"I know that when you left Lingshan, the Buddha gave you a few Buddha treasures in order to protect Jin Chanzi. Now the second of the five, if the person who learns the scriptures wants to reach the Lingshan smoothly, it may not be easy, how do you plan. The Buddha from the east was also subtle, and spoke directly to Guanyin.

"The disciple has selected three disciples for the scripture learner, and found a wrestling horse for him, and there are also four values of Gongcao, five directions to reveal the truth, six dings and six jia and seventeen to follow the night to protect the person who took the scriptures, I believe that the person who learns the scriptures can reach Lingshan safely. Guanyin explained after hearing this. She also understood the meaning of the Buddha from the east, that is, the two Buddha treasures that were lost, you don't want to come back, or think of other ways.

"That's not enough, it's far from enough!" said the Donglai Buddha as he shook his fan.

"Please make it clear to the Buddha!" Guanyin respectfully asked.

"Master Fahai's Dharma is profound, and his cultivation is profound, if he protects the people who learn the scriptures, he can be safe. The Buddha from the east did not ask Liu Neng's meaning, and directly gave an order.

"Master Fahai is indeed a good candidate, but ......" Guanyin glanced up at Liu Neng and hesitated.

"You don't agree!" said the Donglai Buddha smiled more and more happily.

"Disciple doesn't dare!" Guanyin Bodhisattva shuddered in fright: "Disciple is only afraid that Master Fahai is unwilling to take on this important responsibility." ”

"Fahai, what do you mean?" the Donglai Buddha turned his head to Liu Nengdao.

"What kind of pass is the Buddha from the East selling?" Liu Neng was puzzled and asked the medicine bowl.

"How do I know!" replied with a snort, "But you'd better promise the Buddha from the east, in case you annoy him, neither of us can stand it." ”

"Senior Brother Yao, you don't have to think about it. This Buddha wants to give you a chance to regain the Buddhahood. Just when Liu Neng wanted to speak, the voice of the Buddha from the East sounded in his ears: "If you come to Lingshan to personally order, the transmission of the scriptures is very important, but also to level the demon king near Lingshan, will come to Lingshan after the reward, reward the Buddha and the Bodhisattva, if you can take the lead here, this Buddha will protect you to return to Lingshan, return to the Buddha." ”

"Thank you Buddha for your advice, my disciple is willing to go!" Liu Neng replied.

"Very good! All the way, you just need to ensure that the scriptures are not dead, your main purpose is to ambush or kill the demon king, as long as your merit is the first, I guarantee that there will be your place among the Buddhas of Lingshan." Seeing Liu Neng's expression, the Donglai Buddha nodded with satisfaction, and then explained to Liu Neng.

"I don't want to be a Buddha when I arrive, I'm just afraid that you will clean me up. Liu Neng muttered to himself, and listened to the Donglai Buddha then said: "This Buddha hates yang and yin the most, or is a person who eats and waits for death, if you arrive at Lingshan, you can't achieve the Buddha, don't use it to destroy you, this Buddha will destroy you first." ”

"This is a threat!" Liu Neng was helpless, but he didn't expect that the Donglai Buddha would make a threat with a smile on the surface, and the threat was so reasonable.

"Guanyin, Fahai, Ben Buddha is also gone! Don't forget what you two promised me. After the Buddha from the east said a word, the Buddha left directly, leaving Liu Neng and Guanyin looking at each other.

"Master Fahai, I will arrange an opportunity for you to meet with the person who took the scriptures, after you worship him as a teacher, you must protect him well and go to the West Tianling Mountain to obtain the true scriptures, and don't let down the kindness of the Buddha from the east!" Guanyin thought for a moment and spoke.

"Master Guanyin, you let me worship that little fat man as a teacher?" Liu Neng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I just want to worship, does he dare to accept it? ”

"Fahai, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth. Hearing Liu Neng say this, Guanyin threatened.

"How did I forget that little fat man's master is the Buddha. Let Guanyin say this, Liu Neng reacted.

"I know it's impossible for you to worship the scriptures as a teacher, so it's better to let this Bodhisattva take in the apprentices on behalf of the teacher, what do you think?" Guanyin continued.

"Accept apprentices on behalf of the teacher!" Liu Neng was excited: "You said that you want to accept me as an apprentice for the Buddha!"

"That's right, I believe that Master will be very happy to know that there is such an apprentice as you. Guanyin nodded and smiled.

"If he doesn't get angry, he will come directly from Lingshan and kill me. Liu Neng muttered.

