The Great Lord of the World

The old man was buried in the grave.

Sanzang has traveled in the human world for thousands of years, and he has witnessed countless rises and falls in these thousands of years.

He once had a glimmer of hope for the Buddhist philosophy, believing that Buddhism could save all living beings, but now, he has long been disappointed with the Buddhist philosophy.

He saw that in order to break through the quasi-saint realm, Guanyin Bodhisattva set up countless Guanyin temples in the human villages in the human world, and the human race offered countless incense.

However, in the areas where the human race had plague, he had never seen Guanyin Bodhisattva manifest his Dharma body to save all living beings.

He couldn't help but feel angry. A mere quasi-saint in the early stage dared to act wild in front of Sanzang, the great master of the late stage of Hunyuan Jinxian. Isn't this just looking for death!

Master Sanzang traveled to various regions of the human race, saw countless joys and sorrows, and saw the suffering and pain of the human race.

He once thought about helping them, but he also knew that when human power is limited, his own power cannot change the whole world.

So he began to think about how to truly get rid of suffering and save the human race.

After a long period of thinking and traveling, Master Sanzang finally had his own answer. He decided to create a new sect, a sect that can truly save the human race.

In the back mountain of Jinshan Temple, Master Sanzang was drinking light wine at the foot of the mountain with his best friend Li Bai, and tasting game on the back mountain of Jinshan Temple.

Li Bai looked at his friend and asked, "Brother Zang, have you thought about going to the sacred mountain in the Buddhist world to learn scriptures?"

Sanzang heard Li Bai's question, looked at Li Bai speechlessly, and said, "Brother Bai, if it weren't for this damn destiny, where can I go to the Buddhist world!"

Li Bai laughed and teased the great master Sanzang. After all, Sanzang, who traveled in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, gave countless human race strongmen the impression of being a serious Taoist master.

How could they see Sanzang's true nature? Sanzang didn't care about Li Bai's teasing at all. After all, his Taoist brother was one of his few close friends.

Li Bai knew Sanzang's helplessness, and he also knew Sanzang's fate. All this was destined and could not be avoided.

"Brother Zang, we have known each other for a long time, and I know what you think. But this is fate, this is the way of heaven. We can't escape, we can only face it." Li Bai said with emotion.

The great master Sanzang was silent for a while, then picked up the wine glass and drank it all. His eyes became firm, and he knew that he had to face it all.

"Brother Bai, you are right. This is fate, this is the way of heaven. I can't escape, I can only face it."

Li Bai looked at the Great Master Sanzang, his heart full of admiration and reluctance. He knew that this farewell might be a farewell forever.

"Brother Zang, take care of yourself along the way. If we meet again in the future, we will still be brothers." Li Bai said.

The Great Master Sanzang nodded, then got up and left. His back disappeared in the back mountain of Jinshan Temple, leaving Li Bai alone there drinking silently.

Li Bai knew that the Great Master Sanzang might never come back. However, he also knew that the Great Master Sanzang was for the future of the human race and for the people of the world.

He was full of admiration and moved, and he knew that this was the fate of a hero.

Five hundred years passed in a flash, and at this time, Sanzang had entered the Tang Dynasty Palace under the protection of the Tang Dynasty Emperor's personal guards.

The eyes of Emperor Li Shimin were full of surprise, because the great master Sanzang in front of him was madly tasting the delicacies in the palace.

Sanzang's eating style was extremely exaggerated. He grabbed a handful of cakes and stuffed them into his mouth desperately. He made unclear sounds while eating. The corners of his mouth were covered with food residues, and even his clothes were stained with oil stains.

His eyes widened, as if he wanted to take in all the delicacies. His face turned red due to excessive eating, and he looked very scary.

Perhaps he noticed the change in the expression of the Emperor, Sanzang stopped and said embarrassedly:

"Your Majesty, I am about to leave the human race in the Tang Dynasty. I am reluctant to leave the Tang Dynasty delicacies!"

After saying that, he put the cake he had just picked up into his mouth and ate it voraciously. For a moment, Emperor Li Shimin began to doubt the saints of the Buddhist world.

Li Shimin secretly sighed in his heart. This great master Sanzang was usually respected in the human world, but he didn't expect that he would be so out of control in front of delicious food.

However, he could also understand Sanzang's feelings. After all, after this separation, he didn't know when he would be able to see him again.

I tasted the food of the Tang Dynasty again.

Human Emperor Li Shimin smiled and said: "Master Sanzang, please enjoy it. This is the food I prepared specially for you. As long as you like it, I can send someone to deliver it to you at any time."

Master Sanzang stood up and saluted gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for entertaining me."

Looking at Sanzang, who was not at all arrogant, Human Emperor Li Shimin was very satisfied. He smiled and waved to the eunuchs around him, and his voice was full of joy:

"Go, bring all the cakes in the palace, let Master Sanzang taste them carefully."

After hearing this, Sanzang sighed in his heart and whispered:

"Ah, only vegetarian ones!"

Although this sentence was whispered, it was still heard by Li Shimin. He was a human emperor in the realm of half-step Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, and his hearing was naturally incomparable to ordinary people.

He immediately sent a message to the eunuch Deyuan who had just left: "Deyuan, order the imperial kitchen to prepare wine and meat. This emperor wants to have a long talk with Master Sanzang all night."

Hearing this, Deyuan, the first eunuch of the Tang Dynasty, almost fell down.

He secretly complained in his heart: Master Sanzang is a Buddhist disciple, and according to Buddhist precepts, he does not eat meat.

