The Way of Rebirth

The little white dragon was recuperating in Yingchou Stream. Suddenly he heard someone calling his name. He immediately put his head out and looked at the cliff. He saw a figure standing on the cliff. Upon closer inspection, the figure turned out to be the one who accompanied Guanyin Bodhisattva in the past.

The Hui'an envoy who went to the Tang Dynasty in the East knew that Guanyin Bodhisattva from Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea had arrived. He immediately took off from Yingchou Stream, transformed into a human form and landed in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Ao Yu, you were the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea. Because you were young and ignorant, you set fire to the pearl of the palace. The Dragon King of the West Sea reported you to heaven for the crime of disobedience. Emperor Haotian punished you by hanging in the air and whipping you three hundred times a day.

, you will be tortured after the moon is full. When the poor monk traveled from the west to the east of the Tang Dynasty, he once inspired you to worship in my empty door and help you to learn Buddhist scriptures in the future. How come you have been blocking the Tang Tripitaka for so long?" Guanyin Great Master

The scholar asked aloud.

"Reporting to the Bodhisattva, the little white dragon has been waiting here for a long time for the pilgrims who came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty to seek Buddhist scriptures. Moreover, they did not kill anyone among them. It is a pity that even after waiting for a long time, they did not see the pilgrims arrive.

For a few days, the disciples were so hungry that they went out to look for food. They ate a white horse belonging to the monk, but were beaten severely by the monkey. They never heard them talking about going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures." Xiao Bailong knelt before him and kowtowed.

"That's it." After hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva turned to look at Sun Wukong and sighed, "You monkey must have an impatient personality. After being attacked by Ao Yu, you wanted to kill him before guarding him, but you don't want to stop here."

After saying that, he turned around and said to Tang Sanzang: "Tang Sanzang, you now have resentment towards the third prince of Xihai, and the poor monk also knows it, but after all, Ao Yu is destined to be your disciple by heaven. Since you have lingering fears, the poor monk will make the decision.

, punish him and turn him into a white dragon horse, so as to give you a kick. I wish you go to the West in exchange for the loss of your white horse."

"Disciple, thank you Bodhisattva." Tang Sanzang looked a little better after hearing the words of Guanyin Bodhisattva. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed and saluted. Then he asked Master Guanyin, "Previously, a black-robed Taoist came to fight with Wukong, but watching him

The behavior does not seem to be directed at the poor monk, so the poor monk wants to ask Master Guanyin, who is this black-robed Taoist?"

"Huh? How come the poor monk didn't hear this from Sun Wukong?" Guanyin Bodhisattva's face changed slightly when he heard this, and turned to look at Sun Wukong, "Why did you, a monkey, never tell me that this happened?

I know, you have fought with that black-robed Taoist, have you ever seen how strong he is?"

"This black-robed Taoist is familiar with Little White Dragon. I thought that Guanyin Bodhisattva must know that man's magic power, so I didn't say anything to the Bodhisattva. I just looked at the black-robed Taoist with my fiery eyes.

There is evil energy soaring to the sky. From what he said, it seems that the evil energy from the innate body has taken the form. It is not an ordinary monster, and its methods are much more powerful than my old grandson." Seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva looking at him, Sun Wukong couldn't help scratching his head and replied.

"What?" Guanyin Bodhisattva's face changed greatly when he heard this, and then he frowned, "It turned out to be the innate evil energy that came out in the form? Most of these heelers are masters from ancient times. You monkey has already stepped into the realm of Daluo Jinxian.

At the peak level, only those at the quasi-sage level can suppress you. In this case, this black-robed Taoist should be a quasi-sage level master. Even a poor Taoist is a bit tricky to fight against. But why didn't he hurt Tang Sanzang?

What?" Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva couldn't help but come here with a headache. After all, going west to obtain Buddhist scriptures is related to the great prosperity of Western Buddhism. Originally, according to Sakyamuni Buddha's budget, Taoism may not easily allow Western Buddhism to spread eastward, but it will not allow it to spread eastward.

