Chapter 8 Conquering Demons and Demons, Introduction to the Scriptures
Duan Xiaoxiao pretended to be calm, but his voice was trembling, revealing his truest emotion: "How do you want to end it?"
"I love you."
Xuanzang said seriously.
"Ah?" Duan Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
She had been looking forward to hearing this from the other person, but at this time, in the current context, was this confession a bit inappropriate?
"I love you, but I love all living beings even more." Xuanzang said, "I have decided to go to Tianzhu to get Buddhist scriptures for all sentient beings, so that the general public can avoid disasters by reciting the scriptures. Therefore, I cannot do it for you.
Stay. Between you and me, we are destined but not destined."
"I don't understand." Duan Xiaoxiao said, "Can't I follow you?"
"No." Xuanzang shook his head: "I want to go to learn Buddhist scriptures, not to travel around the mountains and rivers, let alone to travel in the world. The first thing I have to do is to be sincere. If you take the women to learn Buddhist scriptures, your heart will be dishonest.
.It may even offend the Buddha. After all, Buddhism is a pure place where love between men and women is prohibited.”
Duan Xiaoxiao gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will wait for you here. I can afford to wait for ten or twenty years."
Xuanzang sighed and said, "You don't have to wait. Because when I make the thought of seeking scriptures, there will already be many sentient beings in this life, and you can't wait for me."
Duan Xiaoxiao: "Then why do you say you love me? Is this how you, Chen Xuanzang, love a woman?"
Xuanzang said sincerely: "I want to tell you that your efforts are not in vain. Your shadow does appear in my heart."
Duan Xiaoxiao: "..."
"Miss Duan, I wish you a happy marriage." Xuanzang clasped his hands together and whispered.
Duan Xiaoxiao was not sure what he was feeling in his heart. He was silent for a long time, took out his ancestral Wuding Flying Ring and threw it towards the other party.
Xuanzang stretched out his hand to catch the golden flying ring and asked in shock: "What does this mean?"
"Keep this, don't forget me." Duan Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "Five evil spirits, follow me."
Xuanzang held the Wuding Flying Ring in his hand and looked at Miss Duan striding away. He was stunned for a moment.
"I think you are a bit too extreme." Qin Yao said quietly.
Xuanzang gradually came to his senses and asked, "Why is it so extreme?"
"You are not allowed to bring your female relatives with you on the way to obtain the Buddhist scriptures, but what's wrong with you coming back to marry her? What's the conflict between being a sentient being and marrying her as your wife? At worst, you can take her with you to perform heroic deeds and slay demons after you obtain the Buddhist scriptures.
"Qin Yao said.
Xuanzang lowered his eyes: "It's more than a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from Tianzhu. I don't know how many hardships and dangers she will go through, and I don't know when she will return. How can I delay her because of my own selfishness?"
"This is easy to do." Sun Wukong said: "My old grandson can travel a hundred and eighty thousand miles with a cloud. I will take you to Tianzhu on a cloud. When you get to Tianzhu, you get your scripture, and we will go back to our respective hometowns.
how?"
"I feel very good." Zhu Ganghe, who was all oily, said.
"Not good, not good." At this time, a voice suddenly came from far and near, resounding throughout the wooden house.
Qin Yao, Xuanzang, and the three goblins followed the sound at the same time, and saw two shining golden monks walking into the room side by side.
"Subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger." Sun Wukong frowned and looked unhappy.
"I have seen the holy monk, I have seen the great sage." Jianglong put one hand in front of his face, performed a Buddhist salute to Xuanzang and the monkey, and called with a smile.
As for Qin Yao, Zhu Ganghe, and Fish Demon, he simply ignored them.
"I have seen two Arhats." Xuanzang returned the greeting and then asked, "Are you two coming to see me or Mr. Sun?"
"We are here to find all of you." Jianglong responded.
"Everyone?" Xuanzang looked puzzled.
"That's right." Jiang Long nodded and said, "Xuan Zang, Buddha was very happy to know that you finally understood your mission, so he asked us two brothers to give you a few words."
"Wait a minute." Xuanzang raised his hand and asked, "How does Buddha know that I understand my mission?"
The two Arhats looked at each other and laughed together.
"That's because you have Buddha in your heart, and Buddha can naturally feel your thoughts." Soon, Jianglong explained.
Xuanzang was silent.
This reason makes sense.
"May I ask these two Arhats, what did the Buddha say?"
Jiang Long responded: "First of all, Buddha asked you to accept the three demons as disciples to establish the master-disciple relationship for the purpose of enlightenment."
Xuanzang turned to look at the three demons and asked, "Are you willing to worship me as your master?"
"I don't want to." Sun Wukong said immediately.
"You have to be willing if you don't want to." Fu Hu said: "This is the decree of the Buddha. Sun Wukong, do you want to resist it?"
Sun Wukong: "..."
