Chapter 24: Consecutive Defeats

Tang Seng nodded and said, "The Gibbon Monkey donor's attainments in Buddhism are indeed very profound. ”

"The so-called bodhisattva mind, not mindful mind, the idealism of the Three Realms, the wisdom of all laws, the true meaning of this is like me."

"Truthfulness, Nirvana, and I are all the same as the hidden mind."

"All the Dharma Realms are all in the Dharma Realm."

"Since the donor has understood the law of cause and effect, why would he leave the Buddha realm?"

At this time, Tang Seng's face was full of puzzlement.

In the past three days, he and Lu Fengqiu have been sitting and discussing Buddhism, and he found that Lu Fengqiu's comprehension of Buddhism is even more profound than him.

Whether it is Mahayana doctrine or Hinayana doctrine, Lu Fengqiu has it at his fingertips.

"Sanzang, I read through the Buddha's Tibet, whether it is Mahayana Buddhism or Hinayana Buddhism, I am familiar with it by heart, but it is precisely because I understand the Dharma that I want to tell Sanzang that the Buddha is also the way."

"Buddha is the way."

"No doctrine is out of the realm of the Word."

"The Word is not simply a doctrine."

"It is because I have comprehended my Tao that I have stepped out of the Buddha realm."

"Lingshan is not for me, and I don't need to stay in Lingshan to become a Buddha."

"If I become a Buddha, then I will have to sit in the position of the head of the spiritual mountain."

"But I don't want to become a Buddha, what I achieve is my own path."

"Ask the living beings in the world, and how many people can walk out of their own way."

"Sanzang, with the goodness of your true nature, it was possible to walk out of your own path, but you are too attached to the Buddha, so you can only become a Buddha, but you cannot achieve Nirvana."

"When you no longer have only the Buddha in your heart, then you will find that the world in front of you is infinitely vast."

"You can think of becoming a Buddha as a means of cultivating your own path, and you can be you, and you can be you."

"The way of contemplating oneself is the way of self-being."

"There is nowhere to come from, and nowhere to go, only to come."

"If you can understand this level, become a saint of yourself, and realize the truth, then it will be a gratifying thing for you."

Lu Fengqiu is like a big Buddha in Lingshan, telling Tang Seng about Buddhism and truth.

When Tang Seng heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and said: "The poor monk knows that there are great enlightened people in this world, but he never imagined that Lingshan could also meet the true Buddha. ”

"Although the benefactor is not a Buddha, he is better than a Buddha."

"Whether the donor leaves Lingshan or not, he is a Buddha."

"A Buddha is not a person in the Buddha realm in the narrow sense."

"As long as you reach the realm of a Buddha with enlightenment and enlightenment, you will be a Buddha no matter where you are."

When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he smiled and said, "Sanzang, I'm very happy that you can see through this." ”

"You're right, whether it's a Buddha or an immortal, a demon or a demon, you can't just rely on a narrow definition to define it."

"Those who become immortals may not become enlightened, but those who become immortals can definitely become immortals."

"Those who become Buddhas may not be able to attain Nirvana, but those who attain Nirvana will definitely become Buddhas."

"In the world, I will become an immortal."

"Sanzang, what do you think of this idea?"

Tang Seng showed admiration on his face, and he folded his hands and said: "The great wish of the donor, the poor monk admires." ”

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "Actually, you don't need to admire me. ”

"It's good to have a big wish, but it's another thing to make it happen."

"Sanzang, if you just want to rely on the Mahayana scriptures to purify sentient beings, then what you think is too simple."

"Although it is better to say that people are pure, if you want to fulfill your great wishes, perseverance alone is not enough."

"The most important thing is to have the ability, the king of the earth Bodhisattva made a great wish that hell will not be empty and will not become a Buddha, but how can hell become empty?"

When Tang Seng heard this, his face showed a look of thought, and he folded his hands and said: "Then dare to ask the donor, how can we purify all sentient beings?" ”

Lu Fengqiu said with a smile: "If you ask Rulai this question, Rulai will definitely answer you, spread the Dharma, and be good with one heart, you will be able to benefit all sentient beings." ”

"But I won't be as deceitful as Nyolai, I can only tell you that it's impossible for you to purify many, many sentient beings."

"A person's energy is limited, and nothing in the world is perfect."

"Purify all sentient beings, how many sentient beings can reach the other side?"

"Those who can cross it, teach those who can teach it."

"If all living beings can do good, then wouldn't hell be free of evil spirits a long time ago."

"If all sentient beings can ascend to the other shore and enter the Elysian World, then the human world will not become empty."

"There are so many people in the world like the Jinchi Holy Monk, how many can you change?"

