Martial Arts: Immortality Begins from The Deer and the Cauldron

Chapter 1401

"It's just that most of them are sanctimonious and don't dare to express or face their desires. Therefore, throughout their lives, they can only sit quietly and meditate to suppress their original desires. They are never able to understand the true meaning of Buddhism and cannot achieve transcendence and perfection.

"But the poor monk is not burdened by desires and has clear thoughts, so he can go to Lingshan, see the Buddha, and achieve enlightenment."

Kou Yuanwai was stunned for a moment and looked at Tang Sanzang solemnly. He felt that what he said seemed to make sense.

Could it be that this guy is really an eminent monk, hiding his secrets?

And the monks I had worshiped in the past were just sanctimonious people?
  "Holy monk, I am an old man who worships Buddhism and does good deeds. He tries his best to help the poor. There are almost 10,000 monks in his household. All he wants is a long life, a harmonious family and eternal wealth."

"Do you think it's possible for me to get my wish?" Kou Yuanwai asked tentatively.

"I see that your hall is darkened. I am afraid that not only will you not live a long life, but something will happen to you."

Tang Sanzang stared at Kou Yuanwai. After a serious look, he shook his head and said.

My heart was a little hot. Fortunately, Mr. Xiao gave me some advice. The factory must make this smoother and drier than the pretense.

Officer Kou was stunned for a moment, and then a surge of anger surged in his heart. Damn it, I entertain you with wine and meat, and you dare to curse me. Do you really think I have no temper?
  "Those true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have seen it, and they will naturally fulfill your wish."

Tang Sanzang explained.

"Holy Monk, Holy Monk said I will live forever?"

Kou Yuanwai was all excited. He had done good deeds throughout his life and had worshiped 10,000 monks.

During this process, the true Buddha and Bodhisattva never appeared, so all he ever wanted was peace of mind. Unexpectedly, God was always watching.

When the Kou members were excited, Tang Sanzang poured cold water on him.

"After you suffer a disaster and die, your soul will go to the Paradise of Paradise. At that time, you will be free from all four elements and stay with the Ancient Buddha of the Green Lantern forever."

"But you are not allowed to touch anything in this world, otherwise your children and family will be abandoned by you."

"I can't eat, I can't drink, I can't have sex anymore, all four elements are empty, and the feeling is no different from death.

Tang Sanzang's face was filled with disdain. Why is this old man so excited?
  Staying with a bunch of sanctimonious bald donkeys all day long, without being able to eat meat, drink alcohol, or look at young ladies, is not much different from death.

Even if you live forever, what fun is there?
  "Holy monk, I have become a Buddha. I am going to the Land of Ultimate Bliss, where the light of the Buddha shines everywhere and all living beings are good. How can I suffer like this?"

Kou Yuanwai was immediately confused. He had devoted his life to Buddhism and knew a little about Buddhist scriptures.

We have described the Land of Ultimate Bliss above, saying that it is a colorless and formless realm illuminated by the Buddha's light. In that kind of world, everyone can achieve perfection in their hearts and achieve peace and perfection.
  happy.

"Those are all introduced in Buddhist scriptures, just to fool fools. Do you believe this?"

Tang Sanzang said disdainfully, this old man has lived for most of his life, but he didn't expect to be so naive. It seems that he must be taught a lesson.

"You think about it, the Buddhist scriptures say that people should be emptied of the four elements and give up even one serious desire."

"But if you really let go, then what fun is there in life? If you don't just look like a puppet"?

"Besides, even if you achieve immortality, it is not a Buddha. In the Land of Ultimate Bliss, there are strict levels. There are Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Vajra, and Enlightenment. When you go there, you should be the lowest level monk."

"I have to look at the faces of those true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas all day long. Just think about it and you know how difficult life will be.

The more Kou Yuanwai listened, the more he became heartbroken. If everything was really like what Tang Sanzang said, then he would not be able to live forever.

What's more, he has two children and a happy family. If he suddenly gives up, he is not willing to let go.

"Holy monk, as you said, this paradise is so miserable, so why do you still go to the West for pilgrimage?"

Kou Yuanwai said doubtfully.

"You think I think, everything is just forced."

Tang Sanzang said angrily.

Along the way, he has been trapped in such a miserable way while doing normal things. If he gives up learning, those bald donkeys will surely kill him one after another.

The corner of Kou Yuanwai's mouth twitched, and the monk finally told the truth. Seeing that this guy is a big fish and a man who is willing to accept beautiful women, he is not a serious monk at all.

Everything will be explained in this way.

"Then what exactly is the disaster that the holy monk just mentioned?"

"Everyone knows that wealth should not be revealed. If your family is extremely wealthy, acts in a high-profile manner, and does not have huge strength to guarantee it, it will naturally attract thieves to covet you."

