Chapter 338
The next day, Tang Seng entered the palace to change Guan Wen, and coincidentally, the abbot of Xianlu was also present, so there was a collision between "Buddha" and "Tao" in the main hall of the palace.

The king said: "I heard it was said in ancient times that a monk is a disciple of the Buddhist family. I don't know if it is possible to live as a monk, but it is possible to live forever if you follow the Buddha?"

When Tang Seng heard this, he felt a little dissatisfied: The Bhikkhu Kingdom is a country named after monks, and it’s fine if there are no temples. As a king, why do you even say that the rumors about monks are ancient legends?
However, Tang Seng's self-cultivation is very good, he solemnly said to the monk king:

"Illusions have form and will eventually be destroyed, so what more can you ask for?
Doing exercises and sitting in meditation is the root of meditation.Gratitude and kindness, sincerity is the foundation of practice.If it is said to collect yin and nourish yang, it is a fallacy to be honest, but it is a false statement to take bait and live a long life.

As long as it is done: the world is always abandoned, and everything is empty.Su Su is pure and devoid of love and desire, and naturally enjoys eternal life. "

The Tang monk told the king clearly: the human body is just a stinky skin, and there will always be a bad day, so why be reluctant to part with it?
If you want to live forever, you need to practice meditation and gain merit.

If someone tells you that harvesting yin and replenishing yang can lead to longevity, it is purely lying to you.

If someone tells you that you can live longer by taking medicine, they are lying to you even more.

Don't be greedy for women anymore, as long as you abstain from sex, you will surely live a few more years.

The king didn't know if he understood or not, but the king did.The head of the country said in his heart: Aren't you talking about me?

Your sister, last night you cast a spell to take away my child and made me fall short. Today, you came to the court to beat me in the face again. Do you really think I am made of mud?
Ever since, the abbot of the state pointed at Tang Monk and sneered: "Heh, heh, heh! You monk is full of stubble! In the gate of Nirvana, Xu Yun recognizes the nature. You don't know where the nature comes from! Sitting and meditating, it's all these things. Cultivate blindly and practice blindly. As the saying goes, sit, sit, sit, your butt will be broken! Tortured by fire, it will be a disaster.

Those who cultivate immortality are the ones with strong bones;

He went to the mountains to visit friends with a ladle, and collected hundreds of medicines to help people in the world.Pick fairy flowers to build hats, fold fragrant loh to spread antimony.The applause of the song, the sleep of the cloud after the dance.

Explain the Taoism and promote the orthodox teaching of the Supreme Being; apply talisman water to eliminate the demon atmosphere of the world.

Capture the beauty of heaven and earth, and gather the essence of the sun and the moon.Yin and Yang are transported to form alchemy, and water and fire are used to form fetal coagulation.

Medicine should be taken at four seasons, and cultivation of alchemy should be done at nine turns.

Cross Qingluan, ascend to Zifu; ride white crane, go to Yaojing.Participating in the splendor of the sky shows the hospitality of the Miaodao.

Among the three religions, the highest grade is the highest, and since ancient times, Taoism has been the only one to be respected! "

After the head of the country finished speaking, all the ministers in the hall cheered and praised!
Why did no one applaud Tang Seng?

First of all, Tang Seng shouldn't say the phrase 'serving bait and longevity is actually a false word'.

What kind of world is Journey to the West?
Myth world!

It is not uncommon for people in Journey to the West to live long because of eating something.

Leaving aside, let's just say that all the ministers present have seen or heard of such cases. Therefore, the head of the state called Tang Seng "full of nonsense", and everyone else agreed very much.

In addition, Tang Seng also said: "The world is always abandoned, and everything is empty. If you are pure and innocent, you will naturally live forever."

This passage can only be felt by those whose spirit has risen to a certain level.

This passage refers to 'forget about ordinary desires', but the king and the ministers understood it as abstinence.

Of course, it is difficult for ordinary people to achieve the state of 'forgetting desires'. Even monks who practice are [-]% of them are abstinent. It is no wonder that the king and ministers misunderstood it.

Whether it is the king or the ministers, they live a life of extravagance and luxury every day. I am afraid that I will lose myself too little pleasure. Who would want to abstinence?

The words of the head of the country are exactly the opposite.

He went to the mountains to visit friends with a ladle, and collected hundreds of medicines to help people in the world.Pick fairy flowers to build hats, fold fragrant loh to spread antimony.

As soon as these words came out, suddenly, a "carefree and elegant scholar" appeared in the minds of all the ministers.

Although the ministers couldn't do it, the literati complex in their bones longed for such a carefree experience, so the words of the head of the state aroused the sympathy of the ministers, and naturally won the round of applause.

Judging from everyone's reaction, the verdict was decided, and Tang Seng was defeated by the head of the country, and left the palace in despair.

After Tang Seng left, the king dismissed all the ministers, and talked with the head of state about the missing child, his face full of sorrow.

The head of the state resisted the pain in his heart and liver, and replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I see that the monk who learned the scriptures is clean and tidy. Children are ten thousand times stronger, if you get his heart and liver decoction, plus my elixir medicine, you will be able to live for ten thousand years."

The longevity medicine is hopeless, hurry up and complete the task assigned by the master.

When Tang Seng learned that the king wanted to take his heart and liver for medicine, his expression changed drastically, and then he collapsed on the ground, unable to move his hands or speak.

Why is Tang Seng so afraid?

Because, in the past, those who wanted to kill Tang Seng were all demons and ghosts. Tang Seng was protected by his disciples, so he felt very at ease.

The person who wants to kill him today is the king of the world.

Tang Seng has always opposed Wukong's killing of mortals. Today, the king of the world wants to kill him, and Tang Seng is embarrassed!
If Wukong wants to protect himself, he will inevitably fight with ordinary people, which is inconsistent with his own code of conduct. If he does not ask Wukong to do it, he will be killed again. Therefore, Tang Seng was shocked and anxious, and had a stroke!
It's okay to have a stroke, everyone is a god, so the treatment of stroke should not be too pediatric.

After a lot of work, Tang Seng was cured quickly.

After Tang Seng woke up, the first thing he did was to drag Wukong and pleaded: "Sage! What should I do about this matter?"

When Tang Seng said this, he had given Wukong the right to choose. If Wukong fought all the way, he would turn a blind eye and close one eye.

Wukong replied: "If you want to live forever, you must have a teacher as an apprentice, and an apprentice as a teacher." What Wukong meant was: he changed into Tang Seng's appearance, and Tang Seng changed into his appearance.

But Tang Seng missed the job. He thought that Wukong was going to be a master, and he was going to be an apprentice.

At this time, Tang Seng was really scared, and hurriedly replied: "If you can save my life, I would rather be your apprentice and grandson." Don't talk about being your apprentice, just be your disciple and grandson!

Why did Tang Seng suddenly become so bottomless?
For one thing, he is now counting on Wukong to take him away, and he must maintain Wukong's emotions.

Secondly, in the final analysis, Tang Seng is just an ordinary person. When he first learned the scriptures, he was only 25 years old, full of vigor and ambition.

Up to now, the road of learning scriptures has been going for more than ten years, and Tang Seng is now close to 40 years old.

Calculated according to the average life expectancy of a mortal being less than sixty, two-thirds of Tang Seng's life has passed, and he is no longer the young man he was back then!

Learning the scriptures has become Tang Seng's lifelong obsession. If he fails to obtain the scriptures in his lifetime, his whole life will be a joke.

With this in mind, Tang Seng's ideology has begun to change fundamentally...
