Chapter 450 Still Hearing Laughter, No People in the Empty Mountains
"Master, with so many scriptures, let's carry them back and spread them all over the world, isn't that spreading the faith for that old fellow Tathagata?"

At the foot of the upside-down Lingshan Mountain, the second senior brother couldn't help complaining to Tang Sanzan while filling his storage space with scriptures.

Hearing this, Tang Sanzan shook his head and chuckled.

"All appearances are illusory. If you see that all appearances are not appearances, you will see the Tathagata."

The expression on the second brother's face was dumbfounded.

"Master, can we speak more openly?
Old pig, I fell asleep in school all those years ago, so I don’t understand what you said! "

Seeing the appearance of the second senior brother, Tang Sanzan couldn't help kicking him.

"Go back and make up your lessons. It's embarrassing for you to say that you are a poor monk's apprentice."

After kicking the second senior brother, Tang Sanzan still explained to the second senior brother.

"This sentence is a sentence in the Buddhist scriptures. The explanation given by the Buddha is not for the teacher. I will explain my own explanation for the teacher.

This is what the teacher said, and you just listened to it. "

Seeing that the apprentices' attention was on him, Tang Sanzan organized his speech.

"From my teacher's point of view, this sentence means that everything in the world has its own appearance, but the appearance you see in your eyes is just an appearance.

All appearances are nothing but illusory and do not exist in reality, but when you can realize that the appearance is not what it is, when you can see the reality under the appearance of the object, it is the day when you will see the Tathagata and achieve the correct result of cultivation . "

Second Senior Brother nodded thoughtfully, "But... Master, does this have anything to do with our collection of scriptures?"

Tang Sanbu: "."

Another kick landed on the second senior brother's ass, "The meaning of being a teacher is that everything has its appearance, so how do you know that the Tathagata you see is real?
There is no Tathagata in the world, but there is a Buddha in the world. "

At the level of Tang Sanzan, the height of standing is different from that of others, and the vision is naturally different.

Whether it is Buddha or Taoism, in his view, they are just a way to seek Taoism.

There is no right or wrong between Buddhism and Taoism, right or wrong, it is actually the person who interprets the understanding of Buddhism and Taoism.

In this world, the Tathagata has become a legend. In the illusory holy land of Lingshan, there is neither sadness nor joy, and never forgets.

He is the origin of Buddha, he is the belief of Buddhism, but Buddhism will no longer be his Buddhism, but the Buddhism of Buddhism.

His Dharma is no longer the only one in the world, nor is it the truth of Buddhism.

Introducing the old and bringing forth the new, taking the essence and discarding the dross, the real Buddha should be a kind of pursuit, a way to find it, and not like the previous Buddha who tolerated different voices.

Tang Sanzan's master and apprentice collected all the Buddhist teachings in Lingshan, and since returning to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, along the way, based on his own understanding of Buddhism, Tang Sanzan intercepted the essence of Lingshan Buddhist scriptures, gathered them into a book, and added the Tathagata to the world. Take out all the will that belongs to you in Buddhism.

What is left to the world is only the most authentic and original Dharma.

Tang Sanzan did not mix his personal emotions into it, nor did he incorporate his own ideas into it.

Even so, he can become the next Tathagata, and even use this to create an era, a system, and a way.

But any Buddhist teachings mixed with personal thoughts are only one's own teachings.

If such a teaching is spread, no one in the world will become a Buddha.

There is no end to any path.

What the pioneers have to do is to continue to explore, not to imprint their own mark on a road, to blaze a road that the predecessors can only follow, follow behind and never surpass.

After packing the scriptures in Lingshan, Tang Sanzan didn't care about how the Buddhas in Lingshan would clean up the mess.

Without Tathagata, there can still be Amitabha Buddha, Medicine Buddha Buddha, and Maitreya Buddha.

Buddhism has never lacked Buddhas, and naturally, it will not be in danger of being destroyed if it lacks a master of Buddhism.

What's more, that Tathagata will live forever in the holy land of Lingshan, become the eternal belief of Buddhism, and live in people's belief forever.

Dongtu Great Tang, inside the city of Chang'an.

