History’s Strongest Shopkeeper - Chapter 1006
[1006.Chapter 998 Retrieve the Scripture]
“Here are the Buddhist monks? Are they the four masters and disciples of Monk Tang?”
The fingers of Tathagata Buddha’s right hand dropped involuntarily, a look of shock flashed across his solemn face, and his body stood up from the golden lotus platform like a spring.
If he remembered correctly, Tang Monk and his disciples had just passed by Wuzhuang Temple not long ago, and they had not gone through half of the journey when they suddenly came to Xitian Daleiyin Temple.
“Yes.”
Venerable Vajra looked puzzled. The four masters and disciples of Monk Tang came to the Great Thunder Sound Temple in the West. Why did Tathagata Buddha have such a big reaction.
Although the four monks and disciples of Tang Monk are the key to Buddhist scriptures in the West, for the monks and Buddhas in the Western Heaven, the Buddhist scriptures are the general trend. The four monks and disciples of Tang Dynasty were just lucky enough to become Buddhist scripture collectors.
Tathagata Buddha frowned and flexed his fingers to figure out what happened to the four monks and his disciples who were studying in the West.
How come Tang Monk and his group arrived in the West after less than a year of studying for Buddhist scriptures? This was very different from the time he predicted.
Before the White Bone Demon, Tang Monk was still a human being and walked slowly. It took him more than half a year to reach Wuzhuang Temple.
Including the time spent studying for the second half of the journey, the total is less than one year.
In the eyes of gods and Buddhas all over the sky, this time is not too short.
If all the gods and Buddhas in the sky knew that in the second half of the journey to the West to seek scriptures, each disaster would be solved in a few hours, I don’t know what kind of expression they would have.
“Ananda, Kayapa, you are entertaining the four masters and disciples of Monk Tang in the side hall.”
Tathagata Buddha pondered for a moment and then said.
If the secret is not revealed, he does not know what happened to the four masters and disciples of Tang Monk and his disciples in the West to seek scriptures, so that they arrived at the Great Leiyin Temple in the West so quickly.
He needs to wait for Guanyin Bodhisattva to come back and report what happened before making a decision.
“I sincerely obey the Buddha’s decree.”
Two people walked out from among the monks and Buddhas, bowed slightly and walked outside.
“Are you monks who came from the West to learn Buddhist scriptures?”
After Ananda and Kasyapa walked out of the Mahavira Hall, they looked at each other. As the direct disciples of Tathagata Buddha, they looked down upon the four Tang Monk masters and disciples at all. The two of them were in Lingshan Mountain. The four masters and disciples of Tang Seng were seen at their feet, looking condescending.
“I have met Venerable Ananda and Venerable Kassapa.”
After hearing the introduction from the monks on the side, the four masters and disciples of Monk Tang bowed and said.
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were naturally very familiar with these two sages. There was a hint of smile on the corners of their mouths. They were one step away from sending the scriptures back to the Tang Dynasty, and the mission of obtaining scriptures from the West was completed.
They were well aware of the greed of Ananda and Kasyapa, and perhaps they could bribe these two men.
“I would also like to ask the two venerables to do a favor and pass the scripture to us first.”
Zhu Bajie turned his eyes slightly, walked to Ananda and Kasyapa, and quietly took out a low-level Najie with a pile of gold in it. mine.
In Wanjie Tower, gold as a trading currency is very valuable, but gold mines are very cheap.
“Two venerables, don’t worry. We have already reached the Western Heaven. How could the Buddha not teach us the true scriptures?”
Zhu Bajie put the Najie into the hands of Venerable Kassapa and said with a smile.
Ananda and Kasyapa glanced at the Najie with their spiritual senses, and found that it turned out to be a rare space magic weapon, and there was a golden mountain inside. The two of them hesitated for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by a thick smile.
“You come with me.”
Ananda and Kassapa nodded, and led Monk Tang, master and disciple, towards the place where Mahayana Buddhist scriptures are stored.
The four masters and disciples of Tang Monk and his disciples went to the West to obtain scriptures. This is something that everyone in the three worlds knows. It is the general trend of heaven and earth. Now that the four masters and disciples of Tang Monk and his disciples have come to Leiyin Temple in the West, how could Tathagata Buddha not teach them the true scriptures?
They now pass the scriptures to the four masters and disciples of Monk Tang, and they are only fulfilling the orders of Tathagata Buddha ahead of schedule.
“Thank you two venerables.”
Although Tang Seng noticed Zhu Bajie’s little move, he didn’t say anything.
The Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in Daleiyin Temple is possessed by fire, not to mention these sages.
Therefore, Tang Seng did not stop it.
“The holy monk is too polite.”
Ananda and Kasyapa smiled.
If Monk Tang successfully obtains Buddhist scriptures from the West, he may also become a Buddha. If he is a colleague in the future, he should be given a certain amount of respect so that he can meet each other easily one day.
“You are waiting here for the call of the Buddha.”
After Ananda and Kassapa passed the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures to Tang Monk, they left in a hurry. Apparently they planned to divide the spoils.
