Journey to the West begins with joining the Tiantian chat group

Chapter 147 Before arriving at Lingshan, the ferryman greeted him

After rescuing the bandits, everyone set off on the road again, heading west.

After leaving Diling County, I walked non-stop for about six or seven days when I suddenly saw tall buildings standing in front of me, a cloud pavilion soaring into the sky, and a fairy mist.

Everyone looked up:

The open-minded windows swallow the universe, the towering buildings connect the clouds,
The letter from the yellow crane comes to the autumn tree, and the letter from the colorful luan arrives at night when the wind is clear.

Linggong Baoque, Linguan Zhuting.

Talk in the real hall, preach the scriptures in the universe.

The flowers come to the United States in the spring, and the pine trees are green after the rain.

The fairy fruit of Zizhi is beautiful every year, and Danfeng Yixiang is very inspirational.

"Master, we have arrived at Lingshan!"

Looking at the Lingshan in front of him, Zhu Bajie's eyes were a little complicated.

Hearing this, Tang Sanzian nodded.

"Yeah, it's finally here. After walking for almost 20 years, I finally came to Lingshan."

Sun Wukong looked at the spiritual mountain in front of him, his heart was calm.

After today, the journey to the west will be over, and their team will be disbanded. After the journey to the west, he will prepare for Da Luo's breakthrough. By then, the sky will be high and birds can fly, and he will be free from the world.

When everyone walked to a cloud pavilion, they saw a Taoist priest waiting.

I saw the Taoist priest wearing brocade robes, holding a whisk in his hand, a jade basket hanging on his elbow, and walking on fairy shoes. His whole body was surrounded by fairy spirit, and he suddenly looked like an immortal.

"Is this person coming from the East to seek Buddhist scriptures?" the Taoist priest shouted.

Sun Wukong blinked and immediately recognized the Taoist priest.

This Taoist priest is the Golden Summit Immortal, who has been guarding the Yuzhen Temple. Whether it is an immortal or a Buddha, he will pass by here when he goes to Lingshan.

"Grandma Amita's Buddha was buried by the poor monk Tang San and paid homage to the old immortal."

Seeing this, the Jinding Immortal couldn't help laughing: "Tang Sanzhu, I have been waiting for you for nearly 20 years. Come in, after you wash away the mortal dust, you can go to the Lingshan Mountain to obtain scriptures."

Then everyone followed the Golden Summit Immortal and walked towards Yuzhen Temple.

After entering the temple, the Golden Summit Immortal led everyone directly to a fairy pond.

I saw the fairy mist inside, making it difficult to see the water below.The lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, shining with colorful rays of light.

"Tang San's burial, you are a mortal body, please wash away all the dirt and don't bring vulgarity into Lingshan." The golden-top immortal looked at Tang San's burial and said with a smile.

Looking at Xifanchi, Tang Sanzian nodded, and then he quickly stripped off his clothes and jumped in without hesitation.

Seeing this, the Golden Summit Immortal couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and then looked at Sun Wukong: "Great Sage, go in and wash yourself too. The water in the pool has endless mysteries."

hear the words
Sun Wukong couldn't help but look at the Golden Summit Immortal, and then he looked at the Xifan Pool. Could it be that the Xifan Pool is also useful to them?

The golden light flickered in his eyes, but after looking at it for a while, he didn't find anything strange.

Sun Wukong glanced at the Golden Summit Immortal, then said his thanks and jumped in.

After his body entered the Mortal Washing Pond, Sun Wukong discovered that the technique of washing the Mortal Pond actually had the effect of washing the soul, making the soul purer.

Feeling this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but look deeply at the Golden Summit Immortal.

Then he looked at Zhu Bajie and others on the shore and smiled and said: "Old Zhu, Lao Sha and Little Scorpion, you all come in and wash yourself, not to mention the water is quite comfortable."

hear the words
Zhu Bajie and others suddenly realized that this is beneficial.

The tacit understanding for many years is not just talk.

Then several people jumped in excitedly.

"Oh ho ho ho. This is so comfortable." After entering the water, Zhu Bajie immediately felt the effect of the water and couldn't help but look intoxicated.

