Said that the three masters and apprentices have successfully completed the task of promoting the Tao, and today the merit is complete, and Lao Jun gave Song Seng the elixir to take off the mortal womb.

Order the four heavenly kings to send the three of the Song monks and apprentices back to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to resume their lives, the Lingxiao Treasure Hall has six Ding Liujia, four values of Gong Cao, five directions to reveal the truth, nine Yao stars, too platinum stars, barefoot immortals, twenty-eight stars, etc., Song Seng and others returned to the sky and said: The disciple has received the decree of the Taishang Dao Ancestor, and today the merit is complete to come to the Dao Ancestor to pay the decree. ”

Daozu was very happy and said: Allowed to pay, allowed to pay. "Lao Jun Dao: How are Song Seng and the others dignified all the way?"

The Tao of the Gods: Solid and sincere, but also unable to escape the observation of the Dao Ancestor, Song Seng went through thousands of difficulties and dangers all the way in order to obtain the Tao, and the suffering was unspeakable.

"He suffered along the way, and the little gods kept it in mind, and this is their disaster account book begging Dao Ancestor to check it. It reads: There are a total of one hundred and eight tribulations such as birth tribulations, cultivation in the four directions, and shedding the □□ of mortal wombs. ”

Taishang Laojun will go through the ordeal account book to check it again and say: Now you wait for the Tao to return to the truth, pass it on the upper half of the Tao Sutra, and the lower half of the Dao Sutra invites everyone to go to the immortal mountain where the Yuan Shi Tianzun lives in the tribulation to obtain, this Tao Sutra has the mystery of immortals.

There is the basis for all things to be flexible. Song Seng said: The disciple obeys the decree of the Taoist ancestors, and the disciple led the Quartet to obtain the Bible of the Tao above, and now the merit is complete, and now it has been successful, and I hope that I will return to the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible to restore my life.

Lao Jundao: Wait outside the Nantian Gate, you still have a tribulation, but the heavenly machine must not be revealed. ”

In an instant, the four heavenly kings: those who are in trouble will become enlightened. The four heavenly kings fell these three people to the mortal world together with their horses, and Song Seng fell to the mortal world and said: Could it be that this is what Lao Jun said about an ordeal.

King Ling said: As the saying goes, I have become a Taoist body after hardships, and there must be a reason why God asked me to wait for the tribulation, Song Seng said: The words of the apprentice are wonderful, but what kind of place is this.

"Gangcai said: Master This is Tongtianhai, it turned out that we fell here, but how did I feel strange in my heart, at this time Song Seng remembered: I remember, in the past, I waited to rescue Chenjia Village, saved his parents, and thanked us for building a boat to send each other."

"But why did the ancestor of this Dao send us here, and I am embarrassed to go to Chenjia Village again to pray for the shipbuilding to send us, Song Seng said: As a teacher, he has already attained the Tao and taken off the mortal womb."

"When you use your powers, a thousand rivers will pass. It's just that there are still tribulations, so let's stay here. The masters and apprentices suddenly heard someone shouting: Song Daochang, Song Daochang, Song Daochang! Here, here! ”

"When everyone saw that there was no boat everywhere, but it was a big-headed whale, he shouted on the seashore, "Old Daoist, I am overjoyed when I heard that the Taoist has achieved positive results."

Spirit Dao: You whale can have the heart to receive and come up to the shore. Forget it, trust you whale for the time being, if you dare to have treachery, I will exterminate it, Song Seng and others came up to the body, and the old whale carried them and stepped through the waves for a few days.

The next day, he approached the shore and said: Old Daoist, I want to invite you to see the Taishang Dao Ancestor in the Dao Heavenly Court, and ask me how many years I still have, and the poor Dao Quartet has obtained the Tao Sutra, and I have taken off the mortal womb, and I flew up to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and I concentrated on worshipping the Dao, and my thoughts are only in the true scriptures, and the poor Dao cannot be asked, and the time has come to know that the time has come for the Dao Heaven to not be revealed.

