live with conscience

"So, you said you came from the crossing department in the underworld?"

Ever since he asked this question and got an affirmative answer, Tang Sanzang never asked Lin Lan any more questions except for seeing her as a rare species all the time.

The target of teasing was transferred to Monkey King.

"Wukong... come and rescue me as a teacher! Robbers... there are robbers!"

The voice is as shrill as it is.

It's just that in the eyes of Lin Lan and Sun Wukong who came back from finding him a good lunch, the group of robbers who were almost dying while he slipped away, but didn't even get stuck to the hem of their robes were more pitiful.

Lin Lan, who was already familiar with the strangeness, floated over directly, became bigger, and hit the ground, a big hole appeared, and all the robbers gasped and threw away their weapons and knelt down and begged for mercy.

Our master Tang Sanzang just put on his tin staff and put on his cassock again: "Okay, disciples, we have a guide, let's go while we eat. We have found a group of people who need my Buddha Purdue, Wukong, wait After I'm full, I will use my strength to teach them how to be human again!"

This kind of drama has happened for the ninth time this month.

Lin Lan said that she didn't understand Master Tang Sanzang.

Knowing how bright and blind his cassock and tin staff are, he still insists on wearing and leaning on them every day.

Especially when passing through villages and towns, he played the image of a stupid holy monk to the woods.

Every time I meet robbers, after teasing them, let them lead the way as long as Brother Monkey has finished intimidating them, throw them to the local government, and stamp the official document by the way.

With a clear purpose, I stopped at the door of the largest and wealthiest family in the village and town, and said this bluffing sentence: "Old/female/this/almsgiver, Amitabha, the poor monk Da Tang drove the imperial envoy, and wanted to go to the west to worship Buddha Tang Sanzang who seeks sutras..."

Then he pretended to lie about eating and drinking, and read the scriptures a few times perfunctorily at most.

It's just perfunctory, I have witnessed his performance in the Buddhist altar in Yao Town, and his behavior in these small villages and towns is simply like a liar, and he does not work hard.

Everywhere I go, I make a big noise, there are forums, and some teach the Dharma, but it's just a show, and the merits and beliefs in my body are not less, but more.

Not only that, but before leaving, he unceremoniously took away all the offerings from others.

All these Lin Lan can be regarded as his personal hobbies, but the most depressing thing is that this unscrupulous master also plays Lin Lan and Monkey King at will.

He was just chanting scriptures, and Lin Lan was going to prescribe medicine for the doctor.

The free, out-of-pocket kind...

Lin Lan seriously suspected that this holy monk of Tang Sanzang was jealous of her medicine shops all over the mortal world!

My brother Monkey is even more pitiful, he is regarded as a thug who can be rented out. Wherever he passes by, the bandits and monsters are all gone, and they are all... low-level little monsters.

Finally, Lin Lan couldn't bear it any longer, and asked out of boredom, "Master, are you making extra money by learning scriptures?"

Tang Sanzang: "I finally found it."

I really want to touch the white stone, but unfortunately, it was slapped away by a white monkey: "Since you call me master, then I will teach you, these are just some small income, the real big income Just like the Holy Demon Town you founded, when you encounter some stingy and unreasonable planes, you don’t need to be polite, you can be as cruel as you can, and you will be bullied if you have a good temper.”

bang~

The thunder on a sunny day seemed to be a warning to Tang Sanzang.

"Don't look at how arrogant the plane is, in fact, they are just toothless tigers. They are powerful, but for us, as long as we are prepared, it is not a problem. All the plane can do is nothing more than It’s just guiding and misleading, unless it turns into a plane spirit, it can’t directly interfere with our actions. This is the rule.”

Tang Sanzang, who ignored the successive thunderclaps, smiled charmingly, and Lin Lan hid directly in Brother Monkey's fur in fright: "We are originally in a relationship of mutual benefit and mutual assistance, which allows us to have a short-term shelter and grow up, and our existence, It usually helps it deal with things it wants to intervene directly but cannot.”

