Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 459 Don't bring up such immoral things again; I'd rather kill myself

have to say.

Because of the image of the Great God Pangu, all races in the Three Realms will regard transformation as a must-achieve goal on the road of cultivation.

Among the Three Realms, the only group that does not need to change form is humans.

It can be said to be unique.

While the human race seems to have a short lifespan, and there are many ordinary people, but those who are truly gifted can give full play to the absolute advantages of this "innate Taoism" on the road of practice. You can go to various hundreds of years of practice in the Three Realms.

And those kings and civil officials in the ancient times were even more unreasonable. They forcibly suppressed the leaders of various clans who had practiced for thousands of years, and made the clans stand absolutely in the Three Realms.

This is also one of the reasons why the Heavenly Dao restrained the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in the Huoyun Cave. Who knows how exaggerated their cultivation will be after thousands of years?
If it is said that their cultivation will stagnate because of this, anyone who has some knowledge will not believe it, not to mention that there are heroes of the human race gathered in the Huoyun Cave. Break the shackles of Huoyun Cave so that you can return to the Three Realms.

Previously, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and Dayu appeared successively, and in the eyes of the great powers of the Three Realms, it was a sign.

The old man in front of him wants to cultivate a human body, Fa Hai can see the yearning and urgency in his eyes, but the old man's own blood is strong, even if he is the water god Hebo at this time, he can't help it. It is absolutely difficult to shed the tortoise shell behind him like this.

What's more, after hearing what Xiaobailong said just now, Fa Hai thought about it carefully again, it seems that apart from the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, he has never heard of any other turtle clan in the Three Realms who have shed their turtle shells and truly cultivated into human bodies.

As for the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, what kind of state did she reach before she could take shape?

This may be because God gave the turtles the longest lifespan, but made it the most difficult for them to transform themselves.

Maybe Lao Yuan himself realized what he was talking about, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly, with a very melancholy expression on his face: "What can I do, what can I do?"

Xiao Bailong comforted him and said: "Since you can't force it, why don't you let nature take its course? Even if you don't practice, you can have thousands of years of life, and put it in the four seas. You have only practiced for more than 1000 years. The Turtle Clan, I am afraid they are still young, but there is no need to sigh."

"Thank you, Third Prince, for enlightening me." Old Yuan bowed to Xiao Bailong and said, "I can save it."

He doesn't call himself old anymore.

The Great Sage was not as polite as Xiao Bailong, and said bluntly to the old man: "My grandson is also over 1000 years old, but he has never regarded himself as a late old man like you, who is not old and has a weak heart. Can it be cultivated to a positive result?"

Lao Yuan's expression froze immediately, and he hurriedly bowed to the Great Sage a few times, "The Great Sage made a point."

That being said, it is actually hard to say whether this old turtle still has the heart. Both the master and the apprentice can tell that with his level, if there is no other opportunity, I am afraid that it is really true for him to cultivate into a human body. Nothing is possible.

But they wouldn't say this in person to attack the old turtle's lack of self-confidence. Fa Hai and Wu Jing also comforted him, and the matter came to an end for the time being.

It is rare for Master Sanzang to stop at Chenjiazhuang, and everyone is old acquaintances. After the grown-up Chen Guanbao and Yicheng Jin bowed to the Great Sage and Bajie again, the Great Sage and Bajie simply took their siblings together. under the door.

Brother Chen Qing originally said to let the two of them become monks, but the great sage refused: "You are so ignorant, if Guan Bao becomes a monk, wouldn't your family lose its incense? It would also damage the merit of my grandson. Don't bring up such immoral things again."

The Great Sage and Bajie only taught them some methods of practice and the ability to protect Zhuangzi.

After all, there are many monsters in Xizhou, although their master and apprentice have cleared them all along the way, but the monsters are absolutely difficult to get rid of, just like the weeds in the suburbs, the wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

Right now there is such a seemingly stable and peaceful window period, it is because the remaining prestige of their master and apprentice is still there, and the monsters know how powerful they are, so they dare not come over for the time being.

But after this period of time passes, I am afraid it will not take too long, it will only take 30 to [-] years. If the status quo is not maintained carefully, the fairies will flood the countryside and mountains again sooner or later.

You can't pin your hopes on these new fairies not daring to hurt people, you still need to master some power to deal with these crises.

Even if the monsters don't come, it's great to be able to guard against mountain thieves.

Everyone in Chenjiazhuang had already asked Venerable Sanzang about the stories of their master and apprentice when they came here before, so naturally they wanted to ask them what kind of adventures they had after crossing the Tongtian River.

This matter has to be told by Xiaobailong. He seems to have a lot of talent in this area. The bright moon and the cool breeze of the Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain. He still wants to know about "the fire in the Guanyin Temple" and "the demons in the Black Wind Cave". The follow-up of stories such as "Wanku Mountain in Distress" and "Gao Laozhuang" and "Liusha River".

