Chapter 36

Now Sun Wukong had already descended from his cloud and told his master everything about how the Bodhisattva had borrowed the boy and Lord Lao had taken back the treasures. Tang Sanzang expressed his gratitude without end, and with a heart firmly resolved and the deepest sincerity, he committed his life to the journey westward. He mounted the horse, Zhu Bajie shouldered the luggage, Sha Wujing held the bridle, and Sun Wukong gripped his iron staff, cutting a path forward as they descended the high mountain. Words cannot tell of their lodging by streams and dining on the wind, of braving frost and enduring dew.

After the master and disciples had traveled for some time, another mountain blocked their path. Sanzang, from atop his horse, called out: "Disciples, look at the towering peaks of that mountain. We must be on our guard, for there may be demons and obstacles waiting to attack us!" Wukong said, "Master, do not let your thoughts wander. Simply preserve your nature and keep your spirit settled, and naturally nothing will happen." Sanzang said: "Ah, disciples, why is the journey to the Western Heaven so difficult? I remember leaving Chang'an, and along the way spring ended and summer came, autumn faded and winter arrived—it has been four or five years, yet we still haven't reached our destination!" At this, Wukong laughed and said: "It's early, it's early! We haven't even left the front gate yet." Bajie said: "Brother, don't tell such tall tales. Is there really a gate that big in the mortal world?" Wukong said: "Brother, we're still just wandering around the main hall." Sha Wujing laughed and said: "Elder Brother, stop boasting to frighten me. Even if there were a hall that grand, there'd be nowhere to buy a crossbeam that enormous!" Wukong said: "Brother, if you ask old Sun, I'd say we take the blue sky as our roof tiles, the sun and moon as our window lattices, the four mountains and five peaks as our pillars and beams, and heaven and earth as one great open hall." Bajie, hearing this, said: "Enough, enough! Let's just turn back sometime." Wukong said: "Stop this idle talk and just follow old Sun on the road."

The great Sage, slinging his iron staff across his shoulders, led Tang Sanzang and cut a path through the mountain as they advanced straight ahead. The master, from atop his horse, gazed afar at the splendid mountain scenery. Truly:

The mountain peaks rose crudely, scraping the handle of the Dipper; the treetops seemed to touch the clouds. Amid the blue smoke, one now and then heard gibbons crying in the valley mouth; within the tangled green shadows, one constantly heard cranes calling among the pines. Mountain spirits howled in the wind by the stream, playing tricks on woodcutters; cunning foxes sat by the cliff's edge, startling hunters. What a mountain! See its eight faces of craggy precipices, its four sides of sheer danger. Strange, towering pines spread their canopies of green; withered old trees were draped with wisteria vines. Waterfalls cascaded, their chill piercing one's very hair with cold; the peaks stood tall, their clear winds striking the eyes and startling the soul. Now and then one heard the roar of great tigers, constantly the calls of mountain birds. Herds of muntjacs and deer threaded through the brambles, leaping back and forth; packs of river deer sought wild food in the fields, running to and fro. Standing on the grassy slope, one looked out and saw no travelers at all; coming into the deep hollow, on all sides there were jackals and wolves. Surely no place for a Buddha to cultivate—entirely a domain of flying birds and running beasts.

The master trembled with fear as he entered this deep mountain, his heart full of sorrow. He reined in his horse and called out: "Wukong! Ever since

I resolved to climb the mountain and grow in wisdom,

Wangbuliuxing escorted me from the city.

On the road I met Sanlengzi,

Along the way Madouling urged the horse on.

Searching slopes and crossing streams, I sought Jingjie,

Climbing ridges and ascending mountains, I bowed to Fuling.

With Fangji, my whole body is like bamboo sap—

When, with Huixiang, shall I pay court to the Emperor?"

The Great Sage Wukong, hearing this, said with a cold laugh: "Master, do not worry, do not be anxious. Just set your mind at ease and advance—you will achieve success when your efforts are sufficient." The master and disciples enjoyed the mountain scenery and strolled at leisure, when before they knew it, the red wheel of the sun had sunk in the west. Indeed:

At the ten-mile pavilion, no travelers walked;

In the nine heavens above, the stars appeared.

On the eight rivers, all boats had returned to harbor;

In the seven thousand prefectures and counties, every gate was shut.

The six palaces and five ministries sent officials home;

On the four seas and three rivers, all fishing lines were stowed.

From two towers, the bells and drums sounded;

One bright moon filled the whole of heaven and earth.

The elder, from atop his horse, gazed afar and saw in the mountain hollow layered pavilions and stacked towers, hall upon hall. Sanzang said: "Disciples, it is now late in the day. Fortunately, over there not far away are buildings—most likely a nunnery or a monastery. Let us go there and ask for lodging for the night, and continue tomorrow." Wukong said: "Master speaks rightly. Don't be hasty—let me first see whether it is good or bad." The Great Sage leaped into the air and looked carefully. Indeed, it was a temple gate. He saw:

Eight-character brick walls plastered with red powder,

On both sides, the doors studded with golden nails.

Layered pavilions hidden by the mountain's edge,

Tiered palaces concealed within the mountains.

The Pavilion of Ten Thousand Buddhas faced the Hall of Tathagata,

The Tower of Morning Sun corresponded to the Gate of Great Heroism.

The seven-storied pagoda gathered clouds and lodged mist,

The Three Noble Buddhas shone with glory.

The Terrace of Manjushri faced the Sangharama quarters,

The Hall of Maitreya leaned against the Hall of Great Compassion.

Beyond the Mountain-Viewing Tower, blue light danced;

Above the Pavilion of Pacing the Void, purple clouds arose.

Pine gates and bamboo courtyards, lush and green,

Abbot's quarters and meditation halls, everywhere serene.

Refined and secluded, they offered pleasures,

Winding and flowing, they welcomed joyfully.

In the meditation places, monks lectured on Chan;

In the music rooms, many instruments resounded.

On the wondrous high terrace, epiphyllum flowers fell;

Before the dharma platform, palm-leaf scriptures grew.

Indeed, the forest sheltered the Land of the Three Treasures,

The mountains embraced the palace of the Brahma King.