"By the way, I forgot one thing. Guanyin suddenly smiled slightly: "You are an introductory disciple of the Dizang Buddha, strictly speaking, I and the person who learned the scriptures are your uncle." ”

"Strictly speaking, am I still the reincarnation of Medicine Buddha?" Liu Neng could not go to Guanyin, and replied angrily.

"I only teach apprentices, not status. ”

"Master Guanyin, just spare me!" Liu Neng shook his head with a wry smile: "You don't have to accept apprentices on behalf of the teacher, and you don't have to use the Dizang Buddha to pressure me, I will be commensurate with the person who learns the scriptures as a brother, I will escort him to Lingshan wholeheartedly, and by the way, I will surrender the goblins along the way." ”

Now Lingshan is in chaos, the Buddha and the Buddha from the east are in their own ways, plus the old monarch is eyeing the tiger, and the Jade Emperor is not a fuel-efficient lamp. How could Liu Neng's annihilation stand in line so early, not to mention that he had only watched Journey to the West, God knows what happened after Journey to the West.

"That's fine! Please wait for Master Fahai, and after the scripture taker leaves the city, you can follow directly! I believe that with the relationship between you and the scripture learner, I don't need to introduce it again. Guanyin nodded at Liu Neng and agreed to his suggestion.

"Little fat man, you're out of luck! Liu Neng laughed, remembering Tang Seng's white and fat face.

Time flies very fast, just as described in the book, Tang Seng after the enlightenment of Buddhism, although he is a monk since childhood, but also has a deep understanding of Buddhism, in the water and land conference of the seven days of the meeting, the lecture is about smallpox, since the Tang Emperor, civil and military officials and the people listened to it is overjoyed, cheering loudly.

Just when Tang Seng was drunk, Guanyin walked to the edge of the high platform with a wooden fork, slapped the treasure platform loudly and shouted: "That monk, you only talk about Hinayana teachings, but can you talk about Mahayana?"

Tang Seng was confused when he heard this, turned over and jumped off the high platform, and said: "This master, the poor monk only learned the Hinayana teachings, but he didn't know what the Mahayana teachings were?"

Guanyin smiled coldly: "The Hinayana teachings cannot exalt the dead, but only the vulgar and light." I have the Mahayana Buddhism Sanzang, which can transcend the deceased and ascend to heaven, overcome the suffering of others, cultivate immeasurable longevity, and be able to do nothing and come and go. ”

Li Shimin was sitting not far from the treasure platform, and the purpose of his water and land conference was to transcend the soul of the dead and make the Tang Dynasty immortal. He knew these two monks, although because the two monks led out a demon monk to make trouble in the Golden Palace, but fortunately there was no end to it, and then he heard the two of them say that Tang Seng said that the Dharma could not transcend the deceased and ascend to heaven, so it would lose his original intention of convening a water and land conference.

Startled, he hurriedly walked down from the throne, hurriedly walked to Guanyin's side, and said, "I don't know where the three treasures of Mahayana Buddhism are?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said proudly: "In the Daxi Tianzhu National Da Lei Yin Temple, my Buddha is like a place to come, 108,000 miles away. ”

"So far!" Tang Huang said in surprise.

"As long as you are in awe, the moat is also a smooth road. Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled slightly, showed his treasure body, and rose into the air with Hui'an.

Everyone didn't expect that the Bodhisattva would appear in person, and from Li Shimin down, all of them bowed down.

Li Shimin was a sigh in his heart, and at this moment, his first reaction was to think of Liu Neng. This monk is the manifestation of the Bodhisattva, but what about the demon monk? Could it be that the demon king is not successful, and he even dares to rob the Bodhisattva's things, and what else does he dare not do? Hurriedly bowed down and said: "The Bodhisattva Rongyu, there are people in the palace who worship before, and I hope that the Bodhisattva will guide the maze." ”

"Fahai, you guy who has not achieved enough and has more than enough to lose. Guanyin Bodhisattva cursed in his heart. In her original plan, after the manifestation of the Buddha, Li Shimin naturally believed her words ten out of ten, and immediately sent someone to the West Heaven to learn scriptures.

Although Guanyin Bodhisattva secretly scolded in his heart, his expression did not show it at all, and he pretended to be mysterious: "The three volumes of Mahayana Buddhism can solve the knot of a hundred injustices and eliminate the disaster without vain." As long as the Tang Emperor is dedicated to the Buddha, all evil will naturally not be invaded. Then he drifted away with Hui An.

