Chapter 29 You just need
One master and one apprentice continue to move forward.
It's early winter now, and although not much snow has fallen, it's still the cold season.
Li Fu put on thick clothes himself, and he asked the traveler, "Wukong, it's cold out here, do you need to change into thicker clothes?"
Wukong knew that his master was concerned about him, so he responded quickly and said, "Master, I wear clothes to cover my body and cover my shameful parts."
"The function of keeping warm and cold is not very important."
"I have been under the Five Elements Mountains in those two realms for five hundred years, and there are no troubles from the plague-stricken tribe, and I have never even suffered from the cold."
"Besides, wearing heavy clothes will actually affect your movement."
Li Fu felt relieved after hearing this.
However, he still thought that if he went to a town where people gathered, he would still dress the monkey.
It's one thing to wear it or not, but it's another thing not to care.
Monkey hearts are also made of flesh.
Nothing will go wrong after all.
The two of them moved forward again.
Li Fu suddenly felt a little hungry.
After hearing this, the traveler opened his luggage, but where the dry food was originally stored, the dry food was nowhere to be found.
Li Fu then remembered that the package might have become loose when he met the bandits, and the dry food cake on the surface fell out.
Only then did Li Fu remember that he had previously wondered why the horse chewed on his crotch while walking, but it turned out that he didn't have such a problem.
Wukong is also afraid that Master will be hungry.
He stepped on the void inside two or three times before reaching the towering treetops.
He looked around and realized that there was no danger nearby, but the nearest house was not close either.
He jumped down from the top of the tree, stirred up a lot of dust, and said, "Master, please wait here while I prepare some vegetarian food."
The traveler said that he was about to leave.
Li Fu said, "Wait a minute, Wukong, wait a minute, Wukong."
He took out the purple-gold alms bowl and said, "Wukong, if you get the fast food, use it to fill it."
Li Fu took out a few more taels of silver from his arms and said, "And if the family that provides food does not treat the disciples badly, remember to be a little respectful and give them this little silver."
The obedient monkey took the purple gold alms bowl and broken silver and said repeatedly, "I know, I know."
He jumped again, and this time he actually summoned an auspicious cloud, and rode the auspicious cloud far away.
While flying in the air, the traveler was thinking, "Although this master has good intentions, he is too kind."
"He told me to abide by the law."
"But what disciplines should we follow and what laws should we abide by?"
"Five hundred years ago, when I was the king of the Huaguo Mountain, I killed countless human beasts. No one punished me."
Wukong thought about it and thought about how to get there, even if he didn't use magic power and measured it with his legs, he would be there in ten years.
Ten years, for a mortal, may be a long part of life.
However, for the monkey who has been trapped under the mountain for more than 500 years and lived happily for nearly 400 years before.
It's just like a mortal spending ten days and nights.
Thinking Monkey felt relieved after thinking this.
Let’s talk about Li Fu.
Although he knew there was no risk in the dense forest, he was alone at this moment, and he still felt that there was a ghost hiding in the howling cold wind, and there was a monster in the thick forest.
As the saying goes, "If you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of the devil knocking on the door."
It can be said that some fearful things are deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
Li Fuxin thought that it was not an option to just wait here and think blindly. He might as well set off on the road first.
Anyway, Wukong, that monkey, can fly through the clouds and mist, and has piercing eyes. When viewed from the air, he is more efficient than the search helicopter, so it is not difficult to find him.
What's more, if there is no danger, if you continue walking a few steps to the west, it is within your ability, and you don't have to count on others.
Li Fu packed his luggage again and carried it on his horse.
He held a nine-ring tin staff in one hand, as if it were a hiking stick, and held the reins in one hand to lead the horse. He walked slowly westward in silence all the way.
This place is a basin with its own microclimate. There is no wind but there are some snowflakes floating in the sky.
Although Li Fu didn't feel anything about it himself, if others saw it, they would definitely feel that he was miserable and pitiful.
Li Fu moved forward, and he didn't walk for too long. He just found a path in the mountains.
He saw an elderly lady holding a cotton-padded coat with a flowered hat on it.
Li Fu saw her walking towards him, getting closer and closer.
He held the horse, fearing that its movement would scare the old lady.
And he also kept to the right, trying to get out of the relatively flat mountain path, waiting for the old lady to pass.
But when the old mother arrived in front of Li Fu, she did not continue walking. She asked, "Where are you from as an elder? Why are you alone here?"
Li Fu made a namaste and said, "The disciples came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and went to the west to obtain the true scriptures under the imperial decree."
The old woman said, "The land of Buddha in the West is the boundary of Da Leiyin Temple in Tianzhu, and it is a hundred and eight thousand miles away."
"You are so alone, you have no companions, and you still lack some apprentices to serve you. How can you do it?"
When Li Fu heard what the old lady said, he realized that the person in front of him was no ordinary person.
Let me ask, how can an old lady in the mountains know things that are thousands of miles away?
After a brief thought in his mind, he suddenly knew who the person in front of him was.
That's right, it's the one who loves all kinds of role-playing and promotes himself as the Guanyin Bodhisattva who hears voices and saves people in distress.
As for why it is so coincidental, the Bodhisattva in Suffering and Difficulty is standing by, as if ready for help at any time, it is not understandable to outsiders.
Now that Li Fu knows who the other party is, he also knows how to speak.
He replied, "I accepted a disciple a few days ago. However, my disciple is not an ordinary person and needs to be guided slowly."
After hearing this, the old mother said, "I have a cotton robe and a cap inlaid with gold flowers here. These were originally used by my son, but he only served as a monk for three days and unfortunately died short-lived."
"I just went to his temple, cried a lot, said goodbye to his master, and brought these two clothes and hats to remember him."
"Elder, since you have a disciple, I will give you this coat and hat."
Li Fu said, "I accept my mother's kindness. But this is the relic of your closest relative, so it is inconvenient to use it."
"Besides, my disciple is not here and I dare not accept it."
The old lady asked, "Where has he gone?"
Li Fu thought about it and was not sure.
He is not good at distinguishing between east, west, north and south. He only knows that the direction where the sun sets is west. If he stays where he is, he may still remember which way Wukong flew to.
I have traveled three to five miles now, how can I still remember it?
Seeing his appearance, the old lady said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. My home is not far away."
"If he was walking, he might have gone to my house. I have a mantra at home called "The Mantra of Calming the Mind," which can also be called the "Tightening Mantra."
