Black Myth: You and I are both destined

The figure of Maitreya Buddha gradually disappeared into the horizon. Tianming looked in the direction he left, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

He turned around and said to Zhu Bajie, "I took away Maitreya Buddha's human seed bag. This magic weapon is very important. I'm afraid he won't let us go easily."

Zhu Bajie seemed relaxed. He patted his big belly and said with a smile, "Tianming, you said it yourself that Maitreya Buddha has not yet come to the world. How big a wave can he stir up?"

"I think the ones we really need to be wary of are the forces in Lingshan and Heaven."

"You have now entered the path of evil. They have an excuse and will definitely take this opportunity to deal with you."

A smile appeared on Tianming's lips.

"Second Brother, there are no demons in this world. They are just making up excuses for their internal fighting."

"For those who use spiritual essence differently, they classify them as demons."

"If he hadn't become a so-called demon, I don't know when those golden elixirs would have been consumed. However, I think Maitreya Buddha is not that easy to deal with."

"Yellow Eyebrows came down from the mountain to cause chaos, but he has always been respectful to Maitreya Buddha. There must be something fishy going on."

Zhu Bajie frowned and began to recall the past scenes.

"I remember that on the journey to obtain the scriptures, the little boy who struck the chimes stole the golden cymbals and the bag of human seeds while Maitreya Buddha was attending a meeting with Yuanshi Tianzun, and came to obstruct us."

"We have invited the twenty-eight constellations under the Jade Emperor, the two generals of turtle and snake under the Northern Purple Star Zhenwu Great Emperor, the five great dragons, and the little prince Zhang and the four generals under the Great Saint National Master Wang Bodhisattva."

Zhu Bajie's voice gradually became serious.

"Brother Ziwei once said, 'Without the order from the higher realms, we dare not start a war without authorization, for fear of being punished by the Jade Emperor.' Now that I think about it, this matter was probably premeditated and has far-reaching implications."

"That big belly is definitely involved. He must be behind this."

Tianming nodded, a gleam in his eyes.

"Second Brother, you are right!"

"I once heard a story about a treacherous minister named Zhao Gao. He brought a deer with its horns cut off to the palace and asked officials to judge. Those who thought it was a great horse stood on his side, while those who thought it was a deer stood on the side of another minister. This was how they divided the officials' positions."

"Later, all the courtiers who stood beside another minister were purged."

"Think about what happened to those gods who helped you?"

After hearing Tianming's words, Zhu Bajie frowned, as if searching for some clues in his mind.

He suddenly asked, "Tianming, are you saying that all this was done by Maitreya and that he is our enemy?"

Tianming nodded slowly, with a complex light flashing in his eyes: "Yes, and no."

"When Miroku left, it looked like a threat, but in fact, he was trying to be friendly."

"These people were indeed harmed by him, but he is helping us now and is indeed not an enemy."

Zhu Bajie was completely confused and asked, "From what I've seen, the Yellow Eyebrow was obviously sent by Maitreya to settle accounts with the gods who helped us back then, but you said he is not our enemy. How can that be true?"

Tianming put his hand into his arms, and instantly several magical treasures flew out of his body: eyes seeing joy - the bird with the same name; ears hearing anger - the ten-hole xun; nose sniffing love just recovered - ten goldfish; tongue tasting thoughts - the seven-seed lotus pod.

"These roots were all left by the Great Sage."

Tianming said.

"The eyes see joy being controlled by the Black Bear Demon, the guardian god of Mount Luojia, where Guanyin sits. The ears hear anger in the head of Lingji Bodhisattva. The nose smells love in the bag. Although it is in the hands of Huangmei, it is actually controlled by Maitreya. All three are controlled by the Buddhists."

"Only Tongue Tasting Thoughts is in Spider Ridge. Hundred Eyes is at the mercy of Kunlun, the Queen Mother of the West, and has some dealings with Zhen Yuanzi, so they are controlled by the Taoist sect."

Zhu Bajie became more and more confused as he listened, and asked, "Now I understand what you said, what does this have to do with Maitreya?"

