Chapter 15 awareness (2)

Tang Seng raised his mind and vowed: Before returning to the world, I will meet all those people, demons and saints who have interfered in my sacred life. An old voice responded to him: As you wish. Looking at Tong'er who was fanning the stove, Tang Seng was startled: Isn't this the Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King who live on Pingdingshan? Your two brothers are now honest? King Jin Jie: Tang Seng, we meet again, are you afraid that we will eat you? Tang Seng said: My meat is not so valuable anymore, you can eat it for nothing. King Yinjiao said bitterly: Tang Seng, thanks to you running fast back then, otherwise, I would have swallowed you in my stomach long ago!

Tang Seng said: "The situation of your two brothers is not bad. If the old man Li didn't protect you two, you would have been beaten into meat paste by the monkey grandson. How can you have such a good job now?" King Yinjiao scolded: Bah, that thief old man, he has selfish thoughts, and he didn't want my brothers to guard the stove for him. You think he is really a kind character. The King of Golden Horn comforted: "Second brother, don't mention this matter, old man, you always have to be narrow-minded." Tang Seng said: I just can't figure it out, your two brothers have done a good job here with Laojun, why did you go to Pingdingshan far away to become monsters?

The King of Golden Horn said: We still want to get some wild food there because we are greedy. King Yinjiao said: We are waiting there for you, a monk from the eastern land, but we don't have the good fortune! The King of Golden Horn said: I am ashamed, Tang Seng, our two brothers offended you back then, are you here today to inquire about the crime? Tang Seng shook his head: No, no, I just want to understand your mood at that time. King Yinjiao said: The mood at that time, the mood at that time was too impatient, I wished to drink your blood, eat your flesh, juxtapose your bones, and live forever.

Tang Seng nodded and said, "It's easy to live forever. You only need to steal a few grains of the golden pill of Old Li. Why go to the barren mountains to suffer?" The King of Golden Horn scolded: "When did you, old monk, become cunning and instigate us brothers to make mistakes?" Tang Seng said: This is human nature. Stealing and robbing are the difference between fifty steps and one hundred steps. King Yinjiao smiled: Old monk, you have really turned bad, and you can say such words! Tang Seng said: I am ready to be a mortal, and I will come and see you two before I leave.

The two children were startled and asked: "Old monk, what's the matter with you, have you fallen out of favor with the Tathagata?" Tang Seng said shyly: "I made a mistake." King Yinjiao sneered: "Old monk, just now you laughed at the fact that our two brothers went up the mountain to be demons, you should understand what kind of mood it is now!" King Yinjiao said: We were children and ignorant at the beginning, just greedy for food and drink. I didn't expect that you are an old man, and you can't resist the temptation of the world of mortals! The King of Golden Horn said: "Old monk, I really envy you. If it weren't for the strict control of old man Li, I would like to go down to earth again."

King Yinjiao said: Let's wait for the opportunity, maybe one day, we will meet these two monks again in the world! Being ridiculed by two boys, Tang Seng felt that he was bored, so he recited a few scriptures to stabilize his emotions, but his mind went blank, and he couldn't remember half a sentence. Tang Seng understood: his chance to be a mortal has matured. Tang Seng said to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva: Today, I am here to ask for your forgiveness. Puxian said: "Tang Seng, I was present in those two trials to test whether you had any evil thoughts, and you understand the truth of the matter."

Tang Seng said: Of course I understand the Bodhisattva's painstaking efforts, but the disciple couldn't make it through the second day, uttered some dirty words, and there was no point to check. Puxian said: Don't take this matter to heart, Monk Tang. I accompanied him twice as a stand-in, and I didn't feel anything. Tang Seng couldn't believe it: Bodhisattva really didn't feel anything at that time? Puxian said: I just accompanied Guanyin to investigate, and Guanyin is the executor of the whole plan. Tang Seng: Oh, so it is like this? Puxian said: Actually, the main object of investigation is you alone, and there is no need to investigate the other three people.

