Shachen said: "My heart is devoted to Taoism, and I have no connection with Buddha. Master, please go on your way."
He rejected Xuanzang's proposal without hesitation.
Successful outcome?
Just an Arhat.
Xuanzang did not force it, but looked up at the sky and sighed, "I don't know why my disciple hasn't come back yet. Forget it, Buddha waits for no one, so I will go on my own."
Then, he went west by himself.
When Shachen saw him walking away, he dived back into the water contentedly.
Xuanzang had not walked far when he suddenly saw a Taoist temple. There was a Taoist priest in the temple who was very polite to him.
Because he had met Taoist priests with great accomplishments several times before, Xuanzang had a very good impression of Taoist priests.
This time was no exception, and there was no defense.
After drinking three cups of tea, he was poisoned.
Then.
He was eaten.
The Taoist priest revealed the centipede demon's true form and ate him until not even a bone was left.
Then he began to meditate. After three days, he frowned and said, "What a liar! What a liar! Didn't they say that eating Xuanzang's flesh can make one immortal and have boundless magical powers?"
"Who on earth is spreading this rumor? It's a complete liar. It's not true at all. Apart from a little feeling of fullness, there's nothing left."
The centipede demon was furious and extremely angry.
Purple bamboo forest.
Mu Zha came back to report to Guanyin.
He lowered his head and said, "Master, I failed. Shachen didn't fall for my trick and actually sent Xuanzang across the river himself."
Guanyin said, "I already know."
Mu Zha added, "I really don't know how he managed to hold it in."
Guanyin said, "I think he guessed that eating Xuanzang's flesh would make it impossible for him to have boundless magical powers."
Mu Zha said, "He hasn't tried it, how would he know?"
Guanyin said, "Since he acted cautiously before, it's not surprising that he would have such a suspicion. Later, Xuanzang was eaten by a centipede monster. Send someone to send him something."
Mu Zha asked, "Why?"
Guanyin said, "I must let everyone know that eating Xuanzang's flesh can make one immortal and gain boundless magical powers. Only in this way will Juanlian fall into the trap in the next reincarnation."
Mu Zha's eyes lit up as he exclaimed in praise, "As expected of Master, you have thought it through."
Guanyin said, "Don't go yourself. Send someone else to go."
Mu Zha took the order and went down to make arrangements.
The centipede demon in Huanghua Temple was furious because he ate Xuanzang's flesh but it had no effect on him, and then he fell into a deep sleep.
He had a dream in which he was illuminated by the Buddha's light. He thought he was going to be conquered by Buddhism, and then he woke up in shock.
Then.
He discovered that his cultivation level actually began to increase.
There are even faint signs of breaking through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
The centipede demon was surprised and delighted, "It turns out that eating Xuanzang's flesh can really make one immortal and have boundless magical powers."
"It is rumored that this Xuanzang is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi. He has to go through many tribulations. I am waiting here for his next life."
Then he looked towards the direction of the Flowing Sand River, his eyes flickering, and said, "By the way, wait for him to come out, hehe."
at this time.
Thousand Flowers Cave.
After paying his respects to Vimala Bodhisattva, Mu Zha prepared to leave.
Bodhisattva Vimala said, "That centipede demon has a chance. My Thousand Flower Cave is in need of a gatekeeper. If he can't go to Lingshan Mountain, you can let him come to my Purple Cloud Mountain."
Mu Zha clasped his hands together and said, "It's all up to the Bodhisattva to decide."
Then he stepped back.
After everyone left, an immortal came out of the cave, knelt on the ground, and said, "Mother, if we let a mere centipede demon come to Ziyun Cave, won't others look down on us?"
Bodhisattva Vimala said, "Many people in the Buddhist community will benefit from the journey to the sutras. My Purple Cloud Cave cannot be left without any benefit."
"The Curtain Roller didn't eat the pilgrim, but instead gave the centipede monster an advantage. If he is eaten by the centipede monster in the next few lives, I'm afraid he will grow into a peerless demon."
The one kneeling was none other than the Pleiades official. He was surprised and said, "If that's the case, he must not be allowed to come."
Bodhisattva Vimala said, "His coming here will further demonstrate the compassion of our Buddha. Moreover, the more he falls, the more sincere he will be to the Buddha."
The Pleiades official said, "My son is afraid that he won't be able to control him when the time comes."
Bodhisattva Vimala said, "You have the magic needle of the day, so you don't have to worry about him not obeying you."
The two of them gradually became quieter.
Heaven.
Taibai Jinxing reported the situation of the Liusha River to the Jade Emperor and cautiously stepped aside.
The Jade Emperor asked, "Golden Cicada's reincarnation is right next to his mouth, but he won't eat it?"
"What exactly does he want to do? Is it because you gave him resources before that he held on to hope and was able to return to heaven?"
Taibai Jinxing smiled bitterly and said, "It shouldn't be, otherwise he would have mentioned it when the old minister went to win him over."
The Jade Emperor said, "But you never mentioned letting him come back. Maybe he really does have hope."
Taibai Jinxing said, "Then I, this old minister, will give him a hint someday. Will he have no chance to come back?"
The Jade Emperor waved his hand and said, "Never mind. It's rare that he's so loyal to Heaven. If he can withstand a few more tests, I'll let him come back and let someone else go to the West to obtain the scriptures."
Taibai Jinxing said, "Your Majesty is wise."
The Jade Emperor sighed and said, "I'm afraid that the Buddhist sect will not let us go when the time comes."
The two looked at each other and sighed.
I think everyone knows that Shachen has shown enough talent, and the Buddhist sect may really be reluctant to let him go.
Purple Cliff.
Master Tongtian is gathering his remaining disciples and preaching to them.
Suddenly he sensed the situation of the Quicksand River, suddenly smiled, then suddenly frowned, and finally his face was filled with shock.
The disciples all looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what the leader had done. Was he hysterical?
