Extended information:

Chapter 93 of the original work of "Journey to the West":

If there is love, there will be disaster. How can Lingming distinguish between three stages? When you are done with your journey, you will return to the original sea. Whether you become an immortal or a Buddha, you must make arrangements from this point of view. Pure and pure, free from dust, the fruit is ascending to the upper realm. But the monks in the temple said that Tripitaka and his disciples had disappeared at dawn, and they all said: "I have never kept him, I have never left him, I have never prayed for him, I have simply let this living Bodhisattva go!"

The main point , I saw several big families in Nanguanxiang came to invite them. The monks clapped their hands and said, "We didn't defend ourselves last night, but we will all go away in the clouds tonight." Everyone looked up to the sky and thanked them. As soon as this statement was made, all the officials in the city knew it, and all the big families were asked to manage the five animals, flowers and fruits, and to go to the shrine to offer sacrifices to repay their kindness.

But it was said that the four monks of the Tang Dynasty had a peaceful journey and stayed in the water for more than half a month. Suddenly one day, he saw a high mountain. Tang Monk was frightened and said: "Apprentice, the mountains ahead are steep and steep, so be careful!" The traveler smiled and said: "The road here is close to the Buddha's land. There are almost no evil spirits. Master, don't worry."

Tang Monk said: "Apprentice, although the Buddha's land is not far away, the monk of the temple said the day before yesterday that it is two thousand miles to the capital of Tianzhu. I don't know how many miles it is." The traveler said: "Master, Have you forgotten Zen Master Wuchao's Heart Sutra again?" Sanzang said, "The Prajna Heart Sutra is my mantra. Since the day Zen Master Wuchao taught it, how can I forget it? How can I forget it if I can read it?"

The traveler said: "Master just read it and never asked the master to understand it." Sanzang said: "Houtou! How can you say that I didn't understand it? Can you figure it out?" The traveler said, "I can figure it out."

From then on, Tripitaka and the traveler were silent again. Next to him, Bajie was laughed out of his mind, and Sha Monk was overjoyed. He said: "Face! I am an ordinary demon born, and I am not a Buddhist monk there. I have heard lectures on sutras, there are Buddhist monks there, and I have seen the preaching? Are you lying? Boss, you know what to say, why don't you say anything? Please explain!" Sha Seng said: "Brother, you also believe him. Walking. He only knows how to use sticks, but he knows how to teach scriptures!" Sanzang said: "Wukong can understand the pure things, so don't talk nonsense. Wukong understands the words without words, which is the true understanding." His master and disciples were talking. , but we have walked a long way, a few hills away, and we have seen a big temple by the roadside.

Sanzang said: "Wukong, there is a temple in front of you. Look at the temple, it's not small or big, but it also has glazed green tiles; it's half new and half old, but it also has red walls with eight characters. I can vaguely see the green pines and the canopy, but I don't know if they have been preserved for thousands of years. Listening to the gurgling water, I don't know if they were left in the mountain during that dynasty. On the mountain gate, there is a big book "Bujin Zen". Temple'; On the hanging tablet, there is an inscription of "Ancient Relics""

Walkers saw it as "Bujin Zen Temple", and Bajie also said it was "Bujin Zen Temple". Sanzang thought deeply on his horse: "Bujin, Bujin, isn't this the boundary of the country of Savannah?" Bajie said: "Master, it's amazing! I have been with the master for several years, and I have never seen the way. Today, I know the way." ”

Sanzang said: “No, I often read scriptures saying that the Buddha gave the only tree to the lonely garden in Savatthi City. This garden was said to be bought by the lonely elder to ask the prince. The prince said, "My garden is not for sale. If he wants to buy it, the garden will be filled with gold." After hearing this from the lonely elder, he used gold as bricks to fill the garden, so he bought the garden. , I asked the World Honored One to explain it. I think this is the story of Bujin Temple."

Bajie said with a smile: "If this is the story, let's touch him and give the bricks away. ." Everyone laughed for a while before Sanzang got off his horse.

