Journey to the West: Heavenly Creation

Chapter 107 I am no different from all sentient beings
"There is nothing to be desired in life, and there is no sorrow in death.

The poor monk has already given up life and death, so why use death to show his ambition?

To save or not to save is just one thought, the poor monk chooses... not to save. "

Sanzang repeated what he had just said to show his resolve.

"Oh……"

Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed softly, "I know that the Buddha will be very disappointed if you say that!"

The old mother of Lishan turned to Guanyin Bodhisattva,

"I just said don't test the little monk like this. You insist on driving people to a dead end. If you are an old man, there is no reason to sacrifice yourself for a stranger!"

No, you don't understand!
Manjusri and Puxian Bodhisattva turned to Lishan old mother together.

From teaching to Buddhism, they are more aware of the key points.

What Buddhism values ​​is not the result, but the mind.With the heart to save people, even if you can't do it, you still meet the requirements of the Buddha.

The reason why Sanzang was so sad in this test was that it was his fault whether he chose to save him or not.

If you are saved, you have no view of the overall situation, and you are ignoring your responsibility as a Buddhist learner and the great trust of the Buddha.

If you don't save him, and you don't have a heart of compassion, you still can't entrust the important task of traveling to the west to such a person.

In fact, they were also muttering in their hearts as to how to do this matter, or whether there was a correct answer.

Could it be that the Buddha deliberately made things difficult for Tripitaka?

Several Bodhisattvas looked at Tang Seng and his disciples with a little pity.

"If I were replaced by several Bodhisattvas, what should I do?"

Sanzang began to ask questions.

"Amitabha, follow your heart, there is no right or wrong!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva bowed her body and gave her answer.

"The original heart of the poor monk is... I am no different from all living beings."

Sanzang lowered his head slightly and saluted the three bodhisattvas.

Am I indistinguishable from all living beings?

"All living beings are me, and I am all living beings, there is no difference. Sanzang can let go of his own life and death, and he can also let go of all living beings. The dead are dead. The poor monk has something to do, and he will not sacrifice lightly."

"it is good!"

Layman Jingxuan couldn't bear it anymore and applauded Sanzang,
"It's a good one to do something, to do one's duty, this is a wise and courageous learner!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Li Shan's old mother and several bodhisattvas all focused on him.

It's fine if Tang Sanzang deviates from the scriptures, you are a rolling curtain general, an undercover agent sent by the Jade Emperor to learn the Buddhist scriptures, what kind of coaxing are you following?

"So you beheaded the six thieves with eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, and then angrily beheaded the demon king and demon general at the border of the Sipanha country?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva looks calm, but there is a strange light in his eyes.

Although Sanzang was appointed by the Buddha, she recommended her to learn the Buddhist scriptures. Now that this is happening, she is the one who is in a dilemma.

It turned out to be the case.

Layman Jingxuan brainstormed, and only then did he understand why today's test came.

Tang Sanzang shocked the high-level people in Lingshan by means of a thunderbolt. The Tathagata couldn't sit still, so he sent Guanyin to come up with a test?

"Yes!"

Sanzang showed his upright and stubborn side, and admitted it without hesitation.

you~
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva raised her willow eyebrows upside down, and there was a faint look of anger on her face.

"Bodhisattva, don't worry!"

Wukong immediately jumped out and stood in front of Sanzang, "Today's matter is just a temptation, Bodhisattva, go back and report to the Buddha, saying that my master is merciful and sacrifices himself for others, and saved your old man. That’s enough? If you don’t talk about it, or if I don’t talk about it, who knows. Death is a fake death, and saving is for nothing. The old Buddha didn’t lose anything, did he?”

"You monkey head, don't get twisted!"

The Bodhisattva stretched out his hand, making a gesture to hit Wukong, but stopped halfway, and said,
"On the way to the west, you have to go through countless difficulties and obstacles. If you have any distracting thoughts, you will not be able to reach Lingshan, and you will not be able to obtain the scriptures. How can it be such a joke?"

Whether or not to obtain the scriptures is up to you?
Layman Jingxuan scoffed.

Even if there is no "Tripitaka", the peerless engraved edition of Tang Wang Li Shimin is still in the mind of this layman.

When this thought came to him, he suddenly seemed to remember something.