His Majesty Li Er stretched his waist after reviewing a memorial, and the clothes he was wearing slipped off his body.

"Your Majesty, you haven't rested all night, and you're going to court early. Would you like to take a rest first?"

Eunuch Wei, the personal eunuch, picked up Li Er's clothes that fell on the floor, and couldn't help but said with concern.

Li Er moved his stiff neck, turned his head to look at the bright sky outside the door, and couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded.

"There is no need to rest, since I ate the meat left by Yudi, my body has always been able to maintain a peak state.

For the sake of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Yudi traveled a hundred thousand miles to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, and even left me this immortal Tang monk flesh.

If I don't put my heart into keeping the country and the people in the Tang Dynasty safe, how can I be worthy of my younger brother's devotion to me? "

Seeing His Majesty Li Er's exact words, Eunuch Wei couldn't help but wiped the corners of his eyes, and knelt down on the ground with an expression of emotion.

"It is a blessing for the people of the Tang Dynasty to be able to be such a sovereign as His Majesty. On behalf of the millions of people of the Tang Dynasty, I would like to thank Your Majesty for his sages and monks for their hard work in going to the west to learn scriptures for the longevity of my Tang Dynasty."

Although Eunuch Wei's performance had elements of acting, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but sigh a little after watching it.

"Get up."

His Majesty Li Er's eyes were slightly absent-minded, "My younger brother has been away for nearly two years, and now I don't know where he is now. How long will it take before he obtains the scriptures and returns to his hometown?"

As soon as the words fell, His Majesty Li Er's eyes inadvertently swept across the green trees outside the window.

With just one glance, His Majesty Li Er was stunned there.

Tree branch
The branches outside the window all point to the east.

Just when His Majesty Li Er tremblingly raised his finger and pointed out the window, wanting Eunuch Wei to see if he was dazzled, there were bursts of Sanskrit sounds.

The Sanskrit sound seemed to come from the nine heavens, resounding throughout the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty. In this Sanskrit sound, countless creatures seemed to be bathed in the holy light, and they felt that their bodies and minds had been purified.

Those who are weak and sick will recover their health, and those who are healthy will have stronger bones.

At the same time as the Sanskrit sound was sung, flowers fell from the sky and golden lotuses gushed from the ground, and the entire Tang Dynasty, with a radius of tens of millions of miles, seemed to have turned into a kingdom of gods at this moment.

From every household, countless people took to the streets one after another in surprise, feeling the scene of the golden lotus springing from the sky, looking at the big tree whose branches all pointed to the east, a common light was born in everyone's heart. Enlightenment.

The holy monk, the holy monk Tang Sanbu, who went to the West to seek the scriptures for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, went to the west to seek the scriptures, and came back to learn the scriptures!

"Yudi! It's Yudi! Yudi is back!"

His Majesty Li Er didn't care about putting on his dragon robe, he opened the door and rushed out with super-level speed.

"Here's an order to strike the nine-ringing of the Zhenguo bell, and the order will be circulated throughout the entire Tang Dynasty, announcing the grand event of Yudi's return from the Buddhist scriptures.

In Chang'an City, from the age of one hundred to the infant, regardless of whether civil or military officials, men, women, or children, they all followed me to the outside of Chang'an City, and greeted Yudi's return from learning scriptures with the highest standard of honor. "

His Majesty Li Er's order was quickly carried out. A few hours later, Chang'an City was empty of thousands of people, and millions of people gathered outside Chang'an City, facing the west, waiting for the holy monk to return from learning scriptures.

Royal Palace.

Tang Sanbu's master and apprentice lowered the cloud head.

"Your Majesty Li Er, fortunately the poor monk did not disgrace his life, and came back after learning the scriptures."

Tang Sanbu fell to the ground, and his voice spread throughout the palace, but after calling three times in a row, there was still no response.

Tang Sanzan frowned, let go of his consciousness, and found that there was no living person in the palace, and even animals were less than [-]%.

"What's going on? Could it be that my Tang Dynasty died?"

The only thing Tang Sanzun could sense was that millions of people outside Chang'an were standing there like fools looking at Li Er in the west.

