Because of the Xuanyuan Sword incident, the kings of the Three Continents were really worried.
They never imagined that Emperor Xuanyuan, who had not appeared for a long time, would suddenly appear as a saint, and that he would be targeting kings like them.
The kings of Dongsheng Shenzhou have already begun to rebuild the Three Emperors Temple. After all, in this area, they are more like a subordinate country under the sect. In normal times, they rarely go to worship the sages of the human race and the Taoist Sanqing. Or the ancestor of Shangzong.
Now that he is off guard, he is really in chaos.
After all, this is just an episode. Compared with the two kings of the East and West, who basically did nothing due to the overwhelming power of Buddhism and Taoism, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, was completely different. He conquered the world on a horse, his literary talent and military strategy were both top-notch in the world, and he had numerous ministers and fierce generals under his command. , can be said to be uniquely endowed.
It's a pity that the old ministers who conquered the world have passed away one after another. Today's Tang Dynasty seems to be prosperous but already a little tired.
Fortunately, last year I got a wise minister named Ying Meng who was able to cross the sea and conquer the east for the Tang Dynasty. The Xuan Iron Cavalry was still able to conquer the world on horseback.
"It is said that he is an envoy from the Baoxiang, Wuji, and Chechi countries."
After all, these three countries were closer to the Tang Dynasty and admired the culture of the Tang Dynasty. After Master Tripitaka went west, they sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty. Now they have established diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty for many years.
In the past, it was difficult to get through because there were too many monsters on the road, but now it is completely different.
Firstly, it was Master Sanzang who opened the way and eradicated the demons along the way. Secondly, they were all practitioners in their country. For ordinary people, the mountains and rivers were difficult and dangerous, but for them it only took a little effort.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty asked about the customs of other countries, and the new king of the Bhikkhu Kingdom succeeded to the throne——
And "Master Tripitaka" and his four disciples continued to walk westward
The master and apprentice had been traveling for a long time. In the blink of an eye, winter was over and spring was over, and another year had passed.
"Today, it is the thirteenth year of the poor monk's journey to the west." Fahai walked on the mountain road and smiled at his disciples: "In a blink of an eye, Lingshan is right in front of us."
"Master, please don't laugh yet." The Great Sage jumped on the treetop and said cheerfully: "Although we are close to Lingshan Mountain, I am afraid that Lingshan Mountain will not welcome us when the time comes for us to learn scriptures. If Lingshan Mountain does not respond, what should we do?"
After hearing this, Bajie said, "Master, let me tell you, if Lingshan doesn't give us the true scriptures, we will go back to Chang'an and establish our own Buddhist sect. When the time comes for Master to proclaim himself Buddha, will we have the status of Buddha?" Isn’t it beautiful?”
Snapped!
Bajie received a slap from Fahai on his head. He immediately shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.
The Great Sage laughed at Bajie for a while and said, "Is it true that he calls himself the Buddha? Is this the kind of person Master is?"
Bajie was stunned and subconsciously asked: "What about that?"
The Great Sage did not hide it secretly, and said seriously: "Of course Master argued for Buddha at Lingshan Mountain and rendered the monks at Lingshan speechless. After that, he was sincerely regarded as the Buddha by Buddhist disciples in the three realms."
Snapped!
As expected, he was also hit on the head.
"You traitors, don't talk nonsense." Fahai paused, and then spoke again: "Becoming a Buddha is not what I want, but if I can debate scriptures and discuss Buddhism with the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan, it will certainly be worthwhile. OK."
Hey hey hey.
After hearing this, the senior brothers looked at each other and smiled, obviously looking forward to this.
Generally speaking, the conduct of the master will affect the behavior of his disciples.
Fahai hated evil and was very principled. Naturally, the great sage and others were widely influenced by him. So much so that I don’t have much respect for the Lingshan Buddhist Realm.
It was also what they saw along the way that really made them sick.
If Buddhism is really capable of enlightening the world, how could Xizhou see it this way?
Buddhism cannot even protect and transform you people in the Western Continent, so what's the use even if you go to the Southern Continent?
In fact, the words of the Great Sage and Bajie were not intended to deliberately slander Lingshan Buddhism. They wanted to use this method to reduce expectations for Lingshan.
In particular, the Great Sage had seen the scene when Master was possessed by demons. He was afraid that after Master went to Lingshan, he would discover that the "True Sutra" he had been thinking about was not worthy of the name, which would lead to his faith being shaken and his thoughts wavering.
It would be best if they could be alerted in advance. Otherwise, the Great Sage would have to be mentally prepared to cause trouble in Lingshan Mountain.
Just when he was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the Buddha suppressed him for more than five hundred years; if he really caused trouble in the Lingshan Mountain, we don't know what the outcome would be.
This is not the first time similar words have appeared along the way.
Fahai has a delicate and clear mind, and he naturally knows Wukong's deep meaning. As for Bajie, he may be following along with the booing, or he may be wise and foolish, but in short, they are all his disciples.
