Chapter 242 The Poor Monk Comes From Jinshan Temple, the Way of Ghosts and Immortals? !
The silver moon shines and stars fill the sky.
The autumn night was slightly chilly, so the cassock on my body gave me a little warmth.
Behind him, the white horse lay on its side, its soft hair warmer than the most comfortable bedding.
"Hulu~"
There were waves of loud snoring not far away.
"This stupid pig, how can he sleep now even if he sleeps during the day?" A monkey with a furry face and a thunderous mouth laughed and cursed beside him.
Next to the monkey was a somewhat honest monk. The monk just sat there quietly and did not participate in the discussion.
Su Mo was silent.
Such a familiar scene, if I didn't know where I was this time, my life would be in vain.
Journey to the West?
Back then, I had a deep love affair with the toilet seat, and there was also a certain TV series with the name "Little Swallow", but I couldn't remember it at all. They were bombarded in turn.
Even if you don't remember some plots deliberately, they are still engraved in your mind.
After going to school, Su Mo actually often thought about the era when entertainment was scarce.
If all these damn TV series were replaced with three-year college entrance examination and five-year simulated explanation test questions.
By the way, is it possible to improve each student's performance by one or two levels?
As Su Mo recalled, memories continued to pour into his mind.
His predecessor was born in Jinshan Temple, a Buddhist temple in the Tang Dynasty, in Nanzhan Buzhou.
Um?
Jinshan Temple?
Has Dawei Tianlong become the disciple of a poor monk?
Su Mo's expression was a little strange, but he didn't care to continue thinking, but continued to think.
My predecessor has been a precocious person since he was a child. For example, when his mother threw him into a barrel and floated away, his predecessor really wanted to say something to his biological mother at that time.
I thank you!
How can a newborn baby survive if it floats downstream on a barrel?
You might as well just take the barrel back and let the poor monk sink into the river!
Moreover, are you sure that you have been pregnant for so long that the poor stepfather can't tell?
Maybe the poor monk would have survived if he had not been thrown into the tub, but if he had been thrown into it, he would have narrowly escaped death.
Facts have proved that the predecessor was very lucky. Not long after he drifted, he saw three great monks who had been waiting for a long time on the edge of the river. The three great monks were very excited and took the predecessor into Jinshan Temple.
For a long time from then on, I knew that I had the important responsibility of learning from the scriptures, but my predecessor seemed to have always been a restless person.
He even wanted to escape from Jinshan Temple for a while, but after he met a big demon when he went down the mountain one time, his predecessor seemed to have figured it out and completely settled down.
By the way, the big demon chased his predecessor for a long time but failed to catch him. Finally, when he was about to catch him, one of his predecessor's masters descended from the sky and captured him.
However, under the "enthusiastic" education of several elders of Jinshan Temple, he studied scriptures from a young age and became an enlightened monk. Later, he used Buddhism to defend the Pure Land Sect without encountering any opponents.
In my memory, after the predecessor's Buddhist teachings became more and more sophisticated, the three elders also had the idea of building momentum for the predecessor.
After all, it’s time to learn from the West!
This represents the spread of Buddhism to the east, and it can only be carried out with the permission of the emperor of Nanzhan Buzhou.
Therefore, it is natural to have a sense of presence in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, Li Shimin.
In fact, from Su Mo's current perspective, whether it is Wei Zheng slaying the dragon, or the final sermon on water and land, or even Guanyin appearing as Xuanzang's platform, it is all a kind of momentum building.
Li Shimin may not want Buddhism to spread eastward. After all, Li Tang regarded Lao Tzu as his ancestor, how could Buddhism flourish?
Isn’t this a case of forgetting one’s ancestors by counting classics~
But even if Li Er was unwilling, he seemed quite powerless under the impact of the rolling momentum.
Even if he is the emperor of a country.
Then, the predecessor was also a capable person.
On a trip down the mountain, I hooked up with Li Er's sister, Princess Faang Ling. Well, although they didn't make the last move, they did a lot of things with each other.
Is it so exciting?
By the way, Princess Fangling was Li Er's sister, and she later hooked up with her nephew. When her predecessor intervened, Fangling had not hooked up with his nephew yet.
But even for such a moment, Su Mo was silent, and he had some doubts about whether his predecessor was a serious monk.
This cliffhanger is not a serious world of Journey to the West!
Journey to the West is a serious journey to the world, but the poor monk is so serious!
Then he quietly raised a pot of psychic orchids in the temple. After the orchid turned into a demon, he looked for opportunities to push down his predecessor all day long. However, his predecessor still showed a "poor monk has no power to restrain a chicken". If the donor wanted to If you use strong words, the poor monk seems unable to resist.
