Chapter four hundred and ninety-six at the foot of Lingshan
While walking on the road, Xuanzang would often take advantage of the opportunity to save mortals and say something to his three disciples. Even the little white dragon would passively let Xuanzang say a few words.
For example, when he saw Elder Jinchi being burned to death for stealing his cassock, Xuanzang said, "When greed arises, it will never end. Xiaobai, if Elder Jinchi had not coveted his master's cassock, how could he have ended up like this?"
What will happen?"
"When he was a boy, he only coveted the praise of the elders. When he was middle-aged, he coveted the prosperity of the world. In his later years, he coveted the people's faith. His greed completely devoured him and made him reach for his master's cassock. Everything he heard when he was a boy.
It is doomed to be greedy for more and even belittle fellow disciples in order to gain the praises of the elders."
"Although you were just greedy for food and ate the master's white horse, but this was also greed. Furthermore, you really never thought of taking the opportunity to eat the master to become immortal and live freely in the three realms? And why were you deceived?
Demoted to the Yingchoujian? Princess Wan Sheng, who was engaged to you in the past, had an affair with someone else, so you set fire to the palace pearl given by the Jade Emperor in anger. Your anger had already obscured your eyes, so you
Do such evil things."
After Xuanzang finished speaking, he patted the white dragon horse on his crotch, and the little white dragon also nodded and said, "Master is right, I loved that Princess Wan Sheng so much that I did such an unforgivable thing.
, Now that I think about it, it really shouldn’t be, she doesn’t love me in the first place, so what’s the use of me turning the world upside down like my senior brother.”
The monkey glanced sideways at Xiao Bailong and slapped him, "What am I doing and what are you doing? Besides, although I don't know anything about love, I don't want to talk about your bad things.
It was ripped off me."
"Oh, Senior Brother is teaching you a lesson." Xiao Bailong obediently gave in.
Xuanzang smiled with satisfaction, "You have completely given up."
After saying that, Xuanzang looked at Zhu Bajie who was carrying a nine-tooth nail rake and said, "Bajie, what about you?"
Hearing this, Zhu Bajie turned away from his pig-headed face and said, "Master, no matter how many hardships there are on the journey to the west, I can bear it, but I don't seek to become a Buddha. I just hope that she will be safe, safe and happy in this life. I have given the true
It's enough for me to stay by her side."
Zhu Bajie looked at the dim sky in the distance with far-reaching eyes. I will keep walking and wait for me. When my path is completed, I will always be by your side and never be separated again.
Looking at Zhu Bajie, Xuanzang sighed in his heart, knowing that he might have given up, but he had not given up either.
Although he did not appear next to the reincarnation of Fairy Yueling, the reason why he traveled westward was that one day he could stand upright with his beloved. Xuanzang shook his head and said nothing.
Monkey even glanced at his second junior brother and left two words, "Idiot."
At this time, Xuanzang turned his attention to his third disciple again, "Wu Jing, you have seen a lot in these years. What do you think of heaven..."
Sha Wujing picked up his luggage and smiled coldly, "Master, there's no need to ask. I've already understood your Tao, but I don't want to! When my Tao is perfected, I will kill the Jade Emperor with my own hands.
Son, to repay the great hatred in my heart!"
Sha Wujing's face was full of hatred, and his features were ferocious as he said, "What have I done wrong? I have lived and died for him for thousands of years, and in the end, I am going to end up like this just because I broke a glass cup! Am I not as good as a person?"
Cup! Sooner or later I will kill him and make the Jade Emperor suffer a hundred times more!"
Xuanzang was silent, but the monkey went up and hugged Sha Wujing's shoulders and said, "Junior Brother Sha said well, I will accompany you to kill the Bird Jade Emperor! Why can he control others at will?"
There is no such thing as life and death!"
"Hey, senior brother, don't be too happy. When I kill the Jade Emperor, I might kill you too. I have long disliked you, the monster monkey. You killed many of my colleagues back then.
ah."
