Chapter 428 I’m obviously just a novice
Xuanzang knew what mission he was carrying and moved forward unswervingly towards his goal.
This time he returned to Jinshan Temple just to find a few suitable monks to accompany him to accomplish that great goal.
Go west and learn scriptures.
This matter is also very important to the Tang royal family, so Xuanzang is now the imperial brother, named Tang Xuanzang, and can also be called Tang Sanzang.
Master Tripitaka is the highest title for monks today. Proficiency in various sects and classics is only the most basic requirement. Others, such as the precepts upheld, contributions to Buddhism, etc., have certain standards.
Therefore, his arrival was no less than an earthquake for Jinshan Temple.
However, what everyone did not expect was that Amber, who had just officially ordained and became a monk, would be caught in sight and praised for his deep wisdom.
This shocked many people.
"Zhen Ding, it's a long way to go. I've specially prepared a few pairs of shoes for you. Remember to bring them with you, as well as these sets of monk's robes. If they're damaged, use a needle and thread to mend them. I'll also give you some silk cloth. get ready."
Xuan Jing babbled while packing her bags, "You are a smart person. I'm not worried, but I am afraid of accidents."
Thinking of this, his expression became a little gloomy, "There is nothing we can do."
"Yes, there is nothing we can do..."
Amber has clearly refused several times, but she has not used it at all, and even alerted the host later.
The eighty-year-old monk grabbed him and sprayed him with spittle for half an hour. Xiaozhi responded with emotion and reason, which was considered a sincere words.
This is what Xuanzang ordered, and it must be Amber, otherwise he would probably fall in love with someone else.
As for violent resistance and so on...
Amber can guarantee that as long as Xuanzang is there, the sky will be filled with gods and Buddhas, the eye of the storm, and a complete big light bulb.
If this is taken into consideration, then what's the point?
That's all, it's just a walk, there are still those beautiful monsters anyway.
When you meet someone halfway, it's not impossible to have a secular heart and return to secular life on the spot.
Maybe we can even drag our second senior brother into the water.
"Be careful on the road."
Xuan Jing patted him on the shoulder, saluted and packed up, waiting for Xuanzang to finish his work and hit the road.
In fact, he didn't wait long. The great master, who had already been impatient to go west, chose four more monks in Jinshan Temple and hurried down the mountain.
…
…
Half a month later.
Outside Chang'an City.
Xuanzang, who had just bid farewell to Li Er, rode the divine white horse and took four monks and Amber up the official road.
"Master, where are we going?"
Amber couldn't keep her mouth shut, and because she was young, she only had to recite her own salutes, which made her look very relaxed.
The other four were in dire straits, carrying almost a hundred kilograms of stuff under their poles.
"Go west."
Xuanzang had the confidence to dare to take on this matter. Not to mention a wilderness survival master, he was definitely an expert.
If it was really like what Amber saw on TV in her previous life, she might not even be able to leave the Tang Dynasty.
The group of people walked like this for more than half a month before they almost left the border of Chang'an.
At this time, he had already deviated from the official road and started to drill into the deep mountains and old forests.
One of the four monks was unlucky and was bitten on the leg by a five-step snake and died on the spot.
So the burden was given to Amber.
Take your pick. Anyway, this weight is basically nothing to him.
However, misfortunes never come singly. Just a few days later, another monk was licked on the face by a tiger. When he was found, the flesh on his body was all stretched.
So the last two monks were naturally afraid. That night, they took out knives they got from nowhere and threatened Xuanzang to hand over the money.
It's a pity that they made the wrong calculation. This person is really penniless.
If you don’t dare to kill, what else can you do? Just run.
It's just that when these two people left, they definitely shouldn't try to steal Amber's luggage.
Then there were two more corpses stuck together and you couldn't tell them apart.
In the night, the sound of burning firewood was particularly harsh.
Amber helplessly dug aside, "After all, we are in the same class. You are unkind, but I cannot be unjust. Don't be a monk in your next life. I will be nothing but bright-minded."
"Monks are so compassionate, why do you bother to kill them?"
Xuanzang still had a bit of fear on his face. He had just watched An Bo use his pole-like arm to grab the legs of two monks and slam them together.
"Mage, you don't know this right now."
Amber was almost stifled, she just opened her mouth and said, "I am trying to cut off their karma so that they will not continue to do evil and end up in the eighteenth level of hell after death.
Look at how good things are now. All the debts they have are blamed on me. They have nothing to do and they have to thank me. "
"Here's nonsense!"
When Xuanzang heard what he said, he immediately lost his fear. After all, this was his professional field. "How do you know they will commit sinful karma in the future? Even if they do, they should focus on enlightenment and use Buddhism to overcome them." Get out of the sea of misery instead of resorting to this cruel method.”
"Why didn't I cross?"
Amber's face was full of grievances, "The scriptures say that there are eight sufferings in the world: birth, old age, illness, death, not being able to get what you want, meeting resentments and hatreds, separation from love, and the five yin excesses, and the roots of all these are caused by the physical body.
Look, now that they have separated from the physical body, they may have been led by Buddha to the Western Heaven to enjoy bliss. "
Xuanzang was very angry and said, "You are misinterpreting the meaning of the scriptures. There are thousands of Buddhist methods that I practice, but none of them can be separated from the word "good". How can you be called good if you harm people's lives!"
Seeing that he was serious, Amber quickly said: "Ah, yes, yes, what you said is right, kid, I'm just telling you nonsense, but it's not my fault, it's because they had evil thoughts and I was forced to fight back.
Aren’t you making up for your mistakes now? "
He was very fast, and he dug the hole in a short time, then sent two more corpses in and filled it with soil.
"Two senior brothers, have a safe journey."
Amber knew how to recite the Purana, so she actually ran errands and sat down to start reciting the sutras.
Xuanzang, who originally understood anger, saw this and no longer dwelled on what happened before, and started to get over it together.
After a while, he finished reading the scriptures and looked at Amber with complicated eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Amber looked around at herself, "Is there mud on my face?"
"No."
Xuanzang said softly: "Zhending, you have followed me all the way. It is not until today that I have seen your true temperament. Putting aside the good and bad qualities for now, are you willing to worship me as your teacher?"
At this moment, Amber's whole body was covered with hair, as if he had encountered some savage beast.
He had a hunch that if he gave a bad answer, something extremely terrible might happen.
So, do you want to agree?
Of course not!
Amber doesn't want to be a monk for the rest of her life.
However, the words that came out of his mouth were, "Master, please bow to me, my disciple!"
Damn it! ? (sound)
