Chapter 400: The Great Sage of the Demon Realm and the Monk in White; there is another strange thing in this temple
The integration of the Three Realms and the Demonic Realm is the general trend of heaven and is irreversible.
It's only now that the signs are showing, so Wutian, as the great sage of the demon world, can reluctantly transform into a mason, patching up where there is leakage.
The Great Sage of the Demon Realm, who had just finished repairing the gap between Beiju Luzhou and the Demon Realm, sat helplessly on his black lotus platform.
Still a little impulsive.
In fact, just letting Buddha know his existence is not a troublesome matter. After all, as the great god of the demon world, he can clearly sense the changes in the luck of the demon world. If the demon world wants to appear in the world, it must absorb the luck of the three realms.
And what goes up must come down.
After the journey to the west, Buddhism's luck will reach its peak in the Three Realms. Even if he doesn't take action, Lingshan himself will take some corresponding measures.
He was just taking advantage of the situation. Instead of wasting it, it would be better to fulfill the demon world.
I just didn't expect that I would appear in the Jade Emperor's field of vision.
"Amitabha."
At this moment, a cloud of white mist suddenly floated outward from the body of the Great Sage of the Demon Realm, and then gathered together, revealing a monk in white clothes.
The saint has a kind face, always smiles, and looks compassionate. But if anyone else is around, they will definitely see that the white-robed monk looks exactly the same as the great sage from the demon world.
Because they are a person themselves.
The monk in white clothes is the benevolent thought of the great sage of the demon world. He is also the image of Kinnara Bodhisattva, the second disciple of the former Buddha of Lingshan and the great protector of Lingshan.
After the monk in white recited the Buddha's name, he smiled at the great sage of the demon world and said, "You have encountered a difficult situation."
The Great Sage of the Demon Realm will not think that the other party is laughing at him because of this. The two of them are one. In fact, it goes without saying what they are thinking in their hearts. But at the moment, he needs to use such a sense of ritual to calm down.
I feel like I can't calm down for a long time.
This is the first time he has shown cowardice since he became the Great Sage of the Demon Realm.
"Yes." The Great Sage of the Demon Realm also admitted very simply, "I have fear in my heart, which shouldn't be like this."
"Why should you be afraid?" The monk in white clasped his hands together, as if teaching an idiot who had gone astray, "As you said, you should not be afraid."
"I don't know." The eyes of the Great Sage of the Demon Realm also showed some confusion at the right time: "I am willing to fall into the Demon Realm, practice in the Demon Realm, and eventually become the Great Sage of the Demon Realm. For what purpose?"
"You think the Buddha is unfair. The gods, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas of the three realms are all sanctimonious people. You want to use the power of the demon world to return to the three realms, command the Lingshan Mountain, and even control the entire three realms." The monk in white analyzed each word.
He asked in his heart, "And now, there is only the most critical step left, but you are feeling afraid. So, what are you afraid of?"
"At first I thought I was afraid of the Jade Emperor's power." The Great Sage of the Demon World looked squarely at the white-robed monk.
"What now?"
"I"
"You are afraid that by the time you truly return to the Three Realms, the Three Realms will have turned into what you expected. You are even more afraid that you will not be able to restrain the evil thoughts and desires that have been released, and that you will destroy the Three Realms. And you also know very well that even if
I have conquered the Three Realms myself, but it is impossible to truly govern the Three Realms with a group of demons. Is that right?"
"ah--!"
The great sage of the demon world shouted angrily.
In the entire demon world, a black wind swept up in an instant, scaring all the demons into hiding.
Buzz——
The great sage of the demon world sat down on the black lotus and released a purple cloud, accompanied by a breathtaking light. The cloud and light simultaneously restrained the monk in white, seeming to suppress him.
The monk in white didn't resist. Before he disappeared, he said: "When you have reached a state like yours, magic power is no longer so important. It's just about knowing your heart and seeing your nature. Why not ask your own heart and explore your true nature?"
call--
After the monk in white clothes disappeared, the Great Sage of the Demon Realm breathed a sigh of relief. However, he originally wanted to seek inner peace, but now his heart was even more chaotic.
Or maybe he did it on purpose.
Black Robe, Giant Scorpion, and Ying Yao, these were the three subordinates he had conquered in the demon world. At this moment, they all looked dusty when they came to see them.
Obviously, the big cracks were repaired by the Great Sage of the Demon Realm, and the small cracks were naturally repaired by them.
It's just that at this moment, they are more or less emotional.
After all, they wanted to follow the Great Sage of the Demon Realm to unify the three realms, but now it is clear that the Demon Realm is merging with the Three Realms, but the Great Sage of the Demon Realm asked them to repair the gaps. This is really unusual.
But even though they were beaten, they didn't have the courage to ask more questions.
