Chapter 1,315 The Monkey King is no longer what he used to be!
"You idiot, you are talking behind your back again!"
Bajie was still in a daze, and his big ears suddenly hurt. He was already violently picked up by a hairy hand and lifted high. He suddenly screamed: "Brother Monkey, let go! Let go!"
After Wukong had ravaged enough, he let out a refreshed sigh, turned over and returned to his original place, smiling at Xuanzang and saying: "Master, you are here!"
Xuanzang stared blankly: "Wukong, do you and this Wu Neng really know each other?"
"Of course I do. This idiot has made Master suffer a lot on his way to learn scriptures..."
Wukong glared at Bajie, who was grinning: "It's been a thousand years since the lower realm has progressed. It's no wonder that Tathagata asked you to clean the altar!"
Bajie was still in pain and groaned. Xuanzang asked: "The lower realm?"
Wukong turned to Li Yan: "Isn't he from the lower world?"
Li Yan nodded slightly, introduced himself and said: "The Lingshan Mountain here compares itself to the 'New Realm', and calls the original three realms the 'Old World'. Do you understand the victory over the Buddha?"
"Old Sun won't fight to conquer the Buddha's position, so there is no need to call me that, but this old world and the new world...hey!"
Wukong sneered again and again: "My master and disciple have gone through countless hardships to obtain the essential texts of the Mahayana, translate them to the Chinese earth, transcend troubles, and save all sentient beings. The human world has actually become the old world? On the contrary, in this heaven, everyone is looking forward to occupying a place.
, it’s really ridiculous!”
It can be seen that the previous speculation is indeed correct.
The New World is not a new world, but a new heaven, a new heaven where the Buddhist holy land is promoted from the human world...
"A poor monk has been in Lingshan for hundreds of days, and the Three Realms have been hundreds of years?"
Xuanzang was confused when he thought that he had studied the Sutra of Knowledge Only during this period and was not aware of the outside world for thousands of years. He finally believed that Bajie and the Sha Monk and Xiao Bailong he had found before were all disciples who had protected him in his search for Buddhist scriptures in the West.
But after searching for a moment in his mind, he still didn't have any memories. He murmured, feeling very sad: "It's really wrong for me to forget my disciples..."
Bajie muttered: "Yes, yes, how could Master forget about us? He only remembers Brother Monkey!"
"This is Tathagata's way of retaining Master. If he knew that you were still in the old world, Master would no longer be in Lingshan..."
Wukong rolled his eyes: "What's more, you and Junior Brother Sha were both heavenly generals in their previous lives. Although they converted to Buddhism, their hearts were biased after all. It is for this reason that the Tathagata refuses to let Master remember..."
Xuanzang found it difficult to accept: "Why am I, Buddha Tathagata, like this?"
Wukong smiled and said: "When Old Sun made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, I was told that the emperors would take turns to do it. Next year when they come to my house, they will ask the Jade Emperor to move out and make way for the Heavenly Palace. The Tathagata took orders to come to my rescue. Seeing that I have great supernatural powers and cannot be easily captured, I still
Used lies..."
"If a somersault comes out of the right palm, it will be regarded as the victory of Lao Sun. There is no need to use swords and soldiers to fight hard. The Tathagata invites the Jade Emperor to live in the west and give up the heavenly palace. If the palm cannot be released, I will return to the lower world as a demon and practice a few more times.
However, the Tathagata did not keep his promise and pressed Old Sun under the Five Elements Mountain with his palm..."
"That's fine. I'm afraid that Tathagata has set his sights on the position of the Jade Emperor and wants to enter the Heavenly Palace and become the Lord of the Three Realms. There will no longer be a peaceful and blissful land!"
When Bajie heard that Brother Monkey kept saying bad things about Buddha, he was obviously a little scared. He shrank his head and said nothing, but Xuanzang shook his head slightly and frowned more. It was obviously difficult to understand why Tathagata Buddha would become like this...
Li Yan looked on and noticed that although Wukong mentioned the past riots in the Heavenly Palace and was suppressed by Tathagata Buddha, there was no trace of hatred or resentment in his tone. There was a bit of laughter and scolding about the Buddha's desire to seize the Heavenly Palace, and he also had a sense of indifference and emptiness.
feel.
This great sage, Equal to Heaven, did not fight to defeat the Buddha, but he was deeply endowed with Buddha nature.
Not surprising.
Among the Buddhist scripture-gathering team on the journey to the West, the monkey was always the one with the most understanding of Buddhism. When Tang Monk was tired and slack and wavered during the scripture-gathering journey, it was the monkey who always encouraged him.
However, the monkey's temperament has always been easily irritated and has not been perfected. Now it seems that even this has been made up for...
"Is this such a carefree scene at the bottom of Mount Sumeru?"
While Li Yan was thinking, Xuanzang also came to his senses: "Wukong, let's not talk about that, you are sealed here, we will rescue you right now!"
Wukong said: "Master, don't worry, Tathagata has too much time to take care of, so he can't suppress me!"
