After hearing this reprimand, Tang Sanzang felt his scalp numb and his back sweating coldly.
This feeling... is like being called by the teacher in class, which makes people feel on pins and needles.
And according to the Bodhisattva's opinion, is he really that strong?
With a Taoist practice that is beyond the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and these three magic weapons that he carries with him, can he really compete with the Taiyi Golden Immortal?
But Tang Sanzang has not yet been able to figure out their true uses for these three magic weapons.
In his eyes, the nine-ringed tin staff was just a weapon that happened to be handy.
The brocade cassock can resist evil spirits and avoid disasters such as water and fire, so it is also a good self-defense item.
As for this purple golden bowl, when Li Shimin gave it to him, he did not hesitate to praise it, but on the way west, it was more used as a rice bowl for alms...
Seeing that Tang Sanzang was restless, Sun Wukong on the side smiled secretly, but he was looking at him as if he was just watching the fun.
I didn’t expect that my master, who dared to go to heaven and earth to subdue dragons and tigers, would be so nervous in front of the Bodhisattva!
"Tang Sanzang, I ask you again, have you ever had a Buddha in your heart?"
At this moment, the Bodhisattva's reminder sounded again.
"Amitabha, as disciples are in the Buddhist sect, they naturally care about me, the Buddha."
Tang Sanzang braced himself and responded like this.
"Since you have Buddha in your heart, can you tell me why every time you are in danger these days, you always face the enemy with brute force but never use the Dharma?"
The three questions about the Bodhisattva's soul completely stumped Tang Sanzang.
In fact, it’s not that he doesn’t want to use Buddhism, but because he simply doesn’t know how to do it!
Just because he is a time traveler. Although he has become a Buddha in the physical body, he is just a saint.
After coming to this world, he had neither recited sutras nor participated in Zen, and he could not even memorize a complete page of sutras.
He originally thought that with his strong background, a pair of strong fists, and a few disciples who were proficient in Taoism, he could easily open the way to the west.
But it wasn't until he encountered today's catastrophe of six desires that he discovered that the reality was not as simple as he thought...
"Sanzang, although you have become a Buddha in the physical body, you are not devoted to the Buddha."
"If you want the road to the west to be smooth and smooth, you should also abandon the distracting thoughts of the world in the past and practice Buddhism devoutly!"
"Otherwise, we will be destined to be like the past nine lives, where we will die on our way to the west!"
Finally, the Bodhisattva changed his previous harshness and warned with such earnest words.
"I hope Bodhisattva will not hesitate to give you guidance!"
Tang Sanzang felt happy and then said respectfully.
If it is true, as the Bodhisattva said, that after practicing Buddhism, one can rival the Taiyi Golden Immortal, then why not do it?
However, the Bodhisattva did not respond directly, but pointed to the west.
"Sanzang, after passing the Snake Coil Mountain, you will see the Kingdom of Hajie in front of you. I have a Zen monastery in this country, and the abbot of the monastery is one of my favorite disciples."
"If you really want to practice Buddhism, you can go to this Zen monastery and ask the abbot for advice!"
"Besides, today's battle has severely damaged your master's and disciple's vitality. You can stay in that monastery for a little longer to recuperate!"
The Bodhisattva said this, but he pointed out the clear path to practice for Tang Sanzang.
"Thank you Bodhisattva for your grace!"
After receiving this instruction, Tang Sanzang thanked him again.
He originally thought that the role played by the Bodhisattva now was just to guide him to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Unexpectedly, he also took on the role of preaching, receiving karma and solving doubts!
For Tang Sanzang, this was an unexpected surprise!
"Okay, I will help you here today. Whether you can improve your practice in the future depends on your own destiny!"
After leaving these words, the Bodhisattva's figure gradually dimmed in the Buddha's light, and he was about to turn around and leave.
But before leaving, she did not forget to take one last look at the devastated Snake Mountain.
It’s strange, who was the otherworldly immortal who helped Tang Sanzang’s master and his disciples earlier?
Not only did it easily suppress Sun Wukong's six desires, it also made the Jade Emperor who was watching in heaven dare not act rashly.
With such ability, her identity must be extraordinary, but I don’t know whether she is an enemy or a friend of Buddhism...
With some doubts, the Bodhisattva immediately withdrew his figure and returned to the purple bamboo forest.
After the Bodhisattva left, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but feel very good.
This time not only was Wukong safe and sound, but he also got an opportunity to practice Buddhism.
From an optimist's perspective, it can be considered a double blessing.
"Wukong, since the Bodhisattva has shown us the way, let's set off immediately!"
At this point, Tang Sanzang did not want to stay in the place of right and wrong, and immediately said to Sun Wukong.
And he couldn't wait to see who the disciple that the Bodhisattva said could be the disciple who could teach him, receive his karma and resolve his doubts.
"That's good. I, Old Sun, suffered such a big disaster today. It's time to find a place to have a good rest!"
Wukong scratched the golden hoop on his head unaccustomedly, and then agreed.
At the same time, the returning little white dragon also returned to the ground and transformed into a white dragon horse again.
Tang Sanzang got on his horse and immediately headed west again with Wukong.
"Master, do you really not know who the angel who just led the mortal world to help us is?"
"The other party neither showed up nor reported his family name. How could I know about it?"
"But when I hear her voice, it sounds like she is a woman!"
"Could it be that some fairy fell in love with Master's beauty, so she secretly staged a drama in which the beauty saves the holy monk?"
"Wukong, stop talking nonsense!"
"..."
While talking and laughing, the master and apprentice had already rode away...
Behind them, the originally green mountains and green waters of Snake Pan Mountain had been completely flattened by that shocking battle and turned into a barren wasteland.
I don’t know how long it took, but as a wisp of breeze blew by, bursts of red dust flew up from the wasteland.
These mortal world are the physical remains of Sun Wukong’s six desires.
Although the six desires have been subdued now, there are still some lingering thoughts left in the dust.
But at this time, these residual thoughts turned into wisps of dim golden light, dissipating from the world of mortals.
Golden light continued to gather between heaven and earth, and finally turned into a golden macaque again.
This macaque has six pointed ears. There is no trace of evil spirit in its entire body, and it looks extremely weak.
But other than that, he is almost identical to Sun Wukong!
"Who am I? Why...am I here?"
The six-eared macaque climbed up unsteadily from the ground, looking at the continuous wasteland around it with confusion in its eyes.
At this moment, gusts of wind suddenly sounded from behind him.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw a purple cloud flying towards him.
A fairy wearing purple clothes also appeared in front of him along with the clouds.
"Who are you?"
The six-eared macaque asked warily.
The fairy smiled and said, "My name is Zixia, what's yours?"
"Me? My name...I don't know either."
"Since you don't know, I'll give you one."
The fairy thought for a moment and said, "From now on, you will be called Supreme Treasure. How about that?"
"Supreme Treasure...a good name. I will have my own name in the future!"
"Supreme Treasure, come with me!"
The fairy said, her smile as warm and brilliant as the sun.
Waves of clouds immediately enveloped them, and finally dissipated between heaven and earth...