"This is a kind of contract, which belongs to the innate ability of our spirit race. It can communicate with the world. When the plane promises us a place to stay and we land, the contract is established. This kind of contract is invisible and natural. Yes. Both parties to the contract are absolutely equal and fair.”

When Tang Sanzang said this, Xianglei weakly squibped, as if he had a guilty conscience.

"As for the spirits, although most of them are cultivated by the plane, the rare spirits are almost not born from the plane. For example, you..."

Tang Sanzang, who was about to find the little stone, faced Brother Monkey's vigilant golden eyes, and the little stone was completely hidden in his white hair and disappeared: "Okay, I won't tease you, for example, you and me... I didn't come out of the plane either."

"The newborn spirit has not been guided, lacks the awakening of merit and belief, and does not know its relationship and status with the plane. It is often coaxed by some unscrupulous planes and signs unequal contracts."

Lin Lan shivered as she recalled the previous plane, which was a typical representative of the Black Heart plane.

Tang Sanzang locked his eyes on the long hair behind Sun Wukong's ears, found the small stone he was hiding, and continued to pass on his experience: "Actually, normally, ordinary planes would not do such unscrupulous things. They are all generous and generous, even if they are a little cautious, they will not do too much. Because the spirit and the plane have a connection that no one can explain, once the plane has cheated, concealed, or used the spirit, no matter what If you are not discovered by the spirit, you will be sick, or you will be cursed, and this plane will not produce new spirits in the future, and you will be rejected by all spirits."

This is simply a fatal blow to the plane where spirit cannot be lacked for upgrading and growth.

"Therefore, there are two possibilities for the plane that would do this. One is that it has come to an end, it is unable to generate its own spirit, and it has already upgraded a hopeless plane, and the other is that it has developed to the top and has countless spirits. A plane that can no longer grow."

"Even if the former is cursed, they need spirits to increase the level of resources in the plane and avoid destruction, while the latter..." Tang Sanzang sensed the sky thoughtfully: "It is because they don't want to go from prosperity to decline, and they need to control uncontrollable The spirit that belongs to its own plane, in order to use the talent of the spirit, go to other planes, through plunder, assimilate other planes, and continue to grow itself."

Birth and death are normal reincarnation. It is precisely because of the unwilling plane that the reincarnation plane (hell) appears, and there are spirits like them who are constantly fighting for the slim hope.

The choices of the planes are just like the choices of their spirits, and no one has the right to accuse anyone.

bang...

The thunder that had already misfired sounded again.

His voice was stern, obviously a warning.

But Tang Sanzang didn't care: "This plane obviously has this idea, but although you are still a new life, Little Stone, you seem to have a good level of awakening, and you know how to negotiate before entering the plane. You should choose to pay The entry fee, it’s not for the service of the plane.”

Lin Lan wasn't afraid anymore, she jumped onto her monkey brother's hand, bouncing up and down suddenly to show that it was like this.

With the experience of the last two planes, she has no intention of doing other people's tasks at all.

She is no longer interested in positions such as the son of fortune and the darling of the plane.

She's just here to play...

However, as soon as he came, he met Brother Hou, his childhood idol, and his vacation was ruined. Unknowingly, he embarked on the road of planning for Brother Hou to pay off his debts and earn extra money.

"A smart choice." Tang Sanzang praised: "In the future, you can choose the same way. As long as the spirit and the plane are relatively independent and there is no task relationship, then the plane will not be able to induce you to make any choices. At most, it will be ruthless." I want to blackmail you. As long as you have a righteous heart, don't be greedy, don't be evil, and have merit and faith in your body, no matter what the plane is, you will be fine."

"What about the support plane?" It's rare to meet a good person who can answer her questions, so Lin Lan certainly seized the opportunity to ask: "For a while, I seemed to be very eager to support the plane."

