Early the next morning, before dawn, as soon as Xuanzang pushed the door open, he saw Jin Chi guarding the door with all the elders in the entire Zen courtyard, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Little White Dragon, Black Bear Spirit, and Lu Liugui couldn't help but stretch their heads to watch.

I only heard Jin Chi clasp his hands together, bow down with a dry smile and say, "Master Xuanzang, I have offended a lot in the past two days, please forgive me." ”

"What is the Venerable Jinchi referring to?" Xuanzang asked softly.

"This ......"

All the elders present couldn't help but laugh dryly, Jin Chi clasped his hands together, saluted again, and said, "Master Xuanzang is really magnanimous, I will bow to you." I came here today in the hope that Master Xuanzang could open an altar in this Zen temple to give a lecture. ”

"Opening the altar to preach?"

"Yes. Jin Chi nodded and said, "Master Xuanzang said yesterday that the poor monk's qualifications were dull and he couldn't comprehend it on the spot, and it wasn't until last night that he suddenly realized. Therefore, I consulted with the disciples in the Zen monastery, and decided to ask Master Xuanzang to give lectures for the whole Zen Academy, and also asked Master Xuanzang not to refuse. ”

Xuanzang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and his eyes quietly drifted to the monkey standing not far behind Jin Chi.

"It's really a big reversal, Manjushri is no longer in the monastery, depending on the situation, they asked you to give a lecture this time, and they are sincere. The monkey's voice sounded in Xuanzang's mind.

After a slight hesitation, Xuanzang folded his hands, smiled, bowed down and said, "Entrusted by the Venerable Master Jinchi, the poor monk will definitely do his best." ”

When he said this, the elders immediately smiled one by one.

Jin Chi also breathed a sigh of relief, bowed down and said, "The poor monk has thanked Master Xuanzang for the whole courtyard." Yesterday, it was all poor monks asking questions, and Master Xuanzang answered. Today. The poor monk wants to ask Master Xuanzang to talk about the scriptures you want to preach. Okay?"

Xuanzang raised his head slightly and pondered, and said, "Why don't you talk about a 'Buddha'?"

Hearing this, all the elders were shocked and looked at each other one by one.

Although it has been discussed before coming, today's lecture and the topic selection will be decided by Xuanzang. But I really didn't expect Xuanzang to choose such a topic.

Jin Chi hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "What......'s this?" How can a Buddha say it?"

Xuanzang asked rhetorically: "No matter what the Buddha is, I don't know what the Buddha is, how to become a Buddha?"

Gritting his teeth, Jin Chi arched his hand and said, "Since this is the case, there is Master Lao Xuanzang." ”

At the sound of an order, it didn't take long for all the people in the temple to be summoned.

On the main hall, Xuanzang talked about it in simple terms. The Buddhist scriptures that have long been known to them have been told another point of view. A sentence of Buddha revealed in Xuanzang's mouth can be turned into a magnificent chapter like a world. The perspective is innumerable, attracting the admiration of countless disciples.

Different from the ordinary monks' lectures, Xuanzang not only gave his own answers, but also raised his own questions, which also contained many of Xuanzang's own expectations, which is thought-provoking.

I want to become a Buddha, but I don't have to stick to becoming a Buddha.

This lecture lasted from one hour to three quarters, more than six hours.

During this period, some elders were afraid that Xuanzang would not be able to continue preaching, so they mentioned that they would rest, but Xuanzang said: "As long as there is one person who is really willing to listen to Xuanzang, Xuanzang will continue to speak." ”

The disciples were also attentive and unwilling to leave the table.

Jin Chi was a little stupid when he saw this scene.

He has lectured countless times in his life, but there has never been such a scene, and he can talk to the point where a group of disciples forget to sleep and eat, just because he doesn't want to miss Xuanzang's words, so that he regrets it for life.

Throughout the day, under the guidance of Xuanzang, they traveled to the world that they had always had infinite longing for, but it was difficult to touch.

At dusk, Jin Chi announced the end of the lecture, but there were still many disciples who were reluctant to leave, and several disciples asked to go west with Xuanzang on the spot.

In the midst of the delay, it is already full of stars.

Finally dismissed the disciples in the courtyard, seeing that there was no one around, Jin Chi slowly came to Xuanzang, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed.

