Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 442 The Three Treasures of Buddhism, Learning from the West

Facing the dog demon bowing to him, Li Daoxuan didn't seem surprised at all, his voice was a little bit emotional.

"I just haven't seen you for a few months. I didn't expect you to have the fortune you have today."

Xiaotian respectfully said: "If it wasn't for the kindness of the fairy elder in the past, the little demon would never have achieved what he is today. I am afraid that he would still be a wild dog with no purpose, and would have frozen to death or starved to death in a corner."

In the past, when Li Daoxuan just returned to Longhu Mountain, there were many cases of pregnant women hanging themselves in the mountain. Later, Li Daoxuan went to Shanghe Village, killed the horse demon there, and found that Yantong was controlled by Zhang Jiuxiao's son Zhang Tiande. After the process, he casually enchanted a wild dog.

Originally it was just a casual and unintentional act, but I didn't expect this dog monster to have a lot of blessings. It seems that he had an adventure. Although he has not reached the Yin God Realm, his physical strength is already among the best in the Bigu Realm.

Li Daoxuan nodded, and then opened his brows and eyes, looking at the dog monster, his eyes sank slightly.

On him, he clearly saw a ray of black energy, indicating that although this demon dog has never eaten people, he has also done bad things.

Under Li Daoxuan's gaze, Xiaotian only felt as if he was being crushed by Mount Tai, he couldn't breathe all over his body, and his proud physical body felt like it was about to burst.

Especially the heavenly eye between the eyebrows of the immortal master, it puts a huge pressure on it, as if everything about itself is seen through by that eye, and there is nothing to hide.

"Excuse me, Immortal Master. Ever since you enlightened me, the little demon has kept your teachings in mind. I have never eaten people, but sometimes I am hungry, so I will inevitably steal some chickens and ducks to eat. Later, I was exiled to Beishan, where I recruited Some mountain spirits and wild monsters, who call themselves the Beishan Demon King, only scare the merchants, and never hurt people!"

Li Daoxuan looked at it quietly, his eyes were like thunder, making its hair stand on end, but he still didn't dare to make any resistance and bowed his head humbly.

"Brother, Xiaotian has been following me during this time, and he has given up the habit of stealing, and he is no longer scary. Why don't you just let him go."

Xuanzang couldn't help pleading for mercy.

Li Daoxuan pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Nian Xuanzang pleaded for you, and what you did was just a small evil, so let me let you go for now, and I will definitely do more good things in the future."

He wasn't putting on airs, but he was sounding the alarm for this demon dog.

Few monsters can resist the temptation of cannibalism, because they have no skills, and they practice very slowly. If they don't eat people, they can only rely on hard work accumulated over time.

But the environment where monsters live is where the weak eat the strong. If you are weak, you will most likely become the food or subordinate of other monsters.

Therefore, most monsters have a hobby of cannibalism. For them, human flesh can not only speed up their cultivation, but also is a unique delicacy in the world!
This is also the reason why so many immortal mounts in "Journey to the West" can't help but eat people after they descended to earth. For example, the carp raised by Guanyin likes to eat virgin boys and girls the most. It is proposed to use the heart and liver of one thousand and one hundred and one children as a medicine for longevity.

As for the three monsters of Shituoling, let alone, they created a terrifying cannibal kingdom directly.

Even the mounts of gods and Buddhas are like this, let alone ordinary monsters in the mortal world, so Li Daoxuan gave it a vaccination to prevent this dog monster from going astray.

As Li Daoxuan withdrew his gaze, Xiao Tian only felt that his whole body was dripping with sweat. It had easily killed several water ghouls just now, but now it was trembling with fright.

It was fortunate in its heart that it was fortunate that it resisted the temptation of cannibalism and did not touch the bottom line of the fairy master, otherwise it would probably become a dead dog now.

"I'm also doing it for your own good. Although cannibalism can speed up your practice, it's like drinking poison to quench your thirst. If you want to step into the realm of the gods and become a human, you have to go through the thunder disaster. The more sins you will have , the Thunder Tribulation will be more difficult to overcome."

Xiaotian trembled, and then his body became smaller, turning into a soft and cute little black dog, wagging its tail non-stop, ran to Li Daoxuan's feet, and rubbed against his shoes.

"Thank you, Master Xian, for your guidance!"

That flattering appearance, just like a little licking dog.

Li Daoxuan shook his head and smiled, then walked to the Bashui River, staring at the bodies floating on the water, frowning slightly.

When did these water ghouls appear?
This is Chang'an, if there are water ghouls, it is impossible for bad people not to have received the news, unless these water ghouls just appeared recently.

But Li Daoxuan looked around, only to find that the Yin Qi here is not heavy.

Monsters like water ghouls can only be born in places with a lot of yin, and often only one will be born. Li Daoxuan has only seen such a situation where several water ghouls appear together, that is, in Surabaya, Xuzhou river.

But the Sishui River is very dark. Because of the construction of the canal during the Sui Dynasty, many people were buried there, and it makes sense that several water ghouls were born. What is the reason here?
Li Daoxuan was puzzled, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the rumors he heard in Xuzhou.