Tang Sanzang's eyes looking at rare species popped up again, and Lin Lan almost wanted to hide back on Brother Monkey again, but in the end she bit the bullet and held back.

Seeing him moving his mouth, Lin Lan seemed to want to ask something, but in the end she held back and gave an answer in a somewhat illusory way: "If you don't plan to return to the underworld, then give up this idiot idea."

Without waiting for Lin Lan to ask questions, Tang Sanzang continued quickly: "Have you 'seen' the reincarnation mirror, and you know what kind of existence it is?"

"That is the support plane for all the spirits in our five mansions." The voice was very complicated, anyway, Lin Lan felt that the emotion in it was too heavy: "The spirits of our five mansions are all working hard for its continued existence, surrounded by Almost all the planes around it were snatched back from the chaos one by one by us."

"And we will always, always, make its will our belief and carry on."

"Little Stone, no matter how many planes you have passed through and how many things you have seen, you must remember that there is nothing to gain and nothing to give up, nothing to give up and nothing to gain, nothing can be obtained without paying a price."

Lin Lan looked at Tang Sanzang's back, which was different from his usual coquettish walk, and felt embarrassed to continue asking.

Tang Sanzang (Jin Chan): I have to hold back, I can't ask, I can't ask, it doesn't matter what spirit the little stone is, I just need to know that she is a spirit that is kind to me.

However, a spirit who has just awakened and wants to support the plane must be a very, very rare spirit!

It seems that the altar is swollen and broken.

No, you can't, hold back!

Each spirit is independent, and cannot use its own will to harass and obstruct the thoughts of other spirits.

I am the elder of the spiritual altar, not the bully of the God General's Mansion!

huh huh...

I'm still very curious about what kind of spirit she is.

Isn't that crossing department a place where a group of weak human races want to break through the rules and become spirits?So weak that I almost forget where it exists!

How could such a high-level and rare spirit be produced in such a place!

Really curious to death!

Tang Sanzang (Jin Chan), who is constantly engaged in the battle between heaven and man, his decision at this moment is the most proud and most regrettable decision in his spiritual life.

After the conversation that day was over, they returned to their usual state, with one in front (screaming), and the two demons silently following behind.Unknowingly, there seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two sides, and it was considered safe and sound.

However, gradually, the road became more and more desolate, not to mention robbers, and even human habitation could not be seen.

The biting cold wind came, telling them that winter was coming.

After many days of walking in the mountain stream, it was even more humid and cold. The two of them walked one stone at a time. It didn't seem like they were going to learn scriptures on ascetic journeys, but instead they seemed to be leisurely traveling around the world.

Finally, Tang Sanzang leaned on his tin stick and spoke unhappily: "This is not right. We have been walking for so long, why didn't any checkpoints appear? I shouldn't have gone the wrong way."

Sun Wukong touched the still sleepy brother Shitou in his hand, and he was in a good mood and rarely responded: "I was scared away by you."

Since hearing the conversation between Tang Sanzang and Lin Lan that day, Sun Wukong's attitude towards the holy monk has obviously become much more gentle and kind. At least when he is in a good mood, he will respond to his complaints.

It's just that if you want to touch his younger brother, you can't do it!

He also expressly forbids his younger brother, who is not very defensive, to rush over.

Along the way, his reputation as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven has not been obvious, but this flashy holy monk has made a big splash.

All the people in Jiedao and his party have heard the rumors that the great monk of the Tang Dynasty has extraordinary skills. A tin staff can subdue dragons and tigers. If you see it, hide.

In order to avoid accidental injury, hide away when you see monks.

Because the holy monk likes to pretend to be weak to confuse others.

The monks on the westbound road found that their journey seemed to be much safer and smoother. There were almost no robbers, and the people they encountered along the way were quite kind to them.

