Chapter 0893: Thorn Ridge Tang Seng wakes up from a dream
The closer you get to Lingshan, the stronger the Buddhist atmosphere on the way to learn the scriptures.
And Tang Seng saw the monks burning incense and worshipping the Buddha in the temple, which also pitted the monkeys and their three brothers: the monsters who lived near Lingshan were all stained with a little bit of Buddhism......
Right now, the monkey has encountered such a difficulty: the temple in front of him built in the middle of the barren mountains and mountains feels a little strange no matter how you look at it.
If there is a problem, look for the police, and if there is no police, look for land.
"Where is the land?"
The monkey took a stick and pestled the ground, and before long a little old man with white hair came out of the ground.
"Great Sage, what are the instructions for calling the little old man?"
The monkey pointed to the temple on the hillside: "This temple, what's going on?" ”
"Temple?"
The land said in the direction of the monkey's finger and found a large temple.
"This ......"
The land's eyes widened: when did this temple appear?
As soon as the monkey looked at the expression of the land, he knew that there was a situation: "Land, this place is a monster?" ”
The land sighed: "This place is called Thorn Ridge, and the original location of that temple is a wooden fairy nunnery, and a group of mature trees live in it......"
After listening to the introduction of the land, the monkey frowned: this group of harmless monsters disappeared for no reason, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the handiwork of Buddhism; Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, and it may be a group of monsters who want to eat Tang monk's meat......
Just when the monkey was entangled, Tang Seng, who was standing at the gate of the temple, was already waiting impatiently, and pushed open the gate of the temple under the gaze of the three apprentices......
I don't have a choice!
The monkey shook his head with a wry smile, and turned his head behind Tang Seng.
The huge temple was empty, and there was not even a single insect on the trees, let alone birds.
Although the land lord said that the temple appeared suddenly, the monkey found that the actual situation was a little different from the apprentice's description: the Buddha statue in the main hall, judging by the degree of wear, should be some years......
Could it be that the group of tree-grown youkai has been hiding themselves?
The monkey was secretly on guard.
Tang monk, who has been walking in front, saw the Buddha statue, according to the custom, cleaned the hall, burned incense and worshiped the Buddha......
Just when Tang Seng lit the incense pillar and prepared to worship, a strange scene appeared: the Buddha statue in the main hall turned into ashes, and a tablet was left in the same place......
"How do you practice Buddhism? Crossing oneself? If I become a Buddha, what do I want? Ferryman? What is the difference between the gods and Buddhas? ”
"Ami Tofu!"
Tang Seng, who was in an unstable mood, called a Buddha horn high, wanting to suppress the ambiguity in his heart.
It's just that the idea of "everyone can become a Buddha" took root in Tang Seng's heart, and in the blink of an eye, it was already deep-rooted......
"Master, Master......"
Seeing that Tang Seng was a little distracted, the monkey stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Tang Seng's shoulder, but it was empty, and Tang Seng turned into a phantom and disappeared in place......
Broken!
The monkey quickly figured out the golden hoop stick, but it seemed a little late: the huge temple began to disappear, from the tiles to the sleeves, to the foundation, and finally, only a linden tree remained on the foundation of the temple......
"Land!"
The monkey was anxious, grabbed the golden rod and kept knocking on the ground.
"Great Sage!"
"What the hell is going on?"
The land was directly dumbfounded: am I old and dizzy, or is the world changing too fast?
"This ......"
The land was left for a long time, and he didn't say a word, so the monkey drove back again......
"Brother Monkey, what the hell is going on?" Zhu Bajie kept rubbing his eyes, "My old pig just took a nap, why did the master disappear?" ”
"I don't know what's going on!"
Tang Seng is gone, but he is helpless, the first thing the monkey thinks of is to pull the rescuers, and the first choice is naturally the vast supernatural Liuyun.
It's just that when the monkey rushed back to Huaguo Mountain, he was told that Liuyun had been gone for a while......
The monkey had no choice but to turn back to Zhan Zhou and go to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea.
The rescue monkey was pulled, but when the monkey led Guanyin to the thorn ridge, Guanyin couldn't see the origin of the Bodhi tree.
Guanyin had no choice but to ask for help.
Rulai recommended Zhen Yuanzi......
After turning around, the monkey was turned a little depressed: If you know that Zhen Yuanzi can solve the problem, why should I go to the South China Sea?
Standard hindsight.
Zhen Yuanzi just glanced at it and gave a suggestion, with only one word: "Wait!" ”
The monkey was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks: "Brother, my master was captured by a monster, you asked me to wait?" ”
It's terrible to be uneducated!
Zhen Yuanzi gave the monkey a tofu eye: "Who said that your master was captured by a monster?" He's just trapped in a small world! ”
The monkey couldn't believe it and pointed to the only life on the ruins: "Just this Bodhi tree? ”
"Haven't you heard of it? One flower, one world, one leaf, one Bodhi! ”
Zhen Yuanzi chatted with the monkey for a while, and then returned to Wanshou Mountain.
The three monkey brothers had no choice but to wait......
While the three monkeys were sitting there waiting, Tang Seng was experiencing a dreamlike new world......
This side of the world is far smaller than the central world, there is no Zhan Continent, there is no Julu Continent, there is no Shengshen Continent, and there is no Niuhe Continent.
Tang Seng was still born in the Tang Dynasty, the prosperous era of China, and the peak of Yanhuang.
Tang Seng's life experience is no longer bumpy, and he followed his brother to leave home at the age of thirteen: partly because of his yearning for a better life, and even more partly because Tang Seng wanted to solve the puzzle.
In this life, there is no spiritual mountain, and there is no god and Buddha in the sky, and the place where the Buddha was born is called Tianzhu.
At the age of twenty-five, Tang Seng embarked on a journey to learn scriptures again: this time there were no monsters blocking the way, and he wanted to eat himself; There is no female Bodhi to marry herself; There are no three apprentices with great powers to escort them......
After seven years, after trekking for tens of thousands of miles, Tang Seng finally reached heaven.
It's just that the Buddhism of Heaven has declined, and the only remaining monk in the place where the Buddha was born is also indescribable......
The sea does not choose a trickle.
In order to collect Buddhist classics, Tang Seng stayed in Tianzhu for ten years, until he was not confused, and then he set off to return to the Tang Dynasty and translated the collected Sanskrit classics into Chinese characters......
The three monkey brothers have been guarding under the Bodhi tree for seven days before the Bodhi tree blossoms and bears fruit and disappears......
Seeing the solemn Tang Seng, the monkey breathed a sigh of relief: although the temperament is not the same as before, the person has not changed......
Tang Seng sighed and slowly opened his eyes: although the world has changed, those Buddhist scriptures have long been imprinted in his mind......
After starting again, the monkey didn't notice anything at first, but after a long time, the monkey realized that something was wrong with the cheap master: the daily homework was the same, but some of the usual small actions had all changed!
In order to verify the authenticity, the monkey asked some secrets on the way to learn the scriptures, and Tang Seng answered fluently.
The monkey was directly stunned: there was no trace of being taken away, and there was no amnesia, what happened to this old monk?
Worried and worried, but the monkey who had been staring at it found that Tang Seng, who had "updated the system", seemed to have become more like a monk who had attained the Tao, and he was more peaceful in dealing with people, not to mention, just abandoning the style of "clothes to reach out for food and open his mouth", which shocked the jaws of the disciples.
Of course, no matter how high Tang Seng's virtue is, he can't erase the status quo of monsters everywhere on the way to learn scriptures......