The little scorpion, the white dragon horse, and the little white dragon entered the water one by one. After feeling the effect of the water, they couldn't help but scream and look excited.

The Golden-headed Immortal on the shore looked at the lively scene in the water and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Time passed, and after they felt that the soul-cleansing effect of the pool water had weakened to the point of being negligible, everyone slowly left.

"Tang Sanzan, when you leave my Yuzhen Temple, you can't ride a mount, you can't use the flying technique, you must take one step at a time, so that you can appear sincere."

The Golden Summit Immortal stood at the door of Yuzhen Temple and gave instructions.

At this time, Tang San was buried in brand new monk robes, holding a tin staff in his hand, the Buddha's crown had also been cleaned, and the brocade cassock was split on his shoulders, just like when he set out.

"Thank you, old fairy, for reminding me."

"Well~ let's go~ Leiyin Temple is ahead. I wish you a safe journey."

The Golden-crested Immortal said and disappeared at the door.

Then everyone got on the carriage and left. As for not being a guest, it was all a matter of hearing.

after all
Isn't it bullshit to want him to be a flower monk who drinks wine, eats meat, and has a wife sincerely?

Afterwards, the group of people walked five or six miles when they suddenly heard the sound of water coming from ahead.

Taking a closer look, I saw a stream of running water in front of me, with rolling waves and flying currents. It was eight or nine miles wide at a glance.

Not only that, there are cliffs on both sides, but there is only one single-plank bridge.

On the top of the bridge is written: Lingyun Ferry!

From a distance, the sky looks like a jade building, and from a close view, the water is dry.

It is easy to cross the river and cross the sea, but how can a person with a single beam cross it?

Wanzhang Hongni lies flat on the shadows, Qianxun Bailian meets the end of the world.

It is very smooth and muddy and difficult to cross, and it is in vain for the gods to step on the colorful clouds.

At this time, a man in the distance rowed over with a small boat.

When the boat stopped at the bottom of the cliff, Monkey King saw that the boat had no bottom.

Not surprisingly, this boatman is the guiding saint of Lingyundu.

However, as the body of a saint, Jieying Saint can only stay in the outer sky, so this person should be an incarnation of Jieying.

When he came to the shore, Jie Yin looked at Sun Wukong and others with a smile in his eyes.

When this journey to the west is over, Buddhism will flourish, which makes him unhappy.

"Elders who are going west, come down."

hear the words
Everyone nodded and jumped directly onto the boat.

Although the boat has no bottom, it feels like stepping on the ground.

There were quite a few of them, and it looked very crowded standing on the boat.

But inside the boat, it feels like there’s unlimited space and it’s not crowded at all.

Then, Jie Yin rowed the oar and rowed towards the other side of the river.

As the boat slid, the turbulent river water slapped against the bottomless boat, and suddenly strange energy eroded towards them from under their feet, trying to erase their true self and forcibly leave a mark of Buddhism.

Feeling this, Sun Wukong's eyes couldn't help but become cold: "Sure enough, there is a ghost. I knew it couldn't be so easy."

Lingyun Crossing is the last step to reach Lingshan Mountain. After passing it, you will reach Lingshan Mountain.

And for those who don't have a good impression of Buddhism, he didn't believe in Tathagata and didn't know along the way.

So, how can Tathagata make them surrender after arriving at Lingshan Mountain?

Now, it is obvious that the secret lies in Lingyun Ferry.

This Lingyun Crossing Mountain Sky has a restriction, and the river is connected to Buddhism. Anyone who crosses this river will be converted, and the imprint of Buddhism will be forcibly imprinted on the soul.

Only in this way will Buddhism treat them as one of its own. Otherwise, how could it be possible to grant them the title of Buddha without any restraints?

Looking at Zhu Bajie and Lao Sha, he found that their eyes were calm.

As if he could not sense this situation, seeing this, Sun Wukong knew that both Zhu Bajie and Lao Sha had protective treasures that could prevent the influence of Buddhism.

Thinking of the original book, the two were named as the envoys of the altar and the arhat. Obviously, these two are not their own people at all, and it is impossible to give them too much benefit.

Both Sun Wukong and Tang San were conferred the title of Buddha. Obviously, they had been converted by Buddhism.

