Chapter 5 Determined to go west in search of the true scriptures
"Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan, hehe, I see. This matter is really getting more and more interesting, it seems that the failure of Buddhism this time is not without reason, there is a powerful shot behind Sun Wukong, which changed the established fate of Sun Wukong. ”
Looking at Zhou Yan in the distance, Tang Sanzang's face also showed a mysterious smile, it seemed that just when Sun Wukong's name was changed to Zhou Yan, he saw something about Zhou Yan. It is really worthy of being called the disciple whose wisdom is closest to the Buddha in the Western Heaven Buddhism in his previous life, and in such a short moment, he thought of many things, even very close to the truth, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
I don't know if Zhou Yan would have been annoyed in his heart if he had known because of his casual words, which made Tang Sanzang think of so many things, he would be annoyed in his heart and blame himself for being too talkative.
After Zhou Yan left in a dashing manner, Tang Sanzang woke up Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, who were still in a coma.
"Master, has that demon monkey been recovered by you? My old pig just knows that Sun Wukong's little demon monkey is not your opponent at all, the master must be three moves and two ways to beat Sun Wukong down", Zhu Bajie, who woke up, first glanced around with his eyes, and found that he did not see any trace of Zhou Yan, his face was happy, showing a bright smile, and hurriedly stepped forward to compliment Tang Sanzang.
"Master, you don't have anything to do, right?, didn't that demon monkey hurt you, why is the aura on your body so weak, it's like, it's like an ordinary mortal", or Sha Wujing's mind was more delicate, he first looked at Tang Sanzang, felt that something was wrong with Tang Sanzang, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Yes, master, are you okay!", hearing Sha Wujing's condolences, Zhu Bajie woke up like a dream as if he wanted to show his loyalty, and hurriedly greeted.
"Wujing, Bajie, you have a heart, there is nothing to do as a teacher, it's just that your own cultivation is completely lost, it's not a big deal. As for Sun Wukong, he was ashamed of his teacher and did not take it down, but he let him go as a teacher", Tang Sanzang shook his head and said flatly.
"What, master, that splashing monkey actually ran away, and you have lost all your cultivation, then master, haven't you become a mortal now", Zhu Bajie said in surprise.
"Bajie, you are right, this is no longer the previous monk Chen Xuanzang who came from Western Heaven Buddhism and has profound Buddhism, but now he is just an ordinary mortal monk 'Tang Sanzang'. If you two want to repent, you can stop following the poor monk, and the poor monk will not blame you. After all, now the poor monk is only a mortal, and he can't protect you at all, maybe the poor monk will need your protection in the future", Tang Sanzang looked at Zhu Bajie with flickering eyes, and Sha Wujing, who was a little depressed, and said in a very calm tone.
With a "bang", the former general of the Heavenly Court Righteous God Curtain Shutter, now Sha Wujing knelt down in front of Tang Sanzang, kowtowed heavily to Tang Sanzang, and said in a firm tone: "Master, I don't care if you are called 'Sanzang' or 'Xuanzang' now, whether you are a Heavenly Immortal Bodhisattva or an ordinary mortal. I only know that it was you who saved me when my primordial spirit sank and my mind was not open, and it was you who resolutely took me in when I was desperate and disregarded my identity as a traitor in the heavenly court. Now, and even in the future, you are my Sha Wujing master, and this will never change, unless you personally expel me from the master, otherwise, I will not leave you. If you don't have mana to cultivate, it doesn't matter, we still have it. In the future, we will definitely protect the safety of the master and use our strength to help the master regain his own strength. ”
"That's right, master. Although my Zhu Bajie seems to be a little useless, I will definitely do my best to protect the safety of my master. Master, you can rest assured, in the future, you will still have me and Lao Sha, our brothers and sisters will not let you down", Zhu Bajie saw Sha Wujing kneeling in front of Tang Sanzang, and said such a thing righteously, his eyes rolled, he gritted his teeth, and then knelt in front of Tang Sanzang, and said as if he was hard.
Hearing the reply of the two of them, even Tang Sanzang, who was now calm as water, had a slight ripple in his heart, and a smile of relief involuntarily appeared on his face, I really didn't accept the wrong person.
"Hahaha, in fact, you don't have to do this great gift, although the teacher has lost his mana now, it doesn't mean that the teacher has no way to recover his cultivation, it's just that this method is a little difficult, and it is not easy for people who don't have great perseverance and determination to complete this matter, so the teacher asked if you want to leave here", Tang Sanzang said with a smile.
"It turns out that master, you really still have a way to restore your cultivation, I don't know what you need your apprentices to do?
"This matter, you alone can't do it, we need the three of us to work together to complete this matter," Tang Sanzang said mysteriously.
"Master, I don't know what the hell is going on?", Sha Wujing asked.
