102 Journey to the West (2)
Lin Tingyu carefully recalled the route taken by the little white pig after leaving Tang Seng and his apprentices, and then returned along the original route. It took more than an hour of effort, and sure enough, I saw the three Tang monks and apprentices in front of me.
Because of Bajie's departure, Tang Seng and Sun Wukong were a little sullen. The sand monk looked honest and emotionally intelligent, and kept comforting Tang Seng.
It's a pity that Tang Seng's face is always gloomy.
Sun Wukong soon noticed that there was an extra small tail at the back of the team. He flew over directly with a stick, poked his index finger and middle finger on Bajie's brain as usual, and shouted angrily: "Idiot, didn't you let you go, what are you doing with it?" ”
Tang Seng, who was riding a horse in front, heard the movement from behind, tightened the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head and looked over.
Lin Tingyu has traveled through several worlds, and now he has practiced a little bit of kung fu in this act, his eyes turned red at the moment, and he cried and said: "Master, Brother Monkey, I know that I am a woman, and it is inconvenient to follow you." However, this place is too far from my home, and I have to trek through mountains and rivers to go back, and I have to pass through many yokai territory. I guess I haven't even walked a few miles before I'm going to have to be boiled by a youkai. ”
Sun Wukong said: "So what, do you still want me and Master to send you back to Gao Laozhuang?" ”
Tang Seng said: "Wukong, you have great powers, so you will use your heel cloud to send Bajie a ride, so as not to let her meet monsters halfway and die in a foreign land." ”
When Lin Tingyu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Master, ask Master for mercy, and let the disciple follow Master to the West Heaven to learn scriptures." Although the disciple is not the reincarnation of Marshal Tianpeng like his brother, he is also dedicated to the Buddha. I want to get positive results for myself.
I know that I am a female streamer, and following Master and Brother Monkey may cause you some inconvenience, but. Master can't ignore my determination to become a Buddha because of this!
The Buddha said, 'I only seek the heart and not the Buddha, but the heart and the heart are the Buddha'. Master, the Buddha said that as long as the heart is towards the Buddha, whether male or female, they can preach.
Men and women should be treated differently. That's for the layman. Master and I are both monks, so is it because of the difference between men and women? And will the disciples lose the opportunity to obtain the true scriptures in order to obtain the right results? ”
Listening to Lin Tingyu's words, Tang Seng was a little stunned, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look. It seems that Lin Tingyu's words made him quite insightful.
Sha Seng saw this. Busy said with a humble face: "Second senior brother." Although in front of the Buddha, there is no distinction between men and women. However, you are a woman after all, learning from the west, sleeping in the open air, you are a woman with us, how inconvenient it is.
What's more, we traveled with a team of monks. Take you a woman, this ...... This gets out. Isn't it a joke? ”
Lin Tingyu said: "Senior Brother Sha, your thoughts show that you have not truly comprehended the Buddha's heart. I ask you, why do you and I have hands and feet, and even know some spells, but we don't work, but go to various places every day to make connections? ”
Sha Seng said: "My Buddha once said that monks should abandon their vanity and shame and beg to satisfy their hunger, which is to let me and other monks give up their face and vanity, so as to help their cultivation. ”
Lin Tingyu said: "That's it." My Buddha instructed us and other monks in this way in order to make us abandon our vanity and shame, but if you insist on driving me away as a senior brother because you are afraid of being laughed at by others, isn't it against the Buddha's will? ”
Sha Seng was speechless and looked at Lin Tingyu in a daze. Do you feel that this little white pig has been driven away, and his tongue has become much more clever? will also cite the Buddha's stronghold to reason with her.
Sun Wukong didn't have the scheming of Sha Seng to hide words in his stomach, so he said it directly: "You idiot, why did you leave for so long, and your mouth spoke so neatly?" ”
Lin Tingyu said: "Brother Monkey, what are you talking about, when did I speak badly?" It's just that I keep Master's teachings in mind and don't lie. ”
According to her personal experience, the original owner of the little white pig is really a person who likes to talk, and the mouth has not stopped chattering in her ear.
However, this little white pig used to follow Tang Seng and his apprentices, and he was afraid that he would reveal that he was a woman one day, so he really said very little.
It's just that the original owner of Little White Pig is very young even in the modern world where she originally lived, and she has experienced very little things, and she has not been exposed to any Buddhist scriptures, and she has no understanding of Buddhism at all, at most she knows that monks are not allowed to marry wives or eat meat, which is what she watched on TV.
Therefore, when she faced the Tang monk who regarded the Buddhist precepts as a sacred law, she was quite at a loss. Coupled with the sand monk's demagogic hints on the side, this successfully drove the little white pig out of the team to learn scriptures from the west.
Fortunately, Lin Tingyu has been in contact with some Buddhism in the past, although he is not proficient, but it is still possible to quote a few Buddhist verses.
