Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice left Lingshan and returned to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the road was extremely smooth, and the four masters and apprentices were all in high spirits.

It's just that when passing by the Tongtian River, he encountered a little episode, so Tang Sanzang used a punch to solve an old turtle who was narrow-minded and intended to take revenge. After staying in Chenjiazhuang not far away for two days, I went all the way back to Dongtu Datang.

But it is said that before the four masters and apprentices returned to the Tang Dynasty, there was a strange collision in Chang'an City, although there was no turmoil, but the branches of the pine trees in the city were all facing east.

Seeing this situation, the officials of the Great Tang Qin Heavenly Prison hurriedly came to report, it turned out that before Tang Sanzang went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, he had left a message: After I go, it will be three or five years, or six or seven years. But if the branches of the pine tree go east, I will return.

When Tang Taizong learned of this, he panicked and led the officials of the court and China to greet him.

The four masters and apprentices immediately pressed the clouds, Bajie led the horse, the sand monk carried the burden, and Sun Wukong led Tang Sanzang to Tang Taizong.

The two were very happy to see each other, Tang Sanzang introduced three apprentices to Tang Taizong in turn, Taizong saw that the three of them were extraordinary, and heard about the demon on the way, and was even more happy.

It was that: back then, the Qing banquet was happy and peaceful, and the civil and military were handsome and handsome. The monks in the water and land field perform the law, and the lord of the Jinluan Hall sends the Qing. Guan Wen gave Tang Sanzang, and the reason for the scriptures was matched with five elements. Cultivating the evil demons and destroying them, the success of Jin Xi went to Beijing.

Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice entered the court with Taizong, delivered the scriptures, told the things along the way, and handed over the customs clearance documents.

After the banquet was held, a water and land conference was held in Chang'an City.

This time, Tang Sanzang still gave a speech as the chief master, but what he said and talked about was not the so-called Mahayana Buddhism, but the Hinayana Buddhism that he had learned at the beginning.

But the people from all over the world listened to it with relish, and nodded their heads frequently in praise.

……

At the same time, inside the Great Thunder Sound Temple.

The dust has settled on the great cause of Journey to the West, and the Buddhas who should be rejoicing are dead at the moment.

From time to time, King Kong sent a message, walked up to the main hall, and reported all the matters after Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice left Lingshan.

"The land and water conference, has it ever been held successfully?"

Rulai said in a deep voice.

"Enlighten my Buddha, everything is normal, but it's just ......"

King Kong, who was delivering the message, frowned slightly, and stopped talking.

If your eyes sank,

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

King Kong nodded,

"Buddha, although Tang Sanzang retrieved the scriptures of my Mahayana Buddhism, what he preached at the water and land conference is still Hinayana Buddhism......"

As soon as these words came out, a strange look flashed in Rulai's eyes.

He pondered for a long time, and finally showed a wry smile,

"Yes, Hinayana Buddhism can also talk about the heavens, the earth, and the souls of the dead......"

"Well, it doesn't matter what he says, you should set off immediately, and within three days, you will bring them back and hold the final consecration."

"When they are crowned Buddha, I will be a Western Buddhist, and I will be considered to be truly meritorious."

Rulai waved his hand and commanded.

The messenger of King Kong nodded, and the Eight Great King Kongs of Buddhism set off immediately.

After King Kong left, Rulai's expression was solemn, and the whole person fell into deep thought.

"Hinayana Buddhism ......"

"How many ...... did this seat give up in order to be able to achieve sanctification?"

……

On this day, above Chang'an City, as soon as the water and land conference ended, auspicious clouds suddenly rose above the sky, and a burst of fragrant wind was set off.

