Tang Seng's face was in disbelief, and his eyes were filled with sadness and sadness.
In his eyes, Tathagata Buddha is an omnipotent figure. As long as he is around, the world will return to beauty.
Therefore, Tathagata Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva can be said to be Tang Monk’s spiritual beliefs.
And now.
These beliefs are gone.
Tang Seng was like a man whose backbone had been broken. His whole body was paralyzed on the ground, as if he had become a puddle of mud, his eyes were dull and he was at a loss.
But soon, he looked up at Zhen Yuanzi and said urgently:
"Taoist Master, you lied to me, right? Right?"
"Why."
Zhen Yuanzi showed pity in his eyes and said softly:
"What do you have that I can deceive? Besides, this is Xiniu Hezhou, the headquarters of Buddhism. Sun Wukong and the others have broken up with you. No one from Buddhism has shown up. Isn't this enough to explain the problem?"
"But, but..."
"Nothing to worry about."
Zhen Yuanzi sighed:
"Elder Tang, I think you are kind and upright, and a rare good person. In this world, where curses are rampant and negative atmosphere is overwhelming, it is really rare for a good person like you to be born. So, I don't want to look at you. Go to hell.”
He pointed forward and said:
"Did you know? If you continue to go west, there is a high probability that the Buddhist forbidden land created by the broken arm will be swallowed up."
Tang Monk said angrily:
"I, I will take the long way around."
"You are so weak. Where can you detour to? You must know that the coverage area of this forbidden area is constantly expanding. Now it has expanded to a radius of 600 miles. I think it won't be long before it can be expanded to 3,000 miles. You alone A mortal man without any fighting ability carries a load and walks three thousand miles on a detour. Are you sure you won't die on the way?"
Tang Monk was speechless, and his expression became more and more confused and sad.
Without Sun Wukong and the others, he seemed to have become a useless person.
"Don't talk about detours, you have a problem eating now. This is a sparsely populated place, with many wild animals and few crops. In addition, in this season, some wild fruits are rare. If you have no one to help you, you will die sooner or later. Either starve to death, be eaten alive by wild beasts, or fall into the forbidden land and become one of the cursed aliens."
"Then, what should I do?"
Tang Monk looked at Zhen Yuanzi.
He is not stupid.
Now that Zhen Yuanzi showed up on his own initiative, he must have the intention to help him.
as expected.
Zhen Yuanzi said:
"Help people until the end. Since I have shown up, I will naturally help you. Do you want to continue learning from the scriptures, or follow your disciples to Huaguo Mountain?"
"I want to continue learning."
Tang Seng looked determined:
"I will not give up until I see the true scriptures and the Buddha."
"In that case, come with me."
Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand, and a breeze flashed past. Tang Seng and his burden were swallowed into Zhen Yuanzi's sleeves. Tang Seng lay on the soft sleeves with a look of surprise on his face:
"This is?"
"The source of the Taoist sequence curse: the mutation of the universe!"
Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile:
"You only have a balance sequence curse source in your body. It's normal to not understand this."
"I also have the source of the curse?"
"What else?"
Zhen Yuanzi chuckled:
"Why do you think those monsters want to touch you? tempt you? or even eat you? It's because you have at least one or two balanced sequence curse sources. I can't tell how many specifically. You have been poisoned by someone. You are shielded by a special curse source. If I forcefully break it, your soul will definitely be harmed. By then, you will be seriously injured and become an idiot, but it will be my fault."
Tang Seng's heart was boiling, and various thoughts were rolling in his mind. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Wait until you get Wuzhuang Temple.
Zhen Yuanzi flicked his sleeve, and Tang Seng was shot out and landed on the ground. In an instant, he changed from the size of a fingernail to the size of an ordinary person. He stood still and glanced around:
"Is this where the Taoist priest lives?"
"good."
Zhen Yuanzi nodded and said:
"Since you have no intention of going to Huaguo Mountain, you can stay here temporarily."
"But to learn from the experience..."
"Let's wait until the situation in the West becomes clearer about learning Buddhist scriptures. I don't want you to go there and die now."
Zhen Yuanzi looked at the location of the scenic spot in Lingshan, his eyes were shining brightly, as if he was mumbling to himself, or explaining to Tang Monk:
"Can you imagine the scene of detaining a Buddha like Sun Fo and being easily killed by a teenager?"
"Buddha is really dead?"
Although he had expected it, Tang Seng still couldn't accept it when he heard what Zhen Yuanzi said. He stumbled a little and almost collapsed to the ground.
"died."
Zhen Yuanzi nodded affirmatively:
"I saw it with my own eyes, and it can still be false. Not only the detainee Sun Fo, but also the Venerable and Arhat who followed him were trapped to death by one move. In that move, I heard the detainee Sun Fo say a name before he died. , seems to be called Infinite Mirror Sea World."
