Chapter 4 Eighty-One Difficulties (3)

How did I become a tiger? Tang Seng asked himself again and again. Surrounded by solid iron rods, he was imprisoned in an iron cage. It happened so suddenly that King Baoxiang had treated him as a guest just a moment ago, but because the yellow-robed monster did a trick, he turned into a tiger. The yellow robe turned into a handsome scholar, and the monster turned upside down. Tang Seng was in tears, he didn't know who to blame for this matter? Tasting the taste of being a tiger, his heart trembled, not having freedom is the most distressing.Life is precious, but love is more expensive. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away.This poem is very Buddhist.

Tang Seng suddenly realized: When I was in human body, I always sympathized with those beasts, which can be regarded as having a human face and a beast heart; now that I have changed into a beast body, I always think that it is too worthless for people to be hurt, which is also called the beast face and heart heart. I, Tang Seng, was originally a person with no strength to restrain a chicken. It is the same when I am imprisoned in the cage or outside the cage. I was able to go to the Western Paradise to learn Buddhist scriptures, and I relied on my disciples to support my progress. I am a person who uses my words but does not use my hands.

From human to tiger, I finally made another reincarnation. This catastrophe was the most embarrassing for me. Tang Monk burst into tears, and couldn't help shouting: "Wukong, I miss you so much!" The dispute in Baoxiang Kingdom was finally settled. A lot of trouble is coming. Taishang Laojun was about to take Kuixing away, but was stopped by Monkey King. Sun Wukong said sharply: "The twenty-eight mansions are under the eyes of the Jade Emperor. How did Kuixing escape?" Taishang Laojun said embarrassingly: "Of course, there are some loopholes in management, which are hard to avoid." But Kui Xing shouted: "Don't ask any more, it involves my privacy!" Bajie gloated and said: "Haha, I thought only old pigs have privacy. I didn't expect that the people around the Jade Emperor also had someone." Privacy!" Tang Seng was a little exhausted, so he stopped Bajie and said, "Don't interrupt Bajie, just listen to him!" The yellow-robed monster said emotionally: "I have a relationship with the maid in front of the Jade Emperor's palace." Fornication, the two agreed to go down to earth, that Xiangnv would come to the world first, and then I sneaked to Boyue Cave!" Tang Seng taught: "Since you have arrived at Boyue Cave, you should go to Xiangnv, why did you rob Baoxiang?" The princess of the country?" Monk Sha interjected: "The typical use of emotion is not specific."

Sun Wukong teased: "The princess of Baoxiang Kingdom has become a third party!" The yellow-robed monster jumped up suddenly: "You savage monkey, dare to tarnish the pure love between me and the princess?" Bajie monster shouted: "Hey, monsters like you also have pure love? It's far worse than the old pig!" The yellow-robed monster roared: "To be honest, the princess is the Jade Emperor Yuqian Xiangnv!" Tang Seng panicked: "Ah , the princess is also a witch, she is really..." Tang Seng couldn't say it, he thought of the hot kiss from the princess.

Sun Wukong clapped his palms and laughed: "It's really interesting that such an infatuated man and woman appeared in front of the Jade Emperor's Palace." Bajie became sad: "Brother Kui, the life of your husband and wife is really romantic, which makes people very envious! It's a pity that the old pig There is no such blessing with Chang'e!" Taishang Laojun was also moved, he wiped his eyes: "The time has come, it's time to break up, everyone take care of yourself!" But Bai Huaxie rushed forward and grabbed the yellow robe monster. "Husband, you don't have to go to the sky, let's go back to the Moon Cave!" Tang Seng reminded from the side: "What's so good about the Moon Cave, the light is half-bright and half-dark." We can only choose the Wave Moon Cave to be a long-term couple!" Monk Sha was a little at a loss: "Isn't that the way to go, where in the world is there no shelter?" Princess Baihua said sadly: "Huangpao Lang returned to the sky, He became a fairy, and when I returned to Baoxiang Kingdom, I became a human being, and only when I returned to Boyue Cave, we are both demons, can we be a husband and wife!" Wukong nodded: "Well said, I am moved!"