After a vision, the Eight Great King Kongs appeared above the clouds, releasing thousands of Buddha's light, and said loudly: "Tang Sanzang, put down the scriptures and go west with me!" ”

Tang Sanzang looked up, smiled, and said, "The poor monk is very good here, why did he go west?" ”

When the Eight King Kongs heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and continued: "Since I should have gone to the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain, I will pay homage to my Buddha, seal the Zen Buddha position, and be promoted to a great position. ”

"Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, Sha Wujing. After going through a lot of hardships, you and the other four people arrived at the West Tianling Mountain, sought the true scriptures, and passed them back to the Eastern Tang Dynasty to educate the people, which is an immeasurable merit. Isn't this done so that you can cleanse yourself of your sins and attain the Buddhahood? ”

King Kong spoke, and the sound was like a bell.

But when the four masters and apprentices heard this, they smiled disdainfully.

Although he is the ancestor of all Buddhas, he is not the Buddha in the minds of poor monks. Since the Buddha is in my heart, why should I move and go to the West Tianling Mountain to worship a fake Buddha? ”

"Self-sin, hehe, people are not sages, who can do nothing. Even saints can make mistakes, how can ordinary people have no time in their lives? ”

"The great office in your mouth is nothing but a layer of gilded skin, no matter how gorgeous the decoration is, the sins that you should have are still possessed."

"The poor monks and apprentices have gone through disasters and walked the road to the west, worshipping the Buddha in their hearts. Although I seek the true scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism, I still insist on Hinayana Buddhism in my heart. ”

"It is the Bodhi that has the fruit of proof, and today I know that I am me."

Tang Sanzang said, his eyes slightly closed, and his hands folded.

In an instant, the sky appeared with divine light, and the ground surged with golden lotus.

Between heaven and earth, the Buddha's light is surging like a vast ocean, and a huge Buddha's shadow looms in the Buddha's light.

Seeing this, the Eight Great King Kongs looked shocked and showed surprise.

This is a Buddha they have never seen before, although it is clearly displayed in front of their eyes, but no matter what, they can't remember the specific appearance of this Buddha.

"Could this be the legendary Buddha ......?"

A King Kong had a dry mouth and was shocked in his heart.

The Buddha has no appearance, and the golden body without appearance is the highest state of the Buddha's golden body.

But there is no phase dharma body, but it is just a legend, even if it is the second interpretation of the West, it has never reached the realm.

"This Tang Sanzang has comprehended the supreme impotence and condensed the phaseless dharma body?"

One King Kong exclaimed.

It's simply not possible!

When this faceless Buddha appeared, the people in Chang'an City were all shocked and wanted to bow down to it.

However, they were surprised to find that they could not kneel down no matter what.

"The Buddha is born from the heart, and the Buddha is in the heart. As long as there is a Buddha in the heart, everyone is their own Buddha. ”

"The Buddha has no appearance, how can he be molded with a golden body. It is better to worship the puppet made of gold and silver than to ask the heart in everything. ”

"The poor monk is only his own Buddha, not your Buddha, what is the use of kneeling."

At that moment, Tang Sanzang's body had already merged into the phaseless body.

The magnificent sound, like thunder rolling in the sky, swept through half of the Nanzhan Continent.

The light of the Buddha shines brightly, and under the great work of Sanskrit, many pious Buddhas can immediately break the shackles and become enlightened Buddhas.

At that moment, a dragon talisman suddenly appeared, and instantly merged into Tang Sanzang's body.

His momentum began to climb.

In the next moment, Tang Sanzang's eyes froze, looking down below, and said loudly:

"Theravada Buddhism is subtle and profound, and it should not be lost."

"After walking the road to the west, the demons in my heart are all gone, and the poor monk is a Buddha."

"The poor monk is the self-proclaimed great post and the Buddha, the Buddha of immeasurable merit, and the ancestor of the Ten Thousand Buddhas of Theravada Buddhism!"

As the words fell, a golden light fell from the sky and converged into Tang Sanzang's eyebrows.

Seeing this scene, the Eight Great King Kongs were shocked, this Heavenly Dao actually recognized Tang Sanzang's canonization!

The next moment, Tang Sanzang's eyes turned,

"Sun Xingzhi, come forward and listen to the seal!"