When you think about it, there is definitely love, but if you show mercy, it will definitely lead to disaster.
What is the purpose of distinguishing the Three Stages of Lingming? When you are full, you will return to the original sea.
The master and the disciples stayed in Xuanying Cave for more than a month, not only taking good care of the fairies in Qinglong Mountain, but also taking care of the fairies in several surrounding mountains and rivers.
When these little demons truly showed their kindness, the master and the disciples set off and continued to Lingshan Mountain.
It was still the same as before, walking during the day and practicing separately at night. This journey lasted for a month and a half. Although the journey was uneventful, I didn't see many people.
Now we saw noon again, and there was a high mountain blocking the road. The master and apprentice decided to have a meal first and then continue on their way.
"In the past, when I didn't arrive at Lingshan, I was always thinking about the journey, not knowing when I would be able to get the scriptures." Bajie murmured while burying a pot to make rice: "But now we have arrived in Tianzhu, and the trip to Lingshan is just around the corner.
Instead, I’m not in a hurry.”
"What do you know?" The great sage on the side smiled: "The closer we get to Lingshan, the more impatient we become. If we mess up our sense of proportion first, we will make the monks in Lingshan look down upon us."
"Hehe." Bajie laughed twice and said: "Let him look down upon us. If they really think that we are nothing more than this, they will pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, and their skills will shock everyone, and the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats will all fall down.
Here comes the futon.”
The two senior brothers were joking, and Fahai just listened on the sidelines without interrupting to see if they had any other bold words.

very.
Wukong and Bajie, apart from being unable to bear it by nature, may not have been unaffected by Fahai.
Not long after, a little white snake came back.
When Wu Jing saw Xiao Bailong returning from exploring the mountain, without waiting for him to speak first, he pointed to the high mountain in front and asked the second senior brother: "Second senior brother, look at the steep mountains in front of you. According to the second senior brother, is there anything in it?"
Monster?"
Bajie saw that even Wujing now dared to make fun of himself, and he pretended to be angry: "The road here is close to the Buddha's land. It seems that there are no evil spirits at all. But, I tell you, there must be monsters in this mountain."
"Oh?" Everyone looked over and asked, "How can you see it?"
Seeing everyone asking questions, Bajie pretended to be mysterious and said: "We can't let the news out at the moment. We'll find out after we enter the mountain later."
When everyone saw his vow, they didn't know where the confidence came from. They frightened the little white dragon who had just returned from exploring the mountain, thinking: Could it be that I didn't explore carefully enough?
There was something strange happening in the mountains, but Xiao Bailong really couldn't find any trace of the goblin. So after listening to the words of the second senior brother, he had such doubts again.
Just when he was hesitating whether to go around again, the Great Sage pressed him down and whispered: "Don't panic, wait and see what the idiot will do in a while."
When Xiao Bailong saw his elder brother speaking, he felt a little relieved. Then he walked to the master and said, "Master, there is a temple in the mountain called Bujin Temple."
"Bujin Zen Temple?" The great sage on the side said immediately after hearing this: "Master has mentioned this place before."
"I mentioned it, I mentioned it!" Bajie, who had already prepared the meal, also said, "Master said that this Bujin Zen Temple is made of bricks made of gold, covering the garden. Hehehe."
As he spoke, Bajie laughed out loud, "At that time, I said that if I went to this temple, I would touch its bricks and collect the bricks. Master punished me by copying the Heart Sutra a thousand times."
Xiao Bailong also smiled and said: "Second Senior Brother said at that time that these gold bricks were imbued with the light of the Buddha, and he wanted to touch one of them and give it to Miss Gao when he passes Gao Laozhuang back to Chang'an."
"Go, go, go, go -" Bajie swung his sleeves and said, "There is no food for Little White Dragon today. I will go to the temple later and go and change it yourself."
"Hahaha--"
Everyone laughed for a while.
"Do you still remember the origin of Bujin Temple?"
"Remember, remember!" the great sage said first: "It is said that the Buddha only gave trees to the solitary garden in Savatthi City. One of the reasons was that the elder Sudatta told the king of Kosala, Prince Jeta, that he wanted to buy
Go down to the Prince’s Gion Garden and invite me, the Buddha Sakyamuni, to come here to preach the Dharma.”
Bajie followed up and said: "Prince Jeta said that his garden is not for sale. If it must be sold, the ground must be covered with gold."
Wu Jing thought for a while and said, "Who is willing to do this?"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Xiao Bailong.
Xiao Bailong had no choice but to follow his senior brother's words and finish the story: "If I give it to Elder Gu, he will use gold as bricks and cover the ground. That's why I bought the prince's Gion Garden and invited me, the Buddha, to come and speak the Dharma."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Bailong said to his master: "Master, if my disciple's guess is correct, the Bujin Zen Temple here should be the Gion Golden Temple in this story. It's just..."
