Chapter 45 What is a saint? Tongtian No.1
However, it is said that Zhen Yuanzi and Sun Wukong are masters of the three worlds. At the beginning, Zhen Yuanzi was very disdainful of Sun Wukong's ignorance. But after talking for a long time, I found that Sun Wukong's surname was not bad, so I put away my contempt and explained it to Sun Wukong in detail. The more people talked, the deeper they talked, and they gradually touched the saint. Finally, when Zhen Yuanzi talked about Zhou Tianxing's array, he mentioned the name of Tongtian. After hearing this, Sun Wukong hurriedly opened his mouth to ask.
When Zhen Yuanzi saw Sun Wukong asking, he was slightly hesitant. He thought that the Buddha's mother had never mentioned these secrets to Sun Wukong, which might have a deep meaning. He has said so much today, I'm afraid he has offended the Buddha's mother. If even the saints say it, I'm afraid that the Buddha's mother will take action immediately. Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi was a little hesitant and didn't know whether to tell these secrets to the Monkey King.
In fact, the Buddha's mother did not tell these secrets to the Monkey King, which really has another deep meaning. You should know that although the Monkey King has not been born for a long time, his surname is extremely arrogant. He is afraid that the Buddha's mother will say too much and hit Sun Wukong, which is secret. However, at this time, Zhen Yuanzi did not have to worry about it. After being pressed by Sakyamuni Buddha for five hundred years at the foot of the Five-line Mountain, the Monkey King honed his surname a lot. Coupled with these ears and eyes, although the arrogant surname was there, he was no longer as blindly arrogant as before.
Therefore, even if Zhen Yuanzi said something, the Buddha's mother would not blame him.
At this time, when Sun Wukong saw that Zhen Yuanzi was hesitant, he was very surprised and asked, "Why didn't the Taoist priest say it?" Is it true that this Tongtian Master is a great person? Speaking of this, Sun Wukong lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then suddenly said, "The Taoist priest seems to have said before that the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit and others are the sitting disciples of this Tongtian Master. It turns out that the master of Tongtian is their master! The apprentice is still so powerful that the master must be extraordinary.
Zhen Yuanzi listened to Sun Wukong's words and measured it in his heart. Finally, he said truthfully, "The Lord of Heaven is a saint, and he is extraordinary."
Sun Wukong listened, was slightly stunned and asked, "Sage? Who is the saint?
Zhen Yuanzi glanced at the Monkey King faintly and replied, "The saint is a kind of realm of our monks, and it is also the supreme realm."
Hearing this, Sun Wukong hurriedly continued to ask, "I don't know how many people have cultivated the realm of saints? Who are they?
Zhen Yuanzi listened and lowered his head and thought, "Since it has been said, what are you afraid of? Let's talk about the whole name of Suo. Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi was sure in his heart, and then said, "Since ancient times, there are eight capable people who have cultivated the realm of saints, but one of them finally fits the way of heaven. Therefore, there are only seven saints now. They are Laozi, the leader of the people's religion, the primitive Tianzun, the master of the Jiejiao religion, Tongtian, the master of Buddhism, Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha's mother, and the Empress Dowager and Nuwa.
When Sun Wukong heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "I didn't expect that there were two saints in my Buddhism. It seems that the first religion in the three worlds will be my Buddhism soon after." After saying that, Sun Wukong was overjoyed and scratched his ears and cheeks.
Seeing this, Zhu Bajie, who was beside him, curled his lips disdainfully and thought to himself, "The first religion in the three worlds? Be your spring and autumn dream! The leader of our religion is the first disciple of the Taoist ancestors and the eldest brother of the saints, but hasn't he been beaten so badly by the interception? With you waiting for the barbarian religion, you still want to be the first. It's simply not self-immetrical. Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't show anything on his face, just a simple and honest look.
And Zhen Yuanzi listened to the words of the Monkey King and was also slightly disdainful. Although he had never seen the battle of the saints, he could easily guess the strength of the saints according to some clues he obtained, coupled with the power of today's interception. Moreover, it is not only his Buddhism that has two saints. Tongtian and Houtu have a deep brother-sister relationship, and the two of them can be said to be in charge of the same teaching. Although Laozi and the original two are separated, they have always been good friends and do not distinguish between each other. Therefore, the two of them are also in the same group.
In such detail, the seven saints of the flood famine have six people with each other, belonging to the three major forces, only Nuwa Niangniangniang alone, who has never united with anyone. In this way, the advantage of one religion and two saints in Buddhism is that they are gone, just for a good reputation.
At present, after Sun Wukong was complacent for a while, he saw that Zhen Yuanzi did not say a word, so he asked, "Why didn't the Taoist priest talk?" Could it be that my grandson said something wrong?
Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Zhu Bajie and said, "Marshal Tianpeng knows a lot about this matter. The Great Sage asked him to go." After saying that, he just closed his eyes and meditated.
Zhu Bajie listened to Zhen Yuanzi's words, but he was stunned. After he came to his senses, he hurriedly refused, but he saw that Zhen Yuanzi's eyes were closed and he no longer opened his mouth. Seeing this, Zhu Bajie turned to the Monkey King, but before he could speak, he heard the Monkey King ask, "Since Bajie knows, why don't you say it earlier! Come and say it to me quickly."
Hearing this, Zhu Bajie smiled bitterly and scolded secretly, "Well, you Zhen Yuanzi, you are so crafty. It's really unreasonable to push things on my old pig!"
At this time, when Sun Wukong saw that Zhu Bajie didn't say a word, he urged, "Idiot, speak quickly!"
