Tathagata's face turned purple when he heard what the Jade Emperor said. He couldn't say that the Jade Emperor didn't help. The Jade Emperor first said, "Honor the Gods and the Great Sage. That's right. With just such a sentence, the monkey will not have trouble with the heaven."
But the Monkey in the Journey to the West is the most critical existence. This time, the six ancient Buddhas all went into battle, with the purpose of suppressing the Monkey no matter what. Who knew that the Jade Emperor was so accurate in his journey.
When Xiao Jiang killed the Golden-winged Dapeng, no one dared to say anything wrong about him. Even though the Peacock King Ming was the Buddha Mother of Lingshan, he came to Xiao Jiang for a ferocious demon. In theory, he was beaten to death and no one could find any flaws.
.
Xiao Jiang just wants to achieve the highest moral level in things, and then help the Jade Emperor fulfill his promise to the West.
Tathagata dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Ran Deng glanced at Xiao Jiang and suddenly said to Tathagata:
"World Honored One, what the Great Heavenly Lord said is true. Sun Dasheng enforces the law impartially. The Buddha Mother was accidentally killed because of her impulse. Although our Lingshan has lost its guardians and protectors, causing the foundation of Lingshan to be unstable, Sun Dasheng is willing to give his full help. We can turn things around."
Tathagata looked at the burning lamp thoughtfully and said:
"Teacher Ran Deng, what's your advice?"
Ran Deng put his hands together and said:
"The mother of Buddha has passed away, and Lingshan has no protector. This will cause the foundation of Lingshan to be shaken. But the World Honored One has forgotten Sun Dasheng. Although he is the righteous god of heaven, he can also be the protector of Lingshan. The World Honored One was the Buddha of the West in the past, and he can also be the protector of Lingshan now.
Sun Dasheng ranks among my Lingshan Dharma Protector Bodhisattva."
Tathagata was slightly startled. Originally, their plan was to have Jin Chanzi reincarnate as a Buddhist scripture seeker, and then have Sun Wukong and others escort him to the Lingshan Mountain in the west to retrieve scriptures. This would make it appear that the scripture acquisition was difficult.
Now they don't have many ways to suppress Sun Monkey by force. Even if the Buddhist scriptures are learned normally in the end, the practitioners in the three realms will be full of doubts about the West because of this matter, and they will not be able to prosper the West.
Ran Deng suddenly proposed that Sun Wukong should be the God of Heaven and the Bodhisattva of Lingshan. Tathagata was a little overwhelmed, but he still nodded and said:
"It seems that's it, Great Heavenly Lord, Sun Dasheng, what do you think?"
The Jade Emperor was secretly happy in his heart. The West failed to suppress Sun Wukong, which gave him more maneuverability. Then it was unclear whether traveling to the West to calamity Heaven would cause him to lose his luck.
"If the Great Sage is willing, it can be done."
The Jade Emperor directly handed over the choice to Xiao Jiang. At this moment, his heart was filled with joy, but there was no expression on his face. He looked serious as if he really had no emotions.
Everyone has bad feelings in their stomachs, and of course the worst one can only be Xiao Jiang. The more nonsense he plays in Journey to the West, the better the prize will be in the lottery. Although his physical body is a monkey, now he has directly transformed into a monkey.
In his own appearance, he said with a serious face:
"If this can help Lingshan, I don't have any objection. It's just that I patrol the three realms. Unless Lingshan encounters a disaster, I generally won't go to Lingshan."
Tathagata and Ran Deng looked at each other and said:
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, as long as you can help Lingshan when the time comes, it will be fine. If Sun Deng Buddha enters Lingshan and becomes a Bodhisattva, how should he be titled?"
"He can be the great Dharma-protecting King Bodhisattva in the Western Heaven."
After Ran Deng finished speaking, Tathagata slowly closed his hands and said:
"Now Sun Wukong has entered Lingshan Mountain and been conferred the title of Bodhisattva, the Protector of the Dharma to the Western Heaven. This matter will be left as it is for the time being. We will discuss the matter of traveling to the west in five hundred years. The Great Heavenly Lord and the poor monks will retire."
