Chapter fifty.
Sun Wukong was still wondering how he could pursue the monster to the Great Thunder Sound Temple, then he heard the Tathagata on the rosette above asking.
"Wukong, you can't just stay by your master's side and protect him on his way west, so why are you here at the Great Thunder Sound Temple?"
Just as Sun Wukong was about to answer, he saw the six-eared macaque answering first.
"Tathagata Buddha, I, the old grandson, chased the monster pretending to be me all the way, and somehow came to this Western Spirit Mountain... But this is just right. I believe that with the power of Tathagata Buddha, I will be able to see through the monster.
True body, I can give my grandson a rightful name!"
When Sun Wukong heard this, he immediately became angry and said: "Fairy! You actually dare to talk nonsense, I'm going to fight you!"
Tathagata seemed to have come to his senses at this moment. He opened his eyes from the lotus seat and looked at the two people in the palace who started to fight again after a disagreement. With a flash of eyes, he said: "You two, please stop first."
Bar."
The six-eared macaque wanted to stop, but Sun Wukong pressed hard. The Vajra Protector standing under the Tathagata's seat suddenly raised his eyebrows and scolded sternly: "How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the Buddha? Why don't you two stop?
?!"
After the Dharma Protector Vajra gave a sharp shout, the two separated again.
After looking at the two people who stopped, the two Dharma Protectors turned around and bowed to Tathagata, then returned to their original positions and stood still. Tathagata also looked at Sun Wukong and Sun Wukong and nodded lightly.
"Tathagata Buddha, this monster pretended to be me and ruined my reputation. I will definitely not be able to get along with him today!"
"You are the monster pretending to be me!"
The Tathagata said: "You two don't have to worry about fighting. I have observed the affairs between you two with my supernatural power, and now I understand the cause and effect."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong hurriedly asked: "May I ask Tathagata Buddha, can you tell the origin of this monster pretending to be me?"
The six-eared macaque also said: "Please ask the Buddha to verify my true identity so that the monster pretending to be me can show its true form!"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Tathagata said, "If you want to know why you two are so similar, and why others can't tell the difference between you two, you should first listen to me tell you about you.
The origins of the two of them."
"In the ancient years, when the world was created, five immortals and five insects were born, including gods, humans, ghosts, scales, feathers, and insects. They accepted the ten categories of heaven and earth, and all spirits were among them."
"——There are four monkeys in the world. They are neither heaven nor earth, nor gods, nor humans, nor ghosts. They are not scales, hair, feathers, or kuns. They do not fall into the ten categories. And you two are among these four monkeys in the world.
The second one."
"Wukong, you are the Lingming Stone Monkey, and he is the six-eared macaque. They belong to the same origin, have the same image and the same sound, just like the twins. How can others tell them apart?"
Sun Wukong suddenly realized what he said, and thought to himself, it turned out to be such a monster, no wonder even my piercing eyes couldn't see his true form!
He immediately raised his head and looked at Tathagata, wanting to ask him to speak out to prove himself so that he could deal with the six-eared macaque, but found that Tathagata's eyes actually fell on him, and his expression was neither sad nor happy.
Sun Wukong was stunned, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.
This?! Could it be...
"I see, if I hadn't heard the Buddha's explanation, I might not even be able to tell where the six-eared macaque is."
At this moment, a message came into the main hall.
Hearing this sound, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed instantly, and even Tathagata's eyes flickered for a moment!
Zhenwu! How could he show up?!
According to Tathagata's expectation, Lu Zhi should still be cultivating in Wudang Mountain at this moment. Sun Wukong and the six-eared macaque did not find him at all when he went to Wudang Mountain. They had already turned around and arrived at Dayei Temple halfway. In addition, he tried to deceive him.
Tianji, Lu Zhi should not know about this at all!
But at this critical moment, Lu Zhi appeared here at the right time, directly ruining Tathagata's plan!
A ray of golden light shot into the Main Hall, and Lu Zhi's figure appeared.
"I have met Buddha Tathagata." Lu Zhi said a faint salute to Tathagata.
Tathagata raised his head, glanced at Lu Zhi, his face showed no emotion or anger, and replied: "I have seen the Zhenwu Emperor, but the unknown Emperor came to Lingshan, and he was greeted at a distance."
Lu Zhi shook his head: "Buddha, you don't have to be polite. I also heard about Wukong, so I rushed to the Lingshan Mountain without knowing it. I hope Buddha won't be offended."
"The emperor's words are serious."