After entering the mountain gate, I saw people carrying burdens, backpacks, and carts sitting down under the mountain gate. Some people go to sleep and some people go to talk. Suddenly, they saw four masters and disciples, some handsome and some ugly. Everyone was a little scared, but they got out of the way. Sanzang was afraid of causing trouble, so he kept shouting: "Be gentle, be gentle!"

At this time, everyone restrained themselves. After turning around the Vajra Hall, a Zen monk had already walked out, but he looked very majestic. Really - the face is like full moonlight, and the body is like a bodhi tree. With tin sleeves fluttering in the wind, mango shoes on the stone road.

Sanzang met and asked. The monk immediately returned the greeting and asked, "Where did you come from?" Sanzang said, "My disciple Chen Xuanzang, under the orders of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty from the East, was sent to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. I passed by the treasure house and paid homage to it, so I asked to borrow one. We'll stay here tomorrow."

The monk said, "You can live in the barren mountains all the time. I'm very lucky to be able to support you, Elder Kuang." Sanzang thanked him and called the three of them. Walking together, we passed through the cloister and entered the abbot.

After the meeting ceremony, the guests and hosts sat down, and the three travelers also sat down with their hands down.

It is said that at this time, the temple heard that Buddhist monks from the Tang Dynasty in the East were visiting. In the temple, whether big or small, regardless of the long-term residents, hanging couches, elders, and traveling children, all came to see them. After tea, put on the fasting offerings. At this time, the elder was still reciting verses to break the fast. Bajie had already been busy, and the steamed buns, vegetarian food, and noodle soup were all stirred up. At this time, the abbot was also crowded. The knowledgeable ones praised Tripitaka's majesty, and the playful ones all watched Bajie eat.

But Sha Monk glanced at the bottom of his head, pinched Bajie secretly, and said: "Sven!" Bajie was in a hurry and called out to the general in a hurry, saying: "Sven, gentle! My stomach is empty!" Sha Seng smiled and said, "Second brother, you don't know how many gentlemen there are in the world. If you talk about the stomach, it's just like you and me." Only then did Bajie agree to stay.

Sanzang recited the knot and looked around the table, and Sanzang thanked him. The monks asked about the origin of Dongtu. Sanzang mentioned the ancient sites and then asked about the origin of Bujin Temple's name. The monk replied: "This temple was originally given to Solitary Garden Temple in Savatthi State, also known as Gion. Because it was for the lonely elder to invite Buddha to preach, and the ground was covered with gold bricks, so it changed its name. When I looked at this temple, it was At that time, the lonely elder was living in Savatthi State.

My barren mountain was originally the Gion Garden of the elder, so it was named Gubujin Temple. There is also the base of Gion Garden behind the temple. In recent years, if there is a heavy rain, some gold and silver pearls will come out, and some people will pick them up. "Sanzang said: "It is true!" He asked again: "I just entered Baoshan and saw two people under my door. There are many merchants carrying mules and carriages in the corridor. Why do they rest here?" The monks said, "My mountain is called Baijiao Mountain.

It was peaceful in the past, but it was due to the weather cycle. , there are several centipede spirits that often hurt people on the road. Although they are not harmful, people dare not go through it. Because we are late, we are afraid of inconvenience, so we can stay in the barren mountains for a night and wait until the cock crows." Sanzang said, "Let's wait until the cock crows." The master and disciples were talking. I saw him bring the meal again, but he and Tang Monk were waiting to finish eating.

At this time, the first quarter moon was bright, and Sanzang and the traveler were walking leisurely. Another Taoist came to report: "Our teacher wants to meet a Chinese figure." Sanzang turned around sharply and saw an old monk holding a bamboo in his hand. He held his staff and bowed forward: "Is this the master from China?" Sanzang replied: "I dare not."

The old monk praised him endlessly. Because he asked: "Teacher, how long does it live?" Sanzang said: "I have lived in vain for forty-five years. Do you dare to ask the old master of the abbey how long is his life?" The old monk smiled and said: "I am one sixty years older than the teacher." The traveler said: "This year is the first day of the year. I'm a hundred and five years old. How old do you think I am?" The old monk said, "My master's appearance is ancient and clear, but I can't see it in the moonlit night."

