As we all know, there are three strange books on the birthday star.

They are the Book of Heaven and the Book of Gods, the Book of Mountains and Seas, and the Book of Life and Death.

Among them, the Book of Life and Death, which can control the life and death of mortals and monks, was obtained by the Haotian Emperor who entered the Heavenly Court.

The whereabouts of the Book of Mountains and Seas are unknown.

In the main hall.

The monkey continued: "As for this Heavenly Book Sealing God List, it just happened to fall into the hands of my master. ”

Su Xing asked: "Since the Book of People controls the life and death of monks and mortals, and the Book of the Earth controls the life and death of plants, trees and beasts, then the Book of Heaven should control the life and death of immortals, gods and Buddhas, right?" ”

"No, no, no."

The monkey shook his head and said: "In essence, the immortals and Buddhas are just stronger human beings, after all, they are not out of the category of people, even if they are high, they will still bleed, and they can be killed, so they are still controlled by the book of life and death." ”

"What is the role of the Heavenly Book Seal God List?"

"Control the days!"

The monkey said: "Every time there is a great calamity in heaven and earth, or some major event, the Heavenly Book Sealing God List will appear, and then what will happen will be revealed.... For example, the battle of the gods 10,000 years ago was predicted by the book of heaven, and after that battle, there were so-called immortals, gods, and Buddhas on the birthday star. ”

In the main hall.

When the monkey talked about the Heavenly Book Sealing God List, Xuanzang patted the storage bag on his waist and took out a white jade slip.

The appearance of this jade slip is exactly the same as Su Xing's Book of Mountains and Seas, but the pictures burned on its surface are not dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns.

What is burned on the list of gods is the sun, moon and stars, and the vast sky.

The monkey continued: "Those who are selected by the Heavenly Book God List, as long as they act according to the prophecy on the God List, they can become people who conform to the destiny of Heaven and combine the luck of the entire planet.... And the prophecy of the god list to my master this time is that Buddhism should be flourished, and let him go to the extreme west of Xiniuhe Continent to 'seek Buddha'. ”

Thinking of the plot in the movie, Su Xing asked: "The man of destiny.... Does it mean that people who can turn evil into good fortune and can't die? ”

"It's true that you can turn evil into good fortune, but you can't die, but not so much, otherwise I wouldn't need to protect my master along the way."

The monkey said: "Of course, if someone really wants to kill my master, it is equivalent to going against the sky, and the person who does this may be unlucky enough to choke to death after eating.... I may be exaggerating a little by saying that, but you just get the idea. ”

"Understood."

Su Xing nodded.

He asked rhetorically: "So, senior, you said so much, do you just want us to follow the destiny of heaven and join the westward team?" ”

"Not bad."

In order to convince the three of Su Xing faster, the monkey began to draw a big pie: "Traveling west can not only solve the catastrophe of heaven and earth, but also collect a large number of 'black silk threads' along the way.... Relying on the 'black silk thread' collected on the road, not only can you improve your strength, even if you become a Buddha and become an ancestor, it is no longer a problem! ”

Traveling west can improve your own strength.

After becoming a Buddha and an ancestor, you can also obtain an almost infinite life....

I have to say that the flatbread painted by the monkey is really fragrant.

For a while, Su Xing, Carl and the old man all expressed their willingness to join the westbound team.

But Carl and the old man were the ones who lived for more than a hundred or two hundred years.

The so-called old man becomes a good man.

At the same time as the monkey's invitation, the old man Marsh Conrad cautiously asked: "Senior, I don't know what the requirements or prerequisites are to join the westbound team.... What do I need to do along the way? ”

The old man said with a vicious look: "It stands to reason that with the cultivation of the seniors, most of the things on the westward journey can be easily solved, right?" That being the case, what's the use of accepting a few of our juniors? ”

"You're good."

Seeing that the old man was so thoughtful, the monkey's eyes showed appreciation: "The 'black silk threads' that can be collected on the westward journey are indeed good, but these 'black silk threads' are all generated by painful emotions, so they cannot be sacrificed to 'spirits' and 'longevity'. ”

The old man and Karl took the two paths of becoming a god and becoming an immortal respectively, and the 'black silk threads' collected were generated by madness and faith.

In other words.

The 'black threads' generated by suffering on the way west cannot be exploited by the old man and Carl.

Unless....

These two people gave up their current path, gave up becoming immortals and gods, and turned to practicing Buddhism.

After realizing this, the old man had a sense of retreat in his heart.

He smiled helplessly: "The younger generation has lived for three hundred and thirty-two years since he practiced, and his remaining lifespan is only more than a hundred years.... I really don't have the courage to turn into a Buddhist cultivator and start all over again, so I am afraid I can't agree to join the westbound team. ”

It's normal for the old man to have such a statement.

In his opinion, the 'black silk thread' he gained on the way west could not offset the price he paid to become a Buddha.

Since the pay is greater than the benefit, there is naturally no need to go west.

The old man's side.

Karl, who has been on the road to becoming an immortal, also did not look down on the choice of becoming a Buddha, and politely refused: "The younger generation has dull qualifications, that is, by chance, he has cultivated to the early stage of Jindan.... If I had to start all over again, I really wouldn't have the faith to become a Buddha. ”

"It's fine."

Seeing that the old man and Carl politely refused, the monkey felt a little pity, but he did not say anything to persuade him.

He turned to Su Xing and said: "Su Xiaoyou, these two people are taking the path of becoming immortals and gods, so they are reluctant to join, but I see that you are the same as me, and your learning is quite complicated, and it seems that you are not taboo to turn into a Buddha, right?" ”

"This...."

Most of the 'black silk threads' collected by Su Xing were obtained from the sale of life-saving medicines.

I don't know why.

He didn't have to make unspeakable sacrifices like other monks to collect and absorb the 'black threads'.

He is able to directly use the 'black threads' of any nature that he encounters.

Su Xing is not an immortal, a god, or a Buddha, so even if he takes the route of a Buddhist cultivator, he doesn't need to start all over again like Carl and the old man.

Furthermore.

If it is said that Su Xing broke through from the foundation building to the Jindan period, it was necessary to collect 10,000 copies of the 'black silk thread'.

Then from the Jindan period to the Yuan infant stage, it is necessary to collect millions of 'black silk threads'.

This is no longer a problem that can be solved simply by selling life pills.

Considering this, Su Xing responded to the monkey's invitation: "Since the seniors have said so, then I am naturally willing to join.... It's just that I have one last question. ”

The monkey nodded, "You ask." ”

Thinking of the plot in "Journey to the West", Su Xing said: "If we want to complete the road to the west, do we have to go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, subjugating demons and eliminating demons along the way, and finally reach the extreme west?" ”

"What ninety-nine-eighty-one is difficult.... Is it necessary to be that complicated? ”

The monkey said with a smile: "In order to avoid encountering demons as much as possible, my master plans to find a place where Buddhist cultivators gather, settle down first, and wait until the cultivation is promoted to the middle and late stages of foundation building, and then continue to the extreme west, so that the road will be much smoother." ”
