Chapter 263, The Seven Great Saints Gather + Chapter 264, The Difficulties of the Tathagata
Tang Seng agreed to go to Cuiyun Mountain with Wukong. He followed the Tathagata's dispatch and came to the East China Sea to destroy demons. He was originally a fun mood and wanted to rob these demons. However, he did not expect that these demons were the worst-affiliated group of monsters. Not only did he have nothing worth robbing, but he was speechless and guilty for a while.
He was a person without faith, and he did not believe in Buddhism or Taoism. He only believed in himself and only cared about the people around him. Wukong was a good friend to Tang Seng. Now this matter is related to Wukong, so of course Tang Seng had to go and take a look. Moreover, Tang Seng wanted to see the scene when the seven great saints gathered together, see how strong these seven great saints were, and then find a way to find out the specific situation of Bodhi Patriarch.
Tang Seng felt that this Bodhi Patriarch was always sneaky and sneaky, and he must be holding his heart to do bad things. Although he pretended to be idle and wild cranes on the surface and wandered around the Three Realms, Tang Seng felt that this guy was shooting another place and specializing in cultivating terrorists.
Ah, of course, a guy like Wukong cannot become a terrorist for good people. He will only become a terrorist, an evil force, an unhealthy wind and a terrifying existence for those who have ulterior motives! Because Wukong is the incarnation of justice, Wukong is justice! Although his punishment for bad people is sometimes serious, it still makes Tang Seng feel refreshed and passionate. Those who do not sin to death fall into Wukong's hands when they do bad things, and they can only see each other again in the next life. So, Tang Seng and others explained the matters in the outer East China Sea, which was nothing more than asking the Supreme Demon Emperor, the old black turtle, to comfort the demons in the outer East China Sea, so that they could live well here and not cause trouble. Then, Tang Seng and Wukong and others followed the Jiao Demon King to fly to the banana cave of Cuiyun Mountain, and the Bull Demon King's territory.
It took only half a day to fly from the East China Sea to Cuiyun Mountain. When they arrived at Cuiyun Mountain, Tang Monk suddenly appeared. In this Cuiyun Mountain, demon soldiers and generals were standing everywhere. The mountains were filled with flags, gongs and drums were roaring, and the shouts were like thunder. It was really spectacular.
Seeing Tang Seng, a Buddhist, arrive, the big monsters and little monsters on the mountain shouted, beating drums and drums, reminding other little monsters to pay attention to the invasion of enemies.
In addition, the little demon hurriedly returned to the cave and reported the matter to the Niu Demon King. The Niu Demon King immediately put out the formation and came out with him. There were four other demon kings and the five great saints appeared at the same time. His aura was really a bit majestic, as if he didn't take the Buddhist people seriously at all.
When the Bull Demon King saw that the visitors were Tang Monk and Sun Wukong, he said, "Tang Monk, Sun Wukong, are you here today? Are you here to be enemies with me? I tell you, I am thinking about your past relationship with me, so I will not fight you. Go back quickly and don't come to me again."
Wukong laughed and said, "Brother Niu, how could I be an enemy of you? Master and I are here to help you.
”
"Oh?" Bull Demon King said in confusion: "Are you saying true?"
"Of course it's true!" The demon king of dragon emerged from behind Tang Seng and others, stood in front of everyone, and said, "Brother, I have told the seventh brother about it. The seventh brother is very angry, so he came with me. With the seventh brother here, we have more security and we will not lose the face of the master and his old man.
"Oh, that Tang Seng" What did he do when he came? The Bull Demon King said.
Jiao Demon King said: "Master Tang is our seventh brother's master, and he is also a righteous and fair Buddha. He came here to prove this matter. If Buddhism is biased and unjust, then he will stand on the same front as us.
"Oh, is this true? That's great!" Bull Demon King laughed and said, "I knew that justice will always defeat evil, and if you have reason, you will definitely defeat unreasonable people! Hahaha." Even Master Tang came to help me, and the hypocritical people in Buddhism can be disbanded! Hahahahaha."