This can also explain why Sun Wukong, who became the winner of the battle against Buddha, turned his heart to Buddhism and seemed to be a completely different person.

Feeling this, Sun Wukong found that this strange and dimensional energy automatically dissipated after touching his soul.

I saw a blue light flashing in his soul, protecting his soul tightly.

Feeling this, Sun Wukong suddenly realized that this was a chat group.

His soul is protected by the chat group, and these converted energies are of no use to him at all.

Then he silently looked at Tang Sanzong beside him. "How is it? Can it be solved?"

hear the words
Tang Sanbian knew what Sun Wukong wanted to say, which was nothing more than Jin Chanzi's resurrection.

He had already prepared for this matter. Jin Chanzi's true spirit would not resurrect him and replace him.

"Brother Monkey, don't worry. I'm prepared for this. That Jin Chanzi won't come back to life."

Nodding his head, seeing that Tang Sanzun was sure, Monkey King didn't say any more.

The bottomless ferry quickly reached the other side of Lingyun Ferry.

With a wave of his hand, everyone and their mounts immediately arrived on the shore, and then left.

Then the group continued forward.

Climbing up the mountain road, you soon saw a stone road with no end in sight.

On both sides of the stone road there are beautiful flowers of Yao Cao, and on the winding path there are fragrant purple zhizhi.

Look up.

At the end of the stone road, a pagoda appeared, reaching straight into the sky. Waves of golden light emitted from the end, and there were faint sounds of Sanskrit lingering.

The group of people moved forward along the stone road, and gradually, a huge group of Buddhist temples appeared in front of them.

I saw that every Buddhist temple was shining with bursts of golden light, and the sound of Sanskrit music reached my ears.

From time to time, their respective fairy birds fly in the sky, showing a peaceful atmosphere.

Soon, everyone arrived at the mountain gate.

The four Buddhist kings in front of the door have been waiting for a long time.

"Is the person coming here a holy monk from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Amitabha, the poor monk is Tang San from the Eastern Tang Dynasty who came here to seek the true scriptures."

After saying that, Tang Sanzong bowed with a pious expression.

This time, he looked like a completely different person.

See this
The four Vajras looked at each other, and then one Vajra bowed and said: "Holy Monk, wait for a moment, wait for me to go in and report."

So King Kong informed the second gate, and the second gate informed the third gate.

Immediately afterwards, the three divine monks came to the Mahavira Hall and met Tathagata Buddha.

"Buddha, there are Buddhist monks from the Tang Dynasty who came to see you."

"Order the monks in Lingshan to prepare to meet them."

"Yes, Buddha."

After the holy monks retreated, Tathagata Buddha used his supernatural power to call out the eight great Bodhisattvas, the four great Vajras, the five hundred Arhats, the three thousand Jie Di, the eleven Great Yao, and the eighteen Jialan to line up on both sides.

Then the decree was passed down and Tang San Burian and others were summoned into the palace.

……

Entering the hall, Sun Wukong looked at Tathagata and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

But there was no expression on his face, he just stood aside quietly like a little transparent.

He knew that when this level passed this time, the sky would be high enough for birds to fly, and the sea wide enough for fish to jump.

"Tang San's burial, are you here to learn the scriptures?"

Looking at the people below, Tathagata's eyes seemed to penetrate directly into people's hearts, as if they could see through them.

After hearing Tathagata's words, Tang Sanzang took a step forward, knelt on the ground and said, "Disciple Sanzang, by the decree of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the East, came to Lingshan to pray for the true scriptures to help all living beings, and also to hope that I, the Buddha, will show mercy. Give me the true scripture so that you can return to your country and resume your mission."

hear the words
The Tathagata looked at Tang Sanzang, who had profound Buddha nature. He smiled slightly at first, and then said seriously: "I have a collection of Dharma to talk about heaven; a collection of Sutras to talk about the earth; a collection of sutras to save ghosts. There are 35 collections of Tripitaka in total. The fifteen thousand and forty-four volumes are the sutras of cultivation and the door of righteousness. I am about to send them to the Eastern Land, but the people there are stupid and slander the truth. They do not understand the purpose of my Dharma and neglect the authentic teachings of Yoga. . How to find a person with magical power? Go to the Eastern Land to find a good believer and teach him to go through thousands of mountains and thousands of rivers. Come to me to obtain the true scriptures and spread them to the Eastern Land forever to persuade all living beings. But it is a huge blessing. , the good celebration of the deep sea.”

