"Huh! It's just an illusion propagated by Buddhism."
Li Shimin said with an ugly expression.
"What Mahayana Buddhist sutra can save people from suffering and live without damage? Since this sutra is so miraculous, why can't it even save the living beings in the West? Instead, let them be cannibalized by demons? Even life cannot be guaranteed!"
"It's really ridiculous to want to introduce Buddhist scriptures to the Tang Dynasty!"
"It's really ridiculous."
Queen Changsun was silent for a long time, and then sighed leisurely.
These stories shocked her so much.
I really don’t know how many such horrific things are recorded in the entire book and other chapters.
"Buddha's teachings are harmful to the country. This is not a lie. I will continue this book to let the world see the positive side of Buddhism."
Li Shimin snorted coldly.
Queen Changsun's heart moved.
"Your Majesty wants to print rubbings to promote this book?"
Li Shimin nodded.
"Yes, I finally understand why the Prince Consort wants me to read this book. If this book can be popularized in conjunction with the general trend of destroying Buddhas, it will definitely eliminate a lot of resistance and be of unimaginable help in destroying Buddhas.
As he said this, Li Shimin became excited.
Didn't the Buddhists want to use their divine power to make him surrender? Now he wanted to show these gods and Buddhas that he, Li Er, could not be manipulated casually.
Qin family,
On the long pavilion in the garden, Sun Wukong and Qin Ran were sitting opposite each other, and Guanyin Bodhisattva was sitting next to Qin Ran. The figure next to him had tenderness in his eyes.
Qin Ran said to the monkey next to him:
"Are you confused about anything?"
"There's nothing else. I just feel that my practice has been too slow since I entered Daluo."
Sun Wukong said annoyed.
Qin Ran glanced at the monkey and said slowly
“Practice is inherently about taking things step by step and not being impetuous.
Sun Wukong said:
"But my old grandson has been in seclusion in Huaguo Mountain for a long time, but he has just touched the threshold of the middle stage of Da Luo."
Guanyin Bodhisattva was speechless.
After the journey to the west, how long has it been since the dead monkey returned to Huaguo Mountain?
In such a short period of time, I came into contact with a small mouth prisoner.
This speed can be described as unbelievable, yet it is not enough.
If other cultivators knew this, they would probably die of anger on the spot.
"When did you achieve Daluo enlightenment? Now that you have a breakthrough, it is already very good."
Guanyin couldn't help but said.
"That's just for you, Bodhisattva, but it's different for me, Old Sun."
Sun Wukong said jokingly.
Guanyin was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
This monkey is still as annoying as before
In fact, I don’t blame Sun Wukong.
He was struck like this when he was walking with Qin Ran.
Qin Ran has been proving the truth for thousands of years, and his terrifying qualifications almost make him look up to him.
In contrast, his standards have naturally been infinitely higher.
"Have you ever fully understood the method of practice you taught me?"
Qin Ran asked softly.
"Most of them can be understood, but some are too obscure and profound to be captured."
Sun Wukong said.
Qin Ran nodded, understanding in his heart.
In the realm of Daluo Jinxian, the complete laws have been touched. Every step forward is very difficult.
What's more, what Sun Wukong practices is the fighting method of the Chaos Demon Ape, one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods?
With Sun Wukong's heel, it is still somewhat difficult to fully understand the true meaning.
"Look carefully, I will only demonstrate it once."
Qin Ran said this, and then a stream of light popped up with his finger, causing ripples in the space.
Suddenly, the surrounding laws of heaven and earth began to become chaotic.
The light and shadow rotated, and a huge magic ape appeared, holding a black stick and roaring.
Sun Wukong was shocked. His eyes were fixed on the fantasy in the void, and his mind was completely in a trance.
…
The above story is sensational.
Nishu, a place where Buddhism flourishes, is full of demons and monsters.
And some demons are also related to gods and Buddhas.
The story is scary, but very exciting.
Some ministers were surprised, but also very skeptical.
Whether the truth of the story is worthy of belief.
Under the deliberate promotion of the imperial court, in just a few days, the story of Journey to the West became popular throughout Chang'an City.
Not only books are widely circulated.
There are also many storytellers active among the major wine shops and teahouses in the city.
Because the books are extremely exciting, they are very suitable for storytelling
These places are often overcrowded, and there is always a line of people listening to books.
In Zhuque Street, a very large inn, many people came here early in the morning.
"Mr. Zhang, why are you here so early today?
"Isn't this the beginning of the story? If I don't come early, I'm afraid the place will be gone again soon."
"The story of Journey to the West is so exciting. I really don't know what monsters Master Tripitaka will encounter in his next difficulty, and what magical experiences he will have."