After hearing this, the big whale took his body and threw the three masters and apprentices and the horse into the sea, fortunately the white horse was changed by the Dragon King of the North Sea, and the port was the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court with a sword guard.

The spirit is the king of the East Spirit Mountain, and the spirit shows his powers, and helps Song Seng out of the water to the coast, but his clothes, shoes and hats are wet. ”

The three of them were tidying up on the coast, suddenly there was a gust of wind, the sky was dark, thunder and lightning were combined, stones and flying sand, Song Seng held down the scriptures, Hong Kong pressed the warp burden, and the spirit waved his sword to protect Song Seng and said: The master's gust of wind and thunder and lightning is a demon.

If you want to seize the clothes of the Taoist Chief, immortality and immortality, the Spirit Man said: We protect the master to obtain the Tao Sutra, which is born of the aura of heaven and earth.

It can live with all things for a long time, the sun and the moon live together, the longevity is eternal, the Dharma body is indestructible, the master has obtained the Dharma body, thunder cannot be blasted, and electricity cannot be hit. ”

The four of them checked the customs clearance documents, dried them one by one, and suddenly saw a few fishing boat people, and recognized the Taoist: The old master was here to seek the Tao in all directions? ”

Gangcaidao: Exactly, exactly. Where are you from? How do you know the three of us?

Fisherman: We are from Chenjia Village, look at this good face, it was really a monster back then, fortunately the Taoist and others accepted your demon as an apprentice, and I waited for the village to be peaceful. ”

Zhu Gangcai said: I was just greedy back then, if I did anything rebellious, don't care, and ask how many miles of land there is in Chenjia Village? "Fisherman: It's ten miles east of this rush, even if it's right."

Hong Kong Caidao: Master, let's go to Chenjia Village to dry. In his village, where there is a place to sit and eat, he asks his family to wash and wash our clothes with us, and dry the customs clearance papers, but is it not good? ”

Song Seng said: No need, we just dry it here, if you go to their house to eat as a teacher, you will never be spared, the fisherman met Chen Cheng by chance, and shouted: The masters who helped your parents and wife the year before last came back. ”

Chen Chengdao: Where did you see it? The fisherman replied: Walk on the shore to dry books and customs clearance papers.

Chen Cheng brought a few households, came to visit, knelt in front of him and said: "The Taoist chief has returned from the Taoist scriptures, and the merits are complete, it is better to go to the house to rest, but here to dry books and customs clearance documents, please ask the Taoist chief to rest at home."

Lingwang said: I'll go with you when the scriptures and customs clearance documents are dried. ”

Chen Cheng replied: The elder's clothes are dirty, Song Seng said: You might as well, the day before yesterday, the big white whale was dragged across the sea, and it was about to dock, and he asked the Taoist to ask the Taoist ancestor to ask me how many years I still have to live, and I said: The heavenly secret must not be leaked, and the time will come to know.

When he heard this, he threw us into the sea, and that was why we got wet and dirty. ”

Chen Cheng said: Please rest, I will wait for the village people to clean up the scriptures, all the village people helped, dried in the sun for a while, and the next day Song Seng said: The apprentices packed up and rushed to Chenjia Village. The people in that village, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, old and young, all came to see it? Chen Cheng took his family to thank the Taoist for saving his parents and wife, and ordered the servants to fast.

Song Seng since he obtained the elixir of the Taoist ancestors, took off the mortal fetus to become an immortal, he didn't want to eat mortal food at all, the spirit king never ate the mortal fire food, the spirit king said: Hong Kong is not allowed to eat, Hong Kong is not like before, put down the fast, Song Seng bathed in the Chen family village, and wanted to quickly arrive at the fairy mountain to pay homage to the Yuan Shi Tianzun in the hope of obtaining the above Bible as soon as possible to return to the dynasty.

