Chapter 266 The Desperate Tang Sanzang
Chapter 260 The Desperate Tang Sanzang

Tang Sanzang looked at the three apprentices with anger on his face, and his heart was a little ashamed of shock.

Within a day, he broke two precepts in succession.

The persistence in my heart seemed to be cracked at this moment.

Sun Wukong looked at Tang Sanzang somewhat at a loss, this was the first time Tang Sanzang got angry, never before.

Zhu Bajie also froze in place, quietly standing next to Monk Sha.

"Master, isn't this for your life? My old grandson only knows that whether you are practicing Buddhism or Taoism, you must first have a life."

"If life is gone, how can I go westward to learn the scriptures?"

"How can I get this sutra?"

"That's right, master. As the saying goes, cultivating the Buddha and cultivating the mind. My old pig believes that cultivating the Buddha mainly cultivates the mind. The precepts you practice are just a means to restrain your state of mind."

"As long as there is a Buddha in your heart, where is there not a Buddha?"

Monkey King turned his head to look at Zhu Bajie, his eyes were full of surprise.

How could this pig have such understanding?
This sentence is really profound. After scratching his head, Monkey King helped Tang Seng up.

"Master, let's not talk about anything else, let's go out first."

"This place was a snow field first, and now it is a grass field. It might be a desert behind it."

Struggling to stand up, Tang Seng looked at Zhu Bajie.

The light of wisdom suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Bajie, did you realize this sentence yourself?"

Seeing Tang Seng like this, Zhu Bajie hesitated and said: "I said it, is there a problem, Master?"

"Haha, no problem, Bajie, this sentence is good, good..."

The laughter echoed on the grassland, and Tang Seng looked a little crazy.

These words seemed to have reached his heart.

"Cultivating the Buddha, cultivating the mind, and precepts are the shackles that bind human nature, so it is so, so it is."

"Buddha, I have enlightened!"

Suddenly, Tang Seng looked at Bajie and bowed in a daze, which made the three of them at a loss.

Outside, Ye Wuqiu on the Hanging Mountain looked at this scene with a somewhat speechless expression on his face.

"It was originally a catastrophe, but now Tathagata has taken advantage of it."

Tang Sanzang clearly realized the meaning in his heart, whether in the future, whether it is returning to the original nature, turning into a golden cicada, or just this body.

It is definitely a great benefit for practice, and it is impossible to touch the edge of the big Luo.

"Forget it, let's do a good job."

"It's also weird, this pig has such a good understanding, no wonder it has something to do with Xuandu..."

After finishing speaking, Ye Wuqiu got up and left directly. This imitation of the [-]-mile journey of the Red Army was intended to see the mind of the four Situ, but he did not expect to become a monk.

There is no need to stay here any longer.

The most important thing is that if I increase the difficulty in this catastrophe, I am afraid that the Tathagata will really go crazy.

And at the moment, the Tathagata who was in Lingshan finally had a smile on his gloomy face.

It's been a long time, and this is the first smile.

"Sanzang and Bajie are the mainstays of my Buddhism..."

"What the Buddha said is very true. The few people in our Buddhist sect have their own celestial appearances."

"Well, great goodness!"

……

In the grass, the four people who were still walking were supporting each other at this moment, throwing away all the salutes they had brought.

At this time, I don't know when I will be able to go out, so it is best to reduce some burdens and retain more energy.

Slowly, as time changed, the few people relied on gnawing grass from time to time, and then the rabbit blood that survived was not wasted. Whenever the stomach couldn't hold it, they would take a little sip.

After repeated repetitions, although he was no longer in human form, he survived anyway.

The further you go, the more remote you are, it seems that the grassland is slowly decreasing.

Even a lot of grass is withered and yellow, and the roots are all dead. The dryness makes people panic.

"It seems that my grandson guessed it right. There is really a desert behind here."

With shriveled lips, Sun Wukong held a stick and looked into the distance, with a heavy feeling in his heart.

Falling into this place, everyone turned into mortals, unable to move their mana.

The physical body has lost the characteristics of a fairy god. At least there is water in the snow-capped mountains, and the grassland can satisfy the hunger, and there is also water.

When we reached the desert, if we still walked for half a month without food or drink, our group would definitely go to see the green horse.

"No, Master, we still need to reserve some water. If there is a real desert in the back, no one will be able to get out without water."

Said that Monkey King took off the water bag hanging from his waist, and walked back towards the way he came.

