Journey to the West: Swallowed the Transformation Pill at the beginning

Chapter 427 Tang Monk returns to the East to make a deal with Xingyu Tathagata

Above the clouds, Tang Monk, who had experienced riding a cloud for the first time, had no expression on his face, but looked calm.

Zhu Bajie said curiously, "Master, why did you make that request to the Buddha? If so, what should you do if you can't achieve enlightenment?"

"That won't work!"

Tang Monk gritted his teeth and said, "Disciples, this poor monk is going to do something that may be an enemy of Buddhism. If the three of you are unwilling to follow, please disperse today!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong and the three others panicked.Sha Monk even said directly, "Master, what do you want to do? You must tell us."

"I won't hide anything from you, poor monk!"

Tang Seng said what he wanted to do, "As a teacher, I want to rectify Buddhism in the East."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong and the others were shocked again. Tang Seng's behavior was tantamount to betraying Buddhism. No wonder he wanted to drive away the three of them.

"Master!"

Sun Wukong opened his mouth and said, "It was you who rescued me from the Five Elements Mountain. No matter what you want to do, I will definitely help you to the end!"

"Ugh"

Zhu Bajie sighed and said, "Now that my lower body has recovered, I wanted to go have some fun, but since Master wants to do this, I can only accompany you. Let's talk about it first. Master, you can't stay hungry." pig."

Sha Monk said after a moment, "I have nowhere to go, so I have to follow Master. But Master, how did you come up with the idea of ​​doing such a thing?"

Listening to Sha Monk's question, Tang Monk sighed and said, "When I was in Fengxian County, I couldn't sleep at night and had a headache. Your master, Master Wenyuan, used the method of clearing all the leaks and saw me for the last time. .”

The three of them, Sun Wukong, looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. They were all around Tang Seng that night, but they didn't notice anything.

"That night..."

Tang Seng closed his eyes tightly and recalled what happened that night.

"Crazy"

Listening to the sudden voice in his ears, Tang Seng's half-asleep eyes opened instantly, and Master Wenyuan's old face appeared in front of him.

"Master!"

Tang Seng's eyes suddenly burst into tears, and he knelt down with a plop.

"Silly boy!"

Master Wenyuan bent down and helped Tang Seng up, "You are about to succeed, how can you give up at this time?" 2
"But along the way, too many people suffered disasters!"

Tang Monk whispered, "What's more, in the eyes of the disciples, everything in Xiniu Hezhou is far inferior to Nanzhan Buzhou. At least Nanzhan Buzhou is not like Xiniu Hezhou, where demons are rampant, and one demon even ate an entire country. The bastards of the common people.”

"So you have to change everything!"

Master Wenyuan said solemnly, "There is nothing wrong with the Buddhist scriptures advising people to do good, and the concept of equality of all living beings. What you have to do is to change the status quo, and make Buddhism a place that eliminates evil and supports good, and allows all living beings to enjoy peace and happiness. This is not the current situation of chanting sutras behind closed doors and protecting the villains..."

After listening to Wen Yuan's words for a long time, Tang Seng felt enlightened and immediately bowed to Master Wen Yuan.

"Remember, the teacher will be watching you silently from nine days away, don't let the teacher down."

After saying that, Master Wenyuan's figure turned into golden light and disappeared.

Listening to Tang Monk's words, Sun Wukong and the other three had their own thoughts, and the white dragon horse behind them also changed back to Ao Lie's attitude and said, "Master, I am willing to accompany you on this matter, but now I want to go back to Jing first. River Dragon Palace, pay respects to uncle and aunt!"

Tang Seng nodded and signaled Ao Lie to leave.

But there is one thing that even Tang Seng doesn't know.

That night, Tang Xingyu stood on the sky and looked at everything below, exhaled and said, "Fortunately, Wenyuan left a trace of emotion in the relic's mind, otherwise it would be really troublesome, but there are other troubles at the moment! "

After saying that, Tang Xingyu flew upwards.

Not long after, an unexpected figure appeared in front of him.

"We finally meet, Tathagata Buddha!"

Tang Xingyu looked at the man in front of him who was the same size as himself and said in a calm tone.

"This should be the second time the donor and I meet."

There was a hint of echo in Tathagata Buddha's voice, "The last time was when the donor wanted to forcibly destroy the Buddha's verses, but he was repelled by me."

"Buddha came to see Pindao late at night. Could it be that he was angry at my teachings to your second disciple?"

"No!"

Tathagata Buddha said with a smile, "I am naturally here to clarify the benefactor's doubts. After all, there are some things that only I can explain clearly."

"Is Nanzhan Buzhou really as unbearable as the Buddha said?"

