Chapter 6: It's Too Late to See You(1/2)
"Master, the scriptures are fine!"
On the big stone by the Tongtian River, Bajie and Sha Seng were examining Buddhist scriptures.
Although the Buddhist scriptures were supported by Tripitaka before, the Tongtian River below was still full of water due to the strong current.
In order to prevent the scriptures from being soaked, the lower layer needs to be inspected.
Only then did Tripitaka feel relieved when he saw that the scriptures were intact.
"Amitabha!"
However, at this moment, a Buddha's name came from afar.
"Huh?"
Monk Bajie listened intently, and even the monkey, who was leaning on the stone in a daze, couldn't help but raise his head and look over there.
Because this Buddha's name seems to come from the distant horizon. If you don't pay attention, it will be blurry, but if you use it carefully, the words will be clear and there will be no traces left behind.
The four words are pronounced in four tones: soft, loud, powerful, and hoarse. Together they are like drums at dusk and bells in the morning, shaking the soul and waking up all living beings who are lost in the world of suffering, realizing that life is just a dream!
Sanzang's golden body was shocked.
This short Buddha name seems to contain a thousand words.
When ordinary monks heard this, they thought it was Namo Amitabha. Only eminent monks with in-depth study of Buddhism can understand its mystery.
As a Buddhist, he got an unspeakable inspiration from it.
Looking at the Buddhist scriptures spread out on the stone, a flash of light flashed through my mind, as if the mist thousands of miles away had suddenly been blown away by the strong wind and dispersed, leaving the sky clear for thousands of miles.
"The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is ninety-nine. The empty one is like Tai Chi. The sky and the earth are incomplete. There must be gaps. It cannot be overfilled before the sutra can be passed on..."
These fifteen thousand one hundred and forty-four volumes of Tripitaka Buddhist scriptures are the essence of Buddhism, the path to cultivation, and the door to righteousness and goodness. They want to spread the word to the Great Tang Dynasty in the Middle Earth and the humane dynasty, which represents the shift of Qi!
Therefore, the disasters imposed by heaven and earth were inexplicably heavy before. It was the spirit of the scriptures that reminded him that he needed to give up some things, not to be perfect, and to deserve the imperfection of heaven and earth.
But in this case, is the sutra passed down to Nanzhan Buzhou still a true sutra?
Is the product of compromise still the true scripture?
What scripture do I want to preach?
Sanzang was confused.
He had doubts about the practices of Xiniu Hezhou Buddhism that were inconsistent with what the Buddhist scriptures said.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to change his strategy for spreading the faith, but it failed later. After Tathagata returned, Buddhism returned to its past.
Now he went to the Eastern Land to spread Buddhist scriptures and promote Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, also in order to spread the true Buddhism in the southern states. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the country, he was hit by the cruel reality.
"Is this a special instruction for me?"
Sanzang's eyes moved, he stood up, unfolded his magical powers, and traced the source of the sound.
After running for dozens of miles along the Tongtian River, I saw a white monk stepping on the green grass, walking as fast as flying.
The scenery is beautiful on a sunny day. The red flowers are green grass. I happily run forward. I am still young when I walk through the green mountains.
"My Buddha has mercy, this master, I don't know where he is going?"
Viewed from the rear alone, the monk was tall and tall, with a graceful and elegant temperament. When Sanzang rushed over and ran with him, he saw a handsome profile, with the light of wisdom shining in his eyes, and he looked enlightened.
The eminent monk has a kind and compassionate face.
"Come from where you came from and go to where you are going!"
This is Sanzang's answer.
"Amitabha!"
This is the practical answer of the monk in white.
Only this time, the ups and downs of the tone are different, and the style has also changed.
The four characters are integrated into one, perfect and flawless, with no gaps to be found.
Sanzang's golden body shook again, and when he looked carefully, he found that every step and every movement of this master contained mysterious principles, but there was no trace of carving at all.
Stepping on the grass, it is like a clear spring flowing over a stone, the bright moon shining among the pines, the green mountains and green waters, everything is clear, you can go where you want, stay where you want, come and go freely, so that Sanzang can't even think of fighting.
Where does this person come from?
How can you say just four words in such a shocking and shocking way?
Sanzang observed carefully and found that he couldn't tell whether it was a human or a demon!
If this person is said to be able to walk as fast as flying, comparable to the magical feet of Buddhism, but the movement of his breath is extremely strange and has never been seen before;
If it is a demon, its aura is pure and there is no trace of demonic aura or blood or filth;
"External demon?"
Sanzang immediately thought of those foreign enemies, but after carefully distinguishing them, he felt a harmonious sense of compatriots from this person.
