The four masters and disciples passed through the Flame Mountain and accidentally entered the Xiaoleiyin Temple...
In the Zhuzi Kingdom, he defeated the lost lion king of Guanyin, cured the king's illness, and rescued the stolen palace empress;
In Pansi Cave, Wukong destroyed the seven witches turned into spider spirits;
In Shituoling, I ran into three demon kings with powerful powers;
Arriving at the Bhikkhu Kingdom, Wukong defeated the evil spirit transformed into a white deer from the longevity star, and entered the Kongkong Mountain;
After that, after destroying France, Wukong turned everyone in the country into monks to make the king repent and change the name of the country to Qin France;
One day when they walked to Yuhua County, the weapons of Wukong, Bajie and Sha Seng were stolen by a monster from Hukou Cave in Leopard Mountain. Taiyi came to rescue Ku Tianzun and said that the monster was transformed from his lost nine-headed lion.
Wukong and the other three retrieved their weapons and said goodbye to Tianzun;
The four masters and disciples went to Jinping Mansion to watch the lanterns, but they ran into three rhino spirits pretending to be Buddha. Wukong used the power of the four-wood bird star to get rid of them, and arrived in Tianzhu Kingdom a few days later;
Here, Wukong saw through the fake princess that the Jade Rabbit in the Moon Palace had turned into, and rescued the real princess. The king was grateful and gave Tang Seng a gift;
Everyone walked in a hurry and came to the Yuzhen Temple at the foot of Tathagata Mountain.
The four masters and disciples took a shower and changed clothes, preparing to enter the Buddha's land...
For nearly fifteen years, the four masters and apprentices went through many hardships and finally arrived at Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan.
In the Yuzhen Temple, Sun Wukong was very worried.
"Have we finally arrived?" Sun Wukong murmured.
Thinking of being suppressed, he followed Guanshiyin's guidance and followed Master Xuanzang all the way westward.
Along the way, Sun Wukong no longer regrets anything he had before.
The earliest regrets were overshadowed by the discoveries and growth along the way.
Now, the only thing Sun Wukong wants to know is whether the world he lives in is true or false.
"Senior Zhen Yuanzi said falsehoods are also true, and truths are also false. Although he relies on his own strength and wisdom to judge, the moment of revelation is always unsettling."
Along the way, Sun Wukong even recalled his own life.
Sun Wukong found out helplessly that he was always being controlled. From being a carefree stone monkey, he suddenly realized that he might die.
Later, he sought out his master and sought the Tao, until he was kicked out of the mountain by his master.
"I have to say that my happiest moment was when I was the king of Huaguo Mountain, free from restraints. In addition, it was good to learn skills from the teacher. This must be true. If this is also false, then I
Lao Sun may collapse."
The more I face the truth, the more uneasy I become.
Ever since he realized that truth is more terrifying than falsehood, Sun Wukong became obsessed with the carefree era and could not go back.
Now, the mystery is about to be revealed. He sincerely hopes that everything about him will not be too fake, so that he can give himself a reason to compromise and give himself stability.
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong shook his head.
The mystery of Senior Zhen Yuanzi,
In The True and False Monkey King, the six-eared macaque said to himself that he would wait for himself.
Later, the powerful man I met in Huoyun Cave,
This kind of thing surrounds Sun Wukong's mind and cannot be dissipated for a long time.
"Hey, I just don't know how to get along with Duzi and Junior Brother Sha. They must know it very well, but they can't help but deceive themselves. It's really difficult to handle. They are actually pretty good."
Sun Wukong sighed.
He had long seen that the two of them were performing a mission. Maybe they didn't know all the scams, but they must have known about it when they deceived themselves and their master on the way west.
For more than ten years, Sun Wukong has lacked friends, or rather has no friends. His previous friends were all false. Sun Wukong is very eager to have a few friends.
In the selection of friends, Sun Wukong has gone from strict requirements to constantly lowering requirements.
Just like Bajie and Sha Seng, Sun Wukong feels that it doesn't matter if he lies to himself, as long as he doesn't want to harm himself.
However, he is afraid of the cruelty when everything is revealed.
In that case, I will not even have any friends, which is really depressing.
"Well, by the way, I can't say that I don't have friends. Three eyes count as one, but I don't know if he thinks I am my grandson's friend?"
Sun Wukong thought for a while. In his opinion, Yang Jian was a good friend, but he didn't know if Yang Jian recognized him.
"Forget it, don't think about it."
Lying on a stone slab, Sun Wukong looked at the stars in the sky. Only at this time did he feel that he was himself.
"Wukong, why don't you rest?"
Suddenly, a voice came, and it was Tang Seng who was also unable to sleep and came out.
"Master, why didn't you sleep? Don't catch a cold." Sun Wukong quickly got up and ran to the room to get some clothes for Tang Monk to put on.
Tang Seng was very pleased. Among the three disciples, Wukong was the most worry-free, but Wukong was also the least worried.
The one who has changed the most along the way is Wukong, and the one who has not changed is also Wukong.
What has changed is Wukong's way of doing things and his personality, but what remains unchanged is Wukong's stubbornness and persistence.
