Above the Nine Heavens, in the midst of the clouds and mist, there were heavenly armies in silver armor standing in the huge square, and banners were waving in the wind.

In the backyard of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, the stream trickled.

In the imperial study, Li Jing whispered.

"That demon monkey didn't contact the old department, nor did he rush to return to Huaguo Mountain, and he didn't even announce the intention of returning to the Three Realms at all...... Although he was still arrogant, it seemed that he really did not intend to have another dispute with the Heavenly Court, nor did he mean to return to the position of the demon king. But another thing he learned during this trip made the minister quite worried. ”

"The person who learned the scriptures rumored in the Three Realms before was actually the reincarnation of the golden cicada in the West, and his name in this life is Xuanzang, and he is a traveling monk in the Eastern Soil. It is rumored in the Three Realms that Xuanzang was ordered by the Buddha to go to the Da Lei Yin Temple with a huge treasure to seek the true scriptures, in order to introduce Buddhism to the East Land. ”

"This golden cicada, originally the second disciple of the seat of Rulai, 800 years ago because of confusion, in the Lingshan dialectical time to fight Rulai, although defeated, the confusion but not solved, so lost the Buddha's golden body, turned into reincarnation, after ten lifetimes of suffering. ”

"As everyone knows, the matter of reincarnation in the underworld is now in the hands of Buddhism. Buddhism practice is different from Taoism, thanks to that thought of epiphany, a lifetime of enlightenment, without the help of peach ginseng fruit, then there is no way to talk about the matter of longevity, to the end of life, the next life has to be rebuilt from scratch, to become a Buddha, it can be described as extremely difficult. But if the reincarnation of a monk can retain the memory of his previous life, it is a different matter. It was precisely because of this that the Buddhist Gate that he took the opportunity to hold the six reincarnations in his hands when the demon monkey was making trouble in the underworld, and it is still today. ”

"If it is inferred according to common sense, this golden cicada is the second disciple of the Buddha, and now he has been reincarnated for ten lifetimes. If the Buddha wants to recall him to the throne again. He instructed him to hike west to prove the Buddha's fruition. There is nothing wrong with that. But this Xuanzang ...... For ten lifetimes, he has been a monk, but he has never enjoyed the treatment of preserving his memory. It can be seen that the West does not attach as much importance to this golden cicada as the outside world says. ”

Moreover, the Three Realms spread overnight that eating its flesh could lead to immortality, and it was also rumored that it was carrying the treasure given by the Buddha, and it was even claimed that if he died on the way to the west, the Buddha would not pursue it. This. Someone will want to harm him. ”

"I think that the golden cicada has always been low-key, kind to others, and has never been offended by others, and has made friends with Taoist powers, so no one should harm him. Furthermore, if it was really the Buddha who instructed him to go west, why didn't he send Buddhist disciples to escort him, but to find Sun Wukong, who had a deep hatred for Rulai, to escort him along the way, wouldn't it be strange?"

"So. The minister thought that it was a matter of going west. I'm afraid that there is something inside, and it is not as simple as it seems on the surface. ”

As he spoke, Li Jing lowered his head and arched his hands, raising his eyes to look at the Jade Emperor sitting in front of the dragon case.

The Jade Emperor raised his head slightly, his eyes slowly narrowed into a slit, and he stroked his long beard and thought carefully.

After a long time, he asked softly: "Do you know what the golden cicada was confused about that day?"

"This ......" Li Jing was slightly stunned, and arched his hand: "The minister also knows a little bit about it, and listen to the minister's details......"

......

In the main hall of Guanyin Zen Temple, under the attention of everyone, Xuanzang slowly got up.

"If you don't argue, I'll beat them to death with a stick. This group of people is obviously here to find fault. This kind of miscellaneous, there is no need to talk to them much, it is easiest to beat them to death with a stick. A voice sounded in Xuanzang's mind.

"Running away won't solve anything. All the way to the west, the most important step that the poor monk needs to take is to face all the suffering, all the difficulties. In this way, we can unite knowledge and action. This is also the reason why the poor monk chose to know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tiger mountains. If you don't do this, how different will the poor monk be from the Buddha, and how can you talk about enlightenment?"

"I'm afraid you'll lose, this thing has lived for two hundred and seventy years, and your age is less than one-tenth of his, right?"

"Don't worry. Doesn't it mean that someone is afraid?"

The monkey stopped talking, sighed faintly, and sat crookedly with his body bowed.