"Your Majesty Li Er, why are you standing outside the city like an idiot? Is it the National Day military parade?"

Li Er: "."

Hearing the voice in his ear, Li Er was speechless for a while.

He naturally recognized that it was Tang Sanzan's voice.

just
"Brother Yu? Is that you, Brother Yu? Where are you? Why is there only voice but no one?"

Tang Sanzan waved his hand, and a mysterious light mirror appeared in front of Li Er.

"Your Majesty, what are you guys playing? Are you so laborious?"

Li Er: "." What are we doing, don't you really have a clue in your mind?
"Brother Yu, golden lotuses are springing up from the sky today, and all the branches pointing to the east where the Sanskrit music is sung, I know that today is the day you come back from learning scriptures, so I specially lead the people of the city to welcome Yudi back outside the city.

By the way, brother Yu, where are you now?How soon can I come back? "

Tang Sanbu: "."

"That... Your Majesty, look at the surroundings of the poor monk, do you think it looks familiar?"

His Majesty Li Er: "."

Only then did Tang Sanzhu discover that His Majesty Li Er turned out to be such a person.

He obviously gave him all the scriptures he had sorted out, and he didn't take any money from him, but he still pestered himself, insisting on telling him the story of his journey to the west.

How can I have that time.

Especially, that guy still wants to sleep with him and talk with him.

I made a big fuss, what gender is Li Er himself, doesn't he have a bit of a clue in his heart?
Therefore, Tang Sanzhu, a holy monk of a generation, naturally rejected His Majesty Li Er decisively, casually threw a copy of Journey to the West to His Majesty Li Er, and left the palace with his disciples.

After leaving the palace, Tang Sanzan and the others headed east all the way. After half a month of stop and go, a familiar small town appeared in front of them.

"Master, is this Yan Wang Town in front of you the place where you grew up?"

Tang Sanzan nodded, "That's right, I grew up on the Dead Man's Mountain on the other side of Yanwang Town as a teacher. I think that when I was a teacher, I lived with your ancestors on the mountain for 18 years. Although life was hard, I was happy.

Now it's been more than two years since I left, and my friends who haven't seen Dead Man Mountain for so long, I really miss them as a teacher. "

And it's been two years.

I haven't heard my master's voice since I came to Daughter's Country. I remember that when I ran out to play, every time I came back, I could see my master standing in front of the asylum and watching. I turned around and walked back to the asylum when I came back safely. .

Although the old guy always said that he was not waiting for him, but he was not waiting for him to come back, can he not understand in his heart?
The two-year walk this time should be the longest time I have been away from home.

I don't know if the old Taoist would stand in front of the door and wait for me to come back when I went back to the mountain of the dead and climbed to the door of the madhouse?
Should be?

Maybe now, the old Taoist has prepared a table of his favorite meals, just waiting for him to return to his hometown in glory.

Thinking in his heart, Tang Sanzan led his apprentices to quickly climb up the mountain of the dead.

Halfway up the mountain, Tang Sanzan could no longer bear the excitement in his heart.

"Master, your cutest, most obedient and most filial disciple is back, have you prepared a table of delicious food for him?"

"Master, get on the bus for dumplings and get off for noodles. Although Tuer didn't come back by car, if you didn't prepare a bowl of noodles for Tuer, don't blame Tuer for flipping the table."

"Master."

In front of the lunatic asylum, Tang Sanzan paused.

In front of the familiar door, no familiar person was seen.

Tang Sanzun grinned, "This old fellow."

Kicking open the closed door of the lunatic asylum, Tang Sanzan shouted loudly, "Master, are you playing this trick with your apprentice again? This trick didn't work 18 years ago."

Turned around, but didn't see that familiar figure, Tang Sanzan's tone was somewhat flustered.

"Master, stop playing, play again. I will be angry if I play again!"

It's just that his tone was already flustered like this, but the expected voice still didn't sound.

"Master, are you here?"

The people in the kitchen pushed away, and there was no one in it.

Tang Sanzan glanced around, his eyes fixed on the square table where he had been sitting for 18 years.

On the table, there is a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup.
