The Way of Rebirth

Liu Boqin's home lives in a flat place on the mountain. If you look closely, the scenery around this residence is quite beautiful and clean. There are towering ancient trees in the independent courtyard. The road leading to Liu Boqin's home is winding with vines, and a breeze blows on your face.

When you arrive, you will be greeted by the tantalizing fragrance of wild grass and flowers. Behind the villa is a bamboo forest, and the green patch sways with the wind, which is really exciting.

Looking at Liu Boqin's home, it looks rough and bold. It is a villa, composed of many houses. Facing it is a door made of grass and rattan, surrounded by a fence to form a small courtyard, protecting the house.

In the middle, when you walk into the courtyard, you can see small dogs and poultry, which gives it a warm feeling. Looking at the residence in front of him, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but admire the rough man Liu Boqin next to him. After all, Tang Sanzang had been walking in the mountains for a long time, and he never

I could see traces of people coming and going, but I didn't expect that Liu Boqin would dare to settle down in this fierce mountain and wild ridge, and that the accommodation in this villa could be so rigorously arranged.

"Please come to the elders." Liu Boqin didn't know what Tang Sanzang was thinking. The rough character of a mountain man made him throw the tiger carcass on his shoulder to the ground, and casually wiped the blood on his hands and invited Tang Sanzang to come.

Walking into the house, he called a few boys to wash the tiger carcass and then led Tang Sanzang forward, "Tomorrow is my father's memorial day. My mother is a little anxious to perform a ritual for my father. She doesn't want to meet the elders, so I guess

My mother will definitely be happy to see it.”

"The Taibao is really a temperamental man. Although the poor monk is not good at Buddhism, he can still perform a ritual. I will help him tomorrow." After hearing Liu Boqin's words, Tang Sanzang was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his hands and saluted.

There were two women standing in front of them, one was quite old and looked decrepit, the other was supporting an old woman and was quite young.

"Elder, these are my mother and my mountain wife." Liu Boqin said to Tang Sanzang with a smile. Then he took off his clothes and said respectfully to the old woman, "Mom, my child is hunting in the mountains. I don't want to be surrounded by big insects."

The elder Xi Xing brought him home and wanted to perform a ritual ceremony for my father's memorial day tomorrow. Mother, please come and sit down. My son will go and pour some tea to treat the elder."

"It turns out that the elder is a guest from afar. It's very good. It's very good." The old woman nodded and smiled when she heard this. Then she took Tang Sanzang's hand and asked, "I don't think there are tigers, wolves and ferocious beasts in this mountain. I think the elder must have been frightened. Come here."

Come on, take a seat first, I'll ask the boys to cook some food to suppress the elder's panic." After saying that, he pulled Tang Sanzang to the seat.

"The old man doesn't need to be so polite. If the Taibao hadn't rescued him in time, the young monk would have died long ago. Now that I see the old man, I should kneel down and thank him." Tang Sanzang hurriedly put his hands together and saluted. After saying this, he was about to kneel down, but Liu Boqin stopped him.

My wife stopped me.

Liu Boqin happened to come over with tea. When he saw Tang Sanzang hurriedly put the tea on the table and supported Tang Sanzang, he said: "Elder, why do you do this? I am from the mountains, and I am from the same hometown as the elder. How can I see death?"

No help?" After helping Tang Sanzang sit down, Liu Boqin smiled and said to the old woman, "Don't worry, mother, I have already ordered the boys to prepare the meal, which will be on the table soon."

"That's very good." The old woman said with a smile after hearing this, and then asked Tang Sanzang, "I wonder where the elder came from, and where are you planning to go?"

"Old man, this poor monk came from Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty in the east. He wants to go to Leiyin Temple in Lingshan Mountain in the west to obtain the true scriptures to help people in the world and preach some good ways." After hearing the old woman's words, Tang Sanzang clapped his hands and saluted and replied, feeling a little depressed.

He said, "It's a pity that many of my followers were devoured by monsters in the mountains not long ago. Fortunately, the poor monk escaped with the blessing of Bodhisattva. When he met the Taibao who came here, he was only worried about the barren mountains and mountains, but didn't know what to do.

Is good"….

"Elder, why should you worry? My son grew up in the mountains and is very familiar with the mountains. After tomorrow's rituals are done and the elder has a rest, he will ask my son to escort the elder out of the mountain." The old woman said with a smile after hearing this.

He said with emotion, "I thought that in the past, there were envoys who went to the West to obtain the true scriptures. My family was the remnants of that time and settled in this mountain. But I don't want to see my old friends from my hometown coming to the West again today."

