The Monkey King

"I, I don't understand what you are talking about..." The six-eared macaque shook his head slowly and stepped back step by step: "I don't really want to know what you are talking about. I only know that if I lose this battle, If I die, my soul will be shattered. Everything is gone, not even the chance to be a dog. So, even if the fish is dead and the net is broken, I have to fight. I... have no choice. "

After saying that, the six-eared macaque stared at the monkey, grinned and laughed, his face like an evil spirit in purgatory.

The wind blew slowly, carrying yellow sand. The two men's already broken armor trembled slightly in the wind.

Yang Chan led a group of demon generals and slowly landed a hundred feet away from the monkey.

In the distance, the eyes of Zhengfa Ming Tathagata slowly narrowed into slits.

"How many percent of his mana does he have left?" Ksitigarbha asked beside him.

Zhengfa Ming Tathagata slowly shook his head and said: "Two percent of the spiritual power at most. However, if we fight, given his situation, he may not be able to reach 40%. Or maybe, he can forcefully break through to the way of heaven. Cultivation. This is his last trump card."

"Breakthrough to the realm of heaven." King Ksitigarbha was slightly startled, paused, but then slowly shook his head and said: "No, we can't let him break through, at least we can't let him break through now. Once he regains the realm of heaven, he has to Only Buddha Tathagata can cure him. But how can he surrender willingly?"

"It should be impossible to break through." Zhengfa Ming Tathagata whispered: "He is no better than the monkey opposite. He has no memory. The monkey opposite has already experienced the path of heaven. If you want to break through, just follow the original path. He can't Know which way is the original way. Unless... we help him."

"'One of us will survive. And I hope that the one who survives doesn't have to be a dog. Whether it's a Buddhist or a Taoist dog.'" After silently reciting what the monkey had just said, Ksitigarbha said slightly He raised his head and sighed, "I finally understand. What I said just now is a threat to us..."

Hearing this, Zhengfa Ming Tathagata nodded and said: "Otherwise, Venerable Ksitigarbha, what do you think this monkey is talking about at this time? Do you want to explain the funeral? He wants to tell us that if we help the six-eared macaque to break through the way of heaven, he will We will directly admit defeat. At that time, we will not get the results we want. Buddha stepped forward to suppress the six-eared macaque, but actually helped him. If he had not stepped forward, the six-eared macaque might not have dared to kill him. After all... ...Without him, the Buddha would definitely suppress the six-eared macaque. The six-eared macaque should understand this as long as he calms down a little."

"Hehehe, then we have to see who will take action and who will not."

At this moment, everything in the world seemed to have become silent.

Ksitigarbha clasped his hands together, but his eyes were fixed on the six-eared macaque in front of him.

Zhengfa Ming Tathagata still stood motionless, and his breathing seemed much heavier.

…

In the Tushita Palace, Lord Tongtian was about to stand up, but his hand was held down by Laojun.

He turned his head quickly in surprise.

I saw Laojun looking straight ahead, as if sensing something. He shook his head slowly.

…

In front of the Nvshu Stone, Subhuti had already held his breath.

…

In the pavilion halfway up Lingshan Mountain, Samantabhadra and Lingji silently stared at the changing sky in a daze.

…

All the Buddhas and even Arhats in the hall have fallen silent. Even Tathagata just closed his eyes and sat on the lotus platform. It's like nothing happened.

However, precisely because of this, the atmosphere was so overwhelming that everyone was suffocating at this moment.

Everyone present was motionless, but they were quietly sensing everything around them. Countless spiritual consciousnesses overlap, and even the slightest fluctuation of air flow cannot be escaped.

Suddenly, Manjusri, who had been standing on the steps, suddenly raised his head and looked at Tathagata.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on him. Even Tathagata's eyes were slightly opened.

The next moment, Manjusri was seen carrying his robe, walking through the crowd step by step to the center of the hall, clasping his hands together, and silently saluting the Tathagata.

All eyes are following him. Everyone was looking at him, holding their breath, waiting for him to say something.

