Chapter 100: Immortal fate is hard to find, and the true scripture is hard to obtain
When the master and senior brother were thinking about who this "Lingtus Elephant Buddha" was, Bajie said: "Old Zhu was wondering just now, why do you have such true Buddhas as Lingshan Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
Scholars do not worship, but worship such a Buddha that they have never heard of... It turns out that she has blessed your country. But now it seems that she is not the real Buddha of Lingshan, but is probably a swindler. You are afraid...
"
"Bajie."
Seeing that Bajie was speaking without restraint, Fahai stopped him a little and said: "As for praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, it is better to rely on one's own efforts... Everyone in the world is waiting for immortals and Buddhas to come to save all sentient beings, but have they ever seen immortals and Buddhas to save all sentient beings?
?”
The Great Sage sighed again when he saw his master, and also said from the side: "Master, there is a natural chasm between mortals and demons... How can they strengthen themselves when such disasters are coming?"
"What Wukong said makes sense." Fahai nodded and praised him, saying, "But we can't be content with this... Since there are demons in Baoxiang Kingdom, it's hard for us to take them with us when we go there.
I will accompany you all... Although the little demons here have been killed and scattered by us, it is okay to stay temporarily, but it is not a place to stay for a long time. The poor monk has a place to go, and your family of three may be able to take refuge there."
"The place where Master spoke is Longevity Mountain?" Xiao Bailong's eyes lit up.
"Exactly."
Xiao Bailong nodded repeatedly and said: "When we came here, we cleared away the demons and robbers along the way. A rough estimate is that we will have a peaceful road section within two or three years..." He
Looking at the family of three, he said: "You guys can walk along the mountain road, go all the way east, and settle down in the Wanshou Mountain area."
"Wanshou Mountain?" The daughter asked doubtfully, "What kind of realm is that?"
"That is the location of an immortal's monastery, and it is a safe place for demons to retreat." Xiao Bailong thought for a while, then smiled and said: "I think you have good bones. If you are lucky enough to enter the eye of an immortal and be accepted as a disciple.
, isn’t it even more of a blessing?”
"My family has gone through so many hardships and suffered disasters everywhere. How could we be so lucky? If my benefactor hadn't arrived in time today, the little girl and her parents would have become the monster's food..." She
Just take it as Xiao Bailong's words of comfort.
"Girl, why should you belittle yourself?" Xiao Bailong waved his hands repeatedly, and his firm tone seemed to be unquestionable: "Girl's family has experienced many hardships but has always been able to turn danger into safety. Even if it is so dangerous today, isn't it possible to survive in desperate situations? It is because of this that girl has this
Luck can turn misfortune into good fortune everywhere. Is it a sign of good fortune to meet us this time? If we go to Wanshou Mountain again, who says we can't have another good fortune?"
It's obviously the same thing, but it's just a different word from Xiao Bailong's mouth, but it has a completely different meaning.
The family of three, who were originally a little depressed, couldn't help but smile a little on their faces.
'Can a village girl like me also practice cultivation?'
Although she was able to gain enlightenment through Xiao Bailong's words, she still had little confidence after all.
But then she thought about it, someone like her benefactor was worshiping under this holy monk again... Now she went to Lingshan to learn scriptures. If she could get another positive result, wouldn't she really be able to achieve it?
Just for the last trace of thought in her heart, she also wanted to go to Longevity Mountain, just in case she could be chosen by a god and accepted as a disciple...
The old father on the side was also thinking a lot about his children, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried. Seeing her eyes becoming more determined, he also said: "Thank you for your advice, little old man. I will set off to the east early tomorrow morning.
See the fairy scene of Wanshou Mountain."
...
The second day.
The five masters and apprentices parted ways with the family of three.
The five masters and apprentices naturally headed west. The family of three got a simple map drawn by Xiao Bailong yesterday and headed east.
When the two parties turned around and lost sight of each other, the tears in the daughter's eyes slipped inadvertently. The old father saw it and sighed: "What a bad fate, what a bad fate."
The mother hugged her children and heard the voice: "My dear daughter, how come these immortals and Buddhas are within reach of ordinary people like us? If I advise you to forget your benefactor, wouldn't it be ungrateful? But what if you
I’m always so lovesick... See how you feel in your heart, don’t you feel bad?”
The daughter wiped away her tears and said, "My daughter knows how to measure things. Mom, just don't worry."
She looked like this, the old couple all saw it, and they knew that their daughter was actually angry... But they were only two daughters. Although they wanted her to take care of them until they die, what about their daughter's happiness?
Don't care?
In this encounter, they really didn't know the good or bad, so they had no choice but to take it one step at a time.
Here, Bajie came close to Xiao Bailong and asked: "Junior brother, why don't you give her a letter and ask her to go directly to Taoist Qingfeng? With the friendship between you two, give her a fairy
Fate, isn’t it just a matter of words?”
"Second Senior Brother, if this is the case, it seems that everything has been arranged properly... but actually it is the biggest mistake."
Bajie was curious: "Why is this?"
"Immortal fate is hard to find." Fa Hai said.
The Great Sage also said at the side: "It's like if there is a true scripture in Lingshan Mountain, he can just pass it on to the Tang Dynasty. Why do people go to get the scriptures?"
