Along the way, it took Tang Seng and his disciples another two months to reach their destination, Jinling Temple.
What they encountered along the way was no different from what they encountered before, and there would still be people coming to stop them.
Ten times the Daluo Jinxian Peak formed a group to besiege, but they were all sent away by Zhu Bajie and the others.
They obviously knew these people and Zhu Bajie, and they were talking and laughing while they were fighting.
If Sun Wukong hadn't become impatient, they might still have to fight for a while.
When he came to Jinlang Temple, Tang Monk's popularity was far less than that in the other three continents.
The abbot of Jinlang Temple all came out to greet Tang Seng and his disciples, but their enthusiasm made Tang Seng feel that it was not very high at once.
The people in Jinlang Temple seemed to be dealing with something. They didn't seem to care about Tang Monk's discussion and lectures on Buddhism.
They treated Tang Seng like an ordinary guest, without any excitement or flattery.
Tang Monk could feel that the reception staff at the temples he met in the past were very happy and excited.
Tang Seng's discernment, which he has honed over many years, can also tell that there is flattery in those people's eyes.
They just hope that Tang Seng can give them Buddhist principles for a longer period of time so that they can make better and faster breakthroughs.
However, in Jinling Temple, Tang Monk basically did not see these looks. Although the eyes of everyone in Jinling Temple were a little excited, they were by no means expecting.
This also made Tang Seng very puzzled, so after Tang Seng and his disciples arrived at the courtyard prepared for them at Jinlang Temple, Tang Seng asked.
"Wukong, they don't seem to be enthusiastic about our arrival. Have we offended them?"
"Probably not. My spiritual consciousness noticed the situation at Jinlang Temple from the beginning. I was deeply afraid that there would be something wrong with the Buddha stickers. I didn't find anything wrong. Master, do you think there is something wrong?" Sun Wukong asked.
"It feels good to be a teacher. Although they welcomed our team very grandly, their eyes told me that they did not welcome us as much as I imagined. It seemed normal and nothing worthy of welcome." Tang Seng said.
"Do they think we are here to steal their Buddha stickers, so their attitude towards us is not enthusiastic?" Zhu Bajie interjected.
"It's not impossible, but I always feel like it's not, and I can't explain why," Tang Seng said.
"Master, do you think these people are not excited about our arrival, as if they don't feel supported by others?" Wu Ming suddenly asked.
"Yes, that's the feeling. Although I don't want such a thing to happen, when I was in the other three continents, those temples always gave me such a feeling. Now they don't give me that feeling. I always feel
Something is wrong." Tang Seng said a little embarrassed.
"Master, maybe those people in the past needed your lectures on Buddhism, Master, but the people here don't need it," Wu Ming said.
"Maybe they themselves need the Buddhist stickers in their hands, and they can understand the Buddhist teachings in them, and don't want to hand them over to us, so although their attitude towards us is not bad, they are not very enthusiastic either." Zhu Bajie also said.
"Maybe both." Sun Wukong also said.
Tang Seng also understood the analysis of Sun Wukong and the others.
The situation is different on every continent. Now Xiniu Hezhou itself is occupied by people who are profound in Buddhism.
There are many people here who are proficient in Buddhism, and monks who can support a monastery will have a higher cultivation level of Buddhism, unlike those in other three continents who have a weak foundation like those who became monks halfway.
These people are also obsessed with Buddha stickers. It is a very precious thing for them to have a Buddha sticker.
Now Tang Monk and his disciples are traveling westward and need Buddha stickers. This is tantamount to taking away their precious things and getting something they don't really want.
It’s strange that the people at Jinlang Temple would be very excited under such a situation!
"Jinrang Temple does not practice Mahayana Buddhism. They should be in great need of the teacher's explanation of Hinayana Buddhism. Why does this situation still happen?" Tang Monk asked unwillingly.
"Master, if you were proficient in profound Hinayana Buddhism, they would still have hope, but a lot of what you have learned now is also basic Hinayana Buddhism. These are available throughout the world, so how can they be rare?" Wu Ming said.
"Wu Ming, don't think that I don't know everything. Those people do extraordinary things in order to listen to my teacher's lectures on Buddhism. I know that my teacher's lectures on Buddhism are not that simple. You have all said this.
, so it is beneficial for me to discuss Buddhism with them as a teacher." Tang Seng said.
"Master, you are not wrong in saying that, but although the number of times the monks here listen to saints preaching about Buddhism is rare, it is not unheard of. In Xiniu Hezhou, whether it is Mahayana Buddhism or Buddhism, both monks will speak about it every ten thousand years.
Buddha once."
"So, the monks here who are above the Golden Immortal level have basically heard the saints preach about Buddhism. They are not very surprised that Master you preach about Buddhism like this." Wu Ming said.
"No wonder they are so confident. If so, I know the reason why they did this." Tang Seng sighed.
"Master, actually you don't need to be discouraged. We all know that the power of your talk about Buddhism is no less than that of a saint's talk about Buddhism. It is an honor for them to listen to your talk about Buddhism. You have also seen that although they are not very enthusiastic,
But he won’t give us any shame either.”
"That's because they knew that Master you were quite capable, so they didn't show their face to us. Now I'm worried about another thing." Sun Wukong comforted Tang Seng and said.
"Although I know what you said is right, Wukong, what are you worried about? I should have nothing to worry about," Tang Seng said in confusion.
"Master, what Brother Monkey is worried about is that you are not proficient in Mahayana Buddhism and you will not be able to argue with them when discussing Buddhism. Then we will be in trouble." Zhu Bajie knew what Sun Wukong was worried about, so he said it at once.
"If this is the case, you can rest assured. In the past, when I talked about Buddhism as a teacher, I did not include very profound Buddhist teachings. I was worried that those people would not understand it and would lead them into the abyss. My teacher's ability is not just that.
." Tang Monk said mysteriously.
"Master, are you telling the truth?" Sun Wukong and others asked in surprise.
"That's right, if I had just left the Tang Dynasty, I wouldn't have had such great confidence, but after so many years of experience, I have often studied Buddha stickers and the Buddhist teachings on Buddha stickers.
As a teacher, I have also gained a lot of understanding, and I can understand many profound Buddhist teachings.”
"Now in terms of Buddhist cultivation, my master is not much worse than others, even in Xiniu Hezhou, a continent where Buddhism is spread all over. I am confident that I can conquer them." Tang Monk said with confidence.
Hearing Tang Monk's confident words, Sun Wukong and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately for Sun Wukong, he didn't know much about the information on Xiniu Hezhou, but Zhu Bajie and the others knew that the monks here were much stronger than the monks they met.
It's not about the strength of cultivation, but the understanding of Buddhism. These are the key to their decision to stick to Buddha.
Now with Tang Seng's guarantee, Zhu Bajie and the others feel relieved.
Tang Seng is very confident, what he is thinking about now is...
He was finally able to show what he had learned, and Tang Seng was also looking forward to tomorrow's discussion on Buddhism.
