When he was searching for his roots, Guo Dalu once suspected that his origin was in Lingshan, and he even thought that Bodhi Ancestor was the incarnation of the Buddha.

As we all know, the "bureau of learning scriptures" is planned by the Buddha, and the various intentions implied in it are self-evident, Guo Dalu was not able to deduce the events related to the scriptures at that time, and could only rely on imagination to deduce the causes and consequences of the scriptures.

That's why he linked the Bodhi Ancestor with the Buddha, thinking that the reason why the Buddha incarnated as a Bodhi Missionary Wukong was to let him protect Tang Seng; second, he hoped that he would slaughter demons on the way to the west and kill them until they "smelled the Buddha's color"; and the third point was to help Tang Seng spread Buddhist teachings and suppress and suppress Taoism.

Later, when he entered the Xuan Realm, the Holy Ruins and the Wild Ancestral Land, the realm was improved day by day, and he came into contact with more and more information, and gradually felt that the whole thing was not as simple as he thought, especially when he was a saint, he caused a vision of purple qi coming from the east, and he further questioned his identity.

In the history of cultivation, there were only two people who triggered the vision of purple qi coming from the east, one was him and the other was Dao Ancestor, and this undisguised connection once made him fall into an infinite cycle of thinking.

Was this vision meant to prove his connection to the Taoist Ancestor or was it a trick by the Buddha?

He couldn't guess it at all.

Then he started a war with the night demon, and then suppressed the heavenly monks, and opened up territory for the Daozu Cave everywhere, and his identity tended to gradually move closer to the Tushi Palace.

Then he successively ascended to the earth immortals and heavenly immortals, and gradually approached the way of heaven, began to deduce and learn from the scriptures, deduced the journey to the west, and accumulated more and more secrets in his heart - the truth is close at hand.

At this time, a major event of turning significance occurred - Guo Miaojue was born!

It can be said that Guo Miaojue's birth is the most critical part of Guo Dalu's recognition of the whole truth, his understanding of his son is deeper, and his understanding of the truth will go further, and when Guo Miaojue officially returns to his position and restores his true body of Bodhi, those independent secrets in his heart are suddenly connected, giving him a feeling of enlightenment, and the truth is revealed.

And Guo Dalu, who finally figured out these things, completely awakened and returned to his position, knowing that his roots had been in Tushi Palace from beginning to end.

The one who escaped.

"Since I am the one who has escaped, why do I use it for you step by step in the whole thing?" Guo Dalu already had a sense of independence, and it was impossible for him to immediately regard himself as Taishang Laojun.

When Lao Jun heard this, he smiled proudly, "Lao Dao has acted all his life, paying attention to taking advantage of the trend, and the most important is the word 'naturally'.

Anyway, that 'one' is also the soul of Lao Dao, no matter where he falls, Lao Dao believes that he will 'go with the flow' to help Lao Dao, and because Lao Dao does not deliberately contact him, so that those Taoist friends are also a little confused. ”

Speaking of this, Dao Ancestor smiled and asked, "Has Bodhi Daoist been afraid to be sure of your true body?"

Guo Dalu didn't answer, but continued the question and asked, "So, what is the relationship between you and Bodhi Ancestor?"

Daozu smiled and asked, "What is your relationship with him?"

Guo Dalu shook his head lightly, "My relationship with him is not the same as the relationship between you and him. ”

Dao Ancestor nodded thoughtfully, "Naturally, it is different! Your relationship with him is obviously more ideal, and at this point, Lao Dao is convinced." ”

Guo Dalu didn't eat his Tai Chi, and directly said his guess: "Bodhi Buddha is the doppelganger you cut out......"

"Back then, you turned Hu into a Buddha, educated Xiniu Hezhou, and incarnated into a Bodhi tree to transform Shakyamuni and protect the Dharma for him, never thought that Shakyamuni was the chosen person, with high understanding, and the cultivation talent was unprecedented, and there was no one after him.

And you, who have no place to stand in the Pure Land Buddha Kingdom, have to retreat gloomily, relying on the unwillingness in your heart, you founded Fangcun Lingtai Mountain under his nose, and continued to compete with him for incense. ”

"So, if I am the one of your fifty divine souls who escaped, then Bodhi Buddha is probably the doppelganger that you actually cut out!"

When Lao Jun heard this, he made a stunned expression and said with a smile: "With such an unbridled imagination, you can go home." ”

Guo Dalu's eyes were like torches, staring at Lao Jun.

Lao Jun's expression and tone were like a thousand-foot ancient well, without any waves, and said: "Among the Three Realms, who can do it, and after cutting out the clones, they still establish their own religions and claim ancestors?"

Guo Dalu said: "You and Rulai." ”

Lao Jun looked at Guo Dalu in surprise with a questioning look on his face.

Guo Dalu directly revealed his speculation: "The Demon Ancestor is the evil thought clone cut out by the Buddha. ”

Lao Jun's expression was wonderful and noncommittal.

Guo Dalu continued: "When you have cultivated to this point, I'm afraid no one can defeat you except yourself, right?"

Daozu smiled and said: "Even if your guess is right, you still have to know that once a person establishes a religion and becomes an ancestor, then no matter what state he was in before and what his roots were, he will be cut in two, and there will be no more connections, which is independence in the true sense." ”

Guo Dalu agreed, and said, "That's why you want to use me and Guo Miaojue's karma in this life to win him over as a new force, so that we can join forces in the upcoming Era Tribulation and harvest the largest and most tribulation fruits possible." ”

Lao Jun did not deny it, "Why not? I believe that Bodhi Daoists are also happy to see it come to pass." ”

"Maybe......" Guo Dalu suddenly smiled vaguely, "He didn't change his name after returning to the throne, he still called me Dad, and now it seems that he does have plans to join forces." ”

"Isn't that it," Dao Ancestor smiled, "With you, me, and the three of us joining forces, we will wait for the catastrophe to come." ”

"No......" Guo Dalu shook his head, "It shouldn't be like this." ”

Dao Zu seemed to see through Guo Dalu's thoughts, and said: "Since you have come to my Tushi Palace unhindered today, it means that you have turned from a chess piece to a chess player, and now you are also a chess watcher, what else is wrong?"