To come up with such a powerful killer weapon, it was obvious that this quasi-sage level master also joined in, which was beyond the expectations of Sakyamuni Buddha.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva, when the disciple was punished by the Jade Emperor in the Yingchou Stream, the black-robed Taoist had not yet come. He only came a few days after the Bodhisattva enlightened the disciple. At that time, the disciple fought with him for a while.

He killed him instantly with one move, but he said that he would not kill any more after leaving the disciples, so he did not kill the disciples. He also blocked some monsters that came to fight for the Snake Pan Mountain on his behalf several times, so the disciples felt that

This black-robed Taoist is not a vicious person, so I interacted with him several times and became familiar with him." When Xiao Bailong heard that Guanyin Bodhisattva looked a little unhappy, he immediately explained...

"That means you don't know the details of this black-robed Taoist?" Guanyin Bodhisattva asked aloud after hearing Xiao Bailong's words. His right hand had been calculating for a long time. Unfortunately, Guanyin Bodhisattva is not a quasi-sage master after all. Although he relies on his own

His Taoist skills and magic weapons can also compete with ordinary early stage quasi-sage masters by a 50-50 margin, but it is obvious that the black-robed Taoist transformed by the innate evil energy is simply not what Guanyin Bodhisattva's current strength can predict.

"I have never seen it, but I only know that this black-robed Taoist has very high magic power and a very weird personality. Sometimes he seems impatient, sometimes he is very calm. The disciple went to ask him for help, but it was because Sun Dasheng was so powerful that the disciple knew he was no match.

With no choice but to ask for help, the black-robed Taoist refused to come out to fight at first, but after hearing that the one who injured his disciple was Monkey King, the Monkey King, he came out to fight. According to what he said, he seemed to want to verify something.

"What's going on?" Xiao Bailong said immediately.

"What does it prove?" Guanyin Bodhisattva was a little strange when he heard this. Then he looked at Sun Wukong and saw that Sun Wukong was scratching his head and cheeks, looking very impatient. He shook his head and said to Tang Sanzang, "Since this black-robed Taoist has not done anything before,

To hurt you, I must be specifically targeting Sun Wukong. You can rest assured that it is a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from Leiyin Temple in Lingshan Mountain in the west, and the poor monk will not refuse to save you. But you must strengthen your belief and don't do anything.

The distracting thoughts in my heart annoy the demons in my heart." After saying this, Guanyin Bodhisattva stretched out his right finger and turned the little white dragon into a white dragon horse. Then he left on the clouds and headed straight to Leiyin Temple in Lingshan Mountain in the west.

"Master, now that this is over, we should set off to the west." Seeing the Bodhisattva leaving, Sun Wukong turned around and said to Tang Sanzang. Seeing Tang Sanzang clasping his hands and reciting the Heart Sutra silently, he had no choice but to stand aside and wait. Soon Tang Sanzang was already there

After reciting the Buddhist scriptures silently, he stood up and ordered Sun Wukong to bury the body of the woman killed by Xiao Bailong. After hearing this, Sun Wukong realized that there was a corpse not far away from him.

"Huh?" Sun Wukong followed Tang Sanzang's instructions and came to the corpse. He frowned when he looked at the female corpse, "Although this female corpse has a human body, a trace of evil spirit can't be hidden from others, and it can't be hidden from me at all.

Judging from the expression on the master's face, it must be that the monster changed and came to harm the master but was stopped by the little white dragon. However, the master did not know the monster's plot and thought it was the little white dragon who was murderous, so he looked embarrassed. It seems that the monster has some scheming intentions." Thinking of this

Sun Wukong used his magic power to lift up the female corpse, then he chose a place and used the Ruyi Golden Cudgel to smash open a big pit. He first used his magic power to collect the demonic energy from the female corpse, and then buried the female corpse.

