Time flies, and eighteen years pass in a blink of an eye.

Eighteen cold and summer months from spring to winter are enough to change many things. However, the controversy over Buddhism and Taoism in the world is still going on.

Jiangzhou Jinshan Temple, in the Seven Poles Buddha Hall, the peacock Rulai sits cross-legged in the middle of the main hall. This seven-level Buddha hall is the place where the Buddhas are enshrined in Jinshan Temple, and outside his body, surrounded by a statue of the golden Buddha. Each of these Buddha statues is tall and reaches the top of the hall, but there is a peacock sitting in the hall, and those Buddha statues that are usually full of golden light are all dark and dull today.

There was a rush of footsteps from far and near, and two monks, an old man and a young monk, entered the hall through the gate.

"Buddha, Xuanzang bring!" "The abbot of Jinshan Temple, Fa Ming, came to the peacock and paid homage.

"Stand down!" The peacock didn't raise his eyelids, and directly ordered Fa Ming to retreat.

Even so, Fa Ming didn't dare to have the slightest resentment on his face, and respectfully bowed to the peacock Rulai and withdrew from the main hall.

After Fa Ming went out, the little monk named Xuanzang learned from Fa Ming just now, and kowtowed to the peacock Rulai, "Uncle Shi is above, please accept the disciple's worship!"

"Jin Cicada, are you good in the world?" Peacock Rulai opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to help Xuanzang.

This Xuanzang is the reincarnation of the golden cicada, is the protagonist of Buddhism through the East Land, since the day of reincarnation, the eighteen-year period is approaching, the peacock Rulai is now personally in the lower realm, to help Xuanzang.

"Uncle Hui, the disciple is fine. ”

"That's good. Peacock Rulai nodded, and then the sleeves of the robe were rolled, and two rays of light flew out of his sleeves and landed in front of Xuanzang, turning into a staff and a robe.

"Uncle Shi, this is ......" Xuanzang had vaguely guessed that these two treasures were given to him, but in front of the peacock Rulai, he could only endure the joy in his heart and pretend to be calm.

Peacock Rulai said lightly: "These two treasures." The brocade robe and the nine-ring tin staff are the things that the senior brother gave you to protect yourself on the way to learn the scriptures and pass on the scriptures. ”

"Thank you, teacher, uncle!"

Peacock Rulai nodded slightly, "You have been reincarnated for eighteen years, and your supernatural powers and mana have not been restored, senior brother, he has found a helper for you." After you leave Chang'an, you can go to the Four Elephant Pagoda through Hangzhou and release the monkeys in the tower. ”

Although Xuanzang's status in Buddhism in his previous life was not high, as a disciple of Sakyamuni's assistant, he still knew some secrets of Buddhism. He knew who the monkey in the mouth of the peacock Rulai was. I also know the identity of the monkey. Listening to Peacock Ru say that the monkey was arranged for him to help, Xuanzang was secretly happy in his heart, and he had a little more confidence in the upcoming scriptures.

Xuanzang has confidence in Sun Wukong, not because of how capable Sun Wukong is, but because of Sun Wukong's dual identity. I don't know what kind of shit luck this monkey has taken, but he has an extraordinary relationship with the two saints. Don't mention the Buddha's mother, that is Sun Wukong's art teacher. The most important thing is that the leader of the demon sect, Nuwa Niangniang, is a master of the demon sect today. On the way from the human world to the Pure Land, I don't know how many demon clans you will encounter. But as long as it is a demon clan, you have to give Nuwa Niangniang face, and you won't be embarrassed for Sun Wukong. It won't be hard for yourself.

This is, Peacock Rulai still wanted to tell Xuanzang two sentences, but just as he was about to speak, he stopped speaking. Snorted coldly.

Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, and looked outside the main hall, it turned out that it was the monk Faming who went and returned.

I saw that the peacock was unhappy. Xuanzang secretly said that it was going to be bad, and hurriedly said to Peacock Ru: "Uncle Shi, Abbot Faming will not go and return for no reason...... As soon as he said this, Xuanzang felt wrong, raised his head to meet the cold gaze of Peacock Rulai, and hurriedly stepped aside, bowing his head and not daring to say more.

With a light snort, the peacock's eyes were like electricity, and he stabbed at Monk Faming.

As soon as the monk Faming entered the main hall, the whole person was like falling into an ice cave, standing with cold hair, trembling and frightened in front of the peacock Rulai, three feet away, wanting to move forward, but the two feet did not obey the call, and they couldn't take a step at all.

Seeing Fa Ming's predicament, Xuanzang, who was brought up by him after reincarnating in the world, broke the siege for him, "Is there something wrong with the elder?"

Glancing at Xuanzang gratefully, Fa Ming stood in the distance and said: "There are monks from the White Horse Temple who came to Jiangzhou from Chang'an outside, and one of them claimed to be the deceased of the Buddha. ”

"Huh?" Peacock Rulai raised his eyebrows and murmured, "Who will the old man be?" ”

"The Buddha waited, and the little monk went to invite him in. After getting the Peacock Rulai's order, Fa Ming turned around and left, the abbot of Jinshan Temple simply didn't want to stay in front of the Peacock Rulai for a moment.

Abbot Faming went to invite guests, and the peacock Rulai put his hands on his knees, and the cold light in his eyes turned.

Just now I heard Fa Ming say that an old man came to the door, and the peacock secretly calculated, but he found nothing. Although he hasn't seen his old friend yet, the peacock can feel that the person who came is definitely friend or foe.

