[Journey to the West] Empty Enlightenment Bodhi

"You are at a disadvantage now. I am not as despicable as you were back then. Taking advantage of others' dangers is not something I do, and I don't want to take advantage of you." Sun Wukong pretended to think for a moment, then drew his way, "Well, we will Compare the speed, if you run faster than me, you will be considered the winner, how about it?" In connection with being crushed under Wuzhi Mountain back then, the rules of the game formulated by Monkey King can be said to be very provocative.

It's almost like telling everyone in the Western Paradise clearly that there is a grievance and a debt. He, Sun Wukong, was slandered by the Tathagata back then, and now he is here to take revenge.

only--

Tathagata laughed loudly: "You are too conceited. You were defeated by me back then, but how can you escape my palm today?! I advise you to change the comparison."

Sun Wukong touched the golden cudgel with his palm while holding the golden cudgel, while with the other hand he pinched a formula behind his back.Ignoring Tathagata's smugness, Sun Wukong only asked Tathagata confidently: "When I ran to support the Tianzhu, you told me that it was your palm, and you never knew where you got the urine, pretending to be an old man. Sun My mark. Now, let's compete again, starting from your west sky and running to the end of the Tianzhu, if you can run past me, I will let you go today. What do you think?"

Tathagata pondered for a moment, thinking that it would be a big deal and he would recite the mantra later. He only said that the one who runs first wins, but he didn't say that cheating is not allowed. Besides, after leaving the heavily surrounded Western Heaven, he can't hide wherever he wants. So Tathagata readily agreed and said, "Okay."

Sun Wukong rubbed his fingers: "In this case, let Maitreya Buddha be a witness."

The smile on Maitreya Buddha's face could hardly hold back.This monkey is destined to make fun of him today. First he saved the disciples of the Buddhist family from his hands, and then rescued the Tathagata from his hands. This time, he named him as the referee again. Maitreya Buddha squinted his eyes and almost cried. : Tianzun, come and take care of your monkey!

Maitreya Buddha did not refute aloud, Tathagata Buddha naturally agreed, and the two great Buddhas in the Buddhist world expressed their views one after another, and no one objected any more.

Maitreya Buddha rubbed his chubby belly and presided over the belated competition with a cracked smile.

Bodhisattvas, arhats, and even Buddhas in the Western Paradise are all discussing. Some people say, "Sun Wukong is arrogant, and sooner or later he will suffer from this temperament." How to deal with them?" Some people are saying, "Sun Wukong repays grievances with virtue, saves others and saves himself, this is the real uprightness, and the Buddha's will is so much stronger than the Buddha!"

There were those who praised, those who criticized and criticized, and there were all kinds of voices. All of a sudden, the serious palace was turned into a noisy vegetable market.

Everyone's discussions were noisy, but they couldn't disturb the two people who were competing.

Tathagata concentrates and looks around, eyes rolling wildly, not missing any chance of getting out of trouble; on the other hand, Monkey King is calm and calm, as if the prey has already stepped into the trap, just waiting for him to collect the net and count.

At the order of Maitreya Buddha, the Tathagata jumped up and flew up the clouds; Sun Wukong jumped up and pulled a somersault cloud, and the two left the ground almost at the same time and flew away.

When the Tathagata Buddha was soaring into the clouds, he used his hind legs hard, but he didn't expect his feet to slip and fell backwards. Although he didn't fall off the clouds, he was already distracted.When he came back to his senses, he couldn't see the figure of Monkey King. He was afraid of falling behind Monkey King, so he ran as hard as he could, using all his mana for it. Unexpectedly, as he ran further and further away, the scenery he saw along the way was full of weirdness. The silence of the Tathagata's heart skipped a beat.

When he was thinking about whether to take the opportunity to escape, he found that Monkey King was not far in front of him, looking back at him at this moment.

Tathagata gritted his teeth and continued to speed up to catch up with Monkey King, but within a moment, Monkey King disappeared again.