Tang Seng was even more confused: Guanyin believed in the three of them so much? Puxian explained: Bajie’s lustful heart has never been wiped out, and Guanyin knows it, so it is this idiot who suffers the most in public! Tang Seng said: Why doesn't Guanyin inspect Monk Sha? Puxian said: People say that knowing an apprentice is better than a teacher, but it is not true. You may not know Monk Sha. He is very stable in doing things, but in fact he is also lustful. He will not act rashly, and it would be useless to examine him. Tang Seng finally understood the general idea, and asked again: Why didn't Guanyin investigate Wukong?

Puxian thought it was funny: that monkey has good eyes, he has already seen that several women were changed by us, but they just don't wear them. Tang Seng sighed: So you are all sensible people, and you only kept me in the dark? Puxian said: That is a secret, the whole process of going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures is carefully planned and arranged, and it is only hidden from you. Tang Seng said: I didn't hide one thing from me, Avalokitesvara is my senior sister! Now it's Puxian's turn to be surprised: Who told you this secret? Tang Seng said: I realized it myself, and I always call Guanyin my senior sister!

Puxian said with a lot of feeling: I thought that the Buddhadharma is really boundless, and there are places beyond my control. Tang Seng grabbed True Immortal Ruyi: Don't rush away, I still have something to ask you. Ruyi glanced at Tang Seng: "Old monk, I have never met you before." Tang Seng said loudly: Why is your memory so bad? I am the Tang Seng who went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures! True Immortal Ruyi looked at Tang Seng and nodded: I remember, you are Tang Seng, but I have no grudges with you, and I didn't catch you back then, so I had no intention of eating Tang Seng's flesh.

