After this incident, Maitreya and Huang Mei completely broke with Buddhism and had nothing to do with Buddhism in the future.
Sun Wukong was very satisfied with this result. At the same time, Haotian knew what Maitreya was thinking and was also very happy. He kept his promise and gave Maitreya a high position in heaven.
Huang Mei also naturally joined the Heavenly Court and served in the Heavenly Court just like Maitreya.
As Huang Mei was subdued by Maitreya and brought back to heaven, Tathagata and others also knew it immediately.
"I, Buddha Tathagata, Huang Mei has been taken to heaven by Maitreya. This traitor who cheats on both the inside and the outside should really deserve to die!"
Ran Deng said with a cold face and full of anger.
Hearing the word "traitor", everyone on Lingshan Mountain was extremely angry. Ran Deng had long forgotten that he was also a traitor. Even Tathagata, Guanyin and others have always carried these two words.
Maitreya died and was bound by the list of gods. Tathagata and others never mentioned this matter. They ignored Maitreya's previous status in Buddhism, excluded Huang Mei, and caused disasters in his lower realms.
Now Maitreya was completely heartbroken and took his disciples into heaven. They also cursed Maitreya as a traitor, and their ugly face was exposed at a glance.
"That's all, since Maitreya has made his choice, let him go."
Hearing this, Tathagata was already filled with anger, but now that the matter had come to this, they did not dare to go to heaven to punish Maitreya.
"I, Buddha Tathagata, this Sun Wukong has ruined our good deeds time and time again. Are we just going to swallow our anger like this?"
After hearing Tathagata's words, Ran Deng knew that he could not do anything to Maitreya, and once again transferred his anger to Sun Wukong.
"That's right, the damn monkey head has some abilities on his own, and with Deputy Leader Qin behind him, he doesn't take us seriously at all. We should teach him a lesson."
When Guanyin and others heard this, they also agreed.
After hearing the words of Ran Deng, Guanyin and others, Tathagata's face became more and more gloomy, and he had already become intolerable towards Sun Wukong Tathagata.
Today's journey to the west is related to the prosperity of Buddhism, and Tathagata cannot tolerate carelessness. After some thought, Tathagata's eyes burst out with two cold gazes.
"Okay, in that case, I will teach Sun Wukong a lesson."
Tathagata spoke.
Hearing this, Ran Deng and others were filled with excitement, and their faces were filled with excitement. However, after thinking about it, their hearts were filled with uneasiness and apprehension.
Sun Wukong is a disciple of Qin Feng. Most people can take action, but they are not Sun Wukong's opponent at all. But if they want to deal with Sun Wukong, once Tathagata takes action, Qin Feng will definitely not sit idly by.
By then, I’m afraid Buddhism will still suffer the loss.
"I, Buddha Tathagata, once you take action, Qin Feng will definitely not give up. Please think twice."
Although Ran Deng wanted to take revenge on Sun Wukong, he knew what was more important, so he spoke to persuade him.
"Randeng Buddha, don't worry, I have already prepared to deal with Sun Wukong."
Tathagata smiled gloomily, his face full of confidence.
Sensing Tathagata's expression, Ran Deng and others were full of doubts, not understanding what Tathagata meant by these words.
"Where is the six-eared macaque!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Tathagata opened his mouth and shouted loudly.
"Disciple Liu'er pays homage to Master!"
After Tathagata finished speaking, deep in the Lingshan Mountain, a macaque appeared in the Lingshan Hall.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the six-eared macaque, Ran Deng and others were all shocked.
"I, Buddha Tathagata, this is..."
Ran Deng saw the six-eared macaque that looked very similar to Sun Wukong and asked.
"Buddha Ran Deng, although you have powerful magic power and advanced cultivation, you still don't know anything about the things in the universe."
Tathagata responded with a smile on his face.
"Please ask me, Buddha Tathagata, to explain clearly!"
Hearing this, both Ran Deng and Guanyin asked curiously.
"There are five immortals in the Zhoutian, gods, humans and ghosts in heaven and earth, as well as five insects, scales and feathers. In addition to these, there are also four monkeys in the world. The six ears are the six-eared macaques among the four monkeys in the world."
"He is good at listening to sounds with six ears, able to understand things before and after, everything is clear, and he has powerful supernatural powers. He is the disciple I have accepted."
"If he takes action, he will definitely be able to deal with Sun Wukong."
Tathagata spoke.
"Amitabha, the Buddha is really wise!"
After hearing Tathagata's words, Ran Deng and others immediately understood.
It turns out that Tathagata had long accepted the six-eared macaque as a disciple and secretly trained him. Sun Wukong was a disciple of the Jie Jiao and was not bound by Buddhism at all. He caused many troubles to Buddhism on his way westward.
Not only did Buddhism pay a lot of price, but it also opposed Buddhism in everything. Tathagata cultivated the six-eared macaque in order to one day deal with Sun Wukong and replace him.
In this way, the westward journey can go smoothly. Even if the six-eared macaque takes action, Qin Feng can't say anything even if Sun Wukong is killed.
"Liu'er, you go down to the realm immediately and teach Sun Wukong a lesson. Do you understand?"
Tathagata turned his attention to the six-eared macaque and said.
"Master, don't worry, this disciple will definitely not let you down!"
Hearing this, the six-eared macaque bowed respectfully to the Tathagata.
As he spoke, the six-eared macaque used his magical powers, and with a slight movement of his six ears, everything in the sky and on the earth became clear to him.
Under the gaze of everyone in Lingshan, the six-eared macaque transformed into the appearance of Sun Wukong, bowed respectfully to Tathagata, turned around and headed towards the lower realm.
Sun Wukong and others were completely unaware of the six-eared macaque. After the four masters and disciples of Sun Wukong passed through Xiaoleiyin Temple, they headed west again.
After walking for several days, Tang Xuanzang and others felt a little tired, so they found a place to rest.
"Wukong, my master is thirsty. Go and find some water."
Tang Xuanzang said.
"You, monk, are really troublesome. Just wait here and I will come back as soon as I go."
Sun Wukong said it was troublesome, but he still went to look for water.
Less than a few breaths after Sun Wukong left, Tang Xuanzang and others saw "Sun Wukong" coming back with water.
"Wukong, why did you come back so fast?"
Tang Xuanzang asked with doubts.
"Master, I am not afraid that you will be thirsty. I will come back as soon as you find the water source."
Hearing this, Sun Wukong opened his mouth to respond.
Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, Tang Xuanzang was immediately filled with doubts and surprises. Sun Wukong had never called him this before.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing also looked at Sun Wukong in shock, always feeling a little weird.
"Monk, my old grandson is back!"
At this moment, Tang Xuanzang and others saw Sun Wukong again!
Sun Wukong fell down, and when he saw himself appearing in front of him, his expression suddenly turned serious.
"Who are you?"
The two Sun Wukongs looked at each other and said in unison.
Seeing such a scene, Tang Xuanzang and the others were immediately dumbfounded.
"Wukong, what on earth is going on?"
Tang Xuanzang looked at the two identical Sun Wukong and asked.
After hearing Tang Xuanzang's words, the two Sun Wukongs remained silent and stared at each other quietly...