The meaning of Tathagata's words is that if I send it in person, the people in the East will think it is neglect or disbelief.

Then, I will let you personally go through hardships and travel through thousands of mountains and rivers to seek scriptures!

Of course, Tathagata's words are completely bragging. The actual situation is the general trend of heaven. Hongjun wants to make up for the cause and effect of the West. Otherwise, if Buddhism wants to spread eastward, it is completely wishful thinking.

But no matter what the real reason is, no one would foolishly demolish it.

"Disciple, I beg the Buddha to give me sutras so that we can return to the Tang Dynasty and spread the Buddha's mercy throughout the Eastern Land!" Tang Sanfu said piously.

Tathagata nodded, then looked at the two venerables on the side and said, "Anuo and Kasyapa."

"The disciple is here."

"You two take them to the Treasure Pavilion to receive the classics."

"Yes!"

The two venerables Anuo and Kasyapa took the order, and then left the Mahavira Hall with Tang Monk and his disciples.

Then the two sages took them to the Treasure Pavilion, but they did not take them in, but stopped in front of the Treasure Pavilion.

See this
Of course Sun Wukong knew that these two guys wanted to bribe or something. They just wanted to say that sutras should not be worn lightly.

Although Sun Wukong wanted to complain about this, he remained silent in the end.

Standing in front of the pavilion, Kasyapa smiled: "Elder Tang knows that the true scriptures are precious and cannot be passed on casually."

Seeing this, Sun Wukong was too lazy to write ink, and just wanted to get over it quickly.

Then take out all their money.

They really didn't lack money along the way.

"Two of you, with all due respect, is this enough?"

Then he threw the money into Kasyapa's arms.

Seeing this, the two Venerable Anuo Kassapa looked at the gold, silver and jewels in their arms, feeling very helpless.

But this is a rule set by the Buddha, and they have nothing to do.

Otherwise, it would be useless for them to ask for some money.

After collecting the money, they led them to the Treasure Pavilion.

Zhenbao Pavilion, the place where all scriptures in the Buddhist world are placed.

The Treasure Pavilion is nine stories high, and the first eight floors contain countless Buddhist dharma. It can be said that as long as you get the Treasure Pavilion, you can gain access to the entire Buddhist world.

After entering the Treasure Pavilion, Ah Nuoyi led everyone upstairs while whispering instructions.

"Elder Tang, please don't make any loud noises. There is a lamp-burning ancient Buddha on the ninth floor of the Treasure Pavilion. Please don't disturb the Buddha."

hear the words
Everyone Tang Sannian nodded.

Then everyone stopped until they reached the fifth floor.

"Don't you want to continue?"

Looking at the stop, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but ask.

Kasyapa glanced at Zhu Bajie and said proudly: "Further up is the Buddhist teachings of my Lingshan Mountain, which are not taught to outsiders. This fifth level is considered the best Buddhist teachings to be spread to outsiders."

Hearing this, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but curled his lips.

Then Anuo and Kasyapa took them into the fifth level.

"Elder Tang, this side is the Tripitaka Sutra, which the Buddha promised to you." Anuo pointed to a row of bookcases.

At the same time, Kasyapa reached out and opened several closed cabinets, which were also full of scriptures.

"Okay, let's start preaching now."

As he spoke, he took some scriptures from the cabinet and began to teach them.

After receiving the scripture, Sun Wukong opened it and read it. Sure enough, it was all wordless.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but look at the two of them with a sneer: "I don't know what this means."

"Ah this!"

Seeing this, Kasyapa's face couldn't help but stiffen.

"Haha, maybe we remembered it wrong, the scripture should be here."

Kasyapa then opened the cabinet on the other side, which contained scriptures with texts.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but snorted.

Afterwards, everyone began to pack the scriptures.

The Tripitaka Sutra, totaling 140 volumes, was placed neatly in a dozen large bundles by several people after most of a day.