Tang Seng said: I was pregnant by drinking the water of the Zimu River by mistake, but I needed the Luotai Spring to have an abortion. Immortal Rujian said: I just remembered, the Falling Taiquan is under my jurisdiction, and I can give it to whoever I want. Tang Seng said: I have no grievances or enmities with the real immortals. Why do you stop my apprentice from taking the Luotai Spring over and over again? True Immortal Ruyi laughed: Haha, I was curious at the time, wishing to see a man get pregnant, if a man can give birth to a child, that would be even more exciting! Tang Seng said: You are also called a true immortal, but you have no mercy at all. Ruyixian said: "Tang Seng, you are lucky that you didn't have a son. Why bother to worry about the old sesame seeds and rotten millet more than ten years ago?" Tang Seng shook his head and said: You don't know how I felt at that time, that was the most shameful thing in my life, if the fetal spring was one step late, I would make a fool of myself! True Immortal Ruyi asked: What do you want to know? Tang Seng said: If I have no enmity with the real immortal, then I will be doomed. Ruyi Zhenxian Shen Ling said: Let me tell you the truth of the matter. I have a grudge against you. I am the younger brother of the Bull Demon King, because you caused me to lose a good nephew, Hong Haier. Tang Seng shook his head and said: True Immortal Ruyi, you have fallen into the blessed land now. The real immortal Zhiyi didn't believe it: Tang Seng, don't make up stories to deceive me. For more than ten years, I haven't even seen my nephew once, and said that I fell into a blessed land. Tang Seng said solemnly: I just met you Daoer. He serves Guanyin and has become a good fortune boy. He can't even remember the name Honghaier. True Immortal Ruyi was surprised: Is there really such a thing? Tang Seng said: Really, he kept saying that he wanted to eat my meat, but now he even forgot the word Tang Seng. Immortal Ruyi was moved: Thank you, Bodhisattva, for saving my nephew! Tang Seng said: "Okay, don't mention the old things. Since you have an enmity with me, it was reasonable not to give the Luotaiquan back then. I won't think about it anymore." True Immortal Ruyi said: No, Tang Seng, I still want to tell you a secret. Tang Seng was surprised: there is a secret in it? True Immortal Ruyi said: I have reached an agreement with your apprentice Sun Wukong: I will give him half a bucket of Luotaiquan, and he will not hurt my life! Tang Seng had never heard Wukong talk about this matter, so he was dubious: Would Wukong make such an agreement with him? True Immortal Ruyi said: You see that I am free now, and you will believe this is true. Tang Seng shook his head: I was also suddenly played by that poker, so I didn't report such an important matter to me. True Immortal Ruyi said: It is not only you who are being tricked, but also Guanyin and Tathagata. Tang Seng sighed: My God, what a good thing Pohou did! Fairy Ruyi said: To tell you the truth, I was the only monster who was secretly let go by Monkey King on the way to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, and I still live on that road. Tang Seng was a little worried: You won't harm people, right? True Immortal Ruyi said: No, I just want to laugh. Tang Seng asked: What are you laughing at? True Immortal Ruyi said: Laughing, the sentence "Skynet is fully restored, sparse but not leaky" is wrong and should be changed. Tang Seng asked: How to change? True Immortal Ruyi said: Change it to: The sky net is well restored, with gaps and omissions. Tang Seng was silent: on that road, how many secrets did he not know? Tang Seng said to Tuo Dali Tianwang: You hold a pagoda in your hand all day long, pretending to be, who are you scaring? Li Tianwang said with some embarrassment: It is mainly used to scare my son Nezha. Tang Seng said: It is useful, it is very tiring to hold a pagoda in the palm of your hand. The king of heaven said that it is a kind of happy tiredness, after all, it is a symbol of honor and authority. Tang Seng asked: Is the relationship between your father and son more tense? The king of heaven was very embarrassed: That is, my third boy, Nezha, went to the sea to cause trouble three days after he was born. Tang Seng said: Young people, he went to the sea to play in the water, but he just wanted to live freely. The king of heaven said with emotion: I only scolded him a few words, and he cut the flesh back to his mother, eviscerated his bones to return his father, and he no longer recognizes me as a father. Tang Seng shook his head and said: There seems to be a generation gap between parents and children. The Heavenly King said: Fortunately, Buddha Tathagata used a compromise method to ask Nezha to recognize Buddha as his father, so he gave me this exquisite and transparent relic Ruyi Gold Pagoda. Tang Seng praised and said: "A good pagoda, a good pagoda, there are Buddhas at every level, bright and bright." The king of heaven boasted that as long as he was in my hands, I would be Nezha's father. Once Ta left his hand, my father would cease to exist. Tang Seng said: If you come here, you will be very good at making friends. Thanks to him, he can figure it out. The king of heaven said: In order not to lose this son, I have to support this tower at all times. Tang Seng sighed: Poor parents all over the world. The king of heaven said: Tang Seng, you haven't become a father yet, and you don't understand fatherly love yet. Tang Seng was silent. He really didn't know the joy and troubles of being a father. The Heavenly King weighed the wishful pagoda in his hand and said: Father's love is particularly heavy and deep, as thick as this pagoda. The king of heaven said: Shen Shen is all hidden in this tower, and no one can see it. Tang Seng Xie Tianwang: Thanks