There was a puddle there that they saw when they came over.

Zhu Bajie's stomach was also flattened by hunger at the moment, not as round as before.

With some helplessness in his heart, the bag on his back began to collect crisp green grass and prepare food.

In short, if the back is really a desert, you must eat and drink, otherwise you will die.

Drifting supported Tang Seng and said lightly: "Master, take a rest."

"it is good."

Not long after, Monkey King came back with a water bag, which could only hold three catties of water.

If it is economical, it can last at least a few days.

Therefore, before entering the desert, everyone should drink plenty of water. As long as the body stores enough water and pays attention to sun protection, it can last for a longer period of time.

Zhu Bajie was carrying dozens of catties of tender grass on his back, watching several people.

"Let's go, don't waste time, it's best to go out early, it's a waste of time and energy to stay."

"Ah."

A group of people started to set off again, and slowly the grass on the meadow couldn't see a trace of greenness, it was all withered yellow grass that had lost its vitality.

Moreover, the soil quality also slowly changed, turning into sandy dry soil.

"The desert, what a desert!"

There was a hint of helplessness in Sun Wukong's eyes, and he guessed it right.

Although prepared, but after entering the desert, who would have imagined the result?

Tang Sanzang said lightly: "Let's go, Wukong, go out early, and the four of us, master and apprentice, can live."

Continuing to walk, the sun in the sky began to slowly become hot, and the temperature in the air began to rise sharply.

Slowly, they walked into the desert, and a wave of heat hit their faces directly.

Instantly felt hot.

The desert is also invisible at a glance, it seems to be the same as the snowy grassland.

The four supported each other, like travelers in the desert, their heads were tightly wrapped, and they supported each other forward and backward.

One day, two days, three days passed.

There was still no head in sight, and Zhu Bajie had eaten all the tender grass on his back, leaving only the dried yellow grass.

There was no trace of moisture left, so Monkey King touched the water bag.

"It's been three days, and finally the water is still moving. The water weighs three catties. I don't know how long we have to go."

"It took more than ten days to get out of the snow, and thirteen days on the grass. This snow is about thirteen days, and there are still ten days to go."

"So, each person can only drink one sip of this water a day, otherwise..."

otherwise what?
Everyone knows, otherwise it is death.

Therefore, everyone kept silent and chose to move forward on their own.

Slowly, the yellow grass was eaten up, and there was only less than a catty of water left.

Everyone sat in the desert, facing the scorching sun and the scorching sand under their buttocks, the irritability in their hearts slowly rose.

"How to do?"

"The water is almost gone, the grass leaves have been eaten, and I have been walking for eight days."

"Master, I'm out of strength..."

thump.

Zhu Bajie directly collapsed on the ground, letting the scorching sun scorch his body.

Drifting squinted his eyes at this moment, hallucinations slowly appeared in front of his eyes, and suddenly stood up.

"Water, I see water, it's an oasis!"

"oasis……"

thump……

Before taking two steps, he fell to the ground. Monkey King looked at Tang Seng, and then at the water in the water bag in his arms.

In the end, he chose to remain silent.

"Wukong, give Bajie and Laosha something to drink."

Tang Seng collapsed on the ground, pressed his tongue lightly on his lips, and the skin on his dry lips instantly fell off.

The lips are like ravines, with mountains and mountains.

Suddenly a trace of fishy sweetness fell into his mouth.

It turned out to be my own blood...

Monkey King didn't listen to Tang Seng's words, but hugged the kettle tightly, and he threw the golden cudgel aside, without the slightest majesty of Monkey King.

Right now, he just wants to live...

"Let's go, master, hurry up, go out soon..."

Look at the water bag in Sun Wukong's arms, and look at Zhu Bajie and Drifting who fell on the ground.

Tang Seng sighed slightly in his heart, got up and continued walking behind Monkey King.

He is numb at this moment, life and death are no longer important.

Whether he can go out is what he cares about.

Slowly, another day passed.

Tang Seng also collapsed on the ground, Sun Wukong carefully moistened Tang Seng's lips with a water bag.

"Master, don't sleep, let's go out soon."

Tang Seng opened his eyes and looked at the sky, suddenly a burst of auspicious clouds flowed across the sky.

"Wukong, look, is that Xiangyun?"

Sun Wukong raised his head, seeing nothing, and then looked at Tang Seng, his face was chapped, his whole body was hot, his lips were lined with grooves, and the congealed blood scabs were shocking.

