Invincible from nine bulls and two tigers

Chapter 224 Buddha’s plan! (4k)

"scoff~"

I saw the huge pig demon falling into the river.

The skinny monkey demon suddenly sneered, his face full of ridicule.

Beside him, a big man with an ugly face like a yaksha opened his mouth to say something.

But in the end he chose to keep silent.

Tang Sanzang seemed not to notice these changes.

Looking at the vast, seemingly endless river in front of me.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke slowly.

"The Buddha said 81 difficulties, we have already overcome [-] difficulties."

"The vast river in front of us should be the last difficulty."

Having said this, he clasped his hands and recited scriptures.

Suddenly, Buddha's light shone through the void, and golden lotuses emerged.

Then a huge lotus platform emerged, lifting the pig demon that fell into the river and was struggling.

Behind him, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the monkey demon, and his face gradually became solemn.

"Thank you Master for saving me! Thank you Master for saving me!"

After the pig demon returned to the shore, he immediately opened his mouth and spit out river water.

Then he knelt down and kowtowed to Tang Sanzang.

"It's okay, get up."

Tang Sanzang said casually.

The pig demon quickly stood up and said solemnly.

"There's something weird about this river. Just after I flew above the river, all my strength was gone, and I felt like I had turned into an ordinary person."

"If Master hadn't rescued me in time, I might have drowned in the river."

Tang Sanzang nodded, then turned to look at the monkey demon behind him and said aloud.

"Wukong has fiery eyes and golden eyes, can you see any clues?"

When Sun Wukong heard this, he drooped his head, lowered his eyes, and responded lightly.

"You already know, why do you need to ask me?"

A smile appeared on Tang Sanzang's face, and he continued.

"As a teacher, I just want to hear your opinion."

In an instant, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and the atmosphere suddenly solidified.

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly raised his head, with fire blooming in his eyes.

"Oh, Brother Monkey, Master just wants to ask your opinion, so just tell me."

Seeing this situation, Zhu Bajie quickly ran to Sun Wukong, then looked at Tang Sanzang and said with a smile.

"Yes, Senior Brother, just tell me."

Sha Seng, who had been silent all this time, looked at the two opposing parties, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke out.

"Ah."

Sun Wukong sneered.

The flames in the eyes receded, and then he spoke.

"The thing in front of me looks like a river but not a river. Of course it is impossible to fly over."

"As for how to get through it, Master should have already figured it out in his mind."

After hearing Sun Wukong's answer, or seeing his bowed posture, Tang Sanzang nodded.

Then he turned around and looked at the vast river in front of him, and said.

"Wukong is right, the river in front of us is not a real river."

"What flows in it is the four sufferings of all beings."

"Greed, hatred and ignorance, not getting what you want, resentment and hatred meeting, love parting."

"Unless you fully understand the four sufferings of life, it will be difficult to cross this river."

Having said this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up into the distance, seeming to see the other end of the river bank.

"As long as you cross this river, you can step into the Lingshan Mountain, meet the Buddha in person, and obtain the true scriptures."

He murmured from the corner of his mouth. There was no enthusiasm or excitement in his tone, only calmness without any disturbance.

Sun Wukong didn't say anything anymore, his head drooped again, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhu Bajie quickly ran to Tang Sanzang's side and asked aloud.

"Master, I can't even understand the four sufferings of life you are talking about. How can I understand them?"

Tang Sanzang turned to look at him and said with a kind face.

"It's okay, as a teacher, I have my own way. Even if I can't understand it, I can take you there as a teacher."

A joyful expression suddenly appeared on Zhu Bajie's face, and when he looked at the raging river, he no longer seemed afraid.

Sha Monk put down the heavy objects on his shoulders and followed him to the river bank.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke out.

"Master, I am also very stupid. I dare to ask Master how to take us there?"

Tang Sanzang smiled and then said.

"If you have a Buddha in your heart, you will naturally be able to cross this river."

"Bajie, Wujing, don't worry, you are all people who sincerely worship the Buddha."

"This is the river of four sufferings in life. People from Lingshan will come to help you cross the river later."

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

The master only talked about the two of them, but said nothing about the senior brother.