The six Buddhas turned into streams of light and disappeared. The Jade Emperor touched his beard, smiled, looked at Xiao Jiang and said:
"Honored Saint, you should go and patrol the three realms yourself."
Xiao Jiang cupped his fists and disappeared with a golden light. Then the Jade Emperor said to Lao Jun:
"I didn't expect that Sun Wukong could push Lingshan to this point. Their plan to go west to obtain Buddhist scriptures is probably greatly compromised, but I don't know what impact it will have on measuring the calamity."
The Supreme Being smiled sinisterly and said:
"Hehe... the people in Lingshan thought that Sun Wukong was only a Great Heavenly King and only gave him a Bodhisattva status. If they wait until they understand that he is equivalent to the Four Emperors, they will regret today's arbitrary title."
It is equivalent to the four emperors, that is, the position is slightly higher than that of Buddha. According to Western titles, it is not an exaggeration to give him the ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas. Of course, in the heart of the Supreme Being, Sun Wukong's cultivation is not enough, but it does not affect his high status.
;
The West only gave him a Bodhisattva status that seemed to be equivalent to the Great Heavenly King. In theory, it was already very high. You must know that the longer the title in the West, the higher the status.
However, there are dozens of Buddhas and a group of Bodhisattvas in Lingshan. Compared with the Buddhas, their cultivation level may not be high, but the status of Lingshan must be very high. The Bodhisattva and Guanyin have a higher status than many Buddhas because of their special status.
Jade Emperor said:
"Laojun, now that the West has no concerns about this for the time being, then we have to arrange for two people to go down to the realm. Who do you think can go?"
The Supreme Being said:
"The purpose of letting Marshal Tianpeng reincarnate and descend to earth was for future arrangements. But in this life, in order to plot against Sun Wukong, we asked him to become Sun Wukong's disciple. When the time comes, he will join the westward team and join Sun Wukong when he descends to earth. The Buddhist monk wants to control Tianpeng
It's difficult.
Sending others there, no one would dare to mess with Yi Monkey's current dual identity. However, we don't want the West to gain too much benefit. We will discuss with Sun Wukong before we go to learn the scriptures, and we should send Zhu Ganglie down to the world.
As for the last person, if your guard at Yuquan Palace is stupid enough, let him go down to the lower realm."
…
Huaguo Mountain, one hundred and eighty years after Xiao Jiang became a Bodhisattva, in the Great Sage's Mansion in Huaguo Mountain, Xiao Jiang slowly opened his eyes in the secret room.
For more than a hundred years, he has patrolled the world on the four continents. Under the whip of the Holy God from all directions, he has killed thousands of demons. The reputation of the Great Sage has shocked the three realms.
In recent days, everything seemed extremely quiet, so Xiao Jiang simply returned to Huaguo Mountain to practice in retreat. As a Western Bodhisattva, he had never entered Lingshan Mountain once.
"Click."
A secret door in the secret room opened, and Dragon Girl's charming figure appeared in sight. Dragon Girl rushed straight into Xiao Jiang's arms. After studying the important events of life for a long time, she leaned into Xiao Jiang's arms and whispered:
"Husband, something big happened in Lingshan."
Xiao Jiang smiled and said:
"Big deal, has Tathagata burped or Cihang got married?"
Dragon Girl chuckled and said:
"No, it's because several major forces in Lingshan have started to openly fight against each other. Tathagata, Lantern, Cihang, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, the lineage of Buddhas who fear to leave their grandchildren, Medicine King Master Buddha, Amitabha, Amitabha Buddha,
The lineage of Precious Light Buddha, the lineage of Joyful Buddha, the lineage of Vairocana Buddha, the lineage of Maitreya, Nagasun King Buddha, Parauna Buddha and so on.
Their respective ideas have formed huge contradictions. Even if the Tathagata teaches the Dharma, he will be left speechless by the Buddha's questions. Now the majesty of the Buddha is being shaken, and I don't know what's going on."