Half a wall of lamplight flickered and glowed,

A line of fragrant incense drifted through the mist.

The Great Sage Sun Wukong pressed down his cloud and reported to Sanzang: "Master, it is indeed a monastery. It will do nicely for lodging. Let us go."

The Elder let go of his horse and walked straight ahead, arriving directly at the mountain gate. Pilgrim said, "Master, what temple is this?" Tripitaka said, "My horse's hooves have only just stopped, and my foot hasn't even left the stirrup, yet you ask me what temple this is—how utterly obtuse!" Pilgrim said, "You, venerable sir, have been a monk since childhood. You must have studied the Confucian classics before you could expound the scriptures and doctrines. Your literary and philosophical learning is thorough, and only then did you receive the grace and pardon of the Tang Emperor. There are such large characters on the gate—how can you not recognize them?" The Elder scolded, "You wretched monkey! Speaking without sense. I was urging my horse westward, and the sun's rays were shining in my eyes. Though there are characters on the gate, they are obscured by dust and grime, so I couldn't see them." Upon hearing this, Pilgrim bent his waist and grew more than twenty feet tall. He brushed away the dust with his hand and said, "Master, please look." There were five large characters reading: "Imperial Bestowal Baolin Temple." Pilgrim收回 his magical form and said, "Master, who should go inside this temple to ask for lodging?" Tripitaka said, "I will go. Your faces are ugly, your speech is coarse, and your tempers are fierce and arrogant. If you offend the monks here and they refuse us lodging, that would be unfortunate." Pilgrim said, "In that case, please go in, Master, and say no more."

The Elder set down his staff, removed his cape, straightened his robes, and pressed his palms together, then entered straight through the mountain gate. He saw that inside the red-lacquered railings on both sides, a pair of Diamond Guardians sat in high seats, sculpted with a fierce and hideous majesty:

One had an iron face and steel whiskers as if alive; the other had bristling brows and round eyes like exquisite carvings. The one on the left had knobby fists like raw iron; the one on the right had rugged palms that rivaled red copper. Golden chain mail gleamed brilliantly; bright helmets and embroidered sashes fluttered as if in the wind. The Western Land truly abounds in offerings to Buddha—incense burned red in the stone censer between them.

When Tripitaka saw them, he nodded and sighed deeply, "If only someone in my Eastern Land could mold clay images of such great Bodhisattvas and burn incense to worship them, this disciple of mine would not need to go to the Western Heaven." Just as he was sighing, he arrived inside the second mountain gate. There he saw images of the Four Heavenly Kings—Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Vaiśravaṇa, Virūḍhaka, and Virūpākṣa—arranged according to the northeast-southwest directions to bring favorable winds and timely rain. Entering through the second gate, he saw four tall pine trees, each with a lush canopy spreading like an umbrella. Suddenly raising his head, he beheld the Great Hero Hall. The Elder pressed his palms together in devotion and prostrated himself. After rising, he turned past the Buddha platform and came to the rear gate. There he saw an image of Avalokiteśvara facing backward, delivering beings across the Southern Sea. On the walls were exquisitely crafted sculptures by skilled artisans of shrimp, fish, crabs, and turtles, emerging from the waves, tails exposed, playing in the surging seawater. The Elder nodded three or five times and sighed countless times, "How pitiful! Even creatures of scale and shell bow to Buddha—why will men not cultivate themselves?"

Just as he was sighing in admiration, he saw a Daoist priest walk out from the third gate. The priest suddenly noticed Tripitaka's extraordinary appearance and distinguished bearing. He hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Where does this master come from?" Tripitaka said, "This disciple has been sent by the throne of the Great Tang in the East to worship Buddha and seek scriptures in the Western Heaven. Now that I have arrived at this sacred place and the day is drawing to a close, I beg lodging for the night." The Daoist priest said, "Master, do not blame me—I cannot make the decision. I am merely the sweeper, bell-ringer, and laborer here. Inside there is an abboting master who manages affairs. Let me go in and report to him. If he keeps you, I will come out to invite you; if he does not, I dare not detain you." Tripitaka said, "I am indebted to you."

The Daoist priest hurried to the abbot's quarters and reported, "Venerable sir, there is a person outside." The monastic official immediately rose, changed his clothes, adjusted his pilu hat, put on his kasaya, and hastily opened the door to greet him. He asked the Daoist priest, "Where is this person from?" The priest pointed and said, "Isn't that a person by the back of the main hall?" There was Tripitaka, with his head shaved bare, wearing a twenty-five-striped Damo robe, his feet in a pair of mud-splattered Dagong shoes, leaning against the rear gate. When the monastic official saw him, he flew into a rage and said, "Daoist, you deserve a beating! Don't you know I am the monastic official? I only come out to greet when gentlemen from the city come to offer incense. For a monk like this, how can you be so full of empty flattery and report to me to receive him? Judging by his face, he is no honest man—most likely a wandering monk. The day is late, and he probably wants to ask for lodging. How can our abbot's quarters tolerate his disturbance? Tell him to squat in the front corridor—why report to me?" He turned and walked away.

When the Elder heard this, tears filled his eyes. "How pitiful, how pitiful! This is what they mean by 'a man away from home is despised.' This disciple of mine has been a monk since childhood. I have never broken my fasts, eaten meat, or harbored evil thoughts. I have never read scriptures with anger or corrupted my meditative mind. I have never thrown tiles or bricks to damage a Buddhist temple, nor stripped gold from the face of an Arhat. Alas! How pitiful! I wonder what offense I gave to Heaven and Earth in a past life, that in this life I constantly meet unkind people.—Monk, if you won't give us lodging, so be well and good, but why speak such lazy, careless words, telling us to squat in the front corridor? It would be well if you hadn't said this to Pilgrim. If you had, that monkey would come in and with one swing of his iron staff break your legs!" The Elder said, "Very well, very well. As the saying goes, 'A man should begin with courtesy and propriety.' Let me go in and ask him once more and see what he intends."

The master followed his footsteps and entered the abbot's chamber. There he saw the monk-official, clothes removed, sitting there in a huff. It was unclear whether he was reciting sutras or writing ritual documents for someone, for on the desk lay a pile of papers. Tang Sanzang dared not go further and stood in the courtyard, bowing respectfully and calling out, "Elder Abbot, your disciple greets you."

