Me and countless me

Being a disciple and seeking the right result has always been the only right path for those who have no background.

Because every place pays attention to factions and groups, even the Heaven and the West are no exception.

That's why Li Ke wants to travel to the West, to walk the journey to the West, to lure those people to stretch out their claws, and then kill them all!

In this process, the more capable companions, the better.

He doesn't care about the grievances between the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. After all, it's just a fight for the right to speak and resources.

After all, worshiping Buddha and believing in gods is to make oneself more perfect.

So he wants to subdue Monkey, so Monkey wants to find him to be his disciple.

Both of them have demands.

Therefore, Monkey's attitude towards Li Ke is also quite frank. When walking on the road, he couldn't help but tease Li Ke.

"Master, why don't you find a mount? You are a mortal now, and you can't eat it."

Monkey looked at Li Ke and asked worriedly.

In his opinion, Li Ke had lost his magic power. Although he still had brute force, his endurance would inevitably decrease. The journey to the west was not so easy to complete, so it was best to find a good mount for Li Ke to avoid headaches and delays.

"It doesn't matter. What's more, with the hardships and obstacles of the journey to the west, riding ordinary mounts is equivalent to letting them die. There is no need for the master to let them die in vain."

Li Ke looked at the map in his hand, then nodded, took out the charcoal pencil he carried with him, picked up some cloth pieces he carried with him, drew the mountains and rivers he had seen before, and wrote down the local forces he had asked about before, and put them in his backpack.

He planned to let Sun Wukong send this thing to the Tang Dynasty when he was begging for alms after arriving at Gao Laozhuang. After all, although he gave him a map that he had nothing to do, many of them were news from hundreds of years ago, and some big monsters and kingdoms had been updated.

So if you use it, it's best to use the latest news.

This is first-hand information.

Especially the one he created in the battle with Sun Wukong, there are now at least a thousand miles of lakes and plains. There is now a lot of spiritual energy and flat terrain there, and because of his forbidden moves, there are a lot of shallow iron ore, which can be said to be a good place for development.

If the Tang Dynasty cannot take it down in the first place, it is estimated that a city will appear in less than ten years, and a dynasty will be formed after more than a hundred years.

Such risks are unnecessary.

It is best to let the Tang Dynasty take it down as soon as possible and use it to reward soldiers.

After all, for the Central Plains, arable land has always been scarce. Anyway, this is also the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the future, so just take it early.

Li Ke thought and thought, and passed by a pond with Sun Wukong. After marking the pond again so that the army could come to get water, Li Ke continued to walk.

Sun Wukong looked at the little white dragon under the water, which was looking at them with fear. His hands started to itch a little. However, the dragon didn't have any evil thoughts, so he thought it was not the kind of person who would harm living beings at will. He was on guard to prevent Li Ke, who was now in a mortal body, from getting into trouble.

The little white dragon in the pool thought the same. He looked at Li Ke, who had white hair, wore a white monk's robe, and held a whisk in his hand, and then looked at Sun Wukong, who was in golden armor. He thought for a while and nodded.

"Well, this shouldn't be a monk."

In his cognition, monks were all hairless. Even if they had hair, they were all like small stones, which were proof of merit and magic power.

But this white-haired man had no other symbols of a Buddhist except for the lotus in his eyebrows and the incongruous white monk's robe.

I don't know why, but just by looking at this Tang Monk, the little white dragon knew that if he robbed the other party, he would definitely die miserably!

"The Bodhisattva said that Jin Chanzi hates evil as much as his enemies. Even if it's a robbery, he will kill it with one palm. Although I feel bad recently, let's forget it."

Touching his belly, Xiao Bailong sighed.

He and his father are basically no longer friends, and the same is true with his wife, not to mention his friends and relatives. It's just that Guanyin Bodhisattva pity him, otherwise he would have died long ago.

So after being enlightened by Guanyin, he has been waiting here, waiting for Tang Monk to come, but he has been waiting here, but he can't wait for Tang Monk, which makes him depressed and he has started to overeat recently.