Zhu Bajie had no choice but to say, "Brother, although there are two saints in Buddhism, they are not invincible. You should know that even saints have three or six or nine points of strength, and the saints are more connected with each other, so the advantage of two saints in Buddhism is offset.
Hearing this, Sun Wukong frowned and asked, "Do other saints also have alliances? What exactly are the alliances?
Zhu Bajie lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then replied, "People's education and interpretation have always been good friends, and Laozi saints and primitive saints have always been advancing and retreating together. Therefore, these two saints are united. Speaking of this, Zhu Bajie kept meditate in his heart, "Master, forgive me!" The master forgive me!" Then he continued, "The saint of Tongtian and the queen are brothers and sisters. The relationship between the two is also very close. It is not too much to say that they are a union. Only Nuwa has been alone.
Sun Wukong listened to Zhu Bajie's account, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said, "So that's it. No wonder there are two saints in Buddhism who can't become the first religion in the three worlds."
When Zhu Bajie heard Sun Wukong's words, he was immediately a little unhappy. Didn't Sun Wukong's words say that if the other three religions had not been united, he would not be a Buddhist opponent? This made Zhu Bajie teach his disciples how to be happy. Therefore, Zhu Bajie shouted, "Even if the saints have not united, it is difficult for Buddhism to win the first place." After saying that, Zhu Bajie suddenly felt refreshed, but he immediately regretted it.
After Sun Wukong heard Zhu Bajie's words, he asked doubtfully, "Why did Bajie say this? If those saints were not afraid of the two saints of my Buddhism, how would they unite?
When Zhu Bajie heard this, he was immediately furious. The feeling of regret had just been left behind and said rudely, "There are also highs and lows. The two Buddhist saints are ranked by the latter among all the saints. Amitabha Buddha is better. The Buddha's mother can be said to be the end of all saints. Even if other saints are not united, it is difficult for the two saints of Buddhism to gain the upper hand.
Sun Wukong was very unhappy when he heard this, but he also knew that his knowledge was not as good as Zhu Bajie, so he had to bear it silently.
After a moment of meditation, Sun Wukong asked again, "So how are the strength of these saints ranked?"
Zhu Bajie was very embarrassed when he heard this. This was a matter involving his ancestor, and he naturally did not dare to comment. At this moment, Zhu Bajie suddenly saw Zhen Yuanzi, who was meditated with his eyes closed. His eyes suddenly brightened, and then he turned to Sun Wukong and said, "Brother, I don't know about this matter, but the Taoist priest Zhenyuan must know a lot." After saying that, he looked at Zhen Yuanzi with a gloating face.
And Zhen Yuanzi was shocked when he heard Zhu Bajie's words. Knowing that Zhu Bajie must have been a revenge for him, as soon as he wanted to refuse, he heard Sun Wukong ask, "In this way, please ask the Taoist priest for advice."
Seeing this situation, Zhen Yuanzi was very helpless and said, "I don't know much about this matter. The Great Sage should wait until later, but ask others."
Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, "The Taoist priest is welcome. The Taoist priest only needs to say what he knows. Even if there is an error, my grandson will not blame you."
Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi was speechless and said secretly, "What 'error'! What 'blame'! If the poor man talked about this, wouldn't he offend all the saints? Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi shook his head firmly and said, "Great Sage, I really don't know that the Great Sage is a Buddhist. After that, I will see the two saints of Buddhism. At that time, I can ask each other. Why should I be in a hurry for a while?"
Sun Wukong listened, but ignored it and continued, "My grandson is not a fool! The Taoist priest just said and did something. Obviously, he knew something, but why didn't he tell my grandson? Now there are only four people including me. Although my two younger brothers can't be regarded as mouth-keepers, they are not like those long-tongued women. If you talk like this and get into my ears, you will never be heard by the fifth person. What's the Taoist priest's concern?
Zhen Yuanzi listened and scolded in his heart, "How can you monkey know the divine power of a saint!" So he made up his mind and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong had to use the method of pestering people again to make Zhen Yuanzi so bored. Finally, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't be entangled and said hesitantly, "The poor way can only tell you that the seven saints seem to be the strongest, and it is not convenient to talk about the other poor way." After saying that, Zhen Yuanzi closed his eyes again and made up his mind to ignore Sun Wukong.
And Sun Wukong listened to Zhen Yuanzi's words and muttered, "Master Tongtian? Interception? Intercept the master of Tongtian?" With that, Sun Wukong seemed to suddenly realize and said, "So, it's no wonder that Jiejiao is the first in the three worlds. With the strongest saints and so many strong disciples, it is also right to be the first in the three worlds." After saying that, Sun Wukong looked at Zhen Yuanzi and wanted to ask again, but he saw that Zhen Yuanzi had closed his eyes and said no words.
When Sun Wukong saw this, he didn't want to pester him. As the saying goes, it can be one or two. If he continues, he will definitely make Zhen Yuanzi unhappy. Sun Wukong's image of Zhen Yuanzi, the person who solved his puzzles, is not bad, so he doesn't want to embarrass him. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "The Taoist priest doesn't have to do this. My grandson promises that he won't ask you about the saint again. I'd better talk about something else later."
Zhen Yuanzi heard this, slowly opened his eyes, and said with a wry smile, "Great Sage, forgive me, saints are not what we can talk about at will. Only saints can talk about saints, but we talk about them is disrespectful to saints. Everything else is fine, but some topics are too **. It's better for me not to touch them.
Hearing this, Sun Wukong frowned. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Zhen Yuanzi looking at himself with embarrassment. Seeing this situation, Sun Wukong sighed in his heart and nodded, "Since the Taoist priest said so, my grandson will naturally not force others. I'll talk about something else later."
