Although Tianpeng knows that Theravada Buddhism belongs to Taiqing Laozi, he has not been too exposed to it and is not very clear about the internal situation of Theravada Buddhism!
Now that Taiqing Laozi mentioned Theravada Buddhism, Tianpeng understood without thinking that the other person calling him here most likely had something to do with Theravada Buddhism!
Just as Tianpeng was speculating, Taiqing Laozi opened his mouth to explain the other party's doubts:
"Tianpeng, Dao Dao has decided to go west to collect scriptures, but Zhunti Jieyin wants to take the opportunity to steal my roots in Hinayana Buddhism.
But you are a person who is destined to learn the scriptures under the great road. I want you to come down to earth in the future to supervise the scriptures for me and stop Zhunti’s plan!"
Taiqing Laozi's words seemed to be discussing with Tianpeng, but in fact he was giving orders!
"Tianpeng, please obey the law!"
Taiqing and I have spoken like this, Tianpeng didn't dare to refute and could only agree.
After all, not everyone can refute the sage's decree. To refute the sage's decree is to contradict the saint, and you will undoubtedly end up with a narrow escape!
Taiqing Laozi saw that Tianpeng didn't say much, so he took out a scroll and handed it to the other party, and then said:
"Tianpeng, the rolling curtain general next to Haotian is also one of the people who have learned the scriptures. You will pass this decree to him on my behalf and let him express his position!"
Taiqing Laozi also counted a group of people who wanted to learn the scriptures, but the Rolling Curtain General was no more than a Daluo Jinxian ant. Taiqing Laozi was not willing to summon him, so he planned to ask Tianpeng to bring a decree to the Rolling Curtain General.
"Tianpeng obeys the law!"
At Taiqing Laozi's signal, Tianpeng took the saint's decree and bowed before retreating!
…
The Lingming Stone Monkey has been out to sea on a raft for a long time. Under the guidance of Guanshiyin's magical passage, the raft moves all the way towards Xiniu Hezhou and crosses the ocean!
However, because it has been floating in the sea for a long time, all the fruits on the raft have been eaten by the Lingming Stone Monkey.
However, there are often small fish and shrimps wandering around on the rafts, and the Lingming Stone Monkeys catch fish and shrimps on the rafts for food!
In fact, these fish and shrimps were all given to Lingming Stone Monkey by Guanshiyin to satisfy his hunger. Otherwise, Lingming Stone Monkey would have starved to death at sea.
In addition, in order to prevent the Lingming Stone Monkey from dying of thirst, Avalokitesvara will use her magical power to call for rain every once in a while, so it will bring fresh water to the Lingming Stone Monkey!
In addition to secretly providing food to the Lingming Stone Monkey, Guanshiyin also did a lot of things for the monkey. Otherwise, the monkey would have been eaten by the ferocious beasts and monsters on the sea!
At this moment, Avalokitesvara was guarding the raft drifting on the sea in the nine heavens. Suddenly a red light flew from the East China Sea and transformed into a divine king in dragon-patterned robes in front of Avalokitesvara. The person who came was none other than the ancestral dragon!
When Guanshiyin saw Zulong coming to him, he quickly bowed and saluted:
"Avalokiteśvara, I have seen the Great God Zulong!"
Although Guanshiyin is one of the Five Elders of the Five Directions, with her own strength, she would not dare to be disrespectful when faced with a half-step Hunyuan existence like Zulong!
After Zulong signaled Guanyin to excuse himself, he turned his attention to the Lingming Stone Monkey on the raft below and said:
"Cihang, you stayed in Huaguo Mountain for so many years just because of this stone monkey?"
Ever since Zulong was summoned by Zhunti, he has been paying attention to Huaguo Mountain!
Although Zulong has been staying in the Dragon Palace these years, he has always paid attention to the things on the Huaguo Mountain.
Therefore, he is relatively clear about the fact that Avalokitesvara has stayed in Huaguo Mountain for hundreds of years.