The monk showed some displeasure at his coming inside, and returned a perfunctory half-bow, saying, "Where are you from?"

Sanzang replied, "Your disciple was sent by the Great Tang Emperor in the East to worship the Living Buddha in the West and seek the scriptures. Passing through your venerable temple, and finding it late in the day, I beg to stay the night. I will be gone by first light tomorrow. I earnestly hope the Elder Abbot will be accommodating."

Only then did the monk-official rise slightly and say, "Are you that Tang Sanzang?"

Sanzang said, "I would not presume, but I am indeed he."

The monk-official said, "If you are going west to fetch the scriptures, how can you not even know the way?"

Sanzang said, "Your disciple has never traveled this road before."

He said, "Due west, only four or five *li* away, there is a thirty-*li* inn where people sell meals and lodging is convenient. Here it is not convenient—I cannot well keep monks who have come from far away."

Sanzang pressed his palms together and said, "Abbot, the ancients said: 'Hermitages, monasteries, and temples are all lodging houses for our fellow monks; at every mountain gate there are three pecks of rice to share.' Why will you not keep me? What is the reason?"

The monk-official cried out angrily, "You wandering monk, you speak with a slick and oily tongue!"

Sanzang said, "What do you mean by a slick and oily tongue?"

The monk-official said, "The ancients said: 'When a tiger enters the city, every household closes its door. Though it bites no one, its reputation was ruined long ago.'"

Sanzang said, "What do you mean, 'its reputation was ruined long ago'?"

He said, "In years past, several traveling monks came and sat down at my mountain gate. I saw how poor and wretched they were—each one with torn clothes and no shoes, bare-headed and barefoot. I pitied their ragged state and at once invited them into the abbot's chamber, seated them in places of honor, treated them to vegetarian meals, and lent each of them an old garment. I kept them for several days. Who would have known that they grew fond of an easy life with food and clothing, and gave no thought to moving on? They stayed seven or eight years. Staying would have been one thing, but they also did many dishonest deeds."

Sanzang said, "What dishonest deeds?"

The monk-official said, "Listen to me:

In idle hours they threw tiles over the wall;

When bored, they pried nails from the wall.

In cold weather they broke window lattices for firewood;

In summer they dragged doors to block the pathway.

They tore banner cloth to make foot bindings,

And stole incense to swap for turnips.

They often tipped over the glass oil lamps,

And fought over bowls and pots."

Hearing these words, Sanzang thought to himself in his heart, "How pitiful! Could my disciples be such spineless monks?" He wanted to weep, but feared the old monks in the temple would laugh at him. Silently wiping his tears with his robe, he swallowed his anger and went out quickly to see his three disciples.

Seeing anger on his master's face, the Pilgrim stepped forward and asked, "Master, did the monks in the temple beat you?"

Tang Sanzang said, "They did not beat me."

Zhu Bajie said, "They must have beaten you! Otherwise, why is there still a sound of weeping?"

The Pilgrim said, "Did they curse you?"

Tang Sanzang said, "They did not curse me either."

The Pilgrim said, "Since they neither beat nor cursed you, why are you so distressed? Could it be that you are homesick?"

Tang Sanzang said, "Disciple, it is not convenient here."

The Pilgrim laughed and said, "Could this be a Daoist temple?"

Tang Sanzang said angrily, "Only in a Daoist temple would there be Daoists; in a Buddhist temple there are only monks."

The Pilgrim said, "You are no good at this. But monks are just like us. As the saying goes: 'All who are under the assembly of the Buddha are people with karmic ties.' You sit here and wait. Let me go in and have a look."

So the fine Pilgrim pressed down his golden headband, tightened his skirt around his waist, grasped his iron staff, and went straight to the Great Hero Hall. Pointing at the three Buddha statues, he said, "You are nothing but clay figures gilded in gold—surely there is no true spirit within! Old Sun is escorting the holy monk of the Great Tang to worship the Buddha in the West and obtain the true scriptures. Tonight we have come here to seek lodging. Report our presence at once! If you do not keep us, I will smash your golden bodies with one beating of my staff and reduce you back to your original form of clay."

While the Great Sage was making threats and talking wildly up front, a Daoist who burned evening incense came in, lit several sticks, and inserted them into the censer before the Buddha. The Pilgrim gave a fierce shout, and the man was so frightened he fell. He got up, saw the Pilgrim's face, and fell again. Terrified, he stumbled and rolled into the abbot's chamber and reported, "Sir, there is a monk outside."

The monk-official said, "You Daoists are all useless. I already told you to make him crouch in the front corridor—why report again? Say one more word and you get twenty blows."

The Daoist said, "Sir, this monk is different from the other one: he is fierce-looking and has no backbone."

The monk-official said, "What does he look like?"

The Daoist said, "He has round eyes, protruding ears, a face covered in hair, and a mouth like the God of Thunder. He holds a staff in his hand, grits his teeth fiercely, and looks as if he wants to find someone to beat."

The monk-official said, "Let me go out and see."

He opened the door, and in burst the Great Sage—truly a hideous sight: a face as uneven as a cliff, two yellow eyes, a bony forehead, and fangs jutting outward. He was like a crab—the flesh on the inside, the bones on the outside. The old abbot, in a panic, slammed the gate to the abbot's quarters shut. The Great Sage rushed forward and smashed through the door with a single blow, crying, "Hurry up and sweep out a thousand clean rooms—old Sun wants to sleep!"

The abbot hid in his quarters and said to one of the novices, "I thought he was just ugly, but it turns out his face got twisted from boasting. Here we have the abbot's quarters, the Buddha Hall, the drum and bell towers, and the two corridors—all together not even three hundred rooms. And he wants a thousand rooms to sleep in? Where is he going to get them?"

The novice said, "Master, I'm a man whose gall has already burst from fright. Just agree with him however you please."

The abbot, trembling and shaking, shouted at the top of his lungs, "Honored guest seeking lodging, our little barren mountain is not convenient for you. We dare not presume to keep you—please go and stay elsewhere!"