How are the people of Chenjia Village willing to let go, and said: Thanks to the Taoist chief's deep gratitude for saving his parents and wife, the people of our village built a Taoist temple, called the Life-saving Temple, and served incense continuously, and we will not let it go easily.

Song Seng said: Seeing that the Taoist temple incense is in full bloom, and it is not easy to excuse it if it is covered neatly, Song Seng said: Three days later, I went to Xianshan to visit Yuan Shi Tianzun to get the second half of the moral Bible, and the people said: Very good! Very good! When the people went down to the Taoist temple to fast, they invited the Taoist elders to eat fast, and the spiritual person asked: I don't know when this temple was built? ”

The people said: This Taoist temple was built three years ago, and it is enshrined every year, especially thanks to King Ling's kindness in rescuing his parents. "When he saw the people before and after, they bowed their heads and gave thanks. Suddenly, Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun cast the spell Ling Wang and said: I am Yuan Shi Tianzun, and you will go to Xianshan to get the upper part of the moral Bible in the lower half, and Chen Ling told the master the reason.

"Song Seng said: Thanks to the Yuan Shi Tianzun casting a spell, I will go to Xianshan to get the second half of the Bible, the people of Chenjia Village are not good at prevaricating, the master and apprentice went to Xianshan to get the second half of the true scripture and listen to the next time."

The three of them went around to preach demons, and with the four heavenly kings and nine stars rising from the clouds, they saw the robbers hurting everyone in the Shaolin Temple, and the three jumped off the fairy clouds, punished the robbers and drove away in the clouds.

The little monk said: Master, is that a fairy, why don't you stay so that I can give them a thanksgiving, if it weren't for them, the temple doesn't know how many people will die, we might as well build statues for them, burn incense and bow every day.

Master said: That's good, just now the clouds soared and all the people must have seen it, if you build a statue, you can continue to burn incense every day, and make a gold every day, so that the monks in the temple can live well. ”

The Four Heavenly Kings and Jiuyao Xing sent the three of them to the border of the Great Song Dynasty in less than half a day, and gradually returned to the capital. It turned out that Song Taizong sent Song monks out of the city since he was emperor for 12 years, preaching in all directions, eight years later this year.

Song □□ received this Tao Te Ching on the floor of the capital. "Taizong came to this tower every year to watch, hoping to obtain the Tao Te Ching above as soon as possible, so that the Great Song Dynasty could learn the text of morality above, and suddenly the sky was full of colors, and layers of beautiful clouds.

The Four Heavenly Kings: This place is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, we can't go down, otherwise we will let mortals see the empty leakage of the heavenly machine, Chen Ling and the other three are also a little embarrassed to go down. ”

You will go and pass the scriptures to the Great Song Dynasty, even if you come up, I will wait for you in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and return to your life with you. Chen Lingdao: It is indeed inconvenient for you, we will pick up the scriptures and send them to the Great Song Dynasty, please take care of this horse. ”

I'll wait to preach the scriptures, and you wait here first. ”

The Four Heavenly Kings: The day before yesterday, the Dao Ancestor Yuan Shi Tianzun told him that it would be completed in only ten days to pass the scriptures to the Great Song Dynasty, and today it will be more than half a day, I am afraid that your stupid junior brother Zhu Gangcai is greedy for wealth and beauty in the world, and I am afraid that I will miss the time. ”

Zhu Gangcai said: My master and I have become immortals, how can we covet the beauty of the world, it is true that I preach in all directions, I don't like to look at beautiful women, but now I will never again, you unreasonable and coarse people! Wait for me to finish preaching the sermon and come back to reason with you. ”

Gang Cai jumped the burden full of scriptures, and slowly walked down the city tower from the air with his senior brother Chen Ling and his master Song Seng. Song Taizong and many big pipes saw above, and the righteous brother came? "Song monks bowed, Taizong said: Who are these two people?"

Song Seng said: These two people are two apprentices in the poor road, the eldest apprentice Chen Ling, the second apprentice Zhu Gangcai, and one more can't be said.