"Master Sanzang's Arhat Suppressing Demon Fist is so powerful. He suppressed the pig demon with just one punch. How come you haven't heard of such martial arts in this world before 1999?"
"You idiot, that's not martial arts, that's magical power that can only be practiced by immortals."
"That is, in my opinion, when it comes to magical powers and immortal arts, the Arhat's Demon Subduing Fist should be ranked number one in the world."
"Nonsense, the most powerful one is clearly the Tathagata Palm! When passing by the Five Elements Mountain, Master Sanzang used this palm technique to smash the entire Five Elements Mountain with one palm, and rescued the ancient demon monkey that had been suppressed for five hundred years."
"This palm technique legend was created by Tathagata Buddha. It has long gone beyond the scope of magical powers. It is an ancient forbidden magic."
"Stop talking nonsense, what you are talking about is not recorded at all!"
"Don't you think this Xihe Niuzhou is not the legendary place where Buddhism flourishes? How come there are so many demons?"
"Who knows? This is just a story. Who knows whether the story is true or false?"
"This story is absolutely true. Didn't you see that the government has announced it? This book is a true record of Master Tripitaka's journey to the West."
When many people were talking heatedly, the storyteller walked in, slapped the hall, and suddenly there was silence. Everyone straightened their backs, stared at the storyteller above with bright eyes, and raised their heads (bidh).
Ears, looking forward to the next story.
At this time, a woman walked into the inn,
This woman was wearing a pale pink dress, covered with a white gauze gown, and the pleats of her skirt were like snow and moonlight flowing to the ground.
Three thousand blue hairs are held up with hairbands, and no powder is applied, but it is difficult to hide her stunning appearance.
The autumn waves are full, and there seems to be infinite tenderness in the eyes.
As soon as the woman sat down on her seat, a commotion broke out in the crowd, and many audience members looked sideways, eyes wide open.
"Could this be a fairy from heaven?
Many young men have begun to become restless. They have never seen such a stunning beauty in all their lives.
The woman looked at the storyteller on the stage and said something about the demon. She suddenly became curious and said to the scholar next to her.
"What story is this storyteller telling? Why have you never heard it before?"
The scholar's face suddenly turned red with excitement.
"Young lady, I don't know. The person on the stage is talking about the work of Journey to the West."
The woman's beautiful eyes lit up, and her interest immediately increased.
"Journey to the West, is Tang Sanzang's trip to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures?"
The scholar was very surprised.
"Yes, that's it. It turns out that the girl already knew it."
"This book has become very popular throughout Chang'an City in the past few days, and many storytellers are telling these stories.
"This story has twists and turns and is very exciting. The most valuable thing is that it is not like other story books that are pieced together and made up out of thin air. It is a true record of learning from the West."
"Then do you know who wrote this book?"
The woman said.
"I don't know about this, but since the story is only true, the person who wants to write the book should be one of the Westward Journey travelers."
The scholar said.
The woman became more interested. To be precise, she was interested in everything related to Qin Ran.
This woman is the scorpion spirit.
The Tang Dynasty united with Taiji Immortal Palace and respected Taoism as the state religion.
She came down from the mountain this time to help Tang Dynasty destroy Buddhism and clear away obstacles.
Of course, these are just excuses, the hand wants the purpose and is willing to see Qin Ran again.
At that moment, Scorpion Jing sat down and listened to the book seriously.
The scholar originally wanted to talk, but when he saw the cold look on the scorpion spirit, he immediately became bored and stopped talking.
The storyteller on the stage has completely entered the state and slowly tells stories one by one.
But the scorpion spirit's expression became increasingly weird.
Because in the mouth of this storyteller, Tang Sanzang seemed to have changed into a different person.
This Master Tripitaka has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth. He has a graceful demeanor and looks like a talented person.
His handsomeness cannot be described in words.
Equally intelligent and handsome, the embodiment of chivalry and compassion,
He is like a white lotus that emerges from the mud but is not stained, and is clean but not evil. It is completely different from those sanctimonious Buddhist bald donkeys.
He is like a light of justice shining on the land of the West.
Whenever there are difficulties in the world, he will stand up and
Subjugate demons and eliminate evil, punish rape and eliminate evil.
Master Tripitaka is a wise man, a benevolent person, and a great commander. Under normal circumstances, he usually convinces people with his handsomeness and his virtue.
Unless this demonic thief is extremely stubborn and has done all kinds of evil and cannot be saved, he will be forced to take action.
This kind of compassion is similar to the Tathagata's cutting off meat to feed the eagle, but it is also very different.
