155,—the sixteenth cannon fodder—(1/3)
Yang Jian took the three-headed dragon back to Guanjiangkou. It was already dawn. In the yard, the real person Jade Cauldron was walking around, and the roaring dog was sitting on the steps, supporting his chin with his hand, as if he was about to fall asleep.
As if, when he saw Yang Jian coming back, he ran over quickly.
Yang Jian threw the three-headed dragon over, and Roaring Sky Dog took it and laughed slyly, which was not at all in line with the simple and honest feeling he usually gave people.
"Disciple, you are finally back!"
The roaring dog ran away, and Master Yuding came over, but he still pulled Yang Jian aside carefully in case anyone heard him.
"Master, has something happened?" Ever since Yang Chan became pregnant, Master Yuding has stayed in the Yang Mansion, saying that he wanted to study the water of the Zimu River. He had sneaked into the country of the daughter before and saw it.
The whole process of women in the Daughter's Kingdom, from drinking water to giving birth to a daughter, he wanted to see if it was the same in countries other than the Daughter's Kingdom.
Moreover, Master Yuding was still asleep in the room when Yang Jian left last night. Why are you so anxious now?
Master Yuding still held his cattail leaf fan, looked at Yang Jian, and said tentatively, "Do you know that Sun Wukong is my disciple?"
"Nezha has already told his disciples." He did not expect that the master would accept such a stubborn monkey, "but the heaven knows that Sun Wukong's skills were taught by the master?"
"It doesn't matter whether the Heavenly Court knows about it now. Even if they know, they won't do anything to me." Sun Wukong is now following Jin Chanzi to the West to obtain scriptures. He is already considered a member of the Buddhist sect. He is far away from causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
Five hundred years have passed, long gone.
What really bothers Master Yuding now is that the monkey got into trouble again. Although he didn't get into many troubles before, it's just that his master has never been exposed after all. Sun Wukong can't find him, so he is willing to pretend that he is nothing.
I know, but this time Sun Wukong came to him, and he really felt uncomfortable.
"Master is saying that Sun Wukong uprooted the ginseng fruit tree of Immortal Zhenyuan?" Yang Jian couldn't help but frowned. Immortal Zhenyuan's ginseng fruit blooms in three thousand years, bears fruit in three thousand years, and matures in three thousand years. One sniff can produce 360 more fruits.
At the age of ten, if you eat one pill, you can live an extra 47,000 years. Now, Sun Wukong has uprooted him.
I have to say, it's still a little funny.
"Oh my disciple, please stop laughing. Immortal Zhenyuan only gave Sun Wukong three days. The monkey found me last night. What do you think I should do?" Master Yuding was already in a panic.
.
"Does Sun Wukong know that Master, you are the real Master Yuding?"
"I don't know. I told him that I was Subhuti. At that time, he didn't have sharp eyes and couldn't see me coming. And before I left, I cut off all contact with him."
"In this case, Master, what else do you have to worry about?" Since he doesn't know anything, no matter what things Sun Wukong has committed, he will naturally not be able to find the real person Yuding.
Master Yuding looked sideways and said, "Do you think Master is afraid that Sun Wukong's affairs will implicate me? Yang Jian, you must be looking down on Master too much."
"That's not what I meant." Yang Jian sighed, "Master, think about it, since Sun Wukong has nothing to do with you anymore, and you are now Zhenren Yuding and not Subhuti, you should stop caring about Sun Wukong.
Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect."
"Why did Sun Wukong uproot the ginseng fruit tree? This is the cause. We don't even know the reason, so we should not interfere. Since the ginseng fruit tree he uprooted is the fruit, then the fruit was naturally tasted by the person who planted the cause."
Master Yuding looked at Yang Jian and seemed to have explained everything clearly in just two sentences, but he seemed to have said nothing.
Yes, it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who asked him to teach Sun Wukong his skills. This is because now that Sun Wukong is in trouble, he naturally shouldn't taste the fruit alone. There is also Guanyin Bodhisattva here.