After that, Sun Wukong turned around and rode the auspicious cloud to catch up with Tang Sanzang who had taken the first step.

The two masters and disciples continued to walk westward, walking far away. Just after the two left Shepan Mountain, a skull suddenly appeared next to the boulder where Tang Sanzang had been sitting. Looking at the two masters and disciples who were walking away, the invisible skull suddenly appeared.

A blue light flashed in the eye cave, and then the entire figure disappeared. Sun Wukong, who was guarding Tang Sanzang here, felt something in his heart. He turned around and glanced at Snake Panshan behind him, frowned slightly, and then

Continue to follow Tang Sanzang on his journey to the west.

"It turns out that I was hiding next to the boulder where the master was sitting cross-legged. With the master's awe-inspiring righteousness and the monster's weirdness, I was able to escape from the dazzling eyes of my old grandson. I think the Bodhisattva must have noticed it, but he must have had some plan in his heart.

I didn’t kill it, so it seems that this journey to the west is not as simple as imagined.” Next to the boulder, Sun Wukong looked at the pile of bones under the boulder and said with a frown, but it was Sun Wukong who used an external incarnation method to quietly

He ran back to Shepan Mountain to find out what happened.

"This monster should be a skeleton spirit. It can resurrect the soul by borrowing corpses, so if you don't look carefully, even I, Old Sun, will be deceived by it. It seems that this monster has left here. There will be a time to meet it in the future. I, Old Sun,

Just let him know that some people cannot be calculated." After saying this, Sun Wukong's figure disappeared...

The two masters and apprentices walked in the mountains for several days, sleeping in the open on grass and experiencing wind and rain. One day, they finally came to a temple. Tang Sanzang was overjoyed to see the temple towering in front of him, so he got off his horse and straightened his clothes and cassocks.

He took the tin staff and walked to the temple. Seeing this, Sun Wukong put his salute on the horse, and then led the horse and followed Tang Sanzang to the temple.

"Not just any distinguished guest from afar who came to my Guanyin Temple?" Tang Sanzang stood in front of the temple with his hands clasped together and chanting a mantra. At this moment, an old monk walked out of the temple, dressed very gorgeously, leaning on a luxurious crutch.

With the support of a Shani, he walked to the door and asked. When he saw that it was a monk from afar who was chanting sutras in front of the temple, he immediately became happy. He stepped forward and held Tang Sanzang's hand and said, "But I didn't expect that it was a fellow monk from afar.

Come in quickly with the poor monk." After saying this, he took Tang Sanzang to the temple.

"Master, where should the horses be tied?" Sun Wukong saw the monk in the temple pulling Tang Sanzang into the temple. He asked immediately, but he didn't expect that Sun Wukong looked a bit shabby and suddenly appeared in this barren mountain.

, frightened the monks in the temple so much that they trembled all over and were frightened. Fortunately, Tang Sanzang explained in time and the situation was eased.

"But I didn't expect that the elder was so handsome and had this disciple so ugly." The abbot of the temple looked at Sun Wukong walking away and said with a smile. He turned to Tang Sanzang and said, "But I don't know where the elder came from.

Where do you want to go?"

"Abbott, the poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the East and wants to go to Leiyin Temple in Lingshan Mountain in the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures." After hearing this, Tang Sanzang bowed his head and saluted, and then said, "It's a hundred and eight thousand miles to go to the West, and there will be monsters and monsters on the way.

There are too many to count, so the poor monk accepted this disciple to go west together. Elders, please don’t think that this disciple of mine looks ugly, but he has the ability to subdue dragons and tigers."

"So the elder came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty?" The abbot's face changed slightly when he heard Tang Sanzang's words. Then he looked at Tang Sanzang, shook his head and said, "The poor monk is more than 200 years old and has seen him before.

Pedestrians who came here from the Tang Dynasty were all dressed in gorgeous and luxurious clothes. Since the elders also came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, how could they be dressed so shabbily?"

