206、Have you heard of the Eight Gates of Jianghu?(1/2)

When he walked to the gate of Wuguanzhuang, Ding Qi suddenly noticed that the couplets hanging on both sides of the gate had also changed. It was no longer "there are fewer people and fewer things, and the quiet Taoist mind was born", but it became "the five viewpoints are correct and the six senses are easy to receive, and the six impure water is difficult to eliminate." The couplets changed from Taoist formulas to Buddhist verses, and it seems that they were really preparing to entertain monks.

But this detail has not appeared in either Journey to the West or Lingshan. It should be a new change in the false realm and a strange thing in the so-called false realm. Ding Qi was thinking about it in his mind and reached out to knock on the door knocker. Before his hand touched the door knocker, the door opened.

A boy and a little girl walked out of the door and bowed to everyone. The boy looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a very handsome appearance. He was still childish between his eyebrows, but he was wearing a wool mattress with a very cool look. The girl was only seven or eight years old, and she was beautiful and outstanding at a young age, and was also very cute in pink and jade.

Needless to ask, this is the fairy boy Qingfeng and Mingyue who guards Wuguanzhuang. Everyone hurriedly returned the gift. Ding Qi said, "I have seen two fairy boys. We came from the outside world and visited Wuguanzhuang."

Qingfeng: "A foreigner? Zhen Yuanzi is not here, there is no place to rest here. If you want to wait for him, you can stay in the village. Please enter!"

Everyone followed Qingfeng and Mingyue entered Wuguanzhuang. This manor was not small, and the layout was a bit like the manor in Xiaojing Lake. Qingfeng brought them into the Xiqianyuan next to them, where there were five wing rooms. The furnishings should be all the quiet rooms for cultivation, so they could choose them themselves.

Everyone knocked on the door so easily and moved into Wuguanzhuang. Each of them divided a room, but the other party didn't even ask more questions. After they had settled down, Mingyue asked curiously: "Are you also a disciple of the sutra?"

Ding Qi asked back, "I would like to ask the fairy boy, why do you point to the scriptures?"

Mingyue blinked and said, "Know the true meaning of eternality."

Ding Qi nodded and said, "Then we can also be considered as seeking scriptures."

Mingyue pulled Qingfeng's sleeve again: "It's also a visitor. Should I give them two ginseng fruits?"

Everyone thought this little girl was so cute. Did someone eat her as soon as she entered the door? Qingfeng shook her head and said, "It's not time yet!"

This sentence dispelled everyone's thoughts again. Qingfeng Fairy Tong turned around and said, "You have to wait for Zhen Yuanzi to take care of yourself. You can go to the kitchen to make whatever you want."

Ding Qi quickly said, "We have already fasted the valley, so we won't have to worry about the two fairy children."

Qingfeng: "You can walk around and outside this manor. If you are impatient, you can leave at any time. Only the back garden is a forbidden area and you are not allowed to get involved!"

After the two fairy boys left, everyone gathered in Zhu Shanxian's room. After closing the door and sitting down, Shang Ni muttered with dissatisfaction: "That breeze is so cool. Mingyue said she wanted to give us two human fruits to taste, but he stopped her."

Xian Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, the plot is wrong, we are not in the story. Didn't Qingfeng Fairy Child say that? It's not time yet, which means there is still something to eat at that time!"

Zhu Shanxian: "Of course, this is Teacher Ding's false realm. He can have it if he wants. Then we will eat it together."

Ding Qi: "Can you stop mentioning the word "delusion"?"

Tan Hanchuan suddenly said, "Didn't you notice that the Qingfeng Fairy Child looks like a person?"

Everyone also reacted and said in surprise: "I heard from District Mayor Zhu that, I look quite similar... just like he was when he was a child."

At this time, another sound seemed to be heard outside the manor, and Ding Qi said, "Xuanzang and the others should have come, only one step later than us."

Shang Ni jumped up excitedly: "Let's go over and take a look first... This is just joining the crew!"

A group of people walked in the valley. On a maroon-red old horse, there was a monk about thirty years old, with a righteous and peaceful look. A disciple led a horse in front of him, with a sharp-mouthed cheek, a monkey cheek, looking around with his eyes shining brightly, wearing a flower hat, a bright red and golden brocade cloth, and the clothes were stolen when worn on him were like stolen.

A fat man with big ears followed behind the horse, muttering while walking: "When will you go to this road? There is no place to rest. I'm hungry!"

The last one of the team was a young novice monk carrying a burden, and he replied, "From now on the road to the Brahmin Kingdom, there is still a long way."

The monk said immediately: "Don't ask the distance of the road, as long as you see the nature and look back, you will be Lingshan."

