Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

The Arhats and Bodhisattvas in the Daxiong Hall all looked at each other in blank dismay, and seemed a little dazed.

Originally, they hadn't realized it yet. Why did Tathagata say that, isn't it normal to go from Chang'an to Wuzhishan in three days?

But when I think about it being an ordinary person, traveling thousands of miles away in three days, this is too fast!

Maitreya was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect this, which made him a little confused.

After reacting at this time, he immediately frowned, his face a little dignified, "Buddha, from this point of view, I am afraid that Xuanzang practiced magic, but the poor monk once tried him in Chang'an, and he did not have the power and magical powers."

Tathagata said: "Anything is possible, and you are surrounded by psychics, so how can you not have any magic power?"

Then he said: "However, it doesn't matter if he has it. Since he has already been in contact, let him explore it slowly. If he blindly suppresses or directly deprives him, it will only cause rebellion."

All the monks nodded their heads in agreement.

Guanyin was a little guilty, "Buddha, it's all the disciple's fault. He didn't notice this and asked him to practice spells."

Tathagata said: "Journey to the West catastrophe to arrange nine nine 81 disasters is not easy in itself, and in order not to arouse the attention and resentment of various forces in the three realms, and to let Xuanzang know, the best thing that can be done is to have less contact with Xuanzang , it's not your fault!"

Guanyin was very moved.

She did exactly what the Buddha said, and prepared for 81 years to arrange ninety-nine and eighty-one disasters.

In order to keep Xuanzang pure enough, she can only let ordinary people, eminent Buddhist monks, teach Buddhism beside Xuanzang, and she dare not escape the detection.

Since Xuanzang was born, she has only seen it once, that is, when Xuanzang was hunted down by bandits, she shot it herself and delivered it to the eminent monk.

It has never appeared in the future, and everything is left to him to develop freely.

But according to previous calculations, there are still monks praying to the statue every time, Xuanzang is just an ordinary person, he has not practiced any spells, he is the purest Buddhist monk!

How could he know spells? Even if he couldn't spell spells, his physical body was not at the level of ordinary people.

Tathagata said: "In the future, I will be optimistic about Xuanzang. He is the key to the prosperity of our Buddhism. Without him, it will take at least 500 years for my Buddhism to reach its peak!"

All the monks were a little excited.

None of them doubted the Tathagata's words, because Xuanzang was so important, he was a powerful and eminent monk in the world, and he had a very high prestige in the world.

If he can go back with Mahayana Buddhism, Buddhism will definitely become the state religion of the Tang Dynasty, so that most of the people of the Tang Dynasty will believe in Buddhism.

At that time, with the influence of the Tang Dynasty, it will radiate to the nearby countries, and the people of the countries encountered on the westward journey will influence them to believe in Buddhism, so that Buddhism can have a foundation in the world.

Over the past decade or so, the belief in Buddhism has increased sharply, and the Buddhist lineage will become more stable, and it will reach its peak just around the corner.

This is a Buddhist arrangement, because Xuanzang is an ordinary person, no matter how much he tosses in the world, it will not arouse the disgust of others, even if it is disgusting, it is useless.

Human affairs, human affairs.

If the Buddhist sect sends a powerful person to influence a country and make them believe in Buddhism, it will definitely arouse the resentment of other forces. When the time comes, a war between gods and Buddhas will be inevitable.

Therefore.

Xuanzang was the only one who went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures this time.

It was Xuanzang who made Buddhism reach its peak.

Maitreya Buddha said: "Buddha, don't worry, now Xuanzang is escorted by Sun Wukong, killing demons and demons along the way, and propagating Buddhism will definitely make my Buddhism flourish."

Tathagata said: "We still have to watch Xuanzang, we can't let him raise his strength to a level that attracts people's attention, find an opportunity to replace his cassock with the seven wonderful treasure clothes, unless he is a saint, otherwise he will be in front of Daluo, I can't see his strength."

Maitreya Buddha was shocked. The seven wonderful treasure clothes were the treasures of the two sages of Buddhism who received and guided the sages, and they were later given to the Tathagata.

Unexpectedly, Tathagata took it out and gave it to Xuanzang.

