Chapter 503: Poor Monk, Tang Sanzang
"I knew it was difficult to travel to the West at an early age, but I still wanted to save the world. Tsk, this is not good."
Su Lin turned his head and looked at the monkey while talking to himself: "Wukong, how do you think your teacher should recite the poem? What do you think of 'Under the Danghun Mountain, the Pluto weeps, the immortal wanders and the Buddha heads west'?"
Meng Qi covered his head and said, "Stop reading it."
"Master, please stop chanting. We are a little scared." Lu Mingfei even wanted to go up and cover Su Lin's mouth.
Why did the other team cooperate with Su Lin so well? If he played, everyone would be uncomfortable.
At the Great Leiyin Temple on the top of Lingshan Mountain, Helbach frowned slightly.
Become a master?
Does he mean that he is the Tathagata?
Is this implying that Danghun Mountain is ultimately a sacred mountain, and he has the final say?
Helbach narrowed his eyes slightly. He was worthy of being the leader of Buddhism. No one could match him in eloquence.
He waved his hand and said to the group of returning team members behind him: "Help them complete their journey west."
“We are still missing eight Bodhisattvas, four Vajras, five hundred Arhats, three thousand Jietis, eleven great stars, and eighteen monasteries.” Poxun stepped out, his body transformed into the true form of Tathagata, sitting cross-legged on a black lotus, with great salvation and great wisdom all around him.
Even though his own strength was restricted by the Nine Cauldrons, he was now able to display his great magical powers, though it consumed a lot of energy.
A ball of Buddha's light expanded between the eyebrows, and it burst like a bubble that was blown up, disappeared like a morning dewdrop, and flashed by like lightning - this was a dream.
The scene of Lingshan before the disaster reappears on earth.
The power of Hades in Helbach's hand turned into chains, burst out, and wrapped around the bodies of every Titan, controlling them for a short time.
In essence, this group of incomplete Titans are also prisoners of the underworld, but because of their immortality and individual strength, they cannot be controlled for a long time.
At this moment, there was no fighting on the entire battlefield. The immortals, gods, demons and monsters took the opportunity to regulate their breathing and take elixirs. The three monsters from the Lion Camel Ridge flew to the Great Leiyin Temple on the Lingshan Mountain with fear in their eyes.
Including the Confucian scholar, all beings cast their eyes on the "seeker" at the foot of Lingshan Mountain.
On the golden lotus, the Buddha Posun, who was perfect in merit and wisdom and whose Dharma body was pure, spoke: "Donors Sak and Honkawa, the two of you will transform into Ananda and Kasyapa and lead the five people into my Great Leiyin Temple."
"Yes." Ananda and Kashyapa, who were replaced by the two reincarnations, walked out wearing golden monk robes.
They stepped on the pure glazed lotus and came from the top of Lingshan Mountain, where the pagoda was visible and the Udumbara flowers were fragrant, to the gate of Leiyin Temple, and watched from afar the master and his disciples who were seeking the scriptures walking towards them leisurely.
"Greetings to the holy monk." The two men put their hands together and bowed to each other.
With Mu Yan's reminder, they should at least avoid offending each other with the details.
“Are you Ananda?”
Sack heard the voice and looked up.
The person who plays Sun Wukong, who is either Taishang or Lingbao, swings the black iron rod in his right hand and gently hits his left hand, as if he is weighing something.
"Yes." Sak nodded and extended his hand to invite: "Please come this way, everyone. After meeting Muni, we will talk slowly."
"Hey!" Meng Qi jumped forward like a monkey.
Su Lin walked up to Sak and stopped.
Sack suddenly felt something was wrong. Two of his teammates had died at the hands of this 'Tathagata'. He was afraid that he would anger the other party at this critical moment, so he quickly lowered his head.
Su Lin patted the bald head of the reincarnationist and said in a gentle voice: "Poor child, if a fight breaks out later, you'd better run away. You can try again if you fail the mission, but if you lose your life, you're really gone."
