Chapter 82 Two Steamed Buns
"Isn't the national teacher really a monk? There's no reason!" Chen Xuanzang was very hungry now, he hadn't eaten for a few days, and his stomach was sticking to his back.

In fact, people in Chang'an City at this time are unlikely to be hungry: they just fought a protracted battle with the grasshopper spirits, and now the city is full of big locusts, just get a few and eat them. starve.Don't say that people in this period don't eat locusts. In fact, Li Shimin is asking a chef to cook locust essence at this time, and he is going to take the lead in eating this thing!
However, Chen Xuanzang is a monk, and he is governed by clear rules and regulations, so he can't eat meat at all.

As a result, when the court brought people to eat locusts, he starved.

"Son, do you know why I kicked you out?" Ji Ming walked over and said when Chen Xuanzang was so hungry that he was about to faint.Chen Xuanzang was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked doubtfully, "Isn't it because I mistook you for a monk and made you angry?"

When the locust spirit appeared, he also saw it from a distance, but he was helpless.

The appearance of the national teacher made his eyes brighten.Like many people, he also worshiped this fairy-like figure, so he went to visit the mansion for alms.But because he is also an exorcist, apart from admiration, he is also a little bit jealous, so when he visited, he said the words "we can't enjoy the glory and wealth".

In fact, that's exactly what he wants now.

"This is a meat bun, do you want to eat it?" Ji Ming took out the meat bun and asked.

When Chen Xuanzang heard the words, he covered his growling stomach, shook his head and said, "I don't want to."

"That's why I kicked you out." Ji Ming smiled slightly, and said flickeringly: "You obviously want to eat, but you say you don't want to eat it. Did you learn lies when you joined Mahayana Buddhism? You are obviously going to go to me It’s not me, but my glory and wealth, why should I give alms to you?”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Xuanzang was immediately stunned on the spot, unable to say anything for a long time.

"There are two buns here, one meat and one vegetarian, you can only eat one of them, if you eat both, your master will starve to death." Ji Ming put the two buns in Chen Xuanzang's hands, smiling Said: "Meat buns are delicious and nutritious. If you eat them, you can live for seven days. Vegetarian buns are unpalatable and have no nutrition. If you eat them, you can only live for three days."

At this point, he paused, and then said: "You decide which one to eat, don't hesitate for too long, or you won't be able to eat the buns."

In fact, if the choice is not made earlier, Shi Zhai's people may arrive.

As the key to the entire Westward Journey, Buddhism will not let him starve to death.

"Master never abstained from alcohol and meat, so leave the meat bun that can live for seven days to him!" Chen Xuanzang said, biting directly on the vegetarian bun.This steamed stuffed bun tastes terrible, I don't know what is wrapped in it, but there is always a smell of medicine.

After eating, the stomach is hot, and there is a stream of air flowing through the whole body. Wherever it flows, it becomes very comfortable.

"Very good, you at this moment are full of truth, kindness and beauty!" Ji Ming said with a smile.

Then he dodged and disappeared.

In situ, a copy of "The Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" was placed there, and the hardcover cover shone with dazzling light.

"What's going on here?" Chen Xuanzang stared, forgetting to eat the buns for a moment.Then he ate the buns and held the scriptures, and ran towards the alley where his master lived, and shouted at the same time: "Master, master, the Buddha has appeared, and he gave me a This is the "Sutra of the Great Sun Tathagata."

Hearing this, the old monk who was eating locusts was startled, and ended up coughing with his throat stuck.

"Master, it is wrong for you to do this. Locusts are also life, so they cannot be eaten." Chen Xuanzang said.Then he blushed and said with some embarrassment: "I brought you back a meat bun. You let those locusts go. If you want to eat it, you can eat the meat bun!"

The old monk ignored him, and directly grabbed the "Da Ri Tathagata Sutra".

"Tathagata God's Palm?" After reading it, the old monk said in astonishment, "You still sell it for two copper coins?"

"Master, I don't want to learn the 'Exorcism Canon' anymore, I want to learn the 'Dari Tathagata Sutra'!" Chen Xuanzang said seriously.Immediately, the old monk was speechless, and thought to himself: Could it be that what I taught you is the real "Da Ri Tathagata Sutra", should I tell you this too?

"This is just a comic book, something that children read, you can't practice it." The old monk said earnestly.

Chen Xuanzang lowered his head and said, "I know, I'm so stupid, I can't even learn "Three Hundred Children's Songs"."

"The "Three Hundred Songs for Children" has truly infinite power. If you can comprehend it, you can learn the "Dari Tathagata Sutra" without studying it." The old monk said, and put the secret book back in Chen Xuanzang's hands.Then he fooled around again, and after asking the cause and effect clearly, he stopped entangled in this question.

In fact, a book of mortal martial arts cannot attract the attention of the old monk at all.

If it wasn't for the name "Dari Tathagata Sutra", he wouldn't bother to take a look at it.

"Hehe, I added ingredients to the steamed stuffed bun. If there are no accidents, Chen Xuanzang will learn my 'Da Zhou Tian Shen Gong' in his sleep." On the other side, in the National Teacher's Mansion, Ji Ming told Xiao Luo said: "For others, it is just a simple mortal martial art, but for him, it is the powerful 'Tathagata Palm'."

"But what's the use of that?" Xiaoluo asked suspiciously.

"It's useless for the time being, but what if we can crack the secret of "Three Hundred Children's Songs" and pass it on to Chen Xuanzang secretly?" Ji Ming smiled slightly and said: "The focus of the dispute over luck is often on the details. , don't forget, after the 'Journey to the West', Patriarch Bodhi's gains are no less than what came here!"

Luck can also be said to be belief and incense, which are related to the rise and fall of a religion.

The entire Journey to the West is a battlefield, Buddha and Taoism, casual cultivators and sects, gods and Buddhas of the heavens and underground monsters, each party has benefited from it.Among them, the most beneficial ones are not necessarily the Buddhas - Sun Wukong's 72 earth evil transformations and Zhu Bajie's Tiangang 36 transformations are all from Bodhi Patriarch.

And not only them, but even the mentors of Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan point directly to Patriarch Bodhi.

Tathagata didn't know his existence, but he intercepted a lot of luck, this is called Gao Ming!
"The three-star cave in the oblique moon, and the square inch mountain in Lingtai. It's a pity that this world is not a complete journey to the west, otherwise I would have to learn from a teacher." When mentioning the Bodhi ancestor, Xiao Luo immediately said.

"Master, Your Majesty has invited you to the 'Locust Banquet'." An old eunuch said as he entered the door.Hearing this, Ji Ming smiled, turned to Xiao Luo and said: "As long as he is called Li Shimin, he will not be willing to let Buddhism ride on his head, we might as well join him in an attempt to 'usurp Buddha', even if it fails, The experience of this world will also help us invade the world of Journey to the West in the future!"
