As we all know, there are three wonderful books on birthday stars.

They are the Book of Gods from Heaven, Book of Mountains and Seas from Earth, and Book of Life and Death from Man.

Among them, the book of life and death, which can control the life and death of mortals and monks, was obtained by Emperor Haotian who entered the heaven.

The whereabouts of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, a book from the ground, are unknown.

In the main hall.

The monkey continued: "As for the Heavenly Book of Gods, it just happened to fall into the hands of my master."

Su Xing asked: "Since the Human Book controls the life and death of monks and mortals, and the Earth Book controls the life and death of vegetation and wild animals, then the Heavenly Book should control the life and death of immortals, gods, and Buddhas, right?"

"No, no, no."

The monkey shook his head and said: "Essentially speaking, immortals, gods and Buddhas are just stronger human beings. After all, they are not out of the category of human beings. Even if they are aloof, they can still bleed and be killed, so they are still killed.

Controlled by the Book of Life and Death."

"What was the function of the Book of Gods' List that day?"

"Control the days!"

The monkey said: "Every time there is a great disaster or some major event in the world, the Heavenly Book of Gods will appear, and then what will happen will be revealed... For example, the Battle of the Gods ten thousand years ago was predicted by the Heavenly Book of Gods.

, after that battle, there were so-called immortals, gods, and Buddhas on the longevity star."

In the main hall.

When the monkey mentioned the Heavenly Book of Gods, Xuanzang patted the storage bag on his waist and took out a fat white jade slip.

The appearance of this jade slip is exactly the same as Su Xing's Book of Mountains and Seas, a book on the earth, except that the pictures carved on its surface are not dragons, phoenixes, or unicorns.

What is inscribed on the list of gods are the sun, moon, stars, and the vast sky.

The monkey continued: "Those selected by the Heavenly Book of Gods List, as long as they act according to the prophecies on the Gods List, they can become people who comply with the destiny and gather the destiny of the entire planet... And this time the Gods List gave me the prophecy of Master,

It was because Buddhism was in vogue, so he was asked to go to the far west of Hezhou, Xiniu, to 'seek Buddha'."

Reminiscent of the plot in the movie, Su Xing asked: "Destined people... do you mean people who can turn disaster into good fortune and can't die no matter what?"

"It's true that you can turn disaster into good luck, but it's not like you can't die no matter what. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to protect my master along the way."

The monkey said: "Of course, if someone really wants to kill my master, it is equivalent to going against the will of heaven. The person who does this may be so unlucky that he can choke to death even if he eats... I say so

Maybe it’s a bit too exaggerated, but you just understand the meaning.”

"clear."

Su Xing nodded.

He asked back: "So, senior, after you have said so much, do you just want us to follow destiny and join the team heading west?"

"good."

Perhaps in order to convince Su Xing and the others more quickly, the monkey began to draw out the pie: "Going west can not only solve the catastrophe of heaven and earth, but also collect a large amount of 'black silk threads' along the way... Relying on the 'black threads' collected on the way,

Silk thread' can not only improve your strength, but even becoming a Buddha and becoming an ancestor is no longer a problem!"

Traveling west can improve your own strength.

After becoming a Buddha and becoming an ancestor, you can also have an almost infinite life span...

I have to say that the cakes painted by the monkeys are indeed very fragrant.

For a time, Su Xing, Karl and the old man all expressed their willingness to join the westbound team.

But Karl and the old man have lived for more than a hundred or two hundred years.

It is said that people become better with age.

While accepting the monkey's invitation, the old man Marsh Conrad asked cautiously: "Senior, I wonder if there are any requirements or prerequisites for joining the westbound team... After joining, what will I need to do along the way?

What?"

The old man said with a venomous look: "Logically speaking, with the cultivation level of our seniors, most things on this journey to the west can be easily solved, right? If that's the case, then what's the use of accepting us juniors?"

"You are very good."

Seeing the old man thinking so carefully, the monkey's eyes showed admiration: "The 'black threads' that can be collected on the westward journey are indeed good, but these 'black threads' are generated by painful emotions, so they cannot be sacrificed to the 'spirit'

and 'Shou'."

The old man and Karl took the two paths of becoming a god and becoming an immortal respectively, and the 'black threads' they collected were generated by madness and faith.

In other words.

The 'black thread' created by suffering on the westward journey cannot be used by the old man and Karl.

unless....

These two people gave up their current path, gave up on becoming immortals and gods, and turned to Buddhism.

After realizing this, the old man already wanted to quit.

He smiled helplessly: "I have lived for 332 years since I started practicing Buddhism, and my remaining life span is only over a hundred years... I really don't have the courage to turn to Buddhism and start over again, so I joined

I’m afraid I can’t agree to the westbound team.”

It is normal for an old man to say this.

In his opinion, the "black thread" obtained on the westward journey could not offset the price he paid for turning to Buddhism.

Since the sacrifices outweigh the benefits, there is no need to go west.

Beside the old man.

Karl, who has been on the road to becoming an immortal, is also not optimistic about the option of turning to Buddhism, and declined: "The younger generation is dull, and it is only by chance that he has reached the early stage of the Golden Elixir... If you let

If I start over, I really don’t have the confidence to become a Buddha."

"It's okay."

Seeing the old man and Karl's polite refusal, the monkey felt a little pity, but did not offer any words to persuade him.

He turned to Su Xing and said: "Little friend Su, these two people are taking the path of becoming immortals and gods, so they are unwilling to join. But I think you, like me, have learned a lot, and it seems that you are not afraid of becoming a Buddha."

Repair it?"

"this...."

Most of the 'black silk threads' collected by Su Xing were obtained from selling life-span medicine.

Don't know why.

He does not need to make sacrifices to the indescribable like other monks in order to collect and absorb the 'black thread'.

He can directly use the 'black thread' of any nature he encounters.

Su Xing is neither an immortal nor a god nor a Buddha, so even if he follows the path of a Buddhist cultivator, there is no need to start over from the beginning like Karl and the old man did.

also.

If Su Xing breaks through from the foundation building stage to the golden elixir stage, he needs to collect 10,000 'black silk threads'.

So to break through from the Golden Elixir Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, one needs to collect millions of ‘black silk threads’.

This problem can no longer be solved simply by selling longevity medicines.

Considering this, Su Xing accepted the monkey's invitation: "Since the seniors have said so, then I am naturally willing to join... But I have one last question."

The monkey nodded and said, "Just ask."

Reminiscent of the plot in "Journey to the West", Su Xing said: "In order to complete the journey to the west, do we have to go through eighty-one hardships, slay demons along the way, and finally reach the far west?"

"What are the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties...does it have to be so complicated?"

The monkey said with a smile: "In order to avoid encountering monsters as much as possible, my master plans to find a place where Buddhist cultivators gather, settle down first, and then wait until the cultivation reaches the mid-to-late stage of foundation building before continuing to the far west. This way, along the way
