Zhang Yang and his group walked west, and had been walking for about a month, leaving Us Tibet and coming to Mount Futu.

Bajie held the horse and pointed to the mountain and said, "This is Futu Mountain. There is a Zen Master Wuchao practicing on the mountain. The old pig recognizes him. However, he is a little difficult to deal with, so we should leave quickly."

Zhang Yang rode on the horse and said disapprovingly: "Since he is a cultivator, he will naturally meet again. I have always met monsters along the way, but I haven't met any gods yet."

Wukong joked that he had never seen the world and said, "What are the best things to see for gods? When I, Lao Sun, made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, I saw gods and immortals all the way, and there was nothing to see for you."

Zhang Yang was dissatisfied and retorted: "You two are the Monkey King and the One are the Marshal Tianpeng, so you naturally vomit. I am not as easy as you. Listen to me, and then go up and find that bird master after a while."

Bajie corrected: "It's Zen Master Wuchao. By the way, senior brother, you said that gods and immortals are all the same things, but I don't agree with it. There are still good gods in the sky, but most of them are hidden in the court and don't show themselves much."

Wukong knew who Bajie was talking about, so of course it was Taibai Jinxing, the civil servant of the Heavenly Court. He was the one who brought Wukong to heaven, and he was the one who pleaded for Wukong. Later, he was the one who recommended Bajie to heaven to eliminate the Milky Way Water Monster, and he was the one who pleaded for Bajie. This Taibai Jinxing was so busy that he was so busy.

Since everyone thought of this, Wukong had to ask: "Bajie, ask you a question. Your master will not mention his name. But I, Lao Sun, guessed that he is definitely not a Buddhist, but should belong to Taoism. And you are now on the path of converting to my Buddha to obtain scriptures. Are you not afraid of offending your master?"

Bajie smiled and said, "What my senior brother said is serious. Even the Jade Emperor is one of the three religions. Lao Zhu was born in Taoism, so what's the difference between him and I have broken up with him? Besides, he has lost contact with me. Even if I convert to Buddha, I have no relationship with him. On the contrary, you, Senior brother, are naturally not a Buddhist before."

Wukong said: "Now I want to say that my old Sun learned all my skills by myself, which is obviously a bit unreasonable. However, after my master taught me all my skills, he also broke off relations with me. He also said that no matter what trouble he caused, he was not allowed to mention his name.

Now that I have been thinking about why I made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and what my master said, I vaguely realized that he had known that I would cause trouble for a long time, but he did not deliberately remind me that I couldn’t understand.”

Bajie said, "You don't have to think so deeply about it. You have converted to my Buddha. The past will follow the wind."

Unexpectedly, Wukong stared at Bajie meaningfully and said to him: "I, Lao Sun, have never said anything to convert to my Buddha."

Listening to a pig and a monkey saying things Zhang Yang couldn't understand, he had already had calluses in his ears, so he interrupted them: "I said, are you two masters now? What are the Buddhas and Taoisms? I only believe in the spirit of communism!"

Wukong and Bajie couldn't understand what Zhang Yang was saying, so Bajie asked first: "Master, Guanyin sent you to obtain scriptures, why don't you believe in Buddhism?"

Zhang Yang came down from the white dragon, stretched his waist and twisted his butt, and then said, "I just don't understand why people would kneel down if the Buddha is not vain, and why would people worship him if the Buddha is not greedy? Of course, it is difficult to understand your current thoughts. In fact, the purpose of religion is to manage and control the masses at the beginning, so that you will be afraid first, and then you will be obedient."

Wukong stared at Zhang Yang with interest and said, "Bald Donkey, you really surprised Lao Sun. He actually had this enlightenment. Many people don't understand this and blindly believe in Buddhism, trying to ask Buddha to help them clear all the difficulties, but they have never seen anyone who has passed away."

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with believing in this thing. In fact, people with faith will be much happier and happier than people without faith.

These people will pray and confide in their hearts when they have unhappy things. From a psychological perspective, they will appropriately vent their emotions and vent some of their worries and pains, and they will be much more relaxed.

To give another example, two people are suffering from despair at the same time. One person has no faith and is unwilling to talk to others. His troubles and pain are accumulated in his heart. In the end, he does not explode in silence, but he will perish in silence.

He committed suicide; and two people with faith were willing to talk about these things like faith, and their worries would disappear little by little, and replaced by the motivation to face life again. In certain cases, Buddha actually saved people. To put it simply, it was that people saved themselves.

Monkey, I dare to bet with you that when you were at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, you didn’t even have a person to talk to. If you lack faith, you would be very painful. Now, Bajie believes in Buddha, and he will definitely be happier than you."

Wukong has never heard of such a novel theory. Although it is very alternative, it is also reasonable. The bald donkey in front of him neither belittles Buddhism nor praises Buddhism. It has a completely neutral attitude. In this regard, he is a bit similar to that Jin Cicadazi.

Zhang Yang patted Wukong on the shoulder and said, "If you don't want to have faith, you can actually have friends. You can talk to friends, or just tell me, tell Bajie, tell Xiaobailong that although we have just got together, there is still a long way to go in the future. We are actually the closest people."

Bajie also said at this time: "Senior Brother, what Master said makes sense. It has been five hundred years, and you have been in your heart. It feels very uncomfortable. Old Pig understands."

Wukong waved his hand and smiled bitterly, saying, "Forget it, let's talk about it when you have time."

Zhang Yang and Bajie looked at each other and did not force him any more, so they had to continue on the road. Wukong was at the front. He kept thinking about everything Zhang Yang said just now, and a familiar feeling surged in his heart, just like the warmth he had when he was named Sun Wukong by the Bodhi Patriarch for the first time.

Wukong never called Master Zhang Yang because he felt that he was not worthy. There were actually only two masters in his heart, Bodhi Patriarch and Jin Chanzi, but now, he seems to have changed his attention.

The three of them went up the mountain and came to a huge fragrant cypress tree. There was a huge bird-shaped nest made of firewood on the tree. Zhang Yang walked over and kicked the trunk to call the Zen Master Wuchao. Bajie shook his head helplessly, and it seemed that he could not escape.

After kicking a few times, Zhang Yang stared at it with concentration. After a while, black smoke slowly ignited from the nest.
