Chapter Two Hundred and Seven: Tang Monk's Past Life Karma
Not long after, Tang Seng heard someone in the woods calling for help.
So he followed the voice and searched, and after a while, he found a woman, only to see that the woman's upper body was tied to a tree, but her lower body was buried in the soil.
When Tang Seng saw this, he was puzzled and said:
"This female benefactor, what's wrong with you? Why are you tied here?"
Then you were born very beautiful, with the appearance of sinking fish and falling geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, and seeing Tang Seng at this moment, you are also crying like pear blossoms.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Elder did not know, I originally lived in a poor country, more than 200 miles away from here, my parents are good people who do good deeds and accumulate virtue. A few days ago, during the Qingming Festival, my father and a group of relatives were cleaning the tombs of our ancestors. Unfortunately, I ran into a group of robbers, my parents and all the relatives who rode on horses, and those who sat in the sedan chair, all ran away, only the young me couldn’t run, and fell to the ground in fright.”
"Then many robbers abducted me into the mountains. Seeing how beautiful I am, they all rush to ask me to be his wife. The great king wants me to be his wife. The second king wants me to be his wife. The third and fourth are greedy. Read my beauty, and dozens of small bosses also quarreled, they quarreled endlessly, but in the end they put the blame on me, saying that I was a bad boy."
"That's why they tied me to this tree and left this place. It's been five days and five nights, and I was about to lose my life. I didn't expect to meet Master and you passed by here. Mercy, save my life!"
The monster's words were obviously full of loopholes.
Not to mention how his parents escaped from the bandit's hands, that is, among the bandits, strength has always been respected.
The old nature at the head is the one who speaks the truth. Who would dare to oppose him if he wanted to take possession of this woman?
And if it were an ordinary person, even if she didn't eat or drink for three days, she would starve to death, but she said that she had been tied here for five days and five nights. For such a long time, even if she did not starve to death, she could not have called for help. strength.
At this moment, above the clouds, the six-eared macaque was looking for the place to transform into the fasting, and suddenly saw a black qi in the black pine forest, and knew that a monster had appeared.
Therefore, he didn't care about the fasting, and quickly pressed down the clouds, but saw that the Tang monk was instructing Zhu Bajie to put it down for the woman.
At this time, the six-eared macaque suddenly grabbed the ear of Zhu Bajie, but did not save him.
"Master asked me to save people, what are you doing to me!"
Zhu Bajie was in pain, but his face was puzzled.
The six-eared macaque explained:
"Master is mortal to the naked eye. You can't tell that this is a goblin. Why can't you even tell? How can there be a woman here in this wild country?"
When Tang Seng heard this, he didn't believe it and said:
"Nonsense, this is clearly a woman, how can it be a fairy?"
The six-eared macaque smiled and said:
"When my grandson was a goblin, this kind of trick was left over! How would you know?"
The three disciples under Monk Tang, except for the monk Nasha, were basically all goblins in the human world.
In particular, the six-eared macaque, before being transformed by Buddhism, was much more vicious than many monsters on the Journey to the West.
That Tang Seng also knew in his heart the monsters on the road, and his best ability is to confuse people.
Therefore, he had to obey the words of the six-eared macaque and ignored the woman.
Just as she was about to leave, the woman shouted:
"Master! You leave a good living person unsaved, and what Buddha do you worship without your conscience? What scriptures did you obtain?"
When he heard this, Tang Seng couldn't help it.
If the monster didn't use these words to stimulate Tang Seng, Tang Seng might really ignore it.
However, these words irritated Tang Seng, so he had no choice but to be a good person even though he had suffered several losses before.
Seeing Tang Monk so firm, the six-eared macaque no longer stopped him.
Let Tang Seng save the monster.
But the strange thing is that generally speaking, if the monster succeeds, it will immediately cast a spell to capture Tang Seng directly.
However, this monster continued to follow Tang Seng's master and apprentice, and was not in a hurry to start, but traveled westward with Tang Seng and his apprentice.
Afterwards, Tang Seng and his apprentice took the monster all the way westward, walking 20 to 30 miles, and came to a temple called Zhenhai Chanlin Temple. The monks dressed here were completely different from those of Tang Seng.
They were only seen wearing brocade hats, a pair of copper hoop earrings hanging down from their ears, and wearing plush clothes, but they were Western lamas.
...for flowers...
Although they are both Buddhist disciples, they dress differently.
Although they are dressed differently, they are always from the same family. The host of the temple also warmly received the Tang monk and his apprentice, and arranged accommodation and vegetarian meals.
And that woman was arranged to rest in the Palace of Heavenly Kings.
Early the next morning, the three brothers and sisters had prepared their horses, saluted, and prepared to continue their journey westward.
But that Tang Seng was actually harmed and didn't get up.
If it was in the past, Tang Seng would naturally be the first to get up and get up early to do morning lessons.
But today, he didn't get up now.
The six-eared macaque went to ask, only to find out that the Tang monk was actually ill, and only felt dizzy and aches all over his body.
Some time ago in the Zhuzi Kingdom, the six-eared macaque even performed medical skills to save the king.
But when it happened to Tang Seng, he seemed to have nothing to do.
On the third day, the Tang monk asked the six-eared macaque to bring a pen and ink, saying that he wanted to write a letter and send it to Emperor Taizong of Chang'an City.
He just said that his treatment was ineffective because of his illness, and he would die in the world. He also asked that Li Shiming to send others to study scriptures.
Hearing this, Zhu Bajie was excited and said quickly:
"In this case, we might as well arrange the funeral early, sell the horse first, then pawn the luggage and buy a coffin for the Master to bury, so that we can go home separately!"
At this time, the six-eared macaque said angrily:
"You idiot! Master is the second disciple of Tathagata. Back then, he didn't listen to the Buddha's teaching seriously, fell asleep, and accidentally moved his left foot, kicking a grain of rice from Buddhism to the lower realm. In the afternoon, sweat drips down, who knows that every grain of Chinese food on the plate is hard work! If he wastes this grain of rice, he will suffer from three days of illness today, and when the time comes, he will naturally recover!"
When Zhu Bajie heard this, he was horrified, and secretly said that he was eating and drinking nonsense on weekdays.
However, Zhu Bajie was always a Taoist, completely different from that of the Tang monk.
Therefore, such a thing cannot fall on his head.
His worries are actually completely superfluous! Fan,
