Time Against Heaven

Chapter 434
500 years are approaching.

Except for the first few years, Sun Wukong has stopped yelling at Tathagata and Haotian, and his mood is much more peaceful, let alone arrogant and ignorant thinking that he is invincible in the three realms.

500 years may be a blink of an eye for other great powers who have lived for one and a half years, but it is a long time for Monkey King who was born only 500 years ago.

For nearly 500 years, being alone under the Five Elements Mountain, Sun Wukong had too much time to think, and he inevitably recalled his bet with the Tathagata Buddha.

He came out of Fangcun Mountain's Xieyue Sanxing Cave to learn art, broke into the Dragon Palace, made troubles in the underworld, went to the heaven twice and turned against the heaven twice, fought against hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals, and once wanted to break into the Lingxiao Palace and seize the throne of the Jade Emperor.

He thought that he could already be said to have no opponent in the Three Realms, and even if he had an opponent, he would not be much better than him, at least he would definitely not be able to deal with him. The Three Realms are so big that he can go anywhere.

Precisely because of this cognition, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and even the arrogant want to seize the Jade Emperor's throne.

However, the Tathagata Buddha woke him up severely.

He thought he was very powerful, but he never thought that he couldn't even fly out of the palm of the Tathagata Buddha, and the Five Elements Mountain transformed from the palm of the Tathagata Buddha could also suppress him to the point of immobility. What a huge gap. ?
The gap between him and the giant spirit god, the Taiyi Jinxian who can be defeated by a slap, is not as huge as the gap between him and the Tathagata Buddha.

What does this mean?
Is there only one Tathagata Buddha in the Three Realms?And Tathagata Buddha's strength is directly higher than other powerhouses by several levels?

No, that cannot be the case.

For example, there must be those who are slightly weaker than the Buddha, and there must be those who are weaker by one or two levels. It is absolutely impossible for the Buddha to stand on several levels alone.

It shows that besides Tathagata Buddha in the Three Realms, there are many people who can also crush him.

Heaven is actually not that simple. I don’t talk about others, just talk about Nezha. It’s the first time he fights against Nezha. Nezha can only fight with him at that time. After having a garden full of flat peaches, and countless elixir cultivation bases that have greatly improved, when they have to fight against Nezha in the Lingxiao Palace, Nezha is still only slightly weaker than him, which means that Nezha was weak when he first fought against him. Hidden strength!
Nezha hid his strength, did the Erlang God Yang Jian who beat him and fled in embarrassment also hide his strength?
And the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, as the lords of the Heavenly Court and the Three Realms, governing the Tota Heavenly King Li Jing, the Four Heavenly Kings, Nezha, Yang Jian, and so many gods in the Heavenly Court, could they be ordinary people without any cultivation?

When he rebelled against heaven for the second time, he made friends with some immortals and learned that there are Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and other Buddhas in the west, and Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, King Tota, Four Heavenly Kings, and the third prince Nezha in the east. wait.

The Tathagata Buddha is so powerful, but the West is also in the three realms governed by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and is controlled by the heavens. The strength of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother is not as strong as the Tathagata Buddha, at least they should be at the same level as the Tathagata Buddha, or slightly weaker Only a few are reasonable.

Thinking about it carefully, it turns out that there are so many powerful people hidden in the Three Realms, and he already knows a few who are much stronger than him, so what about the unknown ones?
What level is his strength in the Three Realms?medium?inferior?
Thinking about it this way, how could Sun Wukong still be crazy, and how could he not be honest?He has been pinned under the Five Elements Mountain and can't move. If he really scolds the Tathagata Buddha and the Jade Emperor, he must be the one who is unlucky.

As spring and autumn come, Sun Wukong has long since lost his arrogance, and has become silent, passing year after year silently.

Sun Wukong was honest and enlightened. At the same time, the heavenly secret also showed that the time to learn Buddhist scriptures from the west and spread the Dharma to the east has come.

Lingshan.

The Tathagata Buddha ordered his disciple Jin Chanzi to go to be reincarnated and prepare to start the West to learn scriptures.

