Chapter 163 My Journey to Learn the Buddhist Scriptures Has Just Begun
The next day, early morning.
For the first time since he ascended the throne, King Tang did not go to the early court.
For the king of Tang, who was diligent in government and loved the people, and insisted on going to court even when he was seriously ill, the reason why he made an exception not to go to court early was naturally that Mufeng was going to travel to the west.
It was just dawn, and under the imperial order of the Tang King, all the civil and military officials had arrived to see off Mufeng who was going to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures.
At the west gate of Chang'an City, Mufeng stood outside the city gate, opposite him was the tearful Tang Wang Li Shimin.
"Holy Monk, drink up this cup of hometown wine, and don't forget the people of the Tang Dynasty!" As he said, Tang Wang stretched out his hand to pick up some soil, and sprinkled it into the wine cup handed to Mufeng.
Mufeng: "."
Are you sure, you didn't take the opportunity to take revenge because I didn't accept you as a godson?
Looking at the wine that was sprinkled with soil, the corner of Mufeng's mouth twitched. Although he said that he would not have a stomachache after drinking this glass of wine with added ingredients, but he really didn't have this kind of wine with soil added. The heavy taste!
Seeing the sincerity on Tang Wang's face, Mu Feng resisted the urge to slap this guy to death, and organized the words in his mind in a fraction of a second.
"Your Majesty, I am going west this time to take down the Western Sutra that saves all living beings from suffering. If you break the precepts by drinking at this time, you are afraid that your heart will be dishonest, you will not be able to see the Buddha, and you will not be able to obtain the Sutra!"
When he said this, Mu Feng had a solemn expression on his face, giving people a sense of justice and dignity.
However, seeing his expression, many people who saw what he did before almost vomited.
King Tang: "." That's not what you said when you were feasting on fish, meat, wine, and delicacies in the palace. Why do you just refuse to drink now?
Avalokitesvara hidden in the dark: "." Who demoted the Buddha to nothing in front of tens of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty?
Who said that if you just want to travel, you can take off the West Longitude along the way?
Why do you start to care about being insincere and not being able to see the Buddha now?What did you do early?
Hui'an Walker: "."
"Bodhisattva, can this holy monk really obtain the Western Scriptures?"
Seeing Mufeng's performance in the past two days, Hui'an Xingzhe feels that this question is really a bit hanging.
"." Bodhisattva, "Should be able to!"
What he said, he is also a little bit clueless!
Regardless of what others think, after finding a reasonable reason to refuse, Mu Feng didn't take a sip of the fine wine that Tang Wang Li Shimin added.
Seeing that Mufeng decided not to drink, Tang Wang had a thought and thought of a step for himself.
"What the holy monk said is very true, then this cup of vegetarian wine, I will sprinkle it to the homeland on behalf of the holy monk, and hope that the holy monk will return soon!"
After finishing speaking, Tang Wang held the wine glass with both hands and spilled a glass of fine wine on the ground.
After finishing the work on the scene and seeing that the sun was already high, Mu Feng bid farewell to King Tang and was about to leave.
However, before leaving, King Tang called Mu Feng to stop again.
"Holy Monk, the journey to learn the scriptures is one hundred and eight thousand miles long, and there are countless hardships and obstacles. Let this white horse be sent to the Holy Monk for transportation!"
As he said that, King Tang personally took the white horse behind him and handed it to Mufeng. Then, before Mufeng could refuse, King Tang pointed to the pair of guards and maids behind him again.
"These attendants are expected to be brought by the holy monk. They can also take care of the holy monk's daily life along the way!"
Mufeng: "." My buddies are traveling, not as babysitters. With such a group, the monsters come. Who will take care of whom?
"Your Majesty, it's very inconvenient to travel through the mountains and roads. Your Majesty should take these people back. I can go alone!"
Seeing the group of mortals arranged by King Tang, Mu Feng decisively refused.
However, how could the king of Tang, who had placed high hopes on Mufeng to learn from the scriptures, stop there?
"I know that the holy monk has some tricks against demons and goblins, but along the way, there are not many strong men and bandits, so bringing a few guards can also play a deterrent and protective role.
No matter how powerful the holy monk is, he can't do everything by himself! "
What Tang Wang said was sincere, as if Mu Feng had lost the face of Datang without bringing a few guards.
And upon hearing King Tang's words, Mu Feng also had a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Your Majesty's words are also reasonable." After pondering for a moment, Mu Feng nodded under Tang Wang's gratifying gaze.
Then, I saw this guy looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and said indifferently, "It's a big deal to learn from the Western Paradise, how can you not be fully prepared?
Sure enough, now, I still lack a disciple with great powers to protect me from going west! "
King Tang: "."
Civil and military officials: "."
Avalokitesvara and Hui'an Walker: "."
Disciple with great magical powers, will you guarantee your westward journey unhindered?
Brother, it’s already dawn, let’s stop dreaming, okay?
I also want to have such an apprentice, why don't you give me a stack, and I will learn scriptures for you?
Different from the original novel of Journey to the West, under the Five Elements Mountain did not suppress the Monkey King who was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace. Instead, it was the Buddha of their Buddhism who was suppressed.
Without Sakyamuni's presidency, the legend about Tang Monk's meat did not appear in this world.
