I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

Jiang Wang has been in the prehistoric world for a long time and is no longer the same person he was when he first arrived. His biggest hobby in the Heavenly Palace is listening to his colleagues gossip about all kinds of secrets.

Now he just wants to live a good life and then solve the mystery step by step. What happened in Honghuang?
As for other messy so-called secrets, he would listen if he could, and not listen if he couldn't. He was not someone who had to know all the secrets of the prehistoric world.

Jiang Wang's indifferent attitude made Liu'er Mihou feel his defenses were broken.

Why has he been kept alive by Ran Deng for so many years? Isn't it so that he can eavesdrop on the intelligence of the prehistoric world?

This value of being needed allowed Liu'er Mihou to survive for a very long time.

Even after he became Randang's disciple, there were still many immortals and gods who wanted to obtain some secrets from him.

If not for that Heavenly King Dhritarashtra who forcibly sealed him here, he would still be a guest of honor among all the immortals and gods at this moment.

As a result, now suddenly someone who doesn't need his value appears, and Liu'er Mihou is broken.

"You can't do this! You can't do this! If it weren't for you, how could I be trapped here!" The six-eared macaque bared his teeth and growled at Jiang Wang. Jiang Wang had a calm expression and ignored him at all.

He could sense that the monkey opposite him was pretending.

He has so many spiritual treasures on him, it shouldn't be too easy to see through people's hearts.

The piece of the Jade Disc of Creation that had been with Jiang Wang since the beginning of the time travel was acting as a scanner all the time.

The Jade Disc of Creation has many uses. Not only can it upgrade martial arts techniques, but it can also make it easy to see through people's hearts.

Sun Wukong's flaming eyes can see through the true form of demons. Although Jiang Wang's eyes cannot see through the true form of demons, they can see through the minds of all living things.

Jiang Wang's silence was deafening. The six-eared macaque could no longer pretend. He hunched over and whispered, "Save me. I don't want to fall into the calamity. I don't want to be the enemy of the stone monkey who is responsible for the calamity. If I go, I will surely die. I don't know how many eons have passed since I was born. I finally found a way to practice and a way forward! I don't want to die like this."

In the end, Liu'er Mihou couldn't hold on any longer. He looked at Jiang Wang helplessly and sighed.

Jiang Wang ignored him.

Save, why save?
"Give me a reason to save you."

However, although he had no good feelings towards Liu'er Mihou, Jiang Wang was still curious why Liu'er Mihou was so sure that he would help him.

Jiang Wang thought that he should not be famous in Lingshan. Even if he was famous, it would be a bad reputation. After all, he openly rejected the ancient Buddha Dipankara over the East China Sea.

The ancient Buddha rejected Ran Deng in front of the old Dragon King and Bai Ze, which made Ran Deng lose face.

Also, when Maitreya Buddha talked with him in heaven, Jiang Wang did not give Maitreya Buddha any face.

It can be said that among the three factions in Lingshan, the leaders of two factions did not get the best deal with Jiang Wang.

Even now, the Buddha Tathagata, Jiang Wang’s interactions with Him are not good.

When Jiang Wang followed Zhao Gongming to Xiniu Hezhou, Zhao Gongming's actions could be said to have embarrassed the Buddha.

In the eyes of Tathagata Buddha, Jiang Wang, who went with Zhao Gongming, was probably not much better than Zhao Gongming.

Fortunately, Jiang Wang is not a celestial being who relies on Lingshan for his livelihood. If it were the Four Heavenly Kings, Li Tianwang, and the others, who had lost face for Lingshan, their days would probably have been difficult. They are all famous celestial beings in the heaven who are close to Lingshan.

When Liu'er Mihou heard Jiang Wang's request for a reason, his eyes, which had originally been dull, suddenly brightened up.

He raised his head and stared at Jiang Wang for a long time before saying, "Would you like to hear me tell you about my past?"

"I'm busy, so I'll make it short." Jiang Wang was not interested in the past of Liu'er Mihou, but he was very interested in which Buddha in Lingshan had saved the most elusive monkey among the Four Monkeys in the long past.

What was the Buddha's intention in saving the monkey?

If the other party came here for the Journey to the West catastrophe, then... then the other party must have planned for this matter for at least several eons in advance.

Could it be that this Buddha could have survived several great calamities and knew about the great calamity of the journey to the west?
Jiang Wang thought it was impossible.

