Chapter 365 Monsters Are Such a Great Resource!

"Where is Tang Xuanzang?"

In the Great Leiyin Temple, the Buddha's Sanskrit sound echoed around, and Guanyin Bodhisattva closed her eyes and counted with her fingers.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes suddenly, as if she was startled, and said: "Still in the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

"Huh? Why is it still in the Tang Dynasty?"

If according to their plan, Tang Sanzang should have arrived at Liangjie Mountain by now, and Guanyin Bodhisattva is ready to go there to send the tight hoop curse.

"This... has not been calculated, and I will go to investigate."

"Okay, the journey to the West is a major event for my Buddhist sect, and there must be no mistakes."

"Yes!"

...

Guanyin Bodhisattva immediately set off and came to the Tang Dynasty. She found Tang Sanzang in the wing room of the palace. After a little thought, she turned into a palace maid and went in with tea to inquire about the news.

In the original work, Guanyin Bodhisattva also sent the Four Valued Officials, the Five Directions Jie Di, the Six Dings and Six Jias, the Eighteen Guardians of the Religion, and other immortals and gods from both Buddhism and Taoism to secretly protect Tang Sanzang.

However, they were not in the TV series, and even the time when they were supposed to appear was changed.

So, even if Guanyin Bodhisattva wanted to know what happened, she had to use the art of transformation to ask in person.

"Hey, holy monk? Didn't you go to the West to obtain the scriptures? Why are you back?"

Seeing that it was a palace maid, Tang Sanzang did not neglect it at all, and still said politely: "I came back to see Your Majesty because of something important."

"But did you encounter a demon on the way?" Guanyin said, pouring tea for Tang Sanzang.

"No."

"That's strange, what else is more important than going to the West to obtain the scriptures and saving the world?"

"This..."

Just when Tang Sanzang didn't know how to answer, the Emperor of Tang came in, saw the palace maid and didn't care, waved her hand casually to let her go, and then asked nervously:

"My brother, why did you come back suddenly? I heard that you had something urgent, so I specially left the morning court to come here."

Guanyin Bodhisattva also wanted to know this question, so she hid and eavesdropped.

"Your Majesty!" Tang Sanzang stood up excitedly, took out a book from the package in his arms and handed it over.

The Emperor of Tang was a little surprised and asked: "Could it be that my brother has taken back the scriptures?"

"No, but this book can also save tens of millions of people in my Tang Dynasty!"

"Oh! Let me see it!"

The Emperor of Tang immediately took it and flipped through a few pages. His expression gradually changed from calm to excited, and even his hands began to tremble.

"My brother! Is this book... true?" The Emperor of Tang asked expectantly.

He couldn't believe it. If what he said was true, how prosperous the Tang Dynasty would become.

"Absolutely true!"

"Okay! I believe you!"

The Emperor of Tang took a deep breath, tried to calm his inner excitement, and said: "You rest here first, I will call the ministers back to study this book."

"Yes!"

The matter was urgent, and the Emperor of Tang didn't care to say anything more. He quickly left the room, and Tang Sanzang lay down in the house to rest.

Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned slightly. She also saw the contents of the book, but she didn't know where Tang Sanzang got the book from.

It was a sudden disaster. I don't know if it will interfere with his determination to obtain the scriptures. Let me test it.

With a finger, Tang Sanzang saw Guanyin Bodhisattva in his dream.

After a conversation, Guanyin Bodhisattva was relieved, knowing that he just came back to deliver the book and would set off again after a night's rest.

"Bodhisattva, I have a question, I wonder if you can answer it?"

"What question?"

"I want to know, is food more effective in saving people, or is the Buddhist scriptures more effective in saving people?"

Avalokitesvara smiled and said softly: "Xuanzang, the way to save people cannot be compared in quantity, and there is absolutely no contradiction."

"Peace in the world and a good harvest are also the great aspirations of Buddhism."

"Amitabha." Tang Sanzang put his hands together, and the tangled expression on his face was much less, and he said happily:

"Thank you, Bodhisattva, for solving my doubts. I understand that as long as it is a way to save people, it is worthy of praise."

"Good!"

After saying that, Guanyin Bodhisattva slowly retreated.

She probably didn't realize that Tang Sanzang kept emphasizing one word in his words - people!

Chatting with the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty headed by Li Shimin for a night did have a great impact on Tang Sanzang, because the real Li Shimin never told him these things.

Although both of them are Li Shimin, their psychological journeys are completely different, and it can be said that there is a world of difference.

Especially Li Shimin in the game house, after seeing the heavens and the worlds, his horizons were broadened. He was not too awed by any immortals and gods, but at most respected them. This was completely different from Li Shimin in Journey to the West.

In addition, he had real cases, so he directly filmed everything he did in reality and showed it to Tang Sanzang.

Let him know how powerful human beings are!

And it was the prosperous scene of the Tang Dynasty that changed Tang Sanzang's mentality.

Watching the video, from Chang'an City all the way to the south, and then from south to north, scenes of prosperity were truly presented in front of him.

The natural disasters that were unimaginable before were all conquered by humans little by little, whether it was the dry land, the steep mountain roads, or the turbulent rivers, they could no longer stop the footsteps of humans.

Every time people conquered one problem after another, the smiles on their faces were also deeply imprinted in Tang Sanzang's heart.

You know, the reason why he went to the West to obtain scriptures was not to become a Buddha, but just to make the people of the Tang Dynasty live better.

This is also the reason why Li Shimin was willing to help him.

Just like Zhao Kuangyin and his friends, when they heard Guo Xiang wanted to protect the Song Dynasty.

No matter which world, the people of the Tang Dynasty are his people!

Now, knowing that demons are rampant near the Tang Dynasty and cannibalism is evil, how can they not feel distressed?

Therefore, they don’t have many requests for Tang Sanzang, they just need to ensure that such situations will not occur in the territory of the Tang Dynasty!

As for things outside, they can’t care so much.

But Tang Sanzang wants to manage it. Since the Bodhisattva said that as long as it is a way to save people, it can be done.

Then, the demons also need to be dealt with!

Tang Sanzang’s eyes became more and more determined. He didn’t mean to kill all the monsters.

It would be a pity to kill them. He remembered what Li En said when he saw the ginseng fruit section when he watched the drama with everyone before.

"In this place, even if the Bull Demon King comes, he has to plow two acres of land and cut ten pounds of tendon meat before he can leave."

What a good resource the monsters are!

Crossing the mountains to open roads, bridges to reclaim land, aren’t they all excellent laborers?

Since the Monkey King Sun Wukong caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace and was punished to stay in the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, then there is nothing wrong with those monsters who made trouble in the human world being sentenced to work in the human world for 200 years?

Tang Sanzang also considered that after the new seeds became more abundant, there was not enough good land, and it was too troublesome to reclaim the wasteland. He simply let the monsters plow the land, which should be much more efficient.

Thinking of the rhinoceros spirits, elephant spirits, and lion spirits along the way who were good at plowing the land, Tang Sanzang couldn't sleep. He got up and packed up in a hurry and set out on the road to the west again.