“Ding dong! The host has successfully obtained the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, and is now issuing a mission to send the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures back to the Eastern Tang Dynasty.”
Tang Monk carefully packed the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures and heard the prompt tone of the Buddha system in his ear.
“Master, let’s quickly send the scriptures back to the Tang Dynasty to save all living beings from fire and water.”
The smile on Zhu Bajie’s face could not be concealed at this time, and at the same time, his eyes also revealed deep worry.
If what they did on their way to the West to learn the scriptures were exposed, the consequences would be like a torrent and a tsunami that would sweep through the three realms.
“Master, it’s not advisable to stay here for a long time. We should complete the pilgrimage to the Western Heaven first, and then purify the filthy Buddhism.”
Sun Wukong also warned from the side.
This is the Great Leiyin Temple, a holy land of Buddhism. There are many masters. If anything they do is known to Buddhism, they may not be able to leave Lingshan Mountain.
“Okay.”
Tang Seng nodded. He knew that if he wanted to promote Buddhism, he must have the corresponding power.
If he completes the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, his strength will be further enhanced. At that time, he will be able to spread the Buddhist teachings he has comprehended in his heart throughout the three realms.
“Wait a minute.”
Zhu Bajie suddenly squatted down and opened a box. He was relieved when he found that it was not a wordless bible inside.
As a customer of Wanjie Tower, he naturally remembered this routine in Xitian Buddhist Scriptures. They were now racing against time and could not waste any time.
The longer the delay was, the more likely the things they had done on the way to the West would be exposed. Zhu Bajie could no longer imagine the terrible consequences of what they had done if others knew about it.
Manjushri Bodhisattva’s mount was beaten to death, Taishang Laojun’s mount was beaten to death, Guanyin Bodhisattva’s pet goldfish was not only beaten to death, but even he himself was sealed…
Each of these things can be taken separately. Even coming out is enough to cause quite a stir in the three realms, not to mention that so many things were done by the four of them, master and disciple.
Zhu Bajie just wants to take away his share of the merits of studying scriptures from the West, and then return to the Wanjie Tower, never to come to this dangerous place again.
“Let’s go!”
Tang Monk’s mind moved, and he wrapped Sun Wukong and the three of them with magic power, turned into a rainbow light, and disappeared directly into the Great Leiyin Temple.
On the way to the Leiyin Temple in the West, they could not use any magic power, but when they returned to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, they could use magic power.
“Finally back.”
In just a quarter of an hour, Monk Tang flew back to the Tang Dynasty from the Great Leiyin Temple in the West and landed in the palace of Chang’an City.
“Royal brother?”
In the Tai Chi Palace, Tang Wang Li Shimin, who was holding a court meeting, looked at the four masters and disciples of Tang Monk, who were slowly falling on the white clouds, and asked in surprise.
Could it be that Tang Monk has returned from studying scriptures and become a Buddha?
“I have met Your Majesty.”
Tang Seng quickly came down from Baiyun and paid his respects.
“Your Majesty, please get up quickly.”
Tang Wang Li Shimin quickly stepped down from the throne and helped Tang Monk who was bending down to bow down.
“This is the Mahayana Buddhist scripture that the poor monk brought back from the Great Leiyin Temple in the West. Now I give it to Your Majesty.”
As soon as Tang Monk finished speaking, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie quickly placed the Mahayana Buddhist scripture in front of Tang Wang Li Shiming.
“Oh?”
Tang Wang Li Shimin touched the box containing Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, then stood up quickly, holding Tang Seng’s hand and walking towards the throne. Although the Buddhist scriptures were good, they were far less important than the Tang Seng who became a Buddha beside him.
“Ding dong! The host has successfully completed the mission of fetching scriptures from the West. His merits are complete and he has become a Buddha. The Buddha system has completed its mission and is leaving now.”
Tang Monk also had a smile on his face. After all the hardships, he finally retrieved the scriptures. He lived up to the trust of Tang Wang Li Shimin.
Suddenly a notification sound sounded in Tang Seng’s ears. The mana in Tang Seng’s body increased rapidly, and a seven-color halo appeared behind his head, bright and gentle, but the smile on Tang Seng’s face was frozen.
It was all because of the help of the Buddha System that he came from a mortal body to become a Buddha. In Tang Seng’s heart, the Buddha System was his teacher. Now that the Buddha System has left, Tang Seng is naturally very disappointed.
“Shopkeeper, where are we going now?”
Over Chang’an City, seeing the successful completion of the pilgrimage to the West, the brave God Hou Zhuwu couldn’t help but ask.
At the same time, Iron God Hou Zhuwu also secretly slandered in his heart that this was probably the fastest Buddhist scripture he had ever seen.
“The real show has just begun, how can we leave?”
Zhou Yang said with a smile. The moment the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures were brought to the Eastern Tang Dynasty by Monk Tang from the Great Leiyin Temple in the Western Heaven, the pursuit of Buddhist scriptures in the Western Heaven ended.
The obscure heavenly secret appeared, and some people with great supernatural powers should have sensed the changes on the way to the West. The next thing is the real climax.
