Sun Wukong was suppressed, which should make Buddhism very happy.
But this is not the case. In Leiyin Temple, the Buddhist people are actually not happy.
Fooling and suppressing creatures like monkeys is actually not a pleasure.
Any living being with high cultivation level will hardly achieve great achievements without their own pride and persistence.
Their own pride and persistence include being able to kill the enemy and fight the enemy openly, but fooling a weak person is not in line with Taoism.
Under such a premise, no one is excited about Sun Wukong being suppressed, which may also be a kind of regret and helplessness.
"Amitabha, follow the plan. When Sun Wukong's merits are completed, I will personally explain it to him," Tathagata Buddha said.
"Yes, World Honored One." Everyone agreed.
"It will take five hundred years to suppress Sun Wukong this time, and five hundred years later, the Journey to the West will begin."
"This?" Guanshiyin asked: "World Honored One, is five hundred years too short? In such a short period of time, Sun Wukong can hardly gain anything. Why not suppress it for a longer time, so that he can have enough time to realize and stabilize his cultivation?
For the sake of harmony."
"I also think so, but the two saints in the immortal world and the great forces in the ancient world only discussed for five hundred years. I also know that in just five hundred years, it is difficult to hone Sun Wukong's character and Taoist heart. But time waits for no one, and I don't know.
It’s not up to anyone.”
The Tathagata sighed for it.
After just five hundred years of training, it is difficult for Sun Wukong to strengthen his Taoist heart, and it is also difficult for Sun Wukong to achieve great gains in just five hundred years.
If the Five Hundred Yuan Society is suppressed, even if it lasts for 500,000 years, then maybe Sun Wukong will return with all his glory wiped out.
However, time does not allow for it. In just five hundred years, Sun Wukong must have appeared, and he is still the same as he is now, and it is difficult to understand and change.
"World Honored One, if we only have these short five hundred years, it will be difficult for Sun Wukong to understand, or it will only accumulate his hatred without any element of testing him. In this way, when the five hundred years are up, what should we do?
Control him?" Guanyin was worried.
"Without him, we can only continue to imprison and use means to imprison." Tathagata said firmly.
As for how to use means to imprison, there is no need to explain it in detail, the Buddhas are very clear about it.
Just like putting a nose ring on disobedient horses.
Thinking about it this way, this monkey is even more uncomfortable!
During the mirroring technique, the Buddhists were speechless as they looked at the monkey who was still resisting and letting the thunder, lightning, wind and fire hit him.
"Golden Chanzi!" Tathagata said at this time.
"World Honored One!"
"Amitabha, if my Buddhist sect is prosperous, I still need a helper. Are you willing to reincarnate and come down to earth to become this helper? Can you be the Monkey King's teacher and inspire and guide him with your Buddha nature?" Tathagata said.
"World Honored One, my disciple is unwilling." Jin Chanzi said.
"Why?"
"World Honored One, I cannot watch a foolish monkey struggle. I cannot play the role of a master and watch the disciple live in a falsehood." Jin Chanzi said truthfully.
"Amitabha, you are very good. It seems that I am not wrong about you." The Tathagata smiled slightly.
This golden cicada was a golden cicada on a Bodhi tree in his home when he was still Sakyamuni and before he became a Buddha.
Influenced by his Buddha-nature, he was able to achieve Taoism and good fortune.
Later, Sakyamuni became the Tathagata Buddha, and Jin Chanzi followed him into Buddhism.
This disciple is kind-hearted, but has a strong Taoist heart. Although his foundation is poor, his Buddha's heart can make up for it. The Tathagata is very optimistic about Jin Chanzi.
Looking for a merciful and Buddha-hearted guide to guide Sun Wukong, Jin Chanzi is the only one to choose him, not to mention that as the leader of Buddhism, Tathagata sees that his disciple Jin Chanzi is also the right person.
After praising Jin Chanzi, Tathagata said again: "Of course, it is you who must belong to me. It is a destiny. As for your worries, there is no need to worry about it. You will not have any memory when you are reincarnated, unless your merits are perfect."
Even if I say this...
"World Honored One, I still can't do it. Moreover, this is a task with immeasurable merit. I would like other seniors in my Buddhist sect to do it."
"Jin Chanzi, you have to know that this is not up to you. We, the two Buddhist saints, are both struggling in the immortal world. There is nothing that can stop the prosperity of Buddhism. Moreover, this is the general trend and the tacit evolution of the entire immortal world. You have no choice.
!”
Tathagata sighed, looked at the determined Jin Chanzi, and said: "That's it, that's all, let me do the bad things. If I don't go to hell, who will? Go!"
"Wow!"
There was no choice, even Jin Chanzi couldn't resist.