"Solve the knot of a hundred grievances and eliminate the disaster of no reason. Li Shimin muttered in his heart, and suddenly realized: "I originally only wanted to buy the Zen staff and robe, but I provoked the evil monk in vain, which is a disaster without reason." ”

When Li Shimin thought of this, he was so anxious that he couldn't wait to get the true scriptures immediately, so he spoke directly: "Just now the Bodhisattva pointed out the maze, and I was very happy, and I decided to send someone to ask for the true scriptures. Who is willing to receive my will and go to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures?"

In the original book, Tang Seng did not know that Liu Hong was his biological father at this time, and misheard the words of his master's Fa Neng, so he went to Chang'an to report the news, sent 600,000 yuan to the Imperial Forest Army, and arrested Liu Hong and his wife. It's not enough to behead Liu Hong, Yin Wenjiao also jumped to his death. He has profound Dharma, and he always feels that this matter is not right, and it is because all his thoughts are disillusioned that he will take the initiative to seek the true scriptures. But this life is different, his parents are still in the world, and in Datang, he was forced to become a monk by Liu Neng. Hearing Emperor Tang's question, he was like a stuffy gourd, looking at his nose and mouth, and his mouth and heart, standing there without saying a word.

He didn't speak, and there was no one around him to speak, which made Tang Emperor Li Shimin anxious, looked around and said, "Isn't there a Aiqing who solves my worries?"

No one is stupid, Xitianling Mountain is 108,000 miles away from Datang, not to mention wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, and demons and monsters are rampant, it is this thing that has not been able to go home for more than ten years, it is enough for everyone to drink a pot. It was Emperor Tang who asked questions again and again, and everyone present just didn't hear it, and no one said anything.

No one spoke, but Prime Minister Wei Zheng was in a hurry, and he had a share of the credit for arranging this matter. The reason why he dreamed of killing the old dragon of Jingjing was to let him carry his head to scare Tang Emperor Li Shimin to death, and then together with the magistrate of the prefecture, he planned to scare the Tang Emperor, so that the Tang Emperor would hold a land and water conference as soon as he woke up, and the deceased ascended to heaven, and now everything is ready, and at the most critical moment, Tang Seng, who should have taken the initiative, actually came to Xu Shu to enter Cao Ying, and without saying a word, he stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to protect one person, and with him on the horse, he will definitely be able to retrieve the true scriptures. ”

Emperor Tang was overjoyed when he heard this, since no one volunteered, then he had to order a general, so he said: "Wei Qing's family, please speak!"

"The minister is not someone else, but the son of Chen Guangrui, the lord of Jiangzhou, Chen Xuanzang's ** teacher!"

Tang Seng was furious when he heard this, although he was timid, but that was only for Liu Neng, now Wei Zheng bullied his head, and he also stood up and called, and said: "Your Majesty, the little monk is also willing to protect one person, with him out of the horse, he will definitely be able to retrieve the true scriptures smoothly." ”

"Master Chen Xuanzang, please speak!" Li Shimin is still very clear about cooking, and when he heard that Chen Xuanzang also wanted to protect others, he immediately agreed.

"Prime Minister Wei Zheng, loyal to the country, strong mana, once killed the old dragon of Jingjing, with him out, he will definitely be able to successfully obtain the true scriptures. ”

"The two of them did it!" The people around him laughed secretly when they heard this, they didn't expect this little monk to look white and fat, and he was very ruthless, if you protect me, I will protect you, and I will also take out your previous past as evidence, which is much more important than Wei Zheng's protection.

Wei Zheng sneered, bowed forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember Chen Guangrui, the new champion of the new department eighteen years ago?"

"Naturally, I remember that the governor of Jiangzhou is the father of Master Xuanzang!" Tang Huang was stunned when he heard this, and replied subconsciously.

"Chen Guangrui and his wife have been in Jiangzhou for 18 years, and they have made Jiangzhou governance full of flowers, and they have left no stone unturned. Wei Zhengyin smiled predictively.

Tang Seng was shocked when he heard this, looked at Wei Zheng with hatred, and kept scolding this old immortal in his heart, at this time, he moved out of the matter of Liu Hong and his wife, obviously trying to use this method to force himself to agree to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures.

"Little fat man, don't be afraid! If you ignore him, it's all on me. Just when Tang Seng was about to agree to learn the scriptures, he heard a voice in his ears that made him extremely afraid.

