Martial Arts: Immortality Begins from The Deer and the Cauldron

Chapter 1003 The Beginning of the Eighty-One Dilemma

These monks actually eat meat? And they can eat it better than them. Do they deserve to be monks? There was contempt on their faces.

After these monks had satisfied their appetites, they remembered that they were Buddhists, but they had already finished eating the meat. Looking at the bones scattered on the ground, guilt appeared on each of their faces.

“Amitabha, sin, sin, sin!”

Tang Sanzang also looked confused.

Seeing the repentant looks on these monks' faces, Qin Ran laughed secretly in his heart and hurriedly said:
  "Masters, you don't have to be like this. If you really can't let go of your regrets, you can recite the Purana Sutra and transcend them."

All the monks, including Tang Sanzang, suddenly came to their senses.
  "Good, Duke Qin is right about what he said!"

"Master Qin is indeed a benevolent man!"

Including Tang Sanzang, all the monks sat down cross-legged, closed their eyes, and recited scriptures silently, and the whole hall was buzzing.

"Bah, these monks are so sanctimonious"

"What Master Tripitaka? How shameless!"

The two waiters were rough men with a sweet temperament. Having seen all this, he could not help but despise these monks even more, and started to curse directly in the main hall.

None of these monks seemed to have heard anything and continued to recite the scriptures silently.

Tang Sanzang, on the other hand, paused for a moment. He escaped into Buddhism when he was a child, devoted himself to the Buddha, and even made a great wish that if he did not obtain the true scriptures, he would fall into the hell of reincarnation forever.
  Today I broke all the rules and regulations. How could I see the Buddha? I felt extremely uncomfortable inside. The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. Suddenly I started crying in the main hall.

The monks who were reciting sutras opened their eyes one after another and looked at Master Tripitaka. They had great respect for this dignified Master Tripitaka because he was not only profound in Buddhism but also had lofty ambitions. In order to obtain the true scriptures, he even made a great oath. willing. Here we go to the Western Heaven, with high mountains and far rivers, steep mountains and steep cliffs, and countless tigers, leopards and demons. He can actually not take any notice of it. He can be called an eminent monk.
  But at this moment, they felt a little disdain for this eminent monk. They devoured the meat just now, and now they are crying here after eating. It is really hypocritical.

And everyone ate it, but you were the only one crying afterward. What's going on?
  Are you mocking us for not having compassion?
  But although they despised him in their hearts, they did not say it with their mouths, because after all, Tang Monk was the sworn brother of Emperor Tang, and they were not willing to offend him easily.

Seeing Tang Monk crying more and more sadly, Qin Ran advised: "Master Tripitaka, I wonder why you are crying?"

Tang Sanzang's face was full of tears, and he said sadly: "Master Qin, this poor monk broke the rules and precepts today. He is really a monk in vain. Even if he reaches the Lingshan Mountain one day, he may not have the face to see the Buddha. Thinking of this, he feels bad. Not yum."

Qin Ran also hoped to distort Tang Monk's three views and dilute the fate of Buddhism, but he was not allowed to have such "dangerous" thoughts, so he said sincerely: "If Master is crying because of this, there is no need."

"Why?" Tang Seng was a little surprised.

"Excuse me, Master, why do you Buddhist disciples meditate and study Buddhist scriptures on weekdays?
  "Of course it is to gain perfect wisdom and become a Buddha as soon as possible."

"No, as the saying goes, cultivating Buddhism means cultivating one's mind. Aren't you doing this to cultivate a Buddha's heart?"

Many monks in the main hall looked at Qin Ran with admiration on their faces.

"Master Qin is indeed a man of great wisdom."

"Yes, the reason why we meditate is to cultivate the Buddha's mind."

"As the saying goes, all kinds of demons are born in the heart, all kinds of things are wiped out in the mind, wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha's heart remains. Since it is cultivating the mind, if you can't even let go of your own mind, how can you cultivate the Buddha's mind?" Qin Ran's voice was filled with magic power and resounded throughout the entire Heavenly Palace.

All the monks, including Tang Sanzang, suddenly felt their hearts tremble and looked at Qin Ran blankly, feeling a sense of enlightenment.

Since you are cultivating your mind, why should you care about external objects?
  "What Mr. Qin said is true, we are in trouble."

"I have been practicing Buddhism for decades, but I can't even see through these things. I am really a monk in vain."

These monks suddenly felt less guilty for breaking the Buddhist precepts just now.