Thinking about it, Master still has a lot of grudges against his senior brother.

During these decades of learning, I don’t know why Master has become stronger and stronger.

Now he is even so arrogant that neither of them can clearly see his depth.

But according to Master, at the beginning of his Buddhist journey, he was just an ordinary person who understood Buddhism.

At that time, his behavior and safety were all protected by his senior brother.

Now that it is close to Lingshan, it is only one step away from obtaining the scriptures and gaining the Buddha's favor.

If at this last moment, the master expels the senior brother from the Buddhist scriptures gathering team.

For the eldest brother, it is too cruel.

The two were silent for a moment, just when they were about to decide what to say for Sun Wukong.

Across the river, a black spot suddenly appeared.

After a few breaths of time, the black spot became bigger and bigger.

Several people on the river bank stared at the past and saw an old man holding a bamboo raft swimming towards the direction of the people.

"How many donors want to cross the Tongtian River?"

At first it looked like there was still some distance, but in the blink of an eye, the other party was already approaching several people.

Looking at the four people on the river bank with a smile on his face, he asked.

"Amitabha~"

"This old man, the four poor monks and his disciples came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty and are trying to cross this big river."

"I am worried about the endless river, but luckily you are here."

Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together, whispered the Buddha's name, and then said to the old man in front of him with a smile.

When the old man heard this, he was not surprised. He followed Tang Sanzang's example, clasped his hands and bowed in return.

"It turns out that they are eminent monks from the Tang Dynasty in the East. Please get on the boat. I will send you to the other side of the river."

The old man glanced at the three people on the river bank, and then looked behind the three people, Sun Wukong with his head hanging down.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes. Then he turned his head towards Tang Sanzang and said with a smile.

After hearing the old man's words, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng suddenly showed excited expressions on their faces.

They were originally just ordinary people practicing martial arts, but they mutated one day for unknown reasons.One person turned into a monster with a pig head and a human body, and the other turned into a Yaksha with an ugly face.

The two searched for famous doctors and asked many powerful human beings.

Either they were told that there was no cure, or they were shot by those strong men as monsters.

Just when the two were in despair, an existence called Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared.

She told the two of them that there would be a monk from the Tang Dynasty who would go to Lingshan to obtain the true scriptures.

As long as the two of them protect the monk's safety and go to Lingshan Mountain with him to obtain the scriptures.

At that time, the Buddha will take action to restore the two people to their original appearance.

So now it is only one step away from Lingshan, and then it can return to its original appearance.

That's why the two of them became so excited at this time.

For a moment, he also forgot about the unhappiness between his master and his senior brother.

The two people quickly jumped onto the old man's bamboo raft. They were huge, but the bamboo raft did not shake at all.

"Master, senior brother, come up quickly!"

Zhu Bajie waved to the two people on the shore and said loudly.

The old man also looked at Tang Sanzang on the river bank.

Tang Sanzang shook his head at this time and said slowly.

"Old man, your bamboo raft is a bit small, but my disciples are huge."

"The wind and waves on the river bank are extremely strong at this time. If all four of us, master and disciple, come up, there will inevitably be risks."

"If you don't want to suffer a lot, send my two disciples to the other side of the river first, and then come and pick us up."

"The poor monk and my great disciple are waiting right here. What do you think?"

The old man didn't hesitate, nodded, said hello with a smile, then propped up the bamboo pole and started swimming towards the other side of the river.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, who were sitting on the bamboo raft, made no movement at all.

Faintly, a faint Buddha light could be seen blooming in the eyes of the two people.

Wait until the bamboo raft turns into a black dot again and then disappears from sight.

Silence fell on the river bank.

"Should I call you Tang Sanzang or Gautama?"

Suddenly, Sun Wukong's calm voice sounded in the void.

Tang Sanzang raised his brows slightly, then slowly turned around and looked at the skinny monkey demon who was looking up at him.

"When did you find out?"

The undiscovered surprise in his tone is still calm without waves.

Sun Wukong sneered when he heard this, then scratched his ears and said aloud.

"Since you and I met, you were so fragile that you couldn't even deal with a wild beast."

"But later on, there are 81 difficulties, and every time you overcome them, you will become stronger."

