The Way of Rebirth

After listening to Tang Sanzang's words, the old man looked at Sun Wukong who was pulling the horse, and his mind calmed down. Then he turned around, put the candle in front, pulled Tang Sanzang and walked into the house. Tang Sanzang saw this.

So he followed the old man and entered the house. Tang Sanzang looked around the inner room and saw that there were only some tables and chairs and other equipment in the room. Although it was simple music, it still felt like home.

"Old man, who is knocking on the door?" At this moment, another voice came. Tang Sanzang looked carefully and saw an old woman walking in with a cane. He hurriedly stepped forward to support the old woman and led her to sit down next to the table and chair.

The old woman glanced at Tang Sanzang and said, "So he is a fat and white monk? He dares to walk in the wilderness at night like this, and there have been no accidents so far. He is really blessed by the Bodhisattva."

"Listen to what the old man said, is there something dangerous in this mountain?" Tang Sanzang couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard the old woman's words, and then he hurriedly asked, "The poor monk has been walking in the mountains for most of the morning, and it seems that he has never seen any jackals.

Wild beasts like tigers and leopards.”

"The elders don't know. Although there are tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts on this mountain, they are not the most dangerous to us." The old man on the side came over with tea and handed it to Tang Sanzang. Tang Sanzang hurriedly clasped his hands and saluted.

"There are thieves and bandits on this mountain, and they often come out to rob food. This was originally a village, but it was scared away by these bandits. But we, the old couple, are old because we don't have much time anyway, so why should we be afraid?

As for the thieves and bandits, it’s a pity that I have a child who went hunting in the mountains and never came back for many years. I don’t know whether he was killed by the bandits or eaten by tigers and wolves..." The old man continued talking as he walked, and at the end of his words

, a pair of eyes that were close to cloudy could not help but leave two lines of cloudy tears.

"Alas, thieves are more dangerous than jackals." Tang Sanzang couldn't help but sigh when he heard the old man's words. He clasped his hands and closed his eyes and recited a few incantations, and then asked, "Are there no government offices nearby? I want to come to this borderland.

The Tang Dynasty should also have troops stationed here."

"There is an army stationed ten miles away from here, and all my former village neighbors have gone there. It's a pity that in this barren mountain, even if the army comes to suppress the bandits, they can't eradicate them, so they have to let it go.

He's gone," the old man replied after hearing the words, sitting on a chair nearby, "Why hasn't the elder's Thunder Lord disciple come in yet? Could it be that he was killed by the bandits?"

"Huh?" After hearing the old man's words, Tang Sanzang realized that his disciple hadn't come in yet. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. He hurriedly got up and walked to the door to look outside. When he saw the darkness outside, he couldn't help but slap his forehead.

He sighed, "Could it be that my good disciple was really killed by a thief? How can this be so good? The poor monk just rescued you and we haven't gone to the Western Lingshan to pay homage to the Buddha, but you left before me..."

When Tang Sanzang was covering his face and crying, a furry arm suddenly patted Tang Sanzang, and then he heard: "Master, why are you crying here? It's windy outside, go back to the house quickly, Lao Sun is still looking for you

Let’s feed some weeds to the horses so that they can start their journey as soon as possible tomorrow morning.” Tang Sanzang looked up hurriedly after hearing the words, but it was not his disciple Sun Wukong standing in front of him.

In the wild mountains, it’s even scarier at night, so it’s better to go inside and warm up.”

"Master, please don't be so pretentious." Sun Wukong laughed when he saw this, "I, the old Sun, often walk at night, so why should I be afraid of others? I just heard the conversation between Master and the old man. There seemed to be bandits running around in the mountains, so I took good care of the horses first. Let's talk to the master again." After saying that, Sun Wukong walked into the darkness again. After listening to Sun Wukong's words, Tang Sanzang remembered that the disciple in front of him could be pressed under the mountain for five hundred years without dying. How could those ordinary people be able to kill him? , his mind calmed down at that moment. When he turned around, he saw the old man comforting the old woman and couldn't help but feel strange. After a long time, he remembered that his disciple seemed a bit scary. Seeing this, Tang Sanzang could only helplessly shake his head...

