Seeing a holy monk misses life

Perhaps, the other party cannot be called Tang Sanzang.

Because Tang Sanzang is him, but he is not only Tang Sanzang.

Thinking of the monk in white, Tathagata's eyes changed slightly.

He restrained his mind, looked at the three Monkey Kings who were thinking with downcast eyes, and waited for Tang Sanzang's three apprentices to make the final choice.

Sun Wukong looked at the phantom of Tathagata, and said in a cold voice, "It's still the same sentence, this test related to choice should not be as simple as it looks on the surface."

Speaking of this, I don't know what he thought of, and Sun Wukong's tone became a little impatient: "Tathagata, don't beat around the bush, just say it straight."

He wanted to see Master as soon as possible, and he didn't want to waste unnecessary time, and he didn't want to spend too much energy dealing with people who didn't care.

The Tathagata saw the reason for the impetuous feeling in Sun Wukong's heart, and he said meaningfully: "Choose the door on the left to go directly to Leiyin Temple to obtain the scriptures, which means that you must get rid of your demons."

Sun Wukong's eyes flashed.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing said at the same time: "Demon?"

The Tathagata looked at Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing and said, "You two should be clear that there are emotions in your hearts that you shouldn't have, and you have two hearts. If you are willing to kill the two hearts and have the determination to eliminate the demons, you are qualified to push the left side away. door, go to Leiyin Temple to get the scriptures, and the merits and virtues will be completed."

Tathagata's voice is deep and solemn, full of convincing magic.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing put their hands on their chests, looking puzzled.They know that this is the test given to them by the Buddha, they choose to push open the door on the left, choose to get rid of their inner demons, get rid of the distracting thoughts in their hearts, and go to Leiyin Temple to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures. Only then can they pass the final test and be considered complete. Nine to one.

Just like the last picture they saw on the mural.Four of them were masters and apprentices, and five of them were enshrined in the Daxiong Hall.

Tathagata raised his hand and said slowly: "That's right, I've said it all, let's make a choice now."

Sun Wukong looked directly into Tathagata's eyes: "Where is Master?"

Tathagata said: "Your master made a choice earlier than you. He is behind the door, waiting for you to make a choice." As for which door it is behind, he did not say.

Tathagata's words caused the air to be silent for more than ten seconds, after which Zhu Bajie moved.With his lips tightly closed, he took the lead and walked towards the door on the left.

Zhu Bajie chose to get rid of his double-mindedness and get rid of his demons.

He wanted to pass this last hurdle as soon as possible, arrive at Leiyin Temple, retrieve the scriptures with his master, and be sealed in the treasure hall together after completing the meritorious deeds as shown in the mural.

Zhu Bajie thought that after being sealed, he could still work with his master and get along day and night in the sky.

At this time, Sha Wujing also moved, and he also made a choice, walking behind Zhu Bajie.

Obviously, his choice is the same as Zhu Bajie's.

Get rid of demons and seek the truth.

Whether it is Zhu Bajie or Sha Wujing, they all firmly believe that they who made this choice will see their master as soon as possible.

Because they know that the purpose of Master's journey to the west is to obtain the true scriptures, learn the Mahayana Dharma, and go to save sentient beings.

Tathagata looked at Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing who had already walked to the door on the left, and then looked at Monkey King who stood still and hadn't made a choice: "It's your turn." He said.

Hearing this, Monkey King unconsciously clenched the hand hanging by his side into a fist.

He looked at the door on the left, and rationally told him that he should make the same choice as Zhu Bajie and Junior Brother Sha, but the emotion in his heart made him hesitate.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing looked back at Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing shouted: "Brother?" They were waiting for Monkey King, waiting for him as a senior brother to push open the door in front of him together.

However, to the surprise of Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, Monkey King, who stepped forward, walked in the opposite direction to this door, and he walked to another door.

Zhu Bajie was stunned.

Sha Wujing opened his eyes even more in surprise, he raised his volume and said, "Brother, why did you choose that door!" His words were full of incomprehension.

why?

Monkey King looked at the door in the darkness in front of him and smiled.

Of course it was because he was unwilling to get rid of his distractions and the distracting thoughts in his heart.

In Sun Wukong's view, that second heart cannot be regarded as a demon, it is his liking for Master, and it is the love bred out of longing for Master.

No matter what other things are mixed in this love, whether it is the desire to possess or the desire to embrace intimately, it is all part of his emotions and constitutes a complete him.

Choosing to get rid of the double heart is equivalent to choosing to kill this emotion.

And he was unwilling to give up this relationship, and he did not want to completely eliminate the love for Master in his mind.

If the price of obtaining the scriptures and cultivating merits and virtues is to give up this emotion.

He doesn't want to.

Because of that, even if his merits and virtues are complete, and he no longer likes Master in his heart, he will no longer be a complete Monkey King.Even if he was conferred the title of Buddha in the treasure hall with his master later, without that emotion, it was not the ending he wanted.

So what about fighting against Buddha?

He was born free.

Heaven and earth, unfettered.

He didn't care about becoming a Buddha, and he didn't care.

What he wants is to always keep his love for Master, to keep his true affection and joy.

Because for Sun Wukong, this is the most precious thing.

Looking at Monkey King standing in front of the door on the right, Tathagata raised his eyelids and said, "Have you decided?"

Sun Wukong hummed.

"This door leads to the unknown, and if you open it, you may face all kinds of dangers." Tathagata finally asked, "You don't regret it?"

Monkey King said: "No regrets."

He chooses to keep his inner emotions.Even if he can get the master's response to his liking, he is still not sure.Even if the master is behind the door leading to the Leiyin Temple in the West Heaven.

He also chose such a door without hesitation.

Even if this choice is a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​fire.

He'd push it away, too, and step in.Retain the liking for the master, overcome the unknown danger behind the door, and then, still with the most complete posture, go to the master and appear in front of the master.

This is what Sun Wukong thought.

Tathagata said: "There is no right or wrong choice. Now that the three of you have made your choice, then push open the door in front of you."

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing exchanged glances with each other, and after making up their minds, they raised their hands at the same time, pushed forward, and pushed open the door on the left.

The door was pushed open, and a light shone from behind the door.

This ray of light is bright, warm and warm like a spring afternoon.

It seems to be able to drive away all evil and disperse all fatigue.

When this light shrouded them, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing could feel their bodies becoming lighter, as if they had been baptized, and felt a sense of rebirth, and their limbs were full of strength.

Zhu Bajie looked at his hands, and then said to Sha Wujing, "Go in."

Sha Wujing nodded, and together with Zhu Bajie stepped in facing the light.

At the same time, Monkey King also pushed open the door on the right.
