Intercept the second disciple

Chapter 370 Tower Upload Method
"Master, the city of Chang'an is ahead." Sun Wukong explored the way ahead, "There are many people standing at the gate of the city, as if to welcome us back."

When they left, they were all mortal bodies, and when they returned, they were all immortals. Everyone could have reached Chang'an through the clouds and fog, but Liu Er walked very slowly, and even spent a lot of time traveling around the mountains and rivers.

When Tang Seng left, Li Shimin personally saw him off. Now that Liuer has returned, Li Shimin has passed away, and Empress Wu Zetian has become the king.

Li Shimin worshiped Buddha in his later years, and he killed Li Tang's luck by himself. He was eager to see through, but he didn't see the scriptures. When he went underground, he might feel at ease when he saw his father and brother again, but this was not what Liuer cared about.

Chang'an was watching, Zhu Bajie was obviously relieved, Liu Er asked: "But you plan to go back to your Gao Laozhuang?"

Zhu Bajie shook his head and said: "Gao Lao Zhuang is just a temporary residence in the world. Looking at the world, my old pig has no home, and I don't know where I will go next, but don't worry, Master, I have to wait for you to settle down in Chang'an City before leaving. if."

Liu Er looked at Zhu Bajie and said: "As a teacher, I hope you will have a good ending. Since you call me Master, you can come to me if you have anything to do."

Zhu Bajie did not show disdain, Zhu Bajie stared at Liu Er for a while, and finally Zhu Bajie saluted and said: "I will remember what you said today, Master."

Liu Er said to Sun Wukong and others: "Of course, this sentence is also valid for you. If you have anything, you can come to me."

All the disciples nodded together and said together: "Thousands of miles journey, wind and rain together, what will the master order in the future, just say hello, the journey to the west is over, but we will always be master's disciples."

"Okay," Liu Er smiled and said, "Let's go to the city."

···
Chang'an City has been very lively recently, and this excitement is naturally because Liuer, the streets and alleys, and teahouses and restaurants are all talking about Tang Monk's master and apprentice.

"Have you heard that the holy monk is back?"

"Not only did I hear about it, I also saw it. The holy monk is the holy monk. His face has not aged for decades. It is said that he is also the emperor's imperial brother."

"Isn't it? That day the gate of the city was crowded with water. I still can't forget the demeanor of the holy monk. It's really extraordinary."

"It's just that the disciples of the holy monk are really ugly." One person couldn't help but said.

"What do you know?" The man was besieged by the crowd as soon as he finished speaking.

"Others are ugly and kind-hearted. It is said that they were originally gods in the sky, and that monkey even made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace."

"That's right, you didn't see that the three disciples of the holy monk walk differently."

"That's right, I once saw the shadows of dragons under the feet of those three disciples walking, and those three disciples are all masters of Buddhism."

"I saw it too, but what I saw looked like a tiger."

"No, what I saw was a crane."

The whole Chang'an became lively, and Liu Er and his party became the focus of the whole Chang'an.

Seeing that everyone was arguing endlessly, someone asked: "The holy monk will give a lecture on Buddhism in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in one month, do you want to go?"

"Go, of course." Everyone said in unison: "We also want to worship Buddha."

···
In a corner of the teahouse, four people were tasting tea.

One of them said with a smile: "Brother, why don't you stand up and take a few steps, and let me see what the dragon shadow under your feet looks like."

"It's just a mortal's wishful thinking," Zhu Bajie said with a smile, "Old pig, I'm just a stupid pig, and I'm just a messenger to purify the altar after entering Buddhism."

"Even the Buddha thought I was a pig."

"But I have never underestimated my junior brother," Sun Wukong said: "Since I communicated with my junior brother about the way of transformation, my cultivation base has improved by leaps and bounds. Even now, I feel that I am no match for your junior brother."

Zhu Bajie smiled and said nothing, at this time Li Yu said: "Ordinary people are superficial, their so-called gods and bodhisattvas are just what they think they are, if they think we are superior, we will be radiant in their eyes."