"What the abbot doesn't know is that when we practice and understand Buddhism, we don't care much about things outside our body. As the saying goes, when the Buddha is sitting in the heart, everything is floating dust." Tang Sanzang put his hands together and said with a smile, "So these clothes and cassocks are not important to a poor monk.

It’s just an external thing, as long as it fits you well, why should you care too much?”

"What the elder said is a bit off. As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold." Hearing this, the abbot shook his head and said with a smile, "Practice people must relax their mind and body before they can gain insights, like the elder

What I said is that the mind has been let go, but the body has not been let go. Therefore, although the elder has been practicing until now, although he is full of blessings, he still has not reached his mastery in practice. He is like a poor monk who only has more than 270 years of practice.

Aged and healthy"

"Haha, after all, this path of cultivation does not belong to the same family. Everyone has his own destiny." After hearing the abbot's words, Tang Sanzang had no choice but to reply with a smile. Then he looked at the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the hall and stepped forward to twist it.

The few sticks of incense said respectfully, "The poor monk came all the way to the west and was helped by Guanyin Bodhisattva many times on the way. Since the poor monk has the opportunity to come to the temple to worship, he should burn incense and express his gratitude." After saying this, he held up the incense and bowed to worship.

Not long after, Sun Wukong tied his horse and came in. Seeing his master holding some incense sticks to defeat the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, he also walked in and lit some incense and followed Tang Sanzang to defeat the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Shani was quite amused as he watched. After all, it was the first time that a monkey imitated humans to burn incense and worship Bodhisattva in the eyes of everyone.

"Master, I have raised the white dragon horse. I will rest here today?" Sun Wukong asked Tang Sanzang. The abbot smiled slightly when he heard Sun Wukong's words. He came over and patted Sun Wukong on the back and said with a smile.

, "Young monk, don't worry, the Buddhas in the world are all one family. Your master has a good relationship with the poor monk, and he will rest here tonight. The poor monk will arrange your accommodation and meals."...

After saying that, the abbot turned around and ordered a few Shanis to arrange a rest room for Tang Sanzang and his disciples. Then he called a few more Shanis to go to the kitchen to prepare some vegetarian meals to entertain the original guests.

Sanzang and Sun Wukong went straight to the abbot's Zen room.

On the other side, in Leiyin Temple in Lingshan Mountain in the west, Sakyamuni Buddha was explaining Mahayana Buddhism to the Arhat Bodhisattvas on the lotus platform. At this moment, he suddenly saw an auspicious light coming from outside. Sakyamuni Buddha stopped preaching and looked at

Looking outside, soon I saw a lotus platform flying in. Standing on it was none other than Nanhai Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. He flew to stand next to Sakyamuni Buddha, bowed his head and saluted.

"Master Avalokitesvara, what do you think of going to enlighten the third prince of Xihai to become a white dragon horse?" Sakyamuni Buddha asked Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

"Reporting to my Buddha, the matter of the poor monk going to the Yingchou Stream of Shepan Mountain to enlighten Ao Yu has been settled. However, the poor monk discovered something weird there. After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, so he had to come to Leiyin.

"Please come to the temple to ask me for guidance." Guanyin Bodhisattva clasped his hands and bowed his head and said, "I heard from Tang Sanzang that before Sun Wukong came to look for the poor monk, he had a fight with a black-robed Taoist. Moreover, this black-robed Taoist had very profound magical powers.

Sun Wukong is not his opponent. The strangest thing is that this black-robed Taoist is the incarnation of the innate evil energy, but he did not kill Tang Sanzang. Based on what the poor monk thinks, this black-robed Taoist seems to have no intention of hindering my spread of Buddhism to the east.

But secretly, the poor monk felt that this black-robed Taoist seemed to be an enemy of Buddhism in the future."

"Most of the people who took the form of innate evil energy are the great powers of all directions in ancient times." Shakyamuni Buddha frowned when he heard this, then stretched out his right hand to calculate, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "That's weird, that's weird.