Several times, whenever Tathagata wanted to sneak away, Sun Wukong seemed to be able to discern his behavior, and stared back at him sternly, and the more he ran, the more flustered he became, and finally he could only dispel the idea of ​​running away and concentrate on fighting with Monkey King Compare speed.

Having made up his mind, Tathagata tried his best to run all the way. However, for some reason, after running for so long this time, he did not see Monkey King. Tathagata felt doubts and couldn't help being discouraged. Could it be that Monkey King had arrived early?

After running suspiciously for most of the morning, Tathagata hurried and finally saw Monkey King's back.

The Tathagata Buddha was overjoyed, quickened his pace, and finally overtook Sun Wukong, gradually leaving Sun Wukong far behind.

Tathagata was quite happy at the beginning, after all, Sun Wukong was so far ahead of him from the beginning, and now he has the chance to win, seeing that the Buddha's position and life are preserved, how can he be unhappy? !All I had to do was jump up and shout out that the Tathagata Buddha is long live.

However, after traveling in this way for a certain distance, Tathagata realized something was not quite right after all.

According to Sun Wukong's footsteps, it's time to catch up with him now.

But this kind of inadequacy was quickly suppressed in his heart.

Sun Wukong is just a monkey, so how powerful can he be?Maybe I saw something delicious and fun on the road, and I was eager to play for a while, so I ran down.

Thinking of this, the Tathagata felt a little comforted in his heart, and ran all the way without stopping, and finally arrived at Tianzhu in the dark.

Four huge pillars support the entire sky, a very magnificent scenery, accompanied by the sunset glow in the sky, adding a bit of tranquility to the atmosphere.

Tathagata was so tired that he found a place and sat cross-legged.The evening wind is cool, winding around the ears and cheeks, bringing the comfort of being together.

Wait, why does it smell like urine?

Tathagata opened his eyes, and his heart became cold: "Sun Wukong, the monkey, shouldn't have come here a long time ago, and repeated his tricks to urinate on the pillars?!"

"If this is the case, he has no chance of winning at all!"

Tathagata was so startled that he jumped up, but he didn't feel tired, he just squatted down and carefully studied the direction of the wind, where did the smell of urine come from.

There was a faint smell of urine from the pillar supporting the sky, and with the breeze, it blew to the Tathagata's nose.

Tathagata frowned, carefully studying the faint smell of urine.

After a long while, the heart hanging in the air finally let go. It turned out that Monkey King did not come over.

This is monkey urine from 500 years ago. Because the place is secluded and there is no human habitation, even after 500 years of air drying, the smell of urine here has not completely dissipated.

Tathagata wrinkled his nose and scolded the monkey for not having a proper shape.

Since Sun Wukong has not arrived yet, Tathagata feels more at ease.For some reason, he was inexplicably sure that Sun Wukong was an upright and silly boy, and he was very sure that Sun Wukong would not cheat.

Tathagata waited at the Tianzhu, waiting for Monkey King to come, so that Monkey King would admit defeat.

The waiting time was too long, and Tathagata yawned boredly. He was not in Xitian now, and he didn't need to work hard to maintain his image.

He only thinks about expanding the territory all day long, he has not studied the scriptures for many days, and sitting down to meditate at this moment, I am afraid that it will not help him at all, but it will encourage his drowsiness.

Tathagata waited and waited, from sunset to dawn, from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, after several rounds of sun and moon, still did not see Monkey King.

Tathagata waited a little annoyed, so he thought that since he came first, should he leave some traces before leaving.

So, Tathagata wondered around how to leave traces.

It's just that he doesn't have anything else on him, and he doesn't have any special signs at the moment, so he won't have any ideas for a while.

At this moment, for some reason, he felt that Monkey King was peeing on the Tianzhu back then, which was a good way to mark it.

It's a pity that he couldn't do this due to his status as a Buddha.

Tathagata was thinking about how to enclose the land. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sky and the earth suddenly spun, and the sky spun. Tathagata hugged the supporting pillar tightly, so he was barely thrown off.

