"Jin Chanzi, I haven't seen you for a few days, your Buddhist heart seems to have been shaken." The village woman said with a smile.
The Tang monk and the woman looked at each other for a moment, and seemed to react suddenly. He quickly got off his horse and knelt down on the ground: "Greetings to Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
Everyone in the team was shocked.
Although Qi Zhen and Lin Biao guessed the identity of the person in front of them, when Tang Seng said these words, their foreheads still jumped slightly.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva did not show his true body after Tang Monk recognized him, nor did he waste any time on the issue of the dusty Buddha's heart. Instead, he asked: "How is your new disciple?"
"You mean Wukong?" Tang Monk asked knowingly, and then said, "Of course he is very good, but his murderous nature is too strong, which is inconsistent with my Buddhist compassion. To be honest, I just kicked him out. I don't know where he is going now. .”
"He is originally a stone monkey with a naughty and violent nature. This journey to the west is not only for you to learn Buddhist scriptures, but also for spiritual practice." The village woman said with a smile.
"Disciple, remember this." Tang Seng nodded in agreement.
"Here is a flower hat with a gold hoop on the hat. I will teach you another 'Tightening Curse'. If this monkey wants to break the precepts again, you only need to recite this mantra, and he will naturally obey the law with peace of mind."
Guanyin Bodhisattva pointed his hand, and a flower hat appeared in front of Tang Monk.
"Thank you Bodhisattva!" Tang Monk knelt down and bowed.
"You Buddhists always emphasize cause and effect. Have you ever thought that the reason why the Great Sage became what he is today was all caused by you?"
A voice suddenly broke the harmony in the field.
Everyone followed the sound and saw Qi Zhen taking two steps forward, a pair of eternal kaleidoscope sharingan eyes, looking directly at the village woman's face, extremely fierce.
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Qi Zhen for a long time, and then at the other team members present. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he instantly returned to his original state.
"Are you..." Guanyin Bodhisattva still looked like a gentle village woman and asked.
"We came from somewhere else and are going to where we are going." Lin Biao on the side replied.
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Lin Biao's Samsara Eye with great interest, and after a long time he said, "Who do you study under?"
"world."
"It's not easy." Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded approvingly, "Follow me to the Western Heaven to see the Tathagata."
This was a straightforward statement, with no questioning tone and seemingly no room for negotiation. It was just three words: follow me.
"All appearances are false. If you see all appearances that are not true, you will see the Tathagata."
Lin Biao did not agree or refute, he just recited a sutra.
Guanyin Bodhisattva's words are easy to understand. She wants to take Lin Biao to the west to see Tathagata Buddha. However, Lin Biao's answer is not simple. This verse from the "Diamond Sutra" means the appearance of all things you can see. , are all false and untrue. If you can keep your original mind and not be fooled by these appearances when you see them, and you can realize that the appearances you see are not the real appearances, then you can reach the state of Tathagata.
Although what he said was completely different from what Guanyin said, it contained some extremely mysterious tricks that cleverly blocked Guanyin's invitation.
However, what everyone in the team and even Qi Zhen didn't know was that the "Diamond Sutra" was one of the 5,048 volumes of Mahayana Buddhist scriptures that Monk Tang took in the West.
"Since you have achieved the right fruition, why do you need to seek the true scriptures?" Guanyin Bodhisattva asked again.
"Cultivation is not cultivation, righteousness is not righteousness, fruit is not fruit, seeking is not seeking, truth is not true, scripture is not scripture." Lin Biao replied again.
"My Buddha has traveled through countless universes, how do you know what is wrong and what is wrong?" Guanyin Bodhisattva asked.
These three words "Fei Fei Fei" were a bit difficult to pronounce, making everyone in the team confused, but Lin Biao understood them.
"So we should seek the cause of the cause and the effect of the effect. We should not give up day and night, and we should observe it like this." Lin Biao replied.
"Okay, okay." Guanyin Bodhisattva said three good words in a row, nodded approvingly, and then turned to Qi Zhen and said: "The reincarnation of cause and effect has its own heavenly way, which cannot be changed by human beings. Even I, the Buddha, can do the same. Then The monkey only has his share of cause and effect, and so do you. I, the Buddha, am compassionate and hope to ensure that the reincarnation of the three realms and six paths will never end. I consider that even I cannot see it clearly, but all things cultivate towards good and achieve positive results, just as I hope."
"I probably understand what you mean, but how you arrange a person's life, oh no, a monkey's life, is it fair to him?" Qi Zhen asked in return.
"Is it fair for you to come into this world?" Guanyin Bodhisattva asked him with a smile.
Qi Zhen was speechless.
No matter whether Guanyin Bodhisattva was talking about the team's arrival in the world of Journey to the West or Qi Zhen's personal birth into this world, he could not answer.
"I still have a question." Qi Zhen knew that she couldn't figure out this kind of Buddhist question in a short time, but she also knew that she couldn't follow the other person's ideas, so she continued: "Just now you said you also want to All living beings in the world have cultivated to the right level, but if all living things in the world have cultivated to become Buddhas, will there be any Buddhas in the world?"
Lin Biao turned to look at Qi Zhen and asked, "When did Qi Zhen start studying cause and effect?"
