Because he asked the question too eagerly, he offended the ancestor. The ancestor got off the high platform, hit Wukong three times on the head with a ruler, put his hands behind his back, walked inside, and disappeared.
The disciples of Patriarch Bodhi immediately glared at each other angrily. Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
It has been several years since he came to Xieyue Sanxing Cave in Fangcun Mountain, Lingtai.
Unlike Gu Cheng's lectures on Qilin Mountain, which could be heard by all kinds of animals and were free and easy, the Tao taught by Patriarch Bodhi was certainly more comprehensive and profound, but the serious and depressing atmosphere made him feel uncomfortable.
"Master is right, it's not just about longevity, it's also about freedom. If longevity is just tasteless, what's the point?"
With this idea in mind, when Wukong followed the old-fashioned hint, he came to the backyard in the middle of the night. After getting the approval of Patriarch Bodhi, he asked: "Teacher, after becoming immortal, can I be free and unrestrained?"
"You hozen, your nature is hard to change. How is it possible for you to be unrestrained and do whatever you want?"
Ancestor Bodhi said: "The immortals in this world include heavenly immortals, gods, earthly immortals, the Five Dou Xingjun in the upper eight caves, the Taiyi Heavenly Immortals, the Jade Emperor in the middle eight caves, the Haiyue Immortals, the Netherworld Cult Master in the lower eight caves, and the Earth of Notes
Immortals are all under the control of the Jade Emperor."
Sun Wukong wondered: "Why should we be controlled?"
Patriarch Bodhi said: "Heaven and earth are fixed and mixed. The Jade Emperor is in charge of everything among gods, immortals, Buddhas, saints, humans, and the underworld. His power is boundless. He is the Holy Lord of the firmament!"
Sun Wukong asked again: "Has he survived three disasters and five tribulations?"
"nature!"
Patriarch Bodhi said with a smile: "Since the beginning of chaos, when the heaven and earth began to turn dark and yellow, the Jade Emperor has endured a thousand, seven hundred and fifty calamities to achieve this position!"
"Does it mean you are noble if you have experienced many calamities? One thousand, seven hundred and fifty calamities..."
Sun Wukong felt that he could not achieve this goal, and he couldn't help scratching his head and scratching his head, feeling very distressed.
"You will be promoted to the rank of top-grade Celestial Immortal and listed among the treasures of the Cloud Class. You can serve in the Heavenly Court in the future!"
Patriarch Bodhi said: "I have the divine power of Tiangang, with a total of thirty-six transformations, and the magical power of Earthly Evil, with a total of seventy-two transformations. Which one do you want to learn?"
Wukong's heart moved and he raised his hands: "All the disciples want to learn!"
Patriarch Bodhi stared at him, and the light flashed slightly in the depths of his eyes: "Then I will teach you, how much you can learn depends on your own luck!"
Wukong bowed down with great joy and listened carefully. He found that although what Bodhi Patriarch taught was also Tiangang Earthsha, one hundred and eight changes, it was completely different from what he had learned in Qilin Mountain before.
According to Gu Cheng's teachings, each type has its corresponding counterpart. The minor supernatural powers of the Earthly Demons are distinct, while the great magical powers of the Tiangang are inclusive, from shallow to deep, with distinct levels;
According to the teachings of the ancestor Bodhi, it is the nature of heaven and earth, and the treasures of all things. No matter whether they are gods, humans or animals, once they are cultivated and transformed, they can all be transformed by supernatural powers, and Tiangang and earth evils will be on the same level.
Both of them are the essence of a big world, and there is no difference between them. They are purely different ways. When Sun Wukong compared them with each other, he couldn't help but feel happy. He just felt that they were drawing parallels, and the harvest was so great that it is hard to describe.
Seeing him immersed in it, Patriarch Bodhi sat motionless, but following the changes in Wukong's magical power, a colorful branch penetrated into the void and headed towards Dongsheng Shenzhou.
Qilin Mountain.
Gu Cheng was still sitting under the waterfall practicing, but he didn't see Xue Luo King and the beasts sitting down. Suddenly, his whole body was shocked and he opened his eyes.
