Journey to the West: Godly Choice

When Nanhai Guanyin heard what Tathagata said, she nodded in agreement and said,"Yes, Sun Sheng does have a deep connection with our Buddhist sect.

Sometimes he seems out of tune, but he actually hides deep Zen principles.

" Nanhai Guanyin has a deep understanding of this.

She and Sun Sheng practiced Joy Zen together and almost never encountered any bottlenecks, because Sun Sheng could directly understand the essence, which made her feel very incredible.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed that this was Sun Sheng's first contact with Buddhism.

Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect and reincarnation. Both Tathagata and Nanhai Guanyin believe that Sun Sheng must have had a deep connection with Buddhism before, otherwise, he would not have such a profound understanding of Buddhism.

"However, there is one thing that puzzles me. Since Sun Sheng has such a deep connection with Buddhism, why doesn't he join our Buddhism? This has always puzzled me." Tathagata said with a bitter smile on his face

"this..."

Nanhai Guanyin was hesitant, she didn't know how to answer this question.

Generally speaking, people who have a connection with Buddhism will usually enter Buddhism again after reincarnation, because they are naturally close to Buddhism and this is their destiny.

Sun Sheng's actions undoubtedly have a deep connection with Buddhism, but he has no intention of entering Buddhism at all, which is indeed very confusing.

Nanhai Guanyin frowned and thought about it, then said,"Perhaps, Sun Sheng just doesn't want to be constrained."

Indeed, once Sun Sheng enters Buddhism, he will be subject to certain constraints no matter what.

"Maybe."

Tathagata shook his head and stopped thinking about this question. At least now Sun Sheng's relationship with Buddhism is still good.

""Shua, shua, shua!"

Tathagata used several spells to put away the Buddha Mirror. Like the Heavenly Palace, the Buddha Mirror is also a treasure. Although this kind of item is powerful, it has a common drawback. It consumes too much resources........

The mortal world!

Qingyun Village.

This is a mountain village built in the mountains and forests, and it is the lair of a group of bandits.

"Brother, Heizi and the other two didn't come back last night. Did something happen?"

A bandit brother walked up to the bandit leader and said with a gloomy face.

"Hmm?"

The bandit leader was stunned when he heard this, and his face darkened. He said,"Within a radius of 100 miles, is there anyone who dares to touch our people in Qingyun Village? Where did Heizi and the others go yesterday?"

"I went to the Datunpo area."

The bandit's younger brother said

"Go, gather the brothers, let's go over there and see what's going on."

The bandit leader waved his hand and said coldly

"Brother, it's still daytime, how about we go there at night?"

The bandit's younger brother said hesitantly.

"Just go if I tell you to go. Why are you talking so much nonsense? What happened during the day? This place is so remote. The government won't come here for no reason. Go quickly."

The bandit leader slapped the younger brother and said angrily

""Yes, big brother."

The bandit's younger brother saw his boss was angry, and hurried over to gather people.

A moment later!

The bandit leader led a dozen bandits, riding horses and rushing towards the big earth slope......

Early in the morning!

Sun Sheng and Tang Sanzang woke up and took a walk in the yard.

Sun Sheng knew that the bandits would continue to come, so he was not in a hurry to leave.

""Master, holy monk, come and have dinner."

A Bao came over and called Sun Sheng and Tang Sanzang to come over for dinner. It seemed that what happened last night did not leave any impact on him.

"Haha, OK."

Sun Sheng smiled and nodded, and said to Tang Sanzang:"Sanzang, let's go and have breakfast."

""Okay."

Tang Sanzang nodded and agreed, but his brows were still furrowed. What Sun Sheng said last night was still lingering in Tang Sanzang's mind. He always felt that Sun Sheng's words were not just casual, but contained certain Zen principles.

"Bandits? Karma?"

Suddenly, Tang Sanzang's eyes lit up, and an idea popped up in his mind.

""Dengdengdeng!"

Tang Sanzang trotted to the old man and asked anxiously,"Old man, do you know the origins of the three bandits last night? Or is there a bandit's lair nearby?"

Sun Sheng looked at him in surprise when he heard Tang Sanzang's words, knowing that Tang Sanzang had already thought of the key.

"Hmm? Saint monk, why are you asking this?"

The old man was stunned when he heard Tang Sanzang's words, and then asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Old man, I doubt it...."

Tang Sanzang subconsciously wanted to speak out his thoughts

"cough cough..."

Sun Sheng coughed twice seemingly carelessly.

Tang Sanzang reacted instantly, swallowed back the words that were about to be said, and just looked at the old man with a questioning look.

The old man looked at Tang Sanzang's eyes, thought for a while and said:"Saint monk, there is a Qingyun Village thirty miles away from here, where a group of bandits live. The three bandits last night should be the bandits from Qingyun Village."

"So that's how it is."

Tang Sanzang suddenly understood and looked at Sun Sheng with a questioning look in his eyes.

Sun Sheng knew what Tang Sanzang wanted to ask, smiled and nodded at him, and said,"Sanzang, let's eat first."

""Yes, Great Sage."

Tang Sanzang nodded, and the doubts in his heart were resolved. He was very happy. With Sun Sheng here, he was not worried that the bandits would harm the old man's family of three.

A moment later!

The group had breakfast.

""Rumble, rumble, rumble!"

The sound of horses trampling the ground came from not far away.

A dozen horses rushed towards the courtyard where the old man lived. On the horses sat bandits holding sharp blades.

"grandfather...The robbers are coming again..."

Seeing a group of bandits, Po immediately shouted and hid behind the old man.

"A Bao is not afraid!"

The old man and the old woman protected A Bao behind them, looking at the group of bandits with horror.

"The robbers are here again!"

When the bandit leader heard what A Bao said, his eyes lit up and he instantly understood that Hei Zi and his three companions had definitely come to this small courtyard last night.

""Lululu!"

The horses stopped, and the bandit leader led a group of bandits towards the courtyard.

"Brother, I heard recently that someone is buying children at a high price in the market."

A bandit said to the bandit leader.

The bandit leader looked at Abao, waved his hand, and said:"What are you waiting for, Shanzi, Agou, you two go and kidnap the child and sell him at the market, and buy some wine and meat to entertain your brothers."

""Yes, big brother."

The bandits named Shanzi and Agou agreed and walked towards Abao with a grim smile on their faces.

This was a lucrative job. The two of them would sell Abao and use the money to buy something they liked at the market. This was an unwritten rule among bandits.

"Sanzang, what do you think should be done?"

Sun Sheng turned his head and looked at Tang Sanzang, and asked

"Kill!"
