Tang Monk took a bath and fasted, and the Golden Summit Immortal took the four Tang Monk masters and disciples to Lingshan Mountain. There is a large river at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, which is the River of Rebirth, which can help people shed their mortal bodies.
"Golden Summit Immortal, there is no boat here, how can we cross the river." Tang Monk looked at the river below and accidentally fell directly into the river. The three people, Sun and Yuan, stood motionless and watched him helplessly.
They fell into the river and remained indifferent. They did not believe that Tang Monk would be drowned here even after they reached the foot of Lingshan Mountain.
Sure enough, Tang Monk fell into the water, his mortal body fell off and fell to the bottom of the river, but he cultivated his immortal body and flew to the shore.
"This river is really extraordinary! It can actually allow a mortal to shed his mortal body and achieve a supreme immortal body." Tuntian said, looking at the river, wanting to swallow it up.
Jinding Daxian said: "This river is the river of rebirth, which allows mortals to take off their mortal bodies, achieve the supreme immortal body, and build the foundation of immortals. Those who are not of great merit have no chance to enter the river. Lingshan is a sacred place of Buddhism, and mortals cannot go up there."
, only when a holy monk takes off his mortal body can he enter Daleiyin Temple to pay homage to the Buddha."
Then, a monk came rowing a boat.
"This is to guide the Buddha," said the Golden Summit Immortal.
After receiving the Buddha, he rowed a boat to the shore and said to Tang Monk: "Holy monk, the poor monk has come to take you across the river to Lingshan Mountain on the order of the Buddha."
"It's time to welcome the Buddha." Tang Monk bowed to the Buddha and got on the boat.
Sun and Yuan's three figures came to the boat in a flash, and led the Buddha to look at him and congratulate him: "Congratulations to the great sage for becoming the Great Luo Jinxian and living as long as heaven and earth."
"I don't want to live the same life as the heaven and the earth." He looked cold and arrogant. The world has the same life span. What kind of international joke are you kidding? He is the body of the Chaos Demon God. Even if the heaven and the earth are destroyed, he will not die. He lives the same life as the heaven and the earth. That is not the case.
Curse him to have a short life?
Jieyin Buddha knew that he had a vicious temperament and had not eliminated his demonic nature. Even if he completed his great journey to the West, he might not be able to become a Buddha.
After crossing the Tuotei River, a golden light fell, leading them to fly up to Lingshan Mountain. After a while, they arrived at the Great Leiyin Temple on the top of Lingshan Mountain.
Many Vajras, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas came one after another.
When the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas arrived, a ten-thousand-foot-long Buddha light appeared.
"Welcome the Buddha."
All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas saluted and greeted the Tathagata. Tang Monk knelt on the ground, very pious and compassionate, while Sun and Yuan crossed their arms and did not salute.
The Tathagata sat on the nine-grade golden lotus platform, sacred and solemn, and said: "I traveled to the west to measure the tribulations, and all living beings suffered tribulations. Our Buddhist sect upholds the will of heaven, presides over the tribulations, preaches to the middle land, and saves all living beings. Xuanzang and his party have gone through ninety-nine and eighty years
One calamity, one thousand two hundred and ninety-six hardships, and one hundred and eight years later, I came to Lingshan to seek the true scripture. Now that the calamity has passed, my merits have been completed, and I shall be rewarded according to my merits."
The whole journey to the west lasted more than a hundred years. How Tang Monk, a mortal, could live for so long was all because he ate ginseng fruits at Wuzhuang Temple. This was also a deal between Buddhism and Wuzhuang Temple. Otherwise, he would have died of old age on the way.
He looked at Tang Monk and said: "Xuan Zang, you are my great disciple Jin Chanzi. Because of your contempt for my Dharma, you were punished by me for reincarnation and calamity. Now you have returned from calamity and your merits are immeasurable. I canonize you as
Merit Chantan Buddha."
"Thank you, Buddha Tathagata." Tang Monk knelt down to accept the canonization.
A ray of Buddha's light fell on him, and he attained the Buddhahood.
