I have to say.

Because of the image of the great god of Pangu, all the clans of the Three Realms will regard transformation as a necessary goal on the path of cultivation.

And among the Three Realms, the only race that doesn't need to transform is people.

It can be described as unique.

The human race seems to have a short lifespan and a large number of laypeople, but those who are truly gifted can give full play to the absolute advantages of this "innate Dao body" on the path of cultivation, and often more than ten years of Taoism are worth hundreds of years of cultivation in the Three Realms.

And those kings and civil officials in ancient times were even more unreasonable. Forcibly suppressed the leaders of the various clans who had cultivated for 10,000 years, and made the human race stand in the Three Realms.

This is also one of the reasons why the Heavenly Dao confined the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in the Fire Cloud Cave, who knows how exaggerated their cultivation will be in the past thousands of years?

If it is said that their cultivation will stagnate because of this, anyone with some insight will not believe it, not to mention that the Fire Cloud Cave has gathered the heroes of the human race for generations, with the self-improvement habits engraved in the bones of these people. I'm afraid that I have secretly studied how to break the shackles of the Fire Cloud Cave so that I can return to the Three Realms.

Previously, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and Dayu appeared successively, and in the eyes of the great powers of the Three Realms, it was a sign.

The old turtle in front of him wants to cultivate a human body, Fahai can see the yearning and urgency in his eyes, but the power of the old turtle's own bloodline is strong, even if he is in the position of the water god Hebo at this time, it will be difficult to fade the turtle shell behind him.

Moreover, after hearing what the little white dragon said, Fahai thought about it carefully, and it seemed that except for the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, he really hadn't heard of any other turtle clan in the Three Realms that had faded the turtle shell and truly cultivated into a human body.

And the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, what kind of realm has it been to be transformed?

This may be the longest longevity given by God to the turtle clan, but it is also the most difficult for them to transform on the way.

Maybe the old turtle reacted when he said it, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly, with a very melancholy expression: "What can I do, what can I do if I can't help it?" ”

Xiao Bailong comforted on the side: "Since you can't force it, it's better to go with the flow like you and a spirit turtle clan, even if you don't practice, you can have thousands of years of longevity, put it in the four seas, you are only a turtle clan who have practiced for more than a thousand years, I'm afraid they are still young juniors, but they don't have to sigh for a long time." ”

"Thank you for your enlightenment." The old turtle saluted the little white dragon and said, "I can save it." ”

He doesn't call himself old anymore.

The Great Sage was not as polite as the little white dragon, and said bluntly to the old turtle: "My grandson is also more than a thousand years old, and he has never regarded himself as a twilight old man, like you, who is not old and has a heart first, how can he achieve positive results?" ”

The old turtle suddenly looked terrified, and hurriedly bowed to the Great Sage a few times, "The Great Sage mentioned it." ”

That being said, it's actually hard to say whether this old turtle still has the heart. The master and apprentice can also see that with his level, if there is no other opportunity, I am afraid that it is really impossible to cultivate a human body.

But they wouldn't say this to their faces, and it hit the old turtle's already not enough self-confidence, Fahai and Wujing also comforted him one after another, and the matter came to an end temporarily.

Master Sanzang rarely stopped in Chenjiazhuang, everyone is an old acquaintance, Chen Guanbao, who has grown up, and a scale of gold bowed to the Great Sage and Bajie again, and the Great Sage and Bajie simply took one by one, and took their sister and brother under the door.

Originally, Brother Chen Qing said that they would simply let the two of them become monks, but the great sage refused: "You don't know anything about the owner, if you are a monk, won't your family cut off the incense?" I have to lose the merit of my grandson. Such immoral things should not be mentioned again. ”

The Great Sage and the Eight Precepts only taught them some cultivation methods and the ability to protect Zhuangzi.

After all, there are a lot of demons in Xizhou, although their master and apprentice have cleared a wave along the way, but it is difficult to remove the flow of demons, just like weeds on the outskirts of the mountains, wildfires are inexhaustible, and spring breezes blow and regenerate.

At present, there is such a seemingly stable and peaceful window period, and that is because the residual power of their master and apprentice is still there, and the monsters know that they are powerful, so they dare not come over for the time being.

But when this period passes, I'm afraid it won't take long, it will only take twenty or thirty years, and if you don't care to maintain the status quo, I'm afraid that sooner or later the goblins will flood this countryside and mountains again.

You can't pin your hopes on these new goblins not daring to hurt people, you still need to master some power that can deal with these crises.

Even if the youkai don't come, it's great to be able to guard against mountain thieves.

Previously, the people of Chenjiazhuang had asked Master Sanzang about the story of their master and apprentice, and this time they naturally wanted to ask them what kind of adventures they had since they crossed the Tongtian River.