Tang Sanzang raised his left hand, pointed to the west where the bright moon was fading, his eyes seemed to see through the endless void, he saw the Buddha realm of Lingshan, and said: "In the Western Heaven Elysium, the World Venerable once said that there are Buddhist scriptures Sanzang, which are the scriptures of cultivation, the door of righteousness and goodness, and the foundation of Buddhism. I want to go to the Western Heavenly Elysium and ask the World-Honored One for the Three Tibetan Sutras, and use it as the basis to re-enter the path of cultivation and attain my path. ”
"Master, then what are we waiting for, the two of us will take the master to use the method of soaring clouds and fog to quickly go to the Lingshan Buddha Realm, and ask the Buddha for the master to obtain the true scriptures", Zhu Bajie was a little impatient to act.
"Master, I think this matter should not only be about reaching the Lingshan Buddha Realm and the Western Heaven Elysium, otherwise, with the cultivation of the two of us, it will only take a few days to reach the Great Leiyin Temple in the Lingshan Buddha Realm, which is not difficult at all", Sha Wujing stopped Zhu Bajie's eagerness to try, and asked calmly.
Tang Sanzang glanced at Sha Wujing approvingly, and said: "What Wujing said is right, although this matter is indeed to the Lingshan Buddha Realm of the Western Heaven Elysium, just see the World Venerable. However, in the matter of subduing Sun Wukong, in the final analysis, it was a mistake for the teacher, and the layout of our Buddhism for a thousand years was in vain, so simply go back to Lingshan, and the Shizun will not forgive him as a teacher. As a teacher, he decided to use the method of mortals, to meet mountains and rivers, and to go to Lingshan step by step, so as to witness the firm Buddha heart of the teacher, and let the world know the persistence of the teacher, which will not only be a road to learn scriptures, but also a road to hone the Buddha's heart. ”
"Master, please rest assured, no matter how bumpy and tortuous the road ahead is, our two brothers and sisters will definitely accompany you all the way to Xitianling Mountain," Sha Wujing said firmly.
"In that case, then let's go, the destination is West Tianling Mountain", Tang Sanzang waved his sleeves and strode forward.
"Sanzang", a sudden ethereal voice came into Tang Sanzang's ears.
Immediately afterwards, in front of Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice, a woman standing on the nine-rank white lotus platform and wearing a plain white robe appeared, and behind the plain white robe, a majestic and heroic man stood on the left side.
"It turned out to be the great and compassionate Guanyin Master, I don't know what you have to tell the poor monk", seeing the visitor, Tang Sanzang's face showed a smile and asked.
"Jin Chanzi, your determination, although the World Venerable is only in the Lingshan Buddha Realm, he has clearly understood. It's just that just the three of you are going to the west to learn scriptures like this, it's too risky, and I think you should know the reason very well," Guanyin Bodhisattva said pointedly.
"The poor monk understands that although the poor monk has lost all his mana in the current dantian qi sea, even the mana relics have dissipated. However, after the rebirth of Nirvana, part of the mana of the poor monk in his previous life has not really dissipated, but has been integrated into every flesh and blood of the poor monk's body. Therefore, this trip to the West Heaven will not be easy, but will be coveted by many monsters", Tang Sanzang said in a relaxed tone.
"That's right, that's why. Therefore, I am here to help you today, and I hope that you will be able to return to the Western Heaven Elysium again and become a true Buddha in the Western Heavenly Buddhism," Guanyin said expectantly.
"Oh, I don't know how Master Guanyin wants to help the poor monks," Tang Sanzang asked calmly.
Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled slightly, and the willow branch in his hand swept towards Tang Sanzang's body, and three soft Buddha lights fell into Tang Sanzang's hands and body.
The Buddha's light dissipated, a purple-gold bowl appeared in Tang Sanzang's left hand, a golden Zen staff appeared in his right hand, and the original shabby monk's robe on his body was also renewed, turning into a red robe.
"This is?", looking at the three items on his body that contained the Dharma and the Buddha nature was obscure, Tang Sanzang asked strangely.
"Golden Cicada, because of your Buddha's nature, you have to go to Lingshan step by step, even I can't give you too much help for yourself, I can only give you some help from external objects. These three items are the Purple Gold Bowl, the Nine-Ring Tin Staff, and the Brocade Robe, and the food in this Purple Gold Bowl will always be in the state when you put it in, which can solve your daily diet. This brocade robe, embedded with seven treasures, water and fire do not invade, can defend oneself, wear this robe, avoid reincarnation. This nine-ring tin staff, held in the hand, will not be poisoned", Guanyin Bodhisattva said with a smile.
"Little monk Sanzang, thank you again for Master Guanyin", Tang Sanzang bowed and thanked him
