On your big day, why bother yourself?
Not to mention Bajie and Xiao Bailong, whose expressions changed after hearing this, why not the Great Sage himself?
You must know that whenever he chants sutras, besides Junior Brother Liu Er, the one who feels the most uncomfortable is himself.
Isn’t it possible that those who recited sutras for the first time almost saved themselves first?
That day in Lingshan, when the Great Sage resounded the "Great Sage's Thunder Sound" through the Great Thunder Sound Temple, the expressions of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were even more shocked and astonished. They had never thought that there would be any such thing in the Buddhist scriptures. A day that turns into a life-threatening Sanskrit.
Even they had never imagined that such an outrageous thing could happen. They could only say that the great sage was extremely talented and would not be encountered for thousands of years.
Although Mingyue's mouth was blocked by Bajie, the Great Sage did not relax his vigilance.
Qingfeng and Mingyue don't know the depth. They are afraid that the Great Immortal Zhenyuan will not be able to control his magic power, so they have to try the Great Sage Thunder Sound first.
"The Great Sage."
As soon as Immortal Zhenyuan spoke, the Great Sage waved his hand quickly: "You old man, don't call me Grand Sage Sun. It will shorten your life and fortune. If you cough, cough, cough, you have a sore throat, I, Grand Sage, go and moisten your throat."
With that said, the Great Sage hurried out without caring about what Immortal Zhenyuan wanted to say to him.
After he went out, he saw that Immortal Zhenyuan was not stopped by anyone, so he felt a little relieved, calmed down, and went to look at the Sutra Pavilion.
After all, time was a little short back then. Even if he had thousands of incarnations and used the method of avatars to memorize it, he still lacked some insights. Moreover, there were many classics that he had not had time to read in the future.
Since we have arrived at Wuzhuang Temple today, there is no need to rush, as we naturally have plenty of time.
The so-called "reviewing the past and learning the new" is the learning attitude that the great sage learned from his master.
Even an eminent monk like Master, on the way to the West, almost always has his hands on the scriptures, except when he is rushing. What can he be proud of and slack off about?
"It seems that the rumors are true." After watching the great sage leave, the Great Immortal Zhenyuan said to Master Sanzang on the side: "The use of the great sage's thunder sound will also be a huge burden on himself."
"That's right." Fahai nodded, "I heard that since the incident at Lingshan Mountain spread throughout the three realms, many sects feared Wukong like a demon. It was even said that anyone who sees Wukong coming to the door should guard the mountain gate tightly and never let him in. .”
Immortal Zhenyuan smiled and said, "That's just their own sentimentality. I'm afraid it's just the jokes of ignorant children."
After all, with the majestic reputation of the Monkey King, let alone whether the mountain gates in the lower world have a chance to interact with the Monkey King, even if they did... how could someone go to chant sutras outside your mountain gate for no reason?
Unless you yourself have done something wrong.
Like his Wuzhuang Temple, as long as their master and disciple come, they will be guests.
If the monkey doesn't know how to be a guest and talks respectfully, Zhenyuan Immortal will first ask his master Sanzang to discipline him, otherwise he will have to show off the methods of the ancestor of the Earth Immortal.
And today's Monkey King is no longer the reckless Monkey King back then.
What surprised Zhenyuan Master the most was that although Master Tripitaka’s methods of teaching had entered Buddhism, he had never lost his true nature. He knew etiquette and Dharma, but was not bound by them. Therefore, the Great Sage was still the same Great Sage, and he was not bound by them. He did not become the Buddhist protector he expected.
Because of this, I am afraid that even if the Great Sage himself wants to receive the great power of Lingshan and become a victorious Buddha, all the Buddhas in Lingshan will have to discuss it in his heart.
It would be really lively if this great sage who chanted sutras whenever he disagreed was allowed to stay in Lingshan.
One monkey would give them a huge headache. If Master Tripitaka was added to the mix, it would be no wonder that the Buddhas in Lingshan let them out of Lingshan and establish their own Buddhist sect.
And this is a situation that is acceptable to both parties.
For Lingshan, it is easy to invite Buddha, but difficult to send Buddha away. For Fahai, rectifying Buddhism does not happen overnight. Besides, instead of falling into the quagmire in Lingshan, it is better to jump out of the chess game.
When the Consciousness-Wei Sect becomes a major trend in the three realms in the future, it may not be possible to grow from a small one to a large one and become an authentic sect of Buddhism.
"I heard that the Master has mastered the 'Consciousness Only Teaching'. Now that we have arrived at Wuzhuang Temple today, how can we not ask for advice?"
