"But he's an eminent monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty?"
In front of the opened door, two little Taoist boys appeared, each with an extraordinary look.
"Amitabha is the poor monk. The four monks, master and disciples passed by this place and wanted to take a rest for a night..."
Xuanzang said to the two little Taoist boys.
These two Taoist boys are Qingfeng and Mingyue.
Of course, they are also the clones of the two little Taoist boys. Their original bodies have long followed Zhen Yuanzi to the fairy world.
"My master has been waiting for a long time, please come in." After Xuanzang finished speaking, Qingfeng said to the four of them.
"Amitabha, thank the donor."
The four masters and disciples began to enter Wuzhuang Temple.
However, Sun Wukong discovered a magical thing. In the past, Bajie, who was always free and generous, and his honest third junior brother, were extra dignified this time.
You can feel the tension and fear from both of them.
"Bajie, is the owner of this house not simple?" Sun Wukong suddenly came forward and asked.
"More than simple, this is Zhen Yuan Zisheng..., ahem, it shouldn't be simple, I don't know." Zhu Bajie was nervous and almost spilled the beans, but luckily he held it back.
However, Zhu Bajie wiped the sweat from his head.
"What Zhen Yuanzi? Idiot, tell me quickly." Sun Wukong always felt that it was not simple.
"Ahem, senior brother, the master is letting us in." Sha Monk looked all around and listened to all directions. When he saw Zhu Bajie, he almost spilled the beans, so he hurriedly came to the rescue.
The two seemed to have formed an offensive and defensive alliance.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong didn't bother anymore and let Zhu Bajie go.
However, when he was about to go in, Zhu Bajie held him back.
"Brother Monkey, listen to me once. This time is different, very different. You must respect the master. This is not another time. We must be careful." Zhu Bajie was still afraid that Sun Wukong would cause trouble, so he planned to give a warning.
"Yes, Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother is right!" Sha Monk also said.
Seeing the nervous look of the two of them, Sun Wukong became more and more sure that this master's family was not simple.
In this way, the four masters and disciples entered Wuzhuang Temple.
After entering, I found that there is another world. This place doesn't look big, but inside it is a blessed heaven and earth.
The courtyards and buildings are well-proportioned and have a simple Taoist charm, which seems to benefit people a lot.
When the four of them come in, they must be polite.
Under the leadership of Qingfeng and Mingyue, the four masters and disciples came to the inner gate.
As soon as I entered the inner door, I saw a tall statue of the god standing there.
The strange thing is that this town's Yuanzi does not respect heaven and earth, but only respects a stone statue.
How do you describe the person engraved on this stone statue?
Sun Wukong saw the real sky for the first time, and countless masters with great magical powers, who were just like what he most longed for, and even surpassed it. Therefore, he was stunned for a while, and he couldn't help but kneel down and worship.
The same was true for Tang Seng. He found that he saw the Buddha. The Buddha was right in front of him. What he saw in front of him was not a statue of a god, but the Buddha. Tang Seng couldn't help but began to kneel down.
Sha Monk had never seen the Patriarch Yuanshi Tianzun, but at this moment he realized that he had seen him, so he knelt down and worshiped.
Zhu Bajie had never seen the Tongtian Saint, but he saw it at this moment, so he knelt down and worshiped.
After the four people knelt down and worshiped devoutly, they realized that they were not the masters they had seen.
It is not a Buddha or a saint, but a young Taoist with lotus feet at his feet and a jade staff in his hand.
The four of them had no idea why they knelt down?
Especially Sun Wukong, the only one he sincerely worships is his teacher Bodhi.
This is the second time I have sincerely bowed down to others.
After Sun Wukong got up, he was a little angry and confused as to why he couldn't help but kneel down. He thought it was another conspiracy.
Even Tang Monk was a little stunned. He was a disciple of Buddhism. How could he kneel down and worship a Taoist master who liked him and read: Amitabha?
Only Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng did not change. In their opinion, this was the Saint Zhen Yuanzi, and it was natural for them to kneel to the Saint, so it was no big deal.
But some people don't like it.
"Hey, two children, why don't you worship the heaven and the earth? There is only this one statue?" Sun Wukong asked in a provocative manner.
"Oh?" Mingyue smiled, "I wonder what heaven and earth you are talking about?"
After asking this question, Sun Wukong was confused, yes, what is heaven and earth?
"This is the statue of my master, our ancestor. The only contemporaries of our ancestor are gods. Saints are juniors. Buddhas in the West can only be disciples, or even disciples. You say that my master does not respect his master.
Respect, do you respect heaven and earth?" Mingyue said proudly.
The power of these words is no less than that of great destruction.
Not to mention Sun Wukong was deceived, even Zhu Bajie Sha Seng and Tang Seng were deceived.
