Chapter 1553
At that moment, Venerable Kasyapa, looking like a treasure of Buddha-light, looked at Tang Sanzang and said:
"Tang Sanzang, your performance this time was not bad."
"This tribulation was arranged by myself and the three Bodhisattvas, using this precious land, to test whether the four of you master and disciples have a firm heart towards the Buddha."
"Looking at it now, although the result is not entirely satisfactory."
"But this is not your fault, but rather an unexpected situation occurred."
"Therefore, based on the previous situation, I believe that you master and disciples have passed this test of ours."
Venerable Kasyapa said these high-sounding words.
Regarding this, whether it was Sun Wukong, Marshal Tianpeng, or General Juan Lian.
None of them were interested in Venerable Kasyapa's words.
To tell the truth, Tang Sanzang also had not the slightest bit of interest in what Venerable Kasyapa said.
If it were not for the fact that Tang Sanzang held a trace of respect for Venerable Kasyapa in his heart.
On the surface, Tang Sanzang appeared to be very excited.
As if he were truly excited that he had passed this test of the Western Fomen.
If it had been any other disciple of the Western Fomen who came to inform them of this.
I fear that at this moment, Tang Sanzang would have already taken his disciples and set foot on the road to Western Lingshan.
However, facing the lazy attitude of Sun Wukong, Marshal Tianpeng, and General Juan Lian.
Venerable Kasyapa was also a bit angry, so he spoke again:
"Zhu Bajie, and you Sha Wujing, the concentration of you two is far inferior to Sanzang."
"Although you have passed the test this time, it does not mean that I, the Western Fomen, am satisfied with you two."
"I hope that in the future, on the road to Western Lingshan, you will concentrate on cultivating the Dharma of our Western Fomen."
"So as to avoid making a fool of yourselves later and breaking the precepts of our Western Fomen."
Hearing this, Tang Sanzang hurriedly said:
"Amitabha!"
"Excellent, excellent!"
"This poor monk thanks Venerable Kasyapa on behalf of his disciples."
"Having received the guidance of Venerable Kasyapa today, I imagine my two disciples will surely take fewer detours in the future."
Seeing that Tang Sanzang was so sensible, Venerable Kasyapa did not continue his long-winded speech, but instead looked at Tang Sanzang, smiled, and nodded:
"Since you, Sanzang, have seen through this matter, I will not delay your time any further."
"Please, Sanzang, take your disciples and hurry onto the road to Western Lingshan."
"However, I ask that you, Sanzang, take more care; on this journey, you still need to temper your disciples Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing more."
"Let their hearts towards the Buddha become firm sooner."
"On this journey, you, Sanzang, need to take careful pains, which can also be considered tempering yourself."
Facing the 'earnest teachings' of Venerable Kasyapa, Tang Sanzang nodded and said:
"Many thanks for the guidance, Venerable Kasyapa; this poor monk will certainly supervise Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing."
After speaking, Venerable Kasyapa left directly with Manjusri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and Lingji Bodhisattva.
After all, staying here and facing Tang Sanzang and the others, the atmosphere could only remain completely awkward.
Since that was the case, why should Venerable Kasyapa look for trouble here?
Besides, leaving this place was something Lingji Bodhisattva, Manjusri Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva all gave their full support to.
After all, staying here and looking at these familiar things.
Naturally, they would think of how they had lost face earlier.
