"Oh, Wukong, I am not a cultivator, so I don't know the difference between you cultivators. But I have also heard Bajie and Wuming say many times that you cannot stop the power of Buddha now.
Master, I hope you will think twice before acting." Tang Seng finally advised.
"Master, I understand what you said, but they don't know my strength either, so you will know how I behave in the end. Now, no matter how much I say, you still don't believe it, and I don't want to say it anymore.
"
"Master, now let's think about when to return to the Tang Dynasty. It has been decades since our trip. It's time for us to go back, otherwise everyone will forget you." Sun Wukong said with a smile.
Tang Seng and the others knew that Sun Wukong was trying to change the subject, but they couldn't deny that Sun Wukong's words were right.
Regardless of the first half or the second half of Sun Wukong's sentence, what Sun Wukong said was correct, so Tang Monk had no choice but to say it.
"Since you have made your decision, I will no longer persuade you. Now is the time for us to get the purpose of our trip!" Tang Monk said.
Even Tang Monk couldn't persuade Sun Wukong, and Zhu Bajie and the others were even more hopeless, so they had no choice but to follow Sun Wukong.
"Wu Jing, you go and clean up. We are going to ask the Buddha for Buddhist scriptures now. Once we get the Buddhist scriptures, we will go back immediately." Tang Monk said.
"It's Master." Sha Wujing quickly went to pack his luggage.
This time they thought they would stay for a while, but they didn't expect Tang Seng to be so determined, but they didn't have much luggage to pack.
After a while, Sha Wujing packed his luggage, and Tang Monk and his disciples got ready and set off towards the Main Hall.
As soon as they left the courtyard gate, Master Tang Seng and his disciples saw Ananda Bodhisattva coming. Tang Seng hurriedly packed his bags and said.
"We pay homage to Ananda Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva has come just in time. We want to see the Buddha now. Is it possible?"
"Amitabha, I wonder why Monk Tang you want to see the Buddha?" Ananda asked with his hands in place.
"Back to Bodhisattva, it has been a long time since the poor monk came out of Chang'an. Now the poor monk does not want to wait for a moment. The poor monk wants to get the Buddhist scriptures and return to Chang'an as soon as possible. When the poor monk sees the Buddha, he is ready to say goodbye to the Buddha. And we also want to get the Buddhist scriptures now. Poor monk
The monk and others want to leave today." Tang Seng said without concealing it.
"If this is the case, Monk Tang, you don't have to go see the Buddha. The Buddha has already told you that if you want Buddhist scriptures, Monk Tang, I can change them for you. But if you want to see the Buddha, there is no need.
"Ananda said with a smile.
"That's a pity. The poor monk still wants to see the Buddha again. Since the Buddha has given instructions, the poor monk no longer asks for extravagant things. He also asks the Bodhisattva to give the poor monk Buddhist scriptures so that the poor monk can go back to Chang'an and let people appreciate the pure Buddhist scriptures and Dharma."
Tang Seng said sadly.
"This is the poor monk's job. Please come with the poor monk." Ananda smiled and asked the poor monk to go to the Sutra Pavilion of the Great Leiyin Temple.
After arriving at the Sutra Collection Pavilion, he saw that it was just a Sutra Collection Pavilion. It was very grand, with nine floors, and the area was as big as the largest temple in Chang'an City. Tang Monk could not imagine how many Buddhist scriptures there were in it.
Tang Seng himself was very excited when he thought that they could get many Buddhist scriptures.
Just when Tang Monk was about to follow Ananda into the Sutra-Tiding Pavilion, Ananda suddenly turned around and asked Tang Monk with a smile.
"Tang Monk, is there anyone?"
Hearing this, Tang Seng and his disciples were very shocked. They did not expect that the majestic Daluo Jinxian Bodhisattva would be so philistine.
Tang Monk and others have been in the world for many years, but they do not understand the implication of Ananda Bodhisattva. He is asking them for offerings, money or other things.
