The Jade Emperor returned to his back hall, still feeling indignant!
He couldn't help but want to slap himself, crying tears of his own foolishness!
Of course, the Jade Emperor also cursed the Dragon King of Jinghe a thousand times in his heart, "You bastard, you have the desire but not the guts, aren't you just stirring up trouble! With so much internal drama, you made me rush my calculations!"
In reality, this also had something to do with the Jade Emperor's cultivation. After all, there was too much water in it, so the Jade Emperor's calculations were not fast. He had only calculated more than half when he got lazy and stopped. Now, the Jade Emperor could already imagine how Di Xin and the others would mock him!
But the Jade Emperor felt bitter!
Finally, he had a chance to be in charge. While Di Xin and the others were away, he wanted to finish quickly, but this was the result? At this moment, the Jade Emperor was lying on his bed, wanting to sleep and forget everything!
Taibai Jinxing, walking outside, hadn't recovered yet. What kind of person is this Jade Emperor? This is it? He can still be the Lord of the Three Realms? Damn it, I could be the lord too! Alas, I regretted getting on the Jade Emperor's pirate ship back then, and now I can't get off!
That's right, he had been labeled as belonging to the Jade Emperor's faction by Di Xin and the others a long time ago. For so many years, he, the dignified Taibai Jinxing of the West, had lived such a miserable life!
At Di Xin's mansion, Di Xin laughed heartily, "This Jade Emperor, I'm speechless!"
Others also laughed heartily. They didn't even need to suppress him themselves; this guy handed them the evidence on a silver platter. It was truly ridiculous. The dignified Jade Emperor would do such a laughable thing, who else would follow you?
This kind of wrongful conviction was probably the first in the Heavenly Court!
"Alright, let's not talk about that idiot! Now that Jin Chanzi has reincarnated for the tenth time, it's complete. It's time to start the Journey to the West!" Kong Xuan said!
That's right, in the eyes of Kong Xuan and the others, the Jade Emperor was an idiot!
"Yes, the previous nine lives were just going through the motions. Now, in the tenth life, we need to spread the news that eating Tang Monk's flesh can grant immortality! To attract demons from the human world!" Di Xin said!
At this moment, Kong Xuan nodded. This matter was simple, and he would handle it!
"The Master has already sent his two young disciples down to the mortal realm!" Di Xin said!
Kong Xuan, Guang Chengzi, and the others nodded. They prepared their own things. The Jie Sect had prepared a lot and was already on the way west. The Chan Sect was the same.
However, this would all have to wait until the four masters and disciples were reunited!
"Let's see how Tang Monk is doing!" Di Xin waved his hand, and a picture appeared before him. At this moment, Tang Sanzang, oh, he was still Chen Xuanzang, was eloquently expounding on the Lesser Vehicle Buddhist teachings at the Great Water-Land Dharma Assembly!
The picture shifted to an old monk!
The old monk had a premonition, looked up at the sky, and then waved his hand, and the picture was broken!
Kong Xuan's eyes immediately widened, and he rebuked, "How dare Cihang not let us see? If it's just him, I'll go deal with him!"
Guang Chengzi beside him also snorted, very displeased!
"Alright, it seems he's going to let Tang Monk go west. We just need to wait!" Di Xin waved his hand. This Kong Xuan was hot-tempered and would explode at the slightest provocation. Anyway, he couldn't stand to see the West prosper!
At this moment, in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the old monk transformed by Guanyin nodded with satisfaction. He was quite pleased with Chen Xuanzang, so he went to see the Tang King. The Tang King, who was discussing state affairs, was stunned!
What's going on? An old monk selling a kasaya could end up in the imperial court? What were these guards doing? Little did he know, it was Guanyin who had used her divine powers!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The old monk transformed by Guanyin immediately bowed and said!
The Tang King nodded. Since the old monk had come, he couldn't possibly turn him away. He asked, "Venerable Sir, what is this kasaya you are selling?"
The Tang King was also quite curious. Since he could enter, the item must be extraordinary!
The old monk smiled and said, "A brocade treasure kasaya! A nine-ringed staff! The kasaya is worth five thousand taels, and the staff is worth two thousand taels."
The Tang King was stunned. Good heavens, you want to sell a kasaya and a staff for seven thousand taels? Are you crazy for money?
So he said, "Such a precious item, does it have any special properties?"
The old monk threw the kasaya, and immediately treasure light radiated outwards. He smiled and said, "If a dragon were to wear a strand of this kasaya, it could avoid the calamity of being devoured by the Great Peng! If a crane were to hang a thread from it, it would achieve the marvel of transcending the mundane and becoming a sage! If you sit on it, you will receive the homage of myriad gods; if you move even a little, seven Buddhas will follow you!"
Seeing the ministers below with wide eyes, the old monk chuckled. These were Buddhist treasures, how could these mortals understand them!
But he continued to say, "This kasaya is made from ice silkworm silk, spun into thread by skilled craftsmen. Woven by celestial maidens, formed by divine weavers, each piece sewn together, each patch piled up. Exquisitely scattered, like blooming flowers, its colors shine brightly, emitting a lustrous glow. When worn, the entire body is enveloped in a red mist, with luminous pearls at the four corners, and a large emerald at the crown."
At this moment, the Tang King's eyes also lit up, as this was indeed a good item!
The old monk continued, "This kasaya, when not in use, can be folded and worn only by a sage. It is adorned with Ruyi Pearls, Mani Pearls, Dust-Repelling Pearls, and Wind-Calming Pearls; there are also red agates, purple corals, luminous pearls, and sarira relics. It is adorned with connected white jade琮. Utterly luxurious, a supreme treasure of Buddhism!"
The Tang King immediately said, "Good, what about the staff!"
The old monk chuckled, put away the kasaya, and took out the staff, saying, "This item is a nine-ringed staff made of celestial copper and meteorite iron, cast from nine sections of immortal vine. Holding it, one will not be stained by the dust of the mortal world!"
The Tang King immediately said, "Quickly go and fetch seven thousand taels of silver and give it to the Venerable Sir!"
At this moment, the old monk smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please wait. My kasaya and staff can be sold, or not sold. To those without fate, they are seven thousand taels; to those with fate, they are given freely!"
The Tang King chuckled. This old monk was quite interesting. He said, "Venerable Sir, are there any fated individuals?"
The old monk said, "That depends on whom Your Majesty bestows it upon!"
The Tang King gave an order to those around him, and soon, Chen Xuanzang walked in. After bowing, the old monk smiled and said, "What the Dharma Master just expounded upon was the Lesser Vehicle Buddhist teachings! Do you know the Great Vehicle Buddhist teachings?"
Chen Xuanzang was stunned, and then quickly bowed, "Greetings, venerable master. This disciple's eyesight is poor and failed to recognize your esteemed presence. What is taught in the East is all Lesser Vehicle Buddhist teachings. May I ask if the venerable master knows what the Great Vehicle Buddhist teachings are?"
The old monk laughed heartily and said, "Your Lesser Vehicle teachings cannot lead the deceased to transcend, they can only conform to the world; I have the Great Vehicle Buddhist teachings, the Three Canons, which can lead the deceased to ascend, can help difficult beings escape suffering, can cultivate eternal life, and can make one come and go without a trace."
Chen Xuanzang immediately said, "Please guide me, venerable master, where can I find the Great Vehicle Buddhist teachings!"
The old monk smiled and said, "Naturally, it is at the Great Thunderclap Temple in the Great Western Heaven, in India, where our Buddha Tathagata resides!"
