唐僧身陷虎穴金星解厄，双叉岭刘伯钦帮助玄奘经受了初出长安第一场苦难。刘伯钦送唐僧到半山之中，回身立于路下道：“长老，你自前进，我却告回。”三藏闻言，滚鞍下马道：“千万敢劳再送一程！”伯钦道：“长老不知，此山唤做两界山，东半边属我大唐所管，西半边乃是鞑靼的地界。那厢狼虎，不伏我降，我却也不能过界，你自去罢。”三藏心惊，轮开手，牵衣执袂，滴泪难分。正在那叮咛拜别之际，只听得山脚下叫喊如雷道：“我师父来也！我师父来也！”唬得个三藏痴呆，伯钦打挣，并解释道：“这山旧名五行山，因我大唐征西定国，改名两界山。先年间曾闻得老人家说：‘王莽篡汉之时，天降此山，下压着一个神猴，这叫必定是他。长老莫怕，我们下山去看来。”三藏只得依从，牵马下山。行不数里，只见那石匣之间，果有一猴，露着头，伸着手，乱招手道：“师父，你怎么此时才来？来得好！来得好！救我出来，我保你上西天去也！”伯钦胆大，走上前来，与他拔去了鬓边草，颌下莎，问道：“你有甚么说话？”那猴道：“我没话说，教那个师父上来，我问他一问。”三藏道：“你问我甚么？”那猴道：“你可是东土大王差往西天取经去的么？”

三藏道：“我正是，你问怎么？”那猴道：“我是五百年前大闹天宫的齐天大圣，只因犯了诳上之罪，被佛祖压于此处。前者有个观音菩萨，领佛旨意，上东土寻取经人，往西方拜佛，功成后自有好处。故此昼夜提心，晨昏吊胆，只等师父来救我脱身，我愿保你取经，与你做个徒弟。”三藏闻言，满心欢喜道：“你虽有此善心，又蒙菩萨教诲，愿入沙门，只是我又没斧凿，如何救得你出？”那猴道：“这山顶上有我佛如来的金字压帖。你只上山将帖儿揭起，我就出来了。”三藏依言，回头央浼刘伯钦道：“我与你上山走一遭？”伯钦只得呼唤家僮，牵了马匹，他却扶着三藏，复上高山。他们果见有块四方大石，石上帖着一封皮，却是“罥、嘛、呢、叭、咪、罥”六个金字。三藏上前将六个金字轻轻揭下。径下高山，又至石匣边，对那猴道，“揭了压帖矣，你出来么。”那猴欢喜，叫道：“师父，你请走开些，我好出来，莫惊了你。”伯钦听说，领着三藏，一行人回东即走。走了五七里远近，又听得那猴高叫道：“再走！再走！”三藏又行了许远，下了山，只闻得一声响亮，真个是地裂山崩。众人尽皆悚惧，只见那猴早到了三臧的马前，赤淋淋跪下，道声“师父，我出来也！”对三藏拜了四拜，急起身，与伯钦唱个大喏道：“有劳大哥送我师父，又承大哥替我脸上薅草。”谢毕，就去收拾行李，扣背马匹。三藏见他意思，实有好心，真个象沙门中的人物，便叫：“徒弟啊，你姓甚么？”猴王道：“我姓孙。”三藏道：“我与你起个法名，却好呼唤。”猴王道：“不劳师父盛意，我原有个法名，叫做孙悟空。”三藏欢喜道：

“也正合我们的宗派。你这个模样，就象那小头陀一般，我再与你起个混名，称为行者，好么？”悟空道：“好！好！好！”自此时又称为孙行者。那伯钦见孙行者一心收拾要行，却转身对三藏唱个喏道：“长老，你幸此间收得个好徒，甚喜甚喜，此人果然去得。我却告回。”三藏躬身作礼相谢。从此，唐僧和他的徒弟会顺利走完取经路程，因为孙悟空已发誓保护唐僧取经，后来又有猪八戒和沙僧的帮助，他们能合力打败任何妖魔鬼怪。尽管唐僧会有九九八十一难，不过他只会有惊无险，各种妖魔鬼怪都想通过吃唐僧肉或女妖想与他交配得到长生不死，但他们注定要失败。在孙悟空变成唐僧徒弟之后，每个故事情节的关注点不是唐僧是否被任何沿途抓住他的妖魔鬼怪吃掉，而是孙悟空这一次该如何营救唐僧。孙悟空是中的头号主人公而唐僧却是取经团队的头领。

