Brother Kong Xuan

Chapter 351, Jin Ling: My Buddhist heart is indestructible!

Jin Ling really wanted to refute Bian Zhuang's statement, but if he was really the reincarnation of the Martial Ancestor, then everything seemed to make sense.

For example, up to now, Jin Ling still hasn't figured out why Emperor Tang favors him so much.

To be honest, the Emperor Tang's unquestionable trust in me was the starting point of all this.

Otherwise, why would the Bodhisattva find an unknown little monk to carry out this great event?
"So, you are my disciple's master."

And it was at this moment that Sun Wukong also knelt down in front of Jin Ling with a plop.

Jin Ling was so frightened that he stood up almost instantly and went forward to help Sun Wukong up.

I'm sorry, although I know that I was Emperor Ziwei in my previous life, I still don't have such a big heart in this life.

Calmly accept the kneeling worship of a Daluo Jinxian.

Jin Ling still finds it a little hard to accept.

"You...didn't recognize the wrong person?"

After hesitating for a moment, Jin Ling asked Bian Zhuang again with a little hesitation.

"I will never make a mistake. As far as I know, since you came into the world, your master in every life has been Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun."

Looking at Jin Ling who obviously had not recovered his memory, Bian Zhuang was puzzled as to why the Saint Shangqing had not lifted the ban.

But there is no need for me to guess what the saint is thinking.

"Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun... That means my master has not passed away?"

Hearing this, Jin Ling thought for a moment, then looked at Bian Zhuang with surprise.

"The Heavenly Master is now in Mount Zhongnan, in the Hunyuan Palace, discussing the Dao with the other two Heavenly Masters."

Bian Zhuang naturally knew everything about this.

"Then if that's the case, after arriving at the Great Leiyin Temple in the West, will I be able to recover my previous wisdom?"

"Of course."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong naturally took over Bian Zhuang's words and spoke softly to Jin Ling.

"Then by then...will I be dead?"

After hesitating for a moment, Jin Ling continued to ask Sun Wukong.

Whether it is Emperor Ziwei or Martial Ancestor.

How long did it live?
Jin Ling wasn't quite sure, but from his memory, the Martial Ancestor was born before the human race.

At that time, I arrived at the Great Leiyin Temple and recovered my past wisdom. After being washed away by so many years of memories, am I still myself?
So, is the Great Leiyin Temple the end of my life?

To be honest, Jin Ling was a little scared.

After all, even ants try to survive, so why not yourself?
"Master, how can you think like that?"

Seeing this, Sun Wukong was immediately happy. He helped Jin Ling to get on the horse, and while holding the reins, they continued to walk towards the west, Sun Wukong explained to Jin Ling.

"You came into this world this time to find your true self through constant reincarnation."

"In my opinion, the Jin Ling who proposed the imperial examination was you, and the Jin Ling who went to the West to obtain the scriptures was also you."

"It will be the same after you return."

"Otherwise, why would this guy be so eager to ask you to be his master?"

"Why are the dragon and the unicorn so eager to get married to you?"

"Why does the Marshal want to worship me, or rather, Emperor Ziwei, as his master?"

Hearing this, Jin Ling felt relieved and his eyes fell on Bian Zhuang.

"Need I say that? You are the deputy leader of Jiejiao. Among all the immortals in this world, who wouldn't want to worship under you?"

In response, without waiting for Bian Zhuang to say anything, Sun Wukong went straight to Jin Ling and spoke.

Hey!
What to do? !

Hearing this, Bian Zhuang looked at Sun Wukong in confusion.

I haven't offended this monkey...

"No, if you look at it from this perspective, then why don't you take the leader of Jiejiao as your master?"

Hearing this, Jin Ling blinked his eyes slightly and asked Sun Wukong.

"Because the leader of Jiejiao has not preached in the world for a long time, many immortals and gods want to worship the Heavenly Venerable, but they can't find the way."

Before Sun Wukong could say anything, the horse that Jin Ling was riding suddenly spoke.

"Um??!"

He pressed his hands hard on the horse's back, and Jin Ling jumped off the horse in a start.

The horse spoke!

"Your subordinate Chi Yan, I pay my respects to the master."

Turning around to look at Jin Ling who was staggering behind him and would have nearly fallen to the ground if not for Yang Jian's support, Chi Yan knelt on his front legs and spoke to Jin Ling.

