Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 424 The lessons learned from Manjusri Bodhisattva; I will take over Lingshan

eight days.

To be honest, time is a bit tight.

After all, Fahai made a lot of promises along the way. Every time he went to a place, he said that he had learned from the scriptures when he left.

Miscalculation, if I knew this earlier, there would be less delay on the road.

The time spent on the road can actually be squeezed out now that I think about it.

It was the Great Sage who saw what Master was struggling with, and stepped forward and said, "Master, just sending the scriptures back to the Tang Dynasty is not considered a success. We have to come back to Lingshan to debate the scriptures. After some consummation, it will not be too late to fulfill the promise." .”

"good!"

That's all there is to it.

The Great Sage pointed to the human race bag at his waist, and said to Maitreya Buddha: "The Buddha from the East is magnanimous, let my grandson borrow this race bag for a few more days, and return it to you when I come to Lingshan again."

"Hehehehe——" Maitreya Buddha still had a smile on his face, as if he had never taken this matter to heart, he just said: "Although this bag is mine, it was stolen by that traitor Huangmei. If you took it from him, why should you care who the original owner of the bag is. The bag will be left at the Great Sage's place, and after that Huangmeier escapes from hardships, he will come to ask for it in person. Will he be able to ask for it at that time? It all depends on his ability and sincerity, and the poor monk will never ask."

Hey!
The great sage raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart: This Buddha from the east is really enlightened.

The world says that its big belly can accommodate, it is definitely not empty talk.

The Buddha also opened his mouth and said, "Tripitaka, is it enough to give you eight days to observe the scriptures?"

Fa Hai was not afraid at all, and said: "Let the Buddha wait and see."

If it is really an uncommon scripture, eight days is naturally not enough. But as far as he can, he has long been not sticking to the scriptures, and he does not even plan to mainly read the more than 5000 volumes of scriptures in these eight days.

First of all, he is familiar with most of these scriptures, even if there are some differences between what he knows and the original ones, the impact is not too great; moreover, in fact, the original scriptures without words are the ones that really fit him. mind.

There is nothing wrong with learning from others, but more importantly, it is to truly transform what you have learned into your own. Presumably this is one of the meanings of the scriptures without words.

Along the way, Fahai never slacked off.

Walking day by day is the conclusion of comprehension and practice at night.

In addition, he benefited a lot from debating scriptures with eminent monks from all walks of life in Tianzhu and viewing scriptures from various temples.

I originally wanted to go up to Lingshan to debate the scriptures with the Buddhas to achieve sublimation and transformation, but since there are still eight days to go, I am not in a hurry for this time.

These eight days should be considered as a common preparation time for both parties.

All the monks in Lingshan sent the holy monk back to the east.

Fa Hai led a few disciples without being pretentious, and immediately got up, soaring towards the east.

In the Daxiong Palace.

The Buddha sat on the lotus platform and asked the Bodhisattva: "It was originally planned that the monks and disciples of the Tang Dynasty would have to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one tribulations when they came to the west. Only when they saw their sincerity could they obtain the scriptures. Now that the journey to the west is about to end, I don't know if the tribulations have ever been completed? "

Guanyin Bodhisattva got up and bowed slightly to the Buddha, holding the jade bottle in one hand, and made a one-palm Buddha ceremony with the other, and said slowly: "The hardships that his master and disciples and the demons along the way have suffered are enough, and there is still more. .”

The monks in the main hall murmured for a while after hearing the words of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

It turns out that this calamity is calculated in this way, but it is normal when you think about it. There are only a few places that can really be regarded as disasters for their master and apprentice along the way. In this spiritual mountain, there are more than 81 true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. As for the remaining 30 or so, they will come out of the heaven.

Bodhisattva Lingji, who was hiding in the corner, had lingering fears for a moment: Fortunately, he didn't dare to make a move back then, otherwise wouldn't I be considered a troublemaker?

The Buddha pinched his fingers and said: "The first difficulty is to be demoted to a golden cicada, the second difficulty is to be killed several times after birth, the third difficulty is to be thrown into the river at the full moon, the fourth difficulty is to find relatives and avenge grievances, the fifth difficulty is to go out of the city to meet a tiger, and the fifth difficulty is to fall into a pit." From the sixth difficulty to the first six difficulties, it is still normal, and they are all his ordinary difficulties."

The Bodhisattva thought for a while and said, "The seventh difficulty is that the mountain demon was robbed?"

After the Buddha nodded slightly, he said again: "Afterwards, the monkey king left the mountain, and the gangsters surrendered themselves. As for the white dragon to join in."

Guanyin Bodhisattva followed the Buddha's words and said: "Although the little white dragon bowed with his head, he did not turn into a white horse for transportation. However, he himself suffered a disaster under the Eagle Sorrow Stream, which can be regarded as a disaster."

