"That's all, he's just a poor man, and he'd better live in this temple!"

Sun Wukong looked at Po Qin for a while, and then chose to leave.

Seeing that Jin Chi was no longer hostile to his master, he felt relieved and immediately returned to the meditation room that had been prepared to rest early.

At this time, Tang Sanzang, under the guidance of Elder Jinchi, had arrived at the Sutra Storage Pavilion of Guanyin Temple.

With the light of the Buddhist lanterns around him, Tang Sanzang took a look around.

I saw that the entire Sutra Collection Pavilion was a hundred feet square, and rows of bookshelves nearly ten feet high were neatly arranged in the pavilion.

And every row of bookshelves is filled to the brim with various green-covered and white-backed scriptures.

Looking around, it is like a mountain of books and a sea of ​​learning.

"I didn't expect that this Guanyin Temple, which is hidden deep in the mountains, actually has such a huge treasure trove of Buddhist scriptures. This is really a hardship for the monks in the temple!"

Regarding this, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

"Excuse me, Elder, which one of these Buddhist scriptures does the Bodhisattva want me to study?"

Looking at the piles of scriptures, Tang Sanzang asked immediately.

"The holy monk was joking. The Bodhisattva is so generous and selfless. How could he just give him a book as a gift?"

Elder Jinchi smiled, but he pointed at the series of bookshelves in the pavilion.

"Actually, all the scriptures in the pavilion are prepared for you!"

"The holy monk only needs to understand and understand the Buddhist principles in each book for his own use, and then he can continue his journey to the west!"

What! ?

Tang Sanzang wondered if his ears had heard wrongly.

This entire scripture collection pavilion was actually prepared for me! ?

Bodhisattva...are you not joking with me intentionally?

There are rows and rows of books, at least tens of thousands of books!

Not to mention mastering it, even if you just take a quick look at it, it would probably take more than ten years!

In this case, why should I go to the Western Heavens to obtain sutras? I might as well settle down in Guanyin Temple!

Tang Sanzang's originally high-spirited mood suddenly became depressed.

He then picked up a scripture from the bookshelf next to him, but when he opened it he felt dizzy.

Because everything written densely in the book is all in Sanskrit that I can’t understand at all!

"Why is the holy monk so frustrated? Could it be that he feels that there are very few books in this pavilion, which are far from enough for you to devote yourself to practice?"

Seeing that Tang Sanzang was holding the scripture with a dazed look on his face, Elder Jinchi asked in confusion.

"No, no, it's just the Bodhisattva's holy grace that made me feel flattered for a moment."

Tang Sanzang smiled bitterly, and then handed the scripture in his hand to Elder Jinchi, "By the way, elder, could you explain to me the mystery of this scripture?"

"Holy monk, please don't embarrass me!"

After hearing this, Jinchi took a few steps back and said, "These scriptures are specially prepared by the Bodhisattva for you. I am only an ordinary disciple, so how can I dare to read them without permission?"

Tang Sanzang couldn't help but be surprised by this.

Based on what he meant, could these scriptures be sent to Guanyin Zen Temple specially by the Bodhisattva, and even Jinchi and the others were not qualified to take a look at them?

"I see, I just don't know where these scriptures come from?"

Tang Sanzang nodded and then asked.

"This sutra was personally selected by Master Guanyin from the Daleiyin Temple. It is called the Dao Zhen Sutra. It has a total of thirty-five volumes and is divided into 15,144 volumes."

Elder Jinchi immediately introduced, "In the true scriptures, there are endless Buddhist principles, including impermanence and rebirth, careful words and reflections, and self-cultivation and happiness. There are also notes on the merits of the mind, virtues, and philosophical words. If the holy monk can understand the key points in the scriptures, If you have a thorough understanding, your journey to the west will be worry-free!"

The Great Dao Sutra from Daleiyin Temple...

In this way, these thirty-five sutras are really of great origin!

"But there are fifteen thousand one hundred and forty-four volumes of scriptures. No matter how diligent and diligent the poor monk is, if he doesn't have ten or twenty years, he may not be able to comprehend them all!"

Finally, Tang Sanzang said in a rather embarrassed tone.

