I became the Demon Emperor in Journey to the West

Chapter 135 Worry in Lingshan

Lingshan, Lingjiu Peak, the holy land of Buddha.

The dharma body of the Tathagata Buddha radiates dharma light everywhere.

The four Bodhisattvas Manjusri, Avalokitesvara, Samantabhadra and Ksitigarbha are surrounded by five hundred Arhats and three thousand enlightenments.

Tang Monk and his disciples were wearing brocade cassocks, Vairocana hats on their heads, and holding tin staffs. They led Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Monk, and knelt down to the Tathagata Buddha with pious expressions.

After fourteen years of ups and downs and countless hardships of life and death, Master Tang and his disciples finally arrived at Lingshan.

"My disciple Xuanzang, in accordance with the decree of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the East, went to Baoshan Mountain to pray for the true scriptures in order to help all living beings. I hope that I, the Buddha, will be kind and return to my country as soon as possible." Tang Monk said.

"Your eastern land is the southern continent of Zhanzhan. Just because the sky is high and high, the things are vast and the people are densely populated, there is a lot of greed and killing, a lot of adultery, a lot of deceit, a lot of deception, a lot of deceit, no filial piety to the Buddha, no good deeds, no respect for the three lights, Not paying attention to grains, being unfaithful and unfilial, being unjust and unkind, hiding one's mind from oneself, fighting against small scales, killing animals, and committing endless evils. The sins are full of evil, causing disasters in hell, so they will fall into the netherworld forever and suffer. The pain of being pounded and pounded by many hammers transforms the animals. Now I have three collections of sutras that can transcend suffering and explain disasters. There is a collection of Dharma to talk about the sky. There is a collection of discussions to talk about the earth. There is a collection of sutras to save ghosts. There are three collections in total. Fifteen volumes, fifteen thousand one hundred and forty-four volumes. The true sutra of self-cultivation, the door to righteousness and goodness. The astronomy, geography, characters, birds and beasts, flowers and trees, utensils, and human affairs of the four major continents of the heart are incomparable. If you don't carry it, you have come from afar, and I will give it all to you and take it away, but the people there are stupid and strong, they slander the truth, and they do not know the secret decree of my ascetic."

Having said this, the Tathagata said to the two men beside him: "Anuo and Kaye, you two lead the four of them to the treasure tower and examine each of the thirty-five parts of my Tripitaka. Give him a few scrolls and teach him how to spread the law to the Eastern Land and bring eternal dharma and great grace."

"Thank you Buddha." After Tang Seng finished speaking, he stood up.

When he was about to leave, he heard Tathagata say: "Wukong, on your way to the west, you once sworn brother with a demon named Zhang Yuan at the foot of Hidden Mist Mountain. Is this possible?"

Sun Wukong smiled at Tathagata, "Buddha knows the heaven, the earth, the past and the future, and nothing can be hidden. Since the Buddha has asked this question, he naturally knows the reason. This younger brother of mine once lived in Shituoling and Yinwu Mountains. I saved my master twice, but I couldn't repay him, so I became sworn brothers with him."

"Wukong, this demon is a dragon-lion bird that was born together with the green-haired lion monster that was beaten to death by you. It has not grown for tens of thousands of years since its birth. A few years ago, for unknown reasons, it suddenly became enlightened and its practice has progressed thousands of miles. Now it is The only demon saint in the world."

"Demon Saint?" Sun Wukong was overjoyed when he heard this, "I never expected that my younger brother would be so ambitious that he became the only Demon Saint in the world."

"Not only did he become a demon saint, he also established the Mohe Kingdom and became the human king of the Mohe Kingdom. This country has tens of millions of people, which is not inferior to the Eastern Tang Dynasty." Tathagata continued.

"This is good, this is good. When I return to the Eastern Land and the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely go to the Mohe Kingdom to ask for a drink." Sun Wukong said.

"Brother Monkey, don't forget to take me with you." Zhu Bajie said quickly.

"Wukong, do you know why I said these words to you?" Tathagata asked.

"I don't know, I don't know, please enlighten me."

