Martial Arts: Immortality Begins from The Deer and the Cauldron

Chapter 1342

No longer need to bear those strange looks when visiting a brothel.

In fact, generally when a monk returns to secular life, he does not need to hold such a complicated ceremony. He only needs to inform the monks in the temple.

But Tang Sanzang was different. He was not an ordinary monk. He wanted to return to secular life smoothly, but he was faced with many difficulties. The bunch of wimps in Buddhism would definitely try their best to thwart him.

That's why he appealed to the king. In this way, his return to secular life would be more convincing if it was witnessed by the king and the virtuous and distinguished monks in the country.

And it has to be fast, even if Buddhism reacts, it will be too late.

"Master Tripitaka, you are a holy monk of the Tang Dynasty. You have gone through all kinds of hardships all the way here. Why do you suddenly have the idea of ​​returning to secular life?" A young monk asked in confusion.

"I don't have a heart, but I have carefully considered it." Tang Sanzang stood on the high platform and shared his experiences along the way.

"On this journey, I have encountered all kinds of monsters and demons, and seen all kinds of suffering in the world... Cultivating Buddhism means cultivating the mind. If there are distracting thoughts in the mind, how can the four elements be empty? So I want to become a monk and return to secular life, and fulfill my wish..."

An old monk with a white eyebrow and a good temperament asked: "If you say so, what wish does the holy monk have that he can't let go of?"

Tang Sanzang stared at the old monk and said enigmatically: "Looking at the master's age, he should have not yet entered the sea of ​​suffering, and the depth of it is unknown, right?"

"What depth?" the old monk asked blankly.

The surrounding monks were also confused. This holy monk from the Tang Dynasty had profound Buddhist teachings, and they couldn't understand what he said.
  Tang Sanzang said without changing his expression: "The poor monk has a Zen staff, which is very powerful..."

The surrounding group of eminent monks had their heads full of questions. They became more and more confused as they listened. What on earth did this eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty mean? He kept saying something here and there. Could it be that it was some kind of profound Buddhist saying?
  It has a deep meaning, because they have shallow cultivation, so they can't understand it?
  "I have been practicing Buddhism since I was a child. I have practiced Buddhism for so many years. I can't understand the Zen meaning in the words of the holy monk. I am really ashamed!" An old monk looked ashamed, shook his head and sighed.

The little emperor next to him blushed, but because he was in awe of Qin Ran, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare. These monks were a little worried about their intelligence.

With the smell of rouge and gouache on his body, any fool would know that Tang Sanzang was a monk with six impure roots and a belly full of guts.

While Tang Sanzang was boasting and competing with a group of old monks, the little emperor quietly came to Qin Ran and said respectfully, "Master Qin, I still have something to ask for."

"Don't worry, I have subdued that jade-faced vixen. As long as you work diligently and love the people, and don't do anything that harms the peace of heaven, the Bhikkhu Parliament will be fine and enjoy peace forever." Qin Ran glanced at him and said lightly.
  When the little emperor saw Qin Ran, he could see his thoughts at a glance. His attitude became more respectful and he said in fear: "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your teaching. I will definitely remember it."

Qin Ran glanced at Tang Sanzang with some pity, feeling that this monk was taking it for granted. He usually ate meat, drank wine, visited brothels, and even Buddhists could turn a blind eye.

But returning to secular life with such high profile and fanfare may not be that easy, and Buddhism will definitely not agree to it. Because this involves bottom line issues and is equivalent to rebellion. If you want to acquire Mahayana Buddhist scriptures but don't want to be a monk, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
  When the time comes, I will be punished by Buddhism and I will be honest.
  At this time, the Dharma of the Glazed Light King Buddha appears easily in the sky. Accompanied by the whirling sound of Zen, the golden lotus appears and disappears, and the Dharma illuminates the world.

"Amitabha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, has been practicing the deep Prajnaparamita for a long time, and has seen that the five aggregates are all empty, and has endured all hardships. The relics are not empty in color."

The faces of many eminent monks, monarchs, and common people present suddenly showed expressions of confusion, as if something had been struck in their hearts, and they had strong thoughts of escaping into Buddhism. Tang Sanzang, who was looking excited, was suddenly startled. Then his expression changed crazily.

The scriptures were like a great bell, every word came into my mind, and a strong sense of regret arose in my heart. I regretted that I should not have become a monk and returned to secular life.
  "Medicine Buddha?" Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Buddhism would move so quickly and actually send a Buddha.

Now this bullshit return to secular life meeting will definitely not go on, the master will probably be lifted up and beaten.

Qin Ran flicked out a stream of light, and a golden bell suddenly appeared in the vast sky. The golden bell shook suddenly three times. The light of the law shines everywhere, the Buddha's light, and the golden lotus disappear like the bubbles of a dream.

The monks, monarchs, civil and military officials below, including Tang Sanzang, suddenly came back to their senses as if they were awakening from a dream. They looked at the King Buddha of Glazed Light in the sky and felt a sense of fear for some reason.

