Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 546 There are still some twists and turns; we must not know the devil

Their master and disciple did not go to Lingshan immediately. The first reason was that they met the Bodhi tree and meditated under the Bodhi tree for half a day. Secondly, they were stayed by the Golden Summit Immortal of Yuzhen Temple at the foot of Lingshan.

This Golden Summit Immortal is really extraordinary. He is obviously a true Taoist cultivator, but he opened a Taoist temple at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. However, Lingshan Mountain did not dare to raise any objections. This can be regarded as a strange story in the Three Realms.

There were even a lot of "dirty" remarks spread, which aroused speculation.

But this golden-domed immortal established his dojo at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, which really makes people think too much.
"At that time, because Guanyin Bodhisattva said that Buddhist monks would arrive at Lingshan in three years, Jinding Daxian waited outside the temple for more than ten years. So when their master and disciples arrived at Lingshan, Jinding Daxian knew that Tathagata Buddha had already summoned all the Buddhas and monks. They were waiting in the Great Leiyin Temple, but they still kept Master Tripitaka in the temple, making them wait one more night, for the sake of cause and effect. But just this time, their master and disciples discovered something strange."

"What's weird?" Nuwa asked immediately.

"That night they rested at Yuzhen Temple, but they saw a cloud of black mist emerging from the Jieyin Temple. Sanzang sent Wukong to investigate, but unexpectedly learned that Jieyin Buddha was having a secret meeting with a man named 'Wutian Demon Ancestor' Devil."

"No sky."

When the saints learned from Master Xuandu that Wutian appeared in Lingshan, they were not surprised.

It's just that when several saints looked at Zhunti Bodhisattva, they inevitably looked weird. Others didn't know it, but Taiqing Saint and Yuanshi Tianzun heard from the leader of Tongtian Cult that he could take a liking to the disciples of the Western Sect. There are only two, one is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva now, and the other is Kinnara Bodhisattva back then.

It's a pity that he ended up like that. Although it was an opportunity to escape into the demon world, it was also a pity.

The invasion of Lingshan by Demon Ancestor Wutian is exactly the disaster that will happen after the great rise of Buddhism.

Wutian Demon Ancestor might just come to investigate in advance when Sanzang and the others entered Lingshan, but unexpectedly he was discovered directly by Sanzang.

But in the eyes of the saints today, there seems to be nothing surprising about this matter. It would be a surprise if Master and Disciple Sanzang could not find traces of Wu Tian based on their abilities.

The fact that Wutian will make a comeback is not a big deal in the eyes of the Second Saints of the West. Even if they are not in the Three Realms and there are so many powerful people in the Three Realms, they will not let Wutian mess around.

Even though he has become the Great Sage of the Demon Realm and can borrow the power of the Demon Realm, there is still a big gap in the size of the Demon Realm compared to the Three Realms.

However, Master Xuandu's next words made them fall into silence again: "Wutian's black lotus incarnation once had a battle with Master Sanzang on the bank of Tongtian River. The two sides seemed to be indifferent, but in fact it was because Wutian's black lotus incarnation has exhausted its power and cannot tell the winner."

They knew that Tang Sanzang's magic power was no longer weak, but they didn't expect that he would be able to tie with Wu Tian's incarnation, and maybe even gain the upper hand.

You must know that the existence of Wutian is precisely to weaken the destiny of Buddhism. This principle of prosperity must decline, the two sages of the West are very clear.

In order to prevent Buddhism from becoming the next sect, Saint Zhunti began to make plans early, but now it seems that this matter is getting more and more wrong.

Originally, the key to dealing with Wutian was to defeat the Buddha in a battle after the Great Sage Qitian entered the Buddha's body, because he was one of the Four Monkeys. Using his "earth aura" to transform into a boneless relic, he could completely defeat Wutian. The demonic energy of the devil world.
But now, even if Wutian's true body reaches the Three Realms, whether he can pass the level of Master Tripitaka is open to question.

Things in the Three Realms can no longer be viewed with the old sunshine.

In just a dozen years, just because of the existence of Tang Sanzang, the entire Three Realms had undergone such earth-shaking changes, which had to make all the saints wary.

Even in many cases, they did not know the existence of Master Tripitaka. For them, whether it was an advantage or a disadvantage, Saint Zhunti was especially confused about this.

"The battle between Sanzang and Wutian will be discussed in detail later."

For now, we still need to finish talking about Lingshan first.

Moreover, the five masters and disciples each had their own opportunities to cross the Lingyun Ferry. The biggest gain among them was of course Wujing, who gave up his dead body and gained a spiritual Buddha body, truly cultivating himself.