"It turns out that the old man and his family are the descendants of the people who came to the West to seek Buddhism. No wonder they can live in this barren mountain. But it is not destined to be in the past and present lives. Buddhas come and go and return to the same family." Tang Sanzang heard this

As the old woman spoke, her heart was filled with joy, and her joy was beyond words.

In this way, Tang Sanzang and Liu Boqin's family were chatting happily in the house, and time passed by slowly. By the time everyone realized it, it was already midnight, and the boys had cooked the tiger brought back by Liu Boqin and served it.

When the banquet was set, the old woman asked Tang Sanzang to sit down and began to prepare to eat. However, Tang Sanzang just sat there with his hands together and silently recited the Heart Sutra, without moving his bowl or chopsticks at all.

Liu Boqin asked in confusion: "Elder, the meat of this big insect is very strong and strong. My servants are also good at cooking. It tastes very delicious. Why does the elder refuse to eat it? Is it because he is worried and has no appetite?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang clasped his hands and saluted, saying: "To be fair to the eunuch, I have grown up in the temple since the poor monk was born, and he has never eaten meat. Although I am grateful to the eunuch for his kindness today, I refuse to break the precepts."

"What should we do?" Liu Boqin couldn't help but feel a little regretful after hearing Tang Sanzang's words, and said aloud, "Although there are some bamboo shoots and fungus in the mountains and fields, the oil and water of roe deer, tiger and leopard must be used to make meals.

What's more, those two pots and stoves are both greasy. How can we make vegetarian food? Do we have to endure hunger in my house when we grow up?"

"Don't worry, Taibao. It's very hard for a poor monk to practice Buddhism. He often endures hunger to practice. Even if he doesn't eat for three to five days, there will be no serious problems. He never dares to break his fast and have evil thoughts." Tang Sanzang said with a smile and clasped his hands.

"Don't be nervous, kid. Let me and my daughter-in-law cook a vegetarian meal for the elders to eat." Just when Liu Boqin was about to speak, the old woman beside him suddenly said with a smile. Then he got up and, with the support of his daughter-in-law, came down to Tang Sanzang and said with a smile.

, "Elder, please take a moment while my daughter-in-law and I cook some food." After saying that, he staggered out of the house.

After a while, the boys came up with dishes and placed them in front of Tang Sanzang. They were some vegetarian dishes such as bamboo shoots, fungus, and tofu. After a while, the old woman came in and said to Tang Sanzang with a smile: "Elder

Don’t worry, these are some extremely clean food and tea that I and my son-in-law have personally prepared, but they are edible and will not break the elder’s fast.”

Tang Sanzang hurriedly stood up and bowed to thank him, then sat down and recited a few mantras silently, and then started eating with the bowls and chopsticks. After the meal, Liu Boqin went to pack some incense and other items, while Tang Sanzang talked to the old woman in the house.

, how long did it take for them to go to sleep? After one night, Liu Boqin's family prepared a vegetarian meal to entertain Tang Sanzang in the early morning of the next day, and then began to worship Liu Boqin's old father.

After one day passed, Liu Boqin was ordered by his mother to escort Tang Sanzang away from Shuangcha Ridge. The two walked on the ridge for a long time, and finally came to a high mountain. Looking at the mountain in front of them, it looked like a human hand.

Towering into the clouds, it is also quite dangerous.

Liu Boqin and Tang Sanzang walked to the foot of the ridge. Liu Boqin stopped and said: "Elder, the mountain here is called Liangjie Mountain. It is the mountain range that separates our country from the Tang Dynasty and Tatar. I am quite familiar with this side of the ridge, but that side

Even if the beasts on the mountain are not surrendered by me, I can only escort you here."

"I have Mrs. Lao to protect me, but the mountains of these two realms look more dangerous than Shuangcha Ridge. I don't know what the beasts are like in the mountains, but how can a poor monk survive it safely?" After Tang Sanzang clapped his hands and thanked Liu Boqin, he looked at the people in front of him.

Liangjieshan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly...

"It doesn't matter, the elder is a person who chants the Buddha's name after all. There is no need for me to wait for the hunters. It would be extremely dangerous for the elder to cross the Two Realms Mountains. Since I sent the elder here, I don't bother to send him another way. It's just the two realms mountains.

I rarely come here, and the danger is difficult to explain, so it is better for the elders to be careful." Liu Boqin heard Tang Sanzang's words and thought of the rituals Tang Sanzang performed for his father on the day of his sacrifice, so that his old father's wronged soul could be freed, and he felt that he would send Tang Sanzang to him again.

One journey.