"Ahem, that" Brother Niu, I'm just here to verify the matter. The specific situation depends on who you have more reason and who is more reasonable, which side I will stand on. If the Buddhist sect is unreasonable, then even if I quit Buddhism, I have to ensure justice and justice. Tang Seng said lightly.
"Hmph, of course, the Buddhist sect is unreasonable! I, old Niu, practiced in Cuiyun Mountain for many years and never did anything that harms the heavens and the truth. Why should Buddhism destroy me? To put it nicely, I have to save me. Why should I accept the Buddhist sect? Why should I choose to join Buddhism? How good is I so free!" The Niu Demon King nagged for a while, and then invited Tang Seng and others into the cave. He told Tang Seng and the others in detail.
Through the story of the Niu Mowang, Tang Seng then learned what happened. It turned out that Niu Mowang had lived well on Cuiyun Mountain, and had a heart-to-heart talk with Princess Iron Fan, and had a little jade-faced fox. He lived in the Banana Cave for a while. After a few days, he went to Moyun Cave to see it. In the end of the mountain flowers, how comfortable it was to live such a leisurely and comfortable life. But unexpectedly, the Buddhists suddenly came to the door.
At that time, the Bull Demon King was walking with Princess Iron Fan, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and others, so he came to the Cuiyun Mountain and found the Bull Demon King. He wanted to transform him into the Demon Sect and become a Bodhisattva. However, although the old bull liked it, he also liked female cooking and was greedy for the worldly life, so of course he was very fond of Guanyin Bodhisattva's request.
He originally thought that this was the case, but he didn't expect that these Bodhisattvas with high magic power would all use force against him. The Bull Demon King felt a little depressed. At this moment, the Bull had a bad temper and summoned all the demons in the mountains, with tens of thousands of demon soldiers fighting against Guanyin Bodhisattva and others. The matter was escalated to the war between Buddhism and the demon clan.
Although there are only a few people on Guanyin Bodhisattva's side, they have strong magic power. Although there are many people on the Bull Demon King's side, only the old bull's cultivation can have the power to fight against the Bodhisattva. The other little monsters all go to deliver vegetables.
But even if you deliver vegetables, you can kill people if you have too many vegetables, so it has caused a lot of trouble to Guanyin Bodhisattva and others. They dare not kill for the time being because they came to transform into the Bull Demon King. If they kill those monsters, they will be completely unable to deal with them and can only be carried out through force.
The two sides had been entangled for half a day, and finally Princess Iron Fan suddenly appeared. Holding a banana fan, she fanned several Bodhisattvas for 54,000 miles with one fan. It was this fan that made Guanyin Bodhisattva and others' tempers rise.
Who said that the Buddha had no temper? It was just that the Buddha was more good at calm and forbearing. Those who truly had no temper would only have dead people. Even Buddha would have no temper only after he passed away.
Several Bodhisattvas were suffocated by the banana, and they stopped until they were 50,000 miles away. Several Bodhisattvas were very angry, and the consequences were very serious. Manjushri Bodhisattva took the Dingfeng Bead and returned to Cuiyun Mountain with Guanyin and Samantabhadra, preparing to fight with the Bull Demon King. Unexpectedly, he saw that there was another extra interlude to the other party. Peng Demon King, and now he felt that his chance of winning was not great. If he could not defeat the other party in one fell swoop, it would be very likely to lead the other party to escape. It would be difficult to capture Bull Demon King and others at that time.
So, Guanyin Bodhisattva and others used verbal attacks to influence the Bull Demon King and others. The Rakshasa girl came out again and held the banana fan and said, "This group of flies buzzing and buzzing non-stop. It's really annoying. Look, I'll give you a fan!" After saying that, it was another sector, but it was fixed by the Dingfeng Bead and the wind blew their wind. Those winds had no effect on Guanyin Bodhisattva and others.
