Martial Arts: Immortality Begins from The Deer and the Cauldron

Chapter 1416

Above Lingshan Mountain, after Qin Ran disappeared, millions of monsters were raging. Master Tang Sanzang and his disciples seemed to have sensed the crisis and were practicing medicine at the foot of the mountain.

Patriarch Bodhi looked neither sad nor happy. He waved his white fly whisk, and suddenly a Buddhist barrier appeared on the edge of Lingyun River, blocking the way.

Looking at the panicked master and disciple Tang Sanzang, Tathagata looked calm and seemed to have a winning chance.

This Tang Sanzang was originally the reincarnation of his second disciple, Jin Chanzi. When he was reincarnated in the lower world, he had a strong Buddha nature, a firm will, and a compassionate heart. He could be said to be the best person to measure calamity.

But now he seems to have changed into a different person. He no longer has any Buddha nature in him. He is more lazy, free and easy, and does things as he pleases. His temperament is in line with Taoism.

The same is true for Sha Monk, Little White Dragon, etc. They originally had Buddha nature and were as wise as foolish, but they have been brainwashed by Buddhism, and now they have become chess pieces that the factory board does not want to control.

It is really ridiculous to say that all of these people who were originally destined to join the Buddhist sect, were at the center of calamity and possessed great luck, but had no Buddhist nature at all and turned their noses up at Buddhism.

This is also one of the reasons why Buddhist luck is weak.
  But without the intervention of Westward Journey variables, these factors are not a problem.

As long as you can go to the great formation and experience thousands of hardships, despair, and hope, you will naturally identify with the teachings of Buddhism, wash away the dust, and develop a bodhicitta.

The only thing that cannot be controlled is Sun Wukong.

This monkey has achieved the Daluo state and is free from the long river of time. It is impossible for him to be infected by evil methods and change his ways.
  "As expected of a saint, this monkey cannot be saved. I wonder if the ancestor has any ideas?"

Tathagata looked at Patriarch Bodhi.

Originally, he had already acquiesced to Taoist Mosquito, but this monkey's talent was terrifying, he was a rare genius, and he had a master-disciple relationship with Patriarch Bodhi.

If you can really persuade him, Ye Bairan is the best.

"Whatever, I always want to see this monkey.
  Patriarch Subhuti looked at the monk next to him and said:
  "You and he once had the same friendship. Go and call him."

……

Before Lingyun Crossing,
  Tang Sanzang said in a panic:
  "Wukong, it's clear that the Lingshan Formation has been broken, why can't we even get out of this world?"

"It's probably a Buddhist master who has taken action."

Sun Wukong looked warily at the Buddhist barrier that suddenly appeared. He had tried to break this barrier many times, but to no avail.

"Why hasn't Young Master Qin come back? Is there any danger?"

Tang Sanzang said worriedly.

Sun Wukong shook his head and said firmly:
  "Absolutely not. Mr. Qin can easily break the Lingshan Formation in front of the two saints. How can Buddhism hurt him? Mr. Qin should have reached some kind of agreement with Buddhism."

At this moment, in front of the master and the disciples, a handsome monk suddenly appeared, looking at Sun Wukong with a smile.

"Wukong, do you still recognize me?"

Seeing the sudden appearance of the monk, Tang Sanzang and others looked panicked.

Because they didn't sense anything was wrong just now. This monk clearly appeared silently and was not a good person.

"Senior Brother Wuming?"

Sun Wukong looked at the young Buddha on the lotus platform with a complex expression.

Even though the other person had no hair, no Taoist robes, and was glowing with Buddha light, he still paid close attention to him.

When he crossed the ocean and arrived at Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

It was this senior brother who introduced him to the Patriarch Bodhi, and after he started, he took care of him in every possible way, like an elder brother.

The brothers showed off their magical powers in front of others, and it was because of this brother's bewitchment that the Patriarch Bodhi was furious and expelled him from the school.

Later, he made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and was trapped under the Wuzhi Mountain. He also regretted it. If he had not shown off his skills, would his fate be different from the original?
  It wasn't until he met Qin Ran and got some advice from him that Sun Wukong understood that Rikiri was nothing more than a qualifier.

Now seeing this senior brother again, Sun Wukong felt mixed emotions in his heart.

"Wukong, I haven't seen you for hundreds of years. I didn't expect that you have achieved the fruit flavor of Daluo Jinxian, and your cultivation level far exceeds that of my senior brother. I am really happy and congratulated."

Wu Ming said with a smile, but his heart was a little complicated.

Sun Wukong has a terrifying talent. Within a few years of his training, his cultivation level has surpassed that of his brothers.

He had also felt jealous. Later, Sun Wukong was expelled from his master's sect and fell into a calamity. After being trapped, he was able to slaughter him and become a real factory. Unexpectedly, the other party actually took advantage of the weirdo.

"I wonder if senior brother suddenly appeared here. What's the important matter?"

Sun Wukong quickly adjusted his emotions and smiled.