After talking for a while, he asked again. Check out the back porch. Sanzang said, "I just told you about the foundation site of the solitary garden. Where is the fruit?" The old monk said, "It's right outside the back door." He quickly opened the door, but he saw an open space with some rubble at the foot of the wall.

Sanzang put his palms together and sighed and said: I recall that in the past Tanasudata used gold and treasure to help the poor and sick. Gion has left its name throughout the ages, so where can the elders accompany Jueluo? He was playing with the moon, walking slowly, approaching the back door, and sat on the stage again. Suddenly he heard the sound of crying. Sanzang listened quietly and sincerely. The cry was from his mother-in-law who did not know the pain.

He felt sad and shed tears, and asked the monks: "Who is so sad?" When the old monk asked, he ordered the monks to go back and make tea first, and then stopped when they saw no one. Bow down to Monk Tang.

Sanzang held up his hand and said, "Old Master, why do you do this ceremony?" The old monk said, "This disciple is more than a hundred years old and knows a lot about human affairs. Every time I sit in meditation, I have seen several people. What a scene. If the master and his disciples talk about something different from others, no one but this master can tell it clearly. "

The old monk said: "On this day in the past year, when I was in the clear moon, I suddenly heard a gust of wind and a sound of sadness and resentment. I stayed at the bed and went to the Gion base to see where I was. I saw a beautiful and upright woman.

I asked him: "Whose girl are you? Why are you here?" 'I locked him in an empty room and made it look like a prison cell. There was only a small hole in the door, and he could only pass a bowl through it.

That day, he was preaching to the monks. I have tied him up, but my monk family is a compassionate person and is unwilling to harm his life. I have to eat with him twice a day to survive. When the monk is dirty, he pretends to be strange, sleeps in the urine, and lies in the feces. During the day, he talks nonsense, and stays silent; when he goes to the quiet place at night, he thinks about his parents and cries.

I went to the city to beg for help and inquire about the princess, so I firmly tightened the lock and did not let him go. Fortunately, the teacher came to the country, and Wan Wang went to the country to use his magic power to discern, firstly, to save the good, and secondly. It shows his supernatural power."

After listening to this, Sanzang and the other practitioners took it to heart. As they were talking, they saw two young monks inviting them to have tea and then went back. Bajie and Sha Monk were in the abbot's house, and they muttered: "Tomorrow we will have to walk on the rooster crow, why don't we come to sleep now!"

The traveler said: "What did the idiot say?" Bajie said: "Let's go to sleep. It's so late at night, why are we looking at the scenery?" Therefore, the old monk dispersed and Tang Monk went to bed. It's exactly that - people are quiet in the moonlight, flowers are dreaming quietly, and the warm breeze blows through the gauze of the wall. The copper pots are dotted to look at the three kettles, and the silver man shines brightly in Jiuhua.

Not long after I slept that night, I heard the cock crow, and all the merchants in front of me got up, lighting the lamps and making rice. The elder also awakened Monk Bajie to buckle his horse and tidy up, and the traveler called for a lighted lamp.

The monk of the temple had already gotten up first, arranged tea, soup and snacks, and was waiting for him later. Bajie was happy, ate a plate of steamed buns, and took the luggage and horses out.

Sanzang and the traveler thanked everyone, and the old monk said to the traveler: "Sorrowful things are in my heart!" The traveler smiled and said: "Please lead me carefully! When I get to the city, I will be able to listen to the sound and observe it. "Principle, you can tell by appearance."

The group of merchants, noisy and noisy, also went on the road together, and passed the Jiming Pass at about Yinshi. At this time, we saw the city wall. It was really an iron urn and a golden city, a divine continent and a heavenly mansion. In that city, the situation of tigers and dragons is high, and the phoenix towers and Lin Pavilions are shining brightly. The flowing water of the royal ditch is like a ring, and the blessed land is surrounded by the mountains.