to your advice, I understand how to be a father. The king of heaven is also humble: it's trivial, I just have an unforgettable lesson. Tang Seng said: I wish you a happy family and a happy life. The king of heaven smiled: This sounds good, and it tastes like an advertisement. I cherish it together. Home and everything will prosper. "Do you want to discuss with me how to be a son?" Nezha asked with his face raised. "That's not what I meant," Tang Seng quickly explained, "I'm very interested in your childhood." Nezha is also interested, he likes others to talk about his strengths, and he talks about it himself: "I have only been in the world for three days, and I am very interested in you." Go overturn the river and overwhelm the sea!" Tang Seng asked: Is your aggressive character innate? Nezha shook his head: I don't know, but it's lingering now! Tang Seng said: Is this the inferiority of human beings? Tang Seng said: Is this the inferiority of human beings? Nezha denied: No, it should be the true qualities of a hero! Nezha denies: No, it should be a hero! Tang Seng tentatively asked: I heard that you didn't want to recognize your father at the beginning. Nezha's eyes widened: What's wrong with that? Tang Seng said: The ancients said: There are no parents who are not right, how can you not recognize your father? Nezha retorted, "Tang Seng, you are making a fool of yourself. There are many times when parents are wrong, but they just refuse to admit their mistakes." Tang Seng said: After all, they are parents! Nezha said: So what about parents, if you don't admit your mistakes, you are a coward! Tang Seng said: That is because parents are afraid of losing their children! Nezha sneered: The more afraid of losing, the easier it is to lose! Tang Seng said: Everything parents do is actually for the good of their children! Natuo said: I want to love it, but in fact it hurts it. Tang Seng said: Parents' intentions are good, but the method may not be correct. Nezha sneered again: These words are a bit high-sounding! Tang Seng gave an example: For example, if you skinned the prince of the Dragon King and smoked it, your father was angry to prevent you from getting into a bigger disaster! Nezha said: You are wrong, he has another reason. Tang Seng was surprised: Is there any other reason? Nezha said angrily, "That's because I killed the descendants of the dragon!" Tang Seng was silent for a long time, and then said: In childhood, a person needs the guardianship of his father. Nezha said: Tang Seng, because you didn't have a real childhood, you don't understand children's psychology! Tang Seng asked: What is the psychology of children? Nezha said: What children desire most is equality, and there must be a sense of equality with their parents. Tang Seng said: Children are too young and fragile, and should live under the protection of their parents' big red umbrellas. Nezha said: Just because they are weak, children need to have their own personality and dignity. Tang Seng sighed and said: Oh, Nezha, you are still unable to escape from the past! Nezha said: My heart is deeply wounded, and it cannot be healed in a short time. Tang Seng said: You really have personality! Nezha retorted: Is it called Nezha if you have no personality? Tang Seng said: You became famous very early, and you will always have a sense of honor protecting you. Nezha said: My country was built by myself, and I did not rely on my parents to climb it! Tang Seng said: Your hot wheels have helped you a lot, and your three heads and six arms are also given by your parents. Tang Seng waved his hand: Tang Seng, stop playing tricks here, go back and be your father! Tang Seng said confusedly: "This father is not easy to be, your father is a typical example!" Tang Seng asked the yellow-robed monster: I heard that you still have resentment towards me, is it because I broke up your marriage with the princess? The yellow-robed monster gritted his teeth and said: I hate you to death, my two sons died among your apprentices. Tang Seng was surprised: children are innocent, how can they kill innocent people indiscriminately? The yellow-robed monster said: I only found out about this today, what exactly did this happen? The yellow-robed monster said: It was your second apprentice, Zhu Tou, who did it. Pity my two good sons, their brains were blown out! Tang Seng didn't believe it: How could it be entering the precept? Only Monkey King can do this! The yellow-robed monster wept, that was the most unforgettable hatred in his life. The yellow-robed monster said bitterly: It was done by the pig's head, I saw it with my own eyes. Tang Seng was suspicious: How could Bajie do this, he is usually soft-hearted! The yellow-robed monster said: The pig's head said that all the sons of humans and monsters will die except for his surname pig. Tang Seng couldn't bear it in his heart: this pig head is too stupid, it's not fair to only allow him, a pig demon, to have a son. The yellow-robed monster said: Tang Seng, you finally said something human today. Tang Seng comforted the yellow-robed monster and said: "It's because the child will not die, and the wealth will not be scattered. You must mourn." The yellow-robed monster is still crying: When I think of my two poor sons, I will be so sad that I shed tears. Tang Seng changed the subject: Lao Huang, did you visit the princess afterward? The yellow-robed monster shook his head: She already has a new family, I can no longer be a third party! Tang Seng praised him: You have done a good job. Husband and wife should talk about fate. Since the fate is over, let it go. The yellow-robed monster said: No matter what, I will not blame the princess. She spent a good time with me and gave me comfort in my life. I am forever grateful to her! Tang Seng sighed: I didn't expect monsters to