Chapter 6 The Poor Monk Lacks a Mount

"How difficult it is, brother, can you tell me about the difference between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism?" Tang Sanzang asked.

"The difference, let's put it this way, the Mahayana Dharma is to become a Buddha by becoming a Buddha by yourself, and the Hinayana is to cut off all your troubles and transcend life and death, so that you can become an arhat and become a Buddha again, but in my opinion, it's all like that." Chen Fan explained.

After hearing this, Tang Seng was a little curious, knowing that this senior brother's thoughts were rather strange, and asked, "Senior brother thinks that Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism are not good?" ”

"Their ultimate goal is to become a Buddha, beyond reincarnation, not to suffer from reincarnation, whether it is to save people first or to save themselves first, it is this purpose, but there are still some uncertainties, after all, each Buddha's idea is different, but after becoming a Buddha, there are fewer people who go out of the Spirit Mountain to help the world, there are many demons on the West Heaven Road, and I heard that people in a country have been eaten by demons, but I don't see my Buddha surrendering to demons, alas, Sanzang, will you become like this after you become a Buddha?" Chen Fan sighed.

"Senior brother, there are my Buddhas in all directions, be cautious." Tang Seng said, and then said: "After I become a Buddha, I will sweep away the demons." ”

Chen Fan laughed after hearing this, and said: "Don't worry, the Buddha won't blame, say what's wrong with his two sentences, and say that this is a different concept, how can he blame me, the Buddha I cultivate is different from others, all the Buddhas have cut off the seven emotions and six desires, and what I cultivate is not to get rid of the seven emotions and six desires, but to see the true self, I cultivate three bodies, the past body, the present body, the future body, when the three bodies are one, you can see the true self, and then the Buddha is a demon in one thought, this is the so-called one thought into a Buddha and one thought into a demon, but rest assured, even if you become a demon, you will not harm people, It is also possible to save people. ”

"Oh? After becoming a demon, you can still save people, senior brother, this is a little unreasonable, I don't understand. Tang Seng was a little puzzled, in his eyes, how could demons save people.

Lingshan Rulai was a little worried, afraid that Chen Fan would take Tang Seng badly, just like parents who don't let their children play with naughty children, for fear of being taken badly, "Guanyin, after they pass the first difficulty, it will be Wuzhi Mountain, you go again, don't let it be difficult to lead Tang Seng astray." Guanyin, who closed his eyes and listened to the scriptures, suddenly heard a sound to his ears, looked at the sitting Rulai and nodded, Guanyin also nodded, and went back to his own purple bamboo forest in Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea.

"The way of cultivation is the avenue of heaven, the pursuit of free and immortal life, demons are also among them, and the human race is a heavenly race, those demons who eat people and harm people are no more than the catastrophe, but some are another matter, like demons with backgrounds, they have gods and Buddhas behind them, if we meet them when we learn the scriptures in the future, they will not let go, they have nothing to say." After speaking, Chen Fan looked at the sky.

Suddenly, the gods and Buddhas of the Heavenly Realm Spirit Mountain hurriedly arranged their own children and mounts, remembering not to hurt and eat people, as for whether it is useful or not, no one knows.

Tang Seng nodded after hearing this, and asked, "What is the Tianding Race?" Are there other races? ”

"It's a long story, about the time when Hongjun Dao Ancestor was not sanctified." As soon as Chen Fan's words fell, a tree beside him was directly split into ashes by lightning, "It seems that some people don't talk about this history." Chen Fan said with a smile, and the people of the Three Realms also lamented after hearing this, and they also wanted to know what happened before the Dao Ancestor became holy.

"Hmph, Huangkou Xiao'er, how can Dao Ancestor be nonsense for us." Yuan Shi said on the side.

"This sentence is good, senior brother said." Zhun Ti answered.

"Hmph, but I'm afraid that others will know what kind of person you are, why hide it, Dao Ancestor didn't say anything, what are you doing." Tongtian scoffed.

"Senior brother, look at how he spoke to me, I'm his brother."

