Text Chapter 328: Weakness
Lingshan.
Exquisite and picturesque, auspicious clouds, thousands of ruiqi.
However, the team came here not to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to complete the task.
Therefore, everyone didn't have the heart to pay attention to the boundless scenery on the mountain, so they just climbed the mountain with their heads bored, and soon came to the gate of the Great Lei Yin Temple.
Xuanzang straightened his clothes and said, "Apprentices, cheer up, let's see the Buddha." β
Wukong complained: "Don't you just see a Buddha, it's not like I haven't seen it before, so I'm so nervous." β
Bajie said: "Hey, hey, you see, Master is really a little nervous." β
Dao Ji said: "Alas, I think how majestic I was when Master and I were roaming the entire Western Heaven Elysium, and now he is being made by the Buddha and doesn't remember anything, it's really pitiful." β
As soon as his words fell, he heard a voice from inside the temple gate: "Is it the person who has taken the scriptures?"
Dao Ji secretly said that it was not good, and quickly shut up.
ββββββββ
After receiving the call of the Buddha, everyone rushed in.
Inside the main hall.
The Buddha said: "Xuanzang, you finally arrived in time." β
He used the word 'timely', which means that if you delay a little longer, the plan I planned will be ruined.
Xuanzang pretended not to understand, and replied: "Yes, there are always some accidents on the way west, disciple, I worked hard, and finally arrived." β
The meaning of this is obviously, I am serious about learning from the scriptures, but you always have to come up with some problems to embarrass me, and it is you who delay time, blame you.
The Buddha also pretended not to understand, and said: "Xuanzang, although the cultivation of our Buddhism does not need to cross the heavenly tribulation, it also has to go through a series of tribulations to achieve positive results. So you're going to have a hard time along the way, and that's right. Okay, the time is almost up, you can go to the Scripture Pavilion and choose the scriptures," Speaking of this, he said to Ah Tai and Jia Ye on the side, "Let the two of you take them to get the scriptures." β
The Buddha had no intention of punishing the scripture-taking team.
And it's very simple to talk about learning scriptures, which is quite refreshing!
Sure enough, everything was as Xuanzang expected!
Originally, everything was running according to plan, but Wukong interjected: "Buddha, have you forgotten something?"
The Buddha said, "Oh, what did I forget?"
Wukong reminded: "Salary, what about the salary you promised?"
This monkey is used to extortion along the way, and he has to say three points of truth if he ignores it. Now that the Buddha owes him a salary, of course he refuses to do so.
The Buddha smiled slightly and said, "Of course I remember the salary. But you haven't sent the scriptures to the East yet, why are you mentioning the salary now?"
Wukong said: "But we went all the way west, and we all paid out of our own pockets, and we didn't see a penny of salary." Do you know, I, the junior disciple of the Eight Precepts, are poor......"
When Bajie heard that it was going to be bad, he panicked and said: "Brother Monkey, you can't say that you are killed!"
The Buddha said, "Bajie, how poor are you?"
Bajie hurriedly denied it: "Who said that I am poor! I am a local tyrant! I have a lot of money!"
The Buddha said: "Ah Da, Jia Ye, the two of you will go to the treasury by the way to withdraw three million taels of gold and give them to Xuanzang to deal with." β
I didn't blame Wukong at all.
Dao Ji quietly gave Goku a thumbs up.
When it comes to robbing while the fire is on, this monkey really has a set!
ββββββββ
With the Buddha's instructions, Ah Ao and Jia Ye came to the Buddhist general library with a team of scriptures.
Ah Wei said: "Xuanzang, you have made a lot of fat this trip, unlike us internal staff, who are hungry to death." β
Gaye also said: "Yes, I have earned so much silver money in just over twenty years, and this money is too easy. β
Xuanzang listened to their words, and he was angry.
He thought to himself, "Oh, I've walked so far, shouldn't I make some money? You two don't have any effort, you just want to come and get a piece of the pie?"
So he pretended not to understand, and said with a smile: "This money is something outside the body, and I will have to give back to the society sooner or later." Now that this gold is placed with me, it is equivalent to temporary storage. β
In a word, I don't want to give them a penny!
Ah Ao and Jia Ye saw that Xuanzang didn't buy it, so they had to give the gold to the scripture learning team.
Wukong took out the guardian star and took a large pile of gold directly from the ground.
It seems that the Buddha was also in a hurry, and actually forgot to recycle this super treasure.
Then there's the Scripture Pavilion.
Seeing that the blackmail could not be achieved, Ah Ao and Jia Ye made a cautious eye and wanted to give a set of wordless scriptures to Wujing and Daoji, the two porters.
Traveling west to learn scriptures is actually a large-scale publicity and promotion activity carried by Buddhism, so this scripture can only be carried back with a burden, and you can't be lazy.
Wujing is honest and didn't find anything wrong, but Daoji has always been used to stealing chickens and touching dogs, and this pair of thieves is very poisonous, and he can see the problem at a glance.
He jumped up and scolded: "Ah Da, Jia Ye, you two bastards, you actually cheated and abducted the head of this Buddha!
Dao Ji was originally the reincarnation of the Dragon Venerable, a person who became a Buddha, and he also mixed the title of Jigong Living Buddha in the mortal world, so it is logical to call himself a 'Buddha'.
Ah Ao and Gaye felt bad when they heard it.
They didn't expect that this Daoji had not repented at all after being exiled by the Buddha, and he still had the same playful temperament as before.
And once this guy launches a surge, even the Buddha will dare to provoke!
Thinking of this, Ah Wei said: "Hey, I said Ji, it's wrong for you to do this." We are all a system, if we have something to say, why do we have to make a fuss, this is for outsiders to know, don't you look at the jokes of our Buddhism?"
Jia Ye also said: "That's it, just now Ah Ye and I looked away for a while, picked the wrong scriptures, and made a big fuss, why are you so excited?"
Dao Ji glared at him and said, "Big, tell me, what are our masters and apprentices working hard, running up and down, tired and tired?"
Gaye said: "In order to learn the scriptures." β
Dao Ji said: "Do you know that it is for the sake of learning scriptures?!This task was arranged by the Buddha and his old man, and you actually said that it was a big deal?"
Gaya knew that he was at a loss, so he had no choice but to relent: "All this is a misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! It's a big deal that we should compensate you." β
Wukong had been watching the excitement from the side, and now he saw that Ah and Ao were soft, so he smiled and said, "Doesn't this compensation have to be a little sincere, right?"
Oops.
Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail, but I didn't think about it, but I was blackmailed.
The two of them glanced at each other, and saw that each other was helpless, so they had to pay out of their pockets to show their sincerity.
Ah Ao took out a night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg, and Gaye took out a pair of white rhinoceros horns, and this matter was smoothed out.
Finally, after checking the scriptures, everyone went to the Buddha again to see what the Buddha had to say.
The Buddha said directly: "Now that the scriptures have arrived, you should go back to the Eastern Tang Dynasty." I have already arranged for the Eight Great Vajra to escort you, so let's go. β
When everyone heard this, their hearts were secretly happy.
It seems that Dao Ji did not miscalculate.
For the safety of this scripture, the Buddha actually arranged bodyguards.
Sure enoughβ
Sure enough, the longevity of King Tang is the weakness of the Buddha and his old man!
ββββββββ
Now that the scriptures are in hand, they bid farewell to the Buddha and go to the Tang Dynasty in the east.
This time it was not on foot, but in a straight line in the sky, so it quickly flew over the Tongtian River.
An old turtle poked its head out of the river, and he looked at the figure flying in the sky, and couldn't help but complain loudly: "Why have you forgotten what you promised me!