Zulong carefully looked at the details of the Lingming Stone Monkey on the raft and said to himself:
"The details of this stone monkey are a bit strange. Although it is not an innate divine beast, it does appear to be extraordinary. It has innate fighting rules and is vaguely similar to that of Yuan Hong!"
Zulong is a little puzzled now, because he is half-step Hunyuan, but he can't see the details of a stone monkey.
It's not that Zulong's eyesight is poor, but that the background of Lingming Stone Monkey is really not simple.
Only when you reach the realm of a saint can you observe the long river of time and find out the details of the Lingming Stone Monkey!
At this time, Zulong asked Cihang:
"Cihang, what is the background of this stone monkey?"
Zulong couldn't tell the details of this monkey even if he was half a step into Hunyuan. There must be a reason why he asked Guanyin, a junior in the early stage of quasi-sage!
Avalokitesvara's little level of cultivation must not reveal the monkey's true identity, but the leader of Avalokitesvara, Saint Chunti, must know the monkey's true identity!
Since Zhunti sent Guanyin (Cihang) to guard the stone monkey, he must have told the other party the details of the stone monkey!
"Great God Zulong, this is unspeakable!"
Avalokitesvara didn't dare to deceive Zulong. After all, a being like Zulong who had fought for the hegemony of the ancient world was not that easy to deceive.
But Guanyin did not dare to tell the details about the Lingming Stone Monkey. After all, if she told the details about the monkey and made Zhunti unhappy, she, Guanyin, would not be able to bear the wrath of the Holy One.
So under this situation, Guanshiyin could only answer Zulong like this, hoping that this great god would not embarrass a junior like him!
"It seems that the background of this stone monkey is not ordinary!"
Zulong also understood from Guanshiyin's words that the other party knew the details of Stone Monkey, but did not dare to tell them.
In fact, even if Guanyin doesn't want to say it, as long as Zulong is willing, he can forcibly capture Guanyin's true soul and read the other person's memory.
But Zulong is not willing to do this. After all, Guanshiyin is a disciple of Mahayana Buddhism and has the support of Zhunti Jieyin, so Zulong is not willing to offend the two saints!
Seeing that Zulong did not continue to ask questions, Guanshiyin breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she could not afford to offend Zulong!
"Cihang, although I don't know where you are going to take this stone monkey, I would like to remind you that this stone monkey's life is short!"
Zulong didn't see the details of the Lingming Stone Monkey just now, but he saw that the Lingming Stone Monkey was about to expire!
Then Zulong continued:
"Cihang, I think if something happens to this stone monkey, Saint Zhunti will definitely forgive you!
In addition, although these four seas belong to my dragon clan, if anything happens, my dragon clan will not be responsible, so you should be careful!"
Zulong knew that this stone monkey was not simple, and from the fact that Avalokitesvara had secretly guarded this stone monkey for many years, it can be seen that Zhunti attached great importance to this stone monkey.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The two saints cited by Zhunti are somewhat contradictory to other saints.
So Zulong estimated that the probability of something happening to this stone monkey in the Four Seas was a bit high, so Zulong expressed his stance first!
"Junior knows!"
Avalokitesvara bowed to Zulong, and she naturally understood what Zulong meant.
Although Zulong did not say it directly, he secretly told Guanyin that if someone in the four seas attacked the Lingming Stone Monkey, the Dragon Clan would not help!
After Zulong's reminder, Guanyin prayed silently in his heart, hoping that other saints would not send people to cause trouble. Guanyin himself was just a small quasi-sage and couldn't resist it in the early stage!
Zulong didn't care about Guanyin anymore. Anyway, his dragon clan didn't care about the affairs of these saints. He then transformed into a dragon shadow and escaped directly to the Thirty-Six Heavens Daluotian. He was going to report the situation of the Lingming Stone Monkey to the Holy Bear Xiaobai!
As soon as Zulong entered the Holy Bear Palace, he saw Houtu sitting on the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus, while Holy Bear Xiaobai was lying on Houtu's head and taking a nap!
