Rebirth of the Great Wilderness, I shall mention it

Chapter 225 Arriving at Lingshan
"Disciples, it's dawn, it's time to set off!".Opening his sleepy eyes, Tang Sanzang stretched his arms, yawned big, woke up, and shouted to the disciples whose eyes were still closed.

"Well, the nerd woke up!".Hearing Tang Sanzang's voice, Monkey King opened his eyes, grabbed Zhu Bajie who was still dreaming by the ear and shouted.

"oops!".Zhu Bajie cried out in pain and woke up.

Rubbing his ears that suffered disaster for no reason, Zhu Bajie glared at Monkey King, and said resentfully: "Brother Monkey, don't you know that disturbing other people's dreams will be struck by lightning?"

"Hehe, my old grandson doesn't know about this. I only know that if you talk nonsense here again, your ears will be lost!".After finishing speaking, Monkey King made a gesture to grab Zhu Bajie's ear.

Seeing this, Zhu Bajie stood up with a whoosh and hid aside.

"hehe!".Seeing his two apprentices like this, Tang Sanzang also laughed happily.

After a while, the master and apprentice packed up everything.Sha Wujing led the white dragon horse and said to Tang Sanzang: "Master, please get on the horse!".

Nodding to Sha Wujing, Tang Sanzang stepped on his horse and continued towards the Lingshan Mountain under the guard of several apprentices.

Three days later, after Tang Sanzang and his disciples passed through a dense forest, they saw a high mountain from a distance. Extremely pleasing to the eye.

After crossing a mountain, a man suddenly appeared in front of Tang Sanzang and the others, a bald monk, although this monk was bald.But there are twelve neat ring scars on his head.It is also normal for a monk to have scars on his bald head. The strange thing is that the twelve scars on this monk's bald head are all shining with golden light from a distance.It seems that there are twelve rings of Buddha's light on the monk's head, which is very interesting.

"Master Xuanzang, Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Marshal of the Canopy, General of the Curtain, and the Poor Monk wish you complete merit and virtue, gratifying and congratulatory!".The monk smiled at Tang Sanzang and the others.

Seeing this monk, Tang Sanzang was still a little surprised, he wondered how could there be a catastrophe when he was approaching the foot of Lingshan Mountain!He felt that this golden-top monk was like the gods he met before, coming to tell him about the danger ahead.

But Tang Sanzang's inability to recognize him doesn't mean Sun Wukong's inability to recognize him. He and the monk in front of him can be said to be old acquaintances. When he got under the table, the golden-top monk stopped him before Tathagata Buddha came. At that time, he felt that the golden-top monk's cultivation was not very strong, but now that his strength has greatly increased, he realized that this The Jinding Daxian is an immortal in the middle stage of the Daluo Jinxian, who was basically unable to resist himself as the early stage of the Daluo Jinxian. It must have been watered at the beginning.

"Master, we have now arrived at the foot of the Lingshan Mountain in the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. This is the Immortal Jinding from Yuzhen Temple at the foot of the Lingshan Mountain. Presumably, he is here to welcome us."

Seeing that his master was still wondering why the monk who reported the letter hadn't spoken, Sun Wukong introduced it, so that his master would not be too embarrassed, and his group was about to reach the Western Paradise of Bliss. There is no free food, but also to make everyone happy, so that no one is unhappy.

"Elder Sanzang, Jinding is very polite. This morning, the magpie called on the branch, and Jinding felt that there was some happy event. After counting, it was true. Elder Sanzang finally came from the Eastern Land Tang Dynasty, which was thousands of miles away. After many difficulties and obstacles, I reached the boundary of the Western Lingshan Mountain, and I am about to complete this great merit, and bring the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures back to the middle land, and achieve the sage of all ages." The Golden Summit Immortal of Yuzhen Temple saw that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, had already introduced himself to This former great disciple of Tathagata Buddha --- Master Tripitaka of Jin Chanzi also seemed very happy and said with a smile.

"The Great Immortal has praised you. The little monk has only traveled all the way to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss with a devout heart towards Buddhism. This trip is for no other reason than to marry back the Mahayana scriptures and save us from the Eastern Land and the Great Tang Dynasty. The multitude of sentient beings cannot be called a universal sage.”Tang Sanzang said modestly.