Because the Tathagata cuts off flesh to feed eagles, it is a lie told by bald donkeys and a false propaganda of Buddhism, full of whitewashing, hypocrisy and delicate pretense.
However, Master Tripitaka influenced the world with his sincere heart.
In the process of saving the world, no matter how many slanders, misunderstandings, provocations, incomprehensions, or setbacks he encounters, he will never give up or give up, and will rise to the challenge.
Even if he was beaten into a pig's head, he would face it with a smile.
If it's really hard to get over, he'll slap you with his big mouth and lead you to sleep.
In Gaolaozhuang, Master Sanzang used the Arhat Subduing Demon Fist to suppress the pig demon in one fell swoop, turning it into a mount and saving the people from danger.
At the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, Master Tripitaka used the Tathagata Palm to smash the Five Elements Mountain into pieces with one palm, and rescued the lost ancient demon monkey Sun Popi.
In front of the Liusha River, Master Tripitaka crossed the river with a reed and was shocked.
The waves hit the shore, and he used his supreme magic power to suppress the fallen god Sha Rascal and accepted him as his disciple.
On Baihu Mountain, Master Sanzang saw through the devil's plot with his wise eyes. He used the nine-tin ring staff to beat the bone spirit three times, and finally wiped out the devil.
.....
The stories in each scene are bizarre and wonderful.
The storyteller above is full of passion, saliva is flying, and he talks endlessly.
The audience below was so excited that they turned into ardent fans.
The applause is endless,
Black lines appeared on Scorpion's forehead, completely messy in the wind.
How come this story is so outrageous?
Is this Journey to the West?
She just stayed in the Tai Chi Immortal Palace for a while. Why did she suddenly not understand the world when she got off the mountain?
Shouldn't Tang Sanzang be an old and ugly fat man with a wretched face, low conduct, and corrupt morals?
When did he become a master with great talent, compassion, and powerful magic?
Even with his three-cornered cat kung fu, Masaki was struggling.
When riding a pig, you have to pay attention to the speed limit. Every time you swing, you are in danger of being thrown off by the pig at any time.
Still have great magic power and can slay demons?
If you don't wet your pants when you see a monster, you'll already have a high fever.
What about Arhat's Demon Subduing Fist, Tathagata Divine Palm, Crossing the River with One Tail, Ling Bo - Microstep?
Each one is more outrageous than the last.
Throughout the Three Realms, I have never heard of these supernatural powers.
The adaptation is not random editing, and the drama is not nonsense. Is the person who wrote the book blind?
He actually elevated such an ugly monk to a level that didn't originally belong to him.
Reverse the facts and fool the world!
Talking about the entire Journey to the West, if it were written into a story, Qin Ran would be the only protagonist.
Only Qin Ran and giegie are her male god and her dream.
The only white moonlight in her heart.
What is Tang Sanzang?
He can also outdo Kieran, is he worthy?
The scorpion spirit was so angry that he started clapping the case.
"What a nonsense story, it really makes no sense and confuses right and wrong!"
With a bang, the table shattered on the spot.
The sound of storytelling and applause suddenly stopped.
Suddenly the scene fell silent.
The storyteller on the stage and the audience below the stage stared at the woman in front of them, completely confused.
I never thought that in such a wonderful story, someone would jump out to disrupt the situation.
The storyteller asked angrily:
"Why did the girl say this?"
"Your stories are all random adaptations, and none of the subsequent events are true."
Scorpion spirit said angrily.
"Girl, please be careful. This book is issued by the government. How can the things in the book be false?"
"Yes, is there anything that is not true? You should tell me!"
Some listeners expressed dissatisfaction.
"Then Tang Sanzang was clearly a fat man with an ugly appearance and low moral character. He had mediocre talents and abilities. He usually liked to eat meat and drink wine, and was very lustful."
"What you said in your story has nothing to do with him."
Xie Lingjing said disdainfully.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of many listeners below suddenly changed, and the crowd became excited.
"My lies are deceiving the public!"
"Stop slandering Master Tripitaka!" "Bold!"
"You are such an ignorant little woman. Master Tripitaka is compassionate, handsome, and has boundless power. Especially your conduct, his magical powers, especially what you can say?"
Everyone spoke with one voice, filled with righteous indignation, and launched a fierce criticism of the Scorpion Spirit, just to protect the sacred Master Tripitaka in their hearts.
"You all say that Tang Sanzang was omnipotent and praised him to the sky, but have you really seen him?"
Xie Xingzhen patted the table and asked coldly. The scene became quiet again.
Everyone immediately looked at each other, speechless.