Xuanzang was taken aback, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, and said, "Why did the Venerable Master Jinchi make this great gift?"

Na Jinchi sighed softly: "The poor monk has been practicing Buddha for more than two hundred years, although he has been well-known far and near, but he has never been able to touch the original intention of the Buddha, and it is impossible to talk about becoming a Buddha. Everyone says that the poor monks can prolong their lives, but the poor monks have a deep understanding of the Buddhist scriptures and the grace of the Buddha. Only the poor monk knows in his heart that the longevity of the poor monk is only because of the merit of the peach. Today, I listened to the master and said that the poor monk knows that there are people outside the world, and if there is no peach, the poor monk is afraid that there is no difference between the disciples in this courtyard. ”

After that, he took a step back, fell to the ground again, and said loudly: "I implore Master Xuanzang to accept Jin Chi as an apprentice, Jin Chi is willing to go west with Master and lead the horse for Master Xuanzang." If the mage disagrees, Jin Chi will not be able to kneel for a long time. ”

"This ......"

Xuanzang couldn't help but hesitate. The monkey's laughter immediately sounded in his head: "Hey, there's one more person, what can I do?" ”

Xuanzang took a deep breath, leaned over to support Jin Chi again, and said softly: "The Venerable Jin Chi is very serious, Xuanzang traveled west, not to become a Buddha, but to Pudu." If you go west with Xuanzang, you will not be able to become a Buddha. If you want to become a Buddha, you can do it anywhere. ”

"Yes...... Jin Chi has been cultivating in this Zen monastery for more than 200 years, but he has never understood the true meaning of Buddhism. If you can accompany the Master and get the guidance of the Master, you will be able to realize the Tao as soon as possible. ”

"The reason why the Venerable Jin Chi was unable to become a Buddha was because he couldn't see through and couldn't let go. If you can let go of mundane things and become a Buddha, it is only one step away. ”

But this step is as difficult as the sky. Please also ask the mage to have mercy and show the way for the golden pool. At this point, Jin Chi is already in tears.

Xuanzang was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Becoming a Buddha is extraordinary, and you must have your own epiphany." If there is no epiphany, even if others have a thousand strengths, they will not be able to help in the slightest. The poor monk was powerless to help the people of Jin Chi become Buddhas. ”

"In this way, isn't it hopeless for the poor monk in this life?"

Taking a deep breath, Xuanzang said: "The poor monk is powerless to help the Master of Jin Chi become a Buddha, but he can give the Master of Jin Chi a Jian. ”

Hearing this, Jin Chi suddenly lifted his spirits, and hurriedly said, "Please also ask the mage for guidance!"

"The path to Buddhahood can be realized first and then practiced, or the path of Buddha can be followed. And then realize. Case. There are ten golden Buddhas in this courtyard. Please also ask the people of Jinchi to demolish it. ”

"Demolition ...... Demolished?" Master Jin Chi was taken aback.

"Demolished. Xuanzang said lightly: "After demolishing it, it will be turned into silver taels, and in a disaster year, buy some rice and give it to the victims." The Golden Buddha is like this, and so are other things. ”

"This ......" Jin Chi's face couldn't help but tremble.

"Worshiping the Buddha is just talking nonsense, and the so-called 'begging for food for the laity' is the way of asceticism. Experiences the act of cultivating the mind. Though gold and silver are good, they are nothing but mundane things. If we don't do it, how can we get rid of the sea of suffering? How can we become a Buddha just by thinking hard in the courtyard?"

Jin Chi looked at Xuanzang blankly, his eyes blinking.

After a long time, he collected his mind, gritted his teeth and kowtowed: "The poor monk will instruct his disciples to dismantle the ten golden Buddhas tomorrow according to the words of the lawyer!"

......

Late at night, Jin Chi personally sent Xuanzang back to his residence, and said goodbye respectfully before returning.

Push open the courtyard door. Xuanzang saw the monkey leaning crookedly on the stone chair in the courtyard and sipping tea.

"Is this a crossing?" the monkey asked softly.

