Chapter 308 Tang Seng Advises Cihang
To be honest, when they heard that Tang Sanzang wanted to persuade Cihang to return to Buddhism, both Manjusri and Samantabhadra were stunned. In their opinion, how could they rely on Tang Sanzang to do something that even lighting a lamp couldn't be done?
A few words from Sanzang made Cihang change his mind and return to Buddhism.
However, given Tang Sanzang's character in this life, he would not listen to anyone's advice when he was stubborn, especially since he was a Buddhist and believed in Buddhism very much.
Shu and Puxian were both men. Although they were not optimistic about this matter, they did not try to dissuade Tang Sanzang from doing anything. They just went along with him to protect Tang Sanzang's safety.
Now Tang Sanzang was also a golden immortal, and his footsteps were extremely fast. He quickly arrived in front of the camp where Wang Hu was.
"Amitabha, the poor monk Zhantan Merit Buddha, please go to the palace to see the Emperor and Guanyin Bodhisattva."
Although he was a bit pedantic, Tang Sanzang was still a very observant person and he asked for an audience with courtesy.
When Wang Hu heard Tang Sanzang's arrival, he was still talking to Cihang. At this time, both of them couldn't help being slightly startled.
"Cihang, how about you go out with me and meet me?"
Wang Hu thought for a while and then asked, Cihang smiled and nodded.
"Amitabha, the poor monk has met Emperor Gouchen and met Guanyin Bodhisattva. The poor monk came here to persuade Guanyin Bodhisattva to return to Buddhism. Hearing that the Bodhisattva was going to rebel and leave, the young monk thought it was inappropriate. Our Buddha is compassionate, and the Bodhisattva
The purpose of understanding Buddhist teachings is to promote Buddhism so that everyone in the three realms can believe in Buddhism and take refuge in our Buddha. How can this be done now?"
After Tang Sanzang briefly greeted Wang Hu, he continued to speak to Cihang. At the end of the speech, all kinds of wonderful Buddhist principles came out one after another, just like preaching the scriptures and transforming mortals.
After hearing Tang Sanzang's endless chatter, Wang Hu also felt a little bored. He immediately turned to look at Guanyin Bodhisattva. When he saw this, she also frowned, obviously not very willing to listen.
"Enough!"
"I respect you as the Tantan Merit Buddha of Buddhism and have a high status, but I don't know whether you are good or not. Now that Cihang has returned to Taoism, he has nothing to do with your Buddhism anymore. Why come here to make noise again? I am thinking about the battle between the two armies.
Bu Zhan came to tell them, I will not make things difficult for you now, just go back to where you came from!"
"Amitabha, Emperor Gouchen is impatient!"
Although he was interrupted by Wang Hu, Tang Sanzang didn't show any anger at all and still bowed down and said kindly.
"The Great Emperor Gouchen learned that my Buddha's compassion is to persuade everyone to do good. If all living beings in the three realms can believe in my Buddha, then there will be no more killings and sorrows in the three realms, and everyone in the three realms will be able to
Equality, shared peace.”
Hearing Tang Sanzang's words, Wang Hu immediately spoke again, but at this time he discovered that Tang Sanzang came here this time not only to persuade Cihang to return to Buddhism, but also to save himself.
I'm afraid that for Tang Sanzang, regardless of whether he and Cihang were within Buddhism, as long as they entered Buddhism, they would be able to obtain bliss.
However, in fact, whether it is himself or Cihang, if he really dares to enter Buddhism again, then it is not a bad thing to be ostracized and unable to get ahead. I am afraid that even if he wants to practice further, it will be impossible.
"Amitabha, I have turned back from the sea of suffering. Now the Jade Emperor has the heart to worship the Buddha. If all the heavenly emperors in the three realms can believe in my Buddha, then the living beings in the three realms can also believe in my Buddha. By then, the three realms can enjoy eternal peace. Poverty
The monk is sincere and I hope Your Majesty will know it."
Seeing that Wang Hu and Cihang were both silent, Tang Sanzang immediately spoke slowly again, as if he wanted to convert them all into Buddhism.
At this time, Wang Hu still didn't understand that Tang Sanzang was different from Manjusri, Samantabhadra and Ksitigarbha.
Tang Sanzang was the kind of 'fanatic believer' who ignored his own power, did not care about his status and power, and only devoted himself to ascetic cultivation and the prosperity of Buddhism.
If Tang Sanzang could be sure that removing the Tantan Merit Buddha's position would be able to save all sentient beings and introduce them all to Buddhism, he would probably remove the Buddha's position without saying a word.
Compared with Zhao Gongming who loved Jie Jiao, Tang Sanzang was more afraid and went even further.
Wang Hu also understands that any reason he talks to at this time may be useless. What he firmly believes is that Buddhism is always the best. Only by entering Buddhism can he be liberated.
"Manjusri and Samantabhadra, are you both coming here at the same time for this purpose?"
At this moment, Wang Hu looked at Manjusri and Samantabhadra who were standing aside. These two men were obviously not like Tang Sanzang and immediately couldn't help but smile bitterly and didn't know how to respond.
Seeing Manjusri and Samantabhadra acting like this, Wang Hu still didn't understand that this matter was probably Tang Sanzang's wishful thinking.
When he saw Tang Sanzang and wanted to speak, Wang Hu immediately spoke to him first.
