Chapter 998, Shangling Mountain
Sha Wujing smiled and said, "Master, what the senior brother said is right. ”
Zhu Bajie sighed and said: "I don't know which thief is so bold to steal the Buddha's golden body at the foot of Lingshan, it's really asking for money and dying!"
Sun Wukong took out a banana, peeled it and bit it, and said casually: "Don't think that it must be done by Buddhism, outsiders can't enter Tianzhu at all, let alone steal the golden statue of the Buddha." ”
Tang Sanzang sighed and said, "In this way, Lingshan is not very peaceful! It is not as good as the little master said. He shook his head and sighed.
There was a knock on the door from outside, Sha Wujing got up and stepped forward, opened the door, and a middle-aged monk stood outside.
The middle-aged monk folded his hands and bowed eleven times and said, "Venerable Lingshan has come, and he has invited several holy monks to go with the little monks to pay respects. ”
Tang Sanzang stood up in surprise, put on his torn brocade robe, and hurriedly said: "Apprentices, put on the robe and go with the teacher to meet the Buddha." ”
"Yes~" Sun Wukong and the others giggled and began to put on their robes crookedly.
The little monk in front of the door looked at Tang Sanzang's torn robe, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice, are the monks of the Eastern Tang Dynasty so poor? Wearing a tattered robe to meet the Buddha!
After Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice finished dressing, he followed the monk through the aisle to the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
There is an old monk standing in the hall, the whole person is blooming with Buddha light outward, and a Buddha wheel behind him is sacred and inviolable.
On both sides of the road outside the main hall, there are two rows of monks kneeling respectfully.
Tang Sanzang walked into the main hall, hurriedly folded his hands and bent down, and said respectfully: "Tang monk Tang Sanzang greets His Holiness!"
The old monk nodded with a smile and said, "I am the Buddha of the King of Light in Nan Wu Bao, and I am here to guide you on the order of the Buddha." ”
Tang Sanzang said gratefully: "Thank you Buddha!"
The Treasure King Buddha stretched out his hand and said, "You come with me!"
A group of monks knelt down and bowed, walked along the avenue towards the outside of the temple, out of the temple, a cloud road composed of auspicious clouds stretched down from the sky, directly in front of the temple.
Tang Sanzang looked at Yundao, hesitated and looked at the Nanwu Treasure Building Light King Buddha.
Nan Wu Bao Guangwang Buddha said with a smile: "Lingshan is not a mortal land, it is not in the world, and it needs to go from the cloud road." ”
Tang Sanzang nodded.
Sun Wukong jumped directly on the cloud road and urged: "Gone~ Gone~ Hurry up and see the Buddha, we can also learn the scriptures and return." ”
Tang Sanzang is now well-informed, tidied up his torn robe, raised his head and walked towards the cloud road, and as soon as he took a step, he immediately fell into the clouds, with a soft feeling, as if he was stepping on a quilt.
Nan Wubao Guangwang Buddha smiled slightly and said, "Marshal, please roll the blind~"
Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing smiled, and they all walked over.
A group of people walked on the cloud road, surrounded by clouds and mist, and looked down at the lofty mountains and mountains, and the houses were continuous.
After walking for a while, a series of mountains appeared in the sky ahead, blooming with golden light in the sun, like a mirage.
Nan Wu Bao Guangwang Buddha pointed ahead and said: "Holy monk, you see, there is auspicious light in that half of the sky, and the five colors of Rui Hui are thousands of heavy, and it is the holy realm of the Buddha of the Vulture Peak. ”
Tang Sanzang folded his hands and knelt on the ground.
Zhu Bajie smiled and said: "Master, it's not time to worship yet! As the saying goes, there is still no distance from the holy land of Mana Ling Mountain in Wangshan, and you don't know how many miles you have to kowtow to the mountain here!"
Tang Sanzang stood up and said: "I believe in Buddhism all my life as a teacher, but now I am at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, how can I not worship?!"
The Treasure King Buddha said, "Let's keep walking!"
The group walked for a long time, and finally ascended to the Lingshan Holy Realm, and then went forward to a river blocking the way, and the living water in the river was flowing endlessly, and only a mellow single-plank bridge crossed the river.
Sun Wukong jumped on the single-plank bridge and said with a smile: "Little monk, let's go!"
Tang Sanzang shook his head again and again, cringed and said: "You are all powerful people, you can cross this bridge, how can you walk over it as a teacher and a mortal?"
Sun Wukong laughed and said: "Walk! Walk first, first step with the left foot, then step with the right foot, step by step will naturally pass." ”
Tang Sanzang shook his head and said dissatisfiedly: "You monkey is framing me again." ”
Tang Sanzang looked at the treasure building Guangwang Buddha and said, "Buddha!
The Buddha of the Treasure Building Light nodded with a smile and said, "Yes!" Stretched out his hand and pointed to the side, and said with a smile: "Look, there is a boat there." ”
The figure of the Treasure King Buddha appeared in the cabin in a flash, and said, "Holy monk, how about the poor monk come to cross the river for you?"
Tang Sanzang hurriedly walked over and said with a smile: "Amitabha Buddha ~ Thank you Buddha." ”
When I walked to the side of the boat, I was about to step in, and suddenly found that the boat was a bottomless boat, and the Buddha of the Treasure King Guangwang was standing on the water.
Tang Sanzang was first shocked in his heart, and then a thought came to his mind, first the single-plank bridge and then the bottomless boat, is this the Buddha testing me? The poor monk of the single-plank bridge does not dare to walk, and the bottomless boat does not dare to sit again, is it not possible to pass the Buddha's test, and the scriptures cannot be obtained?
Tang Sanzang's heart was crossed, just die! Gritted his teeth, he walked directly towards the bottomless boat.
The Treasure Building Light King Buddha glanced at Tang Sanzang in surprise, and he was still a little bold, he thought he was going to persuade him with good words!
Tang Sanzang walked into the bottomless boat's heart and immediately settled down, sure enough, it was a test, and the poor monk did not fall.
Zhu Bajie smiled and said, "Master, I'll take a boat with you, old pig!"
Sha Wujing carried the burden and said with a smile: "I'll come too~"
The little white dragon who recovered his body stood beside him, and said with a smile: "Bottomless boat, I haven't been on it before, let's go together!"
Tang Sanzang, Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie, and Xiaobailong took a bottomless boat, Sun Wukong walked on a single-plank bridge, and the group went to the opposite bank.
Walking into the river, Tang Sanzang pointed to the back and exclaimed, "That...... What's that?"
Several people turned their heads to look, only to see a Tang Sanzang, a Zhu Bajie, a Sha Wujing, a little white dragon, and a Monkey King in Hanoi drifting with the tide like a dead corpse.
Zhu Bajie laughed and said, "Master, don't be afraid! That's you in the red dust." ”
Sun Wukong stood on the single-plank bridge and shouted happily: "Interesting and interesting~ Lingshan and my old grandson have been here a few times, but this Lingyundu is the first time to come, and it is really interesting." ”
Sha Wujing smiled: "That's me~"
The little white dragon pointed to the river and smiled, "That's me." ”
The Buddha of the Treasure King of Light sang on the boat: "Get rid of the flesh and bones of the fetus, and love each other is the original god." Today, he became a Buddha and washed away the dust of the year. ”
Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together and recited happily: "Amitabha~"
The ferry docked steadily on the bank of the river, and Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice got off the boat.