Song Taizong said: Please go to my horse, and I will return to the court with you.

Song Seng said: Poor Dao thank you for your great grace, after riding the Taizong horse, Chen Ling waved his gun to protect it, Hong Kong only carried the burden of scriptures into the court, Song Seng and others entered the court, the people did not know that it was the people who took the scriptures back, the sunlight above suddenly moved don't let go, the little Taoist said: Is this God reminding me that my master has come back from the scriptures.

Song Seng looked back and said: The apprentices came back for the teacher, I went for more than seven or eight years, three days later the people knew that the gods came back, and the people discussed: the gods went down from the sky to the city tower and returned to the court with the long live Lord three days ago, and the Song monks will be horses and Taoist scriptures, with Chen Ling and Hong Kong to enter the court with Song Taizong.

Taizong Dao: Brother Yi, please sit down, Song Seng said: Thank you for your great grace, Taizong Dao: How many roads are there in the Tao Sutra? ”

Song Seng said: The minister waited to the fairy mountain, see Tianzun, thanks to the crane boy, the white goose boy two fairy children into the treasure pavilion to preach this sutra. The two fairy children asked for the treasure, but they didn't get it, but I didn't have it, and then the sermon was passed, and we thank the great grace of the Heavenly Venerable.

But on the way, he encountered two monsters, so he simply searched for the monster with mana and exterminated the monsters, but the Taoist scripture fell into the river, opened and watched all the scriptures above the scriptures, and the poor Tao was not talented, and returned to the fairy mountain to tell Tianzun, Tianzun said: This is the moral scripture above.

Once upon a time, the former Dongling Immortal King came to watch a scripture, this scripture can make mortals, beyond life and death, ten generations to cultivate the Taoist body, but he only gave a fruit to ask for it, he meant that I thought that my Taoist scriptures were cheap, and I could ask for treasures from two boys.

Song Seng said: I have the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to give gold and jade to the boy.

Tianzun Dao: There are 36 parts of this scripture, with a total of 1,346 volumes, and it is sent to the Great Song Dynasty to spread the scriptures. ”

Song Taizong said happily and shouted: The court set up a banquet to entertain and reward generously. ”

Suddenly, he saw that his second apprentice was walking at the bottom of the stairs with a strange appearance, so he asked: Who is the senior apprentice. ”

The Taoist chief prostrated himself and said: "The eldest apprentice, Chen Ling, is known as the Spirit King, and the ministers call him Chen Ling.

He was born in the Dongling Holy Mountain combined with the essence of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, because two hundred years ago he made a big disturbance in the Three Realms, and was pressed in the fairy mountain by Tianzun with mana.

Protect Weichen all the way to the demon and eliminate the demon, the second apprentice's surname is Zhu, the word is arrogant, and the minister is called Hong Kongcai, he was born in the Demon Cloud Cave of Beiling Mountain, because of the resting women of the good family in Beiling Mountain, thanks to the old gentleman's persuasion, the loss of the spirit is received.

"Shouldering the burden and contributing all the way, trekking through mountains and rivers has merit, and also helping the big apprentice spirit to slay demons and eliminate demons is secondary. and the horse that His Majesty gave to his ministers is no longer in the world. ”

Taizong Dao: The hair is the same, how is it not a horse given by me? ”

Song Seng said: The minister went to the Python Ling Mountain to swim and wade, the original horse has been swallowed by this dragon horse, and the person who lost the spirit asked Lao Jun to come and ask about the origin.

Lao Jun said: This dragon horse was originally the dragon king of the North Sea, because he made a big mistake, thanks to Lao Jun's intercession with the Jade Emperor to save him.

Tell him to turn into a Ryoma and make a leg force on the way to the minister. Song Taizong heard and said: How far away is it to seek the Tao Sutra above? ”

Song Seng said: Listening to Lao Jun's words, the road is 94,210 miles away. I didn't remember the number on the way, only that it was seven or eight cold and summer. Riri mountain road, Riri village.