The Great Sage made his staff as thick as a basin and planted it upright in the courtyard. "Monk, if it's not convenient, then move out."

The abbot said, "We have lived in this monastery since we were young. Our master's master passed it to our master, our master passed it to us, and we are to pass it on to our descendants far into the future. We don't know what sort of business this is—to come barging in and tell us to move!"

The novice said, "Old lord, this is truly most awkward. We might as well move out—that pole has already smashed through our gate!"

The abbot said, "Don't talk nonsense. We are four or five hundred monks, old and young alike. Where would we move? And even if we moved out, there's nowhere to stay."

The Great Sage heard this and said, "Monk, if you have nowhere to move, then send someone out to sample a staff-stroke."

The old abbot called to the novice, "You go out and sample a staff-stroke for me."

The novice was terrified. "Grandfather! That massive pole—you want me to sample a staff-stroke?"

The old abbot said, "An army is fed for a thousand days to be used for one morning. Why won't you go out?"

The novice said, "That pole—I'm not even talking about it striking. If it fell over, it would squash me into meat paste."

The old abbot said, "Never mind being crushed—just think of it standing upright in the courtyard. If we're walking at night and forget about it, we'd crack a great hole in our heads."

The novice said, "Master, you know how heavy it is—why are you making me go out to sample a staff-stroke?" And so they argued among themselves inside.

The Great Sage listened and said, "That's true—they really can't take it. If I were to strike and kill one with a single blow, my master would scold me for committing murder. Let me find something else to strike and show you."

He suddenly looked up and saw a stone lion outside the gate to the abbot's quarters. He raised his staff and brought it down with a bang, smashing it to smithereens. The monks, watching through the window frames, were so frightened that their bones turned soft and their sinews went limp. The abbot frantically crawled under his bed; the novice dove into the stove opening, crying out without cease, "Grandfather, the staff is heavy, too heavy to bear! Have mercy, have mercy!"

The Great Sage said, "Monk, I'm not going to hit you. I'll ask you: how many monks are in this monastery?"

The abbot replied, trembling, "There are two hundred and eighty-five sections in front and behind, with five hundred monks in all who hold ordination certificates."

The Great Sage said, "Quickly now—assemble all five hundred monks in neat and proper order, put on your long robes, and go out to welcome my Tang master inside. Then I won't hit you."

The abbot said, "Grandfather, if you won't hit us, we'll carry him in on our shoulders!"

The Great Sage said, "Do it quickly."

The abbot called to the novice, "Don't say your gall has burst—even if your heart has burst, go and summon these people to come receive Old Master Tang."

The novice had no choice. He risked his life, not daring to go through the gate, but crawled out through the dog hole at the back. He went straight to the main hall, beat the drum on the east side and struck the bell on the west. When the bell and drum sounded together, the monks in the two corridors, great and small, were startled. They came up to the hall and asked, "It's neither early nor late—why are you striking the bell and beating the drum?"

The novice said, "Quickly change your clothes and line up with the senior monks. Go out the mountain gate to welcome the lord who has come from the Tang dynasty."

The monks indeed arranged themselves in neat and proper order and filed out the gate to welcome the guest. Some wore their kasayas; some wore their half-robes; those with nothing else wore a patched robe; and those who were truly destitute, having no long garment at all, took their waist skirts and wrapped two of them around themselves.

The Great Sage looked at them and said, "Monks, what are you wearing?"

The monks, seeing his hideous face, said, "Grandfather, don't hit us—let me explain. This is cloth we begged in the city. There are no tailors here, so we made these ourselves—they're called 'one-wrap rags.'"

The Great Sage smiled to himself at these words. He escorted the monks out and made them kneel outside the mountain gate. The abbot kowtowed and shouted loudly, "Lord Tang, please take a seat in the abbot's quarters."

Pigsy saw this and said, "Master, you're really useless. When you went in, your eyes were full of tears and your mouth could have hung an oil bottle from it. How did Senior Brother manage to be so clever as to make them kowtow and come out to welcome us?"

Tripitaka said, "You stupid fool, you have no manners at all. As the saying goes: 'Even ghosts fear wicked men.'"

Tripitaka was deeply moved by their kowtowing and bowing. He stepped forward and said, "Please, all of you, rise."

The monks knocked their heads on the ground and said, "Lord, if you would only say a kind word to your disciple and tell him not to use that pole, we would be happy to kneel here for a month."

Tripitaka said, "Wukong, don't hit them."

The Great Sage said, "I haven't hit them. If I had, I would have already smashed them to pieces by now."

Only then did the monks get to their feet. Some led the horse, some carried the luggage, some bore Tripitaka on their shoulders, some carried Pigsy on their backs, and some supported Sha Wujing. Together they all entered through the mountain gate and proceeded to the abbot's quarters in the rear, where they took their seats in proper order.

The monks again bowed in reverence. Tripitaka said, "Abbot, please rise. No more ceremony—you humble this poor monk. We are all disciples of the Buddha." The monastic official said, "Your Excellency is an envoy from a great kingdom, and this little monk failed to greet you properly. Now that you have come to this desolate mountain, my vulgar eyes failed to recognize your noble bearing, and we have met by chance. May I ask, Your Excellency: along the road, do you eat vegetarian food or meat? So that we may prepare a meal accordingly." Tripitaka said, "Vegetarian." The monastic official said, "Disciples, this master prefers meat." Wukong said, "We also eat vegetarian—we have been vegetarian since birth." The monk said, "Master! Such fierce men eat vegetarian?" One bolder monk stepped forward and asked, "Since Your Excellency eats vegetarian, how much rice should be cooked to fill everyone?" Bajie said, "Petty little monk, why ask? Cook a whole dan of rice for each household." The monks were all alarmed and hurried off to scour the pots and stoves, and each chamber set about preparing tea and meals. They lit bright lamps, arranged tables and chairs, and hosted Tripitaka.

When the master and disciples had finished their evening meal, the monks cleared away the dishes. Tripitaka offered his thanks: "Old Abbot, we have troubled your precious mountain." The monastic official said, "Not at all, not at all. We have been remiss, remiss." Tripitaka said, "Where shall my disciples and I rest for the night?" The monastic official said, "Your Excellency need not hurry; this little monk will make arrangements." He called out, "Temple servants—how many men are available in the western wing?" The servants replied, "Master, there are some." The monastic official instructed them: "Send two of you to prepare fodder and feed the Tang master's horse. Send several others to sweep the three meditation halls in the front, clean them thoroughly, and make up the bedding. Quickly invite His Excellency to retire."