As soon as Tang Xingyu finished his words, Tathagata smiled slightly and said, "Although Nanzhan Buzhou is not as beautiful as Dongshen Shenzhou, it is still much better than a barren land like Xiniu Hezhou! As for the human race, Tian Khan Li Shimin is also a generation He is a great man, but it's a pity that he doesn't know how to teach his children. Apart from being partial to his father, he can be called a perfect man! As for what I said, it's just a show of words."

After hearing this, Tang Xingyu would have laughed out loud if he hadn't lost all his passion.

"Then Buddha, do the Buddhists try their best to protect Xiniu Hezhou?"

Listening to Tang Xingyu's words, Tathagata Buddha still looked normal, "Wei Zeng, Xiniu Hezhou's current appearance can be said to be Lao Na's intentional act!"

After hearing this, Tang Xingyu was moved. Tathagata Buddha sneered, "The donor knows Lao Monkey's origin, why should he be so surprised!"

"Sure enough!"

Tang Xingyu's tone was still cold, "So, you are avenging your master again, Taoist Duobao!"

As soon as the last four words fell, the always steady Tathagata Buddha seemed to be struck by lightning. After a long time, he said, "Taoist Duobao, what a nostalgic name! Ever since the Supreme Saint came out of Hangu Pass, there has been no Duobao in the world." This is a Taoist!"

Tang Xingyu looked hot, but said nothing, and his eyes were calm.

"Yes, when the Supreme Saint sent me here, it was for the reason of ruining the fate of Buddhism that I agreed. But even the Six Saints don't know that Taoist Duobao has another identity!"

"Kinnara Bodhisattva!"

Tang Xingyu spat out another name, and Buddha Tathagata's complexion changed drastically. He turned to look at Tang Xingyu, and his eyes became fierce, "What else do you know?"

"I know a general idea, but I don't know the specific process either!"

Tang Xingyu said calmly, "Let me make it clear first, Tathagata Buddha, you came to me not just to answer my questions!"

"You should know that if I don't allow it, Tang Monk's transformation of Buddhism will never be completed!"

Tathagata Buddha said solemnly, "But as long as you promise me one thing, I can guarantee that no matter how much Tang Monk does in Nanzhan Buzhou, no one in Buddhism will disturb his actions!"

After hearing this, Tang Xingyu raised his eyebrows slightly and said indifferently, "What is your request? Can I listen to it?"

But when Tathagata's request was made, although Tang Xingyu had no lust, it still surprised him...

At this time, in the Xitian Leiyin Temple, Tathagata Buddha turned to Guanyin Bodhisattva and said, "How many disasters has Jin Chanzi experienced along the way?"

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva counted his fingers and said in a deep voice, "Jin Chanzi's calamity along the way has exceeded the number of ninety-nine. I wonder what the Buddha has planned?"

"Let him go!"

Tathagata Buddha said in a deep voice, "Preach my decree. No one in my Buddhist sect can stop any of Tang Sanzang's actions in the east. Anyone who disobeys the order will be expelled from the Buddhist sect!"

Listening to the words of Tathagata Buddha, all the Bodhisattva Vajra and others had doubts in their hearts, but no one asked questions, they just started thinking about it.At this time, Tang Seng and others arrived in the sky of Chang'an City on clouds.

Let us say that Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, sent Tang Monk out of the city in September of the 13th year of Zhenguan.

By the 16th year, officials from the Ministry of Industry were sent to build a scripture reading tower outside Chang'an Pass for the purpose of receiving scriptures. Li Shimin even visited the place in person every year.

At this time, Li Shimin happened to go upstairs with a few close officials. Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh.

The officials on the side knew Li Shimin's feelings, and none of them dared to say anything.

At this moment, a gust of fragrant wind blew, which directly caused the expressions of everyone present to change.

The next moment, the master and apprentice flew upstairs on the wind and came to Li Shimin.

"His Majesty!"

Tang Monk clasped his hands together and was about to bow down, but was stopped by Li Shimin, "My dear brother, after fourteen years of separation, you are finally back!"

Tang Seng said quickly, "I have gone through many difficulties and dangers along the way, and finally I was able to retrieve the scriptures. Goodbye Your Majesty's holy face!"

After speaking, Tang Seng introduced his three apprentices to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin saw Tang Monk's three apprentices, he nodded and said, "My dear brother, you have had a hard journey along the way. Let's go back to Hongfu Temple to rest for one night. Let's talk to me in detail about what we saw and heard along the way tomorrow!"

Tang Monk nodded and rode back to Chang'an with Li Shimin, and parted at the city gate.

At the same time, more than a dozen pine trees in Hongfu Temple noticed Tang Monk's return, and their crowns tilted directly to the east.

Upon seeing this change, several monks who were familiar with Monk Tang were overjoyed and said, "Elder Tang is back, Elder Tang is back..."

The monk who didn't know the truth looked over curiously.

I saw a few monks rushing out with a change of monk's robes, and one of them said, "Elder Tang, who went to the West in the past, told us when he left that if he comes back, the tree crown of the whole temple will move eastward! "

At this time, the monk Zhike outside the door led Tang Seng and his disciples back to Hongfu Temple.

