Back in their yard, Tang Monk sat on a chair. He calmed down a little and said to Sun Wukong.
"Wukong, you don't need to be so blunt when speaking from now on, just be a little gentler."
"Master, I understand. If you feel something is wrong, I will speak up next time." Sun Wukong said.
Seeing Sun Wukong say this, something happened, and Tang Monk couldn't say anything.
The next day, they went straight on the road and did not stay long.
This time, they did not return to Void City, but followed Tang Seng's wishes and walked towards Duankong Mountain.
Tang Seng's decision was reasonable but also surprised everyone.
Mahayana Buddhism is also Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism also has saints and even Buddhas. It was very reasonable for Monk Tang to worship the mountain in the past.
However, Tang Seng is a disciple of Buddhism. He has studied Hinayana Buddhism since he was a child. He has long been labeled as a disciple of Buddhism.
Moreover, he has only recently learned Mahayana Buddhism, so his relationship with Mahayana Buddhism should not be that good. There should be no possibility of worshiping mountains.
But now Tang Monk insists on going to worship the mountain, which makes the Buddhist people a little anxious. They are deeply afraid that Tang Monk will be abducted like this.
Although Mahayana Buddhism is very happy with Tang Monk's behavior of worshiping the mountain, he still needs many tests if he wants to worship the mountain!
In terms of distance, it takes three months to get from Kongcheng Temple to Duankong Mountain, which is longer than it takes them to go from the city to the temple.
If it were just like this, it wouldn't be said to be a test, because there would be no disciples of Mahayana Buddhism coming to beat the autumn wind.
However, what Tang Seng and his disciples never expected was that a month after they left, they met a Mahayana Buddhist monk who asked for advice.
Looking at the old monk who was at the peak of Daluo Jinxian in front of them, Sun Wukong and others became a little wary, and Tang Monk asked kindly.
"Teacher, please, why are you standing in front of us?"
"Tang Monk, this poor monk came here for one purpose, which is to get Buddha stickers on your body." The old monk said with a smile.
These words made Sun Wukong almost want to beat the person in front of him to death. They finally got here. If there was any mistake that caused the Buddha sticker to be missing, Sun Wukong would not know how to vent his anger.
"Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, hold on, hold on." Seeing that Sun Wukong was about to take action, Zhu Bajie next to him quickly stopped him.
"Wukong, An Jing, don't you still believe in me as a master?" Tang Monk also spoke up to stop Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong calmed down after hearing Tang Seng's words, but he still stared at the old bald donkey in front of him fiercely. He wished he could beat him to death with a stick!
"Teacher, Master, the Buddha sticker has already stated that as long as there is a challenge, you cannot be timid, let alone avoid the battle. If you want the Buddha sticker, we will decide based on the Buddha. How about it?" Tang Monk was not angry at all, he was even a little happy.
If someone comes to challenge him, it means that he has good Buddhist practice. Such people can gain him more or less!
"I'll do as you say. I also want to ask you about your skills." The old monk was not afraid at all and still said with a smile.
"Teacher, are you ready? It's still early. If there's nothing else, let's start. How about that?" Tang Monk looked at the sky and said.
"As long as you are willing, I can do it. I hope Tang Monk can give me a surprise." The old monk said.
Sun Wukong and others knew that they could not stop this discussion about Buddhism, so they had no choice but to protect Tang Seng to prevent the old monk from plotting to harm Tang Seng.
As for talking about Buddhism, Tang Seng is right, they should believe him!
Although Tang Seng was very confident, this was the territory of Mahayana Buddhism, and the people coming here must also be practicing Mahayana Buddhism. Tang Seng was somewhat uneasy.
However, as the discussion on Buddhism began, Tang Seng gradually let go of this anxiety and he had completely taken control of the situation.
This time when discussing Buddhism, Tang Monk did not use Hinayana Buddhism to gain the upper hand from the beginning. There was only one other person on the other side, so there was absolutely no need to do that.
Tang Monk wanted to use simple Mahayana Buddhism to compete with the old monk in front of him!
At first, the old monk's Mahayana Buddhism was pretty good, but that's all. Even in Kongcheng Temple, there were several Mahayana Buddhism masters who were better than him.
There is no comparison between such a person and Tang Seng, and Tang Seng also gave him a lot of face.
After half an hour, Tang Monk had a thorough understanding of the Buddhist practice of the old monk in front of him.
So Tang Seng ended the discussion on Buddhism directly, leaving the old monk in front of him speechless. In this way, Tang Seng won the discussion on Buddhism!
"The rumors are indeed true, and your monk Tang's Buddhist practice is indeed terrifying." After finishing the discussion on Buddhism, the old monk said a little disappointed.
"Teacher, your Buddhist teachings are also quite good. Among the masters that this poor monk has encountered over the years, you are also an old master." Tang Monk said modestly.
"I know what a poor monk is like. You win this time, so I won't hinder your progress. I hope you can reach Duankong Mountain." After the old monk finished speaking, he left.
But Tang Seng himself was very confused. He didn't know what the old monk meant.
"Wukong, Bajie, do you know what he means?"
He looked over and suddenly saw that Sun Wukong's face was not very good, and he knew something had happened.
"Master, I just took a look with my spiritual consciousness. On the way we are going forward, there are many old ghosts waiting in front. They should all want to discuss Buddhism with Master and grab Buddha stickers. They are all obviously disgusting.
We!" Sun Wukong said through gritted teeth.
"What? There are many such masters in front of us?" Tang Seng asked in surprise.
"That's right, Master, there are many monks like the one just now waiting for us, all the way to the entrance of Mahayana Buddhism!" After Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong spoke, he also used his spiritual consciousness to explore.
"Don't be afraid. It is stated on the Buddha sticker that once you are challenged once, you will not be challenged again within fifty years. You can relax." Tang Monk was surprised and said with a smile.
When Sun Wukong and others heard this, they also breathed a sigh of relief. If they were caught like this, they would have spent a lot of time on the road!
However, their relaxed mood disappeared immediately with Sha Wujing's words.
"Master, you are talking about a situation where there is only one Buddha sticker. Now we have seventy-nine Buddha stickers. Even if one person comes to grab the Buddha sticker every day, it will take two and a half months!" Sha Wujing
Said silently.
This sentence immediately stunned Tang Seng and others. They did not expect that such a thing would happen, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
"How about I send them away? If this continues, it will really take us two and a half months to reach Duankong Mountain!" Sun Wukong said unhappily.
"Wukong, don't be impatient. Even if we face their talk about Buddhism every day, it doesn't matter. It just takes a little time, and it's not worth going to war! Moreover, they are acting within the rules, and there is no possibility of us stopping them."
"Otherwise, how will other people look at us and think that we only want to challenge others and cannot let others challenge us?" Tang Monk stopped Sun Wukong and said.
"But Master, do you know how many people are in front of you? There are more than seventy people. At this rate, it will really take us two and a half months to reach Mahayana Buddhism. Don't you find it annoying?" Sun Wukong couldn't help but said.
"No, I really don't mind being a teacher. They have people coming here every day to talk to me about Buddhism. In this way, my teacher's Mahayana Buddhism will make a qualitative leap. When the time comes, I will discuss Buddhism with the Buddha of Mahayana Buddhism.
I have some confidence as a teacher!" Tang Seng said piously.