At first, it was okay. Although he had broken off his relationship with his father, the jewelry on his body could still be sold for a little price to exchange for fine wine and food, but as time went on, his money was naturally spent.

In the past, the worst that could happen was to rob, grab two baskets of buns, and then give some coral or other garbage to settle the matter, but now it’s not possible...

So Xiaobailong was thinking about whether he should rob houses and steal some animals to eat, but every time he wanted to do it, he would think of Guanyin’s teachings and choose to give up.

So, Xiaobailong, who suppressed his desire, stopped looking at Li Ke and Sun Wukong, and looked in the direction of Datang, and started to chatter like Xianglin Sao.

"Jin Chanzi, Jin Chanzi, when are you coming?"

"A-choo!"

Li Ke, who left the pool where Xiaobailong was with the monkey, sneezed suddenly, and the monkey immediately came over and looked at Li Ke helplessly.

"Master, look at you, why are you bothering? Are you starting to catch a cold now? Let's go, let's go. When I was knocked away by you, I saw a gorgeous temple. Let's go there to rest and rest."

Taking Li Ke's hand, Sun Wukong dragged him towards a temple, and Li Ke was embarrassed to tell Sun Wukong that he had mastered some yin and yang Qi because of the dark Li Ke, so eighteen He could recover his whole body in a short time. After all, he still needed to use this to fool some people, so he could only let Sun Wukong pull him and walk towards the temple.

Regarding this temple, Li Ke actually knew exactly where it was.

Guanyin Temple.

A place where elders are obsessed with wealth and treasures to the point of being unable to obtain true liberation and the Great Way, and strictly speaking, the people here are disciples of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

However, it is a pity that Elder Jinchi has evil intentions.

Li Ke tied one hand on his chest and looked at the magnificent Guanyin Temple. After being silent for a while, he spoke to Sun Wukong.

"Wukong, when I ask you to do it later, remember to use mind-reading skills. If you don't have much malice towards us, just for glory, wealth and future, or even follow the orders of Master to kill us. , just show my Buddha’s mercy and don’t kill all the nine tribes.”

Sun Wukong nodded subconsciously before reacting.

"No, Master! What did you say?"

After taking out his own ears, Sun Wukong wondered if he had suffered the same eye disease as Lao Jun, and his ears that were hammered by Li Ke were no longer functioning properly.

What does it mean to show the mercy of our Buddha? Don't kill their nine tribes as well.

Did you go to this temple to destroy your family? ! !

People are messing with you!

Sun Wukong couldn't help but sweat profusely.

He never expected that Li Ke would be so murderous!

So Sun Wukong spoke quickly to confirm what was going on with Li Ke: "No, Master, we are asking for a place to rest and ask for help. And seeing that this place is majestic and resplendent, I think the host here is also a wise man." He’s a great man, I guess he’s not a strongman who robbed families, so why did he kill the whole family for no reason?”

He really didn't understand, and Li Ke couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the Guanyin Temple in front of him.

There is actually an allusion to the burning of Guanyin Temple.

That is the allusion of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng.

Everyone knows the allusion of the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng that Bodhi has no tree and a mirror has no stand. But the person he killed instantly with these words was Shenxiu, the most powerful disciple in the entire temple at that time. As a result, Shenxiu and Huineng began to have a rift. When their master passed away and passed on the cassock representing the abbot's identity to Huineng, Shenxiu quit.

He began to lead people to hunt down Huineng. When Huineng fled to the mountain with his cassock, he set fire to the mountain, intending to kill and silence Huineng and take away Huineng's cassock.

Shenxiu is an eminent monk and wants the cassock. He wants the cassock that Huineng can get, or the qualification.

And Jinchi is also an eminent monk and also wants the cassock.

Therefore, when Li Ke looked at Guanyin Temple, he seemed to see Elder Jinchi who had lived for more than two hundred years, had everything, and could become an immortal and attain Taoism through step-by-step practice.

His greed is proven in the original work.

Li Ke also guessed his motives.

His obsession will only turn everything into ashes.

