Chapter 149 Chapter Dharma Name Sanzang
"Your Excellency's Dharma is wonderful. I admire it."

Jian Zang's eyes darkened a little and he said.

"Have you had any insights?" asked the man in black robe.

Jian Zang replied: "The world is ill now, please teach the law to govern the world."

"It's rare that you can understand these things, but I have no way to teach you." The man in black robe smiled slightly.

Seeing Jian Zang's surprised expression, the man in black robe continued, "The world is ill because of humans, gods, and immortals. The gods and immortals have human hearts, which disturb the heavens and the earth, causing the world to lose order. Demons and ghosts are causing chaos in the world. In this world of humanity, on the contrary, people are praying to immortals and offering sacrifices to Buddhas everywhere, with incense burning continuously. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"You have experienced hundreds of generations, so you naturally know how vulnerable the common people are, how they survive in the cracks, and what they want. My way to rule the world is hidden in it, and you still need to figure it out for yourself."

Jianzang nodded thoughtfully.

"Serious illnesses require strong medicines. The world is not just sick, it's also rotten. If you want to cure it, you need to cut out the rotten flesh and cut off the lesions." said the man in black robe.

Jianzang looked up suddenly.

The black-robed man turned and came to the main hall of Huasheng Temple. Inside the main hall, a golden Buddha sat high, and believers were worshipping:

"The Buddha said that all beings are equal, but now he is high above us and wants people to worship him. How can this be called equality?"

The black-robed man turned and looked at Jian Zang: "Since all beings are equal, he is the Buddha, and I can also be the Buddha. You can call me Wu Tian Buddha!"

"No heaven, no law... Buddha and devil." Jian Zang murmured.

"Whether it is Buddha or devil, you have cultivated Buddhism, then you will know good deeds and good doors. A heart that seeks Buddha is real, and a heart that is kind is true. I want to set off an endless killing calamity, and bring down those who are high above to the mortal world, and let those who sit firmly on the clouds fall to the human world. The immortals and Buddhas will disappear into thin air. If the sky deceives people, break it into pieces. If the earth binds people, trample on it. Born free, who dares to be high above!" Wutan said.

Jian Zang felt as if struck by thunder, his face solemn.

"You have been reincarnated for hundreds of lifetimes, but you are still stubborn and refuse to change your ways? You might as well open your eyes and take a look at the sentient beings in this world. Do you really want them to wake up, or just watch them... forever without hope of recovery?" Wutan shouted.

"Venerable sir..." Jianzang said in a low voice.

Wu Tian interrupted, "Do you think that you can get protection by worshipping gods? Do you think that you can save people by worshipping Buddha and reciting scriptures? Do you think that without killing people and shedding the blood of immortals and Buddhas, all living beings can turn things around?"

"If you only want to turn things around, you will never be able to do so. If you want to save the world, you must make the immortals and Buddhas disappear into thin air!"

"You say I am a demon, then I am a demon. I don't have a way to save the world, but I have the Three Treasures of the Mahayana Sutra, which can help the dead ascend to heaven and save the distressed from suffering. I have boundless magical powers and can clear the universe. It is in the far west, called the Western Heaven Great Demon Sound Temple, 18000 miles away from here. If you are willing, go and get it, and seek welfare for all living beings."

Jian Zang pursed his lips and asked, "Is what you said true, sir?"

"Do you think I would lie to you? If I were a demon, I would immediately stain the sky with demons. If I were a Buddha, I would also be able to clear the heaven and earth. You can make a bet with me. If you can obtain the true scriptures in a few years, I will help you. After all, you are just an ordinary person who doesn't know how to practice. It will be very difficult for you to accomplish anything." Wu Tian said, "It's up to you to choose."

"I don't agree with everything your Excellency said," Jian Zang shook his head, "but I am willing to give it a try."

Then he prostrated himself, resting his forehead on the ground, stretching his arms out, and making a lotus gesture:

"A humble monk from the mortal world pays homage to the Buddha Wu Tian."

Wu Tian laughed: "Lift up!"

Jian Zang sat up from his knees, his hair disheveled and his face full of tears. Wu Tian stood beside him and said with a smile: "You have reincarnated for hundreds of times, and now you seem to be reborn. Now your hair and beard have grown long, you don't look like a monk at all. Since you worship me, I will give you the precepts."

Jian Zang put his hands together and said, "Disciple accepts the precepts."

