In the Heavens

Thanks to the enthusiastic invitation of the village owner, Tang Sanzang, who drove the ducks to the shelves, was forced to participate in the first mahjong village-the Bird Sacred Hegemony Tournament.

Although Tang Sanzang has worked very hard, it is too embarrassing for a mortal to face three gods.

There is no need to cheat, just counting and counting cards within the scope of the game rules, and the two sides are no longer on the same level.

After working all night, the hungry Tang Sanzang was finally forced to leave the battlefield because of lack of energy.

At the end of the game, Dazhai, who was still unsatisfied, said with a smile: "Monk Wuna, your body is not good!

I couldn't hold on all night, how could I get to the Western Paradise to seek the scriptures? I think it's better for you to go back home, lest you die halfway and end up buried in a foreign land! "

If ordinary people encountered such a thing, they would have to go crazy on the spot, but the good-tempered Tang Sanzang endured it, and just said weakly: "Amitabha!"

Seeing this scene, the clever Sun Wukong knew that it was time for him to appear on the stage, and immediately jumped out and said: "My lords, you are all masters with unique skills, it is too much to bully Master's mortal body.

Even if it is playing games, there must be an adaptation period. The master has just been exposed to the game, but you and the others are veterans, such a competition is not fair at all.

It's better to allow some time, and when Master is familiar with the rules of the game, we will have another competition.

The great kings are also generous and hospitable people. The four of us, the master and the apprentice, came all the way from the Tang Dynasty in the east. We spent a lot of time eating and sleeping, driving and horses working hard all the way, and there was not enough water all night. Do you want to advance into the friendship of the landlords? ?

Don't worry, my lords, the four of us, master and apprentice, are all monks. We only eat vegetarian food and don't eat meat. It is enough to prepare ten or eight vegetarian dishes, and it doesn't cost much money. "

After listening to Monkey King's words, Tang Sanzang couldn't help yelling at him while he was idle. Last night's competition had exhausted him mentally and mentally, wouldn't it be his death to do it again?

Especially when he heard that Sun Wukong begged for a vegetarian meal from the bandits, Tang Sanzang's heart was raised even more, lest he would anger the bandits and cause a fight.

He has no doubts about the skills of the apprentices, but the problem is that he himself is a mortal body, if he is accidentally involved in a fight, it will kill him if he touches it.

"Puhou, don't talk nonsense. As a king, we don't have high requirements for master and apprentice. As long as there is a temporary shelter, we can arrange fasting meals casually!"

After all, he still couldn't resist the protest of his stomach. Tang Sanzang only lowered the standard, but didn't completely reject Monkey King's proposal.

Glancing at the four masters and apprentices, the third master sitting at the bottom waved his hands and said: "Let the kitchen arrange a fast meal and entertain a few monks well, so as not to spread the word that I don't know the way of hospitality in Mahjong Village!

If you want to rest, the west wing is still vacant, so you can go there yourself. The legs are on your feet, no one will stop you from passing.

But don't think about running away, this place is our territory for hundreds of miles, and we brothers can't hide any disturbance.

Don't say that we are bullying you, this set of mahjong is left for the four of you to study for the time being, and we will have a second match in three days.

It's still the old rule, if you win the game, let you guys continue to go west to learn the scriptures; if you lose the game, then continue to work hard to prepare for the next time! "

Hearing this answer, Tang Sanzang felt mixed feelings. The joy is that after half a month of living in the wind, eating and sleeping in the open, suffering from hunger and cold, I finally have a place to rest and recuperate.

Just remembering the game last night, Tang Sanzang's scalp became numb. I think he was also a top student monk in the temple back then, no matter what scriptures he read, he could memorize them, but now he still feels that his brain is not enough.

Fortunately, the vegetarian food is served quickly and tastes very good. The main reason is that after being hungry for a long time, everything tastes delicious.

After a full meal, Tang Seng, his master and his disciples sat around the mahjong table in a daze. After a while, Tang Sanzang asked the monkey: "Wukong, can you help me win the competition?"

