Chapter 9 outsider

After an hour, Dayu opened his eyes and said, "Wukong, if you have something to do yourself, there is no serious problem here. Even if there are extremely powerful figures from the Western Paradise, they will just retreat." Wukong saw that he was delayed here for another day, and if he didn't come back for a long time, he really couldn't justify it, so he said: "Everything depends on you." Then he went back to Chenjiazhuang with the method of earth escape. On the bank of the Tongtian River, the miserable green is still there. Wukong saw that the poisoned area is huge, and there are thousands of miles along the river.

Back at old man Chen's house, Tang Seng saw a golden ring on Wukong's head, and asked in surprise, "Wukong, what is this?" Wukong knew that the Qilin and Phoenix four were fighting in the sky, and he was afraid that they couldn't hide it, so he didn't lie, saying: "The day before yesterday, a few strange beasts fought in Tongtian River. A golden ring came, but it was put on my head impartially, and I am worried about this!" Wu Hui stepped forward to touch it, examined it carefully, and said, "Senior brother, it's very tight, I'm afraid you'll have to pry it with a lever."

Wukong said: "I have tried all kinds of methods, but I can't get it off." Tang Seng said: "Although this golden ring is beautiful, it was obtained for no reason. It is better to lose it. You might as well go to the Bodhisattva and take it off." Wukong said: "I'm going to look for the Bodhisattva. The Tongtian River was poisoned by the strange beast. If you don't understand, I'm afraid the people by the river will suffer." Tang Seng said: "That's good, that's good, then go to Wukong!" On the Putuoluojia Mountain in the South China Sea, Guanyin is stroking a jade bottle in a daze. She just came back from Lingshan Mountain, and she is still thinking about what the Tathagata said to her, "The things in the bottle can cure the poison that reaches the sky."

While thinking about it, Wukong suddenly arrived.Guanyin didn't call Wukong in, but greeted him out. Wukong saw Guanyin and said: "Bodhisattva save disciple!" Avalokitesvara saw the golden ring on Wukong's head and asked, "What is this?" Wukong told himself that he was watching the battle and was given a golden ring for no reason.Guanyin was shocked for a moment, although she didn't recognize the golden ring, she could vaguely see that it was very similar to the three hoops given to her by Tathagata, and it was much more advanced. Who is calculating Wukong?

Avalokitesvara listened to Wukong's description of the appearance of those people, but only recognized one Zulong, so Avalokitesvara guessed that in all likelihood, it was the people in Taoism who tricked him, and the purpose of finding a few masters to pretend to be a big fight was actually to seduce this curious monkey. watch.Otherwise, why did these people go to Tongtian River to fight? But who made this golden ring, and why is it so similar to the three hoops given to him by the Buddha?Wukong is no better than a black bear, and it is absolutely extraordinary to be able to capture his magic weapon. This matter must be reported to the Buddha as soon as possible.

Avalokitesvara asked Wukong: "Wearing this gold ring, is there any discomfort?" Wukong said: "It's just that the headband is uncomfortable, there is no other discomfort." Avalokitesvara secretly said, that person hasn't cast the spell yet, so you don't notice it, and the days of suffering are still to come. "Then wear it first." Guanyin said. Wukong begged: "Greatly compassionate Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, why am I wearing this thing for no reason, and I beg you to use your supernatural powers to help me take it off!" Avalokitesvara even gave the three hoops that Tathagata gave only for others to wear, but he couldn't take them off. He was even more powerless with Wukong's golden ring, saying: "Wukong, I can't do anything about your golden ring. I'm afraid I have to ask for it." Only the Buddha can do it."

Wukong sighed, and said: "I think back then, when I was a demon in the world, how happy I was. Even if I learned scriptures from Tang Monk, I never lost my mind, but ever since I wore this golden ring, my heart has never been at peace." He is not There is no reason to complain, if Tathagata can take off his golden ring, that is the best result. If he finds someone else to pick off the golden ring, although he is happy for a while, he is afraid that the Tathagata will find out and become suspicious.If the Tathagata does it himself, then there will be no worries, and some things can be proved.

Avalokitesvara said: "The road to the west is long, and all kinds of hardships are for testing the mind. You have traveled all the way, and there is no big obstacle. Wear this golden ring for you, so that you can always be alert." Wukong said: "Forget it, come if you have a destiny, and go if you don't. Since the Bodhisattva said so, I will only talk about the day I see the Buddha." Avalokitesvara smiled and said, "Okay, so we can see that the heart of learning scriptures is as strong as iron. You came here today, not just for the golden ring." Wukong said: "The Bodhisattva has a clever plan. I came today, and the golden ring fell next. After the four beasts fought a battle, there was a pool of poisonous poison on the Tongtian River. Bodhisattva rescue."

Avalokitesvara said: "Okay, I will go with you." Seeing that Guanyin didn't hesitate at all, Wukong was puzzled.He once heard people say that Xiangliu's poison is unparalleled in the world, so Guanyin has a way to save it.Judging by her demeanor, it seemed that she had known about this for a long time. Sure enough, Guanyin also had contact with Xiangliu and Fenghuang. Wukong guessed wrong this time. Although Avalokitesvara was also involved in the King of the Five Kinds, she was only ordered to take care of the two-headed monster fish in the Weishui River of the Yin Division. What is the connection with Phoenix.She is confident in her chest only because the Tathagata gave her a bottle of antidote in advance.