"How can this be a waste of time?" Tang Sanzang waved his hands hurriedly when he heard this. "Although the poor monk is a person who chants the Buddha's name, he is still alone after all. Unlike the Taibao, he has his family waiting for him. The Taibao of the two realms rarely moves around. Those who want to come to the mountain

Wild beasts are not afraid of the Taibao. If the Taibao walks with a poor monk and encounters danger, it is not the fault of the poor monk. The Taibao should go back. Perhaps the poor monk in these two realms can also get the protection of the Bodhisattva and get through it safely."

"How can this be done?" Liu Boqin couldn't help but shook his head and refused after hearing this, "If my mother knew that I allowed the elder to go to the Two Realms Mountains alone, I'm afraid she would blame me, not to mention that I am a hunter, and all the beasts and birds in the world are like this.

, I think I can also subdue the beasts in the mountains of the two realms."

When the two were exchanging excuses, they didn't expect that a voice suddenly came from the foot of the mountain: "Isn't it my master who is coming? Is it my master who is coming?" The sudden voice in the barren mountains frightened Liu Boqin and Tang Sanzang.

Trembling all over.

After the two of them listened for a long time, they realized that the words were a bit strange, and they just called for the master to come. After listening for a long time, Liu Boqin's face changed and he said in panic: "This voice must be coming from the old ape in the crevices of the rocks at the foot of the mountain."

Seeing Tang Sanzang's puzzled expression, Liu Boqin explained aloud, "The elders don't know. The mountains in these two realms used to be called Wuxing Mountain and Wuzhi Mountain. I heard from our ancestors that during the period when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, heaven descended on this mountain to suppress it.

A magical monkey is here, but you don’t expect that this magical monkey is not dead yet?”

"Let's go down and have a look. This divine monkey is calling Master. I think he must be careless." Tang Sanzang said aloud after hearing the words. After that, he led the white horse and walked down the mountain. Liu Boqin behind him saw that he couldn't stop him, so he had to follow.

Going up, the two came to the foot of Liangjie Mountain, and saw an ape in the crevices of the rocks at the foot of the mountain. Only its head and hands were exposed, and its right hand was still stretched out and waving wildly.

Tang Sanzang took a closer look and saw that the face of this monkey was very scary: a face with a sharp mouth and shrinking cheeks, a thunderous look, a pair of sparkling eyes, and golden light flashing on the brows.

Moss had grown up, and there was a lot of green grass at the corners of his mouth, but it could not stop him from speaking eloquently. However, his whole face was covered with dust and mud, which made him look very embarrassed. His hands had been stretched out from the cracks in the rocks for scratching for many years, so his fingers looked thick, his palms were thick, and there was a lot of dirt.

"Master is here, Master is here!" When the monkey saw Tang Sanzang approaching, he kept waving his hands and shouted loudly. His joy was beyond words, but he didn't want to think that because of Sun Wukong's powerful power, the sound came out and shook the mountain peaks on his body, shaking his head.

Shao Shachen made Sun Wukong miserable, but he still couldn't control the joy in his heart. He looked at the hunter approaching him and shouted, "Don't block me, I have something to ask the man behind you."

"What do you have to say? The poor monk seems to have never met you. Could it be that you called the wrong person?" After hearing the monkey's words, Tang Sanzang boldly stepped forward, bent down and swept away the weeds and moss on both sides of the monkey.

Go, "Looking at you, you are a psychic monkey. How come you are pressed here by this mountain? Could it be that you have committed a heinous crime? How can you be punished like this?"

"Master, is he a monk who came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and wanted to go to Leiyin Temple in Lingshan Mountain in the west to obtain the true scriptures?" Sun Wukong did not answer Tang Sanzang's words. Instead, he looked at Tang Sanzang with burning eyes, his eyes sparkling with joy.

of light.

"The poor monk came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty. How did you know?" Tang Sanzang couldn't help but feel moved when he heard the words of the divine monkey in front of him. He couldn't help but look at the divine monkey in front of him a few more times. However, Tang Sanzang grew up in the temple since he was born.

, I have never seen such a smart monkey. Not only can he speak human language, but he also has some knowledge of the past. I immediately felt that this monkey might be a very powerful character...

"Master is really from the Eastern Tang Dynasty? That's great. Release me quickly. I'm willing to protect Master from going to the West to obtain the true scriptures." Sun Wukong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the words of the white monk in front of him, and his voice seemed extra energetic.

, after all, he has been trapped for more than five hundred years, and seeing that freedom is not far away from him, how can Sun Wukong not be very happy?

"You monkey, God sent down a mountain to pin you down here as punishment. It seems that you have committed a heinous crime, so you may be a gangster who does all kinds of evil. How can a poor monk not know your true identity?"