Xuanzang looked at the top of Mount Sumeru and the upside-down area, and wondered: "Then why are you here?"
Wukong explained: "Once I leave, Old Sun, this great Mount Sumeru will be taken away by the Tathagata, turned into mustard seeds, and hidden somewhere. It will be difficult to find it then!"
Bajie couldn't understand: "Brother Monkey, what do you care about this mountain? Just run away first!"
Wukong laughed and scolded: "You idiot, once this Great Sumeru Mountain is built, if I still have a chance, the mother's beard will jump into Tathagata's palm, and I can suppress it with my backhand!"
Li Yan and Xuanzang immediately understood what Wukong meant.
Turning Sumeru into mustard seeds, the great Sumeru Mountain should be hidden as it should be, which is the most powerful expression of supernatural power, rather than simply standing upside down under the spiritual mountain.
It was this great sage who restricted the refining of this sacred mountain and reduced it to a semi-finished product.
Combined with the rumors that Wukong was suppressed under Lingshan Mountain after he defeated Buddha in the Great Willing Realm Fight and opposed Buddhism's eastward movement, it is not so much that Wukong was suppressed as it is that the monkeys held the lifeline of Buddhism's resurgence.
It can be seen that Wukong's growth has far exceeded the period of the Great Sage Qitian in the past, and even formed some kind of check and balance with Tathagata.
At this time, Wukong refused to leave, and even counted with his fingers, he said clearly: "Junior Brother Sha and Junior Brother Bailong are trapped here, you idiot, go and rescue him..."
After saying that, he blew gently, and the hair flew out and landed in front of Bajie, becoming a guide and marking the positions of Sha Monk and Little White Dragon.
Bajie didn't dare to act alone, so he hesitated: "Brother Monkey, how can I go alone?"
The monkey's eyes widened: "Do you still need Master to protect you? Tathagata is not here, and there is nothing dangerous on Lingshan Mountain. Just go and come back as soon as possible!"
Bajie looked at Xuanzang for help, but he also knew that Brother Monkey would definitely not let his master go with him, so he quickly turned to Li Yan.
Li Yanze thought for a moment and asked, "Where is Tathagata Buddha now?"
Wukong said: "If you are not in Lingshan, don't worry about it. One day, you will come here!"
Compared with his previous aggressiveness, Wukong at this time is more like Tathagata, reading scriptures, waiting for the enemy to come, and not doing unnecessary things.
However, although Li Yan was sure of some things, he still felt that the fog shrouding the truth had not diminished, and asked again: "Where are Guanshiyin Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
Wukong said: "When this world was opened, the two Bodhisattvas were originally accompanying the Tathagata, but later they disappeared. They were probably like Lao Sun, who did not want to see Buddhism like this, and were pressed down by the Tathagata at the foot of a mountain..."
Li Yan continued: "As the Great Sage said, I already know a little bit about the situation in Buddhism. What about the Jade Emperor? Was he harmed by the Tathagata?"
"The heaven and earth are being robbed, and the Jade Emperor can't stop it, so don't blame Tathagata!"
Wukong shook his head and asked with a smile: "What, you want to escort me?"
Li Yan narrated the situation of the dragon girl holding the pearl, and also explained Taibai Jinxing's determination: "Not to mention that the Jade Emperor is the co-lord of the three realms, but he should do his best just to help his friends."
When Wukong thought of Taibai Venus, his expression changed, and he felt nostalgic: "That old man is very loyal to the Jade Emperor. He knew that this place was dangerous, but he came to rescue him, so it's okay..."
He looked at the gold thread on Li Yan's wrist: "You have collected the life-saving hair. In that case, I will give this to you. If you can find the old man, I will save him!"
As he spoke, he dug his furry hand beside his ear, pulled out a golden thread like an embroidery needle, and threw it this way.
Li Yan watched the golden thread fly up in an instant, and with the life-saving breath, it instantly merged with his own golden thread. He couldn't help but be surprised: "Could this be the great sage's wishful golden cudgel? Do you really want to lend it to me?"
?”
Just like a military commander needs a weapon that satisfies his wishes, without this wishful golden cudgel, the monkey's strength will be greatly reduced. Several experiences on the westward journey have verified this, especially when King Kong Zhuo took away the golden cudgel.
, but Wukong was so anxious that he scratched his head, but he didn’t expect that he would take the initiative to lend it out now?
Wukong looked at the golden thread made of the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and handed it to him. He seemed a little distressed and grinned: "Old Sun and the Tathagata are gambling and fighting. You don't need it, but you have to treat it well. Don't get trapped in heaven. If you can't get it,
Come back and it will be cheaper for me, Jade Emperor!"
Li Yan was even more impressed, so he naturally stopped refusing and bowed his hands: "Okay."
Seeing that they had finally finished speaking, Bajie hurriedly came over and said, "In that case, the Heavenly Master and Lao Zhu will go to save people together!"
"Go quickly!"
