Everyone was stunned, and then looked at Mrs. Ximing: "Are you sure?"
"I have not seen it with my own eyes, but I have heard monks in the temple mention it."
Xuanyuan touched his beard: "Then, this can also explain why the Black Mountain old demon chose to attack Lanruo Temple."
Master Xuanzang is the only person in Buddhism who has attained the Buddhahood for hundreds of years. If a monster can devour his body and obtain his physical body and Taoism, wouldn't it be comparable to the Buddha?
Hearing this, Song Xing felt uneasy and could no longer suppress the doubt in his heart: "Master Xuanzang's remains, is Master Xuanzang really enshrined in Lanruo Temple?"
After Song Xing's words came out, everyone looked at him strangely.
Song Xing frowned: "I once heard that after traveling to the west, Master Xuanzang obtained Mahayana Buddhism and became a Buddha through cultivation. Why is he still sitting in Lanruo Temple?"
When he heard Yu Lao talk about Lanruo Temple's allusion before, he felt something was wrong.
Zen Master Baiyun put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, Master Xuanzang was indeed granted the status of Buddha by the Tang Dynasty royal family during his lifetime, but where did the donor come from that he said that Master Xuanzang became a Buddha? What Master Xuanzang practiced? What kind of Buddha is it?”
Song Xing had already noticed something was wrong at this moment, but he still said: "This is what I saw from a random conversation. It is said that Xuanzang achieved Zhengguo and was named the Tantan Merit Buddha by the Tathagata, isn't it?"
Zen Master Baiyun once again recited the name of the Buddha: "I have joined Buddhism since childhood. As far as I know, Namo has taken refuge with all the Buddhas, venerable Dharma, and virtuous saints in the ten directions of space. Among the people who have performed well, passed away well, understood the world, the supreme master who controls their husbands, teachers of gods and humans, Buddhas, and the World-Honored One, there is no such thing as the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit and Virtue whom I have spoken of.”
When Song Xing heard what Zen Master Baiyun said, his eyes flashed and he said, "Really? Maybe I remembered it wrong."
Zen Master Baiyun nodded and said: "The donor is not a Buddhist, so it is understandable that I remembered it wrong."
Something is very wrong with this world!
Through previous conversations with Xu Xian and others, Song Xing learned that there were indeed miracles of gods and Buddhas in this world, and he once suspected that this was the world of Journey to the West.
However, since the gods and Buddhas disappeared three hundred years ago, although the immortal way still exists, it is far inferior to the magical power of picking stars and grabbing the moon in mythology.
Countless experts from the three religions of Buddhism and Taoism have also searched for this, trying to find out the truth about the non-appearance of immortality. However, no matter how many times they traveled all over the world, they could not find the reason for the disappearance of gods and Buddhas.
There are obviously records of gods and Buddhas in the classics, and there are also records of the manifestations of gods and demons in the records of sect inheritance, but no gods and demons can be seen appearing in the world anymore.
In the end it can only be attributed to the changes in heaven and earth itself.
Now listening to Zen Master Baiyun's words, Song Xing was even more convinced that this world was definitely not the one he was familiar with.
"No matter what, let's figure out the intersection of the three realms first." Song Xing secretly whispered in his heart.
Mrs. Ximing's words appeared in his mind again.
"There is a back-up plan left by Master Xuanzang in Lanruo Temple."
Song Xing's mind turned and his eyes fell on Mrs. Ximing: "Master Xuanzang may have been prepared before he passed away, but I want to know where his eldest disciple, Master Wukong, went?"
Master Xuanzang has passed away. There must be a strong man in Lanruo Temple who can suppress everything, and he is most likely to be feared by the old demon from Black Mountain.
Mrs. Ximing looked at Song Xing, thought for a while, and said with a twinkling tone: "I don't know the whereabouts of the real person. Not long after Master Xuanzang passed away, I fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up until a hundred years ago."
"However, before I fell asleep, I vaguely heard him say something." Mrs. Ximing seemed to be lost in memories. "He said that all conditioned dharma is like a dream, and everything in the world is an illusion. Since Xuanzang has reached Nirvana, Wukong will naturally die."
Song Xing raised his head and glanced at the Buddha statue in the main hall: "You mean, the real Wukong has also passed away?"
Mrs. Ximing shook her head, neither denying nor admitting: "Even a demon will have its end of life, let alone a human being."
Mrs. Ximing added: "Before Master Xuanzang passed away, he left a copy of the Tripitaka Sutra in Lanruo Temple and engraved it on the outer wall of the temple. Master Xuanzang once said that the barrier generated by the scriptures can protect Lanruo Temple. Five hundred years have passed, but now it has only been more than two hundred years, and the magic power in the scriptures has almost been exhausted."
