Journey to the West begins with a full-level Tang monk

Chapter 1058 Continuation of "Bodhisattva Sutra"

After some arrangements, Tang Seng understood what he needed to do.

Unlike what Liao Ming said, Monk Xingkong did not let him directly manage the scriptures, but a trainee librarian.

Following a monk named Fan, he was familiar with the scriptures in his area.

Given the size of the Sutra Pavilion, it is managed by many monks, and the area where Tang Seng is located is only a very small part of it.

Seeing Fan by his side, watching him intentionally or unconsciously from time to time, Tang Seng knew in his heart that Tianlong Temple would not trust him completely anytime soon.

The scriptures in this area are certainly not that important.

None of this matters!
About ten days later, he was going to enter the Heavenly Dragon Palace, and now he was with Liao Fan, how could he gain merit points?

The Sutra Pavilion was cleaned spotlessly, and it was no longer possible to be a sweeping monk.

Turning left, turning right, he cleaned his hands, and picked up a scroll of scriptures to read.

This is a volume of "Bodhisattva Sutra". After reading a few pages, Tang Seng's eyebrows frowned.

Putting down this volume, he flipped through many scriptures one by one, and occasionally read it carefully, but after a while, he put it down.

"Junior Brother Sanzang, you should be respectful and devout when you read the scriptures, with no distractions and no other things in mind. Only in this way can you understand the essence of the scriptures and gain something!"

Seeing Tang Seng's appearance like this, Liao Fan said with some displeasure.

Tang Seng ignored his tone and just asked casually, "Are there only these in the Bodhisattva Sutra?"

Liao Fan said, "The Bodhisattva Sutra consists of 280 volumes, and all of them are here. Is there anything wrong?"

"No, as far as the poor monk knows, the "Bodhisattva Sutra" has a total of 360 volumes. How come it has become 280 and six volumes here?" Tang Seng retorted. The "Bodhisattva Sutra" is indeed 360 volumes in total.

He flipped through it just now, but he only saw at most 280 volumes.

Those rolls that were missing were eaten?

Liao Fan shook his head firmly and said, "How could it be? Many people know that there are 280 volumes of the Bodhisattva Sutra. How did Junior Tripitaka know that there are 360 ​​volumes in this Sutra?"

Tang Seng said: "The poor monk not only knows, but also the 280 volumes of the "Bodhisattva Sutra" are incomplete and not complete."

"Okay, our duty is to manage the scriptures well, so that we can gain enlightenment, and don't use hearsay to confuse the public. If the Buddha blames it, I hope it won't bring disaster to Tianlong Temple!" Liao Fan said with a serious face, So he ignored Tang Seng and went straight.

Tang Seng touched his bald head, then came to the table, picked up a pen, and after grinding it, he began to write on the white book where he copied the scriptures.

Liao Fan turned back, but he didn't come to Tang Seng, he just shook his head from a long distance, and Gu Zi picked up a scripture book and read it.

"Congratulations to the host for passing down the 280th volume of the "Bodhisattva Sutra" and gaining 100 merit points!"

Half an hour later, just as Tang Seng put down his pen, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in his mind.

Sure enough, it is worthy of merit!
Although not many, that is, the level of burying a hundred ants, it is a way to make money after all!

Tang Seng felt at ease immediately, picked up another white book, and started writing.

Before I knew it, five days passed.

In a meditation room in the Sutra Pavilion.

"Is Sanzang still writing scriptures every day?" Xing Kong, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, asked Liao Fan in front of him.

"Yes, I write it every day. My disciple read it. It is written after the 280th and sixth volumes of the "Bodhisattva Sutra". At least it looks like this from the name on the cover page. The content inside is really similar! " Liao Fan replied respectfully.

"What about the rest of the chores?" Xingkong asked with a slight nod.

"No chores, Junior Brother Sanzang has been writing!" Liao Fan said.

Xingkong frowned slightly: "That is to say, Sanzang has reached the level of Bigu?"

"Yes, I've never seen him leave the table!" Liao Fan nodded, even he felt a little inconceivable. It is impossible for a monk in the Qi refining stage to fast unless he enters the foundation building stage and truly lays the foundation for the Dao.

"Continue to observe, I always feel that Sanzang is a bit unusual." After a moment of silence, Xing Kong waved his hand.

Liao Fan retreated knowingly.

A few days later, Liao Fan came to this meditation room again in a panic.

This time he did not come empty-handed, with several volumes of scriptures in his hand.

"Elder Xingkong, Junior Brother Sanzang scribbled on the scriptures at will, tampering with the scriptures, you see, the changes are messy."

While talking, Liao Fan put several scriptures in front of Xing Kong.

Xingkong then opened it, and sure enough, it was just as Fan said, the ink was fresh, he jumped up and said, "I'm going to see the Great Elder, I can't get used to this temper, you go and watch Tripitaka, don't write any more scribbles."

"He has already left the Sutra Pavilion, saying that he wants to challenge the elite disciples and join the Tianlong Palace." Liao Fan replied.

"Oh... Today is the challenge day of Tianlong Temple... That Tripitaka, he is a monk in the Sutra Pavilion, what kind of challenge is he going to challenge? You go and stop him, I will go to see the Great Elder!" After finishing speaking, Xing Kong held the scriptures and pushed door away.

In Tianlong Temple.

Tang Seng followed the bustling flow of people.

He is not very clear about the exact location of the Tianlongdian challenge.

But, never mind!
In any era and in any place, people who eat melon and soy sauce are indispensable.

Even if it is the holy land of Buddhism, Tianlong Temple.

On such an important day, he just needs to follow the flow of people, and he will naturally arrive at the place he wants to go.

He has a general understanding of the challenge process. The first step is to determine the qualifications for the challenge, and then the second step is to initiate the challenge.

Without qualifications, there is no chance to challenge.

Otherwise, it is like ants burying elephants, and there is no need to do anything else at Tenryuji Temple. There are too many monks.

The method of obtaining challenge qualifications is different every time, and it is only announced on the spot, which is fair.

Along the way, Tang Seng wanted to keep a low profile.

However, things backfired because he was too popular.

Almost all monks in Tenryuji knew about Sanzang.

This low-level monk who was broken to the recruited disciple in the first round, especially wearing a distinctive attire.

This caused a lot of people to point fingers at him and talk about it.

Tang Seng didn't care, he asked his nose and mouth, and his mouth asked his heart, pretending not to hear.

Although some people said it harshly, what kind of tricks, what kind of speculation, what kind of 1000 taels of gold came up.

Finally, at the end of the crowd, Tang Seng stopped.

This is a huge square, like the martial arts arena of Tenryuji Temple.

On a high platform at the edge of the square sat some monks wearing yellow robes and cassocks.

Ordinary disciples wear gray and blue robes.

Looking around, Tang Seng found that he was the only one standing and watching wearing cassock.
