Taibai Jinxing was confused at the time.
Because he never expected that the three monsters would not dare to eat Tang San Burian, but Tang San Burian would actually eat them...
He looked at the fat beef, bear paws, and roasted tiger meat in the pot, and his face couldn't help but tremble, thinking:
I asked you not to hurt Tang Sanzong... I didn't ask you to be his food...
He looked at Tang San's burial and said:
"How come they have become your food?"
Tang Sanzian said calmly: "Because I was hungry and they wouldn't eat me, so I ate them."
"They just let you eat?" Taibai Jinxing asked.
"Are you stupid? They definitely don't want to. Anyway, I just ate them. Do you have any objections?" Tang Sanzian frowned.
Taibai Jinxing thought, what can he say?
So what if I have an opinion?
Faced with Tang Sanfu, who had a well-established reputation and was the Buddhist scripture seeker appointed by the Heavenly Court, what could Taibai Jinxing do to him?
All I can say is: "You are a monk, how can you break the precepts of killing and eating?"
Tang Sanzong retorted:
"They captured me, ate my followers, and starved me. I killed them to protect myself and ate them to fill my stomach.
So, what I call emergency avoidance, do you understand emergency avoidance? If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will kill you too? "
Taibai Jinxing was suddenly speechless and said:
"What I mean is...you can't kill them and eat them...at least you shouldn't..."
Tang Sanzian frowned: "You talk a bit too much!"
Taibai Jinxing was immediately nervous. He didn't know why, but facing this Tang Sanzong, he was actually a little scared.
Could it be that Jingchanzi’s cultivation is still there?
After all, he was the destined person of Buddhism, and Taibai Jinxing couldn't possibly do anything to Tang Sanzong, so he sighed, turned around and left.
Tang Sanzian looked at Taibai Jinxing leaving, snorted coldly and said:
"Heaven and the West are not good things. Fortunately, I am not a good thing either."
With that said, he continued to eat.
…
At this moment, heaven!
Lingxiao Palace.
The majestic emperor is sitting above, wearing a gold glazed crown, bright yellow Hanguang clothes, auspicious cloud shoes, and a jade in his hand.
It is the Jade Emperor who rules the three realms.
Directly below, on the twelve-grade golden lotus platform, sits a fat monk with a dignified appearance.
The monk has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, a round face, thick lips, big earlobes, and a bun on his head, which shows that his Dharma is profound and he has reached the state of being an ancestor.
He is the Tathagata Buddha of Western Buddhism.
I saw the Tathagata slowly opening his mouth and saying:
"Your Majesty, this time I am spreading the Dharma from the West to the East, and we have a long way to go. We need people to learn the scriptures and go through eighty-one difficulties, so that we can show the exquisiteness of my Dharma and let the people in the East know that my Western scriptures are hard to find. Therefore, only then can we sincerely pray for the Dharma." Buddha……"
The Jade Emperor smiled indifferently. The spread of Buddhism's Dharma was not a good thing for Taoism, but it was a good thing for the Jade Emperor.
Although he was born in Taoism, most of the Taoist gods are free, lazy and unrestrained. Just a monkey is causing trouble in the heaven, and the Taoists who are capable turn a blind eye and do not help.
Even the third-generation disciples like Erlang Shen did not listen to the announcement, which made the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the three realms, very angry.
Therefore, Buddhism, which is relatively more willing to be obedient and willing to take care of the Jade Emperor's face, is prepared to check and balance Taoism.
This move is intended to elevate Buddhism and undermine Taoism.
After all, when he became the Jade Emperor, he didn't care about his Taoist background. He only wanted to seize power and control the three realms through checks and balances.
So, the Jade Emperor spoke:
"It is a good thing for Buddhism to spread eastward and give the world more faith!"
Buddha nodded slightly and then said:
"What I mean is that the gods in heaven can also send monsters, and I, the Buddha, will also send monsters. Plus the monsters on the westward journey, we will have enough disaster."
The Jade Emperor narrowed his eyes: "Oh? What Lord Buddha means is that the monsters sent by you and me are responsible for the calamity. Afterwards, the mounts of the Buddhist sect in heaven will be returned in full. The monsters in the lower world deserve to be beaten to death."