"Oh, really. Then before you take action, Senior Brother, I will definitely kill you."
Listening to the conversation between the two brothers, Xuanzang did not ask the monkey if he was willing to let go, because he knew that it was impossible.
Looking at Lingshan Mountain in front of him, Xuanzang asked himself in his heart, does he really want to walk up Lingshan Mountain now?
Although he has saved too many people in the past seventeen years, these three disciples have never been saved by him. The obsessions in their hearts are too deep.
Looking at his three preoccupied disciples for countless nights, casting their cold and suspicious eyes on him, Xuanzang couldn't help but ask himself, is it really possible to go west?
No matter how many people he saved, the eyes of his three disciples did not change at all. They were still as cold and resentful as when they first met. The closer he got to Lingshan, the heavier Xuanzang's heart became, and he couldn't help but ask questions in his heart over and over again.
Himself, does he really want to go to Lingshan now?
Soon, Xuanzang lowered his head and stopped thinking about it, because he could feel that his path was about to be completed.
The journey to the west lasted for seventeen years. Step by step, he came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty to the foot of Lingshan Mountain in the West. Along the way, he saw too many people and saved too many people. During this period, his Mahayana Buddhism has
It was becoming more and more perfect, but he always felt that it was still a little lacking, and what was lacking was probably the debate in the Great Leiyin Temple.
The debate between him and his master was not over yet, and his master was waiting for him to go to Lingshan Mountain to debate with him. This was the last difficulty in his journey to the west.
Xuanzang's eyes were clear, and he looked at the distant Western Lingshan Mountains where the Buddha's light was flourishing. He knew that his path was there, and his path was about to be achieved. At that time, Mahayana Buddhism would spread all over the world to help all living beings escape from suffering.
, everyone can be a Buddha, and everyone can save all sentient beings.
Xuanzang recited the Buddha's name in a low voice and, accompanied by his four disciples, strode towards the distant Lingshan Mountain.
——————
At the foot of Lingshan Mountain, Venerable Ananda and Venerable Kassapa stood in the way.
And behind them were eight tribesmen.
King Asura, King Garuda, King Gandharva and other eight kings led 80,000 Buddhists and eight tribes to guard at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, looking coldly at the five masters and disciples who were slowly arriving in front of them.
Xuanzang arrived at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. Venerable Ananda and Venerable Kassapa stepped forward at the same time and chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, "Amitabha, Venerable Jinchan, please stay. The World Honored One has said that now is not the time for you to go up Lingshan Mountain."
Hearing this, Xuanzang frowned slightly, then returned the salute and said, "I hope the World-Honored One will make it clear."
Kasyapa looked at Jin Chan, and Jin Chan looked at Kasyapa. Then Kasyapa pointed at the eighty thousand Buddhists and Eight Kings behind him, "The World Honored One has said that if Jin Chan still insists on climbing the mountain, he must save the eight
My fellow servants, you can climb the mountain in this way, and the World Honored One will be waiting to debate the Dharma with you in the Great Leiyin Temple."
The monkey was stunned, and instantly took out the golden cudgel from his ear and said, "Pudu them? Eighty thousand people? Does the Tathagata want to drag us to death here?"
Venerable Ananda lowered his eyes and said, "Since the path that Venerable Jinchan is taking is the road to universal salvation, why can't eighty thousand people cross it? If even these 80,000 people cannot cross it, how can there be Mahayana Buddhism?
"
"That makes sense." After saying this, Xuanzang walked slowly towards King Asura and the Asura tribe.
The eight tribes of Buddhism are important pillars of Buddhism and are also the powerful force of Buddhism. Although each of these eight tribes and eight kings believe in Buddhism and study the wonderful principles of Buddhism, they all came out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and even
These eight tribes were the evil tribes that brought trouble to one side back then!
After being saved by the Buddha in the past, he joined Buddhism, but he was still part of Buddhism's army to suppress evil and evil.
Trying to save this group of people is just a fool's errand.