Even with my poor monk’s cultivation, I can’t find out the details of this black-robed Taoist, but who is the master who can use the innate evil energy to take form? You have never seen it based on your experience?”

"This person who took the form of innate evil energy should be a powerful person who has practiced Taoism in ancient times. But the poor monk just calculated it, and it seems that there has never been such a heel since the beginning of the world until now." The ancient lamp-burning Buddha on the side said.

, "Furthermore, Tathagata Buddha's magic power has reached the pinnacle of quasi-sage. If we can't find out the details of this black-robed Taoist, I'm afraid that the cultivation level of this black-robed Taoist is almost the same as that of the Buddha."

"Innate evil energy?" Sakyamuni Buddha frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Where have you heard of this name?" Seeing that all the Buddhas were looking at him, Sakyamuni Buddha made another calculation.

After much deliberation, I still couldn't figure it out for a long time, but I also remembered where I heard it, "The poor monk practiced in the Jie Jiao Sect in his previous life. He still remembers that the leader of the Jie Jiao Sect, Tongtian Saint, once said that there is a beast

Human beings are transformed from innate evil spirits, and this monster seems to be polite even to the leader of the Heavenly Cult, but it is not clear who this monster is."

"What?" All the Buddhas were dumbfounded when they heard Sakyamuni's words. "Even the saint has to be courteous? Is it possible that this monster is very powerful, or that this monster has a great opportunity?"

"It shouldn't be that he is very powerful. With the methods of a saint, he will definitely not give in to this monster because of his strength. I am afraid that this monster's master sect has some background, so even a saint like Lord Tongtian must be courteous."

The ancient Buddha of Ran Deng shook his head and said, "The only sect that can make Tongtian Cult Master have the dignity of a saint is Penglai Immortal Island. But as far as the poor monk knows, apart from the five divine beasts in the Penglai sect, there is only Dongfang Wuhua.

The Great Emperor, Empress Sanxiao, and Emperor Fuxi are just a few of them, but they have never had the name of such a monster."

"They should not be from Penglai's sect." Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head and said, "We have known the mystery of Penglai Immortal Island since the ancient dragon and phoenix disaster. However, although there are countless cultivators on the island, there are only a few disciples of Penglai Xiaoyao Sanren.

, what's more, the Penglai sect never likes to interfere in disasters. Except for the God-conferring Catastrophe, which was only caused by the fate of Emperor Wuhua and the Shang Dynasty, Empress Sanxiao was only caused by Zhao Gongming, the god of martial wealth, and no one else did.

Appeared, so what the poor monk thought was not the Penglai sect."

"No," Shakyamuni Buddha shook his head and said, "Based on what the poor monk is thinking, I am afraid that this monster should be a member of the Penglai sect. After all, Penglai is too mysterious. Even the poor monk has never been there in his previous life, but it can make Tongtian Cult Leader like this."

The only people who treat me are the Penglai disciples, not to mention what the master just said, this monster does not like killing, and it is more in line with the Qing cultivation method of the Penglai disciples. I just don’t know where this monster comes from, and what the relationship is with Sun Wukong?"

"Is it possible that Sun Wukong once visited the Penglai Island before joining the disciples of Master Zhunti? So he had a relationship with this monster?" The ancient Buddha of Randen frowned and said, "You must know that Huaguo Mountain is in the East China Sea. This monkey

If you leave the island to seek immortality, there is a high chance that you will end up on Penglai Immortal Island."

"Perhaps that's true." Shakyamuni Buddha nodded after hearing this. "No wonder when the poor monk was fighting with the monkey in the Lingxiao Hall that day, he always felt that there was something strange about the monkey. It seemed that there were three auspicious lights.

Bless him, I think this auspicious light must be the trick of Emperor Wuhua, but I don’t know what the meaning of Penglai Xiandao is? Is it possible that they want to plot against us in the west during the catastrophe of the spread of Buddhism to the east?"
