Who is the gold in Chenjiazhuang?

Have you heard of "Chenjiazhuang's One Scale of Gold"? It actually refers to Zhu Bajie. Originally, this "One Scale of Gold" was pretty good. A beautiful little girl, because of Zhu Bajie, she turned into her to fight monsters. Only then did "One Scale of Gold" become synonymous with Zhu Bajie. In Chenjiazhuang, Sun Wukong also turned into a little boy named Chen Guanbao.

The following are relevant chapters in "Journey to the West".

Chapter 47: The Holy Monk blocked the water flowing through the sky at night, and the gold and wood were kind enough to save the child

But it was said that the king was leaning on the dragon bed, tears welling up in his eyes, and he could not sleep until nightfall. . The traveler stepped forward and shouted: "Why are you so confused! I saw the corpses of the Taoist priest. One was a tiger, the other was a deer, and the sheep was an antelope. If you don't believe it, pick up the bones and see. There are people like that. Skeleton? He is a spirited mountain beast, and he is here to harm you, but he doesn't dare to do it because his Qi is still strong. If your Qi declines in another two years, he will kill you and take away your entire family. It all belongs to him. Fortunately, I came early and saved your life. Why are you crying? Send Guan Wen out quickly." The king realized this. The civil and military officials all reported: "The deceased is indeed a white deer and a yellow tiger, and the fruit in the oil pan is a sheep bone. You must listen to the words of the holy monk." The king said: "In this case, thank the holy monk. It is late today. "Teach the Grand Master and invite the holy monks to Zhiyuan Temple. Tomorrow morning, we will open the East Pavilion and teach Guanglu Temple to arrange a pure banquet to reward you." At five o'clock the next day, the king held court, gathered many officials, and issued a decree: "Hurry up and send out the recruitment notice, and hang it up at each of the four gates." A large banquet was arranged in one wall, and the carriages were driven out of the court to the gate of Zhiyuan Temple. In addition, Sanzang and others were invited to enter the East Pavilion for the banquet. But he said that when the monks who escaped from their lives heard that there was a list of monks, they all came to the city to find the great sage Sun, and paid a cent to express their gratitude. The elders broke up the banquet, and the king changed the customs and sent them out of the court with the queen and concubines, two civil and military detachments. I saw those monks knelt down and worshiped beside the road, saying: "Grandpa Qitian! We are the monks who escaped on the beach. I heard that grandpa wiped out the evildoers and rescued us, and my king came out to recruit monks, so I came here to pay the hair." "Kowtow to God for his grace." The traveler smiled and said, "How many of you have been here?" The monk said, "Five hundred, not less than half." The traveler shook his body, collected his hair, and said to the monarch, monks and laymen. The monk was really freed by Lao Sun, the chariot was smashed by Lao Sun through his puns, and the two demons were killed by Lao Sun. Now that we have eliminated the demons, we know that the Zen sect has a way, and it will never be the same again. I hope you will unify the three religions, respect the monks, respect Taoism, and cultivate talents. I will ensure that your country will last forever." The king thanked Tang Monk endlessly and sent Tang Monk out of the city.

This time I went here just to study the Tripitaka diligently and practice the One Element of Light diligently. Traveling at dawn and staying at night, thirsty for food and hungry for food, spring has ended and summer has faded before I know it, and the weather is autumn again. One day, when it was getting late, Tang Monk reined up his horse and said, "Apprentice, where can I stay tonight?" The traveler said, "Master, monks should not say the same things as lay people." Tripitaka said, "What about lay people? What about monks?" said the traveler. : "As a layperson, at this time, the warm bed is warm and the quilt is warm, with the child in my arms, my wife kicking behind my feet, and sleeping comfortably; I am waiting for the monks, where can I do it! I just have to carry the moon and stars, eat in the wind and stay in the water, and walk on the road as I find it, There is no way to live." Bajie said: "Brother, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. The road is very steep now, and it is really difficult for me to carry a heavy load. I need to find a place to get a good sleep and recuperate my spirit. It will be easier for me to bear the load tomorrow, otherwise, I won't be tired?" The traveler said: "We will take advantage of the moonlight to walk a little further and stay somewhere with people." The masters and disciples had no choice but to help each other. Followers move forward.