Because they believe in Buddhism and are Buddhists, how can they talk about universal salvation? They all understand Xuanzang’s way too well, and they firmly believe that the killings they do in daily life are not wrong. Everything is for the continuation of Buddhism. They must
Someone's hands were covered in blood.
The eight kings and the eight tribes all have this idea.
Seeing Xuanzang going alone to the eight tribes to save them, the monkey's eyes were cold, and he came to his two junior brothers and said, "What do you think?"
Zhu Bajie thought for a while, then shook his head, "Master, it's hard to win, because all the eight tribes have a clear conscience. Even though they have destroyed countless ethnic groups and countries that have destroyed the Buddha and disrespected the Buddha in recent years, they firmly believe that what they did is
For the continuation of Buddhism, their Taoist hearts, with their hands full of blood, have no flaw."
Sha Wujing wiped his human skull beads and said, "I don't care so much. Whether the master can or cannot bring salvation, I already know how I will go in the future. I don't need him to save me. One day I will
You can also achieve great success in Taoism."
Monkey frowned, "In other words, it will be difficult for the master to pass this level?"
"I'm afraid so." After saying that, Zhu Bajie looked at the monkey and said, "Elder brother, what do you think we should do?"
The monkey thought for a long time, and finally raised his eyes and said, "Get in! The master has arrived at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. He has also saved so many people along the way. His Taoist heart has already been extremely strong. Why do we have to listen to Tathagata, that bald donkey?"
If so, do you obediently save these eight tribesmen? Kill them all, isn't it considered that you have passed this level?"
Sha Wujing laughed loudly, "That's right, kill them all, kill them all. It's better to kill them all in the world. Then you, the monster monkey, are not far away from death!"
The monkey looked at Sha Wujing coldly, "Junior brother Sha, don't force me to kill you now. This idiot is okay, he just wants women. Little Bailong is even more ignorant. I, Old Sun, regard them as mine."
Junior brother, do you think I can’t see that your Taoist heart has been eroded by the demons in your heart? You will turn into a demon sooner or later, why don’t I get rid of this evil obstacle like you now!"
"Hahaha? Inner demon erosion? Senior brother, what if I told you that I took the initiative to open my heart and let those monsters become one with me? Senior brother, hehehe, I don't have as high a talent for cultivation as you, but I want revenge, but
Don’t worry, even if I’m possessed by all kinds of demons, I’m still me and no one can control me!”
"First Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother, please stop arguing. It took us so many years to get here. We paid so much along the way to get to the foot of Lingshan Mountain. Now it's just a matter of waiting. Why are you so anxious? What if I bother you?
If you lose the master and fall short, all our years of hard work will be in vain."
At the critical moment, it was Xiao Bailong who persuaded him to stop the monkey who wanted to hit Lingshan directly. After the monkey snorted angrily, he sat on the ground aside and watched Xuanzang impatiently from each eight.
He walked in front of everyone and took the trouble to talk to everyone.
The monkey held a piece of weed in his mouth and said, "One by one, we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Horse! It has already been eighty years of difficulty. The last difficulty is the eight tribesmen who are blocking the road. Kill them."
Once we get it, this difficulty will be complete. We will win if we obtain the scriptures and achieve the fruition status. Why is this bald donkey so pedantic!"
Hearing this, Moko Kassapa, who was watching coldly, shook his head slightly and said, "The Great Sage and Jin Chan have been away for seventeen years, and it seems that you have never understood his way. Even if you can recite his Mahayana Buddhism, but you
But I have never understood it. Haha, Jinchan, you came too early." Kasyapa could not close his eyes.
The monkey looked at Lord Kassapa coldly, not knowing what he was talking about. At the same time, all the monsters in the world heard the news that Sun Wukong and his party were stopped at the foot of Lingshan Mountain.
The Bull Demon King, who had been dormant for many years and had never even come out of the mountain even after his son was suppressed by Du Hua, gave an order and the demon army from all over the world rushed towards Lingshan together.
