Journey to the West: Asking the Heavens

Chapter 786 Test
Thirty miles in front of the Liangjie Mountains, there is a wilderness on one side.

Tang Seng was tied tightly to the big tree, seeing that the two attendants and disciples he brought were eaten by the demons in front of him, but he didn't dare to make a sound, but kept crying.

These tears were shed not only for the death of the two disciples who came here to serve him, but also for his own experience.

Thinking about that Dongtu Great Tang, it is the largest human nation in Nanzhan Buzhou, with prosperous luck, gods and demons, especially Chang'an, the capital of the country, in Chang'an, idle monsters and ghosts can't get in at all, only Datang's A lucky dragon is enough to suppress and kill a bunch of demons and ghosts!
The poor monk Tang lived in Chang'an for a long time. There has been no disturbance for decades, but now he is suddenly confronted by monsters. Even he is a generation of eminent monks, and his heart is full of fear. This is the instinct of life.

The Buddhist gods who secretly guarded Tang Seng couldn't help laughing at Tang Seng's weakness.

It should be noted that the predecessor of this Tang monk was a ferocious beast with six wings and a golden cicada. He had an extremely fierce temper. According to the Tathagata, he was the only one who dared to stand up and refute. It can be seen that this guy's temper has not changed at all!
That is the Tathagata Buddha, the lord of thousands of Buddhas in Buddhism, Bodhisattvas such as Avalokitesvara, Ksitigarbha, Maitreya, Randeng and other Buddhas are all respectful in front of him, and they dare not disobey orders at all, which is enough to see his power!
Jin Chanzi, who dared to contradict the Buddha in the past, has now become such a weak monk who shed tears in front of the demons. It is no wonder that these gods and Buddhas laughed secretly.

Not only these gods and Buddhas, but even the monsters arranged here are extremely contemptuous when they see this strange behavior of Tang Monk, but they are also strange in their hearts. The golden light of merit must be a great virtuous monk, why is it so unbearable?

According to common sense, a real great virtuous monk must be empty of all four elements, see through the mundane world, and keep his Zen mind unmoved in the face of life and death.

Although many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas cannot reach such a state, it is because most of them are innate beings and born strong. For a powerful eminent monk, there are really many who can do it!
But Tang Seng is not in this category. The reason why he has great merit is because of his previous ten reincarnations, but not the accumulation of this life, so his xinxing cultivation is far from matching the merit!
However, these monsters are contemptuous, but they dare not touch Tang Seng. They are lowly cultivated and afraid of karmic sins. They just finished eating the two attendants, then drank and had fun, and left each other until dawn.

Poor Tang Seng, seeing the demon leave, he didn't have time to rejoice in his heart, but suddenly found that he had no strength to restrain a chicken, and was tied up in this wilderness. He couldn't break free, but he could only wait for death!

Thinking up to this point, thinking of Tang Wang's earnest entrustment not long ago, and Guanyin Bodhisattva's high hopes for him, the great monk's heart was ashamed for a while, and in desperation, he secretly shed tears...

Seeing this, Taibai Jinxing, who was responsible for the ultimate mission of rescuing Tang Seng, muttered to himself about the weakness of Tang Seng's reincarnation in this life, but then turned into an old man and showed his figure in the wilderness.

"Old man...Old man!"

Looking at the figure in the distance, Tang Seng regained his energy all of a sudden, he didn't care about crying anymore, and opened his mouth to shout loudly.

He said loudly: "Old man, please save the poor monk, save the poor monk!"

The old man in Taibai Jinxing's disguise immediately walked towards Tang Seng tremblingly, but he looked very old, and took a step, but it was a few feet away, but he arrived in front of Tang Seng in three or two steps.

At this time, it was early dawn and the mountain fog was thick. Tang Seng was tied up all night, and he was dizzy, but he really didn't pay attention.

Seeing that the old man was willing to save him, he recited the Buddha's name in a low voice and said: "My Buddha has said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. The old benefactor is very kind and merciful. If you save a poor monk's life today, you will surely do so in the future." Enjoy the bliss of Western bliss.”

"You monk, your own life was almost lost in the hands of that monster, and you still care about whether the old man enjoys it or not. It's really ridiculous."

Taibai Jinxing shook his head, and said: "Tell me that a monk like you can't carry it on your shoulders or lift it with your hands, how dare you come to this wilderness to provoke demons?"

Tang Seng was speechless for a while when he heard the words, why did he come to provoke the monster?
He sighed, and said: "So that the old man can know that the purpose of this poor monk is to go to the pure land of Buddhism in the Western Paradise, in order to obtain the scriptures and save all living beings. Unexpectedly, when he came here, he encountered a demon, and his disciple died tragically, leaving only the poor monk. Luckily."