When their master and disciples arrived at the Mahavira Hall, the Buddha asked them to take the true scriptures and send them to the Tang Dynasty, and then return to Lingshan to debate the scriptures, the saints were also very impressed.

Empress Nuwa even said bluntly: "Manjusri has already entered reincarnation. How many people in Lingshan can argue with Tripitaka?"

Yuanshi Tianzun also looked at the two saints Zhunti and Jieying, and said with a smile: "Originally, the journey to the West was not about debating scriptures and discussing Buddhism, right?"

Zhunti said to Saint Taiqing, "I wonder what you think?"

Sage Taiqing looked indifferent and chuckled: "The so-called Buddha becomes more and more enlightened about the Tripitaka as he debates. He is the Holy Buddha of the current generation. Since he goes to Lingshan Mountain to debate scriptures with other Buddhas, isn't this a good thing for Buddhism?"

In fact, for Saint Taiqing, when the position of Buddha at Lingshan was taken over by Duobao Tathagata, he no longer cared about the current situation of Buddhism.

Now that Tang Sanzang has appeared, Buddhism will only become more and more chaotic. Even if Tang Sanzang really did not accept the great achievement of Lingshan's promotion, as the Chunti sage suspected, it was because he had self-realized the Tathagata of the Hinayana teachings, then The result is just the coexistence of Mahayana and Hinayana, and at best a tantric teaching.

Buddhism, which is divided into three parts, is naturally not a bad thing for Taoism.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess the thoughts of the saints. Master Xuandu said in his heart: I hope that when I unveil the "real" veil of Master Tripitaka, you will still have the same thoughts.

"When their master and disciple arrived at the Sutra Pavilion, they were just one step away from getting the true sutra. Some twists and turns still occurred."

"At this point, what twists and turns can there be?" This was asked by Saint Chunti.

The saints were also a little surprised. After all, even the Buddha asked them to take the scriptures and send them to the Tang Dynasty. What twists and turns could there be?

Master Xuandu saw that the appetite of the saints was whetted, so he looked in the direction of Saint Zhunti and said matter-of-factly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just because of a rule from Lingshan. The two Venerables, Jiaye and Anuo, were reluctant to teach the scriptures, which almost angered Master Tripitaka and his disciples and burned down the Sutra Pavilion."

Zhunti Saint:? ? ?
Are there any rules I don't know about?
"It is said that Nagaye said this at that time." Master Xuandu worked up his emotions for a while, and then said: "It's not that they don't want to pass on the sutras, it's just that this Lingshan has always had a rule. The sutras should not be passed down lightly. People are going to starve to death, so we need some personnel."

Master Xuandu glanced at Saint Zhunti, as if asking, Saint Zhunti set these rules.All the saints also believed it, because this was indeed like the behavior of Saint Zhunti. Even if they really blamed him wrongly, it would not be an injustice.

After hearing these words, the saints could probably guess the reaction of Tripitaka and his disciples. They were able to resist demolishing or burning the Sutra Pavilion, which was considered extremely restrained.

In fact, the Great Sage was already on the verge of going berserk. If the master hadn't stopped him, and if Gaye and A'nuo were quick to recognize the situation, he would have beaten them both unconscious.

Sage Zhunti also knew that his reputation in the Three Realms had long been ruined.

Therefore, there is no further explanation for this matter. Although this traditional art that requires "human affairs" did not originate from him, Saint Zhunti felt that it was very reasonable, especially in the context of "the scriptures should not be passed down lightly" Five words would be more in line with his wishes.

"Where's the back?" Nuwa, the empress, asked urgently to know what happened.

Master Xuandu also casually told the story of the "Wordless Scripture".

The saints also cooperated and praised Master Tripitaka for his understanding, and they had no objection to his identity as Tripitaka Saint Tathagata.

"Their masters and disciples are also wonderful people. Even if they get the wordless scripture, they are not satisfied. Although they have obtained the wordless scripture, they still have to take the wordless scripture." Master Xuandu smiled and continued. : "Master Tripitaka asked Wukong to throw all the belongings they had collected along the way in the Mahavira Hall. In front of Tathagata Buddha, he asked Tathagata Buddha whether these belongings could be taken away from the true scriptures with inscriptions."

Originally, all the saints thought that this rogue monkey had a good master, but after listening to Master Xuandu talk about the "difficulties and obstacles" that their master and apprentice had along the way, and how they "extracted themselves", they could only sigh - —I’m not a stranger, I don’t enter the same house.

