"Master, what should we do now?" Sun Wukong asked.
Sun Wukong also wants to understand now. Maybe this is a Buddhist test or something, but they don't know it clearly.
"Alas." Tang Monk sighed and did not answer Sun Wukong's words. Instead, he walked to Ananda and spoke to Ananda with difficulty.
"Ananda Bodhisattva, the young monk is in trouble!"
"Are you sure?" Ananda asked with a smile. Ananda's expression did not change from the beginning.
"Wujing, bring Master's purple gold alms bowl to Ananda Bodhisattva." Tang Monk said to Sha Wujing.
"Ah? Master, this is what Emperor Tang gave you for alchemy, why do you need it?" Sha Wujing said with some reluctance.
Sun Wukong and others all knew the importance of the purple gold alms bowl to Tang Monk, and they did not want the purple gold alms bowl to disappear like this.
"Master, do you want to think about it? I still have a few acquired spiritual treasures on hand. I can just contribute them. Forget this purple gold alms bowl. This is your treasure. How can we ask you to give away your treasure?
"Zhu Bajie said quickly.
"Master, I also have a few acquired spiritual treasures in my hand, which are enough to help others!" Wu Ming also said.
"Master, we got a lot of things on the way here, why must we give him the purple and gold alms bowl." Sun Wukong also objected.
"Okay, don't argue anymore. It's the right thing to do as a teacher. Don't talk anymore. Wujing, give the purple gold alms bowl to Ananda Bodhisattva. Let's take the scriptures and leave. Hurry up, it's late.
Already." Tang Seng interrupted Sun Wukong and the others and said.
In this situation, Sha Wujing couldn't help but reluctantly gave the purple and gold alms bowl to Ananda.
This purple gold alms bowl is just a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure and has little effect.
But this was given by the Tang Emperor to Tang Seng as a beggar, and it was of great significance to Tang Seng.
Sun Wukong and others knew that Tang Seng cared very much about this acquired spiritual treasure, so they all opposed Tang Seng giving this spiritual treasure to Ananda!
"Tang Seng, have you made up your mind?" Ananda looked at Tang Seng and said.
"Little Monk has already thought about it, that's it." Tang Monk nodded and said.
Seeing Ananda take away the purple gold alms bowl, Tang Monk felt reluctant to let go, but still let go.
Afterwards, Ananda took out seventy-two boxes of scriptures again and placed them in front of Tang Monk and his disciples.
"Tang Monk, these are the scriptures you want. The quantity is the same as before. Take a look again." Ananda said with a smile.
Zhu Bajie was not as polite as Tang Seng, so he just opened the box and read the Buddhist scriptures.
When he saw that there were words in the Buddhist scriptures inside, he spoke to Tang Monk.
"Master, look, there are words in this scripture."
Sun Wukong and others opened other boxes one after another to see if there were any words in the scriptures inside.
Sure enough, this time all the scriptures had words, and Sun Wukong and others closed the box with satisfaction.
"Alas, what a pity." Tang Monk said as he looked at the Buddhist scripture with words in his hand.
Zhu Bajie and others didn't quite understand. When Sun Wukong wanted to ask, Tang Seng said to Sha Wujing and Wu Ming.
"Wu Jing, Wu Ming, since there is nothing wrong with the scriptures, you can put them away and let's leave now."
Even if Sun Wukong doesn't get their answer, he won't give up. They have plenty of time to ask.
After Tang Monk said those words, he left the Scripture Collection Pavilion. He didn't want to read the scriptures inside, he was afraid that he would not be able to part with them!
Sha Wujing and Wuming received Tang Seng's order, collected all the scriptures, and followed Tang Seng out of the Scripture Collection Pavilion.
Tang Monk quickly came to the door of Daleiyin Temple, turned around and said to Ananda next to him
"Ananda Bodhisattva, this young monk is eager to return home, so I will say goodbye."
"Tang Monk, we will meet soon. The poor monk is looking forward to your arrival!" Ananda said with his hands clasped together.
After listening to Ananda's words, Tang Seng didn't say anything, but left directly.
Because they took the scriptures, the purpose of their trip was almost fulfilled, and they didn't care about piety and the like.
"Wukong, take me as your master to a city where you can return to Chang'an." Tang Monk said after leaving the Great Leiyin Temple.
"Master, don't you have to walk now?" Sun Wukong asked in surprise.
"Didn't we get the scriptures now? Why do we still need to care about those." Tang Seng said nonchalantly.
Since Tang Seng himself said this, Sun Wukong would naturally not refute, he had already wanted to do this!
Immediately, Sun Wukong picked up Tang Monk and arrived at a large city at the foot of Mount Xumi. The teleportation array here could instantly teleport them back to Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhu Bajie and the others soon followed. Except for Bai Longma who was slower, the others were able to keep up with Sun Wukong.
After all, this distance is too short!
"Master, should we rest for a night now, or should we directly do the teleportation array and go back to Chang'an?" Sun Wukong asked.
"Take a rest one night first. Master, I want to prepare well. If you have any questions, I will answer them for you today before leaving." Tang Seng said.
After finding an inn and settling in, Tang Seng said.
"Okay, now you can ask whatever you want."
"Master, do Ananda's words have any profound meaning?" Sun Wukong asked directly.
"Do you also have such questions to ask?" Tang Seng did not answer Sun Wukong, but looked at Zhu Bajie and the others and asked.
"Yes, Master, those wordless scriptures should be related to the personal affairs between the two of you." Zhu Bajie nodded and said.
"Yes, there is a connection here, a big connection." Tang Seng nodded and said.
"Actually, you don't understand Buddhism, so you didn't understand Bodhisattva Ananda's words at first. My teacher thought about it for a while before he was a little sure. In the end, it was only after seeing the wordless Buddhist scriptures that he was really sure of Bodhisattva Ananda's intention."
After saying this, Tang Monk stopped. Seeing that Sun Wukong and others were listening to him attentively, he also smiled and said again.
"When Ananda Bodhisattva first asked us for personnel, I was angry in my heart, but I thought that Ananda Bodhisattva should have no shortage of personnel. After thinking about it, I almost understood Ananda Bodhisattva's intention. This is to ask my teacher.
Have you seen through the world and let go of your past and future affairs?”
"As you know my teacher's answer at that time, there was no human matter. This means that my teacher has seen through the world, let go of everything, and is ready to become a Buddha. He has reached a state where there is nothing and no dust."
"When you reach this level, you can clearly understand the contents of any Buddhist scriptures, you can even quickly understand the meaning of the Buddhist scriptures, and you can quickly master the Buddhist teachings in the Buddhist scriptures."
"So Ananda Bodhisattva handed over the wordless sutra to his teacher. This wordless sutra is the real Buddhist sutra. It is said that the Dharma cannot be said or obtained. This is the truth. Only truly eminent monks can learn from this wordless sutra.
Only when you read the true Buddhist scriptures can you be qualified to learn Buddhism!"
"This is the true meaning of Ananda Bodhisattva's first sentence about whether there are people or not. I only really determined what the Bodhisattva meant after reading the wordless sutra. It's a pity that I can't understand this wordless sutra."
"It's such a pity." Tang Seng still said with regret.
"Why? Master, since you only need the wordless sutras to understand the Buddhist scriptures inside, why do you need to give the purple gold alms bowl to Ananda in exchange for the literal sutras?" Zhu Bajie asked confused.
.
"Yes, Master, isn't there something wrong with doing this? From what you're saying, it seems that those scriptures without words are better than those with words. Why did you do that?" Wu Ming didn't understand either.
"As a teacher, this is an uncontrollable decision!" Tang Seng sighed again.