"Infinite Mirror Sea World?"
Tang Seng has never heard of it.
"This is also the first time I have heard of this name. I think that my ability to deduce budget is unparalleled in the world, but I am at a loss about this world of infinite mirror sea. This world of infinite mirror sea is silent and terrifying. Once it appears, it will cover the world. They detained Sun Fo and others, but they had no power to resist, so they were suppressed and killed."
"What about Tathagata Buddha?"
"Tathagata?"
Zhen Yuanzi took a deep breath and seemed to be forcibly suppressing the restless emotions in his heart:
"To be honest, I didn't think highly of Ding Ling before. I even thought that if Ding Ling could persist for a few more days under the pressure of Guanyin Bodhisattva and others, he would be a hero. But the facts are often unexpected. Until not long ago. The first battle shocked and excited me even more.”
"Are you excited?"
Tang Monk looked ugly:
"I am in trouble. Are you excited? Taoist priest, you, you, who are you?!"
"Didn't I say it? I am the owner of Wuzhuang Temple."
Zhen Yuanzi chuckled and said:
"As for why you are excited? Of course we share the same hatred."
'Same enemy? '
Tang Seng took two steps back:
"You, you are my enemy?!"
"You can say yes, you can say no."
"What's the meaning?"
"That's literally what it means."
Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Tang Seng, hesitated for a moment, and finally said:
"There is nothing that should not be said to others. I have a clear conscience about this matter, so it doesn't hurt to tell you."
He paused and said:
"The existence of my Wuzhuang Temple can be traced back to ancient times. A long time ago, I was the owner of this place. But the Buddhists thought that I was a hindrance and wanted to remove me as a thorn. They restricted me in every way, even this time I traveled to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures. Plan, I also have thoughts on my companion fruit tree and want to destroy it. If I don't agree, Buddhism will take action to suppress me.
I can only agree.
Fortunately, it is extremely lucky that before you arrived at Wuzhuang Temple, Ding Ling killed the Buddhists to a great extent, and it was difficult for them to gain momentum again. "
The more he talked, the happier he became. You must know that he is a Taoist, he is in a good mood, and will not be easily moved. Now he actually broke his guard in front of Tang Seng, opened his heart, and said a lot of things from his heart. It can be seen that the previous battle has brought him It's no exaggeration to say that it was such a psychological shock that it overturned his three views. Otherwise, why would he be like this?
"It's really unbelievable. I was shocked when I saw the detained Sun Buddha being killed in an instant. I was extremely surprised and curious about the sudden appearance of the young man, but the appearance of Tathagata Buddha later shocked me even more.
The young man just struck with one blow, and a shadow cut through the sky, cutting off the Buddha's hand that came from the air!
After the Buddha's hand was broken, the source of the curse was sucked out of it, making it difficult to recover.
Tathagata Buddha seemed to have given up the second trial attack, and everything has been calm since then.
The young man glanced at me before leaving. Just one glance made me tremble and almost make me unable to control myself. "
"Who is that boy?"
"As expected, it should be Ding Ling."
"Ding Ling?"
"good."
Zhen Yuanzi's chest was heaving. When they looked at each other, he accidentally fell into the abyss of Ding Ling's eyes. What kind of person was he? When they looked at each other, they easily lost to each other. This gave him a big blow and made him admire Ding Ling more and more.
I originally thought that Ding Ling would be dead if he persisted for a few days at most.
unexpectedly.
Ding Ling is much better than Sun Wukong.
From the beginning to the end, Sun Wukong never really had a head-to-head encounter with a big figure like Guanyin Bodhisattva. Ding Ling had, more than once, from the difficult escape at the beginning to the easy counterattack. How long did it take?
What kind of monster is this? Progress is so fast! !
Zhen Yuanzi has a feeling that he will live until his age! !
"I have often heard the legend of Ding Ling during this period, and I am very familiar with him. Naturally, I was curious about what he looked like, so I bought a portrait of him from some people who had seen him. I have to say, Ding Ling himself is a hundred or even a thousand times more powerful and majestic than he is in the portrait."
"Taoist Priest, can you tell me about Ding Ling's deeds?"
Before Tang Seng heard Ding Ling's stories, he had only heard them from his apprentices, monsters and others, which were somewhat one-sided.
He wanted to see what this immortal Taoist priest would say about Ding Ling.
"Can."
Zhen Yuanzi immediately began to narrate Ding Ling's deeds.
He was so busy during this period of time, and no one dared to talk to him directly. When Tang Monk appeared, Zhen Yuanzi naturally regarded him as a listener. In addition, he himself had indeed done detailed research and analysis on Ding Ling.
