"Amitabha, the poor monk Tang Sanzang paid homage to Guanyin Bodhisattva——"

With such a huge battle outside, Tang Seng finally couldn't sit still in the tent and witnessed the appearance of the flying sword and its mysterious disappearance.

Later, I saw a slovenly beggar who seemed to be very familiar with his second apprentice, Zhu Bajie.

Then, Guanyin Bodhisattva took Hui'an Walker and arrived at the Liusha River on clouds.

"Disciple Sha Wujing pays homage to Guanyin Bodhisattva——"

Just as Tang Monk bowed down, there was a noise in the Liusha River, the waves rose and the river opened, and the ferocious-looking river demon came to the bank again.

Without the "True Treasure Staff for Subduing Demons" in my hand, I came to Guanyin Bodhisattva, bowed and saluted, and knelt upward.

"Tang Sanzang, this monster in the Liusha River, was originally the curtain general of Heaven. Because he violated the rules of Heaven, he was demoted to the mortal world and was punished here."

"The poor monk saw that he was pitiful and that you needed someone to protect you while you were studying for scriptures in the West, so he asked him to wait for you here and become your disciple to protect you all the way to the West."

Guanyin Bodhisattva, the majestic treasure, carries a bit of Buddhist majesty when he appears. Not only Tang Monk and the river demon, but also Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Xiao Bailong, and Tieguai Li who happened to meet him all came to see him.

Bow and salute.

As a result, Li Zhi looked a little embarrassed standing there.

He is not a Buddhist. He had a conflict with Hui'an Walker at the Water and Land Conference at the "Shenghua Temple" in Chang'an City. Now that they meet again, he doesn't know how to act.

"Sha Wujing, your master is right in front of you, why don't you go over to see me?"

Perhaps because he saw the river demon sitting there for a long time without any reaction, Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but urge him.

"Bodhisattva, it's not because I don't know what's good or bad. It's actually that they have been here for five or six days and have never said anything about extracting the sutras."

"In the past few days, that pig and that dragon have been coming here to cause trouble. If I hadn't had the strength, I would have been injured by them."

The river demon looked at the people on the bank, felt a little conflicted in his heart, and couldn't help but complain.

"This is Tang Sanzang, the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty, who is also your master. That is your senior brother Sun Wukong, who was the Monkey King of Monkey King five hundred years ago. You must have heard of his name."

"The people you are fighting against are Zhu Wuneng, the second senior brother of the former Tianpeng Marshal, and Ao Lie, the third prince of the Dragon Palace of the West Sea. They are both disciples of Tang Sanzang, and they protected the holy monks of the Tang Dynasty in their journey to the West."

"You and others are not acquaintances. We went over to meet each other. From now on, we are both disciples of Tang Sanzang. We should support each other and realize the Western Heaven together——"

Guanyin Bodhisattva patiently introduced everyone on the shore one by one, but did not mention Li Zhi. Perhaps in Guanyin Bodhisattva's mind, even though Li Zhi was traveling with her, he was not a member of her Buddhist sect, right?

"Disciple Sha Wujing, pays homage to Master——"

Now that the words have come to this point, the river demon seems to be a bit ungrateful if he continues to stand still. After all, it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who gave him a chance to start over and make corrections.

"Hurry and excuse me, you are indeed destined brothers. The senior brother is named Sun Wukong, and he is given the nickname of 'Walker' by his teacher; the second senior brother, Zhu Wuneng, is also nicknamed 'Bajie' by his teacher.

''s alias."

"Since your name is Sha Wujing, how about I give you another nickname, 'Monk Sha'?"

Li Zhi laughed secretly in his heart, when did Tang Monk get so good at this? Every disciple has to give him a name?

Think about it, when these three disciples became famous all over the world in later generations, except for Sun Wukong, the other two were named by Tang Monk with more famous names, just like Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha.

"Thank you Master for giving me the name. I have met the senior brother and the second senior brother..."

Monk Sha looked at Xiao Bailong and Li Zhi, a little stunned, not knowing what to call them.

"Wu Jing, this little white dragon Ao Lie, please call me junior brother. As for Jiulang, he is not a member of my Buddhist sect, but a nephew of the poor monk. You can also call him 'little junior brother'——"

However, Monk Tang was considerate and resolved Monk Sha's embarrassment in time.

Xiao Bailong pulled Li Zhi, and the two took the initiative to come to Monk Sha to greet him.

According to Tang Seng's intention, Monk Sha is a senior brother. He can't let a senior brother come over to pay tribute to their two younger brothers, right?

"Amitabha, Bodhisattva, the current of this quicksand river is very fast, the waves are high, and the water has the power of weak water. It is really impossible for this poor monk to pass through in his mortal body."

Now that Monk Sha has been accepted, the next step is to cross the river. With Guanyin Bodhisattva here, Monk Tang took the initiative to ask for help.

Guanyin Bodhisattva did not reply immediately, but looked at Tang Monk in front of him with interest.

"Tang Sanzang, as a poor monk, what kind of skills have you practiced?"

When Guanyin Bodhisattva asked questions, her brows furrowed slightly, and no one knew what she was thinking.

In fact, Guanyin Bodhisattva is in a very difficult position at this moment.

Tang Monk was originally the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of the Tathagata, and a good person who practiced for ten generations. In this life, he was supposed to travel west to Lingshan Mountain and achieve Zhengtong.

Jin Chanzi was punished into reincarnation because of the conflict between his Buddhist principles and Tathagata, which triggered the twists and turns of these ten lives.

Of course, if you want to be demoted to the mortal world, you must give an explanation that can convince the public. The sentence given to Jin Chanzi is "disrespecting the Buddha's teachings".