"No!" Tang Sanzang, who had never met Jie Dao and was so bored that he was going crazy, insisted on his point of view: "This kind of growth and upgrading journey, without blame and without teammates, is very abnormal."

"Wukong, you have to know that your master and I represent the holy monks of the Eastern Land Tang. This is a major event of the Buddha's will moving eastward. How could it be just the two of us? We have to find teammates first! Right, Xiaolan."

"Even if there are no enemies, there will be calamity. Doesn't it mean that you have to go through hardships to reach the Western Paradise?"

Lin Lan who was awakened: ...

You just want to tell Guanyin to hide in the sky and come down to chat with you, right?

As the main person in charge of learning scriptures, Avalokitesvara is also fascinated in the air at the moment.

It was originally decided that the west would cooperate with the Heavenly Court, travel westward to learn Buddhist scriptures, and clear away the few tough monsters left in the mortal world along the way.

Now passing through Monkey King's demon town.

Do not……

Well, reform, set a precedent.

On the westbound road, peace has basically been cleared.

Goblins don't like cannibalism and robbery anymore, and they all form a group to build a base... Demon Town, work hard to learn skills and make full use of their strengths, so as to cooperate with the heaven and the secular world. No matter how bad it is, they can also mix into the secular world and make a fortune!

Westward Journey?

Believe in Buddhism?

Can it bring traffic and stimulate the economy?

No, no time!

We all have thousands of taels of income for a quarter of an hour, who has time to talk to you monks who are learning scriptures.

Haven't you seen the Bull Demon King and his wife?

Back then, we were not as good as we were, but now, not only do we eat fairy peaches and drink fairy wine every day, but our son also has a relationship with two great sages, not to mention the bright future. The son has jumped out of the demon way and turned himself into the master.

What does that mean? It means that Heaven is already very satisfied with what we goblins have done. We also have a chance and we have to work hard.

what?

Tathagata's personal disciple, Jin Chanzi, can he live forever if he eats it?

You still think that we are that unknowing monster back then!

The great sage Lan said that if he wants to live forever and succeed in proving the Tao, he needs to accumulate countless merits of faith. This kind of heresy is just waiting to be wiped out by the way of heaven, and he will never be reborn!

We have seen sermons from 500 years ago, how terrifying!

The elders you mentioned are the masters of Great Sage Lan and Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the one who opened a grand Buddhist forum in Shengyao Town!

Come on, little ones, copy the guy, this guy actually dared to take the idea of ​​our holy monk, beat me hard, if he is dead and disabled, it will be mine, and he brought a stick, shi, stick, trying to destroy our holy monk and Monkey King's Westward Journey!

Guanyin, as Tathagata's capable general, has always been doing this kind of spreading rumors... no, public relations.

Her skill has always been invincible, and even the civil servants in the heavenly court have no choice but to bow down, but now it is useless, and it hits a wall everywhere, which has a counterproductive effect.

Due to business cooperation, the monsters are closely connected. Recently, they are discussing how to clear the way for the two great sages and holy monks going west.

The demon who was supposed to create difficulties for them on the westbound road has now become a supporter of the westbound journey. Guanyin Bodhisattva said that she is really confused.

And the Heavenly Court also felt that instead of uniting with Buddhism and Taoism to completely wipe them out, it would be better to continue to develop like this, let all the demons be under the control of the Heavenly Court, and be able to remotely control the human world, making the secular world develop better.

I didn't see all the monsters showing their magical powers, but in the past few hundred years, the population of the secular world has doubled several times, and everyone in the heavenly court is too busy to turn around now.

Journey to the West, of course, is still necessary. Buddhism is still very important to us in Middle-earth. We really need the propaganda of Buddhist beliefs. Welcome.

However, there is no need to make it so troublesome, just make sense, why bother to be too serious.

After some exchanges, it was originally a major joint venture project between two powerful companies, but now it has become a hot spot in Western Buddhism and Taoism.