However, no.

Manjusri just bowed silently, paused, and then turned around and walked out of the hall.

For a moment, everyone seemed to be relieved, and at the same time, a trace of astonishment appeared on their faces.

Tathagata just watched his figure silently until he disappeared at the end.

There was still silence in the hall, but the difference was that everyone was looking at each other.

Suddenly, another Buddha came out. He also walked to the middle, bowed to the Tathagata, turned around and left without saying a word.

Then, before this Buddha could leave the hall, another Buddha came out.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

In just a moment, most of the Buddha and Arhats in the main hall were gone.

Tathagata was still sitting quietly, raising his head slightly, staring at the luxurious relief at the top of the hall, smiling faintly, thoughtfully.

…

A moment later, countless golden lights shot up from Lingshan Mountain, like a golden rainbow that suddenly appeared, spanning half the sky and flying in the direction of the monkey and the six-eared macaque.

The monks at the foot of Lingshan clasped their hands together, knelt down, and bowed.

…

In the Tushita Palace, Laojun snorted coldly and sighed.

"Sakyamuni endured it, but others did not."

"I..." Leader Tongtian looked at Lao Jun, shook his head slightly, and said: "I don't quite understand..."

The old man asked softly: "Do you know what tested Sakyamuni the most during Xuanzang's journey to the west?"

"What is it?"

"It's the nature of the mind." Lao Jun slowly closed his eyes and said: "Buddhism has always focused on the nature of the mind. Enlightenment can soar in one day. If you can't understand it, practicing for ten thousand years will be in vain. The enlightenment in this is actually the nature of the heart. Grasp. Every step Xuanzang takes is a stone in Tathagata's heart. Even if he gains nothing, the weight is still there. The most testing part is that Tathagata can only look, just... just look. After reading these 108,000 A thousand-mile journey. Only he himself can experience the torture. This is the best part of traveling westward."

"The Buddhas in Lingshan Mountain have all dispatched, wouldn't that mean..." Turning his head, the leader of Tongtian Cult said to Yuanshi Tianzun who had been silent from beginning to end: "All three of us have dispatched... and then we will bring in Zhen Yuanzi. And Bodhi! And Nvshua! As long as Sakyamuni doesn’t make any move, although we may not necessarily win, at least we won’t be at a disadvantage!”

Hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun burst into laughter.

Laojun also laughed.

Looking at the two of them, Tongtian Cult Leader was a little confused: "Why, is there something wrong with what I said?"

"The words are correct." Yuanshi Tianzun took a deep breath, stood up slowly on his knees and said: "The words are correct, but... the direction of consideration is wrong."

Leader Tongtian turned his face and looked at Laojun.

I saw Laojun holding his hand and laughing: "You still don't understand the meaning of what I just said. If fighting and killing can solve the problem, why did Xuanzang go to the west? So what if he wins, he wins. , that monkey, is it obedient?"

"What else should we do?"

Laojun still smiled and said nothing.

…

Among the clouds, countless Buddhas shuttled past. Like golden needles piercing the white silk. This scene was accurately reflected in the mirror by the heavenly patrol general.

In the battleship returning from the Tushita Palace to the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor, Li Jing, and Taibai Jinxing stared blankly at the scene in the mirror, and they were all stunned.

They didn't know exactly what happened, but at this moment, everyone knew...this was a big deal!

"Take...what to do next?"

"Your Majesty, don't panic. Since I said to defend the Nantian Gate, we will defend it. There will be no mistakes!"

Taibai Jinxing snorted coldly and said leisurely: "Didn't you just defend Nantianmen more than six hundred years ago? How did Nantianmen compare at that time to today? What was the result?"

Li Jing immediately glared at Taibai Jinxing, but he could only watch. Because this sentence is irrefutable.

Holding Li Jing's hand, the Jade Emperor trembled slightly and said: "Call! Call everyone! Even if they are not the Heavenly Army, call them all!" (To be continued ~^~)
