Soul Ferry: My master is Uncle Jiu

Chapter 520: Finally Arrived at Lingshan
"Master An, I'll wait for you at Lingshan."

Tathagata's words gave An Yan a bad feeling. Could it be that he was setting up a Hongmen Banquet for him?

Looking at Tathagata going west, An Yan fell into deep thought.

After receiving the baptism from the Buddha, Tang Sanzang regained his spirit and said, "I am obsessed with appearances. If everyone has no distracting thoughts and is wholeheartedly doing good, then there is no need for me to travel west to obtain the scriptures."

"It is precisely because the world is ignorant that I need to travel thousands of miles to the west and go through untold hardships to seek the true scriptures and save the world."

"Namo Amitabha!"

Tang Sanzang's pious words attracted An Yan's attention. Looking at the huge change in Tang Sanzang, he carefully asked: "Sanzang, do you want to drink wine and eat meat?"

"Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but remain in the Buddha's heart. Today I have broken through the illusion and seen the great way, which is worthy of congratulations." Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together and said.

"Bajie, go get some wine and food."

"Okay, Master."

Seeing his master still eating meat and drinking wine, Zhu Bajie didn't feel anything was wrong. He ran to buy wine and food happily. He had been eating very little these days.

Tang Sanzang's attitude made An Yan wonder if he was worrying too much.

After all, Buddhism emphasizes sudden enlightenment. What if Tripitaka had a sudden enlightenment?
No matter what, he kept it in mind.

After thinking carefully about what Tathagata said, he was not so worried anymore.

Because the words of the Taoist Ancestor came first.

They will not attack me again until the journey to the west is completed.

In other words, he was safe on Lingshan Mountain, and the biggest problem would come after leaving Lingshan Mountain.

"Quasi-saint! Quasi-saint!"

An Yan sighed. If he had the cultivation level of a quasi-saint, who would dare to cause trouble for him?

So, when he set out on the journey to the West again, he practiced even harder.

I don't ask to break through to the quasi-saint level before reaching Lingshan, but I just hope to make some progress.

Influenced by An Yan, many people also joined the ranks of cultivation.

Even Zhu Bajie felt embarrassed to be lazy.

With Daozu's intimidation, no one took action along the way.

In this situation, An Yan and his team could be said to have crushed their entire team. The merits and fortune from the Journey to the West were quickly plundered by An Yan and all converted into nourishment for cultivation.

The difficulties of a monk saving his son, being trapped in a bottomless cave, destroying the Dharma country, praying for rain in Fengxian County, and seeking marriage in Tianzhu were easily overcome.

In a blink of an eye, several years passed.

Finally, Lingshan Mountain is within sight.

As you get closer to Lingshan Mountain, all evil things disappear without a trace, and the ground is filled with beautiful flowers, rare herbs, ancient cypresses and ancient pines, creating a peaceful and vibrant scene.

Wherever he passed, every family tried to be kind and offered food to monks. Some even kowtowed devoutly with every step, just to see the true Buddha at Lingshan.

Under the mountains, there are Buddhist believers practicing in seclusion.

Among the trees, monks are chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha.

Under such circumstances, An Yan's preaching became increasingly difficult, and in the end no one was willing to listen.

Faced with this phenomenon, An Yan was helpless.

This is the Western Buddha Land, and the Taoist sect has never penetrated here. The people here don’t even know what Taoism is. In their eyes, Buddha is supreme.

One day, An Yan and his companions were walking when they suddenly saw tall buildings appearing in front of them, pavilions and towers stretching out, pagodas standing in rows, and a solemn Buddhist land.

The chanting sounds of Buddha, Arhats and nuns came from the front, giving people a feeling of emptying their minds and surviving the sufferings of the world.

In front of An Yan and the others, some Buddhist believers were so excited that they knelt down with their palms folded, chanting Buddhist scriptures, and sat there with smiles on their faces. They were able to see Lingshan and ascend to the Western Paradise.

This scene made An Yan and the others feel uneasy.

Only Tang Sanzang still had a smile on his face, nodding and praising him, "Well done, well done. Your merits in this life will be fulfilled and you will ascend to the paradise. In the next life, you will definitely be reborn in a good family."

"Sanzang, no, I should call you Jin Chanzi."

Anyan sighed.

If it were the Tang Sanzang of the past, he would never have said such words.

The only one who could say such words with a calm smile was Tathagata's second disciple, Jin Chanzi.

As soon as An Yan said this, Sun Wukong, who was leading the horse for Tang Sanzang, was startled. He hurriedly loosened the reins, conjured up the golden cudgel and held it in his hand, looking vigilantly at Tang Sanzang, who was full of Buddhist nature on the white horse.

"Ever since Lion Camel Ridge, I've felt something strange. I never thought that someone else had changed inside."

"Monster, please come out of my master's body."

Sun Wukong only recognized Tang Sanzang, a human being, as his master, and not Jin Chanzi who wanted to convert him into the Fighting and Victorious Buddha.

Seeing that he had been exposed, Jin Chanzi no longer tried to hide his true identity. He put his palms together with a compassionate look on his face and said, "Namo Amitabha, you are obsessed with appearances. Jin Chanzi is Tang Sanzang, and Tang Sanzang is Jin Chanzi."

"I am him and he is me."

"Wukong, since you have converted to Buddhism, you should be faithful to it."

"Bullshit, I only promised Guanyin to protect you on your journey to the West. I never promised to join your Buddhist sect." Sun Wukong pouted and retorted. He didn't care about any bullshit Fighting Buddha. He just wanted to be the Monkey King.

"Wuneng, Wujing, what about you?"

Seeing that Sun Wukong was determined, Jin Chanzi turned his attention to Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng.

Zhu Bajie shook his head without even thinking about it, pretending to smile innocently and said, "Master, I am used to being casual. There are too many Buddhist rules and regulations, which are not suitable for me."

Sha Seng looked gloomy and uncertain, but finally made a choice, "Master, I am willing to convert to Buddhism."

"Ah."

There was only one monk named Sha who wanted to convert to Buddhism, but Jin Chanzi showed no interest in him.

Compared with the first two, Monk Sha is really nothing.

Unwilling to give up, Jin Chanzi actually reached out his hand to An Yan, and said to Ao Lie, "Ao Lie, you were originally ordered by Guanyin to be my mount in Yingchoujian. Now that the sacred mountain is right in front of you, why don't you turn back?"

Ao Lie didn't expect that Jin Chanzi would dare to bring up the past after knowing his current identity. He refused without hesitation: "I am the Third Prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, and my master is An Yan. How can I turn back from my mistakes?"

"Are you afraid that An Yan will retaliate against you later? You can rest assured about this. We are already at the foot of the sacred mountain."

Now that the relationship has been exposed, Jin Chanzi no longer pretends and speaks fearlessly.

At this time, An Yan smiled, and his smile was very cold, "Jin Chanzi, who gave you the illusion that I wouldn't dare to deal with you in Lingshan?"

"You dare to touch even my disciples. Do you really think you are the Tathagata Buddha?"

"Get out of Sanzang's body!"

An Yan stretched out his big hand and grabbed Jin Chanzi's bald head.

Facing the Daluo existence An Yan, Jin Chanzi, who had not yet recovered his strength and only had the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal, was completely helpless. A hint of fear finally appeared in his arrogant look.

"How dare you attack me! My master is Tathagata Buddha!"

"Come out here!"

An Yan ignored him and grabbed Jin Chanzi's soul with his big hand like an eagle catching a chick.
