The road is long, I will go up and down and seek.

Leaving the country of black chickens, Wang Fei followed the road all the way to the east. At this time, the journey to the west had just ended. After Tang Seng and the four of them swept all the way, the demons and monsters along the way were either swept away or had fled far away. Wang Fei followed the road and went smoothly to the Tang Kingdom. When passing by the Two Realms Mountain, I also went to the old site of the Five Elements Mountain to remember. It's a pity that now there is only a pile of rocks left, and there are no crushed monkeys, and the four values of Gong Cao and the five directions have also returned to heaven. Maybe there is still a land father-in-law guarding there, but Wang Fei has never seen it.

The customs of the Tang Dynasty in the East are quite different from Wang Fei's hometown of Wuji Country. Now it is the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, the four seas are leveled, and the people have enough food and clothing. According to Wang Fei's inquiry, the year before last, Master Sanzang, the younger brother of the Tang Dynasty, retrieved the Mahayana scriptures and preached for three days to purify all sentient beings, and finally the Buddha's light led him to become a Buddha on the ground, and he had ascended to the world of bliss. Tang King Li Shimin ordered people to build the White Horse Temple, store the Mahayana scriptures, and summoned monks from all over the world to preach Buddhism in Beijing. Buddhist temples were built in the local area, and even many Taoist temples were demolished and rebuilt Buddhist temples, and Buddhism flourished in Dongtu for a while.

"This Li Tang Dynasty established the country with Taoism, and the founding ancestor Li Yuan also claimed to be a descendant of Li Er, the old monarch of Taishang. But now that Buddhism is flourishing, where is this Taoist?"

Wang Fei muttered secretly in his heart, but it was none of his business. After thinking about it, I ignored it and continued to wander along the main road in various famous mountains. I want to try to find a Taoist master and ask for advice. It was feasible for several months, and I visited several famous mountains, but I didn't see a single master. I can't help but sigh that I don't have a chance. He also looked for the Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain on the road, but how could the ancestor of the immortals be seen by ordinary people. I asked all the way, and no one knew where Wuzhuang Temple was. When Wang Fei was in Gao Laozhuang, he had seen Gao Cuilan, but he had never heard of Futu Mountain nearby. On the way to learn scriptures from Tang monks, the Taoist master should be Zhenyuan Daxian. The master of Buddhism is the Wuchao Zen Master. These two are the real big shots. Wang Fei couldn't find it, and knew that there was no chance, so he no longer forced it. But now I can't meet a master in Dongtu, and I can't help but be a little disappointed.

On this day, the king flew to Zhongtiao Mountain, and saw a group of officers and soldiers in the distance, about a dozen people in front of the road, followed by a chief officer and an old man riding a donkey. These officers and soldiers were not uncommon, but the old man was white-haired and red-faced, with a face like a baby, riding a donkey. Dressed in a cyan cloth robe, holding a turntable in his hand, his eyes slightly closed as if he were asleep. Wang Fei saw this old god and stood beside the road. When the officers and soldiers in front of them passed, and the chief officer and the old man in the back approached, they stepped forward to stop the road and saluted:

"The two of you are invited, the poor Dao Wang Fei, who calls himself Feiyun Dao people. Seeing the old gentleman's wonders, I don't know the names of the two high surnames?"

This time he went out, Wang Fei took a road number for himself, and his original name took a flying word. Practice the Tianhe Fa-rectification by yourself, and Tianhe also has the meaning of clouds. He is called a Feiyun Dao person.

In the Eastern Tang Dynasty, knowledgeable people know that it is best not to provoke them when they encounter monks. Because there are many strangers in the Sangha. The official saw that this Feiyun Dao person had an extraordinary temperament, so he dismounted and said:

"This official is the imperial envoy of the imperial court, and His Majesty personally sent him to and from Zhongtiao Mountain to invite Mr. Tongxuan to enter Beijing to face the saint. ”

Wang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this, and with the refining of qi and the transformation of gods, he was alert. Many vague memories of past lives are becoming clearer. Mr. Tong Xuan is one of the Eight Immortals, Zhang Guolao's Taoist name. Could it be that this old man is Zhang Guolao? After thinking about it, he hurriedly bowed and saluted:

"The little Taoist priest greets the seniors. ”

Only then did the old man open his sleepy eyes. glanced at Wang Fei and said:

"It turned out to be a little Taoist, why did you stop me and others from going there?"