As for how it is "contemptuous", it is not enough to be compared to outsiders.

"Amitabha, when the poor monk passed by the Buddha Mountain, he once met the powerful Buddhist Zen Master Wuchao. Master Wuchao did not give up and taught the poor monk a volume of the "Multiple Heart Sutra"."

"The poor monk recites it every day and feels that his mind is calm and his body is light and healthy. Only with this body can he better complete the great cause of learning scriptures and live up to the teachings of the Bodhisattva."

Tang Monk did not lie, but Guanyin Bodhisattva always felt that something was wrong.

"Tang Sanzang, the scriptures should not be passed down lightly. You must be a mortal and go through many hardships to obtain the true scriptures. If you become the body of an immortal Buddha, wouldn't it go against the purpose of acquiring the scriptures?"

It seems that the euphemistic statement is not enough to awaken Tang Monk, and Guanyin Bodhisattva further clarifies the way.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Amitabha, the poor monk also knows that traveling to Lingshan Mountain in the west involves hardships. Now the poor monk has given up his legs and walked to Lingshan Mountain completely, just to prove his heart towards the Buddha."

"If the Bodhisattva feels that there is something wrong with the poor monk's practice of the 'Multi-Heart Sutra', and hopes that the Bodhisattva will pass on another sutra, Tang Sanzang will definitely concentrate on practicing it and not waste time on other people's sutras."

Tang Monk and Guanyin Bodhisattva were answering each other, and Li Zhi secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Li Zhi couldn't help but wonder if he had been in contact with him for a long time. Why was Tang Seng's thinking so active now?

Many opinions or rhetoric seem to come from Li Zhi’s voice.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was also stunned, and took a closer look at the Tang monk with a low eyebrow and a flattering look in front of him. Yes, this is still the Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty a year and a half ago. Why does it seem that he has changed a lot?

"Tang Sanzang, my humble monk, you naturally understand your heart towards the Buddha, but the Buddhist teachings of our Daleiyin Temple cannot be passed down to others until you attain the Taoist Lingshan Mountain."

"Forget it, I believe in your firm belief in my Buddha, so I'll help you cross the Liusha River first."

Guanyin Bodhisattva is also very helpless.

You said that Monk Tang is a monk, and it is natural for a monk to recite sutras.

If you don't let people recite those scriptures now, then you have to give them some new scriptures. The problem is that if you give Monk Tang Monk the scriptures from Daleiyin Temple now, he will still have to travel to the West with all the hard work.

What to do in Lingshan?

Guanyin Bodhisattva has a keen eye, and she can certainly see that Tang Monk is now a true practitioner and is about to complete the foundation building.

The problem is that what Tang Monk practiced was really pure Buddhist skills, which made Guanyin Bodhisattva very depressed.

Should we stop him from cultivating, or simply destroy him?

"Hui'an, you and Wu Jing go build a Dharma boat."

Guanyin Bodhisattva took out a red gourd from his sleeve and handed it to Monk Hui'an who was following behind him. Hui'an bowed to receive it and went to cooperate with Monk Sha.

......

"Your Highness, King Jin, are you okay? We meet again——"

The arrival of Guanyin Bodhisattva was somewhat beyond Li Zhi’s expectation.

Originally, the matter of crossing the Liusha River could only be solved by a Hui'an practitioner. Li Zhi didn't understand what went wrong, but Guanyin Bodhisattva actually came in person.

However, he himself could not think of a way to let Tang Monk cross the Liusha River. Since Guanyin Bodhisattva is willing to help, that would be the best.

Therefore, since the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Li Zhi tried his best to suppress himself, not saying a word or taking a step.

He just watched there quietly, completely treating himself as an outsider, or maybe he was just an outsider.

I originally thought that after Tang Monk and the others passed by, I would use the "Rainbow Transformation Technique" to follow. Unexpectedly, he didn't say anything, but Guanyin Bodhisattva took the initiative to find him.

"Thank you for your thoughts about Venerable Guanyin. I eat well and sleep well. I feel honored to be able to see the Venerable Guanyin again!"

Now that Guanyin Bodhisattva has spoken, Li Zhi naturally doesn't want to be rude, and even clasped his hands in a salute when he spoke.

"I see that His Highness, King Jin, has a calm aura, a meaningful gaze, and a reserved spirit, but I don't know what level of cultivation His Highness has reached? Such a 'heavenly leakage body' can deceive many people's eyes."

Tang Monk's condition gave Guanyin Bodhisattva a headache, and Li Zhi in front of him made this powerful Buddhist figure even more at a loss.

Logically speaking, she should know this Li Zhi. This is actually the person that their Buddhist sect has secretly selected.

In order to promote Buddhism in China, it is not just a matter of seeking Buddhist scriptures from the West.

You must know that today's Tang Dynasty is still the world of Taoism. Even though we have made an agreement with the saints of Taoism, Buddhism will flourish during this calamity.

However, if you want to promote Buddhism in the East, you cannot bypass the Li and Tang regime.

Therefore, among the sons of Tang Emperor Li Shimin, the Ninth Prince Li Zhi was secretly selected by Buddhism.

And the operation has already begun. Another of their chess pieces is already being trained secretly, and they will take the opportunity to send him to the palace in Chang'an in three to five years.

However, Li Zhi, their default protagonist, has now followed the pilgrims to the Liusha River, which puts Guanyin Bodhisattva in a very difficult position.

"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. As you can see, this little boy's 'Heavenly Leaking Body' will never become a great weapon. This trip to the west is just to follow my uncle and take a look around."
