Journey to the West: Start by giving Taishang Laojun a whole life

Chapter 198: The petty-minded Lingyao? Monkey: Hehe! I, Old Sun, stole him!

Tushita Palace in the Heaven of Lihen.

Zhang Tian was still immersed in understanding the teachings of Laozi, when he was awakened by Laozi and urged to go down to the mortal world.

"There is no rush for this enlightenment. After you send the pilgrim to the West, you will be able to pass on the wordless scripture. It won't be too late to comprehend it with your heart."

Although the journey for the pilgrim to obtain the scriptures took more than ten years, to the heaven, it was only a dozen days and passed in the blink of an eye.

Taishang Laojun gave Zhang Tian some instructions again and told him many detailed experiences, all of which were related to the journey to obtain the scriptures.

Zhang Tian listened carefully.

In the end, it was a bit laughable.

It was only because he discovered that what Taishang Laojun said was actually the work that Taibai Jinxing did in the future. When the pilgrims encountered various difficulties, he came down to the earth and transformed himself into a human to guide them and warn them of danger.

Zhang Tian nodded repeatedly and flew out of the Tushita Palace. At the door, Jinjiao and Yinjiao were waiting, one of them holding a wooden plate with something shining with gold on it.

The other one held a staff.

Jinjiao said, "Young Master, you finally came out. This is sent by the Buddhist sect in the West. I want you to give it to the pilgrim."

Yinjiao continued, "One is a cassock, and the other is a nine-ring staff. They are said to have supreme magical powers, and they are repeatedly urged to make sure that the pilgrim wears them."

Done.

The two handed the baby to Zhang Tian, and then hurried to reincarnate in the mortal world. After all, they had stayed in heaven for a long time, and it was rare for them to have a vacation of several days like this.

Zhang Tian took it and felt that the nine-ring tin staff made his mind cool and refreshing. It had the magical effect of protecting his mind and not being invaded by evil spirits.

After all, there are many monsters on the journey to the West, and most of them are true immortals, and each of them has its own methods. If there is no nine-ring tin staff to protect the mind, I am afraid that a single glance will take away the mind of the pilgrim, and he will be trained like a dog, and sink under the jade feet of the demon woman. How can he still remember the Buddha?
And this Jinlan cassock is even more glittering and precious, with pearls on it. It is an extremely precious item that can help people overcome disasters and difficulties. For practitioners, especially, no matter whether it is the three disasters or the difficulties of practice, they can easily overcome them and make it impossible for those monsters to bite them.

After all, on the journey to the West, in addition to the actors hired by the Bodhisattva, there are really wild monsters who are daring enough to want to eat Tang Monk's flesh, such as the White Bone Demon, the Snake Demon and the like. If he didn't have magic weapons to protect himself, he would have really become someone else's meal!
Zhang Tian took the two treasures, flew down from Lihentian on a cloud, and headed towards Nanshanbuzhou. Looking from afar, he saw many magical weapons hidden in the clouds.

The Six Dings and Six Jias and the Four Valued Officials are subordinates of the Heavenly Court.

The Five Jietis and the Guardian of the Dharma are the followers of Buddhism.

These four gods rotate day and night. They are not only the patron saints of those who seek scriptures, but also the people sent by the Heavenly Court and Buddhism to inspect the disaster. They can be regarded as half assessors.

Seeing Zhang Tian coming on the clouds, the gods from all four directions bowed deeply to Zhang Tian and called him "Master" respectfully.

Although Zhang Tian's official position was not high at that time.

But he came from a noble family and was a disciple of Taiqing.

Moreover, they all had inside information that the Jade Emperor was particularly fond of Zhang Tian and wanted to promote him to a high position, a prominent official in the court in the future.

Zhang Tian then inquired about the whereabouts of the pilgrim. When he learned that the pilgrim was named Chen Xuanzang, also known as Han Sanzang, and that he had walked from Luoyang to Liangjie Mountain, he said to himself "it's fate" and descended from the clouds.

Take a closer look.

I saw Chen Xuanzang, just like an ordinary person, traveling through mountains and rivers. He had no followers and only a horse, and his journey was very difficult.

