[Journey to the West] Empty Enlightenment Bodhi

Zhu Bajie was a little confused, but Monkey King's painful expression could not be faked, so he couldn't tell for a while.He could only turn around between the two Tang monks, his eyes lingering.

Monkey King jumped up from the ground, regardless of Zhu Bajie's reaction, he just raised the golden cudgel, intending to punish Tang Monk on the spot.

Unexpectedly, the real Tang Seng has come to his senses at this moment, and he only recites the magic spell to prevent Monkey King from moving.

"You Poor Monkey, since you want to kill me, I can't keep this apprentice, you go." Tang Seng chanted the magic spell while driving Sun Wukong away.

Sun Wukong didn't intend to admit the crime, at best, he had another contest: "Since both masters can recite this mantra, why don't we compete again now."

"Compare to what?" The two Tang monks asked Monkey King in unison.

Sun Wukong only said: "Competition with Buddhism. My master is an eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty. He must have a deep understanding and understanding of Buddhism. After all, he can't be worse than my understanding. Why don't we compare this Dharma?" .I wrote the question together with several junior disciples, and the one with advanced Buddhism must be my master without a doubt.”

"I don't compare Buddhism with you. You just showed your killing intent. I don't trust you anymore." Tang Seng, who was almost beaten to death by Monkey King earlier, refused to obey at this moment, resolutely rejecting Monkey King's proposal.

Another Tang monk clasped his palms together and just said, "Amitabha, so good."

"You don't want to compare with Buddhism, you have become a monster, and you are afraid after hearing about Buddhism." Monkey King moved to Tang Seng's side and grinned, "Is it because I eavesdropped on my master's magic spell, which is why I can recite the spell, and everyone knows the spell. But the Dharma doesn’t work. If you refuse to use the Dharma to identify it, you must have a ghost in your heart.”

"I, I have the scripture acquisition document and the customs clearance document." Tang Seng hurriedly expressed his opinion.

"Oh," Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, "Then where is your scripture acquisition document and customs clearance document?"

"In the baggage! On the luggage rack of Drifting Monk, there are documents for learning Buddhist scriptures from the West!" Tang Seng expressed his opinion hastily.

"Oh," answered another Tang monk, "it's a coincidence that my scripture-taking documents are also in Drifting's luggage."

"That's right, Master," Sun Wukong said, "The scriptures for obtaining Buddhist scriptures are things outside the body, and there are countless things to do. The Dharma competition is very good, very good."

"Amitabha, good and good," Bodhi put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name.

Tang Seng hesitated for a while, but still refused: "Wukong, have you forgotten, what did you say when I rescued you from the foot of Wuzhi Mountain?"

"What did I say?" Sun Wukong asked him with a wink.

"You said that you recognized me as a teacher and escorted me all the way to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures. Now it's less than half of the journey, are you going to go back on your word?" Tang Seng had reasons.

Zhu Bajie and Drifting nodded and said: "Brother, this master is real."

Bodhi only sneered and said, "Wukong, don't you forget that we discussed Buddhism with me a few days ago, did we have a good conversation, master and disciple?"

Zhu Bajie and Drifting nodded and said: "Eldest brother, this master is also true."

Tang Seng said again: "Bajie, have you forgotten that you worshiped me as a teacher in Gaolaozhuang? You called out Master in the hall, which frightened the owner of Gaolaozhuang to think that I was your accomplice and cried. "

Zhu Bajie and Drifting said: "Third Junior Brother, what this master said is true." Then he turned his head to Sun Wukong, "Brother, this master is true. That monster must not have known about the earlier incident."

Bodhi continued: "Bajie, have you forgotten to encourage me to recite the mantra a few days ago? You said that Wukong left us and went to the west to learn scriptures by himself, so let me recite the mantra."

"Is there such a thing?!" Sun Wukong grinned and looked at Zhu Bajie.

Zhu Bajie covered his ears, and ran behind Drifting in desperation: "Master, people say that you don't slap people in the face when you beat them, and you don't expose their shortcomings when you expose them. Why do you pick and say things that hurt me, old pig!"

"That's true." Monkey King made a gesture to hit him, but Zhu Bajie hurriedly changed the subject, "That fake Tang Monk, do you have anything to say?"

Tang Seng, who was regarded as a fake Tang Seng, had no choice but to find some past events.

"This monster definitely doesn't know," Tang Seng said, "The white dragon horse under my seat is not a horse, but the Third Dragon Prince of Xihai."

Bodhi also imitated the appearance of the Tang monk earlier, chanting Buddha and said: "Amitabha, the third prince of the West Sea Dragon ate my horse, Wukong went to ask for it, and the third prince had no choice but to become a white horse."

"This—" Tang Seng was speechless, "This monster is really powerful, the poor monk can't beat him, Wukong, Bajie, what should we do?"

Zhu Bajie abducted Drifting Monk, and said in a low voice, "Why do I feel that this wretch is our master?"

Sand Monk also covered his mouth and nose, and whispered back to Zhu Bajie: "I think so too. Only our master can always say, 'Wukong, what should I do?'"

Sun Wukong yelled: "What are you two secretly talking about me?!"

Zhu Bajie Drifting hurriedly stood up straight, pretending to be nonchalant.