The servants obeyed, each attending to his task, and then came to invite the Tang master to rest.

Tripitaka said, "Very well. My disciples have had a hard journey, so go and sleep first. Let me read through this scroll of scripture." Wukong said, "You are mistaken, Master. You left home as a young man and became a monk — which of the scriptures from your younger days would you not know by heart? And yet you received the Tang Emperor's decree to travel west to see the Buddha and obtain the true scriptures of the Great Vehicle. Now your task is not yet complete, the Buddha has not been seen, and the scriptures have not been obtained — which scroll of scripture are you reciting?" Tripitaka said, "Ever since I left Chang'an, I have pressed on each day and hurried on each hour. I fear the scriptures from my youth may have grown rusty. Fortunately, I have a free evening tonight, so let me review and refresh my memory." Wukong said, "Since that is the case, we shall go to sleep first." The three of them each lay down on a rattan bed. The elder closed the meditation hall door, trimmed high the silver lamp, spread open his scripture, and read in silence. Truly it was:

At the first evening drum, the world grew still and the people's fires dimmed;

On the wild shore, the fishing boats had put out their lights.

How the elder left the temple — of this you shall hear in the next chapter.

第036回

卻說孫行者按落雲頭,對師父備言菩薩借童子,老君收去寶貝之事。三藏稱謝不已,死心塌地辦虔誠,捨命投西,攀鞍上馬,豬八戒挑著行李,沙和尚攏著馬頭,孫行者執了鐵棒,剖開路,徑下高山前進。說不盡那水宿風餐,披霜冒露。

師徒們行罷多時,前又一山阻路。三藏在那馬上高叫:「徒弟啊,你看那裡山勢崔巍,須是要仔細隄防,恐又有魔障侵身也。」行者道:「師父休要胡思亂想,只要定性存神,自然無事。」三藏道:「徒弟呀,西天怎麼這等難行?我記得離了長安城,在路上春盡夏來,秋殘冬至,有四五個年頭,怎麼還不能得到?」行者聞言,呵呵笑道:「早哩,早哩,還不曾出大門哩。」八戒道:「哥哥不要扯謊。人間就有這般大門?」行者道:「兄弟,我們還在堂屋裡轉哩。」沙僧笑道:「師兄,少說大話嚇我。那裡就有這般大堂屋,卻也沒處買這般大過梁啊。」行者道:「兄弟,若依老孫看時,把這青天為屋瓦,日月作窗櫺,四山五岳為梁柱,天地猶如一敞廳。」八戒聽說道:「罷了,罷了,我們只當轉些時回去罷。」行者道:「不必亂談,只管跟著老孫走路。」

好大聖,橫擔了鐵棒,領定了唐僧,剖開山路,一直前進。那師父在馬上遙觀,好一座山景。真個是:

山頂嵯峨摩斗柄,樹梢彷彿接雲霄。青煙堆裡,時聞得谷口猿啼;亂翠陰中,每聽得松間鶴唳。嘯風山魅立溪間,戲弄樵夫;成器狐狸坐崖畔,驚張獵戶。好山!看那八面崖巍,四圍險峻。古怪喬松盤翠蓋,枯摧老樹掛藤蘿。泉水飛流,寒氣透人毛髮冷;巔峰屹𡶧,清風射眼夢魂驚。時聽大蟲哮吼,每聞山鳥時鳴。麂鹿成群穿荊棘,往來跳躍;獐𤜱結黨尋野食,前後奔跑。佇立草坡,一望並無客旅;行來深凹,四邊俱有豺狼。應非佛祖修行處,盡是飛禽走獸場。

那師父戰戰兢兢,進此深山,心中悽慘,兜住馬,叫聲:「悟空啊!我

自從益智登山盟,王不留行送出城。

路上相逢三棱子,途中催趲馬兜鈴。

尋坡轉澗求荊芥,邁嶺登山拜茯苓。

防己一身如竹瀝,茴香何日拜朝廷?」

孫大聖聞言,呵呵冷笑道:「師父不必罣念,少要心焦,且自放心前進,還你個功到自然成也。」師徒們玩著山景,信步行時,早不覺紅輪西墜。正是:

十里長亭無客走,九重天上現星辰。

八河船隻皆收港,七千州縣盡關門。

六宮五府回官宰,四海三江罷釣綸。

兩座樓頭鐘鼓響,一輪明月滿乾坤。

那長老在馬上遙觀,只見那山凹裡有樓臺疊疊,殿閣重重。三藏道:「徒弟,此時天色已晚,幸得那壁廂有樓閣不遠,想必是庵觀寺院,我們都到那裡借宿一宵,明日再行罷。」行者道:「師父說得是。不要忙,等我且看好歹如何。」那大聖跳在空中,仔細觀看,果然是座山門。但見:

八字磚牆泥紅粉,兩邊門上釘金釘。

疊疊樓臺藏嶺畔,層層宮闕隱山中。

萬佛閣對如來殿,朝陽樓應大雄門。

七層塔屯雲宿霧,三尊佛神現光榮。

文殊臺對伽藍舍,彌勒殿靠大慈廳。

看山樓外青光舞,步虛閣上紫雲生。

松關竹院依依綠,方丈禪堂處處清。

雅雅幽幽供樂事,川川道道喜迴迎。

參禪處有禪僧講,演樂房多樂器鳴。

妙高臺上曇花墜,說法壇前貝葉生。

正是那林遮三寶地,山擁梵王宮。

半壁燈煙光閃灼,一行香靄霧朦朧。

孫大聖按下雲頭,報與三藏道:「師父,果然是一座寺院,卻好借宿,我們去來。」

這長老放開馬,一直前來,徑到了山門之外。行者道:「師父,這一座是甚麼寺?」三藏道:「我的馬蹄才然停住,腳尖還未出鐙,就問我是甚麼寺,好沒分曉。」行者道:「你老人家自幼為僧,須曾講過儒書,方才去演經法,文理皆通,然後受唐王的恩宥。門上有那般大字,如何不認得?」長老罵道:「潑猢猻!說話無知。我才面西催馬,被那太陽影射,奈何門雖有字,又被塵垢朦朧,所以未曾看見。」行者聞言,把腰兒躬一躬,長了二丈餘高,用手展去灰塵,道:「師父,請看。」上有五個大字,乃是「敕建寶林寺」。行者收了法身,道:「師父,這寺裡誰進去借宿?」三藏道:「我進去。你們的嘴臉醜陋,言語粗疏,性剛氣傲,倘或衝撞了本處僧人,不容借宿,反為不美。」行者道:「既如此,請師父進去,不必多言。」