The dawn flags illuminate the chariot road, and the spring breeze plays flutes and drums all over the river bridge. The king is well-dressed and well-dressed, and his crops are abundant and he is handsome. When I entered Dongshi Street that day, all the merchants invested in hotels. His master and his disciples entered the city. As they were walking, there was a Huitongguan Posthouse. Sanzang and others walked into the posthouse. The person in charge of the post immediately reported to the postmaster: "There are four strange monks outside, leading a white horse in." Welcome to the hall. Sanzang saluted and said: "The poor monk is the one who met the Buddha and asked for sutras from Lingshan Great Leiyin, who was sent by the imperial envoy of the Tang Dynasty in the East. He took the relevant texts with him and came to the court to examine them. I'll let you rest in your office and finish your work." Yi Cheng replied: " This yamen was originally designed to receive guests, so please come in, please come in."

Sanzang was so happy that all his disciples came to meet him. When the Yi Cheng saw the ugly face, he was secretly frightened. He didn't know whether it was a human being or a ghost. He was so frightened that he could only watch the tea and prepare the meal. Sanzang saw that he was frightened and said: "Sir, don't be frightened. Although our three disciples are ugly in appearance, they have good hearts. As the saying goes, the mountains are evil and the people are kind, so why should we be afraid!"

Hearing this, Yi Cheng said, Just then he calmed down and asked: "Master, where is the Tang Dynasty?" Sanzang said: "In the land of China in Nanfangbuzhou." Then he asked: "When did you leave home?" Sanzang said: "In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, today It has taken fourteen years and many hardships to reach here."

Yicheng said: "Holy monk!" Sanzang asked: "How old is this country?" Yi Cheng said: "My place is in the Great Tianzhu Kingdom. It has been more than five hundred years since Taizu Taizong passed down to this day.

The current grandpa loves landscapes and flowers. He was named Emperor Yizong. He changed his name to Emperor Yizong. It's been twenty-eight years since the Jingyan. Sanzang said, "Today I'm going to meet the emperor to change Guan Wen. I wonder if I can meet the king?" Yi Cheng said, "Okay, okay, just right!" The empress, who is in her twenties, is sitting on a cross street, playing with embroidered balls in a colorful building, hoping to get married in the sky and looking for a consort.

Today is a busy time, I think my grandpa, the king, has not retired yet, if you want to change. "Guan Wen, take advantage of this moment to go." Sanzang was about to leave happily when he saw the food being served and ate with Yi Cheng, Xing Zhe and others.

It was past noon, Sanzang said: "I'm good to go." The traveler said: "I will protect the master." Bajie said: "I will go." Sha Monk said: "Second brother, what are you doing? Why don't you pretend to be fat outside the door and teach me?" Sanzang said: "Wu Jing said it well, the idiot is rough, but Wukong is still a little delicate."

The idiot is holding it. He said, "Except for Master, the three of us have pretty much the same appearance." Sanzang was wearing cassock, and the traveler took his bag with him. In the neighborhood, scholars, peasants, industrialists, businessmen, literati, and foolish people all coughed and said, "Let's go and throw the hydrangea!" Sanzang stood by the road and said to the passers-by: "The clothes of the people here, the utensils of the palace, the speech and conversation, It's the same as in the Tang Dynasty.

I think my lay mother also met her old marriage by playing with hydrangeas. There is also such a custom here. "The traveler said: "Let's go and see it. What do you think?" Sanzang said, "No, no! It's inconvenient for you and I to be suspicious." The traveler said, "Master, you forgot what you said to the old monk of Gubujin Temple. The second is to distinguish between true and false.

If the emperor is so busy, he will hear the good news from the princess, and where will he come from?" Sanzang heard that Zhen was with the traveler. I saw all kinds of people watching and playing hydrangea there. ah! Who knew that this time, it was the fisherman who threw down the hook and line and fished out right and wrong from now on.

The story shows that the king of Tianzhu, because of his love for landscapes and flowers, took his concubine and princess to play in the imperial garden on a moonlit night. He provoked an evil spirit and took away the real princess, but he turned into a fake princess. Knowing that Tang Seng is here today and this month this year, he used the country's wealth to build a colorful building, hoping to recruit Tang Seng as his partner, and use Yuanyang's true energy to become Taiyi Immortal.