"Brother, hehe, when you united with outsiders to deal with me when you were a god, why didn't you remember that you were still my brother, brother, I was long gone, and I was cut off, you look at the Fuxi Nuwa brothers and sisters, and then look at yourself." Tongtian said.

"It's a pity, and I don't know who won't let me say it." Tang Seng sighed.

"There are only a few people among the six saints, how can Dao Ancestor care about these trivial matters."

"Senior brother, saints can't be arranged, they all know every word we say, if a saint condemns, won't we suffer." Tang Seng said.

Looking at Tang Seng's cautious appearance, Chen Fan felt ridiculous, and said: "Don't worry, even if someone makes a move on us, the two saints of the West will not stand idly by, it is extremely safe to go to the West, at most it will suffer a little hardship, the great prosperity of the West is determined by heaven, and the saints are unstoppable, the causal relationship between this matter is too great to say more." ”

After hearing this, the people of the Three Realms all scolded: "Nima, you know this, and what else do you not know, Lao Tzu has been a Buddha and a god for so many years, and he doesn't know anything about ancient things, are you really a little mortal monk?" ”

"No, it's not, I'm a systematic monk." If Chen Fan listened, he would definitely answer in his heart.

"Senior brother, how do you know so much, there is no record in the book."

"Walk more, listen more, think more, talk less."

"Amitabha, the senior brother has superb Buddhism, but the junior brother is not as good."

"Our Buddhists say that there are 3,000 worlds in the world, and Taoism also has 36 heavens, which are divided into heavenly worlds, so I will tell you about the other worlds, called Zhuxian."

"Oh, that's interesting." Tongtian smiled.

In this way, Chen Fan talked for more than ten days, the two came to Shuangchaling, the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, the two of them got off the horse and pulled the weeds and walked, at this time, suddenly the wind was fierce, and fifty or sixty demons poured out to arrest Chen Fan and Tang Seng, Tang Seng was so frightened that he trembled, on the other hand, Chen Fan looked calm.

"Ding Dong, the system issues a task, task one: subdue a mount, when Tang Seng has a white dragon horse, but the host only has a white horse, isn't it a loss of identity, task two: Tai Bai Xing is coming, as a monk, how can you not turn fate, to Tai Bai Xing, and at the same time promote my Buddha. After completing the task, you will be rewarded with one mount and three red dates. ”

"Nima, what are you, if you want me to take over the mount, the reward is the mount, Xiang Tai Platinum Star, that's three red dates, it's better not to talk about it." Chen Fan vomited in his heart.

"The king, the king, Xiong Shanjun and the special priest are here, and I heard that you have captured two monks, so they have come to be guests." A wolf demon ran in and said.

Chen Fan looked up, and what caught his eyes was a white fat man and a black man who had just returned from Africa, if he didn't take a closer look, he really thought it was a black man, "Two, look, these are those two monks." ”

"Can you entertain guests?" The chubby youkai said, saliva running down his mouth.

"Naturally, how can my tiger eat alone, two brothers, please sit down." As he spoke, he pulled them down on the stone bench, "Go ahead, that monk will cut out his heart." It was Chen Fan who was referring to him, "Two brothers, let's eat one today, and the other tomorrow, what do you think?" ”

"It's up to you."

The little demons pulled Chen Fan away, and although Tang Seng was scared, he saw that Chen Fan was eaten immediately, and hurriedly said: "If the king wants to eat, eat me, let my senior brother go." ”

"Yo, you monk still has some righteousness, but the king never says a word, he will eat him when he says to eat." General Yin said.

"Amitabha, good, good. The poor monk wants to ask the king something, okay? If I am unwilling to die, the meat will naturally be a little sour and chewy, if the king listens to the poor monk and gets the answer that the poor monk wants, then he will naturally be willingly eaten by the king. Chen Fan said, not showing a trace of nervousness.

"Brother, you just promise him, you don't have to worry about running away anyway." As soon as I heard that it was unpalatable, the fat monster couldn't help it.

