Chapter 1491 Obtaining the True Scripture

Tang Seng didn't say anything. He had already said those words to Tathagata Buddha. If he continued to mess around in the Buddhist holy land, it would be unreasonable. Human affairs are indispensable no matter where he goes.

Whether it is an immortal Buddha, whether it is a mortal, whether it is the Lingxiao Palace or the Great Leiyin Temple, or the palace of a mortal emperor, these personnel are necessary, so Tang Monk stopped Sun Wukong and Zhu Ganghe , let them retreat behind you.

"Two venerables, don't be surprised. The poor monk came all the way from the Eastern Tang Dynasty. Even the silver coins given by the Tang Dynasty King were all scattered. Only the purple gold alms bowl is still there. If the two venerables don't dislike it, they can still give it. Please accept it." Tang Monk said and asked Sha Wujing to take out the purple gold bowl.

Ananda Kasyapa was immediately overjoyed. He changed his expression and became friendly towards Tang Monk. He said directly: "It's all our brothers' fault. Please don't blame the holy monk. We will get the scripture for the holy monk right now." .”

Ananda Kassapa was naturally in a good mood after accepting the Purple Gold Bowl. They wanted to receive Tang Monk's benefits, so how could they not ask about Tang Monk's affairs? They had heard about the Purple Gold Bowl, which was a gift from the King of Tang Dynasty.

This treasure was originally a mortal thing. Although it was made of purple gold, it was still a mortal thing after all. But it was not simple when it was given by the King of Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the spread of Buddhist scriptures to the east meant that Buddhism flourished in the East, and this purple gold bowl It becomes a lucky treasure, a rare thing.

With this treasure, Ananda Kassapa was more motivated. He originally wanted to pass on the wordless scriptures to them, but they didn't expect Tang Monk to be so good at it, so they didn't make things difficult for Tang Monk and directly passed on the worded scriptures.

"Tang Xuanzang, a man from the Eastern Tang Dynasty who came to worship Buddha and seek scriptures, received the scriptures." Kasyapa gave a light drink, and then opened the scripture cabinet, which was full of scriptures.

Tang Monk hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his hands, and saluted: "Amitabha, Buddhist monk Tang Xuanzang is grateful to me for his mercy." Afterwards, Sun Wukong and others also lined up and opened the boxes and baggage.

Ananda Kassapa began to preach the sutras, and every time he passed on a sutra, he raised his voice and said the name of the sutra: "Nirvana Sutra, four hundred volumes, Bodhisattva Sutra, three hundred and sixty volumes, Void Storehouse Sutra, twenty volumes, Thirty volumes of the First Surangama Sutra, forty volumes of the Comprehensive Collection of Enlightenment Sutras, forty volumes of the Decision Sutra, twenty volumes of the Treasure Sutra, eighty-one volumes of the Huayan Sutra, and eighty-one volumes of the Sutra of Li Zhenru. "Thirty volumes of "The Great Prajna Sutra" six hundred volumes, "Golden Guangming Sutra" fifty volumes, "Never There Was a Sutra" five hundred and fifty volumes, "Vimalakirti Sutra" thirty volumes, "Three Treatises" four volumes Twelve volumes, one volume of "Diamond Sutra", 20 volumes of "Dharma Sutra", 116 volumes of "Buddha's Prayer Sutra", 20 volumes of "Five Dragon Sutra", 60 volumes of "Bodhisattva Sutra", "The Great Collection of Classics" has thirty volumes, a total of thirty-five parts, and 5,048 volumes were found in each part."