At three quarters of noon, Tripitaka and the traveler blended into the crowd and approached the downstairs. The princess then lit up some incense and offered her blessing to heaven and earth. There are fifty or seventy rouge embroidery girls on the left and right, and the attendants are holding hydrangeas. The eight windows of the building were exquisite. The princess turned her eyes and looked. Seeing Tang Monk coming very close, she took the hydrangea and threw it on Tang Monk's head with her own hands.

Tang Monk was startled and knocked his Pilu hat sideways. He was busy holding the ball with both hands, and the ball hub rolled into his sleeves.

The people upstairs shouted in unison: "Hit a monk, hit a monk!" Oops! On the cross street, all the merchants and merchants came to grab the hydrangea. The traveler shouted at him, and he straightened his teeth, bowed his waist, and grew three feet tall. He showed his power and made an ugly face. It frightens some people to the point of stumbling and not daring to get close.

In an instant, the people dispersed, and the traveler returned to his original appearance. The embroidered maids and eunuchs upstairs all came to pay homage to Tang Monk and said, "Noble, noble! Please come to the court to congratulate me."

"

Sanzang hurriedly returned the favor, helped everyone up, turned around and complained to the traveler: "You monkey head, you are teasing me again!" The traveler smiled and said: "The hydrangea hits you on the head and rolls in your sleeve. What do I do?" Why complain? Tripitaka said, "How can this be the case?" The traveler said, "Master, don't worry." Then I went to the court to see the driver. I went back to the post and was waiting with Bajie Sha Monk.

If the princess doesn’t want to recruit you, just change the relationship. If she wants to recruit you, tell the king, “Call my apprentice, and I will give him an order.” At that time, the three of me were called to the court, and I could distinguish the true from the false. This is a plan to subdue monsters by relying on marriage. "Tang Monk had nothing to say, and the traveler turned around and went back to the post.

The elder was escorted to the front of the building by the palace ladies and others. The princess went downstairs, held each other's jade hands, boarded the chariot together, laid out her etiquette, and turned around Chaomen. The official Huang Meng had already announced: "Long live the princess, she is holding a monk on her arm, probably wearing a hydrangea, and is waiting for the order outside the Meridian Gate. "

When the king saw this, he was very unhappy and wanted to retreat. He didn't know what the princess meant, so he had to express his feelings. The princess and Tang Seng then went to Jinluan Highness. A couple shouted long live. After the ceremony, they went to the hall and asked: "Where did the monk come from to meet my daughter and hit the ball?" "The monk of the Tang Dynasty fell down and said: "The poor monk was sent by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in Nanfangbuzhou to worship Buddha and seek scriptures at the Leiyin Temple in Xitian. Because of the long journey, he came to pay homage to the king. Passing by the colorful building on the cross street, the princess unexpectedly threw a hydrangea ball and hit the poor monk on the head.

The poor monk is a monk from a pagan religion, how dare he be married to jade leaves and golden branches! Wanwang pardoned the poor monk's death penalty, changed the customs, and sent him to Lingshan early to see the Buddha and seek scriptures. He returned to our land and expressed His Majesty's heavenly grace forever! "

The king said: "You are a holy monk from the East, and it is the thread of marriage that binds you thousands of miles. The widowed princess is twenty years old and unmarried. Since she has chosen this year, month, day and time to be favorable, she throws hydrangeas in the building to find a good match. You can throw it away. Although I don't like it, I don't know what the princess wants.

The princess kowtowed and said: "Father, as the saying goes, marry a chicken and chase the chicken; marry a dog and chase the dog." The girl has vowed to tie the knot first, tell the gods of heaven and earth, and marry in the sky. Today, I hit the holy monk, which is the fate of my previous life, and I have met the fate of this life. How dare I change it? I would like to recruit him as my consort. "King Fangxi, the official of Xuanqin Tianjian chose the date, packed up the dowry in one compartment, and issued an edict to inform the world.

