In the Heavens

Doubts are doubts, as a cautious monkey, Sun Wukong is not the master of meddling. Whether Tang Sanzang awakened the memory of his previous life in advance, or was affected by other factors, it is none of his business.

Not to mention Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, the Moyu King duo has always said that more things are worse than less things, unless the sky is falling, otherwise it has nothing to do with them.

It's just that they can ignore it, but Buddhism can't ignore it. After discovering Tang Sanzang's abnormality, Wufang Jiedi immediately reported the information, which immediately attracted Lingshan's attention.

No matter what the reason is, Tang Sanzang has started to kill, and there are signs of becoming more and more addicted, which is not a good thing.

Especially now that all the great masters of Buddhism are listening to the sermon in Mount Taihua, all that is left is the avatar. If something happens, it will be difficult to hold back the situation.

As for notifying the Buddhist masters who have heard the Tao to come back, they don't wait for such a play if they want to die. Hunyuan monks preached for the first time since the beginning of the world, and asking them to give up listening to the preaching is no less than destroying the way of human beings.

Almost endless hatred, who dares to try it easily?

Unless Buddhism is at the point of life and death, the white-robed Tathagata (good corpse) will not do that. After all, if other Buddhist masters return early, his deity can only come back with him, and he will also lose the opportunity to listen to the Tao.

Seeing that the invasion of foreign demon gods is approaching, if he misses this opportunity, he will not only have to widen the gap with all the prehistoric powers, but may even lose his life in the ensuing changes due to lack of strength.

"Puxian, Manjusri, when you saw Tang Sanzang last time, did you notice anything unusual about him?"

The white-robed Tathagata asked concerned.

After hearing the Buddha's question, Pu Xian and Manjusri looked at each other and smiled wryly. The last time they met a pilgrim, it was in Shituoling. They were so busy arguing with Wuqu Xingjun that they didn't care about Tang Sanzang.

"To the Buddha, the two of us did not experience Tang Sanzang's abnormality. Presumably it must have been hidden too deeply, or it may have changed later."

Puxian illustrates all possibilities with the right nonsense.

I don't know when Buddhism began to become secularized. It is said that the monks are all empty, but the political games of the officialdom in the world have spread from the human world to Lingshan.

Affected by this, all the Buddhas became hypocritical. No matter when and where, everyone is deliberately hiding themselves and likes to put on a hypocritical face.

Tathagata is naturally clear about this change. But there is no way. Buddhism practices reincarnation and advocates the practice of afterlife. Many gods and Buddhas have reincarnated into the human race.

Every reincarnation returns has a lot of gains, but also after each reincarnation, some secular habits will also be contaminated.

Over time, the current Buddhism has been formed. It is obviously impossible to go back to the past.

Glancing at the two of them, the Tathagata in white robe sighed and said: "Let Wufang Jiedi pay close attention to the changes in Tang Sanzang, and report to me immediately if there is any possibility of affecting the process of learning Buddhist scriptures."

It can be seen that the white-robed Tathagata does not want to handle it so lightly. But there is no way, he personally calculated about Tang Sanzang, but found nothing abnormal.

All the questions point to one possibility—the memory of the previous life has been revived. The white-robed Tathagata naturally knew exactly who his own apprentice was.

Compared with the viciousness before the reincarnation, it is only a little bloody and violent now, which is completely acceptable.

As long as the great task of learning scriptures can be successfully completed, Lingshan can pretend not to see some changes. The so-called number of days is in Buddhism, and the white-robed Tathagata said that he did not feel it.

Not to mention the series of accidents that occurred during the Journey to the West, even if the Dharma can be successfully spread to the east, the invasion of foreign demon gods will soon follow.

Under this background, unless the Buddhist sect can fight against the invasion of foreign demon gods alone, this great prosperity is bound to be discounted.

The crux of the problem is not how much interest the Buddhist sect can grab in the future, but how much interest they can keep.

Even if the major forces let them take charge of the entire prehistoric world, Buddhism will still spit it out next. It is even possible to choke to death because of eating too much.

That being the case, Journey to the West does not have to pursue perfection. As long as the transmission of Buddhism to the East is completed, and the seal at the entrance to the Demon Realm is strengthened, the rest will be trivial.

...

Once the killing ring was lifted, Tang Sanzang, who was unrestrained, became more and more indulgent. The beautiful name is: wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha keeps them in his heart.

All kinds of fallacies and heresies are one set after another. He happened to meet Zhu Bajie, the gold medal supporting role again, no matter what Tang Sanzang said, he always said: Master is wise; Master is right; Master...

Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing are also not fuel-efficient lamps. Although they are not good at flattering, this does not affect them to follow around.

The scripture learning team, which was originally quite honest, was quickly turned into a mess. He is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

Of course, "prostitution" can be ignored. Although the four masters and apprentices also went to the brothel, they were limited to eating, drinking, and listening to ditties.

Thanks to the unique looks of the three apprentices, no one was willing to take up other service projects, which made Tang Sanzang very depressed.

There is no such thing as almsgiving. The current Tang Sanzang hates the moth who likes leisure, hates work, and doesn't care about production.

In order to make money, the four masters and apprentices directly turned into a circus and started acrobatic performances.

It's a pity that the program is wonderful, but they are obviously not suitable for business. The whole process is done freely by the audience, and they never ask for rewards, and the rewards after a busy day are not very good.

Looking at the results on the tray, Tang Sanzang frowned more and more. Looking at the three apprentices approaching, he said worriedly:

"Disciples, today your performance is not up to standard! With such a small harvest, I'm afraid it won't be able to support our expenses."

After hearing Tang Sanzang's words, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing all rolled their eyes, and even the nearby white dragon horse took a few steps back, as if ashamed to be with him.

Tang Sanzang in front of him was clearly a philistine businessman, and he didn't have the appearance of an eminent monk at all. If such a pilgrim came to Lingshan, I don't know if the Buddha would vomit blood in anger.

But in Sun Wukong's view, there is a high probability that it will not. Compared with Jin Chanzi's great achievements before reincarnation, Tang Sanzang in front of him is still a good boy.

"Master, don't worry. This is a trivial matter. Let's go outside the city and catch a few bandits who rob the rich and give to the poor.

If you find it troublesome, it is also possible to choose one or two wealthy businessmen and corrupt officials with serious crimes from the city to attack. In short, money is not an issue. "

Sun Wukong replied calmly.

These opinions are all things that Tang Sanzang instructed their brothers to do on the way, and now he just made a summary. Even, many of the words are the original words of Tang Sanzang.

"No, my teacher is a man of integrity, and he values ​​rules the most, so how can he solve problems by brute force?

At the very least, they have to provoke us first before we can attack them. But with your good looks, who would dare to come and rob you! "

Tang Sanzang said rather unwillingly.

The main reason is that their combination is too iconic, and they have already made a name for themselves along the way. The bandits and bandits along the way have no time to hide when they see them, let alone come to rob them.

No one came to cause trouble, and Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice were also very helpless. After all, it is not in line with his usual style to take the initiative to find trouble.

Monkey King is also very helpless about this situation. Appearance is a thing of nature, so you can't use the art of change to deceive people, right?

Even if he could do it, Buddhism would not agree! The shape of the members of the Buddhist scriptures is not random. Pigs and monkeys have their own meanings, and the purpose is to highlight the greatness of Buddhism.

At this time, Zhu Bajie suddenly stepped forward and suggested: "Master, why bother about trivial matters, can a living person be suffocated by urine?

In my old pig's opinion, if you want to make money, you can't just use your fists, you have to use your brains. With your Dharma practice, if you go out and do one or two rituals casually, that is also a large amount of income. "

Hearing Zhu Bajie's compliment, Tang Sanzang was overjoyed at first, then frowned, and immediately reprimanded him: "Nonsense, how can my family, born in generations, just focus on money!"

There is no way, I don't know what's going on, with the awakening of the memory in my mind, Tang Sanzang is not interested in anything like scriptures.

What's more, the sound is different for ten miles, and the customs are different for a hundred miles. Every place has its own cultural customs, and the rules of the Tang Dynasty may not be applicable here.

He didn't even know the most basic things, so he ran out to do things to make money, and he could only bring shame on himself. He Tang Sanzang is not that stupid.

"Master, since this doesn't work, then that doesn't work either, so let's just do some no-cost business. Just find a casino and go in, and with your strength, you won't be able to sweep all the way."

Zhu Bajie's words were not aimless, at least when the four of them were playing mahjong, none of them were Tang Sanzang's opponents.

Although mahjong is not yet popular in casinos, it is still the same as the word "gambling" in essence.

Glancing at the three apprentices, Tang Sanzang pretended to be helpless and sighed, and said: "I know you guys are unreliable, and you have to go personally for the teacher at the critical moment.