There are a lot of mountains, the river is spacious, and it has passed through several dynasties, and the customs clearance document printed is a sure thing. ”

Apprentices, send the customs clearance documents to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to watch and store them. "Taizong saw that it was given to me eight years ago before November, and Taizong said: The path is far away, and now I have been the emperor for 20 years."

There are the seals of the Baohu Kingdom, the Rat, the West Crack, the Treasure Seal, the Tianzi Seal, the Bifo Seal, the Extinction Seal, the Immortal City Seal, the Jade Dragon City Seal, and many other seals, please read them.

His Majesty said: Not bad! Accepted! Accepted! On the same day, invite the officials to a banquet and walk hand in hand with Your Majesty, do you have the power of mana? ”

Song Seng said: The little apprentice is the strange god body of the mountain forest, and the big apprentice spirit used to make trouble in the Dragon Palace and the underworld without knowing the etiquette of the imperial court, and I beg Your Majesty to forgive the guilt. ”

Taizong threatened in his heart: No crime, no crime, invite the righteous disciples and apprentices to the banquet with all the officials. ”

Song Seng said: Thank you for your great grace, both of you go to the scriptures to watch the scriptures by yourself in front of the scriptures, my great country in China is broad and profound, but look at that: Tianmen Xuanhuang, the red face in the earth, the world of China's great country is unique. ”

The three masters and apprentices went to the banquet together with hundreds of civil and military officials. Emperor Taizong sat in it, singing and dancing, the whole period was solemn and joyful for a long time. Sure enough: to obtain the blessing of the Tao Sutra, the monarch and the minister went to the banquet together.

It has been passed down through the ages, and the light of the road shines on the emperor's palace. Tomorrow morning, the three masters and apprentices will have a great feast.

Taizong returned to the palace, many officials returned to the house, Song Seng and others returned to the Tianfu Taoist Temple, saw many Taoist priests kowtowing to greet them, and the others said: The master said that the sun above changed direction, and it was the time when I returned to the Taoist Temple.

I waited until I remembered the master's mantra to come out to greet him, and then Hong Kong secretly entered the kitchen to eat tea and rice, Song Seng and the spirit were steady, and they said that they were still complete with the Taoist body, and they rested at noon that day, but they didn't know that the incident of Hong Kong Cai had been seen by Lao Jun in the heavenly court, and the rest were taken a nap without knowing the feelings. ”

The next day, Taizong went to court and said to the ministers: "Today, there is a righteous brother's merit, which is supreme and profound, and I can't thank you." After yesterday's dinner, I asked the historian to come, and I will write a poem with you to praise my righteous brother. ”

Its poems: cover the world and have a strange phenomenon, the illustrious Song Dynasty overlays it, the four times and the five elements of heaven and earth, the mediocre people in the world accept it, and the above Tao Jing advocates the transmission, and benefits the world forever. ”

Taizong immediately recalled the Taoist: At this time, the Taoist was waiting outside the court, Taizong announced that he invited the Taoist to go to the temple, Taizong preached: This official document Taoist supreme is infinite, I thank the righteous brother for his kindness today, and tomorrow I will pass the Taoist Sutra to the Quartet Taoist Temple, so that the world can learn the Taoist Sutra to learn and struggle, and help our dynasty resist foreign enemies, which is my great luck. ”

On the same day, many tubes gathered, visited the holy scriptures above, ready to pass on, Taizong said: how about the righteous brother read the Bible again, the Taoist said: Your Majesty, the scriptures above can not be read in the main hall, for fear of leaking the heavenly opportunity, the true scriptures can only be passed into the Taoist temple, not to the traitors in the court, otherwise it will be unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty and His Majesty. ”

Taizong listened to the Tao: I know what to do, and then ordered many eunuch officials and palace maids to hold the Taoist scriptures and send them to various Taoist temples, and Song Seng said: If Your Majesty transmits the Taoist scriptures to the Taoist temples to teach the world, the world will know Your Majesty's kindness, and the true scriptures must be treasured and not despised . ”

The words of the righteous brother were well known in my heart, and I passed on the Hanlin Academy and Shangshu to write scriptures, and built a Taoist temple, called Yulong Taoist Temple.