Tathagata waved his hand, and the golden cicada turned into a golden light and disappeared into Leiyin Temple.
Jin Chanzi needs to go through reincarnation within reincarnation, and will suffer disasters and die while preaching in every life.
In the tenth life, Sun Wukong will be rescued and Sun Wukong will be taken to the west to obtain the true scriptures.
…………
And time flashed forward for nearly a hundred years.
Sun Wukong, who was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain, finally stopped struggling and seemed to have accepted his fate.
Sun Wukong's century-long struggle began with resistance.
But in the end, it was because I couldn't figure it out, and I kept thinking about the reason, and I was in a daze, and I instinctively resisted.
Finally, a hundred years later, he suddenly figured it out and stopped resisting on his own initiative.
Ask yourself: "Why?"
Why is this happening? Why is it that no one can defeat me despite going through the Dragon Palace, hell, and heaven palace? But in the end Tathagata easily suppressed me.
"Why is this?" Sun Wukong roared unwillingly.
In a short life of less than a thousand years, from a free monkey, one day I knew that I might die, so I sought advice from a teacher, and finally learned the Taoist method and achieved the immortality of the Golden Immortal.
After his success, the world's incomparable kindness to him made everything go smoothly for him. It was hard not to find an enemy, and even if there were dangerous enemies, he would always win in the end.
This unreal illusion made him think he was invincible many times.
Later, when he entered heaven, it was not that Sun Wukong was too arrogant, but that he saw gods who were not as good as him, but occupied a high position. No matter who he was, he would want to be a high official.
But he was looked down upon by Heavenly Court everywhere, and he was lied to repeatedly. Finally, the words of the Seven Fairies made him completely explode.
With what happened at this moment.
Sun Wukong was very confused and wanted someone to tell him why.
Unable to figure it out, Sun Wukong was silent. Qiu Lai Dong still couldn't figure it out.
"Monkey, are you dead?"
Sun Wukong was confused when he suddenly heard someone calling him.
"who?"
Sun Wukong was startled in confusion.
Immediately he saw Yang Jian in front of him, who was as indifferent and calm as ever.
"Not yet dead." Sun Wukong replied.
He shook his head violently again and calmed down for a while before saying: "So it's you, Three Eyes, here to see my grandson's jokes?"
"Huh, I'm not that superficial. I came here to see if you were dead. I would be sorry if you died. It's a pity that an interesting monkey has disappeared."
"Ha ha"
Sun Wukong seemed to suddenly come to life, "Yang Jian, go ahead and dream about your dream. I, the old Sun, will not die. Even if you die, I will not die."
"Really? I'm relieved now."
The two of them talked incessantly, looking like they were talking nonsense and without logic.
But both Yang Jian and Sun Wukong have a feeling of being close friends. Even if they met once before, they still fought each other.
"Yang Jian, my old grandson is very confused,..." Sun Wukong was about to ask you.
He was interrupted by Yang Jian, "Don't ask, I don't know anything, and I won't tell you if I know it. I'll make you a damn monkey."
"Hey, you three-eyed man, if I go out, I will definitely beat you up." Sun Wukong grinned in air.
"You come out first and then talk." Yang Jian ignored his threat.
It's been a long time...
Sun Wukong was silent for a while. His face was as red as a monkey's butt, and he asked sibilantly: "Yang Jian, can you go to the West to find Tathagata Buddha? Just say that I am an old Sun, I am an old child..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted again. It seemed that Yang Jian knew him better than he did.
"Shut up, put away your pride first, before it's time to sell it at a low price, otherwise I will look down on you."
"You!" After saying this, Sun Wukong became even more angry, angry at being exposed, and angry at being slapped in the face after being exposed.
"Okay, it's time for me to leave. I'll come see you again in a hundred years. Don't die then." Yang Jian seemed to want to piss the monkey off, and left without waiting for Sun Wukong to scold him.
Yang Jian left, and Sun Wukong was stunned for a long time!
"Boom!"
Suddenly there was a loud thunder and a heavy rain came.
"Ah, oh, oh, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, thief."
Sun Wukong didn't know whether it was him crying or the heavy rain falling from the sky.
In short, he refused to admit that he was crying and regarded it as rain from the sky.
The rain passed and Sun Wukong was silent.
Staring dully ahead, a piece of land in front of him suddenly moved very, very small.
After a long time, it turned out that a peach tree broke out of the ground, slowly breaking free from the darkness underground and facing the blue sky and sunshine.
One year later!
"Well!" Sun Wukong's heart skipped a beat, as if he came to life.
"Peach tree!" Three years later, he said these two words again.
"Grow up quickly and bear peaches." Three years later, Sun Wukong said these words.
result!