Buddha said: I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell. Forget it, in order to learn the great cause of the scriptures, let the teacher go there himself! "

If they hadn't known Tang Sanzang, the three of them might have been fooled by this upright scene. But the three people who were familiar with Tang Sanzang knew very well that this decent-looking guy in front of him was a complete hooligan.

Maybe because he really couldn't see it, Sun Wukong couldn't help reminding: "Master, I will not go to hell. Whoever goes to hell is said by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, not Buddha."

After pretending to be coercive and failing, Tang Sanzang, who became angry from embarrassment, reprimanded immediately: "Pohou, who said this, how can a teacher not know?

I think I heard him say it when I was a teacher and listened to the Tao under the Buddha's tent. At that time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was also there, and he later pirated it. "

Such a far-fetched justification literally left Monkey King speechless. Who doesn't know whether the Buddha said this sentence, anyway, it is impossible for them to go to the Tathagata to ask for such a trivial matter.

Similar things have happened many times in recent times. Every time when reasoning fails, or when it is necessary to misinterpret Buddhist scriptures, Tang Sanzang will use the "Buddha Theory" to forcefully defend himself.

In the name of the reincarnation of the second disciple of Tathagata, Tang Sanzang used it to bluff and deceive, which is still very convincing.

Sun Wukong also saw Tang Sanzang fooling people more than once, and even encouraged monks to return to secular life and nuns to marry.

According to the development of this model, in the future, Buddhism will definitely have a branch that is more deviant than Huanxi Zen, but I don’t know if the Tathagata’s heart can bear it well.

There is an extra episode, but it does not affect the four masters and apprentices to enter the casino to make money.

Facts have proved that gambling has nothing to do with technology, and Tang Sanzang, who knows nothing, is just as good at the gambling table.

Don't ask him why he is so powerful, just ask - "strength". No matter how the dealer of the casino operates in secret, it is difficult to stop Tang Sanzang's crow's mouth.

When throwing dice, it is always what time Tang Sanzang said. If not, follow the previous item.

All the casino staff who had expressed dissent liked to mention the 100-day rest package, and the rest recognized Tang Sanzang's "strength".

The aftermath is where the learning team has passed, and the gambling industry has been hit hard. Many casino practitioners with fragile hearts simply announced their withdrawal from the gambling industry to find another livelihood.

He stopped and walked all the way until he stopped temporarily in Fengxian County. Looking at the withered grassland, the torn earth, and the dry riverbed, the faces of the Tang monk, master and apprentice were not very good.

After traveling to the west for so many years, they can be considered well-informed. But they have seen a lot of drought places, and there are really not many places as miserable as Fengxian County.

Of course, Huoyanshan can't be counted. The vegetation has been burned away by the fire, and the land has degraded into a desert, so naturally it cannot be generalized.

Looking at the rain notice hanging in front of the gate of the tower, Tang Sanzang tore it down. For him, being idle is also being idle, and occasionally finding something to do is also a rare flavoring agent on the road of learning scriptures.

"Wukong, I heard that you have an affair with Dragon Palace, so I leave the matter of praying for rain to you."

After hearing Tang Sanzang's reason, Monkey King rolled his eyes directly. It is true that he has "oldness" with Longgong, but the process of this "oldness" is not very good, and the two sides have no friendship at all.

Because of the Butterfly Effect, and because he hated the Dragon Palace for his false accusations, Monkey King never asked the Dragon Palace for fate on the journey to the west. There is no chance of contact, and naturally there is no way to talk about friendship.

"Master, don't worry. It's just a rain, I, Old Sun, will be able to handle it properly, and I won't let you down."

Sun Wukong took the lead.

He wasn't worried at all about praying for rain this time. What ordinary mortal monks can do, Sun Wukong really can't find a reason to fail.

"Master, don't worry, Brother Hou has a wide range of contacts, and he will be a guest in the Dragon Palace. As long as he does his best, let alone begging for one rain, even if it is a hundred or eighty rains, it will be no problem."

Zhu Bajie said very cooperatively.

Intuition told him that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. It seems to be touting now, but in essence it is to put Monkey King on the fire.

"Idiot, what nonsense are you talking about here? My old grandson, when did you have friendship with Dragon Palace?

What's more, now that humanity is prosperous, the human race is the protagonist of heaven and earth, and most of the gods in the heavens come from the human race, and they have always taken good care of the human race.

In my old grandson's opinion, Fengxian County has no rain all year round, so there must be something behind it. Let's stay calm and don't be impatient, and we will act after we inquire clearly. "