The Rakshasa girl had no choice but to hide behind the Bull Demon King again. Her arrogant just now was gone. There is no way. The reality is like this. If I have magic weapons to control you, I will be arrogant. If you have magic weapons to control me, you should be arrogant. When we should pretend to be grandson, we will definitely not pretend to be an old man! The pretending uncle is not awesome, but a fool! Princess Iron Fan is very self-aware of this, so let the Bull Demon King stand in front. As this uncle, the Bull Demon King has this strength!
The longer the two sides confronted each other, the greater the friction. In the end, the other three great saints, among the seven great saints, also rushed from all over the three realms to Cuiyun Mountain. Guanyin and several other Bodhisattvas had no choice but to go back to Buddhism to report to the Buddha Tathagata.
This is what happened, but Guanyin and other Bodhisattvas have returned to Lingshan Great Lei Yin. Before the Buddha arrived yet, Tang Seng said goodbye to Niu Mowang and others, wanting to go back to Lingshan first and ask why the Tathagata did this and what is the purpose!
However, Wukong asked Tang Seng to return to Lingshan Buddhism first. He himself and the other six of the seven saints had only seen this time for hundreds of years, so he wanted to have a good drink and chat with his six older brothers and senior brothers. So Tang Seng had to take Bajie, Sha Seng and others back to Lingshan to meet the Buddha Tathagata. When he left, Tang Seng was still thinking that these seven guys are gathered together now, the seven demon kings and the seven great saints, I guess they can really make a big deal, right?
Well, let’s go back to Lingshan first and ask the Buddha.
Yingzhang, Tathagata's suffering
When Tang Monk returned to Lingshan, he saw Tathagata, but he saw Guanyin, Manjushri, Samantabhadra and other Bodhisattvas. Tang Monk met with the various Bodhisattvas and Buddhas. Before he could speak, he heard Tathagata say, "How many demons in the East China Sea have been transformed?"
Tang Monk shook his head and said, "As far as I see, all the demon clans in the East China Sea have lived in the demon clan for a long time. They are said to have many demons in their hearts and cannot be transformed. If they want to transform, they can only wait for their reincarnation and wait for the next life. So I sent nearly half of the demon clans in the East China Sea to the path of reincarnation, allowing them to be reincarnated.
Tathagata smiled and said, "Why do you still sigh when you fight the Buddha?"
Tang Seng shook his head and said, "Originally, I thought that all of those demons were bloodthirsty demons, but I finally realized that those demons were all weak and weak. Although their personal cultivation is much stronger than that of humans in the world, it is not easy to survive in a harsh environment like the East China Sea. And I also took their lives, so I felt a little uneasy.
Buddha Tathagata shook his head and said, "Actually, you don't know that in the outer East China Sea, how could there be no fierce demons in such a dangerous place? Not only in the outer East China Sea, but also in the North Sea, they are all very dangerous places. And in these dangerous places, there are definitely many demons that can go against the will of heaven.
Tang Seng said in confusion: "But, Buddha, I didn't even see a slightly fierce demon. The so-called Supreme Outer Sea, the Supreme Demon Emperor, is just an old black turtle that has lived for tens of thousands of years. There are some magical magic, but it is not enough to be called powerful.
As for
”
Tathagata shook his head and said, "You only know one thing, not the other. The old black turtle is not the real supreme demon emperor, there is another person in the real supreme demon emperor. You went there and didn't find the supreme demon emperor, and even those fierce demons were not found. That's because those demons may have been hidden long ago. What you see is just an illusion. The real supreme demon emperor is afraid that I am not even afraid of me. He can join forces with the four demon kings and eight demon generals under his command, and maybe he can fight Lingshan."
When Tang Seng heard this, he asked: "Why should the real Supreme Demon Emperor hide his demon king and his subordinates? He doesn't fight with me? It would be a bit too cruel to watch me take over his thousands of people without appearing!"
