Journey to the West from Daqin

"Strictly speaking, the relationship between you and me is nothing more than meeting by chance. As for Saint Zhunti, I didn't have any sense of him before I jumped out of the rock, and I haven't seen him since I got out of the rock. His traces, until now, everything I have depends on my master, and I have what I am now."

Taishang Laojun said: "What do you want?"

Wukong said: "I just want to tell you that I am very grateful for your preaching for me, but neither you nor Saint Zhunti are my parents. Strictly speaking, my parents are Saint Nuwa."

Taishang Laojun thought for a while, then smiled and said: "If you really think so, then there is nothing wrong."

Just now.

Li Jue interrupted the conversation between the two, and said: "Let me just say, the saint Laojun and the saint Nuwa both have the kindness of their parents to Wukong, the saint Zhunti and the ancestor Bodhi were originally one person, and they can be regarded as Wukong's mentors. .”

As soon as this remark came out, Taishang Laojun frowned, while Monkey King's eyes lit up.

Li Jue continued, "Wukong practiced with Patriarch Bodhi and practiced the ritual of a disciple, so he and Patriarch Bodhi are naturally a master-student relationship, and Patriarch Bodhi is the clone of the Zhunti sage. The two can be compared in the same day."

Subsequently.

He looked at Taishang Laojun, and said deeply: "Laojun saint, I think the reason why you gave Wukong to Zhunti saint may be because you felt that you owed them favors during the Conferred God War, so you reluctantly gave up."

Seeing that the Taishang Laojun was silent, Li Jue continued: "But you also have to think about it. During the Conferred God War, Western Buddhism has already gained huge benefits. They participated in this war and also gained Huge benefits, you don't actually owe them anything."

Seeing some changes in Taishang Laojun's eyes, Li Jue hit the iron while it was hot: "Even strictly speaking, Western Buddhism owes you favors. After all, the Conferred God War was a matter of your three brothers closing their doors, and they turned out to be Western Buddhism. Buddhism, but intervened."

Taishang Laojun sighed, "You are really a smart person, I really can't imagine that you have been born for only a few decades, and it took only a short ten years for you to become a fairy from a mortal. It’s rare, but it’s appalling to have such insight.”

Li Jue blushed. He was able to make such an appraisal only because of his foresight.

The Taishang Laojun knew that Li Jue had seen through everything, if he still kept it hidden, he would be a little inferior.

Then he simply said: "I did give up Huaguo Mountain for this reason before. But you don't understand at all, and there are various other factors in it."

"And no matter what, today's Wukong has already been branded as a Buddhist, and he is regarded as the meat of the Buddha's plate, and he can't escape this destiny at all."

He took a deep look at Sun Wukong, "I am sorry for you, but if you can really join Buddhism, your achievements will not be worse than what I am now."

Taishang Laojun is a clone of a saint, not yet at the level of a saint, but definitely stronger than most Da Luo Jinxians.

And he still feels that Wukong's future can reach his current achievements, so one can imagine how terrible Sun Wukong's future will be.

Li Jue understood that if Wukong really joined the Buddhist sect, he would finally participate in the Western Paradise to learn scriptures. After seeking the scriptures, he would achieve the Buddhahood.

This is the origin of Monkey King in Buddhism, and Buddhism also reached its peak because of Monkey King and Tang Seng seeking the scriptures.

But everything in the world will turn from decline to prosperity, and then from prosperity to decline, in a causal cycle.

Buddhism cannot escape this law.

Therefore, after the peak of Monkey King and Tang Seng seeking the scriptures, Buddhism will start to go downhill and encounter Wutian Demon Tribulation.

This catastrophe almost swept across the entire Buddhist sect, almost ruining Lingshan.

Later, Sun Wukong united with experts from all walks of life in Buddhism and Taoism, and finally defeated Wutian with a biochemical boneless relic, ending the catastrophe.

Because of this, Sun Wukong achieved a greater fruit status and became the most powerful existence in Buddhism except saints.

The Taishang Laojun naturally can't calculate such a distant future, but it is not unusual for him to be able to see the future of Monkey King.

So he guessed that Sun Wukong's achievements are by no means inferior to him, not to boast, but to tell the truth.

Li Jue smiled, "If Wukong joins Buddhism, his future achievements will not be ahead of yours. It is indeed possible; but if he is guided by you now and continues to grow, will he surpass you in the future?"

Taishang Laojun was silent for a moment.

Because he never thought about taking Monkey King back into his command, let alone guiding Monkey King's subsequent practice.

So he never expected what Sun Wukong would achieve in the future if he continued to follow him.

Taishang Laojun secretly estimated that if Sun Wukong continued to follow him, not to mention his future achievements, but there would be a catastrophe between Buddhism and Taoism, sweeping the Three Realms.

But in this catastrophe, the Journey to the West catastrophe seemed insignificant.

The Taishang Laojun didn't want the Three Realms to be involved in the disputes again. After all, the Conferred Gods War had just passed, and if a dispute between Buddhism and Daoism broke out, people might be devastated.

So Taishang Laojun shook his head and was about to reject Li Jue.

Li Jue said again: "May I ask the old gentleman, if you can't figure it out, if Wukong follows you and continues to practice immortality, what will be his future achievements?"

Taishang Laojun was silent, he really couldn't figure it out.

Li Jue said: "If you can't calculate it, it proves that Wukong's future has infinite possibilities, even if he surpasses you, it is still possible."

The Taishang Laojun instinctively wanted to deny it, because if you surpass him, you will reach the realm of a saint, and it is almost impossible for the world to become a saint!

but.

He didn't say much.

Li Jue said again: "I want to ask the old gentleman, do you expect that when Wukong came to steal your elixir, he would have the strength he has now?"

