An almost abandoned post road passes through the vast land. The road is overgrown with weeds. Many places have been washed away by mountains and rivers, or blocked by fallen stones. There are many shrubs growing on both sides of the road, and there are continuous mountains in the distance.

On this deserted post road, three people and one horse walked slowly and feebly, dragging and dragging.

Tang Sanzang was riding on the back of a black dragon horse, with his hands on the saddle. He looked depressed and lost his mind. His body was swaying with the steps of the black dragon horse, his eyes were closed, and his head was lowered.

The black dragon horse has no appearance of a divine horse. Although its black hair is shiny, its drooped head, drooped ears, and slow pace make it difficult to compare it with a divine horse.

Hanuman walked slowly in front carrying a stick, and from time to time he used the stick to hit the weeds and shrubs on the road. Monk Sha carried the burden, buried his head, and followed the black dragon horse step by step.

Hanuman, who was walking in front, suddenly heard Tang Sanzang's voice coming from behind: "Numan! Tell me why Buddhism doesn't allow marriages? I heard that Taoist disciples are not allowed to get married!"

Hanuman didn't look back. He patted the weeds and shrubs and walked forward. He just said, "I don't know why!"

Tang Sanzang's voice came up again: "Wu Jing! Do you know?"

This time, Monk Sha, who was following behind, raised his head and looked at Tang Sanzang, who was swaying on his horse. He reached out and wiped his forehead, and then said, "I don't know, either! But I think it has something to do with Buddhist practice!"

There is obvious uncertainty in the words, it is just speculation.

When Tang Sanzang heard this, his voice suddenly became louder: "Wu Jing, please tell me and listen!"

Monk Sha thought for a while and then said: "I heard that many Buddhist practices seem to require maintaining the virgin body. Otherwise, the effect of practice will be poor. Maybe this is the reason why Buddhism does not allow marriage?"

After hearing this, Tang Sanzang was silent for a while and then said: "Why can't that sect prohibit marriage? I think all the Heavenly Masters of that sect are extremely powerful."

Monk Sha replied: "When I was practicing before, I had contact with disciples of the three Taoist religions. At that time, no matter which of the three Taoist religions, they all emphasized the way of yin and yang, saying, 'A lonely yin does not grow, a lonely yang does not give birth.

!''Yin and Yang complement each other, the way of balance!'' The disciples are not allowed to marry, but now it seems that most of the second generation disciples in the Taoist sect have never been married. Most of them practice alone, I don't know why?"

Tang Sanzang just said: "Oh!" and stopped talking. The three masters and disciples resumed walking with their heads buried in the ground.

Ever since they came out of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice have been dawdling. It has been several months now, but they have not traveled much.

After a while, Tang Sanzang suddenly said: "When the Buddhist scriptures are over, I will return to secular life and come to the Western Liang Women's Kingdom!" After saying this, he suddenly mounted his dragon horse and ran forward.

Hanuman and Monk Sha looked at each other, sighed, and quickly followed.

That day in the West Liang Women's Kingdom. When the queen met Tang Sanzang, they really fell in love with each other. When Tang Sanzang's Sutra car was in trouble in Chiguo, her mentality had already changed. When she arrived in the Women's Kingdom, she accidentally drank Zi.

The mother river water has been teased by the two stable women for a long time. Although the stomachache is unbearable, Tang Sanzang, who is full of blood, has never experienced such an opportunity, and the instinct of the body is awakened. After being attracted by the alluring appearance of the king of the daughter country, this heartstrings

It was triggered, and a wedding banquet was held that day. In the evening, Tang Sanzang neutralized the queen with half a push, which turned out to be a good thing.

But early the next morning, the Maitreya Buddha was so angry that he came over in a hurry. His anger was enough to burn the sky, and he almost destroyed the Xiliang Women's Kingdom. In the end, Tang Sanzang had no choice but to reluctantly leave the Xiliang Women's Kingdom and embark on the journey.

Go west to the main road and look back one step at a time.

No, it had been several months, and Tang Sanzang and the others were still dragging their feet, traveling hundreds of miles to expose the person they were secretly protecting. Jialan, Liuding and Liujia were furious.

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Great Leiyin Temple in Lingshan also had sad faces. Nowadays, traveling to the west to obtain scriptures has almost become a joke. The masters and disciples of Tang Sanzang were still dilly-dallying, wondering how long it would take them to reach Lingshan and obtain the true scriptures.

All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the main hall had sullen faces. The journey to the west to seek Buddhist scriptures has reached this stage, which is simply driving people crazy. The dull atmosphere is suffocating. After a while, Sakyamuni Buddha spoke in a deep voice: "Everyone, tell me.

!What should we do now?”

No one spoke.

It took a long time before I heard Maitreya Buddha say harshly: "Back then, I promised Hanuman, 'Call the sky to respond, call the earth and the earth to respond! Lingshan Buddhism will respond at any time!' Now I can no longer let them dawdle."