If the Buddha behind the Six-Eared Macaque was really that powerful, he wouldn't have to keep the Six-Eared Macaque.

After all, even if there was no Six-Eared Macaque during the Journey to the West, the Buddha Tathagata could have united various forces to create something similar to the Six-Eared Macaque. For the Heavenly Palace and Lingshan, this kind of thing would be a piece of cake.

"When I was born, I was sentenced to death by the Taoist Ancestor." Liu'er Mihou sighed.

Jiang Wang glanced at the monkey sitting on the ground, and what he said was true.

Although the Taoist's words "The Dharma will not be passed on to Liu'er" did not refer to Liu'er, it still affected this monkey.

"Later, I was lucky enough to learn some basic cultivation methods from the monkey tribe. With my natural talent, I continued to hone my skills in the Celestial Realm, but I was never able to make any further progress."

"I was originally dead in the witch-lich catastrophe. That long catastrophe not only took the lives of countless monsters, witches, and humans, but also took my life. The lifespan of a celestial being is only a million years."

"It was the ancient Buddha Ran Deng who saved me. Oh, at that time, he was not an ancient Buddha, but just an ordinary great power in the prehistoric world. He had a bad reputation, but I didn't mind it because he saved me. Ran Deng extended my life many times, allowing me, a celestial being with a lifespan of only one million years, to survive until the Conferred God Tribulation period."

The monkey stopped talking here, and Jiang Wang continued, "After the Conferred God Tribulation, did Ran Deng accept you as his disciple?"

"Well, from then on, I became a disciple of the ancient Buddha Ran Deng, and nominally a disciple of Lingshan. It was also from that time that I finally started to practice, to practice seriously."

"I have a good talent. Not long after the great calamity of Conferred Gods, I was promoted to the Xuanxian realm without any obstacles." The six-eared macaque seemed a little complacent.

Jiang Wang, however, secretly despised him.

That's it?

He had average talent, but didn't he manage to reach the Xuanxian realm in a very short period of time?

The Spiritual Stone Monkey was even more incredible. In just a hundred years, he rushed to the Taiyi Golden Fairyland with lightning and thunder all the way! His combat power was only slightly inferior to Yang Jian, and even Nezha could hardly gain any advantage from him.

He can be said to be the most exaggerated practitioner since the beginning of the ancient times.

Seeing that Jiang Wang didn't answer, the six-eared macaque looked Jiang Wang up and down, and a look of shock began to appear on his face: "When did you become a Xuanxian?"

Perhaps because the monkey's shock made him laugh, Jiang Wang's attitude towards Liu'er Macaque became much better.

This guy is actually a poor guy.

After living for such a long time, he was only able to formally start practicing during the Great Tribulation of the Conferred Gods. All the time in between was ruined by a word from the Taoist Ancestor.

In terms of seniority, he was born much earlier than Zhao Gongming.

Today, Zhao Gongming is wandering on the path to becoming a Golden Immortal, pursuing the ultimate Tao and trying to transcend.

But what about this monkey?
Still struggling in the Xuanxian realm.

If he wasn't needed in the future, he would have been beaten to death by someone else.

Does the Buddha behind him really want to accept him as his disciple?

Jiang Wang didn’t think so. If he really wanted to take him as his disciple, why would he have to wait until the great catastrophe of the Conferred God?

In such a long time, even if he didn't accept him as a disciple, couldn't he have given him a way to practice? He would rather keep the six-eared macaque alive than give him hope, and when the monkey was about to collapse, he threw out this hope, wasn't it just to make the monkey grateful to Lingshan or the master?

"Yes, I have already been promoted to Xuanxian, and now I am looking for an opportunity to explore the nature of gold." Jiang Wang was in a much better mood and was willing to explain to Liu'er Mihou.

The Golden Immortals of the prehistoric world are different from high-level practitioners in any other world.

For example, in the Zhutian Universe, only when one reaches the realm of the Great Emperor will one consciously seek for "immortality matter" to prolong one's lifespan through it.

The life span of the emperor will eventually come to an end. Even those forbidden zone supreme beings who cut themselves in pieces and extend their life span through various means will also have a moment when their life span will run out.

Only when you become an immortal in the mortal world can you live longer.

The same is true in the Confucian and Taoist world. Even if a semi-saint is a saint, his lifespan is just that.