The Buddha smiled: "Amitabha, that's good, that's good..."
The two talked a lot and thought they had decided a lot of things here.
However, they did not know that the person they chose to learn from the experience would not be able to follow their planned script.
In fact, all their plans have begun to break.
…
At this moment, Tang San Burial had continued westward. After walking for half a day, he encountered a tiger blocking his way again.
I saw that he was not afraid, he took out the dried tiger meat on his body, sneered and said:
"You beast, look carefully. I have eaten the flesh of your ancestor tiger monster. How dare you live and die?"
The tiger did have a spirit, and he knew the meat of the tiger demon. When he saw the monk eating the dried tiger meat, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.
At this time, a big man wearing a bamboo hat happened to see it and was suddenly surprised:
"The mage was so impressive that he scared away the tiger. But why not kill the beast?"
Tang Monk laughed, took a bite of tiger demon meat jerky, and said:
"A monk should be compassionate and not kill any living being."
The big man held up his hands and said, "You are indeed an eminent monk. I admire you."
Tang Sanbian waved his hand: "Where is it, I...well, I won't tell you more, poor monk. Oh, no hair, that's good, that's good, donor, take your leave."
The big man watched Tang Sanzong leave with admiration.
After walking for another half day, a large mountain appeared in front of us. The mountain was divided into two boundaries. One side was the Tang Dynasty territory, and the other side was the Tatar territory.
Hence the name, Two Boundaries Mountain.
The old name of Liangjie Mountain is Five Elements Mountain!
When he arrived here, Tang Sanzong smiled slightly:
"Then the monkey is here. The bandit gang of Journey to the West is indispensable!"
So, he rode into the mountain and found a monkey with its head exposed between a stone box in the mountain.
At first glance, it seems to be one with the rocks.
The stone monkey was covered by weeds, and no trace of the majesty of the Great Sage could be seen when he was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
"Oh, we slaughter Buddha..."
Tang Sanzong clasped his hands together, stepped forward slowly, and said:
"Monkey, I...I'm late..."
"roll!"
"Forehead……"
Tang San was not angry either. He stepped forward and took a closer look. This stone monkey had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a scary face. Its eyes were full of vicissitudes of life, but there was still a hint of golden light in the pupils.
However, he was very indifferent at the moment. He saw Tang San's burial but seemed not to see it.
"Ah~ tsk tsk tsk, this appearance fits the temperament of the most ruthless gangster I have ever sat down with.
Monkey, I see that you have ugly facial features and an evil face. At first glance, you look like a one-of-a-kind bandit genius.
I have a way to seize territory in the West, how about it? Do you dare to join? "
Only now did the monkey take a closer look at the bald head in front of him.
He wears a big gold chain and gilded short sleeves, with a bare head and a sinister look on his face.
Is this the Buddhist scripture seeker that Guanyin asked her to wait here?
No, go to the West to grab territory?
Aren't you going to get the Western Meridian?
So, the monkey finally spoke:
"Aren't you a scripture seeker? Monk, let's talk first. I, Old Sun, have no interest in fetching Western scriptures. I think I will be forced here and my skills are not as good as others. I agree.
However, if you want me to bow my head and admit defeat, go to the West to get some bullshit scriptures, oh, don’t treat me like a monkey.
But when Lao Sun comes out and continues to practice, he still has to find his place. Without him, being a monkey is just a word for stepping on a horse: stubborn! "
Tang Sanfun walked up and slapped the monkey on the face, and cursed:
"Just pretend to be cool, why can't your ears work well? I said to grab the territory, but you told me to take the Western Meridian?"
The monkey is confused!
The mighty Monkey King, the Monkey King, just had a big mouthful.
"Monk, only Lao Sun is being held down, otherwise I will slap you to death... Wait, are you sure you are talking about... grabbing territory? The monk Guanyin is talking about is not you?"
"It's me, but why should I listen to her and go get the Western Scriptures? I'm sick, so I have to go all the way to get the Scriptures? I can't even get a wife. Are you going to seize the land?"
I don’t know why, but Monkey Sun felt that this monk was a bit pleasing to his eyes, so he said:
"I'm not interested in taking the West Meridian, but we can talk about grabbing the land."