Suddenly, the four heavenly kings appeared in the sky and shouted: The time is not too early for the Taoist and the Spirit King to go back to Heaven and let us go back to Heaven to live a rich life, and then Song Seng and others returned to the Heavenly Court Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Song Seng said: Bow to the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor will live forever! Eternal life also. ”

Jade Emperor Dao: Congratulations to the Taoist for his efforts to obtain the moral scriptures of the holy scriptures above, after eight years of hardship, and the merits of the Three Realms, I hope that the Taoist scriptures above can enable the world to learn the truth and practice the Tao. ”

Song Seng said: In your previous life, you were the reincarnation of Laojun's boy, called the Golden Boy, because you did not listen to Laojun's preaching, so you were reincarnated from the new Tao, and today you regained your true body and returned to heaven It is gratifying to congratulate, the spirit king once made a big fuss in the Buddha world, and was pressed by Tianzun in Kunlun Immortal Mountain, fortunately returned to Taoism.

And punish evil and promote good in the world, promote the power of my heavenly court, take the Tao in all directions, kill demons all the way, and today I named you the Taishang East Spirit God King, Zhu Gangcai was the daughter of the guard with a knife because of his greed for women.

I degraded it to a lowly reincarnation, like a half-demon, fortunately there was no sin, no harm to the lowly human beings, fortunately into Taoism, into my Taoism, to protect the Song monks Quartet to obtain the above moral Bible, but the greed does not change, the heart is not lost, because you have the merit to join Taoism.

I named you as the gatekeeper of Nantianmen today, are you willing, Gangcai said: They all have to become immortals and do whatever they want, but why is it only me who is a gatekeeper of Nantianmen, I am not convinced! I'm not convinced! Jade Emperor Dao: Why are you not convinced, I teased my daughter in my previous life.

I don't want to skin you and file your bones into the land of Jiuyou is already your luck, today there is a talk to me, it seems that you still want to reincarnate and practice, the Jade Emperor decreed: Zhu Gangcai will be reduced to the way of committing a cheap eternity and not being immortal, Gangcai immediately knelt down and begged: Your Majesty spares your life! Your Majesty spares your life!

I don't dare anymore! Don't dare anymore! Jade Emperor Dao: Seeing that your cultivation is not easy, I will forgive you today and I will never forgive you if you commit it again in the future.

Zhu Gangcai said: Thank you for the great grace of His Majesty the Jade Emperor, and never do it again! Never again! ”

The Dragon King of the North Sea falsely accused the Spirit King of stealing the Divine Iron, fortunately the old monarch interceded, because of his merits in taking the Tao through the foot power is now back to the right position, and the future will not be able to transcend the eternal life, the three have achieved the right result, the Jade Emperor declared: I respectfully invite the Buddha of the West, the Venerable Guanyin, the Maitreya Buddha, Manjushri Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva of Puxian, the Spirit King Bodhisattva, all the immortals, the land, and the mountain gods to go to heaven to listen to the seal.

The Jade Emperor said: "You and the other three have cultivated the right fruit, today there are all the gods and Buddhas to eat peaches, the Jade Emperor said: Every year on the 18th day of July in the heavenly court is the Christmas of the Queen Mother of the West in Yaochi, and there are 3,600 peach trees in the peach orchard of the Queen Mother.

"Wait for the immortals, gods and Buddhas, please taste, and then the spirit will think back to the past, please watch, after a thousand years, the spirit was parasitized by the light of the universe and obtained the mana to create countless universes, save all things in the universe, and eliminate the monsters who tried to govern countless universes."

Next is the reminiscence.