After walking for a short time, I could only hear the roar of the waves. Bajie said: "That's it! We've reached the end of the road!" Sha Monk said: "It's blocked by a stream of water." Tang Monk said: "But how can we cross?" Bajie said: "Let me try it and see how deep it is." Sanzang said: "Wuneng, please stop talking nonsense. How can you test the shallowness and depth of water?" Bajie said: "Find a pebble and throw it in the middle. If the water bubbles splash, it is shallow; if all the bones sink, there is a sound. "Deep." The traveler said, "Go and try it." The idiot touched a stubborn stone on the roadside and threw it into the water.

He said: "Deep, deep! You can't go!" Tang Monk said:

"Although you have tried the depth, you don't know how wide it is." Bajie said: "I don't know this, I don't know." The traveler said: "Wait for me to see." The great sage jumped in the air with somersaults, and looked intently, but he saw: the moon was soaked in bright light, and the vast shadows were floating in the sky. The Ling sect swallowed up Huayue and flowed through hundreds of rivers. Thousands of turbulent waves are rolling, and thousands of steep waves are cresting. There are no fishing fires at the shore, but there are herons sleeping on the sand head.

The confusion is like the sea, and it is even more boundless as far as the eye can see. He hurriedly collected the clouds, pressed down to the riverside and said: "Master, it's so wide, so wide! You can't go! Old Sun has piercing eyes. He can often see thousands of miles during the day, and he knows when something is going to be bad or good. He can still see three to five hundred miles at night. Now he can't see everything. How can we determine the width of the shore?"

Sanzang was shocked and couldn't speak, and his voice choked up: "Apprentice, what's wrong with this?" Sha Monk said, "Master, don't cry. Look, that person standing by the water is not a human being." The traveler said: "I think it's the fisherman who pulls the reel. Wait until I ask him to come." He took the iron rod and ran in two or three steps. Look in front of you, ah! It's not a person, it's a stone tablet. There are three large characters in seal script on the stele, and there are ten small characters in the two lines below. The three big characters are "Tongtian River", and the ten small characters are "a journey of eight hundred miles, a journey of few people from ancient times". The traveler called: "Master, come and have a look." Sanzang saw it and said with tears: "Apprentice, when I left Chang'an, I only said that it is easy to travel to the west, but I know that the demons are blocking the way and the mountains and rivers are far away!" Bajie said: "Master "Listen, where is the sound of cymbals? I think it's someone who is doing the fasting. Let's go get some food and find a ferry to go there tomorrow." Sanzang immediately heard the sound of cymbals. "But it's not a Taoist musical instrument. It's just a matter of my monk's family. We'll come and go." The traveler led the horse in front, and the group heard the sound and came. There is a very straight road there, neither high nor low. Over the beach, you can see a cluster of people's residences. There are about four to five hundred homes, but they all live well. But they can see the road leaning against the mountain and the river. Everywhere is covered with firewood, and every house is covered with bamboo. The dream of the heron on the sand head is clear, and the cuckoo outside the willow has a cold mouthpiece. The piccolo is silent and the cold anvil has no rhyme. The red polygon branches shake the moon, and the yellow reed leaves fight the wind. In the streets and villages, dogs bark and fences are sparse, and at the ferry, old fishermen sleep in fishing boats. The lights are sparse, the crowds are quiet, and the bright moon in the sky is like a hanging mirror. Suddenly I smelled the fragrance of white apples, but it was the west wind blowing across the bank.