The master and disciples were immediately surrounded by a group of monks and started chatting.

At this time, in the palace, Li Shimin, whose hair was already over half white, had a look of sadness on his face.

"His Majesty!"

The chamberlain on the side quickly said, "Today the holy monk returns, your majesty should be the eminent monk, right?"

Li Shimin sighed and said, "Yes, Yudi is back, but the eldest grandson will not come back, and I'm afraid Cheng Qian will not come back either!"

"My condolences, Your Majesty!"

Although the chief chamberlain said this, he was very speechless in his heart. He said in his heart, "In the past, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was here, His Majesty would blow his beard and glare all day long, and would be whipped at every turn. What's more, even though those royal princes were there, Shi found fault with the prince in every possible way. Even when the prince was running horse races with several young men from aristocratic families, he was accused of forming cliques for personal gain and playing with things to lose one's ambition..."

After a while, the head chamberlain quickly said, "Your Majesty, since Elder Tang can return safely from Xitian Leiyin Temple, why not inform Elder Tang tomorrow about the fact that His Royal Highness was kidnapped by the demon, and let his disciples see if they can Rescue His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin felt as if he had been given a shot in the arm, and he immediately said, "This makes sense. I will tell my younger brother tomorrow that his three disciples seem to have great powers."

"Ah Choo, Ah Choo, Ah Choo!"

Sun Wukong and the three of them sneezed at the same time and couldn't help but touch their noses.

"It's weird!"

Sun Wukong said curiously, "My old grandson has now become a Buddha, and has already achieved the realm of half-step Daluo. Today he actually sneezed!"

"Maybe someone is talking about us!"

While talking, Zhu Bajie shivered and said, "I don't know why, but my old pig always feels that something bad will happen tomorrow!"

"You idiot!"

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Now that we have arrived at the capital of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible for any goblins to come here to look for trouble. What's more, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is a leader among people, so it is impossible to embarrass us!"

"Elder Brother is right!"

Sha Seng said quickly, "Second Senior Brother, maybe you didn't have enough food at night, so..."

"Screw you!"

Zhu Bajie smiled and scolded, "You two simply don't listen to good people, and you will suffer a loss before your eyes. Anyway, let's wait until tomorrow!"

After saying that, the three people fell asleep one after another.

Early on the next morning, after the master and disciple changed their clothes, they also wore cassocks and came to the Highness.

Tang Monk asked his three disciples to stand under the jade steps for the time being, while he walked into the main hall with several volumes of scriptures.

As soon as he saw Tang Seng arriving, Li Shimin quickly asked Tang Seng to sit down and started chatting with him.

After a while, Li Shimin revealed what was hidden in his heart.

"My dear brother, I heard what you said. It was only through the protection of your three apprentices that we were able to reach the West safely. I wonder where the three of them came from?"

Tang Monk answered truthfully, "The eldest disciple, Sun Wukong, was the Monkey King who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace 500 years ago. Later, I, Buddha, Tathagata, crushed me under the Two Realms Mountain. The poor monk rescued him when he passed by the Liangjie Mountain. The second disciple, Zhu Wuneng, , was the Tianpeng Marshal who commanded the Tianhe navy in the Tiangong, and was demoted to the lower world for molesting Gong'e after drinking. The third disciple, Sha Wujing, was the rolling curtain general beside the Jade Emperor. He was demoted for breaking a glass cup by mistake. Down to earth..."

Hearing that Tang Seng's three apprentices had such origins, Li Shimin couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly held Tang Seng's hands and said, "My dear brother, I have something to entrust to your three apprentices. Please help me."

Li Shimin's voice did not escape the three Sun Wukong people under the jade steps.Sun Wukong then sent a message to his two junior brothers, "You idiot was right, this King of Tang really wants to trouble us!"

Zhu Bajie said matter-of-factly, "I guess this matter is not a big one, otherwise King Tang would not let the three of us do it at the same time!"

"Listen first!"

After Sun Wukong finished speaking, his ears heard the movement inside again. "On the second year after Yudi set out, a big change occurred in the court!"

Li Shimin said uncomfortably, "That day was the third day of June. At that time, I scolded the prince in the court and asked the guards to drag him away because the imperial censor reported that the prince lost his ambition by playing with things and was obsessed with pleasure."

Upon hearing this, Tang Seng was stunned. Prince Li Chengqian was a benevolent, filial, and good man, and had always been a wise man in Chang'an City.Although he was in the temple, he had heard some stories about Prince Chengqian, and he immediately felt that Li Shimin had told the wrong person!

Before Tang Monk could ask, Li Shimin continued, "At that moment, a dark wind rushed into the court, knocked the two guards to the ground, and hugged Cheng Qian!"
