Journey to the West: Stone Heart and Stone Edge

Patriarch Bodhi is not eloquent, but Tathagata Buddha never doubts the threat of what he said.

In other words, this is not a threat from Patriarch Bodhi, he is just stating a fact that may happen.

If it gets to that point, not to mention that Lingshan and Fangcunshan will definitely be immortal, and the whole Xiniu Hezhou will be affected.But if Sun Wukong was let go, as Dapeng said, Lingshan would suffer a lot.

Tathagata Buddha thought for a long time, and finally sighed, "Let me think about it for a night, how about it?"

Patriarch Bodhi slightly raised his eyebrows.

"I have to explain to everyone in Lingshan."

Anyone can hear the compromise in Tathagata's words.

The patriarch lowered his gaze and replied, "One night."

The deadlocked situation was temporarily silenced and calmed down.

"They're deceiving people too much," Dapeng pulled his six ears back very rudely, feeling extremely unwilling, "If we agree, not only will Lingshan lose all face, but everything we did before will be useless!"

When Maitreya was not smiling, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his eyebrows were very kind and kind, "Subhuti is a foreigner, this matter has angered him, it is really not good for Lingshan."

"I don't believe it, those who inherit the luck are innocent mortals, he dares to kill indiscriminately, hmph, even if he really dares, I'm afraid Heaven will not spare him!"

Tathagata glanced at Dapeng helplessly, "Did he ever kill mortals when his disciples stopped him?"

Dapeng was furious for a while, but he also realized when he heard this remark, there is no need to kill innocent people indiscriminately, everyone in Lingshan, who can find the person who will inherit the fate under Subhuti's obstruction.

But it was really displeased with the tightness in his chest. Dapeng grabbed his six ears and laughed, "It seems that your master and ancestor don't care much about your life."

It will not do much to sow dissension, Dapeng is just venting his emotions, and it is nothing more than a blockage for the six ears.

Liu Er squinted his eyes, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, spraying Dapeng's face.

"You're looking for death!" Dapeng was furious at this insulting behavior, and he smashed his six ears to the ground, intending to kill him.

But he was stopped by Tathagata Buddha, "Don't hurt him."

Dapeng was annoyed, "I can't even kill a little monster monkey! As long as Sun Wukong is still in our hands, Subhuti won't care about such insignificant characters. Even if they die, they won't do anything!"

Tathagata Buddha was noncommittal, but said lightly, "Take him back."

Maitreya put the six ears back into the human race bag according to his words, and after confirming that there was no one else here, he asked softly, "What does the Buddha intend to do?"

On the other side, Kong Xuan also complained to the patriarch very dissatisfied.

"Why agree to them? If it doesn't make sense tomorrow, it's hard to guarantee that they won't have to think about it for another day. This is obviously a delay."

The patriarch replied flatly, "I also need time to understand how to get rid of the golden post."

The golden post exists for a day, and it is a reliance of the Tathagata. Even if the problem of the Five Elements Mountain can be solved now, there is no guarantee that there will be no troubles in the future.Patriarch Bodhi is not a cruel and bloodthirsty person, even if it is the people of Lingshan, Patriarch Bodhi is not willing to really do it.

It's just that you must be strong and unquestionable on the face, so that Tathagata thinks that Patriarch Bodhi will be so cruel.

Kong Xuan curled his lips, "You have been studying for more than a year and haven't seen any results. Could it be that you can understand it tonight?"

Patriarch did not speak.

Ruyi was also a little uneasy, frowning, "I'm just worried, the golden-winged roc is a ruthless one, look at his appearance today, what if Lu Ling is tricked?"

"He dare not!" Kong Xuan comforted Ruyi, "The Tathagata will not allow him to act recklessly at this time."

Ruyi understood that Dapeng didn't dare to kill Liu'er, she was afraid that Dapeng would secretly torture Liu'er to vent his anger.

"Probably not." Seeing Ruyi's appearance, Honglian couldn't help but feel worried.

"Don't worry, if Dapeng really dares to do this, I will pluck out all his hairs and let Lu Ling vent his anger in the future." Kong Xuan felt that the Tathagata would not let Dapeng have any problems at this time, but the two were worried. , Immediately put down the words to make them feel at ease.

Ruyi only hoped that Lu Ling would really not suffer, but she also felt that she was too worried, Lingshan was at a disadvantage now, and she would not increase hatred in such trivial matters.

It's useless to think too much, Ruyi got up and said, "Master, I, I'll go and see Wukong." He must be very anxious at the foot of the mountain alone.