"Go to the Western Heaven Buddhist Gate to learn scriptures, monk, you should turn around as soon as possible!"

The old man laughed, and said: "You know that the road to the west is full of wolves, tigers and leopards. To go to the west, the journey is one hundred and eight thousand miles, and there are countless big demons and old demons. What you meet today is nothing compared to those demons behind you." , Undoubtedly, it’s a big mistake, monk, you don’t want to kill yourself, go back, go back..."

While speaking, the crutch in his hand brushed the rope on Tang Seng's body, and the rope snapped, and Tang Seng was freed all of a sudden, but because of being tied up all night, his hands and feet were so weak that he suddenly collapsed to the ground.

While rubbing his arm, he said: "Thank you, old man, for saving your life, but no matter how bumpy the future is, the poor monk has to go on. The poor monk has been entrusted by the king of Tang and the decree of Guanyin. If he goes to the west, he will go to the west unless he gets If you read the scriptures, otherwise you will never take a step east. If you have this heart and this ambition, even if you die, the poor monk will not change at all."

Taibai Jinxing nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, Yuan Dao, this monk is crying, weak-tempered, unable to bear heavy burdens, but unexpectedly he is a master who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

Anyone can say these words, but you must know that Tang Seng has just experienced the disaster of a demon. He watched the demon eat him as a companion, and he was almost killed by the demon. If he does not change his mind, his determination to learn from the scriptures is firm, which can be seen.

He laughed and said: "It's a good spirit, it's really a good spirit, I hope you can go all the way west, don't change your mind, and go on the road."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the distance, but within two steps, most of his figure had disappeared in the morning mist.

Tang Seng shouted loudly from behind: "Please also leave my name and surname, the poor monk should remember the grace of saving life, and repay it with a picture!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The figure of the old man did not stop at all, but there was a burst of laughter, and then disappeared, but at this moment, a red-crowned crane fluttered across the sky, and a post was left on the post, which read: I am The Taibai Star in the Western Sky is here to save your soul.Go forward with the help of gods and apprentices, don't complain about hardships.

Tang Seng looked at it, and immediately bowed to the sky and said: "It turned out that Taibai Jinxing came down to earth, thank you Xingjun for helping the poor monk get out of this difficulty." A small pit was buried, and I recited the mantra of the past life several times, but I didn't stop. I led the horse, packed up and saluted, and continued to move forward.

In the clouds of the sky, the Great Dragon and Mo Yuan stood side by side, paying attention to the monk. The Great Dragon sighed: "I never thought that this monk would have such courage. No wonder the Tathagata Buddha ordered him to go down to earth to learn scriptures!"

Before this monk was crying and crying, the Great Shenlong was still extremely disdainful, but now he is actually convinced by Tang Seng.

Mo Yuan smiled and said: "There are three thousand Buddhas in Buddhism, five hundred arhats, and countless disciples. At this time, it is in a state of succession and prosperity, and it is common sense for talents to emerge in large numbers."

Even though the Buddhism is unbearable, but the savings have been accumulated for a long time, there are many disciples, and this catastrophe is also a catastrophe for the great prosperity of the Buddhism. It is reasonable to have a few people who can make a move.

In addition to the Tang monk who was reincarnated by the six-winged golden cicada, there are also many Bodhisattvas and Buddhas such as Ksitigarbha, Avalokitesvara, Manjusri and Puxian, and even Mahasthama. The difference is that Mo Yuan's Taoism is profound, and it is difficult to find opponents under the saints, so these bodhisattvas have been beaten repeatedly. If it were someone else, he would be like the monkey grandson, who would only be played around by these Buddhist powers.

"Your Majesty Zhenwu!"

While the two were talking, a voice came from a distance, but it was the Taibai Jinxing who saw the two of them here, came forward and said: "Little God Taibai, see Emperor Zhenwu."

"Taibai Jinxing get up."

Mo Yuan raised his hand and said: "Xing Jun gave some hints and tested the strength of the mind of the Buddhist scriptures. It is a good way. No wonder the Jade Emperor trusts Chong Xing Jun so much."

Hearing the word Jade Emperor from Mo Yuan's mouth, Taibai Jinxing's face showed an unnatural look. A few days ago, the Zhenwu Emperor led a group of gods from the Zhenwu Temple to fight against the heavenly court, and the Jade Emperor was lucky. The face of the Jade Emperor has greatly shaken the prestige of the Jade Emperor. For example, many gods and demons in the world are secretly laughing at the Jade Emperor, and they are obedient to the Jade Emperor's will.He understood these things clearly.

