The water and land conference was successfully held, and Tang Seng entered the sight of Tang Wang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Tang Seng is not called Tang Seng or Tang Sanzang, and now he does not have a legal name, only a layman's name: Chen Yi (yi).

Chen Yi was originally the second disciple who sat down in Rulai, and his body was a strange insect during the flood period: the golden cicada, and he had been preaching for 10,000 years.

There is a saying in the Journey to the West: 'If you eat Tang monk meat, you can live forever!' ’

Although this sentence is absurd, it is not groundless.

The meat of the golden cicada does have the effect of prolonging life.

Five hundred years ago, after suppressing the monkeys, Rulai began to select people who traveled to the west.

Who will you send down to earth?

If a person with a low cultivation level enters samsara, it is easy to lose his Buddha nature.

Once you lose your Buddha nature, it's not easy to bring back to the Buddha path.

And for those who have cultivated high, no one wants to go!

These people, at least after 10,000 years, 10 years of hard cultivation, and most of them have gone through millions or even 10 million years of hard cultivation, who is willing to give up their cultivation?

No one willing!

If they are forced to persecute them, once they provoke the anger of the people, they may unite with other Buddhas to overthrow their position.

Buddhism is not only one Buddha, but also the ancient Buddha who lit the lamp in the past, and the Maitreya Buddha in the future.

Therefore, you can only choose a person who is highly cultivated and has an easy grasp.

Thinking about it, I thought of the golden cicada.

Golden silkworms are very suitable.

First, Jin Chanzi doesn't like to travel, has no friends, belittles him, and there are not too many people who stand out for him.

Second, as soon as the golden cicada dies, everyone can eat the flesh of the golden silkworm and increase the longevity.

As we all know: if you don't become holy, you will end up as an ant.

Even if you have a lifespan of millions of years, a lifespan of tens of millions of years, or even a lifespan of 10,000 years, there will be a day when your longevity will run out.

The reason why everyone is willing to participate in the peach festival is precisely because eating peach can increase life.

Compared with peaches, eating the meat of golden cicadas is better, and everyone has been greedy for a long, long time!

Jin Chanzi is kind and low-key, and he has never found the fault of Jin Chanzi.

As a last resort, I came to find an excuse to 'despise the Dharma'!

What does it mean to despise the Dharma?

Reciting sutras quickly, I can say that you deal with business and despise the Dharma.

If you are slow to recite sutras, I can say that you are absent-minded, and you can be regarded as despise the Dharma.

If you don't read it quickly or slowly, I can still say that you don't get distracted, and you are still contemptuous of the Dharma.

If you want to add sin, why should you do it?

The golden cicada was demoted to the mortal world because of his contempt for Buddhism.

Pathetic, right?

And that's not to be pitiful!

The body of Jin Chanzi is an insect, not big, yes, the amount of meat is limited, only enough for the high-level of Buddhism to eat.

Other people want to eat it, so what should I do?

Someone came up with an idea:

There are still hundreds of years left before the Journey to the West plan, and we can let the golden silkworm be reincarnated a few more times!

Death once is death, death twice is death, and what does it matter if you die a few more times?

Although the golden silkworm is not the main body after reincarnation, the effect of the meat is greatly reduced, but it is better than eating nothing, right?

Therefore, every time the golden cicada is reincarnated, when he grows into a teenager, someone will lure him to the west to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures.

Every time he came to the quicksand river, the golden cicada would be killed by Sha Wujing.

As the executioner who killed the golden cicada, Sha Wujing's reward was: a head.

The limbs and body of the golden cicada are shared by the people of Buddhism.

When Tang Seng accepted Sha Wujing as an apprentice, the skull necklace around Sha Wujing's neck was the refining of the head of the ninth generation of the Golden Cicada.

On the way to learn the scriptures, why didn't Sha Wujing speak: his heart is empty!

……

On this day, Chen Yi was ordered by the king of Tang to explain the "Persuasion and Cultivation Volume" for the monks participating in the water and land conference, as well as the civil and military affairs of the imperial court.

Speaking of the wonderful, the people heard the wonderful......