Since then, he has been looking for opportunities to ruin his reputation.
Before, I had only one thought in my mind: I would fight to death without learning from it!
Damn~
It was outrageous, but Su Mo understood his predecessor's feelings deeply.
How is Xuanzang described in the book?
The Yuanyang has not been released, and there are always four levels of merit, five directions, six Dingliujia, and guardian Jialan around to protect the body. It is said to be protecting the body, but it is more like surveillance.
Yuanyang has not leaked~
What the heck, he didn’t even dream about that once at night. How did this stifle the child?
In the memory of my predecessor, all the dogs in Jinshan Temple were male. If the roosters they raised fell in love, they would be tied back and prepared for castration.
Su Mo
Su Mo had some serious doubts about his predecessor's mental state. Who would be a serious person to check whether the dog was male or female?
Take a deep breath.
Unfortunately, my predecessor had already reached this level. Fortunately, those dogs were all male, at least they wouldn't feel so panicked after I arrived.
Su Mo also roughly understood the current situation, and he seemed to have become Xuanzang himself in "Journey to the West".
But this Xuanzang was not a serious monk and did not want to learn Buddhist scriptures.
But his arms couldn't hold his thighs. After all these years, Xuanzang still went to Xitian Lingshan to learn Buddhist scriptures and worship Buddha according to his original plan.
Now all three apprentices have been accepted!
"Wukong~"
Xuanzang spoke. Now that he had determined his current position, Xuanzang calmed down.
Journey to the West!
Even if it's not a mythical world, just the most ordinary small world, it still has a lot of value.
The most important thing is that if I remember correctly, Journey to the West is also divided into five immortals based on heaven, earth, people, gods and ghosts. Maybe there may be something in common for me to refer to.
"Bald man, why are you calling me Lao Sun?"
The monkey sneered.
Xuanzang
Sure enough, this is not a serious journey to the west. Why did the monkey call him Baldy in front of the poor monk?
Xuanzang was silent and then looked at the monkey.
"Is your butt red?"
"Bald Donkey, I will beat your grandson to death today."
Suddenly, the two monsters, one sleeping and the other sitting quietly, stopped fighting and looked at the scene with sneers.
It seems that this scene has long been used to strange things.
"Come here and see if the poor monk can't curse you to death!"
The monkey shriveled up in an instant, but his eyes looked at Xuanzang with a strong murderous intent, and Xuanzang was not annoyed at all.
In my memory, this scene has happened more than once, but every time when the tight curse is mentioned, the monkey always wilts immediately.
Although there seems to be no tightening spell in the memory of the predecessor.
The same scene made the remaining two monsters somewhat uninterested. They seemed to be expecting the monkey to really beat Xuanzang to death.
"Wuneng, the poor monk is hungry."
"When you are hungry, look for leaves to eat. Don't disturb the old pig while I sleep."
"The poor monk doesn't want to eat leaves, the poor monk wants to eat meat."
The next moment, Zhu Bajie, who was still rolling over and preparing to sleep, suddenly stood up. He stared at Xuanzang with a pig face, his eyes the size of copper bells were thickly bloodshot, and his nose was constantly spraying thick liquid. Mist-like heat.
The look in his eyes made Xuanzang a little panicked, but he still looked at Zhu Bajie with a smile.
"I'm going to beg for alms!"
After a long time, Zhu Bajie lowered his head, picked up the rake, and walked towards the mountain stream in the distance. However, his voice became much lower for a moment, with a little trace of sadness.
"Wu Jing~"
"Master!"
Sha Wujing, who was originally sitting upright, stood upright in excitement. It was completely different from his previous uncle-like posture. Xuanzang could even faintly see that Sha Wujing seemed to be trembling.
"Where is the front?"
Xuanzang asked.
"Master, this place is called Pansiling, and the mountain is a little uneven."
Sha Wujing spoke quickly, as if he was afraid that Xuanzang would be dissatisfied with his slow answer.
"Since it's not peaceful, go and investigate."
Xuanzang spoke, and Sha Wujing stood up quickly, just picked up the suitcase and left, and soon disappeared into the night without looking back.
Do you still need to salute while exploring the road?
Looking at Sha Wujing leaving, Xuanzang narrowed his eyes with the same smile on his face.
This world is weird!
First of all, Xuanzang didn't want to learn Buddhist scriptures. Secondly, Zhu Bajie's expression when he heard that he wanted to eat meat, and Sha Wujing had to carry his luggage even when he was exploring the road. If so many weird things happened together, it probably wasn't his alone. Problem.