"Uncle Master, Senior Chiyan was your mount before you entered the world."

After helping Jin Ling steady, Yang Jian did not forget to introduce Jin Ling to him considerately.

"I……"

Looking at the red flame in front of him, and then looking at Yang Jian beside him, Jin Ling was speechless for a moment.

"Can the power of the red flames repel a fierce tiger?"

After digesting this sudden news, Jin Ling suddenly remembered something and asked Chi Yan in front of him.

"Senior Chiyan's strength is the most powerful here. Of course, it is still incomparable to your heyday."

Following Jin Ling, Yang Jian explained to Jin Ling very considerately.

"Then why didn't Chi Yan save those two guards in the past?"

While nodding slowly, Jin Ling put one hand behind his back and asked Chi Yan.

Since everyone says that I am the Emperor Ziwei who has come into the world, then that must be it.

With this thought in mind, I felt more confident facing the group of gods in front of me.

"I dare not deceive you, sir. The fierce tiger was released by the local mountain god. The two guards who escorted you should have arrived in Chang'an by now."

In this regard, Chi Yan naturally spoke to Jin Ling without hiding anything.

Since Bian Zhuang has pointed out this matter, Jin Ling has the right to know everything that happens on this road.

Yes, some things really shouldn't be spread.

But Jin Ling could know.

after all……

The journey to the West itself revolves around Jin Ling's enlightenment.

"That's it..."

As he nodded slowly, Jin Ling's expression softened a lot.

"Wukong, why did you come into the world as a teacher?"

His eyes fell on Sun Wukong again, and Jin Ling waved to him.

"Reincarnation for ten lifetimes to refine the mind, spreading Buddhism to accumulate merits, and ultimately, of course, to sever the ego and attain the Dao of Hun Yuan."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong spoke to Jin Ling without any hesitation.

As he spoke, Sun Wukong bowed towards the distant sky.

"Now that I know these things, will it have any impact on the matter of attaining the Dao of Hunyuan?" Nodding slowly, Jin Ling continued to ask Sun Wukong.

"Of course not. Telling you this is the decree of the Supreme Pure Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable. The Heavenly Venerable will naturally not harm you."

In response to this, Bian Zhuang spoke to Jin Ling at the right time.

"Marshal, the matter of becoming my disciple may be discussed after I have obtained the true scriptures. After all, my memory is not complete now. A hasty decision may harm others and myself."

While nodding slowly, Jin Ling said to Bian Zhuang.

"The last general takes orders."

Hearing this, Bian Zhuang could only bow and salute Jin Ling.

"As for why the Grandmaster is unwilling to remove the restrictions in your soul, perhaps he wants to wait until the merits of this trip are complete before releasing the insights of the ten reincarnations."

"After all, with more merits and virtues, one's mind will be clear and one will be more confident in attaining enlightenment."

As Bian Zhuang finished speaking, Sun Wukong continued to speak to Jin Ling.

"As expected of a teacher, your thoughts are very thorough."

Hearing this, Jin Ling said without any hesitation.

No matter what the relationship between me and that teacher was in my previous life, it would definitely be right to give him some praise now.

After all, if I had a bad relationship with that Heavenly Master in my previous life, and I were still blaming that teacher now.

Isn't that digging a hole for your future?

But to be honest, Jin Ling felt that since he was able to reach that status in his previous life, his relationship with his teacher should have been pretty good.

Otherwise, such an opportunity would not be mine.

However, this journey to obtain the scriptures was indeed a transaction.

If after completing this good deed, I can still keep my original intention today, I hope to make some changes to this kind of atmosphere.

I always feel like something is not right.

"Now that I know the whole story, it feels different to embark on this journey west again."

As he walked westward, Jin Ling said to Sun Wukong beside him with a smile.

"I am a dull disciple, but I don't have the same level as you. I just feel that it is great to be able to call you Master again after more than 500 years."

In response, Sun Wukong just stayed beside Jin Ling with a smile and said this to Jin Ling.

"Wukong, are you trying to enlighten me? Although I now know the whole story, I am just an ordinary person. How can I compare with you in terms of realm?"

Hearing this, Jin Ling immediately looked at Sun Wukong beside him with an expressionless face.