The lesson from last night told Tang Sanzang that he would have no chance if he tried his best. If you want to pass the level smoothly, you will inevitably be opportunistic.

"Master, you are embarrassing my old grandson. Mahjong seems to be easy to play, but there are many changes in it, and the routines in it, my grandson didn't understand it for a while!

Especially this set of mahjong has been sealed by an expert. During the match last night, my old grandson peeked at the opponent's cards and wanted to remind you, but the sound transmission failed. "

Sun Wukong scratched his ears and fished his gills.

It's not that he wants to paddle, it's that the doorway inside is too deep for him to grasp.

Since his debut, Monkey King has rarely been so aggrieved. The last time I encountered such a tragic incident was when the riots in Lingshan were suppressed by the Tathagata.

The monkey who has been severely beaten by society is now a well-behaved and stable monkey. Even though he knew there was something wrong with the mahjong set in front of him, Monkey King didn't intend to destroy it.

Seeing that the first apprentice did not break, Tang Sanzang turned his eyes to the second apprentice again.

"Master, Brother Monkey is right. There is indeed something wrong with this mahjong set. It seems that someone has sealed it to prevent cheating. If it is forcibly broken from the outside world, the seal will probably backfire and cause a catastrophe.

My old pig also watched it last night, and those mountain kings also won by their real skills, without any tricks.

From the old pig's point of view, there is no need to do other tricks. In the past few days, we have accompanied you to practice skills. With Master's ingenuity, it is not easy to defeat several mountain kings.

Even if you lose, you still have another chance. Anyway, they are also entertaining them with good wine and good food, so it doesn't matter if they stay for a few more days, just take a rest and relax. "

Facts have proved that Zhu Bajie, the most caring second apprentice, has never disappointed Tang Sanzang.

Running around all day, a few disciples could withstand it, but Tang Sanzang, who was born with a mortal body, could not. However, he has the great task of learning scriptures, so he is embarrassed to ask for a rest.

In the past, when I rested, that was when I was captured by monsters. But falling into the hands of monsters, I have to worry about it all day, so how can I have a good rest.

In contrast, it is much safer in this cottage. All the bandits are masters of moral cultivation, not to mention everyone is polite, at least no one wants to eat his meat.

He doesn't rob money, doesn't rob sex, treats him with good wine and good food, and just invites him to play mahjong, which doesn't seem to be malicious.

Even if he couldn't win the game and was forced to turn his back on him in the end, with the skills of his three apprentices, he could easily deal with a group of mortals.

"Master, the second senior brother is right. You set out from Dongtu Tang, and you have been exhausted all the way on the pommel horse. Even your iron body can't bear it!

You might as well take the opportunity to rest for a few days, take care of your body first, and study mahjong by the way. Anyway, in addition to technology, luck is also very important in this thing.

No matter how bad luck is, there will always be a day when it will turn around. Participate in several competitions, and there will always be a day when you win. "

The honest Sha Wujing took the opportunity to make up the knife.

They are all mixed in the heavenly court. Although they have changed their figures, they still recognize the temperament that belongs to the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Although I don't know if this is a catastrophe set up by a big boss in the heaven, it is still my own. Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie both know how to act together, so Drifting naturally won't spoil his boss's position.

As for the delay in learning the scriptures, that is a minor problem. The big deal is to speed up a little later, let the white dragon horse run wildly on the road for a few days, and then drive out the time.

If you really can't keep up, the Buddhist master will naturally find a way to arrange it. In this mythical world, the time spent by the scripture learning team is controllable. The big deal is to use the magic of shrinking the ground to an inch a little harder, and the speed of advancement will naturally be faster.

"That's all, just as you said. I haven't slept all night, and I will take a nap for two hours as a teacher, and then we will study the gameplay of this mahjong!"

...

The crackling sound of mahjong rang non-stop in the village. The heavenly soldiers and generals who turned into bandits did not go out to rob, but wandered around the village all day long, watching the lively activities of monk Tang and his disciples.

