Chapter 908: Who's Who's Who's Hard?
Hearing Chen Xuanzang's doubts, the voice chuckled lightly and said leisurely: "If you want to know the truth, go to the West Tianling Mountain." ”
"Remember, this trip is for the purpose of cultivation, don't rush for quick success, wait for the true scriptures, and achieve positive results, I will show up to meet you."
“…… Ha? ”
Chen Xuanzang or Nie Changchuan looked surprised, and hurriedly continued to ask a few questions, but he couldn't get a response at all, as if the other party was just urging him to go west to learn the scriptures, and then quietly left after speaking.
Nie Changchuan jumped up, crashed through the ceiling of the inn, and flew over Chang'an.
Then his eyes burst into cash, and he swept through the nine heavens and ten earths with the eyes of heaven.
But unfortunately, no matter how much he tried, he couldn't find any trace of Fang Cai's voice.
“…… Pretending to be a ghost, this guy can't be the Buddha, right? ”
Nie Changchuan frowned tightly and muttered a few words in a low voice.
Then, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the western sky in contemplation for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh faintly.
If this voice is really the Buddha, it means that the strength of the Buddha is much stronger than him, coupled with the grace of conferring merit when he was a child, and the kindness of protecting his mother, he must have gone to this western day.
If this voice is not the Buddha, but another great supernatural person, the other party has already said that he will be waiting for him in Lingshan, and it is reasonable that he will also go to the West Heaven to explore the truth and answer his doubts.
…… It seems that this trip to the west can't be avoided!
Nie Changchuan was suspended in the air, sighed, and couldn't help but feel depressed.
Just then, a startled voice suddenly came from the street below.
"Xuan...... Master Xuanzang? ”
Nie Changchuan raised his eyebrows, looked down, and saw that on the street, Wei Zheng was holding the holy decree in his hand, standing on the side of the street with a team of honor guards and forbidden troops, looking up at the sky blankly, silent.
Seeing this scene, Nie Changchuan hurriedly collected the golden light in his eyes and fell to the ground.
After receiving the holy decree, Nie Changchuan folded his hands, and his treasure was solemn, and he sent Wei Zheng and the others away.
Wei Zheng's expression was complicated, he wanted to speak and stopped, and he stopped and wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything, and left the inn with a stomach full of shock and doubt.
The next day, Li Er led the Tang Dynasty Wenwu to the altar and announced his will in public.
Nie Changchuan wore a robe and stepped forward to receive orders, and then with the help of Wei Zheng and others, 1,200 people were selected from thousands of monks and assigned to three halls, each performing its own duties, and reciting Buddhist scriptures together.
But today is just a rehearsal before the conference.
The real land and water conference should be held on another auspicious day.
Time passed quickly, and soon, it was the auspicious day planned by the monks.
Nie Changchuan presided over the meeting as the altar master, and Li Er, the court and the central government, as well as the relatives of the emperor, all went to the meeting on time, and worshiped the golden body of the Buddha in the Huasheng Temple, and went to the altar to make incense and listen to the lecture.
Nie Changchuan gathered the crowd to ascend the altar, recited for a while the "Sutra of Life and Death", and recited the "Anbang Tianbao Seal" for a while.
Both of these are Hinayana sutras, and they are also the scriptures that the monks discussed before the conference.
Although this scripture can help the dead ascend to heaven, it is not powerful enough after all, and it is still somewhat dwarfed in front of the water and land conference of this standard, as well as those stubborn ghosts in the city of vain.
At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva had returned from Lingshan and took Muzha to listen to the lecture incognito under the altar.
Seeing that Nie Changchuan was reciting some Hinayana Buddhist scriptures, Guanyin Bodhisattva knew that the time had come, and was about to appear to preach Mahayana Buddhist scriptures and use Buddhism to convince Nie Changchuan and the Tang Emperor.
At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva was suddenly shocked to find that Nie Changchuan had quietly gone out of his body, escaped into the underworld in the sound of Buddha, and flew straight to the sky above the city of vain death.
In an instant, the primordial spirit in Nie Changchuan's underworld burst out with incomparably brilliant golden light.
The blazing divine light of the sun illuminated the Yin Division of the Underworld as if it were day, countless unjust souls and dead ghosts screamed and wailed, and black smoke emerged from their bodies.
For a time, thousands of ghosts howled in the dead city, and the ghosts and gods in the Senluo Hall were frightened.
Seeing this scene, Nie Changchuan had a satisfied smile on his face.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was dumbfounded, and then silently put down his raised right leg, and looked at the great monk on the altar with a sad face.
…… This version of the scripture learner is too capable, she really can't find a suitable opportunity to play!
In this way, the forty-nine days of land and water conference soon came to an end.
Guanyin Bodhisattva watched the whole process, and his heart became more and more anxious.
The land and water conference was almost over, but she still didn't find a suitable opportunity to play.
If this continues, Buddhism's plan to travel west will inevitably be postponed, and her previous layout in the Five Elements Mountain, Gaolaozhuang, and Liusha River will also disappear because of this.
…… What to do?
Guanyin Bodhisattva's brows were tightly locked, and his heart was thinking quickly.
