Chapter 965 Arriving at Lingshan

The four masters and apprentices walked through the Flame Mountain and entered the Little Leiyin Temple by mistake...

In the Zhuzi Kingdom, he defeated the lost lion king of Guanyin, cured the king's illness, and rescued the robbed empress of the palace;

In Pansi Cave, Wukong killed the seven witches that the spider spirit turned into;

In Shituoling, he bumped into three powerful demon kings;

When he came to the Bhikkhu Kingdom, Wukong defeated the demon Dao transformed by the white deer of the birthday star, and entered the mountain of sinking sky;

After that, after destroying France, Wukong turned all the people in the country into monks to make the king repent and rehabilitate, and changed the name of the country to Chin France;

One day when they walked to Yuhua County, the weapons of Wukong, Bajie, and Sand Monk were stolen by monsters from Hukou Cave on Leopard Head Mountain. Taiyi rescued Ku Tianzun and came here, saying that the monsters were transformed by his lost nine lions. Wukong and the three retrieved their weapons and bid farewell to Tianzun;

The four masters and apprentices went to Jinping Mansion to watch the lanterns, but bumped into three rhinoceros spirits pretending to be Buddha. Wukong got rid of them with the help of Simu Qinxing, and came to Tianzhu in a few days;

Here, Wukong saw through the false princess that the jade rabbit in the Moon Palace had turned into, and rescued the real princess. The king thanked him so much and gave it to Tang Seng as a present;

Everyone hurried to Yuzhen Temple at the foot of Tathagata Lingshan.

The four masters and apprentices bathed and changed their clothes, ready to enter the Buddha's place...

For nearly fifteen years, the four masters and apprentices finally came to Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan after going through many hardships.

——

In Yuzhen Temple, Monkey King was very disturbed.

"Is it finally here?" Sun Wukong murmured.

Thinking of being suppressed, he followed the advice of Avalokitesvara, and followed Master Xuanzang all the way westward.

Along the way, Monkey King regretted it before he lost it.

The earliest regrets were also covered up by the discovery and growth along the way.

Now Monkey King, the only thing he wants to know is the world he is in, whether it is true or not.

"Senior Zhen Yuanzi said that what is false is also true, and true is also false. Although we rely on our own strength and wisdom to judge, the moment when it is revealed is always disturbing."

Along the way, Monkey King even recalled his own life.

Sun Wukong found helplessly that he was always being dominated. From a carefree stone monkey, he suddenly realized that he might die.

Later, he searched for a teacher to seek the way, until he was driven out of the mountain gate by the master.

"I have to say that the happiest moment for my old grandson is to be the king of my Huaguo Mountain, without restraint. In addition, it is also good to learn art from the teacher. This must be true. If it is also false, then I Old Sun might break down."

The more I face the truth, the more uneasy I become.

Ever since he realized that truth is more terrifying than falsehood, Monkey King has been obsessed with the carefree era, but he can't go back.

Now, it was time to unravel the fog. He sincerely hoped that everything about him would not be too fake, and that he would give himself a reason to compromise and give himself a sense of stability.

Thinking of this, Monkey King shook his head.

The mystery of senior Zhen Yuanzi,

In the true and false Monkey King, the six-eared macaque told himself to wait for himself,

Later, the strong man who saw Huoyun Cave,

These kinds of things linger in Sun Wukong's mind and cannot be dissipated for a long time.

"Hey, I just didn't know how to get along with the idiot and Junior Brother Sha. The two must know very well, but they have no choice but to deceive themselves. It's really difficult. The two are actually good."

Sun Wukong sighed.

He has long seen that the two of them are performing their mission, and they may not know about all the deceptions, but they must have known about fooling themselves and the master along the way westward.

For more than ten years, Sun Wukong, who lacks friends, or has no friends. Before that, his friends were all false Monkey Kings, and he is very eager to have a few friends.

In the selection of friends, Sun Wukong has changed from strict requirements to continuously lower requirements.

Just like Bajie and Drifting Monk, Sun Wukong felt that it didn't matter if he lied to himself, as long as he didn't want to hurt himself.

However, he was afraid of the cruelty after everything was revealed.

In that case, I will not even have a friend, which is really depressing.

"Well, by the way, it can't be said that I don't have friends. Three eyes count as one, but I don't know if he should consider my grandson a friend?"

Sun Wukong thought for a while, in his opinion, Yang Jian is a good friend, but he doesn't know if Yang Jian recognizes him or not.

"Forget it, don't think about it."

Lying on a stone slab, Sun Wukong looked at the sky full of stars, only at this time, he felt that he was himself.

"Wukong, why don't you rest?"

Suddenly, there was a voice, and Tang Seng, who was also unable to sleep, came out.

"Master, why didn't you sleep? You don't want to catch a cold." Monkey King quickly got up, and ran to the room to get a piece of clothes for Tang Seng to put on.

Tang Seng was very relieved. Of the three disciples, Wukong was the most worry-free, but Wukong was also the most worry-free.

Wukong has changed the most along the way, and Wukong has not changed.