"Okay, you can hear about it."

"Dawang, how old is Dawangshou?"

"Haha, it's not that I lied to you, the king of your family, I, am just over three hundred years old this year, and I am in the prime of life, and I can live at least another five hundred years, if it's okay." General Yin added another sentence later.

"After five hundred years, he will suffer from reincarnation, look at the bones in the mountain, the king eats a lot of people, and after death, he will definitely go to the eighteenth layer of hell to go once, and the next life will be a beast, and the poor monk will feel worthless for the king." Chen Fan took the rosary, shook his head, and said slowly.

"Hmph, how do you know that the king can't become an immortal and an ancestor, five hundred years is enough."

"The king himself thinks that he can become an immortal, the king naturally knows in his heart, there is no need for the poor monk to say, the king will be old in three hundred years, and there will be two hundred years, will the king still be as beautiful as before?"

"You monk, what do you want to say, happy things, when you say it, you are not in a good mood."

"Amitabha, I see that there are many ghosts and monsters in the king's cave, and those who are eaten will not have the opportunity to be reincarnated, my Buddha is merciful, can the king let the poor monk chant the sutra to surpass them, and then he will naturally be eaten by the king willingly."

"Hurry up, there are so many things, if it weren't for the king's words, you would have been eaten a long time ago."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Chen Fan finished speaking, he sat on the spot and read, "That's what I smelled." For a while, the Buddha was in the heavens of Enlightenment, speaking for the mother. At that time, the immeasurable world of the ten directions, you can't say that you can't say all the Buddhas......" The voice sounded, and slowly there was black smoke in the cave, and it disappeared after a while, only to see all the ghosts worshipping and saying: "Thank you to the holy monk for saving you." ”

"Amitabha." Chen Fan chanted, "Amitabha." Tang Seng also read it, admiring Chen Fan even more, and at this time he was still thinking about rescuing others, his face slowly turned red, and he was ashamed of himself.

"What scriptures did your monk read, after listening to it, this king felt warm and comfortable."

"The Jizo Sutra is a scripture for the excesses of the dead souls, and the king originally had many dead souls following him, so he could not hurt the king, but it could make people feel upset." Chen Fan replied with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid of death? The scriptures are also finished, why are you still laughing? ”

"It's just a stinky skin, after the king eats it, there will be a Bodhisattva who will go west to become a Buddha, and then the poor monk will come to surpass the king again, so he is naturally not afraid."

After hearing this, General Yin looked at Chen Fan as if he was telling a lie, just now he also saw his ability to surpass the soul of the dead, he didn't think it was fake, thought about it, and said: "Boys, dig out the heart of another monk and tie this up." ”

"The king wants to be true to his word, why did he eat my junior brother again."

"The king can eat whoever he wants, and you can control it."

At this time, Tai Bai Xing saw that Tang Seng was about to be gouged out, and knew that he couldn't hide anymore, so he appeared out, and with a wave of the dust, the three demon kings showed their original bodies one after another, and the little demon below naturally fled, "Thank you Xingjun for your rescue." Tang Seng said slowly.

"Holy monks don't have to be polite."

But Chen Fan looked at him with a smile on his face, Tai Bai Xing coughed, felt embarrassed, and asked: "You monk really don't know what to do, this Xingjun saved you, you don't thank me, forget it, and still look at me like this." ”

"When did Xingjun save the poor monk?" Saying that, Chen Fan pointed to the hiding place of Tai Bai Xing just now, and suddenly Tai Bai Xing felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Didn't you overspend your soul just now, I didn't disturb you." ”

"Amitabha, the poor monk is a little hungry, can Xingjun give the poor monk something to eat." After speaking, he took out the purple gold bowl and stretched it out in front of Tai Bai Xing, "I didn't bring anything, since the holy monk is hungry, I will give you these three dates, there are people not far ahead." After speaking, he was about to leave with the three demon kings, "Xingjun, please stay." ”

"What else?"

"The poor monk lacks a mount." As he spoke, he looked at General Yin and stopped talking.
