if this is the saint

"Tang Sanzang..."

When Tang Seng opened his eyes in a daze, he was already in a white and empty space, and in front of his eyes was a huge and solemn Buddha.

This is the first time Tang Seng faced Tathagata Buddha directly. It was so exciting. Tang Seng clasped his hands together and saluted solemnly, "Buddha."

The sacred Buddha's light purified all the distracting thoughts in his heart, and his heart returned to the original calm, and those struggling thoughts that could not be controlled seemed to disappear in an instant.

The Buddha's face was expressionless, like a stone statue, "Tang Sanzang, do you know that you have been deceived by a demon."

The scene of getting along with Sun Wukong emerged in his memory, he was actually with his apprentice... Tang Seng felt that it was extremely absurd, he didn't dare to raise his head, and lowered his eyes deeply, "I don't know."

"Your Buddha's heart is clear, if there is no flaw in your original heart, you should not be afraid of any monsters."

"The disciple knows that he is wrong, it is only because the disciple has a doubt in his heart, and he has never been able to solve it."

Buddha asked: "Why?"

"After seeing the face of my apprentice Sun Wukong for the first time, the disciple would often be in a trance, as if he was very familiar with that face in his previous life, and even some scenes that the disciple had never experienced would appear in his sleep. It was as real as his personal experience, Buddha. Compassionate, I still hope to clear up my disciples' doubts."

The Buddha lowered his head, and the compassionate gaze made Tang Seng feel as if he had been crushed by a mountain even if he didn't look directly at it. "This matter should have passed away with the wind, but now that it has become a hindrance to your heart, I should tell you."

Tathagata was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and said: "About 750 years ago, Sun Wukong, who was only born for more than [-] years, was called the Monkey King for [-] years. After that, he decided to give up the throne and go out to learn art. , worship Bodhi Patriarch as a teacher, and learn supernatural powers."

Tathagata's narration is without a trace of emotion, and his compassionate eyes are like a frozen painting, without any change, but what he says, no matter how cold and hard, is full of Buddha nature, "Jin Chanzi, since I am here The second disciple is also Bodhi who taught Sun Wukong supernatural powers, and you, Tang Sanzang, are the reincarnation of that golden cicada."

If there is anything more absurd than Tang Seng's thoughts on Sun Wukong, it is probably the so-called truth that he heard from the Tathagata Buddha at this time. At that moment, Tang Seng really felt that even his soul was out of the world. Dream, he would rather this is the real dream, and now the Buddha he believes in is in front of him, but it is even more difficult for him to feel real.

"So, your familiarity with Monkey King is not without reason."

Tang Seng's tone was a little erratic, and the shock in his heart had completely covered up his shock of being met by the Tathagata Buddha in person, "I am a golden cicada, and I am Bodhi?"

"You are not Bodhi, but the Bodhi who taught Sun Wukong is you."

Tang Seng understood that it was Jin Chanzi who pretended to be Bodhi, but why?

"Don't look for the reasons of the past, this seat can tell you, only these, and the rest, when you complete the task of learning scriptures from the west and return to Buddhism, you will naturally know. The reason why I tell you this now is just to make your Buddha heart firm. It will be possible for the monster to take advantage of it again."

Tang Seng swallowed his doubts back, and then he found that his body was slowly getting weaker, so he couldn't help stretching out his palm, forgiving him for not seeing this kind of world with the knowledge of a mortal.

Tathagata can use this space to summon Tang Seng and spend a lot of time talking. After receiving the news that Monkey King has left and Tang Seng has been arrested, the first thing he wanted to call was Monkey King, but Monkey King refused directly and forcefully. The situation is urgent. , he could only directly pull Tang Sanzang's soul into his domain, avoiding the collapse of his Buddha heart.

"Tang Sanzang, although you are the reincarnation of the golden cicada, you have waited for this opportunity for nine lifetimes. Don't miss yourself or others because of a mistake in one thought. Today's situation will not happen again. I hope, The next time I see you, it will be at Daleiyin Temple..."

After the Tathagata sent the man away, he slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was Avalokitesvara sitting on the lotus platform. He was dressed in snow-white Buddha clothes and his black hair was slightly curled up. At this moment, he looked like a male Bodhisattva. After noticing his movement, He looked up with concern.

There are only a handful of people who have seen the real body of this young Buddha, Guanyin is one of them, "It's all right, but Monkey King may not go back easily, if it is really impossible, I may have to trouble Guanyin to go again .”

Avalokitesvara nodded, "Disciple understands." He often appears in the outside world in the form of a transformed body, because there are very few people who can know the real appearance of Avalokitesvara, and those who know his true gender don't even need to point fingers. The one and only.

With their relationship as both teachers and friends, he also knew the events of those years very closely.

--------------

Thousands of years ago, the Heavenly Court was powerful, and the Jade Emperor's power represented the prosperity of Taoism. If Buddhism wanted to grow, it had to find another way.

Tathagata has searched for the law for many years, and finally waited for the stone monkey that was transformed from the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth.

This stone monkey is transformed from the five-colored god stone that has absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon for many years. It is something that Nuwa has handled. How can it be ordinary?

At that time, the stone monkey was born with a ignorant mind.The Tathagata approached him like an amiable elder, held his hand and taught him a little bit, and he quickly gained trust.