, I will personally tell him again that whenever he encounters danger, there is no need to come to Lingshan, he just needs to look into the sky and cry out, and Lingshan will send people to help him so that he can reach Lingshan as soon as possible and obtain the true scripture!"

When Sakyamuni Tathagata heard this, he immediately said: "In this case, we will be troublesome to the Buddha!"

Maitreya Buddha said: "This is all my Buddhist affairs. It is my duty as a poor monk, so why do I have to work so hard! This poor monk will take a walk.

Maitreya Buddha used his magical power to meet with Tang Sanzang's master and disciple. After some speeches, his tongue blossomed into lotus blossoms. After he hid, he saw that Tang Sanzang's master and disciple had quickened their pace. They were traveling day and night, and they were on their way vigorously.

There was a hint of dawdling, and he felt happy in his heart, thinking that his words had an effect. Unexpectedly, this was just because Tang Sanzang had figured it out and wanted to finish his journey to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures quickly, so that he could return to secular life and meet the king of the Western Liang Kingdom.

Then he was on his way actively.

But no matter what, Tang Sanzang's masters and disciples are actively traveling westward, which is a good thing.

Along the way, I didn’t deliberately avoid the hills where monsters were blocking my way. After all, I knew I could call for help at any time, so I became much more courageous.

Although I didn’t deliberately detour, I still encountered some obstacles that I couldn’t get over without detouring. No, I heard that there was no way ahead, and there was a raging volcano stretching for an unknown distance. I could feel the scorching heat from a hundred miles away.

Everything seems to have been burned red. Now there is no human habitation for hundreds of miles around.

There is no other way, let's take a detour! Here Tang Sanzang turned his horse and wanted to find a way to pass by. After receiving the mission in the air, Jialan could no longer hide it. This volcano passed thousands of miles, and this

If we take a detour, we will need to travel at least ten thousand miles more. It has been nearly twenty years since we traveled westward, and we have only traveled a little more than half of the way. If we take another detour, we will have to travel more than 10,000 miles.

The most urgent thing now is this time. Then look south to Buzhou. Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty does not have long life left. If the scriptures cannot be taken back to the East before Li Shimin is alive, then the effect of "Buddha's Dharma spread eastward" will definitely be lost.

The Buddhist sect has sent people to the underworld to discuss with the Ten Palaces of Hell to see if they can extend Li Shimin's life. At worst, he will have to wait until the scripture collection is completed before he dies. But the underworld may not be able to agree to the discussion, and now only

This would allow Tang Sanzang and the others to complete the westward journey as quickly as possible. It would take too much time to get here from Chechi Country.

Then he saw Dharma protector Jialan appear in the sky, and said to Tang Sanzang's master and disciple: "Elder, there is no need to take a detour. There is a Princess Iron Fan who lives in Cuiyun Mountain more than a thousand miles southwest of here. She has a precious fan. She is good at extinguishing fires. All you have to do is go forward."

Go borrow it and blow out the volcano, then you can pass."

When Hanuman heard this, he rolled his eyes, looked at Jialan and said, "Since there is such a good thing, please ask the Venerable to borrow it!"

When Jialan heard this, she smiled and said: "It's hard to borrow from a villain. The Iron Fan Princess is also called the Rakshasa Girl. She was originally the princess of the Rakshasa clan in the Asura clan. Since the Rakshasa clan converted to my Buddha, she has become my Buddha."

Buddhist Dharma protectors. This Rakshasa girl cut off all contact with the Rakshasa clan. Instead, she had close contact with the Asura clan, and married the demon clan saint, the powerful Bull Demon King. The villain went to Hesheng to borrow the treasure fan.

?”

When Hanuman heard this, he said: "In that case, it will be difficult for me to borrow the precious fan when I go. Hundreds of years ago, I made a big fuss in the Rakshasa palace and forged enmity with the Rakshasa clan. I will definitely not be able to borrow the precious fan when I go there."

, it’s better to take a detour!”

Jialan was really dumbfounded after hearing this. Is this still the wind spirit monkey who is not afraid of the sky or the earth? The powerful Bull Demon King is very famous among the Xiniu Hezhou Monster Clan, and has become the leader of the Xiniu Hezhou Monster Clan. There are also several people with great magical powers.

Becoming sworn brothers had a great influence on Buddhism's control of Xiniu Hezhou. Buddhism had planned this powerful bull demon king when it first planned to go west to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Whether it was to kill or conquer, it always wanted to remove this powerful bull demon king. For this purpose, it was designed

There are many ways. However, Cuiyun Mountain is not on the westbound road at all. With the character and cultivation of the Strong Bull Demon King, and he does not believe in the theory of immortality by eating Tang Monk's meat, how to attract the Strong Bull Demon King into the game has become a difficult problem.