Wang Fei said respectfully:

"Xiaodao knew the name of his predecessors for a long time, and he was able to see his predecessors today, which is really a blessing for three lives, and I have come to ask my predecessors to guide me to practice. ”

Zhang Guo said:

"Lao Tzu said, the Tao is very Taoist. The avenue is unspeakable, and there is a saying that the cloud road cannot be passed on lightly. You must know that you don't meet people to pass on the tricks, empty words and dry tongues. ”

Wang Fei heard it and understood in his heart that this truth should not be passed on lightly, but it should depend on sincerity. Hurriedly stepped forward and begged bitterly:

"The seniors, the younger generations put aside their common fate, sincerely sought the Tao, and came to Middle-earth thousands of miles away. Ask the immortals for mercy and give advice. ”

Zhang Guolao listened to the donkey, got up and said:

"Well, you and I meet today because of fate. I see that you are refining the gods with qi, if you can help me with something, I will pass on a copy of the "Immortal Dao Elixir Sutra", what do you think?"

Wang Fei was slightly disappointed when he heard this, but still agreed:

"Please ask the seniors to command. ”

Zhang Guo said:

"Since Master Sanzang retrieved the true scriptures, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty respected Buddhism. There are many actions to suppress the Tao and promote the Buddha. Recently, the emperor invited high-ranking monks and monks from all over the country to debate and test the true law. I didn't want to wade lightly into the red dust and get contaminated with non-cause and effect. But as a Taoist, I should also do a little bit. When I met you today, I think it was fate, would you like to go to the Buddhist masters for a while on my behalf?"

Hearing this, Wang Feiji was embarrassed, so he said:

"Senior, the mana of the small path is low and the path is poor, I am afraid that I will not be able to help, and I will lose the face of the door. ”

Zhang Guolao laughed when he heard this:

"Don't be afraid, I know the two leading monks. One of these two is Kumarosh and the other is a Shicha Nanda. It is the two disciples of the Shizun Rulai of the Great Leiyin Temple in the West Heaven, and the Ananda Leaves are incarnated. These two people had asked for personnel when Master Sanzang was studying the scriptures. He was punished by Rulai to go to the east to promote Buddhism. I already know all the methods of the two of them, and I can give you a spirit talisman to ensure that you break their methods. ”

Hearing this, Wang Fei's heart was half cold. Ananda Kaye is to blackmail the two Tang monks and purple gold bowls, and the two followers of Rulai are not easy. But at this time, if you regret not going, you can only be a person inside and out. I had to say:

"The predecessors are merciful, only one spirit rune is not safe, what kind of immortal magic weapon does the predecessor have, give me eight pieces of ten, and it is good not to fall into the face of our Taoists. ”

Zhang Guolao laughed when he heard this, stretched out his hand, and first passed on a Dan Sutra to Wang Fei. He took out another spirit rune, turned into a clear light and landed on Wang Fei's arm. And then he said:

"You will do this well, and when the four treasures of Emperor Shun are unearthed here. I will grant you one. ”

After speaking, he said to the imperial court:

"This person can go to the Holy Contest on my behalf. My life is at the end of my life today, and I deserve to die in Huangquan. ”

After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

Na Qincha was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look. I saw that Zhang Guolao's face was pale, and he had already died of anger. When the donkey saw that the fruit was old and dead, he screamed a few times, ran into the deep mountains, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

This change stunned Wang Fei. Nachin sighed for a moment:

"Again, like this, again. ”

Wang Fei heard this and hurriedly asked:

"What do you mean by that, my lord?"

The officer replied:

"Taoists don't know, a few years ago, when Master Xuanzang did not return from the scriptures, my emperor heard that Mr. Tongxuan has great powers, and he is a golden immortal. He sent a messenger to Zhongtiao Mountain and asked the gentleman to enter the capital to face the saint. Mr. said that my life is at the end of today, and I can't face the saint. After saying that, he fell to the ground and died like this. Two years later, Mr. Tong Xuan was seen cultivating in his old residence. Now I have been ordered by the emperor to invite Mr., and after a long persuasion, Mr. agreed to enter Beijing, who would have thought that it would be like this now. ”

After speaking, he stared at Wang Fei and said:

"You have been ordered by Mr. Tongxuan, but you have to follow me into Beijing. Looking at that look, it seemed that he was worried that Wang Fei would also fall to the ground and die in an instant.