The two came to the Tongtian River in a short time, Guanyin looked at the river bank from a distance, his face changed slightly, what kind of poison is this, it is so powerful!The nectar in her willow bottle is also a wonderful antidote, Guanyin has always boasted about it, but she is really not sure how to cure the poison in front of her, so she can't help but feel a little more awe of the Tathagata in her heart. Seeing Avalokitesvara's troubled expression, Wukong said, "Bodhisattva, is this poison very hard to cure?" Guanyin nodded and said: "It's really hard to understand, but you can give it a try."

She first dipped the willow branches with some nectar, and sprinkled it on the river bank, only to see that the miserable green color faded a lot immediately, but after a flash, it returned to its original state.Guanyin shook her head, and opened the jade bottle helplessly. There were only two drops of jade liquid in the bottle, and the fragrance was fragrant.The Bodhisattva dripped these two drops of jade liquid on both sides of the river, and the miserable green color disappeared in an instant. After a while, the green grass by the river came back to life. Wukong praised: "Sure enough, the Bodhisattva's magic power is unparalleled." Avalokitesvara said: "Where is I, it's just one thing descending one thing." Wukong was overjoyed: "With the help of the Bodhisattva, it is no problem to cross the Tongtian River." Avalokitesvara said: "Wukong, although the Tongtian River can pass, there is Qitianling not far in front of it, and the monsters are gathered on the mountain, but it is really difficult." When Wukong heard Guanyin mention it, he also felt worried.Qi Tianling was on the way to learn Buddhist scriptures, if it passed by in a smooth manner, it would definitely be suspicious, but if there was a fight, it was not what he wanted. Avalokitesvara saw that Wukong was worried, and said: "It's too early to worry about it at this time, just do it and watch it. The golden ring on your head is probably made by Taoism. As the saying goes, it is easy to hide a gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. You must always be on guard." That's good." Wukong said: "The Bodhisattva is right. I don't know what is the use of this golden ring, as long as it loses my mind." He was quite surprised when he heard what Guanyin said. How can you guess Taoism?Xiang Liu really wanted to use this ring to capture Zhenwu at that time, and it felt very strange when he was hit by the trick. I'm afraid it has something to do with the good fortune of the god ape, and it was definitely not intentional by others.It's strange that Guanyin doesn't know about the entanglement between Phoenix Xiangliu and Zhenwu. Avalokitesvara said: "I will immediately go to find the Buddha and ask him for a law." Just as Wukong was about to say goodbye to Guanyin, he saw waves rising in the Tongtian River, and a group of aquariums came from the north.Wukong took a closer look and groaned in his heart, isn't this just the sea-covering jiao, why is he back again? Fu Haijiao brought Wansheng back to Beihai, Wansheng was overjoyed when he saw his third brother Ao En, and stayed in Beihai.It's just that Fu Haijiao got Qi Tianling's order to camp in Tongtian River, how could he disobey the order? The former dragon god came to Tongtianhe to expel him, but fortunately Fenghuang and Xiangliu made a mess of it, which saved him from a battle that he would lose.However, after the battle between Qilin Xiangliu and others, the river was highly poisonous, and the Beihai people could not live in Hanoi, so they had to retreat to Beihai in desperation. Fu Haijiao ordered the Shui tribe to guard the mouth of the Tongtian River at all times, once the remaining poison was gone, he immediately led his troops back. Coincidentally, just as Wukong and Guanyin were meeting by the river, Fu Haijiao froze for a moment, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. Guanyin saw Fu Haijiao, looked at Wukong and said, "Isn't this your brother from back then?" Wukong said: "Differences of mind and way, the old feelings have faded over the years." Avalokitesvara nodded and said: "The demon clan is unrestrained and messed up the rules of the earth. Don't ruin the golden body and righteous fruit because of thinking about the past." Fu Haijiao finally figured out the middle joint, stepped forward and shouted: "Hey! What are you two doing here at Qi Tianling?" Wukong shouted: "Bah! Bold monster, how big are you Qi Tianling, why don't you go to the heaven and talk like that?" Fu Haijiao said: "I, Qi Tianling, are the most reasonable. As far as Tongtian River in the east and Tianzhu Kingdom in the west, they are all the boundaries of my home, how about it?" Avalokitesvara couldn't help laughing: "Going west to Tianzhu? What a big tone!" Wukong said in a low voice: "This evil dragon is very powerful in water warfare. It is said that one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers were defeated by him alone in Beihai." Avalokitesvara nodded: "I have heard about this too, but since I have caught up, I will help you out of this difficulty." Guanyin said to Fu Haijiao: "It is rumored that you have the ability to cover the sea, how about I make a bet with you?" Fu Haijiao asked suspiciously: "Bet? What are you betting with me?" Avalokitesvara said: "I have a sea of ​​water in this clean bottle. If you can pick it up, I will admit that Tongtian River is the boundary of Qitianling. If you can't, then make way for people who learn Buddhist scriptures to cross the river safely." Wukong listened to Guanyin's bet, yo, there is a mystery in the words!
