Chapter 821 A Monk on a White Horse Heading West

Erlang didn't know about the chaos from outside, so he practiced quietly and waited for success.

A Buddhist boy named Xuanzang gradually grew up. Nanzhou coincided with the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The people were rich and lived and worked in peace and contentment.

When Xuanzang was young, a Bodhisattva entrusted him with a dream, saying that he would contribute to the prosperity of Buddhism in the future. At a young age, he was known by old monks in famous mountains and temples in Nanzhou.

When Xuanzang was 20 years old, he carried the Buddhist Lou on his back and traveled to study for five years. He traveled all over the middle of the country, and gradually realized a truth.

Most of the Buddhist scriptures that are circulated in China today are incomplete, and there are many omissions and changes, and they belong to a kind of "Hinayana Buddhism".

He also heard that there is "Mahayana Buddhism" in Xitian Lingshan, the place where Buddhism originated. Xuanzang gradually had the idea of ​​​​seeing the real Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, and moved the idea of ​​​​traveling west to learn Buddhist scriptures.

After Xuanzang's study tour, he returned to Hongfu Temple next to Chang'an to practice. During the period, there was another incident of borrowing soldiers from the Tang Dynasty in order to avenge his biological parents, which can be regarded as having a little connection with the court.

At that time, the dragon king of Jinghe violated the rules of heaven and should be beheaded according to reason, but it was Tang Taizong's minister Wei Zheng who executed the dragon.

Although this matter is strange, it is nothing. After all, according to the law of heaven and earth, there are upright gods in the sky, corresponding to the way of heaven;

There are theorems in all three ways. It is not difficult for a humane minister to accept the decree of heaven to be a supervisor and beheader, although it is a bit novel.

After Wei Zheng took the order, he naturally attached great importance to it. Although he is very human, he is a mortal after all, and he has a heart of awe for ghosts and gods.

The Jinghe Dragon King, who was about to be beheaded, had someone point him out, and entrusted his dream to beg Tang Taizong for help. Although Tang Taizong was the current emperor, had he ever seen the Dragon King? Under the novelty, I agreed.

On the day of execution, the Dragon King of Jinghe River was arrested and taken to the Heavenly Court. Tang Taizong went to play chess with Wei Zheng, preventing Wei Zheng from falling asleep, and beheading the Dragon King of Jinghe River in his dream.

But Wei Zheng didn't know what His Majesty meant, and he didn't want to spoil His Majesty's interest, so he stayed by his side.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, when Wei Zheng was thinking about playing chess, he suddenly threw his head up and fell down, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

Tang Taizong didn't know about beheading the Dragon King in his dream, so he smiled to his left and right: "Aiqing has worked so hard for the affairs of the country, and his affection is commendable."

As soon as the words fell, Wei Zheng opened his eyes, and quickly knelt down to confess his crimes. Taizong is a virtuous person, so he would never ask him about his sins.

The two monarchs and ministers started playing chess again, but just after a few moves, two generals came forward outside the door, carried a huge dragon head to the front hall, and shouted excitedly to Tang Taizong:

"Your Majesty! Come and see! This is the first time such a miracle happened, a dragon's head fell from the clouds!"

Tang Taizong was shocked, and hurried to the front hall of the Wei Mansion. Seeing the miserable state of the dragon head, he almost rolled his eyes and closed his breath.

In the end, this son of heaven also fought all the way out of the mountains of swords and seas of fire, with an extraordinary temperament, he barely stabilized his position, but knowing that he had a responsibility, Wei Zheng still beheaded the Dragon King of Jinghe.

Emperor Taizong of Tang sighed, ordered people to bury the dragon head, and then returned to the palace. After a few days of depression, he fell ill. He couldn't sleep every day, and he would have nightmares when he fell asleep.

The imperial doctor was at a loss, and the two door gods couldn't restrain the evil spirit.

Tang Taizong's illness gradually intensified, and the Great Tang Dynasty Hall was greatly affected. The people of the Li people all prayed for the virtuous king, but it was also ineffective.

The reason is that the lone soul of the Jinghe Dragon King is at work. The lone soul of the Dragon King who was born in the dragon clan and has a bit of mana is indeed not something that ordinary people can solve.

After coming and going, some ministers begged to come to Hongfu Temple.

The abbot of the Hongfu Temple had long been dreamed of by the Arhat, and directly said that Xuanzang, the elder in the temple, could do this ritual to save the lonely soul of the Dragon King...

Afterwards things are much simpler.

Xuanzang just went to Tang Taizong's bedside to read the scriptures overnight. At dawn, the lonely soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe appeared to meet him, debated with Xuanzang, was persuaded by Xuanzang, let out a long sigh, and left quietly.

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had a peaceful night's sleep without any nightmares, and he was overjoyed when he woke up; Xuanzang relayed what the Dragon King of Jinghe had said.

Thus, the title of Yudigege came into being like this.

Naturally, these were calculated by the Buddhist sect. Next, Xuanzang proceeded step by step to prepare for his journey to the west. This time, he would not only go on the road by himself, but also bring a little luck from the human race with him.

In order for Buddhism to prosper, these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas racked their brains one by one, wishing to directly confuse Tang Taizong to establish Buddhism as the state religion.

But if he really did this, the Taoist sect would really stand up and talk to the Buddhist sect.

Seeing that Chang'an was safe, the Cihang Taoist who had been arranging all this in secret, and in a few months, Xuanzang's westbound chariots and horses would be on the road, so they flew towards the west with clouds.