Without waiting for Guo Dalu to speak, Daozu continued: "In other words, have you ever done anything that goes against your heart when you come to this point? ”

Guo Dalu said: "I have come to this day because the cause and effect between me and you have not been broken, because I am the one who has escaped, whether I am a chess viewer or a chess piece who has just obtained the perspective of a chess viewer, I know very well in my heart." ”

Dao Ancestor said: "Then what do you want?"

"I want to be myself, not some escaped one, not a wisp of soul of anyone, not a chess piece, not a chess viewer...... It is Guo Dalu, who was born in the world. ”

"You want to be an ordinary person?"

Guo Dalu smiled: "I'm not so hypocritical, since I have come to this day and come to Tushi Palace, it shows that I can't be ordinary anymore." ”

Dao Ancestor understood, "Then you want to cut off the cause and effect with me?"

"That's right. Guo Dalu stood up and looked at Dao Zu levelly, "The biggest opportunity in me is the cause and effect with you, but the biggest constraint on my body is also with your cause and effect, as long as this cause and effect exists, as long as I am still your soul, then no matter what I do, I can't escape your control, and I can't get real freedom." ”

Daozu frowned, as if he didn't want to make things too stiff, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Since you know this, then you should know that as long as I don't agree and don't cut off this causal line, you will never be able to get rid of the connection with me......"

Guo Dalu suddenly laughed, first softly and continuously, and then turned into a loud laugh.

Dao Zu didn't stop him either, and looked at him quietly.

After Guo Dalu laughed for half a minute, he slowly calmed down, his smile gradually disappeared, and finally became serious: "With all due respect, Lao Jun, if you insist on keeping this cause and effect, then all the previous layouts of you and Emperor Nuwa will be ruined and defeated." ”

Daozu looked at Guo Dalu with a natural expression: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Guo Dalu pointed his hands to his body and said, "Lao Jun, you might as well use those supreme Dao eyes to see who I am." ”

Daozu was stunned for a moment, and then the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, wind, rain, thunder and lightning appeared in his eyes, and in an instant, there were long years in his eyes.

"You ......"

For the first time, a confused look appeared on Daozu's face, "You, you are not Guo Dalu himself!"

Guo Dalu exhaled lightly and said, "That's right, I am not his deity, but the doppelganger he created with the Mo family craftsman's technique, the doppelganger technique, and the 'his heart channel technique'. ”

Daozu's robe sleeves trembled slightly, he knew Guo Dalu's doppelganger, Guo Dalu deliberately left his doppelganger to take care of his parents in the world in order to break through the Xuan Realm.

Later, he became a saint in front of the Five Elements Secret Realm of the Two Realms Mountain, traveled to the world, and became one with that clone, and experienced the mortal tribulation together.

A few years later, the black-clothed clone returned to the Holy Ruins and joined forces with the Ninth Zenzi to suppress the Hell Gate.

After that, the black-clothed clone went up the river of time, and finally hid in a purple gold bowl.

And the bowl went through several times and reached Tang Sanzang's hands, and embarked on the road to the west with him......

"I see!" Dao Ancestor thought for a while, and immediately understood, "It turns out that the black-clothed clone is Guo Dalu's own deity." ”

Guo Dalu said expressionlessly: "Now that the purple gold bowl is in the hands of Ananda and Jiaye, even if you have the means to reach the sky, I believe that you will not take the risk of hitting the grass and scaring the snake to recover the wisp of divine soul from Lingshan, so you had better make a decision before the bowl is dedicated to the Buddha, otherwise he will catch the clues, and from this and his deduction, everything will be closed." ”

Dao Zu smiled bitterly, he didn't expect to be put in such a dilemma by a wisp of his own divine soul.

It's just that in order to confuse the Three Realms, he deliberately isolated and distanced himself from this wisp of divine soul, and he took the opportunity to make a plan.

"Whoever does not use one out of fifty, the anger of heaven will want to seek truth with fiction ......"

Guo Dalu said that he would not stay for a long time, and he would walk away.

Daozu restrained his emotions, his face was full of indifference, and he returned to the state of forgetfulness.

He first stretched out his hand and pointed at Guo Dalu, and a mysterious aura enveloped Guo Dalu and disappeared out of thin air with him.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, the void fluctuated, flashing countless images, which shattered and dissipated one by one.

Finally, there is an invisible and formless line of cause and effect, which is quietly disconnected, leaving no trace.

......

Leiyin Temple.

The two Venerable Anandas and Kasa were closing the door to study the purple gold bowl, when suddenly a clear and palpable breath floated out of the bowl and floated into the air to condense into a human form.

It's a boy in black.

The young man smiled, said "There are two workers", turned around and left.

......

Above the Occult Realm.

There is a young man in white who steps on auspicious clouds from west to east.

There is a young man in black who steps on auspicious clouds from east to west.

The two finally met in the sky above Tianluo Mountain, looked at each other and smiled, and their bodies leaned back in unison, falling into the sky-covering array.

When he reappeared, there was only one Guo Dalu wearing a half-hundred-and-half-black robe.

Heaven and earth, the only Guo Dalu.
