Journey to the West from My Backyard

When Sun Wukong said Sun Wukong's words to Zhao Gongming, Zhao Gongming also nodded.

"That's right, second brother, you have always been free-spirited. Although you have worshiped Zhun Bodhi and Tang Sanzang as teachers, there are many other factors in it. But there is no need to be entangled with them. If something happens in the world, Huaguo Mountain is also a good place to avoid disaster."

"But what about you, third brother? You are also the Marshal of the Canopy of the Heavenly Court. You have a high position and authority, and you are highly valued by the Jade Emperor. You also promised Buddhist sages to help them go to the West to learn scriptures. Now you have been involved in these things, and finally The important thing is that your master, Dijiang, is now within the six realms."

"If the chaotic beast really wants to conquer the Three Realms, I'm afraid that no matter how extraordinary the status of the six realms is, Empress Houtu will have to deal with this disaster. I don't know what you plan to do now?"

Zhao Gongming asked Li Taibai.

After listening to Zhao Gongming's words, Li Taibai didn't know how to reply.When he saw Li Taibai was silent, Zhao Gongming could more or less guess what he was thinking.

"Third brother, I know you have lost your mind now. Although you are involved with so many forces, if the world really falls apart, I am afraid that there will not be a place that can protect you by then."

"My master Tongtian Jiaozhu is tolerant by nature, and has an upright character. If you really have nowhere to go, I can open the door for you in Jinao Island. It's just that my master Tongtian Jiaozhu is also one of the Sanqing. When the time comes, the chaotic beast will I'm afraid there will be a battle with our Jinao Island."

"But even in that case, with my master still around, we don't have to bear all the pressure. It may not be able to keep you safe, but at least our sect is different from other sects, and we can treat you sincerely."

Zhao Gongming said to Li Taibai.

Hearing what Zhao Gongming said, Li Taibai also knew that he was delivering an olive branch to himself.But Li Taibai still felt very moved in his heart, because Zhao Gongming's wooing was completely different from other forces.He could feel that Zhao Gongming proposed to find a way only because he was worried about his own comfort, which was different from others who just planned to use his own power.But Li Taibai thought about it and shook his head.

"Brother Zhao Gongming's words, I also appreciate the good intentions of the third brother. However, my situation is more complicated than you imagined. I promised Buddhism and helped them complete the spread of Buddhism to the east. Some of them were indeed restrained by them." place."

"As long as Buddhism needs it, I still have to obey their orders. Even if I face the threat of chaotic beasts, I can't do anything about it. And whether it's my master Di Jiang or the Jade Emperor, they are all very kind to me. .”

"Even if I hide in Jin'ao Island and can't come out, I can avoid these disasters. But my heart can't bear these sufferings. Instead of this, I might as well face the disaster head-on and look for opportunities."

Li Taibai said to Zhao Gongming.

Hearing what Li Taibai said, Zhao Gongming also shook his head helplessly.

"Third brother, you are really a man of temperament. You can be stupid. But it is also because of this that I feel that you and I are very similar in character. Since this is the case, I have another suggestion. How to do it, you have to It's up to you."

Zhao Gongming said to Li Taibai.

Hearing what Zhao Gongming said, Li Taibai became interested again.

"Brother, what do you mean by this? Can you explain it in detail?"

Li Taibai said to Zhao Gongming.

"Third brother, according to what you said, I have roughly guessed your intentions. You should be planning to go to the place of the Six Paths to join Senior Di Jiang and others, right?"

Zhao Gongming asked Li Taibai.

Hearing Zhao Gongming's words, Li Taibai thought about it carefully.Indeed, according to my personality, now I can only find my master.

"Third brother, I don't recommend you to do this. The reason is that the effect of your going to the six realms is not very important. Whether it is Senior Dijiang or Empress Houtu, any one of them has far higher supernatural powers than you. "

"Even if you go to the six realms, you may not be able to help them. Moreover, Senior Dijiang has already been to the Heavenly Court, and he already has an understanding of the situation in the Heavenly Court, so you don't need to inform them."

"And more importantly, you have the handle in the hands of Buddhism. If you have taken away Monkey King and let Tang Sanzang return to Buddhism. If you don't show up for a long time, I'm afraid Buddhism has every reason to tear you apart."

"Instead of doing such a useless thing, why don't you go directly to Buddhism. First, being able to express your determination to form an alliance with Buddhism can also gain their favor."

