Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 421 Tang Xuanzang, the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty, has arrived; my Buddha is merciful, and my disciples have many doubts
Seeing the master, the great sage just smiled and didn't speak.

Then he said to himself: "Hey. That's right. I followed Master to this Lingshan to learn scriptures, not to see them. It depends on how many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas there are in his Great Hall."

Only then did Fahai look at Wukong: "Wukong, be careful with your words."

The Great Sage just shook the golden cudgel in his hand, and the tip of the stick swept across the flowers and plants on both sides of the road, but he just swayed them according to the wind, and did not do anything to destroy the flowers.

"Little Bailong." The Great Sage asked the little Bailong again, "When Bajie was crossing the bridge just now, he was confused by lust and appetite. What about you?"

Pointing to his long hair, Xiao Bailong said helplessly: "To tell you the truth, senior brother, I heard Master say from behind, let me wait for a while...and wait until I'm shaved before crossing the bridge."

After hearing this, Bajie walked a few steps quickly, rushed forward, and asked curiously, "Then why didn't you stop and wait?"

"I've begged Master all the way. If Master wanted to shave me, he would have done it long ago. Why wait for me to cross the bridge halfway?" Xiao Bailong laughed again: "Besides. Master’s disciples are all cultivators, so I don’t care about it for a long time now.”

"Amitabha." Wu Jing recited the Buddha's name, and said with a smile, "Isn't this the true meaning of cultivation?"

Hahaha--

The brothers looked at each other and smiled.

Fa Hai was very pleased to see him. It was actually his blessing to be able to walk the 18-mile journey with the four disciples.

The obsessions in my heart are actually gradually resolved along the way, especially the inherent prejudice against demons.

It is often said in the world that if there is a law in the heart, there are spiritual mountains everywhere.

But now, his master and apprentice can be considered to have really gone to Lingshan.

Look at the top Moxiao Hanzhong in front of you, the root is connected to the Sumeru Vein.

Under the cliff, Yaocao Qihua, Zizhixianghui beside the winding path.The fairy ape picks the fruit and enters the peach grove, and the white crane sacrifices the pine tree and stands on the branch.

Looking forward, I saw Huang Sensen's gold tiles on top of mandarin ducks, and Mingbao's tiles on agate.The east row and the west row are Rui Gongzhu Que, the south area and the north area are Baoge Zhenlou.

It really deserves to be the grand place of Lingshan.

"Master, where is the place where the sun is shining?" Eight rings asked one by one.

"It should be the Palace of Heavenly Kings."

Bajie just nodded, then pointed to another place and exclaimed: "Master, look, there is another place over there that is spraying purple flames in front of the entrance."

"That's the guardian hall."

"Oh!" Just turned the corner of the mountain, the great sage who was walking in front was also taken aback, and said to the master who came after him: "Master, the ostentation of Lingshan this time is not small, it is not far from the Daleiyin Temple Mountain There are so many monks meditating here!"

The pagoda of the pagoda is visible, and the fragrance of flowers in the bowl. The master and the disciples met many monks under the green pine forest and among the green cypresses.

Without waiting for Fa Hai to express, he saw that all the monks had already bowed to Master Sanzang, and said in unison: "We welcome the holy monk."

After returning the salute, Fahai asked, "Why are you here?"

"The temple is already full, and we can't sit down. We wait for those who are not enough to practice, so we can welcome the holy monk here, and we can also look up at the holy monk's Tianyan." A bhikkhu said, "Holy monk, come into the temple quickly, the Buddha and The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have been waiting for a long time."

Fa Hai paused for a moment, and then said: "Let's wait until the poor monk has seen the Buddha and got the scriptures, and then I will tell you about it."

A group of upasakas, upasiks, bhikkhus, and bhikkhunis thanked each other with palms together, and then watched Master Sanzang go all the way to the outside of the mountain gate of Daleiyin Temple.

Outside the door were the Four Great Vajras. They saw that apart from Master Sanzang, even the Great Sage and other disciples were wearing cassocks, they couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

The Great Sage went forward to meet him, and said with a smile: "Brothers of the Mo family, you don't guard the gate of heaven, but come here to guard the gate of Buddhism. Aren't you afraid that Erlang Zhenjun will rule you for negligence?"

The boss, Mo Liqing, laughed and said: "The Great Sage doesn't know. Brothers and I are originally in charge of two places, but we used to be stationed at Tianmen, not in Lingshan. But now it is different. The Jade Emperor specially ordered us to return to Lingshan. Waiting here for the holy monk."

"Oh~" the Great Sage drew a long tone, and said with a smile: "My old grandson met all kinds of gods along the way, and they still call me the Great Sage. What, but the name of my old grandson, the Great Sage, is still on the roster of the heavenly court? "

"Yes, the Great Sage was only suppressed by the Buddha under the Five Elements Mountain back then, and he was not removed from his title. The previous section of the Great Sage's Mansion, Erlang Zhenjun, even sent someone to take care of it. If the Great Sage wants to go back, he can go to heaven at any time."