那長老卻丟了錫杖,解下斗篷,整衣合掌,徑入山門。只見兩邊紅漆欄杆裡面,高坐著一對金剛,裝塑的威儀惡醜:

一個鐵面鋼鬚似活容,一個燥眉圜眼若玲瓏。左邊的拳頭骨突如生鐵,右邊的手掌崚嶒賽赤銅。金甲連環光燦爛,明盔繡帶映飄風。西方真個多供佛,石鼎中間香火紅。

三藏見了,點頭長嘆道:「我那東土,若有人也將泥胎塑這等大菩薩,燒香供養啊,我弟子也不去西天去矣。」正嘆息處,又到了二層山門之內。見有四大天王之像,乃是持國、多聞、增長、廣目,按東北西南風調雨順之意。進了二層門裡,又見有喬松四樹,一樹樹翠蓋蓬蓬,卻如傘狀。忽擡頭,乃是大雄寶殿。那長老合掌皈依,舒身下拜。拜罷起來,轉過佛臺,到於後門之下。又見有倒座觀音普度南海之像。那壁上都是良工巧匠裝塑的那些蝦、魚、蟹、鱉,出頭露尾,跳海水波潮耍子。長老又點頭三五度,感嘆萬千聲道:「可憐啊!鱗甲眾生都拜佛,為人何不肯修行?」

正讚嘆間,又見三門裡走出一個道人。那道人忽見三藏相貌稀奇,丰姿非俗,急趨步上前施禮道:「師父那裡來的?」三藏道:「弟子是東土大唐駕下差來,上西天拜佛求經的。今到寶方,天色將晚,告借一宿。」那道人道:「師父莫怪,我做不得主,我是這裡掃地、撞鐘、打勤勞的道人。裡面還有個管家的老師父哩,待我進去稟他一聲。他若留你,我就出來奉請;若不留你,我卻不敢羈遲。」三藏道:「累及你了。」

那道人急到方丈報道:「老爺,外面有個人來了。」那僧官即起身,換了衣服,按一按毘盧帽,披上袈裟,急開門迎接,問道人:「那裡人來?」道人用手指定道:「那正殿後邊不是一個人?」那三藏光著一個頭,穿一領二十五條達摩衣,足下登一雙拖泥帶水的達公鞋,斜倚在那後門首。僧官見了,大怒道:「道人少打!你豈不知我是僧官,但只有城上來的士夫降香,我方出來迎接?這等個和尚,你怎麼多虛少實,報我接他?看他那嘴臉,不是個誠實的,多是雲遊方上僧,今日天晚,想是要來借宿。我們方丈中,豈容他打攪?教他往前廊下蹲罷了,報我怎麼?」抽身轉去。

長老聞言,滿眼垂淚道:「可憐,可憐!這才是人離鄉賤。我弟子從小兒出家,做了和尚,又不曾拜懺吃葷生歹意,看經懷怒壞禪心;又不曾丟瓦拋磚傷佛殿,阿羅臉上剝真金。噫!可憐啊!不知是那世裡觸傷天地,教我今生常遇不良人。──和尚,你不留我們宿便罷了,怎麼又說這等憊懶話,教我們在前道廊下去蹲?此話不與行者說還好,若說了,那猴子進來,一頓鐵棒,把孤拐都打斷你的。」長老道:「也罷,也罷。常言道:『人將禮樂為先。』我且進去問他一聲,看他意下如何?」

那師父踏腳跡,跟他進方丈門裡。只見那僧官脫了衣服,氣呼呼的坐在那裡,不知是念經,又不知是與人家寫法事,見那桌案上有些紙劄堆積。唐僧不敢深入,就立於天井裡,躬身高叫道:「老院主,弟子問訊了。」那和尚就有些不耐煩他進裡邊來的意思,半答不答的還了個禮,道:「你是那裡來的?」三藏道:「弟子乃東土大唐駕下差來,上西天拜活佛求經的。經過寶方,天晚,求借一宿,明日不犯天光就行了。萬望老院主方便方便。」那僧官才欠起身來道:「你是那唐三藏麼?」三藏道:「不敢,弟子便是。」僧官道:「你既往西天取經,怎麼路也不會走?」三藏道:「弟子更不曾走貴處的路。」他道:「正西去,只有四五里遠近,有一座三十里店,店上有賣飯的人家,方便好宿。我這裡不便,不好留你們遠來的僧。」三藏合掌道:「院主,古人有云:『庵觀寺院,都是我方上人的館驛,見山門就有三升米分。』你怎麼不留我,卻是何情?」僧官怒聲叫道:「你這遊方的和尚,便是有些油嘴油舌的說話。」三藏道:「何為油嘴油舌?」僧官道:「古人云:『老虎進了城,家家都閉門。雖然不咬人,日前壞了名。』」三藏道:「怎麼『日前壞了名』?」他道:「向年有幾眾行腳僧,來於山門口坐下。是我見他寒薄,一個個衣破鞋無,光頭赤腳,我嘆他那般襤褸,即忙請入方丈,延之上坐,款待了齋飯,又將故衣各借一件與他,就留他住了幾日。怎知他貪圖自在衣食,更不思量起身,就住了七八個年頭。住便也罷,又幹出許多不公的事來。」三藏道:「有甚麼不公的事?」僧官道:「你聽我說:

