Journey to the West Bandits: The Poor Monk Just Wants to Be a Godfather

Chapter 397 Master and apprentice return to Huaguo Mountain

Originally, Tang Sanyi wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that the Tathagata Buddha asked for help from him to ask clearly about the situation in Huaguo Mountain.

But now it seems that the things behind Huaguo Mountain are too deep.

Even Tathagata Buddha knows very little about the inside story.

Tathagata Buddha sighed and said: "It concerns the demon clan, and the saint deliberately concealed what happened back then, so no one in the Three Realms should know the specific situation now."

"I can only say that the existence of Sun Xingzhe is of great significance to the saint, and it is not as simple as letting him become the apprentice of the Buddhist disciple!"

Among the three apprentices designated by Buddhism as Buddhist scripture collectors, the Eight Realms and the Killings were all sent to the lower realms to participate in the calamity measurement by the Heavenly Court for any reason.

Only for Sun Xing, not only did the saint directly intervene, but he even set up the plan more than 500 years in advance in order for him to participate in the calamity.

This level of attention has even far surpassed Tang San's burial as a Buddhist scripture collector!
Tathagata Buddha had long been puzzled, but he asked the sage several times, but the sage did not give him any answer.

Over time, Tathagata Buddha no longer cared.

Tang Sanzian sighed and said: "Since you don't know, forget it. When the time comes, I will take the little monkey to the Water Curtain Cave of Huaguo Mountain in person. After settling the matter there, I will go to Beiju Luzhou to obtain scriptures." .”

Upon hearing this, Tathagata Buddha's face was happy at first, but then he frowned.

There is a saint's plan in Huaguoshan, and even he doesn't dare to interfere too much.

Although Tang San was a Buddhist scripture seeker, if he angered the saint because of this...

Tathagata Buddha said with a serious face: "Three Burials, please listen to my advice. It's better not to go to the Huaguo Mountain!"

"Even if you have a good relationship with Zhen Yuanzi and obtain Yuantu Abi's two divine swords, you are still an ant beneath the saint!"

Tang Sanzian's expression did not change at all, and his voice remained calm as he said: "It doesn't matter, I have a plan in mind."

Seeing Tang Sanzian's determined look, Tathagata Buddha shook his head and stopped giving any more advice.

His main purpose of going down to the lower realm this time was to allow Tang San to embark on the journey to obtain scriptures.

Now that the purpose has been achieved, there is no point in staying here.

Before leaving, Tang Sanzian suddenly asked: "Do you know when Monk Bianji will set off?"

Tathagata Buddha paused and shook his head: "It's not clear yet, but it should be soon!"

"Moonlight Bodhisattva has found him a new disciple and mount in heaven."

"I forgot to tell you, if nothing else happens, Monk Bianji's eldest disciple should be the White Crane Boy from the Antarctic Immortal. As for the mount, it is Zhang Guolao's donkey."

"It is estimated that Moonlight Bodhisattva will also complete the selection of other apprentice candidates in the next few days."

After Tathagata Buddha left these few words, he left directly.

Tang San was sitting on the sofa in silence for a long time.

The daughter of the king walked out of the bedroom, sat next to Tang Sanzong, and said in a soft voice: "It seems that you have reached an agreement with Tathagata Buddha to go to Luzhou in Beiju to get scriptures?"

In the past few days, the daughter king has probably understood the cause of the snow disaster in the Tang Dynasty.

Coupled with the fact that Tathagata Buddha himself went down to the realm, she naturally guessed the general story of what happened with her intelligence.

Tang Sanzian nodded: "I originally wanted to put off going to Beiju Luzhou to learn Buddhist scriptures, but now something unexpected happened and I had to leave early."

The daughter king didn't have much emotional fluctuations. She held Tang Sanzian's palm tightly with her backhand and said softly: "No matter what decision you make, I will support you!"

"I just hope you can come back safely!"

Tang Sanzong patted the back of his daughter King's hand: "I know, don't worry!"

...On the second day, the heavy snow that had fallen for several days finally stopped, and Datang ushered in a rare sunny day.

Tang Sanbian knew that this should be the result of Tathagata going to heaven to negotiate with the Jade Emperor.

After Tang Sanzong and Li Shimin talked about the Buddhist scriptures in Luzhou, Beiju, he and a few disciples got into the Hummer without alerting anyone.

The daughter of the king stayed in the Evernight City to guard the family for Tang San's burial.

Now the Daughter Kingdom has become the springboard for the Tang Dynasty's Western Expedition. There are many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty stationed there. Even if the Daughter King does not go back, nothing unexpected will happen.

After leaving Chang'an City, Tang San was sitting in the Humvee and said with a serious face: "Little monkey, before we go to Beiju Luzhou to learn scriptures this time, let's go to Huaguo Mountain first!"

Sun Xingzhe, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly trembled. He turned his head and looked at Tang Sanbian in surprise: "Master, Beiju Luzhou has to go north. Huaguoshang is in the east. Isn't it convenient?"

Tang Sanbun waved his hand: "My master promised you when I was at Shituoling that after returning from Lingshan Mountain, I would go to Huaguo Mountain to rescue your soul that was sealed in the Water Curtain Cave."

"Although we have not obtained the scriptures now, we have returned from Lingshan. It is time to settle this matter."

Sun Xingzhe hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, the matter in Shuiliandong involves the planning of a saint..."

"It's okay!"

Tang Sanbian raised his hand and directly interrupted Sun Xingzhe: "Master has a premonition that this trip to Luzhou in Beiju will be extremely dangerous. I will help you resolve this matter first, so that you can go on the journey without any worries!"

"Master!"

Sun Xingzhe's eyes instantly turned red.

In fact, during the past few days in Datang, he had already been thinking about this matter.

It's just that the master failed to obtain scriptures at Lingshan, and the Buddhist sect wanted to go to Luzhou, Beiju, to obtain scriptures, so Sun Xingzhe had to suppress his thoughts.

I thought I would go to Huaguo Mountain with Master after completing the Buddhist scripture study in Luzhou, Beiju.

Unexpectedly, Master actually brought it up at this time.

Tang Sanzian gently touched Sun Xingzhe's head and said in a soft voice: "Little monkey, you were the first to follow me out to hang out."

"You must do what I promised you as a teacher!"

Sun Xingzhe nodded fiercely.

Zhu Bajie also patted his chest and said: "Brother Monkey's matter is my old pig's matter!"

"Brother Monkey, don't worry. No matter what happens to you, Old Pig, I have to help out!"

Zha Wujin was dull and dull. He was not as eloquent as Zhu Bajie. He tilted his head and thought for a long time, and finally only choked out a few words: "Senior Brother, I am the same!"

Even Aaron's voice came from outside the car: "Senior brother, we are all on the same team and we share blessings and hardships!"

"Didn't you also help me catch the Nine-Headed Insect?"

"If there are difficulties, let's face them together!"

As long as they weren't taking the route, the Hummer was extremely fast. It didn't take long before they arrived at Huaguo Mountain and stopped in the distance.

It's just that in everyone's imagination, the beautiful Huaguoshan Mountain no longer exists, and everywhere in front of them are the ruins left after being burned by fire.

There is not a single spiritual fruit in the entire Huaguo Mountain, and there is no life at all.

The legendary Cave Heaven and Paradise now looks like a devastated wasteland!