"Wukong still remembers that when you and I first met, I thought that your arrival was a test given to me by the Buddha, and I tried to change you."
Tang Seng thought of the past.
When he first rescued Sun Wukong, he was still an eminent monk and thought that this was the suffering imposed on him by the Buddha.
But then he gradually experienced a lot, and Tang Seng felt that he had changed.
Along the way, there were inner demons, demonic obstacles, and the customs of the daughter country. From then on, Tang Seng did not try to change Sun Wukong.
Because he found that Sun Wukong had not changed, but he had changed.
If you have changed yourself, you have no shame in changing others.
It is said that things change and people change.
"Does the master think his apprentice has changed?" Sun Wukong asked with a smile.
"You?" Tang Monk looked at Sun Wukong carefully, shook his head with a smile and said, "You haven't changed. I can still feel your heart, and it has become more determined."
"Hey, master really understands me, but my apprentice feels that you have changed, master," said Sun Wukong.
"Yes!" Tang Monk sighed and stood up, "Master has indeed changed. Wukong, do you know what Master wants to do tomorrow?"
"Master, what do you want to do?" Sun Wukong asked.
"As a teacher, I don't want merit or magic power. I just want to get back the scriptures and fulfill my promise to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. From now on, I will be a person who teaches the sutras and steps, and I will end this life like this. Because I have become a Buddha at this moment, I feel like doing this
If you don’t get there, you can’t let go and everything will be empty.”
Tang Monk sighed and said: "You know, Wukong, my heart is bound to my teacher. In addition to the obsession to obtain the true scriptures, my teacher has other obsessions. This obsession is like an inner demon. He affects me."
Master's mind... You see, how can I let go of everything and become a Buddha when I am like this? There are things that I can't let go of as a teacher, and there are things that I can't let go of. I have changed as a teacher."
"Master, are you the leader of the daughter country?" Sun Wukong asked.
"Amitabha!" Tang Seng did not answer, but it was already very clear.
"Weishi was an orphan since he was a child, but he was adopted by an eminent monk. As a teacher in his life, he was destined to become the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng. I once thought that the only way to achieve enlightenment would be to lose everything. This is my biggest obsession. I am obsessed with the world of mortals, and I am like a dog.
, but a passing cloud;
However, after more than ten years of studying Buddhist scriptures and worshiping Buddha for half a lifetime, I realized that I could not achieve the goal of making everything empty. The Buddha said that there is reincarnation in the next life, and I, the Buddha, also have three Buddhas: past, present, and future;
... Wukong, maybe his teacher was a Buddha in the past and a Buddha in the future, but now he is a mortal."
Finished!
Tang Sheng shouted the Buddha's name again and went back to rest.
This was the last time Tang Seng had a long conversation with Sun Wukong, revealing another side of his firm Buddhist heart.
I was a little touched by Sun Wukong.
"Master was a Buddha in the past, a Buddha in the future, and a mortal now. What about me?" Sun Wukong asked.
After a long time... "I was a monkey once, now I am a walker, and in the future I will be Wukong."
…
Like Sun Wukong and Tang Monk, they were not the only ones who were uneasy.
There are also Sha Seng and Zhu Bajie.
Along the way, Bajie never forgot his engagement and tried many methods to see if he could break the promise of heaven.
No matter how hard I tried, nothing worked, so I was destined to go back after the study.
"The mission will be completed tomorrow, and the Buddhist sutra-gathering mission at the peak of Buddhism will be completed. By then, I, the old pig, will be blessed with merits, and my cultivation and realm will increase. I wonder if the merits can dissolve my old pig's engagement?"
Like Zhu Bajie, he was lying alone in bed thinking.
"But why break off the engagement? Become a disciple of Buddhism?"
After thinking about it, he said: "No, no, Buddhism seems to be strong, but what is strong is its decline. Buddhism is about to decline. The old pig is not stupid, so he will not join Buddhism."
"But if you don't join Buddhism, will you be able to become Marshal Peng when you go back?"
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "It's not good either. Marshal Tianpeng seems to have a high position, but he is always a puppet. I finally have a chance to be free this time. I can't go back."
If Buddhism does not join, Heaven will not return. Zhu Bajie is confused about what he should do.
"It is said that there are four realms in the ancient world. The spiritual world was opened by great powers, but the real ancient world is the three realms of immortality, mortal and underworld. Why not take this opportunity to go to the immortal world?
That's where the masters go, that's where the masters come out in large numbers. After my merits are perfected this time, how can I have the Da Luo level of cultivation? If I go to the fairy world with this kind of cultivation, I dare not say that I can dominate, but I can always find it.
It’s a place where you can live a happy life.”
"When the time comes, I'll take Cuilan with me...well, that's not bad either."
Zhu Bajie thought about it and realized that he was engaged to be married. Apart from the merits he deserved, Buddhism would not give him such a high position as a pig-headed man who was about to get married.
There is no freedom when you return to heaven. In this case, it is most necessary to leave the spiritual world and go to a new life.
Zhu Bajie thought that it was settled.
