Journey to the West, Chapter 48

The forty-eighth time: the magic beckons the cold wind and heavy snow, and the monk thinks of worshipping Buddha and walking on the ice.

It is said that believers in Chenjiazhuang and other places. , clamoring for pigs, sheep and pigs, carried straight to the inspiration temple and put the boys and girls on top. Monkey turned around and saw the incense sticks on the table. There is a gold plaque on the front with the words "God of Great Feeling" written on it, and there is no other image. The believers lined up and kowtowed to each other, saying, "Grandpa, at this time of this year, Chen Cheng, the master of sacrifice in Chenjiazhuang, was different from other believers. According to the annual rule, they presented a boy named Chen, a girl named Chen Yi called gold, and many pigs and sheep for the king to enjoy, so as to ensure good weather and abundant crops. " I would like to burn the paper horse and go back to my house.

When Pig saw the crowd dispersed, he said to Monkey, "Let's go to my house." "Where is your home?" Asked the monkey. Pig said, "Go to Chen's house to sleep." . "This idiot is talking nonsense again," Monkey said. "Since you promised him, you should make peace with him." Pig said, "You are not a fool, but you call me a fool!" Let's lie to him. Why don't we sacrifice for him and be ourselves? "Don't talk nonsense," Monkey said. "This is for people's concern. We must wait for the king to eat it. This will be the whole story. "Otherwise, it will be ugly to teach him to bring disasters and injuries."

Just then, I heard the wind whistling. Pig said, "Oh, no! The wind is ringing. That's a penis! " Monkey just called, "Don't talk until I agree." Suddenly, a devil came from outside his temple. What do you think of him?

The shining golden helmet is as bright as new, and there is a treasure belt wrapped around the waist.

Eyes as bright as stars, teeth as serrated.

Smoke is floating under your feet, and the surrounding fog is warm and smoky.

There is a cold wind when walking, and the temperature is standing layer by layer.

However, it helps drivers like a roller shutter, just like the door god of the town temple.

The monster stopped the temple gate and asked, "Which family is offering sacrifices this year?" Monkey said with a smile, "By the way, Chen Cheng and Chen are village heads." When the monster heard the answer, he doubted, "This little boy is bold and eloquent. He often comes to support the beneficiaries. He asked him again and again, and he was scared out of his wits and grabbed him with his hand. He's dead. How can the little boy cope today? " The monster dared not take it, so he asked, "What are the names of boys and girls?" Monkey said with a smile, "Dignā ga boy, you've weighed gold." . The monster said, "This festival was an old rule last year. Now it's offered to me, so I should eat you. " "I dare not resist," Monkey said. . "Help yourself." Hearing this, the monster dared not do it. He stopped the door and shouted, "Don't talk back! I always eat virgins first, but this year I eat virgins first! " Pig panicked and said, "Your Majesty, let's get back to normal. Don't eat bad examples. "

The monster couldn't say anything, so he let go to catch Bajie. The idiot jumped down, showed his true colors, pulled out the nail and made a sudden snatch. The monster withdrew his hand and walked forward, only listening. Pig said, "The armor is broken!" The monkey looks at him now, too. It turned out to be two scales the size of ice trays. He shouted, "Catch up!" They jumped into the air. Because the monster came to the meeting, he was unarmed. He asked absently with empty hands, "Which monk are you? You came here to lie, broke my fragrance and ruined my reputation! " "I didn't know there was such a splash," Monkey said. . "I'm a disciple of Tang Sanzang, a native of East China, and I've been sent to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures. I lived in the Chen family last night, and I heard that there were evil spirits, so I used a pseudonym to inspire me. Every year, I want a boy and girl festival. It is our kindness to save lives and catch you! Come as soon as possible! Eat two boys and girls a year. How many men and women have you eaten? Give it back to me one by one, and I will spare you the death penalty! " When the monster heard this, he left. Pig nailed palladium again and missed. He blew a strong wind and flew into the sky in Hanoi.