A man accidentally fell into the Sishui River in Xuzhou, survived by chance, but became a lunatic, shouting all day long that there are thousands of water ghouls underwater, as many as heavenly soldiers and generals.

Later, Li Daoxuan went into the water with a unicorn whisk to catch monsters, but only found eight water ghouls.

……

"Big brother?"

Seeing Li Daoxuan standing by the water, Xuanzang couldn't help shouting.

Li Daoxuan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"

"Brother, is there such a monster underwater?"

"Nothing."

Xuanzang nodded, and then asked: "Brother, I fell into the water before and lost two things, one is a book, and the other is a bowl, can you help me find it?"

Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and said, "It's just a trivial matter."

He flexed his fingers a little, and saw the water column rushing up, sending two things in front of Xuanzang, one was "Three Hundred Children's Songs", and the other was a purple gold bowl.

The moment he saw the purple gold bowl, Li Daoxuan showed surprise.

Because this alms bowl is exactly the magic weapon of the evil Buddha Maha. This thing can become huge, and there are boundless universes in it. It can suck people into it, and it is very strong.

Before Li Daoxuan smashed it down with the Fantian Seal, Maha wanted to use the purple gold bowl to stop it, but the bowl was thrown into the air, and it fell like a pop, and it didn't know where it fell.

Later, Li Shimin sent people to search for it, but found nothing.

Unexpectedly, it was in Xuanzang's hands!
It can only be said that Xuanzang is worthy of being the number one eminent monk in the Tang Dynasty in the future, a Buddhist scripture learner in the west, and a deep connection with Buddhism. The purple gold bowl went around and went around, and finally returned to him.

Like the trajectory of fate.

And that book "Three Hundred Children's Songs" made Li Daoxuan even more imaginative.

"Xuanzang, didn't Master Sanle teach you how to practice?"

Li Daoxuan tentatively said.

The current Xuanzang still has no mana fluctuations on his body, not even at the Bigu state.

Xuanzang shook his head, his expression was calm, and said: "Master must have his considerations, and I also found that I prefer reading and translating Buddhist scriptures compared to practicing."

He looked at Li Daoxuan, showed a sincere smile, and said: "Brother, I have already figured it out. People are born between heaven and earth, and each has its own use. Just like you, brother, you can be a mountain that shelters the wind and rain, sheltering the common people, and My ability is limited, and I am satisfied with being a grass that can shelter ants."

"I'll leave the matter of slaying demons and demons to you, elder brother. I will chant sutras day and night and pray for elder brother in front of the Buddha."

Li Daoxuan was stunned, looking at Xuanzang with clear eyes and peaceful expression, he immediately looked at him with admiration.

He didn't expect that Xuanzang's state of mind would have improved so much after only seeing each other for two years. Now he really has the air of an eminent monk.

Don't be confused by power, don't be disturbed by fame and fortune, let go of unnecessary desires, and gain peace of mind.

This is an invaluable quality.

"Xuanzang, elder brother really admires you. I believe that in the future you will never be just an ordinary monk. Once you become enlightened, you will be a great bloomer!"

Li Daoxuan believes that there is some kind of power in the dark that is driving the trajectory of fate.

Now that the gods and Buddhas have disappeared, there will no longer be Guanyin Bodhisattva who gave Xuanzang the Three Treasures and appointed him as a person to learn scriptures from the Western Paradise, but two of the three treasures have now come to Xuanzang's side. The item is the brocade cassock in Li Daoxuan's gourd.

There is also the "Three Hundred Songs for Children", which made Li Daoxuan feel an urge to tear it up, and then put it back together again, to see if he could compose the "Da Ri Tathagata Sutra".

"Xuanzang, Master Sanle came to Chang'an before and asked me to take care of you. He has something to leave for a while, and he will come back to you soon, or you will live with me in the small courtyard of Xuandu first?"

"Or I have a house in the capital that His Majesty rewarded, and I can send you to live in it."

Xuanzang was a little disappointed when he heard that his master was no longer in Chang'an, but he soon regained his strength.

"Brother, can you recommend me to go to Daxingshan Temple to practice Buddhism? I heard that there are thousands of volumes of scriptures there, and there are even ancient Sanskrit scriptures brought by Janaborita and Dharma Gupta from Tianzhu. I want to go there Practice Buddhism and read scriptures."

Xuanzang's eyes showed a glint of expectation. To him, these ancient Buddhist scriptures with modest meaning were more attractive than spells and supernatural powers.

It's just that he is just a young novice novice and has not yet received the monk's precepts. Let alone going to Daxingshan Temple to study Buddhist scriptures, even if he wants to go there to sweep the floor, he may not be qualified.

Daxingshan Temple is the most prosperous temple in Chang'an. It is located in Dongjing Shanfang. It was built in the second year of Taishi, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty. It was originally named "Zunshan Temple" and was later renamed Daxingshan Temple by Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. Years of history.

Li Daoxuan smiled slightly, and said: "It's easy. After I write a book and hand it to the abbot of Daxingshan Temple, he will treat you as a guest of honour. It doesn't matter if you want to read any Buddhist scriptures."

"Thank you bro!"