Later, he set up a residence and allowed people to transform themselves into Hong Hai'er, the son of the powerful Bull Demon King, and go to the Diamond Mountain to become the Holy Infant King. He wanted to catch Tang Sanzang and eat his meat, hoping to lure out the powerful Bull Demon King and regain or conquer the world in one fell swoop.

Kill this powerful bull demon king.

But before the powerful Bull Demon King appeared, he was disgraced by Red Boy's Samadhi True Fire. Even the water from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool could not extinguish the Samadhi True Fire. Later, he had to ask the Great Compassionate Heavenly Lord Cihang to

, because Master Cihang has a pure bottle, and the bottle contains the three-light divine water given by Yuanshi Tianzun, which is the nemesis of all kinds of fire.

When Master Cihang arrived, he not only extinguished the Samadhi True Fire, but also captured Red Boy, saying that he had a master-disciple relationship, which immediately put an end to the Buddhist plan of using Red Boy to lure the powerful Bull Demon King.

But the fire in the Flame Mountain was set by the Great Arctic Ziwei Emperor and the Taoist Xuandu Tianzun. It was a disaster arranged by the senior brother that day, just to block the way. But at this time, it was the last chance for the Buddhist sect to plot against the powerful Bull Demon King.

.That’s why Dharma protector Jialan came out eagerly to persuade Hanuman to borrow the treasure fan. Of course, there was also the reason why he couldn’t afford to waste time on the detour, but the powerful Bull Demon King’s scheme was the main reason.

But now Hanuman ignores this problem and would rather take a detour than borrow a fan. This is because he didn’t know that the Holy Infant King Red Boy was the son of Princess Iron Fan. If he had known about it, he might not have gone there.

.Dharma protector Jialan is in trouble.

At this time, in Cuiyun Mountain, in the Bajiao Cave, in front of the powerful Bull Demon King and his wife, Red Boy wearing only a red bellyband stood, and his happy face turned into a look of horror at Red Boy's words.

By the time Red Boy finished speaking, the powerful Bull Demon King stood up in shock and subconsciously asked: "Is what you said true?" In fact, it could be seen from his eyes that he believed what Red Boy said.

Red Boy replied affirmatively: "It's true!"

Only then did Princess Iron Fan speak: "How about you staying with your master?"

Honghai'er said: "Okay! Master treats me very well!"

Princess Iron Fan asked again: "Can your master tell you how we should deal with it?"

Hong Hai'er said: "Master said: If a Buddhist disciple comes to borrow a fan, just lend it to him! The boy is now considered a disciple of the Taoist sect. If the child's parents are robbed for no reason, the Taoist sect will also stand up for the child. If a Buddhist sect borrows a fan, you can lend it to him.

After all, this is the "Eastern Transmission of Buddhism" from the Taoist Dharma, so please cooperate. If Buddhism uses this story to cause trouble again, just send a message to Master, and Master will definitely come!"

After hearing this, the powerful bull demon king opened his eyes and said: "Okay! As a father, I will act according to the will of your master, the Great Compassionate Heavenly Lord. After this matter of 'Buddhism spreading eastward', I will settle matters with him in Buddhism."

!”

Soon, Hanuman came to ask for a banana fan to go to the Flame Mountain to put out the fire. Princess Iron Fan followed Red Boy's instructions and readily lent the banana fan to Hanuman, but Hanuman was left in a daze.

Why is Princess Iron Fan so easy to talk to? She carried the fan back to the Flame Mountain.

At this time, Maitreya Buddha and the five Arhats who were waiting in the Flame Mountain were surprised when they saw Hanuman coming back carrying a banana fan. Why did they borrow it?

But since I borrowed this fan, I can't cause trouble again, right?

We had to let Hanuman fan out the flames.

But Hanuman flew over the volcano, performed his magic skills, and waved his fan fiercely. However, no matter how hard Hanuman exerted his strength, the flames were still blazing and showed no sign of extinguishing.

Hanuman returned without success, but Maitreya Buddha's eyes were filled with joy and he said to Hanuman: "It must be the Rakshasa girl who used the fake fan to deceive you! I will go with you to capture the Bull Demon King and the Rakshasa girl.

.Get a real fan and extinguish the volcano. Send your master and disciple there!"

Immediately Hanuman, Maitreya Buddha and several Arhats rushed to Cuiyun Mountain and Basho Cave in an aggressive manner to ask about the crime of deceiving each other with fake fans.

He hit the cave door with a stick and shouted: "Rakshasa Girl, the Bull Demon King came out, why did you use a fake fan to deceive me?"

In the cave, when the Bull Demon King and Iron Fan Princess heard this, they were furious. They each picked up the Hunyuan Iron Bar and their double swords and were about to rush out of the cave. The red boy stopped him and said, "Let me go first."

one look!"

The Bull Demon King shouted: "How can I let you go out like a baby? I'll kill this rogue!" He took a step to go out.