"Buddha Zhantan Merit, you don't need to say more. This emperor is destined to have a predestined relationship with Buddhism. As for Cihang, he has returned to Taoism now, and he will not return to your Buddhism to take the position of Guanyin Bodhisattva again. You don't need to say more!"
Although Tang Sanzang was a bit stubborn, he was certainly not a stupid person. As soon as Wang Hu said these words, he could hear the determination in them.
After understanding the Dharma and persuading Wang Hu, Tang Sanzang set his sights on Cihang, obviously hoping to get a reply from the Guanyin Bodhisattva he respected most in the past.
"Zun Jie, Pindao has now returned to Taoism. It is for the sake of Taoist Cihang. He has no connection with Guanyin Bodhisattva in the past. Pindao has accepted the good intentions of Zhantan Merit Buddha."
"Amitabha, in that case, the poor monk takes his leave."
Seeing Cihang like this, Tang Sanzang also gave up and said immediately.
Although there are only two great golden immortals, Manjusri and Samantabhadra, here now, Wang Hu does not dare to scoop them up and let them leave.
"Amitabha, I never imagined that evil spirits are so rampant these days that even Venerable Avalokitesvara would be tempted by them to go astray and deviate from my Buddha's purpose."
After leaving, Tang Sanzang immediately cried out in pain.
"It's a pity that the poor monk can't persuade him to come back!"
"Buddha of Sandalwood Merit, please don't be sad. Although I am a Buddha who is vast, there are always some evil spirits that are difficult to conquer. However, I am a compassionate Buddha, but I also have ways to subjugate the evil spirits. At this time, go and invite my Buddhist protector, the Fighting Victory Buddha.
The ability to defeat the Buddha through fighting will definitely drive away the evil spirits and restore a peaceful world to the three realms."
Hearing Tang Sanzang cry out in pain, Manjusri immediately stepped forward and said.
Upon hearing what Manjusri said, Tang Sanzang immediately straightened his face, nodded seriously and said.
"Yes, my Buddha is merciful, but there are also ways to conquer demons. Since the poor monk can't conquer those evil demons with his strength, we can only ask Wukong to come out and help."
Then Tang Sanzang and the others did not look back at the Jade Emperor, and headed straight for Huaguo Mountain.
Sun Wukong was quite happy to see Tang Sanzang coming. He welcomed him into the Water Curtain Cave and ordered his subordinates to offer him various fruits.
Tang Sanzang had obviously not seen Sun Wukong for a long time, and now he felt a little happy when he saw him. He immediately started chatting and laughing with him, and for a moment he forgot the purpose of his visit.
It has to be said that staying here still makes Manjusri and Samantabhadra feel a little uncomfortable. Seeing Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong chatting and laughing happily, Manjusri and Samantabhadra looked at each other, and Manjusri spoke.
"Fighting against the Buddha, a few poor monks came here to ask for something. Now there are emperors of heaven in the three realms fighting, and the Jade Emperor is also among them. My Buddhist door is vast, and I accept all the people who are destined. Now that the Jade Emperor is destined to my Buddhist door, he should enter my Buddhist door.
.However, the Jade Emperor’s cause and effect has not yet been resolved. If he rashly enters my Buddhist door, he will bring about the cause and effect of the mortal world to my Paradise. Therefore, I, the Buddha, will wait until the cause and effect of the mortal world is resolved before I can save him."
"Oh? Hmm!"
When Sun Wukong heard this, his ears twitched, but there was no response. Seeing this, Samantabhadra also smiled and said.
"Right now, the Jade Emperor is fighting with Emperor Gou Chen. Although the Jade Emperor himself is more powerful, he still has more soldiers and generals than Emperor Gou Chen. The Buddha has great magical powers to defeat him. If we can help him, he will definitely be able to capture him."
"Hehe... After talking for a long time, the two Bodhisattvas want me to go out to fight against the Great Emperor Gouchen?"
After Sun Wukong laughed "hehe" twice, his eyes turned on the faces of Manjusri and Samantabhadra and said.
Just when Manjusri and Samantabhadra thought that Sun Wukong would agree to it, they didn't expect that Sun Wukong's voice would change.
"No! Since I learned the scriptures, I have put down my butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. I am no longer interested in that kind of fighting and killing. For this kind of thing, you two should hire someone else who is wise!"
Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, Manjusri and Samantabhadra understood that Sun Wukong was playing the monkey trick, and immediately looked at Tang Sanzang. As expected, Tang Sanzang said with a straight face.
"Wukong, since you fought to defeat the Buddha, you only have to defeat demons for my Buddhist sect. How can you escape like this? Now you are going together with my master."
Sun Wukong originally wanted to play tricks again, but when he heard Tang Sanzang say this, he immediately blinked and hesitated for a moment without saying anything. Although it was for the sake of Tang Sanzang, his master, he still obviously felt unhappy in his heart.
Very happy.
"Wukong, my master knows that you are very capable now, and not many people in the three worlds still take it seriously. But now that you have defeated the Buddha in a fight, you should think about me, the Buddha, and fulfill the purpose of my Buddhism. How can you do it when you encounter trouble?
Take it off instead?"
At this time, Tang Sanzang taught him this again. After hearing these words, Sun Wukong didn't know what to do and could only nod.
