General Feng stepped forward to help Bajie up and asked, "The return of the marshal is a great blessing for my Tianhe Water Military Department, but it's a pity that Lao Ling and Lao Yao are not here, otherwise the four of us will definitely get drunk with the marshal today!"

Bajie looked at everyone and said, "Xiao Feng, I haven't had time to ask you, I have 100,000 Tianhe water army, but now Xiao Ling and Xiao Yao are not here, as far as I know, there has been no war in Heavenly Court recently, why are my 60,000 elites of Tianhe not guarding Tianhe, is there something wrong." ”

"This. General Feng hesitated, not knowing how to speak.

"Just say something, I haven't returned for more than 500 years, and I always want to know what happened to my Tianhe Department now. Bajie looked at General Feng's way of wanting to speak and stopped, and he already knew that something must have happened.

"Marshal, if all the members of the court are in a state of combat readiness today, His Majesty issued an edict a few days ago, ordering Lao Ling and Lao Yao to lead 60,000 elites of Tianhe to the Heavenly Court School to prepare for battle. General Feng hugged his fists.

"Prepare for war, who does Your Majesty want to wage war against?" Bajie heard this, his heart sank, and he already knew something about it in his heart.

"Yes, it's preparing for war against the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain!" General Feng hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth.

"Marshal, don't worry, I have told Lao Ling and Lao Yao that if they really go to war, let them bypass the Marshal Nether Fuling Mountain Yunzhan Cave. The marshal is now a member of the Buddhist sect, even if the marshal does not come today, if the war will start, I will not be able to commit any crimes. ”

"War against Lingshan? Isn't it because of the four of my masters and apprentices?" Bajie said in a deep voice.

"My subordinates don't know this. General Feng bent down and pleaded guilty to Bajie. "We don't know why Your Majesty wants to start a war against the Western Heavens, but this edict was issued by Lao Jun to all the departments and divisions of the Heavenly Court through the Heavenly Court's Herald Department. Xitian Lingshan has not made any moves so far, but the last general guesses that if there is any change in Xitian in the near future, the battle situation may begin. ”

Hearing this, Bajie's face was gloomy. Now he spans the two worlds of immortals and Buddhas, and both hold important positions. Once the battle situation starts, on the one hand, there are brothers who were born and died, and on the other hand, there are masters and apprentices who have gone through hardships and gone through 108,000 miles, how to choose?

"Xiao Feng, you have to find a way to inform Lao Ling and let him stay still, now I have official positions in both the Immortal and Buddha realms, if there is a war, I can only be in a dilemma. I can't accompany you brothers today, I want to rush to Huaguo Mountain and Dongtu Datang, and unite my senior brother and master as much as possible to avoid this war!"

"The last general commands!" General Feng clenched his fists, and then immediately began to arrange the follow-up.

"Also, you have to take care of the Tianhe here, no matter what the result is, the weak water of the Tianhe River must not have an accident!" Bajie was originally driving the clouds, but suddenly thought of the weak water of the Tianhe, and said to the general of the wind.

"Marshal, rest assured, we will not let Tianhe make any mistakes!"

Bajie drove the clouds and left Tianhe, and did not go to the Heavenly Court Lingxiao Hall to meet the Jade Emperor. He knew very well in his heart that if he went to visit, the Jade Emperor would definitely question himself, if the Immortal Buddha went to war, which side would he choose.

For the sake of today's plan, only by going to Huaguo Mountain to meet Brother Monkey first, and then going to Datang to tell the master about the matter, and the master will come forward to mediate, only if the master has no pressure when facing the Jade Emperor, can this war be avoided.

Thinking of this, Bajie immediately sped up his speed and rushed to the Nether Huaguo Mountain.

Huaguo Mountain, originally the birthplace of the Monkey King, as Wukong followed Xuanzang to learn the scriptures, Huaguo Mountain became a place where all demons gathered, although the strength of each demon is much higher than the monkeys on Huaguo Mountain, but no one dares to occupy this place.

All the demons know the prestige of the Great Sage, stealing peaches, stealing the elixir of Laojun, and then making trouble in the Heavenly Palace.

On the way to learn the scriptures, the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties are all set up by the heavenly court and the western heaven, and some heavenly beasts are demons in the lower realm, and the mountains are kings. Some of the other weaker demons were either killed or expelled. In the end, I could only go to Huaguo Mountain for refuge.

With the completion of Wukong Baoxuanzang's merits and merits, he was defeated by the Buddha in the West Heaven, and Huaguo Mountain became a holy place. And after the return of the great sage, he did not expel the demons who came to take refuge.

On the contrary, the Great Sage gathered all the demons and made it clear that although my grandson is now a Buddha, my grandson is also from the demon clan, as long as you don't cause harm to people in Huaguo Mountain, you can become a part of Huaguo Mountain.

Today's Huaguo Mountain is very prosperous. Five hundred years ago, the Great Sage hooked the Monkey Clan's Book of Life and Death in the underworld, and the monkey monkey grandson jumped out of the jurisdiction of the underworld and obtained an infinite lifespan close to immortality.