Sanzang dismounted and saw a family on the road. A streamer was erected outside the door. There were bright lights and candles inside, and the fragrance of incense was fragrant. Sanzang said: "Wukong, this place is different from that by the mountain and the river. Under the eaves of the human world, you can be shielded from the cold dew and sleep peacefully. Don't come here. Let me go to the Zhai Gongmen first to pray. "If you are willing to keep me, I will greet you; if you don't, don't act recklessly. You may be bluffing and get into trouble, but you won't have a place to live." That makes sense. Please go ahead, Master, and we will wait here." The elder took off his hat, shook his robe, and walked to the door with his tin stick in tow. He saw that the door was ajar. , Sanzang did not dare to trespass. While we were chatting, we saw an old man walking out, with a few beads hanging around his neck, chanting Amitabha Buddha, and then came to close the door. The panicked elder clasped his hands and shouted: "Old donor, this poor monk has asked for information." The old man returned the greeting:

"You are a monk, but you are late." Sanzang said: "What do you say?" The old man said: "You are late and there is nothing. Come early, I will leave the fasting monk and eat as much as I can. I have three liters of cooked rice. A piece of white cloth and ten copper coins. Why did you come here at this time?" Sanzang bowed and said, "Old donor, this poor monk is not going to fast." The old man said, "If you don't go to fast, why are you here?" Sanzang said: "I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty from the East who went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. When I arrived at your place today, it was getting late. I could hear the sound of drums and cymbals in my house, so I came here to ask for a place to stay for one night. I can do it at dawn." The old man waved his hand and said, "Monk , monks, don’t tell lies. It’s 54,000 miles from the Eastern Land to me. How can you, a single person, come here?” Sanzang said, “The old benefactor is the best, but I still have three disciples. The old man said: "Since you have a disciple, why don't you come?" The teacher said, "Please, please, I have a place to rest." Sanzang turned around and called out. Disciple, come here." The traveler was originally impatient, Bajie was rude by nature, but Sha Monk was also reckless. The three of them heard the master's call, led the horse, and carried the load without caring about good or bad. A gust of wind rushed in.

When the old man saw it, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground. He only said, "The monster is coming! The monster is coming!" Sanzang helped him up and said, "Don't be afraid, donor. He is not a monster, but my disciple." The old man said tremblingly: " How could such a handsome master find such an ugly disciple?" Sanzang said, "Although he is not good-looking, he can subdue dragons and tigers, and catch monsters." The old man seemed to believe it or not, and helped Tang Monk walk slowly.

But it was said that the three fierce naughty men broke into the living room, tied the horses and threw away the luggage. There were several monks chanting sutras in the hall. Bajie held his long mouth and shouted: "What sutra are you reciting, monk?" Those monks heard the question and suddenly raised their heads to look at the outsider. They had long mouths and big ears. His body is thick, his back is broad, and his voice is like thunder. The appearance of the monk and the monk is even uglier. All the monks in the hall were afraid. Zha Li is still reciting the sutra, and the leader of the class teaches him to stop. It is difficult to care about chimes and bells, and the Buddha statue is left behind. We blew out the lamps together, and the light suddenly scattered. Falling and climbing, the threshold has never been crossed! Your head hits my head, like an inverted gourd stand. A good Taoist temple is turned into a big joke.

When the three brothers saw those people stumbling, they clapped their hands and laughed. The monks became more and more frightened, kowtowed and bumped their heads, thinking about their lives, and ran away. Sanzang helped the old man and walked into the hall. There were no lights, and the three of them were still laughing. Tang's monk scolded: "This is a very bad thing! I have been teaching and admonishing every day. The ancients said that being good without teaching is not a saint!

Teaching and then being good is not a virtuous person! The teaching is not good, it is not stupid! You are acting like this, you are really the lowest level of stupidity! When you walk in, you frighten the old benefactor, scare away the chanting monks, and ruin other people's good deeds. Isn't it because of me?" They didn't dare to reply. The old man believed that he was his disciple. He turned around and said salute: "Master, it's nothing important. It's nothing important, so I turned off the lights and scattered the flowers. The Buddhist services are about to be collected." Bajie said, "Now that the account has been settled, let's put out the After breakfast, we ate and slept." The old man shouted: "Come on, hold the lamp!"