Although Tang Seng was afraid of Liu Neng, he also knew that this evil monk was scheming and vicious, and since he let himself do this, he must rely on it. So he said directly: "The poor monk hasn't seen his parents for a long time, and he misses it very much, thank you to Prime Minister Wei for protecting it." ”

Wei Zheng was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Tang Seng to react like this, and then he heard Tang Seng say again: "Your Majesty, Lord Wei was still thinking about state affairs before going to the West Heaven to learn scriptures. ”

After that, Tang Seng respectfully gave three big gifts to Wei Zheng.

"Good! good!" Li Shimin saw this situation and praised repeatedly: "Prime Minister Wei Cheng is really a loyal and virtuous man, he is not afraid of long distances, trekking mountains and rivers, and I am willing to respect you as a brother with you." ”

After that, Li Shimin stepped down from the throne directly and bowed to Wei Zheng four times: "Kouzun Imperial Brother Prime Minister!"

Wei Zhengqi's eyes were about to pop out, but he didn't expect that in addition to Liu Neng, there was another slippery monk in this world, and he looked very honest and chubby, but the deception was more serious than Liu Neng's, and he was sent out by Emperor Tang to learn the scriptures before he could come out.

The matter has been decided, Li Shimin is very relieved, and then said: "Chen Guangrui of Xuanjiang Prefecture, Yin Wenjiao and his wife went to the court to see each other, and I want to entrust them with important tasks." ”

Although Tang Seng harmed Wei Zheng, there was a stone in his heart that did not fall to the ground, and he didn't know how the matter of Liu Hong and his wife ended, but when he heard Tang Huang say this, he couldn't, so he could only thank Tang Huang for his kindness.

The Tang Emperor did two things in a row in one day, and his heart was very happy, and then he ordered another sentence, so that Qin Tian supervised the play, saying that three days later, it was the Zodiac auspicious said, so he ordered a banquet to be held after three days to see off Wei Zheng and Wei Cheng.

"Little fat man, how are you going to thank me. After the crowd dispersed, Tang Seng was about to go back to the Transformation Temple, but he didn't expect that he had just walked around a street corner and saw Liu Neng.

"Law...... Master Fahai: I'm seeing you. Tang Seng thought about his parents, and after seeing Liu Neng, he threw away all the fears in his heart and said a word of surprise to him.

"Shibei San, you are impressed! You are not afraid of me. Liu Neng smiled and hugged Tang Seng's shoulder: "Say, what do you want to do with your parents' affairs." ”

Tang Seng's lips trembled, and he really wanted to question Liu Neng: "Obviously you asked me to do this, why did it become what I want to do now?" But he really didn't dare, Liu Neng's horror had been deeply engraved in the depths of his heart, and he woke up in the middle of the night countless times, all of which made Liu Neng wake up. He could only turn his head and make a Buddhist salute at Liu Neng and said, "Master Fahai, please help me!"

"It's no problem to help you!" Liu Neng nodded, and then said with a straight face: "After helping you, how are you going to thank me." ”

"I have no long things, I can't repay in this life, and I will be ...... in the next life," Tang Seng said with a bitter face.

As soon as he was halfway through his words, Liu Neng stretched out a finger and stood on his lips: "Don't mention the next life, just mention this life, how are you going to thank me!"

"I don't have anything to ......," Tang Seng explained in embarrassment.

"That's it!" Liu Neng patted him on the shoulder: "I want you to make a vow to the Buddha of the West Heaven, you must listen to me honestly in this life, and you will do whatever I ask you to do." ”

"Ah!" Tang Seng hesitated at that time.

"What, don't you want to?" Liu Neng glared: "Then you can find a way to go by yourself!"

Tang Seng made Liu Neng cry, he let him not learn the scriptures, but he turned his head and used this matter to force himself to listen to him, which is simply too bullying and shameless.

Although Tang Seng was full of resentment, he didn't dare to express it, so he could only explain resignedly: "Master Fahai, it's not that I don't agree. It's just that the great vow is an important oath, and the matter we are talking about does not seem to be qualified to make this great vow. ”

"Isn't the Buddha big?" Liu Neng retorted: "Is there anyone in the world who is bigger than him? ”

Tang Seng was forced to be helpless, so he had to swear to the sky: "If the Buddha is above, the disciple Chen Xuanzang swears here, listen to the words of Master Fahai all his life, if he violates it, he is willing to fall into the infernal hell, and he will not be reborn forever." ”

"I really don't know it, hell is long gone. Listening to Tang Seng's oath, Liu Neng pursed his lips and did not correct him again, it is estimated that if he explains all these things thoroughly, even if the Buddha is busy working in Lingshan, he will come across the border and kill himself regardless of everything.
