Journey to the West: God's Choice

“Revitalizing Buddhism?”

Tang Sanzang looked at Rulai, although he didn’t know the meaning of Rulai’s words, he also guessed something in his heart.

After all, there is too much information contained in this sentence.

“I do!”

Tang Sanzang looked flat and said out loud.

“Good!”

Rulai nodded, his eyes showing kindness.

Looking at Tang Sanzang in front of him, he seemed to see the golden cicada who used to sit under his seat and listen to him talk about Buddhism.

“Guanyin, you and Sanzang will talk about the eastern transmission of the Dharma.”

Rulai called Nanhai Guanyin, who was standing on the side, and said in a loud voice.

“Yes, Master.”

Nanhai Guanyin nodded and agreed.

Tang Sanzang looked at Nanhai Guanyin, and then at Rulai, for some reason, he had an intuition in his heart, both of them were not ordinary people.

“Sanzang, after the land and water festival, the Tang Emperor will send people to the Buddhist holy land Lingshan to collect sutras, so that profound Dharma can circulate in the Great Tang.” Nanhai Guanyin said loudly.

When Tang Sanzang heard Nanhai Guanyin’s words, his heart moved, his expression was very stunned, and he said in a loud voice: “Female benefactor, you mean, this time I will go back to the Buddhist holy land Lingshan to obtain scriptures?” ”

No wonder Tang Sanzang was stunned, for mortals, Lingshan was a legendary place, that was the holy place of Buddhism, the Pure Land of Lingshan.

All Buddhist people aspire to enter the Spirit Mountain after death, and it is said that where there is no sorrow or pain, it is a true pure land.

“My name is Nanhai Guanyin, you can call me Guanyin Daishi.” After Nanhai Guanyin heard Tang Sanzang call her, she corrected with a smile.

“Guanyin Daishi!”

Tang Sanzang was shocked when he heard this, his eyes looked at Nanhai Guanyin in shock, and he stammered: “You… Are you Guanyin Daishi? Nanhai Guanyin Bodhisattva? ”

“Huh!”

Nanhai Guanyin nodded with a smile and said out loud: “Yes, I am Nanhai Guanyin Bodhisattva, this is what mortals call me.” ”

“This, this, this…”

Tang Sanzang looked shocked, and his mouth opened wide, not knowing what to say.

Ran, the expression on his face was stunned, he turned his head to look at Rulai, and thought in his mind that Nanhai Guanyin had just called him Master, then, Rulai’s identity was also called out.

Master of Buddhism: Rulai.

“Disciples see me Buddha Rulai, see Guanyin Daishi.”

Tang Sanzang quickly got up, bowed very respectfully to Rulai and Nanhai Guanyin, and said out loud.

At this time, his heart was full of horror, he knew that the identities of Rulai and Nanhai Guanyin were not simple, but he did not expect it to be so big, which shocked him in his heart.

“Sanzang, get up, this eastern transmission of Buddhism is extremely important to my Buddhism, I hope you can bring advanced Buddhism from the West to the Great Tang Dynasty, so that my Buddhism will attract great prosperity from now on.” Rulai said with a smile.

“The disciple obeys.”

Tang Sanzang’s face was full of excitement and said out loud.

Immediately, a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

“Sanzang, you don’t have to hide anything you say.”

Rulai saw the hesitation on Tang Sanzang’s face, and said out loud.

“Yes.”

Tang Sanzang nodded and said out loud, “The disciple wants to ask, where is the Spirit Mountain?” How should a disciple seek the scriptures? ”

“Hehe, Sanzang, you don’t have to worry about this, after the land and water festival, you will know, in addition, the process of obtaining scriptures this time is very dangerous, I found a protector and two apprentices for you, and a mount, there are some crises on the way to obtain scriptures, and may even endanger your life, I hope you are prepared.” Rulai said out loud.

The eastern transmission of Buddhism is too extensive, and even with Sun Sheng as a protector, this path of learning from the sutras will not be too simple.

“Disciples are not afraid.”

Tang Sanzang said with a firm expression.

“Good!”

Rulai looked very satisfied, thought about it, took out two “Scripture Hoops” from his arms, and handed them to Tang Sanzang.

“Buddha, what is this?”

Tang Sanzang took the two “Prayer Hoops” and asked Rulai with a puzzled gaze.

“This is the “Scripture Hoop”, it is a special treasure refined by my Buddhist sect, when the time comes, you will bring these two “Scripture Hoops” to your two disciples respectively, let them ensure that you take the scriptures from the Western Heaven, and if they are disobedient at that time, you will read the scriptures, and this “Scripture Hoops” will keep shrinking with the scriptures, so that you can use your two disciples with confidence and let them escort you all the way to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures.” Rulai said out loud.

“This…”

Tang Sanzang looked at the “Scripture Hoop” in his hand, thought for a while, and said out loud: “Buddha, why do you want to use this object to restrain my two disciples, are they not willing to go to the Western Heaven to obtain scriptures?” ”

“They are naturally willing to go to the Western Heaven to obtain scriptures, but your two apprentices are not mortals, and sometimes you may not be able to restrain them, so you will use this Scripture Hoop to ensure that they listen to you.” Rulai said out loud.

In fact, there is still a sentence that does not say, there were originally three of these “Scripture Hoops”, and Sun Sheng was also designated as a disciple of Tang Sanzang at the beginning, but helplessly Sun Sheng’s strength was too strong, so that Buddhism had to retreat to the second place and let him participate in the sutra as a protector.

In the original work, not only Sun Wukong was wearing the “Warp Hoop”, but also Zhu Bajie and the sand monk also carried the “Warp Hoop” on their heads.

However, because Sun Wukong’s personality is too picky, it is he who is read “Scripture Hoops” every time.

“So it is.”

Tang Sanzang nodded, he was not a pedantic person, knowing that the people who came to block him this time were not mortals.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been.

Tang Sanzang put the two “Prayer Hoops” in his arms, looked at Rulai and asked, “Buddha, I don’t know what scripture I should recite at that time before I can use the “Prayer Hoops”. ”

“You drop a drop of essence blood on each of the two Sutra Hoops, and if your two disciples don’t listen to you, you can just recite the six-character mantra of the Buddha Sect.” Rulai said out loud.

Tang Sanzang nodded, another thought popped up in his mind, and asked aloud, “Buddha, what should I do if my two disciples remove the Scripture Hoop?” ”

“Huh!”

Rulai smiled and said out loud: “Sanzang, once this “Scripture Hoop” is put on, unless you go to the Western Heaven to complete the true scripture, you can only take it off with the immeasurable Buddha light of Lingshan at that time, otherwise, you can’t take it off.” ”

Of course, there is another sentence that is not said, in addition to the immeasurable Buddha light of the Spirit Mountain can be taken down, if the cultivation reaches the peak of Da Luo, you can automatically break free of the meridian hoop, and forcibly smash the “meridian hoop” with powerful cultivation.

Even if it is the whole of Buddhism, there are only five “prayer hoops”, one is that the refining process is difficult, and the other is that the materials are difficult to find, so each “prayer hoop” is very cherished.

For this eastern transmission of the Dharma, Buddhism took out three at once, which shows the importance it attaches to this event.

Of course, Sun Sheng did not dare to put on the “Sutra Hoop” for his own reasons.