After finishing the sutra, Tang Monk and his disciples came to the main hall and met Tathagata Buddha. Tang Monk bowed down and worshiped. Tathagata Buddha said: "The merits of this sutra cannot be measured. Although it is a tortoise example for our sect, it is actually the source of the three religions." . If you come to your Nanfanbu continent and show it to all sentient beings, you must not be scornful, you must bathe and fast, and you must not open the book. It is a treasure! It contains the secret of becoming an immortal and the wonder of inventing all kinds of transformations. "

Tang Monk once again bowed down to take over the sutra and expressed his gratitude. He also knew about the enfeoffment, so he said: "My disciple received the golden decree to go to the east to find the man for the sutra. Now he has succeeded. The total is 14 years, which is 5,000." It's forty days, eight days short, and it doesn't match the number of treasures. I hope that I, the World Honored One, will give the holy monks to return to the east and west as soon as possible. The number of treasures must be completed within eight days, and the prospective disciples will pay back the gold."

The Tathagata Buddha nodded and said, "What's so difficult about this? The Eight Great Vajras listened to the order and escorted the holy monks to pass the scriptures eastward. When the true scriptures were passed down, they would lead the holy monks back to the west and complete the whole collection within eight days. , don’t delay.”

After not staying for a long time, Tang Seng and his disciples left the main hall, followed by the Eight Great Vajra, and then used their magical power to attract the golden cloud of Buddha's light, allowing Tang Seng and his disciples to stand above them. Then they activated the Buddha's Dharma and caused the golden cloud to travel eastward.

This method is not the method of driving on clouds, but a formation method of Buddhism, specially used for traveling. It is more than a hundred times faster than the ordinary method of driving on clouds. This is why Tathagata Buddha dared to say that Monk Tang will be defeated within eight days. The reason for returning to the Tang Dynasty.

"This formation is pretty good. Master, when you become a Buddha, you must learn this formation. It is much faster than my grandson's Somersault Cloud. It will be convenient when we meet in the future." Sun Wukong stood there Buddha's light on the golden cloud laughed loudly.

"Don't lie. If you don't have much merit as a teacher, how can you become a Buddha?" Tang Monk shook his head helplessly. As a mortal, it is not easy to become a Buddha.

"The holy monk is humble. He went from the Eastern Land to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha and seek scriptures, and he did so step by step. Even if it were placed on the body of an immortal, he would not have the patience to go on. Moreover, there were many monsters along the way, and some monsters were not Immortals and Buddhas can resist." Angry Eyes Vajra said.

"Yes, after the scriptures were spread to the East, when the holy monks returned to Daleiyin Temple to entrust them, there must be a Buddha statue." Another Vajra said.

Tang Seng smiled and said nothing. He also knew in his heart that his Buddha position should be indispensable, but he was thinking about what positions his disciples should be granted. According to Tang Seng's request, it is best not to grant any of his disciples.

After being together for such a long time, he understood what these disciples were thinking, and he also knew that they could not be fake Buddhas, so Tang Seng did not want them to get involved. If it were not for Daoxi, Tang Seng would not want to do this either. Buddha.

On the eighth and last day of riding the Golden Cloud of Buddha's Light, Tang Monk and others arrived over the realm of the Tang Dynasty. Suddenly, visions of the Tang Dynasty appeared everywhere, the sun was high, spiritual rain was floating, and in the blink of an eye, peach blossom petals fell again.

Thousands of rays of light suddenly appeared in the sky over the Tang Dynasty, turning the entire sky into colorful eyes. This made the people of the Tang Dynasty look up at the sky, thinking it was a vision of gods descending.

The King of Tang and his ministers in the palace, as well as the monks of Jinguang Temple, all knew that this was the return of the Tang monk who went to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures fourteen years ago. King Li Shimin of Tang led a group of princes and ministers out of the hall to welcome Tang Xuanzang. .

A golden cloud fell, and the leader above it was Tang Seng. Sun Wukong and other disciples stood beside Tang Seng, while the Eight Great Vajras stood aside to protect Tang Seng.

"After fourteen years of separation, my younger brother has returned. How has it been?" Tang Wang Li Shimin quickly stepped forward and grabbed Tang Seng's hand.

"Your Majesty is worried. The poor monk fulfilled his mission and retrieved the Buddhist scriptures. Three days later, he will recite the Buddhist scriptures at Jinguang Temple." Tang Monk knelt down and said to Li Shimin.
