Chapter 595
Wukong waited at the Two Realms Pass, and since the Five Elements Mountain had been broken, he also came out, and the Gongcao and Jiedi who guarded it naturally dispersed.
When Chen Xuanzang walked by, Wukong squatted on the stone and shouted: "Monk Wuna, and stay! But the Tang Dynasty from the East is here, and you want to go to the West to learn the scriptures?"
Chen Xuanzang couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and put his hands together and said: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and the poor monk is going to go to the west to learn the scriptures......!"
He really didn't know what to call a monkey, so he swallowed it halfway through.
"Oh! My old grandson is a person who was handpicked by Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea, and I know that you are going to pass by here, so I have come to escort you! This way to the west, there are many demons, monsters, and robbers who cut the path, but you can't do it without my old grandson. Wukong said, somersaulting down from the stone.
When Tang Seng heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "It turns out that you are the one who wants to protect me to the West Heaven, I don't know what your name is?"
Wukong said: "Because I am a monkey, the master gave him a surname Sun, and the generations are in line with the Wuzi generation, and they are related to Buddhism, so they are called Sun Wukong." ”
Tang Seng said happily: "Very good, very good, such a name is really related to my Buddha! If you go to the west with me, you can naturally get a positive result." ”
Although this Tang Seng is no different from the Tang Seng in the previous life, the three souls and seven spirits are all different, they are not the same person, they are just another "golden cicada" fabricated out of thin air by Heavenly Dao in order to conform to their own inertia, as if they were forcibly detained from a parallel space.
Wukong said: "This way, I'm afraid there will be many people in the way, do you say to kill or not?"
Tang Seng said: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, this is very dangerous, if you can influence them, of course it is the best, if you can't influence them, drive them away, if you are stubborn, then you can only turn into an angry King Kong, and cut it off." ”
Wukong couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart, and said in his heart: "This Tang Seng is not as pedantic as before. ”
Wukong said: "Your Dharma may not have been mastered by Lao Sun yet, the Bodhisattva's original intention was to let me worship you as a master, but I don't think there is such a need, you will naturally have the opportunity to accept apprentices later." ”
Tang Seng was also worried that this road to the west would encounter danger and harm his life, and now that there is such a powerful helper, where is he willing to let go? Hurriedly said: "The master comes first, since Wukong, your mana is strong and you know more Buddhism than me, then there is no need to apprentice." ”
Wukong said happily: "Very good, very good! You are still quite reasonable." ”
Wukong led the way in front, Tang Seng rode behind, he knew that there should be robbers in front of him, these robbers, I can't tell which recruited cannon fodder, let themselves be killed, so that Tang Seng could drive himself away, it was a disaster, as a ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulty.
Naturally, these robbers were killed by him with a stick, needless to say. It's just that this Tang Seng is not as pedantic as the Tang Seng in the previous life, seeing that Wukong killed the robbers, he had some compassion and mercy in his heart, so he asked Wukong to bury them, and then read a scripture to be excessive.
"Why don't the elders blame me for killing these robbers?" asked Goku.
"Hey, although it is not good to kill, but if you let them go, they are afraid that they will harm other people's lives again, so I don't blame you for killing them. There are times when the Buddha turns into an angry-eyed vajra, let alone us who have not become Buddhas? Killing these robbers is killing living beings, but it is also doing good. There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!" Tang Seng couldn't help but fold his hands, slowly stood up and sighed, "If you don't intend to hurt people, you can let it go, but if you intend to do things that hurt heaven and reason, you should naturally do the right thing for heaven!"
Wukong couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, the reincarnation of this golden cicada is not ordinary, and he has seen these things more thoroughly. Buddhism is powerful is brainwashing, the Tang Seng in the previous life has been completely brainwashed, if it weren't for Lao Jun secretly awakening his ninth reincarnation memory, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to wake up. This Tang monk can see clearly, although the Buddhist teachings emphasize compassion and cannot kill, but Wukong killed these robbers, but he didn't say anything, let alone drive him away.
Wukong said: "It seems that the elder is still very sensible, if it is a rigid and dogmatic monk, I am afraid that I should be expelled." ”
Tang Seng said: "People don't hurt the tiger, and the tiger harms people's hearts." Although the hungry tiger eats people, it is also natural selection, and if people want to harm people, then they will not be tolerated! What is more terrible than ghosts and gods is always the human heart. A Buddha is a person who has passed by, and a person is a Buddha in the future! A person can become a Buddha or a demon, but it is just a thought. May these robbers listen to my scriptures and be reincarnated as good people in the next life!"
