Chapter 510: Shed off the old body and find the true Tathagata again

Seeing this scene, Sanzang also knew that among the three, only Wukong had a chance to become a Buddha. This was the last time to take the exam. Even if you didn't have much merit before, if you are willing to go through the Lingyun Ferry here, maybe you can become a Buddha.

At this time, I suddenly saw someone coming with a boat from below.Wukong saw the shipwreck at a glance, and he knew the bottomless boat. The boatman was guiding the Buddha, also known as Nanwu Baozhu Guangwang Buddha.If you see through it, don't tell it, just call the boatman.

Immediately reaching the shore, Sanzang and his disciples boarded the boat one after another.The Buddha pushed it open with gentle force, only to see a dead body floating up and down. Seeing this scene, the three disciples shouted to Sanzang in unison: "It's you, it's you!"

Take off the old body and return to the true Tathagata.

The golden cicada finally transformed into a cicada.Although the old body has shed its old body at this time, the body is still tender and the wings are not yet dry, so it has to continue crawling on the tree trunk. When the body hardens and the wings take shape, it can fly. (Cicada is an insect that undergoes metamorphosis. It is golden yellow when it first sheds its shell. At this time, its wings have not yet spread out and are curled up like a small ball. After a period of time, the head begins to turn black and the wings gradually harden, allowing it to fly. , and finally turns completely black and turns into the familiar cicada.)
After the four people landed, they were disappointed with the spiritual mountain in front of them.There are no fairy beasts flying around, but flowers and plants can be seen swaying slightly, which is very immature.Besides, the Rui Palace Pearl Tower and the Treasure Pavilion and Pearl Tower are all in ruins.

All the Upasakas, Upasikas, monks, and nuns kept a distance from these buildings. Occasionally there were flashes of thunder on the ruins, not the thunder of the Great Thunder Sound Temple, but the thunder of the heavenly calamity.

Walking outside the mountain gate of Daleiyin Temple, it is said that it is a mountain gate, but only the outline of a gate can be seen.After seeing Tripitaka, the Four Great Vajras hurriedly went to report it.When the Tathagata heard that Tripitaka had arrived, he summoned the eight Bodhisattvas, the Four Vajras, five hundred Aro, three thousand enlightenments, eleven great zodiac signs, and eighteen Jialan, arranged in two rows, and passed the golden edict to summon Tripitaka into the hall.

After meeting the Tathagata, the basic ritual of worshiping is still necessary.

It's just that Tathagata has not spoken and has no spiritual thoughts, which makes the master and disciples very confused.

In the end, Guanyin Bodhisattva came out to explain everything.After hearing everything, Sanzang recited the Buddha's name and said, "It's good."

Then he said to the Tathagata: "World Honored One, along the way, I saw that the people of Xiniu Hezhou do not know how high the sky is, how narrow the land is, how dense the people are, how much they are greedy, how much they kill, how much they are lustful, how much they lie, how much they deceive and how much they deceive. Although they pay homage to the Buddha, they do not do good deeds. Destiny, disrespect for the three lights, disrespect for the five grains; unloyalty, unfilial piety, unrighteousness, unbenevolence, hiding one's mind from oneself, fighting with big scales and small scales, killing lives and animals; and countless demons are at work. The Buddha does not do good things for wealth, and those who do not get wealth, The suffering in this world is like the clouds of the past.”

"My Buddha has allowed me to come and get the Tripitaka Sutra. Looking at it now, people in the west are yearning to live in my eastern land, so I can't take this Tripitaka Sutra."

"The disciple came not to take the Tripitaka Sutra from the mouth of the World-Honored One, but the Tripitaka Sutra that the disciple made in his previous life. He talked about heaven and earth to save ghosts. The former Buddha returned this sutra to the disciple, so that I can take it back to the people of the Tang Dynasty and see if it is It can save the suffering of the common people.”

Tathagata just nodded and assigned Anuo and Jiaye to lead the way.

After leading Sanzang to read the names of the scriptures, Anuo and Gaye began to make things difficult for Sanzang. After all, what Sanzang said just now was very harsh, and there were some unspoken rules for preaching scriptures. So they said to Sanzang: "The holy monk Dongtu is here, there are some What are you sending us? Take it out quickly so that we can preach the scriptures to you."

