When the four masters and apprentices came to the front of the Mahavira Treasure Hall, they saw 800 arhats and 3,000 truths all around, and the Bodhisattvas were all among them. At the end of the front, a golden lotus, there are twelve grades, and in each lotus petal, there is a world, inhabited by countless Buddhas, reciting scriptures sincerely, and the Sanskrit sound is immeasurable.

On top of the golden lotus, Sakyamuni sat on it, and the 129,600 divine rings behind his head emitted golden light, shining on all living beings, making the entire Da Lei Yin Temple, and even the entire spiritual mountain golden and clear, and the Dharma was boundless.

Tang Seng hurriedly bowed to the Buddha, bowed, and bowed to the left and right Arhats and Bodhisattvas, until he bowed again, and then knelt down to the Buddha. Sun Monkey and Zhu Gangguan and others did not have so much trouble, and only worshiped Shakyamuni Buddha.

"Disciple Xuanzang, at the behest of the Tang Emperor of Dongtu, came from afar to seek the scriptures, and hoped that the Buddha would be gracious to help all sentient beings. Tang Seng clasped his palms together and bowed respectfully. I saw the Buddha nodded: "Ah Da, Ka Ye, you two lead the four of them to the bottom of the Zhen Tower, first treat him with fasting, fast, open the treasure pavilion, and check a few volumes with him in the thirty-five parts of my three Tibetan scriptures." ”

The two Venerable Ones received the order and led the four masters and apprentices downstairs to lay out a feast. I saw that the fairy products, fairy dishes, fairy tea, fairy fruits, and delicacies were all complete, Zhu Gangguan knew that these were all good things, so he grabbed them and stuffed them into his mouth, Sun Monkey and Tang Seng knew his appetite, and they didn't grab it, so they laughed.

Sure enough, these immortal treasures turned into rolling spiritual power as soon as they were in their womb, nourishing Zhu Gangguan's whole body, and he felt that all the pores of his body were happy, and the imprisoned mana showed signs of loosening!

After eating a table of fasting and eating clean, Ah Ao and Jia Ye led the four of them into the treasure pavilion, only to see a scroll of scriptures, with a glow and a ruiqi that shrouded a thousand times; colorful mist and auspicious clouds filled the ten thousand ways! On the columns of scripture cabinets, red stickers were pasted to mark the names of the scriptures.

Ah Da and Jia Ye glanced at each other, and smiled at Tang Seng: "The holy monk is here." Who has anyone to send us? Take it out quickly, so that we may pass it on to you. Sun Monkey had the most anxious temper, and when he heard this, he said angrily: "We are monks, what are the personnel?"

Anyway. The monkey looked at Tang Seng: "Master, let's go to the Buddha and let him personally pass on the scriptures to the old grandson!"

Sun Monkey is really bold, even Ah Ao and Jia Ye were taken aback, and angrily reprimanded: "Splash monkey, what is this place." How can you let go wild!" With such righteous words, even Zhu Gang's eyelids jumped twice, thinking that these two were about to turn their faces and quarrel with their masters and apprentices.

But when he saw Ah Ao and Jia Ye, he changed his words: "Don't shout, come here to receive the scriptures!" Zhu Gangguan was speechless for a moment, where does this look like a Buddhist Venerable, but like a cunning businessman who has been crawling for many years!

Hearing this, Sun Monkey had to be patient, and the four masters and apprentices took the scriptures together, and collected them in their bags. Zhu Gangguan knew that this was the White Scripture. deliberately omitted a volume: "Oh, Lao Zhu has touched a lot of female goblins recently, and his hands are a little raw." ”

I saw the scriptures fall to the ground, and Tang Seng was about to scold, but he saw Zhu Gangguan "shocked" and said: "Master, there is no word in this volume!" Seeing this, Sun Monkey hurriedly opened the burden and flipped through another book: "Master, there are no words in this volume." ”

When I opened the whole text, it was a blank volume. There is not a single handwriting. Tang Seng was so frightened that he sat down on the ground: "What is the use of the poor monk retrieving such a wordless empty book? If you see King Tang, this is the crime of bullying the king, and it is not allowed to be punished!"

Sun Monkey was so angry that he jumped like thunder. Raising the golden hoop stick, he was about to hit the two Venerables Ah Da and Jia Ye, and the two were so frightened that they hurriedly escaped from the treasure pavilion. Zhu Gangguan stopped the monkey who was about to chase and beat, and said, "Brother Monkey, what's the use of beating him? Why don't you go and sue the Buddha and ask him for the crime of bribery and greed for money!"

Only then did the monkey head react: "Exactly, sue him!"

