"Yuan Ji, who told you that you can live forever after eating Tang Monk's meat?"
Looking at the mysterious and excited little turtle dragon, Li Zhige's face trembled.
Li Zhige didn't know whether eating Tang Monk's meat would lead to immortality, but Li Zhige knew that monsters who wanted to eat Tang Monk's meat would be in bad luck.
Those monsters descended from the immortals and powerful mounts to catch Tang Seng were to help Tang Seng complete the disaster. However, those wild monsters with no background who dared to catch Tang Seng met with extremely miserable consequences. They were all killed by Sun Houhou's stick.
The little turtle dragon is a bit special.
You might say he is a wild monster, but he is also the son of the Dragon King of Jinghe River and the nephew of the Dragon King of the West Sea. But if you want to say that he is a monster with a background, it doesn't count. After all, his father, the Dragon King of Jinghe, was also tricked into going to the Dragon Slaying Platform, which kicked off the journey to the West to learn scriptures.
Journey to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures is a big pit!
Since the end of the canonization of gods, Buddhism has ushered in great prosperity, and this great prosperity was determined by heaven and by Taoist ancestor Hongjun.
If Buddhism is to prosper, Buddhism must be spread eastward, especially to Dongsheng Shenzhou where human races gather.
If the remaining Buddhist teachings are to be spread eastward, we cannot let the Buddha and Bodhisattva personally end it. That would be too unsatisfactory.
Even if Buddhism were to be spread eastward, the human race would have to go to Xitian Lingshan to seek the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures from the Buddha. Only in this way can the true character of Buddhism be reflected.
So Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of Buddha, was reincarnated and became a so-called sutra seeker.
Around this Buddhist scripture study and the great rise of Buddhism, various forces began to make arrangements early on.
Five hundred years ago, when a monkey jumped out of the Sky-Mending Stone in the Huaguo Mountain of Dongsheng Shenzhou, the layout of the various forces began.
Sun Houhou became a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi and learned magical powers, which allowed him to ascend to heaven and earth.
But who is Patriarch Bodhi?
Bodhi is a sacred tree of Buddhism, and Saint Zhunti, one of the two leaders of Buddhism, is the Bodhi tree, one of the innate spiritual roots.
Therefore, it is conceivable that Patriarch Bodhi’s identity is most likely the clone of Saint Chunti, just as Taishang Laojun is the clone of Saint Taiqing.
Monkey Sun studied under the Patriarch Bodhi for ten years, and then he achieved immortality and became a golden immortal with the same longevity as heaven and the same king as earth.
Therefore, monkey monkey dares to call himself the Monkey King.
But ordinary monks would be embarrassed to become immortals without practicing for thousands of years or eight hundred years and experiencing numerous tribulations. Even if he became an immortal, he would still be an earthly immortal, let alone an immortal golden immortal.
As for the monkey grandson, even if he cultivated to become a golden immortal in ten years, he also went to the Palace of Hell to check out the name of the monkey grandson in the book of life and death, went to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea to get the Dinghai needle used by Dayu to control floods, and went to the Flat Peach Garden to eat countless flat peaches. He entered Tushita Palace and stole countless elixirs from Taishang Laojun. In the end, he made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and almost overturned the Lingxiao Palace.
Are these things something a golden immortal can do?
Is it possible for even a golden immortal to break into the Palace of Hell?
Can even a golden immortal get the Dinghai Shenzhen?
The Golden Immortal can steal the Golden elixir from the Supreme Lord, dare to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and trample on the majesty of the Jade Emperor?
Not to mention the Jinxian, Da Luo Jinxian would not have the guts to do the above.
But Sun Houhou has such courage. After all, he has only studied under the Bodhi Patriarch for ten years. He does not understand all the forces and is an ignorant and fearless person.
Later, Monkey Sun was suppressed by the Tathagata for five hundred years, exposed to wind and sun every day, and poured copper liquid and molten iron into his body, and finally his mind became clearer.
As soon as Avalokitesvara arrived at Five Elements Mountain, Sun Houhou immediately agreed to escort Tang Monk to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. He converted to Buddhism and did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Guanyin. You must know that Monkey Sun, who was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, was not even looked down upon by the Jade Emperor and Tathagata Buddha.