However, Sun Wukong was walking outside the house when he suddenly heard a rustling sound in his ears. He immediately looked towards a deep forest outside the courtyard. A light flashed in his eyes. Sun Wukong smiled slightly and cast a spell to close the courtyard door tightly. Then he turned around and picked up some weeds and went to the house where the horses were kept. After entering the house and placing the weeds in front of the horses, Sun Wukong walked out and looked at the deep forest in the distance with a strange light shining in his eyes. Looking again, Sun Wukong had already disappeared.

"Xiao Wu, are you sure you read it correctly? There are distinguished guests staying in this shabby house?" Suddenly a rough voice came from the deep forest. It was deliberately suppressed to be very small, but it was also a bit dark, and then there was a voice in the grass. There was a moment of shaking, and a dark figure appeared. There was a cold light shining in the hand, but it was emitted by the moonlight shining on the dark figure's hand.

"Boss, don't worry. Although I can't guarantee whether the person staying here has money, looking at what he's wearing, he looks gorgeous. The jewels and agate on his cassock are shining brightly. Boss, as long as we snatch him away Come, take it and sell it, you will definitely get a good price." Another voice came.

"What, cassock?" The figure from before couldn't help but trembled when he heard the words behind it, and then shouted angrily, "You bastard, do you want us to rob the monk? Who in this world doesn't know that the monk is The poorest one, I’m afraid you are dazzled. How could there be such a stupid monk walking in the wild mountains in gorgeous clothes?”

"Boss, please calm down. Boss, please calm down. It's not that I'm blind, but the cassock that this monk is wearing is indeed a treasure." The voice behind him sounded very timid and his words were hurried and flustered. "Boss, if you don't believe me, you can ask me. The brothers who are watching together with my younger brother.”

"Brother, don't be angry. Xiao Wu is right. It is indeed a rare treasure. The cassock is embroidered with jeweled agate. It can shine even under the dark tree avenue. It must be a treasure. Ah, besides, we are originally thieves, what can't we do, Master Da Jie?" Another voice came.

"Since Old 2 has said so, I will do it tonight. If I find out that you have deceived me, don't blame me for being ruthless." The figure said coldly, and then pointed the black shadow in his hand forward, " Brothers, rush"

Then I saw many black figures appearing in the deep forest and running towards the small village. Unfortunately, everyone fell to the ground before they left the deep forest. Everyone was holding their thighs and wailing. The figure behind looked at this situation. He frowned and cursed: "You losers, why can't you even walk?" After saying that, he wanted to walk forward, but unexpectedly, weeds formed a rope under his feet. The feet were tied up, and then as the figure said "Ah", a black shadow flashed into the air.

"Really, isn't it just because you stumbled that you can't endure the hardship like this?" Another person said loudly, "Get up quickly, get up quickly and keep rushing over." After that, he stood up first and put the hand in his hand.

He waved the knife and continued running.

"The second master is really amazing." Everyone behind them sighed when they saw this, and stood up one after another, and continued to follow the person in front of them to run into the small village. Unfortunately, they didn't notice that a group of figures were running in the deep forest, and they would appear from time to time.

Some people didn't know what was going on, and there were flickering black shadows along the way. The second master, who ran out first after leaving the deep forest, raised his arms and shouted to everyone to stop, and then walked slowly towards the small village with his waist down.

There was a "pop", and before anyone could take a closer look, they saw that the second master had already gone somewhere. Seeing this, the young men behind hurriedly ran forward, looking around for the second master's figure, but unexpectedly they didn't care.

No matter how hard everyone searched, they couldn't find the second master's body...

"Is it possible that we have hit a ghost?" A frightened voice came out from the crowd, "It seems that we are missing a lot of people." Then we saw a group of figures standing in front of the camp gate looking very panicked, each looking left and right, their bodies

Unmoving trembling.

"A group of idiots" Sun Wukong, who was hiding in the soil, couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and then he cast a spell, and saw that the ground on the top began to move. Everyone was in panic and did not notice it. They were sober.

When they came over, they saw that they were once again in the deep forest where they had been invisible before. Everyone couldn't help shouting and fled in all directions. Unexpectedly, the branches, grass and vines in the deep forest came to everyone as if they were alive, knocking everyone over.

