[Sword Three + Journey to the West] The Great Sage invited me to patrol the mountains

As soon as Yongshan finished speaking, everyone in the room fell silent.The heart of the Tathagata is clearly revealed, and they all know it well, but they don't know how to do it.However, Jiang Yanchen, the only one who might know the solution, didn't know anything. The danger he faced was greater than anyone else.

Jiang Yanchen smiled and said: "It's a rare meeting, what are you talking about? This must be resolved, but it's up to me to solve it."

The Bull Demon King excitedly said: "Little monk, you can't say that. Regardless of what the Tathagata has done that we can't get used to, just because you are the master of this dead monkey, this monkey takes you so seriously... ..."

Jiang Yanchen blushed strangely, and the Bull Demon King laughed loudly: "You two are holding hands and pretending I didn't see it? Anyway, this matter can't be left alone. We must get involved and help you! "

Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "What can you do? Don't make trouble."

"What do you think we can do?" Bull Demon King grabbed Yongshan's shoulder with one hand, stepped on the table, leaned forward, squinted his eyes and approached Sun Wukong, with a smirk on his face, "Hmm?"

Sun Wukong snorted coldly and turned his head away from her.

Yongshan steadied her and tried hard not to let her fall, and the Bull Demon King said loudly: "500 years ago, you didn't take me with you for such a good thing as making trouble in the Heavenly Palace! I'm still angry and tell you!"

"What?" Sun Wukong had a cold look in his eyes, as he vaguely guessed something.

"Why?" Bull Demon King smiled maliciously, "I also want to make Heaven's Court feel so uneasy again."

*****************

"To be honest, I think they are very unreliable."

After a brief reunion, Jiang Yanchen and Sun Wukong bid farewell to the Bull Demon King and his wife, and conveniently kept Zhu Bajie to find a way to subdue Tathagata.

The Bull Demon King and the others started to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace. Jiang Yanchen wrote a letter and sent it to Xiao Bailong who was far away in the West Sea, while Zhu Bajie stayed behind to help him.After he and Sun Wukong found a way to return to the West Paradise, they attacked the Heavenly Court together to hold people back for them.

The soldiers are divided into two groups, which is convenient for doing things.

Although it was easy to say, the method of subduing Tathagata has always been stuck in Jiang Yanchen's mind.Sun Wukong pondered for a long time, and mentioned that there was another person who might know something.Asked him, he shook his head and refused to say anything.That's why he had to reduce the number of people to the minimum, and only took Jiang Yanchen on the road alone.

Others didn't know, but Jiang Yanchen faintly noticed some clues in his heart.

When Sun Wukong first entered the world, except for himself, he only worshiped one master. This master has great powers, but he has been living in seclusion. Therefore, there are very few rumors about him in Kyushu.

This person is none other than Patriarch Bodhi.

In "Journey to the West", after Bodhi Patriarch accepted Sun Wukong as his apprentice, he knew that he would cause trouble in the future, and asked him not to mention that he was his master. Sun Wukong kept silent, so he shook his head when asked , silent.

Seeing him like this, and leading him further and further away, Jiang Yanchen was almost certain that the person they were looking for was Patriarch Bodhi.

Because of the constant thoughts on the road, he seemed to be particularly talkative.Sun Wukong turned his head to look at him several times, but he was hesitant to speak.

Knowing that the monstrous fire appeared in front of the two of them.

The fire rose from the ground, burned blazingly, and stretched for several miles, blocking all the roads leading to the opposite side. It was so overwhelming that it almost involved the sky.

Unlike ordinary flames, this flame is bright yellow.Jiang Yanchen was surprised because there was a fire here, and the temperature should have been very high, but he didn't feel the heat wave at all.

"Here..." He froze for a moment, and jumped off Monkey King's somersault cloud.

Somersaulting clouds drifted away from Sun Wukong's feet, and he stepped up to Jiang Yanchen's side and said, "This is not an ordinary flame."

"Well... I'm afraid, it's not the true fire of samadhi." Jiang Yanchen nodded and said, "I can't feel any heat."