"Don't drive him away," Monkey said. . "This strange idea is something in the river. We'll try to catch him tomorrow and send my master across the river. " Pig did as he was told, and went back to the temple, where he sacrificed the pigs and sheep and moved them to the Chen family together with the desktop. At this time, the Tang Priest, the Sand Monk and the Chen Jia brothers were waiting for letters in the hall when they suddenly saw them throwing pigs, sheep and other things in the yard. Sanzang stepped forward and asked, "Wukong, how about the sacrifice?" The monkey told the story that the famous exorcist jumped into the river, and the parents were very happy. He immediately ordered the wing to be cleaned and the bed made, and asked his master and disciples to go to bed.

But the monster was ordered to return to the water and sit quietly in the palace. The family members in the water asked, "Your Majesty enjoys the festival every year and returns happily. Why are you upset today? " The monster said, "I enjoy it all the year round and brought you some leftovers." Even I haven't eaten today. " He was so unlucky that he met an enemy and almost died. The aquarium asked, "Your Majesty, which one is it?" The monster said, "He is a disciple of a holy monk in the Tang Dynasty in the eastern soil. He went to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha for Buddhist scriptures and pretended to be a man and a woman, sitting in the temple. I was almost killed by his true face. It has always been said that Tang Sanzang is the tenth best man in practice, but he needs to eat a piece of his meat to prolong his life. "I didn't expect that he had such a disciple, but I was ruined by his reputation and incense. I was bent on catching Tang Priest, but I was afraid I couldn't."

Among the Shui people, a woman in mottled clothes flashed out, bowed down to the monster and said with a smile, "If your majesty wants to catch the Tang Priest, why not?" But I wonder if I catch him, can I get some wine and meat? "If you have a plan," said the monster, "you will make a firm promise to arrest the Tang Priest and be your brother and sister, so that you can enjoy yourself. The old lady thanked her and said, "I have long known that the king has the power to call the wind and rain, and can stir the sea and cross the river." I wonder if it will snow? " The monster said, "it will fall." "Since it will snow, I wonder if it will freeze?" "Better!" Said the monster. The old lady clapped her hands and laughed: "It's so easy! Relax. " The monster said, "tell me what you can do easily." ""Tonight is the third night, "said the old lady." Your majesty need not hesitate. Do it early. There will be a cold wind and heavy snow, which will freeze the Tongtian River. When we changed, we became several human figures, lying at the intersection, carrying backpacks, umbrellas and trolleys, walking on the ice. The Tang Priest was in a hurry to learn the scriptures. When he saw such a pedestrian, he crossed the ice flatly. "Your Majesty sat firmly in the middle of the river, and when the footsteps rang, the ice broke, and even his disciples fell into the water, getting up all the time!" That monster smells. He said with great joy: "Great! Wonderful! " Even out of the water room, stepping on the wind and making snow, freezing into ice is not a problem.

It is said that the disciples of the four elders of the Tang Dynasty all rested in the Chen family. It was almost dawn, and the disciples were cold and cold. Bajie coughed and hawed, but he couldn't sleep. He cried and said, "Brother, it's so cold!" Monkey said, "You idiot, you are not handsome!" How can a monk be afraid of the cold if the cold and heat do not invade? "Disciple, it's really cold," Sanzang said. You see, that's it:

Without heating, hands are like ice. At this time, the dead leaves are frosted and the pine trees are frozen. The ground fissure is very cold, and the pool water is condensed water. How can the monks meet at the mountain temple when the fishing boat is missing? The woodcutter worries about wood, but Wang Sun likes charcoal. Recruiting people must be like iron, and poetry is like drilling. Fur coats are still too thin, but mink still hates light. The futon is stiff and the paper account is shocking. The embroidered quilt is heavily padded and the bells are shaking. "

Teacher and pupil couldn't sleep, so they got dressed and opened the door to see, ah! It's white outside, so it's snowing "You're cold, it's snowing so hard!" Said the monkey. Look around, it's snowing! But please note:

