Chapter 13 Canopy’s concerns
Sun Wukong left Taiqing Palace. After knowing his identity, he reached an agreement with the mysterious old man in Taiqing Palace.
He can represent the East and complete the spread of Buddhism eastward, but he also needs freedom.
Freedom, this is what Wukong resented the most after reading Journey to the West.
Being suppressed on Wuzhishan for five hundred years, being controlled by Jin Gu'er, and being forced to become an old monk's apprentice, all of this made him repulsive to learning from the scriptures.
The old Taoist satisfied Wukong's request. He promised Wukong that from today on, Heaven will no longer deliberately plot against him, but Heaven will not deliberately protect him either.
Everything depends on Wukong's own creation.
"Does everything depend on my fortune? Humph, I have the luck of Dongsheng Shenzhou. As long as I don't destroy my luck, who can force me?"
A smile appeared on Sun Wukong's face. After knowing that he was connected to Dongsheng Shenzhou, he understood why the Jade Emperor and others only dared to plot against him secretly even though they wanted to suppress him.
Because Wukong, who has luck with him, unless he destroys his luck, actively attacking him is equivalent to attacking Dongsheng Shenzhou, and will be counterattacked by his luck.
Wukong returned to Heaven. After receiving the promise from the mysterious Taoist priest of Taiqing Palace, the Jade Emperor no longer deliberately plotted against Wukong and still let him sit in Pantaoyuan. As for the matter of him stealing the golden elixir of Taishang Laojun, it seemed as if it had never happened.
Same thing, no one mentioned it.
"The taste of freedom."
Sun Wukong lay under the peach tree with a smile on his lips. This was the first time he felt so comfortable after getting Journey to the West and knowing his fate of being enslaved.
"Five hundred years later, I will help Heavenly Court and Buddhism complete the mission of spreading Buddhism eastward, and gain the merits that I, the old grandson, deserve. At that time, I will be truly free, whether it is Buddhism or Heavenly Court, I will
Sun will stay wherever he wants."
Tushita Palace.
Tianpeng glanced at Tushita Palace with a dejected expression, his expression was filled with sadness and a hint of shock.
Suddenly, he turned around and knelt down on the ground, kowtowing three times to Tushita Palace.
"Master, the canopy has gone. While the disciple is away, please take care of yourself."
In the Tushita Palace, a Taoist priest in Xuanyi seemed to have seen Tianpeng's actions. He sighed and looked at Taishang Laojun, who was closing his eyes and concentrating.
"This is fate and also the opportunity of Canopy."
Taishang Laojun's voice was indifferent. At this moment, he seemed to have truly transformed into the Supreme Saint who was famous for his inaction.
"Yes, Master."
Taoist Xuanyi said yes. He turned his back, as if he couldn't bear to see the disappointment in his disciple's eyes.
Time passed and Wukong began his practice in Pantao Garden. On this day, Tianpeng, whom he had not seen since the Pantao Club, suddenly appeared in Pantao Garden.
"Tianpeng, why do you have time to visit my grandson?"
Sun Wukong sensed the aura of Canopy, and his face showed a hint of joy. He appeared in front of Canopy and asked happily.
Tianpeng smiled and said: "Monkey, you are at ease. Come, I brought you some good wine, let us two have a good drink."
"Oh? There's good wine, that's just right. I've been craving for it for a long time."
When Wukong heard that there was good wine, he immediately became happy. He pulled the canopy and walked towards the depths of the peach garden.
The two of them came to a high-grade peach tree deep in the peach garden and sat down. They took out a wine jug from the canopy and poured a glass for themselves and Wukong.
"Good wine, good wine."
Sun Wukong picked up the wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and couldn't help but praise it.
Tianpeng smiled proudly and said, "That's natural. I got this from Brother Zhenwu."
After a long drink, the two of them gradually became drunk. Tianpeng looked at the swaying monkey with a wry smile on his face.
"Monkey, if something happens to my canopy one day, what will you do?"
Suddenly, a strange sentence came out of Tianpeng's mouth.
Sun Wukong was stunned when he heard this. The drunkenness in his eyes disappeared instantly, and he said seriously: "Tianpeng, since you and I are brothers, if you are in trouble, I, the old Sun, cannot stand by and watch."
"Hahahaha, monkey, just say this to you, I, Tianpeng, will always recognize you as my brother, hahahaha."
Tianpeng smiled, he hugged Wukong, and whispered: "Brother, I accept your wishes, but... But there is one thing, you must remember that if you hear the news that something happened to me, you must not take action randomly."
Before he finished speaking, Tianpeng had already laid down on the ground and fell asleep.
Sun Wukong looked at Tianpeng who was lying drunk on the ground, with a trace of worry in his eyes.
"What happened to this canopy? Could it be..."
Wukong suddenly had an idea. He thought that in Journey to the West, Tianpeng was also one of the Buddhist scripture seekers. Although he had reached a tacit understanding with Heaven because of his foresight, Tianpeng still needed to go through tribulations in the lower world and become the disciple of the Buddhist scripture seeker.
Join Buddhism.
"He has always regarded himself as an orthodox Taoist sect. Now that he knows that he needs to join the Buddhist sect, he must feel very uncomfortable."
Looking at Tianpeng with saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth, Wukong knew that Tianpeng must be feeling very uncomfortable at this moment. After all, a person who had been a Taoist disciple for who knows how many years suddenly learned that he was going to abandon Taoism and become a Buddha. This was something that
What a sad thing.
The next day, Tianpeng said goodbye and left, as if he had once again transformed into the heroic Tianpeng Marshal.
Sun Wukong looked at Tianpeng's back, and he had a feeling that Marshal Tianpeng would never come back again.
A few days later.
"General Sun, your majesty has summoned all the immortals to attend the banquet at the Bullfighting Palace. I am here to invite the general to the banquet."
A little immortal official came to Pantaoyuan holding an invitation from the Jade Emperor.
"The Jade Emperor held a banquet, why did he invite me, a little ninth-grade heavenly general?"
Sun Wukong accepted the invitation, full of doubts in his heart.
However, the Jade Emperor invited him, and as a heavenly general, Wukong had no choice but to go. After a brief tidying up, he flew towards the Bullfighting Palace on a somersault cloud.
In the Bullfighting Palace, many immortals from heaven gathered together. When they saw Sun Wukong, most of these immortals had complicated expressions in their eyes.
"Canopy?"
Sun Wukong took a look around and found Marshal Tianpeng, who was pouring wine for himself. He immediately strode towards the Tianpeng.
There happened to be a few empty seats next to the canopy. Wukong didn't care whether it was in compliance with the rules or not, and sat down next to the canopy.
Marshal Tianpeng glanced at Wukong and said with a smile: "Monkey, you are here."
Sun Wukong nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here."
"good very good."
Tianpeng smiled, then poured himself another glass and drank it in one gulp.
"The Jade Emperor has arrived."
A golden light flashed, and the Jade Emperor's figure turned from virtual to real, and appeared on the throne.
"I will pay my respects to the Jade Emperor."
All the immortals quickly stood up and saluted.
Chapter completed!
