Chapter 300: Tang Monk and his disciples eat instant noodles

"Xiaobai, you did a great job."

Ding Hai praised the White Bone Demon.

After all, the drama of "Three Fights with the White Bone Demon" is not being performed in Baihu Ridge now.

It can be said that it was able to change the fate of the White Bone Demon.

"Thank you for the compliment, Boss."

The White Bone Demon replied.

"This is for you. It's a reward for you this time."

Ding Hai took out a ginseng fruit and handed it to the White Bone Demon.

"This~this is a ginseng fruit?! Can I really accept it?"

Bai Gu Jing was very surprised.

"Of course, I'll give it to you. After you take it, it can help you improve your cultivation. At least it can help you break through to the next level and let you enjoy eternal life for ten thousand years. This way, you don't have to worry about immortality."

Ding Hai said.

"Thank you, boss." Bai Gu Jing took the ginseng fruit and swallowed it impatiently.

A surge of power surged out from her body, loosening the long-standing bottleneck in his cultivation. He only needed one final step to break through to the next level.

"Okay, go practice now and try to come out of seclusion as soon as possible. Leave the master and the disciples to me."

Ding Hai nodded.

"Thank you very much, sir."

The White Bone Demon responded happily, then left the house and went back to the White Bone Cave to prepare for a retreat and breakthrough.

Seeing that the White Bone Demon had left, Ding Hai looked towards a certain direction of the sky.

"I think Guanyin will be here soon. We need to get ready."

After all, this time the Wuzhuang Temple and Baihu Ridge were destroyed. The Buddhists should have realized that this matter is definitely not simple.

Guanyin Bodhisattva will definitely appear in person to check on the situation of Tang Seng and his three companions.

So it is not convenient for Xiaobai to appear at this time.

After all, it is Bugs Bunny who has to compete with the Bodhisattva in wits and courage.

After bathing, Tang Seng and his disciples returned to the house and lay on their respective beds. After nightfall, Zhu Bajie snored like thunder, but fortunately, Monkey King cast a silencing spell on the second brother directly to block out his snoring.

Only then could everyone fall asleep peacefully.

The next day, the sun rose from the top of the mountain, and the first ray of sunlight in the morning sprinkled on the top of the highest peak of Baihu Ridge, then began to spread and fell on the tiles of the house.

The sunlight came in through the window, causing the sleeping Tang Sanzang to open his eyes and become the first to wake up.

He stood up and looked at his three disciples who were still sleeping, but did not disturb them. Instead, he tidied his clothes and went out to get a basin of water to wash up.

"Wow! Elder Tang is here so early!"

A familiar voice sounded.

Tang Seng was slightly stunned: "What is this sound?"

He turned around and saw that it was indeed the Bugs Bunny donor he had met before.

"Amitabha, I have met the donor, Mr. Rabbit. I wonder why you are here?"

Tang Sanzang was also very puzzled. He had clearly met Ding Hai before at Wuzhuang Temple, and now they met again so soon.

"The White Bone Lady who is entertaining you is my subordinate. It just so happens that she is about to break through, and I happened to be passing by, so I asked her to go into seclusion to break through, and I will take her place to entertain you, master and disciple."

Ding Hai responded.

"I see. However, we are already very grateful to the donor for hosting us last night. How can we trouble you again?"

Tang Sanzang said.

"You are too polite, Elder Tang. Confucius said, 'Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?' Since meeting is fate, why bother or not?"

Ding Hai waved his hand.

"This..." Tang Sanzang was still a little hesitant.

"Don't worry, I will treat the elders to some breakfast later. It won't take too long. After the elders have enjoyed their breakfast, we can continue our journey to obtain the scriptures."

"Then thank you, Mr. Rabbit."

After a few polite words, Tang Sanzang began to discuss the relevant Zen with Ding Hai. It must be said that Tang Sanzang, as the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi and a great monk of the Tang Dynasty, is quite capable.

Ding Hai also gained a lot of insights from it.

Although Buddhism and Taoism are two different sects, ultimately they are both sects that pursue the way of heaven and conform to nature, and they are both religions that promote spiritual cultivation.

However, Ding Hai grew up under the red flag, so naturally he would not listen to the marketing-like things in religion. After all, he believes in materialism.

Although this world has some idealism,
Ding Hai continued to speak to Tang Sanzang:

"Elder, I have something to discuss with you, can you please?"

"of course can."

Tang Sanzang naturally welcomed people to discuss Buddhism and Taoism with him. No matter whether it was Buddhism or Taoism, it was all about discussing the Tao, that is, communicating with each other and exchanging their own experiences in practice.

No matter where you are or what your status is, you need to communicate with each other and not work in isolation.

"Well, elder, may I ask what is the origin of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism?"

Tang Sanzang thought for a while and said: "I think that Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are all empty and nothing, and all three can govern people's world, mind and body."

Ding Hai nodded: "Elder, that's a good point, but in my opinion, these three can be summarized in one word."

"Oh? Please go ahead, benefactor."

"But in my opinion, the root of the three is the right awakening, not the supernatural powers, but seeing the heart and nature, discarding the false and retaining the true."

After hearing this, Tang Sanzang seemed to feel that this sentence was somewhat novel, and he had not yet given a specific explanation of these three.

But today I heard some unusual opinions.

"All three have the same goal, which is to relieve the troubles of ordinary people. But nowadays, when ordinary people encounter problems, they burn incense and pray to the gods in heaven for protection, instead of taking action to solve the problems themselves."

"The three schools of thought are actually to guide all living things in the world to stick to their original intentions. Practice is the only standard for testing the truth. Praying to gods and Buddhas is all in vain as if there is nothing to rely on."

Ding Hai started to talk nonsense.

But these words were very inspiring to Tang Seng's ears.

He himself is a Buddhist practitioner, so he is naturally clear about the things involved.

In the temples of the Tang Dynasty, I have seen many people praying to gods and Buddhas for their own wishes, but is it really useful?

Did that really solve the problem?

Perhaps the only way to resolve my doubts is to go to the Great Leiyin Temple and ask for the true scriptures from the Buddha.

"Okay, let's put it aside for now. I've prepared some pasta for you. Please, elder, wake up your three disciples."

Ding Hai's voice woke Tang Seng from his thoughts.

Tang Seng did as he was told and went to the room to wake up Zhu Bajie and the other two.

After the three of them washed up and came to the table, they were also surprised to see Ding Hai.

"Hmm? Brother Rabbit? Why are you here?"

The monkey was stunned.

"That White Bone Lady is my subordinate. She left because of something. I am here to entertain you."

"I see, but what is this?"

Sun Wukong pointed to several small buckets on the table that appeared to be made of paper.

"This is called instant noodles. It contains noodles. Just soak it in hot water for a short time and you can eat it. If it's not enough, I have more here, but you need to pour hot water to soak it yourself."

Ding Hai explained.

"Oh? I didn't expect that there are rare things in this world that I, Sun, have never seen!" The monkey became a little interested.

"I also smelled a fragrant aroma of noodles. I have never seen this kind of food before."

Sha Wujing twitched his nose and spoke.

"I think so too. It only takes a short time to make it ready to eat. If this instant noodle can be popularized, it will save a lot of trouble, especially for use during marches, battles or when traveling."

Tang Sanzang also said this.

After all, he had never seen such a thing in the Tang Dynasty, which was known as the Celestial Empire.

Ding Hai just laughed. This thing would only appear more than a thousand years later, so it definitely didn't exist now.

But it has to be said that instant noodles reminded Ding Hai of the days when he had no money to eat in a store when he was looking for a job and had to rely on instant noodles to survive a week.