The road Xuanzang wants to take is the road to heaven that the human race took to avoid the slaughter of the monster race. It contains boundless merit and luck for the human race.

Buddhism has long planned for this. The land occupied by Lingshan is the end of the road to the sky, and it is also the place where the human race swore the oath of heaven and prospered since then when they were desperate.

Cihang first went to Wuzhi Mountain, which has been frequented for hundreds of years, and a white cloud slowly descended, which immediately refreshed the sleepy monkey.

"Buddha!"

"Wukong," Cihang showed a gentle smile, pinched the six pure bamboos with his fingers and gently waved them to Monkey King, and a touch of fairy mist immediately entered Monkey King's mouth, which could keep him from thirsting for decades.

Compared with five hundred years ago, Sun Wukong seems to have lost a lot of vigor and wildness, and is more like the little monkey who laughed at everyone when he first went to Fangcun Mountain.

"Thank you Bodhisattva, thank you Bodhisattva!"

"Wukong, do you still remember what I told you earlier?"

Sun Wukong nodded quickly: "I remember, of course I remember, but you want us to protect the Buddhist scriptures to go to Lingshan to learn Buddhist scriptures? Bodhisattva, but you want to let me out?"

"Of course I want to let you out," Ci Hangdao frowned slightly.

In fact, she couldn't see through the mind of the spirit monkey at this time, but the World-Honored One gave such an explanation, and she could only follow orders.

Cihang said: "In another year and a half, someone will come to you. If someone can rescue you from Wuzhi Mountain, you will worship that person as your master and escort him to Lingshan to obtain the scriptures and overcome the difficulties in the world. Wukong, if this is done, you will be rewarded with merit and virtue, and you will be able to enjoy yourself in the world from now on."

Sun Wukong's eyes were a little dazed.

"Wukong?"

"Oh, what the Bodhisattva said is true, we naturally understand this," Sun Wukong laughed, "Don't worry, Bodhisattva, I have written all these down, and when the person who learns the scriptures comes, I will send him to Lingshan."

"That's good," Cihang nodded slowly, and then instructed Sun Wukong a few more words, and flew towards the west on the cloud.

As soon as Cihang left, Monkey King's laughing face disappeared immediately, and the corners of his mouth twitched impatiently.

"These buddhist guys just want my old grandson to be your bull and horse for you! Hmph, it's really annoying... Forget it, it's too boring to be locked up here. It's better to wait for the scripture learner to come. My old grandson will give him a few words and take him to Lingshan."

After yawning, Monkey King moved his neck as much as possible, drooped his head, and fell asleep again in a daze.

...

Let's say that Cihang traveled all the way west, and flew straight to a fairly lush town.

Gao Laozhuang.

The pig demon who was reincarnated in Tianpeng enjoyed the blessings here, and happened to be the son-in-law of the Gao family at this time. When Cihang found him, he was in love with his wife in the backyard.

The young couple are as gluey as paint, their appearance is enviable to others;

When the love is deep, it is natural to undress, even in broad daylight, it is hard to resist the deep love of this idiot and resentment.

Cihang sat outside for a while, naturally not to observe the matter of the man and woman, but to ponder the state of mind of Marshal Tianpeng at this time.

If this is too beautiful, Marshal Tianpeng may not have the heart to go west...

After thinking for a while, Cihang raised his hand and tapped lightly on the men and women who were embracing in a ball. The canopy shook his body, but he was unconsciously planning.

Fortunately, Cihang's subordinates were merciful and did not let Marshal Tianpeng reveal his real body at this time, but Cihang put a prison on the canopy, as long as the canopy dared to drink, it would directly appear as a fat pig monster.

After finishing these, Cihang quietly headed west.

The third place I went to was Yingchou Stream. I met Xiaobailong at Yingchou Stream, and after getting Xiaobailong's consent, I rushed to Liusha River.

Along the way, Cihang was also watching the eighty-one disasters arranged along the way.

For ordinary small catastrophes, they are just for the upcoming quartet of Buddhist scriptures to 'get experience', but behind these catastrophes, there are many powerful figures in the world.

Even Zhenyuan Daxian moved his Wuzhuang Temple to the road to the sky, waiting for Monkey King and the others to arrive, and earn some merit and luck during the disaster of Journey to the West.

The Rolling Curtain General in the Liusha River naturally did not dare to disobey Buddhism and the will of the Jade Emperor, but he was the one who was the easiest to appease. As long as he stopped the daily pain of thousands of swords to kill his heart, it would be a great gift to him.

After Cihang finished arranging all kinds of arrangements, when he looked back, he seemed to have seen the master and apprentice walking slowly westward on the road.

That being said, there is nothing wrong with it.

Four people and one horse in Journey to the West, Xuanzang is the reincarnation of the golden cicada, Wu Neng is the marshal of the heaven, Monk Sha is the general of the curtain, and Xiao Bailong is the dragon son of the West Sea.

Corresponding to the three major forces of Buddhism, Taoism, and Heaven respectively, plus the hidden force of the Dragon Clan, which is deeply hidden.

And Sun Wukong was part of the 'calculation', and he was the one with the most innocent worth and the purest motives.

If we talk about the backing of Monkey King...

At this time, there is only Yang Jian alone, and he is still unknown to Monkey King.

In this way, the disaster of Journey to the West quietly began.

A few months later, Chang'an held a water and land meeting. Xuanzang received the customs clearance documents and headed westward with a guard of honor bestowed by the king of Tang.

Yang Jian, who originally thought about going to the Journey to the West team to watch a play at this time, is now busy practicing and has no time to care about him.
