“So it goes… one misstep results in one other. Tang Xuanzang has now reached Ling Mountain, however there are nonetheless two hardships to endure!”

After talking…

Guanyin appeared considerably disheartened.

Regardless of being one of many high martial artists in all of the Three Realms, the attainment of the deserves of Quasi-sage by Guanyin was solely obstructed by the Amount Tribulation of the Journey to the West.

Satirically, simply when she was about to clear the final hurdle, Daoist Xuanqing appeared, feeling like her destined nemesis, and dwarfed her from the start to the tip.

In face of this example, she was completely helpless. If she had not acted decisively, she would’ve inevitably suffered a catastrophe.

At this second.

Tathagata Buddha, in addition to all of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas in the principle corridor, appeared misplaced in thought after listening to Guanyin’s account.

Two hardships…Solely after surviving two extra tribulations, can they obtain the Eighty-one hardships.

Solely after finishing the Eighty-one hardships, can the mission be accomplished and handed over to the ‘Heavenly Path’ to be verified.

A second of silence lingered in the principle corridor.

An thought sparked in Guanyin’s thoughts, and he or she rapidly spoke of the makeshift resolution she had provide you with:

“I consider, one of many remaining two hardships might be straight positioned on Ling Mountain!”

“How so?”

The potbellied Maitreya, who had been silent all this whereas, abruptly requested with a cheeky grin.

“We may do that… and this… then this…”

Guanyin, with a small smile touching her lips, stated softly to Maitreya.

After all.

She neither blocked Tathagata Buddha’s skill to listen to, nor did she have the facility to take action. Due to this fact, Tathagata and the opposite Buddha and Bodhisattvas within the corridor additionally heard her phrases.

Upon listening to this.

Whether or not it was Maitreya, Tathagata, or the opposite Buddha and Bodhisattvas within the corridor, all nodded in settlement.

Though such a plan of action may make the Buddhism from Shimon seem small-minded, the vital factor was that it might assist make up for the tribulation.

“Properly then, we’ll proceed together with your plan!”

“Nevertheless, how do you propose to cope with the final hardship?” Tathagata requested with a playful smile.

After seeing all this.

Guanyin hesitated a second earlier than realizing what was occurring.

Wanting on the expression on her superior’s face, it was apparent that he had a plan in thoughts; he simply needed her to say it out loud.

With this in thoughts.

She then stated: “As for the remaining hardship, I’m at a loss over find out how to proceed. I hope the Tathagata Buddha may information me somewhat.”

Upon listening to this.

A glad smile appeared on Tathagata’s face.

When a frontrunner offers a speech, subordinates ought to coordinate effectively. On this approach, the chief’s knowledge might be higher manifested.

“I heard that Tang Xuanzang as soon as served as a county Justice of the Peace within the Black Wind Nation. Why not let the ultimate tribulation happen within the Peacock Dynasty?” Tathagata stated indifferently.

“Tathagata Buddha, do you imply…?”

Guanyin, feeling a way of revelation, requested hesitantly.

Upon listening to her query.

Tathagata smiled gently and stated: “Contemplating that Tang Xuanzang served as county Justice of the Peace within the Black Wind Nation, why not let him function State Preceptor within the Peacock Dynasty?”

“The saying goes: ‘A minor hideaway is within the wild, a medium is within the metropolis, and a grand one is within the courtroom.’ Solely after surviving this worldly courtroom tribulation can one attain the Advantage Buddha.”

As quickly as he completed talking.

All of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas in the principle corridor nodded in approval.

Even Guanyin herself was fairly amazed by her chief’s thought.

Because the one chargeable for the Eighty-one hardships, she knew all too effectively that the harder the issue, the extra benefit one may accrue by overcoming it.

The circumstances throughout the Peacock Dynasty of their jurisdiction have been fairly sophisticated; absolutely, this might show a extremely difficult trial certainly.

So long as Tang Xuanzang may overcome this tribulation, the benefit he may accumulate ought to be sufficient to make up for the harm finished by Daoist Xuanqing.

“The Buddha is smart!”

Guanyin bowed respectfully to Tathagata.

At this second.

On the foot of Ling Mountain.

Tang Xuanzang led the best way, his nine-ringed tin rod in hand. Behind him, Monkey King bounded together with exuberant vitality, and Zhu Bajie led the White Dragon Horse, his eyes roving all over the place. Lastly, the sincere Monk Sha, bearing the load, adopted within the rear.

“Heh heh- This Ling Mountain is impressively developed, fairly frankly, it may match as much as the Lingxiao Bao Corridor of Heaven itself-”

Scratching his chest, Monkey King remarked in jest.