Although the family and business are not as big as those at Jinshan Temple now, we are by no means alone.
Fa Hai considers himself a bit stubborn, but as a monk for two lifetimes, he is no longer stubborn.
And what Lingshan looks like, and whether the scriptures retrieved from the East by "Master Tripitaka" can help all sentient beings. This matter is actually obvious. The scriptures are indeed exquisite, but it is difficult to save sentient beings. Otherwise, how could I have come here?
The scenery is beautiful with wild flowers and trees, and there is another high mountain in front.
Little Bailong had been waiting in front of the mountain and said to his master: "Master, there are no powerful fairies in this mountain range. But there is a group of strong men who gather in the mountains and forests to rob homes and homes."
"There are no fairies, so there are some, but they are evil?" Fahai asked.
"This disciple can't see it, so he is here waiting for Master to identify him." Xiao Bailong scratched his head and said: "After climbing over this mountain, there was a woman in the forest in front of me. I tied myself up. If I didn't expect it, The bad news should be for you, Master."
After hearing this, Bajie immediately laughed and said, "Another female seductress who is greedy for Master's body."
The great sage couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Except for the white-bone spirit and the red lin python, most of the female fairies I met in the past wanted to be our master's wife. Oh, I almost forgot, there. In Pansi Cave, the master scared away seven female spiders before he showed up. But I don’t know what kind of monster is here.”
"Let's go into the mountain." Fahai smiled, "Regardless of her reasons, we will talk first."
This mountain is not the dangerous mountains and rivers we have encountered in the past. It is all a path around the mountain. In comparison, it is a smooth journey.
Everyone followed Xiao Bailong on the road on the cliff, stopping and taking the opportunity to gaze at the rare scenery. He was not in a hurry to find the female monster who had tied him up and was waiting for "Master Tripitaka" to rescue him.
The last person to use this method was Hong Hai'er. Not only did he end up losing his own life, but his father was also saved. Several uncles were sent to the Heavenly Prison, and it is unknown whether they will ever see the light of day again.
Clouds and mist cover the top of the peak, and gurgling water flows in the stream.
The road is filled with fragrance of flowers and densely covered with trees.
In such a weather, the fragrance of flowers can be smelled everywhere in the mountains. The great sage picked some plums, plums and peaches at random. The noise was too loud, which startled the cuckoos and purple swallows in the mountains.
A spiritual body floated out of Wu Jing's body and he painted this scene.
The Great Sage didn't care, and kept two more peaches for himself, and distributed the rest to the master and several junior brothers. Because Wu Jing could not eat, the Great Sage made a straw hat out of wicker and put it on his head. .
When Bajie saw him, he complained to his master, saying that the elder brother favored one and treated the other, divided his feelings and was beaten.
But after all, I got a cool hat of the same style, and I was overjoyed.
After passing the rugged mountain road, we arrived at a black pine forest. There was also a black pine forest in Wanzi Mountain, and it was there that Kuimulang was captured.
Speaking of which, this black pine forest is more dangerous than this mountain, with the east and west closely arranged and the north and south aligned. If you look closely at the thorns, the polygonum will entwine the branches.
The entangled vines and vines blocked the road completely, making it difficult for travelers.
"If a person lives in a forest like this, it doesn't need to be long. It only lasts for half a year. It may be difficult to distinguish between the sun and the moon." Wujing separated several spiritual bodies and looked at the scene of the pine forest, and sighed: "The trees in the forest It is so lush that if you go deep into it, you will not be able to see the sun during the day and find the stars at night.”
Xiao Bailong went on to say: "The woman is in the south of the forest. The group of robbers and thieves are still in the mountain in the distance. There are only tigers, leopards and wolves in the forest here. They are all wild animals, but they are not. It doesn’t matter.”
After saying that, Xiao Bailong paused for a moment and looked at the master: "Master, I wanted to open a way out here, but thinking that the woman was in the south, I wanted to ask the master to observe her reality, so I It has never been touched without permission. Although there is no road to the south, it is still passable."
Xiao Bailong's voice was quiet, but the goblin's voice was loud. Perhaps she had figured out that the master and apprentice were approaching, and at this moment there was a mournful sound.
"Help-"
"Help-"
Bajie was also very happy when he heard this, and deliberately said loudly: "Ouch! Master, I think I heard someone asking for help!"
Bajie didn't wait for his master to speak, so he patted his butt and headed towards Nanlin.
It's no wonder that Bajie wanted to have fun, there weren't many goblins who dared to blatantly set a trap for the master these days.
Master's reputation is now extraordinary in the world of demons and monsters in Xizhou. However, if the demons who eat people are not fully confident in their abilities, who would dare to provoke the master?
In other words, the person who could so carelessly set up such a trick that both parties knew well was most likely because the monster had never eaten people for evil, so it was not afraid of the master.
If it is neither of the above, then you have encountered an ill-informed country monster. This is not something you have never encountered before. The pig monster Meng Huan is still traveling in the three realms. He knew that his master’s hometown is Middle Earth. Therefore, after Datang helped Langlang Mountain and Qilin Mountain reach a cooperation agreement, they set off to the east.
