An old monk with a skinny face was floating quietly in front of Dongfang Yu. He did not have the solemn look on his face like that of the Buddha of the Heavens. He was not wearing a luxurious red cassock. Instead, he was just wearing a crescent-white plain monk's robe.
There was no golden Buddha's light, and there was no lotus throne. He was just wearing a pair of coarse cloth shoes, and he didn't even have a string of Buddhist beads in his hand. If he hadn't been in the Great Leiyin Temple, if he hadn't appeared at this time, this withered face would have The old monk is just like an ordinary monk.
However, Dongfang Yu took a closer look at the old monk. Judging from his appearance, he was very similar to the Tathagata Buddha. When he uttered the Buddha's name, he thought it was like countless people speaking at the same time. This old monk looked like , which makes people feel a little weird.
"Are you? Tathagata?" Looking at the old monk in front of him, Dongfang Yu frowned and looked at it carefully for a moment, and asked with some uncertainty.
Judging from the appearance, he is indeed Tathagata Buddha, but his appearance and demeanor are completely different.
Of course, the most important thing is that Dongfang Yu can feel the calmness of the sea from this old monk, but the power is extremely profound. The numbers displayed on the energy tester can be regarded as confirming Dongfang Yu's conjecture.
The energy value of 112 also shows that the opponent is very powerful.
"I am Tathagata, but Tathagata is not me." However, regarding Dongfang Yu's words, the old monk just said with a calm smile, shaking his head slightly, and the layered sounds gave people an indescribable weird feeling.
"Are you Tathagata? How did you become like this?" Looking at the old monk in front of him, Dongfang Yu felt a little surprised.
He is here to level the Lingshan Mountain. What kind of preparations the Tathagata will have is within Dongfang Yu's expectation. Whether it is powerful supernatural powers, magic weapons, or even formations, Dongfang Yu can accept them. What he just said During the battle, Tathagata huddled and did not come out, which almost confirmed Dongfang Yu's conjecture.
Indeed, the current Tathagata's appearance has changed drastically, which is obviously an arrangement made to deal with himself. But what makes Dongfang Yu stunned is, why does the energy value of this Tathagata not rise but fall? It only has an energy value of about 10,000? This is higher than before When fighting in heaven, is it even worse?
This is very strange. Tathagata made preparations to deal with himself, but after preparations, his strength became even lower?
This surprised Dongfang Yu. Could it be that there was something wrong with his preparation?
"I've always been like this..." No matter what, Tathagata, who is dressed in white monk clothes this month, has a slight smile on his face. It seems that he and Dongfang Yu are not on both sides of the battle, but friends who have not seen each other for many years are here. Chatting as usual.
Without waiting for Dongfang Yu to continue asking questions, the Tathagata followed up and asked: "Why did Dongfang Jade's benefactor come to my Lingshan to cause trouble? If it is because of the actions of Heaven, I think your primary target for revenge should be Heaven, right? ?”.
Tathagata Buddha, this is blaming the Jade Emperor.
However, if you want to say it, what Tathagata Buddha said is actually correct. After all, Dongfang Jade and Sun Wukong disrupted the peach festival, so Heaven has to deal with them. In the final analysis, the core of the battle is still between Dongfang Jade and Heaven. Tathagata Buddha was just dragged by the Jade Emperor to help him in his fists.
In short, Sun Wukong is the principal culprit and Dongfang Jade is an accomplice in causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace and disrupting the peach festival.
Similarly, if Dongfang Jade wants revenge now, Heaven should be his main target, and the Great Leiyin Temple in Lingshan should be his secondary target.
But now, Dongfang Jade didn't bring trouble to Heaven, but he came to trouble himself first. Doesn't this make sense logically?
Tathagata's words made Dongfang Yu smile in a low voice. In fact, Dongfang Yu naturally understood this truth. In the final analysis, it is true that Tathagata can only be regarded as a secondary target of revenge.
However, the Heavenly Court has already offered compensation. As the Lord of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor made this gesture, and Dongfang Jade accepted it as soon as it was good. After all, with the apricot-yellow flag protecting him, he could not really kill the Jade Emperor.
As for Buddhism, Dongfang Jade is unyielding, mainly because of Sun Wukong.
No matter what, if I don't want thousands of people to die because of me, but want to save the monkey, I can only let Tathagata personally remove the Buddha.
Secondly, perhaps because he has traveled so many planes, Dongfang Jade has always had issues with Buddhism, so deep down in his heart, he has a more or less instinctive dislike of Buddhism.
There is strength in numbers, and there are advantages to having strength in numbers. For example, if you are looking for a treasure, or attacking somewhere, the more people the better, but similarly, there is strength in numbers.
weakness.
