Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 504
"What are you thinking, this is just a simple shadow clone technique." Yang Xin said nonchalantly, and then set off with Tang Sanzang and Xiaobailong.

But Xiao Bailong felt very strange, especially after learning that this so-called shadow clone still had independent consciousness, he felt even more strange, but there are countless kinds of supernatural powers and spells from the three realms, after experiencing the initial freshness, Xiao Bailong Bailong rode his mount on the ground and followed Yang Xin. No matter what, it was much better than being someone else's mount.

The third prince of the dignified Dragon Clan Xihai Dragon Palace has been ridden by a human monk for more than ten years. It is shameful to say it. From this point, we can see the loneliness of the Dragon Clan.

After wandering for eight or nine days, Sun Wukong came back riding colorful auspicious clouds. The first thing Sun Wukong did after he came back was to have a hearty battle with Yang Xin. There was no magic weapon on the spot, and the golden cudgel was also a magic weapon. Yang Xin Xin and Sun Wukong simply had an empty-handed contest.

Through fighting with Sun Wukong, Yang Xin discovered that Sun Wukong's fighting instinct is extremely strong. At first, Yang Xin relied on his exquisite moves to fight against Sun Wukong, but the more he fought, the faster Sun Wukong progressed. If Sun Wukong hadn't been suppressed in Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years , and was forced to eat iron pills and drink copper juice every day, consuming its potential and pulling its realm from Taiyi Jinxian to the early stage of Jinxian, Yang Xin may have to capsize.

Fortunately, the two sides were not fighting for life and death, but just fighting each other. In the end, Yang Xin won the game with a slight advantage.

Through this battle, Yang Xin also summed up some experience. In this world, to a large extent, the strength of the magic weapon directly determines the level of personal strength, just like Yang Xin can easily defeat Guanyin Bodhisattva with the Pangu banner.

After the fight between the two, Sun Wukong accepted and approved Yang Xin. Yang Xin let the giant wolf Huifeng fly another shadow clone for Sun Wukong to ride.Yang Xin didn't mind either, and still let the giant wolf Gray Wind create a shadow clone. At the same time, Yang Xin strongly urged Sun Wukong to wear its awesome and blinding cloak.

"Is it okay? Won't it steal your limelight?" Monkey King scratched his head excitedly.

Sun Wukong is a donkey, he can't go when he is hit, and he will go backwards when he is led, you have to follow along.

Yang Xin tried his best to let Sun Wukong wear that cloak to make it attract targets and attract hatred, so that he could plan strategies behind him, even if he didn't plan strategies, it would be convenient even for black hands.

"It's okay, I don't care. After all, this cloak is a gift from the Dragon King of the Four Seas. If you don't wear it, do you feel sorry for his kindness?" Yang Xin said quietly.

"That's true! My old grandson is the kind of person who is sorry for others' good intentions? I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Qin to understand my old grandson!" After Monkey King finished speaking, he immediately changed into a purple gold crown with phoenix wings, golden armor with locks, and silk shoes walking on clouds. , and then hooked up with Yang Xin and called him brothers.

Yang Xin didn't mind, but Chunchun taught: "People are born by their mothers, and demons are born by their mothers, so to be a demon is just like being a human. You must have a kind heart. With a benevolent heart, It’s no longer a monster, it’s a human monster... Ahem, I’m crossing the stage, I’m sorry, what I mean is that you can follow your heart in everything, but as long as it involves human race matters, you must ask Over this king."

"No problem." Sun Wukong said, patting his chest.

After finishing the journey, they continued on the road. Sun Wukong's joining did not slow down the progress of Yang Xin and his party at all, and even sped it up a little bit. After walking for a few days, Yang Xin and his party came to the Guanyin Temple at the foot of Heifeng Mountain.

The Guanyin Temple is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the main buildings are continuous and magnificent.

"Your Highness, why don't we just rest at the Guanyin Temple tonight?" Tang Sanzang asked.

"Don't worry, Monkey King, you change into a human form, keep a low profile, go to the Guanyin Temple to inquire about it, and see whether the Guanyin Temple is a solemn and sacred place to worship Buddha, or a place where filth is hidden." Yang Xin pointed at the Guanyin Temple from a distance. Said.

Sun Wukong didn't have a good impression of Buddhism, so he transformed into a fly and flew to Guanyin Temple to inquire about news.

"Jade Dragon True Monarch Ao Lie, go to the nearby farm to inquire about it. This Guanyin Temple is so big and there are so many monks in the temple. It is not easy to feed these monks. The food they eat every day is a large amount of food compared to the consumption. , your main purpose here is to inquire about the output of their fields, to see if they are self-sufficient or rely on exploiting the people." Yang Xin said.

"Yes!" After Xiaobailong finished speaking, he jumped off his horse, transformed himself into a doctor walking around the streets, and rushed towards the farm near the Guanyin Temple.

"Chen Dalang, do you think this Avalokitesvara Temple is a solemn and sacred place to worship Buddha, or a place where filth is hidden?" Yang Xin asked with a smile.

