The Way of the Prehistoric World

Chapter 68: Master and Disciple Go on the Road

Although there is nothing wrong with the saying that a day in heaven is a year on earth, it is easily misunderstood.

In the thirty-three days of the prehistoric period, that is, where the Heavenly Palace was located, as the existence within the great star array left by Pangu, the sun and the moon alternated, which was naturally different from the prehistoric continent.

The most significant difference is that the time required for one rotation is twelve hours in the ancient continent, which is one day, while in the land of heaven, the sun, moon and stars take half a year to rotate each time. Once is a year.

One day in Heaven means that the sun and moon rotate once, and the time is equivalent to one year in the ancient continent. It does not mean that time flows more slowly in Heaven.

In fact, among all the heavens and realms within chaos, only the law of time has always maintained synchronization. Mei Zihan didn't know the reason, but he could imagine that it was Dao Dao who did it deliberately. If it were just the power of the Chaos Demon God, it would not be possible at all. There is no possibility of realization.

The so-called "years are not counted in chaos" does not mean that there is no concept of time in chaos, but it means that time is dispensable. If it is not necessary to survive the countless tribulations, in the eyes of the Chaos Demon God, counting years or not will not matter at all. hinder yourself in the slightest.

Since Wukong was controlled by Tathagata Buddha and suppressed by the Five Hundred Yuan Hui at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, the human race has become more and more powerful. Except for Beiju Luzhou, which was destroyed by the war, many human dynasties have been established in the other three major continents.

The most famous among them is none other than the Tang Empire \\Chang\\feng(cf)(wx) in Dongsheng Shenzhou. This country occupies almost half of the territory of Shenzhou. If it were not restricted by the saints and annexed the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou, it would also Not impossible.

The national power has become strong. What followed was a statement that spread far and wide. No matter in the other two continents or in the human tribes south of Buzhou Mountain, all the tribesmen heard that the Tang Empire was standing in the east, and the country was strong and the people were prosperous. Therefore, The heart longs for it.

When the empire was passed down from Emperor Taizong, he would be far more wise than his father, and the country would become even more powerful. At this time, Tathagata Buddha does not go through the six paths of reincarnation. Then Jin Chanzi was reincarnated and became a citizen of the Tang Dynasty.

There is almost no difference from the legend of the previous life. Although the person reincarnated by Jin Chanzi was of noble origin. But his fate is miserable. Not only his father died. The mother was bullied and returned as a baby, drifting in the river.

After Jin Chanzi's reincarnation. There were six Ding and Liujia around him to protect him, so even though the river was surging, it could not hurt him at all. He was finally saved by the abbot of a Buddhist temple, and he was given the name Xuanzang from then on.

As the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, his Buddha nature is extremely profound. He has already understood the essence of Buddhism at a young age, so the host values ​​him very much and wants to pass on the mantle. When he is older, he will take over the role of host. Only by holding this position can the reputation be spread throughout the empire.

After Xuanzang relied on Buddhism to relieve Taizong's troubles, Taizong ordered him to explain Buddhism in Chang'an City. However, at this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva, on the order of the Buddha, came to the Tang Dynasty to find the person who was seeking Buddhist scriptures. As soon as Pu saw Xuanzang, he recognized the origin of his heels, so he transformed into an old man and went to enlighten him.

Taizong heard that the old man transformed by Guanyin wanted to sell the cassock and tin staff, so he invited Guanyin into the temple. Afterwards, Guanyin talked about Mahayana Buddhism, and gave the cassock and tin staff to those who took the scriptures.

After Xuanzang said goodbye to Emperor Taizong, he rode a horse to the west. Because of his magical horse, he could travel several light years in a year. However, for thousands of years, he never left the Tang Dynasty and instead came to the Five Elements Mountain first. boundary.

Xuanzang, under the orders of the Bodhisattva, rescued Wukong who was suppressed at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain. He named his disciple Wukong, and later relied on the power of the golden hoop to make Wukong more honest and stop causing trouble on his own.

