Chapter 0044 Learn the true meaning of the scriptures, the monkey is murderous
At the foot of the Two Realms Mountain, Tang Sanzang and Sun Xingzhi were eating roast rabbit meat.
The golden roast rabbit meat was delicious, and the corners of the mouths were oily when two people ate it.
One person and two roast rabbits were in their stomachs, and Tang Sanzang and Sun Xingzhi didn't burp!
Both of them are very good at eating.
Don't look at Sun Xingzhi's small size, four feet, only about the height of an eight-year-old child, but he eats a lot.
Finally, the last piece of rabbit meat entered Sun Xingzhi's mouth.
Tang Sanzang wiped his mouth with unfinished thoughts and asked, "Monkey, the taste of this herbivore beast is really good, is it a unique little beast of the Two Realms Mountain?"
"Yes, Master!" the walker had meat in his mouth, and his speech was slurred.
Tang Sanzang meditated and chanted, his lips moved slightly, but he did not make a sound.
The walker swallowed the last piece of meat, burped, and patted the master on the shoulder: "Master, don't recite that useless scripture, now tell me about your enemy's family, you tell me who he is, I'll go over with a somersault cloud and arrest him for you." ”
Sanzang opened his eyes and said, "Monkey, I'm reciting the Sutra of Transcendence for the herbivore beast. To be a man, you can't help but be kind. ”
The walker laughed: "Master, you are too hypocritical, you have eaten all the herbivores in your stomach, what is the use of chanting scriptures." ”
"Chanting the sutra is no longer useful to herbivores, but it is useful to me, and when I recite it, I will be at ease. ”
The walker opened his mouth and stammered: "Master, your shamelessness is very frank!
Sanzang smiled: "Monkey, you don't understand this, this is one of the functions of chanting." ”
The walker jumped up and circled around Tang Sanzang several times, with a kind of transparent joy of seeing each other late, and said with a smile: "Good girl, you big monk, what you say is very much to my liking." ”
"Why do you say that?"
"Master, don't you think that when the Buddha wants you and me to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, it is purely to take off your pants and fart?"
"Think!"
"Do you really think so?"
"I really think so!"
"That's right, with the Buddha's magical powers, what kind of bullshit scriptures do you want to preach, in a word, send an Arhat or Garan, just send the scriptures over, but he just didn't, he even asked you and me to get it, but he arrogantly put on a high posture, looking like he didn't give it, it was really disgusting for his grandmother. ”
"It's disgusting!"
"But this can't help me, Master, you write a certificate for me, make a certificate, I will go to the West Heaven Da Lei Yin Temple with a somersault cloud, show the master's certificate to the Buddha Lao'er clearly, and then ask him to give me the scriptures directly, and I will come back with a somersault cloud, at most three days, we can get back the scriptures." ”
"Good idea, good idea!" Sanzang gave a thumbs up in praise of the monkey.
The monkey squeaks with joy!
Sanzang said with a smile: "Monkey, if it is so easy to learn the scriptures, the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva don't have to spend so much effort to ask you and me to learn the scriptures, or the old saying, if he wants to give the scriptures sincerely, he would have sent someone to send the scriptures directly to the Hongfu Temple in Chang'an City, and we still need to go all the way to get them?"
The monkey jumped in front of Sanzang: "Master, you have something to say." ”
Sanzang said: "The purpose of the Buddha asking us to go to learn the scriptures is false, and it is true that we want us to preach his Buddhist beliefs all the way." ”
"Promote Buddhism all the way?"
"Yes. ”
"I still don't get it!"
"I guess the original intention of the Buddha of the West Heaven was to borrow the scriptures and preach his Buddhism all the way from the Tang Dynasty in the south to the Da Lei Yin Temple in Xiniu Hezhou. ”
"For the sake of the Buddhist faith, is it famous in Nanzhan Buzhou and Xiniuhe Prefecture?"
"No, it's not. If you think about the Buddha in this way, you are too narrow-minded. I suspect that the real intention of the Buddha was to make a name for Buddhism in the Three Realms through the fact that we learned the scriptures. ”
"The Three Realms?" the monkey's eyes flashed with lightning.
"Yes, the matter of learning scriptures, the first alarm must be the heavenly realm, such a big event, but also release you, the monkey who made a big fuss in the heavenly palace, to protect me to go to the west to learn the scriptures, with your notoriety, without the approval of the Jade Emperor, the Buddha will not dare to act rashly; once you and I succeed in learning the scriptures, it will spread in the heavenly realm, and the believers of Buddhism will inevitably be prosperous. After the believers in the heavenly realm are numerous, the Buddhist dojo will inevitably bloom all over the human world, which will directly threaten the majesty of the Taoist dojo; as for the underworld, the original purpose of learning scriptures is to surpass the thousands of unjust souls who died in vain in the city, and the most beneficial is the underworld realm. The underworld has benefited a lot, and the Buddha's control of the underworld is even more solid. You say, we traveled west to learn scriptures, is this for Buddhism to make a name for itself in the Three Realms?"
Sanzang's wisdom is amazing, and as soon as his conjecture is spoken, the witch in the witch mirror in his arms is not a little surprised. Wu Yang had to admire the foundation of Buddhism's cultivation, which indeed made Sanzang's wisdom and Zen cover the heavens and the earth, but Sanzang Daoheng is shallow, mortal and fleshy, and he doesn't know how powerful he is.
His discerning eye can always see through the layers of fog inadvertently and go straight to the essence of things.
In his previous life, his understanding of the Dharma and his questioning of the Buddha's precepts had threatened the Buddha's foundation. If it weren't for the fact that the Buddha needed him for some ulterior reason, he would have been overturned into ashes by the Buddha.
Sun Xingzhi was born from the essence of heaven and earth, and naturally he was not stupid: "Master, according to your guesses, it seems that the plan of the Buddha is not small!"
Sanzang said: "Monkey, if my conjecture is correct, the Buddha wants you to protect me, in fact, he wants to use your notoriety to expand the spread of the scriptures and make the Three Realms shake. ”
The monkey scratched his ears: "Master, do you mean that the Buddha sold me, and I am still counting the money for him?"
"Maybe both of us are such characters, and the bait is to promise you my golden body after learning the scriptures successfully!"
The monkey was half cold-hearted when he heard this: "Master, since you have insight into all this, why do you still have to work hard for the Buddha to learn scriptures?
"Don't you want to become a Buddha?" asked Sanzang rhetorically.
"If you are not happy, you will be used as a pawn, will you be a Buddha?" said the walker with an anxious gaze.
"Monkey, you are just a superb true god, your cultivation has not even reached the realm of immortals, in fact, your skills are very low, your 108,000 miles of somersault clouds, but you can't even jump out of the palm of the Buddha's hand, what do you want to do with the Buddha? The incarnation of the seventh-order bodhisattva should be ever-changing, and your seventy-two supernatural powers are rubbish; listen to me, be honest, follow me step by step, and go to the west to learn the scriptures. ”
The monkey was furious when he heard this, took out the golden hoop stick from his ear, shook it, the mouth of the bowl was thick, and the golden hoop stick in his hand pointed at Tang Sanzang's head, and shouted: "You great monk, dare to look down on me Monkey King?
Sanzang smiled and said: "Monkey, when it comes to Wuchan, I'm not as good as you now, but when it comes to wisdom, I can only praise you with stupidity." ”
The monkey was furious, the golden hoop stick was waved, and the golden light flashed, and it slashed at Tang Seng's head.
