Rebirth of Journey to the West

Lao Zhu was quite puzzled and said: "Teacher, the talent in our Biyou Palace is withering, and it is these senior brothers or disciples who have spent so much effort to find them. Could it be that the teacher has something hidden?"

The ancestor of Tongtian Sect said: "Most of my disciples are on the list of gods. Of course, it is due to disaster, but I should also say: How can you know that it is a blessing? Whenever you encounter difficulties in the future, as long as you go to heaven or earth and inform them, they will help you. . You went to snatch the Linglong Tower and the Demon Mirror. Someone has already informed me. Yun Zhongzi is indeed a little lucky immortal. Xiaoyinyangming is right. Now that we are married, you will not fall into his favor in the future. Just beware of Randeng’s revenge.”

Zhu Ganglie suddenly realized it and thought to himself: "No wonder Yun Zhongzi is so cheerful." He smiled and said: "The person the teacher mentioned is the two senior brothers Gao Ming and Gao Jue?"

"Isn't it the two of them? My master has already ordered them to widely inform Thirty-Three Heavens and Jiuyou Huangquan that everyone in my sect knows that you are my close disciple. However, you must consider three points when doing things in the future, and don't get carried away. "Randeng and Yun Zhongzi are top figures in the two religions, and you can't mess with them right now."

Zhu Ganglie responded yes. The ancestor of Tongtian Sect saw that he was not used to being respectful at this moment, and said with a smile: "I am very happy with your actions these days, but you just lost your mind. That Jin Chanzi was reincarnated in ten lives, and died nine times crossing the Liusha River. What he wanted was Nine Buddha bones and skulls can survive this most evil water in the world. It would be better for you to catch all nine of them, marinate them and store them in black ice. Then you only need two of the Tathagata Buddha's skulls. Let the golden cicada cross the river. This is what your uncle agreed to do. My disciples can't stop it, so you just eat the others and return his skeleton!"

Zhu Ganglie said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the master. The disciple thought that it would be okay to return the Buddha's bones and skeleton to him, but this Journey to the West disciple was unhappy no matter how he looked at it. Why should his Buddhist scriptures be introduced to the Eastern Land and be collected widely on the road? Monster clan? Buddhism has taken advantage of everything, how can these monster disciples live?”

Tongtian Sage said: "This is also your uncle's mistake. When he turned Hu into a Buddha in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Tathagata caught him and had to promise him something. Three Pure Ones, I can't turn my back on what your uncle promised. The Tathagata has made a rule with your great uncle, that for every difficulty on the road to the West, Jin Chanzi is allowed to pass on as many scriptures as he has to the East. It’s just a stumbling block that saves him a few difficulties.”

Lao Zhu thought for a moment and asked, "How many scriptures does Buddhism have?"

"The Tathagata tells your great uncle, Lingshan, there are 35 volumes of the Tripitaka of Heaven, Earth and Ghosts, and 15,444 volumes of scriptures. Your great uncle is an honest man. I am worried that so many of his scriptures will be spread to the East. , if the Taoist sect is destroyed, he will be allowed to complete the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties and pass on a total of eighty-one volumes of scripture."

The ancestor of Tongtian Sect looked mockingly and said with a smile: "I later learned that this Western Buddhism does have Tripitaka, but it only has nine parts and eighty-one volumes. The rest are just blank sheets of paper, called the Wordless Sutra. Tathagata gives a brief introduction The little plan has made your uncle suffer a loss."

The saint seemed to be taking pleasure in others' misfortune, and he noticed it himself. He coughed twice and said: "Lingshan has many tricks. If you can destroy it, then destroy it. If you can't destroy it, it doesn't matter. I will argue with him in the future. When the moon is full, it will be weak. I intercepted it back then. Isn’t it true that the teaching is so powerful that the second senior brother can’t stand it? In the battle of Conferred God, only Wudang is left beside me. Now that Lingshan has made the same mistake as me, this calamity won’t make it easy for them!”

