At a grand gathering held by Zhen Yuanzi in Wuzhuang Temple, Jiang Heng decided to give a young man a chance because of a cup of tea.
The other strong men who saw this scene felt regretful in their hearts, wondering why they had not thought of such an opportunity as serving tea.
The man in front of him was the first generation human emperor of the human race. He had the reputation of being the first saint under the law of heaven in the entire prehistoric world.
Even just a few casual reminders are enough to benefit any strong person present, not to mention the opportunity mentioned by Jiang Heng.
What is certain is that the young man was extremely lucky this time to be favored by the Human Emperor and even be given a chance.
But at this time, it was already too late for all the powerful men present to do anything other than regret.
After all, only the first person to serve tea can show sincerity. If someone tries it again, the effect will no longer be there.
Amid the envious gazes of many strong men, Jiang Heng pointed out the target, hitting the young man between the eyebrows.
The young man fell into a daze in an instant. After a while, the young man woke up as if from a dream and bowed to Jiang Heng.
"Thank you, the Emperor, for this opportunity!" The young man said with great excitement, his face flushed.
No one knew what kind of opportunity Jiang Heng gave this young man, but judging from the young man's excited expression, this opportunity was definitely extraordinary.
"Hahaha! Since the Human Emperor has already taken action, I can't say no, so I will give you a ginseng fruit!" Zhen Yuanzi said.
Although ginseng fruit is of no use to a powerful person like Jiang Heng, it is still a rare treasure even for Daluo Jinxian.
The young man in front of him was only a Golden Immortal, and he must have followed his elders to participate in this grand event.
Now, having received the opportunity of being the Human Emperor, and being given a ginseng fruit by Zhen Yuanzi, it can be said that he has reached the sky in one step, how can he not be envied?
"If I am not mistaken, you should be a disciple of Mahayana Buddhism!" Jiang Heng asked.
"The young monk is indeed a disciple of Mahayana Buddhism. He is the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha!" The young man said respectfully.
"I have some friendship with the Great Sun Tathagata. When you go back and give this to him, he will naturally understand what I mean!"
When Jiang Heng spoke, he had already sent a jade slip to the young man. The young man did not dare to neglect and took the jade slip respectfully with both hands.
After some time, the grand gathering held by Zhen Yuanzi also came to an end, and Jiang Heng and Houtu Zuwu also quickly said goodbye and left.
"Is that young man just now the person you selected to learn the scriptures?" Hou Tu Zuwu asked on the way.
Hou Tuzu Wu and Jiang Heng have spent a lot of time together, and there are not many secrets between them.
When Jiang Heng gave the young man an opportunity, Houtu Zuwu already had some guesses about Jiang Heng's purpose.
"That's right! The Buddhist scripture seekers were originally supposed to come from Western religions, but after the Great Sun Tathagata took the lead, they were able to come from Mahayana Buddhism.
With my help again, it is a sure thing that that young man will become a Buddhist scripture seeker! Jiang Heng said.
In the original journey to the west, Tang Monk, the Buddhist scripture seeker, had a previous life as Jin Chanzi of the Western religion, and Jin Chanzi was a disciple of the saint of the Western religion.
It can be seen from this point that in the original historical trajectory, although the Taiqing saints used Mahayana Buddhism to divide the fate of Western religions.
But in the journey to the west, Western religion still occupies a dominant position. Maybe by that time, the Great Sun Tathagata would have already turned to Western religion.
In today's era, Jin Chanzi has become a marginalized figure in Western religion because of his failure in planning the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The pilgrims in the journey to the west are not only extremely important, but they are also destined to receive immeasurable merits and virtues. Naturally, it is not Jin Chanzi's turn.
In today's Mahayana Buddhism, the Great Sun Tathagata and a group of Western disciples have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time over the selection of Buddhist scriptures.
But today, Jiang Heng chose the young man just now as the person to learn the scriptures, which finally brought this matter to an end.
It's not that Jiang Heng has been able to interfere in the affairs of Western religions, and if the Journey to the West Tribulation is to proceed smoothly, Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor, must not be bypassed.
After all, the person who wants to learn the scriptures must come from the human race. If Jiang Heng doesn't nod and agree, no matter how many candidates the Western Church has, it will be in vain.
Nowadays, in Mahayana Buddhism, the Great Sun Tathagata has already occupied a certain advantage, and it is probably only a matter of time before it completely overwhelms the Western disciples.
Now, with the full support of Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor, there is no longer any suspense about the candidate for the study.
The Great Sun Tathagata was naturally happy to see this happen. After all, the young man Jiang Heng selected was the second disciple of the Great Sun Tathagata.
"I'm afraid the two saints of the Western Sect will be depressed again!" Hou Tu Zuwu said with a chuckle.
The two saints of the Western religion couldn't stand the Tathagata. If possible, the two saints of the Western religion would like to have the Tathagata completely destroyed.
This time, in the matter of suppressing Sun Wukong, the Western Sect has suffered a huge defeat, and now it even lost the candidate to learn the scriptures.
Journey to the West Calamity has gradually escaped the control of the two saints of the Western religion, and has fully tilted towards Mahayana Buddhism. How can they not be depressed?
