Journey to the West: I, Bodhi's villain, was overheard by monkeys

Samsung Cave, Wuxin Pavilion.

Patriarch Bodhi sat quietly on the jade mat and enlightened, a little fairy boy came in and told:
"Master, Sun Wukong said outside the door that he had something to see."

"Oh?" Bodhi opened his eyes, "Let him in."

"Yes, Master."

After a while, Monkey King came in, knelt down and worshiped Bodhi.

"Master is good."

"What do you want from me?" Bodhi took a sip of tea calmly.

"I'm here to say goodbye. Disciple, I'm sorry Master. I'm going down the mountain today..."

Bodhi was so shocked that he spit out all the tea in one gulp.

As a saint, he was almost unstable, this was the first time in thousands of years!
After finally stabilizing his mind, Bodhisattva asked:

"Wukong, why did you plan to go down the mountain when you just started apprenticeship?"

"I have been away from Huaguo Mountain for many years, and I want to go back to see my monkey grandson."

"So I'm homesick..."

Bodhi stroked his long beard and thought about it secretly.

"Strange, Wukong is so obsessed with the way of longevity, why did he change his mind in just one day? If he goes down the mountain, wouldn't the wishful thinking of the East and the West be in vain?"

It turns out that Bodhi has long been aware of Sun Wukong's monkey life trajectory. The reason why he is accepted as a disciple is one aspect of talent, and more importantly, the source of merit in him!
The great merit of learning Buddhist scriptures from the Western Paradise is a grand event that both Buddhism and Taoism have been looking forward to for thousands of years!

Once the merits and virtues are completed, not only will the Western religion be able to flourish in China, but the Eastern religion will also get a share of the pie!

All the immortals and Buddhas who participated in it will get great benefits, not to mention Bodhi who has taught the core combat strength of the learning team.

However, the current plot obviously did not develop according to the script written by the big guys.

because…

Sun Houzi didn't want to make progress, he was going down the mountain early!
This really raised the question of whether it is difficult to say that Tao is difficult or not easy to say to Bodhisattva.

Don't let him go down the mountain, there is no particularly good reason.Let him go, I'm afraid it's hard to explain to Tianting and Tathagata...

"Grass... This pot is too big, I can't carry it by myself!"

Thinking of this, Bodhi smiled and said to Sun Wukong:
"Wukong, it's not easy for you to come here, why don't you take this opportunity to visit the beautiful scenery of Fangcun Mountain?"

"What? Does Master mean to let me go on a tour?" Sun Wukong looked bewildered.

"That's right. I've granted you three days off as a teacher. You can play whatever you want. Just tell me if you want anything. After three days, if you still want to go down the mountain, you can go anytime."

Bodhi was a tactic to delay the attack. Sun Wukong had a simple mind, and he just nodded and agreed immediately, thinking it was the master's kindness.

"Master, I don't want anything, I just ask Brother Li Ling to play with me."

"This..." Bodhi smiled wryly, "Okay, I promise you as a teacher."

"Thank you Master for making it happen!"

After Sun Wukong kowtowed, he retreated excitedly.

Bodhi breathed a sigh of relief, the first hurdle was finally passed.

But this is not the end, he has to call in the rescue soldiers from the sky.

"At the end of the day, it is the Western Sect that has benefited the most from traveling to the west. My Fangcunshan can be regarded as grabbing business under the eyes of his Tathagata. Let me tell him first!"

Thinking of this, Bodhi squeezed out a paper crane out of thin air and threw it lightly.

The paper crane flapped its wings a few times, got out of the Wuxin Pavilion, and flew towards the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss...

……

……

Lingshan, Daleiyin Temple.

Tathagata sits quietly on the golden lotus platform in the Mahavira Hall, and all the Buddhas, Arhats, Bodhisattvas and King Kong under the platform listen to the teachings devoutly.

A paper crane passed through the main hall, and landed in the palm of Tathagata under the eyes of everyone.

"In my Xiniu Hezhou, there is someone who hides from the sky and hides from the Buddha's eyes?"

Tathagata blew lightly on the paper crane, and it turned into a few large characters:
"Wukong goes down the mountain, everything follows fate."

These eight characters floated above the hall, waiting for an expert to decipher them.