"Good." The Buddha nodded and said, "The tenth difficulty for Luojian White Dragon."

"Twelve difficulties for fox demons in thousands of caves, twelve difficulties for burning the courtyard, and thirteen difficulties for black bears to steal treasure." Bodhisattva paused at this point, but added two sentences in his heart: Bodhisattva listens to scriptures and adopts wolves. It is a poor monk. two catastrophes.

The Bodhisattva calmed down, and then said: "Extending the canopy, the yellow wind damages the eyes, and the quicksand blocks the road. Wrathful souls sinking into rivers and resentful spirits from the ninth generation can be counted as the five difficulties."

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas talk to each other, but the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas below are also thinking about it in their hearts.
Da Ri Tathagata interrupted at this moment: "Where is the poor monk? If the poor monk remembers correctly, when they passed Gaolaozhuang and went to Huangfengling, they also passed through Futu Mountain, where I was imprisoned."

The Bodhisattva thought for a while, and said: "The Buddha escaped from the predicament that day, and he also gave a piece of "Heart Sutra" to the Tripitaka, and pointed to the Buddha flame on the great sun. This is clearly an opportunity, how can it be considered a catastrophe? Oh, I almost forgot, poor When the monk met the Buddha for the first time, he asked the Buddha to stop, so that he could be transformed into a Buddha."

"Wait a minute!" Da Ri Tathagata immediately said: "Since this is an opportunity, the poor monk will be fine."

Dari Tathagata just finished speaking, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva followed suit and said: "The matter of Dari Buddha is not a difficult matter. When I waited for the lower realm to manifest that day, I wanted to try my ordinary heart, but it turned into an opportunity. I thought it would not be a problem. gone."

"No." Guanyin Bodhisattva disagreed: "That's Sanzang's ingenious solution, which won my mother's favor, and it is definitely a way to save the day. Trying the mind of Zen skillfully is naturally a difficult problem."

After hearing this, Puxian Bodhisattva stopped talking.

That day he just went through the cutscenes, and the whole process was a conversation between the old mother and Sanzang. The three of them were in the room, and the old mother had already been persuaded by Sanzang without even having a chance to appear.

Moreover, according to the characteristics of their masters and apprentices, Lao Mu gave each of them a chance. There are few people in the Three Realms who are not greedy for the opportunities that Lao Mu sent.

Even the few of them didn't get any benefits from Lao Mu.

When it comes to chance, the masters and apprentices only got the chance from Mrs. Li Shan, and then went to Wuzhuang Temple. Originally, there was also a dilemma arranged here, but the development of the matter has long been out of control.

The Wuzhuang Temple and his party are naturally not considered a catastrophe.

“这No.20难，当是八戒受白骨炼色心.21难佛焰焚奎宿；22难宝象国辨佛；23难平顶山除魔；24难压龙山降妖”说到这里，佛祖稍停了片刻，见众人皆沉默不语，便接着说道：“No.20五难救乌鸡国主；No.20六难青狮受俘；No.20七难文殊辩法；No.20八难菩萨入轮回。”

"Everyone, Manjusri Bodhisattva's lesson from the past should be taken as a warning." The Buddha's tone was quite serious.

The monks did not dare to neglect.

After counting here, the Buddha stopped counting, but said to Guanyin Bodhisattva, "Bodhisattva, please record the difficulties in the future into a book, and then distribute it, so that all the monks in Lingshan will have a share."

"Yes." The Bodhisattva nodded and accepted the matter.

It is also said that master and apprentice Hai drove the clouds to the east, overlooking the earth from a high altitude, and seeing the places he passed all the way westward, he was naturally moved.

Although Bajie has learned how to ride the clouds long ago, he basically followed his master step by step along the way. This kind of experience is rare, so he was a little excited for a while: "Master, look at the Bird Fairy Terrace. Today I see King Peacock Daming The Bodhisattva is in the Great Hall of Great Heroes, but he has never seen the Peacock Princess, nor does he know where she has traveled in the world."

"Master. Eight hundred miles of Thorn Ridge are also here. Look at the ostentatious red apricot. It's the apricot fairy who is greeting us!" Gu Zhigong is drinking tea and discussing scriptures."

"We're here, we're here, it's the Queen of Xiliang!" The Great Sage turned his sharp eyes, glanced around, and suddenly said in surprise, "Master, the Queen of Xiliang has abdicated!"

Hearing this, Fa Hai looked down subconsciously, and saw a little girl on the throne commanding all the ministers. The original queen was now dressed as the overlord.

Yuntou moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, even Jindou Mountain had passed, and he had already reached the Tongtian River.

When the master and apprentice looked down at the big river from the clouds, they saw sixteen pairs of children, boys and girls, building a water port with their lotus bodies, and they couldn't help thinking about the past.
call--

But at this moment, a black cloud floated past, blocking the way of everyone.

"Master, be careful!"