Because they don't seem to pay attention to exploring the "gold nature". The "gold" in the Golden Immortal means eternity, but this eternity is only eternity within the world.

For example, the Golden Immortal of the prehistoric world can exist forever in the prehistoric world, unless the prehistoric world is broken and ceases to exist. In this case, the Golden Immortal of the prehistoric world will fall into a life-and-death situation with the destruction of the prehistoric world.

The golden immortals of the ancient times went to foreign lands. As long as their golden nature was not destroyed, even if only a trace of their soul was left, they could still be reborn with full blood and enjoy eternity when they returned to the ancient times.

However, the "golden nature" is extremely mysterious. It is something that is difficult to grasp even when a Xuanxian has stepped through the threshold. Many Jinxians cannot even figure out how they found that elusive golden nature after being promoted. It is very special.

Therefore, Jiang Wang is stuck in this place and feels very uncomfortable.

Of course, now it is actually far from the time for him to look for the Golden Nature, because he has not even seen the threshold between the Xuanxian and the Jinxian!

The reason why he told Liu'er Mihou this was just to stimulate the monkey and make him reveal more of his thoughts.

If used properly, this six-eared macaque might be able to greatly increase Jiang Wang's say in the great calamity of the journey to the West.

"Why are you practicing so fast?" Liu Er Mihou stared at Jiang Wang, suspiciously asking, "Does your master assist you day and night, allowing you to have a smooth journey? Does your sect dote on its disciples so much?" Jiang Wang nodded without commenting, "Aren't you talking about yourself? Why are you dragging me into this?"

A trace of surprise flashed across the eyes of the six-eared macaque. He stared at Jiang Wang for a long time, and finally sighed: "They have been waiting for you for a long time. I thought that after you appeared, there would be many immortals and gods scrambling to take you under their command. I didn't expect that you would become a disciple of the Human Sect in the end. It really surprised me. Now it seems that your choice is correct."

"The Human Religion has few disciples, so it is normal for them to be so caring. I originally thought you would become a disciple of the Great Celestial Venerable, but now it seems that joining the Human Religion is the path that suits you best."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Wang was curious.

The six-eared macaque hung his head and said, "I have heard several Buddhas talking about you. The Tathagata Buddha was originally planning to bring you to Lingshan when you first showed your potential, but they were warned before they could do so."

"Who warned you?" Jiang Wang didn't care about listening to Liu'er Mihou's story at this moment.

"Who else could it be? Of course it's Queen Wa."

The six-eared macaque was helpless: "Emperor Nuwa is a saint. His contribution to the human race has gradually lost its original shape amid the surge of human destiny. When Tathagata Buddha was preparing to save you to Lingshan, Emperor Nuwa sent down a saintly decree. The people in Lingshan were so frightened that no one dared to mention saving you anymore. Only Maitreya Buddha, who was close to you, came to talk to you for a few words. Am I right?"

"So this kind of thing has happened before. Then why did the ancient Buddha Ran Deng block me in the East China Sea?"

"You mean my master? Isn't it normal for my master to block you? Unlike Tathagata Buddha, he should be one of the few Buddhas in Lingshan who will not be scared by Queen Wa, right? After all, my master was born at a similar time to Queen Wa, and the two of you call each other fellow Taoists. Queen Wa's decree was for Lingshan, not for my master."

"Is your master the Buddha Dipankara?" Jiang Wang stared. My goodness, after going around in circles, he finally came to the ancient Buddha Dipankara. How come he is everywhere?
"So your master is the Buddha Dipankara. Why didn't he help you out of this predicament?"

"Oh, how could he help me escape? I'm trapped here, half because of him." The six-eared macaque had coldness in his eyes: "Why did I come to Dongsheng Shenzhou in the first place? It was because my master told me that there was an opportunity for me in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and my opportunity was with the dragon girl. My master told me that as long as I captured the dragon girl, I could get a weapon suitable for me from the Dragon King of the East China Sea!"

"Do you believe him?"

"Master has never lied to me."

"this time?"

"He still didn't lie to me this time." The six-eared macaque stared at Jiang Wang: "You know that, right? You must know that after the stone monkey on the Flower-Fruit Mountain was born, he was plotted by all the immortals to go to the Dragon Palace to seek treasures! There are countless treasures in the Dragon Palace, but the only thing that can become a weapon for the stone monkey is the Dinghai Shenzhen Iron."

