Chapter 214 Tang Monk, Tathagata, and Jin Chanzi

Bai Ze asked Ying Lao in his heart: “Teacher, I have been traveling with Tang Seng for a long time, and I don’t think there is anything wrong with him. Although he is a little pedantic, he is generally a good person.

There is no demonic aura on him, and no one dares to take away his body, the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada. “

Master Ying said: “I can’t see through it, I can’t see through it. I can’t see through this Tang Monk’s followers either.

But I can speculate.

Now that I think about it, it is no ordinary thing for him to become the core of the journey to the West.

Just look at the backgrounds of the people around him who are protecting him and you will understand.

Do you really think he is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi?”

Bai Ze said: “Teacher, are you saying that Tang Monk is not the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi?”

Old Ying laughed and said, “If I hadn’t seen this baby today, I would still be kept in the dark. Is he the reincarnation of a bullshit Golden Cicada?
Who is Jin Chanzi? “

Bai Ze said: “Isn’t he the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha, a senior monk who has practiced for ten lifetimes?”

Master Ying said: “Golden Immortals and Saints are often tens of thousands of years old, do you think practicing for ten lifetimes is that amazing?
Furthermore, you are a disciple of Guanyin and have a good understanding of Buddhism.

Who are the ten great disciples of Tathagata?”

Bai Ze said: “Shariputra, Maudgalyayana, Mahakasyapa, Aniruddha… and so on!”

Bai Ze suddenly discovered something unusual. Among the ten great disciples of Tathagata, there was no Jin Chanzi!
So how did Jin Chanzi come to be the second disciple of Tathagata?

Bai Ze said: “So, teacher, what do you think is going on?”

Ying Laodao: “Tang Monk is Tathagata!”

“What?”

Bai Ze was so frightened this time that he almost knocked over the porridge he was drinking with everyone.

Huang Niu beside him said, “Are you okay, Bai Ze?
“I’m fine, I’m fine.”

Bai Ze held a bowl of porridge in his arms, away from the crowd, ready to concentrate on talking to Mr. Ying in his mind.

He found a deserted place and began to ask, “Teacher, do you think Tang Seng is Tathagata?”

Master Ying said: “If this Tang Monk had not given birth to a son, I would never have discovered this secret, but he gave birth to such a son who is a Buddha or Bodhisattva, haha, his identity is self-evident.

Think about it, can Jin Chanzi give birth to a little Buddha?”

Bai Ze shook his head and said, “That shouldn’t be possible. Even if Jin Chanzi is a reincarnated monk, he can’t give birth to a little Buddha, right?”

Master Ying said: “It turns out that the so-called Jin Chanzi is the second disciple of Tathagata, and the real meaning is Tathagata’s second.

Among Tathagata’s disciples, whether the ten great disciples or the five monks who initially followed him to attain enlightenment, there was not one named Jin Chanzi.

This is a way to escape from the shell!”

Bai Ze said: “The second disciple of Tathagata, is he the second Tathagata?

“Golden Cicada, is it a golden cicada escaping from its shell?”

Ying Laodao said: “Yes, this Tang Monk is Tathagata, but Tang Monk himself probably doesn’t know it.”

Bai Ze asked, “Are you saying that Tang Seng himself doesn’t know that he is Tathagata?”

Master Ying said: “Of course he doesn’t know. I’m afraid that in the Three Realms, apart from Tathagata himself, no one else knows about this.

Why did Jiang Liuer suddenly stop loving his wife and become a monk?

How could he obtain the status of the leader of the journey to the West, which was difficult for even the great men in the world to obtain, by practicing for just ten lifetimes?
After Tang Seng obtains the Buddhist scriptures, he will surely become a Buddha. Tang Seng is Tathagata’s backup.”

Bai Ze said: “You mean Tang Seng is Tathagata’s clone, and Tathagata deliberately separated this clone from himself and did not retain any memory?

However, if such a fragmented body is recovered, it would be fine. But if it is not recovered after becoming a saint or a Buddha, wouldn’t it become a completely separate individual?
What benefit would that bring to Tathagata?”