The Great Sage knew about this, but... before his Dasheng Mansion was cleaned up by Erlang Zhenjun, he should have been making chicken coops for a while.
Hmph, the Jade Emperor is too narrow-minded, but my grandson doesn't care about you, and after my grandson obtains the scriptures with his master and achieves the correct results, he will go to the Yaochi in the Heavenly Court and pray for blessings face to face.

The Great Sage stepped aside and invited Master to the front. Seeing that Master wanted to salute first, he said, "Master, these are the Four Heavenly Kings, who are old acquaintances of this disciple. You don't need to be polite to them."

In fact, there is no need for the great sage to stop them. The name of Master Sanzang and the four brothers are naturally like a thunderbolt. They greeted each other earlier: "The holy monk is coming from afar. I will welcome you."

"Amitabha Buddha." Fahai clasped his hands together: "Disciple Xuanzang, now at Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan, pays homage to my Buddha, asks for the scriptures, and asks the heavenly king to report."

when!
After a bell rang, the four great Vajras shouted to the temple together: "The Holy Monk of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzang has arrived!"

One by one, it was transmitted to the Great Hall of the Daxiong in the Daleiyin Temple.

The Buddha immediately said, "Please enter the hall!"

Fahai never thought that one day he would be invited into Lingshan with such a posture. It must be known that he wanted to go to Lingshan to pay respects to the Buddha several times back then, but he couldn't. There is a cause and effect in mind.

Fa Hai walked in the front, and the Dasheng and other disciples lined up behind him, going straight into the mountain and into the main hall.

The monks in the temple had heard about the reputation of their masters and apprentices for a long time, and now they saw it for the first time, and they all looked sideways.

Seeing that Master Sanzang really lived up to his reputation, he did not show any timidity when he entered the Buddhist holy place of Lingshan at this moment.

Although the monkey still escaped, it seemed much more disciplined than before. There were a few Arhat Bodhisattvas who were familiar with the Great Sage, and they were eyeing each other. Finally, the Bodhisattva gave him a stare, and he immediately calmed down;

The little white dragon is handsome and unrestrained in a white robe. It is said that this is one of the eight dragons set by the Buddha. The leader of the dragons was originally thought to be a young dragon, but he was so extraordinary;
Bajie was carrying a scapegoat on his back, with big arms and round waist, looking around, seeing some Yasha Rakshas who were uglier than himself, he couldn't help laughing out loud
In fact, what interests the monks the most is the enlightenment of the Buddha-nature.

The movements of gathering the primordial spirits and Buddha bodies just now on the Lingyun Ferry, naturally cannot be concealed from the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Great Hall. The obsession of the nine generations of Buddhist scriptures, even the Buddha did not expect that they could become one , and followed Tang Sanzang all the way to Lingshan.

To be honest, this is also a karma. After all, if he hadn't allowed Jin Chanzi to reincarnate for ten lives, he wouldn't have been eaten by the Rolling Curtain General for the ninth time.

In this regard, the Buddha actually sighed after seeing it. After all, the ones who were eaten were the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, and Jin Chanzi was his second disciple.

Perhaps as a master, this method of educating apprentices is too harsh, but it may not be a big deal for gods and Buddhas like them.

Originally, the Buddha thought so in his heart, but until today when he saw Wujing standing in front of him, especially when he looked at Wujing's pure eyes, he began to reflect unconsciously in his heart——

Just as Sanzang said, we are like ordinary beings, the arrogance of many immortals and some methods seem to be common, but if it falls on those nine generations of Buddhist scriptures, is it too cruel?

The Buddha has great wisdom, so he became more and more determined in his heart, and I am determined to be in the present.

It is a true reincarnation, not like the incarnation of Taoist Duobao Sakyamuni.

Fahai walked up to the Buddha and said: "The monk Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty, according to the order of the emperor of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, traveled to Baoshan to seek the real scriptures for the benefit of all living beings."

After all, bow to the Buddha.

Several disciples also bowed down together.

After Fahai got up, he bowed to the ancient burning lamp Buddha and Maitreya Buddha, and then bowed to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

As for the rest of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the main hall, they all surrounded themselves and bowed together.His eyes swept over and landed on Jin Zha and the Great Sage King Bodhisattva who were at the end of the bodhisattvas. After gesturing to each other, they saluted seriously with the Dragon Subduing Arhat among the Eighteen Arhats.

Not to mention the monks in the temple, even Jianglong Luohan himself was a little surprised. Although he is also a disciple of the Buddha, his friendship with Jin Chanzi has always been ordinary. But he didn't expect this festival to exist today. He is polite, so he naturally He would not be rude, so he returned the gift in a proper manner.

After giving up here, Master Sanzang presented the certificate of customs clearance with his own hands. After the Tathagata Buddha read it carefully, he handed it back to Sanzang, and said with a smile: "Three Zang has worked hard all the way."

"Compared to the hardships of all sentient beings, disciples are not considered hardships. They are nothing more than cultivation in the world of mortals." Fa Hai kept his heart, and did not feel strange because he saw the Buddha.

