Chapter 15: Tang Seng's sister
Coming out of the Wanhua Shop, Shi Hou still couldn't help laughing.
Looking at the Journey to the West five-person group, everyone is unlucky, and they have long been calculated, Sun Wukong is like this, Tang Seng is like this, and the same is true for Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng and Little White Dragon.
Zhu Bajie is a good Marshal Tianpeng doesn't do it, he will get drunk to tease Chang'e, not to mention whether the wine of Tiangong can really get Marshal Tianpeng who is a god drunk, just Zhu Bajie will be reincarnated as a pig fetus, it is a joke.
And Sha Seng, it turned out to be the Jade Emperor's curtain general, the Jade Emperor was accompanied by his side when he traveled, how could he also be a cronie, because he broke a glass cup, the Jade Emperor beat him eight hundred, degraded to the lower realm, and became a fish demon of the quicksand river, and let him once in seven days, the flying sword pierced his chest more than 100 times, what a hatred this must be, really when the Jade Emperor is Yama?
There is also the little white dragon, who is the dragon prince of the West Sea, just because his fiancΓ©e betrayed and hooked up with the nine-headed insect, he was angry but accidentally set fire to the pearl of the palace, and was played by the Dragon King of the West Sea, sued for disobedience, and the five emperors hung him in the air, beat three hundred, and was punished in a few days, could it be that the little white dragon is the species of the family next door to the Dragon King of the West Sea? The dignified Dragon Prince is so worthless?
It's nothing more than that, these are just plays, a big drama arranged by Buddhism, it seems to be just a coincidence, but in fact it is all calculations, how deep the water of this play is, people dare not imagine.
Coming out of Wanhuadian, Shi Hou soon came to Hongjiang Ferry, and before leaving Datang, Shi Hou wanted to go to Jiangzhou to have a look.
Chen Guangrui went to Jiangzhou to take up his post at Wei Zheng's suggestion, and Wei Zheng had a strong pen and ink in the early stage of his journey to the west.
It is precisely because Taizong's soul traveled to the underworld that he will hold a water and land conference, will invite Xuanzang to preach the scriptures, and will send Xuanzang to the west to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures under the guidance of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
It can be said that without Wei Zheng's contribution, the journey to the west would not have been carried out so smoothly, and Wei Zheng named Chen Guangrui to go to Jiangzhou to take up his post, and Tang Seng grew up in Jinshan Temple in Jiangzhou, so it didn't hurt for Shihou to go and see.
Perhaps because of the rain just now, the water flow at the Hongjiang ferry is a little fast, and there is no captain in sight, Shihou holds an umbrella, stands at the ferry and watches, and suddenly hears an abnormal sound not far away, and immediately turns his head to look.
On the left side of the ferry, in a slightly spacious place on the shore, a girl in Xuanyi was holding an umbrella and burning paper in front of the river, as if she was laying the foundation of the ancestors.
"Hey, how do you look like you've seen it somewhere?" Shi Hou was slightly surprised.
But he knew it was impossible.
After he was born from Huaguo Mountain, he also went to the East China Sea, except for the inexplicable stall of a dragon that was grateful to turn into a dragon with a carp, and he never intersected with any woman.
Even that divine dragon has not successfully transformed into a dragon, and Shi Hou has to escape from the East China Sea without knowing what she looks like.
And after coming to the Tang Dynasty, Shi Hou was concerned about the true scriptures, and he didn't have any intersection with any woman, how could he be familiar with the woman he met by the river?
Shihou shook his head, people are paying tribute to their ancestors, so it's better not to think about it himself.
After waiting for a while, a captain came over, Shi Hou got on the boat, and was about to let the captain take him across the river, when he suddenly heard a pleasant female voice, "Brother Captain, please wait a moment." β
Shi Hou sat in the canopy, and when he heard the voice, he looked at it in surprise, and saw that the girl who was burning paper by the river just now had already stepped onto the boat, and her movements were not like a delicate rich lady.
"Miss sit firmly, the river is a little urgent today, and it's not good to fall." The captain was a man in his thirties, and when he saw the girl's eyes lit up, he hurriedly reminded him.
The girl thanked her father-in-law, got into the canopy, saw the stone marquis inside, nodded slightly, and sat aside, looking at the river and distracted.
Shi Hou saw the whole picture of the girl clearly, and he felt even more familiar in his amazement.
The girl has a good face, delicate facial features, jade lips and red face, eyes like starry eyes, nose like jade Qiong, and a natural temperament with a dusty spirit.
Although he was curious in his heart, Shi Hou saw that the girl was sad, so he didn't use excuses to talk to her.
More than half an hour later, the captain propped up the boat across the opposite bank, Shihou and the girl got off the boat one after another, the girl paid the fare and left quickly, and Shihou headed towards Jiangzhou.
Jiangzhou Mansion has long changed the owner, Shi Hou did not enter the city, but went around to the river that is not very far away outside the government office, down the river, Tang Seng was released from this river by Mantangjiao, Shi Hou walked along the river, very elegant.
Unconsciously walked out of thousands of meters, saw a mountain, there was a bell on the mountain, Shihou looked around, found that it was a temple, there were monks cleaning, I think it is Jinshan Temple.
As the place where Tang Seng grew up, Shihou still has some interest in Jinshan Temple.
