Chapter 191: A Drink and a Peck
Nonsense, how could a poor monk have such thoughts? ”
Tang Sanzang responded to Ao Yu's question in his mind almost without hesitation. "It's not a secret, the poor monk is sitting on this incense cart, but he doesn't feel very stable, he shakes very much, but in fact he has infinite anxiety and panic, but he is just forced to be helpless."
……
I have to say that Tang Sanzang's efforts in just a few words were to properly appease Ao Yu's inexplicable emotions, and he really deserved to be a generation of holy monks.
Immediately, in order to avoid gossip and unnecessary speculation, Tang Sanzang even restrained his expression, sat on the incense cart with a calm appearance, and even recited scriptures leisurely.
"The relics, the color is not different from the emptiness, the emptiness is not different from the color, the color is the emptiness, the emptiness is the color, and the same is true when you want to do it......
On this day, Princess Baihuasha, who was rescued by the gods after missing for many years, toured the city with a generation of holy monks.
Whether this was specially arranged by Princess Baihuashi, or whether it was a vision caused by Tang Sanzang, no one could tell clearly.
I only know that a large number of people in the capital who have seen the handsome holy monk with their own eyes, and who are fortunate enough to hear the holy voice, all the physical pains and pains suddenly disappear, and the spirit is also shocked, as if the physical function and mental state have returned to the peak of life.
A few years later, there are still countless people who have a lot of emotion about the events of that day, a generation of holy monks, accompanied by a hundred flowers, and admired by all the people.
……
For these posthumous things, Tang Sanzang, who regarded wealth and reputation as nothing, naturally didn't care too much, and what impressed him a little bit was that Princess Baihua was really good.
It should be said that it is quite good, unlike those who are vain, who only pay lip service to thanks, but do not take any substantive action.
And the princess of Baihua is different, when she parted, she also knew that she had given a lot of entanglements like Emperor Tang to thank her for saving her life.
Tang Sanzang, who was sitting on the white dragon horse, turned his head to look at Sha Seng's luggage, which looked a little heavy on his upper shoulders, and nodded with a little satisfaction.
A drink and a peck, all determined by heaven.
It was precisely because the poor monk was willing to help others save the princess that she would eventually give so many entanglements to thank her for her great kindness.
"This is very good, it seems that Princess Baihua is also well versed in my Buddha's theory of cause and effect, and has a wisdom root!"
Tang Sanzang appreciated with satisfaction in his heart, especially when Tang Sanzang was about to fall into the few troubles left in the troubles, the actions of Princess Baihuasha were very pleasing to Tang Sanzang, and it also made Tang Sanzang even more determined to be helpful.
"Disciples, let's go......"
Tang Sanzang's voice that was as warm as jade and full of peaceful Zen sounded, and said. "When we arrive in the next capital, let's find an inn to stay in for a night, so that we can wash up."
……
Then it was close to a month of journey, and with the arrival of the spring scenery in March, Tang Sanzang gradually began to break away from the scope of the Treasure Elephant Country and go deep into the desolate place again.
Yes, desolation indeed!
As Tang Sanzang went all the way to the west, he felt that the farther he walked to the west, the more desolate the scene, or the gathering place of human beings, became more and more desolate, far from the sense of peace and prosperity that the Tang Dynasty had.
In the border of the Treasure Elephant Country, Tang Sanzang, which can almost be regarded as crossing the entire Treasure Elephant Country, only feels that within the scope of the huge Treasure Elephant Country, only the capital of that country can be called a little prosperous.
And the rest of the places, not to mention the big city, even the small town can be regarded as rare, and Tang Sanzang, who walked all the way, can often find the existence of some small demons.
According to common sense, the further down a game progresses, the more difficult it will be.
But Tang Sanzang is not playing a game now, but going to the rumored Western Elysium, which contains the Mahayana Buddhism of all beings.
If the farther west you go, the more desolate and barbaric it becomes, then is the Western Elysium really as all beings are equal as it is rumored?
Moreover, even the Western Elysium cannot be Pudu, so how can we talk about Pudu sentient beings?
As soon as he thought of this, Tang Sanzang's mood became a little heavy, and he inexplicably had the idea of whether to secretly go to the Western Spirit Mountain first to take a look.
But soon, this idea was suppressed by Tang Sanzang.
"Amitabha, this kind of thinking is unreasonable, the saying 'heaven must not be revealed' is not unreasonable, just like the Dragon King of the Jing River, because he knew the result in advance, he suddenly had a thought in his heart that he shouldn't have, and gave his life in vain......"
Tang Sanzang, who had always been cautious, secretly condemned his undeserved thoughts. "Don't do this, don't do this, the poor monks should believe in my Buddha, if they can't do it at that time, it's a big deal to let them give the poor monks an explanation."
As for how to explain it? Or will the Buddhas not be able to explain it then?
Tang Sanzang, who set foot on the road to the west with a determined heart, was not only a vegetarian, no matter what, Tang Sanzang would definitely not allow himself to suffer on the road to the west in vain.
Since the Buddhas of the Western Heavens can't purify sentient beings, the poor monks themselves will figure out ways to do it themselves, such as starting with the Pudu Buddhas......
Thinking about it, Tang Sanzang, who was sitting on the white dragon horse, suddenly heard a shout.
"Elder who is heading west, pause for a moment. I have a word of advice: There is a group of poisonous demons and monsters in this mountain, who eat your people from east to west. ”
Tang Sanzang looked closely, but found that there was a woodcutter standing halfway up the mountain in front of him.
Felt hats, garments, steel axes, firewood, straw sandals......
It has to be said that this woodcutter has all the elements that he should have as a woodcutter.
It's just too perfect, but it's already unreasonable.
Moreover, Tang Sanzang came from east to west all the way, and he had a certain understanding of the distribution of people in the Baoxiang Country, but this desolate place should not be crowded.
Immediately, Tang Sanzang turned his head to look at the monkey, and the monkey opened his mouth slightly and whispered after his fiery eyes lit up.
"Master, it's a gongcao."
Come on, Tang Sanzang probably understood that there was another westbound node ahead.
And after seeing that Tang Sanzang nodded slightly, the monkey did not hurriedly dismount and talk to show respect as he usually met other mortals, and he understood that his master did not have the intention of talking in person, so he immediately stepped forward and casually said a few perfunctory words.
Don't say that now Gong Cao has seen a monkey, it is almost like a mouse meeting a cat, and he is so scared that he can't do it, and Gong Cao, who wanted to talk a few more words and rub some benefits, briefly mentioned a few words, and then walked away.
When the monkey returned to the team and continued to travel west, the curious Zhu Bajie asked seriously. "Brother Monkey, what did that Gong Cao say just now?"
The monkey said absentmindedly. "No, that is, there are two demon kings in front of them, who specialize in eating people from east to west, and they especially love monks."
