Chapter 588: The reason why the Tathagata conquers the demon
"So that Buddhism cannot flourish?" Tathagata was stunned for a moment. This request was so big that Tathagata had not thought of it. Tathagata was stunned for a moment, then shook his head quickly and said, "This is impossible! The flourishing of Buddhism is the general trend of heaven, and no one can
It cannot be changed. In the last battle of the Conferred Gods, Master wanted to go against the general trend of heaven, and as a result, I intercepted the teaching and directly destroyed the religious tradition. This time, Master actually wanted to go against heaven! This is absolutely not allowed!"
After the Battle of the Gods, as a defeated person, Tathagata knew that the general trend of heaven could not be changed, so Tathagata didn't even think about it and directly rejected Li Yunfei's request. No, it was the request of Tongtian Cult Leader. He did not agree to Li Yunfei's help.
Li Yunfei scratched his head and said quickly: "It's not about changing the general trend of the way of heaven. Even if it can't prevent the rise of Buddhism, it can still delay the rise of Buddhism. The general trend of the way of heaven is to let Buddhism flourish, and it doesn't say when it will take off, right?
Let us temporarily prevent Buddhism from flourishing, otherwise the cooperation between you and the Jade Emperor will not be successful."
"How did you know that I was cooperating with the Jade Emperor?" Tathagata opened his eyes and looked sharply at Li Yunfei.
Li Yunfei immediately felt a strong pressure on his body, making Li Yunfei's whole body stiffen, and even his blood stopped flowing. Li Yunfei said quickly: "The Jade Emperor told me. He wants to
Let’s decide the outcome with Chanjiao.”
When Tathagata heard what Li Yunfei said, he closed his Dharma Eyes, then nodded and said: "Yes, the Jade Emperor has always been suppressed by the Chanjiao. The people who Chanjiao occupied four of the six imperial positions. Then in the year of Tu Niang, another
Regardless of the matter, the Jade Emperor will be restrained by the Chanjiao. The Lord of the Three Realms will not be able to sit still!"
Li Yunfei smiled and said: "His position as Emperor of Heaven was conferred by Patriarch Hongjun. Unless Yuanshi Tianzun is tired of living, otherwise, he will never dare to depose the Jade Emperor. Since Yuanshi Tianzun has no way to defeat the Jade Emperor. Jade
What does the emperor have to fear?"
Tathagata waved his hands and said: "The Jade Emperor is also a talented person, so why would he want someone to be above him? There is nothing he can do about the Six Emperors, and there is nothing he can do about Yuanshi Tianzun. Therefore, he wants to cooperate with Buddhism and let Buddhism replace Taoism. Or let Buddhism and Buddhism cooperate with each other.
Taoism is in conflict. So, he and I chose Sun Wukong, a foolish young man, to rebel against heaven, and then asked me to subdue him and make the name of Buddhism flourish! Only then can Buddhism have a chance to compete with Taoism!"
Li Yunfei frowned and said: "I'm surprised. Could it be that Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't see it? Why didn't he let his disciples go to subdue the demons? This would make Taoism's deterrence even greater!"
Tathagata said softly: "The entire Dongsheng Shenzhou believes in Taoism. Even Xiniu Hezhou, my Buddhist land, has people who believe in Taoism. The deterrence of Taoism is already great. There is no need for a monkey spirit to increase the deterrence. Moreover, Yuanshi Tianzun
I don’t want to offend Subhuti!”
"Subhuti?" Li Yunfei frowned and said, "What kind of character is this Subhuti? Why don't you even want to mess with him, including the Tongtian Cult Master, Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, and the Jade Emperor? What kind of abilities does he have?
?”
"Because he is also a saint!" Tathagata sighed and said: "This Subhuti is also a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. And he is also a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal without a position. In addition, he is also a Buddhist and Taoist practitioner, so whether he is a Taoist
Neither humans nor Buddhists want to offend him. Sun Wukong is his close disciple. No one wants to deal with Sun Wukong!"
"Didn't Yang Jian also offend Sun Wukong?" Li Yunfei said quickly: "Didn't Taishang Laojun use his magic weapon to capture Sun Wukong?"
"The Supreme Master is not trying to capture Sun Wukong!" Tathagata sneered: "He is helping this hozen! Not to mention Sun Wukong in the alchemy furnace of the Supreme Master, even I can't bear it. How could it be possible from there?
Survived inside? Didn't Taishang Laojun deliberately refine him into a Hunyuan Golden Body? As a result, Sun Wukong's Hunyuan Golden Body was refined and he escaped from the alchemy furnace."
Li Yunfei also knew that Taishang Laojun did it on purpose. One of his jade bottles filled with water and a gourd filled with golden elixirs could contain Sun Wukong, and they could turn Sun Wukong into a pool of blood in just three seconds. Taishang Laojun
How could the alchemy furnace be unable to control Sun Wukong? It is absolutely impossible to say that Taishang Laojun did not release the water.
