Chapter 131: Journey to the West ends, the main task 2 is completed
"Ever since that time, the holy king has been traveling around day and night very diligently. His shoes have broken through the fog on the mountain tops, and his bamboo hats have broken through the clouds on the mountains.
In the stillness of the night, the crows of apes are breathtaking, and the moonlight makes the noise of birds unbearable. When will the three or three qualities be fulfilled and the Tathagata's wonderful teachings be obtained?"
On the way to fetch Buddhist scriptures, Tang Sanzang was riding on a white dragon horse, shaking his head and lamenting the difficulty of the journey of fetching scriptures for many years. He recited poems as he hurried on.
I have to say that his poems are very good. Even Sun Wukong, who dislikes Tang Xuanzang and has been thinking about how to kill him, has to sigh in his heart. If this monk does not become a monk and becomes a scholar, he may be able to make history.
Leave your name.
It's a pity, what can you do wrong? You have to be the monk who learns Buddhist scriptures. If I don't beat you to death, when will I, Old Sun, be able to complete the main mission and seek great liberation and freedom?
Just as the pilgrim was shaking his head and chanting poems, he heard waves of water coming from ahead. Wukong jumped up, stood in the air and looked around.
But in front of me, I saw a dark area, with layers of thick waves rolling over the clouds, and layers of muddy waves rolling in black oil. No human figures could be seen from a close look, and the shapes of trees were hard to see from a distance. Ink rolled all over the ground, and gray and water foam rolled for thousands of miles.
It floats like coal, and the waves float like coal.
"Great Sage, could this be the inkstone washing pool of some immortal family? Such a big river with no end in sight, all pitch black, not to mention birds and animals on both sides of the river, not even vegetation grows, it's too much
It’s weird!”
Tang Xuanzang was riding on the white dragon horse and naturally saw the extremely eye-catching Blackwater River. Anyone who saw such a big river would be frightened.
"This place is great. If you were to rest here after your death, no one would disturb your peace. It is truly a geomantic treasure place for burial!"
Wukong chuckled, wishing that Tang Xuanzang would plunge into the black water river and never come up again.
When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he immediately fell silent. He knew that the monkey had been unhappy with him for a long time, and after the experience of almost being beaten to death twice before, he learned well and stopped preaching unless necessary.
"Namo Amitabha!"
At this moment, a Buddha trumpet sounded, and the next moment, the figure of Vajra Indestructible Buddha appeared. He was like a huge golden mountain, hovering in the air, exuding a coercive and domineering aura, like a
War Buddha.
"I remember you. You are the Indestructible Buddha, right? What's going on here this time?"
Over the years, Wukong has often interacted with powerful Buddhists on the way to seek scriptures. Although the Vajra Indestructible Buddha does not appear many times, as a Buddha-level existence, he still has some impressions.
"This time, on the order of the Buddha, I came to inform the Buddhist monks and donors!"
"What's the matter?" Upon hearing the word "Buddha", Sun Wukong's expression became serious.
"Journey to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures ends here and will not be continued any longer!"
"Um?"
Sun Wukong was stunned, scratched his ears, and suspected that he had heard wrongly.
"The Great Sage heard me right. The plan to collect scriptures is over. Next, I ask you all to come with me to Lingshan Mountain to confer the title of Buddha!"
Tang Xuanzang also had various doubts in his heart, but he did not ask any more questions. After all, this was the order of the Buddha, and he did not dare to say anything. Moreover, he would not refuse the good thing of going to Lingshan Mountain to confer the title of Buddha, which is a good thing to reach heaven in one step.
reason.
Monk Sha, who had always been taciturn, naturally did not dare to show any reluctance in front of the Vajra Buddha. Only Sun Wukong stood there, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Congratulations to the host, the second main task is completed!"
"Host task completion rate statistics are in progress..."
"If the completion rate of the host's main mission reaches 50%, you will receive a basic reward!"
"Basic rewards are being distributed. Congratulations to the host for being favored by Emperor Gouchen. You can go to the Taichu Dojo in the East China Sea to get shelter, and there is a certain chance of getting one of the emperor's nine secret arts!"
"Congratulations to the host for your extraordinary achievement. Master Bodhi, Patriarch, is happy for you!"
"The completion of main task two is less than 100%, and main task three cannot be started!"
...
Listening to the familiar voice of the system that kept ringing in his mind, Sun Wukong's expression kept changing.
The mission of traveling to the West to obtain scriptures was terminated by the Buddha's order. In theory, his mission was completed.
But the reason why the mission was completed was not because he killed the Buddhist scripture collectors or all the scripture collectors, but because of external factors. For this reason, his mission completion rate was only judged by the system as 50%.
.
He was not satisfied with the completion of this task.
Not only could he only get basic rewards, but he couldn't even start the third main mission. This ending was not what he wanted.
In his speculation, the third main task is likely to be related to whether he can become a high-ranking Taiyi realm power in the future. Ever since he witnessed the power of Buddha and Emperor Gouchen to change the world and escape in a single thought, he has become more interested in Taiyi.
The obsession with B Realm has already seeped into my heart.
After digesting all kinds of information in his mind, Sun Wukong showed a relaxed expression and cupped his hands towards the Indestructible Vajra Buddha.
"Please also ask Vajra Buddha to tell the Buddha that my old grandson is just a wild man in the mountains. He is used to being carefree and can't be restrained. He goes to Lingshan to do the Buddha's work, so there is no need for him!"
"Does the Great Sage really no longer think about it? You must know that becoming a Buddha, as long as the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is not destroyed, is truly immortal. Does the Great Sage really want to give up this opportunity?"
"Needless to say, I have been away from home for too long. Now the mission of collecting scriptures is over. Next, I plan to return to Huaguo Mountain to be my mountain king. If you have nothing to do in the future, you can come as a guest."
Having said this, Sun Wukong patted Monk Sha not far away and said, "Old Sha, you have been hardworking and uncomplaining along the way. I have never had a very good temper before, and now I have to say goodbye, so I would like to apologize to you!"
Seeing Sun Wukong, the powerful demon sage, bowing to him repeatedly, Monk Sha was immediately flattered. How dare he bear it? He quickly moved his body away, saying that he did not dare.
"Although you shouldn't, I did apologize!"
He smiled and patted Monk Sha on the shoulder again. No one noticed that an invisible power of the soul had quietly entered Monk Sha's body during this period.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Wukong turned around and looked at Tang Xuanzang with a complicated expression.
"To be honest, along the way, I saw that you, the monk, are really not very pleasing to me. If it weren't for the Buddhist Bodhisattva who stopped you before, you might have been beaten to death by me!"
Tang Xuanzang showed a wry smile. He was afraid of this monkey from the bottom of his heart. Even if the monkey was so mocking, he did not dare to refute it.
"But no matter what, we eat and sleep in the open air, travel across mountains and rivers, and travel hundreds of millions of miles. We can be considered to have a close friendship, right?"
When Tang Monk heard this, his expression suddenly became serious. He clasped his hands and said, "I would like to thank the Great Sage for your support along the way to learn the scriptures. If it hadn't been for you to subjugate and eliminate demons, the poor monk would have fallen into the belly of the demon long ago!"'