What did you hear? Tao Tong said: The only peer of their ancestor is Heaven. This Heaven may not be the Heaven in the spiritual world that he thinks, but a higher and deeper existence.
If nothing else, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng were very shocked.
I thought: This is the statue of Master Zhen Yuanzi, and Saint Zhen Yuanzi is the first saint, so isn’t his teacher on the same level as Taoist ancestors?
Moreover, the seemingly "arrogant" introduction of the little Taoist boy does not mean that what they say is true, because if it is false, it cannot withstand the backlash of karma and cause and effect.
The saint's teachers, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, felt that their outlook on life had been reshaped, and they seemed to have peeped into the great secret between heaven and earth.
But Tang Seng was very angry, very angry.
This Taoist boy said that the Buddha of Leiyin Temple was at the level of a disciple, not even a disciple. It was an insult to the Buddha. This is really...
Tang Seng calmed down. If it weren't for his demeanor and character, he would have just waved his sleeves and walked away. It is a great sin to disrespect Buddha.
As for Sun Wukong, he was panicked.
Is it true that Buddha is a descendant of his disciples? Then who do you think you are?
Buddha can easily suppress himself like a monkey... bah bah bah, and such a strong Buddha is actually his disciple.
They don't respect heaven and earth because it's not necessary, they only respect the master?
"What is the name of this senior?" Sun Wukong asked.
Mingyue smiled and said: "My ancestor, you can just call me Taoist Wuliang."
After saying that, the four of them were stunned.
They are too weak to pay tribute to the name Wuliang Dao Zun. They have never heard of it. Generally, only masters above Daluo can pay tribute to Wuliang Dao Zun.
Seeing this, Mingyue said again: "By the way, Immeasurable Heavenly Lord is also fine. You can also call my ancestor this way."
"this--?"
Sun Wukong was excited and thought: I am afraid he has met a liar.
He hurriedly turned his eyes sharp, but there was no illusion at all. The two little Taoist boys possessed pure Taoist magic power.
But, that’s not right!
Sun Wukong has little knowledge, but Immeasurable Heavenly Lord is the Taoist name of praise, and he still knows this.
And on the other side...
Compared with Sun Wukong's shock, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng were much calmer. They were finally sure of one thing, that is, the teacher of Saint Zhen Yuanzi was indeed at the level of Taoist ancestors.
No wonder Saint Zhen Yuanzi is the first saint. It turns out there really is a supreme teacher. This makes sense. My ancestor, Saint Sanqing, has Tao Patriarch as his teacher, so he is not the first saint.
It turns out that there is a factor here, there is a being who is on par with Dao Ancestor, or even more miraculous.
As for why they haven't heard of it, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng have more experience.
Legend has it that most people don't know what level they belong to and what secrets they know about people who have achieved too high a level of cultivation.
If your cultivation level is low, you can only know some small secrets. If your level is high, you can have access to higher secrets.
Therefore, the two of them were not as shocked as Tang Monk and Sun Wukong.
but!
Suddenly, the Mingyue Taoist boy spoke again, and said to Tang Monk: "Of course, you can call this eminent monk my ancestor: Immeasurable Life Buddha!"
Tang Monk:......??
Tang Seng felt like thunder struck the ground. He saw clearly that the owner of the house was a very unfriendly person to Buddhism.
If you do this, you are not afraid that I will cause trouble for you. It is true that the ignorant are not guilty!
It seems that I have to leave as soon as possible, which is even more uncomfortable than being caught by a monster. I can still tolerate life and death. But facing someone who insults my Buddha, Tang Monk, a Buddhist disciple, cannot tolerate it.
fortunately!
The bright moon and the breeze have finished showing off.
"Okay four of you, let's go to the living room. My master will be back in a moment. When he leaves, he asked me and I to entertain the four of you. Please!"
"Thank you." Tang Seng is an eminent monk after all, and he maintains the courtesy of an eminent monk.
The four masters and apprentices, who had different ideas, followed Qingfeng and Mingyue to the living room. After a while, they saw Mingyue bringing four fruits on a tray.
"The four of you came at the right time, just in time for the ginseng fruit to ripen. My master has told me that when the four of you came..."
Four fruits were presented, which made Sha Seng and Zhu Bajie extremely greedy, but Tang Seng was quite frightened.
"Amitabha, Amitabha." Tang Monk thought to himself: How can this be fruit? Are these clearly four children?
"This is the ginseng fruit, also known as grass returning pill. It blooms once every thirty thousand years, bears fruit every thirty thousand years, matures every thirty thousand years..., ninety thousand years...smell it, take a bite..."
Qingfeng proudly said to the four masters and apprentices.
After finishing speaking, he said: "This is what the ancestor cultivated for me. The real ginseng fruit is not in this world... Okay, everyone, try it."