Standing on four pillars, Tathagata looked up, only to see Sun Wukong's big face reflected in the sky.

It looks very real - you can almost see the fine hairs on Sun Wukong's face, um, there are no large pores, it should feel very delicate to the touch, and it should be soft and slippery when kissed, like tender tofu.

Tathagata, however, is not interested in Sun Wukong's face, enlarged to take up the entire sky.

"What—what's going on?!" Rulai opened his mouth and asked, no one can change the will of the sky, why can Sun Wukong appear in the sky and reflect his big face in the sky, "What kind of demon method did you use? ?!"

Sun Wukong's big face faded away, and Maitreya Buddha's big face appeared in the sky again.

This, how is this possible? !

Forget about Monkey King, do all of them have mastered the spell to change the will of the sky? !

Tathagata turned pale in shock, thinking that this would not work, if they all know how to do it, but I can't, wouldn't my Buddha position be lost? !

Immediately afterwards, the faces of other bodhisattvas appeared one after another.

Even Arhats and envoys with high ranks gradually appeared in the sky.

Face after face, pointing at him, they are high above, but he is prostrate on the ground, this is not allowed!He has been a prince since he was a child, he is honorable, who allows these pariahs to point fingers at him? !Tathagata glared at them, but found that the group of pointing, talking and laughing people seemed to be the reflection of the sky.

"This must be a dream!" Tathagata yelled, "I'm sure I still haven't woken up from the dream," Tathagata slapped his face and shouted, "Wake up quickly, wake up quickly. These How can a person be the darling of heaven, but I am!"

Tathagata's actions seemed to please someone, and this person's big face appeared in the sky again.

"I'll give you a small world." Sun Wukong's big face appeared in the sky again, "This is a great opportunity, you should cherish it."

Tathagata fell to the ground with a distressed expression, "What kind of magic did you use to trap me in this dream, so that I couldn't even wake up! You must have united with the succubus!"

"What I am using is not demon law, but Buddha law," Sun Wukong didn't answer directly, "Just stay inside and calm down. Whenever you want to understand my method, the small world will naturally let you out."

"Despicable! Shameless!" Tathagata cursed.

"I think it's okay." Monkey King didn't scold Tathagata, but calmly reasoned with Tathagata, "You see, you couldn't beat me at all back then, and it was clear that I beat you, but you knew you couldn't beat you I, tricked me into jumping into the palm of your hand. Win or lose, I am inferior to you in terms of despicableness."

"Later, he tricked the Bodhisattva into letting me wear the imprisoner, saying that the clothes that were sealed to me, I thought they were official uniforms, but who would have thought that they were actually curses. In terms of shamelessness, I'm still not as good as you."

Tathagata fell on his back in anger, and wanted to go out suddenly, but unexpectedly, all the mana hitting the supporting pillar was absorbed, without any change at all.

"I advise you not to waste your efforts in vain," Monkey King's big face appeared in the sky again, accompanied by his gloating voice, "If you want to go out, you can only understand my spells. take you out."

"What demon method did you use?!" Tathagata Buddha was outraged.

"Demon law?" Sun Wukong smirked, "Actually, what I use is Buddhist law. If you insist on calling it demon law, then I have no choice."

The two people in this room were communicating, but everyone from the West Heaven in that room came forward one by one and saw their Buddha, the lonely Buddha, it was a bit pitiful.

It's a pity that they don't know what's going on with this thing, so they can only let Monkey King act.

It turned out that when Sun Wukong first talked with Tathagata, he cast a spell and then rubbed his fingers. This is not a bad habit, but a summoning technique.

Sun Wukong dropped two mustard seeds on the way of the two of them.

Monkey King walked up to the mustard seed, barely entered the mustard seed, and then came to his senses, so he stopped. This is the reason why Tathagata saw Monkey King earlier.

But the Tathagata stepped on the mustard seeds, and he only cared about fighting with Monkey King all the way. He was uncertain and unable to see through, so naturally he couldn't get out.

