What is it like to start as Tiandao?

After staying in Huaguo Mountain for several months, the monkey went to sea again.

This time I went to seek immortality and asked.

"No, the monkey is leaving Huaguo Mountain again. Venerable Guanyin, please go and have a look."

When he learned that the monkey was leaving Huaguo Mountain again, Tathagata was speechless. Can't you just be calm?

In order to avoid accidents, Tathagata quickly ordered Guanyin to monitor the monkeys.

"Yes, World Honored One!"

Guanyin did not dare to stay for a moment and hurried to Huaguo Mountain. Later, he saw monkeys crossing the ocean and asking for immortality along the way.

When they met some powerful people, they knew the details of the monkey and the destiny of the monkey, so they dismissed him saying that he had no chance to be with me.

However, when encountering some sects who knew nothing about the monkeys, they saw that the monkeys were talented and intelligent, so they wanted to accept the monkeys as their disciples. In the end, Guanyin secretly took action to make them give up this idea.

However, in the long run, this is not a solution, and we still need to find a foolproof strategy.

So Guanyin approached Tathagata with this question.

"World Honored One, the monkey head is searching for immortal relics everywhere, and there is no way to continue like this. If the monkey head encounters a disciple of a certain religion, I am afraid that there is nothing I can do about it."

After saying that, Guanyin secretly glanced at Tathagata to see how Tathagata would react.

A certain sect that Guanyin mentioned was exactly the Jie sect that disappeared after the Conferred God Tribulation.

You know, Jie Jiao has a deep hatred with the West. Once the monkey meets someone who is Jie Jiao, he will definitely recruit the monkey to resist Buddhism.

As for Guanyin, if she really meets a Jie Jiao disciple, she can't persuade him even if she wants to.

What's more, she doesn't have that ability.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao are a joke in front of the three generations of disciples of Jiejiao.

I don’t know how the original guy has the dignity to say that Jie Jiao is a bunch of hairy, horned, wet-born eggs.

As for the twelve disciples that Yuan Shi had accepted, they could not defeat Jie Jiao in a head-on fight and could only resort to conspiracy.

The reason why Guanyin secretly observed Tathagata was because Tathagata's predecessor was Jie Jiao's senior brother, whose full name was Duobao Tathagata.

Guanyin peeked at Tathagata to see how Tathagata would react when she mentioned Jie Jiao.

As a result, Tathagata didn't respond at all, which made Guanyin a little disappointed.

Faced with the question raised by Guanyin, Tathagata simply said: "What Venerable Guanyin said makes sense. It seems that the monkey's apprenticeship will be put on the agenda."

It is easy to solve the problem at hand. Tathagata means to let the monkey worship Patriarch Bodhi in advance.

"World Honored One, is it too early? I think that monkey head has extraordinary talent." Guanyin said doubtfully.

If the monkey is allowed to become a disciple three hundred years in advance, by then the monkey will be successful in his studies and will be too strong, how will the disaster of Journey to the West be carried out?

"Don't worry, Lord Guanyin, I have my own concerns."

From the Tathagata's point of view, even if the monkey is given an extra three hundred years, so what? Is it possible that the extra three hundred years will allow the monkey to reach Da Luo Jinxian?

Absolutely impossible.

You must know that they have gone through endless years and successfully survived the previous calamity before they achieved their current achievements.

No matter how talented a monkey is, it will never grow that fast.

Even if we take 10,000 steps back, if the monkey has really reached that height, he still has a back-up plan, and at most he can suppress the monkey for hundreds of years.

There is no difference between five hundred years and eight hundred years from the Tathagata's point of view.

This is the Tathagata's self-confidence. No monkey can escape from his Five Finger Mountain.

"Where is the ancestor?" Guanyin asked again. The ancestor she mentioned was the Bodhi ancestor.

What's the use of Light Tathagata's consent? The key is whether Patriarch Bodhi is willing to accept the monkey as his disciple in advance.

If Patriarch Bodhi is not willing, the monkeys will not be able to worship the teacher, and they will have to find another way.

"It doesn't matter. I'll tell Patriarch Bodhi. I'm sure he will agree."

Regarding this matter, Tathagata is still very confident.

After saying that, Tathagata disappeared in Lingshan Mountain.

Fangcun Mountain, Tathagata's figure appeared here.

As soon as Tathagata appeared in Fangcun Mountain, the figure of Patriarch Bodhi also appeared immediately.

Patriarch Bodhi looked at Tathagata and said, "I already know the intention of your fellow Taoist, but there is one thing you need to know. Patriarch, I teach my disciples and never hide my clumsiness.

What will happen to that monkey in the future, and what will happen to Buddhism, it has nothing to do with me, the ancestor, can you agree, fellow Taoist? "

Patriarch Bodhi already knew why Tathagata came here this time.

Since the monkey was born, Patriarch Bodhi has been paying attention to the monkey's movements.

Therefore, it is not difficult to guess the Tathagata's intention.

The meaning of Patriarch Bodhi's words is very clear. He is telling Tathagata that you can ask the monkey to become a disciple in advance, but there are some things you must consider clearly.

As long as the monkey worships him as his teacher and the monkey is willing to learn, Patriarch Bodhi will definitely teach the monkey carefully.

If the monkey succeeds in his studies and the monkey escapes the control of Buddhism in the future, it has nothing to do with him.

If Tathagata agrees, Patriarch Bodhi agrees to accept the monkey as his disciple in advance.

If Tathagata is unwilling to take this risk, Patriarch Bodhi can only act according to the rules and accept the monkey as his disciple three hundred years later.

"That's natural. Ancestor can teach the monkeys, but there is no need to worry about other things, Ancestor."

Tathagata readily agreed.

He knows the methods of Patriarch Bodhi. If Patriarch Bodhi teaches the monkey carefully, the monkey's achievements will definitely be high.

It's just not low, that's all. In the eyes of powerful people like them, it's just like that, and it can't cause any trouble.

"So good!"

Seeing that Tathagata agreed, Patriarch Bodhi said nothing more, and the two parties had reached an agreement.

Afterwards, Tathagata did not stay any longer and returned to Xitianling Mountain.

"Venerable Guanyin!"

Tathagata called Guanyin again.

"What is the Lord's instruction?"

Tathagata said: "Ancestor Bodhi and I have made an agreement, you can guide the monkey to become a disciple."

"Yes, World Honored One, I will do it now."

Guanyin immediately went down to follow Tathagata's instructions, and now the time was just right.

Just now, Monkey was rejected again.

Taking advantage of the monkey's decadence, he went up and told the monkey that there is a hidden great power in the Sanxing Cave of Xianniu Hezhou Lingtai Fangcun Mountain in Hezhou, Xiniu. If you can worship him as your teacher, you can definitely become an immortal.

In this way, the monkey is not excited enough to jump up.

This is a good idea, just do it.

So Guanyin turned into a middle-aged man and appeared in front of the monkey.

"Monkey, are you here to seek enlightenment?"

The middle-aged man transformed by Guanyin took the initiative to ask the monkey.

Seeing the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared, Monkey felt suspicious in his heart.

This is not a crossing of the world, but a place of seclusion outside the world.

To put it bluntly, this is a place deep in the mountains and old forests, where birds don’t poop.

A person will appear out of nowhere in this place?

When Monkey thought about it, things were definitely not that simple.

However, the monkey did not expose the other party. Let's first see what the purpose of coming here is.

So the monkey replied: "That's exactly what I meant, but no one thinks highly of me."

As he said that, the monkey's face was a little depressed and very sad.

Seeing the expression on the monkey's face, Guanyin was overjoyed. It seemed that the matter was done.