"A few Yuanhui ago, there was a great war between heaven and earth. The two sides fighting were the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, so it was called the War of the Witch Clan. The Demon Emperor Donghuang Taiyi at that time had a Chaos Bell in his hand. This treasure, together with the Pangu Flag and the Tai Chi Diagram It is also known as the three-day innate treasure and is extremely powerful. After the battle between the lich and the two clans, Donghuang Taiyi died in the battle. The Chaos Bell was broken into ten pieces. In the hands of the Demon King of Shifang, Zhang Yuan has now collected all ten pieces. Gather them together and refine the Chaos Bell again. Although he suppresses the aura of the Chaos Bell with his own demonic power, he still cannot escape my eyes."

"Buddha, it's a good thing that my brother has re-refined the Chaos Bell! Wouldn't it be a pity that such an innate treasure should be broken into ten pieces?" Sun Wukong said disapprovingly.

"Wukong, it's a shame that you followed Tang Monk all the way to the west and traveled to thousands of mountains and rivers, but you didn't gain much knowledge. This Yuanzhi is not with the Demon Saint, let alone King Mohe. His purpose is to rebuild the Demon Clan's heaven. In this way, he will To break the seal of the Heavenly Court in the Heavenly Palace, and to return the Eight Cold Forests of Buddhism to the Heavenly Palace, once the Demonic Palace is rebuilt, a disaster will definitely occur between heaven and earth." Tathagata said. "It's not good to cause a disaster." Sun Wukong said.

"Zhang Yuan has his own purpose in sworn sworn relationship with you. You are also a demon yourself. If he rebuilds the Demon Court, he will definitely invite you to join him. Do you agree or not?" Tathagata asked.

"I don't agree, I don't agree." Sun Wukong quickly replied.

"Zhang Yuan saved Tang Monk twice. You are grateful to him. If he invites you sincerely, with your impetuous temper, I am afraid you will not refuse. This is what worries me." Tathagata said.

"Then I will advise this brother not to rebuild the Demon Court." Sun Wukong said.

Tathagata shook his head, "His determination to rebuild the Demon Court is as solid as a rock and cannot be changed."

"Buddha," Manjushri Bodhisattva said, "Let's kill him while his wings are still strong."

The Tathagata chuckled and said, "Manjusri! Zhang Yuan is quite scheming. He knew that if he rebuilt the Heavenly Court, he would be severely punished by Lingshan and Heavenly Court, so he made some preparations first. He killed a strange fairy who kidnapped a young man in Shatuo. branch, the four kingdoms of Shatuo built a thousand temples for it and worshiped it with golden statues. He also killed another branch of the weird immortals in Mohe Mountain, and established a unified country for the twelve Mohe tribes that had been separated, called the Mohe Kingdom. There are tens of millions of people, he is enshrined, and he is the king of tens of millions of people. He is blessed with luck as a human race, and he has not done anything evil, so how can he be killed?"

"Buddha, Zhang Yuan has never done anything evil, and he is kind to the human race, and he is worshiped in a thousand temples. If he is killed, it will definitely arouse the anger of the human race, and I am afraid it will be detrimental to our Lingshan Mountain. Disciples have An idea." Guanyin Bodhisattva said.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva, come and listen."

"This disciple is willing to transform into an old woman and go to save him, so that he can restrain his ambitions and use his ability to save the world and help people." Guanyin Bodhisattva said.

"If Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva goes to save him, I am willing to go with him and advise this younger brother together with Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva." Sun Wukong said.

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said: "I understand Sun Xingzhe's thoughts. However, you still need to escort Tang Monk back to the Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty, so I won't trouble you about this."

"I listen to Guanyin Bodhisattva." Sun Wukong said.

After being trapped under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years and going through another fourteen years of suffering, Sun Wukong has indeed become better behaved.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva, you can give this method a try. But you need to be careful. Zhang Yuanjin is a demon saint, and he has many powerful magic weapons that can reach the sky. You can't defeat him, and you can't speak frivolously and cause disaster." Tathagata. reminded.

"Thank you Buddha for reminding me, I know it well." Guanyin Bodhisattva said.

"Buddha, what is a strange immortal?" Sun Wukong suddenly asked.
