The reason why Tang Seng went up the mountain was also because Yuan Gong's strength was too strong, if the other party really wanted to arrest him, there was no need to trick him, it was better to go up the mountain with the other party.

As for the immortals who secretly protected Tang Seng, they didn't stop it, and the decree they got was only to secretly protect the life of the golden cicada who was now a mortal, and they had no right to interfere with anything else, and all the obstacles they encountered on the way to the west were also calamities that their masters and apprentices needed to overcome.

Yuan Gong took Tang Seng and they flew towards the mountain, and along the way, Tang Seng looked at the monsters who took care of the mountains below, and silently recited a Buddha name.

"Why, isn't the master surprised, thinking that our goblin territory should be a miasma of smoke and bones!" Yuan Gong looked at Tang Seng's expression and asked.

"Amitabha, the poor monk is really surprised, all the way west, I have been to a lot of goblin caves, but this time, I feel that this place is more like a blessed land of immortals!"

"It's all managed by our queen!"

"Oh, what about your king?"

"The king of my family is dedicated to cultivation and rarely takes care of things, in the final analysis, the king and the master of my family are still of the same race, they are all human beings!"

Hearing Yuan Gong's words, Tang Seng couldn't help but be a little surprised, he always thought that the leader of the ten thousand demons was a powerful goblin, but he didn't expect that the other party was a person, and he was really strange in his heart, how the other party ruled the ten thousand demons with his body.

Yuan Gong: "Master, but I wonder why human beings can rule us?" ”

"Amitabha, the poor monk is asking this!" Since the other party took the initiative to say it, Tang Seng naturally wanted to know the answer.

"This is very simple, let's take an analogy, in the eyes of Xiao Liu'er, whether it is a chicken or a dog, it is not the same kind of person, and the same is true for natural people!"

"Amitabha!" After hearing this sentence, Tang Seng felt a lot of emotion in his heart, but he really didn't know what to say, so he could only recite a Buddha name to represent his inner words.

"Can I ask the master a question?"

"Amitabha, may I ask the donor?"

"Master, you said that people kill chickens, dogs, rabbits, snakes, insects, rats, ants and even everything, but I have never seen these creatures shouting at people, but when these creatures have the strength to resist, why do humans shout to kill demons and demons?"

"Amitabha, this question can't be answered by the poor monks, but the poor monks know that all living beings are suffering, and this is to go to the West Heaven to obtain the true scriptures and purify all sentient beings!" As he spoke, Tang Seng's expression became solemn.

Looking at Tang Seng's pilgrim's expression, Yuan Gong smiled in his heart, this smile was not to laugh at Tang Seng, but he felt that Tang Seng was so stupid and cute, he really believed that there were Buddhist scriptures that could purify all sentient beings, and he didn't want to think about it, if the Buddhist scriptures really had such a great ability, this world would have been a Buddhist country for a long time, how could there be other living beings.

"The master is ambitious, great, and a great man!"

Huang Ying'er: "Gong Yuan, we're here!" ”

"Well, Master, please!" Yuan Gong fell, stretched out his hand to Tang Seng, and motioned for him to invite him into the cave.

Tang Seng: "Amitabha, donor, please!" ”

Yuan Gong didn't let go anymore, and walked towards the cave.

………………………………

Sun Wukong walked towards the entrance of the cave, looked at the silver-haired Yuan Gong walking in, and said in his heart: It's him, but how did he know the master?

Yuan Gong Sun Wukong saw it last time and knew that this monkey was much more powerful than himself, but he really couldn't figure out how his master knew Yuan Gong.

But then, the next figure gave him the answer, because the six-eared macaque and Tang Seng walked in together, and Huang Ying'er walked in last.

Entering the cave, Yuan Gong's six-eared macaque and Huang Ying'er immediately knelt down and said to Dongfang Sheng: "My subordinates have seen the king, the queen, and the little princess!" ”

Dongfang Sheng nodded and motioned for the three of them to get up.

"Amitabha, the poor monk Tang Sanzang has seen the king!" Tang Seng folded his hands at Dongfang Sheng and performed a Buddhist etiquette.

Dongfang Sheng: "It's just right that you came, your disciple didn't say anything about going up the mountain without saying anything, and he did something to peep, I didn't kill him, but I couldn't help but punish him, and now I will punish him for taking care of the mountains and fields for me for three hundred years, and then I will let him go, you are still convinced as a master!" ”

"Amitabha, the apprentice of the poor monk did such an ugly thing, and the king did not kill him, but just let him do labor to atone for his sins, which is already great mercy!" As soon as he heard that Zhu Bajie was peeping at others, Tang Seng didn't even ask Zhu Bajie, knowing that this thing must be something that his apprentice Zhu Bajie could do!

"You are reasonable, but your eldest apprentice thinks that my punishment is too severe, and I know him well, give him a chance, as long as you can convince me, I will not only spare Zhu Bajie, but also let you go west, otherwise the three of you will take a detour!"

"Amitabha!" Tang Seng heard a burst of contemplation, the detour is definitely not possible, this way Tang Seng also understood, he not only has to go on foot to learn the scriptures in the west, but also to overcome many obstacles in order to obtain the true scriptures, if you hide in trouble, it will definitely not work.

