I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"But in the end, you failed to survive this disaster."

"No, this disciple thinks that this disciple has successfully survived this calamity.

My Buddha said, Purdue sentient beings.However, if a disciple can't even get over his own heart, or even the people around him, how can he talk about saving all living beings?

The disciples got married this time, in fact, they were also crossing a boundless sea of ​​suffering.

The disciple's heart was crossed, and the queen's heart reached the other shore.If not, perhaps both the disciple and the queen will sink into the sea of ​​misery, unable to extricate themselves for the rest of their lives...

As long as the Buddha is in the heart, the disciple will have a clear conscience..."

"you……"

Guanyin was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

She never expected that Tang Seng would become so eloquent, yet he still had reasons, making it hard to refute.

"Amitabha, if the Bodhisattva thinks that the disciple is wrong, the disciple is willing to accept the punishment. However, the disciple's heart to seek scriptures in the Western Paradise has never wavered. I also ask the Bodhisattva to allow the disciple to continue to go to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek scriptures."

Hearing this, Guanyin couldn't help but sigh: "Well, you are right, this calamity is your destiny.

Now that you have seen through and passed through, it is also a gratifying and congratulatory event.

Next, you need to keep a pious heart, continue westward, and don't be fascinated by the world of mortals. "

Tang Seng was overwhelmed with surprise, and hurriedly said: "Disciple, I would like to follow the teachings of the Bodhisattva."

"Okay, let's continue on our way..."

"Follow the law!"

"This fellow daoist stays for a while, I have something I want to communicate with fellow daoist."

Guanyin glanced at Gu Ming again and said something.

"This is my honor."

Gu Ming replied with a smile.

What exactly to talk about, he can almost guess in his mind.

Sure enough, after Tang Seng and the others left, Guanyin said straight to the point: "Actually, we already know your origin and faction. You are a disciple of Confucianism, but you don't belong to this world..."

"Nothing can be hidden from the Bodhisattva..."

Gu Ming smiled.

"No, you should know in your heart that I can't figure out your origin, but there is one person who knows."

Avalokitesvara did not take credit for this, after all, Gu Ming is not a Tang monk, and it is useless to cover up some things, we can only speak out.

"Well, maybe... When I first came to this world, I was lucky enough to meet my old mother. I was favored by my old mother and accepted a friend who is next to me as a disciple."

"Well, since you are not an ordinary person, then I won't make any detours. What is your purpose in this world?"

Gu Ming thought for a while and said, "Master, whether you believe it or not, I have always respected you and never thought of being your enemy.

Including everything I do now, I never thought about being an enemy.

In fact, what I am doing is the same as what the gods in the sky are doing, that is to educate the people all over the world, let them know how to read and write, let them understand etiquette and law, and at the same time let them strengthen their bodies, and try their best to reduce the harm of patients ..."

These words made Guanyin stunned.

Grabbing territory means robbing territory, and it is so impassioned that it is hard to refute.

Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, although there are differences in philosophy, they have one thing in common, that is, to educate the people and persuade them to be good.

Therefore, what Gu Ming said is also valid.Let the people of the world know the etiquette and abide by the law, the starting point is the same.

However, if you think about it deeply, this is actually an act of fighting against the Buddhist world and the heavenly court.

But what can Guanyin say?

Since ancient times, Confucianism and Taoism have had a deep relationship. There is me in you, and you in me.

The important thing is that in the mortal world, the advantages of Confucianism are quite obvious. Whether it is a king or a group of ministers, including all the students in the world, which one has not been influenced by Confucianism?

Therefore, it is impossible to suppress Confucianism.

However, Confucianism in the past was almost integrated with the folk.

Now, it's different.

Under Gu Ming's guidance, a relatively complete training system has been formed, and disciples are constantly springing up like mushrooms after rain...

If this continues, it will indeed bring a lot of trouble and impact to the Buddhist world of the Western Heaven and the Heavenly Court.

The dominance of the two became a tripartite confrontation.

"Well, your starting point may be good, but have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"Consequences?" Gu Ming replied indifferently: "Elder Tang went to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, and monsters haunted him along the way, but he still stepped out of Chang'an without hesitation, towards the desert, towards the mountains.

This is a belief.

Moreover, I am a disciple of Confucianism, and what I do is to promote Confucianism.

Could it be that, in the eyes of the gods and Buddhas in the Buddhist world of the Western Heaven and the Heavenly Court, Confucianism is a crooked way, and it is impossible to suppress it? "

"This……"

If anyone answers this question, it is impossible to deny Confucianism, whether it is Avalokitesvara, Tathagata, Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun, etc.

Confucianism is the great unification, and it has been used by the kings of all dynasties to govern the world. No one can deny the status of Confucianism.

Gu Ming grasped this point and raised a rhetorical question, making Guanyin unable to answer.

The answer is yes, wouldn’t that negate Confucianism?

She can't bear this pot.

If the answer is no, doesn't it mean that she approves of what Gu Ming has done?

Of course, Gu Ming accepted it as soon as he saw it, and said with a smile: "Bodhisattvas have practiced for many years, and they must also know that a single flower is not spring, and a hundred flowers bloom together to make spring a garden.

In addition, for the common people, take a simple example, the common people can eat rice, they can also eat pasta, they can eat vegetables, they can eat meat...

