"Haha." The monkey, whose head was covered with weeds and dead leaves, laughed coldly, "What do you know, you bald donkey? Why don't I dare to walk out of this mountain? I only stay here to practice. Besides, I
If I don't appear, Heaven will always be wary of me, and they won't go too far in surrounding and killing the monsters."
The monk also laughed and said, "You have been suppressed for five hundred years. Is your cultivation so weak that you can't even detect major events in the world? Over the years, heaven has not only stopped to surround and kill demons in the world, you
Don’t you really know that the 1.5 million demon army you brought out back then doesn’t even have 300,000 left?”
"You stay here. On the one hand, you are unable to break through the suppression of the Buddha. On the other hand, you are afraid. You are afraid that even if you return to the Three Realms, you will inevitably be suppressed by others. Even if the Buddha does not take action this time, the Three Purities
What about the Jade Emperor? Won't they suppress you? After all, the former Monkey King is still afraid after all."
"Get out!" Monkey said that word coldly.
The monk was not angry, but looked at him calmly, "No matter how long you stay here, heaven will still eliminate demons, and the people you cherish will still leave you one by one. Do you have any choice? From now on.
When you walked out of that mountain and put up that flag, you had no choice."
The monkey raised his head and looked at the quiet and elegant monk in white. He didn't say a word, just stared at him, and the monk also extended his right hand to him.
"I ask you, do you dare to bet with a poor monk again?"
The monkey closed his eyes and accidentally fell asleep.
The monk smiled slightly when he saw this, and after taking off the Buddha's seal, he turned around and left on his horse. Before leaving, he said, "The poor monk is waiting for you twenty miles away."
After the monk walked out for a long time, the monkey opened his eyes.
He looked up at the dusky sky, where a row of wild geese flew slowly past. As he watched, the monkey's eyes gradually became lowered.
"Actually, what he said is correct."
Soon, there was a shaking sound like the earth was shattering.
————————
While walking on the road to the West with his cheap master, the monkey asked him many questions about what sutra he wanted to get, but the monk only said that he wanted to get his sutra.
The monkey asked him what the sutra was about. The monk said it was about universal salvation. The World-Honored One believed that all living beings can save themselves and can practice nirvana, but not everyone can become a Buddha. He believed that if the mind and nature are clear, everyone can become a Buddha.
All can save all sentient beings.
The monkey asked him what the hell are you talking about? Can these Buddha-like things help me break through the Great Immortal of Hunyuan?
The monk smiled and said, of course. If you understand your mind and see your nature, break through the barriers in your heart, and be saved by a poor monk, then even if you are not a Buddha, you can break through the realm of the Great Immortal of Hunyuan.
The monkey stared at him suspiciously, wondering if the bald donkey was lying to him?
"For a monk like you who has no strength, it is indeed difficult to go to the West, but you don't need me to escort you, right?" Monkey asked suspiciously.
But the monk shook his head, "You don't understand. This road to the west will be extremely difficult. The righteous gods of all immortal families will release their mounts and spirit beasts to set up obstacles for the poor monk along the way. To put it simply, they want to
kill me."
"Why?"
Xuanzang smiled and said, "Because my path is different from theirs, many people don't want me to go to Lingshan. Therefore, this journey will be full of murderous intent."
Xuanzang looked towards the horizon with deep eyes, "In other words, no one will be willing to help the poor monk except you. In fact, we are very similar. Neither is recognized by the world, nor is understood by all living beings, so...
....”
"Isn't it just to protect you? I know, I just hope you don't let me down." After saying that, the monkey led the white dragon horse and led Xuanzang towards the road ahead.
"But I have something to say in advance. If you lose in the future, or if you still cannot let me break through to the Great Immortal Daluo Hunyuan, I will personally take your life."
"Haha, the poor monk is waiting for that day."
————————
Along the way, the doubts in the monkey's mind became more and more serious. This dead monk talked about saving all sentient beings every day, but it was true that he did a lot of good deeds and solved the dangers of many people. But why did he accept two more people?
disciple?
Looking at his second junior brother with a pig-headed face, and then at his third junior brother who looked extremely gloomy, Monkey narrowed his eyes and looked at them curiously.
This second junior brother is said to be Marshal Tianpeng back then. Monkey has never seen him, but he has fought against the Tianhe navy, but was defeated by Monkey's demon army in a few blows. Even all the commanders were beaten by Monkey.
Killed.
Monkey didn't take it to heart at the time. After all, except for the Nantianmen Heavenly Army, the other heavenly armies in this heaven were not very powerful in combat. However, the chat between the Monkey King and Yu Tao King after the battle caught his attention.
"It's unimaginable. The Tianhe naval army that swept the world in the past has turned into this. The 100,000 celestial army and my 200,000 demon army fought fiercely and couldn't even last for an hour, so they were defeated by our army.
Throw away your armor."
"Haha, it's not unacceptable. The famous Tianpeng Zhenjun was knocked down to earth. The Tianhe Navy rebelled collectively and was suppressed by the Heavenly Court. One hundred thousand soldiers of the Tianhe Navy with great military exploits are now suppressed in the Heavenly Court.
In the sky prison, what we just fought against was just the newly formed Tianhe naval army. How strong can it be? It is no longer the same army that killed us and ran away."
"Oh, I feel a little nostalgic. Lord Peng was really a person that day. Even King Bifang suffered a lot at his hands. We were even chased by his Tianhe navy back then and had no way to escape.