The monks around all looked at Xuanzang intently, and the Venerable Jin Chi smiled slightly, and said: "Why is there only one word 'Buddha' missing in my Guanyin Monastery, and what does Master Xuanzang have to say, although the poor monks and my disciples are listening." ”

Xuanzang clasped his hands together, bowed to the golden pool, and then saluted to the monks around him, and said softly: "The root of a Buddhist cultivator lies in the word 'emptiness'. Therefore, the four major aggregates are empty, and the five aggregates are empty, and there is no emptiness, so how can you write the word 'Buddha'. Forgive the poor monk for being bold and blunt, even though there are thousands of houses in this Guanyin Monastery, there are towering temples, and there are floating temples in the clouds, in fact, what does it have to do with the word "Buddha"?"

After saying this, Jin Chi laughed on the spot. He smiled, and all the disciples laughed.

The monkey looked up at Xuanzang slightly, but saw that he was still indifferent.

He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, Jin Chi's eyes lowered, and he sighed leisurely: "The Buddha taught people to be monks, from the top to beg for the Dharma to practice the gods, and from the laity to beg for food to earn their bodies. Monks, beggars too. In my Guanyin Zen Temple, there are more than 10 gilded Buddha statues, and the disciples are dusting every day. More than ten gilded Buddha statues, several floating pagodas, a grass and a tree here, are donated by believers, this, offering also, is my heart of begging. One thing reflects two minds, and everything is done according to the Buddha nature, so how can the word 'Buddha' be missing? Isn't it that the Buddha can't lie?"

After saying that, the disciples laughed one after another.

"Rare and weird. The monkey also laughed, and quietly said to the little white dragon on the side: "This Buddha lied that they haven't seen it, but I have seen it." ”

Hearing this, the little white dragon pursed his lips, and his face changed slightly.

When the laughter gradually thinned, Xuanzang looked at Jin Chi and said softly: "Definitely." ”

"Isn't it?" Jin Chi was slightly stunned, frowned disapprovingly, and said, "Then, what is Master Xuanzang's opinion, can you tell me." ”

After clearing his throat, Xuanzang said in a low voice: "The poor monk thinks that these ten gold-plated Buddha statues just show that there is a lack of the word 'Buddha' in your temple. ”

For a while, the monks around them frowned one by one and whispered one by one.

Vaguely, Xuanzang even heard someone muttering in a low voice: "The words are all here, and they also impose justifications, hey, this Xuanzang is afraid that he is also the same as the monk who came to study a few days ago, with empty mouth and white teeth, and he doesn't recognize it if he loses reason." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. I have cultivated the Golden Buddha. Isn't it worshipping the Buddha yet? This Xuanzang must be jealous. ”

Listened to this. Xuanzang didn't speak, just stood quietly.

Jin Chi, who was sitting on the main seat, did not open his mouth to stop it, and looked at Xuanzang lightly, just waiting for Xuanzang to fall into an embarrassment.

It's a pity that from beginning to end, Xuanzang has an indifferent face, no matter how those disciples whisper, they are not moved.

Not much. The monks were finally a little quieter.

Xuanzang opened his mouth and said: "The Venerable Master Jinchi just said that this gilded Buddha statue was donated by believers. ”

"Exactly. ”

The Venerable Master Jinchi also said that the Buddha taught people to be bhikshus, to beg for the Dharma to practice the gods, and to beg for food for the laity. The metaphor of the two phases is Buddha-nature?"

Jin Chi nodded expressionlessly: "Exactly, could it be that Master Xuanzang doesn't agree?"

Taking a deep breath, Xuanzang asked softly: "Then Xuanzang dares to ask the Venerable Jinchi, this Golden Buddha." But what is a gift?"

"This ......" For a while, Jin Chi hesitated. The disciples around were also stunned.

I only heard Xuanzang continue: "This is said downward, if it is said upward, it will be begging from the beginning...... All the Buddhas are already empty of the four major aggregates and the five aggregates, and since they are empty, what is the difference between you respecting and disrespecting?"

Jin Chi's face had changed slightly, and he opened his mouth slightly, but he couldn't answer.

Xuanzang said again: "It doesn't matter if you have a body, and you don't care about worshiping the Buddha. If you cultivate the Golden Buddha and build the floating Buddha, you can write the word 'Buddha', and the bhikshus in the whole world can walk in the market, so why bother to cultivate?"

Jin Chi's face had changed several times, and the disciples were all looking at him cautiously, one by one worried.

The monkey on the side couldn't help but want to laugh.

It seemed that his previous worries were purely superfluous, and although this person in the Golden Pond was called a high monk, he had only lived in vain for two hundred and seventy years. Against Shang Xuanzang, he had no power to parry.

With his hands folded, Xuanzang said softly: "Whether it is the Golden Buddha, the floating temple, or the temple, all of them are flashy things, and the Venerable Master of Jinchi is the abbot, and the pursuit of such mundane things, praise is a beautiful talk, how can there be the word 'Buddha' in this Guanyin Zen Temple? In contrast, although Jinshan Temple is not as good as Guanyin Zen Temple everywhere, there is only one more word 'Buddha'. ”

After saying that, Xuanzang bowed slightly and saluted, and said with a faint smile: "Xuanzang is young and nonsense, and I ask the Master Jinchi to correct him." ”

At this point, the entire hall was already silent.