Taishang Laojun shyly pushed Baihua: "Go back!" Baihua drifted back to Baoxiang Kingdom in shame. Taishang Laojun took Kuixing with him and prepared to ascend to heaven. Wukong accused: "Old man, why do you always break up beautiful marriages?" Taishang Laojun said boldly: "This is our function!" Tang Seng said to the three apprentices: "Let's go!" Bajie asked: "Should we go and say goodbye to the king, maybe he will treat us to a big meal!" Tang Seng shook his head: "Resolutely not, I am afraid that his son-in-law will turn me into a tiger again." Tang Seng is unforgettable I vividly remember that unbearable scene.

Tang Seng woke up in a daze, looked around and saw two little demons beside him, so he boldly asked: "Where is this place?" The little demon answered honestly: "Pingdingshan." Tang Seng asked again: "What's your king's name?" The little demon said: "We have two great kings, one is called the King of Golden Horn, and the other is called the King of Silver Horn." Tang Seng praised and said: "A good name, with gold and silver, must be a wealthy family." The little demon asked in surprise: "Monk, why are you not afraid at all?" Tang Seng asked puzzledly: "What's so scary about me? You can't eat me!" The little demon smiled: "Monk, you are so cute and silly. Eat you." Tang Seng said more and more calmly: "I don't believe it, they can't eat me." The little demon pointed there: "Look, they are carrying firewood, and they are going to steam you to eat." Tang Seng is very Confidently said: "I bet, no one can eat me." The little demon was puzzled by his self-confidence: "Do you think there will be a miracle?" Tang Seng explained: "It's not a miracle, it's experience. Historical experience tells me that Whenever I am in the most dangerous time, I can always turn danger into good luck." The little demon reminded Tang Seng: "Our two kings are very powerful, and your apprentices may not be able to fight." Tang Seng disdain Said: "I still have a backstage, my senior sister, and my master..." The little demon was about to ask Tang Seng who his senior sister and master were, when a demon called him over there.

Tang Seng was so proud: This time I finally scared the little demon, maybe he will let me go! The two great kings came over and looked Tang Seng up, down, left, and right. The King of Golden Horn smiled and asked: "Tang Seng, you said that we can't eat you. Is it true?" Seeing his amiable attitude, Tang Seng nodded and said, "Monks don't lie!" Little demon: "Take this monk to the pool, wash it and put it in the steamer!" Tang Seng was thrown into a large pool, and several little demons bathed him, which was very painful. Tang Seng complained: "Your hands and feet are too heavy, and you don't know massage skills at all!" King Yinjiao laughed and said: "You think it's a sauna bath, and you need to pay attention to comfort?"

It was a big steamer, and Tang Seng was sitting in it, the lid was closed, and it was pitch black. Tang Seng was a little unsteady, he knew that the monster was really moving, as long as there was a firewood under it, he would be steamed. Tang Seng had no choice but to close his eyes tightly, put his palms together and recite scriptures in order to drive away evil thoughts. He heard the sound of the fire burning and forgot to chant sutras for a moment. The King of Golden Horn said outside: "Brother, this stupid monk may be crying!" The King of Silver Horn said, "He has no ability except his flesh and nutrition." Tang Seng heard it very clearly. Answer: "The evaluation of the two kings is very correct!" King Jinjiao asked in surprise: "Monk, how high is the temperature inside?"

Tang Seng replied truthfully: "About 20 degrees Celsius!" King Yinjiao didn't believe it: "Why, it's the same temperature as the outside, is this pot too thick!" King Yinjiao ordered the little demon: "Add more firewood and make the fire hotter!" Tang Seng's heart was as calm as still water again, and he went back to Zen meditation and chanting scriptures. The temperature in the steamer did not increase, and Tang Seng believed that his judgment was correct. After half an hour, King Yinjiao asked again: "Monk, has the temperature inside increased?" Tang Seng replied gently: "It's the same as before."