When Tang Seng heard this, he muttered: "The person who can cross the crossing, the person who can teach it?" ”

"The poor monks also know that there are many people in this world who can't preach like the holy monks of Jinchi."

"But the poor monk also thinks that there are more good people in this world after all."

"It is also good to cross one person, and if you can cross one more person, you will cross one more person."

"What does the donor think?"

Lu Fengqiu nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

At this moment, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons appeared beside Lu Fengqiu and whispered in Lu Fengqiu's ear: "Great King, the Heavenly Court army is already attacking Fengtou Mountain. ”

Lu Fengqiu bowed slightly, and said, "I know, let them go." ”

Lu Fengqiu already knew that the Heavenly Court army had descended on Fengtou Mountain early this morning.

It has been a big battle for half a day now.

He didn't look at how the two sides were fighting, since he said that no matter how the disciples of the Qingyun Dojo fought, he wouldn't care.

He will only make a move when the two guys, Jade Emperor and Rulai, make a move.

When the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons heard this, she bowed slightly, and her eyes reluctantly stayed on Lu Fengqiu's body for a while, and then moved away.

In the past few days, Lu Fengqiu and Tang Seng have sat down to talk about Buddhism, so that the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons and Lu Fengqiu have less time to stay together, which makes the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons a little apprehensive.

I used to think that Tang Seng was quite good-eyed, but now I feel a little angry when I look at Tang Seng.

But the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons also knew that this had nothing to do with Tang Seng, it was Lu Fengqiu who took the initiative to talk to Tang Seng.

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons had to stay outside, and she was also a little helpless.

The more Tang Seng talked, the more excited he became, and every time he talked about Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist principles, he was full of energy even if he didn't fit his eyes for three days and three nights.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng have a deep understanding of this.

Lu Fengqiu and Tang Seng sat down to discuss the Buddha for three days, which not only made the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons a little tasteful, but even Zhu Bajie was also slandered.

Of course, Zhu Bajie wished that someone would discuss Buddhism with Master Tang Seng, so that Tang Seng would not care about their brothers.

But Tang Seng and the gibbon monkey talked about Buddhism, and they were too fascinated to eat fasting.

Zhu Bajie remembered that his master Tang Seng once said that even after becoming a Buddha, he took pleasure in reading Buddhist scriptures, and other things were not as important as participating in Buddhism.

Zhu Bajie thought that if he became a Buddha in the future, he would have to talk about Buddhism with his master Tang Seng like this, which would be too difficult for him, and it would be torture.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng sat in the corner of the main square of Qingyun Mountain, holding fruit in their hands and eating, while eating, they watched the monsters in the square meditating and participating in meditation.

Sha Seng looked curious and said, "Second Senior Brother, you see that the monsters in Qingyun Mountain are so strange, they are all meditating, and they don't even move. ”

Zhu Bajie said: "Lao Sha, what's the fuss about, when you were in Heavenly Court, didn't you see the boy who followed Lao Jun in the Tushi Palace to refine the pill?" ”

"The boys under Lao Jun's seat are also some monsters, don't look at them are very honest in front of Lao Jun, but once they go outside, they are all wild."

"These monsters on Qingyun Mountain are also like this, you see, the clone of the gibbon monkey is sitting in front, and it is strange if these monsters dare to move."

Sha Seng said: "Second Senior Brother, the gibbon monkey donor is really powerful. ”

Zhu Bajie smashed his mouth, but he didn't refute Sha Seng, thinking of the scene when he was in Guanghan Palace that day, Zhu Bajie was a little stunned.

The characters who can fight with the Jade Emperor are, of course, extremely powerful.

This time, the gibbon monkey clearly set up a battle and wanted to have a big battle with Heavenly Court.

In the past few days in Qingyun Mountain, Zhu Bajie also heard some news.

I know that in the previous battle between Heavenly Court and the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, the soldiers were lost.

Even Nezha was captured back to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

That's a big deal.

You must know that since the establishment of the Heavenly Court, there has been no such precedent.

The great god of the three altars of the sea meeting became a prisoner.

The one who caught Nezha was not a gibbon monkey, but just a big demon king under the hands of a gibbon monkey.

I heard that there are twelve golden immortals and five hundred scattered immortals in this Qingyun Dojo.

The twelve golden immortals are all big demon kings, and their skills are not bad.

If this was placed in the past, Zhu Bajie would definitely have to mock it, but now, he absolutely believes it.

Thinking about the dead monkey being refined by the gibbon monkey with that white flame in the big ding, his ability increased greatly.

He took a white lotus from the gibbon, and when he went back to the past, he was also able to rival the generals of the Heavenly Court, and he was extremely brave.

