[Journey to the West] The 500 Years of Feeding Master

◎The Dharma is boundless. ◎

How can this be good?

Monkey King has already looked them inside and out, but he just can't tell them apart.

Ji Tao asked some more questions, such as the conversation when they first met, and what stories Tang Sanzang told her.However, these two Tang Sanzang actually knew about these things.In desperation, Ji Tao had no choice but to propose to take the two Tang Sanzang to see Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva of the South China Sea, maybe the Bodhisattva can tell the difference.

When everyone summed it up, it was also the same reason, and when they asked Tang Sanzang again, they both had no objection, and it seemed that they were both true and confident.

In this way, a group of people flew all the way to the South China Sea and saw Guanyin, but Guanyin couldn't tell which one was the real Tang Sanzang.Such a big event happened, especially when the monster was changed into the appearance of Tang Sanzang. Thinking that he was called the monster master, Monkey King scratched his head anxiously, Guanyin couldn't tell, so he simply brought the real and fake Tang Sanzang to meet him. their gods.

After tossing like this for a whole day, none of the gods and Buddhas could recognize the real Tang Sanzang.No matter whether it is the real Tang Sanzang or the fake Tang Sanzang, they are already exhausted. With a mortal body, they have traveled a hundred and eight thousand miles in a day, and both of them are so tired that they can’t breathe. Although Sun Wukong I was anxious, but I didn't dare to make fun of Tang Sanzang's body, so I had to take them back to the original place to rest.

At night, when the two Tang Sanzang were fast asleep, Ji Tao and the others gathered together, and Zhu Bajie said, "Brother Monkey, what should we do? Is it possible that we really want to take the two masters to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures?"

"What two masters?! A mere monster dares to be my master of Sun Wukong, wait for him to show his true form, and see if I don't kill him." Sun Wukong glared at Zhu Bajie, "Isn't it all your fault? Master, you are sleeping in there! This is why the monsters have an opportunity to take advantage of!"

Zhu Bajie defended a few words weakly, but also knew that it was his mistake, so he didn't dare to speak loudly.

"But what kind of monster has such supernatural powers? Even the big brother's piercing eyes, and even the gods and Buddhas in the sky can't recognize him? Are there such monsters in the Three Realms?" Sha Wujing pondered.

"Yes, I have never heard of such a monster."

As the youngest and the least knowledgeable, Ji Tao naturally didn't speak.

When the few people were frowning, the voice of the Three Holy Mother Yang Chan came from the sky, and in a blink of an eye, she came to the front stepping on the auspicious clouds.Ji Tao hurriedly called out "Sister Yang Chan", and Yang Chan said, "Little Taoer, why didn't you know that something like this happened to me?"

Ji Tao said: "I wanted to go to see my sister, but Shigong was too tired, so I had to go back and rest first."

"How could such a thing happen?" Yang Chan glanced at Tang Sanzang who was sleeping soundly, and said, "It really is exactly the same."

"Three Holy Mother, what can you do?" Sun Wukong asked.

Yang Chan then said: "I don't know if it will work. It's just that my lotus lamp is an innate treasure, maybe I can give it a try."

Everyone knows the ability of Baolian Lantern, Sun Wukong's eyes lit up, he thought it might be a solution, so he hurriedly asked Yang Chan to try it.

Holding the lotus lantern, Yang Chan came up to Tang Sanzang, recited the mantra, and saw a soft light tightly wrapping the two Tang Sanzang, Yang Chan's face changed slightly, and after a while, the light remained unchanged.In the expectant eyes of several people, Yang Chan said guiltily: "No, the Lotus Lantern can't tell which one is the real holy monk. Great Sage, Xiao Taoer, what have you encountered these days? How did it happen? Such a thing?"

Zhu Bajie interrupted and said: "What else can happen..." After talking about the things along the way, Zhu Bajie said again, "It's not right to come out of the country of daughters. If you want me to tell you, Master, he must have given birth to a demon. Most likely, he was moved by the king of the Daughter Kingdom. When I saw what happened in the past two days, my heart was in a state of confusion, and I was thinking about it. Didn't the demons come out?"