This matter has to be told by Xiao Bailong, he seems to have a lot of talent in this area, the bright moon and breeze of the Wuzhuang view of Wanshou Mountain, and he still wants to know the follow-up of stories such as "Guanyin Courtyard Fire", "Black Wind Cave Demon Descending", "Ten Thousand Caves Mountain in Distress" and "Gao Laozhuang" and "Quicksand River".

It was also the little white dragon who played with his heart back then, and the story was always half told to stir up the wind and the moon to be unstable, and secretly went down the mountain three times and twice, and went east to find the passing traces of their master and apprentice.

Now it is obvious that the little white dragon is much calmer, and if he does those unreliable things again, it will damage his reputation as a white dragon bodhisattva.

The little white dragon didn't talk for long, picked a few interesting places, as well as what he saw and heard on the Spirit Mountain, and told everyone about it, so he stopped there.

However, Wujing, after thinking about it, left a volume of "The Biography of Sanzang Westward Journey" in Chenjiazhuang, and said with a smile: "This is some interesting things that my master and apprentice encountered all the way west, but they can stay in the village." ”

Fahai has no opinion on this.

He has also read this little biography, and the records are mostly anecdotes from all over the world, but it does not include any powerful demons as miscellaneous books, which can also relieve boredom.

However, the people of Chenjiazhuang are still very grateful, and Chen Qing took the scroll very solemnly, and respectfully expressed his attitude to the master and apprentice: "In addition to rebuilding the Inspiration Dawang Temple into a Bodhisattva Temple, we also built a courtyard in Zhuangzi, called the Rescue Temple, dedicated to serving the master and several elders with incense. This book should also be enshrined in the temple. ”

"It doesn't have to be that way."

The master and apprentice couldn't laugh or cry when they heard this, but several attempts of persuasion were ineffective, and they finally gave up.

Chen Qing invited Mr. Zhuang Middle School and asked Mr. to copy a copy

Mr. copied the book, Chen Qing invited the master and apprentice to go to the life-saving temple, but the temple is dedicated to their master and apprentice incense, so there is no need to burn, and the Buddha does not need to worship, just look at it.

But he said that this temple was really built with heart-

Vermilion partition door, seven treasures exquisite. A few young cypress trees are still watered, and several dry trees and pines are not clustered.

The site selection is also a place of transcendence in feng shui: the living water meets the front, and the waves are repeated in the sky; Leaning back on the high cliffs, the mountains are heavily grounded.

Fahai opened the altar in the temple, preached a volume of the "Bao Chang Jing", and left the scriptures.

Chenjiazhuang everyone bowed again.

This is this Chenjiazhuang and Sanzang master and apprentice, the lord of the sacrificial country, not even able to meet the Sanzang master. The gap is stark.

Everyone looked at the five statues, vivid, almost ordinary, and inquired, only to know that it was a master craftsman invited from the national capital.

Chen Qing said with a smile: "The Holy Buddha doesn't know, since the establishment of this temple, it has matured every year, and it has been abundant every year, but it is the blessing of the Holy Buddha. ”

"That's a bias." Fahai shook his head, "This is the right time for heaven, and it has nothing to do with the poor monks, how can you be greedy for merit?" ”

The old turtle said on the side: "The holy monk's words are wrong, if it weren't for the holy monk and apprentice to surrender to the inspiration king, the little god would not be able to regain control of the water mansion and the heavenly court gave me the right to let the water and river god have a little precipitation, so there is a smooth wind and rain here. How is this not the work of the holy monks? ”

The Great Sage smiled when he heard this: "Even so, I have to bother you, the god of water in the Tongtian River, to protect this village, the descendants will reproduce, the six animals will live in peace, and the wind and rain will be smooth every year, and the rain will be smooth every year." ”

"It's nature." The old turtle immediately said: "This is the responsibility of the little god!" ”

After staying in Chenjiazhuang for a few days, after the Great Sage and the Eight Rings got Chen Guanbao and a scale of gold to get started, the master and apprentice took their leave.

Of course, during this period, Fahai also pointed out the old turtle's cultivation method, but it also made the old turtle grateful for a while.

When he arrived at the capital of Chechi Kingdom, the original lazy king, after the three national teachers and Mr. Ziyu left one after another, and the old lady died of illness, he only had to go into battle in person, and he became a diligent monarch "as a last resort".

Fortunately, he is not a faint king, but also the queen is virtuous, and the three families of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are parallel in the Chechi country, plus Chechi, Wuji and Baoxiang are allied with the three kingdoms, and they intersect with the Tang Dynasty

Today's Che Chi Guo is no longer the scene of the past.

"Holy Monk!"

Now everyone knows that Venerable Sanzang does not like to be called "Holy Buddha" by others, so he still reverts to his old name, or calls Venerable Sanzang "Holy Monk" or "Master".

It should be said that the lord of Che Chi is also a maverick, and he did not entertain Master Sanzang in the royal garden of the palace, but invited Master Sanzang and his entourage to meet in the Sanqing Temple.