Zulong could only bow and salute, saying:
"Zulong has met Empress Houtu, the leader of the Holy Bear!"
As Zulong bowed and saluted, the holy bear Xiaobai on Houtu's head opened his small eyes and sat upright!
Hou Tu looked at Zulong below and said:
"Zu Long, what brings you to the Holy Bear Palace?"
Hou Tu knew that if Zulong had nothing to do, he would definitely not come to the Holy Bear Palace. Now that Zulong has come to the Holy Bear Palace, something must have happened.
As for Zulong, as a half-step Hunyuan, the things that he couldn't handle were probably involving saints, so Hou Tu asked.
"this……"
Zulong wanted to report it to Holy Bear Xiaobai, but now that Houtu was here, Zulong didn't know how to report it for a while.
Hou Tu quickly noticed Zu Long's abnormality. She frowned and said:
"Zu Long, it seems you don't want me to be here!"
Holy Bear Xiaobai noticed that the shaman beneath him was a little unhappy, so he said:
"Zu Long, it doesn't matter if you say it!"
Although the Holy Bear Xiaobai also hid something from Hou Tu, the things he hid were all big things, and he felt there was no need to hide ordinary little things!
Under the signal of Holy Bear Xiaobai, Zulong bowed and saluted, and said:
"A few years ago, Cihang, following the decree of Saint Chunti, stationed at Huaguo Mountain in the East China Sea for hundreds of years, guarding a stone tire!
More than three hundred years ago, that stone womb gave birth to a stone monkey.
Today, Zulong saw the stone monkey. He was extremely weird and had some innate laws, so he came here to report..."
Zulong told everything about the Lingming Stone Monkey in detail, without any concealment.
After hearing Zulong's report, Holy Bear Xiaobai was speechless.
I thought Zulong was going to report something important, so I got up and meditated with the Great Holy Bear.
As a result, Zulong came to report these trivial matters. Now Holy Bear Xiaobai seriously suspected that Zulong had received benefits from others and deliberately disturbed his sleep, Holy Bear Great Heavenly Lord.
In desperation, Holy Bear Xiaobai could only say:
"Zu Long, I have already known about this matter.
That Lingming Stone Monkey's heels come from the Chaos Gods and Demons, so it has its own innate fighting rules!"
Holy Bear Xiaobai is very clear about the details of the Lingming Stone Monkey. Although the Lingming Stone Monkey is the same as the other three monkeys, the Lingming Stone Monkey's inheritance is more powerful than the other three monkeys.
The combat law ranks among the top three thousand laws. Its characteristic is that the more you fight, the braver you become. Every time you win, your fighting power will become stronger!
You must know that the reason why the Lingming Stone Monkey can cultivate Taoism is that he can be evenly matched with Yang Jian by making trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
It was because Zhunti sent a lot of people to give the monkey his head in the early stage, thus building up the power of the Lingming Stone Monkey.
Therefore, the Lingming Stone Monkey can rely on its fighting strength to fight against Yang Jian who practices the Eight or Nine Mysterious Skills. After the monkey in the later stage swallows a dry golden elixir, it can fight against Duobao several times!
When Hou Tu heard that the Lingming Stone Monkey had the foundation of chaos, he immediately started calculating with his fingers, and then murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
Because Hou Tu had the intention to kill the Lingming Stone Monkey, the ancient world was dimmed, the sun and the moon lost their light, and huge waves shook the world.
Hou Tu pulled down the holy bear Xiaobai, held the bear up to face the opponent, and said:
"Xiao Bai, this smart stone monkey is actually the origin of the Chaos Demon Ape, and it has inherited the opponent's fighting rules.
This Lingming Stone Monkey is likely to become the Demon Ancestor, the Dao Ancestor, and the Yangmei Ancestor. Should we kill it?"
There is a reason why Hou Tu did not have the intention to kill the other three monkeys in the world, but he only had the intention to kill the Lingming Stone Monkey!
