[Prehistoric] The dead flower demon

In the Palace of Eight Views, Tongtian glared at Lao Tzu, apparently begging for his promise, but Yuanyuan knew Tongtian's temper, so he could only look at Si Nian.

Si Nian was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized, "Fellow Tongtian, this journey to the west is determined by God. Even if we stop it, it will only delay the time. Why don't we sell favors to Zhunti now."

Tong Tian was still angry, "Could it be that he can see his Buddhism flourishing?"

Lao Tzu's rare white-eyed eyes opened to the sky, and said, "The principle of prosperity leads to decline, haven't you realized it yet? The only thing in his Buddhist sect that can suppress luck is the nine-rank lotus platform. Even if he borrows the luck of the East this time, it's just a deadlock. .”

"That's the reason." Si Nian smiled unfathomably, "The road to the west is more than ten thousand miles, and those who learn the scriptures should go through all kinds of disasters, and my Taoist school is not without things to do."

Tong Tian's eyes lit up, and he said maliciously, "If the person who learns the scriptures dies on the way, this Buddhist sect will lose all face."

"This matter still needs to be pondered carefully," Yuan Yuan said with some embarrassment, "God will prosper the Buddha, even if we have a heart to resist, I am afraid that our supernatural powers will not be able to match the sky."

Lao Tzu was silent for a moment, then nodded, "That's the reason. That hozen is the Dharma protector of the Dharma Destination of Heaven, but he has a deep relationship with Nuwa's junior sister, so we can take action from it. But we have to trouble the Dharma protector to do it."

Nuwa has immeasurable merits and virtues, and only Nezha and Lu Ya are not heirs in her hands. If anyone can take that monkey as his disciple, he can borrow Nuwa's luck for his own use. When the monkey was born, Zhunti happily came to Fangcun Mountain to wait for the monkey to take the bait.

"Big brother's clever plan" figured out the key, and Tongtian and Yuanyuan laughed.

After leaving Bajing Palace, Si Nian laughed a little, came to Honghuang by himself, did not do other things, but kept getting involved with Buddhism, and wondered if Zhunti would want to kill him when he saw him after this incident.

At this time, the monkey also came to Xiniu Hezhou from Dongsheng Shenzhou because of his apprenticeship, but because of its strange appearance, the people were scared to flee, so they had to go towards the deep mountain.Or it was God's will, the road the stone monkey walked was the way to Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai.

One day, the stone monkey was on his way, and suddenly saw an old man in a coir raincoat fishing in front of him, trying to avoid it, when he heard the old man say, "Little monkey, why do you dodge so much when you see the old man?"

The stone monkey was stunned, and slowly approached, looked at the old man and asked, "Old man, why aren't you afraid of me like this?"

After the old man put down the fishing gear, he looked at the monkey carefully before he touched his head, "It's just a talking monkey, what's so scary? We came here from a long distance, did you ever think that your parents would worry about it?" ?”

Hearing that the old man talked about his parents, the stone monkey suddenly felt very wronged, and his tone was a little sad, "Old man, I was born of a stone and have no parents."

"Ridiculous" the old man stared at the stone monkey and said, "Every living thing has parents, why don't you have them? Is it because I am old that I can be bullied?"

"Old man, I really didn't lie to you!"

Seeing the monkey scratching its ears and cheeks anxiously, the old man laughed again, "Assuming you have never deceived me, let me ask you, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to look for immortals!" The stone monkey's eyes lit up, and he held the old man with both hands and asked, "Old man, are there any immortals on this mountain?"

The old man shook his head with a smile, and said in an inscrutable way, "I have never heard of any gods on this mountain, but in the land of the East China Sea, it is said that there is a fairy island in Yingzhou, and the owner of the island is Si Nian, a human saint. , but you can look for opportunities.”

