Chapter Ninety-Seven: Discussing the Journey to the West
Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
After Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Jade Emperor saw each other, they directly stated the purpose of their visit, and did not shy away from Yang Zhen and Tai Baixing who were standing aside. I only heard Guanyin Bodhisattva say: "Your Majesty, my Buddhism is preaching to Nanzhan Buzhou this time, and there are some things that need your Majesty's help. ”
Journey to the West!
As soon as he heard Guanyin Bodhisattva speak, Yang Zhen understood the purpose of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Yang Zhen has been looking forward to the Journey to the West for a long time, but he doesn't want the Journey to the West to come. This is a very strange feeling, perhaps because after the end of the Journey to the West, Yang Zhen lost his direction for the future.
But time will pass eventually, and the future will become history sooner or later.
The reason why Guanyin Bodhisattva does not shy away from Tai Bai Xing is because Tai Bai Xing has long known about this matter, and as the think tank of the Jade Emperor, Tai Bai Xing knows many secrets of the Heavenly Court. As for why Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't shy away from Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen couldn't think of this, maybe Guanyin Bodhisattva thought Yang Zhen was very reliable!
Three hundred years ago, Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, although there were all kinds of insiders in this, but the result of this incident was that Heaven owed the favor of Buddhism. Now that Guanyin Bodhisattva opened his mouth to ask for help from the heavenly court, the Jade Emperor naturally had no reason not to agree. After pondering for a moment, the Jade Emperor nodded and said, "Bodhisattva, please have something to say." ”
"This time I preached in Nanzhan Buzhou, and my Buddhist disciples went down to the mortal world and joined the Tang Dynasty in Nanzhan Buzhou. Two hundred years later, this disciple will travel thousands of miles to Lingshan Da Lei Yin Monastery to seek Mahayana Buddhism. It's just that this journey has to go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, and it still needs the help of the Jade Emperor. ”
When the Jade Emperor heard this, he thought about it, and felt that there was nothing troublesome about this matter, and there was no conflict of interest with him, so he nodded and agreed: "Bodhisattva peace of mind, if there are many Sifan immortals in the court today, after some time, I will give them the opportunity to go to the lower realm, just to embarrass the people who have learned the scriptures." ”
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded, and said: "Your Majesty, this time my Buddhist disciples will seal their memories and cultivation, and they will definitely encounter a lot of disasters all the way west, and they will also need a few people who are related to the Buddha to follow and escort." ”
"Is there a candidate for the Bodhisattva?" As soon as the Jade Emperor heard this, he felt that it was profitable. Preaching to the South Zhanbu Continent belongs to the cultivation of sentient beings, and the merits in it are definitely not comparable to serving in the Heavenly Court. If you can arrange your own person in the scripture-learning team, then when this person comes back from learning the scriptures, his cultivation strength will definitely be greatly improved, and he can even use this merit to refine magic weapons.
No matter how you think about it, the Jade Emperor thinks this is a good thing. And he has already promised to help Buddhism, so it is not an exaggeration for Buddhism to give itself a position as a scripture learner.
It's just that before the Jade Emperor could speak, Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "There are already candidates." ”
"Who is it?" the Jade Emperor asked.
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "Sun Wukong under the Five Elements Mountain, the last Marshal Tianpeng and the last general of the Rolling Shutter who were demoted to the mortal world, the third prince of the West Sea, Xiaobailong Ao Lie, and ......"
Hearing these people said by Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Jade Emperor just wanted to say "Nima!" loudly. Hundreds of years ago, these people were indeed from the Heavenly Court, and even Sun Monkey had done Bi Ma Wen in the Heavenly Court and guarded the Pan Tao Garden. But now, these people have been relegated to the mortal world, and they have nothing to do with the heavenly court.
At this moment, the Jade Emperor had an indescribable nausea.