"Secondly, if you really reach an agreement with Buddhism, it will be of great benefit. This chaotic beast is destined to make waves in our east first. If you get the support of Buddhism, then the saints of the heavens can go to deal with it together The chaotic beast will be much more graspable at that time."

"In this way, you have made a great contribution. After all, you are still a destined person in Buddhism, and those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas also need your support."

Zhao Gongming said to Li Taibai.

After listening to Zhao Gongming's words, Li Taibai suddenly understood.On the surface, Zhao Gongming has a straightforward image, but after living for so many years, he may even have a hair on his head.His advice to Li Taibai is also sharp, and it is indeed of no value to go back to the place of the Six Paths now.It's better to go to Buddhism and find a way to go there to move rescuers.

And now that Monkey King is by his side, even if he doesn't have enough bargaining chips, he and Monkey King together can seduce Buddhism.

"Brother said it was true. After listening to the third brother, he felt enlightened. In this case, after this banquet, I am going to go to the Western Paradise with Brother Monkey."

"Okay, now that the matter has been explained clearly, let's continue drinking, brothers."

Zhao Gongming said to Li Taibai.

Then the atmosphere became lively again. After the banquet, Li Taibai and Sun Wukong said goodbye to Zhao Gongming.

"Brother, no matter where you are, always remember that I am your big brother. No matter what happens, we can bear it together."

Zhao Gongming said to Li Taibai.

"Don't worry, big brother. I am also lucky to have a big brother like you."

Li Taibai said gratefully.

So farewell to Zhao Gongming, Li Taibai and Monkey King are ready to go.They flew towards the Lingshan Mountain in the west, and Li Taibai and Sun Wukong also started to move towards the west at the fastest speed at this time.Because all kinds of prehistoric and strange beasts in the three realms have all appeared, if they find out, the two sides are now enemies and not friends, which is probably not a good thing.

It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at Xitian Paradise.

"It's really strange. It's not the first time that my grandson has come to the Western Paradise. However, I remember that the defense line here is very loose. But now there are so many Dharma protectors? The grandson still feels that there is something inside. There are so many masters, it is really strange."

Sun Wukong said to Li Taibai.

After listening to Monkey King's words, Li Taibai smiled and nodded.

"Brother Hou, the matter of the Chaos Beast is already known to the third level. Even your master and apprentice were captured by the Chaos Beast. And the Chaos Beast went to Kunlun Mountain to fight Sanqing again. I'm afraid Now everyone in the major sects is in danger. It is normal to be careful here, let's go down."

Li Taibai said to Sun Wukong.

In this way, the two of them came to the foot of Lingshan Mountain and met the guarding gods.The Guardian God looked at Li Taibai with extreme vigilance.

"Who is coming? Report your name quickly."

The guardian god said to Li Taibai.

"Brother, I am Marshal Tianpeng, and the person next to me is Tang Sanzang's apprentice Sun Wukong Lao. Please pass it on to Lao Lao.

Li Taibai said to the Dharma Guardian God.

However, what made Li Taibai a little strange was that the Dharma Protector God didn't directly go in to communicate.

"Haha, the Buddha has long said that the two of you will come to him. If you two come, we will take you to see the Buddha directly. No transmission is required."

Hearing the words of the guardian deity, Li Taibai not only admired the saint very much.Not only is his strength the best, but even his mind is very exhaustive.Under the leadership of the guard, Li Taibai and Monkey King came to the vicinity of the lotus pond.There was only a very skinny ascetic monk standing in front of him. Seeing the skinny old man in front of him, Li Taibai knelt down and bowed down.

"The junior Canopy Marshal Li Taibai has seen Amitabha."

Li Taibai said to Jieyin sage.

"Haha, Marshal Tianpeng, this is not the first time we two have met. Don't be too polite, get up."

The guiding sage said to Li Taibai with a very loving smile on his face.

"Marshal Tianpeng, I haven't thanked you enough for what happened last time. It's really thanks to you that Jin Chanzi and his disciples escaped this time, and you also saved King Ming Ming."

"I originally thought there was a grudge between you and King Dapeng Ming, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant of the past. After all, I underestimated you."

Amitabha said to Li Taibai.

"The Buddha's words are absurd. King Dapeng Ming was in danger that day, and he was also helping me. It is impossible to ignore it."

Li Taibai said.
