却说三藏自贞观十三年九月望前三日,蒙唐王与多官送出长安关外。一二日马不停蹄,早至法门寺。本寺住持上房长老,带领众僧有五百余人,两边罗列,接至里面,相见献茶。茶罢进斋,斋后不觉天晚。正是那:

Under the lamplight the monks discussed the fixed doctrines of the Buddhist gate and the reasons for going to the Western Heaven to fetch the scriptures: some said the waters were far and the mountains high, some said the road was full of tigers and leopards;some said the steep ridges and sheer cliffs were hard to cross, some said the poisonous demons and evil spirits were hard to subdue.Sanzang held his tongue and said nothing, only pointing his hand at his own heart and nodding his head several times.:「?」:「The monks could not fathom his meaning, and pressed their palms together to ask: "When the Master points at his heart and nods, what does it mean?" Sanzang answered: "When the heart is born, all manner of demons are born;when the heart is extinguished, all manner of demons are extinguished.I, your disciple, once vowed a great vow before the Buddha at Huasheng Temple, and I cannot help but exhaust my heart in this.。」:「!」On this journey I am resolved to reach the Western Heaven, to see the Buddha and seek the scriptures, so that our Wheel of the Law may turn again, and I pray that the sacred lord's imperial reign may stand firm forever." When the monks heard these words, every one of them admired him, every one of them spread the word, and all cried out together: "A loyal and true-hearted master who greatly proclaims the Law!" Their praise was endless, and they invited the Master to his bed to rest.

众僧们灯下议论佛门定旨,上西天取经的原由:有的说水远山高,有的说路多虎豹;有的说峻岭陡崖难度,有的说毒魔恶怪难降。三藏箝口不言,但以手指自心,点头几度。众僧们莫解其意,合掌请问道:「法师指心点头者,何也?」三藏答曰:「心生,种种魔生;心灭,种种魔灭。我弟子曾在化生寺对佛说下洪誓大愿,不由我不尽此心。这一去,定要到西天,见佛求经,使我们法轮回转,愿圣主皇图永固。」众僧闻得此言,人人称羡,个个宣扬,都叫一声:「忠心赤胆大阐法师!」夸赞不尽,请师入榻安寐。

Before long the bamboo clappers sounded as the waning moon set, and the cocks crowed as the dawn clouds arose.The monks rose and prepared tea, water, and the morning meal.:「Xuanzang then put on his cassock, went up to the main hall, and bowed before the Buddha, saying: "Your disciple Chen Xuanzang is going to the Western Heaven to fetch the scriptures, but with my foolish mortal eyes I cannot recognize the true form of a living Buddha.Now I vow: on the road, whenever I meet a temple I will burn incense, whenever I meet a Buddha I will bow, and whenever I meet a pagoda I will sweep it.。」I only pray that our Buddha in his mercy will soon reveal his golden body sixteen feet tall, and bestow the true scriptures, to be handed down to the Eastern Land." When the prayer was done, he returned to the abbot's quarters for the meal.When the meal was over, the two attendants readied the saddle and horse and hastened the journey onward.Sanzang went out through the mountain gate and took leave of the monks.The monks, unable to bear the parting, escorted him a full ten li before turning back with tears in their eyes.Sanzang then pressed straight onward to the west.It was just the season of late autumn, and behold:

Sanzang said: "This poor monk's attendants have already been eaten by the demons.?」:「?」I only do not know where my baggage and horse are."

Sanzang, giving no thought to his own life, climbed up onto that steep ridge.He traveled half a day and still saw no trace of human dwelling or village.First, his stomach was hungry; second, the road was uneven.Just at this critical moment, he saw two fierce tigers roaring in front of him, and behind him several long snakes coiling.To his left were venomous insects, to his right monstrous beasts.Sanzang, alone and without any plan, could only surrender body and mind and let Heaven decide his fate.To make matters worse, the horse's legs went weak and its hooves buckled, and it sank down to its knees, lying prostrate on the ground — beat it and it would not rise, pull it and it would not move.The Master was in such distress that he had nowhere to turn, truly in ten thousand degrees of misery, and had already resigned himself to certain death, utterly helpless.

Sanzang said: "This poor monk is an imperial envoy under the Great Tang, a monk going to the Western Heaven to worship the Buddha and seek the scriptures.Just now, coming to this place, I met with wolves, tigers, snakes, and insects surrounding me on every side, and could go no further.。」:「Then suddenly you came, Taibao, and all the beasts fled, saving this poor monk's life — my thanks, my thanks." Boqin said: "I live here and make my living entirely by hunting wolves and tigers, catching snakes and insects to get by, and that is why the beasts fear me and ran off.Since you have come from the Tang court, you and I are from the same homeland.This place is still within the borders of the Great Tang, and I too am a subject of the Tang, and you and I both eat of the emperor's land and water — we are truly people of one nation.。」Do not be afraid; come with me, rest your horse at my cottage, and tomorrow morning I will send you on your way." Hearing this, Sanzang was filled with joy, thanked Boqin, and led his horse along after him.