"But ordinary people can't walk away." Sun Wukong raised his hand, and in his hand, a small chrysanthemum-colored flower appeared.Jiang Yanchen tilted his head and smiled slightly, "What is this?"

Monkey King raised his hand, and the flower floated towards the flame.The bright yellow flame felt the breath of life, as if giving birth to an arm, a few smaller flames surrounded it, and the part wrapped around the small yellow flower turned from yellow to a strange blue, and finally, the flower burst into flames Scatter into powder and gradually disappear.

Jiang Yanchen was a little surprised: "Swallow life?"

"En." Sun Wukong nodded, "To be precise, it is to absorb essence."

"Then after we pass by, aren't we going to turn into a pile of bones?" Jiang Yanchen was startled and smiled subconsciously.Thinking of two bones walking through the flames hand in hand, it seems to be very good.

Sun Wukong turned his head to look at him: "Are you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Yanchen took the initiative to take his hand and shook it, "Isn't it you?"

Sun Wukong tightened his hands, looked at the flames in front of him, and led Jiang Yanchen in.

When stepping in, Jiang Yanchen felt that he had stepped into the water.The moist, blue-purple flames rubbed against his cheeks, wrapped around his waist, and tirelessly absorbed the essence of his body.His eyes became more and more blurred, and he could only see the dense blue image sweeping towards him, only the strength in his hands firmly pulled him, step by step towards the front.

The sky is chaotic, and the ground is full of golden lotuses.

Playing the three vehicles in seconds, the subtlety and all dharmas are complete.

Slowly shake the tail of the stag and spray pearls and jade, and the thunder and thunder will move for nine days.

A loud rumbling sound surged from the bottom of their feet, and then slowly lifted them into the sky.Under their feet, a huge golden lotus was spinning in mid-air, slowly blooming.

Jiang Yanchen felt that all consciousness was withdrawn from him, and he was in a daze. The sandalwood slowly penetrated into his limbs, but his whole body was comfortable, like a cloud, floating gently in the air, as if The wind has since dispersed.

...No, how could it break up?He felt power from his right hand.

He won't go away.

The golden lotus blooms slowly, revealing the lotus heart. The lotus heart rises up bit by bit, straight to the sky, and the petals extend in all directions, almost containing all the things in the sky.Then, at one o'clock, Lianxin suddenly didn't move, and the petals wrinkled slightly, wrapping Lianxin in again.

A newly-opened golden lotus bud twirled lightly and fell into the ground again.

Everything is silent.

"Enlighten the word to convert to the truth, to guide the inanimate to the Xingxuan..."

Youyou's voice sounded deafening, and Jiang Yanchen opened his eyes instantly.

"Talk about the Tao for a while, talk about Zen for a while, and enjoy yourself."

Jiang Yanchen sat up suddenly, surrounded by chaos, squinting his eyes carefully, as if he could see the faint air current floating slowly.

Sun Wukong had already sat up, and when he saw him wake up, he stretched out his hand to hold him, and the two stood up together.

"Master." Sun Wukong shouted towards the void.

A few strands of white air flow flew past him, as if frightened, they darted around, but collided with other air currents, making a mess for a while.

"You monkey, you are still so stubborn!" Patriarch Bodhi's voice sounded, pretending to be annoyed, but he never showed up.

Jiang Yanchen raised his head and said, "Patriarch Bodhi, this junior has admired his name for a long time, so please show up and do me a favor."

In the void, the air trembled slightly, and Patriarch Bodhi's voice sounded with a smile: "You little monk is really interesting." The next moment, in the chaos, a figure slowly appeared, emerging from nothing. , from imaginary to real.

Jiang Yanchen took a closer look, but it was a boy with a bun.

The boy sat cross-legged in the air, and said: "I know you, but I didn't expect you to know me too." Although he has a childlike face, his voice is old enough, not childish at all.

"Your junior is honored..." Jiang Yanchen was startled.

"I know you are full of doubts." Patriarch Bodhi stood up slowly, and before he took a step, a golden lotus would appear under his feet, flashing by, "I also know that you will come to me eventually."