Xuanzang shook his head and said, "For the time being, I don't know." ”

He let out a long sigh. The monkey poured a cup of tea for Xuanzang, pushed it over, and said leisurely: "It's really good to keep the clouds open and see the moon, but that old guy is not a good thing, and it's really a little uncomfortable to see him being crossed." ”

Xuanzang smiled faintly, slowly sat down on the edge of the stone table in the aisle, and held the teacup in both hands to taste it carefully.

"Did you guess that this would be the case today when you gave him a lecture yesterday?"

"How can you guess, but what if you can't?"

"If you guess, it means that you are far-sighted, and if you can't guess, it is luck. ”

Xuanzang smiled faintly again, and sighed slowly: "Is it good for the poor monk to tell a story to the great sage?"

Say. ”

"There was a farmer, and one day, a god told him in a dream that he would give him ten thousand taels of gold because he had done good deeds and accumulated virtues. So the peasant waited at home day after day, and even the fields were deserted, until he starved to death, and he did not see the ten thousand taels of gold given by the gods. After his death, he met this god in the underworld. So he asked the gods why they didn't keep their promises. But the fairy said that the promise had been fulfilled, and that ten thousand taels of gold were buried in his field. The poor farmer has not cultivated the land for a day since the dream of the gods, so naturally there is no way to obtain it. ”

Hearing this, the monkey couldn't help laughing: "How old is this story?"

"The Great Sage has heard this story?"

"Yes. But it's not a farmer, it's a fisherman, pretty much the same thing. ”

"What conclusion did the Great Sage Master draw from this?"

The monkey couldn't help but be stunned, and turned his head to look at Xuanzang.

I only heard Xuanzang say in a low voice: "The poor monk is the farmer, and the purification of all sentient beings is ten thousand taels of gold." If the poor monk does nothing, even if he really buries 10,000 taels of gold in the field, what does he have to do with the poor monk? Therefore, all the poor monk has to do is to work hard every day and do his best. ”

"Then what if Tanaka doesn't have that gold tael?"

"Do you remember what the poor monk said to the Great Sage yesterday?"

"Let it be, don't force everything?"

Xuanzang nodded silently.

"That'...... Actually, I didn't understand it, so take this opportunity to tell me about it. ”

"It is not the work of one person to preach Pudu, but someone must take the first step. It's like the story just now, many people have heard it, but not everyone who has heard it will follow it, and not everyone will believe it, because it is just a story. All Xuanzang needs to do is ......" Speaking of this, Xuanzang dipped the tea in his hand and wrote the word "line" on the stone table, and said: "Body lì line, let them all see the 'golden ten thousand taels' with their own eyes." ”

The monkey stared at the word "line" quietly for a long time, until the word was dried in the wind, and then he said softly: "How do you know that there must be 'ten thousand taels of gold' in this field?"

"Because of faith. Xuanzang said.

......

Early the next morning, Jinchi really ordered all the Golden Buddhas in the Zen Temple to be demolished as he said to Xuanzang yesterday, leaving no one behind.

The disciples in the entire Zen monastery were busy, and he himself led the elders in the Zen monastery to guard the door early.

Seeing Xuanzang and his entourage leading the horse and slowly walking out of the courtyard with their bags, Jin Chi hurriedly stepped forward, folded his hands, bowed down and said: "Yesterday I listened to the scriptures and benefited a lot, and the poor monks thanked Master Xuanzang for the Zen Academy." ”

Xuanzang also folded his hands and silently returned the salute.

Na Jinchi said: "I wanted to ask Master Xuanzang to stay for a longer time, but I can consider that Master Xuanzang's westward journey is for preaching. It's a long road. I can't wait any longer. I just hope that when the Venerable Master returns from the Tao, he must remember to stay in this Guanyin Monastery for a few more days, firstly, I hope that the Venerable Master will give a lecture to the disciples of the Monastery to solve their doubts, and secondly, we will also look forward to the results of the Venerable Master's trip. ”

Xuanzang smiled faintly, bowed down and said, "When you return, please take care of the people in Jinchi." ”

"Don't say that, the mage, the golden pool is in front of the mage. It's not an exaggeration to call yourself a disciple, so how can you take care of it?"

Surrounded by the monks of the Zen Temple, everyone set off from the Guanyin Zen Temple, went down the mountain, went all the way to the west, and went straight out of the three-mile road, Xuanzang persuaded Jinchi and others not to send it again, and everyone wanted to send it, and it went seven miles.

