Journey to the West: The Ninth Life

"The body is born from the absence of form, as if the images are illusory. The illusory human consciousness is originally non-existent, and the sins and blessings are empty and have no place to live."

The Tathagata stood high above, with a solemn and resonant voice, and a benevolent and far-sighted gaze, looking at the group of believers below who opened the altar to teach the Dharma.

Among the believers, there are many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but all of them are respectful and convinced.

Kneeling on the futon and bowing in salute, they shouted out my Buddha's mercy in unison.

Tathagata nodded slightly.

Just as he was about to wave for everyone to get up, his hand just went up.

next second.

Tathagata's expression changed drastically, and he staggered suddenly in front of tens of thousands of believers.

"Buddha, what's wrong with you?"

The little boy who was waiting on him habitually took a step forward and wanted to support Tathagata, but was stopped by Tathagata's eyes.

His expression remained the same, but his eyes were gloomy and outrageous.

Tathagata took a deep breath, already furious in his heart.

He was backlashed.

He was backlashed by the power of the gods and Buddhas that he personally blessed on the six-eared macaque.

Sun Wukong.

The name came to mind, Tathagata narrowed his eyes, turned around and waved to the believers below to indicate that he was fine.

He was about to continue teaching the Fa, but in his heart he felt a murderous intent towards Monkey King.

He has been aloof for millions of years, and he has never shown such a situation in front of his followers.

Take a deep breath.

Poker face.

Those eyes became more and more frightening.

"Lecture on Buddha continues."

Tathagata sat cross-legged on the lotus futon, and was about to speak to continue, the next second.

"puff--"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the white robes in front of him and the floor in front of the futon red.

shocking.

Everyone present was shocked.

Almost all of them got up and went forward to see what was wrong with the Buddha.

Tathagata stood up with a gloomy face.

With his back to everyone, he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Only the little drops of blood on his body were extremely clear.

"This is the end of today's lecture."

"This seat is fine, you don't need to worry too much."

After all, he never looked at anyone, and left here without looking back.

inner room.

bang-

Tathagata shattered the entire table in front of him with one palm.

There was a compassionate face in front of outsiders, but at this moment, the facial features were distorted and a little frightening.

"Sun Wukong."

"Sun Wukong!"

Tathagata sneered, with awe-inspiring killing intent.

"Sun Wukong is really...really good..."

He suffered such a serious backlash, and he didn't need to guess to know that the power of the gods and Buddhas on the six-eared macaque had been completely beheaded by Monkey King.

This is equivalent to Monkey King beheading one of his clones.

Unprepared, the Tathagata made such a big scandal in front of all believers.

No one saw it.

At this moment, the Tathagata Buddha is no longer the Lord of the Western Heaven who is aloof in the eyes of others.

It was a man with a terrifying face and terrifying eyes.

Lift your head and close your eyes.

Listening to the bell chanting outside, when he opened his eyes again, his usual calm had returned.

Facing the empty inner room, Tathagata spoke slowly.

"Where is Guanyin?"

"Summon Guanyin Bodhisattva to come and see me."

No one answered, and no sound came out.

But not long after, almost a few breaths, I heard the sound of Guanyin flying into the inner room.

Bow down and salute.

Guanyin's eyes were a little nervous, but she gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to speak.

"See Buddha."

"I don't know why the Buddha summoned me—"

It's not over yet.

Tathagata suddenly turned around and stared closely at Guanyin's face.

"Shouldn't the Bodhisattva report the outcome of the bet to me immediately?"

"What...you asked me why I asked you to come here, huh?"

Guanyin lowered her head even lower.

The hands under the large robe were tightly clenched together, hesitating for a moment, and his voice was dry.

"gambling…"

"The bet is... yes... Sun Wukong won..."

"waste!"

Tathagata's eyes were sharp, and his voice suddenly increased, almost making Guanyin tremble all over in fright.