It was also at that time that Xiao Bailong became playful, and the half-telling of the story always disturbed Qingfengmingyue's Daoist heart, so he secretly went down the mountain again and again, and went east to look for the whereabouts of their master and apprentice when they passed by.

It is obvious that Xiao Bailong is much calmer now, if he does those unreliable things again, it will damage his reputation as the White Dragon Bodhisattva.

Xiao Bailong didn't talk for long, picked out a few interesting things, and what he had seen and heard on the Lingshan Mountain, and told everyone, then stopped there.

Wujing, on the other hand, thought for a while and left a volume of "Little Biography of Sanzang's Journey to the West" in Chenjiazhuang, and said with a smile: "These are some interesting things that my master and apprentice encountered during their journey westward, so we can leave them in the village."

Fa Hai has no opinion on this either.

He has also read this biography, and the records are mostly anecdotes and strange events from various places, but there are no powerful monsters included. It can be read as a miscellaneous book, which can also relieve boredom.

However, everyone in Chenjiazhuang is still very grateful, and Chen Qing took the scroll very solemnly, and expressed his respect to the master and apprentice: "In addition to converting the Inspiration King Temple into a Bodhisattva Temple, we are still in Zhuangzi. A courtyard was built, named the Jisheng Temple, dedicated to serving the mage and several elders. This book should also be enshrined in the temple."

"It doesn't have to be that way."

The master and apprentice couldn't laugh or cry when they heard the words, but several times of persuasion were ineffective, so they finally gave up.

Chen Qing invited the gentleman from Zhuangzhong School, and asked him to copy the copy by himself.
The master copied the book, and Chen Qing invited the master and the disciples to the Jiusheng Temple, but this temple enshrines their master and disciples, so there is no need to burn incense, and there is no need to worship the Buddha, just look at it.

But he said that the temple was built with care——

The vermilion partition is exquisite with seven treasures.A few young cypresses are still being watered, and several dry pine trees have not formed clusters.

The site selection is also a place of transcendent feng shui: the flowing water faces the front, and the sky is full of waves;

Fa Hai opened an altar in the temple, taught a volume of "Bao Chang Jing", and left the scriptures behind.

Everyone in Chenjiazhuang pays their respects again.

This is the predestined relationship between Chenjiazhuang and Sanzang's master and apprentice, but the ruler of Jisai Kingdom didn't even get to meet Sanzang's master. The gap is very obvious.

Everyone looked at the five statues, they were lifelike and almost normal in appearance. After some inquiring, they realized that they were made by master craftsmen invited from the capital.

Chen Qing said with a smile: "The Holy Buddha doesn't know, since the establishment of this temple, it has matured every year, and it has been prosperous every year, but it is the blessing of the Holy Buddha."

"This statement is biased." Fa Hai shook his head, "This is what the weather should have done. It has nothing to do with the poor monk. How can you be greedy for merit?"

The old turtle said aside: "The words of the holy monk are wrong. If the holy monk and his disciples had not surrendered to the king of inspiration, the little god would not be able to regain control of the water mansion, and the heavenly court gave me the right to send a little water, so this place has good weather. How is this not the work of a holy monk?"

The Great Sage laughed and said, "Since that's the case, I have to trouble you, the water god of the Tongtian River, to ensure that the family in this village, the offspring will multiply, the six animals will live in peace, and the weather will be smooth and rainy every year, and the rain will be smooth every year."

"This is natural." Lao Yuan immediately said seriously: "This is the responsibility of the little god!"

Stayed in Chenjiazhuang for a few days, after the Great Sage and Eight Rings ordered Chen Guanbao and Yicheng Jin to practice, the master and apprentice left.

Of course, during the period, Fahai also pointed out the old turtle's cultivation method, but he also made the old turtle feel grateful for a while.

Traveling to the capital of Chechi Kingdom, the originally lazy king, after the three national teachers and Mr. Ziyu left successively, and after the old Taishi died of illness, he only had to go to battle in person, and "as a last resort" became a diligent king. Jun.

Fortunately, he is not a stupid king, and he also has the virtues of the queen and empress, and the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are parallel in the Chechi Kingdom, and Chechi, Wuji and Baoxiang are allied with each other, and they have intersected with the Tang Dynasty
Today's Che Chiguo is not what it used to be.

"Holy monk!"

Now everyone knows that Master Sanzang does not like others to call him "Holy Buddha", so he resumed the old name, or called Master Sanzang "Holy Monk" or "Master".

It should be said that the lord of the Che Chi Kingdom is also a maverick, and he did not entertain Master Sanzang in the imperial garden of the palace, but invited Master Sanzang and his party to meet in the Sanqing Temple.

After entering the temple, people realized that around the Sanqing Temple, there are two other temples being built, one is a Buddhist temple and the other is a Confucian hall.