"Bang!"
After six years, the peach tree grew up and bore fruit. A peach fell. Just after Sun Wukong said, "Grow up soon," he immediately gave it to him, indicating that you were too late. The peach tree has already matured.
"呲呲" Sun Wukong burst into anger, damn Taozi, did he bully him?
But I was suddenly startled. Didn't I just see it sprouting? Why did it mature so quickly?
"It's so fast, my old grandson is almost stunned, haha..."
Like a crazy monkey, he talks nonsense, doesn't mean what he says, and behaves strangely.
But! The arrival and departure of Yang Jian, the heavy rain falling in the sky, and the fact that six years passed quickly after the heavy rain, and the peach grew up and matured and fell on his head. These seemingly unrelated actions made Sun Wukong alive.
"Hey!" Sun Wukong took a bite of the peach, "It's good, very sweet, very sweet. It tastes better than the flat peaches in Heaven, but not as good as the peaches in Huaguo Mountain, my old grandson."
"My grandson's Huaguo Mountain is where the most delicious peaches are...wait, I will eat them when I go out."
After swallowing the peach in several mouthfuls, Sun Wukong spat out the peach core far away.
He felt that this peach had 'rescued' him, so he had to be loyal and spit out the peach core far away so that it could take root and sprout.
"You have won for the time being! However, I will not be easily defeated by you. You can't defeat me, huh!"
Sun Wukong roared into the sky, and it didn't matter whether others could hear him or not, he had to say what he had to say.
…………
At this scene, not only Buddhists breathed a sigh of relief.
Chi You, the headquarter of the human race in the spiritual world who was optimistic about the monkeys, Ji Meng, the master of the demon race who had settled in the spiritual world, Xing Tian, the master of the spiritual world of the Wu tribe, and the masters of the three clans of dragon, phoenix and unicorn, all smiled slightly.
This monkey is good. He didn't disappoint them, so he is worthy of his reputation.
If this small blow makes them frustrated and broken, they may be tempted to kill Sun Wukong.
It's a very contradictory thought. They were the ones who couldn't bear to see the monkey being teased before, but if the monkey softens and becomes cowardly, they will be the ones who want to kill it.
This may be the pride of these strong men!
The monkey survived and everything continued.
At first, there was a fierce fight over the person who would follow the monkey through the ordeal.
Later, the spiritual world finally became the headquarters of the Sanqing Dynasty, so the rolling curtain generals belonging to the Tongtian Saint camp became one.
Under the sect of the Yuanshi Saint, Marshal Tianpeng became a candidate.
I don't have many disciples, so I won't argue. It's all for the benefit of the Three Pure Ones, and the forces in the fairy world won't agree to it.
Finally, Dragon King Ao Guang, based on his own merits and the monkey's acting achievements, gave his incompetent child Xiao Bailong a candidate.
After the dust settled, arrangements began to be made, reincarnation after reincarnation, and memory sealing.
Liusha River, the deep mountains outside Gaolaozhuang, and Bailongyuan welcomed three arranged candidates.
In addition, each of the eighty-one difficulties is also the object of competition, and almost every one of them will be disputed for a long time.
It took nearly ten years of quarreling to finally arrange it.
To put it simply, many great forces and saints entered the disaster together to provide Buddhism with an opportunity to rise.
The more people participate, the more Buddhism will gain in the end. At the same time, they will also gain more due to their participation.
This is beneficial to both parties and complements each other.
Therefore, in the very powerful Eighty-One Difficulties, almost the entire immortal world’s powerful tribes, including the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Tribes, the Lich Tribe, the Sage Sect, the Saint’s Sect, the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and the gods with backgrounds in the Heavenly Court, even in order to please the Wuliang Sect, the Wuliang Sect
They were all assigned several.
Zhen Yuanzi sympathized with the monkey, and because he was dissatisfied with the monkey's plight, the dignified sage separated himself and went to Wuzhuang Temple to give him hardships and achieve success.
After all, the greater the hardship, the greater the achievement.
The Wuliang Sect still had a few spots, but Taichu didn't use them, so the sect divided them among themselves. Xiong Tiandu arranged for a junior generation called Black Bear Jing, which also became a hardship.
Great saints including the Fox Clan and the Queen Mother of the West also participated.
In short, everyone adds fuel to the fire, makes the fire a little brighter, and then earns some merit for the disciples or disciples.
No matter how bright the fire in Buddhism is, it will burn out one day, and that’s when it’s time to put out the fire.
It can add fuel to your fire, but it can also put out the fire.
After making some arrangements, we are waiting for the monk from the East, who will be reincarnated six times not far away.
As long as the monk comes, the real drama will begin!