The Tathagata told the stone monkey that he would be born, grow old, get sick and die one day, and only if he learned the supreme supernatural power, although he could not live as long as the sky, he could not be inferior to the gods in the sky.

So the stone monkey resolutely gave up his comfortable life as a monkey king and embarked on the road of seeking immortals and asking questions.

Many times to no avail, until guided by the Tathagata, I came to Hezhou, Xiniu, and worshiped Bodhi transformed by the golden cicada as my teacher.

Tathagata's approach to Sun Wukong is very secretive, but if he accepts the stone monkey into Buddhism, he will soon attract the attention of interested people. At that time, the stone monkey should not have too much involvement with Buddhism.

But Bodhi has always been a god-dragon, so it's okay to borrow his name. In addition, he gave the stone monkey a strict and righteous order afterwards, "Don't reveal his master's heritage", so the world can see that Sun Wukong's supernatural powers are related to Taoism. But couldn't find the way.

However, what I didn't expect was that after Jin Chanzi was ordered by the Tathagata to incarnate Bodhi to teach the stone monkey, he developed a teacher-student relationship with the stone monkey at that time. He did not approve of the Tathagata's manipulation and use of the stone monkey. In the face of the arhat, he debated wildly with the Tathagata, and was angered by the Tathagata on the grounds of belittling Buddhism, and demoted his true soul to reincarnate in the Eastern Land. He sincerely repented and converted in the future.

After Monkey King wandered around and returned to the Bone Cave Mansion, what he saw was a bone spirit at the entrance of the cave that looked like it had been abandoned by its owner.

Biting the peach he found at random, Monkey King walked over unhurriedly, staring at the bones sitting on the ground, "What are you doing here?"

Bone raised his head, his pitiful eyes made the hairs on Monkey King's back stand on end, "Xiaokong~ I thought you were gone~"

Monkey King stepped over the people and walked directly into the cave, but he did find something interesting, "Well, I didn't sleep well, so I went out to visit your mountain."

Bone Essence followed up, "Then...then next time, can I follow?"

Monkey King stopped suddenly, and the peaches were discarded after being eaten, "There will be no next time."

Bai Gu couldn't care less about pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy, and came to Monkey King with a very ugly face. He wanted to hold Monkey King's hand, but he was afraid that the other party would be disgusted, so he could only stand in front of the other party, "You... really want to leave?"

Sun Wukong stared fixedly at the bones, the uneasiness and panic inside seemed to have appeared more often after this meeting, he directly led the person to continue into the cave, and Sun Wukong corrected: "It's not me, it's us!"

The white bone was actively held by Monkey King, and his heart was already full of joy. How could he still think of Monkey King's departure, and he was quietly turning the hands of the two into interlocking fingers, and then he was smashed into fireworks in front of him by greater happiness Suddenly, he pulled him back suddenly, staring at Sun Wukong with a pair of bright eyes and confirming: "You want to take me away?"

Sun Wukong was pulled back suddenly and almost staggered. At this moment, he pushed his head away in annoyance, "I won't force you if you don't want to go."

"Think about it! I really want to! I don't force it at all!" Afraid that Monkey King would be overwhelmed, Bone quickly responded.

Monkey King continued in his footsteps, "I think your ecstasy method must have failed, so leave Tang Seng here, pass your seat to a stronger demon, and then pack up, we're going back to Huaguo Mountain now!"

Bone tightly grasped Sun Wukong's hand, his whole heart turned into a sugar bowl, the smile on his face broke the skin again and he didn't care about it, the corners of his mouth were cracked, and he paused when he heard Sun Wukong's words, "Back... back to Huaguo Mountain?"

Monkey King knew what Bai Gu was thinking about, so he responded softly, "Well, let's go back to Huaguo Mountain together."

"Okay!" Bai Gu's smile remained the same, and he was always happy to be able to go back there with Monkey King.

When he left Baihuling with his luggage on his back, Bone was still holding Sun Wukong's hand tightly, and he would not let go even if he was disgusted by Sun Wukong. I am very happy that you can take me away, but why are you in such a hurry? Is it because you are afraid that... the Tathagata will come?"

He didn't take Monkey King's telling Zhu Bajie and the others about the location of the cave, who knows what the mysterious man's intention was when he told him about it.

"Tathagata? He can't come!" Sun Wukong was determined, the confidence in his eyes seemed to be shining, "Once Tang Sanzang's Buddhist heart is destroyed, his plan to learn scriptures will fail. In this case, he didn't come immediately. Stop it, maybe because he can't get out of his Daleiyin Temple at all, so he can only use other methods to indirectly save Tang Seng's Buddha's heart." In fact, he came to him indirectly.

"So, you just want to test him this time?" Bone looked at Sun Wukong with staring eyes, thinking that his Akong was simply too powerful.

Sun Wukong pondered, "Although he won't come, but when Zhu Bajie and the others rescued Tang Seng, the people he sent should arrive soon. Eight out of ten will be Guanyin."

"Then... do you want to go back?" Bone hesitated for a long time, but asked again.

Sun Wukong turned his head, "The Tathagata will not allow less people on the trip to learn the scriptures. It is because I haven't returned to Huaguo Mountain for a long time, and the only place I can go back is here."