Before the patriarch said anything, Kong Xuan laughed, "I can't wait for only one night, oh, go ahead."

Ruyi's face flushed with embarrassment, but she didn't know how to refute, so she just gave him a blank look, turned and left.

"I think now, it's better when we were the two of us," Ruyi sat in front of Monkey King, the blush on her face hadn't completely faded, "Look at Senior Brother, he's always making jokes."

Sun Wukong grabbed Ruyi's hand and rubbed it against his face, "When I come out, I will accompany you to travel around the world, just the two of us."

Ruyi pursed the corners of her mouth that couldn't help but said deliberately, "The monkey grandson of Huaguo Mountain is still waiting for you, the king, to go back."

"Of course I have to go back." Monkey King put Ruyi's hand on his lips, "Take Lao Sun's queen back together."

"I don't care about being a queen." Ruyi looked away, duplicity.

Sun Wukong grinned, "It's okay if you don't want to be a queen, but you can be a female monkey and give birth to a little monkey from Huaguo Mountain for the old grandson."

Ruyi pouted, "I'll give you a little stone from Huaguo Mountain."

Sun Wukong nodded seriously, "That's just right, from now on it will not be called Huaguo Mountain, but Stone Mountain."

Ruyi was amused by him, Sun Wukong grabbed her hand, biting Ruyi's fingertips lightly, "How long is it until dawn?"

The closer it is to see the light, the more I feel that the night is extraordinarily long.

Sun Wukong looked up at the sky, his eyes were shining like stars in the sky.

Ruyi felt that Sun Wukong's eyes were much more beautiful than stars, "Soon, close your eyes and open them slowly, and tomorrow will be tomorrow."

Sun Wukong closed his eyes obediently, and said with a smile, "It's so good, when it dawns, just give me a kiss and I'll know."

Ruyi smiled and frowned, if kissing you would bring dawn, then I will kiss you now.

She slowly leaned down, even if it's not dawn, it's okay to kiss her.

The distance was more than an inch, but Ruyi stopped. Someone approached the Five Elements Mountain, but the breath of the other party was very pure.

"I'll take a look." Under the current coercion, there are still people approaching the Five Elements Mountain?

***

Nan Hua wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the Five Elements Mountain was right in front of him.Within a hundred li radius, all monsters, beasts and ghosts have disappeared. It seems that it is not too late for him to come.

Although Nanhua has always been dissatisfied with the way the patriarch taught his disciples, in his opinion, the patriarch's action for Monkey King this time is more important than everything before.

Fortunately, Ruyi who suddenly appeared did not know what Nanhua was thinking, otherwise Ruyi would probably be dissatisfied with Nanhua.In fact, these small awkwardnesses are not important, maybe the patriarch doesn't even care who Nan Hua is.

"I didn't expect you to come here." Ruyi was very happy to see Nan Hua, "Let's go see Master first."

"Don't be in a hurry." Nanhua actually didn't want to meet the patriarch, after all he escaped from the mountain privately, so it was not very good-looking anyway, "how is senior brother?"

"He's fine, Master has set up an enchantment around the Five Elements Mountain," Ruyi said, "Just wait until tomorrow morning to see what Tathagata and their decisions are."

"Then I'm relieved." Sure enough, as long as the Patriarch is willing to intervene, this matter is not a problem at all.

Seeing his hurried appearance, Ruyi wondered, "What's the matter with you coming here in such a hurry?"

Nanhua hesitated to speak, hesitated for a while before smiling, "It's okay to say it now, I have found a way to decipher the golden letter of faith."

Ruyi opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then asked happily, "What method?"

"Uh..." Nanhua asked without answering, "Even Master couldn't remove the golden post of Tathagata Buddha, do you know why?"

Ruyi nodded, "Because the golden post is transformed by the belief of the Buddhas."

"This is one of them, what else?"

"and also?"

"The second is that Master has never had any merit."

Ruyi lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "...I don't quite understand."

"Faith and merit are the two most important things for mortals to gods. Senior sister must know why people believe in the existence of gods and Buddhas, whether they are Taoists or Buddhists, why gods and Buddhas want to help everyone, punish evil and promote good, and make peace Disasters and disasters are solved. Because of the merits and virtues added to his body, he will ascend to immortality, and he will have great benefits after going through the catastrophe."

Ruyi nodded, Honglian has merits and virtues with her to protect her soul.

