Chapter 754: Lotus Lantern + Journey to the West - Tang 3 Tibetan 14
After driving away his eldest disciple Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang was depressed, but on the surface he acted as if nothing had happened and continued his journey to the west with his second disciple Zhu Bajie and third disciple Sha Wujing.
The atmosphere on the journey to obtain the scriptures was dull. Without Sun Wukong, who could play and bicker with them, even the usually active Zhu Bajie had become silent. Sha Wujing was originally like a background board and rarely spoke, and now he just focused on carrying his load and hurrying on his way. Tang Sanzang rode his white dragon horse and took the lead, accidentally breaking into the cave of the Yellow Robe Monster.
The yellow-robed monster was sitting at home, and the business came to his door. Tang Sanzang broke in without him having to do anything. It was like a pie in the sky. He immediately ordered the little monsters in the cave to lock Tang Sanzang up.
The wife of the Yellow Robe Monster was originally Bai Huaxiu, the princess of Baoxiang Kingdom. She was abducted to Boyue Cave thirteen years ago. When the Yellow Robe Monster left, she secretly found Tang Sanzang and told him about her identity and experience of being captured. "Master, I will let you go. Please deliver a letter to my father for me after you get out."
How could the kind-hearted Tang Sanzang refuse such a small matter? He immediately clasped his hands together to thank Baihuaxiu for her help and promised: "Don't worry, lady donor, I will definitely deliver the princess' letter!"
After leaving the Yellow Robe Monster's cave, Tang Sanzang and his two disciples went to Baoxiang Kingdom and handed Princess Baihuaxiu's letter to the king. The king burst into tears after reading the letter. In addition, he missed his daughter so much, so he begged Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng to help go up the mountain to subdue the monster and rescue Princess Baihuaxiu.
The two did not want to agree, after all, they were not really ignorant pilgrims, but Tang Sanzang pretended to be good in front of the king and agreed on their behalf. Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing had no choice but to return to the mountain with their weapons, find the Yellow Robe Monster and fight with him. Sha Wujing was captured and Zhu Bajie fled back to the inn.
The Yellow Robe Monster then transformed into a handsome young man and went to visit his father-in-law in the country. He used magic to turn Tang Monk into a tiger and imprisoned him in a cage. In order to save his master, the White Dragon Horse transformed into a palace maid and waited for an opportunity to assassinate the Yellow Robe Monster, but he was unable to defeat him and was injured and dived into the water.
Zhu Bajie was helpless and prepared to go to Huaguo Mountain to invite Sun Wukong back. As soon as he flew over Huaguo Mountain, he bumped into Guanyin who was guarding there. Zhu Bajie's eyes lit up immediately, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva, I finally found you!"
"Bajie, why don't you stay with Tang Sanzang and protect him? Why are you running here?" Guanyin's eyelids twitched violently when she saw Zhu Bajie. She suppressed her inner irritation and asked Zhu Bajie.
"Buddha, please stop talking. My master has been locked in a cage by that yellow-robed monster who turned him into a tiger. Even my third disciple Sha Wujing has been captured. I can't defeat him, so I came here to ask for help!"
"Are you here to find your senior brother?" Guanyin thought about it and felt that this was a good opportunity to find Sun Wukong. Even if Sun Wukong had resentment in his heart, with Zhu Bajie around, he could still show some brotherhood, right?
"The Bi Ma Wen and my master severed their relationship as a disciple, and it was announced to heaven and earth. I thought I had no choice but to beg Bi Ma Wen." Zhu Bajie smiled a little embarrassedly, "But now I have met you, the Bodhisattva, haven't I?"
"Hehe, with you, the Bodhisattva, here, why do I need to ask that Bimawen for help!" Before his reincarnation, he was the Marshal Tianpeng of the Heavenly Palace. He had no friendship with Guanyin Bodhisattva and other Western Buddhist people. He wanted to come and ask Sun Wukong if he had really gotten rid of the cause and effect, and to put on a show and show his performance. But now that he has met Guanyin, he naturally doesn't need to look for Sun Wukong anymore.
If he dragged Sun Wukong into this again, Zhu Bajie would feel sorry for him. He thought that if the Jade Emperor had not chosen to abandon him and General Juanlian in order to repay the cause and effect of Western Buddhism, he would not have changed from a high-ranking Marshal Tianpeng to the monster that he is today, neither human nor pig.
"Alas!" Every time Zhu Bajie thought of this, he felt disheartened. Even if he obtained the Scriptures from the West, what would it matter? He would not get much benefit from this journey to the West. As an abandoned child of the Heavenly Court, even if he converted to Buddhism, he would never be truly accepted by those Buddhists.
Fortunately, Zhu Bajie didn't know Ruyi. If he knew Ruyi, Ruyi would definitely tell him that what he was thinking now was true. Even if he honestly accompanied Tang Sanzang on the journey to obtain the scriptures, in the end he would only be given the position of the Altar Purifier. You must know that the position of the Altar Purifier is lower than that of Bodhisattva and Arhat, and even the job responsibilities are not nice. Compared with the previous position of Marshal Tianpeng, it is completely a demotion.
Guanyin wanted to persuade Zhu Bajie to find Sun Wukong, but Zhu Bajie was unwilling and kept asking Guanyin to go with him to rescue Tang Sanzang. The two argued for a long time, and finally Zhu Bajie compromised. He followed Guanyin to the Flower-Fruit Mountain to find Sun Wukong, but he found out that Sun Wukong was in seclusion after taking the elixir sent by Ruyi.
The two waited and waited in the Water Curtain Cave, but Sun Wukong never came out. In desperation, Guanyin had to follow Zhu Bajie to rescue Tang Sanzang.
As soon as the Yellow Robe Monster saw Guanyin, she revealed his identity. It turned out that the Yellow Robe Monster was one of the twenty-eight constellations, Kuimu Lang, who had descended to the mortal world. Guanyin asked the twenty-seven constellations to recall him to heaven. After Kuimu Lang returned to heaven, Guanyin broke the magic, helped Tang Sanzang restore his original form, and left.
Guanyin's departure does not mean that the matter is over. Kuimulang returned to heaven seemingly without any problems, but he left Princess Baihuaxiu and their two children in the lower world. Originally, this matter was kept secret and not discovered. After the pilgrim team left, it would be fine for Kuimulang to secretly go down to the mortal world and stay with his wife and children.
But the coincidence lies here. Erlang Shen Yang Jian accidentally heard the news that Tang Sanzang had driven away Sun Wukong. Out of concern for Tang Sanzang's safety, Yang Jian specially brought Xiaotian Dog to check on Tang Sanzang's current situation. However, he was a step too late and only saw Princess Baihuaxiu who had returned with her children.
As soon as he saw Princess Baihuaxiu, Xiaotian Dog recognized her identity and said to Yang Jian: "Master, Master, she is the Fairy of Flowers!"
"Fairy of Flowers?" This really touched upon the point that Yang Jian was most concerned about. Why was it okay for Kuimu Lang and Fairy of Flowers to come down to earth together, get married and have children, but he must not get married if he wants to be the God of Justice!
"Haha, this is really ridiculous."
So when the Queen Mother came again to persuade Yang Jian to divorce the third princess and become the god of justice, Yang Jian directly revealed everything he knew about the Seventh Princess coming to the earth and having a child with Dong Yong, as well as about Kuimu Lang and the Fairy of Flowers. The Queen Mother was the leader of all the female fairies, and the Seventh Princess and the Fairy of Flowers were both under her command.
"Queen Mother, please take care of the fairies under your command first, and then ask Yang Jian to abide by the heavenly rules!"