Immediately, the Great Sage threw off the golden cudgel and stood in front of the master. With the other hand, he pointed at the black cloud and shot a golden light——

At the same time, he let out a loud voice: "Where is the evildoer!"

Bajie, Wujing and Xiaobailong also called out their weapons one after another, ready to fight.

call out--

The golden light released from the fingertips of the Great Sage was directly swallowed by the black cloud, and then several black lights reflected from the black cloud, and the target was the cloud under the footsteps of their master and apprentice.

"Hey! How brave!"

The little white dragon swung his silver spear, knocking down all the black lights, and then the spear came out like a dragon, like a silver dragon reaching for its claws, trying to disperse the black cloud.

Jingle!

Unexpectedly, when his silver spear hit the black cloud hard, it was as hard as hitting the golden cudgel on the senior brother, and it was not like ordinary clouds.Then Heiyun transformed into an empty palm, and locked Xiao Bailong's silver spear, unexpectedly he couldn't break free for a while.

"Sanzang, is this how you treat guests?"

Just as Fa Hai was about to make a move, a deep voice came from within the black cloud.

"A person who hides his head and shows his tail is not a guest." Fa Hai said coldly: "Where did you come from, a monster, dare to block the way here?"

Swah——

The black cloud let go of the silver spear of the little white dragon, the little white dragon staggered and took a few steps back.

"Hahahaha—a demon?"

With a burst of wild laughter, the black cloud converged, but turned into a human form.

Fa Hai watched intently, and saw that the person in front of him was wearing a black monk's robe, but with long hair draped over his shoulders, his expression was haughty and imposing.

"You may as well take a closer look with your pair of magic eyes to see where the monster I am." This person is the great sage of the demon world.

Naturally, Fa Hai and the Great Sage were not polite to him. Even though Fa Hai was in motion, they watched for a long time. In the end, they couldn't see through each other's real body.

It can be seen that the opponent's method is powerful, or this human form is his real body.

"Are you Heavenless?!"

When Fa Hai was still in doubt, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and directly revealed the identity of the other party.

"good eyesight."

Wutian was always proud, even if Sanzang couldn't figure it out, he would give his name himself.

Seeing that the other party admitted, the master and apprentices also understood the other party's intentions.

After passing Lingyundu this morning, they had asked the Receiving Buddha about the "Wutian Mozu".

Now, the other party really appeared halfway, and the master and apprentice were not polite. At this moment, the Wutian Demon Ancestor was surrounded in the middle according to the five elements.

Just waiting for the master to give an order, they will attack them in groups.

When dealing with demons and the like, their masters and apprentices have never talked about martial arts, let alone facing the great sage of the demon world who is known as the ancestor of demons?
"Do it, why don't you do it?" Wutian put his hands behind his back, as if he didn't care about their master at all.

Naturally, Fa Hai would not do anything. Although the great sage of the demon world in front of him was full of demon energy, Fa Hai could clearly see that it was a thought of a Buddha and a demon. The other party could perfectly control these demon energy and would not be affected Influence.

Fa Hai himself can achieve this state.

Moreover, Fa Hai also knew that this great sage in the demon world was none other than the second disciple of the former Buddha Upharata, the Jinnara Bodhisattva who had served as the great protector of Lingshan.

So he knew exactly what that meant.Without the support of absolutely profound Buddhist teachings, he would have lost himself long ago after becoming a demon. Just based on what he saw, Fa Hai could be sure that the Buddha Dharma cultivation of this great sage in the demon world was by no means inferior to his own.

And the reason why a great bodhisattva who is carrying such dharma can fall into a demon is even more thought-provoking.

"Although I don't know how the great monk left the Demon Realm and entered the Three Realms, the little monk still dares to ask the big monk for advice. I don't know why the big monk came here?"

"Seize the scriptures."

Nothing short and concise.

"Please forgive me for not being able to follow orders." Fa Hai's stand was naturally firm.

"The Tathagata said that as long as I can beat you, I will let me take the scriptures, and when he passes away, I will take over Lingshan." Wutian's long hair covered half of his face, but Fahai saw through his eyes. Hair silk, seeing the corner of the other party's upturned mouth, "How is it? Do you feel betrayed by the Buddha?"

Fahai tightened the nine-ringed tin rod in his hand, and his expression became more serious: "There is another possibility, that is, the Buddha believes that the strength of the little monk is enough to protect the scriptures. I am afraid that the big monk will be disappointed."

"You are very confident." Wutian took a step forward.

Although it was only a step, after this step, the two of them were almost face to face.

"The scriptures are here, just come and grab them."

clap clap-

As soon as the words fell, the two fought more than ten times in an instant.

boom--

After a shock, the two of them retreated dozens of steps each.

The Great Sage wanted to help, but seeing Master's increasingly excited expression, he just stood aside to protect the Dharma, and did not act without authorization.
