Listening to the question of the abbot of the good guide, Sanzang hesitated: "How can people in Buddhism not know about the Buddha?" ”

Shandao shook his head lightly: "I really haven't heard of the Buddha. I've heard of a Buddha who came to the Buddha. ”

"Rulai...... Buddha? Sanzang was shocked.

"Yes, he is the liaison between the Heavenly Court and the Buddha Gate." Good Mentor explains.

This is a bit subverted Sanzang's worldview, and he pondered for a long time: "Which Buddha does your temple worship?" ”

Shandao was also surprised, if it weren't for Sanzang's profound authentic Buddhism, he would have thought that Sanzang was a demon monk, Shandao frowned:

"We first offered to Zhun Ti, to the two saints, and then to Meyuriya. Also known as Ayta Mahasattva! ”

Seeing Sanzang's puzzled face, Shandao continued to explain: "Mei Julia is a Tianzhu language, if you use the words of Dongtu, you should be called Donglai Buddha!" ”

Sanzang has never heard of Zhun Ti and Yin, let alone heard of any Buddha from the East, and implored the abbot to lead him to the Buddha hall for a look.

Shandao nodded, got up and asked Sanzang to move.

After a while, the group came to the Buddha hall.

Sanzang pious kowtow, push the door and enter, what catches the eye is the standing statue of Zhun Ti and the lead.

On his side, there is a Buddha he is very familiar with, Maitreya Buddha!

Sanzang breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately there was someone he knew: "Old abbot, this Buddha is known in the Tang Dynasty as 'Maitreya Buddha in the next life', and is the successor of the world-honored Shakyamuni Buddha. ”

"Future Buddha?" The good guide wondered, "What we know is different from what you say!"

1,600 years ago, Zhun Tihe led two saints to the east to participate in the battle of Zhuxian, brought back many strong men and mounts, and appointed the Buddha to manage the Buddha Gate.

Later, the saints went to the last Zixiao Palace, and the master of the Three Realms became the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor sent the Buddha from the east to the west to take charge of all affairs.

How did you become a future Buddha in your mouth? Odd! Could it be that Dongtu and our Xiniu Hezhou believe in not the same Buddhism? ”

"This ......" Sanzang also hesitated.

The daughter of the king, who had been listening quietly, did not speak until this time:

"The old abbot didn't know, Maitreya Buddha has been in Xiniu Hezhou, has not been to the East soil, so the people of the Tang Dynasty do not know that the Buddha Maitreya is also the Buddha, at the same time, the Jade Emperor 500 years ago enshrined the Buddha as the Buddha, so the people of the East only know the Buddha!"

Shandao couldn't help but shake his head: "Unbelievable. Since the holy monk went to the West Heaven Leiyin Temple to seek scriptures, if he can verify the truth and cause and effect, he will definitely come back to solve my doubts! ”

Sanzang folded his hands and agreed.

A few days later, the daughter king summoned Bajie and Wujing, and the four of them discussed the Dharma with the monks of Fowei Temple, confirming each other's Buddhist principles.

After a few days, Bajie clarified part of the situation: "Queen, the Jade Emperor did appoint a Buddha to be in charge of the Western Earth Buddhism, but it was not recognized by the Buddhism at that time. This Buddha Wei Temple may have been built privately by Maitreya himself. ”

"Not recognized?"

"Yes. Buddhism has saints who will not obey the holy decree of the Jade Emperor in vain. But the Jade Emperor's will has been made and will not be changed easily, and Maitreya naturally cannot do nothing...... So he rebuilt the Buddha Sect himself......"

"That 300 years ago, after the chaos of Leiyin Temple, his position was stable, and he had no choice but to run away to establish his own Xiaoxitian, build a small Leiyin Temple, and be his own Buddha?" Wujing asked.

Bajie became interested: "In this way, Rulai is not the first agent of the Jade Emperor, Maitreya is, but Maitreya is not capable enough to accept Buddhism, so there is a matter of enshrinement of the Buddha later?" ”

"These are all our speculations, and with the information we have so far, we can't see the truth at all. However, I believe it will be found out later. The daughter of the king whispered.

……

Another three days passed.

Sanzang felt that he had been delayed here for too long, so he went to the abbot to resign.

Although the abbot still had many questions to ask and demonstrate, he was also concerned about the affairs of the Buddha, so he took the monks of the whole temple to see him off respectfully.

……

Sanzang and the four people left the monks and continued on the road, and unconsciously walked for a month and saw a high mountain. There is a stone tablet at the foot of the mountain, and the three characters of White Fox Ridge are written on it.

Sanzang said: "It's finally here." ”

The daughter king knew what he meant, and said, "Brother Yu, just do what you want, and I will be gone for three months." ”

"Hey......" Sanzang sighed, "The road ahead is surrounded by ravines and bays, the road is full of thorns, and the grass is withered, I really don't know how Guanyin chose such a place." ”

The group moved forward without words, and after two days, they saw that they were about to walk out of the White Fox Ridge, but they didn't see the corpse demon in Guanyin's script.

"Could it be that this corpse demon really has to change on our own?" The daughter king muttered to herself, and she turned to Sanzang and said, "Master, I'll go and ask Lady Bai Gu to come back and help us finish this scene." ”

Sanzang nodded.

The daughter of the king jumped away, and in a short time brought back the Lady of the White Bones and placed her in the front road.

"Queen, I'm afraid of this wilderness."

"You are all earth immortals, it should be the wolves, insects, tigers and leopards here who are afraid of you! When I met with my brother and sister, I was not allowed to make tea, did you hear that? ”

"But, how can you talk without tea...... I'm used to it. ”

The daughter king was speechless: "Read it according to the script." ”

After that, she rushed back to Sanzang's side, quietly replaced Wujing and the others, and prepared to start the show.

The four of them quickly entered the state, the daughter king opened the way, Bajie carried the burden, Wujing led the horse, and was walking to a saga place, Sanzang looked at the script in his hand, and said: "Wukong, I am hungry this day, where do you go to fast?" ”

The daughter king laughed and said dryly: "Master is not smart. In the middle of the mountain, there is no village in front of you, there is no store in the back, and there is no place to buy if you have money, where to find fast? ”

Sanzang looked at the script again, pretended to be unhappy, and scolded: "You monkey! I want you to be pressed in the stone box in the Two Realms Mountain, you can speak, but you can't do it, and I am also indebted to me to save your life, and you have been ordained and become my apprentice. Why don't you work hard, and always have a lazy heart! ”

The daughter king pursed his lips and said, "The disciple is also quite diligent, why is he lazy?" ”

Sanzang said: "Since you are diligent, why don't you fasting and let me eat?" What can I do if I'm hungry? Besides, the miasma of the mountains here, how can you get thunder? ”

The daughter king said: "Master is not to blame, don't talk much." I know that I have neglected you, so I will recite the mantra. Dismount and sit still, and wait for me to break my fast. ”

The daughter, the king, jumped into the clouds, put her hand on the awning, and opened her eyes to watch: "Master, there is something to eat." ”

Sanzang asked something, and his daughter said: "There is no one here to cook, there is a red one in Nanshan, it must be a ripe mountain peach, I will pick a few, you are hungry." ”

Sanzang said happily: "If the monks have peaches to eat, they will be divided, go quickly!" ”

The daughter king pretended to take a bowl and bowl, and ran to Nanshan to pick peaches.

Liuding Liujia, who was on duty in the sky, could hear the conversation below and looked at each other: "What's wrong with this golden cicada and Sun Monkey, they are talking in a crepe?" ”

"That's right, it's like singing, awkward!"