"Just what?"
"Disciple Rong is just trying to keep it a secret. When master goes to the temple, he will naturally know about it." Xiao Bailong paused and then said: "And there is another strange thing happening in the temple, and I'm afraid master will take action."
"That's alright." Fahai said with a smile, "If everything is known in advance, it would be less interesting. Just wait until you enter the temple and see it with your own eyes."
Only Bajie didn't give up and asked: "Is there really a gold brick in Xiaobailong Temple?"
"Hehehe." Xiao Bailong didn't explain clearly, he only said: "You will know the difference when the second senior brother enters the temple."
The master and the disciples ate their meal, washed the pots and bowls, and then set off into the mountains.
As soon as he entered the mountain, Xiao Bailong asked: "Second Senior Brother just said that there is a monster in the mountain. I wonder where the monster is?"
Bajie had forgotten about this, but Xiao Bailong didn't expect that Xiao Bailong would still remember it. He jumped on a rock nearby and said: "Hey, this mountain was opened by me, and this tree was planted by me. From now on,
Leave some money to buy as you pass by!"
Everyone:.
"Hehe!" Bajie smiled: "With a pig demon like me here, isn't there bound to be a demon in this mountain?"
"Go to hell!" The Great Sage flew up and kicked Bajie off the rock.
Taking advantage of the situation, Bajie went to the ground and said: "Help, help, the demon monkey is harming people! The demon monkey is harming people! Master, do you think this is another demon here?"
But when he saw that his master was indifferent, and his senior brother's stick had already hit him, he rolled again, patted his butt and headed into the forest——
The great sage is holding a golden cudgel, and he must give this idiot some color today.
After playing around and walking through several hills, we saw a large temple on the side of the road.
This temple is half big and half small, but quite large. It is half new and half old, with glazed green tiles and eight-character red walls.
You can faintly see the green pine trees and listen to the sound of the gurgling water. It is indeed an ancient temple with a long heritage.
On the gate of the mountain, there are four words "Bujin Temple" written in big writing.
After entering the mountain gate, I saw many monks under the mountain gate, carrying burdens, carrying backpacks, and pushing carts. These monks suddenly saw their masters and disciples. They first saw Master Sanzang and Xiao Bailong walking in front, and said they are such handsome people.
; Later they saw it again, but the Great Sage, Bajie and others were too frightened to come near.
He thought: Where did these monks come from?
A young novice monk was the first to react and shouted: "Are you Master Tripitaka? Are you Master Tripitaka from the Eastern Tang Dynasty?!"
"Amitabha." Fahai stopped and said, "That's the poor monk."
Since entering Tianzhu Kingdom, he has won many battles in debates on scriptures, and his reputation has become more and more popular. Now, when he goes to a Buddhist temple or a county or city, he does not need to introduce himself.
It's true that I'm still a little bit unaccustomed to it.
After hearing this, the monks no longer feared their master and disciples, but they did not get too close to them. After all, in their view, Master Tripitaka came to the door, and the eight monks were here to debate scriptures and discuss Buddhism.
Not long after, a Zen monk walked out. Fa Hai looked at his appearance and felt that he was majestic. It could be said that his face was like the full moonlight and his body was like a bodhi tree.
"Amitabha."
The two parties met and the Zen monk said, "I heard that the master was sent to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures by order of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the East."
"Exactly."
"But rumors also say that wherever the Master goes, he always seeks out eminent monks from Buddhist temples to discuss Buddhism."
"There is no end to learning." Fahai responded: "The Buddha's teachings also become clearer with more debate."
"There are several volumes of Buddhist scriptures in my temple. If we talk about eminent monks, only my master can be qualified. However, if my master is over a hundred years old and I discuss Buddhism with him, I still ask the master to take care of me."
"Amitabha." Fahai said with some helplessness: "The elder seems to regard the poor monk as an evil guest."
The Zen monk didn't say anything, which shows that this is what he was thinking.
Bajie, who had been rubbing his head against the bricks, raised his head after hearing this and said, "If you feel sorry for your master, just discuss Buddhism for your master and my master."
The Zen monk looked at Bajie and said, "My master has heard about Master Tripitaka's deeds and has been waiting to discuss Buddhism with Master Tripitaka a few months ago. This is my wish."
"Good." Fahai nodded and said, "A poor monk has his own sense of proportion."
The Zen monk said again: "The master discusses Buddhism with his master. I wonder if the young monk will be lucky enough to debate the scriptures with the master?"
Fa Hai turned back to see a few disciples, but saw that they were not afraid and even eager to try, so he just told him: "Be more polite when debating scriptures."