"Such an obvious change, and you didn't deliberately cover it up, I won't just pretend to be ignorant and fool it."

Tang Sanzang nodded when he heard this, and then thought for a moment before speaking out again.

"Since I was born, I have been suffering from various misfortunes."

"So my 81 difficulties didn't start from seeking Buddhist scriptures, but started from the time I was born."

"But before I met you, I still thought I was just an ordinary Buddhist believer."

"Until the day you appear, the moment you admit that you are Sun Wukong, the seal in my body will be missing."

Having said this, Tang Sanzang looked in the direction of Datang, narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued.

"The Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to bring the fortune of Buddhism and Confucianism into the Tang Dynasty, and use the fortune of the country to push him to the realm of the great emperor."

"But the poor monk wants to take advantage of his plan and bring some of the most prosperous people in the Tang Dynasty into Buddhism to enhance my Buddhist destiny."

"In addition, we will take this opportunity to move Lingshan to the Sizhou Continent, the origin of the human race and the place where the Tao is attained."

"Compared between the two, I am more than one step ahead of him."

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes slightly, took out a silver needle from his ear, and then asked.

"So this is why you sent those two idiots over first?"

"However, how can a person's luck compare to that of a country, let alone a big country like the Tang Dynasty that occupies a single continent?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Tang Sanzang's mouth, and he said slowly.

"If it were an ordinary secular world, that would indeed be the case."

"But this is not an ordinary world. A person's luck can far exceed that of a country!"

"Li Shimin really ignored this point when he looked at the fate of the country."

"Bajie and Wujing's fortunes are at their peak, accounting for half of the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty!"

"So, tell me, why don't I send them to Lingshan in a hurry?"

Sun Wukong frowned slightly, and the silver needle in his hand continued to grow in size until it turned into a long red stick that looked like it was cast from lava.

"Then why did you design me again? I'm not from Datang."

There was a cold light in his eyes as he looked at the monk who looked calm and confident.

After hearing Sun Wukong's words, Tang Sanzang laughed, and then looked at Sun Wukong with a trace of fire in his eyes.

"Your heels and feet are innate divine objects, not some monster."

"So the luck in you is so strong that you can almost be the emperor chosen by heaven and earth."

"Even if you are not from the Tang Dynasty, your luck belongs to the human race."

"As long as I can bring you into Buddhism, there will be no obstacles in my path to becoming emperor!"

At this point, Tang Sanzang almost laughed out loud.

Designing a journey to the west, hiding the truth from the sky, and now there is only one step left to collect the strongest luck from the human race.

By then, Buddhism's fortune will be at its peak, and I will be able to seize the opportunity first and reach the realm of the Great Emperor!

"That depends on whether you have the ability to take away the luck from my old grandson!"

The cold light in Sun Wukong's eyes reached its peak in an instant.

Then the whole person jumped up and shouted suddenly.

The long red stick in his hand, which looked like it was cast from magma, immediately fell towards Tang Sanzang!

Tang Sanzang looked calm, and countless golden lotuses suddenly emerged from under his feet. One of them was so huge that the lotus leaves immediately enveloped him.

The golden hoop carried overwhelming power, blasted countless golden lotuses, and suddenly landed on the lotus leaves.

Boom! !

In an instant, violent roars resounded in all directions.

Sun Wukong took a few steps back, and the lotus leaves slowly dispersed, revealing Tang Sanzang's figure.

"With your ability, I really can't restrain you under Wuzhi Mountain."

"Those who can do this are the only ones among the entire human race, if you think about it carefully."

"Aren't you discouraged? I have the support of the emperor. No matter how hard you struggle, you can't escape the fate of being transferred to Buddhism."

Tang Sanzang spoke to Sun Wukong again.

"Shut up Laozi!!"

Hearing these words, Sun Wukong's eyes instantly turned red.

All the energy in his body suddenly became extremely violent.

Tang Sanzang's lips were filled with mockery.

"Are you angry? Let me think about it, who is it that bound you to Wuzhi Mountain?"

"Could it be that the teacher who taught you magical powers?"

boom! !

At that moment, majestic and violent Qi soared into the sky.

Dark clouds gathered above the two of them, and the sky and the earth suddenly turned into darkness.