There are no masters and apprentices at the poker table, and the four Tang monks, masters and apprentices who had a great time playing are almost becoming good brothers.

The feelings of the sutra-learning team have sublimated, but the five directions Jiedi who is protecting him with him are impatient, and quickly contacted Guanyin Bodhisattva.

It's just that the "Mahjong Village" at this moment has been covered by a huge barrier, and no one who is waiting can get in at all.

Even if Guanyin Bodhisattva wanted to interfere, he could only stare at the barrier in a daze. It's not that she didn't think about forcibly breaking the barrier, but reason told her that it's best not to use force when encountering such a thing.

The ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties of the scripture learning team were jointly determined by Buddhism and the great powers of the Three Realms. According to the rules, this difficulty belongs to Emperor Gouchen.

Unless the person who learns the scriptures asks for help, outsiders cannot intervene. If he forcibly took away the merits of this hardship, he would have a karma with Emperor Gouchen.

An explanation is enough for Guanyin, if she offends the Great Emperor Gouchen again, her life will really be difficult.

What's more, the enchantment in front of him is not easy to break. Intuition told Guanyin that this thing is very dangerous. Unless the life of the learner is endangered, she will not force it.

The current situation is very obvious. The mahjong stronghold in front of me is purely used to test the mind of the learners, and there is no danger at all.

Just letting the Buddhist scriptures play cards for entertainment, Guanyin Bodhisattva thinks it is acceptable. If the person who learns the scriptures doesn't even have this bit of willpower, then it's better to change people as soon as possible.

Seeing several village owners basking in the sun leisurely on the roof, the displeased Guanyin Bodhisattva immediately sent a voice transmission: "The god general on duty, come and answer!"

Hearing Guanyin's call, the three frowned in unison. They don't want to deal with Avalokitesvara if possible. It's just that they bumped into each other now, and they all opened their mouths, and it's not good not to say hello.

Of course, the most important thing is that Guanyin Bodhisattva has bigger fists. They are all just little monks who have not entered Daluo, and they have to bow their heads in front of the quasi-sage Almighty.

Jumping up, the three of them appeared in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva. However, the vigilant three resolutely stopped at the entrance of the enchantment, not giving Guanyin Bodhisattva a chance to attack them.

"I have seen Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, and our brothers and sisters set up a catastrophe test here under the order of our ancestors. I don't know what the so-called Bodhisattva came here instead of my brothers?"

It seems to be polite, but the meaning of rejecting people thousands of miles away is still revealed. In order to let Guanyin Bodhisattva retreat in the face of difficulties, even the backstage was moved out.

Seeing that the three of them insisted on the calamity test, Guanyin Bodhisattva suppressed the resentment in his belly again. This was an appointment made by the Buddhist sect with Li Mu in advance, so there was no reason to return at this juncture.

Even if this test is really off the mark, it is still within the scope of the rules. The most important thing is to give countless opportunities, not to be beaten to death with a stick if you fail.

Tang Sanzang can lose countless matches, and as long as he wins one match, he can take a few apprentices on the road to seek the scriptures.

If Buddhism keeps entangled on this issue, the subsequent catastrophe will be really uncomfortable. As a last resort, Guanyin didn't want to turn against Li Mu.

"Amitabha!"

After chanting the Buddha's name, Guanyin questioned with a little displeasure: "God general, according to the agreement, those who learn the scriptures can ask for help. I'm afraid there is something wrong with blocking the cottage with an enchantment and prohibiting us from entering and leaving?"

Hearing this answer, "Big Leader" laughed and said, "Bodhisattva, you have misunderstood. The reason why the Patriarch bestowed this enchantment is mainly to protect the safety of the Buddhist scriptures, so as not to be taken advantage of by Xiaoxiao.

Its function is mainly to prevent outsiders from invading. People inside can not only come in and out freely, but also bring people in, which will not affect Tang Sanzang's disciples coming out to ask for help. "

There's nothing wrong with it, the enchantment is just that smart. If you are not convinced, you can talk to the patriarch. Anyway, the barrier has been laid, so it will not be removed easily.

