"Brother Monkey, where are you going?" Zhu Bajie asked suspiciously when he saw Sun Wukong wanting to go out.
"I'm going to ask the city lord what's going on. I can see that he doesn't quite agree with Master teaching Buddhism here, but he finally agreed. This is unreasonable!" Sun Wukong said without even thinking.
"If it's this matter, I can answer it for you now." Zhu Bajie heard this question and said directly.
"Do you know what's going on?" Sun Wukong asked in surprise.
"Actually, Brother Monkey, if you think about it carefully, you should be able to figure it out. You were so angry with Master that you didn't understand the cause of the matter." Zhu Bajie couldn't help laughing when he saw Sun Wukong's surprised expression.
"Okay, no need to say so much, what is the reason?" Su Wukong interrupted Zhu Bajie and asked.
"The reason lies with a few of us. We are now more and more famous in the ancient world. Especially Brother Monkey, your fame and strength are obvious to everyone. This city lord is doing this just because he wants to sell a favor to
It's just us." Zhu Bajie said with a smile.
Hearing that this was the reason, Sun Wukong suddenly lost his high fighting spirit.
"Brother Monkey, just ask Master to talk about Buddhism here once. When he realizes that talking about Buddhism in Dongsheng Divine Continent is not so beautiful, he will retreat. There is no need for you to fight Master!" Zhu Bajie thought.
He thought about it and said.
"Oh, it's easy for you to say. You don't know why I work so hard every time? I just want to reach the West as soon as possible and end this damn calamity as soon as possible, but he is good at it, regardless of everything, doing what he wants!
"Sun Wukong said with some excitement.
"Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, calm down. There is nothing to say about this matter. Master has already decided and we can only obey. Brother Monkey, you yourself are worried that Master will do this next time, right?" Zhu Bajie said.
"Yes, who knows what he will do next time!" Sun Wukong nodded and said.
"I don't think you need to worry, Brother Monkey. In Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xuanmen Taoism is the mainstream, and Buddhist things will not work here. No matter how hard the master teaches Buddhism, the result is already doomed and it will not work.
Only a few people will come to listen to the lecture then!" Zhu Bajie said confidently.
"You have said a lot, but now Master wants to talk about Buddhism because he sees that Dongsheng Shenzhou is a deserted land of Buddhism. If the effect is not good, will it strengthen his will even more and go to the next city?
, will he preach about Buddhism again?" This is what Sun Wukong is worried about.
"If this is the case, I have no choice but to clarify our purpose and the difficulties of the itinerary with Master." Zhu Bajie couldn't think of any good way, so he had to say this.
"So, I just want Master to realize immediately that our schedule is not good and not smooth. We don't have so much time for him to do whatever he wants! I really thought it was so easy to get the Buddhist stickers this time that it will be so easy in the future.
Are you ready?" Sun Wukong looked at Tang Monk's room and said disdainfully.
"Forget it, Brother Monkey, our mission is very short, it will be over soon!" Zhu Bajie didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only do this.
"As you said, our mission is very short. Forget it, let's not worry about him so much. If he is still so willful in the future, I won't be able to blame him!" Sun Wukong said fiercely.
Regarding Sun Wukong's words, Zhu Bajie didn't know how to comfort him. After all, there was no problem for Sun Wukong to say and do this.
In the next two days, Sun Wukong didn't go out, but Zhu Bajie was having a great time outside.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Tang Monk gave a lecture on Buddhism. The five masters and disciples arrived at the forum prepared by the city lord for Tang Monk early!
However, after arriving here, I discovered that there were almost no people near the forum, only about a hundred people. This was completely different from what Tang Monk expected.
The location of this forum was carefully selected by the city lord. Tang Monk had nothing to say about the location and spaciousness, but no one came!
"What, what's going on? Why are there so few people here?" Tang Seng asked in disbelief.
"Master, I have already said that Dongsheng Shenzhou is different from other places. Xuanmen and Taoism are prevalent here, and Buddhist things are not useful here. You may not know that Buddhism originated from
Derived from Xuanmen Taoism, how could they come here to listen to Buddhist teachings!" Zhu Bajie reminded Tang Seng again when he saw Tang Seng's shocked look.
"Is Buddhism derived from Taoism? Didn't you lie to become a master?" Tang Monk was even more shocked after hearing this!
"Master, there is no need for me to lie to you. Many people in the ancient world knew about this! I won't go into details about the specific reasons, but Buddhism was founded by former Xuanmen and Taoist disciples!" Zhu Bajie said solemnly.
"Even so, Buddhism is always better than others. I have seen Taoist teachings. Although some of them are very subtle, they are still not as good as Buddhist teachings. I believe that Buddhist teachings are more suitable for humankind!" Tang Monk said after being shocked!
.
"Whatever you say, Master, do you still talk about Buddhism when there are so few people now?" Zhu Bajie was too lazy to pay attention to Tang Seng now and asked directly.
"Speak, why don't you speak? Even if there is only one person, I will speak for him!" Tang Seng said firmly!
"Okay, then you go up and talk. It's getting late. Let's finish talking and leave early!" Zhu Bajie couldn't persuade him, so he had to let Tang Seng take action.
Next, Tang Monk was eloquent on the platform, talking about Buddhism and Buddhist principles.
However, as time went by, there were fewer and fewer people below. In the end, only about fifty people persisted until Tang Seng finished speaking. This opened the eyes of both Tang Seng and his disciples, and made Tang Seng clearly realize that Buddhism is here.
It seems really unpopular!
But Tang Seng insisted on finishing the lecture in the end, and he spoke very carefully, but the result was not satisfactory.
After Tang Seng finished speaking, Wu Ming and Sha Wujing helped Tang Seng walk down from the platform and went directly back to their residence.
Because as soon as Tang Seng finished speaking, everyone below left, and no one asked Tang Seng a word about Buddhism!
If they hadn't listened so intoxicated and seemed to have understood something, Tang Seng and the others would have thought that these people were all stooges!
"How could this be?" Tang Seng muttered to himself, still in disbelief!
Zhu Bajie had already mentioned this issue a long time ago. He didn’t want to waste any more time, so he whispered to Sun Wukong.
"Brother Monkey, look at Master, he seems unwilling to give in!"
"So what if he is unwilling to do so? If he still wants to be so willful, I will let him know how difficult the journey will be!" Sun Wukong glanced at Tang Monk and said.
Zhu Bajie glanced at Tang Seng and then at Sun Wukong again, knowing that there was no possibility of reconciliation in this matter.
Now he just hopes that Tang Seng will not make a decision that will cause this team to fall apart. He just wants to complete the journey to the West like this!
"Wu Jing, you go pack your luggage, we will set off tomorrow!" Sun Wukong walked into the room and said to Sha Wujing.
Tang Seng saw Sun Wukong and hesitated to speak, but Sun Wukong ignored Tang Seng. He knew what Tang Seng wanted to say and didn't give him a chance!
"Master, since you have finished teaching about Buddha, we will set off tomorrow. We still have many Buddha stickers to collect!" Sun Wukong said.
"Okay." Tang Seng sighed.
Tang Seng finally accepted his fate? No one knows.
But everyone in Zhu Bajie knows that the rift between Tang Seng and Sun Wukong has become even deeper!
