Chapter Seventy-Five: Stealing Incense
Tang Xuanzang didn't believe that she could be willing.
In the status of Buddhism, Guanyin is for example, to be lower.
But in the whole world, Heavenly Court is the nominal master, but in fact it only controls the Dongsheng Divine Continent.
And the West Rulai and the South China Sea Guanyin are equivalent to the princes, sitting on one side.
It's just that Lingshan controls the entire Xiniu Hezhou, while Guanyin's influence in Nanzhan Buzhou is not strong, and he can only control his own South China Sea.
No matter how small the princes are, they are equal to the big princes in terms of status.
It's just that within Buddhism, the status of the two is unequal.
This deformed relationship complicates the relationship between Rulai and Guanyin.
From within Buddhism, Guanyin should obey the Buddha. In terms of the whole world, the two are actually competitive.
Lingshan is not satisfied with the status quo and wants to further expand its power, Beiju Luzhou is a reckless land, mostly uncivilized, and the forces are numerous and complex.
Dongsheng Divine Continent is too far away, and it is the direct sphere of influence of Heavenly Court. In this way, the best choice is Nanzhan Buzhou.
With a large population in Nanzhan Buzhou and a powerful country like the Tang Dynasty, it is much easier to increase the influence of Buddhism, especially Lingshan.
What's more, Guanyin is also of Buddhism.
If she has a higher status in Buddhism than her, it is also very easy to do it with her.
It was precisely knowing the competitive relationship between the two that Tang Xuanzang dared to be so sure that Guanyin could join forces with him and mess up the westward journey.
Nanhai Guanyin still didn't say anything, just stared at Tang Xuanzang calmly.
Tang Xuanzang showed a shy expression and said, "If you look at me like this, I will be shy." ”
While speaking, Tang Xuanzang had already arrived in front of Guanyin in the South China Sea, and the two of them were close at hand, and they were as far away as the end of the world.
"Who are you?" Nanhai Guanyin still asked that question.
Tang Xuanzang put away his expression and said: "I am Tang Xuanzang, Master Sanzang, the imperial brother of the Tang Dynasty, the person who learns the scriptures, and the ...... Golden cicada. ”
"Is there any way you can help me?" Nanhai Guanyin was expressionless.
Tang Xuanzang retorted word by word: "It's not me who helps you, but you who help me." ”
"To help me is to help yourself. ”
Nanhai Guanyin did not respond, waiting for his explanation.
"You just don't want Lingshan to dye the Dao Zhanbu Continent, but now that the plan has been launched, you don't seem to have a chance?" Tang Xuanzang asked.
Without waiting for her to speak, Tang Xuanzang stretched out a finger, shook it in front of him, and said, "No, you still have a chance." ”
Tang Xuanzang stared at her eyes as beautiful as gems and as deep as the sea, and said a fact: "I haven't retrieved Mahayana Buddhism yet, and I haven't opened an altar in the Tang Dynasty to preach Mahayana Buddhism, so you still have a chance." ”
"I didn't mean to take Mahayana Buddhism, but I also wanted to collect these monsters on the road, or they were disobedient in Buddhism, or wild, or sent by other forces. ”
Tang Xuanzang saw that she didn't refute, so he continued: "What is the force? ”
"One person is not a force, at most it is only a deterrent. And if a person's words are deterrent, no matter how deterrent they are, what you are deterring is someone else's power, and they may not listen to you. ”
"So, there have to be someone. Even, you have to dig people. ”
Tang Xuanzang said this, paused, and then continued: "Traveling west is a very good process of acceptance. ”
"If he wants us to help him subdue those unstable factors, why don't we take care of them and turn them all into our people?"
Seeing that Nanhai Guanyin seemed to be a little moved, Tang Xuanzang struck while the iron was hot and said: "If you agree, we will be allies in the future, and the monsters that can be subdued on the road are all yours." ”
Tang Xuanzang stared at her delicate sculptural face, not only her skin could be broken, but even every eyelash was flawless.
Suddenly, Tang Xuanzang saw that her head seemed to move slightly, but the amplitude was very small, like grass shaking, and it was difficult to be found.
Excited for a while, the two were close again, Tang Xuanzang could blow her eyelashes with a breath, looking at her lovely and delicate face, Tang Xuanzang pecked lightly, and then quickly separated.
At the moment of separation, Tang Xuanzang felt that the space that had been cut off was going back again, and hurriedly retreated, not giving Nanhai Guanyin a chance to go crazy.
Looking coldly at Tang Xuanzang who retreated, Nanhai Guanyin evaporated the remaining little water marks on her face, the surrounding qi was peaceful, but there was murder in her eyes.
This is also a coincidence tonight, but if he changes to another time and place, even if Tang Xuanzang has the heart, it is impossible to contact the body of Nanhai Guanyin.
This is the reason why he was obviously close to Nanhai Guanyin just now, but he felt far away in the sky.
Tang Xuanzang returned to the room and waited for a while, and found that Nanhai Guanyin did not chase after him, so he slept peacefully.
In the early morning of the next day, Dongfang had a white fish belly, and Sha Wujing woke up to see that there were no carved beams and paintings, but everyone was sleeping in the pine forest.
Frightened, Sha Wujing hurriedly called Tang Xuanzang up, and said in a panic: "Master, my master, you are still sleeping, do you know you if you are haunted!"
Tang Xuanzang understood in his heart, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"
"Look at us sleeping in the woods, it's not haunted, isn't it!" Sha Wujing babbled endlessly.
"It's okay for us to sleep in the woods, but your second senior brother will be miserable!" Tang Xuanzang said with a smile, he couldn't help but do that thing to Guanyin in the South China Sea, Guanyin didn't come to him, presumably Zhu Bajie's current appearance must be very good-looking.
"Why are we miserable?" asked Sha Wujing......
As he was talking, he saw a piece of paper pasted on the pine and cypress behind him, writing: "Old Mother Lishan is not Sifan, Nanhai Guanyin, please go down the mountain." Fuxian Manjushri is a guest, turning into a beautiful woman in the forest. The holy monk is virtuous and vulgar, and the eight precepts are more ordinary. From now on, meditation must be changed, if you are sluggish, the road will be difficult!"
It means that Nanhai Guanyin invited Lishan's mother, Fuxian, and Manjushri to do this scene.
praised Tang Xuanzang, saying that he was of noble character and had no mortal heart.
He also said that Zhu Bajie had no Zen heart, and was still greedy for the mundane, and asked him to reform himself.
Tang Xuanzang looked weird, he was actually the most excessive last night, Zhu Bajie didn't do anything, he was ugly, but he had to suffer such a big crime for him, and it was difficult for him.
A few people were watching, and they heard Zhu Bajie's voice from the depths of the forest: "Master, Master, help me, I don't dare anymore!"
The three of them followed the sound, and when they came to the front, they looked up and saw that Zhu Bajie was being held by a net, hanging in the air, and there were bruises all over his body.
"Master, brother, save me!"
Sun Wukong sneered: "Isn't this the son-in-law of the Jia family? What about your wife?
Zhu Bajie begged for mercy: "Master, senior brother, the old pig knows that he is wrong, and he will not dare next time!"
Several people ignored him, turned around and was about to leave, Tang Xuanzang didn't look back, and his backhand was a shot, breaking the rope.
"Smack!"
Zhu Bajie fell to the ground hard!
