Although, the Four Saints Testing the Zen Heart in Journey to the West are completely different from the Four Saints Testing the Zen Heart in Journey to the West.
The biggest difference is that this time the four saints tested the Zen mind, it was the two saints from the west who did it to prevent the journey to the west to measure the calamity.
The Four Saints Testing the Zen Mind in Journey to the West is to help people traveling to the West and strengthen their determination to seek the Tao in the West.
The two are naturally incompatible.
Secondly, there is a little difference.
In Fengshen Yanyi, Wudang Holy Mother received guidance from the leader of Tongtian after the destruction of Jie Cult.
Withdrawing from the cause and effect of the Conferred God Calamity, Wudang Holy Mother was able to escape unscathed and became a person who was not attacked and killed by the Calamity Calamity.
It was precisely because the Tongtian Cult Leader allowed the Wudang Virgin to withdraw from the Conferring God Tribulation, which also led to the Wudang Virgin to retreat, which can be regarded as retaining a piece of incense for the Jie Cult.
In the future, Our Lady of Wudang accepted Bai Suzhen as a disciple, which can be regarded as continuing the incense of Jiejiao.
During the catastrophe of being conferred upon the gods, Mother Wudang left Jiejiao and eventually became Mother Lishan.
Originally, in Journey to the West, the person who led the Four Saints to Test Zen Heart was not Namo Baoguang Buddha, but Old Mother Lishan.
This point can be regarded as a little difference.
"The so-called Four Saints test the Zen mind. They are Mother Lishan, Avalokitesvara, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra. The four of them transformed into beauties and used their beauty and money to seduce Master Xuanzang and his disciples."
"Among these four people, some of them are somewhat moved. However, the one who can't hold back the most is Zhu Bajie. He fell directly into the trap of the Four Saints."
"As for Xuanzang, although he did not openly fall into the temptation of beauty and money, when the old mother transformed into the old mother of Lishan asked Xuanzang if he was willing to marry his daughter, Xuanzang, who originally wanted to seek Buddha, Zang, he didn’t refuse on the spot. Instead, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, closed his eyes and calmed his mind, and remained silent without answering.”
Lin Xuan talked eloquently and recalled the reaction of Xuanzang and others in Journey to the West when they faced the Four Saints testing their Zen hearts:
"Monkey Sun replied that he didn't know how to do that thing since he was a child... Haha, this monkey is a monkey spirit. If he doesn't know how to do that thing, then why does he know 'that thing'?"
"Sha Wujing put his hands together and murmured, how dare you covet such wealth? It can be seen that even in Sha Wujing's heart, getting a daughter-in-law who is as beautiful as a flower is a fortune."
Lin Xuan smiled faintly and analyzed the reactions of the master and apprentice.
These are all things recorded in Journey to the West.
Now that Lin Xuan thought about it, he suddenly felt that there were many doubts in it.
At the moment, Lin Xuan continued to add:
"You think about it, Xuanzang has been reincarnated for nine lives. In his previous life, he was Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of the Buddha. The depth of Buddhism is unparalleled in the world. Now that he has been appointed as a sutra collector, he is even more determined to seek the Buddha!"
"As for Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, needless to say, they are all powerful immortals. As immortals, they have long stopped eating grains in the world, so how can they be greedy for the pleasures of the world."
"I don't need to elaborate on the doubts involved. Then why are these masters and disciples bewitched by the Four Saints?"
Lin Xuan said while observing the reaction of Master Tongtian.
At this moment, Saint Nuwa happened to come out with Lin Pan. Hearing Lin Xuan's words, he smiled slightly.
Then he spoke:
"This matter is quite simple. I'm afraid these Four Saints used some special means!"
Leader Tongtian's eyes lit up.
After all, he had already learned about Western Buddhism's plans for Xuanzang and others from the mouth of Master Guanyin.
Leader Tongtian nodded immediately.
Lin Xuan also gave a thumbs up to Saint Nuwa and said:
"As expected of Yuki, he hit the nail on the head!"
"The four members of Xuanzang's Buddhist scripture collection team were all carefully selected. Logically speaking, they would not be affected by such low-level temptations. But why did this happen in the end? The biggest reason is because, These four saints used magical powers to influence the minds of four people!"
Hearing this, Master Tongtian couldn't help but feel a little excited, and said hurriedly:
"exactly!"
Although, what Lin Xuan said about the Four Holy Tests of Zen Mind is different from what Guanyin Master said.
However, Master Tongtian knew that the leader of the Four Saints' Zen Heart Test was Namo Baoguang Buddha.
Namo Precious Light Buddha was originally a true Buddha and a quasi-sage who controlled the seven emotions and six desires and thousands of karma obstacles.
With this person's methods, it is simply easy to influence the learning team.
Under the saint, no one can escape from his control.
"Then, I would like to ask my junior brother, is there any way to prevent Xuanzang and others from being affected by the Four Saints' Zen mentality?"
Leader Tongtian's eyes were burning, and at this moment, he also asked a crucial question.
When Lin Xuan heard this, he smiled slightly and said:
"Senior brother, you're in trouble again!"
"My little brother, I am just an ordinary cultivator who has just entered the realm of human immortality!"
"The four people who are gathering the scriptures, let's not talk about the Monkey King, the Monkey King. Even a random Sha Wujing and his ilk can kill me with a crescent shovel!"
"I naturally know the cause and effect of the Four Saints' Trial Zen Mind. However, if you want me to tell you how to break the Four Saints' Trial Zen Mind, then I'm really sorry!"
"Brother, there is nothing you can do!"
Lin Xuan shrugged helplessly and spoke to the leader of Tongtian.
The leader of the Tongtian cult looked dumbfounded.
How could you not know?
The reason why he came here was to get Lin Xuan's guidance and find a way to break the Zen mentality of the Four Saints.
But……
"Isn't there any way?"
Leader Tongtian seemed a little anxious and urged Lin Xuan.
"Senior brother...what's wrong with you?"
Lin Xuan suddenly felt that his senior brother Qingping's attitude today seemed a little abnormal, and then he couldn't help but frowned and asked the leader of Tongtian.
At this time, Master Tongtian also noticed his gaffe, and then he couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, coughed, and hurriedly explained:
"No, I was a little fascinated by the story. Unconsciously, I thought of myself as a member of the Buddhist scripture learning team."
When Lin Xuan heard what Master Tongtian said, he couldn't help laughing, and then said:
"Understand, understand. Senior brother is really a man of temperament."
"However, since senior brother has become an immortal, his temper is still so impatient. That is not a good sign!"
"Senior brother, I have a book of Bing Xin Jue here. You can take it out and recite it often to achieve inner clarity!"
Lin Xuan thought for a while, then stood up, took out a booklet from the storage room, and handed it to the leader of Tongtian...
Bing Xin Jue?
Leader Tongtian's eyes widened, what kind of technique is this?
He has never heard of it!