"Amitabha, good, good."
Fa Hai recited the Buddha's name and motioned for several disciples to follow him.
Passing through thousand-year-old cypresses, separated by ten thousand-year-old pines and climbing vines, when I looked closer, I saw a woman tied to the big tree.
If there is any difference between her and Hong Hai'er, it is that Hong Hai'er hangs herself on the tree, while she buries half of her body in the soil and ties the upper half to the tree with kudzu vines.
But Bajie, who was the first to jump over, could not turn around with his eyes. Although he knew that this was a goblin, his appearance really made him look like a flower shy of the moon.
The peach cheeks are weeping, and the starry eyes are filled with sadness.
The Great Sacred Heart said: It is really a charming and difficult monster, but it is a pity that it is also a man-eating monster.
The great sage has a pair of fiery golden eyes, good at observing the true nature of monsters, and with the Ksitigarbha Dharma eyes taught by his master, he can also observe luck and karma. The fierce light and black energy on her head is turbulent, and she must be a big monster causing trouble.
The Great Sage thought about it secretly, and became defensive in his heart. I am afraid that this goblin has something to rely on, so he dares to take risks here.
After all, Bajie had passed the test of the white-bone spirit. Although this golden-nosed white-haired mouse spirit was indeed attractive and attractive, which made his heart flutter, he still wouldn't lose his soul. Especially when they heard that Master and Senior Brother were approaching, they had already restrained their thoughts and just asked: "Nv Bo. Ahem, why is the female donor tied up here?"
Bajie was so ugly that the female goblin didn't want to look at him, and she just shed tears when he asked.
"Ouch!" Bajie curled his lips and said to his master: "Master, this woman is not afraid of the old pig. She must be a monster. Beat her to death."
With that said, Bajie went to touch his nine-tooth rake.
scare!
Mrs. Diyong was startled when she heard this, and said in her heart: Although I have no intention of hiding it from you, is it too hasty to say this from the mouth of Zhu Bajie?
"Elder, help me!" Mrs. Diyong said urgently to Master Sanzang: "Elder, help me -"
If the Great Sage could only see her true body and sinful karma, then Fa Hai also saw a ray of Buddha's light on her body. This Buddha's light was very righteous and had the fragrance of exotic flowers. This monster must have deep feelings for daring to come here. Reliance, with this kind of Buddha's light, I'm afraid I can only find it in Lingshan.
Last time I tried to catch Maitreya Buddha with a yellow-browed boy in Xiaoxitian, but Maitreya Buddha never showed up.
Now that he met such a demon again, Fa Hai was not in a hurry to save her, so he asked her, "Why is the female donor tied here?"
The goblin was also stunned when Master Sanzang asked. She was ready to use her magical power to escape. After all, her magical power was here. Even if she was teasing her, she was not afraid of being hurt by her master and disciple, so she had the right to give it a try.
But she never expected that even Zhu Bajie could see that he was a monster, and Master Sanzang would also come to ask for the reason. Mrs. Diyong suddenly felt something in her heart, and thought to herself: "Could it be that he was moved by my appearance?"
Mrs. Diyong, who originally wanted to accomplish a good thing with Master Sanzang, immediately started to make up lies, "Master, my family lives in the poor country, more than 200 miles away from here. During the Qingming Festival, I went to visit the tombs of my relatives and relatives. This is We just came to this deserted countryside and went to the tomb to hold the ceremony, but when we heard the sound of gongs and drums, a group of strong men came out with knives and sticks, shouting to kill us, and we were so panicked that our souls were gone."
This female enchantress also told the story seriously. Although it was a lot of nonsense and made up on the fly, her acting skills were really outstanding. She was so delicate and pitiful that she couldn't describe it while she was sobbing.
"My relatives and my family died and I ran away. I am a young woman who was abducted by strong men and brought to the mountain. The first king wants to be his wife, the second king wants to be his wife, the third and fourth king all love my beauty, seven Eighty families quarreled together. No one could take me, and no one could take me for someone else. So they tied me up in the forest and said I would live or die."
The master and disciples listened to the story she made up and were noncommittal.
Mrs. Diyong did a complete show and handed the soft waves to Master Sanzang. She was really charming, and she sincerely begged, "I hope Master will show great mercy and save my life. I will never be ungrateful under the Nine Springs."
Fahai heard this and said: "It is not the behavior of Buddhists to refuse to save her until she is dead. Bajie should untie her first."
Fa Hai couldn't help but treat the fairy who came to his door in a different light, and was especially interested in the Buddha's light on her body. He hoped that this time, he could gain something.
Naturally, Bajie would not think that the master was attracted to this goblin. Although the goblin looked pleasing to the eye, it was far inferior to the Queen of Xiliang. Bajie stepped forward and untied the upper half of the rope, and used palladium to build the lower half of the body. ——
Just waiting for the goblin to cause trouble, he would hit him with a palladium.