The opponent was confused and thought Su Lin was threatening him. Only Su Lin knew that if a fight broke out, Monkey's Q would most likely cause critical damage to this Reincarnator.
"I have been seeking the true fruit in my heart, and today I finally see the Tathagata." The five people came to the front of the Great Hall. Su Lin inserted the nine-ring staff beside him, held the Buddha's hand with one hand, and asked:
"Tathagata, where is the true scripture?"
At this point, Su Lin naturally had to accompany these people to complete the last scene.
Po Xun said: "Sanzang, let me ask you"
Boom!
The canopy of the main hall was shattered, revealing a huge palm print.
"Where is the scripture?" Su Lin asked with a smile.
Po Xun was silent for a moment. He was very curious about what kind of world could give birth to such a Tathagata Sakyamuni. Not to mention Buddha, this kind of person was like a gangster in the mortal world, who would attack at the slightest disagreement.
"I have a collection of Dharmas that discuss heaven, a collection of treatises that discuss earth, and a collection of sutras that discuss saving ghosts. There are thirty-five volumes in total, totaling 15,144 volumes."
Above the main hall, there was suddenly a rosy glow of auspicious air, covering the entire sky. Volumes of Buddhist scriptures piled up and appeared in front of Su Lin.
Su Lin and Meng Qi stepped forward and randomly picked out the basics. The two of them looked through each other's books and confirmed that these scriptures could be used for cultivation and were indeed complete Buddhist methods.
Astronomy, geography, people, birds, beasts, flowers and trees, all things in the world are included.
"The goods are fine." Su Lin flipped through a Buddhist scripture at a speed as fast as quantum reading. "The purity is also good."
"It's the same here. We can practice." Meng Qi nodded. He always felt that Su Lin's words were a little strange.
In this way, Daliang Lingshan will become the real Lingshan of the Western Heaven in the future.
Su Lin waved his hand and put the scriptures back, intending to pack them up and take them away later. A smile reappeared on his face: "This is an immeasurable merit. The people of the world will be grateful to the Buddha Tathagata. Good, good."
When Po Xun heard that the other party mentioned the common people in the world, he smiled and said, "Sanzang, let me ask you, if the common people are sinking into hell and suffering from evil, what should the Buddha do?"
"Buddha has compassion on all living beings. He should sacrifice himself to join the game because he is worshipped by all living beings." Su Lin replied.
Po Xun said with satisfaction: "Good!"
He called over Kasyapa, who was holding a nine-ring staff and four tight hoops in his hands, and placed them in front of Su Lin.
"I pity the calamities in the heavens and mourn for all living beings. I cannot bear to see them fall into hell and suffer evil. All their desires are for salvation. The harm in the abyss is too painful. Tathagata, you should have the same great wish." Poxun's expression was so dignified. He spoke of his great wish and his whole body was bright and clean.
"I hope your Excellency will grant me this." Helbach stood up from the throne, passed by the Grim Reaper who was guarding him, and said:
"Since our team was established, there have been eleven people in total, and six are still alive. As long as this mission can be completed, the disasters and hidden dangers in the nine worlds can be eliminated."
"I hope the Master will be merciful."
"I know a thing or two about this." Su Lin smiled and pointed at the shadow hidden under Helbach's feet: "So, you have become a hidden danger to this world?"
Helbach took a picture of a burning mass of souls and said:
"I have proposed to use the Supreme Contract produced by the Samsara Space to reach an agreement with the rulers of this world."
"This world's fall into the abyss is inevitable. After we complete our mission, we will only use this world as our base. We will not interfere with their reincarnation and return, nor will we suppress their power."
“You are also a reincarnationist, so you naturally know that in the near future, as long as our team still exists, the gap between us and these indigenous gods will become wider and wider. I will naturally not take them seriously.”
Halbach was full of confidence when he said this, and the ambition in his eyes was undisguised.
"The Emperor of Heaven is stubborn, and so are the others." Po Xun shook his head: "Why is it so? The donors also have their own difficulties. They are not demons but the saviors of the common people."
Su Lin clapped his hands and praised: "You have a heart of Buddha, brave Buddha, go and save the world."