Tang Seng thought for a while, looked at Dongfang Sheng and said: "The poor monk learned that the king is a human body, but he can lead ten thousand demons, and he also recognizes the concept of equality of all beings!" Today, the king rules all the demons, and there is peace here, but I don't know that outside here, there are still sentient beings suffering, and the poor monks go to the west to seek the true scriptures, which is precisely for the sake of these sentient beings to get out of the sea of suffering, which is also immeasurable merit! ”

Seeing Tang Seng say the great righteousness, Dongfang Sheng smiled and said: "The merit is moving, but I don't care, but if the Buddhist scriptures in your mouth can really benefit all sentient beings, it is not that you can't let you go, as long as you come back and let me take a look!" "Dongfang Sheng doesn't care about merit anymore, but I don't know if the success of the journey to the west here will bring down merit, and even if there is merit, it is estimated that most of it will be for Heavenly Court and Buddhism.

"Amitabha, the door of Buddhism is wide and convenient, and the donor wants to see it!" Tang Seng obviously promised Dongfang Sheng what he said, and seeking the true scriptures would make Dongfang Sheng take a look.

Dongfang Sheng: "Monk, I have one more sentence, that is, your Buddhist scriptures can really benefit all sentient beings." ”

No matter which journey to the west, it does not mean that Mahayana Buddhism has exhausted all sentient beings, and combined with history, although the Buddhist scriptures are taken, the sentient beings are still like that, the only difference is that there are more people who believe in Buddhism.

Tang Seng: "The donor doesn't believe in the true scriptures!" ”

Dongfang Sheng nodded: "How can sentient beings be able to cross a few Buddhist scriptures, if the Buddhist scriptures really have such a great ability, you and I should be listening to the scriptures in Lingshan at this time!" And if I'm not mistaken, you were a golden cicada in your previous life, sitting down on the Buddha and listening to Zen, and you were drowsy listening to Mahayana Buddhism at that time. Even you, who were a disciple of the Buddha at the time, couldn't listen to this so-called Mahayana Buddhism, so how could you let sentient beings realize through it? ”

"Amitabha Buddha ......" Tang Seng did not argue again, first, Dongfang Sheng said that he didn't know how to justify, and second, he saw that Dongfang Sheng didn't want them to go over at all.

Dongfang Sheng: "Okay, Xiao Liu'er and Ying'er know you, let them lead you around the mountains, tomorrow at dawn, Wukong, you can lead your master and your third junior brother down the mountain!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, Dongfang Sheng's figure disappeared from the spot, along with Yuyin and Xiaoqing.

Even if Dongfang Sheng left, the demons did not mess up, and they did not make any moves against Sun Wukong, they all glanced at a few people, and also fled from the same place. They all know that there is going to be a fierce battle next!

Seeing the demons leaving, Zhu Bajie limped over, looked at Huang Ying'er and the six-eared macaque and asked: "Miss Ying'er and the little monkey, you see we all know each other, especially Miss Ying'er, can you escape from heaven, or I will let you go, do you see if you can give me a favor?" ”

"Yes, especially if we have a few masters and apprentices over!" Sun Wukong also hurriedly said.

"No, although the king seems to be kind, his decision will not be changed easily!" Huang Ying'er listened, and refused directly without thinking about it.

Six-eared macaque: "Yes, yes, sometimes I don't even dare to say anything in the face of the king!" ”

"And the marshal, no matter what, Ying'er was released by you, although I have no right to let you go, but don't worry, in the next three hundred years, I will let people take care of you."

"That's fine, give me more food, do less work, it's okay, it's better to find someone to work for me!"

"Wu Neng, don't embarrass the donor of Ying'er!"

"Yes, master!"

"Second Senior Brother, you have to work hard here in the future, we will miss you from time to time!" Sha Wujing said innocently.

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and said to Huang Ying'er and Tang Seng: "Sister Ying'er, and Master, why don't we go out for a spin, see what beautiful scenery this mountain has, and by the way, take a look at where the old pig will work in the future!" ”

"It's good!"

Next, they followed Huang Ying'er and the six-eared macaque out of the cave, and along the way, Huang Ying'er introduced everyone like a guide.

Sun Wukong ate a banana and asked, "Sister Ying'er, there is such a road here, which mountain road leads to the back mountain!" ”

Huang Ying'er said truthfully: "All roads can lead to the back mountain. ”

Then after a while, Sun Wukong suddenly said: "Sister Ying'er, you and the little monkey go back first, we have to say some parting words because of the separation of the old pig, we decided to talk for a night tonight, and tomorrow we will go down the mountain by ourselves!" ”

"This ......" Huang Ying'er wanted to say something, but before she opened her mouth, Sun Wukong said: "The four of us master and apprentice are talking, we will inevitably be a little unable to let go of your presence, don't worry, we won't walk around, I have written down this way!" ”

"Okay, let's talk, I'll go back first!" Huang Ying'er pulled Xiao Liu'er and was about to leave, Xiao Liu'er obviously wanted to say something, but was stopped by Huang Ying'er.

"See you later!" Sun Wukong smiled at Huang Ying'er and Xiao Liu'er.

……

After walking away, Xiao Liu'er asked, "Sister Ying'er, why don't you let me tell Brother Wukong not to mess around, he wants to slip away while the night is dark!" ”

"Let him go, if he keeps going to the back mountain, it may be the safest!"
