Sun Wukong said: "In these ten years, if we get the scriptures back early, can we use these ten years to do many meaningful things?

For example, to save the world, to save the world, etc.

Aren’t these all good?

Why waste more than ten years on the road? It's not cost-effective.

Although we are all monks, for us, more than ten years are just a blink of an eye.

but.

Master, think about it.

Ordinary mortals only have a lifespan of a few decades, and die at most sixty or seventy years old.

How many people will die in these ten years?

If we liberate them earlier, will they be able to escape the sea of ​​suffering and ascend to bliss sooner?"

This rhetoric.

In fact, it was Jiang Chi who gave it to Sun Wukong.

He also didn't expect that Sun Wukong would actually say it, and in front of Tang Sanzang.

Originally, I felt that walking to study the scriptures was a very meaningful thing, at least it represented sincerity and the difficulty of reading the scriptures.

But now it seems.

no the same.

Tang Sanzang's heart had begun to waver.

He thought to himself: "It stands to reason that whether it is a Bodhisattva, a Buddha, or other Arhats, etc., they can pass down scriptures and save people from the sea of ​​suffering.

After all, they have great powers.

No matter how bad it was, Tang Sanzang could still make use of his apprentice's vast supernatural powers and take the scriptures back to the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible to publicize them and save people from the sea of ​​suffering.

This is also possible.

At least it saves a lot of time. Why don't Bodhisattvas and Buddhas allow it?

It’s okay if you don’t do this yourself. Even if you ask a poor monk to go on foot to get the scriptures, how much time will it take to go back and forth?

How many people will die because they have not been enlightened? Will they be willing to do so?"

Tang Sanzang's heart began to become confused.

He didn't know what Sun Wukong was thinking, nor what Jiang Chi was thinking. He just felt that what Sun Wukong said just now seemed to make sense.

That seems to be the case.

Since he is a Bodhisattva and a Buddha, what he preaches is kindness, saving the world, and saving all sentient beings.

But.

"Obviously they have such ability, but they didn't do it. They still had to go to get it in person, as a mortal, and they had to go step by step."

suddenly.

This made Tang Sanzang feel very dissatisfied, confused, and even more depressed.

If possible, he would actually like to ask.

There is obviously a very efficient method, and there is obviously a very suitable method, so why choose another.

Wouldn’t it be nice to improve efficiency?

There's more.

Are those who were wronged because they did not wait to obtain longitude?

Is it because there is no predestined relationship, or is it because a saint once said: all saints are ants?

In the eyes of monks and the gods and Buddhas, ordinary people are just spreading Taoism and teachings, and are just ants who exist to obtain luck?

for a while.

Tang Sanzang began to think of what Jiang Chi said again.

True Buddha and False Buddha.

The so-called true Buddhas, according to Jiang Chi, are only those monks who truly do good deeds for ordinary people without asking for anything in return.

It doesn't matter whether he is a monk or not, or whether he has become a Buddha.

But that is the true Buddha.

And fake Buddha.

They are those guys who, under the banner of Buddha, have great abilities in cultivation, but they only plan this and that, and plan their merits and luck.

They were classified as false Buddhas by Jiang Chi.

this moment.

After listening to Sun Wukong's words, Tang Sanzang actually felt a little hesitant and guessing in his heart.

Does that mean, "Actually, the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas that the poor monk saw are all false Buddhas?"

He has such doubts and speculations.

But I don't dare to be completely sure of this.

Of course.

This is just a seed, or an introduction, just waiting for the day it takes root and sprouts.

Tang Sanzang is a key figure in Journey to the West.

If his heart towards the Buddha has begun to waver, then there is not much meaning in studying the Buddhist scriptures in the West.

Come back to your senses.

Tang Sanzang continued: "Amitabha, Wukong, since you want to take the poor monk as your teacher, then go west with the poor monk.

Before there is no other way, let’s go to the West to learn scriptures on foot. There will definitely be many demons and ghosts along the way. It will be much safer with you as our teacher."

Finished speaking.

Tang Sanzang then left minding his own business.

His idea is also very simple.

That is to walk first, take a look before talking, maybe you will find out later.

Jiang Chi once told him that if he was more careful, he would get the answer during the entire journey westward.

therefore.

Tang Sanzang actually wanted to find an answer.

The answer that belongs to his own heart.

"Yes, Master."

Sun Wukong nodded and finally agreed.

then.

Then we hit the road.

Along the way, their lives were pretty good.

With Sun Wukong around, Tang Sanzang was finally no longer hungry. At least he could eat some wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and he was barely full.

Finally I no longer endure the pain of hunger.

That's fine now.

He yearns for it.

I am also looking forward to it.

only.

Even with Sun Wukong around, the distance they traveled was still very short.

Tang Sanzang adhered to the principle of walking, and the horse was originally given by Tang Emperor Li Er.

Although it is a thousand-mile horse.

But it is an ordinary horse.

Now following Tang Sanzang, he has lost a lot of weight, which makes Tang Sanzang feel sorry for the horse and rarely ride it.

There is no one like him in this field.

Deep down in Jiang Chi's heart, he was actually very depressed and bitter. He said with a calm face, "I don't know when it will take me to reach Xitianling Mountain."

It’s really hard to learn from the experience.

There are obviously better choices, but we have to choose the worst path.