As the saying goes, "mustard seed Nasumi", if you are not sure, you can avoid talking about everything.

Monkey King didn't intentionally harm Tathagata, but it's a pity that Tathagata's heart is not firm, after all, he can only blame Tathagata for his inferior skills.

Everyone just watched Sun Wukong and Tathagata disappear together. Not long after, Sun Wukong reappeared in front of everyone, but Tathagata Buddha was nowhere to be found.It wasn't until Sun Wukong passed the small mustard seeds in his hands to everyone that everyone saw the Tianzhu in the mustard seeds and the Tathagata Buddha next to the Tianzhu.

"Mustard Nasumi, that's a good word "Mustard Nasumer."

Whether intentionally or not, several bodhisattvas said this over and over ten times.

"Don't worry about it," Sun Wukong pinched the mustard seed in his hand, turned it over and over again, and looked at it several times, "This mustard seed, except for my grandson, no one else can communicate with the small world inside the mustard seed. There is no way to talk to him. Even if you recite the Huayan Sutra hundreds of times outside, Tathagata Buddha will not be able to hear him."

The faces of the Bodhisattvas turned white and red, and finally they could only retreat to the side without saying a word.

"Since it's a fair competition, he loses because he is uncertain and has complicated thoughts, so he should accept his punishment."

Sun Wukong put the small mustard seed back on the lotus throne of the Tathagata Buddha, and laughed.

On the magnificent lotus throne, there is a mustard seed that runs away when the wind blows, which is very funny to watch.

"However, I'm not as vicious as he was back then. You see, even if he loses the game, I still recognize him as a Buddha. Well," Sun Wukong elongated his tone and looked at him critically, "Although your Buddha It may be a little small, but it doesn't matter, Buddhists, if you cultivate your heart, don't repair your watch, you can just treat him as dehydrated and concentrated."

Everyone in Xitian: ...I really want to hit him, what should I do? !

Maitreya took a step forward.

The eyes of all the people in the Western Paradise were glued to Maitreya Buddha, and they waved flags and shouted for Maitreya Buddha in their hearts: hit him!hit him!kill him!Give him some power and see!

Maitreya raised his signature smile and squinted his eyes.

Everyone in the Western Paradise: Here we come!It's time to start tearing!

"Great Sage, since the matter here is over, let's go first." Maitreya Buddha said goodbye to Sun Wukong.

Everyone in the Western Paradise: ...

Xitian Pills!

Maitreya Buddha and Sun Wukong are polite, but Monkey King is not polite to Maitreya Buddha.

"Let's go, let's go," Sun Wukong waved his hand, "I know you are rushing to help Bodhi, but you tell him for me, there is a definite number of life, and there is a definite number of extinction, let nature take its course, and don't obstruct it. It is the morality of Taoism. If he insists on going against the sky, if the sky doesn't help him, I won't help him either."

Maitreya Buddha pondered for a moment, and then said something extra: "The Great Sage means that the birth of Confucianism is God's will, but the other schools don't have to be destroyed?"

"You do have a bit of understanding," Sun Wukong said with a smile, "In this case, you can pass me a message along the way, if you see Shi Zhi next to the ancestor, you can let her take care of herself."

"Shi Zhi?" Maitreya Buddha frowned, "I don't know her,"

The white-haired mouse jumped out, lay on Maitreya Buddha's shoulder, and volunteered: "I know, I know! Shi Zhi is gentle and kind, and is very kind to us monsters. He also said that he wanted to establish a unified government for monsters. What did the Great Sage want me to tell? I listened carefully, so I can go back and tell her carefully!"

"You are not very tall, but you are quite good at clichés," Sun Wukong was not annoyed, and just continued, "There is nothing wrong with the dispute between the monster race and the human race. Since there is a heavenly way in this world, there are also heavenly demons. It has nothing to do with me to be this heavenly demon that destroys the world. But if Bodhi wants to go against the sky, Shi Zhi's strength alone may not be enough for him to do it."