As soon as Sun Wukong jumped out of the alchemy furnace, he hit the Jade Emperor. Why didn't he refine his Taishang Laojun? Didn't Sun Wukong know that he couldn't mess with Taishang Laojun? Sun Wukong also knew that persimmons should be picked when they are weak!
"Since even the Supreme Master doesn't want to offend Subhuti, why did you take action to arrest Sun Wukong? Is it just to promote Buddhism?" Li Yunfei asked quickly: "There are many ways to promote Buddhism. Why do you need to offend a saint?
Woolen cloth?"
Tathagata sighed and said, "You have to pay back the favors you owe to others. I owe the Jade Emperor a big favor, and I want to repay him, so the Jade Emperor sent someone to recruit me to subdue the demons. I had no choice but to go. This
I have to return the favor!"
Only now does Li Yunfei know that Tathagata did not go to conquer the demon because he wanted to offend Subhuti. It was just because Tathagata owed a favor to the Jade Emperor, and he was repaying the Jade Emperor's favor! Li Yunfei is now becoming more and more curious about the world of Journey to the West.
The whole Journey to the West is full of secrets! It makes Li Yunfei want to reveal them bit by bit!
Li Yunfei looked at Tathagata and smiled bitterly: "Since you didn't want to offend Subhuti, you still offended him. Why did you offend Sun Wukong to death? Just press him under the Five Fingers Mountain. Just press him under the mountain."
Why do you want your men to feed him these iron pills and copper juice? These are making him suffer!"
Tathagata nodded and said: "Subhuti did not take good care of his disciples and did not teach him, the only disciple, all kinds of common sense, just to make him rebel against heaven. We all know what he meant! However, he committed too many sins.
So, I have to take care of it. Feeding him iron pills and copper juice is to make him atone for his sins. He committed such a serious crime in the underworld. If he is not allowed to suffer, how can he make up for his mistakes. So, he will suffer like this for these five hundred years. However,
These hardships are also good for him!"
"What's the benefit?" Li Yunfei was stunned for a moment and said: "Sun Wukong's innate spiritual body was refined into a golden body by Taishang Laojun. If you give him iron pills and copper juice, it will only make his innate body suffer the acquired effects.
Metal pollution will definitely damage your cultivation!"
"What do you think Taishang Laojun refined this Hunyuan Gold Body for?" Tathagata snorted coldly: "As long as this Hunyuan Gold Body is in his body, he will never have the chance to realize the Hunyuan Dao Fruit. This
Hozen has extremely high qualifications. He is also an innate creature. He has the opportunity to prove the Hunyuan Dao Fruit and achieve the position of Hunyuan Wujiluo Jinxian! However, after being refined like this, as long as the golden body is immortal, his Hunyuan Dao Fruit will last forever.
Impossible to get!"
Li Yunfei smiled bitterly and said: "You people are scheming and making such a mess. I don't know what you think. I heard from Master Tongtian that Subhuti spent a lot of money to have Taishang Laojun refine some gold specially for Sun Wukong.
After Sun Wukong ate the pill, his cultivation improved greatly, and he even became a golden body of Hunyuan!",
Tathagata nodded and said: "Yes, I think the reason why Taishang Laojun is not willing to let Sun Wukong have the opportunity to become Hunyuan Wujiluo Jinxian is because he and Subhuti have discussed it. I think Subhuti and the others don't want another saint to be equal to them."
!”
"Does Sun Wukong have a great chance of attaining the Dao Fruit of Hunyuan?" Li Yunfei asked quickly: "This monkey is extremely arrogant and capricious. He has no saintly temperament at all. How can he attain the Dao Fruit? This is impossible!"
Tathagata laughed and said: "In this world, anyone with nine orifices can cultivate immortality, and anyone who cultivates immortality can attain the Hunyuan Dao Fruit! It's just that it's even more difficult to prove this Hunyuan Dao Fruit. Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortal,
I have been practicing since the beginning of the world, and now I am still at the pinnacle of quasi-sage. I am only half a step away from the Hunyuan Dao Fruit. However, it is even more difficult to walk through this half step!"
Li Yunfei nodded, indicating that he understood, and then suddenly said: "Then why no one restricts Zhen Yuanzi, but some people restrict Sun Wukong? Zhen Yuanzi is also an innate being. He is also a quasi-sage. He has a better chance of achieving Taoism than Sun Wukong.
Bar!"
Tathagata smiled and said: "Zhen Yuanzi has a high level of cultivation, and secondly, he is surrounded by spiritual treasures to protect his body. The saint cannot take action until the catastrophe of heaven and earth. Therefore, no one can take advantage of Zhen Yuanzi, a master who is at the peak of the quasi-sage."
way."
"Didn't Taishang Laojun take action?" Li Yunfei said quickly: "Taishang Laojun knocked Sun Wukong unconscious with his diamond bracelet, and then caught Sun Wukong!"