閑時沿牆拋瓦,悶來壁上扳釘。冷天向火折窗櫺。夏日拖門攔徑。

幡布扯為腳帶,牙香偷換蔓菁。常將琉璃把油傾。奪碗奪鍋賭勝。」

三藏聽言,心中暗道:「可憐啊!我弟子可是那等樣沒脊骨的和尚?」欲待要哭,又恐那寺裡的老和尚笑他,但暗暗扯衣揩淚,忍氣吞聲,急走出去,見了三個徒弟。那行者見師父面上含怒,向前問:「師父,寺裡和尚打你來?」唐僧道:「不曾打。」八戒說:「一定打來;不是,怎麼還有些哭包聲?」那行者道:「罵你來?」唐僧道:「也不曾罵。」行者道:「既不曾打,又不曾罵,你這般苦惱怎麼?好道是思鄉哩?」唐僧道:「徒弟,他這裡不方便。」行者笑道:「這裡想是道士?」唐僧怒道:「觀裡才有道士,寺裡只是和尚。」行者道:「你不濟事。但是和尚,即與我們一般。常言道:『既在佛會下,都是有緣人。』你且坐,等我進去看看。」

好行者,按一按頂上金箍,束一束腰間裙子,執著鐵棒,徑到大雄寶殿上,指著那三尊佛像道:「你本是泥塑金裝假像,內裡豈無感應?我老孫保領大唐聖僧往西天拜佛求取真經,今晚特來此處投宿,趁早與我報名;假若不留我等,就一頓棍打碎金身,教你還現本相泥土。」

這大聖正在前邊發狠,搗叉子亂說,只見一個燒晚香的道人點了幾枝香,來佛前爐裡插。被行者咄的一聲,諕了一跌;爬起來看見臉,又是一跌;嚇得滾滾蹡蹡,跑入方丈裡,報道:「老爺,外面有個和尚來了。」那僧官道:「你這夥道人都少打。一行說教他往前廊下去蹲,又報甚麼?再說打二十。」道人說:「老爺,這個和尚比那個和尚不同:生得惡躁,沒脊骨。」僧官道:「怎的模樣?」道人道:「是個圓眼睛,查耳朵,滿面毛,雷公嘴。手執一根棍子,咬牙狠狠的,要尋人打哩。」僧官道:「等我出去看。」

他即開門,只見行者撞進來了。真個生得醜陋:七高八低孤拐臉,兩隻黃眼睛,一個磕額頭,獠牙往外生。就像屬螃蟹的,肉在裡面,骨在外面。那老和尚慌得把方丈門關了。行者趕上,撲的打破門扇,道:「趕早將乾淨房子打掃一千間,老孫睡覺。」僧官躲在房裡,對道人說:「怪他生得醜麼,原來是說大話折作的這般嘴臉。我這裡連方丈、佛殿、鐘鼓樓、兩廊,共總也不上三百間,他卻要一千間睡覺,卻打那裡來?」道人說:「師父,我也是嚇破膽的人了,憑你怎麼答應他罷。」那僧官戰索索的高叫道:「那借宿的長老,我這小荒山不方便,不敢奉留,往別處去宿罷。」

行者將棍子變得盆來粗細,直壁壁的豎在天井裡,道:「和尚,不方便,你就搬出去。」僧官道:「我們從小兒住的寺,師公傳與師父,師父傳與我輩,我輩要遠繼兒孫。他不知是那裡勾當,冒冒失失的,教我們搬哩。」道人說:「老爺,十分不尷尬,搬出去也罷,扛子打進門來了。」僧官道:「你莫胡說,我們老少眾人四五百名和尚,往那裡搬?搬出去,卻也沒處住。」行者聽見道:「和尚,沒處搬,便著一個出來打樣棍。」老和尚叫道人:「你出去與我打個樣棍來。」那道人慌了道:「爺爺呀!那等個大杠子,教我去打樣棍?」老和尚道:「『養軍千日,用軍一朝。』你怎麼不出去?」道人說:「那杠子莫說打來,若倒下來,壓也壓個肉泥。」老和尚道:「也莫要說壓,只道豎在天井裡,夜晚間走路,不記得啊,一頭也撞個大窟窿。」道人說:「師父,你曉得這般重,卻教我出去打甚麼樣棍?」他自家裡面轉鬧起來。

行者聽見道:「是也禁不得,假若就一棍打殺一個,我師父又怪我行兇了。且等我另尋一個甚麼打與你看看。」忽擡頭,只見方丈門外有一個石獅子,卻就舉起棍來,乒乓一下,打得粉亂麻碎。那和尚在窗眼兒裡看見,就嚇得骨軟觔麻,慌忙往床下拱;道人就往鍋門裡鑽,口中不住叫:「爺爺,棍重,棍重,禁不得,方便,方便!」行者道:「和尚,我不打你。我問你:這寺裡有多少和尚?」僧官戰索索的道:「前後是二百八十五房頭,共有五百個有度牒的和尚。」行者道:「你快去把那五百個和尚都點得齊齊整整,穿了長衣服出去,把我那唐朝的師父接進來,就不打你了。」僧官道:「爺爺,若是不打,便擡也擡進來。」行者道:「趁早去。」僧官叫道人:「你莫說嚇破了膽,就是嚇破了心,便也去與我叫這些人來,接唐僧老爺爺來。」

那道人沒奈何,捨了性命,不敢撞門,從後邊狗洞裡鑽將出去,徑到正殿上,東邊打鼓,西邊撞鐘。鐘鼓一齊響處,驚動了兩廊大小僧眾,上殿問道:「這早還不晚哩,撞鐘打鼓做甚?」道人說:「快換衣服,隨老師父排班,出山門外,迎接唐朝來的老爺。」那眾和尚真個齊齊整整,擺班出門迎接。有的披了袈裟;有的著了偏衫;無的穿著個一口鐘直裰;十分窮的,沒有長衣服,就把腰裙接起兩條披在身上。行者看見道:「和尚,你穿的是甚麼衣服?」和尚見他醜惡,道:「爺爺,不要打,等我說。這是我們城中化的布,此間沒有裁縫,是自家做的個一裹窮。」