When Fa Ming returned to the main hall, a young monk stood in front of Fa Ming. In front of him, not behind him, Nafa Ming respectfully followed behind this young monk, which is enough to show that this person's identity is by no means ordinary.

The young monk and the peacock Rulai looked at each other, with a smile like a spring breeze on their faces, and the young monk folded his hands and saluted the peacock Rulai, "The poor monk Yuanjue, I have seen the Buddha! I haven't seen the Buddha for many years, and I am really fortunate to be a Buddha!." ”

The peacock didn't reply, his eyes stared at Yuanjue like an eagle falcon, and the gaze that made Fa Ming like a mang's back, but Yuanjue accepted it calmly and smiled at each other.

Half a sound, the peacock Rulai laughed, pointed to Yuan Jue and said, "It turned out to be you, it turned out to be you!" After speaking, the peacock Rulai pointed with his hand, and a colorful air flow rushed up on the bluestone slab on the ground of the main hall, and the air flow turned into a five-color lotus platform.

Peacock Rulai raised his hand and signaled, "In front of me, you can sit!"

"Thank you Buddha!" Monk Yuanjue folded his hands, saluted the peacock Rulai, and sat on the five-colored lotus platform.

Sitting down on the lotus platform, the monk Yuanjue said to the peacock: "For the matter of passing on the scriptures, the Buddha has worked tirelessly to come to the world, and Yuanjue has thanked the Buddha on behalf of my Buddha!"

"Hmph...... Hahaha......" Peacock Rulai first snorted coldly, and then laughed on his back.

Hearing the strong mockery in the peacock Rulai's laughter, Monk Yuanjue was not angry, and waved his hand to signal Fa Ming to retreat.

It seemed that he had laughed enough, and Peacock Rulai's gaze fell back on Yuan Jue, "Okay, let's say, why did you come to see me today?"

"This peacock is still this temper. Yuan Jue was slightly stunned, thinking to himself.

"Huh?" Seeing that Yuanjue didn't speak, the peacock raised his eyebrows, and the colorful glow in his pupils flowed.

The temperature in the main hall dropped below freezing in an instant, Rao is Xuanzang had just been reincarnated, and his cultivation had not yet recovered to the level of his previous life, and he also felt that the hall was filled with a thick murderous aura.

Seeing that the peacock Rulai looked like he was about to go berserk, Monk Yuanjue couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, the person in front of him was different from his senior brother. If Shakyamuni is here, it's okay to say something or make a little gesture. And at this time, there is a peacock Rulai, if he is really angered, he will die in vain here.

Thinking of this, Monk Yuanjue couldn't help but secretly regret why he came here today to meet Peacock Rulai. I've endured it for thousands of years, how can I make such a mistake when I see that I'm about to come out.

Seeing the red, green, yellow, white, and black lights flowing behind the peacock Rulai, the monk Yuanjue was completely panicked, and threw Xuanzang a look for help, and the monk Yuanjue hoped that Xuanzang could say a few good words for himself, and then the peacock Rulai could let himself go in the face of his nephew.

Seeing the expectant eyes of the monk Yuanjue, Xuanzang was very helpless, he had been waiting for Sakyamuni and Peacock for many years, how could he not know what kind of temper his uncle had. Especially when he is angry, I am afraid that only his teacher Shakyamuni can persuade him.

What makes Xuanzang entangled is that he can't ignore the Yuanjue monk.

In desperation, Xuanzang could only take a step forward, bow to the peacock, and said, "Uncle Shi......"

"Shut up!" Before Xuanzang could say a word, he was interrupted by Peacock Rulai. The peacock looked at Xuanzang, "If you dare to say one more word, you will be scattered!"

Xuanzang directly held back the words that had not yet been spoken, and knelt on the ground with his legs bent, his forehead touched the ground, and sweat flowed down the tip of his nose on the bluestone slab.

"Buddha...... Buddha, Buddha don't be angry, and listen to the little monk's words!" This Yuanjue monk is not an ordinary person, knowing that blindly not speaking is not the solution, and he trembled and explained in a hurry.

Without concealing his murderous intentions, Peacock Rulai looked at Yuan Jue coldly, "I have been enlightened since the Emperor's reign, and no one has dared to play prestige in front of me in the past ten million years! Why, don't you can't help it when you see that my senior brother is about to return to the east?

"Buddha, I don't know, about a thousand years ago, when the sect leader was in the world, the little monk was fortunate to have a relationship with the sect leader. Yuanjue didn't dare to show off anymore this time, and said honestly.

"Go on!" As if the sun was lifting the dark clouds, the peacock Rulai's face changed instantly.

Although he saw that the peacock Rulai's face was gentle, the murderous aura surrounding him was still like substance, and Monk Yuanjue knew that if he said the wrong word, he would probably have to fold here today.

"It's not good, I've been calculated!" Yuan Jue's heart suddenly trembled, and he finally understood, looking at the peacock with a smile in the corner of his eyes, Yuan Jue figured out everything. But it's too late, who let himself plunge into someone's trap, and now it's too late to leave.

Yuan Jue's heart is called a grievance, he has been in the world for so many years, and he has also seen Orion set up traps to hunt. Those prey fell into the trap, at least they could get a piece of bait, but they didn't get anything, so they stupidly plunged into the trap.

Knowing that it would not be possible not to give Peacock Rulai an answer today, Yuanjue took a deep breath and was about to speak. But at this moment, Yuan Jue trembled violently and laughed.

Seeing the smile on Yuanjue's face again, Peacock Rulai was slightly stunned, pinched his fingers, and smiled, "Maitreya, do you have a fellow brother, when I don't have one?" (To be continued......)
