Text Chapter 334: Advice from a Zen Master

Everyone left Gao Laozhuang and continued to move forward, and after walking for another seven or eight days, they arrived at Futu Mountain, where Wuchao Zen Master lived in seclusion.

There is a lonely figure at the foot of the mountain, this person is the one who has broken through the eight precepts of Buddhahood, and he has been waiting here for a long time.

Now Bajie's head is shining, his face is full of smiles, and he can't see the slightest appearance of becoming a Buddha.

Xuanzang stepped forward and greeted: "Bajie, congratulations, I heard Wukong say that you have kept the promise of the white head of the year and become a Buddha by an epiphany?"

Bajie grinned and said, "Master, have you forgotten that the name of my layman, the old pig, is Zhu Congming." Isn't it just to become a Buddha, and it's not a big deal. In the words of Brother Monkey, becoming a Buddha does not become an ancestor, everything is dung. Disciple, my ambition is not just to become a Buddha, but to become a Buddha. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wujing and the others all showed a suspicious look.

The so-called Buddha is the power of the world realm. Looking at the entire Pangu world, there are gods and Buddhas in the sky, but how many people can really create a world?

Wukong smiled: "Bajie, they don't believe in you, but brother, I have always been very optimistic about you." Study hard, and you will definitely be able to achieve this dream in the future!"

Bajie said: "That's a must." As I've said a long time ago, reading makes people better. ”

Xuanzang hurriedly interrupted: "Hey, I said, let's not mention the book." You see, this is the territory of the Wuchao Zen Master, and we will visit this Zen Master again, and maybe we can find some valuable clues from his mouth. ”

Wukong said: "I heard the great sorrow and joy Taoist say that this Wuchao Zen master is the reincarnation of the ancient heart demon, which seems to be ordinary, but in fact, its mana is monstrous, no less than the Buddha. Hopefully, we can really find out some precious news from him. ”

Bajie exclaimed: "Oh, I can't imagine that Zen Master Wuchao is so good! At the beginning, he said that he would accept me as a disciple, why did I refuse? What a miscalculation, a miscalculation!"

Xuanzang said: "Okay, don't talk about it, go quickly, go quickly." ”

Let's go first.

Everyone climbed to the top of Futu Mountain, but saw a person standing under the cypress tree, who was the Wuchao Zen Master.

When the Zen master saw everyone, he beckoned, "Hey, who should I be, but it turns out to be a few of you." I said, didn't you go to the west to learn the scriptures, why did you get them from me again?"

Alas, these powerful people, obviously have calculated everything, but they like acting!

For this point, Wukong has long been accustomed to it, and he does not expose it, but only stepped forward and replied: "Old Zen master, our team has completed the task of learning scriptures, and now it is going west to send scriptures." ”

The Zen master looked at him and asked in surprise, "Oh, why is there an extra monkey?"

It's this trick again!

Wukong rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Xuanzang stepped forward and said, "Hello Zen master, the poor monk is polite. What I said just now is right, now we are going to the west to send scriptures, and we will visit the Zen master by the way. ”

The Zen master said: "Take the scriptures, send the scriptures, alas, I have long admonished you, the Buddha is not far away in the Lingshan, the Lingshan is only in your heart, but you don't listen, you must go to the west to learn the scriptures, now you are dumbfounded, right? Let me tell you, you are simply a circular task, and you will never be able to do it!"

Xuanzang frowned and said, "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, right?

The Zen master sneered: "It's just that some people have nothing to do, so they issue a task to entertain you, are you still serious?"

"Entertaining us?" seems to make sense. Xuanzang fell silent.

The Zen master took the opportunity to persuade: "If you can come to your senses, the old man will also be able to help you." ”

Xuanzang was puzzled: "Oh, how are you going to help us?"

The Zen master said, "If you are willing to stay in my Futu Mountain to practice, then you will not be able to help you." Aren't you just trying to attain positive results? Aren't you just wanting a high-level title in Buddhism? I can still give it to you. How?"

"This ......"

Xuanzang didn't know how to pick up this topic for a while.

He wanted to find out a little bit of news, but he didn't expect such a result, which was really unexpected.

Seeing that he hesitated, the Zen master continued to persuade him: "Why, do you think that I am not as good as Rulai? Let me tell you the truth, as long as you are under the door of this seat, no one will dare to provoke you." It's just a mere one, and I haven't paid attention to it yet. ”

Xuanzang hesitated and said: "But I am the second disciple of the Buddha, this betrayal of the master is a big taboo." ”

The Zen master said: "So what? He tricks you like that, why do you have to worry so much? Xuanzang, the most important thing in this world is strength, as long as you are strong enough, you are a bull breaker, no matter what you say, it is right." On the other hand, if you don't have the strength, everything others say is right, and no matter how good you do, it's useless. In vain, you have been smart all your life, and you haven't even understood such a simple truth?"

Xuanzang was speechless.

He was stunned for a long time, then turned around and asked, "Wukong, what do you say?"

Wukong smiled: "This Zen master is the reincarnation of an ancient demon, and he is the best at calculating people's hearts, I don't even believe half a sentence of what he said, hahahaha." ”

It seems that Wukong is not going to accept the advice of Zen Master Wuchao.

Xuanzang asked again: "Bajie, what about you?"

Bajie also smiled: "Old pig, I was born to run away, and after running for hundreds of years, I have long been addicted to running." Do you want me to stay on this mountain and meditate and meditate? How boring is that! I can't stand it, I can't stand it. ”

Bajie's reason is quite sufficient.

Xuanzang continued to ask: "What about Wujing, forget it, I don't ask you, Xiaolong is also exempt, anyway, the two of you are unassertive." What do you think?"

Dao Ji said: "Master, you are the captain, why do you come to ask me?"

Xuanzang said: "I want to hear your opinions." ”

Dao Ji said: "Well, although the second senior brother's character is not good, I think what he said this time is quite reasonable." Disciple I like to wander around, I think, it's better to run away. ”

Xuanzang said: "It seems that you don't want to stay, in fact, I don't want to stay." ”

The Zen master said: "They are all skinny, and it is normal that they are not willing to stay, but why are you unwilling?"

Xuanzang said: "Because I still have a question in my heart, I want to ask the Buddha face to face, if I don't ask a result, how can I be willing to rest?"

The Zen master said, "Since you are obsessed and like to ask for hardships, then I have nothing to say." You can ask for more blessings for yourselves, so that you can go, and you will not send them!"

With that, he ignored the crowd and jumped back to the nest in the tree.

Seeing that the Zen master was gone, Wukong sneered and said, "Hehe, they are all masters of acting, it's a pity not to take that little golden man!"