Tang Sanzang stood up directly, walked directly to Qin Ran, and held his hand with excitement on his face.
  "Master Qin is really a man born with a Buddha's heart. He actually solved the knot in my heart with just one sentence. I admire him very much." The two waiters, seeing Qin Ran's two words, bluffed dozens of monks. He was stunned for a moment, and he was praising him so much that he even forgot to recite the Purana Sutra. He felt admiration in his heart. Mr. Qin was indeed a born god.

The two of them looked at each other and made up their minds. From now on, they must only follow Master Qin's instructions. Even if they cannot become an immortal, they can still be valued by the Emperor of Tang when they return to the court and strive for an official position.

After listening to Qin Ran's words, these monks felt relieved and already a little sleepy because they were too full, so they each returned to their rooms and went to bed to sleep.

After Qin Ran and Tang Sanzang rested for the night, they left Famen Temple.

The monks in the temple had been sent away for more than ten miles, but they still couldn't bear to say goodbye. With tears in their eyes, they looked at the retreating figures of Qin Ran and others, and couldn't stop sighing in their hearts.

After Mr. Qin leaves here, I wonder when he will be able to enjoy such delicious food again?
  This time, Tang Monk rode on the horse for only one day before he was tired and stopped. Qin Ran and the two guards sent by Emperor Tang had no choice but to be considerate of him.

Tang Seng secretly glanced at the two waiters in front and saw that they were herding their horses, so he quietly pulled Qin Ran aside.

"Master Tripitaka, what do you have to say?" Qin Ran was a little confused.

"Master Qin, this poor monk is hungry. I wonder if there is any meat left?" Tang Monk said a little embarrassed.

Then he seduced Tang Monk so that he could break the precepts with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, this holy monk fell into defeat so quickly. He smiled gently and said, "I don't know what Master wants to eat. I'll buy some from a restaurant in a nearby city."

"Yesterday's eight-treasure duck tasted so delicious, even now I think about it and it still tastes delicious." Tang Seng was overjoyed when he saw Qin Ran casually agreeing.

No wonder this monk is so active. It turns out he is addicted to eating.

"Master Sanzang, don't be polite. If you want to eat anything in the future, just ask me." After hearing this, Tang Monk felt even more happy and thanked him repeatedly.

In just a few quarters of an hour, Qin Ran prepared a banquet with all the colors, flavors and aromas.

After getting along with each other for a period of time, Tang Seng was already accustomed to Qin Ran's magical powers. After a hearty meal, the four of them set off on their way. Along the way, Tang Monk ate a lot of fish and meat every day, and his whole body became plump.

The four of them rode horses to Gongzhou City, and were greeted by officials. Tang Seng was the emperor's sworn brother. Of course, these officials did not dare to neglect him and treated him warmly.

After walking for another two or three days, we finally arrived at Hezhouwei, which was the mountain and river border of Datang.

Qin Ran then ordered the two attendants to go back, there was no need to send them off again, because once they left the border of the Tang Dynasty, the mountains and mountains were covered with tigers, leopards and monsters, and they two mortals could not help much.

Qin Ran and Tang Sanzang walked and stopped, setting up a log table every few miles and serving various dishes for a hearty meal. Tang Sanzang's whole body became more and more rounded. In the past few days, under Qin Ran's guidance, Tang Sanzang learned to drink again.

After a big meal, Tang Monk rode on his horse drunkenly. The two of them walked for dozens of miles and finally came to a mountain. The road here was rugged and overgrown with vegetation.

Riding a horse was not feasible at all. Qin Ran helped Tang Monk dismount, and the two of them led the horse to plow the grass to find the way. The sky was dark, the moon was rising, and there was something strange everywhere in the mountain forest.

Tang Seng couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and he woke up a little from his drunkenness, and said in fear,
  "Master Qin, are there no monsters here?"

This monk actually knew about monsters. According to Qin Ran's knowledge, there should be three monsters here, Xiong Shanjun, General Yin, Special Officer,
  In the original time and space, this was Tang Seng's first difficulty after leaving Chang'an. These three monsters captured Tang Seng and two waiters, and the two waiters were eaten by the three monsters.

But Tang Seng was safe and sound, which shows that there must be a lot of mystery in this.

While he was thinking, suddenly a strong wind rolled in the forest, almost blowing Tang Monk away. Qin Ran's palms surged with light, and he dispersed the strong wind with one palm.

There was a loud roar in the air.

"Where to go!"

Fifty or sixty green-faced, fanged, terrifying mountain spirits and monsters suddenly emerged from the sky. This was the first time Tang Sanzang saw the monsters. He was extremely frightened, his face turned pale, his body went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.