The elder of the Jinshan Temple, the monk Fa Ming, cultivated the truth and enlightenment, has obtained the secret of no life, and only told him the truth of his life experience after 18 years of adopting Tang Seng, if this Fa Ming monk has no score in his heart, the ghost believes it.
Even Shi Hou suspected that this Faming monk, if it wasn't for the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, if it wasn't for his apprentice Hui'an Xingshi change, otherwise how could he appear in Jinshan Temple to teach Tang Seng from an early age.
"Now that the Journey to the West has ended, this Jinshan Temple has become less important, there should be no masters of Buddhism left, as the place where Tang Seng began to cultivate, there should be some mysteries."
Shihou originally came to Jinshan Temple, immediately crossed the river from the bridge, strolled up the stone steps.
I have to say that Jinshan Temple is worthy of being a famous temple, full of peaceful atmosphere, giving people a sense of tranquility.
However, after going up the stone steps and seeing the splendid temple, this tranquility was broken, and the sound of fighting came from the temple, which made Shihou a little stunned.
Since Jinshan Temple has produced a Tang monk, it has already been famous in the Tang Dynasty, how can anyone come to make trouble.
After walking a few steps, Shihou crossed the gate of the temple, and suddenly saw more than ten warrior monks surrounding one person, and there was a monk in the middle who was fighting with someone with a convenient shovel, and that person turned out to be the girl who met at the Hongjiang ferry.
The girl used a soft sword, and the swordsmanship was very sharp, and there was a faint overflow of sword energy, but it was suppressed by the monk's convenient shovel.
"Strange, how did this girl end up here?" Shi Hou wondered in his heart, and heard the monk call a Buddha name.
"Amitabha, female donor, this place is a pure place for Buddhism, don't make mistakes, return the relics of the elders of this temple, and leave quickly."
"Hmph, you monks are not good people, you are separated from people's flesh and blood, deceiving people to repay their father's grievances, I just want to see how the blood book was written back then, you dare to stop me? Then I will kill you. β
The girl's face was cold, and the sword qi in her hand suddenly flourished, and she forced the monk to retreat step by step.
"Amitabha, the donor actually came with a grudge and defiled the elders of our temple, and the poor monk is blamed for subduing demons with his strength, and the Buddha's family is pure." The monk's face is compassionate, but the light of the Buddha rises on his body, he is actually a Buddhist disciple who has achieved cultivation, and with a turn of the move, it is convenient to shovel out the Buddha Gate Magic Wand Method, and he immediately slashed towards the girl, and there was no Buddhist compassion.
Although the girl has practiced, but what she cultivates is only secular martial arts, although the true qi is exquisite, how can it be compared to the Buddha's light mana, the soft sword sword qi is scattered, and the moves are even more scattered, and she is about to die under the monk's shovel.
"Isn't it a shame for a group of monks to bully a young girl?" At this moment, a banter sounded from the side.
The monk turned his head in shock, and saw a figure passing through the circle of warrior monks, reaching out against his convenient shovel, just one press, the monk vomited blood and flew upside down.
The girl thought that she would definitely die, and closed her eyes miserably, but she thought that her waist suddenly tightened, and her feet were hanging in the air, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw that her feet were like floating lights, and she was taken out of the courtyard wall of Jinshan Temple.
But in a moment, she had reached the foot of the mountain, the girl came back to her senses, and found that she was still being hugged around her waist, and she couldn't help blushing, and broke free, and just about to speak, she saw that the person who saved her was a scholar.
"Is that you?"
The girl recognized Shihou at a glance, and was a little unconvinced.
"Miss is polite, I don't want to say goodbye to the ferry, and I met again, but how could Miss have a conflict with the monk of Jinshan Temple, if it weren't for the next play, Miss is afraid that her life will not be guaranteed, and the monk of Jinshan Temple is also, and he is really willing to kill him."
Shi Hou arched his hand, his eyes with a hint of curiosity.
Listening to the monk's meaning, the girl seems to have taken away the relics of the elders of Jinshan Temple, and the blood book mentioned by the girl seems to have a story.
"Thank you Gongzi for saving me, it's just that this is my private matter, and it's inconvenient to talk to Gongzi." The girl hesitated and smiled bitterly.
When Shi Hou saw her like this, he felt even more familiar, and suddenly his heart moved, and he was in line with someone in Sun Wukong's memory, his eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in a lost voice, "I take the liberty of asking, is there a relationship between Miss and Tang Xuanzang, the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty?" β
As soon as these words came out, the girl's face changed, she quickly retreated a few steps, and the soft sword wrapped around her waist was in her hands, and she pointed at Shi Hou and asked sharply, "Who are you?" β
Shi Hou saw her reaction, and immediately knew that his guess was eight or nine, and immediately said, "I have seen the holy monk in Chang'an City, and I see that the young lady's face is somewhat similar to him, so it feels familiar, and Jinshan Temple is the place where the holy monk grew up, and he was known to everyone in the blood book back then, so he took the liberty to ask, if the young lady minded, he didn't ask." β
Seeing the sincerity of Shi Hou's answer, the girl had just saved herself, and her heart immediately softened, put down the soft sword, and said with a wry smile, "If I say that the holy monk is my brother, will the son laugh at me for deliberately climbing relatives without knowing the height of the sky?" β
Although Shi Hou had some guesses, he was still stunned.
Will Tang Seng have a younger sister? It's a joke, right?
