Chapter 5 Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Visits
"Hehe, an epiphany actually made me take another step forward in the art of dry metal. According to the current progress, my art of dry gold will be perfected in about a thousand years. However, a thousand years is too long. It seems that this We still have to find a way to get the Queen Mother’s flat peach and Laojun’s golden elixir.”
Sun Wukong opened his eyes, feeling the increasingly perfect Qianjin Dao in his body, with a look of joy on his face.
However, he knew that there was not much time left before traveling to the west. If he could not break through to Daluo Jinxian as soon as possible, and if he was really forcibly suppressed by Tathagata Buddha, with his current strength, he would not be able to resist at all.
Therefore, Wukong understands that the only way to escape his fate of being suppressed is to improve his strength.
"According to what is written in the book, the Jade Emperor will ask me, the old grandson, to guard the Pantaoyuan. However, at this time, the old sun is just a Bima Wen. I am afraid that it will not be my turn to guard the pantaoyuan."
Sun Wukong scratched his head and scratched his head, feeling a little irritated. He was unwilling to return to Huaguo Mountain to start a war with Heaven as written in the book. Although he could become the so-called Monkey King, it would bring destruction to the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain. disaster.
As the Monkey King, Wukong naturally does not want to let his people suffer disaster because of him.
"No matter what, anyway, it's not my grandson who should be worried now, but the Jade Emperor and Tathagata. I'll be waiting in the Royal Horse Prison to see what you can do to me."
Sun Wukong continued to work diligently and diligently to raise horses in the Royal Horse Prison, raising the Pegasus in the Royal Horse Prison until its hair was shiny. The little immortal officials in the Royal Horse Prison also became more interested in Wukong because of the visits of Marshal Tianpeng and Taibai Jinxing. Respect, don't dare to be negligent in the slightest.
Time passed little by little, and seeing that Wukong had no intention of going down to the lower world to rebel against heaven, Tathagata of the West couldn't sit still.
"Your Majesty, Guanyin Bodhisattva from the West is visiting."
On this day, a lotus platform floated from the west. Standing on the lotus platform was Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, who is known as the Great Merciful and Great Compassion.
The Bodhisattva took his disciple Hui'an Xingzhe into the heaven. The purpose of her coming here was precisely for the bright stone monkey Sun Wukong.
The Jade Emperor led Taibai Jinxing and other heavenly officials to receive Guanyin Bodhisattva in the Lingxiao Hall. Now is the period when Buddhism and Taoism have the most tacit understanding. Although the two sides meet, they have their own thoughts, but they are also happy.
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, if you are not chanting sutras at Lingshan Mountain, why do you come to my heaven to do something important?"
The Jade Emperor asked knowingly. He naturally knew that Guanyin Bodhisattva came here to obtain Buddhist scriptures, but as the Lord of the Three Realms, he could not take the initiative to say this.
Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled slightly. She also knew the Jade Emperor's thoughts, and immediately smiled and said: "Reporting to the Great Heavenly Lord, this poor monk is actually here for the purpose of spreading Buddhism to the east."
"Oh? Hahahahaha, since the spread of Buddhism to the East is a matter decided by the saints and Taoist ancestors, I should give my full support."
Hearing this, the Jade Emperor laughed and said.
"In this way, the poor monk thanks the Great Heavenly Lord on behalf of the Buddha."
Guanyin Bodhisattva bowed slightly to the Jade Emperor, and then asked about the Lingming Stone Monkey.
When he learned that Wukong had been raising horses in the Royal Horse Prison, Guanyin Bodhisattva's face froze, revealing a look of doubt.
"Could it be that the Jade Emperor took a fancy to the talent of the Lingming Stone Monkey and wanted to break the contract?"
Thinking of the powerful luck and cultivation talent of the Lingming Stone Monkey, Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but think anxiously.
In fact, the Jade Emperor also had a headache about how to deal with Wukong. It would be fine if the monkey was stubborn and he could just find any crime to demote him. However, the monkey is really an honest monkey now. If he demoted Wukong against his will, it would seem
He, the Jade Emperor, is a bit foolish and unprincipled.
Seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva looking at him with suspicion, the Jade Emperor felt a little unhappy. He suppressed his displeasure and took out a mirror.
"Haotian Mirror."
Guanyin Bodhisattva was shocked when he saw this, thinking that the Jade Emperor was angry. Just when he was about to apologize, he saw the Jade Emperor pointing at the Haotian Mirror, and the scene of the Royal Horse Prison immediately appeared in the mirror.
In the mirror, I saw Sun Wukong brushing the Pegasus himself. With his serious look, he looked like the conscientious Bi Mawen.
"Hey, it's strange, why do I, Old Sun, suddenly feel like I'm being watched?"
Sun Wukong, who was brushing the Pegasus, suddenly stopped and looked around. He vaguely felt that someone seemed to be watching him.
He didn't find anyone watching him, but the feeling of being watched never disappeared. Wukong was surprised in his heart, but calmed down on the surface.
"It seems that what is recorded in the book is indeed correct. There are countless great powers in the three realms, but I still need to keep a low profile."
Sun Wukong continued to comb Pegasus' hair, secretly determined to find a way to get the flat peach and golden elixir, and break through to Daluo Jinxian as soon as possible.
In the Lingxiao Palace, looking at Sun Wukong who was working hard, all the heavenly officials in the palace were talking about it, and they were all very surprised. Guanyin Bodhisattva was also confused for a while, suspecting that the Jade Emperor had made a stand-in to deceive him.
"Great Heavenly Lord, is this monkey really the luminous stone monkey?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva asked somewhat unconfidently. She really couldn't figure out why the Lingming Stone Monkey, who was supposed to be unruly, became like this.
The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "It will be replaced if it's fake."
"Then I wonder how the Great Heavenly Lord can make him rebel against heaven?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva asked, according to their original plan, in order for the Lingming Stone Monkey to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures honestly, they need to let Tathagata Buddha suppress him for five hundred years, use Buddhism to influence the Stone Monkey, and also let the Stone Monkey learn about Buddhism.
Give birth to a heart of awe.
Now there are only more than 500 years left before Buddhism spreads eastward, but the monkey has not done anything extraordinary yet, which makes Buddhists a little worried, wondering whether the Jade Emperor wants to break the promise.
The Jade Emperor was a little dissatisfied when he heard Guanyin Bodhisattva's question. Taibai Jinxing saw the Jade Emperor's thoughts and was worried that the Jade Emperor would be angry, so he quickly came to the side to help the Jade Emperor.
Taibai Jinxing looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Bodhisattva. When the time comes, he will ask the Buddha to take action to subdue the stone monkey."
"Amitabha, this will trouble the Great Heavenly Lord to worry about it."
Guanyin Bodhisattva also noticed that he was a little impatient just now, so he quickly put his hands together and said the Buddha's name.
Guanyin Bodhisattva returned to Lingshan Mountain in the West. The Jade Emperor summoned Taibai Jinxing and other heavenly officials to discuss how to force Wukong to rebel. They just discussed and discussed, but in the end they did not find a good way.
In this way, Sun Wukong stayed in the Royal Horse Prison for nearly a year. During this year, Wukong's character improved greatly because of watching Journey to the West.
The emperor sent people to secretly instigate him several times, but he still stayed in the Royal Horse Prison honestly and looked like he was proud of raising horses, which raised a question in the hearts of all the officials in heaven.