Zhu Bajie and others knew that Buddhism was very poor, but they did not dare to ask for donations from the protagonists like them. They were very angry in their hearts.
Sun Wukong, on the other hand, couldn't stand Buddhism. When he saw this situation, he wanted to capture Ananda and question the Medicine Master and the others.
So Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and others reached an agreement in an instant and prepared to capture Ananda!
Just when Sun Wukong and others wanted to catch Ananda, they went to the Main Hall to ask if all the monks of the Great Thunder Sound Temple were acting like this!
At this time, Tang Seng woke up from his anger, stopped Sun Wukong and others, looked at Ananda and said.
"Return to the Bodhisattva's words and make no offerings."
Tang Monk had just thought that this was a Bodhisattva, an eminent monk who did not eat fireworks, and he should not behave like this.
Suddenly he thought of the saying about where Buddhism caused dust, and thought that it was Ananda Bodhisattva or the Buddha who was inspecting them.
That's when he said those words.
As for whether he was being inspected, Tang Seng wanted to take a closer look later.
"Okay, very good." Ananda said with a smile, and then he went in and took Tang Monk and others to the box they had prepared long ago, and said again.
"This is the Buddhist scriptures you want. There are seventy-two volumes, a total of 365 scriptures, all here. Do you want to order some?"
"Of course it's important. Otherwise, if we are deceived by some shameless people, wouldn't our trip be in vain?" Zhu Bajie choked before Tang Seng could speak.
Although Tang Seng made a guess, he didn't know whether his guess was correct, and he didn't stop Zhu Bajie from checking.
After hearing Zhu Bajie's words, Ananda didn't say anything, but just looked at the actions of Tang Seng and his disciples with a smile.
Zhu Bajie didn't hesitate, he opened a box and took out a Buddhist scripture. Once he opened it, Zhu Bajie was furious!
"What's the matter, Bajie?" Seeing Zhu Bajie's expression change, Tang Seng asked.
"Master, ask him what's wrong! What he gave us is a fake Buddhist scripture. It has no words at all. It's just a heavenly book without words!" Zhu Bajie yelled at Ananda while holding the Buddhist scriptures from Tang Monk.
"What?" Sun Wukong and others shouted in shock and hurriedly came over to check.
Tang Monk directly picked up the Buddhist scriptures given to him by Zhu Bajie and looked at them, while Sun Wukong and his friends opened other boxes to see what the Buddhist scriptures inside were like.
Not surprisingly, the Buddhist scriptures inside are all blank sheets of paper without any ink. They are just wordless heavenly books!
Sun Wukong and others were furious, waiting for Ananda to look at him with tiger eyes, and then asked Tang Monk.
"Master, what should we do now? Do you want me to take down this money-hungry Bodhisattva? Let's go to the Mahavira Hall to ask the pharmacist to see what good deeds his disciples have done!"
They stared at Ananda, but received no answer from Tang Seng. However, Ananda was not panicked at all. From the beginning to the end, he faced Tang Seng and his disciples with a smile on his face!
"Master, what do you think of Brother Monkey's suggestion? Should we act now? We have evidence in hand!" Zhu Bajie asked again without hearing Tang Seng's answer.
They stared at Ananda with their spiritual consciousness. They turned around and saw Tang Monk looking at the wordless heavenly book in his hand with an entranced look on his face. They were very confused in their hearts.
Finally, Sun Wukong realized something was wrong, came over, shook Tang Monk and said.
"Master, wake up?"
"Ah, oh, it turns out to be Wukong, what's wrong with you?" Tang Monk woke up and asked.
"Master, don't these scriptures have no words? Why are you so fascinated by them? Is there something fishy in them?" Sun Wukong asked.
"This is indeed a wordless heavenly book, but it is also a real Buddhist scripture. You can't see the content of the Buddhist scripture inside, but I can see it, so I know that this is a real Buddhist scripture!" Tang Monk touched the scripture in his hand and said
.
This result caught Sun Wukong and others off guard. They did not expect such a result!
"Master, what should we do now?" Sun Wukong asked.