"Jinding enshrined my Buddha Tathagata Dharma to wait for your arrival here. It has been a full 19 years now. Please come here with the poor monk."The Golden Top Immortal laughed.

"It's time for you to work!".Tang Sanzang said politely.After finishing speaking, he took a few apprentices and followed the Jinding Daxian.

When he came to a pond, the Immortal Jinding stopped and said: "Okay, everyone, please take a good rest in this pond and relieve the body that has been tense for decades. The poor monk will not Excuse me..." Smiling, the Golden Summit Immortal turned and left, leaving only a few sets of clothes behind.

Seeing the Great Immortal Jinding walk away, Zhu Bajie, who couldn't wait for a long time, let out a roar of joy, and was about to jump into the hot pool.

"I'll treat you as a lazy bastard. What do you want to do?".Grabbing Zhu Bajie by the ear, Monkey King scolded with a smile.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Brother Monkey, let go!".Zhu Bajie yelled in pain.

"Go, wait and go first."Let go of Zhu Bajie's ears, and wave him aside.Monkey King came to Tang Sanzang and said to Tang Sanzang: "Master, you come first."

Now, Zhu Bajie finally knew what mistake he made.He hurried to Tang Sanzang's side, and said with a flattering smile: "Yes, yes, yes, master, you should come first!".

Tang Sanzang smiled, nodded, and said: "We are about to meet my Buddha, and we should wash off all the dust to show our respect. But, do you want to avoid it first?"

With a bang, Monkey King and the others all staggered and fell down when they heard Tang Sanzang's words.

Seeing several apprentices like this, Tang Sanzang couldn't help being covered with black lines on the top of his head.

"Hehe, the master is really, isn't it just a bath, and let us avoid it, isn't he still ashamed?".Zhu Bajie sneered while avoiding the road.

"Stupid, what are you talking about?"Sun Wukong heard the words and stopped him sharply.

Seeing Monkey King like this, Zhu Bajie shrugged helplessly and closed his mouth.

In this way, after Monkey King and the others waited for half a stick of incense, Tang Sanzang walked out of the pool.

At this time, Tang Sanzang, who had been washed away from the dust, had already changed into the brocade cassock, and he looked much younger.

"Disciple, you also go to wash!".Coming to Sun Wukong and the others, Tang Sanzang laughed.

"Then trouble master to wait here!".Sun Wukong said humbly.

"Go!".Tang Sanzang nodded and said.

Seeing Tang Sanzang nodding his head, Zhu Bajie, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately shouted for joy, and a dodger disappeared.With the sound of "plop" in the next second, his fat figure had already appeared in the pool water.

"Hehe, Lao Sha, let's go too!"Sun Wukong smiled and said to Sha Wujing.After finishing speaking, he jumped into the pool with Sha Wujing.

Looking at the several apprentices who were going west to protect him along the way, Tang Sanzang smiled and waited quietly.

Hour after hour, Monkey King and the others, who were exhausted, finally came out of the pool.

"Okay, Wukong, let's go thank the Immortal Jinding, and it's time to continue our journey!" Tang Sanzang smiled when he saw a few apprentices coming out.

"Okay, master!".Sun Wukong replied.

"The poor monks thank the Great Immortal for his hospitality!".In the Yuzhen Temple, in the welcoming hall, Tang Sanzang politely said to the Golden Summit Immortal.

"Elder Xuanzang is polite. It's getting late now, why don't the elders just rest here for one night and set off tomorrow!".The Golden Top Immortal laughed.

"Yes, master, let's rest here!".Zhu Bajie also persuaded.

Although Tang Sanzang really wanted to see the Tathagata as soon as possible in his heart, so as to obtain the scriptures as soon as possible.But after hearing what Zhu Bajie said, he thought that he had already arrived at the foot of Lingshan Mountain anyway, so he nodded his head and said: "So, the poor monks have the audacity to disturb you!".

"Elder, you're welcome, I'm going to prepare guest rooms for you!".The Golden Top Immortal laughed.

On the second day, the sky gradually brightened.

Stepping out of Yuzhen Temple, the master and apprentice continued to move forward, towards the Linghe River that could be seen in front of them.

Soon, the master and apprentice arrived in front of Linghe.

Although the river is halfway up the mountain, for some unknown reason, it has formed a stream of flowing water, which continuously surrounds the Lingshan Mountain and flows non-stop.

