Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1643 Tang Monk and the Secret Chamber

In addition to practicing, Deng Chanyu also discussed the backup plan with his three clones. If they really couldn't win, they would have to run away.

But where is their way out? What does it mean to choose to retreat?
Escape to Nuwa's Chaos Pearl World? That world can only accommodate Nuwa at its limit. Without billions of years of development, it is absolutely impossible to give birth to another Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian in the world.

Go to the Shen'ao world? In order to achieve enlightenment, Yang Mei dug up the foundation of that world. A world so dilapidated could not support Deng Chanyu's enlightenment.

Going to Pangu World? Deng Chanyu was afraid that Pangu Tiegu would chop her with an axe.

It is better to prove the truth in the ancient times.

Now the key to achieving enlightenment is to obtain the scriptures.

The price of failure in obtaining the scriptures is quite high.

If that time really comes, she will have no choice but to become a saint through merit.

After receiving guidance from Taibai Jinxing, Tang Seng's confidence grew a lot. Relying on the secret protection of thirty-nine gods, he stumbled all the way and finally saw the monkey with whom he had a deep bond at the foot of the mountain more than ten miles away.

The monkey waved to him from a distance, his voice full of joy and pleading: "Master! Master! I, Sun Wukong, am willing to protect you in your quest for the Buddhist scriptures in the West! Please let me out!"

If it were yesterday, if Tang Seng suddenly saw such a monster with a hairy face, a thunder god's mouth, and could speak human language, he would have been frightened to death or at least panicked for a while.

First, he was attacked by Liu Bochin and his group of hunters, then he ran away and lost his way. He was carried out of the dense forest by a divine general, and finally met an old immortal who showed him the way.

This entire day's experiences were richer than those of the previous thirty years. He was numb to the thought of the sky falling, not even a monkey. Even a more terrifying monster could be dealt with calmly, let alone a monkey crushed beneath the mountain. Of course, this mental state would slowly recover, but even after recovery, he would still panic.

Tang Seng looked at the Five Elements Mountain with an embarrassed look on his face.

In order to prevent Sun Wukong from getting stained with blood again, there are no animals or even insects in the entire Five Elements Mountain. However, there are plants and trees. After nearly six hundred years, the mountain cannot be said to be lush, but it is definitely not the bare rocky mountain it once was.

After repeated urging from the monkey, Tang Seng finally revealed his dilemma: "I don't have any tools, how can I help you escape?"

Sun Wukong pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "Master, please climb to the top of the mountain. If there is a predestined Dharma, the Tathagata's secret room will naturally be opened. I don't know what is inside, but it should be related to my release."

He then added: "In Sanskrit!"

A secret room? Sanskrit? Tang Sanzang looked at the mountain. It was so high! From his perspective, he couldn't see any secret room at all.

He had been worried and hungry all day, and now he really didn't have much energy to climb the mountain.

He subconsciously took out the Goblet of Fire and asked for help again, but this time he spoke until his mouth was dry and no god responded to his call.

It seems that the previous success in summoning the gods was just luck, and the current situation is the normal state of the Goblet of Fire that the emperor mentioned.

There is no other choice but to climb the mountain.

Tang Seng now desperately needs Sun Wukong to protect him. He gives the pass and the Cup of Fire to Sun Wukong for safekeeping, and climbs the mountain step by step.

I moved forward with difficulty, but I didn't see any secret room.

One-fifth of the way to the summit, he saw wildflowers growing on the ridge.

This flower is also found at Jinshan Temple. It is evergreen, blooming white, then red, and finally purple. The fruit is purple and sweet, and has high medicinal value. People at Jinshan Temple call this flower "Duolian." When people in Chang'an "drifted west," they called it "myrtle."

Tang Sanzang stood before the flowers, as if blessed with a heart. He said softly, "I want to enter the secret room. Please open the door."

Everything around was quiet, without any change.

After a moment of hesitation, he realized that Sanskrit should be used here.

He said in Sanskrit: "Open!"

With a series of loud rumbling sounds, a dark passage slowly opened up on the stone wall on the side of "Myrtle", and the secret room that the monkey mentioned seemed to be right in front of them.

Hearing the noise on the mountain, the monkey was overjoyed: "Master! Master! Let me out quickly, I will help you get the scriptures from the West!"

Tang Seng didn't know whether his voice could be heard at the foot of the mountain, but he still shouted to the people below: "I will let you out right now."

The passage was not very wide and it was pitch black inside, so you couldn't see anything.

Tang Seng plucked up his courage and stepped into the passage. Just after he took two steps, he felt a hook behind him, hooking his collar. He didn't have time to react at all. He felt dizzy and when he opened his eyes, he found himself in a stone chamber.

There are no household furnishings here, only a stone tablet standing in the middle.

Sun Wukong was still urging from below, but this time his voice sounded a little unclear: "Master! Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Tang Seng walked to the stone tablet tremblingly, and in just over ten breaths, he understood the purpose of the stone tablet.

There are more than a hundred Chinese characters on the stone tablet, all of which are very rare, including the famous six-character mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum".

Even Dansheng knows the Six-Character Mantra, not to mention Tang Monk. This is the most basic thing.

He studied it for a while, then used his palms to pat the six big words in the order of the mantra. The next moment, a deep voice sounded in his mind.

"The Amitabha Buddha hotline direct line welcomes you. The Buddha's teachings are boundless, and turning back is the shore. Please press one for scripture explanations, two for understanding Sanskrit, three for exercises, four for supernatural powers, five for equipment refining assistance, and zero for special questions."

Tang Seng was confused and touched his bald head. It took him a while to understand the meaning of this "hotline direct line".

There are hundreds of words on the stone wall, including "Om Mani Padme Hum" and "one, two, three, four".

He really wanted to ask about some of the doubts in the scriptures, but Sun Wukong kept urging him from below, so he could only focus on helping the monkey escape.

He thought carefully, then pressed the zero key.

"Please press one for questions about breaking precepts, press two for questions about returning to secular life, press three for questions about how a temple abbot gains authority, press four for questions about the duties of a monk who receives guests, and press nine for questions about immortality."

This is immortality! What's the purpose of practicing Buddhism or Taoism? Isn't it just to survive? Immortality can be considered the ultimate pursuit of life, and even Tang Sanzang is no exception.

He said sorry to Sun Wukong in his heart, reached out his hand tremblingly, and pressed nine.

The voice of Amitabha Buddha rang out in his mind: "In the Tang Dynasty of the East, there is a monk named Xuanzang. Eating a piece of Xuanzang's flesh grants you immortality. Press the Star key to return to the previous menu."

Tang Sanzang was stunned. Was this referring to him? Was there another Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty? He didn't dare to think about it and quickly pressed the star button. Return, return quickly!