Five hundred years of suppression, five hundred years of exposure to wind and sun, and five hundred years of molten copper and molten iron have allowed Monkey Sun to recognize himself and tamed the wild nature in Monkey Sun, so Monkey Sun converted without much thought. After entering Buddhism, he became the disciple of Monk Tang and the disciple of Tathagata Buddha.
But after all, Sun Monkey was born from the Sky-Building Stone. He was born with miraculous powers. He was a spiritually luminous stone monkey with extraordinary heels. Therefore, he received careful instruction from Ancestor Bodhi, got the Dinghai Divine Needle from Dayu to control floods, and ate the Queen Mother’s flat peach. After learning Laojun's elixir, he finally became the fighting Buddha of Buddhism.
Let’s look at Zhu Bajie again. Zhu Bajie’s predecessor was Marshal Tianpeng, a disciple of Master Xuandu, and a third-generation disciple of the Human Sect.
Even Sha Seng was the general who rolled up the curtain for the Jade Emperor.
Bai Longma is the third prince of Xihai Dragon Palace, the third cousin of Little Turtle Dragon, and a leader among the younger generation of the dragon clan.
Tang Monk, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, White Dragon Horse, which one of these people does not have a great background?
There are ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties on the way to seek scriptures. To put it mildly, it is a disaster, but to put it bluntly, it is just a play for the world to see.
You see, Monk Tang encountered many difficulties and dangers along the way to seek scriptures, and there were so many demons, ghosts, monsters, and monsters blocking his way. However, Monk Tang, his master and his disciples, the Westerners, were not afraid of hardships and dangers, and walked firmly with reverence for the Buddha and the Dharma. He went to Xitianling Mountain to seek Mahayana Buddhist scriptures for the suffering people.
What will the world think after hearing about Tang Monk’s process of obtaining scriptures?
The Mahayana Buddhist scriptures were spread to the Eastern Tang Dynasty. After listening to the process of Tang Monk's Buddhist scriptures, would the people become more devout in studying the so-called Mahayana Buddhist scriptures?
Journey to the West for Buddhist scriptures is a big show, a big show performed for the world to see, and the gods and Buddhas are the directors of this big show, Tang Monk and his disciples are the leading actors in this big show, and the monsters on the way to search for Buddhist scriptures are either supporting roles. , or a sidekick.
There are quite a few monsters in the supporting roles, all of whom came down to earth on the mounts of gods and Buddhas. When the filming was finished, they were first brought back to their masters.
But the wild monsters are just secondary characters. When the film is completed, it will be completed, and the soul will be scattered.
Tang Seng is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, and Jin Chanzi himself is at most a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Can Tang Monk who has eaten the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi become immortal and become a Golden Immortal?
Li Zhige didn't know whether eating Tang Monk's meat could lead to immortality, and Li Zhige wasn't curious about it either. Li Zhige only knew that if he dared to think about eating Tang Monk's meat, he would definitely not end well.
The little turtle wants to eat Tang Monk's meat, which proves that the little turtle has become a supporting actor in the great drama of Journey to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.
Now Tang Seng has arrived.
Li Zhige could not and did not dare to stop the little turtle from catching Tang Monk. Once he stopped the little turtle, it would hinder the great prosperity of Buddhism. He, Li Zhige, could not afford to offend the behemoth of Buddhism.
Li Zhige didn't want to provoke Buddhism, let alone get into trouble. After all, he, Li Zhige, was almost like an ant in front of Buddhism, the kind that could be trampled to death with one foot.
No, we have to leave the Heishui River as soon as possible. We must not be involved in the catastrophe of traveling westward to obtain Buddhist scriptures!
Seeing the excited little turtle with a face full of excitement, Li Zhige no longer wanted to ask him for any training techniques. He just wanted to get away from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Faced with Li Zhige's question, the little turtle was stunned for a moment, and then replied doubtfully, "Ancestor, are those monsters saying this? Tang Monk is a good man who has practiced cultivation for ten generations. If you eat his meat, you can live forever." Not old."
"Ancestor, no matter whether Tang Monk's meat can lead to immortality or not, don't you know it if you catch Tang Monk and eat it?"
"Tang Monk has arrived at the river. Ancestor, please wait for the good news about Yuan Ji!"
After saying that, Yuan Ji shook his silver cloak and walked out of the water hole carrying a twelve-section steel whip.
Looking at Yuan Ji's leaving figure, Li Zhige's eyes flickered, he stood up and walked out of the water hole, preparing to leave the black water river.