Pasta can be made into steamed buns, buns, flower rolls, dumplings, noodles and so on.

In leisure time, you can drink some wine, go out for a walk, listen to ditties, go to temples for incense, go to Taoist temples to listen to sermons, and go to bookstores to read books...

Everything in the world is not static.

People's life is also colorful, not limited to a certain way of life.

Even gods cannot force them to eat only rice or pasta. After all, common people have their own freedom and their own pursuits.

Therefore, whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, or some other schools, they all have the right to choose and the freedom of belief.

Moreover, there is nothing wrong with choosing at the same time, just like a table of banquets, there will always be people who like it, people who don’t like it, or all of them..."

These words sounded very straightforward, but they captured the details of life and were well-founded, which made Guanyin a little fascinated.

On weekdays, she lectured the Dharma with her disciples, or went to the Western Heaven Buddhist Realm to listen to the Dharma, or discussed Zen and Dao with the people in the heavenly court, all of which were some profound principles.

Why is it like now, talking seriously with people about some trivial things in the world?

But it is such trivial things in the world that are the foundation of the common people, and there is great truth in the trivial things.

To put it simply, what Gu Ming wants to say is that guests can choose from a table of dishes. If he likes it, he will naturally eat more, and if he doesn't like it, he will eat less.

The deep meaning of the quotation is that no matter it is Confucianism, Buddhism, or Taoism, people have the freedom to choose, and they can even choose all of them. This is not contradictory.

In terms of words, there are not many who can speak better than Gu Ming.

Coupled with the effect of exporting into chapters, it is even more invincible.

"Fellow Daoist is really eloquent, I have learned the lesson, there will be a period later!"

Avalokitesvara bid farewell and left in the air.

However, she didn't really leave, but arrived at a mountain that Tang monk and his disciples must pass through on their westward journey.

Here, there is a goblin cave: Pipa Cave.

There is a scorpion essence in the cave.This scorpion spirit is not an ordinary goblin, it is quite high-level, it is a demon king-level existence.

Moreover, this scorpion spirit also has some background, and has always been regarded as following the rules, wanting to achieve positive results.

As soon as Avalokitesvara arrived outside the cave, the scorpion spirit sensed it and hurried out of the cave.

"Meet Master Avalokitesvara!"

The scorpion spirit saluted respectfully.

"Well, I know that you have always kept the rules and want to achieve a positive result. Now, I will give you a chance..."

……

"Big Brother Yu, Brother Yu..."

Let's say that Tang Seng and his party had just entered the mountain, when suddenly a nine-color deer galloped towards him, and the Queen rode on the nine-color deer and kept calling out to Tang Seng's back.

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Tang Seng froze and turned around slowly.

"Why is this woman still catching up?"

Zhu Bajie couldn't help muttering.

Sun Wukong was suspicious, subconsciously looked with piercing eyes, but found nothing unusual.

Strange, didn't you agree to wait in Daughter Country before you left?Why did this woman chase after her again?

In fact, Monkey King really lost his sight this time...Of course, he is not to blame for this, because this is another test of Tang Seng by Guanyin according to the instructions of Tathagata.

Since Tang Seng has deep affection for the king of her daughter country, Guanyin ordered Xie Zijing to pretend to be a queen to test Tang Seng.

And promised Xie Zijing that as long as she tried her best to play the queen well, no matter what the result was, she would give Xie Zijing a chance to achieve a positive result.

In this regard, the scorpion spirit naturally couldn't wish for it.

In order to prevent Sun Wukong from seeing the real body of the scorpion spirit, Guanyin cast a spell on the scorpion spirit.

Therefore, even Monkey King now thinks that Scorpion Jing is really the king of the daughter country.

But this time it was Tang Seng who was suspicious.

After all, there was a tacit understanding between him and the queen, and he had also made an agreement, but now he broke the agreement and came suddenly, which inevitably made Tang Seng suspicious.

However, before confirming the authenticity, Tang Seng will not show any doubts.

"Your Majesty, how did you catch up?"

"Brother Yu..."

This scorpion spirit is a goblin and a playwright, she burst into tears as soon as she met her, with a faint and resentful look on her face.

"Since you left Daughter Country, my heart has flown away with you... I have no way to leave. If I can't be with you, what is the meaning of my life?"

"Your Majesty, it must not be like this..."

"Brother Yu, this is not a place to talk. There is a palace in the country of daughters in this mountain. It happens that you are also going to rest for a night."

"Yeah……"

Where did Zhu Bajie hear this sentence, he immediately agreed.

"Alright!"

Tang Seng sighed secretly, and followed suit.

"Brother Yu, come up, I'll take you there."

The scorpion spirit was secretly happy, and strongly invited Tang Seng to ride the nine-color deer together.

Tang Seng didn't refuse, after all, he was married to the queen, so it's no big deal to ride together.

However, Sun Wukong had an extra heart and asked, "Why haven't I heard that you have a palace outside?"

"That's right, this palace is rarely used, so I forgot to tell Brother Yu before."

In this regard, the scorpion spirit had already prepared his speech, and he was not afraid of showing his flaws.

The important thing is that her cave has long been transformed into a palace.Moreover, the maids in the palace are themselves women from the Daughter Kingdom.

Some were captured by her, and some were left willingly to serve her.

But whether it is caught or left willingly, it can be regarded as loyal to the scorpion spirit.