行者伏侍唐僧西进。一天他们来到蛇盘山鹰愁涧。唐僧的马遭到从涧里水浪中跳上崖山的龙吞吃了。“这万水千山，怎生走得？”唐僧对行者说着，“泪如雨落。”“行者见他哭将起来，他那里忍得住暴燥，发声喊道：‘师父莫要这等脓包形么！’”作为读者，我们能理解凡人唐僧没有神人悟空的神性。但真正的唐僧绝不像故事中离开了徒弟就寸步难行！真正的唐僧是个勇敢、能干、独自无助地经历了西行的艰难险阻，然后成了在印度公开辩论大乘佛法纯观念理论无对手的着名专家。玄奘，也以三藏法师着称，在我国历史上又是着名的翻译家。但此唐僧非彼唐僧也，因为一个是历史上的真人，用作了人物原型，一个是《西游记》作者根据他主题的需要，借用了人物原型，创造的《西游记》第二号主人公。

当唐僧脱了凡胎，即“脱却胎胞骨肉身”时，他才“方可成佛”。作为佛，“长老亦将经卷丢下，也从台上起于九霄，相随腾空而去”，有“神性”了。既然唐僧的“死尸”漂浮着顺流而下了，那么是唐僧的什么“成佛”了？是唐僧的“元神”“成佛”了！由此可见，人的生命是由物质（肉体）生命和精神（“元神”）生命组成的。唐僧的精神（“元神”）生命“成佛”了，即长生不死了，那么，他活在哪里？我们如何知道或怎样证明？

唐僧的精神生命永远活在全世界《西游记》读者的心里！我们读了《西游记》还记得唐僧值得读者记住的东西就证明那是唐僧精神生命的组成精髓。简而言之，那就是：a）“玄奘亦回洪福寺里。那本寺多僧与几个徒弟，早闻取经之事，都来相见，因问：

‘发誓愿上西天，实否？’玄奘道：‘是实。’他徒弟道：‘师父呵，尝闻人言，西天路远，更多虎豹妖魔。只怕有去无回，难保身命。’玄奘道：‘我已发了弘誓大愿，不取真经，永堕沉沦地狱。大抵是受王恩宠，不得不尽忠以报国耳。我此去真是渺渺茫茫，吉凶难定。’”唐僧真是有情有义，知恩报德。

b）唐僧有他人生崇高的目标和宏伟的事业。他一心一意西天取经，以济众生，造福生灵，造福社稷。他冒着生命危险，经历了九九八十一难，九死一生，终成正果。

c）唐僧有他的信仰，并且是个非常虔诚的佛教徒。他不仅扼守誓言，“路中逢庙烧香，遇佛拜佛，遇塔扫塔”，而且严格遵守佛教戒律，如他不蓄私财，只求温饱。“那皇帝与三宫妃后、太子诸臣，将镇国的宝贝，金银缎帛，献与师父酬恩。那三藏分毫不受，只是倒换关文，催悟空等备马早行。”（第四十回）他们仍靠化斋过日。又如“他目不视恶色，耳不听淫声。他把这锦绣娇容如粪土，金珠美貌若灰尘。一生只爱参禅，半步不离佛地。那里会惜玉怜香，只晓得修真养性。”“那女怪，活泼泼，春意无边；这长老，死丁丁，禅机有在。那个要贴胸交股和鸾凤，这个要画壁归山访达摩。女怪解衣，卖弄她肌香肤腻；唐僧敛衽，紧藏了糙肉粗皮。女怪道：‘我美若西施还袅娜。’唐僧道：‘我越王因此久埋尸。’