Zhang Tian transformed himself into a hunter in short clothes, then pointed at a huge rock in the forest and said "change". He exerted the power of morality, and his wish came true. The huge rock turned into a tiger, with its claws bared, and went towards where Chen Xuanzang was.

The tiger arrives before the sound.

The power of the roaring forest was not something a mortal like Chen Xuanzang could endure. His legs couldn't help but become weak and the white horse beside him was already crawling on the ground, not daring to move at all. This was the power of the king of beasts.

Chen Xuanzang: My life is over!

Just when he was in despair, he heard a loud shout in the forest. It was a human voice. After a few shouts, the tiger retreated unwillingly with a hint of fear on its fat face.

Zhang Tian walked out of the woods, pretending to be surprised, and said to Chen Xuanzang, "Who are you? How dare you sneak into this mountain without my order!"

Chen Xuanzang knew that he had met an extraordinary person, and he quickly said that he was a man who was going to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures. However, he was still curious, "The tiger is the king of all beasts, it is ferocious and has eaten countless people, but I saw it retreat like this when it heard the voice of the warrior. What's the principle?" "This is the language of the cat."

"Meow?"

"As the saying goes, humans have their own language, and animals have their own language. Tigers can also communicate. Usually, I offer them offerings so that they don't eat people. I call this method cat language."

Chen Xuanzang was amazed by her beauty.

Expressed the desire to learn this technique.

He thought that when he met a tiger on his way west in the future, he could also communicate with it by meowing. However, Zhang Tian shook his head and said, "My meow language is only suitable for tigers in my country. Once we cross this mountain, those tigers will speak a foreign language and they won't understand me."

Chen Xuanzang was immediately disappointed.

Zhang Tian advised again, "Although I can't teach you this cat language, I can tell you a truth. As the saying goes, people have their own language, and animals have their own language. The monk is going to the West. The mountains are high and the road is long. He will definitely meet people and monsters."

"If you meet someone, say you are an envoy sent by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty."

"If you encounter a monster, just say you are a Buddhist monk sent by the Buddha from Lingshan Mountain in the West."

This is called pulling tiger skins!

Chen Xuanzang nodded repeatedly, feeling that he had learned a lot. Then Zhang Tian pulled him to a thatched hut and provided him with some food to ease the shock he had just experienced.

The other party just sat down.

He was startled for a moment and stood up immediately.

His eyes were fixed on the Jinlan cassock and the nine-ring staff on the wall. These two items were the most precious treasures of Buddhism, just like gold and beautiful women, which would fascinate people at first sight and make them unable to extricate themselves.

Chen Xuanzang found it hard to understand how such a treasure could be found in this desolate mountain. Then he saw Zhang Tian smiled and said, "This mountain is a strange mountain called Liangjie Mountain. It suppressed a demon monkey that fell from the sky, named the Great Sage Equaling Heaven."

Zhang Tianzhi's words made Chen Xuanzang feel very sad. "I passed by unintentionally when I was hunting. I felt sorry for him, so I gave him a peach. He gave me these rags. They just look good, but they are not as practical as a chopping knife."

Chen Xuanzang: ...

Chen Xuanzang decided to go and see Sun Wukong. It was not known whether he went there for the first-time purchase promotion of giving a cassock for feeding peaches, or whether he had kind intentions. After learning that the other party had been hungry for a hundred years, he wanted to give him a good meal.

If it was a modern person, Zhang Tian thought it must be the former, and if it was Chen Xuanzang, Zhang Tian thought it was the latter.

He saw the other person climbing the mountain.

He then flew to the monkey on a cloud in advance to coordinate the monkey's testimony to avoid letting the cat out of the bag.

Then another thing was brought up.

"In the pilgrim team, there is a very arrogant person named Lingyao. He is not a good person just like Marshal Tianpeng back then..."

The monkey knew it all, and immediately laughed, "I know, I know. I, Sun, will come to help you, Junior Brother. When no one is around, I will steal his treasures and peaches!"

Lingyao is a thief who likes to steal things.

I'm going to run into the ancestor of thieves!
Zhang Tian laughed along, but there was one thing he couldn't understand, "Why steal peaches? He didn't even plant peach trees?"

But blink.

Then he suddenly realized.

"Oh! That peach! You bad monkey!!"

The monkey said nothing, just followed Zhang Tian, pointing and grinning evilly.