Tang Sanzang was startled, stepped forward to pay homage and said: "Greetings to the Buddha."

Now the only choice is to give in decisively, after all, the arm cannot twist the thigh.

"Tang Sanzang, you are charged with the great task of obtaining scriptures. What does this mean?" After the method of Liuliguang King Buddha was defeated, he was not surprised and asked with compassion on his face.

"Reporting to the Buddha, this disciple has not finished his mortal life and has distracting thoughts in his mind, so he wants to become a monk and return to secular life." Tang Sanzang said respectfully.

This Medicine Buddha practiced medicine to save the world, his name spread throughout the world, and he did countless good deeds. Tang Sanzang respected this kind of person from the bottom of his heart.

"You must think clearly. If you become a monk and return to secular life, you will no longer be qualified to obtain the Mahayana Sutra." The Glazed Light King Buddha looked neither sad nor happy.

Tang Sanzang suddenly became anxious and asked quickly, "Buddha said that all living beings are equal, why must only Buddhist disciples be qualified to obtain Mahayana Buddhist scriptures?"

Learning Buddhist scriptures was a political task for Emperor Tang, and he couldn't do it if he didn't complete it.
  "Tang Sanzang, do you know that you will encounter various difficulties along the way?"

"Why?"

"It is just to test your devotion to the Buddha. If your devotion to the Buddha is not sincere, even if you obtain the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, you will not be able to save sentient beings."

"The core essence of the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures is the word compassion. If you want to save yourself, you must first save others."

"Buddha, if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell will do so!"

The voice of the Glazed Light King Buddha is plain, neither sad nor happy.

Tang Sanzang felt irritable for no reason. To put it nicely, this is the reason why you tormented me along the way. He never wanted to be a monk for a day.

He is always on tenterhooks. Not only do he have to be worried about the monsters, but he also has to be on guard against the Buddhist gangsters.

"Buddha, can Mahayana Buddhist scriptures really save the world?"

Tang Sanzang questioned.

"That's natural." Glazed Light King Buddha affirmed.

"But why have disciples witnessed all kinds of suffering since the moment they set foot in Hezhou, Xiniu? All living beings are in distress, and the situation becomes worse the further west they go?
  In the lion and camel country, the golden-winged roc can eat all the people of the country. In the monk country, what happened was that the king plotted the lives of the children of the country. It was simply appalling and sent chills down the spine. I'm afraid that Shura Hell is nothing more than this.

In comparison, my Tang Dynasty is like heaven.

This place is very close to the Western Heaven! All living beings believe in Buddhism, why are they inferior to animals? Not to mention dignity, even life cannot be guaranteed. "

"They all say that my Buddha is compassionate, so why do the real Buddhas and Bodhisattvas ignore this?"

The more Tang Sanzang talked, the angrier he became, and he vented all the anger that had accumulated in his heart during this period, purely because his life had been too depressing during this period of time.

The various dark things that happened in these places one after another verified the dark things that Qin Ran said.
  Buddha is not compassionate!
  Silent and speechless, they are more indifferent than ordinary creatures. What is even more sad is that they are directly involved in some dirty things.

He didn't care about other people's affairs, but he still pretended to be compassionate to all living beings, which caused his previous belief to collapse. "Everything is determined. This is your creation, and no one else can interfere with it." The Glazed Light King Buddha said helplessly after being choked.

It seems that Buddhism has been careless and paid less attention to Journey to the West. Tang Sanzang had great opinions on Buddhism.

What the hell is my creation? The corner of Tang Sanzang's mouth twitched hard, and he was so angry that he wanted to curse his mother. Why the hell did all this happen because of me?
  Because he wanted to learn from the experience, that's why all these bad things happened? Can the shit basin be smashed like this?
  "Then I would like to ask Buddha, if you eat a bite of Tang Monk's meat and you will live forever, who are the bastards who spread this news?" Tang Sanzang asked unhappily, squinting his eyes.

"Is this also a foregone conclusion?"

Sun Wukong, Sha Monk was confused after hearing this, and couldn't help but look at Tang Sanzang with admiration. Is this still the cowardly master he once was?
  Not long ago, he provoked Vajrapani Bodhisattva, but now he even dares to challenge the Buddha. He is becoming more and more aggressive. Are you really not afraid of being slapped to death?
  Qin Ran was not surprised at all. Although the monk didn't say it on the surface, he had been suppressing it for a long time.

In Chasai country, he was beaten in a brothel by a group of guards, criticized by the people all over the country, poisoned by Vajrapani Bodhisattva, had diarrhea and farted, and made a fool of himself.

Jindou Mountain was chased and intercepted by a group of monsters and fell into a cesspit. All kinds of tragic experiences could not be exhausted day and night.
  All of this must be blamed on Buddhism! If it breaks out now, it is no joke.