Later, the gods and Buddhas thought that Xuanzang was moving too slowly, so they ordered the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea to swallow the white horse, then transform into a horse body and carry Xuanzang towards the west.

As the third son of Ao Run, Bai Longma's cultivation level is not weak. He has reached the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal. After transforming into a dragon horse, his speed is comparable to that of ordinary Golden Immortal. He can travel hundreds of light years every year. Only in this way can he During Taizong's tenure, Mahayana Buddhism was brought back.

Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire, is at least 100 million light-years away from Mount Sumeru in Hezhou, Xiniu, which is also the spiritual mountain of Buddhism. In addition, the dragon and horse walking on the ground have to go around in vain, so the journey is even longer.

Without the help of White Dragon Horse, it would have been impossible to bring Mahayana Buddhism back to the Eastern Land in just a few tens of yuan.

It should be noted that since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, all the emperors of the human race cannot break through to the level of Golden Immortal. This limits their term of office to a hundred yuanhui. If one cannot break through in cultivation, he will have to abdicate and give way. No exceptions can be made.

With the power of the previous spirit horse, it was impossible to retrieve this scripture when Taizong was on the throne. If he had to wait until the next king came to the throne to bring back the Mahayana Buddhism, then the spread of Buddhism would cause countless changes, and since then It is not something that the two Western sanctuaries would like to see.

After collecting the white dragon horse, Xuanzang and Wukong's disciples speeded up their journey by more than ten times. After passing the Guanyin Temple, they received another disciple, but it was the named disciple of the sage Lao Tzu. He was once the marshal of Tianting Tianpeng, and was later defeated. Xuanzang was given the dharma title Wu Neng, also known as Bajie, because he was mistakenly reborn in a pig's womb.

After accepting Bajie, Xuanzang accepted another disciple by the Liusha River, but he was a Sha Monk who was born in Chan religion. Suffer from that war.

After the four masters and disciples and one horse gathered together, and after several Yuanhui, they left the human tribe and entered the Xiniu Hezhou. One day, they suddenly saw a mountain, stretching for thousands of light years, but with undulating peaks and towering into the sky. .

In front of Lingshan Mountain, I could only see white clouds surrounding the mountainside, but I couldn't recognize the true appearance of the top of the mountain. There were dense forests, waterfalls, strange rocks, and rare birds and animals. The scenery was very dangerous and steep, which made people yearn for it.

This mountain is Wanshou Mountain. There is a temple on the mountain called Wuzhuang Temple. Inside the temple lives a great immortal. He is the Zhenyuan Great Immortal and one of the two disciples of the Chaos Island lineage. Therefore, he has already survived the great thunder tribulation and successfully transformed Pangu. At present, his combat power is even more than that of a saint.

After the failure of the Heavenly Dao and the Six Saints to invade the underworld, the Chaos Island lineage had just been born, and Zhen Yuanzi also returned to Wuzhuang Temple. However, before Xuanzang's master and disciples arrived, he was invited by Yuanshi Tianzun to go to Thirty-three Tianwai discussed Taoism with him, so he never met Xuanzang and his entourage.

In this case, Zhen Yuanzi ordered the boys to find an excuse to hit two ginseng fruits in the backyard to compensate Xuanzang. After that, Wukong stole the fruits and destroyed the tree. Because the two sages of the West worked together to cover up the secret, Zhen Yuanzi had not yet done so. aware.

"So that the master will know that there must be a great immortal Taoist temple in this spiritual mountain. It's time to go inside to ask for alms. I, the old pig, are already hungry." With that, Bajie was about to walk towards the top of the mountain.

As a registered disciple of the sage Lao Tzu, how could Bajie not know that there is a Wuzhuang Temple on the top of the mountain. There is a human fruit tree with innate spiritual roots in the temple. This innate spiritual fruit has a better effect than the flat peach. If you eat some secretly, there should be no serious harm. That's it.

It should be noted that the four masters and disciples of Xuanzang are the key to the spread of Buddhism to the East. Even if they harm the Immortal Zhenyuan, there will be Buddhists who will help them and prevent their lives from being in danger. At this moment, Bajie is full of scheming and is wondering what to do. Let Wukong steal the spiritual fruit and put aside his own cause and effect.

