Chapter 32 The Buddha set to go west
It is said that the curtain general was ordered by the Jade Emperor, and the fast horse meteor flew to Lingshan, and after the will was delivered, the Buddha did not hesitate at all, and got up and went straight to the heavenly court.
"Report! The Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable, if the Buddha comes to see you!" the general of the rolling shutter flashed to the side after speaking, and the Buddha heard the Jade Emperor say outside the door: "Hustle." And he walked in.
"Amitabha, the poor monk pays homage to the Jade Emperor. The Buddha bowed down, and after turning his head to inquire with Lao Jun and Tongtian, he opened his mouth and said: "The Jade Emperor is in a hurry to make the poor monks here, but is it because of the Lingming stone monkey?"
"Huh. The Jade Emperor smiled knowingly: "What a great day Buddha who can know the past and the future, this heavenly thing can't be hidden from you! ”
"The Jade Emperor has won the prize. After the Buddha finished speaking, he bowed to the Jade Emperor again and got up and said: "That monkey has been pressed by the poor monk at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain at this time, guarding the mountain gods, the land and the five directions day and night, and I don't dare to have the slightest neglect, I don't know how he got into trouble again?" The Buddha looked at the Jade Emperor with a puzzled face, thinking that the Five Elements Mountain was personally transformed by himself with the Five Elements Secret Method, and there was a golden character pressed on the top of the mountain, so it stands to reason that the monkey should not be able to come out, how did he cause trouble? I really should have asked the guards for a crime of negligence.
"The Buddha is relieved, the monkey is safe at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, and there is nothing abnormal. Lao Jun saw the Buddha's concern and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"That" The Buddha was a little puzzled, since Sun Wukong did not appear abnormal, what did the Jade Emperor ask himself to discuss here? After thinking about it, the Buddha seemed to understand, but he was not sure of his thoughts, so he still said calmly: "Forgive the poor monk for being stupid, since he has not made trouble with Amitabha Buddha, I still hope that the Jade Emperor will say it." After speaking, the Buddha folded his hands and waited for the Jade Emperor's reply.
"Alas, the Buddha doesn't know, the six-eared macaque was born!" The Jade Emperor only said this sentence and did not say any more, but looked at Lao Jun, so under Lao Jun's instructions, Tongtian told the Buddha what happened and what the three of them had discussed.
After listening to the Buddha, he fell into contemplation slightly, he was also asking himself in his heart at this time, how to arrange Sun Wukong, think about it, there is no good way, think that at the beginning, Sun Wukong was taught by himself, although he was also in accordance with the will of the Jade Emperor, but in general, he did not do this well, so that Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the heavenly palace and bullied the king, and now find a way to arrange him to stay away from the place of right and wrong as soon as possible is the most important thing, this Five Elements Mountain seems to be powerful, but it is okay to trap only one Sun Wukong, if it is really according to what Lao Jun said, in caseSix ears and Sun Wukong are one, then this fragile Five Elements Mountain, but can not resist the power of half of the chaotic world, when the mountain collapses, the chaotic world is reborn, and then to endanger the world, causing all living beings in the world to be ruined, then this, but it is their own fault, the Buddha said: I don't go to hell, who goes to hell!
Thinking of this, the Buddha took a step forward and said to the Jade Emperor: "The Jade Emperor is above, this monkey, let the poor monks take it to the West for settlement!
"This" The Jade Emperor hesitated a little, not because he couldn't believe the words of the Buddha, but because he had a lot of concerns.
Previously, he had also thought about leaving Sun Wukong in the heavenly court, so he sent Tai Bai Xing to Zhao'an, and after he was ordered to go to the realm, he also immediately gave him the official title of Bi Ma Wen, so that he could enjoy the immortal position, I thought that in this way, I could confine him here, but who knew that this monkey was simply bold, because the suspicion of the official was small, he dared to go to the lower realm privately, and also pulled up the banner of "Monkey King" on the Huaguo Mountain, which is really bold without a king! If it weren't for the fact that he was the Four Monkeys of the Mixed World, he would have sent troops to eradicate it a long time ago, but there was no way, if he was really killed, then the One Spirit of the Mixed World would escape from the shackles, and it would be even more difficult for Heavenly Court to control. In desperation, the Jade Emperor had no choice but to admit his so-called "Monkey King", and once again sent Tai Bai Xing to Zhao'an, and even built the "Monkey King Mansion" for him in the Heavenly Palace , All the things that are used for eating, drinking, and application are also provided by the heavenly court, but everything has never made him bother, to put it bluntly, it is good to eat and drink to raise you, so that you can play around all day long, as long as you don't run to the nether realm, even if you really make some mistakes, the heavenly court has always turned a blind eye to the past. Later, because he couldn't be idle, he was afraid that he would cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace, or what if he was so idle and tired and ran down, so he let him manage the Pan Tao Garden, who would have thought that this monkey would dare to disturb the peach feast, steal the peach, steal the imperial wine, steal the elixir, despise the three Qing and four emperors, openly rebel against the heavenly court, and then in front of everyone, he once again rebelled against the lower realm, so far, the heavenly court was completely angry, and sent 100,000 heavenly soldiers to encircle and suppress Huaguo Mountain.