Squinted.

Tathagata slowed down his voice, and asked her word by word: "You are telling me to listen."

"How did you lose the foolproof game?"

Guanyin hesitated.

After a long while, he opened his mouth slowly.

"Sun Wukong defeated the six-eared macaque, and he was seriously injured, almost dying."

Almost dying.

Tathagata's eyes became colder and colder.

Looking at Guanyin, he became more and more disappointed.

For a person who can't even deal with the dying Monkey King, what use is there for him?

"The Buddha's plan is indeed foolproof."

"The golden cicada did believe what the six-eared macaque said, and left with him..."

"Then why does the Bodhisattva come to tell me now that we lost the bet?"

Guanyin hesitated for a while.

After all, it was she who had a demon in her heart, and she thought that Monkey King had no chance of making a comeback, so she summoned a group of big monsters to humiliate him.

But it never occurred to him that Sun Wukong had reached the end of his strength, and he could still stand upright and hit everyone directly with a stick, and all of them dared not take a step forward.

Monkey King will always be Monkey King.

It will always be Monkey King.

Avalokitesvara would never admit that at that moment, when Monkey King was drenched in blood, she met Monkey King's black and golden eyes without any emotion.

There is also fear in my heart.

It seems that the man in front of him.

No matter how hurt it is.

As long as there is breath left.

He is always invincible.

"What is the Buddha thinking?"

Tathagata has deep eyes, as if he can see people to the end, staring deeply at Guanyin Bodhisattva.

He lowered his head in fear.

Guanyin's voice was dry, and she quickly cleared up her emotions, and replied in a deep voice: "My Buddha is merciful, I just... I was just thinking... how can I solve Monkey King..."

"Go on and then."

"Then…"

"Just when I was about to end the game and send Monkey King to the Infernal Purgatory, Jin Chanzi rushed over."

"He said he knew the Great Sage."

"He said he knew... who was the six-eared macaque... who was the Monkey King."

"Ridiculous!"

The Tathagata smiled angrily, "The six-eared macaque is exactly the same as Sun Wukong no matter where, if it weren't for the power of the gods and Buddhas blessed by me, even I wouldn't be able to tell the difference."

"Jin Chanzi is just a mortal like an ant now, how can he recognize it?"

"Why!"

Avalokitesvara silently stood there with her head down, listening to the Tathagata getting angry.

Not a word.

In fact, even she didn't know how things had suddenly found such a reversal.

She didn't know how Jin Chanzi recognized Monkey King at the last moment.

She didn't even know that she was in the last moment.

When he knew Sun Wukong was seriously injured and almost dying, he met those hard and indifferent eyes.

Why didn't you make a move.

Instead, he watched Monkey King leave with Tang Xuanzang.

Perhaps in her heart from beginning to end, she was afraid of Monkey King.

Even in that situation, she still didn't have the slightest confidence in being able to defeat her.

Avalokitesvara was so upset that she had no choice but to use this reason to comfort herself.

"I actually lost."

Tathagata took a few deep breaths before calming down, squinting his eyes and asking in a cold voice, "What about the six-eared macaque, did he come back with you?"

Guanyin shook his head.

There was a little disdain unconsciously in his eyes.

"I'm afraid he knew his plan had failed and had no face to come back to see you, so he ran away on his own."

Tathagata nodded, his eyes were cold.

Guanyin hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and asked the question that was in his heart.

"Buddha, I don't know what to do next...how to deal with Sun Wukong..."

dispose of?

Tathagata glanced at Guanyin lightly.

"This seat is the Lord of Bliss in the Western Paradise. Since we started the game, we can naturally afford to lose."

"Since Monkey King has won, then follow the original agreement of the bet."

Guanyin couldn't believe it for a moment.

When he looked at Tathagata Buddha again, he was already sitting cross-legged on the lotus.

The flash of cold killing intent made Guanyin instantly understand.

The so-called let go.