So Li Ke explained to Sun Wukong.

"Your master and I set out on the road with a cassock. This cassock is not only an honor, but also recognition, and a symbol. It also represents the right to do something. I don't care about this cassock, because even without him ”

Li Ke looked at Guanyin Temple, sighed and spoke.

"But the funny thing is that those who covet him have no qualifications for this cassock. People who do not covet him are the same whether they have this cassock or not. It's just that countless people can't see this clearly. They will do it at all costs. Fight for it, grab it, even if you give up your own persistence, pollute your personality and soul, give up your persistence, and destroy your own practice, you have to fight for this cassock."

After a pause, Li Ke looked at Zhi Ke Monk, who was walking quickly, and couldn't help but sigh again.

"And the people around him will support him unconditionally because they admire him or can benefit from him, so that he can't see the truth clearly and comfort himself that he is not wrong. Only when everything is irreversible can they support him. You will wake up and realize that your actions harm others and yourself.”

Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and spoke.

"Then Master, how can I be awake now? I am obviously scared and know that I am going to die."

"That's right, so I want you to show your force, use your skills, collect our treasures, and not take the initiative to test the humanity of others to prevent me from having to kill everyone here. In this way, he still There is a chance to achieve good results and follow the right path, instead of going crazy because of a wrong thought.”

After Li Ke finished speaking, he shut up and stopped talking. Sun Wukong also directly clenched the golden hoop in his hand. He understood what Li Ke meant.

Since you know that the people here cannot stand the test, then don't test them. Since they have been able to stick to their hearts before encountering fatal temptations, then don't actively give them temptations and just let them continue like this. .

Just seeing Li Ke and Sun Wukong, the monk Zhike who came out was stunned for a moment, because he saw that Li Ke also had elements of Buddhism in his body.

Especially the lotus mark between the eyebrows is something that only enlightened monks can have. The sword on the back is also inlaid with the Seven Treasures of Buddhism. Although the moon-white monk's robe is a bit ordinary, it is spotless. At a glance, you can tell that he is an accomplished scholar.

Therefore, Zhike Monk didn't know whether Li Ke was a monk or a layman, so he spoke hesitantly.

"Two...donors?"

Li Ke bowed and performed a Buddhist salute, but took out some money from his pocket and handed it to the Zhike monk in front of him.

"The two of us are passing by here and want to rest here for a night. These are incense money. I wonder if we can be accommodating."

Zhike Monk looked at the money handed over by Li Ke and showed a happy look on his face. However, when he saw Sun Wukong behind Li Ke, he showed a troubled look on his face.

"Okay, okay, it's just that you, the donor, are dressed like this. You should be a senior monk, right? If you are a senior monk, the incense money will be waived. You can also exchange Buddhist Dharma with our abbot, and you can also get some travel expenses when you leave. . But this rough-faced and thunderous general... please remove your armor if you enter a temple. After all, Buddhism is a pure place..."

Li Ke and Sun Wukong were both stunned for a moment. Sun Wukong looked at the golden armor on his body and secretly wondered why he had forgotten this. Could it be that he felt too insecure walking with Li Ke, so he subconsciously wore it all over his body?

But he wasn’t upset, he just glared at the Zhike monk in front of him, and then turned around. The robes on his body had disappeared, leaving only a yellow monk’s robe and a yellow monk’s hat on his head. Surprisingly, The monk couldn't help but screamed in surprise.

"It turns out he is a capable eminent monk! Come in, please! Come in, please! Go and invite the abbot! An eminent monk with magical powers is here today!"

The monk Zhike exclaimed and asked the monks around him to inform the abbot, while Sun Wukong smiled proudly.

"Hmph, let me show you what I am capable of!"

He hated the idea of ​​someone looking down upon others, so he showed off a bit.

Li Ke, on the other hand, smiled and looked at Sun Wukong, who had exposed their identity as a monk because of his showoff. In front of Sun Wukong's proud smile, he slowly stretched out his hand, and then took on the form of a dragon claw hand.

The smile on Sun Wukong's face disappeared.