Just like now, Dongfang Yu's strength may not be able to completely destroy Buddhism alone, but similarly, with Dongfang Yu's current strength, he can come and leave whenever he wants. He is well versed in the essence of guerrilla warfare.
You are a dignified Buddhist, and your family has a big business, so you can't keep spending it with yourself, right? It is precisely because of this that the Jade Emperor decisively took out the Fantian Seal as compensation. Otherwise, let's forget about anything else, and use the Jade Emperor's Xinghuang Banner
How can Dongfang Jade resist him?
"Yes, what you said makes sense, but after all, that monkey was suppressed by you. I have no other requirements. As long as you agree to take down the Buddha's cover and let the monkey go free, the matter between Buddhism and me will be wiped out."
how?".
Dongfangyu showed his Super Saiyan state, quietly suspended in mid-air, and made his request. This was also the main purpose of Dongfangyu coming to Daileiyin Temple.
Dongfang Yu's words brought a hint of joy to the faces of the senior Buddhist officials.
In the eyes of these high-level Buddhists, it doesn't matter what Sun Wukong is like. He is just an unruly monster monkey. As long as he can let the monster monkey go, Dongfang Jade is willing to stop causing trouble in Lingshan? This matter is completely worth it.
.
Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Tathagata who was wearing moon-white monk robes.
However, regarding Dongfang Yu's request, the old monk lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.
After waiting like this for a while, he raised his eyelids, glanced at Dongfang Yu, and said, "Can this condition be changed?".
"What!? You can't agree to this condition? Why!?" The words of the old monk made the faces of the senior Buddhist officials change. They looked at each other with astonishment on their faces.
It’s hard to understand why you are so obsessed with the demon monkey? Is there anything about the demon monkey that you don’t know?
The senior Buddhist officials looked at each other in silence, apparently unable to understand the old monk's decision.
Even the Guanyin Bodhisattva next to him couldn't help but speak, saying: "Although Sun Wukong also has the power to reach heaven and earth, he is just a monster monkey after all. Master, why do you...".
"Heaven's secrets must not be leaked." However, regarding the words of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the old monk just shook his head slightly and had no intention of explaining in detail.
The spread of Buddhism to the east is inevitable, and it is also related to the rise and fall of Buddhism as a whole. However, the time is not right now, so we must not lie.
Why did Tathagata Buddha rush to protect him as soon as the Jade Emperor opened his mouth? He even fought with Dongfang Jade to the point of fighting to the point of death and almost died?
If it weren't for the fact that Sun Wukong was a man of destiny and it was related to the spread of Buddhism to the East, and Tathagata had to put in some effort, and it was difficult to solve it, we would just have found a reason to retreat.
"Huh, sure enough, it's not that simple to let Buddhism let Sun Wukong go. We still have to rely on fists to solve this problem..." Dongfang Yu didn't feel strange about the old monk's words, but she sighed secretly in her heart.
At the same time, Dongfang Yu raised his palm, and the huge fantian seal turned into a small seal again and landed on Dongfang Yu's palm.
"Is there really no other way? Donor Dongfang, what happened to the Monkey King is destined, so why should you..." Looking at Dongfang Yu's appearance, it was obvious that the talks had broken down. The old monk's
He sighed secretly and spoke.
"What is destiny? I just believe that everyone's destiny should be in their own hands. What secrets cannot be leaked? Isn't it about the pilgrimage to the West five hundred years later?" Before the old monk finished speaking, Dongfang Yu said
He waved his hand and interrupted him directly.
The old monk's expression had always been relatively calm, but when Dongfang Yu said these words, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at Dongfang Yu in surprise: "You, you actually know about this?".
"Stop talking nonsense, since you are unwilling to agree to my conditions, then use your fists to solve the problem." Dongfang Yu sacrificed the Fantian Seal in his hand again, staring at the old monk with burning eyes.
Under the control of Dongfang Jade, this heavenly seal turned into a bright light and flew out directly.
This time Fan Tianyin did not turn into the huge Buzhou Mountains, but directly hit the old monk's head.
"Thousand Buddha's Hands!".
Seeing Dongfang Yu's Fan Tianyin slamming towards him, the old man's expression condensed, and he stretched out his palm to grab the Fan Tianyin.
The densely packed palm prints looked like there were thousands of palms.
Bang bang bang...
However, under the terrifying power of Fan Tianyin, the phantoms of these palms were all directly smashed, until finally, Fan Tianyin hit the old monk's palm hard.
There was a click, and the old monk's arm was twisted into a shocking arc. It was obvious that the arm had been severely broken by this heavenly seal.
"Huh? Isn't this guy really not Tathagata? Then who is he?".
Seeing that this old monk was unable to block even one move from Tianyin, and his arm was broken off by the shock, Dongfang Yu's suspicion seemed to be confirmed.