"I was about to ask the Immortal for some advice."
For Zhen Yuanzi, whether Buddhism will prosper in the future is not within his scope of concern. He even said that if one day Buddhism collapsed like the Jie Sect, he would probably laugh out loud.
Wanshou Mountain strangles the eastward path of Buddhism.
In the past, it was not that Buddhism did not want to go to the East to preach, but that the Taoist Immortal established his Taoist temple here, so that ordinary Buddhists would not dare to go eastward.
And those monks who had already established themselves in Nanzhou could not survive and gradually lost contact.
At that time, the Bodhisattva personally came to the door to ask for help, and showed enough sincerity, which made Zhenyuan Immortal relax. It is Tathagata who is in charge of Lingshan now. If it were still the two saints from the Western religion, I am afraid there would be no room for relaxation in this matter. .
But no one expected that Immortal Zhenyuan and Master Sanzang would hit it off and cherish each other ever since.
The matter of auditioning the "Great Sage Thunder Sound" finally came to nothing.
This made the two Taoist boys Qingfeng Mingyue feel regretful for a moment.
It's no wonder that the two of them were able to play together with Xiao Bailong and Bajie. This unusual brain circuit also showed that they were quite destined to master Sanzang.
After all, these five barbarian monks, master and disciple, are also famous in the Three Realms for not following routines.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to say goodbye again.
This time, Qingfeng was not as resentful as when they parted last time. He just bid farewell to Xiao Bailong. Obviously, Xiao Bailong met all Qingfeng's needs this time and did not make any "out of context" or "out of context" comments. The kind of thing that makes people and gods angry.
"Brother Qingfeng." Xiao Bailong took out some books from his arms, put them in Qingfeng's hands, and said: "These are the experiences of the journey to the West recorded by Senior Brother Sha along the way. There may be some things that I haven't mentioned yet. Brother Qingfeng can read through the details in his spare time."
"Great kindness!" Qingfeng first glanced at the names on the covers of these books, and he was even more delighted. He said: "Third Prince, you are really my good brother!"
The two of them didn't know each other, and they were just friends.
Xiao Bailong chuckled, and then said very solemnly: "These are all unique copies. I asked Senior Brother Sha to copy them overnight. I also ask Brother Qingfeng not to spread them outside."
"This is natural." Qingfeng also assured with a serious face.
After seeing Sanzang and his disciples off, Qingfeng quickly ran to his private room and placed the books in his arms in front of him one by one. After examining them for a while, he finally focused on "The Journey of the Holy Buddha to the West" above.
Qingfeng opened the first page and only read the first two sentences. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Wonderful, wonderful!"
“Chaos is undivided, the sky and the earth are chaotic, vast and indistinct, no one can see it.
Since Pangu broke through the Hongmeng, he has opened up the distinction between purity and turbidity.
Encourage all sentient beings to look up to the benevolence and discover that all things are good.
If you want to know about the Yuan Gong of Good Fortune, you must read "Journey to the West". "
"Huh?" Qingfeng was stunned.
"Journey to the West"?
Then he rummaged through the collected volumes. In addition to the volume in his hand, "The Journey to the West of the Holy Buddha", there were also "The Journey to the West", "The Travels of Tripitaka", "The Traveler's Biography", "The Bajie Recipe" and "Sha Monk's Insights". "Records" and "White Dragon Bodhisattva" and other six volumes, but only "Journey to the West" is missing!
I suddenly had no intention of reading the text at the end, so I pushed the door open and tried to chase it eastward.
Mingyue, who was still guarding outside, hugged him around the waist and said, "Senior brother, please go slowly."
"Junior brother, please get out of the way. Damn that little white dragon. I'm going to fight him for three hundred rounds!"
Mingyue did not let go, but said quickly: "Bajie told me before he left. If senior brother is so angry that he wants to cause trouble for the third prince, let me tell him something."
"What words?"
""Journey to the West" is "Journey to the West"
"well?"
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Qingfeng immediately returned to his fairy-like appearance, as if the irritable old man just now had nothing to do with him.
"Thank you, Junior Brother."
Qingfeng patted Mingyue on the shoulder, "How can the third prince still have such leisure to make such a joke?"
"Junior brother, wait a moment."
Qingfeng returned to the house, then took out a book and sent it to Mingyue, saying: "You should be interested in this book. But remember to return it to me after reading it."
Mingyue took it and saw that it was the "Bajie Recipe", she also smiled knowingly and said, "Thank you, senior brother."
As he said that, he casually opened a cookbook that he had gotten from Bajie before. He didn't take this one seriously, but when he opened it, he realized how wonderful it was!