King Golden Horn said: "Fart, you must be cheating us brothers!" Tang Seng said: "If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself in the steamer!" King Silver Horn was impatient: "It's really not cooked, we Just eat it raw!" Tang Seng was taken aback, and hurriedly comforted him and said, "It's well steamed, your majesty must be patient." My face fell silent. Tang Seng didn't speak anymore, he was afraid that he would end up being eaten raw, that would be too miserable. After a few hours, the steamer was opened. Monkey King stepped forward to greet him and said: "Master, are you in good health? Don't you have a fever?" Tang Seng smiled: "I know that I will turn danger into good luck, and I have realized a truth." Zhu Bajie did not expect Tang Seng to be in the steamer Still so unrestrained, he asked: "What about the truth?" Tang Seng hummed softly in a baritone voice: "A good man will live a safe life!" The crowd surrounded Tang Seng, and there was no sign of the monster in the cave. Tang Seng asked: "What about the two great kings?" Monkey King pointed to the clean bottle and gourd in his hand and said: "It's inside, master, don't worry, I haven't hurt their lives yet." Tang Seng also laughed: "I've figured it out now, and I don't care about those things anymore!" Monkey King was overjoyed: "So, Master agrees with me to kill monsters?" Tang Seng nodded and said: "I have realized that those who deserve death will die naturally, and those who do not deserve death must be rescued!" Bajie praised: "Master is in a good state!" Tang Seng said very politely: "Thank you for your hard work. When the time comes, I will also get materials up and let the Jade Emperor commend you as an encouragement!" Monkey King just played with the gourd and clean bottle in his hand, and said repeatedly: "No, no , as long as the master promulgates a rule, it will be fine for everyone to seize the spoils." Zhu Bajie was a little jealous: "Everything that is seized must be returned to the public." Tang Seng said seriously: "Wukong, money is something outside of you. I'm afraid you will cause trouble!" While Tang Seng and his disciples were talking, an auspicious cloud suddenly arrived, and the Taishang Laojun arrived. Knowing that something was wrong, Monkey King hurriedly put the two treasures into his arms. Taishang Laojun called out: "Wukong, don't hide, I have already seen it, give me back my treasure!" Wukong said lazily: "Don't talk nonsense, old man, what treasure do I owe you?" : "What is in your arms?" Wukong had no choice but to say: "That's something I picked up, and even the officials who picked it up can't take it back!" Tang Seng couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to say to Wukong: "Wukong, don't be ridiculous, you must know how to respect the old and love the young. "Wukong still refused to hand over the treasure: "Old man, do you know how much harm your two treasures will cause to society if they fall into the hands of big bad guys? It almost killed me!" Holy anger, the whole story is as follows: Those two demon kings are my boys guarding the golden furnace and the silver furnace, and the Jingping bottle and the gourd are my treasures, which were borrowed by Guanyin of the South China Sea and placed on Pingdingshan on purpose. Monk Sha didn't understand, so he asked anxiously, "Why did the Bodhisattva put it on Pingdingshan?" Taishang Laojun told the truth: "It's difficult to set up, there are eighty-one difficulties in total, and there must be one difficulty!" Wukong yelled: "This Guanyin will never get married for the rest of his life!" Bajie also chimed in: "Even if she gets married, she will have a baby without an asshole." My senior sister, my senior sister is the most good person in the world!" Monkey King had no choice but to hand over two treasures to Laojun: "Thinking of our old friendship, you can still call me Dasheng. I'll give it back to you." Taishang Laojun looked at it. Looking at Laojun's back, Tang Seng whispered to several apprentices: "Can you hear the smell? They are all working together to plot against us!" Tang Seng was in a particularly good spirit today. On an open field, he told the disciples to stop. Monk Sha put down the burden, panted and said: "Master is wise, this is a good place to rest your breath." Tang Seng pointed to the boundary post in front and said: "We will arrive at the Wuji country