Chapter 377 Return
Daleiyin Temple, in the Great Hall.
Tathagata and Ran Deng looked at the information in the jade talisman sent by the golden arhat.
Randeng asked, “Is this news reliable?”
Tathagata said, "This is a message from a dark son who is beside the Jade Emperor, so it should be reliable..."
Both of them looked a little strange at this time.
Because the two of them were discussing just now, what did the stone monkey disappear if it was done by Master Bodhi, what did he want to do?
Even if Master Bodhi is dissatisfied with the distribution of interests and wants more benefits, he just hides the stone monkey and releases it again, and he doesn't know what purpose it is for.
Now, after seeing the news from the people installed in the Heavenly Court, the two of them had some new ideas.
Tathagata shook the golden-body arhat back and said, "It seems that the Jade Emperor is not willing to accept it..."
Ran Deng said, "The Jade Emperor was unwilling to give up, that was predictable, but what he didn't expect was that with his cautious personality, he really dared to interfere, which was a bit unexpected..."
They all know the Jade Emperor's character very well, and this person is more cautious and less enterprising.
In this plan, the Jade Emperor is indeed not good, and he can understand it if he has resentment.
But they were a little surprised to dare to make a mistake by it.
Because of this plan, it was approved by the Taoist ancestor.
It can even be said that the key point of this plan was arranged by the Taoist ancestor.
Although the Taoist ancestor who created the world was no longer in this world at this time, he only left the clone of Laojun.
But Zhang Bairen was able to take the position of Jade Emperor because he had the support of Taoist ancestor.
Even if he borrowed ten courages, he would not dare to destroy the Taoist ancestor's plan.
Tathagata and Ran Deng thought of this and looked at each other. Combined with the guess that the stone monkey was hidden by the Bodhi Patriarch, they all thought of a possibility.
That is, the Jade Emperor hugged another Hunyuan Daluo saint, and that saint was willing to support him.
But even so, it's not enough
Because even other Hunyuan Daluo saints dare not easily offend the Taoist ancestor who created the world.
The only possibility is that the Jade Emperor and Bodhi Patriarch reached some kind of agreement to seek greater benefits without touching the bottom line of the Taoist ancestor.
This is actually Wukong’s plan at this time.
As the top existences in this world, Tathagata and Randeng had no idea about anything before, because the news of Wukong was hidden too well.
When they got some relevant information, they immediately inferred many things.
Not only are there no fools who can sit in this position, but they are also extremely smart.
I didn't think of some possibilities before, because of the lack of information.
However, what they didn't expect was that the information they knew at this time was deliberately released by someone else to mislead them.
It’s not that they are not smart enough, but that they didn’t expect that behind the stone monkey, there would be someone beyond their perception to support it.
So they can only think about things within their cognition.
The result is of course that Bodhi Patriarch took the blame.
Just like the Jade Emperor guessed that behind Wukong might be the one who failed among the three ancient religions.
Because in everyone's perception, the holy position of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal cannot be extra out of thin air.
Although the holy position of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal is not fixed, the creation of each holy position requires specific opportunities and disasters to achieve.
Opportunities in each era are limited, and there is no possibility of extra holy positions.
This is like in everyone's perception, 1+1 is definitely equal to 2. This is an axiom and there is no other answer.
But now the second answer appears.
Therefore, Tathagata and Lan Deng could not have thought of this second answer at all. This is not that they are not smart enough, but that they have cognitive barriers.
As long as you cannot break through the cognitive barrier, it is impossible to infer the second answer.
It was precisely this that Wukong used the information to release real and fake news to confuse these big guys.
At this time, based on the news from Heaven and Demon King Peng, the two inferred that the Jade Emperor and Bodhi Patriarch might have formed an alliance and wanted to seek more benefits.
Ran Deng frowned and said, "Buddha, the Bodhi Patriarch is the clone of which one. He originally agreed that he would teach the Shihou. Although the chance and fortune this time were not the most, there were already a lot. Moreover, the Buddhist prosperation would be beneficial, so why would he still interfere with it?"
Tathagata pondered for a moment and said, "The ancient Buddha didn't know anything. To be honest, the fortune of Buddhism at this time had basically nothing to do with Bodhi. Because when the Buddhist was established, Bodhi Patriarch had a very unhappy relationship with the man in the Pure Land and ran away in anger and wanted to create a new sect. When he planned to create a new sect that combined Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, he had already made a separation from Buddhism, so..."
Ran Deng was a little surprised, "So at this time, he wanted to seize more opportunities and luck in this disaster to officially establish a sect?"
Tathagata said, "This is possible..."
The two of them looked serious.
If the previous discussion was agreed upon, the Bodhi Patriarch was responsible for teaching the stone monkey that had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth for countless years was to make up for the use of the Western teachings by Buddhism, which was just to restore some cause and effect.