Xuanzang turned to look at Sun Wukong, who stood up.
I don't know when the golden cudgel was already in his hand, and a pair of eyes stared at him with golden light.
Su Mo didn't panic and looked straight at Sun Wukong.
"Wukong?"
The monkey didn't move, still staring at Su Mo.
"Wukong, please ignore me~"
"You damn bald man, can you please stop getting sick!"
The monkey cursed, and the golden cudgel he was holding tightly loosened slightly, as if he was relieved.
"The poor monk is not sick."
"That's right, bald man, you only get sick when you see your old friends."
"The poor monk's old friend?"
"You don't want to know whose."
Monkey sneered. He had never seen such a monk in his life. The key is that his old friends are really good at fighting.
"The poor monk wants to ask you a few questions."
The monkey's body stiffened, and a look of disgust and 'resignation' flashed across his face unconsciously.
"explain!"
He almost squeezed out this word through his teeth. Every syllable change reflected that the monkey didn't want to answer the question, but he still answered it.
The corners of Su Mo's mouth curved slightly.
The world is becoming more and more interesting.
Zhu Bajie was very scared and unhappy when he said he wanted to eat meat, but he still went to beg for alms, even though he was very sleepy and wanted to sleep.
Sha Wujing could obviously refuse to explore the route, or put down his luggage to explore the route, but he still did so.
It was obvious that Sun Wukong didn't want to answer his own question, but after he asked the question, the other party still answered it.
There seems to be some rules that are binding everyone, forcing everyone to do certain things according to certain rules, like puppets on strings.
Just like an NPC in an online game.
"How are you immortals divided into realms of cultivation?"
Su Mo spoke.
Although he once used corpses to dismantle immortals and prove himself as immortals, and he even had many cultivation rules from a high position, they were nothing to him anymore.
but--
I am just a wild man, and the immortals in other worlds may not be like me.
At least Su Mo has never heard of someone's ability to influence various timelines immediately after becoming a Taoist Immortal.
This is beyond the level of normal immortals, so Su Mo never thinks that immortals in other worlds are the same as himself.
But by drawing parallels, you might be able to give yourself some different inspirations.
"Oh, there is no boundary."
Monkey breathed a sigh of relief, seeming to relax a little after Su Mo asked this question.
"There are several types of immortals in this world, one of which is the heavenly immortal.
They are nominally higher than other immortals, but at best they are just immortals who have been entrusted by heaven. They obey the orders of heaven and make clouds and rain to accumulate merit and benefit the people.
It does have some reputation. "
Although the monkey disdained the immortals, he also expressed admiration in his tone.
"Below the Heavenly Immortals are the Immortals. The Immortals refine the Cave Heaven Blessed Land and use the Cave Heaven Blessed Land to warm their bodies. The Cave Heaven Immortal Gods are immortal, but they are also controlled by the Cave Heaven Blessed Land. Most of those earth and mountain gods are in this state."
Monkey explained.
The strength of the gods' magic power seemed to be affected by the Cave Heaven Paradise. Su Mo nodded secretly.
The idea of competing for the ‘Taiyi’ divine fruition position is somewhat similar to his own.
It's just that ordinary gods refine Cave Heaven and Paradise, but they refine Jiuzhou Heaven and Earth, and they even want to spread their authority to the universe.
"Below the gods are the earthly immortals. The earthly immortals have no basis for freedom. They only need to overcome three disasters and nine disasters every once in a while to be free in the three realms."
The monkey is quite yearning for it.
To put it simply, most other immortals do not need to survive tribulations, but earth immortals need to constantly cope with tribulations.
If one successfully overcomes the catastrophe, one's physical strength will increase greatly, and one's lifespan will be endless. If one cannot overcome the catastrophe, one's body will die immediately, and one's soul will disappear and become ashes.
"The last kind is called Human Immortal. These people are all human magicians. They don't cultivate the Dao, but they can also die in peace."
Su Mo nodded, but the next moment Su Mo's expression paused, with a puzzled look on his face.
"The last one?"
The monkey nodded and stared into Su Mo's eyes.
This bald man talked too much today.
"But I remember that heaven and earth are divided into five immortals, and the last one is obviously——"
"Roar~"
The next moment, the monkey rushed towards Su Mo and covered Su Mo's mouth with a pair of monkey-haired hands.
A pair of eyes looked towards the sky in horror.
"Bald man, are you crazy? How dare you mention that word?!"
Su Mo was stunned.
That word cannot be mentioned? !