He didn't doubt at all that the gibbon monkey could greatly improve the ability of these monsters in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

This time, if the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom defeats the Heavenly Court again, then this will be a lot of fun.

When the time comes, I am afraid that the position of the Jade Emperor will be lost.

Zhu Bajie only felt that there would be great changes in these three realms.

I don't know if this big change will affect his Buddhahood.

Of course, it's okay if he doesn't become a Buddha.

As long as the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom has the strength to keep pace with the Heavenly Court and the Buddha Realm, it is not impossible for him to stay in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

Zhu Bajie was playing his own little abacus, while lying on the lap of the sand monk leisurely, thinking about life.

At this moment, I saw a few divine lights flying from the sky in the northwest direction, and without a few breaths, those divine lights were getting closer and closer to Qingyun Mountain.

Zhu Bajie squinted at the figure in the sky, and only saw a few monsters from Qingyun Mountain carrying a large piece into a certain place in Qingyun Mountain.

Zhu Bajie rubbed his eyes, immediately sat up, and said, "Wow, isn't it, this is even the Giant Spirit God who has been captured?" ”

Sha Seng was taken aback by Zhu Bajie's surprise, and he said in a daze: "Second Senior Brother, what are you talking about the Giant Spirit God?" ”

Zhu Bajie stood up and said with his hands dancing: "Giant Spirit God, I saw the Giant Spirit God, and I was sent into the mountain by a few monsters with bundles of fairy ropes. ”

When Sha Seng heard this, his face was also full of amazement, and he said, "The Giant Spirit God has been caught in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom?" ”

Zhu Bajie said: "No, Lao Sha, we have to go to Fengtou Mountain to take a few sneaky glances to see how fierce the fight is." ”

"The news of this frontline, the gibbon monkey is not allowed to send it back, he is really not afraid of losing."

Sha Seng said: "Second Senior Brother, it's good for you to go by yourself, I still have to take care of the master." ”

Zhu Bajie said: "Master still needs you to take care of it?" He chatted with the gibbon monkey and didn't know how happy he was, where was your business. ”

At this time, I saw a few divine lights flying towards Qingyun Mountain in the sky in the distance.

flew closer, Zhu Bajie looked at it, and saw a few monsters flying into Qingyun Mountain with the roaring dogs.

This time, Sha Seng also saw it.

Sha Seng hurriedly pointed over there and said, "Second Senior Brother, it's the Roaring Sky Dog, even the Roaring Sky Dog has been arrested!" ”

Zhu Bajie said: "I saw it, I saw it, I saw it clearly." ”

"I don't know when this big war began."

"Heavenly Court seems to have suffered again."

Before Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng could say a word, they saw a few rainbow lights in the distant sky.

This time, there were a bit more immortals escorted.

There are eight of them.

When Zhu Bajie saw the eight figures, he immediately opened his mouth wide and said, "No, even the Eight Immortals have been arrested!" ”

"Lao Sha, go and say hello first."

Saying that, Zhu Bajie didn't care much, and flew directly towards the sky.

Stopped a few monsters who were escorting the Eight Immortals.

Those monsters also know Zhu Bajie.

Because in the past few days, Zhu Bajie has been mixed in Qingyun Mountain, holding the entrance and exit token of the Taoist master, but there is no monster who will embarrass Zhu Bajie.

Zhu Bajie saw the Eight Immortals, touched his big belly, and said to the Eight Immortals: "Oh, old men, who are you?" ”

The Eight Immortals saw that Zhu Bajie actually came and went freely in the Ten Thousand Demon Country, and the monsters of the Ten Thousand Demon Country had no intention of taking precautions against him, so they felt very surprised.

At this time, Tie Guan Li said: "Oh, Marshal Tianpeng, weren't you and Tang Seng captured together by the gibbon monkeys of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom?" ”

"How can you run around in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom."

Zhu Bajie didn't tell the truth, he said: "You don't know, the gibbon monkey caught me and my master and brother here, and he didn't imprison us, he said that he was not afraid of us running away, because no matter how we run, we can't escape from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom." ”

"It's you, why are you all arrested?"

"Didn't my brother monkey go to Heaven to move the rescuers?"

When the eight immortals heard this, they all hung their heads.

Tie Guan Li sighed and said: "Alas, it was because the Great Sage went to Heaven to move the rescue troops that the Jade Emperor hurriedly sent us to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. ”

"As a result, we were defeated by the twelve great demon kings of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, and we were caught here."

