The Monkey King: Chapter 759 :cause and effect
"How is it? Would you like to wear it?" Zhengfa Ming Tathagata asked softly.
"Can I refuse?" The six-eared macaque asked rhetorically.
Hearing the words, Zhengfa Ming Tathagata couldn't help but smiled lightly, and said, "After wearing it, you will become the real Monkey King. Really, you have the power that belongs to you, and you will not be left behind."
"But, what do you not do?"
"refers to what the Buddha cannot do, all."
"all?"
"Yes. In Buddhism, the four elements are all empty, except for the Buddha Dharma. The poor monk has already said that after wearing it, you will be able to defeat the Buddha. No, you will be." You can also pursue your identity. That is to say, the war between you and him will not end because of this. Instead, it has just begun."
The six-eared macaque grinned and said, "So, after wearing it, I will become a dog of Buddhism, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere immediately froze.
In the sky, both sides of the conversation looked at each other blankly.
Time passed bit by bit, and the demon generals all around held their breath and watched silently. Even King Jizo, who appeared as the protagonist of the negotiation at the beginning, was silent at this time. That expression seemed to be disapproving of the conditions offered by the Tathagata Zhengfa Ming Tathagata.
Slowly, the six-eared macaque's eyes narrowed into slits, sizing up the Tathagata of Faming. There was doubt in his eyes.
Just when he was about to say something, Zhengfa Ming Tathagata suddenly opened his mouth and said softly, "This condition will always be valid, you don't have to agree immediately."
said, he had already put away the golden hoop in his hand, turned around and flew towards the west.
King Jizo hesitated for a moment and followed.
The two just left without even the usual polite goodbye. The six-eared macaque just looked at them silently, watching their figures in the distance, his eyes flashing constantly, as if he was thinking about something.
Everyone was silent.
After a long time, the goat spirit said in a low voice, "Master, you...don't agree."
"why?"
"Buddhism is not a good thing. Listening to them, you will definitely suffer."
"Oh?" The six-eared macaque looked at the goat spirit with a half-smile.
Seeing this, the goat spirit hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
After a while, the six-eared macaque sighed leisurely: "I suddenly feel that things are not as bad as I thought. The old man in the Xieyue Sanxingdong is just a grass, and suddenly there is an old gentleman standing opposite. Just put it away. Hehe, it seems that there is nothing behind me, at least there is a Buddhist school."
After being silent for a while, the six-eared macaque looked at the goat spirit and sneered, and then said: "You are right, Buddhism is not a good thing, is Lao Jun a good thing? To put it bluntly, it's not a good thing for the mother, can you? You can only rely on yourself! Let’s go, you have to think about this matter. There is really no way out, so it might be a solution.”
"No." All the demon generals present bowed to their hands.
…
At this moment, Ksitigarbha, who was thousands of miles away from the six-eared macaque, suddenly hovered.
Zhengfa Ming Tathagata flew a distance of five meters, and also hovered his body and slowly turned his head, looking towards the King of Earth Store: "Why don't you leave?"
King Ksitigarbha smiled helplessly and asked: "The poor monk didn't finish his words just now, why did the Venerable rush to speak?"
Zhengfa Ming Tathagata sighed lightly, and said a little desolately: "Isn't what the poor monk said exactly what Venerable Ksitigarbha wanted to say?"
"The poor monk originally just wanted to restrain the six-eared macaque. After all, this is an extraordinary period. If one is not careful, he will follow Laojun's will and let him regain control of the way of heaven. Laojun's 'the way of heaven' There is no westward travel in the trajectory. Once he is allowed to reclaim the 'Tao of Heaven', the westward travel will definitely end without a hitch. In this way, the confusion of the centuries of Buddhism will no longer be solved. Wouldn't it be a pity to walk all the way?"
Zhengfa Ming Tathagata smiled helplessly and said, "Just restraining it will suffice?"
King Jizo did not answer.
After a long time, the Tathagata Zhengfa Ming sighed: "Sun Wukong's nature is stubborn and difficult to surrender, and so is the six-eared macaque. In the end, the two monkeys have the same root. Just relying on verbal arguments can be said to be unconstrained. This point is clear to you and me. If this is not the case, Laojun doesn't need to spend a lot of time. To restrain the six-eared macaque, we must start from the root."
"The poor monk with a golden hoop can understand it, but what about the body? How did His Holiness make the six-eared macaque have the same body as Sun Wukong?"
"Blood." Zhengfa Ming Tathagata opened his sleeves and showed his wrist to Ksitigarbha.
King Jizo was stunned.
"If the poor monk remembers correctly, Venerable Ksitigarbha used his own blood to open the seal of the six-eared macaque. If the poor monk comes, it should not be a big problem for him to have the same body as Sun Wukong."
"That would be a lot."
"half."
"I have to... catch up, two-thirds, or even more cultivation."
"Cultivation is gone, and you can do it again." Zhengfa Ming Tathagata clasped his hands together and said, "If you can't see the result of your westward journey, that's a real regret."
After hesitating for a long time, King Ksitigarbha finally nodded slightly, put his hands together and said, "His righteousness."
…
After a battle, in the last section of this westward journey, the situation of all parties has gradually become clear. However, the conflict not only did not intensify immediately, but quickly returned to calm. Even, calmer than ever. Like the eve of a storm.
Probably because Laojun’s sudden appearance has added new variables to the originally hopeless westbound preaching.
Although the Three Realms have already been undercurrents, and just a little friction can detonate everything, all parties still chose to dormant at this time.
Monkey did not immediately leave Xuanzang and Laojun to stand on the same line, but chose to continue westward while keeping an eye on the movements of all parties.
Sanqing Gaozui Palace, on the one hand, throws an olive branch to the monkey, on the other hand, he does not move, seems to be waiting for the further development of things, looking for the best time to cut in.
Subhuti, who was already in a deadlock, put on a retreating posture and retreated to Xieyue Sanxingdong. However, once things changed, probably no one believed that he would not take action.
The power of Buddhism is unexpectedly chosen to shrink to Lingshan Mountain, and there is almost no new action for westward travel.
However, if you think about it, it is understandable.
"No-self" relies on epiphany, "Wuji" relies on force, and "Wuwei" relies on cause and effect. Compared with the former two, "wuwei" is more illusory and elusive. After all, no one dares to say that they will definitely gain the upper hand in this game until they have figured out Laojun's routine, even the Tathagata who is the only one in the Three Realms who has cultivated the Tao of Heaven.
The rotten boat still has three pounds of nails, and the dead camel is still bigger than a horse. Unlike the sudden arrival of monkeys eight hundred years ago, Lao Jun was forced to fight. Since Lao Jun dares to expose himself, it means that he has a certain degree of certainty. A rash shot, a careless one, may become a stepping stone on the road of Laojun regaining control of the sky.
This principle, as long as a little thought, anyone can understand.
However, just when all the parties were standing still, one party fell into a state of disintegration, that is, the Lion and Camel Kingdom. (To be continued~^~)