The ancestor of Tongtian Sect waved his hand slightly, but saw a bright mirror appearing in the sky, and a huge mountain appeared in the mirror. What a mountain! But see: the smoke disperses the color, the sun and the moon shake their light. Thousands of old cypress trees, thousands of knots are repaired. Thousands of old cypresses are green in the sky with the rain; thousands of bamboos are being repaired, and the color of the valley is green with smoke. There are exotic flowers and brocades outside the door, and the fragrance of Yao grass beside the bridge. The stone cliffs are abrupt and green with moss, and the overhanging walls are high and green moss grows. Every now and then I hear the chirping of the cranes, and every time I see the phoenix flying. When the crane chirps, the sound trembles far into the sky; when the phoenix soars, its feathers are in five-colored clouds. The black ape and the white deer are hidden, and the golden lion and the jade elephant are hiding in hiding. Take a closer look at Lingfu Land, it’s really a racing paradise!

Zhu Ganglie looked at the mountain carefully and saw a cliff in the depths of the fairy mountain. There was a stone plaque on the cliff, which was about three feet high and eight feet wide. There was a line of ten characters on it, which was "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, with three stars on the slanting moon." Hole".

The ancestor of the Tongtian Sect laughed and said: "Let's see how busy those busy people are!" The immortal door opened, and a great enlightened golden immortal came out of it. The saying is: live as long as the heaven in a solemn body, the great master of the clear mind through calamities. It is the ancestor who is the incarnation of the Three Corpses of Zhunti and whose Taoist name is Subhuti!

The Bodhi Patriarch seemed to be aware of something. He looked around and counted with his fingers, but found nothing. He shook his head and rode a roll of auspicious clouds towards the east.

"I didn't expect that saints also like to spy. You must learn this skill. In the future, you won't have to go to so much trouble to spy on Sister-in-law Iron Fan taking a bath."

Lao Zhu saw that Patriarch Bodhi traveled eastward and arrived at Nanfanbuzhou, where he landed under an evil mountain. The mountain is shaped like five fingers, three thousand feet high, and as steep as a Senge. There is no vegetation on the mountain. There is only a bare square stone on the middle finger peak, and a post is posted on it: Om, Ma, Ne, Ba, Mi, Hum!

Patriarch Bodhi did not go up the mountain, but walked down the mountain. He saw a stone box at the foot of the mountain, and there was a monster monkey pressed in the box. The monkey looks ferocious, with golden eyes and fiery eyes, ears above the shoulders, grinning teeth, and is unruly. Even though it is pressed down at the foot of the mountain, it still has a lot of ferocity and is very proud!

When the Bodhi Patriarch arrived in front of the monkey, he stopped and said sternly: "You evil disciple, do you still recognize me?"

The person pressing down at the foot of the mountain was none other than the Monkey King, the Monkey King who caused great turmoil in the Heavenly Palace. When he saw the man in front of him, he couldn't help but shed tears and shouted in a hissing voice: "Master——"

Patriarch Bodhi sneered: "You still have the nerve to call me master?! Look at the big trouble you've gotten into!"

The monkey burst into tears, but his body was crushed in the mountain. He just hit his head on the ground, kowtowed, and choked with sobs: "Master, save me, save me!"

Patriarch Bodhi sighed: "It's not that I don't want to save you, it's just that you are destined to have this calamity. The evil you did back then will be repaid in the future. If you still remember that you have me as your master, just stay here." In ten years, a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty will rescue you. You should support him and treat him as you treat me. If you and my disciples continue to be stubborn, God will not let you down. You, I want to accept you too!”

The last two sentences were so stern that Wukong shivered in fear and dared not speak.

Patriarch Bodhi said warmly: "That monk has a close relationship with me. If you worship him as your teacher, you will not be buried. It's just that there are many powerful demons on the road to the West. If you delay five hundred years of practice, you may not be able to compete with them. That's fine. I will help you one more time." The Taoist stretched out his right hand, slapped the monkey on the back of the head three times, and then walked away. He was really a master.

"Hey, are you done with just showing off like this?"

Zhu Ganglie was wondering when he suddenly saw the Monkey King coughing repeatedly and spitting out a string of iron balls from his mouth. He choked and burst into tears. The tears were not ordinary water, but asphalt and copper juice, which turned into billowing smoke on the ground. It turns out that the Tathagata Buddha had evil intentions. During these five hundred years, he sent five parties to feed the great sage iron pills and copper juice in order to blind his mind and make it difficult for him to make any progress in his cultivation and control it in the future. At this moment, Patriarch Bodhi was worried that there were many variables on the road to the West, so he had to cancel the hundreds of years of achievements, let him reopen his spiritual wisdom, and gave him five hundred years of magic power, just to protect the safety of the Buddhist monk. .