In the past, he was worried that his identity would be discovered by the Buddha, but he has been very calm along the way.

Regardless of what happened in the past, today's Tripitaka and Fahai are just one.

Fa Hai could also realize that his heart of compassion was actually given by Master Sanzang. Otherwise, what kind of image he would have after walking to Lingshan, I'm afraid it's still unclear.

"All living beings are hard, and the world of mortals practice." The Buddha's voice was magnificent and bright, and it spread throughout the entire Lingshan for a while. After repeating these four words, he said again: "Everyone in the world says that I am a Buddhist. There are often troubled times to close the mountain. I don’t know what you think of the act of accumulating money?”

This question was not addressed to Master Tripitaka, but to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Mahavira Hall.

Not to mention the Daxiong Palace, but the Daleiyin Temple and the entire Lingshan Mountain were completely silent at this moment, very quiet.

The monks knew that today would not be peaceful. After all, the deeds of Dharma Master Sanzang along the way are not a secret. Even the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were mentally prepared to argue with this man and fail.

But I didn't expect that before the topic of learning scriptures was discussed, the Buddha would attack first.

The ancient Buddha who burned the lamp looked down and said nothing. Although Maitreya Buddha was still smiling, he looked a bit bitter at the moment. Well, he was pleasing to the eye, and he also saw the acquired human race hanging on Wukong's waist. bag.
Medicine Master Buddha clasped his hands together and said, "Buddhism is a pure land. Troubled times can protect the common people, and prosperous times can be peaceful. As for the theory of closing mountains and accumulating wealth, most of them are people who deceive the world and steal their names. They act in the name of Buddha, so that they deceive the world."

After Medicine Master Buddha finished speaking, he looked at Sanzang and said with a smile: "Sanzang must have seen and heard all the way west, I wonder if what the poor monk said is true?"

Fahai clasped his hands together and said, "What Medicine Master Buddha said makes sense."

It's just reasonable.

Everyone can naturally hear it.

The two sides went so far, but did not delve into it. After all, along the way, those Buddhist temples that did nothing, or those that occupied the magpie's nest, were basically "swept away" by their masters and apprentices.

As for other... Whether it's rectification or punishment, that's another story.

Originally, the Buddha wanted to say something that "belittled" the Eastern land, such as what is rich in wealth and dense in population, greedy and murderous, prostitution and deceitful, deceitful and deceitful; light and so on.

But it's hard to say these words now. After all, his Xizhou is also a piece of chicken feathers, so don't look down on anyone.

Only after the discussion between the Tripitaka and the Medicine Buddha did the Buddha speak: "Back then, the Bodhisattva went east to the Tang Dynasty and chose you as a sutra taker. Now that I have finally arrived at Lingshan, I have the Tripitaka, which can overcome suffering and explain disasters."

"The so-called Tripitaka: There is a collection of Dharma, which talks about the sky; there is a collection of treatises, which talks about the earth; there is a collection of scriptures, which saves ghosts. There are 35 volumes in total, with 140 and [-] volumes. The astronomy, geography, characters, birds and beasts, flowers and trees, utensils, and human affairs of the four major continents of the world are all recorded."

"Anuo and Jiaye, you two lead his four people to the bottom of Zhenlou, and treat him with fast food first. After fasting, open the treasure pavilion, and inspect a few of the 35 volumes of my Tripitaka. Roll with him and teach him to pass on the Eastern Land."

Then two venerables stepped forward to lead their master and apprentice out of the hall.

The Great Sage was in a hurry, and thought: This is wrong!
How did you get the scriptures so smoothly?
He originally thought that when the master came to learn the scriptures, he would definitely suffer a lot. He was even prepared to chant the scriptures in the hall, but he didn't expect the Buddha to send them away like this.

However, Fa Hai took a step forward, passed the two venerables, and said to the Buddha, "My Buddha is merciful. I have many doubts in my heart. Now I am going to Deling Mountain, and I am going to ask the Buddha for advice."

"Tripitaka." The Buddha said slowly, "Be safe and don't be impatient, and take the scriptures first, send the scriptures to the Tang Dynasty, and then return to Lingshan. At that time, there will be Buddhas in my temple and your masters and disciples On legal debate."

The Great Sage asked curiously after hearing this: "Buddha, why bother? Why do you want us to make this extra trip?"

Only the Bodhisattva knows why the Buddha made such an unnecessary move. It was because he was afraid that after the debate on the Tripitaka was over, he would not come to Lingshan again if he returned to the Tang Dynasty with the scriptures.

If Sanzang can't come to Lingshan, how can he pass on the position of Buddha to him?

There is another worry. If there is a real disturbance, this Lingshan does not know what kind of disturbance will arise. If something goes wrong, the scriptures cannot be sent back to the Tang Dynasty by their masters and apprentices. It has become the laughing stock of the Three Realms, and there will be no mention of the great prosperity of the West in the future.

This method was also discussed in private by Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Buddha.

As for whether they will toss their master and apprentice, there is no need to worry about it. After all, when they return to Datang and then to Lingshan, they don't have to walk back step by step.