Although Wuzhi Qi, Six-eared Macaque, and Yuan Hong are all four monkeys in the chaotic world and have inherited some inheritance from the Chaos Demon Ape, they have not inherited the combat rules of the Chaos Demon Ape!
The Lingming Stone Monkey itself is the origin of the Chaos Demon Ape, and it has inherited the combat rules of the Chaos Demon Ape. The remnant soul of the Chaos Demon Ape is probably hidden in its body!
Therefore, Hou Tu was a little worried. The Chaos Demon Ape was resurrected with the help of the body of the Lingming Stone Monkey!
Houtu was transformed from Pangu's essence and blood, and she knew very well how powerful the Chaos Demon Ape was.
That was the best among the three thousand chaos gods and demons, the one who could fight Pangu head-on.
In order to kill the Chaos Demon Ape, the great god Pangu spent a lot of energy!
Hou Tu was afraid that the Chaos Demon Ape would use the body of the Lingming Stone Monkey to devour the other three four chaotic monkeys, so he resurrected Jishi and Anhuang.
Once the Four Monkeys of the Chaos World merge into one and the Chaos Demon Ape comes back to the Great Desolate World, Hou Tu will probably be all the Saints of the Prehistoric World, and Hunyuan Daluo will attack together, so they may not be the opponents of each other.
It is even possible that when the law of heaven comes to the world, it may not be possible to resurrect the Chaos Demon Ape!
So Hou Tu came up with the idea of killing the Lingming Stone Monkey in advance to make the four monkeys in the chaotic world uneven, so he can avoid the possibility of the Chaos Demon Ape coming to the world!
"No need!"
Holy Bear Xiaobai shook his head and rejected Hou Tu's proposal. In the ancient world, everything was in the eyes of the saints. It would be almost impossible for the Chaos Demon Ape to reincarnate into the world without the consent of the saints!
You must know that Wuzhiqi was under house arrest in the palace under the Huai River, and the six-eared macaque guarded the Golden Crow Garden among the twenty-four heavens of his Holy Bear Great Heavenly Lord. As for Yuan Hong, he was on the list of gods and became a
God of Heaven!
As for the Lingming Stone Monkey, Zhunti was also keeping an eye on it!
Therefore, it is impossible for the four monkeys in the world to come together without the consent of the Great Heavenly Bear, the Holy Bear. If the Chaos Demonic Ape wants to be born into the world, it must be nodded by the Great Heavenly Bear, the Holy Bear!
Moreover, if Hou Tu wanted to kill the Lingming Stone Monkey, it would be a violation of the Tao and the good deeds of Mahayana Buddhism, so Zhunti and Jie Yin would definitely not agree!
Holy Bear Xiaobai broke free from Hou Tu's hands, climbed onto the shaman's shoulders, pulled the witch's hair bun, and said:
"Hou Tu, quickly take out your life and death book and take a look at it, quickly find the destiny of the Lingming Stone Monkey, and fix its lifespan!"
After Holy Bear Xiaobai finished speaking, Hou Tu directly took out the book of life and death and revealed the fate of the Lingming Stone Monkey - the Lingming Stone Monkey lived at the age of three hundred and forty-two years!
Then Hou Tuyou took out the Qianqiu Samsara pen and circled it.
With Hou Tu's stroke, Lingming Stone Monkey's 342-year-old fate was determined on a life-or-death basis.
Now, even if the Lingming Stone Monkey takes the miraculous medicine and practices, it cannot increase his longevity.
As for the Lingming Stone Monkey jumping out of life and death, it is even more impossible!
Ordinary beings who have cultivated to a quasi-sage can escape from the trap of life and death. Now Hou Tu has given the Lingming Stone Monkey a circle. Even if the Lingming Stone Monkey becomes a quasi-sage, he cannot escape from the trap of life and death!
Even if Zhunti and Jieyin take action, they cannot use their magical power to erase the name of the Lingming Stone Monkey from the Life and Death Book, and they cannot make the Lingming Stone Monkey escape from the control of the Life and Death Book!