The monkey head who was leading the horse in front said, "Along the way, the master spoke, every word he said, and he was not allowed to eat. There is a large manor in front of him, and you can stay for one night, so you can climb the mountains tomorrow."

Ding Qi and others had already arrived outside the manor gate. When they saw the people, Shang Ni said in surprise: "Why is the one who is riding in Tang Seng? It's actually a red horse!"

Ding Qi said angrily: "Don't you tell you to go to the wrong set."

Shang Ni didn't look like a showman, but more like an acting man. She had already run over with a brisk step and said, "Is it Tang Sanzang?"

Xuanzang had already dismounted and walked. When he saw Shang Ni, he quickly put his hands together and said, "My monk's Dharma name is Xuanzang. He is from the Tang Dynasty in Dongtu. He dare not call him Sanzang. The atmosphere here is extraordinary and is a place where extraordinary people live. Are you the owner of the manor?"

Monkey Head muttered in a low voice behind, "There is no trace of evil spirits, and the monks live in seclusion. These people are not evil monsters, they just look a bit strange."

The fat man with big ears also muttered: "Even if he dresses up, he doesn't blame him... Those two little ladies are so handsome, they are thin and have little flesh."

At this time, Zhu Shanxian also came forward and fisted and said, "We are not the owner of the manor, but the guest of the manor. We are fortunate to meet the famous Master Xuanzang and all the masters here. My name is Zhu Shanxian. These are fellow Taoist Ding Qi, fellow Taoist Tan Hanchuan, fellow Taoist Xian Hao, fellow Taoist Shang Ni..."

Zhu Shanxian looks the most like a leader among the people. Well, he was originally a leading cadre, and it was his suggestion to come here. At this moment, he appeared to introduce him to everyone. Xuanzang bowed one by one and introduced several of his disciples. The monkey head holding the horse was the heart monkey Wukong, not the Journey to the West or the Monkey King in Yuan Zaju, but the heart monkey Wukong in "Lingshan".

Xuanzang's second disciple was named Zhu Baliang, the man with a fat head and ears. The third disciple was named Zhishen, and he was also a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty. At this moment, he was the little novice monk carrying the burden.

The heart monkey Wukong and Zhishen were just doing some rituals, but when it came to Zhu Baliang, the man's feet softened and he knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Shanxian. Zhu Shanxian quickly pulled him up and said, "Why did fellow Zhu perform this great gift?"

Zhu Baliang touched his thick fat ears and said, "I don't know what's going on. When my feet were weak, I couldn't help but bow down... Maybe I was tired of walking, so I had to go to the manor to rest and use some vegetarian food."

Xin Yuan Wukong scolded: "You stupid guy, you are tired every day and you know how to eat! Master is seeking scriptures, are you going to get food?"

Zhu Shanxian quickly said, "There is Wuguan Village ahead. The owner of the manor is Zhenyuan Daxian. Zhenyuan Daxian is not here today. There are two fairy boys, Qingfeng and Mingyue, guarding the manor. They are waiting for you."

At this time, Qingfeng and Mingyue had already arrived outside the door. After seeing the gifts of Tang Sanzang, they welcomed them into the manor. Seeing that the owner of the manor was not there, Xuanzang did not disturb him much, so he asked the eldest disciple to rest and ordered the second disciple to untied his bags and took some rice and grain to cook in the stove in the manor. The third disciple helped to burn the fire. The three disciples were all busy, and Xuanzang himself sat in the hall to rest.

Zhu Shanxian said hello and pulled everyone back to Xiqianyuan and did not continue to speak with Tang Seng. When he returned to the room and closed the door, Shang Ni said a little dissatisfied: "Senior Brother Zhu, why are you pulling us back? The show will begin soon. The monkey is going to steal human fruit. Should we remind Qingfeng and Mingyue to be careful of thieves?"

Ding Qi said: "The real good show has not yet begun. We are here to open our eyes. Doesn't Junior Sister Shang want to see the monkeys bringing reinforcements everywhere?"

Several people waited for a while in the West Cross Courtyard, and finally there was a dispute in the main hall of the front yard, and the show started. Shang Ni was the first to jump out, and Zhu Shanxian couldn't hold it back, and everyone followed him to the front yard.

I saw that Xuanzang and his disciples were all there, and the fairy boy Qingfeng pointed at them and cursed: "Zhen Yuanzi only asked me to give it to Xuanzang two human fruits, but did not say that it would be given to others. Are you thieves coming to your door to beg for alms or robbery? Is this the same thing when you meet a kind-hearted family staying on the way to the west?"

Xin Yuan Wukong asked back: "The owner of this manor wants to donate two human fruits, and we have also used two human fruits. The cause and effect are obvious. Why are you a boy who is a guardian? I understand. If my master doesn't eat it, you will eat it yourself. When the master asks, he will push it onto my master's head... You, a thief who steals the stolen fruit, can't frame it, so he becomes angry!"