Thinking of these past experiences, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but shake his head: "I'm afraid this thing is difficult! It's not that I can't believe in the Buddha's mana, but this monkey is really shrewd and terrifying, unless the Buddha moves the Five Elements Mountain and the stone box where he was imprisoned to the Lingshan Mountain, and let him live under the mountain as usual, and he will never be able to turn over!" This is not a long-term solution, and it will only make you more troubled. ”
"Huh. After hearing this, the Buddha smiled and said, "Then what if the poor monk let him go to Lingshan by himself?"
"Go by yourself?" After hearing this, the three Heavenly Venerables present looked at the Buddha in unison, not knowing what the Lord of the Ten Thousand Buddhas of the Western Elysium was having.
"Jade Emperor. The Buddha folded his hands and bowed to the Jade Emperor and said, "And please ask the Jade Emperor to give an order, can the general run to Lingshan for the poor monk with the curtain?"
"What's so difficult about this?" After hearing this, the Jade Emperor didn't know what medicine was sold in the Buddha's gourd, but he immediately called the curtain to the hall and said to the Buddha: "The Buddha has something to send, but it doesn't matter." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. After the Buddha bowed to the Jade Emperor, he turned to the curtain and said: "The troubled general will go to Lingshan and go to the hall of the poor monk Na Da Lei Yin Temple, and bring my second disciple Jin Cicada to the scene, only saying that the poor monk wants something to do, let him come here quickly." ”
"Order!" After hearing this, the curtain turned and left the temple, and went west without stopping.
After the curtain left, the Jade Emperor still looked at the Buddha with a puzzled face and asked: "The Buddha has not finished speaking, let the monkey go to Lingshan by himself, what is this?" After the Jade Emperor asked, Lao Jun and Tongtian also took a step forward, and everyone had a strong interest in the Buddha's words, and they all wanted to know how to let the monkey go to Lingshan by himself?
The Buddha smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, since more than 200 years ago, the poor monk pressed this monkey under the Five Elements Mountain, he has been thinking about how to clean up this situation, although he has committed the crime of ten thousand deaths in the heavenly court, but the four monkeys in the mixed world are all related to the number of heaven and earth, otherwise we can't just press him like this, right? Therefore, the poor monk guessed that if this monkey was sincerely obedient and accommodating him everywhere like the heavenly court, it would never work, so since it was not possible to follow him, we might as well lead him by force, and maybe there was a glimmer of possibility. ”
"Oh?" the three people present understood a little by what they said.
"However, I don't know how the Buddha plans to lead him to Lingshan?" asked Lao Jun.
"The poor monk plans to arrange a westward journey!" the Buddha said with a serious face, and the others were once again a little confused.
So Tongtian asked, "But I don't know what it means to go west?"
"The poor monk plans to wait for the monkey to suffer all the loneliness in the Five Elements Mountain, and yearns for freedom, so he will arrange for a Buddha to be reborn in the territory of the eastern country adjacent to the Five Elements Mountain, and then walk to my Ling Mountain, across 108,000 miles, to seek the three volumes of Mahayana Buddhism Sutra in my Leiyin Temple, pass by the Five Elements Mountain along the way, and then he will release the monkey. ”
"Release?" When everyone heard this, they were a little puzzled, if this monkey reached the point of longing for freedom, you let him out, and he didn't run away without a trace.
"Hehe, please listen to the poor monk. The Buddha waved his sleeves and continued: "Let the monkey out, and I will be an apprentice to the Buddha, along the way the Buddha is only an ordinary man, but whenever he encounters demons and monsters, he Sun Wukong will be subdued, in order to protect the Buddha to climb the spiritual mountain." The Buddha paused slightly, and saw that the three Tianzun were all thinking, and he continued: "The poor monk made a rough calculation, from the Eastern Tu Tang Dynasty to my Western Lei Yin, and there were seventy or eighty demons and monsters in the middle of the way.
"This" Lao Jun thought for a while: "Although this method is good, but that monkey is naturally dissolute and uninhibited, how can he listen to your and my arrangements and obediently go west? Besides, the Buddha, your Buddha is still an ordinary man, how can such a demon monkey who makes trouble in the heavenly palace listen to his dispatch?"
"In a word. The Buddha turned to Lao Jun and said, "Enwei and Ji!"
"What is grace, and what is prestige?"
"The so-called mighty. The Buddha said with a solemn and serious face: "It is a strong method, this time the monkey can never be accommodated like the previous time of heaven, and the poor monk will have a way to make him obedient and obedient." As for well."
"Huh?" the Jade Emperor stopped halfway through the Buddha's words, and questioned in confusion.