"The treasure that Master originally asked me to take was the Dinghai Shenzhen Iron." The six-eared macaque's eyes flashed: "But Master asked me to take the Dinghai Shenzhen Iron not because he wanted me to be good, but because he wanted me to die, to die in the hands of the Lingshan Buddha, so that the stone monkey would be at peace!"

Jiang Wang looked at Liu Er Mihou. How did he know what happened during the great catastrophe of the journey to the west?

In Jiang Wang's understanding of the great tribulation of the Journey to the West, the Six-Eared Macaque was indeed a tool. After fighting with Sun Wukong, he was captured by the Buddha with his bowl, and was finally beaten to death by Sun Wukong, leaving no survivors.

Although there were many conspiracy theories in the past, saying that the monkey received by the Buddha in his bowl was not the Six-Eared Macaque, but Sun Wukong, and that the one who was beaten to death in the end was not the Six-Eared Macaque, but Sun Wukong.

But Jiang Wang might have believed this before, but now he has no reason to believe it.

If Jiang Wang had heard similar conspiracy theories in his previous life, he might have believed them to some extent.

But in this life, he never had such an idea.

Because when the stone monkey was born, the eyes of many forces were destined to be on him at all times.

If Tathagata Buddha really dared to risk the world's condemnation and let the six-eared macaque kill Sun Wukong in public, there would only be one consequence!
That means the journey to the west can no longer go on.

The Great Tribulation of the Journey to the West is essentially a feast for division among the many immortals and gods in the prehistoric world. All the immortals and gods know what they are doing and what they are going to do, and the actions of these immortals and gods basically need to be arranged around Sun Wukong.

To put it bluntly, Sun Wukong is a tool for the great calamity on the journey to the West, and he is a tool designated by heaven, the kind that is guaranteed by many parties.

First of all, he was born from a colorful stone. Although Nuwa never said that Sun Wukong had any relationship with her, the stone could not be faked.

Sun Wukong was born from a multicolored stone and inherited a share of the karma from Nuwa.

Nuwa is the Holy Mother of the human race. Nowadays, humanity is prosperous and the fortune of the human race is unparalleled. Although Nuwa is gradually no longer worshipped by the human race, the fortune of humanity will not forget this Holy Mother of the human race. After all, without this Holy Mother of the human race, the human race would not be born, and the fortune of humanity would not be as prosperous as it is now.

Therefore, Sun Wukong was born with a cause and effect relationship with the human race.

This cause and effect often appeared in various forms during the journey to the West. On the way, Sun Wukong was punished by Tang Sanzang several times because he provoked the human race. After these times, Sun Wukong became much smarter. Every time he saw the human race, he would restrain himself again and again. When the human race asked for help, he would help again and again and never shirked his responsibility.

Moreover, after witnessing the operations of various immortals and gods, this guy started to offer incense and sacrifices to himself.

In addition to the two causes and effects mentioned above, the Heavenly Court, the Great Celestial Lord, the Three Religions, and even all the immortals and gods in the prehistoric world, all those who bet on Sun Wukong, have more or less causes and effects involved.

These causes and effects are not obvious on a normal day, but at the critical moment, they will be obvious!

There are three factions in Lingshan, each of which is independent of the other, and each has different connections with Sun Wukong.

There is no direct relationship between Tathagata Buddha and Sun Wukong. His relationship is Tang Sanzang. Tang Sanzang's previous life, Jin Chanzi, was a great disciple of Tathagata Buddha. Therefore, all matters on the journey to the West are under the jurisdiction of the current Buddhist lineage. The person in charge of this matter is Guanyin Bodhisattva. Sun Wukong will only ask Tathagata Buddha for help when Guanyin Bodhisattva cannot solve the problem.

The other two factions, the Buddha of the Past and the Buddha of the Future, cannot personally snatch people from Tathagata Buddha, so they can only use other means. The means of the Future Buddha faction are simple and crude.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva went to the underworld to seize control of the underworld.

Maitreya Buddha directly set up one of the eighty-one tribulations in the journey to the West, which is the one at the Little Leiyin Temple.

During this ordeal, Sun Wukong begged for help from his grandfather and grandmother, but they were unable to do anything about the Yellow Wind Monster. After all, the Yellow Wind Monster was the demon of Maitreya Buddha.

Ordinary immortals cannot unlock the treasures of Maitreya Buddha.

