Chapter 2: The Trouble of the Pilgrims

Sanzang has always had a secret in his heart, and he has never told anyone. He is a person who has lived for two lives, in his previous life he lived on a planet called Earth, but then he accidentally traveled to the present world and was reborn and became a monk.

When Sanzang was reborn, he unexpectedly obtained a system called the Hidden Monk. Sanzang, who has read countless travel novels, naturally knows that the system is powerful and invincible.

So he opened his mouth to ask the system for a book of invincible magic skills that can be invincible in the world after practice, originally Sanzang didn't have any hope, but what Sanzang didn't expect was that the system really gave him a magic skill that was invincible in the world after practice.

But then Sanzang regretted it, but he didn't expect this to be a big trap set by the system for himself. When Sanzang received the divine skill, the system actually reminded Sanzang to take the task of divine skill, and it must take fifty years to practice the divine skill, during this period, Sanzang can not leave the Wuliang Temple, and he cannot practice any exercises in this world, and the task cannot be canceled.

So in this way, Sanzang has been in Wuliang Temple for fifty years, from a small sweeping monk to now only himself and his apprentice Huiming two temple masters.

Of course, a large part of the reason is because the former monks in the temple have migrated and left here, so Sanzang became the owner of the empty Wuliang Temple.

And Huiming is an abandoned baby who didn't know who was left at the gate of Wuliang Temple more than ten years ago.

Although Sanzang also accepted some apprentices, they all left Wuliang Temple like Huineng in the end.

One of the main reasons was that because Wuliang Temple was poor and had no money and no future, they all left without hesitation.

But Sanzang doesn't care, as long as he lives well, he cares about all the opinions of others.

After the excitement, Sanzang fell asleep deeply. As soon as the morning dawned, Sanzang got up.

"Morning, master!"

Walking out of the door, Sanzang saw Hui Ming who was practicing, there was Hui Neng before, and Hui Ming practiced secretly to practice, but now that Hui Neng is gone, Hui Ming naturally doesn't have to hide.

After studying the system all night last night, Sanzang now feels that he is not in good spirits.

However, there are also many discoveries in the study of Sanzang.

Among them, in the system mall, Sanzang saw his own immeasurable temple incomplete exercises immeasurable scriptures, a total of six immeasurable scriptures, into the qi chapter, Ning Yuan chapter, metamorphosis chapter, Hua Dan chapter, Linghai chapter, Huaxian chapter.

They correspond to the six realms of the cultivation realm: the Qi Realm, the Condensing Yuan Realm, the Metamorphosis Realm, the Transforming Dan Realm, the Linghai Realm, and the Immortal Realm.

And to exchange things in the system mall, you must use function value, and function value can only be obtained through tasks, so if you want to exchange items in the mall, Sanzang must work hard to complete various tasks.

Today, Sanzang received a task, although there are only five function values, but it is very easy. Only one pilgrim is needed to recruit a pilgrim for the Wuliang Temple, and the task can be completed.

If it was before, Sanzang couldn't get out of the Wuliang Temple, and it would be useless to take this task, but now that Sanzang can go out of the Wuliang Temple, he will naturally be able to complete this task.

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the temple.

"It's coming!"

Sanzang didn't expect that he had just taken over the task, and someone came to the door immediately.

Opening the door, Sanzang saw the person knocking on the door. The knock on the door was a strange man, who was dressed in thick clothes all over his body, and his head was wrapped in death, leaving only a pair of eyes.

And Sanzang can't see the charm that a normal person should have in this person's eyes, but it is like stagnant water in a deep pool, calm and deep, without a trace of ripples.

"I don't know what you're doing, do you want to come to worship the Buddha or donate money to accumulate merit?"

Although this person is eccentric, but he is a guest at the door, Sanzang naturally wants to ask, and even if this person really has a problem, now that Sanzang's invincible magic skills have been practiced, even if the god Lao Tzu comes, he is still not afraid, how can he be afraid of a mere weirdo!