"Wukong, you escorted Tang Sanzang and went through all kinds of hardships to reach Lingshan. Your merits are not small. The master sent me to invite you to meet me."

Wu Ming smiled.

This moment finally came, Sun Wukong sighed secretly in his heart, showed a sarcastic smile at random, and said in a weird tone:
  "Yes, according to the time, the ancestor should also see me."

Patriarch Bodhi, this was a person he wanted to see but also didn’t want to see.

"Master, please wait here. I will go see Patriarch Bodhi and I will come back later."

Sun Wukong turned his eyes to Tang Sanzang and said with some seriousness, he knew that he might not be able to come back.

Wu Ming looked at Sun Wukong with some surprise. He didn't know why the other party was so calm at this time. Does Xiongdao still care about whether the Queen's family is in the country or not?
  The two brothers, each with their own thoughts, passed through millions of monsters and came to a Buddhist palace.

"Junior Brother Wukong, please go in, the master is waiting for you inside."

Wu Ming stopped and said calmly.

Sun Wukong nodded calmly and walked into the Buddhist temple with an indifferent expression.

The Buddhist hall is very spacious, but inside it is decorated like a Taoist venue, with Xu Tu Liu Tuan placed on it.

It is strikingly similar to the scene in the Sanxing Cave of Xianyue.

Sitting on the top futon was an old man with an immortal spirit. He was the Bodhi Patriarch whom Sun Wukong had thought about countless times. .

"You monkey, you are finally here."

Patriarch Bodhi opened his eyes, looked at Sun Wukong in front of him, and said calmly.

"master."

Sun Wukong knelt down with a plop. His eyes couldn't help but become moist when he recalled the earnest teachings given to him by Patriarch Bodhi.

The display layout in front of him was the same as before, and it seemed to take him back to the Xie Yue Sanxing Cave at that time.

Patriarch Bodhi looked at Sun Wukong with a complicated expression, and Yu Zhou said with emotion:
  "Back then, when you traveled across the ocean and went through many hardships and dangers, you were still an ignorant little monkey when you came to Xianyue Sanxing Cave. I didn't expect that just a few hundred years later, you had achieved the status of Daluo Jinxian and jumped out of the long river of time. outside

"This kind of good fortune is hard to find throughout the ages. It's really touching."

"What I am today is all due to the teachings of my ancestors. I will never forget the kindness of my ancestors!"

Sun Wukong said in a low voice.

"In front of the saint behind you, do these small limbs of mine count as missing?" Patriarch Bodhi laughed at himself.

Sun Wukong felt a little uncomfortable inside and remained silent.

Patriarch Bodhi got straight to the point:
  "Wukong, do you know why my master wants to meet you suddenly?"

"Know something."

Sun Wukong suddenly calmed down for some reason. He raised his head and looked at Patriarch Bodhi.

Patriarch Bodhi was not surprised by this. Sun Wukong had the guidance of a saint behind him, and he was no longer the stubborn, ignorant monkey he was before. Knowing some inside information was nothing.

"It must have been that saint who told you!
  Sun Wukong remained silent.

When Patriarch Bodhi saw this, he didn’t bother to ask. It was okay. n E wasted:
  "Wukong, you emerged from the five-colored sacred stone. Your feet and aptitudes are top-notch. You have been blessed with great luck since birth. After going through disasters and completing your merits, you should join our Buddhist sect."

"The same is true for your master Tang Sanzang and your junior brother Sha Wujing. They all have their own destiny."

"But the difference is that Tang Sanzang is a disciple of Tathagata, and you are a disciple of this deity. This deity is the clone of Saint Zhunti, so it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the direct descendant of the saint."

"So in terms of status, you are not far behind the Five Buddhas of Lingshan."

"I didn't tell you these things before because of my plan to travel to the west. Now that the journey to the west is about to be completed and my merits are complete, I came here specifically to find out who you really are."

"Master, I already know all this."

Sun Wukong said calmly.

Patriarch Bodhi said gently:
  "Since you already know, the best thing is for me to ask you, are you willing to join the Buddhist sect and take on the responsibility of protecting the Dharma?"

"Excuse me, Patriarch, do you protect the Buddhas?" Sun Wukong asked calmly. Patriarch Bodhi smiled and explained:
  "Buddhist Dharma Protectors are the fighting Buddhas who protect Buddhism. There are eight groups in our Buddhism, including Dharma Protector Vajra, Five Hundred Arhats, Three Thousand Enlightenment, Twenty-Four Heavens and other Dharma protectors, who are responsible for protecting Buddhism."

"If you join my Buddhist sect, you will be fighting against the Buddha, and all these Buddhist sects will be under your jurisdiction."

"Sit on an equal footing with the five Buddhas in Lingshan, and enjoy my Buddhist destiny."

"From now on, not to mention the gods and immortals, even those great powers from the beginning of time will not dare to underestimate you."