"As for En, the poor monk has also thought about it, if there is no great benefit, this monkey will definitely not give in, so the poor monk will give him this great benefit. The Buddha looked at the Jade Emperor and said: "Please ask the Great Heavenly Venerable to agree, if the monkey really protects the poor monk and the Buddha comes through hardships, the poor monk will give him a golden body and fruit, and make him a big Buddha!"
"A big Buddha?" Lao Jun and Tongtian sighed at the same time, this Buddha really made a big enough foundation for this matter, you must know that there are only forty-eight Buddhas in his Lingshan, but whoever has the Buddha body is immortal, it is the immortal existence of the golden body through the ages, even if the Guanyin of great compassion in the Quartet is just a Bodhisattva, this monkey, the Buddha actually wants to give him the golden body Buddha position? But after thinking about it, this matter is nothing, anyway, if this monkey stays in Lingshan, it will never let him die, otherwise the spirit of the mixed world will escape, so thinking about it, it is not surprising to really give him an immortal and immortal Buddha body.
"I can promise you. The Jade Emperor looked at the Buddha and said with a worried face: "But the Buddha, your Buddha is just an ordinary man after all, if the monkey pulls up the Buddha and jumps up the Lingshan with a somersault, won't it be in vain for me to wait for this calculation? And after really releasing the monkey demon out of the Five Elements Mountain, it will be necessary to add 10,000 careful guards! If one of them does not pay attention to let him escape and hide in the deep mountains and Daze, you and I will have nowhere to find him, and if he touches the six ears again, he will regret it!"
The Buddha swore and said: "Your Majesty can rest assured, although my Buddha is a **mortal fetus, but his cultivation is still alive, how can he be pulled by a Taiyi Golden Immortal?"
"Report!" A message interrupted the conversation, and the curtain walked in with a magic wand in his hand: "The Jade Emperor of Qiqi, the last general will be ordered by the Buddha to go to the Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple to invite the golden cicada elder, and now he is waiting outside the palace gate to be summoned." ”
"Hustle. The Jade Emperor gave an order, and the curtain hurriedly went out and invited the golden cicada in, and when the golden cicada entered the hall, everyone present praised his talent, and it was really not a loss that he was the second disciple of the Buddha.
"Jin Cicada visited the Jade Emperor Datianzun and met the Taoist Ancestor and the Sect Master. Jin Cicada clasped his hands together, and after speaking, he knelt on the ground and bowed to the Jade Emperor.
"Ai Qing is flat. ”
"Emperor Xie Yu. After speaking, Jin Chan stood up and faced the Buddha and said, "Amitabha, I don't know why the Buddha is here with his disciples?"
The Buddha patted Jin Chan's shoulder and told him what he thought, and after listening to it, Jin Chan said with a panicked face: "I'm afraid that the disciple will be shallow in his studies and live up to the Buddha's high expectations!"
The Buddha said comfortingly: "It's okay, there are gods and Buddhas along the way, and the monkey will definitely come with you, but the demons are blocking along the way, I'm afraid that you will be tired of suffering a tribulation." ”
"There is nothing to say about the tribulation, I think it should be a blessing for my Buddhist disciples to suffer a little hardship, but I am afraid that if I live up to the expectations of the Buddha and the Heavenly Venerables, then the disciple will really fall into Yama and it will be difficult to escape the blame. ”
When the Jade Emperor heard this, he said: "I am also a little relieved, it is better to do this, I also sent the curtain to the lower realm, and like that monkey, I will be an apprentice with Elder Jin Cicada, and then secretly send Liuding Liujia, Wufang Jiedi, and Siwei Gong Cao to protect Sun Wukong in the dark, and only say to the outside world that it is to protect Elder Jin Chan's safety, so as to ensure that the monkey demon will not have evil intentions all the way and travel west safely." ”
"Well, it's okay, thank the Jade Emperor so much, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the poor monk will send another eighteen guardian Jialan, and take turns on duty with the immortals, and take the monkey to the west. ”
"Yes! The Jade Emperor turned his head to look at Lao Jun: "Dao Ancestor, and pass on my will, the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty wants to go west to seek the true scriptures, in order to test his determination, all the gods are ready to obey the dispatch, and they need to turn into demons along the way, adding tribulations to them, so that his master and apprentice can strengthen their hearts to go west!"
"Obey the orders of the Jade Emperor!" After Daozu finished speaking, the lower hall arranged to go, and the Jade Emperor turned his head and looked at the Buddha again: "The matter is big, the Buddha must not miss half a point!"
"Please rest assured, the poor monk will live up to expectations!" After the Buddha finished speaking, he walked out of the main hall with the golden cicada and went westward, passing through the Five Elements Mountain along the way, the golden cicada looked down at the Monkey King who was still pressing under the mountain, and an inexplicable feeling came to his heart: "My apprentice who has never met! For this merit related to the common people in the world, as a teacher, I will use my life to accompany you on this difficult and dangerous road to the west."