"Master, realms are not calculated in this way. Take you and your disciple as an example. Although your disciple has been practicing for nearly a thousand years, apart from practicing diligently, he has not had any experience."

In response to this, Sun Wukong spoke to Jin Ling with a serious face.

"Although you have not lived more than twenty years, you have lived with your own people since birth. I don't know how much you have experienced than I, your disciple."

"Therefore, in terms of the way you handle a matter, you are far better than me."

"And this is also the reason why you, Master, entered the world."

"Different people make different choices when faced with different situations."

"Of course, your soul is unique after all. In my humble opinion, if you can find the common points among these differences, then you can cut off your ego."

"Why do you want to cut off your ego?"

After nodding thoughtfully, Jin Ling continued to ask Sun Wukong.

Is the purpose of spiritual practice to cut off the self?
If this is the case, to be honest, Jin Ling feels that he doesn't really want to practice anymore.

After all, the self is myself. If I kill myself, then I will be gone, right?

What's left?
Empty shell?

If that is the case, what is the meaning of immortality?

"Chopping off the self is part of the method of beheading the three corpses. This is the method passed down by the Taoist ancestor and your master."

"In addition to cutting off the ego, this method also includes cutting off the two thoughts of good and evil."

"The so-called purpose is to enable us to conform to the Way of Heaven as closely as possible. After all, the Way of Heaven has no good thoughts, evil thoughts, or even self."

"But you don't need to worry too much, Master. Although your ego has been cut off, it has not been completely lost. If you want, your ego will return to your body at any time."

"In Chiyan's humble opinion, this method is to enable us to conform to the Way of Heaven to the greatest extent when we need it, and when we don't need it, we can return to being the affectionate and righteous immortals."

When talking about such professional things, Chi Yan spoke at the right time.

Tsk, you've made great progress. You can even teach me how to practice!

"No wonder."

Hearing this, Jin Ling immediately nodded in understanding. No wonder these gods seemed to be no different from mortals in essence.

"By the way, Wukong, you just said that there are many Qilin and dragon clan women who are eager to come and arrange a marriage with me, your master?"

After saying this, Jin Ling suddenly looked at Sun Wukong.

"Oh? Master, are you interested in that dragon girl?"

Hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately became interested, and even his eyes, which were looking at Jin Ling, seemed sparkling at this moment.

"Zen Buddhism allows marriage."

In response to this, Yang Jian silently added a sentence.

"Is this little monk really your master in his previous life?"

Silently clenching the nine-ring staff in his hand, Jin Ling looked at Sun Wukong expressionlessly.

"It's absolutely true..."

Sun Wukong subconsciously confirmed it again, but after noticing that Jin Ling's hand had turned slightly white due to excessive force, his voice became smaller and smaller until it was completely silent.

"If your master hits you, you won't fight back, right?"

Holding the nine-ring staff, Jin Ling walked towards Sun Wukong step by step, who subconsciously distanced himself from him.

"Uh... that's definitely not the case, but you'd better not... Hey! Master, I was wrong!"

After moving his body to the side and dodging Jin Ling's slow stick, Sun Wukong quickly replied to Jin Ling.

Ah, with this level of force, it would be considered a joke if it happened to a mortal.

But even so, Sun Wukong still cooperated and acted very fearful.

In fact, Sun Wukong knew that even if his master knew all the causes and consequences, it was still impossible for him to truly regard him as his disciple in an instant.

Sun Wukong was sure that he could escape this time by relying on some magical powers or spells.

Then his master would instantly turn back into the great Tang monk who was polite to him.

Really, Sun Wukong was very afraid of Jin Ling like that.

So unfamiliar.

"In the eyes of a villain like you, is my master such a lustful person?"

The nine-ring staff swung in an arc in the air, and Jin Ling chased after Sun Wukong directly.

Are you kidding? How could I be interested in dragons, unicorns and the like?
No matter how good-looking they are, they can never break my Buddhist heart!

……

"Brother Huang, how about giving this mountain to me?"

And at this moment, on the Yellow Wind Ridge, a quasi-saint from the Dragon Palace appeared silently in front of the Yellow Wind Monster.

Hey, from the lineage of Zhulong, there is the quasi-saint of the second corpse, Ao Yin!
