Chapter 1435 The Real Tathagata Buddha
Tang Seng was a little helpless. I am afraid that in the Westward Journey team, he only has the role of being a gatekeeper. Originally, he was only a master, so how could he do such a thing, but the situation is like this now.
After getting off his horse, he walked to the gate of Chengxian Temple. Tang Monk knocked on the door three times and then said, "Is anyone here?"
After a while, the door opened, and a child came out. He saw Tang Monk, Sun Wukong and Zhu Ganghye, but he did not show any fear and said directly: "Who are you? Why do you come to my Immortal Temple?" The door?"
"The poor monk is a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty who went to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. I passed by this place and I wonder if I can stay overnight and leave early tomorrow morning." Tang Monk said very politely. This place was said by Sun Wukong and Zhu Ganghe After entering the immortal's abode, this child cannot be underestimated.
"You are a Buddhist worshiper. Why do you come to our Immortal Temple? We only allow Taoist priests to stay here, not monks, unless you want to become an immortal." The boy said lightly.
In fact, this child is Ao Shen, and this fairy mountain is the fairyland they created originally. They just wanted to use this place to test Tang Monk. Ao Shen is completely acting in his true colors, because he is small, uh... he looks small.
"Immortals and Buddhas come to the same destination through different paths. Why do we care so much? Isn't it all for the sake of immortality?" Zhu Gangxi came out and said to Ao Shen.
"That's right, little boy, let us in. Maybe we are destined to be immortals? Maybe we will become immortals before we become Buddhas." Sun Wukong also smiled and said, Sun Wukong has no pursuit of becoming a Buddha. After taking the sutra, you will be free.
"Forget it, come in!" Ao Shen sighed, and then led the four Tang Monks in. First they came to the hall, and soon someone brought some fairy fruits and fine wine.
"I'll inform my master, you guys eat first." Ao Shen said lightly, and then turned around and entered the back hall. In the back hall stood Yang Jian, Liu'er, Daoxi and Xiaoxi.
Dao Xi naturally became the master of this Immortal Temple, and Yang Jian, Liu Er, and Xiao Xi played the role of Dao Xi's disciples. Now it was Dao Xi's turn to appear. When he came to the hall, he saw Zhu Gang Xi and Sun Wukong were drinking wine and eating fairy fruits.
As for Gao Cuilan and Tang Seng, although they were also eating, their eating habits were much better than that of Sun Wukong and Zhu Gangxi. reincarnation.
"Is this the Holy Monk of the Tang Dynasty who came from the East? Pindao is the master of the Immortal Temple, Tianlei Taoist." Daoxi has changed his appearance, and he has a treasure on his body. Sun Wukong's flaming eyes have no trace of anything at all. usefulness.
"The poor monk Tang Sanzang has met the Taoist priest." Tang Monk also made a Buddhist ceremony, then pointed at Sun Wukong and said: "This is the poor monk's great disciple Sun Wukong." Then he pointed at Zhu Ganghuan and Gao Cuilan and said: " This is Zhu Gangxi, the second disciple of the poor monk, and his wife."
"Oh? It's really weird. Can a monk also have a Taoist companion?" Daoxi looked at Tang Monk and said with a hint of ridicule.
"My Buddhism has the lineage of Huanxi Buddha, and this disciple of mine practices the lineage of Huanxi Buddha, which made the Taoist laugh." Tang Monk was a little embarrassed, but he still thought of the Huanxi Buddha in Buddhism, so he said it.
"I see, just now I heard from Tong Er that the holy monk wanted to stay in the temple. Originally I didn't agree, but for some reason, when I saw the holy monk, I felt a strong celestial connection. Perhaps it is easier for a holy monk to become an immortal than to become a Buddha."
"Thanks to the Taoist Master for his kindness, the poor monk has converted to my Buddha and devoted himself to the Buddha." Tang Monk said to Daoxi, but there was some movement in his heart. As long as he can have magical power, it doesn't matter whether he becomes an immortal or a Buddha. He promised Guanyin first.
"In this case, Pindao won't say much. Xuan Qingzi took these elders to the guest room to check in." Daoxi said lightly.
A young man walked into the hall and said respectfully to Daoxi: "Yes, Master." Then he said to Tang Monk: "Elder, please follow Pindao."
Tang Monk nodded and said, "Excuse me, Taoist priest." He stood up and followed the young Taoist priest out. Sun Wukong, Zhu Ganghui and Gao Cuihua also followed behind, following the young Taoist priest.
This young Taoist priest is Yang Jian, and he has naturally changed his appearance. Otherwise, both Zhu Gangxi and Sun Wukong can bring others out. After all, Zhu Gangxi was his subordinate at the beginning, and Sun Wukong even fought with him.
After arranging Tang Seng and others, Yang Jian returned to the hall. They did not plan to seduce Tang Seng now, but took their time. After all, if the water flows slowly, throwing temptation directly will make them suspicious.
Xiniu Hezhou, Lingshan Dayiyin Temple, Guanyin kneels in front of Tathagata Buddha. This is not the main hall, but the inner hall. Guanyin and Tathagata Buddha are here. Now Guanyin has accepted his fate and wants to stay in Buddhism. If you go down, you will not be able to oppose the Tathagata.
Otherwise, it will be very difficult to stay in Buddhism, and it is not an ordinary difficulty. After all, the ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas is the Tathagata, not the future Buddha. People under the eaves have to bow their heads!
"World Honored One, everything that was originally arranged for the journey to the west has been disrupted by the son of the Taoist Master. If this continues, it may be difficult for the journey to the west to reach Lingshan." Guanyin felt annoyed when he thought of what happened a few days ago.
Tathagata Buddha really wanted to say, what can I do, but he had no way to say it. He could only say: "If everything is fine with Monk Tang and his disciples, let everything go with him."
"The World Honored One doesn't know that today's Tang Monk drinks alcohol and eats meat. If this continues, will the Buddha still be a Buddha?" Guanyin told Tang Monk's story.
"Step back! I think about it." Tathagata Buddha said calmly, and then asked Guanyin to step back.
Guanyin wanted to say something but after thinking about it, she still didn't say it. She also knew the difficulties of Tathagata Buddha. After all, there was nothing anyone could do about the son of the Taoist Lord.
After Guanyin left, Tathagata Buddha sighed: "If Dao and Xi continue to mix things up like this, how can I achieve enlightenment, and how can I retire with success? It seems I have to take a trip."
Tathagata Buddha was also helpless. He was forced by Lao Tzu to become a Buddha, but his heart was still Jie Jiao. But now that he wants to attain enlightenment, he needs to forcibly suppress Jie Jiao's heart. Only when his cultivation level is improved can he be unscrupulous. He left Buddhism with three thousand disciples.