Wukong couldn't help but bow his head and said, "That's a good point! Although Buddhism stresses compassion, it must not be too rigid, and we must know how to be flexible! Otherwise, what is the difference between these Dharma and rules and laws? This is academics and wisdom, not laws used to restrain people! No matter what kind of scholarship it is, the important thing is to cultivate the mind, and if the mind is smooth, everything will be unimpeded!"
Tang Seng couldn't help but nod his head when he said this, he felt that most of the people who practice Zen today are too rigid, and some of them even go crazy in cultivation, which is not good.
Tang Seng said: "Wukong said this very reasonably, Buddhism is not a dogmatic law, everything is focused on cultivating the mind, there are monks who have drunk and flesh through the intestines, and the Buddha has left in his heart; there are monks who are hidden in the red dust, and the red dust in the world has been robbed; there are monks who kill evil demons and protect Buddhism." The precepts are just a bottom line for ordinary people, and a true great cultivator will not be bound by these precepts, but will move with his heart, and do whatever he wants. ”
"Does the elder know what the Mahayana Sutra of the Three Tibets is to be fetched?" Wukong then asked.
"The Mahayana sutras are much more advanced than the Hinayana Buddhism, but there are many things that I don't agree with. Tang Seng said resolutely.
"Hah, that's the creation of the Buddha!" Wukong said.
"The Buddha is the person who has come before, and the person is the Buddha of the future. In the future, I can also become a Buddha!" Tang Seng Baoxiang said solemnly, with a sense of inviolability.
Wukong immediately said solemnly: "Sure enough, it is a high monk, I admire it very much! ”
Tang Seng said: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and the poor monk is here to thank you!"
Wukong put the golden hoop stick on his shoulder and said, "The road ahead is not easy to walk, this road to the west, you have to be careful." ”
Wukong knew that the two sides of Buddhism and Taoism would not harm Tang Seng's life no matter what, but they were just sending people to fight openly and secretly.
For example, Nazhen Yuanzi left them in Wuzhuang Temple, I am afraid that he got the will of Sanqing, and then embarrassed Buddhism, to see how Rulai could resolve this calamity and save the spiritual root ginseng fruit tree of heaven and earth.
Tang Seng smiled: "There is Lao Wukong's support." ”
Wukong said: "It's okay, it's okay, five hundred years ago, my grandson and I broke into a catastrophe, and I deserved to escort you west to Lingshan." ”
Tang Seng just smiled and shook his head slightly.
Wukong held the reins in front of him and led Tang Seng all the way west, and the journey to the west in the previous life, because of the conspiracy of Rulai, almost died in Huangquan.
What about this life?
It is said that Wukong waited until Chen Xuanzang and wanted to escort him to Xitianling Mountain to learn scriptures.
This Chen Xuanzang is different from the previous one, he seems to be less dogmatic and rigid, and he also has his own more unique views on the comprehension of Buddhism.
Along the way, those calamities are just pediatrics for Wukong, and there is no need to ask Guanyin at all, crack and beat them down, discipline the demons and monsters to die in Huangquan, whether you come from heaven or send them secretly, they are all beaten into powder.
"Senior brother, your apprentice is powerful enough, you have secretly cultivated to the point of almost mixing the Yuan Golden Immortal without making a sound, and the two sticks of the Black Wind Monster that you ordered over the years were killed by him, don't you feel distressed?" asked Yuan Shi Tianzun.
"It's just a game of idle chess, if you are killed, you will be killed! At first, it was just a small test, and when you get to Wuzhuang Temple, you will have a good time with Buddhism. The Tongtian Sect Master said very calmly, it turned out that the black bear spirit that stole the robe from the Guanyin Academy was the one who had been wise and slightly guided the cultivation when he had nothing to do.
"He can't even be considered an apprentice who connects to the sky, if he is killed, he will be killed!
Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha are both eyeliners inserted by the Jade Emperor, where is the Queen Mother's glass cup so easy to break, although Marshal Tianpeng is frivolous, but the rules of the heavenly court are still clear, to tease Chang'e, this is impossible. These two men were demoted to mortal land on such charges. In the eyes of a discerning person, it is somewhat unpleasant.