"Bajie, don't talk nonsense!" Sun Wukong patted his pig's ear.

Yang Chan was noncommittal to Zhu Bajie's words, but said to Sun Wukong: "Great Sage, I heard that there is a beast of truth listening under the seat of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the underworld, which can hear and distinguish everything in the world and understand people's hearts. When I saw Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I would not know if I listened carefully... The holy monk is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of the Tathagata World Honored One, and the World Honored One must be able to recognize it."

Upon hearing this, Monkey King immediately thanked Yang Chan again.

Yang Chan said again: "Now that the Tang Dynasty is in its prime, there is nothing serious about Mount Hua. It just so happens that I haven't talked to Xiao Tao'er for a long time. I'll go with you tomorrow."

Ji Tao couldn't wish for it, the two haven't seen each other for a long time, and they both miss each other very much.

After discussing the solution, everyone calmed down a bit, Ji Tao and Yang Chan went aside to talk, and the four brothers Sun Wukong also took a break and did not mention it.

Early the next morning, after eating the vegetarian meal, Sun Wukong, Ji Tao and Yang Chan took the real and fake Tang Sanzang to the underworld together.Zhu Bajie and the others stayed behind to guard the luggage.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva lived in secluded places, and when they arrived in the underworld, they first met Lu Feng, the King of Equality. They hadn't seen each other for a long time since Fengdu said goodbye last time. When they heard about the intention of Monkey King and others, Lu Feng said, "You guys are here. What a coincidence, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva seldom shows up, and he was not in the underworld a few days ago, and you came back after only three days. I will take you to see the Bodhisattva."

"Thank you so much. It just so happens that I don't have to trouble King Yama." Sun Wukong glanced at Lu Feng with a half-smile.

After what happened last time, Lu Feng's emotions towards Sun Wukong were somewhat complicated. He chuckled lightly and replied, "You are probably the person King Yama doesn't want to see the most."

"You don't understand, Yama and I don't know each other without fighting."

Lu Feng sneered, and lazily ignored the monkey, but said to Ji Tao: "Xiao Tao, is everything okay?"

"Everything is fine, thank you Master Lu for your concern."

Lu Feng nodded, stopped talking, and quickly led them to the residence of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the most merciful, and once he heard their intentions, he lent them the listening beast.This truth listens to the animal's life—it has a tiger's head, a one-horn, dog's ears, a dragon's body, a lion's tail, and a unicorn's feet.It obeys the will of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and walks to the true and false Tang Sanzang.After listening for a while, he stepped aside, and Sun Wukong asked anxiously, "Listen to the Beast, can you recognize my master?"

The Truth Listening Beast just shook its head, and retreated to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's side in fear.

"Listen to the Beast, what are you hiding?" Sun Wukong asked puzzled.

The Truth Listening Beast whimpered and leaned into Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's ear and said a few words, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said to Sun Wukong: "Great Sage, your master was originally Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of the Tathagata, who came down to earth. The description of the two of them is the same, and there is no difference in mind and nature. If you want to distinguish, you have to go to the Buddha Shakya Tathagata in Leiyin Temple to understand."

"I expected that the listening beast might not be able to tell the difference. I have already planned to do so." Sun Wukong moved his eyes slightly, thanked Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and said, "Bodhisattva, I am taking Master to Leiyin Temple. .”

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded slightly, and everyone left one after another.Lu Feng stayed on, since the last time Ksitigarbha came to help, he came back after many calamities, and he often came to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.Although Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the lord of hell, he seldom interferes with the affairs of the underworld. Therefore, although Lu Feng is the King of Equality, the two have never had official contacts. .

"Bodhisattva, did the Listening Beast really fail to distinguish which one is the holy monk?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled slightly and said, "The Dharma is boundless."

Lu Feng was slightly surprised, and he knew it, so he didn't ask any more questions.