On the top of Huaguo Mountain, there are two big flags, one big flag has the four characters "Monkey King" written on it, the iron pen and silver hook, the dragon and the phoenix dance, and the other big flag has the four words "Fighting to Defeat the Buddha", the golden light is bright, very dazzling.

Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave is now the place where the Great Sage retreats, although the Great Sage allows the demons to live in Huaguo Mountain, but the Water Curtain Cave is free to enter and exit except for the monkeys and monkeys of the Great Sage, and the other demons are restricted. The demons have no objection to this, and the great sage, as a member of Buddhism, did not kill them, but took them in, which is already very tolerant.

In the water curtain cave, the great sage is dressed in a Buddhist robe and sits on a stone chair. On the stone platform in front of you, there are all kinds of melons and fruits. Today, the Great Sage dismissed the monkeys and sat alone in the Water Curtain Cave, it was rare for the Great Sage to be so quiet as today, closing his eyes and recuperating, not knowing what he was thinking.

Outside Huaguo Mountain, Bajie looked at the two big flags fluttering in the wind on Huaguo Mountain, and smiled, it turned out that Brother Monkey didn't do the thing of building a temple to worship, just these two big flags, I don't know how many demon clans can gather to rush to this.

Bajie stepped into Huaguo Mountain, and just a few steps later, two monkeys jumped down from the tree. With a spear in his hand, he stopped Bajie and asked, "Who are you monks? What are you doing in my Huaguo Mountain? Why don't you leave quickly!"

Looking at the two monkeys blocking the road, Bajie smiled bitterly, folded his hands, and said, "Amitabha, the poor monk and the messenger of the pure altar, Zhu Bajie, came today to visit the Dousheng Buddha, and the two of them went in to report it." ，”

The two monkeys glanced at each other and said, "What is the messenger of the Pure Altar, I don't know, monk, you leave quickly, the great sage grandfather is in retreat, and there are no guests." ”

Bajie sighed and said, "When I learned the scriptures, my old pig came to Huaguo Mountain to invite me Brother Monkey, don't you know me? ”

"Wait a minute, I'll go through it. If Grandpa the Great Sage doesn't see you, you have to leave quickly!" a slightly smaller monkey said after hesitating for a moment when he heard Bajie say that he had been to Huaguo Mountain before.

Then he turned around and climbed the tree and headed towards the interior of Huaguo Mountain.

In the Water Curtain Cave, the Great Sage heard the little monkey's report and smiled, "Hehe, what kind of Pure Altar Messenger, my grandson has never heard of it, children, listen to my grandson's order, drive the stinky pig at the foot of the mountain out of Huaguo Mountain!"

At the foot of the mountain, Bajie sat on the ground and waited. After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of rustling from the trees. I saw that the little monkey who had just gone to report came with a bunch of monkeys, and each monkey had either a spear or an iron sword in his hand.

After the little monkey landed, he pointed to Bajie and said, "It's him, he is the messenger of the Pure Altar that the Great Sage Grandpa said, and the Great Sage has an order to drive this person out of the Huaguo Mountain range!"

The monkeys immediately surrounded him, chattering and waving the weapons in his hands to surround him, Bajie saw this formation and immediately got up on the ground, while dodging the monkeys' swings at him, he shouted loudly at Huaguo Mountain.

"Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, it's my old pig, my old pig has come to see you!"

In the middle of Huaguo Mountain, the figure of the Great Sage flashed, and he laughed, "Children, don't fight, tie up that stinky pig and carry it to the water curtain cave for me, let's eat roast suckling pig today!"

The monkeys immediately pressed Bajie to the ground with their hands and feet, and then one of the monkeys took out a rope and tied up Bajie. Bajie is not not not resisting, but not being able to resist, but the monkey monkey grandson of the Great Sage, in case one is injured, I am afraid that Huaguoshan will really eat roast pig today.

Bajie was pushed by the monkeys and walked towards the Water Curtain Cave.

In the water curtain cave, the great sage sat on the stone chair, looked at Bajie, who was tied up by the monkeys and monkey grandchildren, and waved his big hand, "Children, you stand down first." ”

The monkeys pushed Bajie to the ground, and then exited the water curtain cave one after another. In the cave, there are only two people left, the Great Sage and Bajie.

Bajie sat on the ground, struggled hard, the rope on his body broke, and said dissatisfiedly, "Brother Monkey, you are too uninteresting, my old pig finally came once, you were polite last time you came, but this time you went too far, you actually let your monkey monkey grandson tie my old pig in, and threaten to eat roast pig." ”

On the stone chair, the Great Sage Pan sat on the stone chair, picked up an apple in front of him and threw it to Bajie, and said, "You idiot, don't you stay in your Gao Lao Zhuang Yunzhan Cave to accept the offering, what are you doing in my old grandson Huaguo Mountain?"