Tang Sanzang frowned, his lips were tightly pursed, and the hand holding the rein was also tightly clenched. Yang Xinming pretended that he had a bad sense of Buddhism. Temples are sacred and solemn places to worship Buddha, but the behavior of Buddhist disciples made Tang Sanzang feel a kind of pessimism almost desperate.

Tang Sanzang didn't dare to answer, he was afraid of being hit again.

"I don't know." Tang Sanzang said slowly after being silent for a long time.

"Very good, there is progress! In the past, you would not have allowed me to say anything bad about Buddhism. Now, you finally understand that without investigation, you have no right to speak." Yang Xin patted Tang Sanzang on the shoulder and said.

Tang Sanzang was at a loss for a while, and thought to himself: "Is that what I mean? I didn't dare to speak out because I was afraid that the Guanyin Temple would be a place where filth is hidden. However, the saying that there is no right to speak without investigation is also a wise saying... ..."

Yang Xin and Tang Sanzang waited silently at the same place. About half an hour later, Yang Xin perceived with his keen martial arts intuition that Monkey King who had transformed into a fly flew out of the temple.

"Can you two see through Sun Wukong's 72 changes?" Yang Xin asked suddenly.

The giant wolf Huifeng immediately opened his eyes, and the giant dragon Viserion immediately opened the kaleidoscope Sharingan, staring carefully at the direction of the Guanyin Temple. Although the fly cannot be seen from the outside, there is a huge amount of energy in its body."

"Me too. Although there are quite a few flies, the one transformed by Monkey King is different from other flies. The energy contained in its body is too obvious." said the giant dragon Veserion.

"You take turns to open your eyes and share your eyes 24 hours a day, so as not to hide unruly people around us with the technique of transformation." Yang Xin said.

"Yes!" The giant wolf Gray Wind and the giant dragon Viserion said in unison.

After a while, Sun Wukong came to Yang Xin and showed his original shape. Sun Wukong pursed his lips and said: "Report to Your Highness, the Guanyin Temple covers an area of ​​36 mu, consisting of the Temple of Heavenly Kings, the Bell and Drum Tower, the Daxiong Hall, the Guanyin Pavilion, and the Free Life Pond. There are countless meditation rooms, and there are more than a hundred monks in the temple. A 16-meter-high white marble Guanyin statue is enshrined in the temple, which is extremely luxurious..."

"The abbot of the Guanyin Temple, the abbot Jinchi, is not only extremely harsh on his disciples, but also an old greedy ghost who is obsessed with clothes. He has hoarded a total of seven or eight hundred cassocks and filled twelve cabinets. These cassocks are all the best. The clothes are cut out of material, full of beautiful embroidery, and silk on the walls. My old grandson sneaked in and opened the cabinet to take a look, and almost blinded my golden eyes."

"What's more interesting is that this golden pond has lived to be 270 years old." Sun Wukong said with a gloating look.

"270 years old, could it be that this golden pond has already attained the Arhat status?" Tang Sanzang asked puzzled.

"No, this golden pool is an ordinary mortal in the world. His ability to live for so long depends on his practice, but his practice method is obviously Taoist. The abbot of Guanyin Temple does not practice Buddhism, but practices Taoism. You Isn't it very interesting to say?" Sun Wukong laughed loudly.

Yang Xin Liyan's heart moved. The Elder Jinchi can live for so long. It is not the kung fu handed down by Guanyin, but the practice kung fu handed down by the black bear spirit of Heifeng Mountain. I didn't expect that this black bear master is actually a Taoist practice.But this black bear spirit is not small, Sun Wukong fought with him many times but failed to take it down, and in the end it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who managed to capture the black bear spirit.

Yang Xin and his entourage waited for more than half an hour, and Xiao Bailong returned after inquiring about the news, and immediately reported to Yang Xin: "Report to Your Highness, according to the general's inquiries, most of the farms in Heifeng Mountain with a radius of tens of miles are It is owned by Guanyin Temple, which shows that the industry of this Guanyin Temple is extremely rich."

"How is the morality of the monks in Guanyin Temple?" Tang Sanzang couldn't help asking, this was the question he was most concerned about.

"These monks treat their tenants extremely harshly. These tenants have worked hard for a year, but they can barely survive. Whenever there is a natural disaster, there are many people whose families are destroyed." Xiao Bailong said after a moment of silence.

"Chen Dalang, what are you going to do? Do you want to sit back and watch this group of monks use the flesh and bones of their tenants to build this magnificent Guanyin Temple, or clean up the door for Guanyin Bodhisattva?" Yang Xin asked.

"Your Highness once said that without investigation, there is no right to speak. Poor monk... no, I will investigate first." Tang Sanzang said through gritted teeth.

"Please go." Yang Xin waved his hand and let Tang Sanzang go to inquire on his own. Tang Sanzang did not go to Guanyin Temple, but to a nearby farm.