Let you be released easily, and if you are released and harm the common people, you don't know the sin of the poor monk?" Tang Sanzang said aloud after hearing Sun Wukong's words.

"Master doesn't know something. My disciple's name is Sun Wukong. He is the Monkey King who caused great trouble in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago. Because he committed the crime of great injustice, he was suppressed here by the Tathagata Buddha of Western Buddhism for five hundred years. Before

Master Guanyin went to the Eastern Tang Dynasty to look for Buddhist scriptures. He came here to persuade his disciple. The disciple already knew his crime and was willing to worship in Buddhism and escort the master to the west to collect scriptures. Therefore, the Bodhisattva ordered me to wait here for the master.

"Arrival" Sun Wukong immediately opened his mouth to explain after hearing this, "What's more, it's a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from Lingshan Mountain in the west. There are countless monsters and ghosts on the way. The disciple will escort the master there to ensure a safe journey."

"It turns out that Guanyin Bodhisattva enlightened you to wait here." Tang Sanzang couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Sun Wukong's words. Then he clasped his hands and saluted to the west, "Disciple Tang Sanzang, thank you Bodhisattva for your great kindness." After saluting, he turned around and faced the West.

Sun Wukong said, "Since the Bodhisattva enlightened you, I guess you are not the most evil person, but I don't know how the poor monk can save you?"

Liu Boqin, who was beside the "elder", suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Tang Sanzang aside, "Elder, I am not too talkative. This monkey can be pinned under the mountain for five hundred years and not die. He is either a god with great magical powers or a monster with great supernatural powers.

There are many dangers in this. If the elder accidentally releases the monster, I am afraid that we will both die without a burial place."

"How dare you, a reckless man, look down on me like this?" Sun Wukong, unlike others, has always had a very sensitive ear. He had already heard Liu Boqin's words, and immediately became furious and cursed with his eyes wide open.

"Elder, look, this monster became angry because I saw the truth." Seeing Sun Wukong like this, Liu Boqin felt even more panicked. He hurriedly grabbed Tang Sanzang's sleeves and shook his head and said, "Elder, you still have to think about your own life.

The future is extremely dangerous, and there are even more monsters and ghosts, so how can we trust others so easily?"

"You guys, don't fool my master. If I hadn't escorted my master all the way here, Old Sun would have shouted out that the ferocious beast here would have bitten you to pieces." Sun Wukong's face changed after hearing Orion's words, and he shouted loudly

, then looked at Tang Sanzang, "Master, if you don't believe what I, Old Sun, say, you can ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to ask and you will know the truth."

"I think you are such a smart monkey, and you won't come here to fool me under the pretense of being a Bodhisattva." Hearing this, Tang Sanzang smiled and patted Liu Boqin, then turned to Sun Wukong and said, "I have been watching you for a long time, but when I see you

Your eyes are clear, and there is no bloody aura of monsters on your body. I guess you are not a bloodthirsty and murderous person. The poor monk knows that this must be the enlightenment of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Since you have worshiped me as your teacher, I want to save you, but

Don’t know what to do?”

"Master wants to rescue me, but he has to remove the mountain on my body, and then I can be free again." Sun Wukong was overjoyed when he heard Tang Sanzang's words, and said to Tang Sanzang with a smile, seeing that Tang Sanzang looked confused.

, Sun Wukong couldn't help but remember that his words were a bit scary, and then explained, "Master is worried that he doesn't have an ax in his hand? You know, the Wuzhi Mountain is so high that it reaches into the sky, and it takes many years and months to chisel day and night? Master only needs to go up the mountain to see one place.

Tathagata Buddha's Dharma sticker, just take it off."

"This is easy, this is easy." Tang Sanzang's face turned red when he heard Sun Wukong's words. He clasped his hands and said with a smile. Then with the help of Liu Boqin, he climbed up Wuzhi Mountain. After walking for a long time, he saw a golden light shining on the mountain. When he looked closely, he saw that there was a golden light shining on the mountain.

Seeing that there was a letter with the words: "Om Mani Padme Hum", Tang Sanzang saw the golden light. He knelt down and bowed respectfully, then closed his eyes and recited silently: "Disciple Tang Sanzang,

Pursuing the Bodhisattva's will, I went to the West to obtain the true scriptures. I met this magical monkey on the way and asked for help. If the disciple and he are disciples, I can uncover the golden characters, rescue the monkey, and attain Lingshan together. If there is no distinction between disciples, it is this generation.

He is a vicious and stubborn monster who wants to trick his disciples into earning disciples. He cannot escape punishment, so this post cannot be revealed." After saying this, he bowed down...