Until ten miles away. Jin Chi and his entourage repeatedly told Xuanzang to visit the Guanyin Monastery again when he returned, and finally stopped. watched Xuanzang go away.

Along the way, the monkey led the horse and said: "I really didn't expect it, when I first arrived, I was greeted by the hospital, and when I left, I was also sent by the hospital, but the charm in this is much worse." The old monk just gave it like this, thinking about the face at the beginning, it was really a little unhappy. ”

Xuanzang rode on his horse and said softly: "Who can be free from confusion among all living beings? Even if there is, as long as it can be changed, what's the harm? Moreover, the Venerable Master Jinchi has not made a big mistake, and now he can fully understand, just talking about his dismantling of the Golden Buddha and giving food to the victims of the disaster, it is a merit." What's wrong?"

"In the past, I used to blow people in the head with a stick. ”

"Therefore, you are the great sage, and the poor monk is Xuanzang, each with its own considerations. Xuanzang laughed softly: "Go all the way to the west, take what you need." ”

Glancing at each other, both of them laughed, laughing so much that the black bear spirit and the little white dragon were inexplicable for a while. However, Lu Liugui seemed to understand, but his brows were frowning tightly, and there was a trace of doubt in Xuanzang's eyes.

......

In Xiniu Hezhou, in the Dragon Palace of Bibotan, a fish spirit cautiously crawled in front of the nine-headed insect.

The nine-headed insect sat on a stone chair surrounded by coral, frowned tightly, and said softly, "Lu Liugui has already met the Great Sage?"

The fish spirit arched his hand and said: "Back to the words of the horse master, the news is reported by our hidden in Lu Liugui's army, and it is conclusive. ”

"How did he know where the Great Sage was?"

"This ...... I don't know if it's the little one, but I only know that it was the news that Miss Ying'er brought back. ”

"Ying'er?" the nine-headed insect raised its head slightly and sighed lightly, "Is there any other news about the Great Sage?"

"No, the Great Sage's divine sense is amazing, and he doesn't dare to approach that fine work. ”

Princess Nuan Nuan, who was sitting on the side, said softly: "Otherwise, you still follow Lu Liugui's example and go to meet the Great Sage, right? ”

"Hey. The nine-headed insect shook his head and said, "When you see him, how can you tell him?" said that in order to replace my father-in-law's peach, I took away most of the Enlightened Dao monsters under Lu Liugui's men, and secretly restricted their development over the years, and have I ever restrained a few demon kings for Heavenly Court?"

The Princess of All Saints couldn't help but be silent.

Reaching out and rubbing his temples, the hydra said softly: "It's been hundreds of years, I really didn't expect him to come back, if I knew that he would come back...... I ...... too."

Spread out his hands, but the hydra couldn't say any more.

The longevity of the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King is the death hole of the nine-headed insect, which is known to everyone in the Three Realms. Even if he used the family background left by Huaguo Mountain at that time to create a huge demon kingdom? He could include the mortal world in his pocket, but he was not a monkey, and it was impossible for him to break through the Nantian Gate. Nor will the Almighty let him do whatever he wants.

If you can't enter the Nantianmen, you can't get the peach, and if you can't get the peach, you can't prolong your life......

Perhaps, even if he had known that the monkey would return in more than 600 years, he would have made the same decision as he had made at the beginning. For him, it was just a dead end from beginning to end.

After being silent for a long time, the Princess of All Saints said softly: "Otherwise, let me go and meet the Great Sage." He also knows about his father, even if he wants to blame him, he shouldn't be too harsh. ”

"Let you go, where will my face rest?" The hydra patted the hand of the Princess of All Saints, shook his head and sighed, "You let me think again." After a few days, I thought about it, and I went to ask for guilt myself. ”

Looking at the nine-headed insect with a sad face, the Princess of All Saints nodded slightly and said no more.

......

Nanzhan Buzhou.

Everyone just walked all the way here, eating and sleeping in the open. Five days later, I have come to the place where I am 80 miles away from the Guanyin Zen Temple, and I saw a stone tablet in the weeds on the side of the mountain road, and the tablet reads: "Gao Laozhuang".

The moment he saw the stone stele, the monkey paused slightly. (To be continued......)