As for whether Tang Seng and his disciples are willing to come out to ask for help, and when to ask for help, that is the business of the person who learns the scriptures.

Anyway, as the founder of the catastrophe, the longer the time of the resistance and learning team is, the greater the impact will be, and the more merits will be distributed in the end.

Putting water on hand, actually let go not only Tang Seng and his disciples, but also his own share of merit.

Otherwise, if you know you are acting, why do you have to work so hard for so many immortal Buddha mounts, boys and the like in the lower realm.

...

Unaware of the little episode that happened outside, Tang Seng, his master and his disciples were still fighting on the mahjong table. I have to admit that this game is really addictive.

After just a few days of hard work, Tang Seng, his master and his disciples fell in love with this little game.

The road to learn Buddhist scriptures is too boring, especially when resting at night, the long night is even more difficult to pass, and the appearance of mahjong just makes up for this lack.

It's a pity that the more he practiced his skills, the worse Tang Sanzang lost. Being brutally abused by his own apprentice one after another, it really can't raise his fighting spirit.

So much so that he participated in seven competitions in a row, all of which ended in disastrous defeats. In a blink of an eye, in a small mahjong village, the scripture learning team was delayed for two months.

Tang Sanzang, who was originally skinny and skinny, gradually regained his flesh. Perhaps because of the good food or lack of exercise, Tang Sanzang's body is slightly fatter.

If he continued to stay in the mahjong village for a few more months, Tang Sanzang, who was growing fat, would probably become a big fat man in the end.

Fortunately, at this moment, the seal blessed by the two sages Jieyin and Zhunti began to work on Tang Sanzang's body, constantly hinting to him in the depths of his heart-the importance of the great cause of learning from the scriptures.

Tang Sanzang, who was addicted to games and gradually lost himself, was pulled out of his comfort zone, allowing him to focus on the great cause of learning scriptures again.

In the early morning of this day, after eating breakfast as usual, Tang Sanzang summoned three apprentices and said worriedly: "It has been two months since I came to Mahjong Village, and I really put aside my great cause of learning Buddhist scriptures as a teacher.

It's all due to the dull aptitude of the teacher, unable to grasp the essence of it. It is a sin to delay the great cause of learning Buddhist scriptures after many competitions in a row, but all ended in failure..."

Before Tang Sanzang finished sighing, Zhu Bajie jumped out and poured cold water on him: "Master, don't you just sigh here!

Compared with the outside world full of monsters and ghosts, this mahjong village is simply a paradise. The bandits in the village seemed vicious, but they were actually not very evil people.

We've been here for so long, and they've all served us with good wine and good food, and we haven't seen them go out to rob. It is estimated that most of them are righteous men who were persecuted by the world and forced to fall here.

We agreed in advance to decide whether to stay or not by winning or losing the mahjong contest, and now we have to admit if we lose. If you lose your face because you can't afford to lose, anyway, my old pig can't afford to lose that person.

If you have the time to make a fuss, you might as well study the mahjong strategies, strive to win in the next competition, and lead us out from here proudly. "

"Master, what Bajie said is right. The most important thing when you get out of chaos is to keep your credibility. As Buddhist scriptures, we represent not only ourselves, but also the Buddhist sect behind us.

Since it was agreed to use the mahjong game to decide whether to stay or not, then the rules must be followed. Don't let Buddhism be ashamed because of a moment of anger. "

Sun Wukong followed closely.

Seeing Sha Wujing at the corner also eager to try, as if he wanted to persuade him, Tang Sanzang immediately waved his sleeves and turned around.

These disciples are really worrying. As a master, he all hinted so clearly, and in the end, not only did they not accept the move, but they used the truth to block him.

The reputation of Buddhism has been moved out, which makes Tang Sanzang what else to say. Turn your face and deny it, and forcefully type it out from here?

Just think about it secretly, the three apprentices are not willing to make a move. Even if he dares to turn his face against a monk who has no strength to restrain a chicken, he doesn't have the capital to get out of here!

...