"Master." Sun Wukong called out respectfully.

Patriarch Bodhi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Wukong, I haven't seen you for so many years, why do you think you haven't improved at all?" The hoop came out, and with a "dang", the golden light was received.

Patriarch Bodhi gave a satisfied "En" when he saw it, and then said, "I know what you are talking about today."

"If you keep saying 'the way of heaven is restored, it has its own destiny', I'm afraid this junior will be ashamed." Jiang Yanchen interrupted hastily.

Patriarch Bodhi paused, raised his brows and eyes, and his expression was exactly the same as Sun Wukong's disdainful expression in the past, "I am that kind of person! Why do you ask Wukong, when did I say that? "

Sun Wukong shook his head, and Jiang Yanchen couldn't help laughing.

"Little monk, you read the scriptures, do you know the demon king Bo Xun?"

Jiang Yanchen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"When the Buddha first became enlightened, the demon king Bo Xun came to see the Buddha and advised the Tathagata to quickly enter Nirvana. He said: 'What the World Honored One has done has already proved that all dharmas have no birth, so you can quickly enter Nirvana.'

"The Buddha said to Bo Xun: 'My disciples have not yet achieved, I am not suitable for entering Nirvana'."

"Bo Xun said: 'Then when all the disciples of the World Honored One have achieved it, they should enter Nirvana'. The Buddha silently agreed."

"So the demon king Bo Xun rejoiced. Bo Xun said to Shizun again: 'World Honored One, after the World Honored One has passed away, in the Dharma-ending period, I will become a bhikkhu monk and become a monk in the Buddha's Dharma. And destroy the Dharma'."

Jiang Yanchen said slowly, "So the World Honored One wept."

Patriarch Bodhi laughed silently: "Buddha is farther than you and I think."

Jiang Yanchen and Monkey King were silent at the same time.

"It's like a lion biting a lion's flesh with a worm. He has expected this and today. If only the sons and grandsons of the Buddha fell, he wouldn't be like this...just..."

"The one who really fell is him." Jiang Yanchen paused every word.

"To become a Buddha, everything should be empty. Anything will decay after a long time, and the same goes for gods or Buddhas." Bodhi slowly crossed his legs, meditated, floating in mid-air, and sighed slightly, "The sage leaves here and goes to the nine heavens. You can't escape the fall, you can't escape the end."

"For the Tathagata, the most terrifying thing is not the death of the body, but the inability to preserve the Dharma, and his own heart has been shaken."

"Little monk, do you know why you appear? Do you also know why the Tathagata sees you as a thorn in the side? Why does the Tathagata keep separating you and Wukong?"

"I know." Jiang Yanchen looked up, "Because I am him."

Sun Wukong was dumb: "You..." In his story, he is clearly Tathagata's younger brother.

"I am the Tathagata, and the Tathagata is me. I am his body, coming from his body." Jiang Yanchen looked at him and explained bit by bit, "Our so-called 'father' is the past Buddha 'Lantern' After his death, because he expected such a future, he separated me from Shakyamuni Buddha. We came from the same source. If the Tathagata does not hold on to himself, I will be born..."

"Stop him." Sun Wukong said.

"...Yes." Jiang Yanchen lowered his eyes, "So he can't kill me, because I am him, and he is me. So he demoted me to the world, and in the ninth world, he used the hand of heaven to go astray Scattered my soul, but didn't want to fail, and I escaped to another world."

"And then there's the current story."

Patriarch Bodhi listened to his words quietly, pondered for a long time, and said, "But Ran Deng left you a method."

"It was taken away by Tathagata," Jiang Yanchen said.

Patriarch Bodhi took out the Buddha dust behind him, and lightly tapped him three times: "You are really stupid to say you are stupid. You only answered the first two questions, but forgot the last one?"

"Why do you and Wukong have to be separated several times?"

"Why did the aura of heaven and earth give birth to such a stone monkey?"

"Why do I want to accept him as a disciple?"

"Why does he always appear in every crisis?"

"Wukong is right, you, you idiot!"