Thinking of the five hundred years of imprisonment in the dark, he shut up.
Sun Wukong's thorny head shut up, and the other two demons did not dare to say anything. So under the witness of Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger and Qin Yao, the three demons knelt down to Xuanzang three times and kowtowed nine times, and the master-disciple relationship was established from then on.
Shaoqing, when the three demons got up from the ground, Jianglong nodded with satisfaction, took out a whip from his hands, handed it to Xuanzang, and said:
"Xuan Zang, Sun Wukong's stubborn nature is natural.
Therefore, even if the demonic nature is removed from the heart, the viciousness is still there. If someone tries to kill someone, the demonic nature will gather in his body again.
This whip is made from the thunderbolt restraint that binds him, and can severely damage his body and soul. The Buddha ordered us to send this whip to you for your discipline."
"Thank you Arhat." Xuanzang took the whip with both hands and bowed in salute.
At the same time, a line of characters flashed before Qin Yao's eyes:
[The plot of Journey to the West to Conquer Demons has been completed. According to the plot extension of the original work, it can be seamlessly connected to Journey to the West to Conquer Demons. Do you want to abandon the connection and return to the main world immediately? 】
It wasn't until he saw this line of subtitles that Qin Yao remembered that Journey to the West: Conquering Demons and Journey to the West: Conquering Demons are sister works, just like the two Westward Journey novels.
What’s interesting is that the plot of the Demon Conquering Chapter follows immediately after the Demon Conquering Chapter. Unlike the two Westward Journey novels, there is no time difference. Qin Yao guessed that it is probably because of this that the two stories can be truly seamlessly connected.
"No." After pondering for a moment, he silently made his choice.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I have already gone through the chapter on subduing demons, and if I just follow the chapter on subduing demons, I can save a lot of money on carrying the system. He is stupid to choose to return to the main world at this time!
[You have chosen the Journey to the West to Conquer the Monster chapter. Before the plot of the Conquer the Monster chapter is completed, you will no longer have the opportunity to return to the main world.] After it made its decision, the system responded accordingly.
Qin Yao was silent and recalled the plot of Subduing the Demon in his mind.
Different from the refinement of the Conquering Demons chapter, the plot of Conquering Demons seems to be very scattered. The three major monsters are divided and seem to be unrelated. There is a hammer on the left and a mallet on the right, which is obviously different from the subduing of the three disciples in the Conquering Demons chapter.
But in fact, this movie can be summarized in one sentence, that is: Tang Xuanzang took three apprentices to defeat a BOSS team.
This BOSS team includes the leader Jiugong Zhenren, as well as Spider Spirit and Red Boy.
Thinking of this, Qin Yao couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Xuanzang.
In the original work, the chapter on subduing demons is connected to the chapter on subduing demons, but the personalities of the two Xuanzangs are not even the slightest bit different.
Xuanzang in the Conquering Demons chapter is full of great love, and even a little honest and silly; while Xuanzang in the Conquering Demons chapter has completely changed, he is sinister and scheming, and he is good at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he was defeated by this trick.
Jiugong Zhenren.
Now that the story has become a reality, the beloved Xuanzang has not turned into a sinister Xuanzang. How will the next plot unfold?
"There is one more thing." Fuhu Arhat said: "This trip to the west, you cannot fly, nor can you use any magical powers to travel. You cannot spend your own money, and you cannot try to gather wealth. You must beg alms for food and accommodation."
"Why is this?" Sun Wukong couldn't help but ask.
“Monks collect alms and beg to build good karma, so they are called alms; all alms-raising activities carried out for Buddhist services are also called alms.
The so-called alms refers to the causes and conditions for salvation. When the Tathagata entered the realm of death, he once said that those who should be saved, whether in heaven or on earth, have all been saved, and those who have not yet been saved have also made the causes and conditions for their salvation.
In other words, the Buddha came to the world to become a Buddha for alms, and alms is the practice of becoming a Buddha." Jiang Long explained.
Sun Wukong scratched his head after hearing these eloquent words and muttered in a low voice: "I don't want to become a Buddha."
Jianglong shook his head, ignored this guy, and turned to look at Xuanzang: "Xuanzang, do you understand the true meaning of what I said?"
"Young monk understands." Xuanzang clasped his hands and said respectfully: "On this journey, we must do alms for alms, make good friends, and cultivate good fortune for ourselves."
Jianglong smiled and said: "Shan."
Xuanzang then smiled and said, "You two have something else to explain."
Jiang Long then looked at Qin Yao and said leisurely: "Young Master Kong Kong."
Qin Yao was surprised and said: "My name has actually reached the ears of Buddha?"
"Buddha knows everything."
Jiang Long instinctively complimented him, and then said: "Buddha asked me to tell you something."
"What are you talking about?" Qin Yao asked.
"Don't forget your original intention and do what you want." Jianglong said.