"Based on the poor monk's calculations, robbers will come in the future to take advantage of your family's property."

"Your family will definitely be reluctant to give up and fight to the death. Not only will their wealth not be preserved, but their lives will also be in danger."

Tang Sanzang pretended to be a magic stick and spoke seriously.

Kou Yuanwai's eyes widened in shock.

"Holy Monk, you said my family will die?" "Is that even necessary?"

"They are not like you, who have deep connections with Buddhism and meritorious deeds, so they naturally want to go to the underworld and be reincarnated.
  “It doesn’t matter if you are reincarnated as a pig or a dog in your next life.

Tang Sanzang nodded.

Kou Yuanwai was completely confused. He had done countless good deeds in his life, but he didn't get any good rewards. He even caused death for his family. How can this be justified?
  "Please give me some advice from the holy monk, how can I avoid this disaster?"

With the lives of his family at stake, Kou Yuanwai could no longer remain calm.

"Amitabha, the poor monk has said enough. As for what to do, it's up to you."

Tang Sanzang said with an inscrutable expression, in fact, that was all Qin Ran told him, but it was enough.

If this bandit has some eyes, he won't mind helping the old man solve his difficulties. After all, they are just a group of bandits, and his tortoise boxing is not a vegetarian.
  Kou Yuanwai has lived for most of his life, and he is also a veteran. How could he not understand what Tang Sanzang meant? Master Lian said:
  "Come here, call a few top names from Yingxiang Tower to come over, and arrange a nice banquet for the holy monk."

The servants standing outside were confused. Even the girls from the brothel invited so many at once. Is this definitely a Zhai monk?
  Is this monk serious?
  After giving instructions, Kou Yuanwai directly ordered his servants to bring a box of jewelry and placed it directly in front of Tang Sanzang.

"Is the holy monk still satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, the old man really has Buddha nature."

Tang Sanzang grinned and nodded excitedly. This old man was still very wise.

In this case, there would be no problem. Aren't they just a group of bandits? He settled them all.

Besides, even if he can't do it, he still has two apprentices.

"Holy monk, look at these robbers
  "Old man, please don't worry. It's just a group of robbers, and the poor monks will take care of them all."

Tang Sanzang said with a compassionate expression, then looked at Sha Monk next to him and ordered:
  "Since Wu Jing is an old man with good intentions, just put it away."

Sha Monk was very discerning and collected all these gold and silver jewelry. This was not only a small treasury for Tang Sanzang, but also necessary funds for the two of them to experience the local customs. (deserving)
  Kou Yuanwai was not stingy about this, as this little money was just a drop of money to him, as it was believed to be enough to save his family's life.

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter next to him,
  "Haha, old man, you have been deceived and your business has suffered a loss!" Kou Yuanwai turned his head in confusion and saw Sun Wukong laughing there.

"Elder, what do you mean by this?"

"I said you were deceived by this monk. He is hostile and uses these words to coax you."

Sun Wukong said with a smile.

"Could it be that what the eminent monk said just now is false?
  Kou Yuanwai was shocked and doubtful.

"Of course the words are true, but this monk has no ability at all. It's useless for you to beg him."

Sun Wukong said with a smile.

"You only need Mr. Qin or one of us, and the matter will be settled long ago."

Damn it, the dead monkey dared to sell me, Tang Sanzang's expression suddenly changed.

"You slutty monkey, don't yell at Bibi.".

:1
  Kou Yuanwai looked confused, but he immediately realized that Tang Sanzang was fooling him into eating and drinking.

I was so angry that I secretly blamed myself for being stupid. Why should I compete with this stupid monk? He seemed to have no ability and was also lustful.

If he had gone to beg Qin Ran earlier, wouldn't this matter have been settled long ago?
  "Mr. Qin, I still have something I don't understand."

Kou Yuanwai walked up to Qin Ran and said doubtfully
  "Old man, please tell me." Qin Ran smiled.

"I believe deeply in the True Buddha and have lived as a monk for many years. If I suddenly encounter such a catastrophe, wouldn't the True Buddha protect me?"

Kou Yuanwai said in confusion that he still respected the True Buddha and Bodhisattva very much. He did not believe that at the critical moment, he was in danger of being killed, and the True Buddha and Bodhisattva could just sit back and watch.

This old man is still a little too naive.
  The corner of Tang Sanzang's mouth twitched, and he said something sincerely, but the other party didn't understand what he meant at all.
  Everything that happened to you was obviously premeditated.

If Buddhism doesn't participate, even if it burns high incense, it still hopes to save you. What are you thinking about?
  Qin Ran said speechlessly:
  "When you do good deeds, you will receive merit, but the people you practice as monks and monks are mortals, not immortals, Buddhas, or bodhisattvas."