Tathagata lowered his eyelids slightly, and there was no change on his face, but waves of turmoil were already stirring in his heart.
How could Zhenwu appear in Lingshan at this moment? Could it be Taishang Laojun?!
No! The true form of the Supreme Saint has already gone to the Chaos Dojo. What is left in the Heavenly Palace is just an incarnation. The Saint no longer has the ability to know everything... So how did Zhenwu know?
In fact, Lu Zhi had not found any trace before. The reason why he appeared here at such a timely time was purely because he had already 'foreseeed' this disaster before the real and fake Monkey King happened.
.
So even when he was in seclusion for self-cultivation, he was still taking precautions against this.
It is precisely because of this that no matter how perfect Tathagata's plan was, Lu Zhi already knew it from the moment the six-eared macaque appeared in front of Sun Wukong!
The reason why he never showed up before was just because he wanted to see what Tathagata would do.
Regarding this dispute between the real and fake Monkey King, there has been a conspiracy theory circulating, saying that the last one to walk out of the Great Thunder Sound Temple was the six-eared macaque.

Lu Zhi doesn't know whether this conspiracy theory is true or not. Even now, he is still unsure, but he will never let it come true!
He even wanted to take a hand in the unification of the origins of the Four Monkeys in the Huddled World to prevent the West from getting their wish!
Lu Zhi turned to look at the two people in the hall, first nodded to Sun Wukong, and then looked coldly at the six-eared macaque on the other side.
"Buddha, this six-eared macaque used to eavesdrop on Taoist ancestors' sermons and offend Taoist ancestors. Taoist ancestors said, 'The Dharma is not taught to the six ears', and his supernatural power to eavesdrop on the three realms was destroyed. It was also to warn and admonish him. From then on
From now on, you can no longer rely on your magical powers to be complacent and do evil."
"But now he has committed evil deeds again. It can be seen that he has not repented even a little bit over the years. Otherwise, I would like to ask the Buddha to hand over the six-eared macaque to me. I will take it back and ask the Taoist ancestors to punish him."
Tathagata's eyes flashed suddenly, apparently he had guessed Lu Zhi's intention.
He clearly wanted to use this to take away the six-eared macaque, so that the four monkeys in the world would not be able to unite in origin and achieve perfection!
But Lu Zhi forced the six-eared macaque from him in the name of the six-eared macaque having eavesdropped on Daozu's sermons. This was a cause and effect with Daozu. Even if he wanted to refuse, it was hard to argue with him.
For a moment, Tathagata could not help but hesitate to speak. As soon as Lu Zhi appeared, he fell into a dilemma.
‘After all, it’s still just one move away...’
Tathagata took a deep look at Lu Zhi and sighed secretly in his heart. Lu Qingzhi, the human teacher, is indeed worthy of his reputation...
"In this case, please ask the emperor to bring this six-eared macaque back and ask Taozu to deal with it."
Tathagata was very decisive, knowing that Lu Zhi's arrival would mean that he had already lost this battle. He knew that if he continued to entangle himself, there would be no results, so he simply agreed to Lu Zhi's words openly.
As for the six-eared macaque in the hall, his expression changed again and again after Lu Zhi arrived. Now that he heard that he had become an abandoned son, he immediately couldn't hold back any longer. With a sharp roar, he jumped into the air and transformed into a ray of light.
Jin Hong wants to escape from this place.
"Leave it to me."
But Lu Zhi just glanced at it lightly, raised his hand and threw out the Zhenwu soap-carved flag. It rose up in the wind, and instantly turned into a sky covering the sky. With the flag rolled up, the six-eared macaque was swept away.
Tucked into the flag.
In this way, when everything was settled, Lu Zhi did not stay any longer. After taking a look at Sun Wukong, who was looking inexplicably gloomy, he bid farewell to Tathagata.
Seeing Lu Zhi turn around and leave, Sun Wukong was also shocked and quickly turned around to follow him.
"Emperor, wait for my grandson."
"Wukong."
Tathagata called Sun Wukong softly, and Sun Wukong suddenly froze. He had no choice but to turn around and asked in a muffled voice: "What else does the Buddha have to do?"
Tathagata didn't seem to notice anything strange about Sun Wukong, but just warned him as if it were normal: "That six-eared macaque, it's because of your uncertainty, Wukong, that it breeds calamity and causes disaster."
"So from now on, you should guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and wholeheartedly protect your master on his journey to the west, so that he can climb the Lingshan Mountain and obtain the true scriptures as soon as possible. In this way, you can also achieve positive results."