This time, when he came to the Yunzhan Cave, Wukong was supposed to beat Zhu Bajie into a powder with a stick. But Guanyin came out to stop her, she received the benefits of the Jade Emperor, this matter must be done, saying that this person has a fate with my Buddha, and he must be born well, and he cannot be murdered and killed.
Wukong couldn't, so he could only accept the golden hoop stick. Xin said: "Let this pig's head enter the team, I'm afraid it's not to spy on my grandson! I'm afraid he'll be able to see it clearly!"
Zhu Bajie entered the team to learn the scriptures, I am afraid that he was purely here to be a spy and eyeliner, and by the way, he caused some trouble under the instructions of the Jade Emperor, so as to prevent the team from advancing. From time to time, he put forward some suggestions to shake the morale of the army, and he was a guy who came in to cause sabotage! However, Zhu Bajie also secretly thought in his heart, if Taoism wins this game, then he can return to heaven, and if Buddhism wins, he can also go to the West Tianling Mountain to mix with the Venerable Dangdang, no matter how it is calculated, it will be worth it, and this way will be seen and seen.
When he was in Gao Laozhuang, Bajie was almost beaten to death by Wukong with two sticks. I couldn't help but be secretly surprised in my heart, and said in my heart: "When did the mana of this monkey head take another step, it seems that it is not idle to be pressed under the Five Elements Mountain! These two sticks almost killed me." If it weren't for the Bodhisattva's timely arrival, I'm afraid my life would have really fallen into his hands!"
Bajie, who almost died under Wukong's stick, was naturally extremely careful, Wukong's arrogance and coldness were very serious, and Bajie was eager to please, for fear that the big brother would be angry and beat himself into a pulp with a stick.
Wukong Monster smiled: "Bajie." If you want to achieve positive results, I won't say anything. But if someone stabs him twice, the golden rod in my hand really won't agree!"
When Zhu Bajie heard this, he was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, and he didn't know if what this monkey brother said was clear, or if he said it casually, he hurriedly wiped the sweat on his forehead, patted his chest and said: "Who is his grandmother's two-sided and three-knifed, the old pig and my nail rake can't spare him, if you don't kill Brother Monkey, your golden hoop stick will be shot!"
Wukong just laughed again and again, but didn't speak, and when he heard it, Zhu Bajie's heart was broken, and he hurriedly walked to the front with a salute.
Tang Seng asked, "Why did Wukong go to scare Bajie?"
Wukong said: "This pig's head looks honest, but in fact, there are a lot of ghost eyes, I am warning him, let him do his best, so that he can go to the west and achieve positive results!"
Tang Seng bowed his head and said: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and you can't go to the west sky, so you still depend on your sincerity." If he is unwilling to go to the west, there is no way. ”
Wukong said with a smile: "Elder rest assured, with Lao Sun here, even if you don't want to go to the West Heaven, I can take you up!"
Tang Seng said: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, I am afraid that I will have to kill a lot of beings along the way, but in order to obtain the true scriptures and purify all sentient beings, there is no way to do it." Let's go. ”
This time, I came to the quicksand river again, and the curtain general in the quicksand river is also the eyeliner of the heavenly court, Guanyin received the benefits, so he naturally wanted to help with things, so he told Wukong when he collected Zhu Bajie earlier, saying that the quicksand river is also a member of the westbound team, so that he needs to deal with it well, and don't be angry and ruin people's lives. Guanyin had already been in cahoots with Wukong, and Wukong naturally wouldn't disobey her request, so he nodded and agreed.
The general of the roller shutter in the quicksand river was cleaned up again, and then the Bodhisattva came forward and persuaded him to join Chen Xuanzang's disciple as an apprentice and escorted Chen Xuanzang to the west to learn scriptures.
This way to the west, the two sides of the Buddha and the Tao are just a small test, in the secret competition of the law, the Buddha, the golden immortal, the Bodhisattva and so on into a group, each other has a victory.
Yuan Shi Tianzun wrote a brief post and said: "The four masters and apprentices are about to go to Wuzhuangguan, so they should invite Zhen Yuanzi to come up and wait for the monkey head to get into trouble." ”
The Tongtian Sect Master knew that Wukong had already experienced a journey to the west, and he knew how to do it, so he didn't let Wusheng go down and told him, "Well, then you can send the brief post down." ”
Yuan Shi Tianzun said: "Then invite him to Miluo Palace, this person is also your apprentice anyway." ”
Tongtian Sect Leader smiled and said, "It seems that you already know. ”