Wukong waved his hand impatiently, pulled Xuanzang and said with a smile: "Master is here, let's talk, and discuss some difficult points in the scripture!"
Not to mention that Xuanzang stayed with Wukong and meditated on the Tripitaka Sutra together. Li Yan and Bajie followed the path back to Lingshan. On the way, the Lingzhu in his sleeves had already discussed it.
"The Tathagata cannot even take back the Great Sumeru Mountain. He must be very weak. He is afraid that both he and the Jade Emperor will suffer..."
"Buddhism wants to take advantage of the calamity of heaven and earth to raise the spiritual mountain to the heaven. Laojun will not stand idly by and watch. Maybe Laojun takes action..."
"No matter what, this is a great opportunity for us to rescue our ancestors!"
The original purpose of this trip was to rescue the suppressed monkeys, let the great sage Qitian come out and mess up the Lingshan Mountain, and take advantage of the confrontation with Tathagata to find the spirit of the ancestor and rescue it.
However, now Wukong is not suppressed, but is suppressing the Great Sumeru Mountain, waiting for the Tathagata to come.
Although the monkeys could not be used in this way, they could get a glimpse of the reality. All the spirits agreed that Tathagata Buddha's current strength was definitely not as strong as imagined, and taking advantage of his weakness was naturally the best time to take action.
As a result, Li Yan's mental projection appeared in front of all the spirits, and their expectant eyes suddenly gathered: "What do you think, the Holy Lord?"
"As you all said, this is the Heavenly Help Spirit Clan."
Li Yan nodded slightly: "The Great Sage Qitian also lent me the Ruyi Golden Cudgel. I would like to use your power to wipe out the enemies outside the Buddhist sect!"
All the spirits were overjoyed, and Lei Yin and others who deeply hated Buddhism were the first to express their support and were willing to pour their own strength into it: "That's what I'm going to do!"
Li Yan didn't blindly deceive him. Judging from the current situation, even he had to admit that the possibility of Tathagata being weak was extremely high. In addition, the Monkey King was not what he used to be, so he could only use his own strength.
Dominate Mount Sumeru and not let Buddhism take it back.
But according to his judgment, the reason for Tathagata's poor condition should not be that the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Being and the Buddha were fighting among themselves for their own selfish desires, but that the First Ancestor had borrowed the great catastrophe of heaven and earth to promote all this behind the scenes.
Therefore, the Eldar's rescue plan was just a misunderstanding caused by not understanding the situation of the ancestors.
At first, they thought that the brilliance of the ancestors above the Lingxiao Palace was supreme, and that as long as they waited for it to wake up, the Spirit Race would be able to control the three realms. However, after discovering that it was just an empty shell, they immediately panicked.
Under the guidance of Li Yan, he wholeheartedly wanted to save the ancestor, but he did not expect that the ancestor might have awakened long ago. It was the influence of the ancestor that caused all the abnormalities in the ancestor of the three religions.
In any case, this is the development he hopes to see.
If the First Ancestor is indeed the real culprit behind all of this, and the Spirit Race mistakenly thinks it is helping the First Ancestor, but in fact it is actually destroying its plan to subvert the Three Realms, it would be of course the best.
If the First Ancestor is indeed asleep, or is simply a fabricated lie, then using the power of the Spirit Clan to clear away the shadows of the past and reestablish the order of the Three Realms would be a great benefit.
"Look, Heavenly Master, there is Junior Brother Sha in front of you!"
After setting the rules, under the guidance of Hairao, the two of them had already shuttled into a space, and Bajie started talking in a loud voice.
Indeed, in the palace in front, Sha Monk has also turned into a stone statue. There are still the Arhats headed by Anuo and Jiaye, surrounding them layer by layer, shouting the Buddha's name: "Namo Amitabha!"
"Junior brother Sha, don't panic, I'm here to save you!"
Bajie always bullied the weak and feared the strong. Seeing that the lineup was still the same as before, he smiled confidently, spat twice on his left and right hands, picked up the rake, and rushed over.
But this time, when the Sanskrit music was sung, Bajie's steps immediately stopped.
Just because of the chanting, the pressure from all directions increased dramatically, and the majestic, thick and endless power suppressed it, forming a deep and thick barrier, which actually restricted the magical power from the outside to the inside.
The most important thing is that above the heads of the venerable Arhats, the outline of an immeasurable Buddha slowly emerges. It seems to be in the infinite distance, existing forever, and emitting immeasurable light just a few feet away.
"Tathagata? Didn't you say you're not in Lingshan? It's all the fault of that monkey, he didn't say anything right!"
Bajie's face turned pale, and he was about to get scared, but he heard a slightly excited voice coming from the side: "This is not Tathagata Buddha, but he came at a good time, and he is about to test the power of this stick!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yan raised his hand, and the golden thread on his wrist turned into an iron rod.
The golden cudgel was filled with brilliant treasures and brilliant lights. He held this wish-fulfilling golden cudgel in his hand, and it had another kind of majesty. It gathered immeasurable power and knocked it straight down towards the phantom of the Buddha.
