Chapter 210: The monks outside the palace gate
"Master, the apprentice doesn't understand." Sun Wukong scratched his head, the master's speech is always like this, unfathomable.
"The teacher asks you, what is the understanding of the Buddhas in the Heart Sutra?"
"There is no self, no one, no beings, no longevity." Sun Wukong blurted out that since he followed Tang Sen, he can read when he has time, and he is no longer the monkey demon who can't read a single big word.
Tang Sen once told him that reading is not to be sure, but to be reasonable, and then, to better understand yourself and stick to yourself.
He thought it was true, if he had read the book at the beginning, he would not have been fooled so stupidly by Rulai.
Tang Sen nodded with satisfaction, "All Buddhas have no appearance, but all things can be appearances, and the sage said that this is the case if you don't stay in things." ”
He took a teacup from a table, "What is this?" ”
"Teacups."
"Yes, it's called a teacup, but is it just a teacup?"
Tang Sen poured the tea out, stretched out his hand, and the water aura in the air condensed into a clear spring and poured into the teacup.
"Now, is it still a teacup?"
"It's a water glass!" Sun Wukong had a flash of inspiration.
"That's right, what if I fill it with sand?" Townsend asked with a smile.
"It's a sand cup!" The ideas in Sun Wukong's mind are getting clearer and clearer.
"That's right, it's called a teacup, but it's actually just a container, and the tea is naturally a teacup, the water is a water cup, and the sand is a sand cup, and the teacup is actually not accurate."
"Master, I understand, you want to say that this is a cup, and what it is called depends on what it contains, teach me not to be confused by the name and be limited." Sun Wukong's face became more and more enlightened.
"Not quite." Tang Sen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and threw the teacup directly on the ground.
Sun Wukong was stunned, not knowing what Tang Sen was going to do.
Tang Sen picked up a piece of porcelain and brought it to Sun Wukong.
"What's this?"
"This, this ......" The idea of realizing a little just now became chaotic at this time.
It's not a teacup, not even a cup.
"It can be both a murderous weapon and a life-saving container." Tang Sen picked up the broken porcelain and scratched it across a rag, and the rag opened in response, and the flesh and blood were not much tougher than this rag.
"The teacher wants to tell you that a heavy identity, a mask, is both you and not you, just as this teacup is both a teacup and not a teacup, and the Tao says: "The name is famous, not very famous", and the Buddha said: "You can't say it", all of which are the same. ”
"Master, what's true?" Sun Wukong fell into deep confusion again, Buddha is not Buddha, Tao is not Tao, good is not good, evil is not evil, then, what is true!
"This, you have to ask yourself, it is true because of the nature of heaven, this is in your heart, you need to answer it yourself, and you can't answer it as a teacher." Tang Sen smiled slightly, let him think about it, it is his own if he has figured it out, no matter how much others say, it will be someone else's after all.
Looking at the thinking Sun Wukong, he didn't speak anymore and walked out of the room, thanks to the many empty rooms in the palace, all of them had one room for each person.
"Ask yourself? Who the hell am I? Sun Wukong stood in place, very rarely, he had insomnia.
……
The next day, before the Royal Palace
"Holy monk, is it true that you won't stay any longer? The small country and the widows are really not as rich as the people of the Heavenly Empire, and they are really sluggish. The king of the festival enthusiastically pulled Tang Sen and said, and quietly glanced at Sun Wukong on the side.
Seeing Sun Wukong's stunned appearance, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this ancestor didn't get angry, it seems that their performance last night was still excellent, and they didn't make this big guy mad.
To say that they dare to be unfriendly? There is such a big pit outside the palace, is that what ordinary people can do?
"The king is gracious, but the poor monk has the king's order and can't stay for a long time, so he can only thank the king for his kindness." Tang Sen, who was carrying the customs clearance papers, refused.
Now that the customs clearance documents are in hand, why do you keep them? Time is not rich in the first place.
"Since this is the case, then the little king will not keep the holy monk, the holy monk will have a smooth journey......" Before the polite words were finished, a palace guard eagerly ran into the palace and whispered a few words to the king.
"What? Daring! This group of monks is really lawless, what are they doing here? Do you want to rebel!! After hearing the rumor, the king of the festival was furious, and he didn't care to get angry directly in front of Tang Sen.
It's just that after getting angry, I realized that Townsend was still around.
"Didn't Wang Mo encounter some problems? Can the poor monk know? Tang Sen keenly grasped the word "monk" from his words, thinking that it should be related to the monks who were punished in this country.
"Look at what I'm doing, say, the holy monk asks you." The King of the Sacrifice glared at the soldier angrily and said.
He was really angry, and he finally wanted to send this group of people away, but as a result, this group of monks did something!
Looking at yesterday's movements, this group of people is either gods or monsters, as for what Tang Sen said about going to the west to learn scriptures, he doesn't care at all, where do you like to go, just don't be in your own city.
The king of the festival has a clear understanding of himself, whether it is a god or a demon, he can't afford to provoke it, and he doesn't want to mess with it.
