Chapter 290: Cutting Karma and Killing People (Plus 2)
As Tang Sanzang lowered his head slightly, he looked at the stone tablet with "Tongtian River" written on it, and there was this line of small characters: "Eight hundred miles away, few people have traveled in ancient times."
However, the monkey's fiery eyes that looked thousands of miles could not see the other side, and it was obvious that the so-called 800 li was only an imaginary number, but in fact it was far more than 800 li wide.
Sure enough, it is worthy of the Tongtian River separating the east and west, if you talk about the turbulent waves, the quicksand river is slightly better, if you talk about the deep water, it is the Heishui River is slightly stronger, but the length of this path of 800 miles is like a moat cut from here.
And if Tang Sanzang is not mistaken, the demon who did evil in this calamity was a demon turned into a demon by a goldfish of the Great Compassion and Great Compassion to save the suffering and save the Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Since Che Chiguo, Tang Sanzang, who has found a lot of changes in his mentality, looked at the turbulent river in front of him, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Master Guanyin, here, I hope it wasn't your secret instructions, otherwise, don't blame the poor monk for not thinking about your affection."
No matter what, Tang Sanzang was already furious with the kind of connivance or guiding demons and evil people to do evil in the world, slaughtering the human race, and then treating it as a poor monk's calamity.
Perhaps, they were not the ones who killed those Terrans, but they were holding the knife that slaughtered the Terrans behind their backs.
The poor monk went west to seek to purify all sentient beings, but only gained this harvest halfway through the journey?
Punish someone as a warning to others......
As soon as Tang Sanzang thought of this, the guqin in his hand clanged, and his face showed compassion, and he played it with his heart, accompanied by the rushing river in front of him, the sound of the zhengzheng qin actually had the feeling that winter was coming, and thousands of horses and thousands of troops were coming.
"Master......"
It wasn't until Tang Sanzang's sound calmed down and slowly regained his calm that the monkeys and others guarding the left and right stepped forward and said. "But what happened?"
Tang Sanzang handed the guqin in his hand to Ao Yu, who was also walking beside him, and hugged his hands in front of his chest, his eyes were even more compassionate, and he said leisurely.
"'Killing for the sake of protecting the living, cutting the karma is not for the killing of people', as a teacher, I saw the waves of this river today, and I felt something, and then I completely understood this principle."
Suddenly, the monkey, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng couldn't help but look at each other a little, but they also felt a little inexplicably in their hearts, and they couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"As a teacher, you may not be able to lift a knife in your hands, but you should also cut off your sinful karma with a compassionate heart, purify all sentient beings, and surpass the ...... sinners."
Accompanied by the scorching cold wind, the plain white monk's robe on Tang Sanzang's body was blown into a hunting sound, but Tang Sanzang's figure did not move at all.
However, Yi Nanping, who was far away in Huashan, got up slowly, took off the mask with the pattern of "Baolian Lantern" on his face, and threw it towards the three virgins Yang Chan.
The Third Virgin Yang Chan raised her hand, gently caught the mask, and then looked towards Yi Nanping.
Under the cover of that hazy white light, the Third Virgin Yang Chan still couldn't see the true face of "Yi Yi Yiping", and could only judge by the vague outline that it should be a handsome man.
"Yang Chan, help me keep this mask, and if I return successfully, I will retrieve it."
Different from the increasingly easy-going voice that usually stayed in the Shrine of Our Lady, this deliberately uneasy voice was obviously a little cold, and there was not the slightest fluctuation except for a faint murderous intent.
The Third Holy Mother Yang Chan's expression moved slightly and asked. "Brother Yi, where do you want to go?"
"Settle your mind......"
As the words fell, Yi Nanping was accompanied by a loud sound, and instantly disappeared in place towards the south.
Because he clearly remembered the relationship between the goldfish essence of the Tongtian River and Guanyin Bodhisattva, Yi Nanping went straight to the South China Sea this time.
Tang Sanzang, after not allowing the lower realm such as gods and Buddhas' pet mounts to be evil, he can still retreat with his master's whole body lightly.
……
And Tang Sanzang and his entourage, who were standing by the Tongtian River, suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums faintly coming from the distance at this moment.
Thinking that it was difficult to rush to the shore of the South China Sea, and the mortal body was rushing with his legs, even if he went all out, it would take some time, Tang Sanzang was not anxious to find the goldfish essence, but led the disciples towards the source of the beating of gongs and drums.
In any case, the situation of the Tongtian River is most appropriate to ask the civilians living in the vicinity.
And as Tang Sanzang and his entourage crossed the river beach, after turning a corner, they saw that there were about four or five hundred households in front of them, among which there was a banner erected in front of the larger one, surrounded by white cloth, with lights and candles shining brightly, and fragrant cigarettes.
"Wukong, how about I go to that house later?"
Of course, the monkey knew that Tang Sanzang was not asking for his consent, but was asking if there was anything unusual in that place.
Immediately, the monkey's fiery eyes blinked slightly, looked around left and right, nodded, and said. "Come, Master, my grandson will guide you the way, it is getting late, Master can spend the night."
"Hmm."
After getting the judgment of the monkey, Tang Sanzang and his party leaned towards the house.
Then, after letting the monkey and the others stand a little farther away, the most harmless Tang Sanzang took Ao Yu to knock on the door.
"Knock knock~"
As the door opened, an old man with Buddhist beads around his neck and chanting Amitabha Buddha appeared in front of the door and said with a slight surprise. "This master is late, the ritual has ended, and the rest of the masters have already eaten the fast, and they each divided the cooked rice, white cloth, and copper coins and left."
"Amitabha, the old donor wants to misunderstand, the poor monk is not the master who has just left, the poor monk is from the Tang Dynasty in the east, and went to the west to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures Tang Sanzang, passing through here today, seeing that the sky is getting late, I plan to spend the night."
"Heh, this master Hugh said, the little old man is not an uninformed person, the Eastern Tang Dynasty is about 54,000 miles away from here, you are ...... alone"
Speaking of this, the old man inadvertently skimmed, only to find that most of his body was hiding behind Tang San, holding the qin in both hands, and said. "Uh, how did you, a monk with a little girl, cross the 54,000-mile distance?"
"Amitabha, the donor has a wide range of knowledge, and what he said is extremely true, but although the poor monk can only be called a mortal fetus in the flesh, he has been favored by God, but it is the three apprentices who have been gifted by God with great powers and have served as immortal officials in the sky to protect the left and right, so they came here smoothly." Tang Sanzang slowly explained in a compassionate and peaceful tone.
"Have you ever been an immortal official? Have something going for one? ”
When the old man heard this, his expression couldn't help but change slightly, and a look that seemed to be unwilling and hesitant appeared. "I don't know...... Can the little old man be lucky enough to see and see? ”
"Of course!" Tang Sanzang waved towards the monkey and the others and shouted. "Disciples, come and visit the old benefactor."