Xuanzang bowed and saluted, feeling very grateful in his heart. To his elder brother, this matter might be just a little effort, but to him, it was the realization of his long-cherished wish.

"Why be so polite to me, by the way, big brother has another gift for you, I'm sure you like it!"

Li Daoxuan flipped his hand, and the brocade cassock from the gourd of the Three Realms appeared in his palm. The red cloth with golden patterns, inlaid with the seven treasures of Buddhism such as glass and agate, was really radiant and shining brightly in the sun.

"This is a brocade cassock. It is made of the seven treasures of Buddhism. It is invulnerable to fire and water, and invulnerable to swords and guns. It is also protected by merit and luck. It is difficult for ordinary demons to harm you. If you can wear it today, even if there are ten water ghouls I won't move you!"

As Li Daoxuan said, he wanted to put on Xuanzang.

Xuanzang quickly took a step back and said, "Brother, this is too precious, I will never accept it!"

The gift of the sword back then has not yet been repaid, the cassock in front of him is far more precious than the Yuchang Sword, if he accepts it, how can his conscience be at ease?
Li Daoxuan laughed loudly, and said: "Your elder brother, I am a Taoist priest. No matter how good this cassock is, I can't wear it. If the master knows that I wear a cassock, I'm afraid he will have to expel me from the sect!"

Xuanzang still shook his head and said stubbornly, "Then I can't accept it either!"

Li Daoxuan's eyes moved, and a smile appeared. He thought of a good idea, and he didn't worry about Xuanzang's refusal to wear it.

"Xuanzang, look at your clothes, they got wet after falling into the water just now, and you feel like you can't wear them any more, brother, please change them for you."

Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, he saw his elder brother pointing his finger at him, and suddenly the red sword flashed like lightning.

He only heard the sound of cloth being broken, his body felt cold, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was standing naked between the sky and the earth, and all the clothes on his body were chopped into powder by the sword energy.

"Big... big brother!"

Xuanzang's face turned red instantly, like a ripe persimmon.

Li Daoxuan laughed loudly, and casually threw the brocade cassock to him.

"Xuanzang, now there is only this cassock left to wear. Of course, if you still don't want to wear it, the eldest brother will not force you."

"Wang Wang!"

Roaring Sky Thieves glanced at Xuanzang mischievously, raised his eyebrows, showing a sense of admiration.

It's okay, the little monk doesn't show his face in real life.

Without any hesitation, Xuanzang put on the cassock immediately, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he felt the clothes on his body, but his face was still flushed.

"Brother still has some things to deal with, so let's go first. I will arrange the affairs of Daxingshan Temple. You can just go there. In addition, Xiaotian will lend me some use."

After Li Daoxuan said this, he waved his long sleeves, and the space around him and Xiaotian shook slightly, like ripples on a calm lake.

The next moment, one person and one dog disappeared.

Xuanzang bowed in the direction where Li Daoxuan disappeared, then carefully took the purple gold bowl and the book "Three Hundred Children's Songs" and walked towards Daxingshan Temple.

But what he didn't know was that about half an hour after he left, the body floating in the water suddenly sank to the bottom of the lake, and when it reappeared, it had turned into a pile of white bones, as if it had been eaten away by something.

……

"Wang Wang!"

"Master Immortal, this place is so scary, the dragon in the sky is staring at us!"

Xiao Tian jumped on his short legs and hid behind Li Daoxuan, his tail was raised high and his hair stood on end, as if he was quite frightened.

Roar!
There was a dragon chant in the void, and the dragon energy hovering over the Taiji Palace was awakened, as if it had sensed that a monster had entered the palace, and the dragon eyes looked in Li Daoxuan's direction.

The blue dragon tattoo on Li Daoxuan's back was slightly hot, and there were bursts of dragon chant, as if he was talking to the dragon spirit.

In the end, Long Qi looked away and stopped paying attention.

Xiaotian finally put down his tail, panted with his tongue out, and seemed to be quite frightened.

It knew that if it hadn't been for the protection of the immortal master just now, it would probably be bitten to death by that dragon now!

"Can you see the dragon?"

Li Daoxuan asked suddenly.

"Woof, I can see it, it scared me to death!"

Li Daoxuan's eyes moved, and he became curious about the adventures of this dog monster.

No matter it is the dragon aura or the dragon chant just now, ordinary people cannot see and hear it. Those who practice Taoism or those with higher spirituality can perceive the existence of dragon aura, but they cannot see it unless they practice powerful pupil techniques. Or have extraordinary blood.

Just like Li Daoxuan's Erlang Zhenjun with open eyes and open eyes.

This dog demon doesn't have pupil skills, and he can see the dragon's aura only by his own blood, so the origin of his heel may be unusual.

This is also what Li Daoxuan was curious about. You must know that when he enlightened this demon, the other party was just an ordinary wild dog.

But now is not the time to ask, Li Daoxuan looked around, the house was beautifully decorated, covered with soft carpets, and there were many porcelain vases filled with various beautiful flowers and plants.

This is Changle's boudoir.

Li Daoxuan said to Xiaotian: "I want you to help me find someone through the smell."