行者聞言暗笑,押著眾僧,出山門外跪下。那僧官磕頭高叫道:「唐老爺,請方丈裡坐。」八戒看見道:「師父老大不濟事,你進去時,淚汪汪,嘴上掛得油瓶。師兄怎麼就有此獐智,教他們磕頭來接?」三藏道:「你這個獃子,好不曉禮。常言道:『鬼也怕惡人哩。』」唐僧見他們磕頭禮拜,甚是不過意,上前叫:「列位請起。」眾僧叩頭道:「老爺若和你徒弟說聲方便,不動杠子,就跪一個月也罷。」唐僧叫:「悟空,莫要打他。」行者道:「不曾打;若打,這會已打斷了根矣。」那些和尚卻才起身,牽馬的牽馬,挑擔的挑擔,擡著唐僧,馱著八戒,挽著沙僧,一齊都進山門裡去,卻到後面方丈中,依敘坐下。

眾僧卻又禮拜。三藏道:「院主請起,再不必行禮,作踐貧僧,我和你都是佛門弟子。」僧官道:「老爺是上國欽差,小和尚有失迎接。今到荒山,奈何俗眼不識尊儀,與老爺邂逅相逢。動問老爺:一路上是吃素?是吃葷?我們好去辦飯。」三藏道:「吃素。」僧官道:「徒弟,這個爺爺好的吃葷。」行者道:「我們也吃素,都是胎裡素。」那和尚道:「爺爺呀!這等兇漢也吃素?」有一個膽量大的和尚,近前又問:「老爺既然吃素,煮多少米的飯方夠吃?」八戒道:「小家子和尚,問甚麼?一家煮上一石米。」那和尚都慌了,便去刷洗鍋灶,各房中安排茶飯。高掌明燈,調開桌椅,管待唐僧。

師徒們都吃罷了晚齋,眾僧收拾了家火。三藏稱謝道:「老院主,打攪寶山了。」僧官道:「不敢,不敢。怠慢,怠慢。」三藏道:「我師徒卻在這裡安歇?」僧官道:「老爺不要忙,小和尚自有區處。」叫:「道人,那壁廂有幾個人聽使令的?」道人說:「師父,有。」僧官吩咐道:「你們著兩個去安排草料,與唐老爺喂馬。著幾個去前面把那三間禪堂,打掃乾淨鋪設床帳,快請老爺安歇。」

那些道人聽命,各各整頓齊備,卻來請唐老爺安寢。他師徒們牽馬挑擔,出方丈,徑至禪堂門首看處,只見那裡面燈火光明,兩梢間鋪著四張藤屜床。行者見了,喚那辦草料的道人,將草料擡來,放在禪堂裡面,拴下白馬,教道人都出去。三藏坐在中間。燈下,兩班兒立五百個和尚,都伺候著,不敢撤離。三藏欠身道:「列位請回,貧僧好自在安寢也。」眾僧決不敢退。僧官上前,吩咐大眾:「伏侍老爺安置了再回。」三藏道:「即此就是安置了,都就請回。」眾人卻才敢散去訖。

唐僧舉步出門小解,只見明月當天,叫:「徒弟。」行者、八戒、沙僧都出來侍立。因感這月清光皎潔,玉宇深沉,真是一輪高照,大地分明。對月懷歸,口占一首古風長篇。詩云:

皓魄當空寶鏡懸,山河搖影十分全。

瓊樓玉宇清光滿,冰鑑銀盤爽氣旋。

萬里此時同皎潔,一年今夜最明鮮。

渾如霜餅離滄海,卻似冰輪掛碧天。

別館寒窗孤客悶,山村野店老翁眠。

乍臨漢苑驚秋鬢,才到秦樓促晚奩。

庾亮有詩傳晉史,袁宏不寐泛江船。

光浮杯面寒無力,清映庭中健有仙。

處處窗軒吟白雪,家家院宇弄冰弦。

今宵靜玩來山寺,何日相同返故園?

行者聞言,近前答曰:「師父啊,你只知月色光華,心懷故里,更不知月家之意,乃先天法象之規繩也。月至三十日,陽魂之金散盡,陰魄之水盈輪,故純黑而無光,乃曰『晦』。此時與日相交,在晦朔兩日之間,感陽光而有孕。至初三日一陽現,初八日二陽生,魄中魂半,其平如繩,故曰『上弦』。至今十五日,三陽備足,是以團圓,故曰『望』。至十六日一陰生,二十二日二陰生,此時魂中魄半,其平如繩,故曰『下弦』。至三十日三陰備足,亦當『晦』。此乃先天採煉之意。我等若能溫養二八,九九成功,那時節,見佛容易,返故田亦易也。詩曰:

前弦之後後弦前,藥味平平氣象全。

採得歸來爐裡煉,志心功果即西天。」

那長老聽說,一時解悟,明徹真言。滿心歡喜,稱謝了悟空。沙僧在傍笑道:「師兄此言雖當,只說的是弦前屬陽,弦後屬陰,陰中陽半,得水之金;更不道:

水火相攙各有緣,全憑土母配如然。

三家同會無爭競,水在長江月在天。」

長老聞得,亦開茅塞。正是:

理明一竅通千竅,說破無生即是仙。

八戒上前扯住長老道:「師父,莫聽亂講,誤了睡覺。這月啊:

缺之不久又團圓,似我生來不十全。

吃飯嫌我肚子大,拿碗又說有黏涎。

他都伶俐修來福,我自痴愚積下緣。

我說你取經還滿三塗業,擺尾搖頭直上天。」

三藏道:「也罷,徒弟們走路辛苦,先去睡下。等我把這卷經來念一念。」行者道:「師父差了。你自幼出家,做了和尚,小時的經文,那本不熟?卻又領了唐王旨意,上西天見佛,求取大乘真典。如今功未完成,佛未得見,經未曾取,你念的是那卷經兒?」三藏道:「我自出長安,朝朝跋涉,日日奔波,小時的經文恐怕生了。幸今夜得閑,等我溫習溫習。」行者道:「既這等說,我們先去睡也。」他三人各往一張藤床上睡下。長老掩上禪堂門,高剔銀缸,鋪開經本,默默看念。正是那:

樓頭初鼓人煙靜,野浦漁舟火滅時。

畢竟不知那長老怎麼樣離寺,且聽下回分解。