After finishing speaking, Patriarch Bodhi looked at Sun Wukong calmly, waiting for his decision.

In order to allow the monkey to successfully enter Buddhism, he had done enough in advance. He not only arranged the Buddhist temple to look like a three-star cave with a slanting moon, but also explained the reason and painstakingly persuaded him.

After all, this monkey is a rare prodigy, with terrifying heels and outstanding talent, which is difficult for people to give up easily.

What's more, today's Buddhism, after being manipulated by Journey to the West, can only produce very few outstanding disciples. Compared with Sun Wukong, the remaining ones can be said to be far inferior.

Originally, in the original plan, Sun Wukong could be discarded, but he did not expect that the changes in Journey to the West would directly change the monkey and awaken the bloodline of the Chaos Demon Ape.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely achieve the quasi-sage status in the future and become the strongest fighting force among the Hunyuan Golden Immortals.

This made Patriarch Bodhi even more interested in cultivation, but unfortunately, Sun Wukong did not answer for a long time.
  He closed his eyes, and the past scenes appeared in his mind like a movie.

In the Huaguo Mountain, above the sea, in the Sanxing Cave and the Lingxiao Palace, everything is going right.

Time is full of thorns and has smoothed his edges. Sometimes he wants to stop, but a pair of invisible hands of fate keeps pushing him.

Journey to the West is a mission, it was arranged in advance, but now that Journey to the West is over, what is he still insisting on?
  He, Sun Wukong, was born with a free and easy nature. He did not want to be bound by the law, did not want to be controlled by fate, and did not want to be a chess piece.

Unrestrained is what he really wants.

Sun Wukong opened his eyes, looked at Patriarch Bodhi in front of him, and suddenly laughed.

"Sun Wukong will never forget the kindness of his master in teaching. Now he bows to the ancestor three times to express his gratitude for his cultivation."

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed three times to Patriarch Bodhi.

"I, Old Sun, know that since I was born, I have fallen into the saint's plan, and everything is for the sake of the prosperity of Buddhism."

"First, there was an ancestor who preached, and then he stole the elixir and the flat peach, and became the majestic Monkey King,"

"Then he was suppressed at the foot of Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years, suffered all kinds of hardships, and followed Tang San to seek Buddhist scriptures from the West. So Nan met a strange person."

"Now that I have completed the mission of a chess piece, I want to make the decision myself for once."

"I forgive my disciples for not being able to accept the Patriarch's wishes.

After saying that, Sun Wukong turned around and walked towards the main hall.

"You hozen, don't be stubborn. You must know that the great prosperity of Buddhism is the general trend of heaven."

Patriarch Bodhi sighed and said calmly.

"Heaven is ruthless, and the so-called general trend is nothing but man-made."

Sun Wukong paused and said (by King Li).

Patriarch Bodhi sighed and stopped talking.

In front of the Buddhist hall, there was a flash of black light, and a Taoist wearing black robes and a gloomy face appeared, looking at Sun Wukong greedily.

"You are such a bold monkey. The Patriarch was kind enough to save you, but you are not flattering him. You are where you are today because of the Patriarch's cultivation, but now you have forgotten it in the blink of an eye. In this case, I will kill you today and treat you with medical treatment. Later evil.”

Sun Wukong's heart trembled, and he looked at the black-robed Taoist in front of him unwilling to be outdone.

Some people are puzzled. Most of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on Lingshan Mountain have kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and the Buddha's light lingers around them.

But the person in front of him had a ferocious look, which was incompatible with the aura of the Buddhist holy land.

The whole body exuded a kind of overwhelming blood energy and evil spirit, which made his hair stand on end.

Could this person be some kind of ancient demon?
  But when he had just passed through millions of monsters and arrived at the Buddhist temple, he had never felt such a terrifying aura.

Patriarch Bodhi opened his eyes and sighed slightly:
  "Wukong, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but when you turn around, you will find the shore." Sun Wukong sneered and said:
  "Master, do you mean that if I go forward, it will be a dead end?"

Patriarch Bodhi frowned and said:
  “If you persist in your stubbornness, no one can save you.

"There is such a monster in the holy land of Buddhas. It seems that there is no difference between Buddha and monsters."

Sun Wukong smiled arrogantly and said:
  "If you obey, you are a Buddha; if you disobey, you are a demon.

"From this point of view, it doesn't matter if this Buddha cannot become a Buddha."

"Grandmaster, this monkey doesn't know the heights of the world, it's wild and untamable, and it's hard to convert. There's no need to talk nonsense to him anymore. Why don't you just let me swallow him from the back of my mouth."

The black-robed Taoist said with a cold expression, a kind of devilish energy flowing around Sun Wukong made the blood all over his body boil.

He could predict that if he fused his addiction to it, it would definitely make him improve his cultivation greatly and obtain unforeseen benefits.

Patriarch Bodhi sighed leisurely.

After some testing, he has learned that there is not much Buddha nature in Sun Wukong, but instead the demonic breath is surging.