Sun Wukong said deeply, "When I was apprenticed to a teacher, I also went to a human city. I was humiliated and looked down upon in the city. Now I still look like a monkey, but when I put on a Buddha's coat, they look at us differently."

Monk Sha also echoed: "That's why I now understand more and more that the Buddha that Master said is only in the heart, and all living beings have endless thoughts, so the so-called Buddha is just what they think, and they are not worshiping the real Buddha."

Sun Wukong sighed: "But I feel a bit boring. The so-called Buddha is nothing more than that. I used to long for power, glory and excitement, so I went to the heaven to seek an official. But now that everyone is watching, I feel that I am not interested."

Zhu Bajie smiled and said, "That's senior brother, you have matured."

"Maybe it was just defeated by fate." Sun Wukong finally sighed.

···
Outside the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there are huge crowds of people, tens of thousands of Buddhist disciples have come to Chang'an, and there are even more people who are devoted to Buddhism or simply to watch the fun.

Who doesn't know that Tang Seng is the younger brother of Emperor Taizong, and he went to the West to learn scriptures in the name of Avalokitesvara, and it is said that Tang Seng has already certified the Buddha.

Tang Seng is a Buddha walking in the world. How can all Buddhist disciples not come to pilgrimage.

Moreover, it is said that Tang Seng has brought back the Buddhist scriptures. There are infinite mysteries in the scriptures that can save all living beings, and all living beings want to have a look at the scriptures.

"when!"

The bell on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was rung, and the noisy crowd suddenly became silent.

The eminent monks who are qualified to enter the tower enter the tower in an orderly manner, and the others dare to wait outside the tower.

The six ears are high above, and the four white dragons and horses are waiting on the side.

When Liu Er sits down, golden lotus emits thousands of golden lights, and the Buddha light around Liu Er is endless, and endless Sanskrit singing resounds in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

The location of the six ears seems to be the bliss of Buddhism, and all the monks salute to the six ears respectfully after entering.

Liu Er signaled his disciples to take out a Buddhist scripture. The Buddhist scriptures were floating in the air, and the pages of the scriptures were automatically turned. All the monks looked at the scriptures intently.

Liu Erdao: "Buddhism is so profound that ordinary people can understand it. How far you can comprehend the scriptures here depends on your understanding."

Sun Wukong and the others looked at Liu Er in puzzlement. They were very familiar with this scripture, because it was a blank scripture that was dried after falling into the river, and Liu Er also had the real scripture in his hand.

What can be enlightened by a pile of blank scriptures, but what surprised Monkey King and others is that the monks actually read the truth.

After a long time, a monk said loudly: "I have realized that the Buddha's heart is like paper, pure and flawless. Only when the Buddha's heart is clear can one see the ultimate bliss."

"I also realized it. I clearly saw that the Buddha is in the book. The Buddha is persuading me to study hard. The Buddha is in the thousands of volumes of scriptures, and he is also in the wooden fish incense."

"Enlightened, I also enlightened, I saw the beautiful mountains and rivers in the book, and I can become a Buddha if I travel a hundred thousand miles westward, and the Buddha is on the way."

"Nonsense, the Buddhist scriptures clearly say that the Buddha is outside the six desires of the world of mortals. Only by abandoning these can one become a Buddha."

"No, what the Buddha said is that a single movement of the Buddha's heart can accommodate all things. Together with the Buddha's thoughts, you should save the common life, and only after living through the common life can you become a Buddha."

···
One after another, some monks said that they had enlightened themselves. No one dared to say that this was a pile of blank papers, because Liu Er was a Buddha walking in the world, and the westward journey was arranged by Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. I believe that what Tang Seng brought back was just a pile of blank paper.

The monks only felt that they had seen a lot. Although some monks felt that they only saw a blank sheet of paper, they all felt that it was because their hearts were blank. These monks could not help but reflect: It seems that I have not studied Buddhism enough. You have to practice Buddhism diligently and realize the true meaning of Buddhism as soon as possible.

It's not that there is a saying: It's not the movement of the flag, it's not the movement of the wind, but the movement of the heart.

There is nothing in the heart, it is empty.

So all the monks agreed that the scriptures brought back by Liu Er were Buddhist scriptures.