The earth was bound up.

Sun Wukong appeared and looked at the people hanging in front of him and smiled slightly. Then he disappeared and appeared in front of the small village. After walking in, he closed the door and went to talk to Tang Sanzang.

The night was speechless. In the early morning of the next day, Sun Wukong took out the white horse and continued westward with Tang Sanzang. As for the thieves who were tied up by Sun Wukong, the sergeant who patrolled the mountain soon discovered that the pair of old men and women had also found the thieves.

Not to mention the long-lost son who was forcibly dragged in, but Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong walked for a few days and came to a dangerous area. Upon closer inspection, there were steep cliffs, rugged roads, and steep mountains.

At this moment, several sounds suddenly came, and then several people jumped out and stopped Tang Sanzang and others with swords. When Sun Wukong saw the people coming, he put down his salute and stepped forward to protect Tang Sanzang behind him.

, "Master, it seems that we have encountered the thieves that the old man said." There were six people in front of them, each with a fierce look, baring their teeth and claws, waving the weapons in their hands, surrounding the two of them.

"You monk, bring your cassock and we will let you go. If you don't obey, don't blame us for having no eyesight in our swords." A burly man stepped forward, pointed the big sword in his hand at Tang Sanzang and said, "Grandma, last night

I originally planned to rob, but I didn’t want to be a ghost anymore. I was tied up by a piece of grass and vines. I finally escaped from the garrison. I’m in a bad mood. Monk, don’t make me angry.”

"What is the use of the poor monk's cassock, your Majesty?" Tang Sanzang's face changed when he heard the bandit's words. Then when he saw the big knife in the bandit's hand raised and pointed at him, Tang Sanzang hurriedly said, "Since your Majesty wants it,

The poor monk's cassock, I think he also has the intention to escape into Buddhism and meditate on the Buddha. How can the poor monk stop the king's intention to worship the Buddha?" After saying this, Tang Sanzang took off his cassock.

"You confused monk, why do I want the tattered cassock on your body? Bring me your cassock inlaid with pearls and agate." Seeing Tang Sanzang's actions, the leader of the thieves could not help but look at the big knife in his hand towards the ground, kicking up bursts of dust.

, he kept yelling and scolding, "I am very happy when I am the king of the mountain. Why do you want to be a monk? Don't fool me. If you dare to do this again, don't blame the sword in my hand for drinking your blood."

"Huh?" Tang Sanzang couldn't help but flick his right hand after hearing the words of the leader of the thief. Then he raised his head and asked, "The poor monk is a monk. Where did he get this jeweled cassock? Your Majesty, please don't tease me. The poor monk is a monk."

How can a wandering monk bring jewelry with him? Could it be that the king has misjudged this?"

"You bald guy, don't try to deceive me." A guy with a sly eyebrow came over with a big knife, "I looked carefully that day, you were wearing a jeweled cassock, it must have been part of your salute, I don't want you to

This thief monk actually dares to call himself a Buddhist, and you have forgotten the rule of monks not to gossip."

"Xiao Wu, don't be impulsive." Hearing this, the thief leader said calmly, then he put the big knife on his shoulder and pointed at Tang Sanzang with his left hand, "Monk, I have a very impulsive temper. If you don't want to bring me the jeweled cassock,

, don’t blame me for killing you and taking away the treasure. Originally, because you were a wandering monk, I decided to learn from the sages and say that God has good virtues and let you go, but I didn’t want you to be so disrespectful.

"Know and lift"….

"Your Majesty, this jeweled cassock is not given to you by a poor monk, but it is a cassock given to a poor monk by Guanshiyin Bodhisattva in the West. Without the Bodhisattva's words, how would the poor monk dare to give it to others easily?" Tang Sanzang heard the words of the thief.

I couldn't help but feel shocked, and immediately shouted out.

"What kind of nonsense do you think Bodhisattvas are not Bodhisattvas?" The leader of the thieves said impatiently after hearing this, "So you really have a jeweled cassock. Since you have it, quickly bring it to me, and then do whatever you need to do.