Tianming pointed twice in the sky with his stick and said: "Taoism is in charge of the East Heaven, and Buddhism is in charge of the West Heaven."

"Second Brother, these immortals will naturally seize the roots for the places they serve."

"Second Brother, if you were Maitreya, who would you help?"

Zhu Bajie answered without hesitation: "Of course I will help Buddhism."

As soon as he said it, he reacted: "I understand, Old Pig, the Tathagata Buddha is the emperor, and Maitreya is the prince. On the surface, the prince and the emperor are one family, but if the emperor doesn't die, how can the prince take the throne? So naturally, they won't help each other, but will try to profit from it and weaken the enemy to strengthen themselves."

Tianming nodded.

"This Maitreya is very scheming. He is helping us just to suppress the interests of Buddhism, thereby weakening the emperor above him, so that he can achieve enlightenment sooner!"

"Second Brother, this is just the second meaning of Maitreya and Huang Mei this time."

"This last stage means that Huang Mei was called down the mountain for the first time. This was in accordance with the wishes of the Heavenly Court and Lingshan Mountain. He personally went down to educate the demon monkey and trained and recruited a suitable and obedient thug for them."

"This time, we subdue and avenge the gods who helped you in your quest for scriptures in order to eliminate the followers of the Great Sage. This is to prevent you from weakening the power of Lingshan and the Heavenly Court, and then their power will expand, making it impossible for him to control them."

After hearing these words, Zhu Bajie finally realized that Maitreya was very thoughtful. He was worthy of being the future Buddha. Compared with Tathagata, he was no less thoughtful.

A smile hiding a dagger can make people feel cold in their backs.

After that, Tianming walked slowly into the temple, and asked Zhu Bajie as he walked: "Second Brother, where are the monk and Bujing from the sea?"

Zhu Bajie picked up the rake, put it on his shoulder, and answered nonchalantly.

"What sea monk? It's just a Heluo fish monster with one head and ten tails. The fish monster can throw ice with its body and smash it with the weird magic it learned. It can hit people with great accuracy. It's really difficult to deal with."

"But after he froze the old pig, the bastard was lazy and didn't come forward to attack me. The Green-backed Dragon showed up in time and killed them all with two swords."

Zhu Bajie patted his belly proudly.

Tianming seemed to have expected this and continued to walk inside calmly.

Zhu Bajie asked him curiously, "Are you going to save Princess Wansheng?"

Tianming touched the gourd on his waist and said calmly, "Princess Wansheng now has the body of a dragon. I ate so many golden pills, but I was still bitten by her. How can a mere Bukong be her opponent?"

"The monsters you encountered are all big monsters. It's more important for me to collect their spirits first."

Zhu Bajie followed him and complained loudly: "You are really obsessed with money and treasures. No wonder you are possessed by the devil."

"Hey, which way are you going? The monster that I killed is over here." Zhu Bajing pointed in another direction.

Tianming did not look back, but continued to walk in a different direction, and said to Zhu Bajie: "The old monk went over here to fight against the demon general Jie Bo."

Zhu Bajie was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "I saw that you usually speak nonsense, but I didn't expect that you are quite understanding at the critical moment. You knew that the old monk was in poor health, so you went to save him first!"

"what?"

Tianming was not able to react for a while. He said to Zhu Bajie, "That old monk can deceive even you and me. He is very cunning. How can a mere demon general defeat him?"

"I'm afraid that he's a monk who's used to talking nonsense, and he'll send the demon general to heaven after he kills him. Then won't my spirit and magical powers be gone?"

"Besides, I have promised Prince Xiao Zhang that I would exchange their liberation for magic weapons. If the credit is taken away by that old monk, I will pay with his monkey life."

When Zhu Bajie heard this, he was immediately disappointed and ran after him, cursing loudly!

"You monkey! You are so greedy! I, Old Pig, was a little impressed by you just now! You are really not even as good as a hair on the monkey's buttocks of Senior Brother!"