After hearing this, Sanzang turned around to look for Wukong.A'nuo and Jiaye thought that Sanzang had asked Wukong to get the good things, and they looked very proud, but such expressions were very presumptuous.

Then they saw Wukong coming over with the alms bowl given by Emperor Tang. He thought it was given to them, but he never thought that Wukong gave the alms bowl to Bajie, took out the golden cudgel and hit Anuo and Jiaye directly on their bald heads. .

Suddenly yellow and white things splashed everywhere.

At this time Sanzang came over and told Wukong: "Take these two corpses and go to meet Tathagata."

This scared Monk Bajie so much that he almost vomited out the immortal food he had just eaten.

The four masters and disciples came to the Main Hall again and saw the Tathagata. The first thing Sanzang said was: "World Honored One, this is too much."

Then he asked Wukong to drag the bodies of Anuo and Jiaye forward, and continued: "Look at these two, they actually demanded bribes in the Great Thunder Sound Temple. Is there any king's law? Is there any law?"

After saying that, he asked Wukong to drag the two corpses away, and ordered: "Chop them into meat and paste, and clean up the filth up and down the Lingshan Mountain. There are so many rats from Lingshan Mountain on the road, so don't encounter them again when you go back."

Then he said to the Tathagata: "World Honored One, those who ruin the reputation of my Buddhism will be sent to the endless hell and never be reincarnated forever. You don't have to worry about this matter. I am very familiar with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the underworld. I will let him Wukong will deal with it.”

In the Mahavira Hall, all the Buddhas were frightened by Tripitaka's words.

What’s even more frightening is that from beginning to end, Tathagata didn’t say anything.

After finishing here, Sanzang returned to the Sutra Pavilion and began to select the sutras himself.

"The Nirvana Sutra, one volume, has 740 eight volumes; the Bodhisattva Sutra, one volume, has 21 volumes; the Void Tibetan Sutra, one volume, has 110 volumes; the First Surangama Sutra, one volume, has 140 volumes; the En The Great Collection of Meanings, one volume, fifty volumes; The Decision Sutra, one volume, 45 volumes; The Treasure Sutra, one volume, 910 volumes; The Huayan Sutra, one volume, five hundred volumes; The Li Zhenru Sutra, one volume. "The Great Prajna Sutra", one volume, 110 volumes; "The Great Light Sutra" one volume, 170 volumes; "The Unknown Sutra" one volume, 270 volumes; "Vimalakirti Sutra" one volume, 120 volumes; "Three Commentary Sutra", one volume, 32 volumes; "Diamond Sutra", one volume, one hundred volumes; "Dharma Sutra" one volume, 110 volumes; "Buddha's Prayer Sutra" one volume, 130 volumes; The Five Dragon Sutra, one volume, 350 volumes; The Bodhisattva Sutra, one volume, 220 six volumes; The Great Collection of Sutras, one volume, 130 volumes; The Moja Sutra, one volume, 150 volumes; The Lotus Sutra one volume "Yoga Sutra", one volume, 950 volumes; "Baochang Sutra", one volume, 280 volumes; "Western Heaven Sutra", one volume, 850 volumes; "Sangha Sutra", one volume, 220 seven volumes ; "Miscellaneous Sutras of the Buddha Country", one volume, [-] volumes; "The Sutra of Awakening of Faith," one volume, [-] volumes; "The Great Wisdom Sutra", one volume, [-] volumes; "The Precious Power Sutra", one volume, One thousand, [-] volumes; one volume of "Benge Jing", [-] volumes; one volume of "Zhenglv Wen Jing", [-] volumes; one volume of "Great Peacock Sutra", [-] volumes; one volume of "Wei Shi Lun Sutra", one hundred Volume; "Ju She Lun Jing" one volume, [-] volumes."