女怪道：‘御弟，你记得宁教花下死，做鬼也风流？’唐僧道：‘我的真阳为至宝，怎肯轻与你这粉骷髅。’”（第五十五回）唐僧从不为女色所动。再如，“女王扯住唐僧道：‘御弟哥哥，我愿将一国之富，招你为夫，明日高登宝位，即位称君，我愿为君之后。’”但三藏却说：“恐女王招我进去，要行夫妇之礼，我怎肯丧元阳，败坏了佛家德行；走真精，堕落了本教人身？”由此可见，唐僧既不爱江山，也不爱美人，不被财、色、权所动，只忠于他的信仰，只珍爱他的德行，只痴迷他的事业。

d）为了达到他的人生目标——从西天取回真经，唐僧有冒生命危险的勇气，有保护自己坚定不移的决心，有经受九九八十一难而百折不回的恒心。但他有时为了达到目的，不择手段。如他用“假亲脱网”之计欺骗西梁女国之国王。又如，比丘国王差他锦衣官来请求唐僧的心作国王的药引子，“唐僧战战兢兢的爬起来，扯着行者哀告道：‘贤徒啊！此事如何是好？’行者道：‘若要全命，师作徒，徒作师，方可保全。’三藏道：‘你若救得我性命，情愿与你做徒子徒孙也。’”真不像话！

e）唐僧是个慈悲好善之人。但他对白骨夫人、红孩儿、蝎子精等妖魔的仁慈则是对孙悟空、寇员外等好人的残忍。即便他是凡人，不能识别妖魔真假，但总该能区分强盗和好人吧！如：“师徒们正走多时，忽见路旁唿哨一声，闯出六个人来，各执长枪短剑，利刃强弓，大咤一声道：‘那和尚！那里走！赶早留下马匹，放下行李，饶你性命过去！’唬得那三藏魂飞魄散，跌下马来，不能言语。”当孙悟空说：“师父请行，那贼已被老孙剿了。”

三藏却道：“出家人扫地恐伤蝼蚁命，爱惜飞蛾纱罩灯。你怎么不分皂白，一顿打死？全无一点慈悲好善之心！早还是山野中无人查考；若到城市，倘有人一时冲撞了你，你也行凶，执着棍子，乱打伤人，我可做得白客，怎能脱身？”悟空道：“师父，我若不打死他，他却要打死你哩。”三藏道：“我这出家人，宁死绝不敢行凶。”（第四十四回）真是虚伪、迂腐！又如第五十六回，“那贼那容分说，举着棒，没头没脸的打来。长老一生不会说谎，遇着这急难处，没奈何，只得打个诳语道：‘二位大王，切莫动手，我有个小徒弟，在后面就到。他身上有几两银子，把与你罢。’那贼道：‘这和尚是也吃不得亏，且捆起来。’众喽罗一齐下手，把一条绳捆了，高高吊在树上。”当悟空冲上来道：“只望放下我师父，我就一并奉承。”“那伙贼闻言，都甚欢喜道：‘这老和尚悭吝，这小和尚倒还慷慨。’教：

‘放下来。’那长老得了性命，跳上马，顾不得行者，操着鞭，一直跑回旧路。”孙悟空不得不打死了两个贼人。唐僧却叫八戒：“快使钉钯，筑个坑埋了，我与他念卷倒头经。”又恨恨地叫悟空：“猴头过去，等我撮土焚香祷告。”他祈祷道：“拜惟好汉，听祷原因：却遭行者，棍下伤身。你到森罗殿下兴词，倒树寻根，他姓孙，我姓陈，各居异姓。冤有头，债有主，切莫告我取经僧人。”“大圣闻言，忍不住笑道：‘师父，你老人家忒没情义。虽是我动手打，却也只是为你。’”真叫人寒心！

正如所有凡人一样，唐僧有其人性的各种缺点和错误。他的人性也有善恶两面。但“僧是愚氓犹可训”，即是说，唐僧是个需要教育的人，而不是无情地被惩罚。就他一生而论，他是个积极向上的人，对取经事业非常执着。他经受住了各种考验。事实上，他不愧为西天取经团队的领队和核心。他的优缺点都如此真实地融进了他永存的精神生命之中，以便世人借鉴。
