Chapter 235 What can you do if you are not reconciled?
After a long time, Townsend had no choice but to let go of other thoughts in his mind.
"That's all, Tang Seng will be Tang Seng. As long as you are steady, don't be too desperate, don't stir up trouble, and don't touch some of the secrets in the world of Journey to the West, it shouldn't be a problem to win, and you can still be a Buddha.
Plus, since we are Buddha's disciples, there won't be any big trouble..."
Thinking of this, Tang Seng felt a little better, but when he thought that this was the world of Journey to the West, he still had some grudges in his heart. This grudge came from his understanding and knowledge of this world.
After the Great Tribulation of Conferring Gods, Buddhism flourished and Buddhism spread eastward, leading to the Tribulation of Journey to the West. This was an arrangement of heaven and no one could control it.
To put it bluntly, this catastrophe is just cutting the flesh of the Taoist sect with a knife. Although the three Taoist sects have their own families, the Taoist sect is the only orthodoxy in the world passed down by the Taoist ancestors.
The Taoist ancestors became saints and blessed all sentient beings in the world. The righteous teachings of Xuanmen are the foundation of all dharma in the world.
Zixiao Palace, three thousand mortal guests!
Do you know that Buddha is also the Tao?
Now that Western religions want Buddhism to spread eastward, it is simply impossible for Taoism to say that it has done nothing. If it were not for the irreversible trend, let alone the Three Pure Ones, a heavenly court alone would be enough to make Buddhism retreat.
But as the saying goes, this is a great calamity for heaven and earth, Buddhism is flourishing, and no one can disobey it!
That's why the Taoist sect will try its best to let its disciples suffer disaster. Since they can't stop it explicitly, they should try their best to gain the merits of heaven and earth and gain some benefits from this disaster.
There seems to be no danger in this, but there are also many hidden dangers. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is not just a simple battle of merit. The skull of the ninth elder in Liusha River is still hanging around Sha Wujing's neck.
Nine is the ultimate. It can be seen from this point that not to mention the entire Taoist sect, even the heaven is worthy of Buddhism. This is a warning. Do you want Buddhism to spread eastward? Yes, but you have to pay the toll!
This is also a statement from Daomen!
Tell Buddhism, it is not Taoism that is retreating. Taoism is not avoiding you, Buddhism, but it is conforming to the general trend!
Just when Townsend was feeling extremely complicated because he had become Tang Monk in Journey to the West, the door suddenly opened, "Elder? Are you awake? How do you feel?"
A middle-aged man dressed as an Orion walked in from outside. After seeing Tang Monk, he asked with surprise.
After hearing this, Tang Seng suppressed other thoughts in his heart, got up and got out of bed, bowed to the middle-aged man, saluted, and said, "Thank you, donor, for saving your life!"
Seeing Tang Monk thanking him, the middle-aged hunter waved his hands repeatedly and laughed: "You're welcome, elder. I was going out hunting and happened to encounter that evil tiger eating people, so naturally I can't just sit idly by and ignore him.
It's just a pity that when I arrived, the evil tiger had already killed the others and only saved the elder..." When he said this, Orion shook his head and sighed.
Seeing this, Tang Seng didn't have much emotion in his heart.
Naturally, he knew that the death of those guards and the tiger had already been a disaster since he set out on the journey to the West. These people died in the great calamity of the journey to the West, and their merits were indispensable. The worst-case scenario in the next life would be to be a rich man.
If you can practice well, it is not impossible to become an immortal.
"Amitabha……"
Even though he knew that nothing would happen to these people, Tang Monk could not say that and could only whisper the Buddha's name.
"I don't know the elder's name yet, where are you going?" Seeing that Tang Monk seemed very sad, Orion wisely did not say more, but changed the subject and asked.
After hearing this, Tang Monk opened his mouth and said: "The poor monk Tang Sanzang, under the orders of the Emperor of Tang, came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty and went to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures!"
"It turned out to be Tang Yu's younger brother, Liu Boqin, paying homage to the holy monk!"
