Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 774 Guanyin Temple
This is the current situation. The disaster of the human race was dispelled by Xuanzang, while the disasters arranged by Buddhism in advance at Shuangcha Ridge, Liangjie Mountain, and Yingchoujian were calm and did not dispel much of the cause and effect of the disaster of heaven and earth. Now, the disaster energy gathered in these disaster places has begun to flow to Xiniuhezhou with Xuanzang and his party, and dispersed to other disaster places.

The calamity energy gathered in other disaster areas, and the power of the great calamity of heaven and earth increased. Neither Buddhism nor the monks who participated in the great calamity of heaven and earth wanted to see it. But Buddhism could not control Xuanzang, so even if they were dissatisfied and uneasy in their hearts, they could do nothing?
Everything in the world has two sides, yin and yang are opposites. Although the Buddhist plan to split the heaven and earth is good, but the sky has yin and yang, the moon has waxing and waning, how can the world's affairs be perfect?
Since the Shuangcha Ridge disaster, the great powers of the heavens have gained a better understanding of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth through the changes in the catastrophe energy. The catastrophe energy flowing in the great catastrophe of heaven and earth has also become an extremely important means for the great powers of the heavens to distinguish the great catastrophe of heaven and earth.

……

Beside Yingchou Stream, Mu Zha hesitated for a long time, looked at Yingchou Stream with great reluctance, and then stepped onto the cloud and left.

If a cultivator can escape the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, he will have great fortune and great merit!

As a direct disciple of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Mu Zha naturally had the advantage of being close to the water and being the first to participate in the great catastrophe of heaven and earth.

Unfortunately! God does not fulfill people's wishes. This time, the great calamity of heaven and earth was full of misfortunes. Even Guanyin Bodhisattva could do nothing about it, let alone Mu Zha.

Xuanzang and his party did not know that Mu Zha had been to Yingchoujian after he left! Of course, even if Xuanzang knew that Mu Zha had been there, he would not care. If Guanyin Bodhisattva had come to Yingchoujian in person, Xuanzang would still be cautious. Mu Zha was just a person who was not qualified to be valued by Xuanzang.

The huge mountain range where Yingchoujian and Liangjie Mountain are located is the mountain range that divides Nanshanbuzhou and Xiniuhezhou. After crossing this huge mountain range that divides the two continents, Xuanzang and his party completely left Nanshanbuzhou and entered Xiniuhezhou!
After Xuanzang and his party crossed the mountains, the rest of the journey was much smoother!

As we got further away from the mountains, we met more and more people along the way!

Since Xuanzang wanted to spread the Dharma to the world, he was naturally in no hurry to travel! Every two or three days, he would stop to preach, either in a town, at a market, or in a village!

Although Xuanzang's cultivation and supernatural powers are not obvious, his understanding of the Buddhist teachings is indeed amazing! The foundation accumulated by Jin Chanzi in ten reincarnations has made Xuanzang's understanding of Buddhism outstanding even in Lingshan.

Xuanzang, along with his monkey clone and Ao Lie, had only been preaching on the border of Xiniu Hezhou for a few months when his reputation suddenly rose and he became a rare great monk.

One day, after Xuanzang and his party finished preaching in a market town, they missed the camping spot because they were in a hurry to get on with their journey. Fortunately, the three of them were not ordinary people, so they didn't care where to camp. Just as the three of them walked around a forest and prepared to rest in the shelter behind the forest, they saw a building in the valley from a distance that looked like a Buddhist temple. When the three of them saw it, they were instantly delighted and ran straight towards it. When they arrived in front of the mountain gate, they found that it was indeed a Buddhist temple.

The three of them looked around and saw that the Buddhist temple had all the halls, pavilions, corridors, bells, drums and tall towers. There were dense pine, cypress and bamboo trees inside and outside the temple. It was truly a quiet and peaceful place for practicing Zen and studying Buddhism.

The three stood in front of the mountain gate for a moment and were about to go in when they saw a group of monks coming.