Buddhism gave him a non-staff establishment, and he left with Miss Gao.
This is the best at the moment, not to mention that I belong to the Jie Jiao sect. At worst, after going to the immortal world, I will go to the ancestor Tongtian Saint.
And Sha Seng!
This guy was regarded as a lunatic by Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie.
He was solemnly divining, and the silver turtle was shining with silver light.
"puff"
A mouthful of blood spilled out from Sha Monk, almost injuring his soul. This was the price of forced divination.
But Sha Seng didn't care about his injuries.
He wiped his mouth quickly, not caring about the injury, but closed his eyes to read his divination guidance.
After a while...
"Golden Arhat!"
"Is this the compensation for the completion of my merits this time? But, am I just an Arhat?"
Sha Monk was startled.
"The lowest cultivation level of an Arhat is the Taiyi level, the highest level is the Arhat subduing the dragon, subduing the tiger, and the Daluo heavenly flower blooming level. In this way, my merits this time can reach Taiyi perfection at the lowest level?"
The general of the rolling curtain is the cultivation level of the late Xuanxian.
In the heavenly court, the blessing of the God-conferring Monument can bring out the cultivation of the Golden Immortal.
This time we arrived directly from Jinxian to Taiyi Consummation. Sha Monk was actually a little excited.
Moreover, the Golden Immortal Perfection is the lowest level he considers, maybe a Golden Arhat at the Da Luo level.
This is already an extremely huge gain.
After fourteen years of studying scriptures, the merits gained ranged from Xuanxian to Daluo.
Such good deeds are indeed the key to the prosperity of Buddhism.
In addition, don't forget that he is a person who has been on the God's Monument.
On the Fengshen Monument, it is stated that whatever level you are at is that level, unless there is progress in the changes in the world.
It is impossible for individuals to make progress alone.
This time he crossed two great realms, and Sha Monk was very excited.
However, he is as embarrassed as Zhu Bajie.
"However, Buddhism is destined to decline, and I cannot join Buddhism."
"Not to mention, I am still a disciple of Chanjiao?"
"Why, don't you join Buddhism? I don't know if the merits will be cancelled..."
Sha Monk's cultivation level is too low. If he hadn't been lucky enough to become a Buddhist monk this time, he would have been one of those ordinary beings.
The kind that no one cares about even if he dies.
Just because he has low cultivation and little knowledge, he doesn't know that merit is not given by Buddhism, but by merit from heaven and earth.
What's more, they don't know that Buddhism cannot take back their merits. The reason why Buddhism canonizes them is to compensate them and to condense their destiny for a good start and a good end.
No matter what, those who seek scriptures are very lucky, and Buddhism will naturally not let them go.
If nothing else, Sha Seng and Zhu Bajie both thought wrong about one thing, that is, they thought that after the Buddhist scripture study was over, they would return to the previous state where no one cared and no one valued them.
They thought wrong.
Even after the sutra study is over, their luck will increase due to the sutra study, and their cultivation will make great progress due to their merits.
He is someone that all major forces want to recruit.
Because this kind of luck represents many, many things.
Those masters who have survived countless hardships of cause and effect, these masters who have no cause and effect, are indeed free and unrestrained.
But it also shows that future luck and opportunities are far away from them unless they fight for them.
To fight for it means that you are in trouble on your own, that your life and death are not up to others, and that you are not protected by luck.
People like Sha Seng Bajie, Wukong, and Tang Seng are those whose luck has increased and who have not yet completely gotten rid of karma and are still on the road.
It’s okay to say that such a person is a child of luck. Such a person is destined to have great tribulations and great opportunities.
Because of Buddhism, they gather their luck and merit.
This shows that the prosperity and decline of Buddhism in the future, as well as the opportunities and causes and effects arising from Buddhism, will always involve them.
Such a person is the best chess piece, and all the big forces want one.
Because getting them means that there is an opportunity to intervene in Buddhism.
They also said that in the future, they will take advantage of all opportunities and tribulations involving Buddhism.
Of course, if you want to gain benefits from the tribulations and opportunities in Buddhism, you need strength and wisdom.
It is a coincidence that those who dare to scheme against Buddhism are all saints and powerful forces with profound wisdom and strength.
They are all people who understand that only by hard work can they gain something, and naturally they are not afraid of hardships.
What they are afraid of is that since they have no cause and effect and no suffering, how can they make progress?
These people are afraid that they will not make progress, but they are not afraid of hardships.
These guys are all at the saint level and fear nothing.
so……
Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng are actually very popular. Buddhism will actively recruit them, and other forces will do the same.
Little did the two of them know that one of them was planning to return to Gao Laozhuang to take Miss Gao to the fairy world, and the other was worrying about gains and losses because he had made great progress through fortune telling.
Just like Sun Wukong and Tang Seng, they would not think about this.
One has decided to die of old age in this life, and will make an appointment with a beautiful woman in the next life, making a promise for the next life.
One is waiting to lift the fog and see how much of everything about him is true and how false.
In short, four people and a horse spent a sleepless night, anxious about the coming of day.