"Your Highness, why is it so troublesome to deal with these guys who eat human flesh and drink human blood? Let my old grandson set fire to this monastery, and beat them to death with one stick." Sun Wukong said.

"Killing people is not the goal, killing the heart is the goal. At the same time, we must let Tang Sanzang see the true colors of the Buddhist monks in the world. After all, Tang Sanzang is the reincarnation of Jin Chan, the second disciple of the Tathagata Buddha. Tang Sanzang has kind thoughts in his heart. You must not approve of what the Buddhist sect has done, and then there will be excitement." Yang Xin said with a smile.

"Your Highness doesn't like Buddhism either?" Monkey King asked with a smile as his eyes lit up.

"Speak carefully, there are gods standing three feet above your head. Whether this king has a good impression of Buddhism can only be judged after investigation." Yang Xin smiled even more happily.

Sun Wukong didn't speak, but grinned.

"Is this Tang Sanzang the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of Buddha Tathagata?" Little White Dragon Ao Lie suddenly asked with a strange expression.

"You don't know? Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't tell you the details?" Yang Xin asked strangely.

"The Guanyin Bodhisattva just told the general that he was going to escort the eminent monks sent by the Tang Emperor to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, but he didn't tell the general that Tang Sanzang was the reincarnation of the golden cicada." Xiao Bailong's expression became more and more strange.

"Why? What's so strange about this?" Yang Xin asked.

"Well, I have heard such a rumor from my uncle, the Dragon King of the East China Sea. I don't know if it is true or not. Your Highness and the Great Sage can listen to it and identify it. It has something to do with the Great Sage." The little white dragon's face turned pale for a while. After a while, finally, Xiao Bailong gritted his teeth and said.

"Is it related to my grandson?" Sun Wukong was also a little surprised.

"Yes, Your Highness, Great Sage, you know that the Mantian Immortal Buddha seems to live forever, live the same life as the heaven and the earth, and shine with the sun and the moon, but that is not always the case. Every 500 years, the Mantian Immortal Buddha also suffers from the three disasters of thunder, fire and wind. If one of them is not good, it will disappear. Of course, top-notch powers like the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Tathagata and Buddha are excluded, as well as the gods who have been on the list of gods and have been conferred." Xiaobailong said quietly.

"Then how come my old grandson has never heard of the three disasters, such as the gods in heaven and the Buddhas and Arhats in Lingshan?" Sun Wukong asked.

"That's because there is a way to deal with it, and there are four ways to deal with it: first, to resist hard, because it is hard to resist the three disasters, such immortals and Buddhas are often extremely powerful and invincible at the same level; second, to practice skills, For example, the 72 transformations of Disha and the 36 transformations of Tiangang practiced by the Great Sage, but the threshold of these two exercises is extremely high, and ordinary immortals and Buddhas cannot practice at all; "

"Third, why does the Queen Mother hold a peach banquet every 500 years by eating panacea? It is to let the immortals and Buddhas eat the peaches to survive the three disasters. However, the last peach feast was 500 years ago. The peach banquet was destroyed by the Great Sage, so there is not enough peaches, and the heavenly court and the Buddhist sect are becoming more and more dirty, so the heavenly court took this opportunity to not provide the Buddhist sect with peaches to help them overcome the catastrophe." Xiao Bailong spoke more and more fluently.

"I hope that the Buddhist sect will not grit my teeth at my grandson, wishing to smash my grandson into thousands of pieces, and wish that the Buddha will not oppress my grandson for 500 years, but if there is no flat peach in Buddhism, how can we survive these three disasters? Tathagata Buddha, Ran Denggu The Buddha and the Four Great Bodhisattvas are easy to say, they have great powers and can overcome the three disasters, how will those Buddhas and Arhats survive?" Sun Wukong asked.

"Jin Chanzi." Xiao Bailong exhaled and said.

"Could it be that the Buddhas and Arhats in Lingshan survived the three disasters by eating the meat of golden cicadas?" Yang Xin said suddenly, and at the same time he had a faint realization in his heart: "No wonder it is said that one bite of Tang monk's meat can make you live forever. , come from nowhere, it may not be without reason."

"Yes!" Xiao Bailong said in a deep voice.

"Hiss~" Sun Wukong took a deep breath, and when he thought of the Buddhas and Arhats in Lingshan eating up the golden cicada, he couldn't help but shudder.

"The effect of the golden cicada's meat is not as good as that of flat peaches. It can only delay the three disasters, and it can only be delayed for 50 years at a time. Therefore, the golden cicada has been reincarnated for ten times, each for 50 years, and has now been reincarnated for the ninth time." , this life is the tenth." Xiao Bailong said.

"Eating golden cicadas can only solve temporary dangers, and this method is too cruel, it is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. Buddhism either bows to the heavens or breaks the situation. I guess, the last way for the immortals and Buddhas to survive the three disasters." The method is to obtain merit, and get through the three disasters by obtaining a large amount of merit, right?" Yang Xin said.