"Back then, the widows said that we should just use the Three Purities." Che Chi, the lord of the country, was also very bold, talking to Sanzang's master and apprentice about the things he almost did back then, "The old man of the Taiqing in the middle is like Let’s keep it, remove the left and right statues of Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun, or directly rebuild them into statues of Shakyamuni Buddha and Master.”

Speaking of which, the expressions of the five masters and apprentices are already very exciting. I have to say that I really have to admire the bold imagination of the king.

"Then who is it that made the king dispel this idea?" Bajie asked curiously.

The king replied: "Of course it is Mr. Ziyu."

This is not surprising to everyone.

"Well," the Lord Che Chi said again: "The Buddhist temple is still under construction, and the Buddha statue has not yet been erected. The Sanzang master I heard before is revered as the Buddhist 'Zheng Omniscient'. Why don't we set it up in the main hall of the Buddhist temple here? The Tathagata Buddha has come, how about setting up the Sanzang Dharma Master?"

The five masters and apprentices: .
In fact, compared to the Tathagata Buddha who sits high in the Daleiyin Temple far away in Lingshan, for the Lord of Chechi Kingdom, it is really better to pay homage to Sanzang Master.

After all, those monks in the chaotic country back then, didn't they worship the "Tathagata Buddha"?
In the end, Master Sanzang personally "judged" their crimes.

They all worship Buddha, and since Master Sanzang was revered as the "right and omniscient" of Buddhism, it means that he is already a "Buddha". In terms of law, he should have the same status as Tathagata.

Seeing that Master Sanzang was silent, the Lord of the Chechi Kingdom quickly explained: "Holy monk, it is like this, whether it is Buddhism, Taoism or Confucianism, in fact, each has its own lineage, and there are many sects in it. In my small country of Chechi, I don’t dare to ask for the inheritance of the great religion. I would like to take a spoonful of the essence from the three religions. This Buddhism is already weak in our country. Since the branch of the Consciousness-Only Sect created by the monk is the Consciousness-Only Sect, can the Tathagata Buddha in Lingshan be replaced by the Holy Buddha?"

It's really hard to say.

Fa Hai thought for a while, and said, "My Wisdom-Only Sect does not erect Buddha statues."

"Huh?" The Lord of Che Chi Kingdom was stunned, a little confused.

"Buddha is not used to pray, it is a benchmark, leading the way for all living beings in the world." Speaking of this, Fa Hai's expression seemed a little helpless: "But all living beings in the world are ignorant, and their eyes are all blinded by the light of the Buddha. Attracted, but ignore those places illuminated by the Buddha's light."

Fa Hai did not refuse the establishment of a branch of the Consciousness-Wei Sect by Che Chiguo. If he wanted to keep the inheritance of the Consciousness-Wei Sect in this world, besides taking care of himself, the most important thing was to spread the teachings widely.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of the solid mass foundation he laid on his westward journey?

Their masters and apprentices did not stay long in Chechi Kingdom. The ruler of the country seemed to be "out of tune", but in fact he knew what he should do. Both Buddhism and Taoism were held high by him, while Confucianism was governed by him. The real weapon of the country.

What surprised their teachers and apprentices the most was that the ruler of the country was actually very assertive. Although he valued Confucianism, he did not take law lightly.

While building ethics, the legal system has not been left behind, and the two can be said to go hand in hand.

"Actually, it can be seen back then that the lord of the country seems to be indifferent to state affairs, but in fact he has a clear heart. Therefore, the ministers who underestimated him may have suffered a lot. .”

Wu Jing pondered for a moment, then followed the master's words and said, "It's quite like the King Zhuang of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period. If he doesn't sing, he will become a blockbuster."

"But I don't know where the three national teachers went to find their teachers." Compared with the king, the great sage still misses the three national teachers here, especially the maverick Yangli Daxian, he has a bit of a brain If it wasn't for the two elder brothers to take care of them, there might be some troubles.

But the Great Sage naturally didn't know that the most worrying Immortal Yang Li was appreciated by the Holy Mother of Wudang on Jinao Island. Daxian refused without hesitation, and said: "I will be a teacher for one day and a father for the rest of my life. Even if you are my uncle, you can't let me do such a thing of betraying my master. Otherwise, I would rather kill you head-on."

Then, he would hit his head to death in Biyou Palace.

Fortunately, the Holy Mother of Wudang stopped him in time and promised him that he would never mention the matter of letting him abandon his teacher and join another school, so he gave up.

But from then on, Immortal Yangli didn't look good when he saw Our Lady of Wudang, and even took a detour.

This made Ma Sui very helpless, but the Holy Mother of Wudang favored him even more. She didn't care at all about the impolite collision of Yangli Daxian, and even taught Ma Sui his own kendo practice, and asked Ma Sui to pass it on to Yang Li Daxian.

Ma Sui can only say that this kid is really a fool.