The Glazed Light King Buddha was furious and said angrily: "How outrageous, Tang Sanzang, are you questioning whether I am a Buddha?"

A piece of Buddha light emerged, and the figures of the Glazed Light King Buddha and Tang Sanzang disappeared in an instant, appearing in an invisible realm of Buddhism. Even Sun Wukong Sha Monk was isolated.

The onlookers were stunned for a moment, and dispersed on their own as if they had lost their memory.

Qin Ran looked at the Glazed Light King Buddha in the light world and curled his lips in disdain. Now that he knew it was embarrassing, why did he go there so early?
  "I don't dare, I just want to ask the Buddha, is all this God's will or arranged in advance?"

"If it was arranged in advance, which bastards deliberately harmed the poor monk?"

"If the Buddha knew about it, he would greet his family on behalf of his disciples after he returns!"

Tang Sanzang's saliva flew everywhere, and the more he spoke, the angrier he became.
  The Glazed Light King Buddha still had a compassionate look on his face at first, but the more he listened, the more confused his expression became. It is true that some things Buddhism did in the past were not authentic, but those were all secretly done by Journey to the West Bian Shu, and Buddhism was also a victim.

Unexpectedly, these things hurt Tang Sanzang so deeply! So much so that he hated Buddhism to such an extent.

The Glazed Light King Buddha stared at Tang Sanzang, his expression gradually becoming serious. Does this guy know too much? This kid must not be kept!
  At least all memories must be erased, otherwise with such a deep hatred towards Buddhism, there will definitely be more and more variables in the future, which will cause headaches for some Buddhists.

The King of Glazed Light Buddha chants the mantra, has a golden body of Buddha Dharma, and radiates great concentration.

"Relics, all dharmas are empty, neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing."

The shadow of a golden hammer appeared in the sky and struck Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang's expression suddenly froze, and various invisible things seemed to be scattered in his brain, pieces of which were his memories. After a long time, he came back to his senses, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Tang Sanzang, you are full of distracting thoughts, this Buddha has eliminated your worries, and all the past events have disappeared."

"Buddha, what happened just now?" Tang Sanzang stared at the Glazed Light King Buddha with a confused expression, always feeling that this guy had done something bad to him.

"The more you know, the more troubles you will have. You don't have to ask. The matter here is over. Let's go west quickly." Liuliguang King Buddha breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly.

"I will obey the Buddha's decree." Tang Sanzang, who had his memory wiped, no longer had any hatred towards Buddhism and subconsciously followed the instructions.

The Glazed Light King Buddha waved his sleeve away, sending Tang Sanzang away, and then disappeared.

There was a flash of light and shadow, and Tang Sanzi suddenly appeared below.

Sun Wukong quickly stepped forward and asked, "Master, what did the Buddha say to you?"

"They just said some incomprehensible words that even my teacher couldn't understand." Tang Sanzang looked at the setting sun and said, "It's getting late, and we can't slack off in our great mission of learning scriptures. Let's get on the road as soon as possible tomorrow."

"Aren't you going to return to secular life?" Sha Monk asked in surprise.

Tang Sanzang looked puzzled, "Return to the secular world? What return to the secular world?"

Monkey King and Sand Monk look at each other, are they kidding?
  When the monk was about to return to secular life, no one lived there, and he asked the king to hold a grand ceremony. Unexpectedly, the idea was abandoned so quickly.

"Don't think about it, the memory has been erased." Qin Ran said calmly.

Sun Wukong and Sha Monk looked at each other and suddenly asked in a hurried voice: "Master, do you still remember the Empress of the Silver Saint Palace?"

"Is there any girl with such a name?"

"What posture is recorded on page 18 of the Buddhist scriptures you often read?"

"There are pictures in the Buddhist scriptures? I have never seen them before, my teacher."

"What color are your pants?"

"You are despicable!" Tang Sanzang had a pure face, but his head was full of question marks.

Are these two disciples showing off their brains? They asked him some incomprehensible questions.

……

Sun Wukong and Sha Monk gasped at the same time. As expected of the Buddha, his methods were indeed dark. In just a short time, his memory was wiped clean. He looked like a fool. He even forgot how to wear underpants. .

Snapped!
  Qin Ran walked forward and saw that Tang Sanzang was a big-eared melon.
  Tang Sanzang was so dizzy by the call that he was about to call out when he suddenly froze.

A huge amount of memories, like a river flowing over its banks, crazily poured into my mind.

Liusha River, Lishan Mountain, Baoxiang Kingdom...images of various figures came one after another, including Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva,
  He was like a little white rabbit being chased wildly by two big bad wolves.

Tang Sanzang's face changed wildly, his body trembled with nausea, and after a long time, a loud roar suddenly erupted in the air.

"Manjusri, Samantabhadra, I'm your uncle!"

West Heaven, Daleiyin Temple.

Tathagata had a sullen face and was in a very depressed mood.