Everyone quietly looked at Jin Chi, and Jin Chi's face had already turned the color of pig liver.

After being silent for a long time, Jin Chi blinked his eyes blankly, took a deep breath and said with a little panic: "Master Xuanzang has come from afar to come really hard, why don't you ask Master Xuanzang to settle down in the Zen monastery first, cultivate a while, and then ...... There is an opportunity to argue in the future, and there is no hurry. ”

The brows of the disciples were all frowned.

Xuanzang nodded slightly and smiled faintly.

"Yes, yes, Master Xuanzang has a tired journey, so it's better to settle down first. One of the monk-like people hurriedly stood up, turned around and raised his hand and said, "Come on, hurry up and arrange accommodation for Master Xuanzang and prepare food." ”

The two monks hurriedly bowed down and ran to Xuanzang, clasped their hands together and said, "Master Xuanzang, please come with me." ”

"I'm tired. Xuanzang nodded silently, and when he turned around, he saluted Jinchi again: "Xuanzang is disturbed." ”

With that, he smiled faintly.

This smile is extremely kind and kind, but it is a different taste in the eyes of Jin Chi.

If Xuanzang had forced him to the corner of the cliff with words before, then this laugh was the kick that kicked him off the cliff.

Holding the teacup, his hands trembled violently.

In a panic, he had to quickly put down the teacup.

Out of the temple gate, the monkey whispered, "Well done, I will send him away in a few words, and I will save a stick." ”

Xuanzang just sighed softly: "It's a pity." ”

"What's a pity?"

"This Jinchi Master has studied Buddhist scriptures, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking monk, but it is a pity that he is addicted to mundane things, and he has not realized it. It's one. Second, the Venerable Master Jin Chi just said that he wanted to know why the golden cicada lost the golden body of the Buddha that day, but it was a pity that he couldn't argue the moment that it was introduced. ”

"This ...... Do you think he's too weak?" the monkey laughed.

Slowly shaking his head, Xuanzang said in a low voice: "If Xuanzang can wake him up with a slap in the face, how can he not mention it? It's a pity that he still hasn't come to his senses." ”

"Hey. You don't seem to have become a Buddha either. He looked at Xuanzang with a smile. The monkey whispered, "So." Isn't it a bit too much?"

"It's not that poor monks can't become Buddhas, it's that they don't want to become Buddhas. Glancing at the monkey, Xuanzang said softly: "With the poor monk's current cultivation, it is enough to cross him, but it is a pity that he may not be willing to accept the crossing of the poor monk, and the poor monk cannot stay here." Ultimately. He thought he had lost, but no one had won. The person who wants to cross has been sent to the poor monk......"

Speaking of this, Xuanzang couldn't help but sigh lightly.

This call immediately stunned the monkeys.

The monkey doesn't understand the affairs of Buddhism, but that Jin Chi is obviously here to find fault, and he is still crossing him? Is it necessary to be so good to the enemy?

......

In the meditation room, with the doors and windows closed, Jin Chi fell to his knees with his hands folded, while Manjushri sat cross-legged on a futon, quietly watching him.

"That Xuanzang is simply stubborn, he actually said that there is a lack of the word 'Buddha' in this Guanyin Zen Temple. He said that the Guanyin Monastery was not as good as his Jinshan Temple......! It is also said that the Buddha does not need to be worshiped by poor monks, and that the Golden Buddha is not a thing of merit...... It just doesn't make sense. How can that be?"

"If there is really a lack of the word 'Buddha' in this Guanyin Monastery, how can Venerable Manjushri come to the Monastery? If there is really a lack of the word 'Buddha' in this Guanyin Monastery, how can a poor monk have a lifespan of 270 years?"

"This Xuanzang has really entered the demon barrier, and it is no wonder that the golden body of the Buddha will be stripped of in his previous life! In this life, he is entangled in the demon monkey going west to slander the Buddha, which is really hateful, really hateful!"

After a pause, Jin Chi was already out of breath, but Manjushri still sat motionless, staring at him expressionlessly.

After a long time, Jin Chi was already a little stunned, he swallowed his saliva and said with a little panic: "Isn't Venerable Manjushri also agreeing with what Xuanzang said?"

Manjushri let out a long sigh, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Do you remember what the poor monk asked you to do?"

"His Holiness...... Venerable let the poor monk ......" Jin Chi blinked his red eyes and said: "The Venerable let the poor monk test Xuanzang and let him retreat." ”

Manjushri nodded silently and said softly, "Then you can just do it." ”

"What should I do...... How?"