Seeing Su Lin's casual attitude, Helbach was not annoyed and continued, "You are welcome to ask for any conditions. I understand that there is no free lunch in the world."
"Why did I hear people say that there are immortal products, immortal food, immortal tea, immortal fruit and all kinds of delicacies for us masters and disciples to enjoy at the Great Leiyin Temple in Lingshan?" Su Lin looked at Meng Qi and asked, "Wukong, who said this?"
"Probably Wu Chengen said that." Meng Qi said expressionlessly while scratching his lice.
Po Xun put his hands together, and the golden light of precious flames shone brightly. Some nuns quickly set up offerings and laid out a vegetarian banquet filled with exquisite immortal products.
Su Lin sat down at the main seat without hesitation and took the lead in picking up his chopsticks: "It tastes good, it's all real immortal food, disciples, let's eat together."
He pointed at the other samsaras and Po Xun with his chopsticks and said, "Sit down and eat, otherwise the food will get cold. And you guys, don't hide, come and eat with us."
Behind the gray stone carved pillars of the hall, several teams of reincarnations walked out, but they just stood quietly aside in two rows.
The natural result was that except for the five of them, no one else sat at the table and stood by on guard.
After Su Lin and the others had eaten and drunk their fill, Boxun asked with a smile, "How was it?"
"It tastes good, but it's a pity..." Su Lin smacked his lips twice and said, "It's like coughing after smoking a pack of fake Hua Zi. This is not the food made by my royal chef brother. It's a bit choking in the throat when I eat it."
"I have some authentic Huazi here." The reincarnator wearing a leopard skin handed over a pack of cigarettes and said, "No coughing."
Su Lin looked at the other person with some surprise: "I don't smoke, I was just making an analogy."
Reincarnationists really have all kinds of elements.
"What are you dissatisfied with?" Wei Wu asked.
"Let me think about it." Su Lin put down his bowl and chopsticks, picked up the teacup and blew on it, then said:
"When I was in the Tang Dynasty in the East, I didn't like the way Ayin and Xiaomu spoke to me. They even threw away my Mahayana Buddhism."
Helbach glanced at Mu Yan and said nothing, but frightened her so much that she trembled all over.
Wei Wu said seriously: "I apologize to you on their behalf."
"Then can you also apologize to all living beings in this world?" Su Lin took a sip of the immortal tea and asked, "Those Buddhists who were devoured by you, the souls that turned to ashes, and the mortals who died in this turmoil."
"Go ask them and see if they accept it."
"Even as we speak, you are still secretly strengthening yourself with those souls, aren't you? We eat vegetarian food, and you eat soul food."
Po Xun smiled and said, "Shakyamuni, you are still as compassionate as ever. There is no need to question the laymen's actions in the face of major issues."
"I am not Sakyamuni." Su Lin raised the staff in his hand.
“Master Sanzang.” Helbach said in a deep voice: “No matter who you were before, you are now a reincarnation, and this is not your own world! Please don’t forget this!”
"Hehe." Meng Qi squatted on the chair, pulled the corner of Shi Hao's clothes that was bulging with his belly, and laughed, "My master's meaning is so obvious, but you still don't understand. You are even dumber than this idiot."
“Big Brother, I’m going to beat you up later.” Shi Hao patted his belly and said, “What my master meant was that there is more than one way to cook a dish, but if the ones you cook are not to his taste, he won’t be happy eating them.”
Po Xun sighed: "This is a necessary sacrifice."
"I don't like to preach. After all, everyone has different perspectives. Some people see Tathagata, while others see Mara." Su Lin put down the teacup in his hand, crossed his legs, and said leisurely:
"Your mission is to fall into the abyss, but you said it yourself, this world is destined to fall into the abyss, so isn't that a win without any effort?"
Wei Wu explained: "We need to be highly involved and even advance progress in order to get a higher evaluation. This is related to the resources our team will obtain after promotion."
"I understand." Su Lin nodded and said:
"Only if you have resources can you become stronger and protect the things you want to protect. You have to sacrifice something to protect it. From a selfish point of view, there are many things that can be sacrificed."