"I want to be alone in front of the Buddha statue. ”

The strange man took out a gold ingot and threw it to Sanzang, and then ignored Sanzang at all, and walked towards the Buddha hall of Wuliang Temple.

Sanzang happily hugged the gold ingot, did not stop the strange man, as the so-called rich you are the uncle, since people give so much money, then let him go!

Anyway, as long as he doesn't demolish the house, Sanzang won't care about him.

"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for completing the first pilgrim quest and obtaining five function points, please check it for yourself. ”

Sanzang opened the system, and sure enough, it showed that he had five function values, but at present, Sanzang planned to exchange the Ning Yuan Chapter of the Infinite Sutra for Huiming, and the Ning Yuan Chapter of the Infinite Sutra needed one hundred function values to exchange, so Sanzang could only continue to find a way to do the task.

The day passed quickly, and at dinner, the little monk Huiming spoke.

"Master, how can I see that the benefactor has been staying in the Buddha hall today, not saying anything, not doing anything, what is he going to do?"

Sanzang looked at Huiming and said:

"What was your situation when the master asked you to stand like this in front of the Buddha statue?"

The little monk Huiming thought for a moment and said:

"It was when the master made me think about it. ”

Sanzang said with a smile:

"Isn't this the case? This donor has a sinful karma in his heart that he wants to explain to the Buddha, that's why he stands in front of the Buddha like this and is silent, so don't bother him!"

"Oh!"

Hui Ming nodded clearly, but asked in a low voice:

"Master, how much money did he give?"

Sanzang's face turned dark, and he said sharply:

"The monks think about money all day long, your Buddha is in vain!

The little monk Huiming pursed his lips and walked out aggrievedly.

"That won't leave alone, will it?"

Sanzang suddenly thought about whether the strange man would just stay in the Wuliang Temple.

After sunset, the strange man still did not leave, but continued to stand quietly in front of the Buddha statue.

"Master, this person can't be sick, right?"

"Probably not! I think he's pretty normal!"

Sanzang and Huiming, one big and one small, hid at the door of the Buddha hall and quietly peeked at the strange man standing in front of the Buddha statue.

The strange man seemed to have discovered Sanzang and Huiming, and said loudly:

"Master, can you come in and have a chat, I have some questions for the Master below. ”

Since they spoke, they naturally found their master and apprentice, and Sanzang had no choice but to walk out.

"Amitabha, I wonder what's wrong with the donor?"

Sanzang folded his hands and stood beside the stranger with a flat face.

"The Buddha said to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, but if I kill countless people, how can I put down the butcher's knife?"

The strange man stared at the Buddha statue and waited quietly for Sanzang to speak.

"Whether to let go or not, it's not the Buddha who has the final say, what the Buddha does is just listening, and it depends on the donor himself to let go, one thought is the Buddha, one thought is the devil. The Buddha and the demon are just in a thought, and they can't let go, and they are also in the donor's thought, just like at this moment, donor, didn't you put down the butcher's knife in your heart and talk to the poor monk with a Buddha's heart?"

Sanzo smiled at the weirdo.

The strange man no longer looked at the Buddha statue, but turned his head to look at Sanzang.

"If I let go, can I turn back?"

Sanzang continued to smile and said:

"The past is a foregone conclusion, even the gods and Buddhas can't change it, because it is already part of this world, and the future is already confused, and you and I don't know, so it's interesting. And the only thing that is certain is now, if I cry now, then tomorrow, today's crying is part of my memory, and it is also a part of the world, if I laugh, then after tomorrow, my memory will be laughing. ”

"To let go or not to let go, to turn back or not to look back, it all depends on the meaning of the donor, if you feel that you have turned back at this moment, then after tomorrow, the donor will turn back. If you feel that there is no turning back, then after tomorrow, the donor will still not look back. ”