Jin Chanzi has the peak cultivation base of Daluo Jinxian in the early stage. Before he was reincarnated, the Tathagata Buddha sealed all his cultivation base and Tao fruit in his reincarnated body. The so-called walking Tang monk flesh came from this.

One bite can make you become a golden immortal, and you can become a Da Luo Jinxian if you eat all of them. This is not a rumor, but a truth. Ninety-nine and 81 difficulties, Buddhism must use some means after all.

Jin Chanzi was reincarnated as Jiang Liuer, his father was the champion of the new department, and his wife who was pregnant with Liujia was killed by gangsters on the way to the post, and the gangsters took over his wife and pretended to be the champion. When she grew up, she recognized the thief as her father, so she put the newly born Jiangliuer in the bathtub, drifted down the river, and was finally rescued by the abbot of a temple downstream by the river and adopted in the temple, where she was named Xuanzang.

Xuanzang practiced Buddhism since he was a child, plus he was the reincarnation of the disciple of the Tathagata Buddha, and he was born with the mission of heaven, so it was very easy to learn advanced Buddhism. host.

At the age of 20, Master Xuanzang's name had been heard throughout the Tang Dynasty, and even Tang Emperor Li Shimin wanted to listen to his lectures.

The Tathagata Buddha will arrange for the scriptures from the West to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

Guanyin Bodhisattva first went to the Five Elements Mountain to see Monkey King who had been trapped under the mountain for 500 years.

Monkey King was in a daze when he suddenly heard a tease from the sky nearby.

"The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, who used to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, is crushed here, what a pity!"

Sun Wukong was refreshed and came back to his senses, he was not angry at being exposed, he looked up and saw a 'female Taoist', and asked: "Who are you?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said, "I am Nanhai Guanyin Bodhisattva."

"It turns out to be Guanyin Bodhisattva." Although Sun Wukong has never seen the female Bodhisattvas in Lingshan, he has heard the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva before. He is the first of all Bodhisattvas in Lingshan in the West. He is above Guanyin Bodhisattva, and when he thought about it just now, he realized that Guanyin Bodhisattva made a sound when he spoke. Presumably, Guanyin Bodhisattva's cultivation strength should be higher than him, and he is a powerful person.

After a pause, Monkey King suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity to get out, so he tried to ask: "Bodhisattva, the Tathagata Buddha has held me here for 500 years. The Bodhisattva is so merciful, can you save me?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "You monkey head, you have committed a lot of crimes. 500 years ago, you tried to occupy the Heavenly Palace and the Jade Emperor's throne, and rescued you. I'm afraid there will be another disaster."

"No, no!" Sun Wukong said hastily.

He is not really stupid, he has already realized that the Three Realms are far from as simple as he imagined 500 years ago, how could he still be as arrogant and ignorant as before.

Seeing that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva didn't speak or make a move, Sun Wukong tried to ask again: "Bodhisattva, you are so merciful and merciful that you don't want to make a move yourself, but show me a way out, so save me."

Seeing that the time had come, Guanyin Bodhisattva stopped beating around the bush and said with a smile, "Someone can save you, but it's not me."

Sun Wukong regained his energy in an instant, as long as someone can rescue him, it doesn't matter who it is, he, Monkey King, has repaid his kindness, and he will definitely remember this kindness.

Guanyin Bodhisattva showed a Zen staff and a cassock and said: "Seeing these two treasures, I am here on the order of the Tathagata Buddha to find someone who can learn from the Western Paradise, and give these two treasures to that person, and wait for him to set off to learn from here. You worship him as your teacher and protect him to go to the west to learn scriptures, not only can you come out, but you can also forgive your sins of the past and achieve a positive result!"

After finishing speaking, Guanyin Bodhisattva gradually faded away without waiting for Monkey King to respond.

Sun Wukong got the advice and knew that there was finally hope of going out, so he looked forward to it every day, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, he would miss the Buddhist scriptures mentioned by Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Although he only waited for more than a month, Monkey King felt that it had been another 500 years.

Finally, on this day, Sun Wukong saw a monk passing by on a white horse holding the Zen stick that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva had shown him.

The white horse is running, and the speed is not slow. If Monkey King is a little slack, he may really miss it.