Now, if the Bodhi Patriarch established a new sect in order to gain more luck and opportunities, it would be a dispute over Taoism and sects.
The disputes between Taoist sects have always been the cruelest.
I think that the three religions came from the same source, and it was established by three brothers. Even so, in order to compete for luck, opportunities and Taoism, they still had their heads and bloodshots and never ended.
So let alone Master Bodhi, who is just a little related to Buddhism.
Thinking of all these, the two looked serious.
Although this is just their guess, as long as there is such a possibility, you must not take it lightly.
Ran Deng said, "Since that's the case, there's no need to be polite. I've sent someone to watch the stone monkey, but if Bodhi really wants to establish a sect, it's probably not safe. You and I need to send more people to go there, or do you and I need to go over and take a look?"
Tathagata said, "You and I don't need to go there. There is no big noise at the Sanxing Cave of the Shaky Moon at this time. If you and I go, Bodhi will also go, so there will be no room for maneuver.
Since we have seen through his tricks at this time, we can use the general trend to suppress it. If Bodhi can't help but take action first, then you and I will have a reason to take action..."
Randeng nodded, feeling it made sense.
In short, no matter what, they must take precautions first.
Let me first tell you that the great rise of Buddhism is the great trend of heaven. If you do not follow the trend, you will disobey the destiny of heaven.
Then, he used many disciples of Buddhism to suppress it. If the other party takes action first, don’t blame them for taking action personally.
If the Buddha had not instructed these disciples who came to find the traces of the stone monkey, and not to preach too blatantly, the eastern area of Dongsheng Shenzhou might have been occupied by Buddhism at this time.
Buddhism wants to spread Buddhism to the four continents, but it is not the time yet.
At this time, they had not even occupied the basic market of Xiniu Hezhou, let alone the other three states.
Although many bigwigs in Xuanmen regard the great rise of Buddhism as the will of heaven because of the Taoist ancestor and do not want to go against the will of heaven, it does not mean that they will let them do whatever they want before the time comes.
This is also the reason why Maitreya could only send his subordinates such as Jiao Demon King to conduct the mission in Beijuluzhou, but did not dare to act blatantly.
Only when Tathagata and others dare to blatantly clear the Xuanmen forces on Xiniu Hezhou when they waited for the West.
Therefore, although the Buddhist disciples occupied the surrounding areas of Aolai Kingdom at this time, they did not dare to be too high-profile, otherwise it would cause dissatisfaction among the Xuanmen, which would be a bad idea.
When they thought, the traces of the stone monkey were not found for the time being, but it was also a contribution to laying the foundation of faith in Dongsheng Shenzhou. Then the Buddha would not blame him for his poor work.
The original demons of Huaguo Mountain were scattered in various parts of Dongsheng Shenzhou under the leadership of Marshal Ma Liu and General Benba, waiting for their king to return.
On this day, a group of little monsters with about ten thousand people in an unknown mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou were practicing the formation under the leadership of a demon general.
This demon general was wearing black iron armor and had a horse face, but a horse monkey became a spirit.
And his little demons are all kinds of monkey-like spirits.
He was urging his subordinates to practice the formation, and he realized that something was strange in the sky. He only felt a huge black cloud rolling in the distance, not knowing where it came from.
When the black cloud flew closer, he looked at it and his whole body began to tremble.
The little demons around him found something abnormal and asked what was wrong.
The demon general said in a trembling voice, "It's the king, it's the king who is back, the king who is back!!"
When the little demons heard the shouts, they all looked up.
I saw that the black cloud demonic spirit was rolling in that sky, and the sky-summing flag was revealed.
On the tallest flag, the word "Sun" is written.
The black clouds dispersed, revealing many demon kings and demon soldiers who controlled the demon wind.
The leader was a figure wearing a purple gold crown with phoenix wings and a golden armor with a locket, a lotus silk stairs and clouds, and a red cloak.
The demons on the ground were stunned for a moment, and then they cheered loudly.
"The king is back, the king is back!!"
Many demon soldiers and demon generals' eyes were red and excited.
Because more than ten years ago, their king told them that one day when they saw his flag appear, they went to take back Huaguo Mountain and take revenge.
Wukong looked at the many monkeys and grandchildren on the ground, and was also excited and shouted,
"Children, I'm back!! Follow me to take back our Flower and Fruit Mountain Water Curtain Cave..."
The demons cheered and responded.
This scene happened many times along the way.
The demon soldiers and generals who were originally scattered all over the country were summoned one by one, flying and running, and as the large army began to advance.
For a time, the number of demons reached 100,000.
One hundred thousand demons are moving towards the Huaguo Mountains.
I saw the black fog rolling, the demonic aura was overwhelming, the mountains, the monsters were all panicked, and the dragons and strange beasts ran away in a panic.
All demons pass by, and all beings change their colors.