After the selection, Wukong also came back and said to Sanzang: "Master, when did this Lingshan Mountain become a mountain of rats? When I went there, I saw swarms of rats. In time, they will definitely harm the people. There are also some poisonous insects, each of which is extraordinary. ." After Sanzang sorted out the scriptures, he explained: "Buddhists have always liked to ask for money for sesame oil. They spend a lot of sesame oil every day. If they are not engaged in production, they will have enough rice and flour. What's more, they even use new grains instead of old grains, and they don't give it to the common people. Therefore, there are swarms of rats; legend has it that in ancient times, this place was not a holy land for Buddhism, but the residence of the Demonic Ancestor. After the Demonic Ancestor was defeated, the Buddhists took this place as their own and built it with the secret books and treasures left by the Demonic Ancestor. The original demonic power The magic book, after revision and revision, became the current Buddhist scripture. The demon ancestor liked to raise poisonous insects, and thousands of poisonous insects produced a golden poison. Buddhism also kept this as a means. At the same time, it also intended for Buddhist disciples to practice the art of resisting poisonous poisons. , also known as the golden body..."

Sanzang did not continue to explain the rest. Wukong already understood the true meaning and deliberately teased: "Master, so to speak, you are still the best one I trained in the beginning."

Sanzang smiled and said, "That's true. My teacher is indeed the one best trained by the Buddha. Things will turn to the extreme. But I am not very obedient, so I have to be reincarnated. When will I be obedient, when will I come back? I once thought that in the face of great changes in the world, all my reincarnations would be in vain."

After counting the scriptures, we came to the Mahavira Hall again.

At this time, the hall was still silent, and Sanzang's one-man show continued: "World Honored One, I have been here to learn Buddhist scriptures for 14 years, and in a few days it will be Cangshu, so please resign and go back to your hometown, and finish Cangshu."

At this time Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said: "Sanzang, you have traveled a hundred and eight thousand miles and encountered countless tribulations. I just counted them in detail, and found that there are eighty tribulations in total, which is still one tribulation short of the ninety-nine times when you will return to your true state."

Hearing this, Sanzang said, "My disciple knows where this difficulty lies."

The Bodhisattva nodded and said it was very good, so he arranged for the Eight Great Vajras to escort Sanzang back to the Tang Dynasty.

In the end, he fell into the water in the Tongtian River and tore the last page of the scripture while drying it.

It's just the old turtle in Tongtian River. Sanzang's comment after landing was: "Shanggu has a sharp eyesight. When will he shed his shell?"

As for Wukong, he just laughed, took Sanzang's arm and said: "Master, without the protection of immortals and the guidance of sages, such monsters in the river will just live here and carefree in this life. Think of me, grandson, and enjoy the innocence for three to five hundred years." , only then do you know the important matters of life and death; after ten years of traveling in the world, looking through the world, ten years of seeking truth and asking questions; the feeling of it is naturally indescribable. How can an old turtle like this, who is not familiar with worldly things, be allowed to shed his shell and transform into another? .”

Then, under the protection of the Eight Great Vajras, he returned to Chang'an.

It happened that Emperor Tang came to Wangjing Tower to receive Buddhist scriptures, so he and Emperor Tang returned to the trend.

In the court hall, Emperor Tang expressed condolences to Sanzang for his difficult journey, listened to Sanzang give a brief report, and finally introduced the three disciples.

The previous ones are all foreshadowing, and finally Sanzang presented the customs clearance document.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty laughed loudly when he saw the date on it. The customs clearance document was given on the third day of September in the 13th year of Zhenguan, which was now the 27th year of Zhenguan. Then he read the seal on it.After a brief look at it, Sanzang was asked to put it away.

After some commendations, after the court meeting dispersed, Emperor Tang met with Tripitaka in private.

"Brother Yu, do you still remember the way you went?"

"The poor monk will naturally remember."

"So good."

……

The next day, the Emperor of Tang arranged for Tripitaka to start preaching scriptures.Tripitaka recited sutras at Yanta Temple, and the Emperor of Tang sent people to make copies.

Just as he was about to recite the poem, the Eight Great Vajras appeared in mid-air and told Sanzang to return to the west.

The next moment, countless magic weapons flew from Chang'an City.

"Which dog is barking here!"

In an instant, countless cultivators came with weapons. When they saw it was Buddhist Vajra, they started fighting without any courtesy.
