Chapter 872: The Great Thunder of the Western Heavens
Although it is only a fictitious projection, the scene is still very majestic and solemn. After all, this represents the face of the entire Buddha cultivation in the upper realm, even if you go through the motions, you have to be down-to-earth.
So when Tang Xuanzang and his entourage saw this projection, they were really frightened and shocked. Even the palaces of the most powerful countries in the Nether Realm were far from being far from being compared to the "Western Heaven" in front of them.
The power of the mystical Buddhism, which seems to be visible to the naked eye, actually lingers in the air like smoke and mist, and the majestic aura feels straight to the heart and spleen from afar.
Zhu Gangguan was worried that his ugly appearance would attract the dislike of the Bodhisattvas in the West, so he changed his ordinary mortal appearance, and Sun Wukong did not say a word about him. Because at this time, Sun Wukong's heart was also pounding, chaotic.
The mysterious Xue Gongzi didn't follow and continued to move forward, since he saw the "West Sky", Xue Gongzi stopped and said that he would wait for them in the same place, and there was also the revenant soul Duan Xiaoxiao.
I don't know why. However, Xue Gongzi explained some things to Sun Wukong, and it was precisely because of this that Sun Wukong was quite uneasy, and even had an urge to escape. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way out now, it is estimated that I would really retreat. Thinking about being treated as a toy and pressing under the Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years, I panicked, now there is not only one such as this, but many bigwigs of Buddhism need to face, and a mistake can not even go to the Wuzhi Mountain.
"Master, slow down, I'll help you go. Zhu Gang followed behind Tang Xuanzang diligently, and the posture was as proper as it was, it was completely to treat Tang Xuanzang as his father, and all he wanted was to wait for the West Heaven to have a good end, and not to be cut by the knife of the unloading and killing of the donkey.
Although Sha Wujing's brain is not as lively as Zhu Gang, he is not stupid, he was still puzzled at the beginning of his second senior brother's diligence, but after thinking about it, he understood, and he also trotted behind Tang Xuanzang, and almost set up Tang Xuanzang one by one.
"Let it go!" Tang Xuanzang shook his arm, breaking free from the support of Zhu Gangguan and Sha Wujing, with a serious and joyful face. Even for today, Tang Xuanzang also put on the cleanest robe that he hid in his baggage. In any case, this Xitian is the desire in his heart for several years, and Tang Xuanzang is still extremely accomplished to be able to complete it. As for the doubts and obsessions in his heart, he deliberately didn't think about them now.
Moving forward, after stepping into the clear golden border, Tang Xuanzang felt that the air was much clearer, and secretly said in his heart: In the end, it is a treasure land of Buddhism, which is really different from the world.
However, Sun Wukong's three brothers looked at each other and were shocked in their hearts, what kind of air is clear here, it is so simple, it is completely because the concentration of heaven and earth vitality here is much higher than the changes brought about by the outside.
After a while, two heads wearing brown monk's robes greeted them, each with a square face and big ears, a charitable face, and a red dot seal at the center of the eyebrows, which showed that they were characters who could enter the upper realm of Buddhism.
"This is Master Tang Xuanzang, we are ordered by the Buddha to welcome you. ”
"Thank you to the two heads, Xuanzang is really flattered. ”
The two heads put their hands together and proclaimed the Buddha's name, and then stretched out their hands to lead the way.
This western heaven is huge, and there are many buildings of all kinds, all of which are the residences and management institutions of various Buddhist practitioners. The monks can compete with the forces ruled by Taishang Laojun, not only by the empty words of "my Buddha is compassionate", but also by the same settings, and even the monks and soldiers are very strong.
"Master Xuanzang, look, the towering hall in front is the Great Leiyin Temple, where the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are already waiting for you. ”
"Thank you for the point. ”
The closer he gets, the more unsettled Tang Xuanzang's heart becomes, the excitement and achievement he felt when he first entered the West Heaven is now very weak, and he doesn't know why, but the doubts in his heart are even more imminent.
The powerful power of the one after another was also spread from the Great Thunder Yin Temple, which was shocking, and also made the three demons, including Sun Wukong, consciously put away all their anger, and followed behind Tang Xuanzang with low eyebrows. It's not clear what they're thinking.
"Tang Xuanzang, the person who learned the scriptures from the West, has arrived, please open the door of the palace!"
At the bottom of the steps outside the main hall, the two heads glanced back at Tang Xuanzang's master and apprentice, nodded, and then called their names loudly.
Almost at the same time as the first roll call fell, a bell suddenly rang above the main hall,?????? Three rings in a row.
"Congratulations to Master Xuanzang, this is your honor, the Buddha bell rings three times, it is already a very high treatment, and generally there is no such treatment when the Arhats are canonized. One of the heads explained with envious eyes.
Buddhism is a strict hierarchy, especially in this western heaven. The lowest status are those novices, all of whom have only recently entered the upper realm or whose natural qualifications are not enough to continue their cultivation. Above the novice is the head tuo, which can be regarded as having some identity, and most of the grassroots managers in the Buddhist world are the head tuo, just like the two who greeted Tang Xuanzang's master and apprentice.
Above the head is the arhat, which is the middle-level force of the Buddha realm, and it is also the status class of the Buddha with potential to stay temporarily. Further up is the Bodhisattva, this layer is even the advanced level of the upper realm of Buddhist cultivation, and it is all bigwig-level figures in the main power structure of Buddhist cultivation. Of course, the same bodhisattva also has a high and low status, so there is no obvious dividing line, everything is about strength.
Above the bodhisattva is the Buddha's position, which is the position of the leader, and the one who is currently staying in this position is the one who is there.
When the bell rings, the hall can be opened with the middle door, which is also a courtesy, and it is an affirmation and reward for the hardships and dangers paid by Tang Xuanzang on this westward journey, which can be regarded as a spiritual reward.
"Master Xuanzang, please come in, the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas are inside. ”
As Toutuo, these two monks who greeted him were not qualified to enter. It seems that after reading the specifications of Tang Xuanzang's courtesy, he knew in his heart that this mortal was afraid that he would soar in the future, so his attitude suddenly became a little respectful.
"There are two of them. ”
Tang Xuanzang saluted to the two heads, and then led his three apprentices and walked forward into the magnificent hall.
As soon as I entered the door, there was a dazzling golden light, and I couldn't open my eyes a little, and after a few breaths, I squinted and saw the scene in the temple in the golden glow.
A huge golden-robed monk is sitting cross-legged on a side of the twelve golden lotuses, solemn and treasured, his eyes seem to be penetrating everything, it is the lord of the western heavens, the great sun is coming. Of course, it is naturally impossible for the projection that can appear in the lower realm to be the true body of the Buddha, but the one in front of him is just the Dharma body. Not only that, but all the bodhisattvas in this hall are manifested Dharmakayas, and those full of arhats are just illusory projections. After all, it's just a cutscene.
"Disciple Tang Xuanzang visits the Buddha!"
Tang Xuanzang reacted instinctively, and immediately knelt down. The three apprentices behind him also bowed down.
After lying on the ground for a long time, Tang Xuanzang heard a sound in front of him, which seemed to come from his brain and seemed to come from the deepest part of his soul.
"Tang Xuanzang, the journey to the west is difficult, do you have any gains and understandings?"
