Journey to the West: Awakening the memory of the first nine generations at the beginning

Chapter 269
After becoming a monk, the name of Tiezhu Dharma Xuanzang, since the day he became a monk, he insisted on reciting the Sutra of the Dead three times a day. Because Xuanzang felt guilty towards them.

But with the passage of time, he gradually forgot his original intention, and the Sutra of Rebirth three times a day became once a day, and then in the end, it disappeared once a day, but became other Buddhist classics.

In this way, about a year later, only dullness remained in Xuanzang's eyes. Compared with the previous dullness, but to other people in the temple, Xuanzang's eyes shone with wisdom and Buddha-nature.

Avalokitesvara, who has been paying attention to Xuanzang, smiled at this time, because Xuanzang in this state can finally go on the road, and the great cause of learning Buddhist scriptures in Lingshan can finally begin.

Because Jin Chanzi has to reincarnate ten times before he can reach Lingshan, so Guanyin's next task is to fool him into stepping on the path of learning scriptures, and then just wait for him to receive his soul in the underworld after his death.

About another year passed, and Xuanzang was no longer in the temple in the town, but moved to the capital. He went to the capital of the country, and then entered a temple called Jinshan Temple.

After entering Jinshan Temple, Xuanzang became more and more famous. In the end, he overwhelmed the abbot of Jinshan Temple and won the title of holy monk. Even the emperor often came to Xuanzang to discuss Buddhism.

After Xuanzang's fame grew, Guanyin brought Hui'an Xingzhe to the capital city, transformed into a lay-headed monk and sold cassocks.

The sound of selling cassocks alarmed Xuanzang, and then an inexplicable emotion suddenly appeared in his heart.

Xuanzang came to the Laitou monk and asked him the price of the cassock. The Laitou monk said that the cassock was 5000 taels, and the tin staff was 2000 taels.

When Xuanzang put on the tattered cassock and took the tattered tin staff, the cassock and tin staff suddenly emitted a golden light, and then they returned to their original appearance.

Then monk Laitou said that Xuanzang was a destined person, and then he showed his real body.

After Avalokitesvara appeared, the people in the city hurriedly bowed down. Avalokitesvara stood in the sky and enjoyed the people's kneeling. It took a while before he spoke.

After that, Avalokitesvara and Xuanzang talked about the difference between Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism, and finally asked him if he had Mahayana Buddhism, would he be willing to take it back to benefit the people of the world.

Xuanzang patted his chest and assured Avalokitesvara that if there is Mahayana Buddhism, even if it is thousands of miles away, he will go to get it back to benefit the people of the world.

Avalokitesvara watched Xuanzang say this, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism are now in the Daleiyin Temple of the Western Heaven, where my Buddha Tathagata is, and it is hundreds of thousands of miles away from here. Would you still like to go?" Guanyin asked Xuanzang.

"Bodhisattva, the poor monk is willing to go. If you can't do it in one year, it will be two years. If you can't do it in two years, it will be three years. "Xuanzang looked at Guanyin solemnly and said.

"Okay! The poor monk is waiting for you at Daleiyin Temple." Guanyin nodded.

"Good!" Xuanzang nodded.

After receiving Xuanzang's return, Avalokitesvara raised her cloud head and prepared to leave.

"Farewell to Guanyin Bodhisattva!" Xuanzang and others knelt down on the ground again and said.

After Avalokitesvara left, Xuanzang began to prepare. After all, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said that it is a hundred and eight thousand miles to go to Lingshan. If you don’t prepare enough, you may not be able to reach Lingshan, and you will die.

After preparing for almost half a month, Xuanzang set off with a group of palace guards.

But the start of the mission was unfavorable, the dozen or so guards died on the road without persisting for a long time. Seeing this, Xuanzang just buried them silently, then read a passage of the Sutra of the Rebirth to them, and then continued on the road.

Along the way, Xuanzang encountered all kinds of demons and ghosts, but at critical moments he was always able to save the day, and it was his skill and the cassock and tin staff that saved the day.

The cassock and tin staff were originally Jin Chanzi's magic weapons, so Xuanzang used them so smoothly.

In this way, after about ten years, Xuanzang came to Lingyundu. When Xuanzang's figure appeared in Lingyundu, Tathagata and all the Buddhas were stunned, because this script is not performed like this. .

Normally, it is impossible for Xuanzang to come to Lingshan!But in fact, Xuanzang has already arrived at Lingyundu. As long as he walks through Lingyundu, he can directly enter Daleiyin Temple.

When Xuanzang crossed Lingyundu, the secret of heaven became clear in an instant. Tathagata pinched his fingers and showed a constipated expression on his face. It turned out that he miscalculated the time before, and then hurriedly let Jin Chanzi reincarnate Go, that's what led to this result.

But today's machine shows that Xuanzang has succeeded in learning the scriptures, and Lingshan is about to prosper. This frightens the Tathagata, Lingshan cannot be prosperous now!
Just when Tathagata was at a loss, he suddenly received the news of Zhunti, and then the way Tathagata looked at Xuanzang changed.

"Jin Chanzi, for the great cause of learning the scriptures, I can only sacrifice you again." Tathagata's gaze towards Xuanzang gradually turned cold.

"See my Buddha Tathagata, the poor monk is here to seek the Mahayana scriptures." After entering the Great Leiyin Temple, Xuanzang respectfully kowtowed to the Tathagata.

"Yeah!" Tathagata nodded.

But at the moment when Xuanzang raised his head, Tathagata made a sudden move, and a palm wind directly knocked Xuanzang to death in the Great Leiyin Temple.

Before he died, Xuanzang still had puzzlement and fear in his eyes. He didn't know why Buddha Tathagata wanted to kill him.

The other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Daleiyin Temple were also stunned for a moment, they didn't understand why Tathagata was doing this.

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Tathagata explained the reason to everyone, which brought everyone back to their senses.

"Buddha, what about the golden cicada's body?" A Buddha asked Tathagata.

Because after Xuanzang's death, bursts of golden light radiated from his body, accompanied by bursts of strange fragrance. This golden light is the golden light of merit, and the fragrance is the fragrance of merit.

Tathagata glanced at the dull soul next to the corpse, and then ignored it: "There are human fruits in the world, and there is a peach festival in heaven. My Lingshan can hold a Buddhist feast now!"

"Buddha banquet? Please tell me the Buddha!" ​​Huanxi Chan said suddenly.

"It's him!" Tathagata pointed to Xuanzang's body, because the merits and virtues on Xuanzang's body were too strong.

"Yes!" Tathagata's proposal unexpectedly won everyone's approval, but their request was that this Buddhist feast could only be enjoyed by people from Lingshan, and only people of the Buddha or Bodhisattva level.

After all, the corpse is only that big, if everyone eats it, it will not be enough.

In this way, the Buddhas in Lingshan ate Xuanzang's body in front of him. Seeing the blood on the mouths of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Xuanzang finally regained his senses.

"Why?" Xuanzang's soul screamed at Tathagata, but no one paid any attention to him.

"Honorable Avalokitesvara, I need to trouble you again." After the Buddhist feast, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas returned to their dignified appearance.

"Yes." Avalokitesvara nodded, and then left with Xuanzang's soul. This was to let Xuanzang continue to reincarnate. Not surprisingly, they can still hold eight such Buddhist banquets.