be so passionate! The yellow-robed monster asked back: Do you think monsters have no true feelings? Can you draw the boundary between humans and monsters? Sometimes, monsters are better than humans! Tang Seng said: These words have flavor. The yellow-robed monster said angrily: "The demon is forced, created by the gods. There are no demons in the world. Demons are a mixture of humans and gods!" Tang Seng was shocked: Where did you move this theory from? The yellow-robed monster said: I have summed it up from long-term practice. When Tang Seng walked into Guanghan Palace, a gust of cold came, it was too cold. Chang'e said: "Tang Seng, how did you come to such a place? It's a deserted place!" Tang Seng said: Such a desolate and miserable life, thanks to you, can you survive? Chang'e smiled sadly: "It's helpless, I'm waiting for him to come back!" Tang Seng said: I have to wait for a thousand years and ten thousand years. Who told me to fall in love with someone who doesn't come home? Yutu came over: Tang Seng, do you still recognize me? Tang Seng remembered: We almost became husband and wife! Yutu blushed: To tell you the truth, I still have that emotion! Tang Seng smiled generously: At that time, everyone was confused and lived a life of being manipulated. Chang'e said: Tang Seng, your life is really enviable. You can be both a Buddha and a human being. Tang Seng said: After that long journey, I have today, and I have to thank Tathagata. Yutu said sadly: The most pitiful are small characters like us, who can't accomplish big things, and dare not indulge our emotions and desires. Chang'e said: Yutu, don't complain too much, the great gods always need small characters to set off. Tang Seng comforts Yutu: You can be a small role at ease! Princess Iron Fan put a cup of fragrant tea in front of Tang Seng: Master, please use fragrant tea, this is jasmine tea! Tang Seng said humbly: "Princess, you are really flattering me by calling the old monk like that!" Iron Fan said: In equal parts, I should be called like this. My husband Bull Demon King and your apprentice Sun Wukong are sworn brothers. Of course I should call you Master. Tang Seng said: I am here to thank you for lent the Plantain Fan back then. Princess Iron Fan said: Master, thank you is too heavy, I should thank you! Tang Seng was puzzled: how do you say this? Princess Iron Fan said: Thanks to your guidance, my son followed Guanyin and went on the right path. Tang Seng asked: The princess knows? Princess Iron Fan said: There is no impenetrable wall. I already knew it. My son has become a fruit. Master, tell me, can parents be unhappy? Tang Seng said: As long as you yearn for truth, goodness and beauty, it doesn't have to be a big climate! Princess Iron Fan said: Small people go to low places, people go to high places, this is natural, who doesn't want to climb high branches. Tang Seng said: The truth is plain and plain. Princess Iron Fan said: This is not true. You see, for a weak group like us, any god can come to tease you and make you unable to calm down. Tang Seng nodded: The princess is right, some gods are too poor in quality, they always want to show some prestige in front of people and demons! Princess Iron Fan said: People's life is better, but the hardest thing is the life of us monsters. Tang Seng asked puzzledly: How can people's life be easier? Ask the princess to give me some advice! Princess Iron Fan said: Master doesn't even understand this? In front of the gods, people are numb and only know how to worship and compliment, so the gods take it for granted to enjoy the fireworks in the world. Tang Seng said: I finally know how the policy of ignoring the people was born! Princess Iron Fan said: The group of demons is different, they are more sober than humans, and they know how gods play tricks, so they desperately resist and struggle! Tang Seng said; this kind of struggle must be very painful and tragic, right? Princess Iron Fan nodded: not only painful and tragic, but also pitiful and helpless. Tang Seng shed tears of sympathy: The monster is also a poor person, hated by people and suppressed by God. Princess Iron Fan said: Demons and gods are only half a step away, and poor people are also half a step away, yet they live the worst lives, which is unfair. Tang Seng said: A demon is a god if he advances half a step, and becomes a man if he retreats half a step. Why not take the second best and be a man? Princess Iron Fan said: It is true that being a man is the most reliable, but he has no sense of security. He is being teased by God. Tang Seng said: It is too difficult and tragic for you to take half a step forward, and the hope of becoming a god is too slim! Princess Iron Fan said: As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will fight for it! Tang Seng said: Your enterprising spirit is very valuable, but the price you paid is too expensive! Princess Iron Fan said: Miracles sometimes happen, what if a miracle happens to me? Tang Seng reminded: The probability of miracles is too small, and waiting is very annoying. Princess Iron Fan said: The Jade Emperor himself is a miracle, he is a typical example of being promoted from a man to a god! Tang Seng said: Princess, no matter you are a man, a demon, or a god, you must have a kind heart. Princess Iron Fan said: Master, you don't need to remind me, I have already started doing good deeds. Tang Seng said: "Princess, the place where your plantain fan passed has now become a green lake, and honeydew melons are everywhere. It is all your merit!" Princess Iron Fan is happy: Let me, a monster, do a good deed! Tang Seng said: Princess, you can go to Guanyin to see your son! Princess Iron Fan said: My son is with Guanyin, so I can rest assured. Tang Seng said: There are so many precious things in the world, I ignored them before.