That's a lot of money.

Maitreya Buddha was a little envious. With the seven wonderful treasure clothes, not only could he be able to isolate himself from the prying eyes of the saints, but he could also have divine help in his practice.

It is said that when the Tathagata cultivated into the eighth-eighth golden body, he was wearing that precious garment, and if one trick was successful, the world would shake.

Now, give it to Xuanzang.

Maitreya Buddha accepted the order.

Tathagata continued: "Amitabha, Sun Wukong came out, but he beat Jialan and Arhat away. Since this is the case, there is no need to send people to monitor them in the future."

Avalokitesvara endured the discomfort, and quickly said: "Buddha, my disciples think it's wrong. This matter is so important, how can no one watch it? If a monster sneak attack or accidentally hurt Xuanzang, what should we do?!"

Tathagata said: "I've done the calculations. Nine-nine-nine-eight-one disasters are safe and secure. Moreover, there is Monkey King, and there is a white dragon Ao Lie behind him, and he has everything. Then give Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing to him. This trip is safe!"

All the monks nodded.

Even though Guanyin was still a little worried, she still nodded and admitted that this lineup is enough.

Tathagata said: "If you are still not at ease, you will be more concerned about the difficulties ahead. The most important thing is to stabilize Xuanzang's Buddhist heart to learn scriptures from the west, and to stabilize the minds of the disciples around him. Don't let them neglect the great cause. .”

"Report! Buddha!"

Just as the Tathagata finished speaking, the Broad-eyed Bodhisattva outside walked in.

His face was a little ugly, and he said: "Buddha, Xuanzang and Monkey King have set off and left the Wuzhishan territory!"

Tathagata said: "This seat already knows, so there is no need to make such a fuss."

Guangmu Bodhisattva said: "Buddha, but, but Sun Wukong did not worship Xuanzang as his teacher. They call each other brothers and talk about each other!"

Discuss each other? !

Brothers match? !

Inside the Daxiong Palace, there was silence.

Everyone was stunned.

It seems that they didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, completely beyond their imagination.

Tathagata was also surprised, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.

Wei Wei closed her eyes, trying to figure out what happened.

He didn't want to use the supernatural powers of the past and the future, but now that the catastrophe of traveling westward, the way of heaven is hazy, it is very dangerous to use supernatural powers to calculate things related to the catastrophe.

but.

At this time, he had to make some calculations, otherwise, if he made a mistake, it would affect the entire Buddhism.

half an hour.

Tathagata opened his eyes, with a shocked and unbelievable expression on his face, and sighed at the same time, "Sure enough, the catastrophe is becoming more and more difficult to calculate, and I can only calculate some broken pictures. Many key things are blurred and unclear. .”

All the monks were silent.

Tathagata continued: "However, it is certain that Monkey King and Xuanzang have reached an agreement to go west together. Forget it, it doesn't matter if they call each other brothers. Anyway, after 500 years of suppression, I believe Monkey King will not dare to do anything wrong."

Everyone nodded.

Maitreya Buddha said: "Yes, last time the poor monk passed by and warned him, he was very obedient."

Guanyin also said: "Yes, the disciple contacted him twice, and he was very respectful, expressing that he would definitely complete the escort mission."

Tathagata said: "This journey is the best opportunity to influence Monkey King. At that time, he and several others will be drawn into the Buddhist sect, and the momentum of the Buddhist sect will be strengthened."

He sighed, "Originally the master-student relationship was the best, and Sun Wukong escorted him to Xitian, and he was able to enter my Buddhist gate naturally. Now, it is more or less unstable."

With this in mind, Tathagata took out three diamond rings and threw them to Maitreya Buddha together with the precious clothes.

Tathagata said: "These are the three golden rings, all of which are magic weapons. They can be used to help Xuanzang subdue people and be used by him. Of course, if his followers are honest, they don't need it."

Seeing Maitreya Buddha thinking deeply, Tathagata added: "However, Sun Wukong is uncertain, so you can use one. The others depend on your performance."

When Maitreya got the order, he naturally nodded in agreement.

Tathagata said again: "Have all the calamities in place been in place?"