Clouds are gathering and the fog is heavy. The clouds are dense and the wind is cold and empty; The fog was heavy and the ground was covered with heavy snow. It's really six flowers, and a piece of dancing Joan; Thousands of trees, each with its own jade. Powder accumulates instantly and turns into salt instantly. A white parrot loses its element, and a white crane has its feathers. In addition, thousands of rivers in Wu Chu flooded several trees in the southeast. However, it's like fighting back against Yulong 3 million, and it's really like black sheep flying all over the sky. There, Dong Guolu, Yuan Anwo and Sun Kangying studied; I didn & prime; t see Zhou Zhou, Wang Gongbi and Su Wu having dinner. But only a few huts are made of silver, and Wan Li is like jade. What good snow! Catkin is full of bridges and pear blossoms are full of houses. Catkin overflows the bridge, and fishermen at the bridge hang hemp fiber; Pear blossoms fill the house, leaving wild Weng to simmer. It is difficult for a guest to sell wine, but it is difficult for a pale head to Xun Mei. Sprinkle and cut butterflies, float and cut goose clothes. Round after round, rolling with the wind, layered road fans. Cold air wears a small curtain, and cold air passes through you. It is auspicious to have a bumper harvest, and it is good to congratulate the world.

The snow fell like a jade. Mentors and disciples sighed for half a day, only to see the Chen family, with two servants, sweeping the road, and two people sending hot soup to wash their faces. After a while, they brought tea and milk cakes and charcoal fire, and they all went to the wing, where the disciples sat down. The elder asked, "Old benefactor, you are just in time. I wonder if it can be divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter? " Mr. Chen said with a smile, "Although this is a remote place, the customs and people are different from those in China. As for all crops, seedlings and livestock, it is the same day. Is it reasonable to divide the four seasons? " "It's four o'clock," Sanzang said. . "Why is it so snowy and cold now?" Chen said: "Although it's July, yesterday was already the Millennium, and it was August Festival. I have frost and snow in August all the year round. " "It's very different from my native land," Sanzang said. . "I won't have it until the winter vacation."

Just then, I saw the servant come to the table and invited him to eat porridge. After the porridge, the snow was heavier than in the morning, and soon the ground was two feet deep. Sanzang wept with heartache. "Don't worry, master," Chen said. "Don't worry about the snow." I left a lot of food to feed my lords for the rest of their lives. "The old benefactor doesn't know the sufferings of the poor monk," Sanzang said. God has given me the will to personally send me out. The imperial hand in the Tang Dynasty held a cup and asked me when I could come back. I don't know the dangers of mountains and rivers. It only takes three years. If you study well, you will be an official and return to China. I've been gone for seven or eight years, and I haven't seen the face of the Buddha. I'm afraid I'm violating the imperial limit, and I'm afraid of evil spirits, so I'm very anxious. Today, we are destined to stay in Tanfu. Last night, the fool paid a small fee and asked for a boat to cross the river. " Unexpectedly, it snowed heavily and the road was crowded. I don't know when I can go home! "Don't worry, sir, it's just that many days have passed. Where are they these days? "Let's wait until it clears up and the ice melts. When an old chap like me loses all his family and property, he will take care of it and take his master across the river.

I saw another boy coming for breakfast. After eating in the hall and chatting for a while, lunch was interrupted one after another. Sanzang felt uneasy when he saw the abundant supplies. "Since you are allowed to stay, you can only treat each other at home," he said. Chen said, "The public offered sacrifices instead of sacrifices to thank him for saving his life. Even if we hold a banquet every day, it's hard to reward you. " After that, it snowed heavily and people left. Seeing Sanzang unhappy, Chen Lao cleaned the garden and set a big fire. Please go to the snow cave to relax. Pig said with a smile, "The old man has no idea! You can enjoy the garden in February and March. It's snowing and it's very cold. What can you enjoy? " "Idiots don't understand," Monkey said. "Snow is naturally quiet. One is to enjoy the scenery, and the other is to relax with Master. " Chen: "Exactly, exactly." So this garden is invited, but see:

The scenery in Sanqiu is extremely beautiful. Loose jade pistil, decaying willow hangs silver flower. Jade moss piled up under the steps, bamboo shoots in front of the window. Qiaoshishan, in the fish pond. Qiaoshi Mountain, Peak and Jade Bamboo Shoots; In fish ponds, clear water is used as an ice tray. The hibiscus on the shore is light in color, and the hibiscus twigs on the cliff are drooping. Begonia, completely overwhelming; Wintersweet tree, talk about Xinzhi. Peony Pavilion, Liu Haiting, Dangui Pavilion and pavilions are all piled up with goose feathers; Butterfly wings are everywhere, in the bosom, among the guests and at the starting place. Chrysanthemum and jade are two hedges of gold, and several trees are red and white. Countless leisure rooms are hard to find, and the snow-watching cave is as cold as ice. There is an animal face like a copper brazier, which is a hot charcoal fire. There are several tiger skins up and down, covered with soft and warm paper windows

There are several famous ancient paintings hanging on the wall, but that's:

Seven sages pass through the customs, fishing alone in the cold river, overlapping snow scenes; Su Wu eats blankets, folds plums, and Lin Qiongyu writes in cold language. I can't tell you how easy it is to buy fish near Shuige, but it is difficult to sell wine on the snowy mountain trail. What's the use of going to Penghu when it's really a knee-deep place?

Watching and playing, they sat down in the snow cave, learned from their neighbors and drank fragrant tea. Chen Lao asked: Gentlemen, can you drink? "I don't drink," Sanzang said. . "I just drink a few glasses of pure wine." Old Chen was happy and ordered: "Take vegetarian fruit, stew warm wine, and make soup with you cold." The boy lifted the table around the stove, had a few drinks with two neighbors and put the fire away.

I didn't realize it was getting late, but I still invited him to the lobby for a late breakfast. I heard people in the street say, "What a cold day! Freeze Tongtianhe! " Hearing this, Sanzang said, "Wukong, freeze the river. How can we live? " Chen said: "Suddenly it was cold. I think it was frozen in the shallow water by the river." Pedestrian way: "800 Li is as cold as a mirror. There are people walking at the intersection! " When Sanzang heard that someone was leaving, he was going to see it. "Don't be busy, master," Chen said. "It's late today. Go and see it tomorrow. " So we left each other, but we were neighbors, and we finished fasting very late, and we were still resting in the wing.

At dawn the next day, Pig got up and said, "Brother, it's colder tonight, and the river will freeze." Facing the door, Sanzang prayed to heaven and said, "Dear gods and disciples, come to the West, sincerely worship the Buddha, and have experienced mountains and rivers without any regrets." As for this, thanks to God's help, the river is frozen, and my disciples are in vain. When I got back, I played it on the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and thanked him wholeheartedly. After the ceremony, he taught Jason Wu to ride across the river on the ice. Lao Chen added: "Don't worry, in a few days, when the snow melts and freezes, my old buddy will drive you by boat." . Friar Sand said, "As long as you do it, you can do it, and you can stay. What you said is groundless, but what you heard is better than what you saw. " My horse is on my back. I will ask my father to have a look. Chen said to him, "That makes sense. Teacher: "Little boys, go and bring us six horses!" " ! "Don't carry the Tang Priest's horse." There are six small price to follow, a line of people walked to the river, the whole city is:

Snow is like a mountain, and clouds are broken. The cold congeals thousands of peaks, and the rivers and lakes are flat. It's windy and slippery. Fish in the pond snuggled up to the dense algae, and wild birds loved withered grass. The recruitment of the Great Wall is falling, and the river head is knocking on its teeth. Break a snake's belly and a bird's foot. As expected, this iceberg is hundreds of feet high. Thousands of valleys are cold and floating silver, and one river is cold and soaking jade. The east is confident that there are stiff silkworms, and there are indeed rat holes in the north. Wang Xiang fell down, crossed the river, and the creek bridge settled overnight. The winding swamps are mountainous and the abyss overlaps. The sky is wide without waves, and the clear ice is like land.