The family members made a fuss and said, "There are many incense candles in the hall, how can we teach you to hold the lamp again? ?" When a few servants came out to look at this dark hole, they even lit up lanterns and swarmed in. Suddenly they looked up and saw Bajie Sha Seng. They were so panicked that they threw away their torches. They suddenly pulled away and closed the middle door, shouting inside: "The monster is coming! The monster is coming!"

The traveler picked up the torch, lit the candle, pulled up a high chair, and asked Tang Monk to sit on it. His brothers sat on both sides, and the old man sat on Front. While we were sitting in the conversation, we heard the inner door open, and an old man walked out, leaning on a cane and saying, "What kind of evil spirit is coming to my Shanmen home in the dark?" The old man sitting in front stood up in a hurry and came to meet behind the screen door. He said: "Brother, don't yell. They are not evil spirits, but Arhats who studied scriptures in the Eastern Tang Dynasty. Although the disciples look fierce, they really do evil and good." The old man just put down his stick and saluted the four of them. After the ceremony, he also sat down in front of him and called out: "Here comes the tea. Let's arrange the meal." After calling several times, several servants were too frightened to close the tent. Bajie couldn't help but asked: "Old man, why do you want to go both ways with such a high price?" The old man said: "Teach them to hold a meal to serve the master." Bajie said: "How many people are waiting for you?" The old man said: "Eight people. "Which one of these eight people will serve you?" Bajie said, "The white-faced master only needs one person; the ugly-faced one only needs two people." It takes eight people; I need twenty people to serve Fang Yu." The old man said, "I think you have a bigger stomach." Bajie said, "I can see it." The old man said, "There are people." Someone." Thirty or forty people, seven large and eight small, were called out.

Only then did the monk and the old man speak with questions and answers, and everyone was not afraid. But a table was arranged above, and Tang Monk was invited to sit on it; three tables were placed on both sides, and three of him were invited to sit; and two old men were seated at the table in front. Arrange the vegetarian fruits and vegetables first, then noodles, rice, snacks, and soup, all arranged neatly. Elder Tang raised his chopsticks and read a volume of "Qi Zhai Sutra" first. The idiot was a little eager to eat first, and a little hungry secondly. He waited for Tang Monk to finish his sutra, took the red lacquered wooden bowl, threw a bowl of white rice into his mouth, and that was it.

The young man next to him said: "This master has no calculation. He didn't hold the steamed buns. How come he took the rice but didn't stain his clothes?" Bajie said with a smile: "I didn't hold the steamed buns, but I ate them."

"Walker said: "That one's son? "The old man said:

"My brother-in-law has a son who is also out of town. He is seven years old this year. He is called Chen Guanbao. The traveler asked: "Why did you choose this name?" "The old man said: "My family supports Grandpa Guan Sheng. Because I asked for this son under the title of Guan Ye, he is named Guanbao. My two brothers are one hundred and two years old. They are the only two people of this race. They will not take turns. Come to my house to offer sacrifices, so I dare not not offer them. Therefore, the love between father and son is difficult to separate and let go. First, he and his child make a place of transcendence, so they are called those who practice the fast of death in advance. "When Sanzang heard this, he couldn't help but shed tears on his cheeks and said: "This is exactly what the ancients said, if the yellow plums do not fall and the green ones fall, God will harm no one. The traveler smiled and said, "Wait until I ask him again." Old man, how many rich people do you have in your house? "The old man said: "There are quite a few. There are forty or fifty hectares of paddy fields, sixty or seventy hectares of dry fields, eighty or ninety pastures, two to three hundred water buffaloes, thirty or twenty donkeys and horses, pigs, sheep, chickens and geese. countless. There is also old food under the house that cannot be eaten and clothes that cannot be worn. The family property and property are also numerous. "The traveler said: "This kind of family fortune is due to you. The old man said: "How can you see me in the province?" "The traveler said: "Since you have this kind of property, how can you be willing to sacrifice your own children? If you spend fifty taels of silver, you can buy a virgin; if you spend a hundred taels of silver, you can buy a virgin, but you can't even wrap it with two hundred taels of silver, but you can leave your own children and descendants, isn't it good? The second elder said with tears in his eyes: "Master!" You don't know, that king is such an inspiration, he often comes to our house and walks around. The traveler said: "When he comes to walk, what do you see about his face?" How long is it? "The second elder said: "I couldn't see its shape, but only smelled a gust of incense, and I knew that Grandpa Wang was coming. He was busy burning incense in buckets, and young and old looked at the wind and bowed down. He knows everything about our family, whether it is a big spoon or a small bowl, and he remembers the years when the children were born. As long as you have your own children, others will be able to use them. Not to mention that there is nowhere to buy two or three hundred taels, even if it is tens of millions of taels, there is no place to buy such identical children of the same year and month. The traveler said: "So it turns out that this is fine. You can take your son out and let me take a look." "Then Chen Qing rushed inside, took Guan Bao'er out of the hall, and placed him in front of the lamp. The child didn't know whether it was life or death. He was holding two sleeves of fruit, dancing, eating and playing. When the traveler saw him, he silently recited a spell. , transformed into Guan Bao'er's appearance. The two children held hands and danced in front of the lamp, making the old man lie and kneel down and say: "Master, you are not a human being!" Not a son of man! This old man just spoke, why did he turn into the appearance of my son? Call him, and let's go together! But it shortened our lifespan! Please show me your true colors! Please show me your true colors! The traveler wiped his face and revealed his true colors. The old man knelt in front of him and said:

"Master, it turns out that I have such ability." The traveler smiled and said: "Is it like your son?" The old man said:

"Like Xiang Xiang! Sure enough! The face is the same, the voice is the same, the clothes are the same, and the length is the same." The traveler said, "You haven't looked carefully yet. Weigh it on a scale. It's the same weight as him." The old man said, "Yes, yes, it's the same weight." The traveler said: "Can such a sacrifice be worth it?" The old man said: "It's so good! It's so good!" It’s a worthy sacrifice! "The traveler said: "I will save this child's life and leave your cigarettes for future generations. I will go to sacrifice the great King Saina. "Then Chen Qing knelt down and kowtowed and said:

"If you are merciful, I will give you a thousand taels of silver and make arrangements with Master Tang to go to the west. "The traveler said: "Why don't you thank Lao Sun? "The old man said: "You have been sacrificed, and I am gone without you. The traveler said: "How come it's gone?" The old man said: "Then the king ate it." "The traveler said:

"He dares to eat me? The old man said: "If I don't eat you, it will taste fishy to me." The traveler smiled and said, "If you follow the destiny of heaven, if you eat me, my life will be short; if you don't eat, it will be my fate." I will compete with you. "

Chen Qing just kowtowed to thank him and promised to give him five hundred taels of silver. However, Chen Cheng did not kowtow or say thank you. He just leaned against the screen door and cried bitterly. The traveler knew this and stepped forward to pull it. Zhu said:

"Boss, you don't allow me or thank me. Do you think you can't bear to part with your daughter? Chen Chengcai knelt down and said, "I can't bear to do it. I dare to accept the kindness of the master and save my nephew."