"Do whatever you want. It doesn't matter how to do it. ”

Jin Chi hurriedly kowtowed: "The poor monk understands, the poor monk understands, Venerable Xie points to the maze, Venerable Xie points to the maze." The poor monk also has a killer feature that can make Xuanzang retreat from the difficulty, so the poor monk will prepare!"

With that, Jin Chi got up tremblingly, bowed out the door, and closed the wooden door.

Looking at the wooden door, Manjushri smiled slightly and sighed softly, "Actually, you never understood. ”

......

In the thirty-three heavens, the Jade Emperor frowned and said, "Pudu?"

"Yes. Li Jing bowed and said: "As far as the minister knows, what he argued that day was Pudu. In fact, strictly speaking, it cannot be said that the golden cicada was defeated. Mortals get rid of the eight sufferings and become Buddhas with obsession, and the golden cicada is confused by whether they should cross sentient beings. Once you have the idea of purifying sentient beings, you have an obsession, and you can't achieve that the four aggregates and five aggregates are empty, and you are no longer a Buddha. It can only be said that no one won the debate that day, and if the Buddha really persuaded the golden cicada, how could the golden cicada put his confusion into practice? Once the idea of purdue was really moved, the golden body of the Buddha would be lost. ”

"Purdue...... Ghost Festival. With his head down, the Jade Emperor kept silently reciting, his eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and he sighed softly: "Crossing people to become Buddhas, but you can't be a Buddha...... The doctrinal controversy, whether Xuanzang preaches or not, will not have much impact on my heavenly court, but if this matter spreads, it will definitely cause panic in the Daomen. If he really practices the method of Pudu, he must take a piece from the hands of the Taoists. ”

Speaking of this, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said: "This matter will be reported to Lao Jun by me for the time being, and Li Tianwang must not disclose it to the public, lest the Dao Sect make any moves, causing the demon monkey to be angry and angry with my heavenly court." ”

"Your Majesty, paper can't contain fire. ”

"It's a moment to hide it, I'll wait, just pretend not to know. ”

"No. ”

......

At this time, the monks in the Guanyin Monastery had vacated a courtyard and placed Xuanzang and his party in it.

After everything was ready to stop, a monk slowly came to Xuanzang and said, "Master Xuanzang, the food is ready, please eat." ”

Xuanzang clasped his hands together and nodded silently to the other party.

After all the monks in the monastery had left, the monkey slowly walked to Xuanzang's side with a pear in his hand and said, "What's the matter?"

"Let it be. Xuanzang said softly.

"Hey, you want to even want to cross this kind of person, you are busy along the way, let alone him, there is another one on the mountain next to him. ”

Xuanzang slowly looked at the monkey and said, "What do you say?"

"You don't know yet, do you? There's a great person in this temple. ”

"Oh?"

"It should be the number one person in the Buddhist sect platoon, I don't know who it is, and I don't bother to remember the breath of these people, anyway, it's not the Fa-Ming Rulai. While nibbling on the pear, the monkey said, "Also, what kind of golden pond has already left the Zen courtyard and gone to the Black Wind Mountain." ”

"What did he do in Blackwind Mountain?"

"Move the rescuers. I probably think that Wen's fight can't beat you, so I want to give it a try. They don't seem to know who I am. With that, the monkey put the pear core on the table, pointed at Xuanzang and said, "Ao Lie, take care of him." I'm going to take a trip. ”

With that, the monkey turned into a golden light and disappeared from the room in an instant.

......

At this time, outside a cave in Black Wind Mountain, a black bear spirit with a body of one foot and five feet, wearing shabby armor, was standing with Jin Chi.

The golden pond looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "This matter is personally instructed by Venerable Manjushri, if it is done, it will be a great achievement." If you want to join Buddhism, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

"Master, please rest assured, this matter is on me, but it's just a monkey spirit, how can I beat my black tassel gun!" The black bear spirit slammed the black tassel gun in his hand and said: "When it's late at night, I'll go over and tear that Xuanzang apart!"

"Okay!" Jin Chi stretched out his hand and patted the black bear spirit on the shoulder and said, "It's up to you, after the matter is completed, the poor monk will definitely speak for you in front of Venerable Manjushri!"

Bidding farewell to the golden pool, the black bear walked into the cave exquisitely, and when he looked up, he was completely stunned. The eyes were as big as copper bells, and beads of sweat the size of beans slowly slid down the bridge of their noses.

In the cave, a monkey squatted on the stone chair covered with vines that was not used all year round, and was looking at him, yawning lazily.

"You say, if I'm going to kill you now, won't Manjushri have time to save you?" (To be continued......
