What is it like to start as Tiandao?

Tathagata went to find Patriarch Bodhi and asked Patriarch Bodhi to take back the eighty-nine mysterious skills given to the monkey to ensure that the journey to the west can proceed smoothly.

Unexpectedly, Tathagata met Patriarch Bodhi as soon as he came out of Lingshan Mountain.

Patriarch Bodhi was the first to speak to Tathagata: "Where are you going, fellow Taoist?"

Seeing Patriarch Bodhi suddenly appear blocking his way, Tathagata knew in his heart that Patriarch Bodhi was doing it on purpose.

After Patriarch Bodhi taught Monkey the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques, he expected that he would go to him, so he took the initiative to show up now.

After understanding this, Tathagata stopped confusing Patriarch Bodhi and said directly: "Fellow Taoist, please take back the Eighty-nine Mysterious Techniques."

"Why?" Patriarch Bodhi asked deliberately.

Seeing that Patriarch Bodhi was pretending to be stupid, Tathagata was very angry, but he could not lose his temper with Patriarch Bodhi, so he could only say: "Fellow Taoist, pass on the eighty-nine mystical skills to the monkey. The monkey will have several kinds of magical powers around him, and he will be able to conquer the Westward Journey." Things are not going well.”

Tathagata explained the key point to Patriarch Bodhi, and Patriarch Bodhi acted like this, making it difficult for Tathagata to do it.

Tathagata complained to Patriarch Bodhi, but Patriarch Bodhi looked indifferent.

Patriarch Bodhi said: "What does the journey to the west have to do with me? You and I have already agreed at the beginning that if Ling Monkey is allowed to become a disciple in advance, no matter how I teach you, Ling Shan is not allowed to interfere.

My fellow Taoist had agreed at the beginning, so why did he regret it now? "

"..."

The Tathagata was told by Patriarch Bodhi that it was somewhat impossible to refute.

Yes, he promised Patriarch Bodhi in this way at the beginning, and the Tathagata recognizes this.

However, who knew you would teach like this, teach the monkey whatever it wants and learn. Isn’t this pushing all the Buddhas in his spiritual mountain into a pit of fire?

For the sake of livelihood in the West, Tathagata shamelessly said to Patriarch Bodhi: "Fellow Taoist, traveling to the West is destiny, and it is also the best period for the rise of the West. You are also a member of the West, and you should consider the West. I hope you will accept the monkey." ” magical power.

Tathagata began to play the emotional card.

Patriarch Bodhi is a quasi-saint, and he can be said to be a talker in the West. For this reason, Patriarch Bodhi should not act in this way. He should consider the West. After all, Patriarch Bodhi is connected with the West. There is a gap between the two. When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.

The Tathagata thought that what he said would definitely make Patriarch Bodhi change his mind.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Tathagata's words, Patriarch Bodhi's face became even more ugly.

It's a good thing Tathagata didn't mention this matter. Perhaps Patriarch Bodhi would give it some thought.

But when you Tathagata mentioned this matter, this monkey has Bodhisattva.

Others have always thought that Bodhi is the good corpse of Saint Chunti. When talking about Saint Chunti, Patriarch Bodhi’s face should light up.

But on the contrary, Patriarch Bodhi hated others saying that he was the good corpse of Saint Zhunti. The two Huabei Saints in the West even deceived his own people.

Saying that Bodhi is the good corpse of a quasi-dhi saint makes Patriarch Bodhi very shameless.

This saint and good corpse can be accepted by anyone who likes him, but Bodhi doesn’t like him anyway.

Patriarch Bodhi responded directly to Tathagata: "Tathagata, don't think that I don't know what you are planning. No matter how strong the monkey is, with your Buddhist background, it is impossible that you can't deal with a monkey. At most, you have to pay a little more price.

Today, I, Bodhi, will put my words here. If the monkey is not driven out of the master's door by me, he will be my disciple. During this period, if anyone dares to do harm to my disciples or engage in some conspiracy, don't blame me, Bodhi, for ignoring old feelings.