Hearing this, Sanzang did not even thank him for his kindness. He only said: "Pardon me. Pardon! "The king said: "This monk is very unreasonable. I use the wealth of a country to recruit you as my consort, why don't you stop using it here and just learn from it! If you refuse again, Jiao Jinyi Official School will be pushed out and beheaded! "

The elder was so frightened that he kowtowed and started to chant: "Thank you for your Majesty's heavenly grace, but there are four people in the group of poor monks, and there are three disciples outside. I have to accept it now, but I didn't give any instructions. With a word, Wanwang called him here, changed the customs, and taught him to go early so as not to miss the intention of coming from the west. The king then asked accurately: "Where is your apprentice?" "

Sanzang said: "They are all at Huitongguanyi. "Immediately, I sent officials to summon the saint monk's disciples to lead Guan Wenxi to the west, leaving the saint monk here as his consort. The elder had to stand up and serve.

There are poems to prove: The great elixir must not miss the three things, and it is difficult to achieve hatred through asceticism. Destiny. The Tao is cultivated in the saints, and good deeds are accumulated through heaven. Don’t indulge in the six roots of greed, open up your original nature, and be free from discipline. The post summoned Tang Seng's disciples without saying anything.

But the traveler said goodbye to Tang Seng downstairs, took two steps, smiled twice, and returned to the post happily. "Brother, Sha Monk greeted me." , why are you smiling so much? Why is Master missing? "The traveler said: "Master is happy. Bajie said: "I haven't reached the end of the land yet, and I haven't seen the Buddha obtain the sutra. How can I be so happy?" "

The traveler smiled and said: "Master and I only walked to the cross street colorful building. Ke Ke's princess threw an embroidery ball and hit Master. Master was supported by some palace ladies, colorful girls and eunuchs. Arriving in front of the building, he and the princess entered the court in a chariot and were invited to be their consorts. What could this be but joy? "

When Bajie heard about it, he stumbled and beat his chest, saying, "I had known I was going to come back!" It’s all that Sha Monk who is lazy! Don't stop me, I ran directly under the colorful building and hit my old pig with a hydrangea. The princess hit me, but it was not beautiful, wonderful! They are handsome and well-dressed, and it is so interesting for everyone to play tricks! "

Sha Monk stepped forward, touched his face and said: "Don't be ashamed, don't be ashamed! What a mouthful! I bought an old donkey for three coins and boasted about how well I could ride it! If a hydrangea hits you, it will be too late even if the night fever is gone and the paper is delivered. I dare to bring you such bad luck into the door! Bajie said: "You black guy is ignorant!" It's ugly, but it still has some flavor. Since ancient times, skin and flesh have been rough, bones have been strong, and each has its merits. "

The traveler said: "Idiots, don't talk nonsense! And pack your luggage. But I'm afraid that Master will be anxious and call us so that we can go to court to protect him. Bajie said: "Brother said it was wrong again." The master became the consort and went to the palace to have sex with the emperor's daughter. It's not like he was climbing mountains and encountering monsters, and he asked you to protect him! At his age, doesn't he know what's going on under the covers and ask you to help him? "

The traveler grabbed his ears and scolded Lunquan: "You are such a pervert with constant lust! That's nonsense! "

During the commotion, I saw Yi Cheng coming to report: "The Holy One has a decree and sent officials to invite three holy monks. Bajie said: "Duan, why do you want us?" "The Yi Cheng said: "The old divine monk was lucky enough to meet the princess, hit the hydrangea ball, and recruited her as the consort, so he sent an official to invite her. The traveler asked: "Where is the official?" Teach him to come in. ”

The official looked at the traveler and saluted him.

After the ceremony, he didn't dare to look up, so he just recited secretly: "Is it a ghost or a monster? Is it a thunder god or a yaksha?" The traveler said: "That official, if you have something to say, why are you so silent?" The official was so panicked that he was trembling. , holding up the imperial edict with both hands, murmuring: "My princess has invited you to marry me, and my lord has invited me to marry you!"

Bajie said: "I don't have torture tools here, I won't beat you, just take your time. "Don't be afraid." The traveler said, "Are you afraid of being beaten by Mo Chengdao? Quickly pack up your load and go to the court to discuss matters with the master!" Instead, it is revenge.