"I don't know." Guanyin Bodhisattva's smile became even brighter after being surprised, "You should seek the cause of the cause and the effect of the effect. Day and night, you should observe like this."
This sentence was just said by Lin Biao, and was thrown back unchanged by the Bodhisattva.
"I just think it's too hard for the Great Sage to be manipulated like this by you." Qi Zhen knew he couldn't defeat her, so she murmured in a low voice.
"In life and death, there are real feelings of happiness. The Bodhisattva Mahasattva never abandons the nature of pain and happiness, so he says that everything is suffering." The Bodhisattva put his hands together and said, "All life is suffering, and we can only overcome it by ourselves."
"Bodhisattva, you win, I can't defeat you." Qi Zhen also clasped her hands together, just begging for mercy.
"Don't worry, you will be happy after all the hardships. When he achieves the right fruition, I will not treat him badly." The Bodhisattva said with a smile.
"This sentence sounds quite similar to me. You finally said something..." Qi Zhen originally wanted to say "human words", but then she realized that the person in front of her was Guanyin Bodhisattva, so she quickly swallowed these two words. Went back.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was not annoyed at all and waved his hand seemingly casually.
At this time, everyone in the team discovered that Tang Seng's body, which had been lying prostrate, never got up.
He seemed completely unaware of the conversation between the crowd and the Bodhisattva, and was still immersed in the joy of getting the flower hat and the tight mantra.
Everyone was awestruck, even Lin Biao and Qi Zhen were no exception. No one noticed when the Bodhisattva solidified the flow of time around Tang Monk.
"Xuan Zang, there are three disciples waiting for you ahead. Wait for the monkey to come back, and you will be on your way as soon as possible." The Bodhisattva reached out and pointed, and a light shone in front of Tang Monk's forehead, and the tightening curse was deeply ingrained in his mind. among.
"My disciple, thank you Bodhisattva." Tang Monk said.
The figure of the Bodhisattva gradually faded away and disappeared between heaven and earth.
"Shuai Lin, what do you mean by what you said to the Bodhisattva just now?" Liang Sicheng asked in confusion.
"Buddha said: Don't say it." Lin Biao said with a smile.
"I don't like to talk." Liang Sicheng snorted.
"But you two are so brave, that's Guanyin Bodhisattva!" Zhang Qi said with a shocked expression.
"Who is not a Bodhisattva?" Qi Zhen said at this time.
"What?!" Wang Jianguo seemed to have heard some great gossip, and he became more excited.
"It's nothing, we'll talk about it later." Qi Zhen nuzzled towards Tang Monk.
Everyone in the team seemed to be aware of this and stopped talking.
…
Sun Wukong did not return to Huaguo Mountain, although he would return to his one-third of an acre of land when he was driven away by Tang Monk countless times on his way westward.
For example, when he was playing the real and fake Monkey King, or when he was fighting against the Bone Demon three times, but this time, he really didn't go back.
He was upset and had nothing to do, so he turned over.
Then I took a closer look, yo, this place seems a bit familiar.
After all, he was a naughty monkey, as was the nature of a child. He soon forgot about Tang Seng's attack on him, and without even thinking about it, he dived into the vast sea below.
As soon as he got into the sea, he turned his head as if aware of it, looked into the void and said coldly: "Come out here."
"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"
A ripple in space emerged out of thin air, and a pretty woman appeared in front of Sun Wukong. Who else would it be if it wasn't Nuolan?
"You little girl, why are you following me?" Sun Wukong asked.
"The Great Sage said before that he would take us to meet all kinds of gods, but he just left, so I can only follow you." Nuo Lan chuckled, his eyes full of cunning.
Sun Wukong just remembered this. He was originally being polite, but how could this girl take it seriously?
"The environment down here is not very good. Can you, a little girl, handle it?" Sun Wukong asked.
This means that Nuolan, as a mortal, may not be able to withstand the huge water pressure at the bottom of the sea.
"Yeah." Nuolan nodded.
"Then just follow me." Sun Wukong ignored him and swam downwards by himself.
The two of them didn't realize that a group of small fish had already swam towards the bottom of the sea at an extremely fast speed when they saw the two of them.
The sea in this world is indeed different from that in that world.
The most obvious thing is that the light in the sea is not much weaker than on the sea, which means it is a bit brightly lit.
At this time, in the Undersea Dragon Palace, a turtle wearing an official hat and a very long beard anxiously came to the main hall and reported to the Dragon King above the seat.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" The Dragon King of East China Sea was a little unhappy.
His body is human, but his head is still in the shape of a mighty dragon, and he looks very powerful.
"Report, report, report, report...!" Prime Minister Turtle stammered.
"Whoever hugs you, you are thousands of years old, don't be ashamed." The Dragon King of the East China Sea glared and said angrily.
"Report... report to the Dragon King!" Guicheng waved his hands.
"What's the matter? Tell me!" Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, said angrily.
"Sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun..." Prime Minister Gui became more and more anxious and at a loss for words.
"What grandson?"
"Alright, alright, alright..." Guicheng waved his hands in succession.
"Qi what?"
"Monkey monkey monkey monkey monkey!!" Prime Minister Turtle almost cried.