Maitreya Buddha said: "According to Xuanzang's original footsteps, the nine-nine-eight-one disaster will take more than ten years, and the calamities in the middle and late stages have already had karma and will be in place one after another."

Tathagata said: "Amitabha, goodness is goodness."

world.

Xuanzang and Sun Wukong had already embarked on a journey to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures. During this journey, perhaps because they felt that someone was watching, Xuanzang did not move forward with a white horse on his back.

However, the speed is several times faster than that of ordinary people. Many places where he should stop and rest, he directly crosses mountains and rivers.

Not to mention Sun Wukong, if Su Chen hadn't ordered him to take the opportunity to cultivate himself, he probably would have wanted to send the monk to a somersault.

the other side.

After Su Chen left Wuzhi Mountain that day, he didn't return to Yunyuan Mountain immediately.

He went directly to Shepan Mountain.

There is a man in Yingchoujian, Snake Pan Mountain, and he must meet.

Su Chen intends to disrupt the catastrophe of Journey to the West, so that the Buddhist Dharma will be passed to the east, so he has to start everywhere.

Otherwise, relying on Xuanzang's shaky Buddha's heart, and a Monkey King whose reliability is questionable, he is not sure.

In order not to shake his own status and his own interests, Su Chen would absolutely not allow Buddhism to spread eastward.

Taoism and even his Yunyuan Mountain can not be the national religion of the Tang Dynasty, but they can't let Buddhism do it.

The snake coils up the mountain, and the eagle is saddened in the stream.

When Su Chen appeared here, he noticed that there was no formation here, it was just an ordinary landscape.

but.

But Su Chen knew that there was a dragon here.

At the foot of Shepan Mountain, next to Yingshoujian, there is a thatched hut, and an old man is fishing.

With Su Chen's eyesight, he could tell right away that the old man was not simple, he had mana, and he was probably the watchman who trapped Xiao Bailong here.

It's just that Su Chen didn't know whether the old man was from Heaven or Buddhism.

Su Chen took the initiative to say hello, "Old man, there are beautiful mountains and clear waters here, and there is no one around, why did you end up here?"

The old man didn't turn his head back. There are often people passing by here, always asking some strange questions. If he doesn't pay attention, the pedestrians will naturally get bored and leave.

but.

Seeing that he was silent, Su Chen said, "So he is deaf."

The old man got angry and turned his head to stare at Su Chen, but was also surprised by Su Chen's pretty face.

But he still glared at Su Chen.

Seeing this, Su Chen said: "It seems that he is not deaf, but he doesn't speak, he may be dumb."

The old man became even more angry, and he scolded: "What a rude boy, the old man advises you to leave quickly."

Su Chen said: "Why?"

The old man said: "Because it's almost time to eat."

Su Chen said: "It's the old man, do you want to eat?"

The old man said: "It's not the old man, but the thing in this pool."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Fish in the pond?"

The old man was silent.

Su Chen continued to talk to himself: "It doesn't matter, the old people are here, it's better for everyone to eat together."

The old man hehe said: "It's hard to persuade you damn ghost, the old man has already let you go, but you are still here. When the time comes to die, don't blame the old man for not persuading you!"

Su Chen chuckled, and said, "Thank you for your concern, old man. Actually, I also want to see how bad the dragons in this water are. They actually feed on passers-by."

Ok? !

The old man's whole demeanor changed. He suddenly looked at Su Chen and looked him up and down, but he couldn't see anything unusual.

He frowned and said, "I don't think the old man has misjudged me. How dare you ask who is Your Excellency?"

Su Chen smiled, and said: "There is a cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Temple in Yunyuan Mountain, whose dao name is Wugou, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty bestowed him a side-by-side king."

The old man was stunned, and searched in his mind, but he didn't have the impression of Su Chen.

"It's rare for an immortal cultivator in the world to have such abilities as a fellow daoist. I think fellow daoist has also seen the difference. The things in the water are not simple. Let's go."

The old man suggested Su Chen to leave again, but Su Chen looked calm and said, "Since it's so dangerous, why is the old man still here?"

The old man said: "The old man is here to gain a chance."

Su Chen said, "What chance?"