Taishang Laojun shook his head and said, "His strength is indeed beyond my imagination. I thought he would come here with only the peak strength of Taiyi True Immortal. After eating the elixir, he would have a chance to become a Golden Immortal."

"However, I didn't expect that by chance, he would have already cultivated to become a high-ranking Golden Immortal. Instead, he ate more elixir and became stronger when he came here."

Speaking of this, he was a little relieved.

Because the more Wukong ate, the stronger he became, and the less guilt he felt in his heart.

Li Jue said: "That's because Wukong has unlimited possibilities when he follows me."

Taishang Laojun took a deep look at Li Jue, and then nodded in agreement, "You are really an outlier, I can't see through you."

"If you were in the prehistoric period, you would definitely be eradicated by the world."

Li Jue smiled embarrassingly, but at the same time he was a little thankful that he was born in this era.

Taishang Laojun said: "No matter what you say you broke the sky, I still won't keep this monkey head by my side."

Li Jue said: "It is not necessary for the saint Laojun to keep him by his side, it is only necessary for Laojun not to push him into the fire pit."

Taishang Laojun was silent again.

Li Jue said: "I'm afraid the old sage wants Wukong to steal the elixir to make up for the sins in his heart. After this incident, he will report the stolen elixir and force the Heavenly Court to turn against Wukong, and finally let Wukong make a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace. Then let the Heavenly Court invite the Western Supreme to suppress Wukong, and finally Wukong was forced to join Buddhism in desperation."

Taishang Laojun looked at Li Jue as if he had seen a ghost.

Dare to say a word that doesn't match his identity, "You kid, you can actually see this layer!"

Li Jue knew from Taishang Laojun's reaction that he made the right bet!

and so.

He became more determined.

With a mysterious smile, he said, "Then, is Laojun sage willing to believe that I can give Wukong a better future?"

Then he said: "But there is a premise, that is, you can't push Wukong and me into the fire pit!"

Taishang Laojun's eyes flickered, and his heart was complicated. It was obvious that he was engaged in a battle between heaven and man.

After looking at Wukong and then at Li Jue, he seemed to have made a decision in the end.

"But I have no way to give an explanation to Buddhism." Taishang Laojun let out a long sigh.

Chapter 510 Seventh, I Come to Unravel the Saint

Li Jue knew from Taishang Laojun's words that his heart had softened.

Or rather moved.

After Taishang Laojun finished speaking, he also regretted a little.

How could I be so emotional that I was unknowingly drawn in by Li Jue, and spoke out what was in my heart.

But the words have been spoken and cannot be changed.

Taishang Laojun can be regarded as a free and easy person, otherwise, in the original trajectory, he would not have been eaten so many elixir by Monkey King, and he would have helped him subdue demons and demons several times, and become a teacher and friend with him.

It is conceivable that Taishang Laojun really prefers Monkey King.

That was the case when Sun Wukong was pushed to Buddhism by him. It might be better if Sun Wukong could continue to follow Taishang Laojun.

Now that the Taishang Laojun has changed his mind and said what is in his heart, Li Jue's guess is even more affirmed.

What Li Jue needs to do is to dispel the concerns of the Supreme Lord.

As long as you don't make Taishang Laojun feel ashamed of Buddhism.

Li Jue said: "Actually, this junior has long been unable to figure it out. The Conferred God War is a matter of your three brothers closing the door. It should be a favor they owe you for him to intervene in Buddhism and profit from it."

Taishang Laojun hesitated to speak, finally let out a long sigh and shook his head, "You don't understand the reason at all."

Li Jue asked Sun Wukong to step back, leaving only him and Taishang Laojun sitting opposite each other.

Then Li Jue said: "The saint should not only be in the battle of conferring gods, but let the Western Buddhism take action, isn't it that simple?"

Taishang Laojun remained silent. If it was really that simple, he would not hand over Sun Wukong to others.

Li Jue continued: "Let the younger generation guess, is it because the sage personally sent Taoist Duobao out of Hangu Pass to join the Buddhist sect, so he thinks he owes the Buddhist sect a favor?"

There was a light in Taishang Laojun's eyes, and then he said leisurely: "There are too many things in this world, even a saint can't figure it out. The world is so ignorant, I really can't figure it out. How do you know so many things? of."

Li Jue was not a talkative person in the first place, so he just kept many things in his heart. Sometimes ignorance is a kind of blessing.

but.

Taishang Laojun's attitude towards Monkey King is very important, and now it is not only related to Monkey King's personal fate, but also related to his personal life and death of Li Jue.

After all, he and Sun Wukong ate the elixir together in this Tushi Palace. If Taishang Laojun really wanted to report the crime, the Jade Emperor would not only attack Monkey King, but also take him into action.

At that time, Buddhism will not mind, he was suppressed together with Monkey King, and then forced into prostitution.

So he had to tell what he knew, let Taishang Laojun see his value, and unlock Taishang Laojun's heart.

There was a turning point in this matter.

Li Jue said with a smile: "No one has ever been born knowing it, even the younger generation has no such possibility."

Taishang Laojun looked Li Jue up and down, since no one can know it by birth, how could Li Jue know so many important things! ?

However, everyone has their own secrets. Li Jue must have more secrets that are unknown to everyone who has grown from an ordinary person to a golden immortal with 10 years of magic power.

Taishang Laojun is not a person who breaks the casserole and asks the end. As long as he can know the value of Li Jue, that is enough.

In fact, after talking with Li Jue for so long, he could clearly feel that Li Jue is indeed a rare evildoer.

Such a monstrous person, even the Supreme Lord, had other thoughts in his heart.