Sun Wukong was excited and shouted: "Master!"

"Master!" Tang Xuanzang didn't stop even after shouting twice, and Sun Wukong blushed with anxiety, and shouted again, even startling Tang Xuanzang from sitting on the white horse with a trace of the power of the Daluo Jinxian.

The white horse was frightened and stopped running wildly, only then Tang Xuanzang finally heard Monkey King's call.

Tang Xuanzang was surprised, the master seemed to be calling him?Without much hesitation, I searched for the shout.

I saw a hairy monkey pressing down on the mountain, and it was this hairy monkey that shouted excitedly at him.

"Master, you're finally here, hurry up, save me, I'll protect you from the west to learn scriptures."

Tang Xuanzang was astonished and asked, "How do you know that I'm going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures?"

Sun Wukong saw that Tang Xuanzang had no idea of ​​saving him immediately, knowing that Tang Xuanzang had doubts, he said: "Master, I am the Monkey King who made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace 500 years ago. I was suppressed here by the Tathagata Buddha just because I violated the Heavenly Palace. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva asked me to worship you as my teacher, and protected you from the west to learn scriptures."

Tang Xuanzang suddenly realized, his face relaxed, his vigilance disappeared, and he recited a Buddha's name.

Seeing that Tang Xuanzang was finally no longer confused, Sun Wukong shouted: "Master, master, save me quickly."

Tang Xuanzang did not hesitate: "Since Guanyin Bodhisattva pointed out, I should accept you as a disciple, but I don't have an ax and hammer at this time, how can I rescue you?"

"Master, there is no need for an ax and hammer, as long as the master goes up the mountain and peels off the pressure post of the Tathagata Buddha." Sun Wukong said hastily.

Tang Xuanzang nodded and walked up the mountain slowly.

The Five Elements Mountain is tall and tall, Tang Xuanzang is just an ordinary person, so the speed of climbing the mountain is naturally not fast, and it took half a day to get close to the top of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Monkey King was also in a hurry. The closer he was to the moment when he was about to go out, the slower time passed. Although it was only half a day, Monkey King felt that it was slower than years.

Finally, Tang Xuanzang climbed to the top of the mountain, and also saw the pressed post that Sun Wukong said about the Tathagata Buddha.

Tang Xuanzang chanted a Buddhist name and was about to step forward to uncover it.

Suddenly the post seemed to be sensed by the Buddha, and he lifted it up by himself and flew west. Tang Xuanzang was shocked, thinking that the Buddha must have a spirit, and immediately chanted the Buddha's name again.

At the foot of the mountain, the moment the post flew away, Sun Wukong felt a little relaxed all over his body. He was extremely excited, and resisted the feeling of breaking free immediately, waiting for Tang Xuanzang to go down the mountain.

Tang Xuanzang went down to the foot of the mountain and told Monkey King that the post had flown away by itself, and asked Monkey King how to get out?
"Master, without that post, my old grandson can break the mountain and come out by himself. I'm afraid the gravel will hurt the master. Master, please go far away first." Sun Wukong shouted.

Tang Xuanzang nodded, left the mountain, and rode a white horse away from the mountain.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, Sun Wukong seemed to release the 500-year-old grievance, shattering the Five Elements Mountain in an instant, and flying out.

"Hahahaha, come out, my old grandson is finally out!" Sun Wukong roared, his excitement was beyond words.

After being excited, I thought that it was Tang Xuanzang who rescued me. Sun Wukong, the great sage equal to heaven, repays his kindness. He promised to worship Tang Xuanzang as his teacher and protect him from the west to learn Buddhist scriptures. .

The two masters and apprentices got together, Sun Wukong fell to the ground, formally apprenticed to the master, and then the two masters and apprentices began the journey to learn from the Western Paradise.

At the same time, Guanyin Bodhisattva was hiding in the sky. First, he saw that although Sun Wukong was eager to get away, he was afraid of hurting Tang Xuanzang and he endured until Tang Xuanzang went far before breaking out of the mountain. Tang Xuanzang began to seek Buddhist scriptures from the Western Paradise, and Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded in satisfaction before leaving.