This exaggerated introduction made Sha Seng and Zhu Bajie look relaxed and happy.
But Sun Wukong was confused for a while.
"Is this ginseng fruit better than the flat peaches in heaven? Have I ever eaten flat peaches?" Sun Wukong asked.
He found that since he entered the Wuzhuang Temple, everything was not simple.
Whether it was his unconscious kneeling, or the performance of his two junior disciples, or the two little Taoist boys' 'boasting' that didn't sound like a joke.
All in all, it's not very simple.
Even Sun Wukong calculated that if he really lived in a world of layout, then the Wuzhuang Temple would be a place to temporarily escape from the falsehood.
Therefore Sun Wukong is extra cautious and careful.
"This is nature. Even the Renshui flat peaches in heaven can't compare, let alone the nine thousand flat peach trees. Eat it."
After answering the monkey's doubts nonchalantly, Qingfeng urged.
"Haha, then I, old Zhu, are not polite. I would like to thank Senior Zhen Yuanzi." Zhu Bajie couldn't hold himself back.
"I'm not polite, thank you, Senior Zhen Yuanzi." Sha Monk didn't seem to notice the awkward look in his master's eyes. Who cares, he would be a fool not to eat at this time.
Tang Seng said that he would not eat it and he would not eat it.
Let’s not say that the owner of this family does not respect the Buddha. Let’s just say that this fruit is obviously a baby and cannot be eaten. Even if you smell it, you will get greedy.
However, the words of Sha Seng and Bajie awakened Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong thought to himself: That's right, instead of thinking about it, it's better to meet Zhen Yuanzi. He just thought about it and forgot about the owner of this place.
Sun Wukong was not polite. He took a few bites of the ginseng fruit and found that just as he said, his whole body was boiling with magic power and his realm was loosened.
It is much stronger than the flat peach I ate. It is truly a treasure.
…………
Without Zhu Bajie inciting Sun Wukong to steal the ginseng fruit in the routine, and without Sun Wukong digging up the ginseng fruit tree, the four of them were particularly worried this time.
Sha Seng and Bajie were nervous because Zhen Yuanzi and others would receive the four of them.
Sun Wukong was full of doubts, thinking, how will he get along with his master Zhen Yuanzi later?
As for Tang Seng, he just wants to leave here, leave this place that he has no good impressions at all. The people here are too arrogant. They have deliberately or unintentionally made Buddhism worthless. It is a heinous place.
The four people, each with their own thoughts, finally waited for Zhen Yuanzi to summon them.
How to say?
Feeling like a spring breeze, Sun Wukong thought like this. I thought that the master of the two proud little Taoist boys would be even more proud, but unexpectedly, it was not like this.
Sun Wukong discovered in Zhen Yuanzi that he felt like he was still a monkey in the Three Stars Cave of the Setting Moon.
Of course this is how Sun Wukong feels.
As for Tang Monk, he was even more angry because his master ignored him. As for the monkey, he was a dignified holy monk, so he just nodded and didn't care. He was like a transparent person.
Tang Seng firmly believed that he had guessed correctly. He was a disrespectful person to Buddhism. If he could not stay in contact with such a person for a long time, he would be angry to death.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng looked relaxed. Fortunately, Saint Zhen Yuanzi ignored them, which was fine. If they were very close to them, they would be afraid.
"You monkey, why don't you kneel down when you see this saint?" Zhen Yuanzi ignored the other three people and said to Sun Wukong alone.
"You are a saint, I am also a saint, and I am the Monkey King, why should I kneel down to you?" Sun Wukong was very nervous, but also arrogant.
"Oh? Don't you know that your saint is different from me?" Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile.
He was very optimistic about the monkey, and even sympathized with it, so he felt uncomfortable after watching the monkey's previous experience, and decided to personally participate in training the monkey.
"What's the difference? Are you better than me in cultivation? I don't believe it." Sun Wukong burst into excitement.
He is testing the truth and falsehood, testing the thoughts in his heart.
In addition, Sun Wukong feels that a person who gives him as much warmth as a teacher will not harm him.
So in the dumbfounded eyes of Sha Seng and Bajie, Sun Wukong raised his stick and walked towards Zhen Yuanzi.
"It's over, it's over." Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng thought at the same time.
Immediately, it became dark, and Tang Seng, Sha Seng and Bajie found themselves unconscious.
But Sun Wukong was left alone and continued to go towards Zhen Yuanzi.
'Certainly!'
After hearing Zhen Yuanzi's final words, Sun Wukong stopped abruptly.
The body is immobilized and the magic power is immobilized.
Everything else was fine, so Sun Wukong began to struggle, resist, and try again and again.
Zhen Yuanzi looked at him like this, and his pressure continued to increase.
One point heavier, two points heavier..., ten points heavier...