Master Ying said: “Do you think such a thing will really happen? You just went to Lingyun Ferry, don’t you understand?
When Tang Seng has gone through 81 trials and tribulations and has accomplished all his merits, he will step onto the bottomless boat of Lingyun Ferry. His mortal body as Jiang Liuer will be washed away, and the remaining true spirit will be Tathagata himself!

The true spirit becomes a Buddha, and the mortal body is washed away.”

“This…” Bai Ze was surprised. He didn’t expect that the arrangement of Tathagata Buddha was so clever. He was really the second Tathagata, escaping from the shell.

This kind of clever arrangement will never be noticeable no matter whether you are a born or acquired master.

Tathagata arranged for himself to have a clone to become a Buddha!
Then everything makes sense. Why did Tang Seng, who didn’t seem like the protagonist, become the core of the journey to the West?

It turns out that everything was arranged by the Buddha, just to gild himself and leave himself a way out.

Bai Ze looked at Tang Monk standing by the campfire in the distance and couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh, “He’s just a puppet. When his true spirit becomes a Buddha, you will be washed away.”

“Forget it, when Jiang Liu’er is washed down, I’ll go and fish him out.”

When this clone was used up, it rushed into the Tongtian River through Lingyun Ferry, and was finally shattered by the turbulent current and turned into nutrients for the large rivers.

It really is done without anyone noticing.

It’s just a pity for Tang Seng, who has lived his whole life arranged by others. If he knew the truth, I wonder if he would collapse?

After one night, everyone had to separate again. Naturally, the Queen of the Kingdom of Women could not follow the group, and she could not return to her Kingdom of Women.

After all, the Queen of the Kingdom of Daughters has already become a disciple of Lingshan, so what would happen if one more person showed up?

Therefore, Bai Ze planned to take her back to Baihu Ridge, visit her mother on the way, and arrange the Queen of the Kingdom of Women in Baihu Ridge.

When they were leaving, the Queen of the Kingdom of Women held the little Tang Monk in her arms and asked, “Before you leave, can you hold him for a moment?”

“This……”

Tang Seng was a little at a loss.

Bajie cheered on the side: “Yes, Master, just hug him. After all, you are the father of the child.”

Monk Sha said, “Yes, Master, we don’t know whether we will be able to meet in the future, so you should just hug him.”

“it is good!”

Tang Seng felt his blood boiling, it was the feeling of blood connection. He took the baby from the Queen of the Kingdom of Women.

The baby looked at him with a smile.

At this moment, Tang Seng also laughed. He touched the baby’s soft and tender face with his fingers and said, “I hope you grow up well!”

Bai Ze said, “How about the elder give this child a name?”

Everyone looked at Tang Seng, who hesitated for a moment and said, “My name is Tang Sanzang, so he has one less character than me, so let’s call him Tang San.”

Bai Ze asked, “Are you going to give him the Buddha’s Wrath Lotus?

Or should we send him to Douluo Continent?”

“What is that?” Tang Seng and everyone else were puzzled.

“Nothing, nothing.” Bai Ze said repeatedly. It was really the name that Tang Seng gave to the child that confused Bai Ze.

“Haha, Tang San, little Tang San.”

Everyone in the pilgrimage group was happy that the child had a name, and they all rushed to hold him.

The Queen of the Kingdom of Women was also very happy. This was simply the perfect ending in her mind. Her child survived and was healthy. The child’s father even gave the child a name. This was such a happy thing.

Bai Ze said: “Let’s go, it’s almost time.”

At Bai Ze’s reminder, the Queen of the Kingdom of Women took the child from the crowd and then stepped onto the flying boat.

The Queen of the Kingdom of Daughters held the child’s hand and said, “Hurry, say goodbye to Daddy!”

The child was speechless and babbled a few times as he said goodbye to Tang Seng.

Tang Seng stretched out a hand stiffly, waved it unnaturally, and managed to squeeze out a word from his throat: “Goodbye.”

In this way, Bai Ze bid farewell to Tang Seng and others, and took the Queen of the Kingdom of Daughters to Baihu Ridge.