"

"Master, these thieves are so rude, even I, the old grandson, can't stand it anymore." Sun Wukong listened for a long time, and finally couldn't help but take out the Ruyi Golden Cudgel from his right ear, "Master, please hold on for a moment.

After I, Old Sun, have killed them all, I will continue on my way." After that, Sun Wukong waved the Ruyi Golden Cudgel to hit everyone. Tang Sanzang couldn't help but change his face after hearing Sun Wukong's words, and he hurriedly opened his mouth and said: "Disciple, please don't do this.

Forbidden to kill, I, the Buddha, am merciful and cannot take other people’s lives easily.”

Unfortunately, a moment later, he saw a group of thieves surrounding him collapsed on the ground. It looked like their bodies were covered in blood and flesh, their brains exploded, and they were already dead. Tang Sanzang couldn't accept that everyone died in front of him for a while.

Immediately, his face turned pale, and he felt dizzy, and then his vision went black, and his body seemed to fly into the clouds.

After beating these thieves to death, Sun Wukong was about to claim credit from Tang Sanzang, but unexpectedly, Tang Sanzang fell from his horse with a pale face. Sun Wukong hurriedly ran to the side of the horse to support Tang Sanzang, and then placed Tang Sanzang on a huge rock.

He pinched the person, put cold compresses on his forehead, and used all kinds of methods. Finally, Tang Sanzang woke up from a trance.

"You are such an obstacle." Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wu in front of him and shouted, regardless of the pain in his head. "Although they are bandits who block the road and rob, they are also under the jurisdiction of the government. How can we just force them to retreat?"

Killing them? You are killing them like this, but you are vicious and stubborn, and disaster will happen sooner or later. As the saying goes, God is good at reviving people, and I, the Buddhist sect, are also merciful. How can you act recklessly like this? "

"Master, don't blame me. If I don't beat them to death, Master, you will die. There are countless gangsters and bandits in the West like you. If I don't beat them to death, how can Master go there safely?"

Are you asking for the true scripture from Leiyin Temple in the West?" After hearing Tang Sanzang's words, Sun Wukong couldn't help but retort, "Is it possible that Master allowed them to kill you? Let them take away your cassock and exchange it for jewelry and silver to live?"

"The poor monk is a monk. He would rather die than violate the prohibition of killing. The cassock is just an external possession. If he wants to take it away, he will take it. The poor monk is originally wearing a broken cassock. He meditates on the Buddha's teachings. How can he regard external possessions as more important than his life?

, even if you are beaten to death, it is just a life. You see, you are killing a group of people. You are committing crimes like this. How can you get Western compassion Buddhism and cultivate a compassionate heart?" Tang Sanzang frowned at the moment.

He frowned and cursed.

"Master, don't be angry. Since the disciple does not agree with the master, he can just leave. This will save the master from being bored." Sun Wukong has always been impatient. He cannot hear complaints or bear annoyance. Hearing Tang Sanzang's curses, he always

How could Sun Wukong, who had a high temperament, endure it? If it weren't for some friendship in his heart, Sun Wukong would have killed Tang Sanzang with a stick, and immediately flew to the East China Sea on a somersault auspicious cloud.

"This monkey is so impatient." When Tang Sanzang saw Sun Wukong leaving on the clouds, he couldn't help but get angry and cursed again. Then he got up and walked to the horse, carrying the salute on the horse's back. "The poor monk was traveling west alone, so he

No matter how much you are, there won't be any change." After saying this, Tang Sanzang took the horse and walked directly into the cliff and dangerous mountain. The mountainous area of ​​​​the cliff was rugged and very bumpy and difficult to walk.

Tang Sanzang pulled the white horse and continued westward. After a while, he suddenly heard the sound of a stream. Tang Sanzang was really thirsty, so he pulled the horse and followed the sound of the water. After a while, he finally came to the water. When he looked closely, he saw a stream of water.

Unfortunately, the mountain stream was too low because the terrain was too low, and a waterfall had formed. Although the scenery was very beautiful, Tang Sanzang felt dizzy, so he pulled his horse aside.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sudden roar in the stream, and then a white light was seen rushing towards Tang Sanzang...
