Under the golden body of Tathagata Buddha, the old monk was seriously criticizing Xuanzang, holding a whip in his hand, really like a dogmatic old gentleman.
"In front of the Buddha, Xuanzang, how many precepts have you broken by going down the mountain?" the old monk said.
"Breaking the precept? It doesn't exist, Master! Don't you understand your disciple yet?"
Xuanzang looked serious and seemed sincere, determined not to mention breaking the precepts.
"It is precisely because of understanding that I, the teacher, know whether the situation in your stomach is for free or not."
The old monk waved his arm and whipped out a willow whip.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the whip was struck very slowly, so Xuanzang moved his body to avoid the whip.
"Traitor, are you still hiding?" The old monk blew his beard angrily and stared.
"Master, is the Buddha watching? Don't you want the Buddha to see you whipping your disciple?
Our Buddhism does not focus on persuading others with virtue and sacrificing oneself for others.
When an apprentice makes a mistake, it's usually the master's fault, so you might as well punish yourself.
Then my disciple will be moved, so that I will respect you more." Xuanzang explained.
After listening to this, the old monk raised his white eyebrows and his anger reached its peak.
Xuanzang clasped his hands together and continued: "Master, Vajra's angry eyes are not as low as the Bodhisattva's low eyebrows. Do you know that you are so high in realm? Don't be angry, my disciple is doing this for your own good."
"Vajra's eyes are angry, and the Bodhisattva's eyebrows are low!"
The old monk's eyes changed slightly, he lowered his arms and said:
"Disciple, you still know this level of truth. These years of learning Buddhism are not in vain."
"Forget it, let's not talk about breaking the precepts. Didn't my master say that I would come back every three days? Why haven't you heard from me for so long?"
The old monk asked, although he had known everything secretly for a long time, but he still pretended to know nothing.
"I'm lost, master, do you believe it?" Xuanzang said.
"Hey, Xuanzang, looking at your stubbornness, I don't know whether you will be able to handle the great Buddhist undertakings in the future." The old monk sighed.
"No, let's replace him." Xuanzang said nonchalantly.
"Are you open-minded? Haha! If only it were that simple, but it's none of my business.
Anyway, it’s you who take the scriptures, experience the tribulations, and experience the tribulations,” the old monk said.
The old monk did not hide this matter of Buddhist scriptures from Xuanzang. He had been influenced by him since he was a child.
"Master, actually, my disciple has always had a guess. Is there a possibility that you are the Buddha's henchman who came to be my protector?"
Xuanzang asked suddenly, in a half-joking tone.
The old monk was not angry and said carelessly:
"Xuan Zang, you are so smart, haven't you guessed that there is a possibility that you are not you?"
"What do you mean?" Xuanzang frowned slightly.
"Xuan Zang, be a Buddhist scholar, be an undefined Buddhist scholar," the old monk said.
"...Master, go and pull x, go and pull the undefined x! It's easy to pull x, and it's easy for you too!" Xuanzang replied.
It's funny, right? Who can't do it?
"Snapped!"
The old monk couldn't hold himself any longer, so he slapped Xuanzang on the head and scolded:
"In front of the Buddha, he actually said such insulting words. How is it appropriate for him to do so?"
"Master, it was you who started it. It's my fault!" Xuanzang spread his hands.
"Gungungun, go face the wall. Don't go down the mountain without my teacher's permission.
Also, I will punish you not to eat meat for a month."
The old monk waved his hand and drove Xuanzang away.
"okay!"
Xuanzang left with a smile on his face. This test was over. What the old monk said was his business. It was up to him to decide whether to listen or not.
The old monk looked at the golden Buddha statue in front of him and slowly took out the chicken drumstick that had been covered for a long time from his pocket.
This Xuanzang didn't come back early or late, but he came back just when he was killing chickens for extra meals.
Now that he is back, as a master, he cannot just turn a blind eye and let him go to Chang'an.
At this moment, he took out the chicken legs and frowned thinking about what Xuanzang said just now.
How can I eat this? My appetite is gone!
…
Heavenly Court, Thirty-two Heavens, Yaochi.
As soon as Yang Jian entered Nantianmen, he was summoned to Yaochi.
Yaochi is the territory of the Queen Mother, just like the Lingxiao Palace is the territory of the Jade Emperor.
The Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor, one is in charge of the three realms, and the other is in charge of the female immortals. Although they govern the three realms together, they are not a husband and wife in the common sense. To be more precise, they should be colleagues.
For Yang Jian, the Queen Mother is more terrifying than the Jade Emperor to a certain extent.
The Queen Mother is a woman, so she is very keen on certain things, unlike the Jade Emperor who sometimes turns a blind eye.
"Little god pays homage to the empress!"
After arriving at Yaochi's main hall, Yang Jian bowed his hands and looked respectful.
"Yang Jian, you don't have to be so humble. You are the God of War in heaven and the God of punishment. How can you be a minor god?"
On the golden phoenix throne in Yaochi, a noble and graceful woman sat there.
This woman has a very beautiful face, a fairy-like air, and dignified makeup. She wears a large golden phoenix robe, but her graceful figure cannot be concealed.
This is a woman full of mature temperament, with confidence written all over her body.
She is the Queen Mother, the most noble woman in the three realms.
The Queen Mother's voice is light but full of majesty. She is not angry and has authority, which makes people bow their heads.
"In front of the empress, Yang Jian can only be regarded as a minor god. I wonder if the empress has a mission to summon the minor god?" Yang Jian said.
The majestic Queen Mother glanced at Yang Jian and asked casually: "How is your sister doing lately?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, everything is as usual."
Yang Jian replied, but his heart suddenly jumped, why did the Queen Mother suddenly ask Yang Chan.
The Queen Mother's face remained unchanged, and she said calmly: "After all, your sister has become an immortal not long ago, and her age as an immortal is not ten thousand years. The road to immortality is long and immortal. A woman guarding Huashan Mountain alone will change her mind after a long time, and she can't bear it.
Lonely. Yang Jian, you have to watch out!"
"Yes, thank you for the reminder." Yang Jian lowered his eyes, but cold sweat broke out on his back.
The Queen Mother suddenly stood up, and after thinking for a second, she said, "Yang Jian, how much do you know about the journey to the West?"
"It seems to be related to Western Buddhism? It seems that Buddhism is spreading eastward." Yang Jian said.
In fact, he only knew a little about Journey to the West, and was not very familiar with it. Moreover, it was a matter of Buddhism, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
"It is indeed the spread of Buddhism to the East. This happened when Jin Chanzi, the reincarnated disciple of the Tathagata, went to the West to obtain the true scriptures. Immortals and Buddhas all over the sky cooperated with Buddhism to create ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties." said the Queen Mother.
"Jin Chanzi!" Yang Jian's expression changed slightly again. He had just met Xuanzang.
I didn't expect that he was actually the chief envoy of Journey to the West! But this is a Buddhist matter, why did the Queen Mother get involved.
"I wonder what the queen needs from the little god?" Yang Jian asked.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes, took a sudden breath, and then said:
"This first calamity is due for me to go out to heaven, so Yang Jian, I give you a task, you have to complete the first calamity. Although you are cooperating with Buddhism to go west, the difficulty is greatly increased by me, it is best to let him
Stop!"
"What does the empress mean, silence?" Yang Jian hesitated and whispered.
"What are you trying to kill! You are not allowed to harm Jin Chanzi, it is just making the disaster more difficult!" The Queen Mother suddenly raised her voice.
"Uh..." Yang Jian was stunned, wasn't this embarrassing him?
But why does the Queen Mother look so resentful at this time?
This is not normal!