But he was just old and childless. Even after I died, he cried bitterly. How could he let go of her? "The traveler said: "Go and steam five buckets of rice, prepare some good vegetarian dishes, eat them with my long-mouthed master, and teach him to become your daughter. My brother will go to the sacrifice with you, and I will simply perform a yin stallion to save you. How about the lives of two children? "When Bajie heard this, he was shocked and said: "Brother, if you want to get excited, you will grab me regardless of my life or death. "The traveler said:

"My dear brother, as the saying goes, chickens don't eat food without work. You and I come in and express our gratitude to Shengzhai. You still complain that you don’t have enough to eat. Why don’t you help others in their troubles? Bajie said, "Brother, you can change, but I can't." "Walker said: "You also have thirty-six changes, why can't you? Tang Monk called out: "Wuneng, your senior brother is right. He is doing a great job." As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. One is to thank you for your kindness, and the other is to accumulate your kindness. It's a cool night and your brother is having fun. Bajie said: "Look at what Master said!" I can only change mountains into trees, stones into leprous elephants, buffalo into a big fat man, it's okay, but if I change into a little girl, it's a bit difficult. "The traveler said: "Boss, don't trust him. Take your daughter out to see her. "Then Chen Cheng rushed inside and carried a golden child to the hall. The whole family, including wives and concubines, old and young, all came out to kowtow, asking only to save the child's life. The daughter wore an eight treasures on her head. The beaded flower-green hoop is worn on the body, a red and yellow silk jacket, and an official green satin checkerboard collar cape; a large red flower silk skirt is tied around the waist, and a pair of light red toad heads are worn under the feet. Silk shoes, two gold knee-length trousers on her legs, and some fruit on her sleeves. The traveler said, "Bajie, this is the girl. You will soon become like him. Let's go to the festival." Bajie said: "Brother, he is so small and handsome, how can he change?" The traveler shouted: "Hurry up!"

Don’t ask for a beating! Bajie lied and said, "Brother, don't hit me. Wait until I change." "The idiot recited a spell, shook his head a few times, and shouted, "Change! "After the transformation, she looks like a girl, but with a fat belly, unlike a husband and wife. The traveler smiled and said: "Change again! Bajie said:

"It's up to you to fight!" Can't change, what can I do? The traveler said: "Mo Cheng is the girl's head and the monk's body?" How can it be a good thing to have such a mixed situation? You can set up a gang. "

He blew him a breath of fairy air, and sure enough, his body immediately changed and he was like that child. He then taught: "Two old men, bring your precious family members and your son and daughter in, don't make a mistake. After a while at home, my brother was hiding and trying to be nice. He walked in and was hard to recognize. You give him the good fruit to eat, but don't make him cry, lest the king suddenly realizes it and goes away, waiting for me and me to play tricks! "

The great sage asked Sha Monk to protect Tang Monk. He turned into Chen Guanbao, and Bajie turned into a scale of gold. Both of them were ready, but asked: "How to offer?" Or should I be tied up? Should I be tied up? Steamed or minced? Bajie said: "Brother, don't mess with me. I don't have the means." The old man said: "Don't dare!" Just use two red lacquered alchemy trays, ask the two of you to sit in the trays, put them on the table, and let two young men carry a table to carry you up to the temple. The traveler said: "Okay, okay!" Get the plate out and let's try it. "The old man immediately took out two alchemy trays, and the traveler and Bajie sat on them. The four young men lifted the two tables, walked into the courtyard, and then carried them back to the hall. The traveler said happily: "Bajie, like this. After walking around and playing, we are also monks on the stage. Bajie said: "If you carry it away and then carry it back, I won't be afraid if you carry it on both sides until dawn. But if you carry it to the temple, you have to eat it. This is not a joke!" "Walker said: "You just looked at me, and when you rowed to eat me, you just left. Bajie said, "Do you know how he eats it?" If I eat the virgin first, I will be able to run away; if I eat the virgin first, what will happen to me? "The old man said: "During the annual sacrifices, I have a bold person who hides behind the temple or under the altar table and sees him eating the boys first and then the girls. Bajie said: "Good fortune!" good fortune! While the brothers were talking, they heard loud gongs and drums and bright lights outside. Everyone in the village opened the front door and shouted, "Bring out the boys and girls!" The old man cried, and the four young men carried the two of them out. I don't know what life is like, let's listen to the next chapter.