At this time, Lin Tingyu saw that Tang Seng had never said anything about driving him away, so he raised his head and looked at Tang Seng who was sitting upright immediately, walked closer, and said, "Master, you see, Brother Monkey usually wants to find a meal for us to turn into a relationship; Senior Brother Sha, you usually have to carry the burden, and you still have one less apprentice to lead the horse, so don't drive me away. ”
As she spoke, she was already holding the reins of the horse with some doglegs.
may think that Lin Tingyu's words are somewhat reasonable, Tang Seng has not refuted her, and at this time, when he saw her come up to lead the horse, he had no objection. This can be regarded as recognizing Zhu Bajie's apprentice again.
"Master, in the eyes of the Buddha, how can there be any difference between men and women? Besides, the disciple is devoted to the Buddha, and he has never felt any difference between the master and the disciple just because the master and Brother Monkey are men? Can you stop driving me away because I'm a woman? Lin Tingyu said with a little grievance.
Because Tang Seng and the others already knew that this Zhu Bajie was actually a woman, Lin Tingyu did not deliberately suppress his voice. Her voice sounded a little crisp and immature, sounding like a little girl who was still underage.
Tang Seng no longer said anything because she was a woman. The master no longer has any opinions, Sun Wukong and Sha Seng will naturally not drive the little white pig away, and the four masters and apprentices are on the road again.
Sun Wukong is used to flying in mid-air, monitoring the surroundings for everyone, so as not to be caught off guard by the monsters. And the sand monk walked at the end with the burden, from her demeanor, gaze, etc., no one could see what she was thinking in her heart.
However, Lin Tingyu guessed that the woman was planning the next step in her heart. This time he didn't succeed in driving the little white pig away, and there must be another plan.
The four of them walked all the way, in the mountains and jungles, and it was late at night that a few people found a small temple to rest.
This temple is built in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is not very big, the incense is obviously not very prosperous, not to mention how poor the accommodation conditions are, and even the fasting meal is very crude. For one meal, the four masters and apprentices only got a total of two corn tortillas and a small plate of pickles that were not bigger than a palm.
That's it, according to what the host of the small temple said, he and his apprentices saved it thriftily. Of course, there is not much incense in this small temple, and there can't be too many monks, just one host and two little monks, a total of three people. Probably because he usually fasts too little, the three masters and apprentices are as thin as hemp rods.
The food is pitiful, how dare Sun Wukong and a few other apprentices come forward to share the food? Only let the Tang monk sit at the table and wait for him to finish eating.
The Tang monk broke a piece of corn tortilla and took a bite, only to feel that his mouth was hard and difficult to swallow. However, in the end, he was so hungry that he barely swallowed a few large mouthfuls of pickles, and the piece of tortilla in his hand disappeared.
He broke another piece and was about to send it to his mouth, when he unexpectedly saw the second apprentice next to him, Bajie, swallowing saliva there, obviously swallowing his saliva desperately, and as soon as his heart moved, he handed the untouched corn tortilla to her, and said, "Bajie, since you are hungry, eat it quickly." ”
How can Lin Tingyu really eat? Although this little white pig's body is really uncompetitive, it is obviously a monster, but before he has eaten a meal, he is already hungry and his heart is close to his back.
She also has to play the role of a pleasing apprentice, no matter how hungry she is, she has to endure it, so that the master can eat first and then speak. So, she hurriedly waved her hand and said with a smile, "Master, I'm not hungry yet." This landlord is poor and poor, and there is not much fasting in the small temple, so the master eats first. Master is full first, and then I will say, I am not hungry. ”
As soon as the words fell, I didn't know if I couldn't get along with Lin Tingyu, and the little white pig's stomach made a growling sound.
Sun Wukong laughed twice.
Lin Tingyu's cheeks suddenly turned red with shame.
Tang Seng sighed and said, "Alas, how can you eat so much as a teacher?" If you want to eat, you will eat. As he spoke, he slammed the small plate containing the tortillas and placed it heavily in front of Lin Tingyu.
Sun Wukong also said: "Idiot, since the master asked you to eat, you can eat, why do you bother talking so much?" ”
The original owner of the little white pig immediately became a little indignant, and said, "Eh? This monkey used to bully me, and when I ate, I was afraid that I ate too much, and always grabbed food from my mouth, what happened today? I actually let you eat first. Could it be that he knows that the Eight Commandments are no longer the Eight Commandments they used to be? ”
Lin Tingyu remained silent, and said in his heart: "It's just that a few people found out that Bajie was actually a woman, so they started to let Bajie go." ”
She buried her head in eating the piece of cake in her hand, although this cake is more difficult to swallow in her mouth, but this Zhu Bajie's body is not simple, not two bites, this palm-sized thick corn tortilla was eaten by her.
Tang Seng saw that his second apprentice Zhu Bajie looked like he was not full, and a pair of round eyes stared at the small plate in front of him, and there was a small piece of cake left over by Tang Seng in it. He pushed the small plate in front of Lin Tingyu and said, "Since you haven't eaten enough, you can eat the rest for the teacher." ”
"Division...... Master, this is not very good, Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha haven't eaten yet. Lin Tingyu looked at Sun Wukong and Sha Seng with some embarrassment. (To be continued......)
