Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 598 Guess
Seeing Patriarch Bodhi sighing softly, Buddha Maitreya couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Master, has something happened?" As the future Buddha of Buddhism, Maitreya Buddha had a deep understanding of the relationship between Patriarch Bodhi and the four monkeys in the world. Yuan also understands something.

Patriarch Bodhi shook his head and said: "Perhaps it is because of the great tribulation that the secret of heaven is not revealed. Not only is the relationship between master and disciple between me and the stone monkey broken, but even the last trace of the bond has disappeared."

Maitreya Buddha was very surprised after hearing this and asked: "Uncle Master, your fate with the four monkeys in the world is determined by destiny. Can this great tribulation of heaven and earth still kill the opportunity of destiny?"

Patriarch Bodhi pondered for a moment and said: "The Great Tribulation of the Journey to the West is the first great tribulation that our Buddhism and all the heavens and worlds take over for heaven and earth. Perhaps there are changes in it."

After a moment of silence, Maitreya Buddha could only express his agreement with Patriarch Bodhi. Nowadays, it is difficult to find even traces of Jin Chanzi in Buddhism, so it does not seem surprising that something happened to Lingming Stone Monkey.

However, despite recognition, Maitreya Buddha's heart was still full of worries. The Great Tribulation of Journey to the West has not really begun yet, but Buddhism’s control over the Great Tribulation seems to be somewhat inadequate. Buddhism has become less certain about the specific direction of the Journey to the West in the future.

Patriarch Bodhi naturally understood the worries in Maitreya Buddha's heart. In fact, the key to all of this lies in the Lingming Stone Monkey. As a person destined to be robbed by destiny, as long as the Lingming Stone Monkey can be subdued by Buddhism, even if Jin Chanzi is corroded by the tribulation energy and does some extreme actions during the Journey to the West, Buddhism can easily deal with it. After all, Jin Chanzi is still the second disciple of Duobao Tathagata.

But the problem now is that the relationship between Lingming Stone Monkey and Patriarch Bodhi as master and disciple has been severed, and the last trace of bond has also disappeared. This made both Maitreya Buddha and Bodhi Patriarch find it very difficult.

Le Fozu's expression was serious and his brows were furrowed. He was obviously very troubled by the Lingming Stone Monkey matter. Patriarch Bodhi, as the avatar of a saint, has great wisdom, and naturally understands the importance of the Lingming Stone Monkey to the upcoming catastrophe of the journey to the West. He sighed deeply, his voice full of helplessness: "The Lingming Stone Monkey is closely related to the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West. I personally went to the East China Sea to try to introduce him to Buddhism."

Previously, Patriarch Bodhi had placed his hope in the karmic fate between the Lingming Stone Monkey and himself, attracting the Lingming Stone Monkey to take the initiative to come to Fangcun Mountain to learn skills.

Liu Ding Liujia also secretly explored the main peak, but found nothing and found nothing unusual.

For such a homely monkey, how can Buddhism not be in a hurry.

The Lingming Stone Monkey has always been active near the main peak of Huaguo Mountain. Even if the monkeys leave the main peak to collect spiritual fruits, he has never followed them. It seemed that the main peak of Huaguo Mountain had some special attraction for him, making him unwilling to leave.

According to Liu Ding Liujia, who protects Huaguo Mountain, since the birth of the Lingming Stone Monkey, the Lingming Stone Monkey has never left the Huaguo Mountain and has not even descended from the main peak of the Huaguo Mountain.

If he doesn't take any action, this clever stone monkey may really stay in Huaguo Mountain until the end of time and spend the rest of his life.

Patriarch Bodhi went to the East China Sea to explore Huaguo Mountain again, and at the same time, he was also preparing to guide the Lingming Stone Monkey to Fangcun Mountain to learn skills.

What everyone in Buddhism doesn’t know is this.

However, the reality was much more complicated than he expected.

In fact, the reason why Lingming Stone Monkey did not leave the main peak was because he wanted to concentrate on his practice. The dense air in the main peak area was extremely beneficial to his practice. On the other hand, this is also a deliberate strategy adopted by Lingming Stone Monkey after careful consideration.

Although Lingming Stone Monkey's current cultivation level no longer requires him to go to Fangcun Mountain to learn martial arts, in the eyes of monks from all over the world, Lingming Stone Monkey is still a Ying Jie person with shallow cultivation.