Qin Yao's eyes flashed, and he instantly thought that his original intention here should refer to his handing over the fish demon to Xuanzang, and his decisive evacuation after discovering that Zhu Ganghye was blessed by the gods.
To put it simply, don’t go against Buddhism’s grand plan, otherwise we won’t be able to tolerate you.
On the contrary, if you do not go against Buddhism's grand plan, and even play a role in helping, then Buddhism will not target you.
This is...it's good to do it for yourself.
"I understand what Buddha means." Qin Yao cupped his hands and said.
"It's good if you understand." Jianglong chuckled and then led Fuhu away.
As for the fish demon and the pig-gang hyena, they are not even qualified to say a word...
"Now that the title of master and disciple has been decided, I will give you three names as master." After watching the two gods leave, Xuanzang said to the three demons.
"I don't need it. Wukong can be used as a Dharma name." Sun Wukong said decisively.
Xuanzang muttered the name Wukong, nodded, and looked at the pig demon and fish demon: "In that case, then you two should also start with the word Wu."
The two demons just wanted to imitate Sun Wukong and refuse, but they heard the other party laugh and say: "Follow my name? Okay, okay."
Second Demon: "..."
Xuanzang thought for a while, pointed at Zhu Ganghe and said: "His name is Wukong, so you can call him Wuneng. From now on, he will be my disciple."
"Wuneng...incompetent? This name doesn't sound good. It doesn't sound good. Master, please give me another one." Zhu Ganghe shook his head repeatedly.
Xuanzang muttered: "You loved roasting people and eating them as food during your lifetime. As my teacher, I hope you can get rid of the five kinds of meat and three kinds of disgust. Let's call you Bajie, Zhu Bajie. How about that?"
Zhu Gangxi muttered the name and said: "This name is not bad, it sounds much better than Incompetent."
According to the generation of Wu, Xuanzang gave the fish demon Sha Wujing the name. From then on, all three disciples converted to Buddhism, became Buddhist disciples, and had their own dharma names.
"Brother Kong Kong."
After giving the name, Xuanzang suddenly looked at Qin Yao, smiled and spoke.
Qin Yao smiled and said, "Aren't you planning to give me a Dharma name too?"
Xuanzang waved his hands repeatedly: "You are my friend, not my disciple, so what qualifications do I have to give you a Buddhist title? What I want to say is, do you want to go west with us?"
Although he has the ability to suppress Sun Wukong and can also control the other two demons through Sun Wukong, he is still a little worried, lest these three demons join forces to murder him.
If Mr. Kong Kong could stay with them, he would feel a little more at ease.
Qin Yao pretended to ponder, and then nodded slowly: "It's not impossible to accompany you for a while. I don't have anything else to do right now."
Xuanzang was overjoyed and blurted out: "Shan, I feel relieved if you are with me."
Hearing this, the three demons looked at each other, and Sun Wukong sent a message to provoke: "Did you hear that? I'm guarding you."
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were both speechless.
Sun Wukong felt bored and stopped talking.
Soon after, Xuanzang rode on the white horse that Duan Xiaoxiao left behind, and took the three demons and one god on the road. They climbed over the mountains, crossed the strait, greeted the morning sun, and encountered the sunset. It was half a moon in the blink of an eye.
That evening, with picturesque clouds in the sky, a group of people walked slowly on the hillside full of flowers. Qin Yao suddenly asked: "Xuan Zang, how did you conquer the great sage?"
Xuanzang was riding on a white horse and said with a smile: "I thought you were going to ask half a month ago, but I didn't expect you didn't ask until now."
Qin Yao smiled and said: "I didn't care before, but I suddenly remembered it."
In fact, the main thing is to make the question appear more natural and less purposeful.
Xuanzang said: "Do you still remember the three hundred children's songs?"
"Of course." Qin Yao pretended to be surprised: "Is it related to this?"
Xuanzang said with a smile: "Actually, the three hundred songs there are the top spiritual power of Buddhism, the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra. It's just that I have always been stuck on the lyrics and ignored the way."
"What is this way?" Qin Yao asked curiously.
Xuanzang did not think that if he just talked about it casually, the other party would understand his teaching, because the prerequisite for understanding was to understand what the Great Sun Sutra is, so he began to explain his teaching without reservation.
Qin Yao listened silently, and from time to time he would ask questions that touched Xuanzang deeply, so gradually he talked more and almost emptied himself.
A few days later.
When Xuanzang finished speaking about his last feelings, a line of characters suddenly flashed in front of Qin Yao's eyes:
[Congratulations, with Xuanzang's help, you have officially overcome the magic barrier faced by practicing the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra, and the Immortal Sutra has been successfully promoted to the entry level. 】
Qin Yao raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at Xuanzang gratefully.
He teaches the Dharma without any secrets. He is a good man. He is a pure and good man. He lives up to the name of a holy monk...
