Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

"I, Old Sun, am coming out!"

At the junction of Nanzhanbuzhou and Xiniuhezhou, there was a loud noise suddenly, and a golden light shot up into the sky, revealing the shape of a stone monkey.

Above the clouds, Ji Ren looked down at Sun Wukong with a gleam in his eyes. The stone monkey was born and the journey to the West began, which meant that the end of the catastrophe was not far away.

Compared to the Battle of the Gods, the battles in Journey to the West have always been controlled to a certain extent.

"You even came all the way to see this monkey."

Beside Ji Ren, Guanyin Bodhisattva chuckled.

“After all, he is the opponent who helped me reach the Daluo level, so naturally I have to pay some attention to him. But I will have to trouble my uncle-master in the future. The Journey to the West team is not easy to lead to begin with, not to mention now there’s this troublesome Sun Wukong.” Ji Ren said with a chuckle.

"You have blocked his path to promotion and suppressed him with a mountain. He is still at the peak of the Golden Immortal level and cannot escape from my palm." Guanyin Bodhisattva said with a smile.

“Yes, Master Cihang has great powers and can do anything.” Ji Ren said with a smile.

"You are too kind. Now, in terms of cultivation, I am not as good as you. Now, if the saint does not appear, you are the real number one in the Three Realms. Neither Yunxiao nor Kong Xuan are your opponents." Guanyin Bodhisattva said with a smile.

“No matter what, Uncle Master is always Uncle Master. If it weren’t for Uncle Master, I wouldn’t have developed so quickly in the South China Sea, and I might not even be able to withstand the joint hunting of the six great saints.” Ji Ren said with a smile.

“At that time, I did not expect that you would grow so fast. Now with you here, the Conferred God battlefield is almost one-sided. For the first time in all these years of the Conferred God Battle, not only did all the Golden Immortals of the Orthodox Sect survive, but even three generations of elite disciples remained unscathed.” said Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"After all, I'm standing on the battlefield. I'm invincible. I can also find time to play games with the Buddhists." Ji Ren said.

"Have you forgotten that I am also a Bodhisattva of Buddhism?" Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Ji Ren and said.

"Remember, so let's talk to uncle first. The Journey to the West is over, Buddhism is flourishing, and it's irreversible. I don't intend to go against the will of heaven, but some accounts must be settled." Ji Ren chuckled.

"Settling accounts? Dipankara, Mahasthamaprapta, and Lingji?" Bodhisattva Guanyin frowned slightly.

"There is also Kong Xuan." Ji Ren said.

"There are only six people in Buddhism. I cannot even be considered a complete Buddhist. If you want two at once, the Buddha will not agree." said Guanyin Bodhisattva.

“I think so, because they can’t afford to lose. Otherwise, I don’t mind letting my Tunyue go down to take the blame, or I can send a clone down, and then we can’t say for sure what kind of accidents might happen.” Ji Ren said.

"Harmony is the most precious thing." Guanyin Bodhisattva pondered for a while and said, "The two saints of the West value the West very much. If someone destroys the West, they will not care even if it means they have to fight to the death and re-refine the earth, water, fire and wind."

“So we have to let others make peace. I understand.” Ji Ren smiled.

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Ji Ren in front of him and wanted to persuade him, but she knew that Ji Ren had made up his mind and there was no other way.

Ji Ren chuckled quietly, watching Tang Seng and Sun Wukong journey westwards, watching Tang Seng being captured, Sun Wukong looking for help everywhere, and then the ancient Buddha Rāhula slowly floating over on the golden lotus.

Looking at the figure on the golden lotus, Ji Ren curled his lips and thought, it's a little less, so he'll just have to make do with it.

As he was thinking about it, the next moment Ji Ren appeared out of nowhere in front of the ancient Buddha Dipankara.

Seeing Ji Ren suddenly appear, the already worried Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha changed his expression and wanted to escape. However, as soon as he moved, Ji Ren appeared in front of him, pointing his three-pointed double-edged sword at him and said, "Don't hide, you should die today, otherwise you wouldn't come here."

"Did Jie Yin and Zhunti make a deal with you?" The ancient Buddha Ran Deng, who had already had doubts about this trip, suddenly changed his expression when he heard Ji Ren's words. He even dropped the respectful title and called him by his name.

"Of course. Otherwise, how could you, the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp, who had no presence in the Journey to the West, appear here? Are you committing suicide? Or should I kill you?" Ji Ren said to the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp.

"Ji Ren, I have been roaming the Three Realms for billions of years. Do you really think you can kill me alone? In terms of attack, I am not the best in the Three Realms. But when it comes to self-protection, Yunxiao and Kong Xuan are not as good as me! Let me go, I am willing to abandon darkness and join the light and be loyal to you." The ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp said firmly.

"Sure enough, being a traitor is something that only happens once and becomes familiar twice. But once you are unfaithful, you will never be loyal again. If I accept an old dog like you who betrayed the sect, how can I face my master?" Ji Ren chuckled.

