"Poor monk, Xuanzang of Tang Dynasty, met the Supreme Being."
Inside the castle, a young man wearing Buddhist robes saluted Xia Ya. He looked very handsome, a standard white-faced boy, but his eyes seemed to contain the universe and the stars, full of wisdom.
The Buddhist sect of Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty does not belong to the other ones mentioned before. After returning from his journey to the west, he founded a Buddhist sect of his own, called the Consciousness Only Sect or it can be called the Faxiang Sect.
Unlike Zen, which focuses on Buddha nature, Faxiang Sect focuses on Buddhism and is a Buddhist sect that studies and practices Buddhism.
The so-called Dharma phase refers to all forms and methods of accepting Dharma in practice. In theory, it refers to the purpose and core essence of Dharma, the origin, genre, changes, etc. of Dharma, as well as methodology.
Faxiang Sect is a very pioneering Buddhist sect. It is wise in theoretical innovation and contains the idea of rule of law based on law.
It is effective in practical expansion, showing the power and sharpness of the Dharma like a sharp sword. It dares to break and stand, can break and stand, and is not afraid of evil spirits and monsters.
As a legacy of straightforward Buddhist practice, Faxiang Sect has also seen new developments in contemporary times.
Modern Faxiang Sect takes Buddhism and its practice as its object, and focuses on research-driven inheritance and innovation of Buddhist theories, methods, techniques and mysteries since primitive Buddhism.
As well as the advanced concepts and methods of other human spiritual schools, it focuses on research methods and methodologies to solve problems, focuses on new practices and new developments, and openly absorbs the results of the progress of human civilization and the development of science and technology.
Especially in terms of thinking, mathematics and logic are even introduced as tools.
It is very open and inclusive, and can summarize the knowledge of other sects in a more systematic way.
However, for the Buddhists at that time, the threshold of the Faxiang Sect was obviously too high, so it gradually declined after Xuanzang's death. However, in the future when basic education is gradually becoming more popular, this will be different.
And at the same time, Xia Ya also injected the knowledge he had integrated into his mind. It contains the knowledge and directions of the eight major sects of Buddhism. This knowledge is very complicated, but he believes that the existence in front of him can be integrated.
This is also thanks to the fact that Arthur has brought a huge power of destiny to himself. Otherwise, if it were him in the past, he would obviously not be willing to directly manifest the existence of such a person, which would consume too much power of destiny.
"Do you have any memories of the past?" Xia Ya said.
Tang Xuanzang is too classic. There are many various film and television works and secondary works. Moreover, after he is embodied in this world, his existence will be "rationalized" to fit the Tang Xuanzang who existed in history.
If there are still Tang Xuanzang's soul or fragments in this world, they will be brought together by the power of fate.
If everything about Tang Xuanzang no longer exists in this world, then the person in front of him is Tang Xuanzang.
This was the case with Ramses II.
In Xia Ya's world, Journey to the West is just one novel, based on the prototype of Xuanzang's journey to the West in the Tang Dynasty.
But in this world, gods that only existed in myths and legends in the past really exist, and Buddha also really existed. Char can be sure of this.
So Xia Ya couldn't be sure what kind of journey to the west it was in this world. After all, he didn't look past it.
Tang Xuanzang recalled it and then smiled, "It doesn't matter whether it was in the past or not, is it?"
"Then do you remember Sun Wukong?" Xia Ya said.
"Wukong." Tang Xuanzang murmured in a low voice, "I haven't heard this name for a long time."
So does Sun Wukong exist?
Xia Ya's calm eyes were slightly turbulent.
"Why do you think you are here?"
"Before heading west, you appeared in front of me and guided me on my way westward. And this time, you obviously didn't want to see me as simply as you wanted to see me, right?" Tang Xuanzang said, "In my last memory, I should be following you. With the destruction of the Buddhist kingdom, he entered the ruins."
He murmured in a low voice, "My disciple and I both thought that we would both be destroyed in the end, but here I am.
No. I'm sure I'm totally lost, but..."
He raised his head and looked at Xia Ya, "You used your supreme power to pull me out of the long river of time, right?"
The Tang Xuanzang that Xia Ya embodied, like Zhang Daoling, deliberately chose the last moment of their death, because at this moment they were the wisest.
But obviously, if Journey to the West is true in this time and space, then Tang Xuanzang should have become a Buddha after traveling to the west.
So his memory stayed at the time when the Buddhist kingdom was destroyed.
Of course, the strength of Tang Xuanzang embodied by Xia Ya cannot be called "Buddha".
Char spent more of his destiny power on his knowledge.
And now, like Zhang Daoling, in order to save the power of fate, Xia Ya input part of the knowledge he possessed into his mind.