Thinking of this, Master Yuding quickly flew to the place where he taught Sun Wukong the skills. Hundreds of years later, the place was still the same as it was back then.
Sun Wukong was leaning on a big rock, looking very tired.
"Sun Wukong!" The voice belonging to Subhuti came. Sun Wukong immediately became energetic and looked around. However, after searching for a long time, he could not find the direction from which the voice came. "Master, please save this disciple."
, give your disciple a magical recipe for healing trees."
"I don't have any immortal prescriptions here, but you can go to Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea and have a look. She will have overseas immortal prescriptions for healing trees."
Sun Wukong's eyes widened and he thought about what Master Yuding meant, "Disciple, thank you Master for informing me. Thank you Master. Thank you Master."
With that said, Sun Wukong rolled away with a somersault cloud. Only then did the real Jade Cauldron appear. He couldn't help but feel pitiful and distressed for Sun Wukong's appearance just now. This golden cicada was so useless. As a master, Sun Wukong had to look for ways to do it.
Save him, and as far as he knows, it has been his apprentice who has been killing demons and protecting him along the way.
Master Yuding is very smart. He cannot say that he has not participated in the game between the Jade Emperor and Tathagata, but so far, he is still watching from the sidelines.
The Jade Emperor once had a benevolent heart, but as time went by, he gained more and more power, and was gradually thrown away by him. However, Western Buddhism has always said that 'the sea of suffering has no limit, and we will find shore again.'
, took in the current Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk, who were also the former Tianpeng Marshal and Rolling Curtain Heavenly General.
Shows enough kindness.
The purpose of Jin Chanzi's trip was to introduce Buddhist knowledge to the East, so he came to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures that lasted for several years.
Although he is a Taoist, he does not think there is anything bad about Buddhism at all. Compared with the current heaven, he feels that Buddhism is better. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to the request of Guanyin Bodhisattva to teach Sun Wukong five hundred years ago.
no.
The current Tiantiao is like a cancer. If this cancer is not removed, sooner or later Buddhism will completely replace Taoism. As for those Taoists, there are only three results. The first is to follow the Jade Emperor.
, fighting Buddhism to the end, and the other is to submit to Buddhism and work with Buddhist people to govern the world with benevolence. The last option is naturally to choose not to act.
"What's going on? Pindao actually hopes that day will come soon?"
As for which day the Master Yuding was talking about? Only he himself knows.
After Master Yuding left on the clouds, the person who had been hiding behind the clouds showed his face. It turned out to be Sun Wukong, kneeling on the clouds, and kowtowed three times in the direction where Master Yuding left, "Disciple thanks Master for teaching me.
I will certainly live up to Master’s expectations.”
Then a somersault cloud went to Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea.
Yang Jian went to Wuzhuang Temple after Master Yuding left, but never showed up until Sun Wukong and Guanyin Bodhisattva came together. Guanyin Bodhisattva used pure bottle water to revive the ginseng fruit tree before leaving.
"Yang Jian, we meet again."
"Yang Jian has seen Guanyin Bodhisattva." Last time, it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who pointed his fingers to the sky and let Yang Jian know how to find peach honey through the stars.
"I see that you don't look as sad as the last time we met. I guess you feel relieved."
"Yang Jian would also like to thank Guanyin Bodhisattva for his guidance."
"You're welcome, I'm just trying to make a small contribution." The ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties for Jin Chanzi to learn the scriptures were all set. Jin Chanzi was destined to have one difficulty less, but suddenly there were more.
The first difficulty was discovered before Yang Jian was told.
After she told Yang Jian, nothing changed, indicating that Yang Jian did not affect the overall situation. Since it did not affect the overall situation, it did not matter to the Buddhists whether she said it or not. But if she did, it would also have a lot of impact on Yang Jian.
A big helper, saving one life is better than creating a seven-level pagoda, she said it is a good thing.