I saw a colorful branch breaking through the void and brushing towards the top of the mountain.
It is the dharma treasure of Patriarch Bodhi, which is the most precious treasure of merit along with the Lotus Platform of the Twelve Grades and the Five Directional Flags. It is a wonderful tree of seven treasures transformed from the flower of merit that created the world.
"Sure enough, it's here!"
Gu Cheng's eyes narrowed.
This attack does not seem to have any fireworks at all, but it is actually a blow from Hunyuan Daozu, which contains immeasurable magical power and supreme magic. Once implemented, the entire Qilin Mountain will be brushed into it, suppressing it and leaving no room for resistance.
When the stone monkey was named Wukong, Gu Cheng was sure that Patriarch Bodhi was secretly paying attention to it. The stone monkey was born early and went to the mountain to learn skills, which was beyond the expectations of the Hunyuan Taoist ancestor.
This is normal, because his early birth is related to the Nuwa Stone, and Gu Cheng's whereabouts are related to the Donghuang Bell, both of which are artifacts.
The artifact also contains the power of the origin. The Hunyuan Dao Ancestor calculates the secrets of heaven and can include all things in the world, but there is no way to include existences of the same level.
Daozu is a chess player. It is difficult to play chess and turn your opponent into a chess piece.
Patriarch Bodhi couldn't figure out the reason for the stone monkey's change, so he took it for granted that other Hunyuan had intervened. Therefore, knowing that Sun Wukong was studying in Qilin Mountain, he still suppressed it. It was only at this moment that he used his magical powers as a guide to suddenly attack.
Gu Cheng had the upper hand and had already prepared a response. A twelve-grade golden lotus rotated and sat on it.
See through the mist of morning dew, see the impermanence of life and death, possess great wisdom, and be indestructible.
If this move were to be seen by the Buddhists in Hongmeng World, they would definitely gnash their teeth.
Because this is the essence of Buddhism, Gu Cheng obtained it by understanding the mystery after suppressing the shadow of the twelve-level lotus platform.
He even went so far as to recreate the great formation of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
In an instant, lotuses with golden light emerged in the sky, and the fragrance was like a tide. Thousands of golden lotuses trapped the Seven Treasures Tree in it.
"Senior brother? You have transcended, do you still want to block my way?"
The voice of Patriarch Bodhi comes from the Seven Treasures Tree and goes straight into the soul.
The secret knowledge of sound and color, and the impermanent dharmas.
The wonderful tree of seven treasures turns and brushes, flowers fall from the sky, and golden lotuses surge from the ground, melting into each other.
In a moment, cracks appeared in the golden lotus, as if it was about to break into pieces.
The twelve-pin lotus platform rotates, the cracks heal, and it is restored.
But the light from the Seven Treasures Tree washed away, boundlessly, and just as it healed, it cracked again.
Such healing and breaking, the cycle goes back and forth, the Seven Treasures Tree keeps moving forward, and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaozong keeps retreating. In this fleeting, yet wonderful collision, Gu Cheng finally figured out the status of the twelfth-grade Golden Lotus.
.
It is not a real twelve-grade lotus platform, but a mark of time.
This kind of branding is not arranged randomly. As early as the destruction of the Hongmeng Great World Demon Court, Amitabha arranged it through Emperor Liujing.
The Imperial Liquid represents the glory of an ancient era, and is itself transformed by the vitality of heaven and earth. The twelve-grade lotus seal is hidden in it, which deceives all existence, or in other words, even if it is discovered, it can be regarded as eradicating the root and not letting anyone know.
Used to revive the demon clan.
In fact, Amitabha definitely has other intentions.
As Patriarch Bodhi said, if the long-lost Amitabha Buddha is truly transcendent, this mark may be the key reminder left to Buddhism.
But the strange thing is that the twelve-grade lotus seal finally fell into the hands of Gu Cheng, the great enemy of Buddhism. What kind of unexpected changes happened in it?
"Just take this opportunity and let me take a good look!"
Gu Cheng's eyes were bright, the Donghuang Bell trembled, its loud sound sounded, and it officially landed in the center of the lotus platform.