Where is it so easy?

----

----

The sun shone on the face, and when I closed my eyes, I felt that the eyelids were all warm pink.

And the golden wind.

It was supposed to be a bit dry weather, but because of the stream beside it, it brought a burst of moist air just right.

Leaves fell on the grass.

When the palm is pressed, it will make a crisp and pleasant sound.

Monkey King is lying on the grass with his eyes closed.

For a long time.

Some did not want to get up.

His injury was serious.

It doesn't just look scary on the surface, but it hurts the internal organs, and even breathing involves general pain.

Careful footsteps.

For fear of disturbing him.

However, since the moment he stepped into the grass, Sun Wukong's ears trembled slightly, and he had already noticed the sound.

Herbal smell.

Listening to Suo Suo's movements, Sun Wukong sighed in his heart, and finally opened his eyes slowly.

What came into view was a pair of bloodshot, worried and tired eyes.

Tang Xuanzang wanted to help Monkey King stop bleeding.

"Sit down, I don't need these for now."

Sun Wukong spoke lightly.

If you don't look at the mottled blood on his body, I'm afraid no one will know his physical condition at this moment.

Tang Xuanzang pursed his lips, and after a while, he still put down the herbal gauze in his hand.

Why didn't he know that these mortal healing things have no effect on Sun Wukong at all.

But the kind, seeing him seriously injured.

Seeing him crumbling, almost dying, but powerless.

Tang Xuanzang only felt a dull pain in his heart, a pain like suffocation.

With a hoarse voice, he wanted to touch the wound on Sun Wukong's chest.

But it stopped when it was less than a finger away from the wound.

"My lord, does it hurt? I didn't know you were injured so badly, I didn't know you would be hurt...I thought...I wanted to do something for you...I...I don't know what I can do..."

Incoherent.

Tang Xuanzang originally had a lot of things brewing in his heart that he wanted to say to Monkey King, but when he met those eyes.

As if something was blocked, he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"How did you recognize me?"

Suddenly such a sentence.

Sun Wukong changed his posture and faced Tang Xuanzang, but his expression was in pain for a moment because he touched the wound.

But he remained motionless, looking into Tang Xuanzang's eyes very seriously.

How did you recognize me, he asked him.

Sun Wukong knew it clearly.

Although he sneered at the six-eared macaque, he had to admit that he was the person most similar to him in the world.

When he was besieged by demons, when he was covered in blood.

I never expected Tang Xuanzang to come back.

The only thing I regret in my heart is that I didn't take a good look at him.

Even if you scold him for being stupid.

That's good too.

Never thought of it.

At the last moment when the sun was setting, the stupid monk who had always been stupid and dull in his mouth came back panting and sweating profusely.

He stood in front of him, facing the light, and looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva without avoiding it.

He said he recognized himself.

It is difficult to describe the feeling of Monkey King at that moment.

want to laugh.

There was a sudden sense of loss of strength all over his body.

this fool.

He actually recognized himself.

The two of them didn't speak or look at each other along the way.

In other words, Tang Xuanzang pursed his lips and gritted his teeth all the way, without saying a word.

All the way back to the thatched cottage.

No trace of the six-eared macaque was seen either.

Sun Wukong became more and more curious.

But also want to laugh badly.

He clearly recognized himself and won the bet, so why did this monk seem so angry that he didn't say a word to him.

Pulled Tang Xuanzang's face.

Sun Wukong himself was injured, so he hissed lightly, before he could speak, his hand was grabbed by Tang Xuanzang.

With a wrinkled face, he looked a little sullen.

Fixed Sun Wukong's hand so that he would not move.

Monkey King is laughing.

It was rare that after listening to Tang Xuanzang's words, he didn't continue to move around.

"I don't move, you tell me how you recognized me, huh?"

Tang Xuanzang became more and more angry.

Stare at him with red eyes.

"I won't tell you!"
