I Have a Trillion Merits

As mentioned in the introduction, the West today is still barren, but it is just better than it was during the Lich War.

So it took them such a long time to collect such a small amount of power of faith, which could be condensed into a golden lotus.

But once Buddhism was completely spread eastward, it would take root completely in the fertile land of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

Then spread the Dharma widely, and the rewards they will receive in the future will indeed be much more than this golden lotus of faith.

Jie Yin looked at Zhen Yuanzi in front of him and said with a smile: "These Golden Lotus Beliefs are a gift from me to fellow Taoists. I will ask fellow Taoists to cooperate with you when the time comes."

Zhen Yuanzi looked at the golden lotus of faith floating in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, the sincerity of these two Western saints was indeed sufficient in his opinion.

Hongyun clapped his hands at the side and laughed, saying: "The two junior brothers have spent a lot of money, and they actually took out such a thing, which really surprised the senior brothers!"

Jie Yin smiled and said: "We are just asking for help, how can we not spend some money."

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi accepted the golden lotus of faith in front of him, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said with a smile: "In this case, I will be disrespectful. Thank you two saints."

Zhunti remained silent. After all, in his opinion, it was not worth it to trade his faith in the Golden Lotus to survive such a calamity safely.

But what he said in the previous quotation was reasonable, and he could not find any point of view to refute it.

In this case, this is all that can be done.

Jie Yin said with a smile: "This is what we asked for. Fellow Taoist said it politely. Since fellow Taoist has agreed, we will leave here."

Zhen Yuanzi stood up and said with a smile: "Congratulations to these two saints."

Zhunti left with gloomy eyes, followed closely by Jie Yin, and the two of them drove directly towards the west in the clouds.

Before leaving, they also secretly observed Tang Sanzang's masters and disciples.

After all, in their opinion, the appearance of this old turtle was too strange and had to be guarded against. However, after getting closer, they did not find anything strange.

This made them a little surprised.

After a while, after noticing nothing unusual, they returned directly to Lingshan.

At this moment, only Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun were left in Wuzhuang Temple. Zhen Yuanzi looked at the Golden Lotus of Faith in his hand and couldn't help but smile.

He opened his mouth and said, "Brother Taoist, what is the meaning of watching the two people from the west?"

Hongyun shook his head slightly and said: "The two of them have already set their sights on this land in the east. They want to expand Buddhism."

Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi had a solemn look on his face.

Today's Eastern Buddhism is in decline, and there is still some gap between it and Taoism, but the move of the two Western sages is obviously a big move.

Zhen Yuanzi said: "Then what should I do?"

Hongyun smiled and said, "You don't need to pay attention. You just need to cooperate with them to make fun of them. I will arrange everything."

Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi nodded.

The two chatted for a long time in Wuzhuang Temple before Hongyun left and returned to Penglai Immortal Island to get some of the Three Lights Divine Water and put it into a bottle.

Then he pointed out, opened a crack in the void, and then teleported it directly to Ao Lie.

Tang Sanzang and others, who were repairing not far from Wanshou Mountain, did not notice anything. Ao Lie put away the jade bottle in front of him, and then watched a few people talking and laughing there.

Although he can return to his human body, he still walks as a white dragon horse on weekdays. After all, he has to carry Tang Sanzang on his back.

After hearing Hongyun's instructions, Bai Longma snorted.

Then he said: "Master, there is a Taoist temple on the mountain ahead. It is getting dark now. If we go faster, we should be able to catch up with the Taoist temple and settle down before dark."

Tang Sanzang was happy when he heard this, but then he said: "Buddhism and Taoism have not existed since ancient times. Is it appropriate for us to go to a Taoist temple?"

Hearing this, Lao Yuan said with a smile: "Master, you are wrong. Since the creation of heaven and the Taoist ancestors preaching, even the two Buddhas in the West have listened to the sermons in Zixiao Palace. Strictly speaking, Buddhism can also be regarded as a branch of Taozu."

This was the first time Tang Sanzang heard such secrets, and there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie had a look of nostalgia in their eyes. Although they did not live as long as the old turtle, they still understood some things.

Here, Lao Yuan told Tang Sanzang and others a lot of secrets, and also told some obscure things about several saints.

As evening approached, several people started walking towards Wanshou Mountain.

Arriving at Wanshou Mountain, everyone saw the Wuzhuang Temple. Tang Sanzang and others saw the couplet on the door of the Wuzhuang Temple at a glance: "The Immortal Palace of Immortality, the Taoist Family with the Same Longevity as Heaven."

Tang Sanzang smiled and said: "The master here must be a wonderful person, and someone with such courage must not be an ordinary person."

A group of people had just arrived at Wuzhuang Temple, and it was already getting late. Just as Sun Wukong was about to knock on the door, he saw two boys walking out of Wuzhuang Temple.

It was the two children, Qingfeng and Mingyue.

Tang Sanzang said: "We came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and wanted to go to the west to get the scriptures. When we passed by here, it was getting late, so we wanted to stay overnight."

When Qingfeng and Mingyue heard that they were from the Tang Dynasty in the East and were going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, they immediately remembered Zhen Yuanzi's instructions before retreating.

He immediately said, "My master has gone to Penglai Immortal Island as a guest. Guests, please come in quickly."

It turned out that after Hongyun left, Zhen Yuanzi gave the order directly, saying that he wanted to practice in seclusion. After all, how could he sit still after receiving the golden lotus of Yiduo Belief.

But before retreating, he told the two boys to treat Tang Sanzang's master and disciples well.

You can even treat them to two precious ginseng fruits in the temple.

After all, Western Buddhism has already produced a golden lotus of faith. He cannot be too stingy and must be conscientious.

After the two boys Qingfeng and Mingyue arranged for Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice, they took their things to the orchard to pick ginseng fruits.

After the two picked the ginseng fruits, they carried the ginseng fruits to the main hall. While Sun Wukong and others were out having fun, they secretly brought two ginseng fruits to Tang Sanzang to eat.

At first, when Tang Sanzang heard about ginseng fruit, he thought it was some novel fruit.

He looked around, but when he saw the ginseng fruits in the hands of two children, they were like newborn babies. He was trembling with fright and quickly shook his head and said: "What kind of fruit is this? It's obvious Just two kids, how can they eat this? Take it away quickly, take it away quickly."

Qingfeng and Mingyue heard this and immediately explained: "This is a ginseng fruit, not a baby. Elders can eat it with confidence!"