After everyone entered the view, they realized that there were two other temples being built around the original three Qing Temples, one was a Buddhist temple, and the other was a Confucian hall.

"Back then, the widow said that he would just change these three Qingguan directly." The lord of Che Chi is also very bold, and told the Sanzang master and apprentice about what he almost did back then, "The statue of Taiqing Laojun in the middle is kept, and the two statues of Yuan Shi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun on the left and right are removed, or directly rebuilt into statues of Shakyamuni Buddha and the Master."

Having said that, the expressions of the five masters and apprentices were already very exciting. I have to say that I really have to admire the bold imagination of this lord of the country.

"Then who made the lord of the country dispel this idea?" Bajie asked curiously.

The lord replied, "Naturally, it is Mr. Ziyu. ”

Everyone felt that it was not strange.

"Hmm" Che Chi Guo said again: "The Buddhist temple is still under construction, and the Buddha statue has not yet been erected. I heard that Master Sanzang is respected as the Buddha's 'omniscient', so why don't I stand in the Daxiong Hall of the Buddhist Temple here, how about setting up Master Sanzang? ”

Five masters and apprentices:.

In fact, compared to the Buddha who is far away in Lingshan and sits high in the Great Leiyin Temple. For the lord of Che Chi Kingdom, it is really better to worship Master Sanzang.

After all, those monks who were in turmoil back then, didn't they worship the "Buddha"?

In the end, it was Master Sanzang who personally "judged" their crimes.

They all worship the Buddha, and since Master Sanzang was respected as the "true omniscience" of Buddhism, it means that he is already a "Buddha", and in terms of legal theory, he should be on the same status as Nyolai.

Seeing that Master Sanzang did not speak, the lord of Che Chi State hurriedly explained: "Holy monk, it is like this, whether it is Buddha, Taoism or Confucianism, in fact, they all have their own inheritance, and there are many sects in it. Can the Buddha of Lingshan be replaced by the Holy Buddha? ”

This thing. It's hard to say.

Fahai thought for a while and said, "I don't set up a Buddha statue in the Sect of Consciousness. ”

"Huh?" The lord of Che Chi was stunned, a little unclear.

"The Buddha is not meant to be worshipped, it is a benchmark to lead the way for all beings in the world." Speaking of this, Fahai's expression seemed to be a little helpless: "But all beings in the world are ignorant, and their eyes are all attracted by the light on the Buddha's body, but they ignore those places that are illuminated by the Buddha's light." ”

Fahai did not refuse the matter of dividing the Wisdom Sect under the Chechi Kingdom, and if he wanted to make the inheritance of the Wisdom Sect in this world continue to extinct it, in addition to taking care of himself, spreading the Dharma is naturally also the top priority.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of the solid mass foundation he had laid on the way west?

Their master and apprentice did not stay in the Chechi country for a long time, the lord of this country seems to be "out of tune", in fact, he knows very well what he should do, both Buddhism and Taoism are held high by him, and Confucianism is his real weapon to govern the country.

The most surprising thing for their masters and apprentices is that this lord of the country is actually very assertive, although he is Confucian, but he does not take the law lightly.

While building rituals and religions, the legal system has also not fallen behind, and the two can be said to go hand in hand.

In fact, it can be seen back then that this lord of the country does not seem to care about national politics, but in fact, he has a clear heart. Therefore, this start, the Taoist decree can hit the nail on the head, and those ministers who underestimate him may have suffered a lot. ”

Wujing pondered for a moment, and followed the master's words and said: "It's quite like the king of Chuzhuang in the Spring and Autumn Period, and if you don't make a sound, you will already be a blockbuster." ”

"But I don't know where the three national teachers went to find teachers." Compared to the lord of this country, the great sage still misses the three national teachers here, especially the maverick Yang Li Daxian, he has a bit of an axis in his brain, if it weren't for the two brothers to take care of him. I'm afraid I'm going to cause some trouble.

And the Great Sage naturally didn't know that the most worrying Yangli Daxian was appreciated by the Holy Mother of Wudang on Jinao Island. The Holy Mother of Wudang still intended to transfer him to the door from the crazy immortal Ma Sui, but unfortunately he was rejected by Yang Li Daxian without hesitation, and said: "One day as a teacher and a father for life, even if you are my uncle, you can't let me do such a thing as betraying my master, otherwise, I would rather die headlong." ”

Then, he was going to die with his head in the Biyou Palace.

Fortunately, Our Lady of Wudang stopped him in time and promised him that he would never mention the matter of letting him abandon his teacher and join him again.

However, from then on, Yang Li Daxian did not have a good face when he saw the Holy Mother of Wudang, and even took a detour.

This made Ma Sui very helpless, but the Holy Mother of Wudang favored him even more. didn't care about Yangli Daxian's rude collision at all, and even taught his kendo practice to Ma Sui, so that Ma Sui could teach it to Yangli Daxian again.

In this regard, Ma Sui can only say that this kid is really a fool and a fool.