Although the scriptures are good, they are very large in volume. I am just an ordinary person, so I am really not blessed to enjoy them.

However, Elder Jinchi looked at him with a strange look on his face, "Holy Monk, you have become a Buddha in the physical body. Don't you still know how to open Buddha's eyes?"

"Buddha Eyes? I wonder what kind of profound Dharma is this?"

"Reading the sutras with Buddha's eyes, one can see thousands of lines in one glance, and have a photographic memory. This is the basis for enlightened monks to meditate and understand the Tao!"

Elder Jinchi explained, "If the holy monk doesn't know how to open the Buddha's eyes, I can help you!"

"In this case, I hope the elders can give me some advice!"

After hearing this, Elder Jinchi said no more.

Then he picked up a plate of cinnabar from the table nearby and wrote a series of Sanskrit words between Tang Sanzang's eyebrows.

As he silently chanted sutras, bursts of Buddha's light shone out from the Sanskrit words.

Following Jin Chi's instructions, Tang Sanzang slowly closed his eyes.

And his gaze was now looking at the outside world through the Buddha's eyes.

For a moment, what Tang Sanzang saw in front of him changed drastically.

The piles of scriptures seemed to come alive at this moment. Every word on every page flowed into his mind along with the Buddha's light.

These words turned into sounds of Sanskrit in his mind, and turned into shadows of ancient Buddhas. Through the combination of sounds and shadows, the mysteries in the sutras were explained to him in an easy-to-understand manner.

But in the blink of an eye, Tang Sanzang had mastered a scripture of nearly 100,000 words.

The principles and mysteries in it were deeply engraved in the depths of his soul, as if they were innate and lingering.

"That'll be fine!?"

Feeling this wonderful change, Tang Sanzang felt like he had found a treasure!

With the blessing of the Buddha's Eye, I can understand a sutra in just a moment.

In this way, wouldn't it be possible for him to fully comprehend the entire Dao Sutra in just a few days?

"It seems that the holy monk has clearly understood the essentials of meditation and Taoism, so I won't bother you anymore!"

Seeing that Tang Sanzang was overjoyed, Elder Jinchi breathed a sigh of relief.

"In this case, the elders will be busy these days!"

"No matter where you are, it's my honor to serve the holy monk!"

After speaking, Elder Jinchi immediately chose to leave.

And Tang Sanzang didn't bother to rest. He couldn't wait to use his Buddha Eyes and began to travel through this mountain of books and sea of ​​learning transformed by the Great Dao Sutra...

In this way, three days passed.

During these three days, Tang Sanzang never stepped out of the second door, almost immersing himself in the Sutra Pavilion.

Even the three meals a day are delivered by the monks in the temple.

After three days of hard study, he finally mastered more than 10,000 volumes of Dao Sutra.

"At this speed, it seems that in just one day at most, I will be able to absorb all the important points of this Great Dao Sutra and continue heading west!"

After putting a studied scripture back on the bookshelf, Tang Sanzang sighed.

Under the infiltration of Buddhism these days, Tang Sanzang's violent aura was completely subdued, and his temperament became more solemn and holy.

At first glance, it looks like a Bodhisattva coming to the world.

"With my current ability, if I encounter a strong enemy like Liu Yu again in the future, I think I should be able to fight, right?"

Tang Sanzang clenched his fists and thought to himself.

After all, what is contained in the Great Dao Sutra is not only the Buddhist principles of cultivating one's moral character, but also many mysteries of subjugating demons.

And now Tang Sanzang couldn't wait to find a target to practice his skills on, and try out the results of his practice in the past few days!

ah! …

However, just as Tang Sanzang was thinking, a roar suddenly sounded from the Guanyin Temple.

After hearing this movement, Tang Sanzang's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately opened the door and walked out of the Sutra Collection Pavilion.

But at this time, there was an unknown moment when strong winds started blowing up in the temple, and the evil spirit was gloomy.

"No, no! Guanyin Bodhisattva, why do you treat me so unfairly!!"

A demonic roar containing endless anger and unwillingness suddenly resounded throughout the mountains and fields!