soon. Before entering the Wuji country, we have a meeting. "Sun Wukong muttered: "Meetings are not fun, what kind of bird meeting are you having?" Since the time when the Queen Mother held the Peach Blossom Meeting, Monkey King has been particularly disgusted with meetings. He always talks about levels in meetings, which makes people feel depressed. Zhu Bajie also opposed the meeting: "Master, I get a headache when I mention the meeting, and I am a little scared." It was because Bajie accidentally touched Chang'e in one meeting that he fell into the ups and downs later. Tang Seng said: "This meeting must be held. Don't be afraid of meetings. I pay more attention to democracy in meetings and speak freely." There was silence on the open ground, and this meeting could not be resisted. Tang Seng said: "When I heard the name of the black-bone chicken country, I had an ominous premonition that there might be monsters waiting for us there. We have to be mentally prepared." Zhu Bajie said: "The meat of black-bone chicken is tender and fragrant. The yellow-footed chicken has much higher nutritional value." Monk Sha also became interested: "The black-bone chicken is not fed artificial feed, it is a natural green food!" Sun Wukong said: "The best food on the black-bone chicken is the first to count the feet and eat it. It smells delicious and delicious." Tang Seng was a little annoyed when he saw some disciples say something that had nothing to do with the theme of the conference. He slapped his hands and said, "Don't get too far away, let's get to the point. How do we deal with monsters when we arrive in Wuji Country?" Sun Wukong bowed his head and remained silent. Bajie said: "When the time comes, I'll listen to Eldest Brother." Monk Sha said: "I listen to the second brother." Sun Wukong said: "I listen to Master." Tang Seng was furious: "Who should I listen to?" The atmosphere of the meeting was deadlocked.I don't know how long this meeting will take. Tang Seng sighed: "Oh, black-bone chicken, it's bad luck to hear the name!" Zhu Bajie cheered up: "Although the color of black-bone chicken is not good, the meat is delicious, and the soup is also delicious." Monk Sha swallowed: " The black-bone chicken is more delicious when served cold." Wukong said, "I like black-bone chicken head the most, and the black-bone chicken brains are especially delicious." Tang Seng was very angry: "No one speaks when talking about business, but when it comes to eating, people are very interested. This meeting will not be held." Wukong put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, this kind of meeting will never be held." Beside a dry well, the four masters and apprentices stood still. Tang Seng said: "The body of the king of Wuji Kingdom is at the bottom of the well. Who will go down and bring it up?" The three apprentices stood still and did not answer. Carrying a dead body is not a good job. Who would want to do it? Tang Seng showed his majesty: "Whoever volunteers to go down, I praise him!" Tang Seng stared at the three apprentices, but there was still no movement. Tang Seng was angry: "You don't even want praise?" Sun Wukong sneered and said, "How much is a catty worth of praise?" Zhu Bajie said: "If you give me a family leave to go back to Gaolaozhuang, I will go down the well!" Tang Seng was furious: "Bajie, if your heart is not dead, I will punish you to go down the well to carry the dead body." Monk Sha gloated: "Second senior brother , you hit the muzzle of the gun this time." Sun Wukong threateningly said: "You have said something against your will, and you have not committed crimes and meritorious deeds. From now on, you will never have the chance to return to Gao Laozhuang." Zhu Bajie rolled up his sleeves and shouted in his mouth : "Unlucky, why can't this king think about it, he has to jump into the well to seek death?" Zhu Bajie went down the well, and the three masters and apprentices stayed up there. Tang Seng's face was very ugly, and he turned his head to one side. Wukong wanted to make Master happy, so he said: "Master Mo Tan, in fact, Ba Jie really wanted to go down the well, and Master gave him a chance." Monk Sha was puzzled: "Really?" Wukong said: "Of course it's true, he may get benefits if he goes down!" Tang Seng was heartbroken when he heard it, and turned around and asked: "What's the benefit? Pohou is talking nonsense again." Wukong said: "Tuer is not talking nonsense , the king must have jewels on his body, Bajie can grab one at random, and it will be enough for half a year's pocket money!" Monk Sha suddenly realized: "It sounds a bit like it, no wonder the second brother didn't refuse too much!" Tang Seng sighed and said: "Don't wrong Bajie, he is very honest and kind." Wukong said, "If Master doesn't believe me, I can make a bet with you." Tang Seng waved his hand: "Monks don't gamble!" After a while, Zhu Bajie came up from the bottom of the well carrying a dead king. Tang Seng immediately praised him: "Bajie, you are really good, I call on Wukong and Drifting to learn from you." Bajie said happily, "Thank you, Master, for your praise!" Tang Seng said again: "However, Bajie, I still have to ask Wukong to search your body." Bajie's face was ashen: "Master, what do you mean by doubting me?" Tang Seng explained: "This is a routine matter, you are alone Take action, after the inspection, everyone can rest assured." Bajie continued to protest, blushing and said: "Master, the suspect should not be used, and the employer should not be suspicious!" Tang Seng said: "Special circumstances, special treatment!" Bajie stretched his limbs angrily: "Go ahead, I only got one bead anyway." Wukong asked, "Where is it hidden?" Bajie bluntly said: "In the left ear." Wukong took out a gleaming red orb from Bajie's ear, and flashed it to Tang Seng, "Good thing!" Tang Seng sighed, "Oh, Bajie, as a monk, why are you still a money addict?" Bajie said worriedly: "I'm young and strong now, and I don't have to worry about three meals with Master, but what will I do when I get old?" Tang Seng taught: "You have followed me through this journey of learning Buddhist scriptures, and you have done a great job. , the Buddha must at least consider a retirement level for you, and you will have a salary until you die." Wukong held on to it: "Master, what do you always plan to do with Bajie?" Bajie glared at Wukong: "Brother Monkey, You are so cruel, you always want to put me to death!" Wukong smiled: "I want to save you, lest you make similar mistakes in the future!" Tang Seng asked Bajie: "Bajie, tell yourself, how should I deal with it? " Bajie cried and said: "Master, just like you did to the big brother last time, don't let me be your apprentice for the time being." Tang Seng said: "Is this treatment too severe? Wukong killed creatures that time , and you..." Bajie quickly said: "It's not heavy, it's not heavy, the old pig is willing." Tang Seng remained silent. Wukong shook his head and said, "No, master, don't be fooled by him, he wants to return to Gao Laozhuang to be his son-in-law!" Once Wukong pointed it out, Monk Sha also understood: "Master can't promise him, there is one less person to serve you, we But I'm exhausted!" Tang Seng sneered: "Oh, I understand, you want to ask for family leave, it's a good idea!" Bajie was at a loss, so he had to say: "Let Master handle it!" Tang Seng didn't think about it. Then he said the solution: "The dirty and heavy work from now on will be done by you alone!" Bajie cried with a "wow": "It's too cruel!" Both Wukong and Drifting laughed. The king woke up leisurely and revealed his true feelings: "The current king of Wuji Kingdom is a fake, I am the real king!" Tang Seng asked sympathetically, "How long has it been?" The king said: "It has been three years. He is a Taoist priest who can call wind and rain." Monk Sha said disdainfully: "There is no high Taoism, it's just a trick!" Bajie asked eagerly: " So, that Taoist also occupied your wife and queen?" The king nodded: "That is inevitable!" Bajie yelled: "You are so bold, you dare to cuckold the king, I must fight this injustice." Wukong persuaded from the side: "Bajie calm down, and listen to the king." Bajie is still yelling: " Pohou, you've never been married, so of course you don't understand what the cuckold means to a married man?" The king immediately rolled his eyes when he heard Bajie's words. Tang Seng had to stop Bajie: "Bajie, you can't speak too much!" Everyone dared not speak anymore, for fear that the king would die of strong stimulation and never wake up again. While wiping the king's chest, Tang Seng comforted the king: "Don't worry, the king. I'll go find that Taoist priest and take back the throne for you." Monk Sha opened his eyes wide and asked: "Listen to what Master means, is it because you want to