After getting along for a long time, Bajie got a thorough understanding of Wukong. Although he was powerful in battle, he was a reckless person. If he didn't have the support of the Second Saint of the West, he would have died long ago.

Later, he was suppressed by Tathagata Buddha and lived at the Five Hundred Yuan Club at the foot of Five Elements Mountain. This only made him smarter, but in Bajie's eyes, it was still not enough. Therefore, while he was against Wukong, he secretly encouraged Wukong to gain some for himself. benefit.

Bajieduan was worthy of being a named disciple of Lao Tzu. He imitated the sage's way of inaction thoroughly. During his journey to the west, he would not exert any force if he could, and he would not exert great force if he could exert a small force. Whenever he encountered difficulties and obstacles, he would always With Wukong on top, even if he went to seek reinforcements, Wukong would be the one with more.

As for the third disciple Sha Seng, they followed suit, but they didn’t show any great strength anyway. One of them came from Taoism and the other came from explanatory teaching. They would not do their best for Buddhism. They only came here to gain some merit. As for the Buddhist honor, Don't think it will be taken seriously by these two people.

When the four masters and disciples arrived in front of the temple, they saw writings on both sides of the gate saying: Immortal Immortal Mansion, a Taoist family that lives as long as heaven. Hengpi: I am the same as you in the world.

Seeing this, Wukong was dissatisfied, so he laughed and said: "The Taoist priest in the temple talks big words to deceive people. When I, the old grandson, made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace before the Five Hundred Yuan Meeting, I never saw such words said at the head of the Taishang Laojun's family. "

Hearing this, Bajie secretly said: "Laojun is only the incarnation of a teacher, how can he be worthy of this verse? The Great Immortal Zhenyuan in the temple, even though he is a teacher and a saint, must be called senior brother. How can Laojun, who is just an incarnation of a saint, dare to compete with him?" Compared to that?"

After a while of criticism, Bajie advised: "Don't worry about him, go in, maybe this Taoist priest has some virtues, I don't know."

Xuanzang and Wukong didn't know the reason. Seeing Bajie go ahead, they followed him into the temple. When Xuanzang was in the main hall, he held incense in his left hand and poured it into the burner. He bowed three times and then asked: "Fairy boy, the Wuzhuang Temple is here." This is the Western Realm, why not support the Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, and the Lords of Luotian, and only serve the three unknown true gods with incense?”

The three unknown true gods mentioned by Xuanzang are Mei Zihan, Zufeng and Hongjun. Mei Zihan is seen in the center, Zufeng and Hongjun are sitting on the left and right. As a reincarnated person, Xuanzang had never heard of the names of the three Taoist ancestors, so he had this question.

The boy heard the words and said with a smile: "To be honest with the elders, only three Taoist ancestors can enjoy the incense of the temple master. The rest of the top ones are worthy of the ceremony; the ones below can't bear the incense of the Wuzhuang Temple."

"Why is this?" Xuanzang was shocked, but he never noticed the names of the three Taoist ancestors.

The boy replied: "San Qing is my master's junior brother, Si Di and Jiu Yao are both juniors of the temple master, and Yuan Chen is a guest of Wuzhuang Temple. How can I accept the incense?"

Wukong fell down laughing when he heard this. When Bajie asked why, he replied: "People only say that I, the old grandson, can cause trouble, but I didn't expect that this Taoist boy in front of me actually dares to talk nonsense!"

When Bajie heard what he said, he already decided that Wukong thought that the boy's words were too exaggerated, but he didn't realize that they were true, so he thought to himself: "The monkey doesn't know the origin of the great immortal, so he won't have any scruples. We can take the opportunity to let him steal some spiritual fruits. I Let’s have a taste of the delicious ginseng fruit, too.”

When they heard and watched that they were invited to discuss Taoism by others, but they were not in Wuzhuang Temple, the four masters and disciples stopped talking and rested for the time being. (To be continued...) ()