This river is far inferior to the Tongtian River. It is about eight or nine miles wide, and there is no one around. It is now impossible to find someone to cross the river by boat.

The master and apprentice walked upstream along this river, hoping that there would be a bridge for them to cross directly, but it took a whole stick of incense for them to find a bridge that they could cross safely, only Monkey King and Yu Canghai With sharp eyes, I found a single-plank bridge.

This single-plank bridge is about the thickness of a fist, and its surface is extremely smooth. Not to mention ordinary people like Master Sanzang, even those who know martial arts in the world would definitely not dare to walk across this single-plank bridge.They also found a stone tablet next to the single-plank bridge, with three large characters engraved on it—Lingyundu. Presumably, after long-term erosion by the river, the writing on it was vaguely unclear.

"This Lingyundu really lives up to its name!".

Tang Sanzang looked at the single-plank bridge and let out a heartfelt sigh.This single-plank bridge stands on such a wide river.Anyone who walks on this single-plank bridge should feel like they are in the clouds.

While everyone was hesitating, Tang Sanzang saw a boat coming from the opposite bank from a distance.

"Look, there's a boat there"

Monkey King, Zhu Bajie and the others heard their master's call, and followed his gaze to look at the small boat rowing in the big river in front of them.

The boat looked like it was only about one person wide, and at best it could carry three people.And the sharp-eyed Monkey King saw that the boat had no bottom.There is only one reason why this boat without a bottom can row in such a turbulent river, and that is that the rower is definitely not a mortal.Maybe it's some powerful character.

In fact, this boatman is one of the three thousand Buddhas in Lingshan, who is responsible for guiding Buddhist disciples into the sacred scenery of Lingshan.

After thinking about it for a few times, the Buddha had already rowed the bottomless boat in front of Master Tang Sanzang and the others, beckoning Tang Sanzang to get on the boat, and he wanted to row the boat and take them across the river.

At first Tang Sanzang didn't see that the boat had no bottom, but now that the boat was in front of him, he could clearly see that the bottom of the boat in front of him was the wide and swift river. It didn't sink into the river immediately, but the boatman stood on the boat safely, showing no sign of sinking at all, which is really strange.

Glancing at the boatman in front of him who kept beckoning him to get on the boat, he was already gray-haired, but he had that amiable smile on his face. Just smiling at him would definitely not harm his group!Tang Sanzang thought.

"Old man, this boat of yours has no bottom, how can the monk get on it?"

Tang Sanzang asked this question tremblingly, he really wanted to go to the other side of the river, but this boat was a bottomless boat without a bottom, and he probably sank to the bottom of the river before he reached the shore.

It seemed that the master who received and led the Buddha had expected that Master Sanzang would ask such a question, so he smiled slightly and said to Tang Sanzang.

"My boat is an innate spiritual treasure that has appeared since before the Primordial Meng was judged. Let alone carrying people across the river, it is also a piece of cake to go up to the nine heavens and enter the underworld. Don't be afraid, this elder. Come up and you can cross the river."

"Wukong, are you watching?".Tang Sanzang looked at Monkey King with a troubled expression, and asked.

"Hehe, master, haven't you heard that a bottomless boat is easy to ferry people across. It's all right, go up, go up!".Sun Wukong heard the words and said to Tang Sanzang with a smile.

After finishing speaking, seeing that Tang Sanzang was still hesitating, Monkey King stretched out his hand and gently threw Tang Sanzang onto the boat.

As soon as Tang Sanzang got on the boat, he felt his body sank and was about to fall.Fortunately, the guide Buddha had quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed him and stood firmly on the boat.

Tang Sanzang, who was still in shock, was about to open his mouth to blame Monkey King, but saw a dead body floating out and drifting away along the current!

Tang Sanzang was taken aback when he saw it, and hurriedly asked, "Who is this?"

Monkey King laughed and said, "This is you, Master, but you are not Master!"

"This is you, congratulations!".Receiving Buddha also smiled.

Tang Sanzang was suddenly turned into Monk Zhang Er by the two of them - he couldn't figure it out.

"I'm going to sail, you guys come up too!".At this time, the leading Buddha said to Monkey King and the others who were still on the shore.

Sun Wukong heard the words, smiled, led the white dragon horse and went up, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing saw this and followed.

