Journey to the West: Godly Choice

"Haha!"

Sun Sheng saw Tathagata's appearance, smiled softly, and said:"Tathagata, do you understand now?"

"Yes, thank you for the guidance of Ancient Buddha Sun Sheng."

Tathagata nodded. He had been trapped in a circle before and did not fully understand the things behind the spread of Buddhism to the East.

Apart from other things, after the completion of such a major event as the spread of Buddhism to the East, great merits will be bestowed, as well as invisible luck bonuses. If it can be successful casually, this is naturally impossible.

Sun Sheng is strong, but this can only increase the success of the spread of Buddhism to the East, not 100% success. After all, Sun Sheng is not a promoter of Buddhism, and he does not belong to Buddhism.

The focus of the matter is Tang Sanzang, who is the pioneer of the spread of Buddhism to the East and the most important link. By the same token, only after going through untold hardships and introducing Buddhism to the East can one be qualified to obtain the bonus of merits and luck. Otherwise, how can the Heavenly Dao easily reward such an important thing as merits?

"Master, if a monster eats Tang Sanzang, can he really become a Daluo Jinxian directly? And will he be blessed by the destiny of heaven and earth?"The Guanyin of the South Sea looked at Tathagata and asked

"This should be true."

Tathagata smiled bitterly and said

"Ah? How could this happen?"

The Guanyin of the South China Sea was a little stunned. She originally thought that this was just fake news spread by some people with ulterior motives, but she didn't expect that this news was true.

Tathagata shook his head and said,"Guanyin, do you still remember the Jiejiao founded by the saint Tongtian?"

"Master Tongtian? Jiejiao?"

When Guanyin of the South China Sea heard what Tathagata said, she showed a trace of doubt on her face. She didn't understand why Tathagata suddenly mentioned Master Tongtian and Jiejiao at this time.

Seeing the doubt on Guanyin of the South China Sea's face, Sun Sheng smiled and said,"Jiezhai Tianji"

""Intercept the secrets of heaven!"

Upon hearing this, Guanyin of the South Sea was stunned. Then, she looked at Tathagata with a questioning look on her face.

""What Sun Shenggu Buddha said is right. It means intercepting the secrets of heaven. As long as Tang Sanzang is eaten, it is equivalent to intercepting the secrets of the spread of Buddhism to the east. Those who intercept the secrets of heaven will receive a part of the reward of heaven." Tathagata nodded to Nanhai Guanyin and said

"this..."

Guanyin of the South China Sea was stunned. She finally understood the most terrifying part of this news.

There is no doubt that once this news spreads, even with Sun Sheng's protection, Tang Sanzang will face great danger if he wants to successfully spread Buddhism to the East.

Guanyin of the South China Sea was moved, and a very terrible idea popped up in her mind. She said to Tathagata:"Master, will the gods in the Three Realms take action?"

It is no wonder that Guanyin of the South China Sea would be worried. The report obtained by intercepting the secrets of heaven was too huge. If it were not for the fact that the spread of Buddhism to the East involved too much, Guanyin of the South China Sea would have detained Tang Sanzang in Lingshan and directly locked this opportunity in Buddhism.

"It is not a question of whether they will take action, but that they will definitely take action. Perhaps the monsters in the mortal world are still a little skeptical and half-believing and half-doubting the news, but the gods in the three realms will not hesitate at all. No matter what, they will definitely take action in the end and try to capture the secrets of heaven."The Tathagata said.

After hearing what the Tathagata said, Guanyin of the South China Sea thought about it and said,"Master, if this is the case, should we in Buddhism send some people to protect Tang Sanzang to ensure his personal safety?"

"No, it won't work either."

Tathagata shook his head and said

"Why?"

Nanhai Guanyin asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"This is how the way of heaven works, and it is not so easy to intercept the secrets of heaven."Tathagata said.

Guanyin of the South China Sea nodded and looked at Sun Sheng on the side. Now, it all depends on Sun Sheng's methods. Tathagata shook his head and stopped talking about this topic. He raised his head and said to Sun Sheng:"Ancient Buddha Sun Sheng, you are here just in time. I was just going to look for you."

"Oh? What do you want from me?"

Sun Sheng asked with a puzzled look on his face.

""Ancient Buddha Sun Sheng, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has held a water and land ceremony. I want you to take Tripitaka to meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to discuss the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. After the water and land ceremony, you will set off." Tathagata said.

Sun Sheng heard what Tathagata said, nodded, and said,"Okay, that's no problem"

"Sun Sheng..."

When Nanhai Guanyin heard that the journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures was about to begin, she looked at Sun Sheng with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Sun Sheng shook his head and smiled, and said to Nanhai Guanyin:"Guanyin, although I am here to protect Tang Sanzang on his journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures, if you have nothing to do, you can also come and practice the Joyful Zen with me.》"

""Shua!"

Nanhai Guanyin blushed when she heard Sun Sheng's words and nodded gently.

Tang Sanzang, who was watching this scene, was extremely shocked. He finally understood why Sun Sheng became his protector. It turned out that there was such a relationship between them.

"Sanzang, let's go. I'll take you to see the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

After Sun Sheng comforted the Guanyin of the South Sea, he said to the stunned Tang Sanzang.

"oh..."Okay, thank you, Sun Dasheng."

Tang Sanzang said to Sun Sheng respectfully. He knew that his biggest trump card on this journey to obtain scriptures was Sun Sheng.

Sun Sheng nodded to Tathagata and left with Tang Sanzang.......

Water and Land Dharma Assembly!

Sun Sheng took Tang Sanzang to the Water and Land Dharma Assembly

"Well, Mi, Ho....."

Along the way, there were chanting sounds everywhere, accompanied by the sound of bells.

Monks sat on cushions, chanting and beating wooden fish, with great solemnity and piety.

After all, the Water and Land Dharma Assembly is the highest event in Buddhism. Even though Buddhism has been suppressed and almost disappeared, it is still very grand to hold such an event at this time.

Sun Sheng pinched his fingers, found where Li Shimin was, and walked over with Tang Sanzang.

"Immortal!"

When Li Shimin saw Sun Sheng, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pushed aside the group of ministers beside him and quickly stood up to greet him.

"Hmm? Who is this person?"

"Who is this young man? Your Majesty seems to think highly of him."

"There is a monk following this man. Could he also be a Buddhist?"

"......"

When a group of ministers including Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, etc. saw Li Shimin's appearance, they were all curious about Sun Sheng's identity.

"Haha!"

Sun Sheng saw Li Shimin's appearance, smiled faintly, and said:"Li Shimin, let me introduce someone to you. This is Tang Sanzang, who is going to the West to seek the true scriptures."

""Gah!"

Zhangsun Wuji and others were all stunned when they heard Sun Sheng address Li Shimin. They all looked incredulous.