So in order to rationalize this knowledge, fate made a patch in the memory of Tang Xuanzang's journey to the west and added the existence of Xia Ya.
"A great calamity is about to occur in the world. This world needs your wisdom."
Char walked slowly towards the gate of the castle and slowly opened it. Behind the door was the boundary of the academy.
"Go in from here. There is a person here who will answer all your questions."
Tang Xuanzang was silent for a moment, saluted Xia Ya, and then walked into the door.
As soon as he entered the academy, he was amazed by the strange sight inside.
Even though he has traveled to many famous mountains and rivers in his life and seen many things, this scene before him is still extremely novel.
There were not many people inside the academy and it was very quiet, so he quickly felt the presence of a certain aura in the academy and walked directly over.
And Xia also slowly closed the door. At this moment, Alicia slowly walked down the stairs, holding a book in her hand.
Seeing that there was only Xia Ya in the living room, she said with some confusion, "Where is Master Xuanzang?"
"He went to the Academy."
"That's it," Alicia said with some regret, "I also want him to sign the book for me."
She held a copy of Journey to the West in her hand, which was revealed by Xia Ya and placed in the library. She had read many books in the past few decades, including this one.
Xia Ya said in a funny tone, "People usually give books to the authors to sign directly. It would be better for you to take a book and sign it to the protagonist of the story."
"What's so weird about that?" Alicia said.
"You will be the academy's sacrificial wine in the future, so you will also have plenty of opportunities." Xia Ya said.
Alicia nodded, "You have found people for Buddhism and Taoism, but what about the others?
Are these two sects the only ones you talk about when a hundred schools of thought contend? "
"I haven't thought about it yet." Xia Ya said, "The academy is an academy of extraordinary power. Although Beichen has many schools, not all of them have extraordinary power. But in short, you can take your time. There are many sects of Buddhism. , Taoism also has it.
Moreover, I also need to save some energy. I still have one important thing to do. "
Suddenly, he seemed to notice something, and slowly turned his head to look in a certain direction, with some waves in his eyes.
From Xia Ya's perspective, there is a cliff in the valley near Yuzhang.
A crack is gradually widening as time goes by.
What is behind the crack is not the rock structure of the cliff, but a deeper and darker unknown passage that leads to no one knows where.
And in that crack, countless black energy gushes out from it, and even gradually spreads to the surroundings. Some hares and deer seemed to have noticed something, and ran away in panic.
And in the crack, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out. The big hands were very pale, and the nails were full of blood and there were some scars. His hands grabbed the edge of the crack, trying to expand the crack.
In fact, it did have some effect. The crack actually expanded slowly with his power. As the faint light swayed down through the shrouded dark clouds, the existence behind the crack gradually revealed his face.
The dark, greasy hair was hanging loosely. Under the complicated hair, there was a donkey face with skin like that of a dead man.
It was a real donkey face. Seeing the crack slowly opening, he slowly opened his mouth, revealing a slightly ferocious smile.
In the Hades in the West, there are some nodes with the human world that allow the souls in the Hades to go to the human world.
And different Hades and Hades are actually in the same place, all on the land of Hades.
So there are Hades in the West, and there will naturally be some such nodes in the East.
However, the underworld has sealed most of these nodes.
But obviously, there are some problems at this moment.
And all of this is under the gaze of Xia Ya's clairvoyance.
Xia Ya didn't think there was any absolute coincidence in this world. This happened just a few days after he came to Beichen.
A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest in South America, flapping its wings occasionally, can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later.
This is commonly known as the butterfly effect, also known as the chain reaction.
Obviously, the chain reaction of Char's arrangements in this world over the years has caused some changes in the world, such as more magic power, the so-called aura, giving this node a foundation to open up.
There is a piece of land between the underworld and Hades, so some of Gaward's actions will also affect these nodes.
Of course, part of it should be because of Zhang Daoling.
Although the time node of Zhang Daoling's appearance by Xia Ya is after his death, theoretically he has fulfilled his destiny.
This is a very uneconomical way to use the power of destiny.
Because as the weaver gradually completes his or her destiny, the power of destiny will grow stronger in it.
But if you use it this way, you will get very little in return.
But the advantage is that it can save a lot of time.
And every additional destiny exists, there will be one more variable for this world.
However, the power of fate will still have some influence on the direction of the woven person in the world.
After Tony was manifested, his fortune allowed him to learn how to use the Philosopher's Stone. From then on, turning stone into gold was easy and he no longer had to worry about lack of money.
So the same should be true for Zhang Daoling. As one of the four great heavenly masters of Taoism, he had many legends about subduing demons and slaying demons in the past.
Just like the protagonist in the story often encounters events.
Some monsters that could never appear in the human world in the past have come to the human world in certain specific ways.
So Xia Ya feels that this thing should meet Zhang Daoling in the near future.