But he also understood that there are some things that you should not know, so don't ask. So he immediately took the order and went to prepare.

After a while, all kinds of exquisite cakes and fine wines and delicacies filled the table. Sanzang looked at the food in front of him, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.

But he still maintained the reserve of a monk and thanked Li Shimin.

Li Shimin saw Sanzang's expression and laughed in his heart. He knew that although Sanzang was a monk, he was still a young man after all, and his resistance to food was not strong. He deliberately said:

"Master Sanzang, what do you think of these cakes? Do they suit your taste? If you don't like them, I can ask the imperial chef to make some other ones."

Sanzang secretly complained in his heart: This emperor is really enthusiastic! But he was embarrassed to refuse, so he said:

"Your Majesty, these cakes are very delicious, I like them very much. But..."

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately understood what Sanzang meant, so he waved his hand to the eunuch beside him:

"Come on, serve the meat to Master Sanzang."

Hearing this, Sanzang showed a surprised expression on his face. He looked at Li Shimin gratefully, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: This emperor is really considerate!

After a while, plates of fragrant meat dishes were served. Sanzang looked at the food in front of him, and his saliva was almost flowing out. He looked at Li Shimin and said:

"Your Majesty, this..."

Li Shimin smiled and interrupted Sanzang: "Master Sanzang, you don't have to be so reserved. You can enjoy it freely here without worrying about these rules."

Sanzang was secretly moved when he heard this. He looked at Li Shimin with gratitude and respect in his eyes.

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, who were hiding in the void of the palace at this moment, were shocked by Sanzang at this moment.

They widened their eyes and looked at Sanzang below in disbelief. He actually called His Majesty the Human Emperor a brother, and threatened to step on the Lingshan Mountain of the Buddhist Realm, reorganize Buddhism and create a new Zang Daoism.

What a madman! What a monster!

Even Li Shimin was frightened by Sanzang's words. As the Human Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he ruled the nine states, but his strength was not as good as Sanzang.

Sanzang's strength was unfathomable. Although his words were arrogant, people had to believe them.

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were filled with deep worry. They knew that the appearance of Sanzang would bring great changes to the world.

They didn't know what Sanzang's purpose was, nor did they know what he wanted to do. But they knew that these changes were naturally what Buddhism needed to solve.

At this time, Sanzang didn't realize that he had become the focus of everyone. He was still drinking and still reveling.

His heart was full of ambitions, and he wanted to do too many things. He wanted to set foot on the Lingshan Mountain of the Buddhist world, reorganize Buddhism and create a new Zang Taoism.

On the second day, in Luoyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Li Shimin held a grand westward departure temple for Sanzang, and countless Tang officials participated in it.

As the sacrificial ceremony ended, Sanzang took the thousand-mile horse given to him by the Emperor and set off on the journey to the west. Along the way, he will cross the vast desert, trek through steep mountains, and face countless challenges and difficulties.

However, after leaving Luoyang City for a thousand miles, Sanzang bought the horse and exchanged it for a cart of wine, and used his own magic power to transform into a huge divine horse.

He lay on it and drank the wine slowly and leisurely, galloping towards the west, his heart full of curiosity and desire for the unknown.

After a month, Sanzang slowly

He came to the realm of the Five Elements Holy Peak slowly. At this time, the heavenly secrets of the prehistoric world were revealed, telling Sanzang the first disciple who protected him on his journey to the west.

At this moment, Wukong was living happily with Lingying, but after sensing the arrival of Sanzang, he and Lingying observed Sanzang together.

Wukong wanted to see what the people selected by the Buddhist world to travel to the west were capable of.

However, to Wukong's surprise, Master Sanzang actually had the realm of the late stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal and directly entered the seal of the Five Elements Holy Peak.

Wukong secretly sighed that he was indeed the person selected by the Buddhist world, and he really had some means. Sanzang looked at Wukong and Lingying, and asked awkwardly:

"May I ask, fellow Taoist, is this the realm of the Five Elements Holy Peak?"

Wukong looked at the drunken and confused Sanzang, and found it a little funny, so he said:

"I am Wukong. I wonder if Master Sanzang is going to the Western Paradise."

After hearing this, Sanzang said happily: "Don't worry, don't worry. Come on, fellow Taoist Wukong, let's have a drink first, and then discuss the journey to the west."

As he said this, Sanzang took out a wine pot and a wine glass from the storage ring and filled Wukong and Lingying with wine.

Wukong looked at Sanzang, who was so open, and instantly felt that the journey to the west in the future was interesting.

He thought to himself that this Master Sanzang was an interesting person, and it would not be boring to travel with him. Lingying, who was standing aside, blushed at what Sanzang said, and she lowered her head a little embarrassedly.

Wukong looked at Lingying, and his heart was full of love. He felt that meeting Lingying was the luckiest thing in his life. He raised his wine glass and said to Sanzang:

"Master Sanzang, this journey to the west is long and full of difficulties. I wonder if you have any plans?"

After hearing what Wukong said, Master Sanzang laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Wukong, you don't have to worry. It doesn't matter to me whether we reach the Western Paradise or not."

In the next hundred years, Sanzang and Wukong discussed the Dao directly in the Five Elements Mountain. Later, it was because of the will of the Heavenly Dao in their souls that urged them.

Wukong joined the team going west, but the Five Elements Holy Peak, which symbolized the majesty of Buddhism, was blown up by the violent Sanzang with his bare hands.

Then Sanzang carried Wukong in his wine cart and continued to go west, and Lingying was also sent back to the spirit world by Wukong.