Tathagata looked at Sun Yuan and said: "Sun Wukong, you were born as a stone monkey, but your demonic nature is difficult to train. You made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and were suppressed under Wuzhi Mountain for five hundred years. Then you escorted Xuanzang to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures and slay demons. Now, now
After you have returned from the tribulation, your merits are immeasurable. I should have named you the Fighting Bodhisattva, but the ferocious aura in you is even worse. Your demonic nature has not been eliminated and you cannot become a Buddha. I canonize you as the Fighting Bodhisattva."
But Sun Yuan was indifferent. He didn't care about Buddha or Bodhisattva at all.
The Tathagata's gaze rested on him for a few breaths. He once promised the six-eared macaque that when he completed his great journey to the west, he would be conferred the title of Victorious Buddha. Now that he was deprived of his Buddha status, he was not angry.
However, on the auspicious day of the canonization, there should be no delay at all, and then Tuntian, Bingzun and Bailongma were canonized. Tuntian and Bingzun were monks halfway, but their cultivation has reached the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal. Tathagata also knows that their true bodies are powerful.
In order to win over them, the titles that should have belonged to Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were conferred on them, namely the Messenger of the Pure Altar and the Golden Body Arhat respectively.
As for the White Dragon Horse, he returned his dragon body and was granted the title of Eight Heavenly Dragons, and could enter the Eight Heavenly Dragon Pools to practice.
Just after the Tathagata consecrated the five people, it represented the completion of the calamity and the complete end of the calamity. Heaven was aware of it and sent down the merits of heaven.
"Here we come." Sun Yuan looked into the void. This heavenly merit is a good thing. It can improve cultivation and the grade of weapons. He endured it and accompanied Tang Monk to the west, firstly for this heavenly merit, and secondly to steal Buddhism.
Luck.
The heavenly merits were divided into countless parts, five of which fell on Sun Yuan and the five people who traveled west. Sun Yuan and Tang Seng received the most merits, each occupying 10% of the heavenly merits, while Tuntian and Bingzun received 10%.
The rest of the heavenly merits went to those who helped to measure the calamity on the journey to the west. The heavens got 10% and the Buddhists got 20%.
To the north is Luzhou, the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, where demon soldiers of this world live.
Three heavenly virtues fell into the bodies of the Blue Lion King, White Elephant King and Dapeng King. The three of them obtained the heavenly virtues and made breakthroughs in their cultivation.
On Jin'ao Island overseas, a heavenly virtue fell into the body of the Bull Demon King who was practicing in seclusion. The Bull Demon King's cultivation had been stuck at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal for thousands of years.
The gate of Daluo Jinxian Realm gathers the three flowers on the top, and the five qi move toward the yuan, breaking into the Daluo Jinxian Realm.
At Da Leiyin Temple, Sun Yuan devoured the heavenly merits, broke through the tenth middle stage of the Hunshi Demonic Skills, and broke into the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian in one fell swoop. Such huge merits only allowed him to advance to one realm. It can be seen that Daluo Jinxian
How difficult it is to break through.
The cultivation levels of Swallowing Heaven and Bing Zun have skyrocketed. They have broken through from the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal to the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, which has raised two realms.
However, Tang Seng obtained the merits of heaven, but it did not bring out the merits accumulated in his previous life, Jin Chanzi Nine. On the contrary, all the merits of heaven in his body disappeared and were stolen by his son Wutian. Apart from possessing a fairy body, he had nothing.
His cultivation was no different from that of a mortal, and he did not receive any benefits. Jin Chanzi's soul could not return to its original position, and was completely replaced by Tang Monk.
Tathagata's eyes have been falling on him, waiting for his soul to return to its original position. With the merits of his journey to the west and the merits of his ninth life, he will at least break through to the late stage of Daluo Jinxian. But after waiting for a long time, there is no movement. Not only him, but also the rest
All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were also startled, obviously not knowing what was going on.
Sun Yuan on the side showed a sneer on his lips.
Tathagata immediately checked the golden cicada's Yuan Shen mark and the Daluo Dao Fruit in Tang Monk's body. The Yuan Shen mark disappeared without a trace, and the Daluo Dao Fruit also disappeared. There was a rage in his eyes.
"Who, who stole his Daluo Dao Fruit?"
As soon as these words came out, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were shocked. Jin Chanzi's Daluo Dao Fruit had been stolen. Who was so bold as to steal Jin Chanzi's Daluo Dao Fruit?
But even a quasi-sage cannot steal Jin Chanzi's Daluo Dao Fruit unless he eats it.