Sun Wukong found that he was facing increasing pressure, and the source of the pressure was this saint named Zhen Yuanzi.
There was a huge gap. The moment Sun Wukong was frozen, he knew that this was an existence no less than Buddha.
In front of him, he was like a monkey that could be destroyed in one breath.
I was finally convinced that there were countless experts and that my previous experience was very wrong.
But fortunately, and for sure, this senior has no thoughts of harming himself, and seems to be still tempering himself.
As the pressure mounts, bang—
"Bang--"
Sun Wukong tried to hold himself up with the stick of good luck, but it still didn't work, so he finally knelt down.
The moment he knelt down, the pressure of heaven and earth disappeared, and the restrictions on himself disappeared.
"How about Monkey? I am a saint, and you say you are also a great saint. Who among us is stronger and who is weaker?"
"Sun Wukong pays homage to senior." Sun Wukong was proud of a man who was countless times stronger than himself, and did not harm himself, but instead tempered himself. Sun Wukong was proud and respectfully paid his respects.
Because for him, there are a lot of questions that he wants to ask.
"Dare you ask me, senior, if you are a Daluo expert, or a saint at Daluo level?"
"No, saints are higher than Daluo. Saints are immortal, not immortal."
"Immortal?" Sun Wukong trembled, "Not immortal, which means the difference is infinite. I am immortal, but I will die, but a saint will not die."
Besides, Saint is stronger than Da Luo, is that true?
"May I ask, junior, who is a saint above Da Luo?"
"No, those above Da Luo are quasi-sages, and those above quasi-sages are saints." Zhen Yuanzi also answered.
Of course, he didn't explain the huge difference in Da Luo's level.
It also doesn’t explain the immeasurability of the quasi-sage level.
Not to mention that among the saints, there are saints like him who transcend the Hongmeng Purple Qi and open the sky to realize the Dao.
And Sun Wukong...
"As expected, Da Luo is not the pinnacle. There are quasi-sages. Above quasi-sages, there are saints. Saints are immortal and level with the sky. This is the level with the sky."
Sun Wukong shook his head violently. The opportunity was rare and this was not the time to sigh. Sun Wukong asked again:
"Senior, junior feels that the world is fake. Are you living in a false world?"
"Ha ha……"
Zhen Yuanzi smiled, this was the reason why he met Sun Wukong this time.
"True is also false, false is also true. There is no such thing as true or false. It just lacks the eyes to see through the false and the strength to break the true and false. You have the strength, and you also have the wisdom. Both of them can see through the true and false. You need to think for yourself...
…Go for it!”
After saying this, Sun Wukong looked confused and knew that this opportunity was over.
He didn't resist, and was pushed out by a force. When he woke up, he found that the four masters and disciples were there.
As for the previous Wuzhuang Temple, it has disappeared.
It was like a dream.
But is it a dream?
Sun Wukong was sure it was not the case. It was extremely true. He asked Saint Zhen Yuanzi several questions.
Saint Zhen Yuanzi also answered himself.
In addition, my progress in cultivation and realm is due to eating ginseng fruit. This cannot be faked.
"Master, master, are you okay?"
"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, are you okay?"
After shaking his head, the third junior brother's shout came, and Sun Wukong walked out.
after.
The four masters and disciples looked at each other and said nothing, because Tang Seng was still sullen. It was obvious that he was not happy with the Wuzhuang Temple and his party before.
Sun Wukong also discovered the progress in cultivation from his two junior brothers.
This is more certain that what just happened is true.
It was at this moment that Sun Wukong slowly recalled the saint, Daluo, quasi-sage, and...
"And...?" Sun Wukong was stunned, "And what? I seem to have forgotten that the saint, Da Luo, is both true and false, and also true. He is powerful and wise. He is the embodiment of breaking illusions and the eyes to see through the true and false. But
I seem to have forgotten something?"
Sun Wukong is in a fog?
"Right? Which idol is it? The teacher of the saint..." As he spoke, Sun Wukong trembled. A teacher stronger than the saint?
"So, what level is this, beyond a saint, a super saint?" Sun Wukong began to think as hard as he could.
Even though Sha Seng and Bajie on the side urged me several times, saying: It’s time for Senior Brother to leave.
Even so, Sun Wukong did not move and still tried his best to think.
Because he found that his memory of Master Zhen Yuanzi, the sage teacher, was blurring and degrading little by little. Maybe it would all disappear as soon as he let go.
"Brother Monkey!"
However?
After a sound in his ear and a push on his body, Sun Wukong completely forgot about it.
…
ps: 5000+ Try to continue writing one chapter at night. If there is no update after 11 o'clock, it means that today is a waste. If it is not waste, I will update the second chapter before 11 o'clock in the evening. I have been a little tired recently from saving manuscripts to breaking out.
But I have also developed the habit of writing more, emmm...