The Tathagata looked at the Buddhas:

"Who will try to solve it?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva stood up and folded his hands together: "I am willing to give it a try."

After getting Tathagata's approval, Guanyin pinched his fingers and frowned.

"The disciple has already figured it out."

"Oh? Tell me?"

Guanyin said solemnly:

"In this horoscope, there is a crisis of Buddhism hidden."

"What's the crisis?"

"I think in the beginning, during the battle of the gods in China, I sent two saints from the Western Paradise to help explain the teachings and defeat the emperor, and I was able to plant the 'cause' of the Buddha's fate. Now it is the time to bear the 'fruit', but this 'fruit' ’ I’m afraid he’s going to die.”

Tathagata nodded, "You understand well."

He blew out another breath, and the eight big characters disappeared in smoke.

Then, Tathagata said: "The old immortal must have been hiding in Hezhou, Xiniu, for many years, but it was not easy to tell me regardless of his identity..."

"The prosperity of Buddhism in Zhanzhou in the south depends entirely on the immeasurable merits of learning scriptures from the west. Such a great cause must not be abandoned halfway. The monkey head wants to go down the mountain, we can't follow his wish..."

At this time, a demon King Kong flashed out and said fiercely:

"The disciple is willing to be a lobbyist. If he refuses to accept it, he will use the Dharma to surrender!"

Tathagata shook his head: "My Buddha is merciful, and I can't force others to be difficult unless it is absolutely necessary."

At this time, Avalokitesvara suddenly had a flash of inspiration:
"The matter of learning the scriptures has something to do with the Eastern Heavenly Court. After all, the old fairy also belongs to the Eastern religion. Why don't we go there to rescue soldiers?"

"What Avalokitesvara said is very true..." Tathagata finally smiled, "I remembered that you have a deep relationship with the Eastern sect, so I will send you there."

"The disciple takes orders."

After receiving the decree, Guanyin held the clean bottle and flew out of Daleiyin Temple on the back of the golden-haired jiao, heading towards the eastern heaven.

Tathagata stared at Guanyin who was going away, his expression gradually became dignified.

The great cause of learning Buddhist scriptures is related to the rise and fall of Buddhism, and it must not be sloppy at all.If someone dares to destroy it, he doesn't mind killing it himself!

"Subduing Dragon Arhat, Subduing Tiger Arhat!"

The Tathagata called out, and two majestic golden arhats came out and bowed to the lotus throne.

"The subduing dragon is here!"

"The crouching tiger is here!"

"I ordered you two to go to the south of Xiniu Hezhou to find a place called Fangcun Mountain. You should always pay attention to the situation there, and report to me in time if there is any disturbance."

"Yes!"

After the two arhats subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger got the order, they each "drive" their mounts down the Lingshan Mountain and head straight to the south of Xiniu Hezhou.

"I, Xiniu Hezhou, is a place where Buddhism shines everywhere, and I don't need Eastern religions to preach. If Fang Cunshan is honest and responsible, that's fine. Once he does something that is not conducive to learning from the Western Paradise, I will definitely not forgive him."

The Tathagata expressed his attitude to the disciples, looked around the seat with a pair of Buddha eyes, and nodded in satisfaction when no one raised any objections.

At this time, Maitreya, the future Buddha who is the successor of the Tathagata, stood up and said with a smile on his face:
"Buddha, Maitreya thinks that this matter should not be too motivating. I had a relationship with the old immortal of Fangcunshan. He is a detached saint and has no intention of leaving any reputation in the three realms. Besides, we have already discussed with the Eastern religion about the matter of learning scriptures from the west. A tacit agreement has been reached, if the attitude is too tough, it is really inappropriate..."

After Tathagata heard this, although he was not very happy, he still calmly said:
"Maitreya, of course I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I won't do anything to that old fairy. However, the matter of learning scriptures is intertwined, and there is a definite number. Now that something is wrong with the monkey, someone must have learned from it." It is also a great merit to find out the villain behind it and get rid of it!"

"That's what the Buddha said."

Mi Le retreated sullenly.

At this time, the powerful bells of the Daleiyin Temple sounded, the Buddha's light shone everywhere, and it was solemn and solemn...

……

……

"Ah!"

Li Ling sneezed loudly.

He rubbed his nose and said to himself:

"I don't know if someone scolded me, or someone missed me?"