My Bodhisattva is really in a hurry. My magical powers such as the Buddha's Kingdom in the Palm and the Great Dream Qianqiu, as well as my companion magic weapon, the Little Seven Treasures Tree, are all passed on to the monkeys. Let's see how you Buddhists respond. "

"..."

At this moment, Tathagata was completely speechless by Patriarch Bodhi's words.

Is it true that you are still here?

If those magical powers and the Little Seven Treasures Tree were given to the monkey, then Journey to the West would be a waste of time, so why not close the door and stay at home.

Let me ask, if a monkey owns this thing, how many people in the world can do anything to a monkey?

Is it possible that the Tathagata and the Jade Emperor should personally come to add to the disasters on the monkeys during the journey to the west?

Even if the Jade Emperor were willing, he wouldn't be able to recruit so many powerful people.

"Fellow Taoist..."

Tathagata still wanted to struggle, trying to retain the Bodhi Patriarch.

However, as soon as Tathagata spoke his words, Patriarch Bodhi pushed him back.

"Okay, I have said what I have to say. I hope fellow Taoist friends will remember what I said so that you can take care of yourself. Farewell!"

After speaking, Patriarch Bodhi disappeared from the place without giving Tathagata a chance to speak again, leaving only Tathagata with a confused look on his face.

After a long time, Tathagata muttered to himself in the air.

"Ami is a tofu!"

After saying that, Tathagata also disappeared from the ground and returned to Lingshan.

At the moment when Patriarch Bodhi and Tathagata dispersed, in the heavenly court, the Jade Emperor called Taibai Jinxing over.

The Jade Emperor said to Taibai Jinxing: "Taibai, please go to Lingshan Mountain on my behalf and tell Tathagata that the price he negotiated with me is no longer suitable and needs to be changed."

Hearing this, Taibai Jinxing was startled.

"Your Majesty, has something happened?" Taibai Jinxing asked.

If it were other gods, they would definitely not dare to ask the Jade Emperor like this.

In the heaven, there are only three people who dare to talk to the Jade Emperor like this.

One is Taishang Laojun, the other is Queen Mother of Yaochi, and the remaining one is Taibai Jinxing.

After the Lich War, Heaven was empty and ownerless, so Daozu let Haotian take control of Heaven and become the master of the world.

But that's all. Daozu only gave Haotian a few magic weapons, nothing else.

At that time, the Heavenly Court was in ruins and everything depended on Haotian alone.

To be honest, it was really difficult when I first took over the Heavenly Court.

Taibai Jinxing was with Haotian at the beginning of the Heavenly Court's re-establishment. He has always been loyal and responsible. Over time, he became Haotian's only confidant.

Many important matters were discussed by Haotian and Taibai Jinxing alone.

Seeing Taibai Jinxing asking, Haotian Jade Emperor said to him: "Bodhi Patriarch has passed the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art to the monkey. Now the monkey has mastered the art of Tiangang and Disha. Now he has learned the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art. In the future, no one knows whether Bodhi Patriarch will pass on one or two magical powers to the monkey.

Therefore, the monkey has become so powerful that it is definitely not possible to follow the previous price. If Tathagata wants my Heavenly Court to help, he must increase the price. Otherwise, I don't care whether it is destined by heaven or not. No deal without increasing the price."

The result of the previous discussion between the Jade Emperor and Tathagata was that the merits of this journey to the West will be divided into four parts.

The first share belongs to the Heavenly Court, which takes 10%, and the Jade Emperor is the owner. As for how the Jade Emperor rewards his subordinates, that is the Jade Emperor's business, and Tathagata does not care.

The second share belongs to the Xuanmen, and the Taishang Laojun is the owner.

The third share is some forces that have contributed, such as the Dragon Clan, the Underworld, Zhenyuanzi, Guanyin, and the Buddhas who participated in the disaster, adding up to a total of 20%.

The remaining share belongs to Tathagata, who alone takes 60%.

How to use these 60 merits depends on Tathagata's wishes.
