Chapter 33 Merit descends from heaven
The master and apprentice walked for a few days, walked out of the Tianzhu Kingdom and came to a Buddhist temple.
There are gold everywhere in the Buddhist temple and pagodas are everywhere, but there are no monks.
Several people entered the Buddhist temple and came to a lotus pond. An immortal stood beside him and said to the master and disciple: "Is the visitor a scholar from Dongtu?"
Wukong smiled and said, "Master, this is a great immortal from the Golden Top. It should have been sent by the Buddha Tathagata to pick us up."
Chen Mang gave a Buddhist ceremony: "Amitabha, I have seen the great immortal of the Golden Top."
The great immortal of Jinding nodded with a smile: "Since Guanyin took the decree of the Tathagata Bodhisattva to seek the sutra, I have been waiting for you here. I didn't expect that it would take more than ten years to wait for you. You master and disciple first wash away dust and dirt in this lotus pond, and then go to meet the Buddha."
Chen Mang breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the golden pool of merit in front of him, showing a sigh: "Traveling 108,000 miles west, I have suffered from wind, frost, rain and snow along the way. I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well. I have to worry about being beaten by that monster. After going through ups and downs, I can finally bear the merit today. Namo Amitabha!"
Several apprentices looked at Chen Mang with confusion. After thinking for a long time, they could not think of who the master was talking about, so they couldn't help but ask questions.
The corners of the Jinding Immortal's mouth twitched and said with a forced smile: "Haha, holy monk, please take a shower."
Chen Mang pulled off the monk's robe, jumped into the golden pool of merit with a thud, and shouted to the top: "Disciples, come down!"
Several apprentices all looked happy and jumped into the lotus pond as if they were like this.
After the master and apprentice arrived, the Heavenly Dao immediately responded and subdued a rich power of merit and poured onto the master and apprentice.
Bajie felt that the magic power on his body was smooth, and there was no obstacle from the pig body. He slowly increased. His magic power quickly exceeded that when he was Marshal Tianpeng, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Wukong was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years and made up for the loss in an instant. His magic power broke through the realm one after another, and his mood slowly improved!
Bailongma and Sha Seng also felt the changes in their bodies, and a joyful smile appeared on their faces.
Chen Mang killed the most demons along the way and also gained the most merits. He ignored his physical body and magic power at all, and strengthened his soul with the power of merit.
After a moment, Chen Mang absorbed all the merit power, felt that his soul had grown several times stronger, and his spiritual consciousness swept away and covered the entire spiritual mountain.
At the same time, the Tathagata on the lotus throne slowly opened his eyes.
At this time, Tathagata had stopped his fingers of calculation and sighed slightly, feeling that he must have been plotted against by someone.
Originally, as the initiator of this Journey to the West, he should have at least half of the merits of the journey to the West to subdue demons.
But first, Dizang entered the game to pass on the power of Jin Chanzi and divided his fortune. Then Zhen Yuanzi, Ran Deng and Maitreya appeared one after another, strengthened Jin Chanzi's magic power, directly destroyed the monsters in the mortal world, and even killed the Golden-winged Roc Eagle who defected to him.
Now even if he wants to do a Journey to the West again, there are not enough monsters for him to use.
The layers of designs, the involvement of countless powerful people, was obviously someone behind the scenes, but he couldn't figure out who it was. He could only watch Jiu Chenggong be taken away by Jin Chanzi, and he didn't even get 10% of it, and he couldn't help but feel depressed.
At this time, the master and disciple who had bathed in the merits had come out of the lotus pond, put on their clothes, and headed towards the Daleiyin Temple.
After walking for a while, a big river crossed the way.
Chen Mang stood by the river bank, looking at Lingshan opposite him with emotion. After waiting for a long time, he did not see the Buddha who led him to take a boat to cross him. He smiled slightly and said, "Since the Buddha does not cross me, I will cross myself." After the words came, Chen Mang stepped on the water with one foot, stirring up a huge wave and took several disciples across the river.
Soon, several people came to Daleiyin Temple.
In the Great Hall, there are eight Bodhisattvas, four Vajras, five hundred Aras, three thousand Jiedi, eleven great stars, and eighteen Galans in two rows, and the huge golden body of the Tathagata sits upright in the center.
Looking at Chen Mang with a pious look in front of him, Tathagata felt that this Tang monk was more annoying than when he was a Jinchanzi in his previous life. He said impatiently: "Tang monk, I have the Tripitaka now, which can escape from suffering and explain the disasters. Anu, Jiaye, you two lead them to the bottom of the Zhenlou for some vegetarian food. Open the treasure pavilion and check a few volumes of my Tripitaka Sutra with him, teach him to spread the flowing land in the east, and always remember the great grace."
"Thank you Buddha."
Chen Mang gave a Buddhist ceremony with a smile on his face, then turned around and followed Anu and Jiaye to the vegetarian hall.
Looking at the table full of immortal fruits and delicacies, Anu and Jiaye started to eat them without hesitation, and asked, "Holy Monk, you can eat them too. These immortal fruits are very rare."
Seeing that they had never seen the world before, Wukong couldn't help but laugh: "Two venerables, is this errand of food so beautiful? Hurry up and finish it so that we can take our master and disciple to get the true scriptures!"
Anu and Gaye looked at each other, showed a meaningful smile, and stretched out their hands at the same time.
Chen Mang laughed, took off the rings in his hand, and said, "These rings were refined by my monk according to the method of the Buddha from the East. The method of wind, thunder, water and fire is included, and I will send them to the two venerables."
Anu, Kaye took the treasure with great joy and said with a happy look on his face: "Holy monk, follow us to the Sutra Library to obtain the scriptures!"
Chen Mang stood up with a smile and followed the two of them towards the Sutra Pavilion.
Wukong whispered disdainfully: "Master, it turns out that the Buddha's family also wants to take kickbacks, which really opens my eyes."
Chen Mang said with a smile: "You are just tangled in such small things. When you become a Buddha, you can eat it again."
Wukong looked at Chen Mang in amazement: "Is this possible?"
Chen Mang's lips curled upwards: "What's wrong with it? But don't want those rings. This treasure is only destined to Lingshan."
Wukong shivered suddenly, feeling that this Lingshan must not be able to stay. After becoming a Buddha, he should hurry back to his Huaguo Mountain and go to have fun!
After accepting Chen Mang's bribe, Ana worked very hard and introduced scriptures to the master and apprentice with spits. Soon, he put a few large boxes full of mouthfuls.
Seeing that it was almost done, Chen Mang asked Wukong and others to carry the scriptures and turned back towards the east land Datang in a cloud and mist.
A journey of 108,000 miles arrived in a blink of an eye. Seeing the familiar Chang'an City approaching, Chen Mang couldn't help but shout with great enthusiasm: "The people of the Tang Dynasty, the people of Chang'an, I, Chen, are back again!"
When the people heard the call, they all looked up and watched.
Seeing the familiar face above the cloud head, some gorgeously dressed people changed their expressions, and then they hurriedly ran away, shouting.
"No, Chen Xuanzang is back!"
"Run quickly, the Buddha can't surrender to this monk, so he will let him back and harm us!"
"Go back and report to the master and ask him to hide the money! No, tell the master Chen Xuan that he has put it back!"
Looking at the "happy" people below, Chen Mang said with relief: "Look at them, it's not in vain that I have taken great care of them for so many years."
Wukong looked confused, looked at Chen Mang, and then looked at the people on the ground who seemed to see a demon passing by. Suddenly, he felt that the name of Master, the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty, seemed to be something wrong!