"That's great, thank you, old man!" Hearing this, the stone monkey hugged the old man and kissed it, then ran down the mountain

"This splashing monkey" the old man smiled helplessly, and in a blink of an eye he turned into a young man in a zodiac robe, who was the human saint, Si Nian.

Inside the Xingyue Mountain Star Cave, Zhunti was silently waiting for the stone monkey to find him. Suddenly, he felt that the relationship between the monkey and his master and apprentice was gradually fading. Shocked, Zhunti made calculations. After a moment, Zhunti opened his eyes. He was so angry that he flew into a rage, "It's so despicable, I will never have a good time with you!"

After solving the matter of the stone monkey, Si Nian was heading towards Yingzhou on the cloud, and was coming to Dongsheng Shenzhou, when he felt an invisible coercion coming towards him.

Blocking this coercion, Si Nian looked at the void and said with a smile, "Fellow Taoist, why are you sneaking around?"

"Si Nian, you can't be a son of man!" Zhunti pointed at Si Nian and scolded him, looking like he really wanted to get rid of this person

"Fellow daoist, beware of violating the precept of anger." Si Nian looked at Zhunti with a smirk on his face, "As early as in Miluo Palace, I once said that the cause and effect of fellow daoist and my lineage in Yingzhou will disappear, and at this time, fellow daoist is blocking my way What do you want?"

Zhunti was so angry that even his fingers were trembling, "Si Nian, you clearly know that the stone monkey is destined to be with me, why did you secretly trick him into bewitching him and ruin my relationship as a teacher and student?"

"Fellow Daoist's words are unreasonable." Si Nian curled his lips, and said helplessly, "I'm not a saint, how would I know that monkey is destined to be with you, I just saw that monkey is quite spiritual, so I thought of accepting him for a while. Besides Seeing that the monkey didn't ask fellow Taoists as his teacher, did he?"

How could Zhunti believe such nonsense, and immediately took out the wonderful tree of seven treasures, "Fellow Daoists have been in trouble with my Buddhist sect several times. Do you really think that this saint is a clay bodhisattva? Today I must teach you a lesson."

"Fellow Daoist, have you forgotten the words of Patriarch Dao?" Si Nian sneered, and looked at Zhunti, "If you want to do something to the poor Daoist, you should first consider how to explain it to Patriarch Dao."

Although others didn't know about Hongjun's deeds, Zhunti, who was a saint, knew it very clearly. Just one look that day made the five saints feel powerless. He didn't want to prove whether the saint was immortal or not.

Zhunti is also in a hurry. Seeing that Buddhism is about to flourish, the good Buddhist guardians are gone, and the matter of borrowing luck from Nuwa has also come to naught. How can I explain to my senior brother?

After thinking about it, Zhunti had no choice but to close his eyes, and did a very rascal thing, which was to block Si Nian's way and spend time with him here.

Seeing that Zhun made up his mind to stop him from passing, Si Nian almost spat out a mouthful of blood, he is still a saint, even a local ruffian is not as thick-skinned as him.

As time passed, Si Nian sat on the cloud head and looked at the immovable big Buddha in front of him, and heaved a long sigh, "Fellow Daoist, you are also the leader of a party, and you are a saint, so you won't be afraid of being ridiculed by everyone if you do this?"

Zhunti opened his eyes, looked at Si Nian sadly, and asked the question that he had been asking for many years, "My fellow Taoist is also considered to be in the same robe, and I even listened to lectures in Zixiao Palace. I asked myself that I have never done anything to apologize to my fellow Taoist." , Why is fellow Taoist against my Buddhist sect?"

"This..." Seeing Zhunti's attitude, Si Nian was also a little embarrassed, after all, he was really at fault for this matter.

"Fellow daoist is also a person of great merit and virtue, and this matter has nothing to do with fellow daoist, so why should fellow daoist stand up for the Sanqing like this?" Zhunti persuaded earnestly, "This matter is related to the great prosperity of my Buddhist sect. Fellow Daoist is perfect." After finishing speaking, he bowed to Si Nian.