Therefore, when Avalokitesvara accepted the task of finding the Buddhist scriptures, she did not help the Buddhist scriptures to find some apprentices to protect her from the Buddhist scriptures.
Therefore, after hearing Mufeng's brazen words, not only the king of Tang and the civil and military officials behind him, but also Guanyin and Hui'an Xingzhe felt that the person who learned the scriptures was too loud.
They couldn't see Mu Feng's realm, in their eyes, this was a mortal with a poisonous mouth.
As a mortal, you still want to have a disciple with great supernatural powers to help you go to the West to obtain scriptures. Why don't you ask Tathagata to personally deliver the scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism to you?
Thinking this way, he didn't know that if he knew Mufeng's identity, their Buddha would really come rushing to deliver the Buddhist scriptures.
Looking at Mufeng looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, the corner of Tang Wang's mouth twitched a few times, hesitant to say the phrase "stop dreaming", but chose a more euphemistic way.
"Holy monk, since there are no disciples with great supernatural powers, why don't you take some followers with you!"
What he said was to create a step down for Mufeng.
But, how could Mufeng use his steps?
Shaking his head and rejecting King Tang's proposal, Mu Feng turned around and looked to the west, "My apprentice, why don't you show up yet?"
King Tang: "."
Is this holy monk stunned?Must be right?
Do you want to give him a slap to wake him up and make him more realistic?
Guanyin: "."
Are you sure that this person who learns the scriptures doesn't have some ailments in his brain?Otherwise, why do you feel a strong second stroke coming?
Hui'an Walker: "."
So, such a person who learns the scriptures will definitely not be able to reach the Western Paradise, see the Buddha, or obtain the Western Scriptures, right?
With this kind of IQ, he would be beaten to death if he didn't walk halfway, right?
However, life is like a naughty child who always likes to slap people in the face.
Just when these people couldn't help wondering whether the pilgrim was out of his mind, they saw that just after Mu Feng's words fell, a stream of light pierced the sky and came rapidly from a place thousands of miles away from the west.
This streamer, when I saw it just now, was thousands of miles away, and in the next moment, before everyone had time to blink, the streamer had already come close.
"Master, master, my old grandson is here, my old grandson is here with you to learn scriptures from the Western Paradise!"
Everyone heard the reputation and looked, but saw that the streamer had stopped in front of Mufeng, revealing the appearance of a monkey with golden hair all over its body.
This turned out to be a monkey that could speak human words and fly into the sky and escape from the ground.
"Youyoukai!" When he saw the monkey who spouted human words, King Tang's first reaction was no different from that of other mortals.
Subconsciously took a step back and shouted, almost shouting for help.
But when he heard King Tang's words, the monkey immediately became unhappy.
Glaring at King Tang fiercely, the monkey sneered at King Tang, "What monster, my old grandson is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace 500 years ago, and the Monkey King Sun Wukong of Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain!"
In the sky, the morning sun climbed into the clouds.
A streak of auspicious color sprinkled down and shone on the monkey, making the monkey's golden hair more and more beautiful.
And this golden monkey, wearing a purple gold crown on his head, wearing chain mail, and walking on cloud shoes under his feet, looked extremely mighty, and accompanied by that mighty and disobedient name, he immediately stunned King Tang and his party, saying Can't say a word.
Compared with the shock of these mortals below, Guanyin and Hui'an Xingzhe, who were hidden in the void, had already opened their mouths enough to swallow a mountain.
Sun Wukong!
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, who made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, severely injured their Buddha. In the end, he was suppressed by his master at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain and failed to come out for 500 years.
Why did he appear here?Why would you call a mortal master and still be willing to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures with him?
Almost at the same time, Guanyin and Hui'an Xingzhe thought of the same figure in their minds.
500 years ago, their Buddha, in high spirits, went to the Heavenly Court to help the Heavenly Court subdue the rebellious monster monkey.
As a result, just when the monstrous monkey was about to be suppressed, the figure that made the void tremble appeared between the heavens and the earth. With one finger, he shattered the Five Fingers Mountain that was transformed into the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of the Buddha, and with one finger, he smashed the Qitian in the Taiyi realm. The great sage forcibly promoted to the quasi-sage realm, severely injured the Buddha, destroyed half of the heaven with one palm, and banned the Tathagata Buddha for 500 years with one word!
That person, that figure, is the master of this monkey who suddenly appeared, that terrifying unknown strongman.
Could it be that.
Seeing Mufeng standing there like a mortal, and looking at the monkey standing respectfully beside Mufeng, both Guanyin and Hui'an Xingzhe's hearts twitched fiercely.
They just felt that they seemed to have discovered some shocking secret.
Looking at each other, Guanyin and Hui'an Xingzhe both had the urge to cry.
They actually saw the real body of that person, they won't be silenced, right?
Especially Guanyin, thinking that he wanted to attack this terrifying existence yesterday, he couldn't help admiring his ability to kill.
And below, Mu Feng, who reunited with the monkey who had been away for 500 years, seems to have felt the thoughts of Guanyin and Guanyin.
Raising his head, Mu Feng glanced at the hiding place of Guanyin and Hui'an Walker, and a spiritual thought came out.
"My journey of learning has just begun, I hope no one spoils the fun of my travels!"