Bajie took the apple, took a bite, and said vaguely, "You think my old pig wants to come, I was almost killed by you when I came last time, if I didn't have something to look for you, my old pig would rather go to the quicksand river to find the wood of Lao Sha than come to you." ”

"Hehe, I heard that you idiot has returned to your river department that day, what, you really want to be the generalissimo of the navy Tianpeng. The Great Sage asked.

"Go back, there's my brother over there. Moreover, only I can suppress the weak water of Tianhe, and there is a big gap between me and non-self on the other side of Tianhe. "Eight precepts.

The Great Sage turned over and sat firmly on the stone chair. "Say, what do you want me to ask for in Huaguo Mountain today?"

Bajie straightened out the crumpled robe and clothes on his body, and said, "Brother Monkey, I got the news that the Jade Emperor wants to start a war with the Western Heavens!

"Oh, the Jade Emperor wants to go to war, then let's fight, what's the matter with my grandson?"

"Brother Monkey," Bajie got up on the ground and said hurriedly, "If Heavenly Court and the Western Heaven go to war, and I Lao Zhu and you are both suspended in the two realms of Immortals and Buddhas, and we are standing there at that time? And if the war breaks out, it is the people of the world who suffer! You and I are both Buddhists, can you bear to see the people of the world suffering?"

"Hehe, if there is really a war, my grandson Huaguoshan will be independent, if anyone dares to bully me Huaguoshan, then my grandson doesn't mind making trouble in the Heavenly Palace or making trouble in Lingshan!"

"Alas, Brother Monkey, do you think that if there is a real war, do you think that Huaguo Mountain can really be left alone? Even if you can keep Huaguo Mountain, can you protect the entire demon clan?" Bajie looked at the Great Sage and said seriously.

The Great Sage crossed Erlang's legs, stared at Bajie and said, "What's the matter, you idiot threatens my grandson with the demon clan?"

Bajie shook his head, "No, Brother Monkey and I have never threatened you. On the way to learn the scriptures, Brother Monkey, you always rush to the front to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and my old pig knows that I can't work hard, and I always drag you back. If you really don't want to come forward, Brother Monkey, then treat me as an old pig who has never been here, and if we meet on the battlefield in the future, please show mercy to your subordinates, Brother Monkey!"

After Bajie finished speaking, he turned around to leave.

"Stop" the voice of the Great Sage came from behind Bajie, "Why, listen to what you mean, you idiot want to do something with my old grandson? My old grandson knows that your heart is now towards heaven, but you are afraid of Master and my old grandson, I know that if you are a nerd who walks out of the water curtain cave alone today, the brotherhood between us will come to an end." ”

Bajie turned around, hurriedly waved his hand, and said, "Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, I don't mean this old pig, back then, my old pig was demoted to the lower realm, and Guanyin Bodhisattva instructed Master Bao to learn scriptures, on the way to learn scriptures, Brother Monkey, you have been standing up for my old pig and Lao Sha, and my old pig knows that there are brothers in the Tianhe Department." But you and Lao Sha are also my old pig's brothers!"

"If there is really a war, my old pig can only choose to stand on the side of Heaven. Not only does my old pig have brothers on the other side of Tianhe, but also my old pig's commitment to the weak water of Tianhe. I'm sorry, Brother Monkey, I just said it to the old pig. ”

The figure of the Great Sage flashed and stood in front of Bajie. The hand gently patted Bajie's shoulder. "You idiot has finally opened his mind, my grandson doesn't want to meddle in this matter, because my grandson has something to protect, this Huaguo Mountain, you, Lao Sha's wood, the little white dragon, Master, all the demons in the world are what my grandson wants to protect. ”

"If it is really as you said, if my grandson does not interfere in this matter, and I really want to go to war, you and my brother will meet on the battlefield, will you not put my grandson in a place of injustice. Tianhe Water Army, Tianhe weak water is what you want to protect. So why let this war start?"

"Brother Monkey, what do you mean?" his eyes were red. What is wrong with you? After 500 years of being a demon in the lower realm, is it possible that you are so narrow-minded? You question the brotherhood of the people of the Tianhe tribe because of your appearance, and you question the brotherhood between you and Brother Monkey because of the people in the world.

Could it be that I have really been transformed by the Buddha Gate? Could it be that the Tianpeng of the past has really become the pure altar messenger of the Buddha Gate? Bajie asked silently in his heart.

Bajie looked at the senior brother in front of him, five hundred years ago, he made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, fought the immortals with an iron rod; on the way to learn the scriptures, he subdued the demons and eliminated the demons, and an iron rod to suppress the demons; now, wearing a robe, he took refuge in Buddhism, not for the world, but for the protection in his heart!

He felt that his heart had really changed, and he had lost his own nature.

The Great Sage turned around, looked at the scenery of the Water Curtain Cave, and said, "Hehe, my grandson will accompany you to the Eastern Earth Tang Dynasty today, and go to the Heavenly Court to walk on it!"
