West Heaven Spirit Mountain, inside the Hall of Great Strength.
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie had just taken the sariras and entered the hall when they saw a black and white lotus flower emitting a bright light that enveloped everyone in the hall above the heads of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
The only figure standing out was their master, Tang Sanzang!
"Master, what's going on?”Sun Wukong's pupils constricted as he thought of something bad.
"Wukong! He must be a fake. He's Wutian's minion…" Suddenly, Guan Yin Bodhisattva opened her eyes and saw Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie approaching. She was secretly anxious.
Originally, they had been waiting for Tang Sanzang to return, but eighteen days had passed without them realizing it, and he still hadn't returned.
Among the Buddhas, Guanyin and Maitreya had already solved the Buddhist hymn. While they were worried about Tang Sanzang, they also wanted to go to Huaguo Mountain to find Sun Wukong and tell him their true feelings.
Just as they were about to move, a black and white lotus flower appeared above their heads. In a moment, their powers were sealed, and they cursed Wutian for his shamelessness.
After the Buddhas fell asleep, the powerful Guanyin also caught a glimpse of Tang Sanzang entering the hall and was slightly surprised.
This was because Tang Sanzang was sitting cross-legged outside the black and white light membrane, as if he was monitoring the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas…
。。。
When Sun Wukong heard Guanyin's words, a blazing golden light flashed in his eyes. He confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed his master…
Ba Jie also sensed that something was amiss and hurriedly said," Master, what are you doing? How could all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas be covered by a lotus…"
After a long silence, Tang Sanzang finally opened his mouth and sighed." Wukong, things have come to this. I think you should understand…"
"Master, can you tell me why? Ever since you saved me from the Five Elements Mountain, you have taught me to treat others well, not to bully the weak, to be righteous, and to put justice first.”Sun Wukong stared at Tang Sanzang in front of him to determine whether he was real or not.
" Wukong, I know exactly what I'm doing right now…" Tang Sanzang silently turned his head and looked at the grown-up Wukong and the still honest Bajie with a faint smile.
"Back then, when I was the Golden Cicada Master, I did not know what I wanted to do, so I could only go with the flow…" Tang Sanzang thought for a while and sighed with nostalgia," But now, after my nine reincarnations and my ten reincarnations, I understand that these are not what I want.”
" When I accepted the brocade kasaya and the nine-ringed monk staff from the altar of the Land and Water Conference and stepped out of Chang 'an, I did it not for myself, nor for the country, but for the world to be able to escape from the sea of suffering.”
"Now that I've obtained the Mahayana Sutra for more than 300 years, the world has not changed at all. In fact, it's even in turmoil. However, I still returned to Spirited Mountain and chanted scriptures every day to comprehend the Buddhist Dharma…"
At this point, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie also confirmed that this was indeed their master. Only those who had personally experienced those difficult times would have such feelings.
"Nothing has changed…"
"Sanzang, I didn't expect your obsession to be so deep…" Guanyin shook her head regretfully. She had not expected that Tang Sanzang would be persuaded by Wutian and walk on such a path.
"Yes, Bodhisattva! I've already met Rulai and I'll tell you honestly…"
"What? Had Wutian found the reincarnated soul boy?”Guan Yin was shocked, and the magic power in her body began to surge.
"That's right. The True Spirit of the Ancestral Buddha did not reincarnate. It only attached itself to the Spirit Child…"
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie also looked at each other. They thought of the Dipamkara Buddha who had passed away and appeared in front of them many times. It was probably the same for Tathagata…
"Bodhisattva, thank you very much for pleading for me when you listened to the scriptures 500 years ago…" Tang Sanzang stood up and bowed solemnly.
Immediately after, Tang Sanzang bowed again." Thank you for your help on the journey to the West…"
Then, he turned around again and saw Sun Wukong with a determined expression and a different gaze. He couldn't help but smile." Wukong, I'm most proud of having you as my disciple. I guided you to be good and became one of the best figures in the world!”
"Previously, in the case of the Jing River Dragon King's injustice, although I have repeatedly reported it to Rulai, I was ultimately unable to do things for my fellow disciples like you…"
" Bajie, you're greedy and playful. You're lazy, but you're kind at heart. After you became the Purifying Altar Envoy, I heard that you've repeatedly shown your spirit to benefit the poor people there. I'm very proud of you…"
Zhu Bajie's nose turned sour. He didn't expect his master to still be paying attention to him. His experiences on the road to the west were still vivid in his mind.
"All of you have your own paths and have finally grown up. I am very gratified. Although I have not been able to save all living beings, I have saved all of you…"
"Master, if you hadn't deliberately made Ananda's Rulai's Spiritual Talisman crooked at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, I'm afraid I would have been suppressed to death…" At this moment, Sun Wukong revealed a shocking secret.
