I have a role in the heavens

When Li Shiming heard this, a light flashed in his eyes, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He knew that the person coming must be the Xuanmen Immortal God, so he couldn't help but stand up and bow before saying.

"I am suffering from no way to ask for help, so I still ask for guidance from an immortal!"

Master Huang Long nodded slightly, appreciating Li Shimin's approach and smiled.

"Your Majesty, why bother to seek far away from the near? Why don't you hear that Taishang Daozu once reincarnated into the human world and borrowed the surname Li to preach to the lower world?!"

Li Shimin looked puzzled, looked at Huang Long with some uncertainty, and asked tentatively.

"What does the immortal mean?"

Master Huang Long had an inscrutable smile on his face and said with profound meaning.

"Both are named Li, and they were the same family five hundred years ago!"

Li Shimin was overjoyed in Wenyan. He quickly bowed down and thanked Master Huang Long for his guidance. When he raised his head again, Master Huang Long was nowhere to be seen.

The next day, Li Shimin announced to the court that the royal family recognized Taishang Taozu as their ancestor and worshiped him devoutly. The whole court was immediately in an uproar. Taoism emerged and became the state religion, and its fortune greatly increased.

In Tushita Palace, Taishang Laojun looked at the real person Huang Long sitting opposite, and couldn't help but feel a trace of depression on his face, and said somewhat reproachfully.

"The bad idea you came up with is just for peace of mind, but it makes me, the old Taoist, have a group of filial sons and grandsons for no reason, and I am burdened by them!"

Master Huang Long smiled awkwardly, made a joke, changed the topic, and turned the conversation to the art of alchemy. Sure enough, Taishang Laojun no longer complained about this matter, which was regarded as acknowledgment of Li Shimin's acknowledgment of his ancestor and return to the clan. After all, he also knew that Master Huang Long did this. , but also for Taoism's plan. As a disciple of Taoism, he naturally has to support and do his part.

Not to mention how Taoism flourished in the Tang Dynasty, it is said that Tang Xuanzang bid farewell to his homeland and had a difficult journey. All the guards around him were robbed, and he was left alone. If it were not for the secret protection of Buddhism and heaven, he would have fallen into the belly of the monster and become a monster. A ball of excrement.

Seeing this, Buddhism knew that there should be someone protecting Xuanzang, and Sun Wukong must be born. Otherwise, Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty might not be able to walk to Lingshan Mountain in the West, and would be eaten by demons on the way. How could Buddhism be spread eastward.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was ordered to come to the foot of the Five Elements Mountain again. Looking at Sun Wukong with only his head exposed, he lowered the golden lotus, walked forward, looked at Sun Wukong and said.

"Sun Wukong, your opportunity has come. As long as you are willing to assist the pilgrims to go to the West to retrieve scriptures, you can escape the suppression of Wuzhishan and regain your freedom!"

Sun Wukong smiled disdainfully and looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva with disdain. He had already figured out all the causes and consequences in the past five hundred years. The one who plotted against him must be Buddhism. The reason why he suppressed himself at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain must also be to get rid of him. This also protects pilgrims who go to the West to obtain scriptures.

Sun Wukong was arrogant and arrogant. How could he be willing to be plotted against someone like this and still sacrifice his life for others? He spat fiercely at Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, almost spitting on the monk's robe of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and said sarcastically.

"Bah! You are plotting against my grandson, and you want me to work hard for you. What a beautiful idea!"

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was shocked when he heard the words. He didn't expect that Sun Wukong was so shrewd that he had already guessed the Buddhist plan. He couldn't help but be anxious. Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, and it took him a long time to speak.

"It is true that I, the Buddhist, have plotted against you, but if it had not been for my Buddhist Bodhi Patriarch to teach you how to practice, you would have turned into a pile of withered bones and been reincarnated. How would you have attained immortality now? repay?"

Sun Wukong's expression froze when he heard this. He had suspected that Patriarch Bodhi was arranged by someone behind the scenes, but when he heard Guanyin Bodhisattva say this with his own ears, he still felt complicated and confused. He couldn't help but sigh, but remained silent.

Seeing this, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva felt certain in his heart, knowing that Sun Wukong still had a master-disciple relationship with Patriarch Bodhi, so he persuaded Sun Wukong while the iron was hot.

"As long as you are willing to become a disciple of the Buddhist scripture seeker, escort the Buddhist scripture seeker to the West, obtain the true scripture, and spread the Dharma to the East, the cause and effect between you and the Bodhi Patriarch will be wiped out. How about not owing each other?!"

Sun Wukong had a complicated look on his face, remembering the time when he was studying arts and seeking Taoism at Xianyue Sanxing Cave in Fangcun Mountain. After all, he was thinking about the kindness of Patriarch Bodhi when he preached and taught. He tried his best to raise his head, looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva, and asked with a somewhat hesitant tone. .

"Are you sure what you said?"

Guanshiyin Bodhisattva heard Sun Wukong's question and knew that he was tempted, so he quickly struck the iron road while it was hot.

"Of course I take it seriously. As long as you agree to escort the Buddhist scripture seeker to obtain the true scripture, all previous karma will be wiped out!"

Sun Wukong lowered his head, a flash of wisdom flashed in his eyes, and looked into the distance. He had made progress in the past five hundred years. Although there was a seal on Wuzhi Mountain and he could not practice magic, it did not affect his practice of the Sutra of Peace and Freedom. The light of wisdom in the sea has illuminated the surrounding sky. It was he who cultivated the sea of ​​wisdom and made great progress in Taoism. However, it is now sealed by Wuzhishan and cannot be revealed for a while.

Sun Wukong thought for a moment, looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva standing quietly in front of him, finally made up his mind, weighed the pros and cons, and slowly spoke.

"Back then, I became a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi, and he was kind to me in preaching. But now, the Buddhist scripture seeker is just a mortal body, unable to preach, receive karma, and resolve doubts. It is impossible for me to worship him as my teacher. At most, I can only agree to escort him to the Western Heaven to retrieve scriptures. !”

Guanshiyin Bodhisattva thought for a moment, his eyes fluctuating, but he also knew that this was Sun Wukong's biggest concession. Before Jin Chanzi was reincarnated, he was only in the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal. How could he be qualified to become Sun Wukong's teacher? It was not surprising that Sun Wukong disagreed. , after thinking for a moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded, agreed to Sun Wukong's request, and said.

"Yes, as long as you safely escort him to the West, obtain the true scriptures, and spread Buddhism eastward, there will be no more cause and effect between you and the Patriarch!"

Sun Wukong nodded, said nothing, closed his eyes, and wandered to the sky, no longer paying attention to the Guanyin Bodhisattva in front of him.

Guanshiyin Bodhisattva is not angry either. Sun Wukong has a special status, not only because he is the Sky Mending Stone and has great merits and great fortune, but also because he is involved with the Nuwa Empress. Buddhism calculated this to Sun Wukong to win over the Nuwa Empress. She supports The great rise of Buddhism is the most special thing about Sun Wukong.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's affairs have been taken care of, so he naturally no longer stops there. He raises a golden lotus and returns to Lingshan Mountain in the West to return to the Tathagata Buddha.

Sun Wukong sensed that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva had left, and then he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were shining brightly, with a trace of hatred. Today, he finally got his guess confirmed. Buddhism had such a plot against him, and he actually wanted to let him go forward. Although he agreed to go to the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures, he would not make the journey easy for the Buddhist Buddhist Buddhist Buddhist scriptures. He would have to endure hardships before he could reach the Western Heaven world.