But it is said that Monkey King brought the real and fake Tang Sanzang to the Leiyin Temple in the Lingjiu Xianshan in the West Heaven.Ji Tao followed them, and saw the vulture fairy mountain surrounded by auspicious clouds, surrounded by Buddhist music and fairy music. At that time, the Tathagata, the World Honored One, was teaching the Bodhisattvas, Vajras, Arhats, etc., saying: There is nothing in nothing, and there is nothing in nothing. none.No □□, not empty empty.Not to be to be, not to be to be not to be...

Ji Tao also often listens to Tang Sanzang's chanting, but her heart seldom fluctuates. Hearing the Tathagata's teaching now, she feels joy in her chest for a while, and her mind bursts for a while. Countless Buddhist voices.It is exactly what "form has no fixed form, and form is emptiness. Emptiness has no fixed emptiness, and emptiness is form. Knowing emptiness is not empty, knowing form is not form. It is called enlightenment, and then you can reach the wonderful sound."She resisted the discomfort in her body and followed Monkey King.

Sun Wukong cared about Tang Sanzang all his heart, but he didn't notice that something was wrong with Ji Tao.

Ji Tao saw Monkey King coming forward to talk to Tathagata, and saw Tathagata smiling with a flower, shadows in front of her eyes, and buzzing in her ears, she didn't know what they said, what the Buddhas were laughing at, her hands suddenly felt warm, it was right Catching Yang Chan's concerned gaze, she said, "Xiao Taoer, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Taoqiang held up his smile and said, "Maybe I'm a little tired, and I feel a little uncomfortable. It's okay."

She looked ahead again, only to see that the real and fake Tang Sanzang had already shown their true form, and the fake Sanzang turned into a bee trying to escape, but asked Tathagata to suppress it with a golden bowl.Monkey King stepped forward to uncover it, but saw that it was a thick black mist, which disappeared in a short time.

For a while, the fake Sanzang disappeared, and the real Sanzang thanked the Tathagata and all the gods and Buddhas.

Tathagata told him to get the scriptures for a good life, and let them leave.In this way, Tang Sanzang and his party kowtowed their thanks again and again, bid farewell to the Buddhas and left.Before leaving, Ji Tao looked at the Tathagata, and met the benevolent eyes of the Tathagata, Ji Tao was taken aback for a moment, and could only smile at the Buddha, then turned and left.

On the way back, everyone sighed at the monster pretending to be Tang Sanzang. Ji Tao listened to them, and then realized that the monster was also an innate monster, invisible and invisible, but could hear all directions and know everything in the world.It was only by chance that he pretended to be Tang Sanzang.

Ji Tao always felt that this monster came a little strangely, but the gods and Buddhas have said so, so it can be regarded as a conclusion.

As soon as the incident was over, Yang Chan also left, and after Monkey King and the others returned, Zhu Bajie and the others were amazed when they heard this, and because Tang Sanzang was quite frightened, Zhu Bajie graciously helped him to rest.

Sha Wujing and Ao Lie went to ask for alms so that Sun Wukong and Ji Tao could also rest well.

After the two of them left, Ji Tao just wanted to sit down, but felt her body go limp, Sun Wukong happened to be at the side, hugged her tightly, and asked with concern: "Taoer, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Tao was really in pain, so she told the truth: "I heard the Buddha's voice in Lingjiu Mountain today, and my body felt very strange. Master... I feel so uncomfortable..."

Sun Wukong then asked: "Taoer, what's wrong with you? I'll take you to Jiuchongtian to ask the Supreme Lord for the elixir!"

Ji Tao grabbed Sun Wukong's sleeve and said: "At this moment, there are mountains, rivers and lakes in my mind, spring, summer, autumn and winter, joys and sorrows in my ears, and constant noise...Master...I feel like my body is about to explode..."

Monkey King didn't know what was going on, but suddenly he heard thunder rumbling from the clouds!

Sun Wukong's face changed drastically, and he said: "Oops, could it be that you want to advance to the rank of Mahayana?! You have only been promoted to the void for a year or two, and now it is definitely not a good thing to advance to the rank of Mahayana! How can you survive this thunder calamity?!"