He knew that the master couldn't hold it anymore, there was no food, and the water was almost gone.

He got up, took the water bag, and seemed ready to go by himself.

But after taking two steps, he walked back with a calm expression.

The water sac in his hand was poured into Tang Sanzang's mouth by him as precious water.

"Master, there is still some water, you take it."

After speaking, Monkey King put down the water bag and strode forward.

At this moment, he just wanted to see if he could get out of the desert.

Tang Seng regained consciousness, held the water bag in his hand, and looked at the back of Monkey King in the distance.

"Amitabha, Wukong..."

Struggling to stand up, the cassock wrapped his head, and slowly moved towards Monkey King, as time passed.

It was getting dark, Tang Seng looked at the stars in the sky, his eyes were full of bitterness.

Green horse is dead.

I broke the precept myself.

Bajie died.

Lao Sha is also dead.

Wukong doesn't know life and death.

What kind of scriptures did you get when you traveled west to learn scriptures?

Save sentient beings?

Now that he can't even save himself, how can he have the desire to save sentient beings?
If you can't protect your own disciples, how can you protect all living beings in the world?
Buddha?

What am I learning from?
He asked silently in his heart, but no one responded.

One night passed, he barely wet his lips, screaming in his stomach.

Endure the discomfort and move on.

Suddenly, there was a person lying on the sand in front of him, and Tang Seng's face was full of anger.

"Goku!"

Walking quickly to the front of Monkey King, he looked at the silent Monkey King.

His eyes were wide open, and the monkey hair on his face withered a lot at this moment.

At this moment, Tang Seng couldn't bear it anymore, and slumped on the ground.

With a ferocious face, he yelled towards the sky: "Buddha, why?!"

It was still the blue sky and white clouds, the scorching sun, nothing else changed.

Whether it is heartbreaking or heartbreaking, this moment is insignificant.

Slowly, it seemed that the grief in his heart was numb, Tang Seng stood up and continued to walk forward.

There is only one belief in his heart at the moment.

It is not the Buddha who has supported him for more than twenty years.

It's a sentence.

He wanted to ask the Buddha: "What can be used to save sentient beings?"

The people around him couldn't save him, so what else could he do?
Three apprentices, one horse, all fell on the way to learn for themselves.

He has nothing to lose at this moment, but one life.

Therefore, he has to go out, and he has to face the Buddha.

Ask the words in your heart.

"Then what saves sentient beings?"

The scorching sun in the sky gradually became hotter, and Tang Sanzang's shadow gradually elongated on the desert.

……

"You kid, it was a good thing at first, but now it's not good."

In Laojun's hall, Laojun was also a little touched when he saw the changes in Sanzang's group in the world.

Sometimes, when a living being is forced to a desperate situation, that feeling is more real than ever.

Ye Wuqiu said lightly: "It's hard to say, it depends on whether Tang Sanzang can understand the way in his heart, and whether the Tathagata can hold back."

"If this monk transforms again, then Tathagata will be very happy."

"If it doesn't work, you can't blame me."

"Anyway, as long as you know what you have in mind."

"Ah."

……

In the desert, Tang Seng shook the kettle in his hand vigorously, but he could no longer hear the sound of water echoing.

Opened the tap and there was no drop.

With a wry smile: "Can't you make it through?"

Putting the water bag on the ground casually, he endured the pain and strode forward.

At this moment, he didn't want to give up. After walking for thirteen days, he should go out.

As time passed, the scorching sun set, and the temperature slowly dropped, with the faint sunset glow.

Tang Seng seemed to see something.

"It's here, it's here, haha..."

Running madly towards the front, the desert has indeed slowly turned into land.

There are trees, and the temperature is slowly weakening.

He fell down on the edge of a tree and looked at the muddy raw water in the puddle. Tang Seng put his head in and began to drink.

Then he lay contentedly on the ground and slowly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Tang Sanzang, who woke up from hunger, looked at the forest in front of him and began to look for food.

Although the leaves were edible, he wanted to find some fruits that could satisfy his hunger.

Slowly going deeper into the forest, more and more thick trees shrouded.

But Tang Seng's gaze was dull for a while.

In front of him is a huge swamp, the mud exudes a strong smell, and there are a lot of bones floating on it.

At this moment, his mentality collapsed.

He roared towards the sky, just like an ordinary person, without the slightest demeanor of an eminent monk.

"what!!!……"