Compared with what Bajie gave him, there were only written recipes. In this one, Wu Jing actually very thoughtfully added graphics and paintings. Just one glance at it is already enough to make people move.
Gudu.
Snapped!
Mingyue closed the cookbook in her hand and said to Qingfeng: "Brother, please read the book slowly while I go and study the dishes recorded in it."
After finishing speaking, he went directly to the master's room and said, "Master, master, please give me a manor!"
"Amitabha."
The five masters and disciples left Wanshou Mountain and walked to the place where the Four Saints tested their Zen hearts. Wu Jing first recited the Buddha's name, and then said to Xiao Bailong: "Junior brother, when you see Taoist Brother Qingfeng again in the future, you will feel Are you prepared?"
He wrote the book himself, so he naturally knew the contents of the book.
Not to mention whether the words in these books can complement each other and confirm each other. At the moment, I can only hope that when Qingfeng reads it, he can ignore the various contradictions in it.
There are even some plots that are just based on my own imagination and just added with a stroke of inspiration.
For example, the Four Saints tested their Zen minds. In Journey to the West, it is boldly assumed that their masters and disciples did not see through the changes in Lishan Mother and the three Bodhisattvas, but were welcomed into Zhuangzi all the way.
The three Bodhisattvas tried every means to get their master and disciple to stay as their wives, including but not limited to financial inducement, sexual inducement, profit inducement, etc.
In the end, the second senior brother Bajie was deceived because of his unstable Taoist mind, and was punished by the Bodhisattvas.
There are many plots like this. Even in "The Biography of the Traveler", Wu Jing also used the Spring and Autumn writing style to say that the senior brother prayed for the bones, hoping that if she could regain her true spirit, she could become a Buddhist believer.
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Bailong didn't care and smiled at Wu Jing: "When I was at Wuzhuang Temple, I kept my promise. Except for some things that I really couldn't say, everything I told Qingfeng was true. "
At this point, Xiao Bailong was stunned and suddenly said: "You don't think that Qingfeng will regard what you wrote in your book as true, do you?"
"It's very possible." Bajie on the side nodded, "If I hadn't experienced the journey to the west personally. Just looking at Junior Brother Sha's writing, it would be difficult to think that what he wrote is fake."
The Great Sage also nodded and said: "That's true. People who don't know the inside story will have a hard time distinguishing the truth from the false."
After all, Wu Jing did not just write nonsense. The characters and logical details are worthy of scrutiny. He just hid some things and exaggerated some plots.
When passing by the Liusha River, Wu Jing asked his master for orders and prepared to go down to pay homage.
Ordinarily, this matter had nothing to do with him, but he believed that if it hadn't been for the roller-shutter general to eat the ninth reincarnation of the pilgrim here, perhaps so many innocent people would not have died here in the past five hundred years.
And he was transformed by the spirit of obsession of the nine generations of pilgrims, so he should also bear this cause and effect.
In this regard, Fa Hai did not argue with Wu Jing.
Master and disciple are of the same mind, and there is no big difference in who has the cause and effect.
Moreover, for Fa Hai, having a little more karma would not be a big problem for him, and sharing it with Wu Jing would not make him feel more relaxed.
That's what he said, but how can this cause and effect be exchanged with just one mouth?
It's just that there is no selfishness between them, master and disciple, and they share the burden.
The Liusha River, which used to be too fast for people to cross, now has a ferry and shopping malls running on both sides.
After the Great Sage looked at it with his fiery eyes, he smiled and said: "Master, it is a He Bo sent by Heaven to manage the hydrology in Liusha River. There is also a Dragon God to assist."
Sure enough, after the master and disciples descended to the shore, He Bo and Dragon God appeared to meet them.
After He Bo and the Dragon God appeared, they first paid homage to Master Tripitaka, the Great Sage and others, and then introduced themselves to their family and told their origins.
This He Bo is a descendant of Dayu, and he is born with the ability to conquer floods. And the dragon god is not from the Four Seas Dragon Clan, but from the Kunlun Yinglong lineage.
The two of them have always been practicing in West Kunlun. It was also after Yang Jian took over as the God of Justice that he personally went to West Kunlun to invite the two of them to come out and control the water here.
After all, Master Tripitaka is different. He can get the approval and true inheritance of the two human kings Xuanyuan and Dayu. Naturally, they will become closer when they meet.
After some conversation, everyone truly understood that the flood problem in the Quicksand River could not be solved in one day. Even for gods like them, it was not as easy as imagined.
In fact, let alone them, even when Dayu controlled the floods, it was still very difficult.