However, when I heard Guanyin Bodhisattva say the word 'and', the Jade Emperor's heart couldn't help but move, could it be that this last person would let me choose?
and...... Yang Zhen!" Guanyin Bodhisattva said.
"Me?" Yang Zhen was stunned when he heard this, what kind of rhythm is this, how can he be so decent, and he was selected as a scripture learner. I haven't been demoted to the mortal world, and I haven't been forced to find a way out, so I can't sleep with a monk, drink porridge and eat vegetarian, so I won't do it.
So Yang Zhen refused without thinking about it: "I'm not going, let me protect a bald donkey, just kidding!"
When Guanyin Bodhisattva heard this, he smiled and said, "Do you remember that when you were in Luojia Mountain, you promised to help me do something. ”
"Well, yes, I said that if I could do it, I would help. Yang Zhen recalled that there was indeed such a thing, but Yang Zhen didn't want to accompany Tang Seng to learn the scriptures, so he said scoundrelly: "But I can't do this thing, so I won't help." If there is anything else that the Bodhisattva wants me to help with, I'll think about it again. ”
"There's one thing you can do. Guanyin Bodhisattva did not force Yang Zhen, but said along with Yang Zhen.
When Yang Zhen heard this, he suddenly had a bad premonition, so he didn't want to take Guanyin Bodhisattva's words. Looking up at the Jade Emperor, Yang Zhen said with a smile: "Jade Emperor, I have a stomachache, so I will retire first, and I will see ......you again tomorrow when the court meets."
"You don't have to attend the court meeting tomorrow, so go back to Luojia Mountain with me. Guanyin Bodhisattva said.
When Yang Zhen heard this, he was dissatisfied: "Hmph! If you want to arrest me to go to Luojia Mountain, just show your skills, I am not the me I was three hundred years ago, and I will not be caught by you so easily." ”
Yang Zhen made up his mind that if Guanyin Bodhisattva really did it, he would find an opportunity to sneak attack Guanyin Bodhisattva with golden scissors, saying that he could no longer be controlled by others.
When Guanyin Bodhisattva heard this, he shook his head and said: "You still have one condition for me, since you don't want to learn the scriptures, then accompany me back to Luojia Mountain for forty years, do you think it's good?"
Are you a bodhisattva or a little devil? Why do I see that you have horns on your head and a tail on your buttocks?
At this moment, Yang Zhen regretted very much why he agreed to Guanyin Bodhisattva on a condition. Yang Zhen originally thought that he would never meet Guanyin Bodhisattva again in this life, but he didn't expect that he would be so fated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, it was really fated to meet thousands of miles away!
"What's wrong with assisting Buddhist disciples to learn scriptures, when the day they obtain the true scriptures, the merits of the people will definitely enjoy the Buddha's position in Lingshan. Guanyin Bodhisattva ** said.
"By the way, there is merit in learning scriptures!" Yang Zhen thought of this, and wanted to agree.
Thinking that it takes so much merit to upgrade the mall, if you are an immortal in Heavenly Court, I am afraid it will take thousands of years to do it, and after learning the scriptures, although I don't know how much merit you will get from the Dao, I am afraid it will be much faster than living in Heavenly Court.
It's just that Yang Zhen still has some concerns......
"Bodhisattva, it's no problem to protect monks from learning scriptures, but I don't want to be a monk, I still have to marry a wife!" Yang Zhen first took a preventive shot and said: "After learning the scriptures, can I not do anything as a Buddha in Lingshan, I don't want to be alone all my life, with my right hand as a companion!"
“......”
Listening to Yang Zhen's words, Guanyin Bodhisattva almost went crazy, if it weren't for your master's face, I would have asked you to learn the scriptures, it was really cheap and good, the most hateful thing is this kind of person. In the Three Realms, I don't know how many people in the Dao want to follow the scriptures, but I can't look at it.
However, Yang Zhen's words made the Jade Emperor's eyes light up. Looking at Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Jade Emperor asked, "Bodhisattva, ...... you see?"