, it’s unimaginable that it has turned out like this now.”
Recalling the conversation between the Yu Tao King and the Monkey King, the monkey thought carefully in his heart. Hearing what they said, Marshal Tianpeng was at least a Da Luo Jinxian, but why was the pig demon in front of him just a Taiyi Jinxian?
?Even if you are demoted to the mortal world, you won't be able to break through even the Great Luo Celestial Immortal after so many years, right?
Huh? The monkey looked at the sleeping second junior brother, and after his fiery eyes were revealed, the monkey nodded slowly, his eyes full of meaning and said, "So that's it. It seems that he has embarked on that path."
Turning his gaze to his third junior brother, who was extremely gloomy all day long, Houhou thought about it carefully. If he remembered correctly, he should be the rolling curtain god general who had fought against Monkey in the past.
Later, I heard that he accidentally broke a glass lamp and was knocked down to the mortal world. He had to suffer seven sword piercings through the heart every day. It's no wonder that he always looked like he wanted to kill everyone. You know
During the bloody battle with his Huaguoshan demon army, he worked extremely hard.
Seeing Sha Wujing sitting there with a gloomy face and muttering something through gritted teeth, Monkey sneered. He could see without using his sharp eyes that his third junior brother's heart was already full of hatred, and his inner demons were even more fertile.
He is so powerful that he will fall into the devil's path sooner or later, and even the magic power he is cultivating now has begun to gradually become demonic.
Because his Dao heart has become demonic!
Over the years, Monkey has not seen many monsters who failed to resist the harassment of inner demons and turned into demons. He also knows that the best way to deal with demons is to beat them to death with a stick as soon as possible to save them from the chaos of the world.
But the monk never allowed himself to do this. Even in his first nine incarnations, he died in the hands of Sha Wujing. The head is still hanging on the beads around his neck. The monk is not angry and talks with him every day.
His third disciple talked about some wonderful Buddhist principles, and whenever he saw Sha Wujing leaving impatiently, the monk's eyes would always be a little downcast.
Traveling all the way to the west, covering hundreds of thousands of miles and overcoming ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, Xuanzang not only wanted to fully understand his own Mahayana Buddhism in the process, but also wanted to use it to save all sentient beings and enable all people in the world to understand their minds and see their true nature.
, Mahayana Buddhism spread all over the world.
The reason why he accepted these three disciples was not only to let them protect himself, but more importantly, these three disciples were also the targets of Xuanzang's salvation, but they were much more difficult to survive than ordinary people.
many.
Zhu Bajie represents love, Sha Wujing represents hatred, Little White Dragon represents anger, and Sun Wukong... represents obsession.
If he cannot save his four disciples, he is afraid that he will fail even if he goes to Lingshan Mountain, because he and the four of them all have a cause and effect. If they cannot be saved by himself, even if he can save the world, he will eventually fail.
The success will fall short.
Xuanzang didn't know if he could save these three disciples after traveling a hundred and eight thousand miles, because their mental obstacles were too difficult.
True Lord Tianpeng couldn't let go of Fairy Yueling. He still remembered that when the relationship between the two fell apart, Tianpeng was leading his army to fight abroad. The Jade Emperor issued an order to capture Fairy Yueling and bring her down to earth as a warning to others. At the same time, he asked for help.
The old man gave him the elixir Tianpeng so that he could completely forget Fairy Yueling.
However, that day, after receiving the Jade Emperor's imperial edict, Tianpeng rushed back to heaven as quickly as possible without saying a word.
In front of the Lingxiao Palace, after the Jade Emperor read out his punishment for Fairy Yueling and ordered her to be knocked down from the mortal world, the canopy came alive into the Lingxiao Palace and blocked Fairy Yueling.
Surrounded heavily, he turned his head to face the crying Lihua Daiyu and begged the Jade Emperor not to implicate his beloved, and said two words.
"Don't be afraid."
That day, the Jade Emperor looked at the persistence in Tianpeng's eyes, watching him leaving his true self beside Fairy Yueling forever, and lowered his eyes.
Canopy, is this your choice? I understand. As a king and a minister, I will grant your wish.
With a wave of his hand, the Jade Emperor knocked the two of them down to earth. Before leaving, Tianpeng also kowtowed three times to the Jade Emperor.
The Divine General of the Rolling Curtain... Just as the monkey could see, his heart had long been filled with hatred. He had devoted his allegiance to the Heavenly Court for thousands of years and fought bloody battles with the demons of Huaguo Mountain, but in the end he only
Because breaking the glass lamp brought about such an ending, he hated, hated Heaven, hated everything. He no longer thought about how to make Heaven pay the price and how to make the Jade Emperor die in his hands!
This hatred has long since turned into his inner demon. Unless the Jade Emperor dies and the heaven collapses, he will never let it go.
As for the monkey, Xuanzang, the other two disciples, might still have a chance to save them, but for the monkey, he really had no way. The obsession in the monkey's heart was too strong, and it was also the obsession in his heart.
His great wish has supported him to this day, allowing him to break through to Da Luo Hunyuan Immortal in such a short period of time.
But he has long been firmly trapped by the great wish in his heart, and he has been unable to make a breakthrough until now.
Looking at the three disciples looking at each other coldly, Xuanzang, who was sitting in the ruined temple, looked up at the bright full moon in the night sky and asked secretly in his heart, "Is it really possible to travel westward?"