They distinguish reincarnations not by appearance, but by a mysterious and mysterious intuition.
The main temple penetrates the source power and disturbs the way of heaven in this world. The will of the world will not sit still and wait for death. It will aggravate the aura of the reincarnated people and mark them out. Each one is like a firefly in the dark night, so eye-catching.
This is also the inevitable difficulty of opening up the world. Only if the opening up of the wasteland is successful this time and the parallel world is activated, when the next batch of reincarnations come to plunder, the will of the world has been conquered by the main temple and has become dirty. This method of distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy will not work.
.
But now, Tripitaka's reaction confirms that even the will of the world cannot distinguish between contract partners who originally came from the heavens.
Just imagine that the main temple develops character cards for the purpose of dominating the heavens. Although it is only a slim hope, even the dominating authority has the possibility of being inherited. How can it be scanned by the will of a single world on a large scale.
It's the blind spot.
Since it is not an external demon, there are many sacred beings in the three realms, and it is inevitable that some are unknown but have extraordinary attainments. Tripitaka raised his respects and said: "The poor monk named Tripitaka came from the west. I don't know where the master came from and where he went.
Where to go?"
The white-clothed monk smiled slightly: "What a good Tripitaka, which hides the sky, the earth, and all living beings! The poor monk's Dharma name is Three Nothings. No thought is the sect, no form is the body, and no abiding is the foundation. He is just a wandering monk!"
Hidden in the sky? Hidden in the earth? Hidden in all living beings?
No thought is the sect! No form is the body! No dwelling is the foundation!
Tripitaka's golden body shook wildly.
Buddhism is in the world, and it is not separated from worldly enlightenment. After leaving the world to seek Bodhi, it is just like seeking a rabbit's horn.
Isn’t the mind of my Buddha the same as this heaven, earth and all sentient beings?
Under this deafening explanation from Tripitaka, he was completely convinced.
If even those who preach the sutra do not believe that they can protect the complete true sutra, how can they preach the Dharma and save all sentient beings?
Perhaps the Tripitaka Sutra is too complete and will inevitably exude an aura of temptation and attract many evil spirits, which will cause many hardships on the road of spreading the sutra.
But he also wants to protect the scriptures and spread the complete Tripitaka scriptures to Nanzhan Buzhou!
With his ambition set, Sanzang felt refreshed and walked vigorously with Master Sanwu. The more they talked, the more they regretted meeting each other.
He himself was a deviant, unlike other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who were pretentious. However, this wandering monk was not only proficient in Buddhism, but also spoke well. There were dozens of pronunciations for Amitabha alone, which opened his eyes and made him learn subconsciously.
Soon, the two eminent monks stepped on the green grass and returned to the river.
Just when Sanzang introduced Sanwu to his three disciples, Huang Shang's star pattern moved in the imperial city where he was stationed, and a message came from inside:
"Complete the side mission, participate in the Nine Nine Eighty-One Tribulation, and receive rewards: 10,000 reincarnation points, 2 six-star purple contract power, 500 regional merit points, and two sources of power."
"You actually rewarded Yuanli?"
The first few rewards are nothing more than that. Regional merit points are special rewards for regional competitions and will be settled after the end of the world.
In this way, we can intuitively see which reincarnations have the most achievements, and the three major forces can also rank the superiors and inferiors based on the sum of the achievements of the reincarnations under their command.
Of course, it's not impossible to operate in secret. For example, Leng Jun's previous proposal of splitting the credit in half, without distinguishing between superior and inferior, can artificially control the increase in merit points to make both sides equal.
But none of these are as rewarding as the last one.
Source power!
Side quests actually reward Yuanli?
Or two parties at once!
Huang Shangdu was pleasantly surprised, but after checking, he found that his understanding of the unit of measurement was wrong.
Source power is too important to be given casually by the main temple. In the past world, only descendants of gods could receive source power rewards when completing major tasks, such as killing rebels.
Now in this big world, risks and rewards coexist. The main temple is not stingy and directly adds source power rewards to the tasks. However, not every task is given a source power. If it is divided, every twelve parties can
Condensed into a real source of power.
In other words, in this mission, the evil king took action and talked a lot, which made Sanzang strengthen his belief in obtaining scriptures. He played a good role in it, and the main temple rewarded him with one-sixth of the source power.
Not simple!
When Huang Shang announced the mission rewards, everyone's spirits were lifted. After listening to the exchange between Sanzang and the Evil King, they confirmed the key point: "It's not that we are late, it's that the plot is reversed!"
The man in front of me is not Tang Monk, but Master Tripitaka, who is about to go to the Eastern Tang Dynasty to impart Buddhist teachings.