"Wukong," Bodhi said in a long voice, "this monster is really hard to deal with, what can you do?"

Sun Wukong scratched his head: "I said to try Buddhism, but you don't agree. What else can I do?"

Putting his palms together, Bodhi said, "Amitabha, goodness is goodness. Why don't we ask Tathagata to identify it."

Zhu Bajie and Drifting stared wide-eyed: "There is no need to argue, no need to distinguish, if it is really a monster, who can secretly go to the Tathagata to identify it. We believe that you are real."

Tang Seng was anxious and afraid: "You go to see the Tathagata, what should I do?"

"It's extreme, it's extreme," Sun Wukong put away the golden cudgel and stood with his hips on his hips, "If you want to see the Tathagata, the Tathagata will have time to see you! Besides, if you can ask the Tathagata Buddha to distinguish the true from the false, that's a good idea." You don’t need to pick up the scriptures, you can just move here!”

"Yes, yes, yes," Tang Seng responded hastily, "Wukong, you are right."

But Bodhi pointed his finger at Tang Monk, and sneered on his face: "This man refuses to argue with me about the Dharma, and he refuses to go to see the Tathagata. He shrinks back and forth. There is no trace of me. You recognize him as me and say Don’t be afraid to make people laugh when you go out!”

"I—" Tang Seng didn't expect Bodhi to bite back, so he was a little confused, "I—"

"Master, don't panic," Sun Wukong reassured everyone, his eyes rolled, and he had another plan, "I have a disciple!"

"Have it?" Zhu Bajie opened his eyes wide, "Master's?"

"Go, go, go," Sun Wukong waved Zhu Bajie away, "I have a perfect identification plan."

"What plan?" The two monks asked Monkey King in unison.

"Master, we can't invite the Tathagata," Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and thought, "We can invite Guanshiyin Bodhisattva to have a look."

"Yes, yes," Zhu Bajie said in a hurry, "Master, why don't we ask Guanshiyin Bodhisattva to have a look. Since you are the person chosen by Guanshiyin to learn the Buddhist scriptures, Master, I think Guanshiyin will not mistake people. Brother Sha, you say yes." no?"

Drifting nodded: "Yes, master. Senior brother, what the second senior brother said makes sense. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is the most fair, and he must be able to distinguish between true and false."

"I can't ride the clouds, how can I find Guanshiyin Bodhisattva." Tang Seng stomped his feet anxiously.

"It's not easy," Monkey King casually pointed at Monk Drifting, "Monk Drifting, please go to the South China Sea and invite Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva to come over. Presumably Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva will be able to distinguish between true and false, and give Master justice."

"Eldest senior brother, second senior brother, I'm going to Lao Sha." Monk Drifting put down his burden, "Take care of Master."

"Master, master," Zhu Bajie muttered, "Where is there any master, it's all monsters, monsters."

"Idiot," Monkey King shouted, "what are you mumbling about?"

"I praise senior brother for being amazing." Zhu Bajie replied with a grunt, leaned against the tree, closed his eyes and went to rest.

"You idiot, why don't you watch Master carefully, why are you sleeping!" Sun Wukong picked up Zhu Bajie by the ear, "Get up now."

"If you want me to say, what scriptures are we learning, let's break up as soon as possible," Zhu Bajie groaned and moved aside to make room for Monkey King. It’s okay, life is over.”

"Idiot," Sun Wukong sat down beside Zhu Bajie, "I said you are an idiot, and you are an idiot. You are an idiot, and I don't know how to climb up to the marshal of the canopy in my previous life. It is really strange that no one eats it."

Zhu Bajie hummed: "Foreign affairs are blessed by God, I am only responsible for marching and fighting."

Sun Wukong laughed for some reason, and Zhu Bajie snorted, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing," Sun Wukong said, "I just remembered that when I ran to peek at Tianyou taking a bath, I ended up touching your room."

"Sneaking at Tianyou taking a bath?!" Zhu Bajie snorted, "You little thief, peeking at me taking a bath is not enough, and you even thought of Tianyou's idea. Hmph, it's a crime you deserve to learn from the West."

"What's wrong with me," Sun Wukong spread his hands, "I didn't steal or rob, I was aboveboard, so I deserved it." Sun Wukong paused for a while, then whispered, "Don't just label me casually."

"How dare I," Zhu Bajie snorted, "for a while, the Bodhisattva will decide, and the hat should also be put on the Bodhisattva's head. After all, it's not like you, Monkey King."

"Hey, it's not right for you to say that." Sun Wukong tried hard to justify himself, "I didn't have any faults in the first place."

Zhu Bajie didn't like to hear it, so he murmured for a long time, "I hate you scheming politicians the most."

"Why am I a politician?" Sun Wukong twisted Zhu Bajie, insisting on understanding, "Tell me, how did I become a politician."

"The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Grandpa the Great Sage," Zhu Bajie snorted and sneered, "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven is not considered a politician? Then tell me, what is a politician?"

The two quarreled endlessly, and the two Tang monks were speechless.

It was the first time that the real Tang Seng heard that the great apprentice was so powerful, and it was the first time that the fake Tang Seng realized that Zhu Bajie was not stupid.

When Drifting came back, everyone looked at each other, speechless and extremely silent.