Hearing that Orion called himself Liu Boqin, Tang Monk couldn't help but take a deep look at him. Liu Boqin was a fierce man hidden in the world of Journey to the West.
Moreover, in some unofficial histories of Journey to the West, Liu Boqin also had multiple identities.
Some great Taoist god is said to be the land of the mountain god, and some even say that he is Erlang Shen. But no matter who he is, one thing is for sure, this is not an ordinary person.
You must know that Wuzhishan is not far away, and Liu Boqin told the origin of Sun Wukong in one sentence.
Tang Monk knew very well that in the first calamity of Journey to the West, the two tigers were not ordinary beasts, but spiritual beasts that were born in response to the calamity and had given birth to intelligent animals.
A hunter, no matter how powerful he is, cannot defeat a spiritual beast.
Therefore, no matter who the person in front of you is, in a word, he is not an ordinary person!
Thinking of this, Monk Tang naturally did not hesitate. He stretched out his hand and asked Liu Boqin to help him up, saying: "Donor, you don't have to be like this. Besides, you are the savior of a poor monk, so you don't deserve such a great gift!"
Being helped up by Tang Monk, Liu Boqin showed an honest smile on his face. Then he suddenly thought of something and felt a little embarrassed. He said: "Senior Monk, today is actually the anniversary of my father's death. My mother wants to ask the eminent monk to perform a ritual ceremony."
I hope the eminent monk will agree!"
With that said, Liu Boqin was about to kneel down to Tang Monk.
"Please come quickly. The benefactor is very filial, and the monks are compassionate. It is just a ritual ceremony, so the poor monk will naturally not refuse!"
Tang Monk quickly helped Liu Boqin up and said quickly.
"Thank you, holy monk!"
On the same day, Tang Seng performed rituals for Liu Boqin's father. Due to the warm invitation of Liu Boqin's family, he had no choice but to stay one night again.
Just like the original work, on the next day, the Liu family all received a dream from Liu's father, and the sixth father also informed Liu Boqin and others that they had been saved by eminent monks and all their karma had been cleared.
Soon he will be arranged by the underworld to reincarnate into the home of a wealthy businessman and start a new life.
After hearing the news, Liu Boqin's family burst into tears of joy the next morning and burst into tears of gratitude to Tang Seng. Liu Boqin even sent Tang Seng to Liangjie Mountain in person after repeatedly trying to persuade him to stay, but to no avail.
"Holy Monk, this is the Two Realms Mountain, and it is also famous for the Five Fingers Mountain that descends from the sky.
There is a monster monkey that descended from the sky under the mountain. It is very ferocious, and I don’t want to antagonize it, and I don’t want it to see me. If I let him see me with the holy monk, I’m afraid he will anger the holy monk.”
"Wuzhishan..."
After hearing Liu Boqin's introduction, Tang Monk couldn't help but look towards the towering Wuzhi Mountain in the distance, which was covered with mist.
There is Sun Wukong’s Five Fingers Mountain!
"Sun Wukong..."
After taking a deep breath, Tang Monk withdrew his gaze, looked at Liu Boqin, and said: "I have a benefactor. Let me walk the road ahead by myself. Thank you so much to the benefactor..."
After hearing what Tang Monk said, Liu Boqin stopped refusing and said, "Holy Monk, please!" Nodding, Tang Monk raised his feet and headed towards Wuzhi Mountain.
"Although I have traveled through time, I am not the protagonist. In this dangerous prehistoric world, the only thing I can do is follow the arranged path and act out a show with the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
Monkey, you must have this consciousness, because I will still be that Tang Monk, and I will have to face certain disasters. For my safety, I can only wrong you.
Although I feel very unwilling, what can I do?"
Walking step by step towards Wuzhi Mountain in the distance, staring at the mountain, Tang Monk clenched his fists in his sleeves. No matter how unwilling and unyielding he felt in his heart, he could only endure it.
Because, this journey to the west is carried out under the strict supervision of gods and Buddhas all over the sky!