To be involved with this group of people is to get into countless troubles, the key is that he has no capital to resist risks, he is just a mortal.
Therefore, I wanted to send Tang Sen's master and apprentice away directly early in the morning, but I didn't expect that it would be bad for this group of monks, which was really unlucky!
Although the little soldier despised the shirk of responsibility from his own king, he did not dare not answer.
"The holy monk doesn't know, we have always had a relic in the sacrificial country, enshrined at the top of the Jinguang Temple, but a few days ago this relic was gone, and it has been guarded by the monks of the Jinguang Temple, and it must have been stolen by one of their guards, but they ridiculously shifted the responsibility to the monsters, and the king punished them."
"But I don't know how the news of the arrival of the holy monk spread, and now all the monks of Jinguang Temple are kneeling outside the palace gate, blocking them, and they want the holy monk to be the master for them, we can't drive it away, so we have to enter the palace to ask for instructions, and ask the holy monk to instruct how to deal with it?" The little soldier said respectfully, this king's attitude towards Tang Sen, he has always paid attention.
Monks blocking the door? It's kind of interesting!
Townsen, who didn't want to be nosy, is now interested.
"Let's go, let's go out and have a look first."
"Hum", the heavy closed palace door slowly opened, and the first thing that caught my eye was the hundreds of monks who knelt on the ground.
All of them were gray-headed and tired, but they knelt on the ground with a determined expression, motionless.
The weather was still a little cold in the early morning, but the howling cold wind did not shake their will, and although their faces were pale and people were constantly falling, the whole field was strangely silent.
Outside, a large group of people gathered around to watch the excitement.
This hobby of eating melons and gossip seems to be the same everywhere.
The sound of the city gate opening attracted everyone's attention, and the monks who had originally closed their eyes also opened their eyes, and sure enough, behind the city gate, a tall figure took the lead, it was the holy monk they were looking forward to, Tang Sen.
"Holy monk, please prove our innocence." The action of hundreds of people kowtowing is really happening in front of their eyes, which is also very shocking.
At least Tang Sen was a little shocked now, because of the faith in the eyes of these monks in front of him, although they were tired, the faith in their eyes was pure.
"Amitabha, please get up quickly, if you have something, please say it, why bother." Just as Tang Sen spoke, dozens of more monks fell.
"Quick, let's see what's going on." Before Townsend could speak, the king behind him hurriedly spoke, but he couldn't make a mistake at this juncture.
"Back to the king, they are, faint from hunger." Immediately there were guards to check it out.
"Quick, bring water, and bring some food."
Seeing the guards in front of him coming and going, Tang Sen didn't pay attention to them, just looked at the few people in front of him who seemed to be the leader and asked.
"What the hell is going on?"
"This, holy monk, let us preside over it for you." Out of the crowd came an old monk with white eyebrows and white beard, although he was old, he had a good complexion, and his face was clear, obviously he had a little health preservation skills.
"Meet the holy monk, the little monk is the abbot of Jinguang Temple, but this matter has to start from the beginning, it was a dark and windy night in the month......"
Tang Sen's face darkened, who has time to listen to you from the beginning.
"Long story short."
"Okay, it's the relics in our temple that have been stolen."
It's short, but you didn't make it clear.
"Who stole it?" Townsend directly adopts the question-and-answer model, which is concise and efficient, eliminating any unnecessary nonsense.
"The monster in the blue wave pool."
"How do you know?"
"I've seen it in the past."
Stalking youkai? Tang Sen couldn't help but look at the old monk in front of him.
When it came to this point, Tang Sen also knew that this was done by the nine-headed insect in Bibo Pond, but tracking the nine-headed insect was not something ordinary people could do.
Scanned the old monk on the opposite side with the Yuan Shen, and sure enough, he was a cultivator, with a lot of Buddha power in his body, looking at the quantity, it should not be at the Arhat level, but it was not far behind, if it was converted to the general realm, it was the realm of Xuan Xian.
Naturally, it is not worth mentioning in Heavenly Court or Lingshan, but it is already good in the mortal world.
The red dust karma in the world is pervasive, the aura is scarce, and cultivation is even more difficult.
"Seeing that the host is also a person in practice, the Buddha is quite thick, I don't know ......"
"Let the holy monk smile." The host smiled wryly.
"The little monk is stupid and stupid, not as talented as the holy monk, but he has some Buddha fate, and with the help of this relic, he has exhausted the life of the two Jiazi, and he has this little skill."
Relics?
Tang Sen is a little interested in this relic, the relics can help people in Buddhism to cultivate, but Buddhism is the most important word "yuan", and the quality of this relics may not be low.
"And what do you mean?" Tang Sen looked at the monks in front of him and asked with a smile.
"Please ask the holy monk to get rid of the demons, return our innocence, and return the Buddha's innocence." The old abbot said sincerely.
"Please also ask the holy monk to return my innocence."
……
It turned out that what they cared about was the reputation of Buddhism and their innocence.
Some people died, but not completely......
