Journey to the West: Great Sage, please release the Tathagata child

Chapter 72 Bodhi Patriarch
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Taibai Jinxing hurried out to ease the atmosphere, "The True Monarch may have his own difficulties. If His Majesty allows it, the old minister is willing to go to Guanjiangkou again and ask the True Monarch what it is."

"No need!" The Jade Emperor waved his hands irritably, "I don't care about him right now, we should focus on the overall situation."

"Journey to the West is about to start. Jin Chanzi is now in the eighth reincarnation, but the monkey head in Huaguo Mountain is still silent, and Beiju Luzhou lost the war again. All the immortals, do you have any good suggestions?"

The eyes of the Jade Emperor passed by from the civil and military immortals, but none of the immortals dared to look at the Jade Emperor.

It's not that these immortal families are unwilling to contribute, it's because their strength doesn't allow it.

What's more, the Tota Heavenly King had tried his best to deal with the monster monkey in Huaguo Mountain before, but in the end, the monster monkey directly threatened death.

Heavenly Court has always dealt with monster races either by suppression or coercion. It is indeed very troublesome for someone like Sun Xingzhe to seek death directly. If Sun Xingzhe is really forced to death, the tens of thousands of years of preparation will be ruined. What should I do?

If the westward journey cannot be carried out, the karma owed by the Eastern Taoism to the Western religion will be in vain. Once the saint is furious, who can bear it?
"Your Majesty, that monkey head is obsessed with cultivation. It's really troublesome. I'm afraid there is no chance to use ordinary methods to lure and deceive. According to the old minister's humble opinion, I'm afraid I have to ask someone to do it." Taibai Jinxing suddenly thought of a way.

"You mean..." The Jade Emperor realized immediately, but he didn't say the name of the person Taibai Jinxing was referring to.

Taibai Jinxing had obviously done some research on Sun Xingzhe, and knew that the monkey head was conceived by a natural spirit stone. He had no father, no mother, and no attachments since he was a child. If he only wanted to cultivate, he could not use any means to force him to submit.

But there is one person who can influence the monkey's thoughts, and that is the only karma owed to Sun Xingzhe in the Three Realms so far.

"Then, I'll leave it to you at this time, so I'll take it easy on you." The Jade Emperor waved his hand at Taibai Jinxing, and then announced his retreat. Taibai Jinxing hurriedly prepared to leave, but was entrusted in front of Nantianmen Ta Tianwang stopped him.

"Taibai Jinxing, you were in the hall just now, what kind of riddles were you playing with His Majesty? Why can't I understand a word?"

"Oh, the king of heaven doesn't know something." Seeing no one around, Taibai Jinxing explained in a low voice: "Although the monkey head is a natural monkey, it is just like the six-eared macaque, but its body is strong and has no supernatural powers."

"Later, under the calculation of Buddhism, the monkey head knew the reincarnation of life and death, so he devoted himself to seeking the art of longevity, and under the calculation of Buddhism, he went through mountains and rivers to find the Sanxing Cave on Fangcun Mountain above Xiniu Hezhou, and worshiped under the seat of the Bodhi ancestor. .”

"That monkey head studied with Bodhi Patriarch for seven years, did chores for four years, and practiced magical powers for three years. Only then did he have what he is today. The Heavenly King may not know the origin of Bodhi Patriarch."

"That's the benevolent corpse of the one in the West today, and the monkey head didn't know it until he left at the end. He has been calculated all the time, and he owes Buddhist karma, so if he wants to let the monkey head go to heaven, who can I ask? Show up."

"Oh, that's how it is!" Heavenly King Tota suddenly understood.

On Huaguo Mountain, I thought that the old Taoist with white hair and youthful face came on the wind, and Nezha, who was guarding in front of the mountain gate, immediately became nervous.

The old Taoist in front of him knew that his cultivation base was unfathomable at a glance, and Nezha couldn't see the depth of the opponent's strength, so he hesitated for a while.

Within the Three Realms, someone as strong as Lao Dao should have been famous long ago, but Nezha didn't know him, which made him immediately vigilant.

The old Taoist slowly lowered the cloud head and landed in front of the mountain gate. When he saw Nezha, he calmly raised his hand and saluted, "Infinite Heavenly Venerable, Bodhi, come to look for my unworthy disciple, please come in and let the third prince know."

This seasoned apprentice?Who?I still know my identity, obviously I know myself, but why...

Nezha suddenly realized that the battle between Tianting and Buddhism and Beiju Luzhou had temporarily come to an end, and the focus would obviously be shifted to Sun Xingzhe's side. It was obvious that the person in front of him might be specially recruited by Tianting or Buddhism to deal with monkeys.

Yes, it must be so!Nezha's mind turned quickly, and he already decided in his heart that this matter had something to do with heaven or Buddhism.

So Nezha immediately showed a smiling face, "It turns out that the senior is here, so please go in, there is no need to report."

Nezha backed up straight away and got out of the way, so he wouldn't be stupid. He went inside to report, avoiding agitating the enemy, and being able to trick the monkey, he was very happy.

The moment the old Taoist priest entered Huaguo Mountain, Sun Xingzhe, who was in retreat in the Shuilian Cave, suddenly opened his eyes, and the broken golden pupil saw the old Taoist walking towards the Shuilian Cave, and a paragraph naturally appeared in his mind. The past.

Those memories belonged to Sun Wukong, the time he practiced in the Three Star Cave on Fangcun Mountain, and Sun Xingzhe immediately recognized the old man who was walking slowly in front of him.

"Patriarch Bodhi? Why is he here?" Sun Xingzhe was slightly surprised.

What surprised him was not that Patriarch Bodhi came to look for him in person, but why Patriarch Bodhi appeared in this world.

In the original plot, although the Bodhi ancestor taught Sun Wukong supernatural powers, when Sun Wukong left Fangcun Mountain, he made him swear not to reveal his identity.

Patriarch Bodhi has a profound cultivation level, and he is one of the few in the Three Realms who combines the three religions to show his holiness, but even so, he lives cautiously, just because he is a good corpse of the Tathagata.

For quasi-sages, there are three ways to become a saint.

One is to prove the way with strength, like Sun Xingzhe, taking Pangu as an example, his true spirit is above the way of heaven, and if the way of heaven is destroyed, he can still exist forever in the world.

The second is to cut off the three corpses to prove the Tao. Taking Taiqing Laozi as an example, he cut off the good corpses, evil corpses, and self-obsessed corpses, broke through the self, and entrusted the true spirit on the way of heaven to become holy.

There is also the worst kind, proving the Tao with merit, such as Nuwa who created man to fill the sky and benefited all beings in the three realms with great merit.

Like Taiqing Laozi, who beheaded three corpses to prove the Tao, there was an accident on the way, leaving the good corpse of the Taishang Laojun in the world, but because of the blessing of the primordial purple energy, he still successfully proved the Tao and sanctified.

It's just that Taiqing Laozi also left regrets and hidden dangers for this, which prevented him from becoming a saint like Hongjun.

And Bodhi is the good corpse of the Tathagata. If the Tathagata wants to prove the Tao and become a saint, he must kill Bodhi, so the death battle between the two is doomed to be inevitable.

Because of this, he warned Monkey King not to reveal his identity to the outside world when he went down the mountain.

However, Patriarch Bodhi didn't know that even he was just a pawn in the journey westward.
