Chapter 251 ,(2/2)
After the three brothers Wukong collected all the Tripitaka scriptures, they were taken back to the Main Hall by two venerables to meet the Tathagata.
Tathagata said, "Tang Sanzang, the two of them asked you about human affairs. I have already said, "but the sutra should not be passed on lightly, nor should they be taken in vain. In the past, the monks and sages imitated Xiaozhou and recited this sutra with him at the house of Zhao, the elder Zhao, the country of Sarvas, to ensure the safety of the living and the deceased, and only to ask him to return three dou and three liters of rice grains of gold. I also said that they were too cheap and taught their descendants that had no money to use it. Although you have given hundreds of kilograms of gold, you are also selling it at a low price. So you passed on the white version. The white version is the true scripture without words. It is also good. Because your sentient beings in the East Land are foolish and confused. You can only pass it on this. Who knows that you are very clever. You open and check it out yourself and say that you can't even understand the scriptures, and others can't understand it. Therefore, you passed on the true scriptures to you. This is because of your intelligence, so you can't travel in vain."
Tang Monk smiled and said, "Otherwise, if you praise me, you always have to be smart? From the east to the west, it's 108,000 miles, and after more than ten years, I have to gain more knowledge! This is how this experience in life comes from, and this is not something you can get by chanting scriptures all day long.
"Hehe" the Buddha smiled slightly. He said, "Asui, Jiaye, how many sutras have he passed on to him? You can count them one by one." The two venerables immediately announced: "I am going to the Tang Dynasty's "Nirvana Sutra" for 400 volumes, the "Bodhisattva Sutra" for 360 volumes, and the "Void Sutra" for 20 volumes". In the general sutra, there are 35 volumes, and 5,048 volumes were found in each department, and they are left in the Tang Dynasty with the monks of the East. They are now packed up and put on the load of people and horses, and are waiting for gratitude."
Tathagata said to Tang Monk: "The merits of this sutra cannot be measured. Although they are the turtle marks of our school, they are actually the source of the three religions. If you go to your southern continent, you will show that you should not be careless and not be bathed or fasted, and you should not be rolled out. The treasure is so important! This is because there is the mystery of becoming an immortal and understanding the way of enlightenment, and it is also the strange way to understand all transformations."
Tang Monk and Zhuo's head asked Guanyin Bodhisattva under the Tathagata's seat, and said, "Bodhisattva, my disciples have 5,048 volumes of scriptures. I wonder how many days it took to obtain the scriptures? Is it appropriate to the number of Tibetans?"
The Bodhisattva was stunned and smiled and said, "Tang Sanzang, you know a lot."
Tang Seng smiled and said, "If you don't know anything, you can't just mess around."
The Bodhisattva counted his fingers and said, "You have spent 5,047 days in total when you go to the sutra, and there is still one day left. It will be enough to hide the number. If you return to Chang'an within one day, this will be the true Great Perfection."
Upon hearing this, Tang Seng nodded and said, "This is easy to say. We will definitely be able to return to Chang'an within one day. It's just that Bodhisattva, this sutra has been obtained. I wonder if there are any instructions?"
Wukong quickly stood up and said, "Yes, Bodhisattva. You once told us that you can become a Buddha by sending my master to the West and accumulating merits. Why don't you mention this matter now?"
Tathagata smiled and said, "You monkey, you are really impatient. I am about to say this! Now, you have obtained the true scriptures, attained the great way, and have the merits perfect. According to your performance along the way, you will receive corresponding rewards. The so-called "Sow Memorial" is to plant melons and see if you plant memorials and beans, and what causes you plant, what results will be? According to your performance along the way. Tang Sanzang, given that you have done many good deeds and immeasurable merits, you were originally named Youtan Merit Buddha; but because you have many female disciples and different ways of cultivation, you were named Youtan Merit Buddha; in addition, you are very brave in subduing demons and eliminating demons, you are named Youtan Merit Buddha for the Fighting and Battle. So you were eventually named Youtan Merit Buddha for the Fighting and Battle Buddha."