And Nanhua smiled, shaking his head in disapproval, "Master will only stay in Fangcun Mountain and will not participate in the disputes of the world, hehe, but he is not polluted by the world, how can he fight against the Tathagata who has thousands of followers?"

Ruyi frowned, even though what Nan Hua said was reasonable, the dissatisfaction with Master in his tone still made Ruyi uncomfortable.

However, Ruyi's attention was immediately occupied by more important things, "You said that this merit added to the body can break the golden post of the Five Elements Mountain?!"

"not enough."

Ruyi's eyes dimmed.

Nanhua didn't explain much, but let go of his consciousness directly, and let Ruyi take a closer look.

The fire of merit in his spiritual consciousness is not huge, but it is condensed and pure. Ruyi can even feel the inexhaustible devout gratitude, which is three points more refined than Honglian's.

Even if it is to live one person's life, the merits and virtues gained are no more than the fluorescent light of a grain of rice. In the past 200 years, how many people have been saved and how many lives have been saved by Nanhua to have this bright moon.

Even if Ruyi didn't know it, she guessed that the merit was not easy to come by, and said with emotion, "This is the result of your pursuit of benevolence and benevolence, but you said it is not enough, what is lacking?"

"Primitive spirit and cultivation base." Nanhua said these two words, and said with a wry smile, "merit and faith come from mortals, and they are complementary to each other, but even the heaven and the earth are one clear and one turbid, and the combination of yin and yang is also one black and one white , the merits and virtues are attached to the primordial spirit and remain, as long as the cultivation level is sufficient, you can use the true essence to spark the fire of merits and virtues, and completely destroy the golden letter of faith."

When Nanhua said this, he laughed at himself, "It's a pity that my cultivation level of Yuanshen is far from enough."

"If it's a cultivation level, I can pass it on to you, it's just the soul..." Ruyi also shook her head, the soul is wrapped in three souls and seven souls, all tempered by spiritual energy and true energy, no one can take shortcuts.

"I understand this." Nanhua walked all the way, and his heart was also painful and entangled. He found a way, but he couldn't bear to say it.He even hated why his qualifications were so mediocre.

But thinking of the better situation now, Nan Hua showed a relaxed expression, "Now that the Patriarch is here, this method is useless, but I still want to give the fire of merit to you, Senior Sister, and the senior sister will pass this on to the Patriarch. With the ability of the old man, it won't take long before he can come up with a better way to get the best of both worlds."

Ruyi was stunned, "Can this flame of merit be passed on to others?"

Nan Hua smiled, "Senior Sister, you know less than I thought."

Ruyi retorted silently, Fang Cunshan seldom had contact with the world, and even Honglian, the only one who had incense in the world, might not know more than Yiyi.

"Back then, my senior sister fused a piece of spiritual consciousness into my primordial spirit. Over the years, it is indeed thanks to this spiritual consciousness that I, with mediocre aptitude, have achieved what I am today."

Nanhua is not modest, and his aptitude can only be average among mortals, although compared to Ruyi, his ability seems to be mediocre.However, Nanhua has never failed to eliminate demons and subdue demons for more than 200 years, and his ability can also be seen.

Ruyi's spiritual consciousness, after more than 200 years of tempering and fusion, is almost indistinguishable from Nanhua's own spiritual consciousness.

"Precisely because Senior Sister gave me life-saving grace back then, and I also owed Senior Sister's help in my cultivation, there is already a cause and effect between you and me. Otherwise, even I think, this merit has nothing to do with others."

"Listen to you, don't you plan to see the master?" Ruyi was a little puzzled when she would rather shed the fire of merit than see the patriarch.

Originally, when he came here, Nanhua had only one purpose, so he naturally didn't think about these things.Now that the situation has become clear, all the awkwardness and embarrassment that he put aside flooded into his mind again.

Ruyi also knows a little bit about Nanhua's thoughts. This kind of thing is reluctant to happen, so she changed the subject and said, "Before you leave, don't you go to catch up with Wukong? When you left the mountain gate, he was still in front of me, begging for you. Too much love."

As soon as Ruyi finished speaking with a smile, there seemed to be a slight mosquito-like sound coming from her ears.

But can't hear clearly.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"It seems that someone is calling me?" Ruyi held her breath and concentrated, letting go of her spiritual sense to perceive carefully.

The call, subtler than the sound of the wind blowing gently, was finally caught.

That familiar voice was calling her, Master.

"It's Lu Ling?!" Ruyi was surprised, why did Lu Ling's voice reach her?