"Gods and Buddhas are all indifferent. If there is no cause and effect, how can they care about you?"

Officer Kou looked confused, a little confused as to what Qin Ran meant by his words.

Although the people who live in his monk's room are all mortals, most of these monks are dedicated to the Buddha and are extremely pious.

Compared to Tang Sanzang, the flower monk, I don’t know how many times better.
  These people are serious Buddhist disciples. They are doing good deeds to help Buddhism. How can they not be related to those true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas?
  "You old man is so stubborn. Even after talking about this, you still don't understand."

Tang Sanzang said speechlessly.

He has been tricked so badly by Buddhism along the way. He is the one who has the most say on the virtues of Buddhism.
  "Please ask the holy monk for advice."

Kou Yuanwai looked at Tang Sanzang and humbly asked for advice.

This place is a place where Buddhism flourishes and is very close to the Great Thunder Sound Temple in the West. However, he has never seen the so-called true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The ones he encountered most were monks.

As a secular person, he naturally did not know as much as Tang Sanzang, an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty.

"To put it bluntly, it means that the so-called compassion of the Buddha is just a pretense. In fact, the heart is cold and heartless, and it is also very dark."

Tang Sanzang said faintly.

Kou Yuanwai's expression suddenly changed (adff)
  "Holy Monk, you must know that there are gods three feet above your head. As a Buddhist disciple, how can you take such rebellious words lightly?"

As a mortal, he is naturally in awe of ghosts and gods.
  "Don't worry, old man. With Mr. Qin here, the true Buddha cannot hear these words of the poor monk."

Tang Sanzang said confidently, and then slowly told some of the unbelievable things he experienced on the Xitian Road.

Especially those immoral things that Buddhism is involved in, adding fuel to the fire.

Officer Kou was dumbfounded and his face turned pale. Although Tang Sanzang was serious about what he said, he still didn't believe it in his heart.
  "How can the holy monk prove these things? After all, I have never seen it before."

"You have never seen these things. That day, Fengxian County, a foreign county in the Zhu Kingdom, suffered from a severe drought for three years! The people were in dire straits and most of the people died. You have heard of this, right?"

Tang Sanzang said with a faint look.

"Obviously I have heard of such a big event, but is this also the case?"

Kou Yuanwai was shocked and dismissed Xin Dou's suspicion.

Although Diling County and Fengxian County are extremely far apart, they are both counties in Tianzhu Kingdom after all.

There was a severe drought in Fengxian County that year. People in the county left their hometowns in search of a way to survive, and many of them came to Tongtai Mansion.

Of course he knew something about it.

"Yes, it was the handiwork of those true Buddhas. The governor of Fengxian County just accidentally knocked down some sacrifices, and those true Buddhas sent down heaven's punishment, making countless people die of thirst."

Tang Sanzang nodded and kept talking nonsense. Anyway, in his eyes, those gods and Buddhas are all equally black, and there is not much difference between them.

The severe drought in Fengxian County was caused by the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor and Tathagata wore the same trousers, so letting Tathagata take the blame for the Jade Emperor shouldn't be considered too unfair.

As an ambassador of information dissemination, he must contribute to the cause of discrediting Buddhism.
  Officer Kou was dumbfounded and shocked in his heart.

If he could just listen to the previous things as stories, then the reason behind Feng Xiankuo was truly a tragedy that would ruin his life.

And these things were actually caused by Buddha and Bodhisattva, which simply made his faith collapse.

"But then it rained again in Fengxian County!
  Kou Yuanwai stared.

"Even if it rains, it has nothing to do with those straight Buddhas. If Mr. Qin and the poor monk hadn't used their supreme magic power, would it have rained?"

Tang Sanzang said angrily, Hui Yanwu thought about Ri Tian's part of the experience and realized what Bai Ji really was.
  And he decided to continue this practice when writing his autobiography after returning to the Tang Dynasty.

Sun Wukong and Sha Monk looked with contempt on their faces and ruthlessly raised their middle fingers to Tang Sanzang.

Unintentionally paying attention to the small movements of Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice, Kou Yuanwai was completely stupid at this time.

The reason why he has done good deeds and devoted himself to the Buddha throughout his life is because he has great respect for the true Buddha and Bodhisattvas.

But once he learned the truth, it turned out to be like this, which shattered the king's outlook.

Kou Yuanwai frowned and wondered whether he had done such an unintentional act.

But it's a pity that I'm too old to remember

Although he didn't think of anything, Kou Yuanwai was completely panicked at this time.

Just because he can't remember it doesn't mean he hasn't done anything.
  After all, he has been a monk nearly tens of thousands of times in his life, and worshiped the Buddha no less than hundreds of thousands of times, so there is no guarantee that he will not do something outrageous at the last point.