“Ji Ren, you really don’t want to leave me a way out.” The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng listened to Ji Ren’s words, and a ferocious expression appeared on his skinny old face. “Don’t forget, you are not alone. Can you really provoke a mad Daluo Jinxian? Let me go, I will swear to the heavens...ah!”

The ancient Buddha Dipankara was about to say that he swore to the heavens, but before he could finish his words, the three-pointed, double-edged sword in Ji Ren's hand slashed across, and the ancient Buddha Dipankara's arm was directly broken, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

"Please say what you just said again. I didn't hear it clearly." Ji Ren looked at the ancient Buddha Ran Deng and said word by word.

It has been hundreds of years since anyone threatened him.

The ancient Buddha Ran Deng did not dare to answer a word. He turned around and ran. The twenty-four Dinghai Pearls on his body flew out at the same time, tearing the void in an instant, and opening up twenty-four space channels in an instant. Then his figure flashed, and he split into twenty-three clones, all fleeing together at a speed that was unparalleled in the world.

The ancient Buddha Dipankara claims to be the best escaper in the three realms, and he is not joking.

He doesn't have a saintly master, but he participated in several battles to become gods and survived, which shows his ability.

There are some that I haven’t fought, but I always manage to escape.

There are not even a few people in this world who can let him escape.

Both Kong Xuan and Yun Xiao are almost invincible in the same level.

But now, facing Ji Ren, the ancient Buddha Ran Deng didn't even dare to say a harsh word and turned around and ran away.

The current Ji Ren is completely beyond his imagination.

Unreasonably powerful.

With a raise of his hand, he broke one of his arms without him even noticing. Such strength was totally beyond his ability to match.

He really had some doubts. Was this the Golden Immortal?

Just at the moment of turning around to escape, the original Buddha Ran Deng felt that his twenty-three clones shattered at the same time. The next moment, an irresistible force hit him. The Buddha Ran Deng mobilized all his magic power, and golden light flashed around him. There were bursts of Sanskrit sounds, and the space fluctuated.

However, before the Dharma image of the ancient Buddha Dipankara could fully burst out, the next moment, Ji Ren grabbed with a big hand and crushed the ancient Buddha Dipankara to pieces.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was watching everything, was looking at this scene and thinking about life. Randang’s cultivation was not inferior to her, but Ji Ren could easily crush Randang with one hand, which means that killing her does not require two hands either.

"Goodbye, Uncle Master." Ji Ren said with a smile as he looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Goodbye." Guanyin Bodhisattva replied quickly, and then said goodbye to Ji Ren.

Ji Ren smiled and saw him off. Looking at the departing figure of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. This uncle of his was also a little different.

Over the years, Ji Ren has tried both overtly and covertly, and discovered that the two main members of the Chan sect, Nan Ji Xian Weng and Tai Yi Zhenren, know almost nothing about the affairs of the God Realm. But is it true that no one in the Chan sect knows about this?

Ji Ren didn't quite believe it. He put himself in the shoes of Yuanshi Tianzun and the others and suddenly found something wrong. That is, for a period of time, he had temporarily escaped the control of the Three Pure Ones and entered the South China Sea. During this period of time, they had no constraints or protection on him?

And if so, who is the best person?

Ji Ren raised the corners of his mouth slightly and returned to Guanjiangkou. He saw from afar that Qiao Qingyin was teasing a marten in the backyard. Her green dress outlined her graceful figure, her slender waist outlined a moving curve, and her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque. There were hundreds of flowers blooming in the backyard, but even if all the flowers were in full bloom, they were eclipsed by her.

Ji Ren was moved by what he saw, and he lowered his head and put his arms around Qiao Qingyin's slender waist.

Sensing someone, Qiao Qingyin instinctively wanted to resist, but soon found out it was Ji Ren, so she suppressed the violent power in her body and scolded him unhappily: "Come back if you want, why did you scare me all of a sudden?"

"I miss you, and I feel more and more that the mortal world is better." Ji Ren put his arms around Qiao Qingyin's slender waist, pressed his cheeks against hers, and sniffed the faint fragrance coming from Qiao Qingyin's body.

Feeling Ji Ren's breath, even though they were already an old couple, Qiao Qingyin's slender, snow-white swan neck still had a faint blush on it. She said, "You haven't been gone for long, and you still miss the mortal world. Why don't we go back?"

“You can’t go back. Once you enter the vortex, there is no possibility of going back. People’s hearts are evil, and the hearts of gods are even eviler. They are calculating everywhere, and there are conspiracies within conspiracies. It would be great if everyone was like you.” Ji Ren said sincerely.

Qiao Qingyin was listening to Ji Ren's words, but when she heard the last part, her slender eyebrows couldn't help but raise. What did this guy mean by the last sentence?

Is he implying me?

No, that's not what you mean. Zhu Ning'er is the one who has no wisdom at all.
