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

Chapter 199 The Old Turtle's Appeal
Tang Seng ignored Zhu Bajie and walked straight onto the back of the old turtle.

Sand Monk at the side looked at Tang Seng, then at Zhu Bajie, and after thinking about it, he felt that Tang Seng's majesty was much stronger than Zhu Bajie's, so he followed Tang Seng and climbed directly on the old turtle's back.

Zhu Bajie hesitated standing there. After he experienced the Blackwater River incident last time, he always felt that those who helped cross the river would throw them into the water halfway through.

After Tang Seng went up, he waited for a while and found that Zhu Bajie was still standing there. Tang Seng immediately frowned and said in disgust: "Bajie come up quickly, or you will look better than you."

Zhu Bajie heard Tang Seng's displeased words, and then he put all the thoughts in his mind behind him, and went straight to the old turtle's back.

From Zhu Bajie's point of view, he would rather fall in the middle of the water than be beaten up by Tang Seng.

Because Tang Seng's strength is really too strong, so strong that he has some doubts about life.

A strong man like Tang Seng, who seems to have only the cultivation base of Xuanxian, but can hang and beat Jinxian, is really afraid to provoke.

After Zhu Bajie got on the tortoise's back, the old tortoise said: "Holy monk, please stand still, we are about to set off."

Tang Seng nodded and said: "It's time to work, you go, we have stood firm."

When the old tortoise heard this, Dang even swam towards the surface of the water with his limbs dancing.

Although the old tortoise had a huge body and his movements looked unbearably slow, his swimming ability was extremely powerful, and he jumped more than ten meters with just a slight slip.

Tang Seng shook his head, admiring this kind of ability. If he had this kind of ability in his previous life, wouldn't the world-class swimming champion be in his pocket?

Thinking of this, Tang Seng suddenly smiled.

The memory of the previous life is still a little too deep, so that he has cultivated to the 8th level of Xuanxian now, but he still can't let go of the past life.

I always think about it, if the current cultivation base is placed in the previous life, then what can be done?

Tang Seng knew very well in his heart that only by abandoning everything in his previous life and truly facing his cultivation base, his way, and his avenue in his current identity, can he make further progress on the road of his cultivation.

This is the cultivation of the state of mind.

The cultivation of the state of mind is much more important than the cultivation of oneself.

If the state of mind can't keep up with it, but its own strength has exceeded a certain limit, then it will only lead to madness, becoming a devil who only knows bloodthirsty and killing, without the slightest reason.

Moreover, such a person can only show off at a low level after all. Once they reach the level of the Da Luo Jinxian, those with insufficient mentality will eventually be eliminated.

After reaching the realm of Daluo Jinxian, the two people have the same cultivation level, but the person with the poorest state of mind will suffer a lot in the battle, and will even be killed by the person with enough state of mind. .

It's like a child holding a sharp sword is no match for an adult holding a broken stick.

Although there is a huge difference in weapons, a child cannot display the true power of a sword, but an adult can display the true power of a broken wooden stick.

Although Tang Seng knew very well that his state of mind was in urgent need of cultivation, he was not in any hurry.

Because the cultivation of the state of mind needs to experience the tempering of the world, and then gain some insights, so that one's state of mind can be improved again.

This kind of promotion cannot be achieved overnight, and it is not possible to obtain a real promotion with a utilitarian attitude.

This kind of person can only use time to slowly endure, depending on how many things he has experienced, how much insight he has gained, and how high his understanding is on the way of cultivation.

Regarding the improvement of the state of mind, no one can help Tang Seng, only Tang Seng can practice by himself.

But Tang Seng has already felt it. Although he still has no way to completely abandon all the past life, he is already working hard in this direction. I believe that one day in the near future, he will be able to completely enlighten himself.

From now on, there will only be Tang Sanzang, the monk who traveled to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, and there will be no more Tang Sen in the city of his previous life.

Tang Seng thought that the old turtle had already slipped to the middle of the river.

This Tongtian River is [-] miles wide, and it has slid over [-] miles in such a short period of time. This speed is really appalling.

After all, it does not rely on flying, but on swimming.

At this moment, the old tortoise suddenly said: "Holy monk, holy monk, where did you come from and where did you go?"

Tang Seng thought to himself: Here we come.

In the original Journey to the West that I read in my previous life, there was a rich description of this old turtle.

For ordinary monsters, it is a disaster on the westbound road, and if it is defeated, it will be defeated, and it will never be mentioned again.

But this old tortoise is different. He did not become a difficulty on the westbound road, but on the eastbound road.

It is recorded in the original book that when the old tortoise was carrying Tang Seng and several people across the Tongtian River on the westward journey, he once entrusted Tang Seng to ask him how long he can live in front of the Buddha, whether he will die in the end, or whether he can ascend to immortality and enjoy longevity. Ageless lifespan.

But when Tang Seng met Tathagata Buddha, his heart was filled with the joy and excitement of getting the scriptures, so he didn't have the mood to remember these trivial things.

Naturally, Tang Seng forgot to ask the Buddha.

Then when Tang Seng and others in the original book got the scriptures and traveled all the way east.

Passing the Tongtian River again, the old turtle had been waiting by the river for a long time.

Speaking of which, this old tortoise is also very insidious.

He was very kind when he was on the bank, and he directly asked Tang Seng's people to get on his turtle's back to carry them across the river, without mentioning anything about longevity.

And when he camel Tang Seng and others to the middle of the river.

This old tortoise, this scheming old tortoise just started to ask if Tang Seng asked the Buddha about his future for him.

However, it was only then that Tang Seng realized that he had forgotten about it.

Originally, if it was a different person, just make it up casually, the old tortoise didn't know the matter and just fooled it like this.

But Tang Seng in the original book is the real deal. Three of the three of them are extremely strict about the rules and regulations.

So after Tang Seng thought about it, he decided to tell me directly what Gui himself forgot to ask.

This is a big deal.

This old tortoise was not a kind-hearted monster in the first place. The reason why he carried Tang Seng's people across the river when he was in Tongtian River was to let Tang Seng's people interrogate him in front of the Buddha.

It turns out that Tang Seng actually forgot to ask for him, which is amazing.

The scheming old tortoise started to sink without saying a word.

It didn't matter that he sank, but Tang Seng and others couldn't swim, and with the scriptures, everyone fell into the Tongtian River.

This Tongtian River, but the weak water of [-] miles can't even float a feather.

Not to mention Tang Seng and his box full of scriptures.

Only when Sun Wukong saw something was wrong, he immediately flew into the air, which saved him from being sunk in the Tongtian River.

However, after Monkey King reacted, he quickly rescued Tang Seng's men, and then the four began to rescue the scriptures that were washed away by the water.

But the river is so turbulent, how can the scriptures fall into the river safely?
In the end, Tang Seng and the others only rescued more than half of the scriptures, and a small half of the scriptures had been washed away by the water, and it was unknown where they went.

Therefore, according to the legendary records, the scriptures obtained by Tang Seng's people are actually not complete.

Instead, a part of it was lost in Tongtian River, which was really the pain of Tang Seng's life.