"In the end, the Buddha used his magical power to disperse the wealth to the three realms and help the poor people. But Master Tripitaka and his disciples directly emptied the entire Lingshan Sutra Pavilion, including the cabinets, of all the scriptures."

When Master Xuandu heard the news for the first time, he opened his eyes wide in surprise. Isn't this a bandit entering the mountain?
All.

This is really the style of their master and apprentice.

"What did Tathagata Buddha say?" Jieyin Buddha wanted to know Tathagata Buddha's attitude.

"Tathagata Buddha has no objection to this." Master Xuandu bowed his hands to the Buddha and said: "Because there were exactly 140 people in Lingshan at that time, and the number of scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion was Therefore, the Buddha set out questions, each of which is a dictation of the contents of a volume of scripture, and asked the monks to each draw one to complete the Sutra Pavilion."

All Saints:.
This is also a development direction they have never thought of.

But actually thinking about it carefully, this is not a bad thing. At least to a certain extent, it can be regarded as testing the knowledge level of the monks in Lingshan.

Among them, there are some people who fish in troubled waters and their true colors have been revealed. Although they were not dealt with at the time, they are undoubtedly on the blacklist. If they can find their way back and practice hard in the future, there may be another opportunity. But if they still persist in their stubbornness, retribution will come. Come sooner or later.

"The monks in Lingshan wrote scriptures silently, and Master Tripitaka and his disciples returned to the Tang Dynasty on clouds. It was when they returned to the Tang Dynasty that they met Wu Tian, ​​who claimed to be the Demon Ancestor, by the Tongtian River."

"When they met Jieyin Buddha at Lingyundu before, their master and disciple asked Jieyin Buddha about Wutian Demon Ancestor. Jieyin Buddha did not hide from them that Wutian Demon Ancestor wanted to rob the scripture. In fact, Tell each other."

One wants to seize the sutra, and the other protects it. Neither side has much room for change, so a war is about to break out.

"It is said that Demon Ancestor Wutian got a promise from Tathagata Buddha, saying that as long as he can defeat Master Tripitaka, he will let him take away the scriptures, and when Tathagata Buddha dies, he will take over the mastership of Lingshan Mountain. seat."

"How could Duobao make such a promise?" Empress Nuwa was curious at first, and then said with certainty: "I think Duobao probably thought that the self-proclaimed Demon Ancestor of Wutian was not Sanzang's opponent."

In fact, this is also true. Wutian did not defeat Master Tripitaka.

However, after the saints listened to many details of the battle between Master Tripitaka and Demon Ancestor Wutian, the saints no longer wanted to count how many times they had lost their composure today.

One of Buddha and demon.

Become a Buddha with one thought and become a devil with one thought. That is because Master Xuandu has witnessed such scenes with his own eyes, so the scene described this time is actually much exaggerated than the reality.

After all, when Master Xuandu saw Sanzang's demonic aura revealed, it was a year later. Naturally, it was not comparable to the time when he fought against Wutian Demon Ancestor at Tongtian River.

Master Sanzang at that time also once said - a young monk is not talented, and he will not become a devil if he does not become a Buddha.

Later, Tripitaka realized that he was the "Holy Tathagata Tripitaka", but he himself never claimed this "honorable title" and attended any occasion.

Of course, if others insist on calling him "Sanzang Holy Tathagata", then there is nothing he can do
In fact, Master Tripitaka had another sentence that deeply touched Master Xuandu: "Buddhas do not fall into the devil, but they must not be ignorant of the devil."

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and the enemy can fight a hundred battles without danger. Archmage Xuandu believes that he still needs to know more about the demons outside the territory.

Therefore, he also hopes that the Demon Realm will be connected with the Three Realms as soon as possible. When that time comes, whether it is a fight or a peace, he will have the opportunity to bring Master Sanzang to Xuandu City.

In fact, Master Sanzang has already made preparations to go to Xuandu City. He will only wait for the catastrophe to pass and the three realms to be stable, then go to Xuandu City to join Wukong. Master and disciple will work together in Xuandu City to save those who dare to go to the three realms. An extraterrestrial demon launching an attack.

"After defeating the Great Sage Wutian of the Demon Realm, the fact that Master Sanzang possesses demonic nature is no longer a big secret in the Three Realms. Some demons even want to invite Master Sanzang Luocao to become the king."

The fate of these monsters was very miserable, and they were turned into ashes by the flames of the Buddha.

Obviously, he has no interest in becoming the Demon King Tripitaka, but it is a pity that he has so much demonic nature.

"Not to mention the scene when Sanzang finally returned to Chang'an City, Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, personally greeted him outside the city."