A razor appeared in Wu Tian's hand and cut Jian Zang's scalp: "This journey to the west is to kill and eliminate karma. You need to commit more sins and kill all the demons. Can you do it?"

"Can hold."

"Once you enter my door, you will no longer take the Three Refuges, and you will not follow the Five Precepts. You will commit many angry thoughts, and the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance will follow you. Can you keep it?"

“…I can hold on.”

The razor has been used, and all the black hair has fallen out.

Wu Tian said: "I want to make up a lie, saying that if I can eat your flesh, I will be immortal, and if I can eat your bones, I will have long-lasting blessings, so as to deceive all living beings, so that all kinds of demons, ghosts, immortals, Buddhas and evildoers will come to find you, turning the world upside down. Can you understand?"

"My disciple is just a mortal with no cultivation at all. How can I deceive the demons and ghosts?" Jian Zang asked.

Wu Tian raised his hand, and a golden pill appeared in his palm: "This is the boneless relic, originally left by the Medicine Buddha. After I refined it, it has some magical effects. You can take it."

Jian Zang felt a little troubled holding the relic which was not much smaller than a fist. Just when he was about to ask the Buddha if he could divide it into two parts, the boneless relic turned into a ray of golden light and fell into Jian Zang's stomach. A warm current flowed through his body, and a thousand pounds of strength emerged out of nowhere.

"On your journey to the west, you have to go through thirty-three calamities, ninety-nine difficulties, and eighty-one difficulties. With each difficulty you overcome, the boneless relic will merge with you a little, and your strength will increase by three points. Once you pass the ninety-nine difficulties, you will be the born Buddha, achieve the right result, and it will be easy for you to tear apart immortals and gods with your bare hands." Wutan said, stretching out his hand.

The relics in Jianzang's belly emitted golden light, and a golden dragon climbed up from his lower abdomen, landed on Jianzang's back, and turned into a golden tattoo.

"You are a mortal. Once the news of the immortal meat spreads, I'm afraid you will be eaten clean before you even leave Dayan. The dragon on its back is called the Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon, also known as the Dragon Horse. I will teach you the spell. If you are in danger, you can summon the golden dragon to protect your body. On weekdays, you can transform into a white dragon horse and use it as a means of transportation." Wutan said.

Jian Zang bowed: "Buddha, have mercy on me."

"Don't worry, I have found some helpers for you," Wu Tian smiled, "Go west, there are two boundary ridges, there is a Five Elements Mountain on the ridge, under the mountain there is a demon monkey, he is very naughty, called 'Sun Xingzhe', you can take him as your apprentice, and I will help you travel west."

"In Gao Village, there is a pig demon named 'Zhu Bajie'. There is also a monk named 'Sha Wujing' in Liusha River. They are all capable of killing gods and demons. They are full of murderous aura and should be your good helpers."

Wu Tian waved his hand and showed several items: "I have prepared a few treasures here. This staff is called the 'Nine-ring Tin Staff', it weighs 180,000 jin and can be sized as you wish. The cassock is the 'Jinlan Cassock', when it is shaken off, it covers the sky and the sun. The crown is the Five Buddha Crown, when it is still, ten thousand monks will pay homage to it, when it moves, the Five Buddhas will follow it. The bowl is a purple gold bowl, it can easily capture demons and monsters. If you drop something into the bowl, it will turn into pus in three quarters of an hour."

"Disciple thanks the Buddha for his kindness." Jianzang bowed his head and put on the cassock and Buddhist crown. They shone brightly, and with his good looks, he had the bearing of a pilgrim seeking Buddhist scriptures.

"I will give you a Dharma name. This trip is not for any other purpose but to kill. There is a word burial in it. Bury the sky, bury the earth, and bury all living things. That will be the three burials!" Wutan waved his hand and let him go.

"Thank you, Buddha. I am leaving now!" Jianzang... bowed three times and turned to leave.

When Sanzang left, Wutan, also known as Dongquan, laughed loudly, with many demonic shadows behind him.

“You spread the word that a pilgrim has been born, and see how many demons, ghosts, immortals, and gods can be attracted to fill the ninety-nine eighty-one tribulations. If the number of tribulations is not enough, find a treasure land, transform into a demon, and fill the thirty-three tribulations and ninety-nine tribulations.”

Following Dongquan's order, demonic shadows flew out from the sky, and Dayan... no, the entire world began to become lively.

　Thanks to the reward from Taiyi Tianpin, the boss spent a lot of money. Ah, it was a headache to write these chapters. It was very difficult to write them without any hesitation.
