Zongman: Start from Armor Hero and blast the infinite

Chapter 507: The Journey to the West Ends
"Master, I..."

Red Boy was still a little reluctant. After all, he had followed Wang Ming around killing people and eating and drinking all kinds of food for a long time. He could no longer return to his normal peaceful life.

It was much more comfortable to follow Wang Ming than to act like a tyrant in Kusongjian before, while Wang Ming just laughed and cursed.

"Okay, I know what you're thinking. You're such a grown-up, but you're still so petty. It's as if your brothers will never leave Buddhism again. Even if I'm not around, you can still go out and beg for money with them."

"Well, then I'm leaving, Master."

Although he was reluctant to leave, Red Boy knew that his parents would not be at ease if he did not leave, so he rode his Fire Cloud and rushed towards Jilei Mountain.

With his speed, it would probably only take half a day to get back to Jilei Mountain. Now everyone had every right to step onto the steps leading to Lingshan.

After walking for about ten minutes, the group finally arrived at the halfway point of Lingshan Mountain. All the Buddhas of Lingshan Mountain were on the top of the mountain, while the halfway point was mostly the residence of some Arhats.

The same plot as in the original novel happened. Venerable Kashyapa and Venerable Ananda came over to ask for bribes. Looking at their deliberately philistine smiles, Wang Ming also replied with a smile.

"Don't try anything against me, or I'll kill you."

The two were frightened and held back the words they were about to say. After all, in the original novel, the reason why the two dared to take on this challenge was mainly because Tang Seng was not Wang Ming.

In the original novel, Tang Seng has a very good temper and is not very strong, so he can be bullied at will. Now it’s Wang Ming who takes his place, and anyone who dares to make any small moves will die miserably.

In this way, the two of them obediently led Wang Ming to Lingshan. Sun Wukong was already very familiar with this place. After all, he had been here several times, although each time he came to ask for help.

Now that his mission was complete, Sun Wukong actually felt a little lost. After all, this meant that from now on, he and his disciples would not be able to eat meat, drink wine, kill monsters they disliked, and take revenge together like they did before.

"Amitabha, I am the Tathagata Buddha. We have come to the West to complete our journey and seek the true scriptures. I hope you will not be ignorant."

At the last stage, Wang Ming was too lazy to act anymore and spoke very rudely. It felt like a worker who had signed his resignation form and dared to yell at his boss.

"Amitabha, you have worked hard. If that is the case, please take the scriptures. You have made outstanding contributions and should be enthroned as the Buddha of Lingshan Mountain to save all sentient beings in the world."

After hearing Wang Ming's words, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were a little angry, but Tathagata spoke calmly and nonchalantly, and even began to prepare to reward them according to their merits.

After hearing his words, Wang Ming glanced at his disciples calmly. Before going to Lingshan, Wang Ming had already told them that if anyone did not want to join Buddhism, they could just leave and he would help them.

But surprisingly, among the five disciples, except Red Boy, all the others were willing, so there was no need for Wang Ming to stop it. Tathagata brought Sun Wukong and others into Buddhism, and everyone has their own aspirations, so there was nothing that could be done about it.

It is better to say that many people want to enter the upper echelons of Buddhism but have no chance. Even if they are just hanging around in the upper echelons without real power, they have the support of the mighty mountain of Buddhism. Even the Heavenly Court dare not touch Buddhists casually.

Even if you die and are reincarnated, there are Buddhists in the underworld. It is no exaggeration to say that Buddhism is indeed a good destination, at least for the unambitious Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.

As for Sun Wukong, Wang Ming had no idea what he was thinking, while Liu'er Mihou had always wanted to cling to Buddhism, and Bai Longma did so because of family reasons.

In short, his mount, including these four disciples, all had various reasons for joining Buddhism.

If they were really master and apprentice, Wang Ming would definitely stop them and become their backer, but Wang Ming was just a passer-by in the prehistoric world.

So there is no need to cheat people. After all, no one will be afraid of him after he leaves. The principle of "people leave and tea gets cold" is universal. If Wang Ming really follows his own ideas and forcibly gets them out of Buddhism, then after he leaves, Sun Wukong and others will face extremely terrible revenge from Buddhism.

This is why there is no need to cheat others. The degree of shamelessness in Buddhism is beyond ordinary people's imagination.

"Amitabha, my lifelong wish is to educate the people, and becoming a Buddha is absolutely impossible."

Wang Ming also directly rejected Tathagata's proposal for reward, and then he directly cut off the causal line that Jie Yin and Zhunti had secretly thrown at him.

Seeing this, Tathagata did not dare to force him. After all, Wang Ming's strength was there, and he did not even dare to say a word excessive, so he had to give up the idea of ​​winning over Wang Ming.

"In that case, I will not force you any more. Are you willing to join my Buddhism?"

Tathagata could only change the subject and turn his attention to Sun Wukong and the others, and Sun Wukong and the others gave an answer that satisfied all the Buddhas.

"We are willing to join Buddhism."

Several people answered in unison, and then it was time for Tathagata to give them titles, exactly the same as in the original book.

Zhu Bajie took on the sinecure of an altar cleaner.

Sun Wukong became the Fighting Buddha.

The six-eared macaque became the Bodhisattva of Wide Hearing.

Little White Dragon became one of the Eight Heavenly Dragons.

The worst one has to be Sha Wujing. After all, he has no background and no strength, and he can only get a small position as a golden-body arhat.

After seeing that all his disciples had obtained titles, Wang Ming simply took the scriptures and walked back to Chang'an.

For his several disciples, the journey to the West had ended perfectly, but not for Wang Ming, as he still had one last step to complete.

The last thing to do on the journey to the West is to spread Mahayana Buddhism, which is also the most meritorious thing.

Wang Ming would not give up the opportunity to gain such great merit for free, so he successfully transformed himself into Tang Monk in the original novel and began to preach Mahayana Buddhism for seventy years.

After all, this job is the easiest. If Wang Ming is unwilling to preach, there are plenty of Buddhists waiting to take over. No Bodhisattva or Buddha would not be tempted. This can be regarded as fleecing Buddhism.

After Wang Ming had preached for seventy years, he ascended to heaven in full view of everyone and passed away completely.

This also means that the Mahayana Buddhism has been completely preached. At the moment when Wang Ming pretended to pass away, great merit descended from the sky, golden lotuses emerged from the ground, and holy songs were sung in the sky.

A terrifying force of merit was instantly injected into Wang Ming's halo of merit, which meant that the great calamity of the Journey to the West was completely over and his mission was accomplished.