"Haha!" A discordant laughter interrupted Xuanzang's speech, and everyone followed the prestige, only to see two monks, one old and one young, coming to the podium, and the old monk said: "That monk, you talk about it, only talk about Hinayana Buddhism, why don't you talk about Mahayana Buddhism?" ”

Chen Yi stood up, raised his hand and said: "This master is polite, I am a monk from Dongtu, I am a monk in the East, and I am learning Hinayana Buddhism, and the poor monk does not know how Mahayana Buddhism is?" ”

The old monk laughed: "I heard that this water and land conference is to transcend the undead in the earthly mansion, but unfortunately, your Hinayana teachings can only be vulgar and light, and the deceased cannot be exalted." I have the Mahayana Buddhism Sanzang, which can transcend the deceased and ascend to heaven, overcome the suffering of difficult people, cultivate immeasurable longevity, be able to come and go, solve the knot of injustice, and eliminate the calamities of no reason......"

King Tang was overjoyed and asked, "That monk, I don't know where your Mahayana Dharma is now?" ”

The old monk replied: "Xitian Da Lei Yin Temple, where my Buddha came." ”

Tang Wang said again: "The old monk may talk about it?" ”

The old monk nodded slightly.

Tang Wang said happily: "Please ask the old master to come to the stage to speak." ”

The old monk walked to the stage, his tongue bloomed with lotus flowers, his mouth was like a river, his witty words were full of beads, and he talked endlessly, and everyone who spoke directly was fascinated.

After the old monk finished speaking, everyone woke up from the intoxication, and only then did they find that those who were sick were immediately improved, those who were injured were immediately healed, and those who were depressed were immediately able to understand their minds.

Even the withered peach trees in the garden sprouted new shoots and blossomed into peach blossoms, becoming vibrant.

King Tang was about to step forward to talk to the old monk, when the old monk suddenly rose into the clouds, went straight to the sky, and the Bodhisattva Dharma body appeared in the air.

The king of Tang was both surprised and delighted, and led the ministers of civil and military affairs, monks and nuns, and the people who watched the excitement, knelt on the ground to burn incense, and worshiped to the sky.

The auspicious clouds of the Bodhisattva faded away, and a golden slip fell in the air, with a few lines of large characters on it:

On the ceremony, the Tang Dynasty, there is a wonderful text in the West. The journey is 108,000 miles, and the Mahayana is diligent.

This scripture returns to the kingdom and can surpass the ghosts. If there are those who are willing to go, seek the golden body of righteousness.

King Tang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately asked the monks: "Who is willing to receive my will and go to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures?" ”

Chen Yi stepped forward to give a salute: "The poor monk is not talented, I am willing to go to the west to seek the true scriptures, and pray to ensure that my king's country is forever." ”

King Tang stepped forward to help Chen Yi up, and said happily: "The mage is not afraid of long journeys, not afraid of trekking mountains and rivers, I am willing to marry you as brothers of the opposite sex." ”

Chen Yi said movingly: "I am loved by the king, I can't repay it, today the poor monk made a big vow: not to the west sky, vow not to return!" ”

……

On the day of Chen Yi's westward journey, the Tang King was in the west of Chang'an City, and the Shili Pavilion sent him off.

King Tang asked, "Does the royal brother have a law name?" ”

"Haven't the poor monks ever taken the Dharma name?"

King Tang suggested: "The Bodhisattva said that there are Mahayana Buddhism Sanzang in the Western Heavens, and I will refer you to the scriptures and take the number, how about calling them 'Sanzang'?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I take the name of the country and give the surname to the royal brother, the surname is Tang, Tang Sanzang!"

Tang Sanzang was born!

The king of Tang ordered someone to send a purple gold bowl, clear the customs documents, walk on a white horse, and ordered someone to bring a glass of water and wine and hand it to Tang Sanzang.

Tang Seng excused himself: "Wine is the first precept of Buddhism, and poor monks can't drink!" ”

Tang Wang shook his head and said, "Today is not the same time, this is vegetarian wine, only this glass, it is my farewell!" ”

Tang Seng had no choice but to obey orders, and when he was about to drink, Tang Wang said again: "Slow! "Anyway, pinch a few grains of dust from the ground and sprinkle them into a wine glass!"