It is inevitable that there is a sense of ridicule in the words of the Jade Emperor's trust from the mouth of the Zhenwu Emperor.

But Taibai Jinxing didn't dare to show his thoughts like this.His Majesty Zhenwu in front of him has strong mana, great power, and ranks first in the three realms. Among the Six Yutian Emperors, he is also faintly headed and offended him. Unless a saint comes forward, no one can save him!
Taibai Jinxing said respectfully: "Your Majesty's praise, this test, the little god just followed Guanyin's wishes and acted in accordance with the law. It is all the credit of Guanyin, and the little god dare not claim credit..."

"Guanyin's handwriting is interesting. Using a few monsters to test whether this Tang monk is devout to the Tao has aroused my interest."

Mo Yuan smiled and said: "Originally I just planned to handle it lightly and let this Tang Monk pass the test easily, but now I have changed my mind, Taibai Jinxing, would you like to help me and invite a guest for me? ! "

Taibai Jinxing couldn't help but thump in his heart. If he heard correctly, His Majesty Zhenwu is going to make things difficult for this pilgrim.

Originally, it was nothing, but His Majesty Zhenwu has great supernatural powers and extraordinary magic power. Even before reincarnation, Jin Chanzi would be played around in front of him, not to mention today!
It is not a trivial matter to learn from people and people in the Three Realms!
But Mo Yuan's thoughts, he couldn't control, he could only suppress the horror in his heart, and said: "The little god is willing to listen to His Majesty's orders."

Mo Yuan smiled again, and said: "Let's go to Taiyin Star, look for Fairy Chang'e, and say that I want to give her a merit and invite her to come here from the lower realm. I want to see it today. This Buddhist monk's so-called four are empty, here Does Tang Seng have it or not!"

Fairy Chang'e!

Hearing this name, Taibai Jinxing's heart fell to the bottom, and his face was full of bitterness.

What kind of person is Fairy Chang'e? The most recognized beauty in the Three Realms is the charming and enchanting Empress Daji, and the magical power of Empress Nuwa, neither of which can take away her title, which shows how strong her charm is!
It should be noted that this is not the charm that ordinary people say, but the good name among gods and demons!
The so-called "sinking fish and falling geese" and "closing the moon to shame flowers" are not enough to describe Chang'e's beauty, and this kind of beauty, who is loved by gods and demons, if Tang Seng is tested by the lower world, he will really be able to withstand the temptation. ?
Nine times out of ten it won't work...

Even if that golden cicada came, the Buddha's heart would tremble, not to mention Tang Sanzang who is now in a mortal body!
Although Taibai Jinxing was afraid of Mo Yuan, but faced with this kind of thing, he still couldn't help saying: "So that Your Majesty will know that Fairy Chang'e's beauty is beyond the control of gods and demons. If she uses it to test the Buddhist scriptures, I'm afraid it will make her hesitate. , what should be done in this catastrophe?"

"You, old man, are worried a lot. A sage will worry about the catastrophe. It's not like I'm going to kill this scripture learner, but I'm just setting up a test like you. If he moved the heart, could Fairy Chang'e still return?" If you marry him, you can't do it, go and go, don't be late, the sky is falling and there is a tall man holding it up, it's not your turn to care!" Mo Yuan waved his hands impatiently.

Taibai Jinxing thinks about it for the same reason, this catastrophe can't pass, it's the sage who is behind the scenes, anyway, Mo Yuan let him go, if something goes wrong, the Emperor Zhenwu will take care of it.

He immediately responded, and then went straight to the lunar star.

Seeing him leave, Mo Yuan said again: "Aiqing, it's time for you to show your skills."

The great dragon nodded, and in a moment of thought, mana flowed, and the brilliance shone all over its body, and it had already turned into a big tiger with a white forehead, a bloody mouth, and sharp teeth like knives. It's terrifying!
"What a beast, Aiqing's art of transformation is not inferior to the Eighty-Nine Mysterious Art."

Mo Yuan applauded, but stretched out his hand towards the distant mountains. Immediately, on the flat land near the two boundary mountains, there was a stretch of houses, and Mo Yuan saw the formula in Mo Yuan's hand, and a mysterious talisman in the air It flashed by, and when it fell to the ground, it turned into a dozen attendants and maids. They were the yellow scarf warriors that Mo Yuan had forged.

"Let's go, let's welcome this Buddha's direct disciple!"

Mo Yuan laughed, but immediately turned into a flash of light, and fell on Tang Seng's only path with the big tiger...
