Liu Boqin was not an ignorant person, especially since the Water and Land Assembly had caused such a stir.
Many people had heard that the Great Buddhist Monk of the Tang Dynasty's Water and Land Assembly had transformed into a demonic monk, delivering many Buddhas and Arhats.
Liu Boqin originally didn't believe it. What bad intentions could a monk have?
But last night, watching Tang Sanzang, like a wild man, waving a python and chasing a striped tiger, finally strangling the tiger to death, Liu Boqin began to doubt his life.
Is this Tang Sanzang… the 'Zang' as in burial?
In fact, Tang Sanzang didn't originally have such great abilities, but because he was persuaded by Chu Hao to drink those few cups of wine last night, his strength had at least reached the standard of an ordinary cultivator.
Those were all fine wines used by demon kings to entertain other demon kings. One could imagine how abundant the spiritual power within was.
Now, Tang Sanzang, let alone a striped tiger, could beat three or five Liu Boqins without a problem.
Chu Hao also felt that this was a bit outrageous.
After all, the original intention of the Western Paradise was to have Tang Sanzang be a human, and only by going to the Western Journey in the state of an ordinary person could he obtain sufficient merit.
Otherwise, wouldn't it have been better to directly let Jin Chanzi fly over?
But now, under Chu Hao's persuasion, Tang Sanzang drank some good wine and gained a little cultivation. Although he couldn't beat mountain spirits and wild monsters, he could take down ordinary tigers and beasts with one punch!
Tang Sanzang was probably going to physically deliver people all the way!
Liu Boqin said:
"This place is far from any village or shop. Elder, why not come home with me? I happen to have some vegetarian dishes that you can enjoy."
Tang Sanzang waved his hand,
"Eh, what's the need for vegetarian dishes? This monk has his own ingredients, bowls, and chopsticks!"
Then Tang Sanzang grabbed the dead tiger and waved his hand,
"Let's go! Does the Tai Bao's home have pots and pans that this monk can borrow?"
Tang Sanzang was now a bit addicted to the taste. Last night's wine gave him strength all over!
And now, seeing this striped tiger, Tang Sanzang was also a little greedy.
Liu Boqin's expression was extremely strange. Were monks these days so wild?
But Liu Boqin simply thought Tang Sanzang was joking. After all, Liu Boqin had never seen a virtuous monk who ate meat.
Tang Sanzang, holding a Zen staff in one hand and dragging the tiger in the other, cleared the way in front, opening mountains and killing beasts, physically delivering them.
Liu Boqin led the horse, obediently following beside him. They walked along the hillside, and suddenly saw a manor.
He held a fork in one hand and dragged the tiger in the other, leading the way in front. Sanzang led the horse, following behind, walking along the hillside, and suddenly saw a manor.
Tang Sanzang arrived outside Liu Boqin's house and threw the dead tiger in front of the door.
Before he could even shout, the people inside saw Tang Sanzang throw down such a large striped tiger and were so frightened that they huddled together, trembling.
"Damn, this is too fierce, right?!"
"Where did this monk come from?"
"We're finished. Will we be delivered?"
Liu Boqin was embarrassed,
"You bunch of idiots, this is a virtuous monk who has come from afar from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the Great Buddhist Monk. Show some respect!"
Tang Sanzang put his hands together,
"Amitabha, this monk is hungry."
Tang Sanzang looked at the striped tiger on the ground with saliva dripping, almost writing 'I want to eat' on his face.
Liu Boqin twitched his lips.
Tang Sanzang didn't hesitate: "Of course! Your old mother's Buddhism is useless. This monk's is more powerful!"
Liu Boqin thought, although Tang Sanzang was violent, he should be a virtuous monk who could preside over the Water and Land Assembly. He should be able to tell his old mother some proper Buddhist teachings, right?
And then…
He saw Tang Sanzang very solemnly say to the elderly and devout Old Mother Liu:
"Old lady, our Buddhist family emphasizes that wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart! Wine and meat are great things!"
"We have a secret recipe for cultivating Buddhism: no destruction, no establishment, constant cultivation, constant renewal! You must always try to break the red tape in the Buddhist scriptures. Those are actually the tests that the Buddha left for us…"
"Come, let me tell you the meaning of the Eight Precepts of Buddhism. Others are not allowed to kill me, not allowed to steal from me, not allowed to sleep with me, not allowed to lie to me, not allowed to not let me drink… The Eight Precepts of Buddhism are not my precepts, but the precepts of all living beings!"
"…"
Liu Boqin listened from the side with a look of astonishment, as if enlightened.
"Ah? So this is the true supreme Buddhism?!"
"Low EQ Buddhism: The Eight Precepts of Buddhism are about not violating the precepts yourself;"
"High EQ Buddhism: Young man, if you dare to violate my precepts, you're looking for death!"
"No wonder I always felt that the Elder was different. It turns out that the Elder's Buddhism has become so profound that he has glimpsed the mysteries of Buddhism."
"Master, I understand!"
While speaking, they didn't realize that it was getting late. The servants set out tables and benches, and put several plates of well-cooked tiger meat on them. Boqin invited Sanzang to use it temporarily, and then prepared another meal.
Sanzang put his palms together and said: "Good, good. Why doesn't your mother come and eat vegetarian food together?"
Liu Boqin nodded, and there was even a compassionate expression on his face, obviously because he had also understood.
So the three of them sat together, eating meat and drinking wine.
Tang Sanzang hugged a roasted cumin-flavored tiger trotter, eating with a flushed face.
"Very good, very good!"
"I feel that the Buddha has come. As expected of an Elder who can preside over the Water and Land Assembly, this Buddhism is awesome and has immediate results."
"It's in my stomach, it's in my stomach! I feel that the Buddha is in my stomach!"
"Hahahaha! This monk has already expelled the Buddha once, this time he must pull the Buddha out!"
"This old woman also feels that the Buddha in her belly is smiling, it turns out that the old woman's previous cultivation of Buddhism was crooked, this is the right way!"
The elderly old mother had been eating vegetarian food for a long time, and her nutrition couldn't keep up, but today's meal made Old Mother Liu understand.
Eating vegetarian food all day long without any oil, who has the strength to chant scriptures?
The Buddha doesn't want that either, he also needs someone to chant scriptures.
How many scriptures can be chanted after eating this big tiger kidney? Compared to eating vegetarian food, it's definitely more cost-effective!
The Buddha must also think so.
After everyone enjoyed the meal, they each went to do what they had to do with the Buddha, and then went back to work.
However, Liu Boqin's old mother had some good friends who all yearned for Buddhism.
Old Mother Liu felt that, just as Tang Sanzang said, don't be stingy about sharing this supreme Buddhism, let everyone be illuminated by Buddhism!
Such good Buddhism must be shared with everyone, not kept to oneself!
So, after Old Mother Liu finished eating, she quickly ran out and told the old partners in the village about the new Buddhism she had learned.
One person told ten, ten told a hundred, and the whole village was filled with a happy atmosphere. Everyone learned this supreme Buddhism.
Chu Hao looked at it from the outside with a strange expression,
Only because:
【Congratulations, your Buddhism has been promoted, and you have obtained one point of merit and wish power!】
Good fellow, is this wish power and merit mine?