Wang Fei was surprised when he heard this, this immortal was really interested in strange and unfathomable. Thinking of the body of the pig Bajie immortal, he loves to eat and drink and can't go hungry. This Zhang Guo Lao is the Eight Immortals of Taiqing Authentic Upper Cave. even pretended to be dead if he didn't agree with him. Looking at the official's eyes, Wang Fei couldn't help but sigh:

"Adults don't have to worry, there are still many lives in the poor road, and they will not die in the near future. ”

After speaking, he said:

"Now that the old man is dead, the adults will see what to do with it. ”

The official was also a ruthless man, got up and gritted his teeth and said:

"When the lower officials came, His Majesty had a word, saying that if you live to see people, you must see corpses when you die. Since Guo Lao is dead, then bring this corpse into the capital to face the saint. ”

After saying that, he ordered the sergeant to prepare the horse and the chariot. After the soldiers were ready, they used a cart to pull Zhang Guo's body, and lent the horse to Wang Fei to ride. Then the group followed the official road and headed for Chang'an.

It is said that Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty, traveled to the underworld because of the matter of the Dragon King of Jinghe. I have experienced all kinds of terrible and suffering things in the underworld. I saw my father Li Yuan again, my brother was built, and Yuan Ji was waiting in hell to find him for his life. There is a growing fear of aging and a fear of death. Later, when he heard that Buddhism Dacheng Buddhism could transcend the soul, he sent Tang Seng to the West to learn scriptures. Prepare to detach the enemy and avert the wrong. Tang Seng went for 14 years, Li Shimin gradually aged, and he was once obsessed with the Taoist art of cultivating immortals and immortality. On several occasions, he has summoned the famous people of the Tao throughout the country. But under the fame, it is actually difficult to deserve, there are many indiscriminate and full of people, and there are few people with real skills. Later, one of the masters, Ye Fashan, recommended to the Tang Emperor Zhang Guolao of Zhongtiao Mountain, saying that this old man was the authentic sect of Xuanmen, and the golden immortal became a Taoist. There are incredible abilities. Taizong was overjoyed and sent a messenger to Zhongtiao Mountain to invite Zhang Guolao. However, this old man's life was exhausted and he fell to the ground, and the envoy had to return the matter to Taizong. Some courtiers said that Zhang Guo must have been a swagger and deceitful, and when he heard that he was scared, he took poison and died. Emperor Taizong was also suspicious in his heart. Later, I heard that Zhang Guolao appeared in Zhongtiao Mountain to cultivate the Tao. Only then did I understand that fate was not enough, and the immortal pretended to be dead and did not see it. Later, Master Xuanzang retrieved the true scriptures and held a three-day water and land dojo to surpass the sins and wrongs. Emperor Taizong was a little relieved, but how could he think that Master Xuanzang would become a Buddha and go to the Western Elysium. Taizong guarded the Great Enlightenment Sutra, but there was no way to live forever. Depressed in his heart, he greatly promoted Buddhism and convened senior monks, hoping to find the method of immortality from the Sanzang Sutra. Respecting the Buddha and suppressing the Tao naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many Taoist priests, and the two sides often argued about the dialectic. But it is often impossible to refute the other party, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. Later, two monks came, claiming to be Western monks, who followed the path of the Sanzang Master to learn the scriptures, and came specifically to promote the Dharma, one Kumarosh and the other Shicha Nanda. These two eminent monks really have great magical powers, not only preaching the scriptures and saying that the head is the Tao, but also can meditate in the fire, take a bath in boiling oil, and have cultivated an immortal golden body. Many famous Taoist priests fought with these two people in dialectics and gambling, but they couldn't beat him. King Tang was overjoyed, knowing that these two were Vajra Arhat-like figures, and was about to announce the decree to build a temple for the two eminent monks and seal the Dharma name. The Taoist priest Ye Fashan shouted loudly:

"Although these two people have some magical powers, how can they be more profound than my Dao Sect Dharma lineage. Although the minister is not talented, I hope that His Majesty can gather people from all over the country to set a date and compare with these two monks. ”