What has changed is Wukong's way of doing things and character, but what has not changed is Wukong's rebelliousness and persistence.

"Wukong still remembers that when you and I met for the first time, my teacher thought that your coming was a test given to me by the Buddha, and my teacher tried to change you."

Tang Seng thought of the past.

When he first rescued Monkey King, he was still an eminent monk, thinking that this was the Buddha's ordeal for him.

But after experiencing a lot, Tang Seng felt that he had changed.

Along the way, there have been heart demons, demon obstacles, and the customs of the daughter country. Since then, Tang Seng has not changed Monkey King.

Because he found that Monkey King has not changed, but he has changed.

If you have changed yourself, you have no face to change others.

In other words, things are right and people are wrong.

"Does the master feel that the apprentice has changed?" Sun Wukong asked with a smile.

"You?" Tang Seng looked at Sun Wukong carefully, shook his head with a smile, and said, "You haven't changed. As a teacher, I can still feel your heart is more determined."

"Hey, master really understands me, but the apprentice feels that you have changed, master." Monkey King said.

"Yeah!" Tang Seng sighed and stood up, "The teacher has indeed changed, Wukong, do you know what the teacher wants to do tomorrow?"

"Master, what do you want to do?" Sun Wukong asked.

"As a teacher, I don't want merit or magic power. I just want to get back the scriptures and fulfill my promise to the Tang Emperor. After that, I will be a person who teaches the scriptures and footwork, and I will end my life like this. Because at this moment, I am a Buddha. Can’t, can’t let go and be empty.”

Tang Seng sighed, and said again: "You know, Wukong, he has fetters in his mind as a teacher. Apart from the obsession to obtain the scriptures, he has other obsessions as a teacher. This obsession is like a demon in his heart. The mind of the teacher... You see, how can I let go of everything to become a Buddha like this, there are some things I can't let go of as a teacher, and there are things I can't let go of, and I have changed as a teacher."

"Master, are you the lord of the Daughter Kingdom?" Sun Wukong asked.

"Amitabha!" Tang Seng didn't answer, but it was very clear.

"A teacher is a leftover child. He was adopted by an eminent monk. In this life, he was doomed to the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng. I also thought that only the epiphany is empty is the teacher's greatest obsession. , but fleeting;

But after more than ten years of reading scriptures and worshiping the Buddha for half a lifetime, I realized that I can't make everything empty. The Buddha said that there is reincarnation in the afterlife, and my Buddha also has the past, present and future three Buddhas;

...Wukong, maybe the teacher was a Buddha in the past and will be a Buddha in the future, but now he is a mortal. "

finished!

Tang Sheng uttered the Buddha's name again, and went back to rest.

This is the last time Tang Seng had a long talk with Monkey King, revealing another side of his firm Buddha heart.

The touch of Monkey King is a bit big.

"Master was a Buddha in the past, a Buddha in the future, and a mortal now, what about me?" Sun Wukong asked.

After a long time... "I used to be a monkey, now I am a walker, and in the future I will be Wukong."

...

Like Monkey King Tang Seng, it is not only the two who are uneasy.

There are also Drifting Monk and Zhu Bajie.

Along the way, Bajie never forgot his marriage contract, and tried many methods to see if he could break the promise of heaven.

No matter how I tried my best, it was doomed, and I had to go back after learning the scriptures.

"Tomorrow, I will be able to complete the task. I will complete this task of learning scriptures from the heyday of Buddhism. At that time, my old pig will gain merits and virtues, and my cultivation base and realm will increase. I wonder if merits can dissolve my old pig's marriage contract?"

Like Zhu Bajie, lying alone on the bed thinking.

"However, why break the engagement? Become a disciple of Buddhism?"

Think about it? Said: "No, no, Buddhism seems to be strong, but the apex of strength is decline, Buddhism is about to decline, old pig is not stupid, so he won't join Buddhism."

"But if you don't join Buddhism, why don't you go back and become Marshal Peng?"

After thinking about it again, he said, "It's not good either. Marshal Tianpeng seems to be a high-ranking noble, but he is always a puppet. This time I finally got a chance to be free. I can't go back."

If Buddhism doesn't join, and heaven doesn't return, Zhu Bajie is confused about what he should do.

"It is rumored that there are four worlds in the Great Desolation, and the spiritual world is opened up by great powers, but the real Honghuang is the three realms of immortals, mortals, and the underworld. Why don't you take this opportunity to go to the fairy world;

That's where the masters go, and that's where the great people come out in large numbers. After the merits and virtues are consummated this time, how can I have a cultivation base of the Da Luo level? Such a cultivation base has gone to the fairy world. A place where you can live comfortably. "

"Take Cuilan with me when the time comes...well, it's not bad."

Zhu Bajie thought for a while, he had a marriage contract, and he thought that apart from the merits he deserved, Buddhism would not give him a high position as a pig who was about to get married.

And returning to the heaven will lose freedom. In this case, leaving the spirit world to start a new life is what is most needed.

Zhu Bajie felt that it was settled.

Fomen gave himself a supernumerary establishment, and then he left with Miss Gao.