"Okay, stand firm, let's sail!".Seeing that all the people had come up, he greeted the Buddha with a shout, opened the wormwood, and rowed the boat away.

"Okay, everyone, we have arrived, please disembark!".After a while, the boat docked at a bank, and the Buddha greeted Tang Sanzang and his disciples with a smile.

"Thank you for sending me!".After getting off the boat, Tang Sanzang bowed to the guiding Buddha and thanked him.

"Hehe, you're welcome!".Receive and guide the Buddha with a smile.As soon as the voice fell, the guiding Buddha had disappeared.

Seeing that the guiding Buddha disappeared, Tang Sanzang continued to greet several disciples and walked along the mountain road.

Dingmoxiao Hanzhong, the root is connected to the Xumi vein.Qiaofeng arrangement, strange rock jagged.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.The colorful phoenixes are in pairs, facing the sun and making the world auspicious.Qingluan is right, dancing against the wind is rare in the world.Xiaguang is released on the Tianwang Hall, and purple flames are sprayed in front of the Dharma Hall.The pagoda of the pagoda is obvious, and the fragrance of flowers in the excellent bowl.What a holy land of Lingshan!
"This is no longer the mortal world. The Lingyundu just now is the entrance to the Lingshan Mountain of the Western Heaven..." Sun Wukong looked at the endless mountains with faint Buddha voices, and said to Tang Sanzang and the others.

There are so many mountains. Along the way, the master and apprentice met countless upasakas, upasakas, monks, and nuns.These western walkers who have just attained buddhahood, Arhats, live comfortably in this holy land of the Three Realms, which cannot afford catastrophe.

The Hall of Subduing the Dragon Arhat, the Hall of Crouching Tiger Arhat, and many other temples are overwhelming.It's just that everyone has no intention of watching the scenery of Lingshan now.

The Daleiyin Ancient Temple, which stands tallest and stands tall, is the only thing in the eyes of everyone now.

After walking up for three days, passing countless holy places in Foshan, Leiyin Ancient Temple, and finally arrived at the front.

And outside the mountain gate, there are also four huge figures that look like greetings waiting there.

"The Buddhist scriptures from the East go to the hall to meet the Buddha!" ​​The deep and dignified voice burst out from the mouths of the four giant men, making the hearts of several people jump slightly.

"Well...the four of them are all of the same style, and in Lingshan, they are the only ones... Wutai Mountain's secret magic rock has great powers and can cast Dharma Vajra, Emei Mountain's Qingliang Cave has immeasurable magic power surpassing that of Vajra, and Mount Xumi's Moer Cliff Pilu Shamen is very powerful. Vajra, Jinxia Ridge of Kunlun Mountain is not bad, King Yongzhu Vajra...the four great Vajras!" Smiling slightly, several people leaned over and gave a salute to thank them for coming out to greet them. After that, they walked a little dazedly, With some excited steps, he entered the Great Hall of Lei Yin.

The feeling of being watched by countless people is really awkward. Even Monkey King, who has experienced many winds and rains, can't stand this scene of thousands of people watching.Not much to say, it was indeed surrounded by thousands of people!The Great Sun Tathagata Buddha group exuding immeasurable Buddha light in the center, nearly a thousand other Buddhas, eight Bodhisattvas, four Vajras, eighteen golden arhats, five hundred great arhats, three thousand Jiedi, and others are bhikkhunis, eminent monks, and upasakas. .With a sweep of Ao Lie's consciousness, he is around ten thousand people!

Among the crowd, Sisha Wujing was the shy one. He couldn't stand this kind of animal-like scene. He lowered his head and walked slowly through the long hall with his senior brothers and master.And Tang Sanzang, the monkey and old pig of Ao Lie, had experienced a lot of wind and rain, and his realm was not ordinary. They all walked with their heads held high, smiling lightly, and didn't care about the many eyes around them.

"The disciple came from the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Land. After 19 years, he finally arrived in front of the Buddha. I hope that the Buddha can bestow the scriptures and enlighten the countless mortals in the Eastern Land!" There was deep excitement in the peaceful voice, even if Tang Sanzang, who had already had an epiphany, could not help but let go of his feelings at this moment. He knelt in front of the Tathagata Buddha and spoke impassionedly!
19 years of time, the 48 years of journeying to the West on horseback through untold hardships and wading through mountains and rivers, can no longer be described in words.