After Yang Jian returned to Guanjiangkou, he quietly evacuated the Caotou God who had previously asked the Meishan brothers to quietly place them near their daughter's country.
Last time Nezha brought news about the Eighth Princess. Although he was confused as to why the Eighth Princess wanted to help him, with the attitude of rather trusting her than trusting her, he released a hundred grass-headed gods near the Daughter Kingdom.
"Disciple, you are back, how is Sun Wukong?" After Yang Jian came back, Master Yuding asked anxiously.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva has revived the ginseng fruit tree, and Zhen Yuanzi has also sworn brothers with Sun Wukong. He also asked his disciples to knock ten ginseng fruits to entertain their master and disciple."
After hearing that Sun Wukong was safe this time, Master Yuding was relieved, and then asked, "Did the golden cicada also eat?"
"I guess I must have eaten them." Of the ten human fruits, the four of them, master and disciple plus Zhenyuan Immortal, each had exactly two. If Jin Chanzi didn't eat them, wouldn't there be some leftovers?
Master Yuding curled his lips, not liking Jin Chanzi's behavior. He had heard from Sun Wukong that before, Jin Chanzi refused to eat the fruit because he thought it was human-shaped, and was eaten by the two Taoist boys.
After Sun Wukong found out, he also stole three to eat. When he was found out, he admitted that he had stolen three, but the Taoist boy said that there were four missing. At that time, even Jin Chanzi didn't trust Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong was so angry that he did this.
Uprooting ginseng fruit trees.
Regardless of how much responsibility Sun Wukong should bear for this matter, the main reason still lies with Jin Chanzi. If he ate the two ginseng fruits, Sun Wukong did not see the two Taoist boys eating them, and soon there would be nothing more to do.
If you didn’t eat it before, why do you eat it now?
Ginseng fruit is still a ginseng fruit, still in the shape of a little doll. What was the use of holding it before?
At night, a gust of evening wind blew by. Master Yuding, who had been sleeping, turned over and suddenly woke up. He found an extra box beside his pillow. He got up and took it over in confusion. It was an ordinary sandalwood box and said, "Who is this?"
Did you bring it over?"
When he opened it, he saw a human-shaped fruit lying on the cloth in the sandalwood box. "Is this a ginseng fruit?"
Holding the ginseng fruit in his hand, he found a note under the cloth, "Thank you for your teachings, Master. I offer you the ginseng fruit. I hope Master will accept your small consideration."
The handwriting is very ugly. If it were normal, Master Yuding would definitely laugh at who could write such ugly handwriting, but now he is not in that mood.
After a long while, a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The monkey still knows."
Then he ate the ginseng fruit in one mouthful. How could he live up to his disciple's filial piety?
What's more, if the ginseng fruit falls when exposed to gold, withers when exposed to wood, melts when exposed to water, burns when exposed to fire, and enters the soil, even if you don't eat it, it won't be easy to preserve if you keep it. You might as well eat it and put it in your stomach.
It's the safest inside.
Time passed so leisurely. Yang Jian never went to the daughter country again, nor did he let Meishan brother Cao Tou Shen go near the daughter country. He stayed at the mouth of Guanjiang River wholeheartedly, waiting for Yang Chan to give birth. Where were the monsters?
So he took the Meishan brothers to conquer the demons.
Ten months passed quickly, and Yang Chan gave birth as scheduled. After a day of painful torture, she finally gave birth to a baby girl in the early morning of the next day.
They had already made a judgment about the gender of the child before. After all, the daughter country is all women. If a son can be born, it will not be a daughter country.
Yang Chan looked at the small ball next to her, and her heart almost melted. To be honest, when she was laboriously giving birth, she was so painful that she regretted for a moment, regretting that she drank the water from the Zimu River on impulse.
.
But now, she doesn't even have a trace of regret.
A mother's love for her children is always given and never thought of in return. Her mother was willing to sacrifice her own life for their brothers and sisters a thousand years ago, and she can do the same now.
To be continued...