Bajie thought for a while and said: "It belongs to Lingshan, so there is no reason to give it away for free. I have to ask for it from the Master of the Tang Dynasty..."
The Great Sage paused for a moment. Why does this idiot's brain work sometimes? When he is smart, he can even withstand sexual desire. When he is stupid, he is indeed cute and stupid.
"Then think about it again, I can go back and forth between Lingshan and Tang Dynasty more than ten times a day, why do you let Master walk to Xitian Lingshan one step at a time?"
Bajie rolled his eyes and already knew what Brother Monkey meant, but he deliberately teased: "Perhaps people see me as an empty-handed wolf and don't want to spend money to buy his family's scriptures... so they deliberately made such a statement
Come and make things difficult for Master."
Bajie also said that he was addicted, "Firstly, he wanted to make the master quit when he saw the difficulties...Secondly, he was trying to get rid of the king of Tang Dynasty. If he didn't want to suffer the pain of hard work, he would bring some yellow and white things.
..If it is difficult to transport the gold and silver to Lingshan, they might as well build more Golden Buddha Temples and Jade Bodhisattva Temples in the Tang Dynasty... They felt the sincerity of the Tang King in Lingshan, and they would naturally send the scriptures... also
To save all sentient beings——"
"Hahahahaha——" Bajie was deliberately making a point, but unexpectedly, Fahai laughed heartily after hearing this and said: "Bajie is such a good person, he is used to talking nonsense, how dare you go to Lingshan to face you when you say this?"
Ask Buddha?"
In fact, it was Bajie's vague words that reminded Fa Hai of many Buddhist temples in those days. Could it be that they were just trying to make money in the name of spreading scriptures?
How dare you worship the real Buddha in these temples?
The Buddha statues were carved by craftsmen based on their imagination, and even the Buddha's name was made up at random. What kind of scriptures could come from such a wild Buddhist temple?
Even if you sincerely worship, which immortal Buddha can receive this incense?
That is to say, I didn't see many Buddhist temples along the way, and Fa Hai didn't encounter similar behavior. Now that Bajie said this, he became alert.
"This so-called Spirit-tusked Elephant Buddha is probably like this."
Fa Hai is a disciple of Buddhism.
He cannot see demons or evil spirits, and he cannot tolerate those who do evil under the banner of Buddhism.
If these villains are still members of the Buddhist sect, Fahai will inevitably clean up the sect in order to maintain the reputation of the Buddhist sect.
"Just ask, if there is anything you don't dare to ask?" With a master like Fahai taking the lead, how can the disciples he teaches be peaceful, but when he saw Bajie still yelling, "I still want to ask the Buddha
,Why are there so many demons on this road to the west to block my master and disciple's journey to the west?"
The Great Sage praised him, "Of course it is to test the will of my master and disciple to go west."
Bajie waved his hands repeatedly, making a simple and honest gesture, but his words were not pleasant at all: "I think it was the Buddhas in Lingshan who regretted it midway and did not want Master to go to the West... But they were afraid of being criticized, so they deliberately said
These many obstacles are just a test for foreigners..."
After hearing Bajie's words, Xiao Bailong suddenly felt a chill in his heart and said, "Second senior brother, you can't say these nonsense. I got goosebumps all over my body after hearing this."
Several disciples looked at the master, wanting to hear what the master had to say.
Fa Hai pondered for a moment and said: "Perhaps after walking this hundred and eight thousand miles and reaching Lingshan Mountain, these questions will no longer need to be asked to the Buddha, and the answers will be given on their own."
Fahai himself is still confused about many things, but he has gained a lot of insights along the way.
Different from the past when I simply wanted to eliminate demons, this time I walked down to earth and seemed to gain another understanding of the meaning of life.
The scripture seemed to be at my feet.
In the midst of this 180,000-mile journey.
Fahai would naturally not take Bajie's nonsense to heart, but one thing he could be sure of was that the World Honored One Tathagata who was sitting in the Lingshan Mountain and the Bodhisattva who appeared again and again on the journey to the west would not be let go.
If Lingshan can't even trust these two people...then what experience is there to obtain?
"Husband, who came yesterday? Why doesn't he look like a demon?" Baihuaxi was stopped in the arms of the yellow-robed monster, but she remembered her husband's rare low-brow gesture yesterday, "Why did you treat him like that?"
Respectfully?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. What are you, a woman, asking about these things?" The yellow-robed monster felt a little aggrieved, but before going down to earth privately, he also said hello to a group of brothers and asked them to help him set it off.
, he will naturally go back after he has finished this life of being a couple with this Baihuashen in the lower world.
Unexpectedly, he had been living happily in the lower world for about ten years before he was discovered.
The person who came to earth yesterday was the chief steward of the inner court who was a close confidant of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. This time he took advantage of his own guilt... and used it as a threat to attack Tang Monk who went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.
If you don't agree, you won't be able to hide what you are doing in the lower realm of Sifan. The other party will immediately report it to the Jade Emperor. When the heavenly soldiers come to the lower realm to capture you, the entire family may not be spared.
But if this errand is done well, the chief manager will not only hide the matter for him, but also speak kindly to him in front of the Jade Emperor.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a little demon coming in a hurry to report, "Your Majesty, Master Tang Sheng and his disciples have entered the black pine forest!"