Even the Dragon King of the Four Seas, who wanted to participate so shamelessly, seemed to have forgotten about this matter, and organized the sea monsters to discuss trade exchanges with various monster towns.

The main person in charge is the Third Prince of the Dragon King of Xihai who said at the beginning that even if he was a walking horse, he would have to fight against the team.

Not to mention the cooperative generals originally sent by the Heavenly Court.

Marshal Tianpeng is now the ancestor of Gao Laozhuang, and he is worthy of being Marshal Tianpeng in the past. With the convenience of his status, his personality dictated his success in the human world and the demon world.

General Rolling Curtain also gathered a lot of forces in the Liusha River, mainly attacking the river, and now has a very important position in the demon world.

Although the forces controlled by the two alone cannot be compared with the Holy Demon Town in Wuxing Mountain, but when the two join hands, there is no monster in the demon world that can surprise you.

Both of them completely forgot about the matter of going west, and worked hard to develop their own power.

Originally, the Heavenly Court allowed Western Buddhism and Taoism to enter the Eastern Land because it took a fancy to the reason why Buddhism can make people calm, contentious, and even live a long life.

Immortals originally rely on faith and merit to prolong their lifespan. The source of merit is of course all living beings, and mortals with huge numbers and short lifespans are the favorites of the gods.

Just don't look at the short lifespan of mortals, but the seven emotions and six desires are too strong, the wars have never stopped, and natural disasters continue, the population of the mortal world is growing slowly, but the number of gods in the heavens is constantly increasing, and some of them are in short supply.

There are no people, so how can there be beliefs and merits?

The Tathagata of the West saw the opportunity and went to heaven to promote his Buddhism.

Everyone in the heavenly court saw that under the management of Western Buddhism, the population growth was much faster than that of the East, so they ate Amway from this very honest Tathagata.

They were allowed to come to the east to preach.

So there is such a thing as learning from the scriptures.

But the crossing of faith is a big thing, and the spirits of both parties cannot be lacking.

Ordinary gods certainly cannot do these things.

As a result, the unlucky Jin Chanzi and Monkey King were targeted.

Because both parties regard this matter as a major event, there must be no less gimmicks, let alone weak momentum, and a good time must be picked.

The hard-working Jin Chanzi survived for ten generations, and Monkey King was suppressed for 500 years.

What is certain is that the West and the Heavenly Court have been conspiring for a long time on the matter of taking the Western Classic.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes.

500 years ago, when the plan was just laid out.

Accidentally, our key spirit monkey succeeded in proving the Tao and became an existence that cannot be messed with in the Three Realms and Five Elements.

Immediately afterwards, Demon Town emerged.

The abilities of the monsters are not covered.

Especially after serving mortals with guidance in order to gain merit and belief, the life changes of mortals are simply earth-shaking.

From Heaven's point of view, in fact, there is no Buddhism now, and the human world can develop very well, even exceeding the expectations that Journey to the West can bring.

In such a state, how could Heavenly Court have any intention of cooperating with Western Buddhas?

Buddhism has not yet started traveling to the East, and it has already been discounted.

The helpless Guanyin Bodhisattva wanted to go back and ask the Tathagata for instructions, but it was a pity that the Tathagata suddenly retreated and realized Buddhism 100 years ago.

"Guanyin, long time no see, why don't you come down for a chat?" Tang Sanzang felt that the cloud above his head seemed to want to escape, and called out, "I think we can talk about what I have experienced in detail, which is very helpful for 'sharpening' Ten lifetimes of life."

What an enmity, if it wasn't for Xiao Shitou who helped him gather a hundred thousand believers so that he could display his magic skills and retrieve his memory, his soul would definitely be hopeless and completely degenerate after being hit by the pain of this world , trapped in this plane forever.

Guanyin Bodhisattva: Why has this annoying tone of voice and annoying voice lines remained unchanged after so many lifetimes?I really want to drop a jade bottle!