Those powerful ones just ignored Sun Wukong.

In the end, Sun Wukong was really out of options, and Maitreya Buddha finally came and helped Sun Wukong subdue the Yellow Wind Monster, and the difficulty was over.

It can be seen that the attitudes towards Sun Wukong within Lingshan are also different. At least Maitreya Buddha and Tathagata Buddha have two different attitudes towards Sun Wukong.

In this way, the conspiracy theory that Sun Wukong was the one caught by the bowl is self-defeating.

The present Buddha lineage and the future Buddha lineage are not to say that they are incompatible, but at least they dislike each other.

Even if Tathagata Buddha really wanted to deal with the troublesome Sun Wukong, he would not kill him blatantly. Not only was there no need for that, but it would not gain the approval of other forces. If something really went wrong and the journey to the West could not be completed, the Buddha's lineage would be the ones to suffer in the end.

The cause and effect left by the two saints is not so easy to repay.

In addition, Jiang Wang was thinking that there would be a small catastrophe after the great catastrophe of the journey to the west.

After Tang Sanzang and his entourage completed their journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures, heaven and earth rejoiced, thinking that the calamity had passed. However, who would have thought that Tathagata Buddha passed away three hundred years later, and Lingshan Mountain underwent a strange change. Kinnara, who was originally a Buddha, became a demon, returned to Lingshan Mountain, occupied it, and proclaimed himself "Wutian Buddha".

This little robbery was also a farce.

In Jiang Wang's opinion, this farce was actually more of a humiliation for the Heavenly Court, and it was also an alternative way of repaying merits.

After all, Wu Tian caused great suffering to all living beings in the six realms, and both the Heaven and Lingshan were brought disaster by Wu Tian. In the end, it was Sun Wukong, who became the Fighting Buddha, who slayed demons and monsters along the way, successfully defeated Wu Tian, ​​and restored peace to the six realms.

As a result, the merits that had not been repaid during the great calamity of the journey to the west were completely repaid through Wu Tian's disturbance.

From then on, Lingshan and the Heavenly Dao owed each other nothing, the issue of merits left by Zhunti Jieying was perfectly resolved, and the relationship between Lingshan and Western religions was almost severed. The two saints truly disappeared from then on, and never took action in the prehistoric world again.

Jiang Wang pondered for a moment and asked, "How do you know the progress of the Journey to the West?"

The six-eared macaque said, "The Taoist master told me this."

"Daozu?"

"Ever since I was sent by my master to Dongsheng Shenzhou to intercept the dragon girl but failed and was trapped here, I have been able to hear the conversation between Daozu and a saint. I don't know what the saint said, but I can hear Daozu's words clearly every time."

The six-eared macaque recalled, "The Taoist master told that the journey to the west involves eighty-one difficulties, and I am one of them. In order to make me exactly like the stone monkey, he specially prepared a weapon for me, called the Sui Xin Iron Rod Weapon. As long as I break the seal, I can go to the South Sea and get it."

"What are your plans?"

"I don't want to go! Why do you want me to replace the stone monkey? I am not the only one of the Four Chaos Monkeys in the world. Wuzhiqi, who fought against the Human Emperor Dayu, is the Red-butted Horse Monkey, one of the Four Chaos Monkeys. He is now sealed under the Huai River. Why not let him replace the stone monkey?"

"Yuan Hong, who is under the command of Erlang Shen Yang Jian, is actually a monkey. Why doesn't he replace the stone monkey? As for abilities, he can also perform 72 transformations. He should replace the stone monkey! Why did he choose me?"

The six-eared macaque's voice gradually grew louder, and the more he spoke, the angrier he became.

He is himself, he is not a substitute for the stone monkey.

But in this ancient world, everyone is plotting against him!
Even his master wants him dead!
"Help me, as long as I can escape this disaster, I will do whatever you ask for in the future!" The six-eared macaque knelt on the ground and begged sincerely.

He really had no choice.

Daozu personally appointed him, and he had to go into the calamity even if he didn't want to.

He knew that only the person in front of him could help him.

No matter what, you can only ask for it.

Jiang Wang did not answer Liu'er Mihou immediately.

He should have agreed to Liu'er Mihou immediately, because Liu'er Mihou was very special. Compared with other beings with innate magical powers, Liu'er Mihou's ability was to listen to everything in the prehistoric world. (End of this chapter)