This monkey head is smart and not only has a strong fight, but also never suffers from quarrels. He is very aggressive. Qingfeng also got angry and ignored the monkey head. Instead, he pointed at Xuanzang's nose and cursed: "The son is not taught. The father's fault has become a thief. Is this how you teach your disciples? Is there no need for you to say too much? What kind of heart do you want to bring this slight thief monkey to the door?"

Needless to ask, everyone knew the whole story. Qingfeng and Mingyue took two human fruits to ask Xuanzang to eat, but Xuanzang refused to accept it. The fruit should not be released for a long time, otherwise the spiritual effect would be lost. So Qingfeng and Mingyue ate one by one. Zhu Baliang knew about this, so he encouraged Xinyuan Wukong to steal three fruits in the backyard. The first one fell to the ground and there was no trace, and the other two were eaten by them.

Seeing that everyone was arguing, Zhu Shanxian quickly stepped forward to persuade him. Although he knew the inside story, he still asked. He spoke fairly and pointed out that this matter was indeed a wrong between Xin Yuan Wukong and Zhu Baliang. His disciple made a mistake, and his master Xuanzang was also responsible. After all, he was Xuanzang's disciple, and he was also brought by Xuanzang.

Zhishen kept silent, and lowered his head and didn't make any trouble. He must have known that he was the fault of his own. After Zhu Shanxian stood up, Zhu Baliang, the initiator of the incident, hid aside and stopped talking, leaving only Xin Yuan Wukong still indignation.

Xuanzang was a kind man. He thanked Zhu Shanxian repeatedly and came forward to apologize: "I don't want to accept such a rare thing from my master here, but if my two disciples eat greedy, they should be counted on me. Otherwise, the little fairy child would not be able to explain to Zhenyuan Daxian. My disciple was inappropriate and rude, and I will punish him. I will apologize to the little fairy child here."

Xian Hao whispered beside Ding Qi, "This is what it looks like! If something happens, you should stand up and take responsibility. If you find something wrong, you will pack up your things and take your disciples and run away. How can you look like a Taoist monk? What else can you get the scriptures?"

Tan Hanchuan also whispered: "The mind is hard to tame, but the mind is wandering around. One is used to cause trouble, and the other is used to run away."

Unexpectedly, this was heard by the heart monkey Wukong, and turned his head and said angrily: "Who said it?"

Xuanzang grabbed the heart monkey Wukong and said, "Mysterious disciple, it's not enough for you to offend the master here. Do you still want to offend the guest?" He turned to Qingfeng and said, "Little Fairy Child, what do you want to deal with?"

Qingfeng looked at Xuanzang and said, "You have some reason to speak. For those two human fruits, but there are three missing on the tree, and you will have to pay for the extra one."

Xian Hao couldn't help but say, "Yes, you have to pay for stealing something."

Shang Ni shouted excitedly: "This is a monkey head, of course I have to pay for it!"

Tan Hanchuan also nodded and said, "It should be."

It’s exciting to think about it. Are they not afraid of being beaten by monkeys? Anyway, Teacher Ding is covering her. Xin Yuan Wukong bared his teeth and shouted: “Do you have the final say?”

Ding Qi had to speak, "We are just bystanders, here to testify. You are the one who breaks the disaster, and you are responsible for it. What we say doesn't count, but what Zhenyuan Daxian said will count."

Qingfeng nodded and said, "I have protected the spiritual roots of heaven and earth for 1,800 years. Zhen Yuanzi promised me three human fruits. If I follow me, I will punish the monkey head to guard the tree for 600 years. But this fellow Taoist is right. I can't make the decision, so Zhen Yuanzi has the final say. Before he comes back, I will never let you go. I can't understand such things, and I don't have to go again!"

Zhu Baliang suddenly laughed: "I punished my senior brother to guard the tree, is there any fruit left?"

Seeing this scene, Ding Qi was inexplicably dazed. He could no longer tell whether this place was Journey to the West or the world of Lingshan. He had read both books, and the scenes in front of him had been strangely integrated, and they all turned into the delusional realm he had realized.

Just now, Xin Yuan Wukong and Qingfeng Fairy Child quarreled. Zhu Shanxian stepped forward to ask and pointed out who is right and who is wrong. He looked like a leader. Maybe he has experienced many such scenes. Quarrel is a quarrel, even if the gods quarreled. Shang Ni was obviously very excited. She wanted to join in the fun. Since Xian Hao and Tan Hanchuan were already there, they also felt like participating.