When Sanzang and his party reached the river, they drew the reins and watched, and someone was walking at the intersection. "Where are those people on the ice going, benefactor?" Sanzang asked. Chen: "That's the other side of the girl country. This man is doing business. What is worth one hundred dollars here is worth ten thousand dollars there; What is worth a hundred dollars over there may be worth ten thousand dollars here. Profit is more important than cost, so people ignore life and death. Every year, there are five or seven people in a boat, or a dozen people in a boat, crossing the ocean. " Seeing that the river is frozen now, I gave up my life and left. "Nothing in the world is more important than fame and fortune," Sanzang said. "Like him, he risked his life for profit. My disciple is loyal to his orders, but it is only for the sake of fame. How can he be different from him? ""Wukong, hurry back to the donor's house, pack your bags, knock on your horse's back, and take advantage of this ice and snow to go to the Western Heaven early. " Walker agreed happily.

Friar Sand said, "Master, as the saying goes, you should eat a thousand liters of rice in a thousand days." I have asked Chen's family to stay a few more days. When the weather clears up and freezes, I'm afraid I'll make mistakes in my busy schedule. "Jason Wu, what a stupid idea!" Sanzang said. If it is February, it is as warm as the sky, and it can be frozen all the time. It's August, it's as cold as a day, how to thaw it! But you haven't missed another half year's trip? "

Pig jumped off the horse and said, "Don't talk nonsense, wait for the old pig to see how thick it is." "Idiot," Monkey said, "I tried water the night before and I was able to throw stones. It's freezing and heavy now, how can I try? " Pig said, "Brother, I don't know." . "Let me build him with nails and palladium. If the building is broken, it is like walking on thin ice and dare not walk; If you can't build it, it's ice thick. Why not? " "Not bad," Sanzang said. The idiot dragged his clothes to the river, raised palladium in his hands and tried his best to build it. I only heard a plop, covered with nine white marks, and my hand was painful. The idiot laughed and said, "Go! Let's go Even the bottom is blocked. "

Sanzang was very happy to hear this. He went back to the Chen family with others and only taught him to pack up and walk. The two old people couldn't stay any longer, so they had to arrange some dry food to bake and fry, and make some biscuits and steamed buns to send. The whole family kowtowed, then held out a plate of scattered gold and silver, knelt before them and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I want to have a meal on the way to show my respect. " Sanzang waved and shook his head, but didn't listen. "What's the use of money when I'm a monk?" I dare not take it out on the way. "I just want to spend my days in fast food, and collecting dry food is enough." Parents begged again and again, and Monkey twisted a small piece with his fingertips, weighing about four or five dollars, and handed it to Tang Priest. "Master, just to make money, don't let me betray my parents."

So we said goodbye to each other and went to the ice rink by the river. The horseshoe slipped and almost threw Sanzang off his horse. Friar Sand said, "Master, it's difficult!" "Stop!" Pig head said. "Ask Chen Laoguan for a straw for me." "What's the use of straw?" Asked the monkey. "Where did you learn that horseshoes should be wrapped in straw so as not to slip?" Pig said, "I don't want to fall off my master." Chen Lao listened to the words on the shore, ordered people to take a pile of straw, but asked Tang Priest to disembark. Bajie wrapped the horse's feet in grass and walked on the ice.