The spring breeze of Emperor Taizong's smile appeared in front of his eyes,

"The way to govern the country is based on 'benevolence'. This kind of benevolence is not the benevolence of women. It is the courage to do one's duty and sacrifice one's life for benevolence. Although thousands of people will go to the bravery, it is the willingness to be criticized by thousands of people, guarding the belief in the heart and never giving up. steadfast benevolence."

This sentence is obviously not the voice of Emperor Taizong, and Layman Jingxuan is also vague, not sure if it is his own thought, or it is really said by Emperor Taizong.

But this idea was circulating in his heart, and he felt a word suddenly appeared in his eyes:

"Benevolence!"

Uh.
My eyes, my eyes are going blind!
Layman Jingxuan was blinded by the golden light shining on the big font, so he couldn't see the things in front of him.

"Wu Jing!"

Sanzang looked over with concern.

Bajie and Wukong quickly restrained him, opened their eyelids and inspected carefully.

In an instant, Li Shan's old mother and the others in the air were left aside.

"Hmph! Playing again!"

The Bodhisattva was so angry that he waved his sleeves and left angrily.

The two Bodhisattvas Manjusri and Guangxian followed closely behind, and only the old mother of Lishan was left. She glanced at them with pity, "The road to the west is dangerous, you wait... so you can do it yourself!"

The Four Sages left the arena, leaving only Sanzang, his master and his disciples, watching the surrounding courtyards and scenery gradually turn into smoke and dissipate in the air.

The place where they stood was originally a deserted grove.

"It's a good thing Wujing is alert and came up with such a nonsense method,"

Wukong was flabbergasted, the monkey's paws almost tore out Layman Jingxuan's eyeballs, but he didn't see anything unusual, and thought it was a plan Sha Wujing came up with in a hurry, he stopped his hand and said with a smile,

"Master, don't worry. With my grandson on the westbound road, I will not be afraid of any monsters!"

"Hmph, this silly monkey,"

Zhu Bajie sneered disdainfully, "How do you know the tricks of these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas? You may be good to me in front of you, but you may be behind you."

"Idiot! Shut up for my grandson."

Wukong reprimanded him coldly, "You are capable, so why can't you be a good marshal and get kicked out of the pig's womb?"

I.
Zhu Bajie spoke for a while, full of anger, but he didn't express it to Wukong, but turned to layman Jingxuan,

"Then we have to ask our Junior Brother Curtain!"

I'm not a roller blind!

Layman Jingxuan wanted to argue, but then changed his mind, only to find that the lower realm of the canopy had something to do with him.

Lei Shengpuhua Tianzun, Emperor Ziwei and himself set up a situation to kill the rolling curtain, and the Jade Emperor immediately counterattacked and solved the canopy. Is it reasonable?

"Stop arguing!"

Sanzang showed the majesty of a teacher and stopped the quarrel among the disciples, "Since there is nothing to do, let's go in the morning. No matter what the Bodhisattva thinks or does, the sutra must be retrieved."

After speaking, he took a deep look at layman Jingxuan.

Only he had a vague feeling that layman Jingxuan wasn't pretending just now, and that something extraordinary must have happened.

But it's not good for him to ask what it is, so he decided to leave first.

"go!"

Wukong waved his hand, carried the golden cudgel, and walked leisurely to the outside of the forest.

Bajie hastened to lead the horse... As for Sha Wujing, all he had to do was bear the burden.

The four masters and apprentices had just walked out of the pine forest when they heard a voice above their heads,
"Come whenever you want, leave as soon as you say, have you asked me about Wuchao?"

Zen Master Wuchao?

Several people followed the sound and looked over.

I saw in the sky behind me, at some point, there had been a large cloud of auspicious clouds, all of them turned into lotus flowers, covered with layers of mist and thousands of lotus flowers, covering a figure above, casting a brilliant brilliance.

isn't it?
Isn't Zen Master Wuchao from the previous plot?

Layman Jingxuan was puzzled, "Master, you haven't encountered this before... Zen Master Wuchao?"

"Never!"

Sanzang replied indifferently, and looked at Zen Master Wuchao intently, "What advice does Zen Master have?"

"Since I don't have the heart of a bodhisattva, I need the means of a vajra. The Buddha sent me here to compete with the holy monk!"

Zen Master Wuchao landed leisurely, turned into a big-eared monk in a gray cloth monk's robe, stretched his horse, and assumed the posture of a monk.

"Who goes first?"