Zhang Guolao said on the side: "Who would have thought that those twelve great demon kings would be so powerful, we are eight against four, and we are not the opponent of those twelve great demon kings." ”

Lan Caihe said: "Yes, yes, those twelve great demon kings, who call themselves twelve golden immortals, each have powerful magic weapons in their hands, and we are not opponents at all." ”

Lu Dongbin said: "I can't imagine that this Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom has such a climate in just a few years, this time, I'm afraid Heavenly Court will be in trouble." ”

Zhu Bajie listened from the sidelines and couldn't help but say: "Oh, don't worry too much, don't worry, although this guy is arrogant, he won't hurt you." ”

He Xiangu looked at Zhu Bajie with a strange expression and said, "Marshal Tianpeng, how do you know that the gibbon monkey will not harm us?" ”

Zhu Bajie hurriedly snorted and said, "That, you see, I'm not fine, and my master is fine." ”

At this time, the monster who took the lead in sending the Eight Immortals said: "Okay, Zhu Bajie, what nonsense do you have, wait for us to send these guys to the dungeon, you can talk about it." ”

Zhu Bajie hurriedly said to the eight immortals: "A few people, after hard work, I won't send you." ”

The eight immortals looked resentful one by one, and were sent to the dungeon at the bottom of Qingyun Mountain by several monsters with immortal ropes.

Zhu Bajie couldn't help laughing when he saw the eight immortals leaving.

Sha Seng said: "Second Senior Brother, what are you laughing at." ”

Zhu Bajie said: "Of course I'm laughing at these stupid people, Heavenly Court is going to make a big fool this time!" ”

"The Jade Emperor is a dead pervert, it's best to pull him down from the Jade Emperor's throne!"

Zhu Bajie muttered quietly.

He has a grudge against the Jade Emperor, and since he knew that Chang'e was arranged by the Jade Emperor, Zhu Bajie has always been dissatisfied.

Although he didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary to the Jade Emperor, now Heavenly Court has lost troops one after another, and he has lost the face of the Jade Emperor.

Of course, he had to gloat.

Just when Zhu Bajie was gloating.

On Crested Mountain, there is a great battle.

Sun Wukong stood on the head of the clouds, sighing with a sigh on his face, but a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said to Li Jing on the side: "Li Tianwang, how is this good, the giant spirit god and the eight immortals have been captured by the twelve demons." ”

"Even Yang Jian's Howling Sky Dog has been taken away."

"Yang Jian doesn't know where to flee yet."

Li Jing's face was ugly, and he said, "Sun Wukong, your ability is not small, why didn't you fight with the Eight Immortals just now." ”

"If you also fight, the Eight Immortals may not be captured."

Sun Wukong said: "Li Tianwang, what you said is not right, my old Sun just planned to find the other party's flaws, but you also saw that those twelve big demons are all good at their skills and have powerful magic weapons." ”

"Even if my grandson's golden hoop stick is thrown out, they have to collect it."

Li Jing clenched his right hand into a fist, pounded it on his left hand, and sighed repeatedly, looking helpless.

Originally, according to Guanyin Bodhisattva's strategy, he wanted to lose two battles in a row, and then let Yang Jian go to lure the enemy, but who knew that the twelve demon kings on the crested mountain would not chase deep at all.

The Southern Heaven Star Dou Great Array under the twenty-eight constellations could not move forward, and once it was too close to Fengtou Mountain, it would definitely be discovered by the twelve Great Demon Kings.

Li Jing only felt that the situation in front of him was extremely tricky.

The twelve great demon kings on this crested mountain, one is more powerful than the other.

The great gods of the heavenly court did not come out, and they could not subdue these great demon kings at all.

Could it be that today, Mingjin will withdraw his troops and retreat to Fengtou Mountain?

Li Jing only felt very powerless, and he was defeated in successive battles, and the face of Heavenly Court was lost.

As the generalissimo of the army, he will definitely be punished by the Jade Emperor.

……

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Treasure Palace.

The Jade Emperor looked at the battle situation on Crested Mountain through the Xuanguang Mirror, and couldn't help sighing: "If you come to the Buddha, how should this be good?" ”

In the Lingxiao Palace, Rulai stood on the lotus platform, made a flower with one hand, and said with a smile: "Jade Emperor, if the ten thousand demons take refuge in the Buddha Realm, it will be a big deal for the Buddha Realm. ”

"Originally, the catastrophe of Journey to the West, this ten thousand demons is one of the catastrophes."

"Now, these twelve demons are reckless, violating the majesty of the heavenly court, and letting others take action, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to do well."

"It can only be the old man who has taken a trip to Fengtou Mountain."

When the Jade Emperor heard this, he said, "This is very good. ”

"With the Buddha's action, he will definitely be able to subdue these twelve demons."

The Buddha smiled and said: "It's easy to subdue the twelve demons, but don't forget the Jade Emperor, in the country of ten thousand demons, there is also a gibbon." ”

"Jade Emperor, why don't you ask Patriarch Bodhi to make a move together?"