This is the best at present, not to mention that I belong to the sect of Jiejiao, and at worst, after going to the fairy world, I will go to the patriarch Tongtian sage.

And Drifting!

This guy who was regarded as crazy by Monkey King and Zhu Bajie.

He was solemnly divination, and the silver turtle shone with silver light.

"puff--"

I saw Drifting's mouthful of blood spilling out, almost injuring Yuanshen, this is the price of forced divination.

But Drifting didn't care about his injuries.

He wiped his mouth swiftly, regardless of the injury, but closed his eyes to look at his divination guidance.

After a while...

"Golden Arhat!"

"Could it be that this is my compensation after my consummation of merit this time? But, is it just an arhat?"

Drifting was taken aback.

"The lowest cultivation level of Arhat is the level of Taiyi, and the highest is the level of Subduing Dragon and Fuhu Arhat, which is the level of Da Luo Tianhua Blossom. In this way, my merits and virtues this time can be completed at the lowest level of Taiyi?"

Rolling shutter general is the cultivation base of Xuanxian in the later stage.

In the Heavenly Court, the blessing of the Conferred God Stele can display the cultivation base of the Golden Immortal.

Drifting is actually a little excited to go directly from Jinxian to Taiyi Consummation this time.

Moreover, the Golden Immortal Consummation is the lowest level he recognizes, maybe it is a golden arhat at the Daluo level.

This is already an incomparably huge gain.

After fourteen years of studying scriptures, the merits in exchange have ranged from Xuanxian to Daluo.

Such a good thing is indeed the key to the prosperity of Buddhism.

In addition, don't forget that he is on the stele of conferring gods.

On the Fengshen Monument, it is stated that your level is that level, unless the world changes and progresses.

It is impossible to rely on individuals to make progress.

Sand Monk was very excited when he crossed two great realms this time.

However, he was as embarrassed as Zhu Bajie.

"However, Buddhism is doomed to decline, and I cannot join Buddhism."

"Not to mention, I'm still a disciple of explaining religion?"

"Why, don't you join Buddhism? I don't know if the merit will be cancelled..."

Drifting monk's cultivation level is too low, if he hadn't been lucky enough to become a person to learn from the scriptures this time, he would belong to that kind of mortal beings.

The kind that no one cares about.

Just because of his low cultivation base and little knowledge, he didn't know that the merits and virtues are not given by Buddhism, but the merits and virtues of heaven and earth.

What's more, the Buddhist sect can't take back the merits. The reason why the Buddhist sect canonize them is to compensate them, and to gather luck from the beginning to the end.

In any case, the people who learn from the scriptures are all lucky, and Buddhism will naturally not let it go.

Not to mention anything else, Drifting and Zhu Bajie both thought about one thing wrong, that is, they thought that after learning the scriptures, they would return to the state that no one cared about and no one valued.

They were wrong.

Even after learning the scriptures, they will also increase their luck and improve their cultivation due to their merits.

Belonging to the people that all major forces want to recruit.

Because this kind of luck represents many, many.

Those masters who have survived countless karmic ordeals, these masters without karma, they are indeed free and unrestrained.

But it also shows that future luck and opportunities are far away from them, unless they fight for it.

And to fight for it means that you will be robbed by yourself, that life and death are not in your hands, and you are not protected by luck.

As for Drifting Monk Bajie, Wukong, Tang Seng, etc., they belong to those who have increased luck and have not completely got rid of karma and are still on the way.

Such a person can be said to be the child of luck, such a person is destined to have great tribulations, and is also destined to have great opportunities.

Because of Buddhism, they condense luck and merit.

This shows that the prosperity and decline of Buddhism in the future, as well as the chance and cause and effect caused by Buddhism, will always involve them.

Such a person is the best pawn, and every big power wants to get one.

Because of getting them, it means that there is a chance to join Buddhism.

He also said that in the future, whenever there are opportunities and tribulations involving Buddhism, they will take the favorable side.

Of course, if you want to benefit from the hardships and opportunities of Buddhism, you need strength and wisdom.

It is just a coincidence that those who dare to plot against Buddhism are all saints and powerful forces with profound wisdom and strength.

They are all people who understand that only by giving can they gain, and they are naturally not afraid of hardships.

What they are afraid of is, how can they make progress after they have no cause and effect and no suffering?

These people are afraid that they will not make progress, but they are not afraid of suffering.

These guys are all at the level of saints, fearless of everything.

so……

Zhu Bajie and Drifting Monk are actually very popular, Buddhism will greatly recruit them, and other forces will do the same.

The two of them didn't know, one of them planned to go back to Gao Laozhuang to take Miss Gao to the fairy world, and the other was worried about gains and losses because of fortune telling that he had made great progress.

Just like Monkey King and Tang Seng, they don't think about this.

One has already decided to die of old age in this life, and to go on an appointment with a beautiful woman in the next life and promise the next life.

One waits to unravel the fog, to see how true and how false everything about oneself is.

In short, the four people and one horse who had no sleep all night were worried about the coming of the day.

But at last, the day came...