Xuanzang has been preaching in towns and villages these days, and he has also seen Buddhist disciples from Xiniu Hezhou! The attire of the Buddhist disciples from Xiniu Hezhou is very different from that of the Buddhist disciples from Nanshanbuzhou. Most of the Buddhist disciples from Xiniu Hezhou wear left-handed hats and pure clothes. Xuanzang is not surprised by the attire of the Buddhist disciples from Xiniu Hezhou, but the monks are very curious about the strange attire of Xuanzang and his group.

"Amitabha, nice to meet you all, masters!" When he saw the monk, Xuanzang stepped forward to greet him first!
Seeing Xuanzang's extraordinary demeanor, the monks hurried forward and greeted him, "Amitabha, hello, Master!" The leading monk asked, "Master, you look like my Buddhist disciple. I wonder where you are from!"

Xuanzang said softly: "I am a poor monk, Xuanzang, from the Tang Dynasty of Southern Continent!"

The monks were shocked when they heard this and hurriedly invited Xuanzang and the other two to come in and serve them tea.

Since Buddhism entered the Southern Continent in a big way, everything about the Southern Continent has been widely spread in the Western Continent! In addition, the Tang Dynasty was established, and it inherited the luck of the human race in the Earthly Immortal Realm. The current Southern Continent Tang Dynasty is definitely a paradise for the human race in the Western Continent. Although these monks are Buddhist disciples, they are also human beings. Therefore, when they heard that Xuanzang came from the Southern Continent Tang Dynasty, how could they not respect him!

Everything in the world follows the logic of the strong. The prestige of the Tang Dynasty shocked the entire earthly world. How could the people of Xi Niu Hezhou not yearn for it? You know, whether in the world of cultivation or in the secular world, everything the strong have is sought after by the weak. And Xuanzang is now blessed by the Tang Dynasty!

Xuanzang and his two companions followed the monks into the mountain gate, and then they saw the words "Guanyin Zen Temple" written on the main hall. Looking at the plaque on the main hall and the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the center of the main hall, Xuanzang realized that this Buddhist temple was passed down by Guanyin Bodhisattva. So Xuanzang solemnly bowed to the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva!
The elder of Jinshan Temple, where Xuanzang became a monk since childhood, was the Dharmakāya of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. It can be said that Xuanzang was raised by Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. When Xuanzang left Jinshan Temple and went to Chang'an to attend the Tang Dynasty Imperial Master Dharma Assembly, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva also took care of Xuanzang. Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Xuanzang had to perform this Buddhist ritual. Of course, Xuanzang respected Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva! However, the journey to the west to spread the Dharma and obtain the scriptures was a great struggle, and Xuanzang would never compromise or give in!

Xuanzang had just finished paying homage to the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the main hall when a large group of monks rushed in from behind the hall. The monk in the lead was old but he did not stagger when he walked, and it was obvious that he was a monk with great accomplishments!

Before the old monk came close, he shouted, "Master of the Tang Dynasty! Where is the Master of the Tang Dynasty?"

Xuanzang took a step forward, put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Xuanzang from the Tang Dynasty has met the old Zen master!"

The old monk narrowed his eyes, looked at Xuanzang and said, "The master came from the Tang Dynasty!"

Xuanzang nodded and said, "I am indeed from the Tang Dynasty!"

The old monk then asked, "This place is separated from the Tang Dynasty by many mountains. How did the master get here?"

Xuanzang smiled and said, "I came here to seek the truth and to spread the Dharma!"

After hearing this, the old monk's eyes flashed with a gleam of light! As a disciple of Guanyin Bodhisattva, this old monk was arranged by Guanyin Bodhisattva to be the abbot of a Buddhist temple on the road that Xuanzang must take on his journey to the west. He was definitely not such a simple person.

The old monk had known about Xuanzang's vow to the heaven and his journey to the west to spread the Dharma! Moreover, the old monk had already recognized Xuanzang's identity. The old monk asked this question just now just to verify the truth of the rumor.

"Master, you are so courageous! You are teaching the Dharma to the Tao! " The old monk concealed the gleam in his eyes and sighed softly!