Seeing Zhunti's actions like this, Si Nian was taken aback, and hurriedly turned sideways, "What do you mean, Fellow Daoist? You can't do it!"

Raising his head, Zhunti's gaze was a bit deep, "Fellow Taoist is really determined to fight against my Buddhist sect?"

"Hey..." Si Nian sat on the cloud head and sighed, "Zhunti, I don't want to go around in circles with you. I have been against you several times. I really can't see your behavior, especially under the Sanshanguan. It was almost robbed."

"I only think about the West"

Glancing at Zhunti, Si Nian shook his head, a little funny, "Fellow Daoist would rather let go of the face of a saint for the sake of the great prosperity of the West. I really admire that, but fellow Daoist, do you know why your strength has been ranked last among the saints for so many years? Even Saint Nuwa can't win?"

Zhunti was stunned, and also blushed a little. Saints are immortal, and what is compared in the battle is the comprehension of the way of heaven, and since he has been working for the West for many years, his comprehension of the way of heaven is inevitably reduced.But the western thing is an obsession in my heart. If I can't really see the prosperity of Buddhism, how can I be at ease?

"Obsession becomes a demon." Si Nian shook his head, sighing a little, "Fellow Taoists must also know what it means. Buddhism is inherently deficient. How long can it last with the luck you stole? The next time the calamity comes, your Buddhism will be able how much is left?"

Zhunti fell silent when he heard the words, and his expression changed several times. Seeing him like this, Si Nian sighed, "Forget it, since you don't understand what I mean, I don't need to waste my words. Since I have lost my mind about the stone monkey, I promise you , let him escort the Buddhist scriptureman on the road, so that your Buddhism can truly prosper."

"Fellow Daoist, are you serious?" Zhunti raised his head and looked at Si Nian in disbelief.

"Of course it's serious." After Zhunti was forced into such a gaffe, Si Nian was a little amused, "But you have to promise me that you will not be left in trouble after the Journey to the West is over."

The cause and effect between the stone monkey and the west has become superficial, and Zhunti thought that the matter of going eastward would be stranded indefinitely, but now hearing Si Nian's promise, he immediately nodded, "I will not leave any trouble, as long as I see the prosperity of Buddhism, I will forget about it. "

"Then let's say goodbye to fellow Taoists." Si Nian smiled, and flew to Yingzhou Island in auspicious clouds

Zhunti shook his head in embarrassment, and was about to head towards the west, but suddenly felt something in his heart, and headed towards Fangcun Mountain again...

As soon as he returned to Yingzhou Island, Si Nian heard Hanmei say angrily, "Teacher, there is a monkey from outside the island to worship the master, and he can't be driven away."

So fast?Si Nian was a little puzzled, so he asked Han Mei to bring the monkey over, and seeing that it was the stone monkey, he asked, "What do you mean by coming to my Yingzhou Island?"

The stone monkey saw that the person sitting above him had a handsome complexion and an immortal demeanor, and immediately knelt down in joy and said, "I beg the elder to accept me as an apprentice!" After speaking, he was worried that this person would not accept him, so he kowtowed .

Looking at the monkey, Si Nian was a little amused, he lifted him up with a light hand, and said softly, "You are also a person of great background, you don't have to act like this, just be my fifth disciple."

After a pause, Si Nian said again, "You first kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to the Holy Mother of the Human Race! I will explain the cause and effect to you later!"

Although the stone monkey didn't understand what it meant, seeing that the man agreed to accept him, he immediately bowed three times and bowed respectfully in the direction of Wa Palace!

In Wa's palace, Nuwa looked at the monkey with relief, and thought, "It's a wish of mine that this monkey can worship under this person. After all, the lineage of Yingzhou belongs to the Taoist sect, so it's better to go and be the guardian of Naluoshizi's Buddhist sect."