As for Ding Qi? He positioned himself as a researcher and an observer, and regarded the false realm as a phenomenon in his study, as if he had become a cold-eyed viewer. Ding Qi felt something was wrong. Not only did he not know whether it was Lingshan or Journey to the West, but he could not even figure out whether he was in it or outside it.

Ding Qi discovered that the heart monkey Wukong was distracted for a moment and realized what the monkey head was doing. According to the book, he should have transformed into a clone to defeat the spiritual roots of the world in the back garden...

What was wrong? Ding Qi couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. At this time, a sudden exclaim from the Mingyue Fairy Child came from the back garden, interrupting Ding Qi's thoughts. The fairy Child's expression changed into a breeze. Then the sound of a breeze in the valley was everywhere, and the untainted aura of the fairy spirits shrouded inside and outside Wuzhuang Temple dissipated with the wind.

Ding Qi and others knew it well, but Xuanzang and others were puzzled. They saw the monkey Wukong suddenly tremble and said, "Thank you!"

Xuanzang stepped forward and grabbed him: "Wukong, what did you do just now?"

The monkey and Wukong grinned his teeth: "That little boy is unreasonable and is a thief monkey. As soon as I was angry, I used a clone technique and went to the backyard to knock down the tree! Give an extra fruit, it would be like killing my life. What kind of immortal cultivation is better to help them cut off this affliction root, and it would be quiet."

Zhishen, who had not spoken next to him, was frightened and trembled: "Senior Brother, why are you doing this so irresistible?"

Xin Yuan Wukong: "How do you know I am a fool? No matter how magical the human body fruit is, can you practice for others? How can you get real liberation when you stick to a tree? If you don't give up a fruit, how can you get the cause? You don't understand the mystery of it."

"As for this, I want to thank you?" A cold voice came, and Qingfeng was standing at the gate of the courtyard at some point, holding a two-foot-long golden mace in his hand, which was his magic weapon, the gold strike.

Xin Yuan Wukong shrugged and waved his hand, "You have to be welcome."

Qingfeng was abnormally not angry anymore, but just sneered: "Xuanzang, I ask you, did you just say that the matter was on your head?" He walked around the rest of the people and came straight to Xuanzang.

Xuanzang nodded silently. After seeing Qingfeng's tone, Wukong saw that Qingfeng had a bad tone and his eyes were about to come, but suddenly he fell to the ground with his head in his arms, and kept moaning and rolling, which made him feel extremely painful. Xuanzang's lips moved slightly, and he didn't know what spell he was chanting.

Qingfeng ignored all this and said in a deep voice: "Then I will hit you with the spiritual roots of heaven and earth." As he spoke, he waved a golden blow and knocked him down at Xuanzang!

Qingfeng took action angrily, and the attack was no sign of any warning. Suddenly, Zhu Baliang and Zhishen had no time to save each other. Jin Biaozi hit Xuanzang's top door, smashing the monk's hat. Xuanzang did not dodge, and the entire Wuguanzhuang and the Haitian Valley outside the village seemed to tremble. He was beaten to the ground.

When Zhu Baliang and Zhishen rushed forward to save their master, Xin Yuan Wukong bounced from the ground and swung his baton to hit Qingfeng, but the Qingfeng had turned into an invisible wind and flew towards the backyard.

"Stop!" Hearing a sudden shout, Xuanzang stood up from the ground, reached out to dust the monk's robe, and saw that he was not hurt at all.

"If you want to seek the true method, you can seek it according to your great wish. If you don't destroy your body and protect your golden body, you will not be considered a merit in the world." A word from the breeze came from the wind, and then there was no other sound.

Even if the gods say something during a quarrel, they must not take it seriously. Qingfeng said that the account should be taken on Xuanzang's head, and even if it is on him, he will beat him down with a wielding magic weapon. The little fairy child in "Lingshan" is very fierce and has a very big background. He not only beat Xuanzang, but also as far as Ding Qi knows, he also beat Xinyuan Wukong afterwards.

Shang Ni clenched her fist and said, "It's so satisfying!" It felt like she had hit that stick by herself.

Tan Hanchuan shook his head and sighed, while Xian Hao said quietly: "I would have done it long ago, but I should have beaten the monkey first."

What exactly happened? According to the description in the book, Xuanzang is not a complete mortal. He is the Dharma body of the Mahayana Heavenly Deity, who is blessed with the golden body and blessings of his previous life. He has six Dings and six Jias, five directions, four gongcao, and one and eighteen Jialans accompanying the Dharma protectors. On the way west, Xuanzang experienced many disasters and was always in danger, not just relying on his unreliable disciples.

Qingfeng's blow destroyed his guardian's golden body, the six Dings and six Jias were gone, the five directions were revealed to be destroyed, the four-pointed Gongcao abandoned the guard, and the guardian Jialan all left, leaving only one mortal monk.
To be continued...