When they had sat down and tea was finished, an old woman came in leading a young wife, to pay their respects to Sanzang.:「。」:「。」:「。」:「Bo-qin said: "This is my mother, and my young wife." Sanzang said: "Pray ask your honored mother to be seated above, that this poor monk may pay his respects." The old woman said: "You, elder, are a guest from afar; each of us should look to ourselves — there is no need to trouble with bows." Bo-qin said: "Mother, he is one sent by the Tang emperor's court, dispatched to the Western Heaven to see the Buddha and seek the scriptures.。」:「Just now I met him at the ridge-top, and thinking of him as a man from a whole country away, I invited him home to rest his horse; tomorrow I shall send him on his way." When the old woman heard this, she was overjoyed and said: "Good, good, good.Even had we invited him on purpose, it could not have fallen out so fittingly.。」Tomorrow is the anniversary of your father's death; you should just trouble the elder to perform some good deeds, recite a scroll of scripture, and see him off the day after." Now this Liu Bo-qin, though he was a tiger-slayer and a Guardian of the Mountain, nevertheless had a filial heart in him.On hearing his mother's words, he at once wished to prepare incense and paper, and to keep Sanzang there.

As they talked, before they knew it the sky was growing dark.The servants set out tables and benches, and brought several platters of well-stewed tiger meat, steaming hot, and set them on the table.Bo-qin asked Sanzang to make do with this for now, and said he would prepare another meal separately.:「Sanzang, palms joined before his chest, said: "Merciful Heaven!。」:「This poor monk will not deceive you, Taibao — from the moment I left my mother's womb I became a monk, and I have never once known how to eat meat." On hearing this, Bo-qin fell silent and pondered a good while, then said: "Elder, in this humble household, for generations past, we have never known how to eat vegetarian food.Even what bamboo shoots we gather, what wood-ears we pick, what dried greens we find, what bean curd we make — all of it is fried in the fat of roe deer, deer, tiger, or leopard; there is truly nowhere in the house that is free of meat.Both our cooking pots and stoves, too, are thoroughly soaked through with grease.What is to be done about this?。」:「It is rather I who have wronged you, elder, in inviting you." Sanzang said: "Taibao, do not trouble your mind over it further; pray eat and enjoy as you please.。」:「?」:「。」As for this poor monk, even if I go without food for three or five days, I can bear the hunger — only I dare not break my fast and precepts." Bo-qin said: "But what if you should starve to death — what then?" Sanzang said: "Thanks to the grace of Heaven through you, Taibao, who rescued me from the midst of the wolves and tigers — even should I starve to death, it would still be better than being food for a tiger."

Sanzang came down and gave thanks, and only then took his seat.

那伯钦另设一处,铺排些没盐没酱的老虎肉、香獐肉、蟒蛇肉、狐狸肉、兔肉,点剁鹿肉干巴,满盘满碗的陪著三藏吃斋。方坐下,心欲举箸,只见三藏合掌诵经,諕得个伯钦不敢动箸,急起身立在旁边。三藏念不数句,却教请斋。伯钦道:「你是个念短头经的和尚?」三藏道:「此非是经,乃是一卷揭斋之咒。」伯钦道:「你们出家人,偏有许多计较,吃饭便也念诵念诵。」

When the meal was finished, the bowls and plates were cleared away, and gradually the sky grew dark.Bo-qin led Sanzang out of the central house to take a walk out back.Passing through a covered walkway, they came to a thatched pavilion.They pushed open the door and went inside.There on the four walls hung several strong bows and hard crossbows, with a number of quivers of arrows stuck up;across the crossbeam were slung two bloodstained tiger skins;along the foot of the wall were stuck many spears, swords, forks, and cudgels;and in the very center were set two seats.Bo-qin invited Sanzang to sit a while.Seeing how fierce and forbidding, how sordid the place was, Sanzang dared not sit long, and so came out of the thatched pavilion.Going on further to the rear, they came to a great garden, where the eye could not take in all at once the clustered chrysanthemums heaped up in yellow, and tree after tree of maple and poplar hung with red.Then they heard a sudden whooshing sound, and out ran a dozen or so plump deer and a great herd of yellow roe deer, which, on seeing the men, only stared about foolishly and showed no fear at all.:「?」:「Sanzang said: "These roe deer and stags — I suppose Taibao raises them at home?" Bo-qin said: "It is like the people in your city of Chang'an — those with money amass treasure, those with manor lands store up grain.。」We who hunt for a living can only gather and raise wild beasts, to have them ready against a lean season." The two of them talked as they walked at their leisure, and before they knew it dusk had fallen, so they turned back to the front house to rest.

