Universal Deliverance

"This humble monk has come to borrow your needle and thread, so I can use this Zhang Hu to mend a garment for my disciple."

Tang Xuanzang went straight to the point and told the homeowner the purpose of his visit.

"Your apprentice?"

Finally, when people heard Tang Xuanzang say that he had another disciple, they became puzzled, because there were no other Little Novice Monk accompanying him; Xuanzang only had a white horse with him.

"The apprentice you're talking about wouldn't happen to be that hairy-faced Duke of Thunder- mouthed monkey behind you, would it?"

Then the head of the household looked behind Tang Xuanzang, and when he saw Sun Wukong, he pointed at Sun Wukong and asked Tang Xuanzang a question.

Sun Wukong saw that the family pointed at him and then smiled at him in a friendly manner. However, he did not know that his smile revealed his teeth, and that this appearance could easily frighten others.

When the owner saw Sun Wukong's smile, he was so frightened that he trembled, withdrew his finger, and dared not point again, fearing that Sun Wukong would pounce on him and hit him.

At this point, the homeowner's face showed signs of panic.

"Yes, that's right. The monkey with the hairy face Duke of Thunder mouth that you mentioned standing behind me is my apprentice."

"Don't let his intimidating appearance fool you; he has a kind heart and wouldn't do anything to hurt someone indiscriminately."

"And did you see this Zhang Hu?"

"This is the skin of a tiger that ate people; Zhang Hu's the one who helped me remove it."

Now they began to tell the head of the household about Sun Wukong's temperament, assuring him that Sun Wukong would not harm him.

"You need needles and thread, right? I'll go get them for you right away. Please come in and have a seat."

Finally, after hearing Tang Xuanzang's words, the host suppressed his fear and spun him around. He also invited Sun Wukong into the house and went to get needles and thread for them.

"Then thank you very much, benefactor! Wukong, hurry up and thank the benefactor!"

Human Path Tang Xuanzong first apologized to the homeowner, and then asked Sun Wukong to steal the items. After Sun Wukong complied, Tang Xuanzang led Sun Wukong into the house.

"Esteemed monk, here are the needles and thread you requested."

Even though Tang Xuanzang and Sun Wukong had only been sitting down for a short time, the head of the household brought them the needles and thread they needed.

"Then thank you very much, benefactor."

Tang Xuanzang smiled and thanked him.

"Thank you so much, benefactor! Thank you so much, benefactor! Hehe!"

Sun Wukong also thanked him.

"Cough cough!"

However, after they apologized, a violent coughing sound came from another room.

"Sir, is someone in your family ill?"

Upon hearing the coughing, Tang Xuanzang inquired about the owner of the house.

"Alas, to be honest, Venerable Monk, the person who coughed just now is my wife. She has been ill for a long time due to a sudden cold."

After hearing Tang Xuanzang's question, the host sighed and said helplessly.

"Then why not take your wife to see a doctor?"

Tang Xuanzang asked in confusion.

"Revered monk, where would we, a poor family, get so much money to go for medical treatment?"

"After getting sick, you either have to tough it out and let it heal naturally, or you can only leave it to fate and see if you live or die. I'm already prepared to send my wife off."

When we became husband and wife, we made a promise to grow old together and have many children and grandchildren.

"However, our only child was recently taken away by a tiger, and my wife, due to excessive grief, also caught a cold and became seriously ill."

"I've already decided that if my wife were to leave us, I would dig a large pit and bury us both together."

By the time the head of the household finished speaking, tears were streaming down his face, his heart filled with resentment. He couldn't understand why his fate had to be so tragic.

"If that's how it is, then this humble monk does have some solutions."

"Your wife caught a cold. The main reason was a tiger that ate your child, right?"

"There should only be one tiger around your neighborhood, right?"

After listening to the words of the head of the household, Tang Xuanzang asked some questions.

"That's right. My wife caught a cold because of that wretched tiger. And there's only one tiger around my house. It's a pity I'm not strong enough, otherwise I would definitely kill it and eat its flesh."

After hearing Tang Xuanzang's question, the owner of the house immediately answered, then gritted his teeth and made no attempt to hide his boundless hatred for the tiger.

"Rest assured, benefactor, my humble monk and my disciple have avenged your child. The tiger has been killed, and its skin is right here."

"Furthermore, this humble monk possesses a little Law Technique that can help cure your wife's illness."

"After I cure your wife's illness, you can grow old together. If things don't go well, you can try to have another child. At your age, there shouldn't be any danger."

When Tang Xuanzang saw the state of the family's head, he immediately told him about killing the tiger and how he could cure the man's wife's illness.

"Venerable monk, is everything you've said true?"

"You really killed it. That tiger avenged my child. Can you really help my wife recover from her illness so we can grow old together?"

After hearing what Tang Xuanzang said, the head of the household said in disbelief.

"A monk does not lie. What I say is true, and what I say is permissible, is permissible."

Upon seeing the question on the homeowner's face, Tang Xuanzang slammed his hand on the table, stood up, patted his chest, and said proudly.

"Venerable monk, please help my wife recover from this cold as soon as possible. Thank you for your help."

Finally, after receiving a positive answer from Tang Xuanzang, the owner of the house knelt down and begged him.

"Please rise, benefactor. There's no need for that. I'll go and treat your wife's illness right away."

Tang Xuanzang immediately helped the homeowner up from the ground and said to him.

"Well!"

As the head of the household spoke, he made way for Tang Xuanzang and invited him into another room.

When Tang Xuanzang entered the room, he saw the woman lying on the bed, went over to check on her condition, and felt that it was not very serious.

Then he chanted a spell, using Buddhist Universal Deliverance Mantra. As soon as the golden light appeared, the pain that had been plaguing the woman vanished as quickly as springtime.