So when it comes to Ding Ling's story, it's very serious.
From Ding Ling's humble beginnings in Madam Bai's ancient city to now easily breaking Tathagata Buddha's arm, some of the stories he processed during this period have been told as magnificent and thrilling.
Tang Monk was fascinated by what he heard.
Wait until you finish listening.
I couldn't help but admire Ding Ling.
Although he was very angry at Ding Ling for breaking the Buddha's arm, Zhen Yuanzi said that Ding Ling's charm and talent were indeed rare in the world. Even Tang Monk himself couldn't help but admire and praise him.
"What a pity."
Tang Seng was upset:
"If Guanyin Bodhisattva had not killed him at that time, but had chosen to try to win him over, Ding Ling would never have been able to join Lingshan Resort and achieve the status of Buddha."
"Fortunately, we didn't win over each other. Otherwise, Lingshan Resort would be truly invincible."
Now that Zhen Yuanzi thinks about the battle between Ding Ling and Tathagata Buddha, he feels frightened. Masters compete with each other, and the outcome can be seen in a split second, which shows how dangerous it is.
Zhen Yuanzi dared to conclude that if he dared to provoke Ding Ling, he would probably be trapped and killed easily. Thinking about it, he felt a little dazed.
His time seemed long past.
The new era belongs to Ding Ling!
"..."
Tang Monk glanced at Zhen Yuanzi faintly and said nothing.
"...Elder Tang, please stay here for a while. You were taken directly to Wuzhuang Temple by me this time. Do you think that even if you really arrive at Lingshan Resort, is your journey to learn the scriptures still worth it?"
Zhen Yuanzi asked.
Tang Monk was stunned. According to Guanyin Bodhisattva, he must be steady and complete the path of Buddhist scriptures step by step. In this way, he really got lucky and must go back and walk again.
But thinking of the dangerous situation in that area, he was at a loss again.
Zhen Yuanzi advised:
"Let's rest for now. In my opinion, the battle between Buddhism and Shenmen is not far away. Even if you are determined to take the path of learning now, there is a high probability that you will be killed before the decisive battle between the two sides."
Tang Seng thought that he had no power to restrain the chicken, and had to admit that Zhen Yuanzi's words made sense.
From then on, he could only live in Wuzhuang Temple with peace of mind.
certainly.
He would also go to Zhen Yuanzi from time to time to get information.
Zhen Yuanzi seemed to have the magical power of "Heaven Listening" and "Heaven Calculation". Even if he stayed at home, he could still know the affairs of the world. On this day, he said to Tang Monk:
"Several of your disciples have all joined the Shenmen. Sun Wukong was favored by Ding Ling, became an elder, and was taught the secret book of magical skills. Now his strength has grown by leaps and bounds. He is now leading Zhu Bajie, Monk Sha, Bai Longma and the others. Heading towards heaven, it seems that we are going to conquer heaven.”
"...!!"
Tang Monk was sluggish.
"As expected of Sun Wukong who dared to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago."
Zhen Yuanzi praised;
"Now that Sun Wukong has the help of Ding Ling, the source of the curse has been cracked, he is relaxed, his suppressed soul has been released, and he has become more fierce and courageous. He has once again become the Qi Tian who dares to charge into battle and is not afraid of anything. The Great Sage."
"Is the source of the tight band curse gone?"
Tang Seng couldn't believe that this was the only bridge between him and Sun Wukong. This bridge was gone, and he would have no confidence to face Sun Wukong in the future.
"Not only was the source of the curse tightened, but the source of the strange beast curse of White Dragon Horse was also eliminated."
Zhen Yuanzi marveled:
"And it was easily lifted without harming the internal organs and souls of White Dragon Horse and Sun Wukong. How was this done? It's incredible!"
Zhen Yuanzi couldn't do this at all.
In his opinion, the source of Sun Wukong's tight curse is almost rooted in his mind and soul. If he wants to get rid of it, he must kill Sun Wukong.
Even the Righteous Lord Yin Bodhisattva and others may not be able to do anything about it.
But Ding Ling just lost it.
"Does even the Taoist priest think this is a miracle?"
"good."
Zhen Yuanzi had no intention of hiding anything. When facing Tang Monk, he was very calm:
"I can't do these things. Not only I can't do it. I think many ancient gods are powerless, but Ding Ling walked out intact less than a day after Sun Wukong entered the divine gate, and the golden hoop on his head disappeared. So In a short period of time, we have solved the source of such a tight curse that is almost incomprehensible and causes headaches. How powerful is this? It’s unimaginable!” (End of this chapter)