“Senior brother, take a look at this pillar- It seems to be product of gold, undecided if it’s pure gold although. I’d prefer to take a nibble on behalf of Outdated Pig.”

Zhu Bajie stated, his eyes gleaming.

Mentioned and finished, the oaf put down the reins of the Bai Longma, made a transfer in direction of biting the golden pillar subsequent to him.

Seeing this unfold.

Tang Xuanzang rolled his eyes, chided irritably, “You lout, be cautious of your conduct. We’re on the foot of the Buddha, you can not behave this fashion!” On the aspect.

Monkey King additionally laughed heartily, pointed at Pig Eight and joked, “You actually are a numbskull with no ambition, what will we, outsiders, want these worldly and materials possessions for?”

“Hrnph-”

Zhu Bajie snorted, detached to Tang Xuanzang and Monkey King, and bit into the pillar and not using a care.

A couple of distinct tooth marks… have been clearly seen on the golden pillar. It appeared that this colossal assemble… was genuinely made out of gold.

“What would you guys know, when this journey to fetch the scriptures is over, we’re going to share the deserves. On the very least, this previous pig may develop into an envoy.”

Zhu Bajie smacked his lips, counted on his fingers, muttered, “Constructing a temple later would rely solely on these yellow and white issues (coinage). Plus… Second Sister’s dowry additionally wants cash…”

Simply because the group was bickering.

Out of the blue.

Hurrying footsteps from not far off caught their consideration, they noticed two monks in cassocks approaching briskly.

“Hey hey hey, pig-faced creature, who do you belong to? How dare you nibble on this pillar?” Maha Kajia reprimanded furiously.

The opposite monk, Ananda, examined the pillar and gasped in horror on the sight of the tooth marks; he was so offended, smoke may virtually billow out of his ears.

“Hey, you left chunk marks on our pillar, you damned beast!” trembling with fury, Ananda pointed on the offender.

The state of affairs instantaneously turned awkward.

Monkey King stifled his laughter, Monk Sha remained silent, the Bai Longma sneezed. Zhu Bajie, nonetheless, had a nonchalant expression.

“Amitabha!”

Tang Xuanzang sighed deeply. He stepped ahead, recited the title of Buddha, after which defined:

“Venerable elders, this humble monk hails from the Jap Nice Tang. We have now travelled right here to pay our respects to the Buddha, search the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism and fetch the scriptures to dispel our doubts.”

Upon listening to this.

The 2 monks exchanged glances.

Ananda’s eyes darted round, immediately dropping his rage for a jovial smile.

“Hehehe, so you’re the venerable Tang Monk from the Jap Nice Tang. Please…you all are most welcome-” Ananda bowed barely, gesturing them to stroll in.

“Ah… thanks.”

Tang Xuanzang was shocked, puzzled over why the opposite get together had abruptly modified his angle. He may solely return the courtesy with a well mannered smile, then led his disciples into the internal corridor.

As soon as they entered one of many visitor rooms.

Each Ananda and Maha Kajia welcomed the vacationers, and the latter fetched some vegetarian pastries.

“Esteemed ciders, please get pleasure from.” Maha Kajia stated.

“This… Thanks!”

Tang Xuanzang hesitated barely, finally reaching out to take a small style, in order to not reject the opposite’s kindness.

Nevertheless.

The very subsequent second, he heard a flabbergasting comment from this monk.

This Ananda with a smile on his face, his thumb and index fingers rubbed collectively as he stated insensitively:

“I heard that the Nice Tang Empire is extremely prosperous, it’s the celestial dynasty on earth. I’m wondering if the esteemed Tang Monk, coming to Ling Mountain to fetch the scriptures, has introduced any….”

Upon seeing this.

Tang Xuanzang froze in his actions, he hurriedly put down the pastry in his hand and chanting the Buddha’s title together with his palms collectively stated: “Amitabha, the Nice Tang Empire may be affluent, however this humble monk is an ascetic, I don’t carry any treasures with me.”

No treasures?

Ananda’s face darkened, however he held his mood in examine. As a substitute, he requested once more, “What about strange objects of fabric worth, like gold and silver?”

Of their view, a monk representing the Tang Empire within the secular world to fetch scriptures should maintain a excessive place within the Empire.

That means… these worldly gold and silver possessions are as trivial to him because the hill of beans, identical to them on Ling Mountain the place even a single pillar is product of pure gold.

Upon listening to this.

Tang Xuanzang virtually laughed himself to breathlessness.

Is that this what monks on Ling Mountain are like?