"Just be depressed if you're depressed! When the Tribulation of Journey to the West really starts, they will be depressed a lot!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.
In Jiang Heng's opinion, where are we now? The real drama will not take place until the drama of seeking scriptures from the West begins.
When the time comes, the two saints of the Western Church will soon discover that everything they have planned so hard is actually making wedding clothes for others.
However, the two saints of the Western religion have not been able to do anything about this. Only then will they become so depressed that they want to vomit blood.
On the other side, the young man took the jade slip given to him by Jiang Heng and did not dare to neglect it at all. He quickly returned to Mahayana Buddhism to meet the Great Sun Tathagata.
"For the record, Buddha, this disciple met the Human Emperor by chance in Wuzhuang Temple, and asked him to hand over this jade slip to Buddha!" the young man said respectfully.
The Great Sun Tathagata took the jade slip with an expressionless face. After reading it, he pondered for a while and then said:
"Sanzo, it has been ten thousand years since you became my disciple!"
"Reporting to the Buddha, this disciple was indeed fortunate enough to be accepted by the Buddha as his sect within ten thousand years, and this is how he achieved his current level of cultivation!" Sanzang said.
"It takes ten thousand years to cultivate to the Golden Immortal Realm. Such a cultivation speed can't be said to be slow, but it can't be said to be fast either!" said the Great Sun Tathagata.
"My disciple is stupid and has failed the Buddha's expectations!" Sanzang said with shame.
In fact, among all the disciples of Mahayana Buddhism, Tripitaka is actually considered to be outstanding in terms of his cultivation speed.
After all, it is extremely rare for fateful protagonists like Yang Jian and Sun Wukong to possess extremely incredible cultivation speeds.
It is actually normal for creatures in the prehistoric world to cultivate to the realm of Golden Immortal, which can take anywhere from ten thousand years to hundreds of thousands of years.
As for the original Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao, after practicing for who knows how many years, aren't they still just Golden Immortals?
Even so, the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao are already well-known and powerful in the world.
Sanzang was able to cultivate to the Golden Immortal Realm in just ten thousand years. As the second disciple of the Great Sun Tathagata, this is absolutely qualified.
"Although you are not as defiant as Sun Wukong, you are still extremely talented. What's more, you still have great opportunities.
Now, there is a huge opportunity falling on your head, but you just don’t know if you are willing to accept it! " said the Great Sun Tathagata.
Sanzang was slightly startled, and immediately thought of Jiang Heng, and couldn't help but ask: "Is it because of the Human Emperor?"
The Great Sun Tathagata nodded, told one by one about the journey to the west, and finally said in a deep voice:
"The people who learn the scriptures are very important. They are crucial to the success or failure of the journey to the west. Only those with great perseverance cannot take on this important task!
But since the Human Emperor has chosen you, you are naturally outstanding. But if you want to become a Buddhist scripture seeker, you must reincarnate into the human race.
Only by going through hardships can you achieve success. At that time, with the immeasurable merits and virtues, you can awaken your past life memories, if you are willing! "
Sanzang's face inevitably showed a look of excitement. How could he not be excited when such a huge opportunity fell on him?
As for whether to answer or not? Only a fool would miss such a huge opportunity! Not to mention anything else, just with the immeasurable merit added to one's body, one's cultivation level will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
"No matter what kind of hardships I have to go through, I am willing to endure it!" Sanzang said firmly, finally suppressing his inner excitement.
"That's very good. You should prepare first. In three days, I will arrange everything and personally send you to the Six Paths of Reincarnation!" said the Great Sun Tathagata.
Regarding the selection of Buddhist scripture collectors, there is still endless debate in Mahayana Buddhism today, and the Great Sun Tathagata only has the upper hand.
But with Jiang Heng's support, there was no longer any suspense for Sanzang to become a Buddhist Buddhist, and the Great Sun Tathagata was naturally full of confidence.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Great Sun Tathagata can also beat the disciples of the Western Sect, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
The Great Sun Tathagata was eager to deal with the disciples of the Western Sect, but at this time, Sanzang's heart was still full of unquenchable excitement.
"The Human Emperor really didn't lie to me. This is indeed a great opportunity. Once my merits are fulfilled, I'm afraid I will be able to step into the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal!" Sanzang thought to himself.
Tripitaka already knows what it means to be a sutra seeker from the mouth of Great Sun Tathagata, and he naturally knows what benefits will come once the merits are perfected.
What's more, there is one thing that Sanzang didn't even tell the Great Sun Tathagata. That is, the opportunity Jiang Heng gave him was not just to become a Buddhist learner.
In the Wuzhuang Temple, Jiang Heng pointed out a technique and had already introduced it into Sanzang's mind.
"The Treasure of the Cricket? What kind of skill is this? Why have you never heard of it? But since it was passed down by the Human Emperor, I'm afraid it is extraordinary!" Sanzang murmured to himself.
But what makes Sanzang quite distressed is that he is about to enter the six realms of reincarnation and become a human race, and the memories of his previous life are being lost.
Without the records of previous lives, what would happen even if there were unbelievable skills? However, how could Jiang Heng not consider this?