At this moment, Nie Changchuan on the high altar glanced at her, sighed slightly in his heart, and then said: "Your Majesty, the poor monk has been presiding over the water and land conference recently, and the effect is very good, but this is not the work of the poor monk, but on the eve of the conference, the work of Guanyin Bodhisattva is also enlightened!" ”
"Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
Li Er's face was stunned, and he couldn't help but say, "What Master Da Xie said is true? ”
Nie Changchuan folded his hands, chanted the Buddha's name, and then looked downward.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was slightly stunned, and immediately understood, flew up to the high platform with Muzha, and then stepped on the auspicious clouds, until the nine clouds, holding the net bottle of willows, showing the true body of saving suffering.
Everyone present was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed to the sky, calling the Venerable.
Guanyin Bodhisattva took the opportunity to preach Mahayana Buddhism and set up a journey to the west to learn scriptures in front of the Tang Emperor.
The plot after that is not much different from the original book, Nie Changchuan is very cooperative, and almost took the initiative to take over the westward journey, and became the Tang Dynasty scripture learner handpicked by Li Er.
After a few more days, Nie Changchuan, who had been given the name Tang Sanzang by the Tang Emperor, finally embarked on the road of learning scriptures.
But unlike in the original book, Nie Changchuan refused the servants and guards given by Li Er, and chose to go alone.
Before leaving, he went home, met his father and mother, and accompanied a pair of dragon and phoenix siblings born to his parents a few years ago to have fun for one night, and then finally put on his robe, took a tin staff, and left Chang'an City.
After walking outside Chang'an City, Nie Changchuan paused, glanced at the clouds in the sky and said, "Since the Bodhisattva is here, why don't you show up to see you?" ”
When the words fell, the glow of the sky appeared, and Guanyin Bodhisattva rode the auspicious clouds and fell in front of Nie Changchuan, looking at him with a somewhat complicated expression.
"Master Sanzang is willing to take on the important task of traveling west, and the poor monk is very pleased, but I don't know, who changed the mind of the master?"
"This is not a matter of worrying about the Bodhisattva." Nie Changchuan said lightly, "The poor monk just wants to know, if the poor monk is not sincere in his heart and travels to the West Tianling Mountain, can there be Mahayana scriptures handed down?" ”
Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned, but still said, "Amitabha, that's nature. ”
"That's fine."
Nie Changchuan nodded and took another step.
Although Guanyin Bodhisattva was full of doubts, he also knew that this westward trip had to be Nie Changchuan.
She sighed lightly, and just wanted to leave in the clouds, observing with her, when she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped him and said, "So that Master Sanzang knows that on the road ahead, there are three big demons, all of whom have supernatural powers." ”
"Before the poor monk came to Chang'an, he turned it into a little bit with Buddhism, if the Sanzang Master met him on the way, he must not be killed, he might as well be accepted as an apprentice, and he would like to be called to protect your person...... Luggage security. ”
“……”
Nie Changchuan glanced at Guanyin Bodhisattva with a strange expression, and then nodded and said, "Thank you Bodhisattva for telling me, the poor monk can save it!" ”
The words fell, and Guanyin Bodhisattva flew to the clouds, and his figure gradually dissipated.
But Nie Changchuan knew that the other party did not leave, but just snooped in the shadows.
Considering that Guanyin Bodhisattva might be worried that he would attack too hard and kill Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, Nie Changchuan ignored it and strode forward, letting Guanyin Bodhisattva secretly observe.
In just one day, Nie Changchuan traveled all the way from Chang'an to Hezhouwei.
This place is the boundary of the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty, and Nie Changchuan's footsteps are too fast, and he will arrive in one day, which makes the general soldiers on the edge of the town suspicious, and they dare not rashly recognize the identity of this royal brother mage.
However, the monks of the local Fuyuan Temple had seen Nie Changchuan at the water and land conference, and immediately respectfully invited him into the temple to make an offering of tea and soup.
On the second day, the general soldiers on the edge of the town hurriedly stepped up and finally confirmed Nie Changchuan's identity from Gongzhou City.
He was shocked, and hurriedly took people to Fuyuan Temple, but learned that Nie Changchuan had left as early as the fourth watch, and with the foot strength of Master Sanzang to arrive at the border of the Tang Dynasty in one day, it should be dozens of miles away at this time.
After getting this news, the general soldiers on the edge of the town regretted it, but they could only accept the reality.
At the same time, dozens of miles outside the city, there was a rugged mountain range.
The mountains are densely wooded and overgrown with weeds, and there are no people or roads.
Nie Changchuan originally planned to jump directly over the mountain, but thinking that Guanyin Bodhisattva was still watching, he gave Guanyin some face, raised his palm and slapped a golden heavenly dragon, clearing a spacious mountain road on the mountain that could be used for five horses in parallel.
Seeing Nie Changchuan hanging his arm and holding a Zen staff, Shi Shiran walked on the mountain road, Guanyin Bodhisattva on the horizon couldn't help sighing, and turned his head to look at several Dharma Protectors and Heavenly Court Immortal Gods around him:
"That's the way it is, you see that, right?"
“……”
The Dharma Protectors looked at each other.
Tai Bai Xing looked at the demons who were passively alarmed on the mountain ridge, and couldn't help but show pity on his face.
According to the script, this mountain is the first difficulty for people to learn scriptures, and Master Sanzang will be kidnapped by the demons who occupy this mountain, and then he will come forward to save Master Sanzang.
But at the moment, it's really hard to say who is who!