Damn, this is an article. What kind of title is sealed? You can't just pick up the main ones and seal them all. Okay, Youtan's merits and joyful battle with Buddha, just this title. Although it sounds like Happy Tofu, it's just a name anyway. What really shocked Tang Seng was that this Tathagata Buddha really knew everything. What was even more shocking was that Tathagata did not directly object to his cultivation method. This made Tang Seng breathe a sigh of relief.
Since the Buddha is so magnanimous, what else can Tang Monk say? He can only thank him for his gratitude. After thanking him for his gratitude, Tang Monk felt a golden light bathing all over his body, which was easier and more comfortable than when he was reborn in Lingyundu before. Tang Monk knew that he was at the top of his level.
Thinking of this, a prompt sound rang in my mind: "Congratulations, for completing the main mission of Journey to the West. The level has been upgraded to "Buddha". Congratulations. Learn "Creation of the Original Practice": a magical technique that can produce and destroy."
Damn, this is the introduction to the Creation of the Yuangong? This is too simple! Forget it, I will study it slowly in the future and listen to what the Buddha said first.
Next, Wukong, the Buddha said: "Wukong. Since you have protected Tang Monk from the west, you have outstanding military achievements. You are specially appointed as the Battle of the Buddha."
Wukong had nothing to say. He had become a Buddha, so what else could he say? The name of the Fighting and Fighting Buddha is much louder than Bimawen and others. Wukong immediately thanked him and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
After saying that, Wukong's whole body flashed with golden light, and he became much more energetic. He looked much more stable than Fan Qin, and he also became much more steady. Needless to say, Wukong also became a Buddha.
Next are Bajie and Sha Seng. Although these two guys have shown some developments under the wise leadership of Tang Seng, their abilities are limited after all. It seems that the Buddhist sect has already reserved a place for the two. What about these two guys? The guys are still the same as before. Bajie was named the envoy of the altar. Who told this pig to like eating so much? Even if Bajie doesn't want to, there is nothing he can do.
However, Tang Seng believes that this guy will definitely like this profession in the future. Eat offerings every day. What a refreshing errand!
Sha Seng was named a golden arhat. The hardworking White Dragon Horse was also named an eight-departed Tianlong, which was considered a good job.
Those who have been enlightened by the Bodhisattva received good rewards. Tang Monk suddenly remembered Yuxian and others, and the Golden-winged Roc Eagle and others, so he asked the Buddha: "Boss Tathagata, besides Wukong, Wuneng, Wujing and Xiaobailong escorted me to the Lingshan Mountain in the West to obtain the scriptures, there are some other people who have made contributions. I wonder if the Buddha can reward merits and do things?"
Tathagata shook his head and said, "I am happy to fight the Buddha. I cannot satisfy you when you ask me. Those people may have made contributions to protecting you. But they have not reached the time to become a Buddha. Therefore, none of them can become a Buddha, nor can they receive rewards. However, the door of Buddhism is always open to them. As long as they accumulate merits to a certain level, they will definitely become a Buddha."
When Tang Seng heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay." Then he thanked the four disciples again. Then he stood up and said, "Big Buddha. We have finished obtaining the scriptures. Tomorrow is the deadline for 5,048 Tibetans, and I and the disciples will leave."
The Buddha nodded and said, "Go, go! Tang Sanzang and Wukong. From now on, you will be the masters of the same sect. Go and find famous mountains and rivers. Let's set up a small portal. I will not restrain you. When something happens, I will summon you to your Buddhist letter."
Tang Monk nodded, then said goodbye to the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, etc. He left the Grand Historian Hall, brought the scriptures that had been installed, and put them into the secret space. Then the five masters and disciples went straight to Yunlu. He flew to the Tang Dynasty in a long time. Within half a day, the masters and disciples returned to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. At this point, the journey to the West finally came to a perfect end.
