Martial Arts: Immortality Begins from The Deer and the Cauldron

Chapter 1098 Black Chicken Country

Sun Wukong put away the iron rod and was shocked. He pretended to be stupid and said, "What baby?"

"You monkey head, that gourd is for me to hold the elixirs, the jade bottle is for me to hold water, and the fan is for my fire." Taishang Laojun said calmly: "Of these two monsters, one is me The boy who looked after the golden furnace, and the other boy who looked after the silver furnace, stole my treasure and went down to the underworld secretly. Unexpectedly, they were caught by you two. "

Sun Wukong not only yelled: "Old Master, you allowed two boys to go down to the realm and harmed one of them. It is wrong to have discipline."

Taishang Laojun was indifferent by nature and did not take it seriously. He smiled and said, "This is none of my business. The Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea visited my Tusita Palace three times and asked me to let two boys go down to the realm for testing. Are you, master and disciple, sincere in seeking scriptures from the West?"

Although Sun Wukong had already known that the Buddhist scriptures in the West were a designed routine, he still started complaining when he heard it from Taishang Laojun himself, "Huh! This Guanyin Bodhisattva is too rogue. At that time, I enlightened Sun Wukong , asked me to protect Tang San in his quest for scriptures from the West. I said the journey was difficult, with countless tigers, leopards, and monsters, but he said that you could go to him and ask for help when you were in danger.

Now, she has sent demons to harm us. She really deserves to live without a husband for so long!"

This monkey is really brave, and the ignorant are fearless. Qin Ran smiled and said nothing, watching the show from the side.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was practicing meditation in the South China Sea. When she heard Monkey King complaining about her, she naturally felt something in her heart and was very angry. I don’t have a husband. What’s wrong with you, a stupid monkey?
  "You can take care of yourself!"

Taishang Laojun stretched out his hand and took back the five treasures in an instant. The Golden Horned King and the Silver Horned King also escaped from under the giant mountain and turned into two gold and silver boys. They stood behind him, and the glow in the sky Wan Dao, he returned to heaven with the two gold and silver boys.

The face of Master Puxian, who was paying close attention to him in secret, turned dark. From the moment Taishang Laojun came out, he knew that this difficulty was over. The two boys, Gold and Silver, were looking too far. With so many treasures, they didn’t even think about it. Tang Sanzang was captured, and he was deceived and couldn't find the north. The situation was terrible now. I don't know how to explain to the Buddha after going back.

……

In the West, at the Great Leiyin Temple, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva came back depressed. When Tathagata saw his expression, his heart sank, knowing that nothing good was going on.
  "Honorable Samantabhadra, how are you going with these two dilemmas?"

"Reporting to the Buddha, I only completed one difficulty."

Tang Sanzang was not caught. King Jinjiao and Yinjiao blocked the road, which could only be regarded as a difficulty.
  "Please tell me in detail what happened." Tathagata asked in a deep voice.

Puxian Bodhisattva immediately recounted everything that the Buddhist scripture gathering team encountered in the Lotus Cave in Pingdingshan.

All the true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas looked at each other inwardly, and actually felt that all this was extremely reasonable. After all, since the journey to the west, changes had constantly occurred. If there were no glitches, they would be a little uncomfortable with it.

After Tathagata finished listening, he frowned and remained silent. Although the two boys Jin and Silver were a little confused, in the end it was Tang Sanzang who didn't play by the rules.

King Silver Horn has just appeared. Before anything happened, Qin Ran and Sun Wukong teamed up to suppress it, and the treasure was taken away. The Golden Horned King was not very smart either, so he was easily fooled and was tricked by Sun Wukong.

Now Buddhism has sent three Bodhisattvas one after another, but accidents still happen frequently, which makes Tathagata extremely depressed.

"Master Samantabhadra, did you find anything wrong when you went this time?" "Buddha, I think Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, and Qin Ran are all very suspicious."

Tathagata looked at Samantabhadra in surprise and asked quickly: "Oh? What's suspicious about it?"

"After Tang Sanzang stepped into Pingding Mountain, he was extremely cautious, as if he knew there were monsters in advance. Qin Ran was quite cunning. As for Sun Wukong, he had some secret intentions. The two boys, Gold and Silver, were completely fooled. I fell into their trap and seemed to be led by them, which made me feel very suspicious." Manjushri Bodhisattva expressed his doubts.

Tathagata was speechless. He thought that Samantabhadra saw some flaws, but it turned out that he was just relying on intuition. Even if he didn't say it, Tathagata knew this. It seemed that he had too high expectations for this person.
  Since this journey to the west, Tang Sanzang died four times in a row. The disasters happened frequently and he suffered a lot, which caused his personality to change drastically. He was naturally wary of monsters, which is understandable.

And there is nothing to say about the characters of Sun Wukong and Qin Ran. They fought wits and courage with monsters and tried their best to protect Tang Sanzang, so as to ensure the integrity of the disaster.

Do they still need them to pretend to be acting? Deliberately allowing the monsters to take advantage of it and capture Tang Sanzang?
  Then this Journey to the West is a piece of shit. There is no authenticity from beginning to end. I am afraid that God will not be able to stand it and will not bring any merit or luck.

The only thing that made Tathagata feel suspicious was the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King. These two guys were a bit too stupid. They took six magic weapons and didn't even touch half of Tang Sanzang's clothes.

If the sage Lao Tzu hadn't sent the boy down to the lower realm in order to repay the karma, Tathagata would have been a little suspicious. The other party had deliberately chosen these two idiots to come down to the lower realm to disgust him.

Although the two difficulties did not proceed normally, one difficulty was finally completed, which gave Tathagata some comfort.

"Manjushri Bodhisattva, how are the arrangements for the next catastrophe going?"

The Tathagata turned his attention to the next disaster. The disaster of the Wuji Kingdom was planned by Manjushri himself. Buddhism had been preparing for it for a long time, so logically speaking, it should be much more confident.

"There shouldn't be any big mistakes in reporting to the Buddha." Manjushri Bodhisattva said uncertainly. After all, there were so many surprises along the way, which made him a little unconfident.

The Tathagata looked majestic and said, "Amitabha, Venerable Manjushri, you personally planned the disaster in the Wuji Kingdom. Just go and have a look. Make sure the disaster is complete and no more mistakes can be made."

“Follow the Buddha’s decree.”

Manjusri Bodhisattva showed a helpless look. He understood what Tathagata meant. This was forcing all the responsibilities to him. However, he was still somewhat confident in his heart. After all, the whole country of Wuji Country believed in Buddhism. The catastrophe had been planned years in advance.
  The lion monster is also his mount. Although its strength is not very good, it is proficient in the art of change and is extremely smart.

……

After Qin Ran and Sun Wukong surrendered the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King, they protected Tang Sanzang and continued on their way, quickly leaving the boundaries of Pingding Mountain.

This time, the situation of Journey to the West has changed. Buddhism has to rearrange the disaster again. Everything does not go according to the routine.