Don't let Mr. Chen go three or four miles away from the river. Pig handed the nine rings to Tang Priest and said, "Master, you got on the horse." "This fool is treacherous," Monkey said. "Zhang Xi was originally chosen by you. Why did you let Master take it?" "You haven't walked on ice, you don't know," Pig said. Where there is freezing, there are dazzling eyes. If you stand on the blinding eye and take it off, if there is no cross arm, the bone will fall into the water, just like a big pot cover, how can it get up! It must be so framed. " Monkey said with a smile, "What a fool!" Sure enough, everything depends on him. The elder was carrying Zhang Xi, Monkey was carrying an iron bar, Friar Sand was carrying a staff, Pig was carrying luggage, and palladium was nailed to his waist, so the disciples went ahead with confidence. This continued until the evening, and I ate some dry food, but I didn't dare to stop for a long time. Facing the stars and the moon, the scenery on the ice is bright and white, so I have to run away. It was indeed non-stop. The disciples didn't sleep a wink all night and walked all night. Dawn ate some dry food again and looked west again.

When I was on the road, I heard a bang under the ice, which almost scared the white horse. Sanzang was frightened and said, "Disciple! Why is it so loud? " "The river is frozen hard," Pig said. . "The ground rang, or the middle part was blocked." Hearing this, Sanzang was pleasantly surprised. He rides a horse, so traveling is not a problem.

It is said that since that demon returned to Shuifu, it has attracted many spirits under the ice. After waiting for a long time, he heard the sound of hooves. He got a magic skill at the bottom, which was slippery and frozen. He let Sun Yue fly into the air, threw the white horse into the water early, and all three took off.

The demon captured Sanzang, led them into the mansion and called, "Where is Gu Mei?" The old lady greeted the door and saluted, "Your Majesty, dare you!" "Xianmei, how can you say that?" The devil said. A word spoken is past recalling. It is said that I followed your plan, arrested the Tang Priest and became your brother and sister. "Today, it turns out that this is a clever plan. After the Tang Priest was arrested, the order was delicious. " "Young boys, bring the desk, sharpen the knife, cut open the monk's stomach, peel off his flesh and play musical instruments on the wall, so that you can eat with your sister and prolong your life." "Your Majesty, don't eat him, or his disciples will quarrel." The old lady said. "Why don't you wait two days, let the servant not look for it, then cut it open, ask the king to sit down, and all the family gather around to play the piano, sing and dance, and present it to the king?" As the monster told him, he hid the Tang Priest behind the palace and made a six-foot-high stone box and covered it in the middle.

Pig and Friar Sand fished out their bags in the water, put them on a white horse, divided the waterways, drummed the waves and went out of the water. Monkey saw him in mid-air and asked, "Where is Master?" Pig said, "Master's surname is Chen." . "I have got the last name. Now there is nowhere to be found. I want to go ashore to be a district office. " Originally, Bajie was Marshal Tian Peng, in charge of 80,000 sailors in Tianhe. Friar Sand was born in quicksand Hanoi, and White Horse was born in West Hailong Sun. Therefore, he can know water. The Great Sage in the sky led the way, then turned to the East Cliff, basked in horses, and swept clothes. The Great Sage's cloud fell and they went to Chenjiazhuang together. A long time ago, someone reported to Er: "Only three of the four masters have studied the Scriptures." The brother hurried out of the door. When he saw that his clothes were still wet, he said, "Gentlemen, I have been waiting for so long, but I refused to stay. I just want to rest like this. Why don't you see Master Sanzang? " Pig said, "Don't call Sanzang." . "Call Chen Jingdi." The parents cried and said, "Poor child! Poor thing! " I said, "When the snow melts and the boat is ready to be delivered, I quit. I'm dead!" " "Don't mind the ancients, old man," Monkey said. My master cares that they will live long. I know that the psychic king must have calculated the law. " Don't worry, we will starch clothes, dry customs and get forage for the white horse. When my brother finds that fellow and saves Master, we will simply exterminate the grass and let your family enjoy peace forever. Hearing this, Chen Lao was overjoyed and ordered people to confess quickly.

After the three brothers had a hearty meal, they gave their horses to Chen Jiawei to ride, each armed, and went to the roadside to find the master to catch the monster. To be exact:

Stepping on the ice by mistake will harm nature. How can Da Dan leak out?

After all, I don't know how to save Tang Priest. Listen to the next decomposition.