fight in person?" ?" Tang Seng nodded solemnly: "Exactly." Wukong exclaimed: "No, how can I let Master take such a risk?" Monk Sha also disagreed: "Master, if something happens to you, who will I rely on to achieve the right result?" Bajie said it directly : "Master, you are my rice cooker, without you, where can I eat?" Wukong hastily stopped Bajie: "Idiot, if you don't want to say something unlucky, just let the master shine once!" Bajie became impatient: "Pohou, just now you opposed Master's risk-taking, but now you support Master's going back and forth, what is your intention?" Tang Seng waved his hand: "Don't make noise, you're annoying!" Wukong and Bajie winked and stopped arguing. Seeing that the disciples were silent, Tang Seng explained: "You don't have to worry, I won't die. I summed up the experience since I started on the road: I was the one who laughed last!" Wukong nodded: "Master, don't worry, you can rest assured. There are heavenly soldiers and gods who will help you secretly!" A group of people flocked to the Wuji Kingdom. Tang Seng walked through the palace in a hurry, naming and calling the king to see the king. The king met Tang Seng. Tang Seng said to the king in a negotiating tone, "Now the real king is waiting outside, so you can return the throne to him. After three years of being a king, you should be satisfied!" Tang Seng wanted to solve the problem peacefully. The fake king asked: "If I don't return the throne to him, what will you do to me?" Tang Seng whispered: "We have to solve it by force." The fake king sneered: "Did you win me?" Tang Seng said: "You will lose, your ability is very small." The fake king was angry: "Who said I have little ability?" Tang Seng said: "My apprentice Monk Sha said it." The fake king was even more angry: "Who is Monk Sha, dare to despise me like this?" Tang Seng said: "Give me face and return the throne to the real king!" The fake king said firmly: "No, you have to follow the throne I did it!" Tang Seng was a little scared, and he realized at this moment that using real swords and guns is definitely not a child's play. Wukong has already turned into a bee, stuck to Tang Seng's ear, and whispered: "Master, compete with him for internal strength." Tang Seng was overjoyed, and said to the fake king: "I will compete with you for internal strength. If you lose, you will return the throne!" "The false king glanced at Tang Seng: "You want to compete with me too? Well, I promise you!" Tang Seng and the false king sat down opposite each other, with their palms pressed against each other. Wukong hides behind Tang Seng, using his internal strength. The false king was suddenly attacked and fell to the ground on his back. Bajie and Monk Sha rushed forward, held down the fake king, and shouted in unison: "Master has won! Master has won!" Monkey King showed his original shape, raised his stick, and hit it down: "Master has won!" The fake king Revealing its original body: a green-haired lion. Just as Wukong was about to end the lion's life, Guanyin of the South China Sea arrived. Avalokitesvara said: "Wukong stop, I have something to say!" Wukong sarcastically said: "Bodhisattva, I have expected that you will show affection." Avalokitesvara joked: "No wonder people say that monkeys have good understanding!" Wukong retorted and said: "No, because all the monsters are released from the western world." The prince cried and ran to the palace, asking Guanyin to ask for justice: "Bodhisattva, your heart is so vicious, and you let the monsters come to be my father. You put a green hat on my father and ruined my mother's chastity, do you still have a little compassion?" Guanyin helped the prince up, and comforted him, saying: "Prince, don't get me wrong, this lion has passed through a gelding, so it won't mess up." Sexual." Bajie didn't believe it, stretched out his hand, and grabbed a handful from the crotch of the lion. It was empty, without the thing, and said happily, "It's really a gelding lion!" Drifting scratched his face: " No shame!" Tang Seng was also a little sorry: "Senior sister, you have gone too far. You did not cover your insteps, and you made a false alarm!" Guanyin just smiled and did not speak. Monk Sha said: "Master, I am so happy that you defeated the monster!" Tang Seng said: "Unfortunately, you only won a gelding lion. The victory is not martial!" Tang Seng inevitably felt a little regretful.