Therefore, Lingming Stone Monkey needs a reasonable and eye-catching reason to show his leap in cultivation.

Patriarch Bodhi's eastward journey provided him with just such an opportunity. Lingming Stone Monkey did not want to take the initiative to become the disciple of Patriarch Bodhi, so as not to cause unnecessary entanglements with cause and effect, so he chose to wait for the arrival of Patriarch Bodhi. The Lingming Stone Monkey can wait, but Buddhism, which leads the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, cannot wait.

Therefore, as long as the Lingming Stone Monkey does not leave Huaguo Mountain, Patriarch Bodhi will definitely travel eastward.

When a powerful person like Patriarch Bodhi visits Huaguo Mountain when the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West is approaching, it will inevitably attract the attention of all forces.

At that time, if Lingming Stone Monkey chooses not to leave Huaguo Mountain, Patriarch Bodhi will never dare to force him in the face of the attention of many powerful beings. In fact, Lingming Stone Monkey's worries in this regard are unnecessary. Patriarch Bodhi is suspecting that it was his calculation against the Lingming Stone Monkey that led to the severing of the causal relationship between the two. How could he dare to use force against the Lingming Stone Monkey?
Of course, Buddhist teachers do not have a deep understanding of the great tribulations of heaven and earth, which is why they failed to detect the abnormality of the Lingming Stone Monkey. If it were among the three Taoist religions, the three sages of Taoism would definitely be able to discern the unusual features of the Lingming Stone Monkey.

However, this is not the fault of Patriarch Bodhi.

In the West, where Buddhism is located, the only great catastrophe experienced by heaven and earth was the great catastrophe between the Taoist ancestor Hongjun and the demonic ancestor Rahu.

That battle was so brutal that almost half of the western half of the prehistoric world was reduced to ruins.

In the original prehistoric world, the west was dominated by the demonic path of Rahu. At that time, the saints Jieyin and Zhunti did not dare to be born because they were afraid of the demon ancestor Rahu. Naturally, they were unable to deeply understand the mystery of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth.

Later, in the Great Lich Tribulation and the Great Tribulation of the Gods, Buddhism's participation was relatively low, so Buddhism really had little understanding of the specific situation of how heaven and earth should rob people.

In fact, in the eyes of Ancestor Bodhi, the abnormal changes shown by the Lingming Stone Monkey are not too abrupt. After all, there is a precedent for this situation with Lingming Stone Monkey.

During the Great Tribulation of the Gods, Shen Gongbao's opportunity should have been to intercept the teachings, and he should have worshiped the Qing saint as his teacher. However, the development of things was unexpected. Shen Gongbao eventually became a disciple of Chanjiao, and together with Jiang Ziya, they dragged Jiejiao into the great catastrophe of becoming a god.

Therefore, it is not completely impossible for the fate between Lingming Stone Monkey and Bodhi Patriarch to be severed.

After all, this is a catastrophe!

What Patriarch Bodhi didn't know was that the reason why Shen Gongbao failed to worship Jiejiao back then was because the Sage of the Shangqing Dynasty chose to avoid the world and not participate in the great catastrophe of becoming a god. Therefore, he ordered the Jiejiao disciples to close the mountain gate tightly, chant Huang Ting quietly, and concentrate on cultivation.

This made Shen Gongbao unable to join Jiejiao, and he eventually turned to Chanjiao.

Among the three Taoist religions, Taoism pays attention to the perseverance of monks, and Chanism values ​​​​the origin and qualifications of monks. Although Jiejiao advocates teaching without distinction, before the Great Tribulation of Conferring Gods, Jiejiao also had strict requirements on the character of monks. Require.

Shen Gongbao was born in the demon clan, and although his character was not bad, he did have a hard time in the teachings that focused on origin and qualifications. The reason why Saint Yuqing accepted Shen Gongbao as his disciple was because he sensed the aura of great calamity in Shen Gongbao.

This information is not known to the outside world. How could Patriarch Bodhi understand the key to it?

Saints are not contaminated by cause and effect, so the flow of Shen Gongbao's master-disciple relationship between Shangqing Saint and Yuqing Saint is not easy for the outside world to detect.