The four of them were furious. When he went to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Sun Monkey was anxious, and when he came up, he told Ah Tai and Jia Ye about teaching the White Sutra. But seeing that Shakyamuni smiled and said, "You don't shout, the two of them asked you about the situation, and I know it." The scriptures are not to be passed on lightly, nor to be taken lightly, and now you have taken them empty-handed, so that you have passed on the blank book. ”

After speaking, he called again: "Ah Ao, Ka Ye, soon there will be a text of the scriptures, each of which will check a few volumes with him, and come here to report the number." ”

Ah Ao and Jia Ye were really in the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and they were ordered to take the four Tang monks to His Excellency Zhenlou Bao, which would have the support of the Buddha, and even more blatantly asked the four Tang monks for personnel.

Even the irascible Sun Monkey was quite helpless, and finally gave the purple gold bowl to Ah Ao and Jia Ye, and only then did he pass on 5,000 and 48 volumes of the true scriptures with words, which is a number of collections. Wrap the scriptures in a bag and put them on the horse, and the Buddha ordered the Eight Great King Kongs to send the four Tang monks back to the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

After the four Tang monks left, Guanyin Bodhisattva clasped his palms and bowed to the Buddha and said: "World-honored, the disciple who was ordered to find the scriptures back then, and now he has succeeded, a total of 14 years, which is 5,000 and 40 days, and there are still eight days left. ”

Shakyamuni nodded: "Venerable Guanyin, what is the mind of the person who learns the scriptures along the way?" Hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva hurriedly presented a book, and the Buddha took it and opened it:

Closing the book, the Buddha said: "In my Buddhism, ninety-nine return to the truth, the person who learns the scriptures has suffered eighty difficulties, and there is one less difficulty, and this number cannot be completed." Guanyin Bodhisattva received the order, and then ordered Jiedi to catch up with the Eight King Kongs who escorted the four Tang monks, and received the supernatural powers, so that the four Tang monks fell to the ground together with their horses and scriptures.

Tang Seng was shocked, and when he heard Sun Monkey and a few people fighting, he said: "Let's stop fighting, recognize the direction, and see where this is." Monk Sha and Sun Monkey were watching, but only Zhu Gangguan knew: "Master, this is the Tongtian River." ”

This reminder, a few people only remembered, and it was indeed the Tongtian River Realm. was discussing how to cross the river, only to see an old turtle rising in the river, shouting: "Tang Shengseng, come here!" Zhu Gangguan had seen this old turtle in the Tongtian River, and he also knew that this was the last difficulty for the four of them, so he didn't remind him.

Sure enough, half of the river was crossed, because he didn't ask the old turtle how old it was, the four masters and apprentices were thrown into the river with the horse, and the horse was a white dragon horse, which naturally made it watery. The four Tang monks were reborn, not mortal, and they couldn't drown, only the scriptures were wet.

After crossing the Tongtian River, it is Chenjiazhuang. The four Tang monks had a night of menstruation here, and then left on the second day, and the eighty-one tribulations were over, and the eight King Kongs exerted their mana and flew to the east with the four of them.

But at this time, neither Sun Monkey nor Zhu Gangguan paid attention, and the stones of the gods in their bodies quietly disappeared. And the whole road of learning scriptures, in 108,000 miles, from the Huangfeng Ridge where Zhu Gangguan and Sun Monkey accepted the stone of the gods, to the foot of the Buddha Gate Ling Mountain, two divine lights shine brightly, like yin and yang are combined.

The Buddhas in the Great Lei Yin Temple were shocked, only the Buddha Gate Tribulation came, only the Buddha Shakyamuni looked into the air, clasped his palms and said: "Amitabha, don't panic, these two divine lights and even Yang, the way of Yin and Yang, the door of the Great Tribulation, must be opened by the prescription of the Yin." ”

As he was talking, he saw the whole bright moon turn into a huge black whirlpool, which was completely swallowed up! In ancient times, the sun was the sun, the moon was the yin, and even the land of yin!

The moonlight disappears, and the Three Realms shake!

In that pitch-black whirlpool, there was a kind of divine power that had never appeared in the Three Realms, like a gate to heaven, a supreme divine kingdom! At this time, the top powers of the Three Realms sensed one after another, and their eyes penetrated the void and fell on the pitch-black whirlpool, but they could not penetrate half a minute.

In the Great Thunder Yin Temple, Shakyamuni retracted his gaze and sighed softly: "Ten days later, this gate will be opened, and there will be some turmoil in the Three Realms." ”

"If Shakyamuni comes, is this gate the source of the great calamity?" I saw a huge golden wheel appear, and the Buddha who burned the lamp showed his true body, and the treasure was solemn. The Buddha shook his head: "I don't know. ”

(These eighty-one difficulties are really not for me to make up the number of words, just because some friends asked me why I didn't meet a few monsters in Journey to the West, but there are eighty-one difficulties?) In fact, it is not a difficulty to meet a monster, sometimes it is counted as a dilemma, which is clearly listed here.) (To be continued.) )