:「Now it happened that the spirit of Bo-qin's deceased father, delivered by these rites and freed from his suffering in the underworld, had his ghost return that very night to the family home, where he appeared in a dream to the whole household, young and old, saying: "In the underworld I was suffering hardship I could not escape, and for a long time I could not be reborn.Now, fortunately, thanks to the holy monk who recited the scriptures, my sins and karma have been dissolved, and the King of the Underworld has sent someone to escort me up to the rich lands of China, to be reborn into a family of standing.You must be sure to thank and see off the elder properly — do not be remiss, do not be remiss.。」I go now." And truly it was thus: the myriad rites of Dharma, solemn and grand, have their purpose indeed — delivering the dead from suffering, freeing them from their sunken state.The whole household awoke from the dream just as the sun was already rising in the east.:「Bo-qin's wife said: "Taibao, last night I dreamed that Father-in-law came home, and said that in the underworld he suffered hardship he could not escape, and for a long time could not be reborn.Now, fortunately, thanks to the holy monk reciting the scriptures, his sins and karma have been dissolved, and the King of the Underworld has sent someone to escort him up to the rich lands of China, to be reborn into a family of standing, and he told us to thank that elder properly, and not to be remiss toward him.Having said this, he went straight out the door and wandered off at ease.We called to him and he did not answer; we tried to keep him and could not.。」:「When I awoke, it was but a dream." Bo-qin said: "I too had just such a dream, the very same as yours.。」:「。」:「。」:「。」:「。」:「?」Let us go and tell Mother." Just as husband and wife were about to go and tell her, they heard the old mother calling: "Bo-qin, my son, come here — I have something to tell you." The two went before her, and the old mother, sitting up in bed, said: "My child, this night I had a joyful dream — I dreamed your father came home, and said that thanks to the elder's rites of deliverance, his sins and karma had already been dissolved, and he was going up to the rich lands of China, to be reborn into a family of standing." Husband and wife both burst out laughing and said: "My wife and I both had this very dream, and were just coming to report it, never expecting that Mother would call us for the very same dream." So the whole household, young and old, was roused, and preparations were made to express their gratitude; they got the horse ready for him, and all came before Sanzang to bow in thanks, saying: "We are endlessly grateful to you, elder, for delivering our departed father from suffering and granting him rebirth." Sanzang said: "What ability has this poor monk, that he should deserve such thanks?"

Bo-qin recounted to Sanzang in full the dream-words of the three of them, and Sanzang too was glad.They soon set out a vegetarian meal, and further prepared one tael of silver as a gift of thanks.Sanzang would not accept a single coin of it.The whole family pressed and entreated him most earnestly, but in the end Sanzang accepted not a single coin.:「。」He said only: "That you were willing to show such compassion and see me on my way a stretch is thanks enough to move me deeply." Bo-qin and his mother and wife, having no other choice, hurriedly made up some coarse wheat-flour baked cakes as dry provisions, and had Bo-qin escort him a good distance.Sanzang joyfully accepted these.The Taibao, having received his mother's instructions, further called two or three house servants, each bringing hunting gear, and together they set out upon the great road.They could not take in all the wild scenery of the mountains, the fine views along the ridges.

After traveling half a day, they saw before them a great mountain, truly towering up to touch the blue heavens, lofty and precipitous.In no time at all Sanzang reached its foot.:「。」:「。」:「The Taibao climbed this mountain as though walking on level ground; just as they had come to the middle of the slope, Bo-qin turned back and, standing below the path, said: "Elder, please go on ahead by yourself — I must now take my leave and turn back." On hearing this, Sanzang slid down off his saddle and said: "I beg you most earnestly, Taibao, to trouble yourself to see me a little further still." Bo-qin said: "Elder, you do not know.This mountain is called Liangjie Shan, the Mountain of Two Realms — its eastern half belongs to the domain of our great Tang, while its western half is the territory of the Tartars.。」The wolves and tigers over there do not submit to my authority, and I myself may not cross the boundary — you must go on by yourself." Sanzang's heart was struck with fear; he flung out his hand, clutching at Bo-qin's sleeve and garment, and could hardly hold back his falling tears.:「Just as they were in the midst of these parting words of caution and farewell bows, they suddenly heard, at the foot of the mountain, a shout like rolling thunder: "My master has come!!」My master has come!"

What it’s about

Tripitaka and two attendants stray into a demon lair, where the Tiger General, Bear Mountain Lord and Buffalo Chief butcher and eat the attendants. Venus rescues the monk at dawn, but he must continue alone through beasts and steep country. The hunter Liu Boqin kills a tiger, shelters him and asks him to recite sutras for his dead father.

Liu's father appears in a dream to confirm that the recitation freed him for rebirth. Liu escorts Tripitaka to the Tang frontier but cannot cross it. From beneath Five Elements Mountain a voice calls to the traveller: Wukong has waited five hundred years for the master who can release him.

When it was written 背景

The first road chapter destroys the security of imperial departure immediately, establishing Tripitaka's physical helplessness and the novel's uneasy proximity of comic monsters and bodily horror. Liu's household shows what the monk can contribute before he has magical protectors. Border, mountain and hunting words dominate; the final voice reunites two long-separated plots.