"By the same token, you turned a group of strange souls into nutrients for your own side, and it didn't involve the interests of the superiors. You are probably still wondering why the saints of this world would not cooperate with you."
What Su Lin said was indeed what other reincarnationists were thinking, but they believed that it was the so-called "dignity" that was having an impact.
But then, Su Lin changed the subject:
"If the sacrifice of a strange mortal planet can bring progress to countless universes, do you think it is reasonable? All they have to do is contribute everything they have to bring progress to the heavens and the worlds."
“The only problem is that these people who were sacrificed could not express any opinions and had no way to decide the direction of things.”
this problem
There is basically nothing to hesitate about, as long as this planet has nothing to do with you or you will not be destroyed with it.
"You almost led me in." Helbach covered his forehead with his hands, his eyes slightly cold:
"Sir, we are already very sincere. If you want to show mercy, why don't you show some pity to other worlds?"
"All you have to do is take a step forward and stand on this side, and I guarantee that there will be no more casualties in this world, and I will not touch those immortals and gods either."
Li Huowang gestured with his thumb and said, "I understand everything, why are you still talking about mercy?"
Su Lin pushed the chair away and stood up. Everything in front of him disappeared with a "pop".
"Then let's put it in simpler terms." Su Lin wiped his oily fingers on his cassock and looked up.
"I don't like it, that's all. As for whether you have any difficulties, there are many people in the world who have difficulties. If you go to the prison, you will find that they have their own difficulties."
"It is said to be all-encompassing, spanning countless universes and time and space. There is only one way to save the world. Are you kidding me?"
"Look, if you want to talk about benefits, don't talk about principles. If you want to talk about principles, don't talk about benefits. If you want to tell me everything, you are probably trying to PUA."
After Su Lin finished speaking, the people around him also took up their positions and retreated behind Su Lin.
"Can't you just complete the mission and leave?" Wei Wu asked unwillingly.
"Isn't this poor monk on a mission?" Su Lin's lips curled up into a smile: "The journey to the West is not over yet."
Po Xun said: "If so, then you are Tripitaka. Tripitaka preaches compassion, but you don't preach it. How can you obtain the true scriptures?"
Similarly, the scriptures also disappeared.
But then Po Xun was stunned. He found that the mixed substances of Buddha's desire that flowed into the other party's body through eating were like a stone sinking into the sea, without any movement.
The palace radiates rosy clouds, the eaves emit purple flames, and white cranes fly auspiciously over the top of the sacred mountain.
Without any warning, light suddenly exploded!
As the extremely gorgeous purple flames fell like rain, thunderous questions resounded through the world:
"Tang Sanzang! Do you really want to destroy this world and other worlds?!"
"Can you bear to see sentient beings suffer in the endless hell?!"
"Have you forgotten the five hundred vows you made to save all living beings?!"
The five hundred great original vows refer to the five hundred vows that Shakyamuni Buddha made in front of Treasure Treasury Buddha when he was in the causal stage as the Brahmin Ratnakara.
The light gradually dissipated, Lingshan Mountain fell into ruin, and right above the Great Leiyin Temple, a monk dressed in luxurious purple robes held a staff in his hand and slapped downwards with his right hand, making a series of Buddhist seals.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With every attack, colorful meteors and fire rain flew, and the aftermath surged in the void. Above the treasure pagoda, a huge black lotus was chaotic and illusory, flickering unsteadily, and several Styx rivers were rushing, rushing towards the sky like a dragon to block the space.
"Sanzang? Wrong."
Su Lin stopped moving, and the whitest and purest Buddhist text condensed. A round light symbolizing countless merits of saving the world appeared behind his head. Sanskrit sounds rang out layer by layer, and the grand and solemn voice echoed in every corner of heaven and earth.
“Since all living things suffer, then…”
I saw an infinitely tall Buddha statue standing proudly in the world, one hand pointing to the sky and the other to the earth, showing his arrogance:
"I, Tang San, am burying the sky, the earth, and all living beings!"
