第55集:
Everybody, wake up!” called Wukong.
The travelers had camped for a night
in the woods. The Tang Monk woke up
and stretched. Wujing opened his eyes and
yawned.
Bajie moaned, “It’s too early. Let me
sleep just a few more hours.”
“Bajie, don’t be lazy,” said the Tang
Monk. “It’s time to get up. Please start
making breakfast.”
The pig got to his feet. “All we do is
work,” he said. “Cook food . . . carry bags . . .
walk, walk, walk!”
“We’re on a noble mission,” said Wujing.
“Because of our difficult journey, the Tang
Empire will have the True Scriptures. You
should be happy to do all this work.”
After a quick breakfast, the group started
walking. They went through a valley and
over some hills. Later that afternoon they
heard yelling.
“It sounds like some people are in
trouble,” said the Tang Monk.
Wujing nodded. “Yes. I wonder what’s
going on.”
“You all wait here,” said Wukong. “I’ll go
and investigate.”
The monkey leaped into the air and
looked around. He saw a group of Buddhist
monks pushing a cart up a steep hill. The
cart was loaded with big stones. The monks
looked miserable. Their robes were dirty and
ripped.
Two Daoist priests stood nearby. They
were dressed in fine clothes.
“Work faster!” yelled one of the priests.
The Buddhists looked frightened. They
struggled to move the cart faster.
“Why are those monks pushing that cart?”
thought Wukong. “And why are they scared
of the Daoists?”
The monkey waited for the Daoists to
leave. Then he made himself look like a
Buddhist monk.
“Hello,” said Wukong, walking toward
the group of monks. “Why are you pushing
this cart?”
The monks stopped pushing the cart
and turned toward Wukong. They looked
surprised.
“You must be new here,” one monk said.
“You should leave before you’re discovered.”
“Why?” asked Wukong.
“Daoists are in charge here,” said another
monk.
Wukong shrugged. “People from different
religions can still get along.”
“Not in this kingdom,” said the first
monk. “Buddhists are treated horribly here.
The Daoists make us do hard work.”
“Why do the Daoists treat you so badly?”
asked Wukong.
“Years ago this kingdom had a drought,”
said the monk. “Crops died and people
starved. Buddhist monks prayed to Buddha
for rain. But no rain came.”
“One day a powerful Daoist arrived,”
said the other monk. “He’s called the Tiger
Immortal. He recited prayers, and right
away rain fell. Since then Daoists have been
in charge. They destroyed all the Buddhist
monasteries and statues.”
“That’s terrible,” said Wukong. “Those
Daoists can’t get away with this.”
“The Daoists won’t treat us this way
forever,” said a third monk. “The spirit of the
planet Venus visited us in a dream one night.
He said that one day someone would come
along to save us.”
“Oh really?” Wukong raised an eyebrow.
“Who is going to save you?”
“A fierce monkey spirit,” said the monk.
“His name is Sun Wukong. He is so powerful
that Heaven’s entire army couldn’t defeat
him!”
Wukong smiled. “I’ve heard of Sun
Wukong. And it’s true that he’s very powerful.
Did Venus tell you what he looks like?”
“Oh yes,” said the monk.
“So you’ll recognize him if you see him?”
asked Wukong, trying not to laugh.
“Certainly,” said the monk. “Why do you
ask?”
Light sparkled around Wukong. A
moment later he was a monkey again.
“Sun Wukong!” cried the monks. They all
fell to their knees and bowed.
