Journey to the West begins with a full-level Tang monk

Chapter 37

When Tang Seng heard the words, he was immediately laughed angrily, and retorted: "To learn from the scriptures, do you use your mouth to learn from the scriptures? Can you get the scriptures by shouting slogans? I have traveled a long distance, do I not need to eat? No need to spend Well? If you don’t pay wages, do you want me to rob you?”

Avalokitesvara shook her head and said, "When we become a monk, we should make alms for food and live in lodging. How can we buy it with money?"

"You sound good. I have worked so hard to learn scriptures, and I have to be a beggar along the way. How about begging?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned, and was quite critical of Tang Seng's word beggar, but before she could speak, Tang Seng continued:
"How about this? Sister Guanyin, you are profound in Buddhism, how about you come to be a professional beggar and help us find food and housing? You don't have to keep doing it, just teach me!" Tang Seng provocatively said.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was dumb, and simply stopped entangled with Tang Seng on this issue, and said again: "Originally, I came to help you overcome this difficulty, but I didn't expect Xuanzang to overcome this difficulty by yourself. Heavenly Dao Learner!"

As he said that, Guanyin Bodhisattva took out a hoop that looked like a tight hoop, raised his head and put it on the black bear's head.

"Wait!" Tang Seng waved the nine-ringed tin staff with quick eyes and hands, shot down the flying hoop, and then unceremoniously put the hoop into his system space.

"Xuanzang, what do you mean?" Seeing Tang Seng put away the hoop, Guanyin Bodhisattva sensed it, and found that the hoop that had been refined had no sense at all, and couldn't help but exclaimed angrily.

"I still want to ask sister Guanyin what you mean!" Tang Seng snapped back unceremoniously.

"Tell me, did I subdue this black bear spirit?" Tang Seng raised the nine-ringed tin staff on the ground, and then asked righteously.

Guanyin frowned and nodded, while the black bear spirit beside him didn't show any expression on his face, but he kept complaining in his heart: The old bear didn't know the same as you because of Monkey King!

"That's it. This black bear is clearly my trophy. Why does my sister use which hoop to subdue it? Isn't this a robbery? As a Bodhisattva, you actually took the lead in breaking the precepts?" Tang Seng asked.

Guanyin's face darkened, but he had to explain: "Xuanzang, this black bear spirit is destined to be my guardian god of Luojia Mountain, so I ask Xuanzang to return the forbidden hoop to me as soon as possible. I subdued this black bear spirit, so you can go on your way as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Tang Seng took a step forward and said, "Sister Guanyin, if I have nothing to do with this blind bear, I will subdue it for you, but I just subdued him, are you angry?"

Then, Tang Seng walked over and patted the black bear spirit on the shoulder and said: "So, I will accept this black blind man. Sister Guanyin, if you want to find the God of the Mountain Guard, please find someone else. There are so many monsters in this world. And without this bear you can't find the gatekeeper!"

"As for this bear, look at this burly body, it can be beaten! So I am going to take him as an apprentice to protect me westward!" Tang Seng said with satisfaction.

"No!" As soon as Tang Seng finished speaking, Avalokitesvara immediately shouted.

"What? Do you have an opinion?" Tang Seng turned to look at Guanyin Bodhisattva.

He said that on purpose just now. In this series of events, Tang Seng is testing the bottom line of Buddhism step by step to see what price they are willing to pay in order to promote the success of their journey to the west.

Everything went well before, no matter what Tang Seng did, although Guanyin was angry, he could only let him do it and give in to him.

But this time, it is obvious that Tang Seng has touched the bottom line of Guanyin.

"Xuanzang, your apprentice has been doomed for a long time, don't change it without authorization! If you violate the will of heaven, the consequences are not something you can bear!" Guanyin warned with a serious face.

"Doomed?" Tang Seng chuckled, then stared at Guanyin and asked, "Sister Guanyin, if I insist on going against the sky, will I accept the black bear spirit as my disciple today?"

Avalokitesvara's pupils shrank, her eyes stared at Tang Seng, and a wave of mana belonging to the realm of Daluo Jinxian spewed out. Guanyin did not dare to press the aura on Tang Seng for fear of angering him.

But the black bear spirit on one side suffered a disaster. Feeling the immense pressure of Guanyin Bodhisattva, his face turned red from holding back, and he felt as if he would explode and die in the next moment.

Tang Seng also stared at Guanyin calmly, and confronted her.

Time passed by every minute and every second, until the black bear spirit could not hold on anymore, Tang Seng smiled slightly, withdrew his hand from the black bear spirit, and said to Guanyin, "Why is sister Guanyin so angry? I just opened my mouth It's just a joke, look at the ugly appearance of this blind man, how can he be worthy of being my apprentice of Yushu Linfeng Sacred Monk?"

Guanyin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, ignored Tang Seng's flamboyant words, withdrew his aura and coercion, and saved the black bear spirit from death.

The black bear spirit suddenly lightened, and then gasped for breath, Da Luo Jinxian, it was really scary!
However, after hearing Tang Seng's words, the black bear spirit gave him a slightly resentful look. Just now he said that he was tall, but now that he is timid, he said that he is ugly...

"It's good that Xuanzang understands." Avalokitesvara looked at Tang Seng and pointed out.

Tang Seng understood the warning in Guanyin's eyes, which was the bottom line for him not to try to provoke Buddhism.

"Sister Guanyin, although I don't need to accept this apprentice, I will definitely accept the black bear spirit. This guy will be very good as a thug in the future!" Tang Seng said.

Avalokitesvara frowned again, and persuaded, "Xuanzang, you will pass through many kingdoms of mortals on your journey to the west. This black bear spirit has a strange appearance, and it is really not suitable for you to go with me!"

"What's the matter? Look at my Wukong, doesn't he look like a monkey with a sharp mouth? Although he can be regarded as a handsome man like me in the monster clan, isn't he also a monster in the eyes of ordinary people? So What if I bring a black bear spirit with me?" Tang Seng said indifferently.

Monkey King was in a daze, he was just watching a show, why did it get involved in him?
"This..." Guanyin hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head: "No, this black bear spirit is different from Monkey King. If you take him with you, your image as a Buddhist may be damaged, so you should give up this idea!"

After hearing Guanyin's words, Hei Xiong Jingzhong was unwilling. How could that hairy-faced monkey go, and he would damage his image by doing so?
But after he compared himself with Monkey King, he lowered his head in frustration, because he found that this monkey could outshine himself by several blocks only in terms of appearance.

Looking at Guanyin Bodhisattva who resolutely refused, Tang Seng's heart moved, and he asked: "If I can prevent him from being seen by ordinary people, can sister Guanyin give him to me?"