Tathagata smiled faintly and said, "The demon clan is originally the heart of a beast. After becoming a monster, his heart is even more weird and vicious. Only a few demon clans can be kind-hearted. For his own benefit, the Supreme Demon King can give up everything that is useless to him. This includes the lower demon clans of 720 islands and 360 holes. These are his vassals, and whether they have or have no, they can be, and sometimes, these vassals will become his burden, so if you take them away, it will be beneficial to them!"
Tang Seng said: "That's my mistake. But Buddha, what I want to ask is that I can understand that you want to wipe out the demons in the outer East China Sea, but you are even going to destroy the law-abiding demons like Bull Demon King. I wonder what the Buddha's plan is?"
The Buddha Tathagata smiled bitterly and said, "I just learned about this."
"Oh?" Tang Seng said in confusion: "According to what the Buddha said, Sister Guanyin, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva have never been to Cuiyun Mountain?"
Guanyin nodded and said, "I am happy to fight Buddha, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra, and I are at the extreme of the North Sea. The demons in the four continents have all merged with this world. How could we pass away? Besides, the Great Sage of Pingtian Bull Demon King is a member of the Taishang Laojun. How could we do such a thing that hurts the harmony between the two factions?"
"Well, that's right, I'll just say it, how could the Buddha do such a shameless thing?" Tang Seng said with a chuckling smile. Seeing that the Buddha and all the Bodhisattvas were all worried, Tang Seng's laughter immediately cut off from the middle.
"Amitabha, good, good, the disaster of Buddhism has just begun!" The Buddha of Tathagata sighed and said, "After all the calculations, the Taishang Laojun is the best at calculating. Amitabha"
Tang Seng asked: "Buddha, who is pretending to be a Buddhist and making enemies everywhere? And he is specifically choosing famous fairies within the four continents. Is he trying to provoke a war between Buddhism and demon clan?"
Tathagata nodded and said, "Of course, I didn't expect that the power of the demon clan was so powerful that he dared to openly compete with the Buddhist righteous path." After pausing, Tathagata said, "However, it is precisely because of this that we must suppress them once."
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "Buddha, the demons on the edge of the four major states must have long been keen on the three realms with a comfortable environment. Even if we do not take the initiative to attack this time, they will definitely not be able to counterattack the three realms. We have only accelerated their counterattack pace. This certain number cannot be escaped. The only choice is to advance or postpone this certain number."
Tathagata said: "I originally thought that the large-scale destruction of Buddhism in the human world was considered a catastrophe in Buddhism, but now it seems that it is obviously not. The destined calamity is not that simple at all. Not only our Buddhism, including the heavenly court within thirty-three days, and even the several celestial masters outside thirty-three days, will be affected. This calamity is not just the calamity of our Buddhism, but a catastrophe within the entire three realms. It just started from our Buddhism, and also from the time when the ancient Buddha Lan Deng passed away. Since the ancient Buddha passed away, I have felt that I was unable to follow my heart. Now it seems that this feeling is not wrong." Tathagata is the master of Buddhism, and his feelings are in a certain sense the feeling of Buddhist luck.
Tang Seng said: "Buddha, you are not capable and not obedient. You must be more powerful! Now what do you think we should do?"
Tathagata smiled and said, "Now, go to Cuiyun Mountain and explain clearly to Wukong, Niu Mowang and others that this is the conspiracy of demons outside the three realms, so that they should not be fooled. More importantly, don't fall into the enemy's plan and let us fight in the three realms first." Tang Seng said, "But, even Niu Mowang and others can't see it, what should we do?"
Tathagata said, "With your wisdom eyes and Wukong's fiery eyes, you can see the truth of those demons clearly. Go, the seven great saints of Cuiyun Mountain will be handed over to you to comfort me. If you have something to do, I will call you back!"
When Tang Seng heard this, he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go to Cuiyun Mountain. If you have anything to do, just call me!" Tang Seng said, and left Lingshan and headed towards Cuiyun Mountain's Banana Cave.
Chapter completed!