The Tripitaka Sutra is a sutra of immeasurable merit and virtue created by Xuanzang. Although it is not compiled by eminent Buddhist monks like the Great Compassion Mantra and the Diamond Subduing Demon Sutra of the Great Leiyin Temple, it was perfected by Xuanzang. It contains Great wisdom and courage are also the backbone of protecting Lanruo Temple from the invasion of demons.
Song Xing's face became solemn, he pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "It seems that we don't have much time."
Xuanyuan also nodded and said: "Yes, no matter whether the old Black Mountain demon has ulterior motives in attacking Lanruo Temple, there is actually only one way left for us now."
The rest of the people agreed. After all, they are now grasshoppers on a rope. If the old demon of Montenegro succeeds, all of them combined will not be able to withstand the attack of the old demon of Montenegro.
At this moment, the young monk beside Zen Master Baiyun who had remained silent from beginning to end suddenly whispered: "Master, is the gold slip on the donor's body just to strengthen the barrier of Lanruo Temple?"
Xuanyuan next to him heard what the young monk said, and his heart moved, and he asked: "Golden Slip to eliminate sins, what Golden Slip to eliminate sins?"
Liu Haichan then took out the gold slip and explained its efficacy.
The gloomy-looking Bai Longju showed joy on his face and spoke first: "In that case, quickly sink this golden slip into the ground. The old demon cannot break through Lanruo Temple, so he will naturally leave."
Everyone also felt that what Bai Longju said was reasonable, but to their surprise, Liu Haichan shook his head and refused: "My master said when he left, if he cannot return in three days, he will bring this Jian to Lanruo Temple. Now the time has not come, so we can't do this yet. .”
Seeing that Liu Haichan was unwilling to take out the gold slip, Bai Longju sneered and said, "You don't know whether your master is alive or dead now. Who knows if he will come back? The demons are surrounding him outside. If you delay for a day, you will be in more danger. There are so many of us here. Am I just going to spend all my time here with you?"
Song Xing killed his ghost master, and Liu Haichan was obviously on the same side as Song Xing, so Bai Longju became displeased with Liu Haichan and others.
Liu Haichan glanced at Bai Longju, and then said: "The demons are surrounding the temple, but at least they will not break through Lanruo Temple's defense for the time being. Master specifically told that the gold slips will be put in after three days. There must be a reason for that."
Bai Longju said again: "What you said is simple. Three days from now will be the Ghost Festival on July 15th. It is also the time when the yang energy between heaven and earth is at its weakest. Yin and yang will increase and decrease in cycles. At that time, the gates of hell will open wide and the earth officials will descend to determine the good and evil in the world. , the prisoners of hunger festival will also be liberated.”
"At that time, the Yin Qi in the Yang world surged, and the power of demons and ghosts increased out of thin air. The old demon from Black Mountain was bound to attack Lanruo Temple again. If the temple was destroyed by then, how many of you and me would have the confidence to escape?"
Xu Xian frowned angrily: "Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death. There are Zen Master Baiyun and Taoist Xuanyuan here. How can Lanruo Temple be so easy to break?"
Bai Longju glanced at Xuanyuan and changed his words: "Of course I dare not question the magic power of Taoist Master and Zen Master Baiyun, but besides us, there are also these mortals here. If monsters attack, where will you let them go?"
The two sides immediately formed two camps for the sake of the gold slip, refusing to give in to each other.
Bai Longju thought that since the golden slips could suppress demons and strengthen the earth's veins, they should act as soon as possible, but Liu Haichan felt that since Lu Dongbin said July 15th, there must be his reasons, and it was not appropriate to act before then.
Xuan Yuan frowned, looked at Liu Haichan, then at Bai Longju, and finally sighed: "That's all, let's discuss how to deal with that monster."
There are a lot of demons around. If everyone in the temple cannot work together, wouldn't it be an opportunity for the demons to take advantage of?
"I agree to wait for two days. If there is a chance, we still have to get rid of the Black Mountain old demon." Xuan Yuan was the first to raise his hand.
Bai Longju looked around, gritted his teeth and raised his hands and said: "I think we should break out of the encirclement as soon as possible. The lamp demon has already said that the old demon from Black Mountain is a ten thousand year old demon, and there are countless demons in his hands. We are no match at all, why bother?" You're wasting your life here."
Then, Zen Master Baiyun felt that it was not advisable to stay for a long time, and everyone from Song Xing and the Sword Immortal Sect expressed their intention to stay here to find out the whereabouts of the Black Mountain Old Demon, and to wait for the Zhongyuan Festival in two days to use the power of the golden slips to suppress the earth line. .
Just when both sides were holding their own opinions, Liu Can, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Since it is the Queen's Golden Slip, it should naturally be handed over to the court. It is a serious crime for you to steal the Golden Slip privately."
