Chapter 551: Buddhist Compromise, True and False Monkey King
When the two saints from the West heard what Hongjun Daozu said, they were unwilling in their hearts, but they could not refute it.
After all, the existence of Joy Zen is a fact that cannot be denied by Buddhism. Zhunti Taoist had no choice but to bite the bullet and say.
"Master, although Joy Zen is a branch of our Buddhist sect, there are very few disciples who practice this method, and most of them are people with special opportunities."
"Tang Sanzang is the Buddhist monk who is on a quest for Buddhist scriptures. He shoulders a heavy responsibility. If he delays his quest for scriptures because of marrying a wife, it may affect the completion of the Journey to the West."
Upon hearing this, Daozu Hongjun frowned slightly, and after a moment's silence, he said, "This matter is indeed a bit tricky. Niu Kui, since you, Jiejiao, have intervened in this matter, do you have a proper solution?"
Niu Kui smiled calmly and said, "Daozu, this matter is actually not difficult to solve. Tang Sanzang's marriage does not affect his determination to obtain the scriptures."
"On the contrary, we can use this opportunity to let Buddhist disciples understand that the seven emotions and six desires are not a scourge. As long as there is Buddha in one's heart, one will not be disturbed by the secular world."
"Besides, Tang Sanzang and the Queen of Xiliang are destined to be together. Forcibly breaking them up would be against the will of heaven. Why not help them get married and then go to the West to seek the scriptures?"
Daozu Hongjun nodded, seeming to agree with Niu Kui's statement. He turned and looked at the two saints in the west.
"What Niu Kui said makes sense. The calamity of the Journey to the West is destined by heaven. Whether Tang Sanzang gets married or not will not affect the overall situation."
"You Buddhists don't have to be too rigid about the rules and regulations. Following the way of heaven is the right way. After all, the union of yin and yang to produce offspring is the way of heaven. Even you Buddhists cannot change that."
When the two saints from the West heard what Hongjun Daozu said, although they felt unwilling, they could only nod in agreement.
The Taoist Jie Yin sighed and said, "Since Master said so, then my Buddhist sect will no longer prevent the marriage between Tang Sanzang and the Queen of Xiliang."
"But I hope Jiejiao won't go too far. After all, we Buddhists have our dignity too. We can't afford to be rubbed by him again and again."
Niu Kui smiled slightly and said to the Taoist: "Of course. As long as the Buddhist sect does not embarrass Tang Sanzang anymore, I, Jiejiao, will not interfere."
When Daozu Hongjun saw that both parties had reached an agreement, he waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, this matter ends here. You can each retreat and don't start any more disputes."
Upon hearing this, the two saints from the West bid farewell to Daozu Hongjun and returned directly to the Paradise.
Looking at the two saints from the West, whose expressions were uglier than their mothers' death, Niu Kui felt so happy. He immediately said goodbye to Hongjun Daozu and led everyone back to Penglai Island.
After returning to Penglai Island, Niu Kui asked Laozi and Lingbao Tianzun, who were waiting on Penglai Island, to take Chang'er Dingguangxian to Shangqing Fairyland and hand him over to Tongtian Jiaozhu for disposal.
At the same time, in the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang, the marriage between Tang Sanzang and the Queen of Xiliang was also going smoothly.
Although Buddhism still had some reservations about this matter, under the mediation of Hongjun Daozu, Buddhism finally chose to acquiesce.
After Tang Sanzang and Pipa got married, they stayed in the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang for more than a month before embarking on the journey to the west again.
Although Pipa was reluctant to leave and even wanted to travel west with Tang Sanzang, she was rejected by Tang Sanzang in the end and asked to wait for him in Xiliang Women's Kingdom.
It could take more than ten years, or three to five years, before he could come back to reunite with her. Then the two of them would never be separated again.
Helplessly, Pipa could only watch Tang Sanzang and his disciples reluctantly as they left the Western Liang Women's Kingdom and headed to the Great Leiyin Temple on Lingshan Mountain in the West to worship Buddha and obtain Buddhist scriptures.
After leaving the Western Liang Kingdom, the master and his disciples encountered several difficulties, but they were all easily overcome. This also made the master and his disciples gradually let down their guard. Little did they know that the Western Buddhist sect was brewing a bigger conspiracy.
One day, Subhuti brought a monkey who looked exactly like Sun Wukong to the presence of Duobao Tathagata.
He then said to Duobao Tathagata: "It is time for me, the spiritual stone monkey of the Western Buddhist sect, to replace Sun Wukong."
While speaking, he took out a unique golden cudgel and gave it to the monkey trained by the Buddhist sect.
Duobao Tathagata nodded, and then asked Subhuti: "I wonder how Patriarch Bodhi plans to arrange for my Buddhist Lingming Stone Monkey to replace Sun Wukong."
Patriarch Bodhi smiled and said, "This is easy. I have already arranged everything. It won't be long before Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong have an internal fight and drive Sun Wukong away."
"Then we can take advantage of this opportunity to have our Buddhist stone monkey replace Sun Wukong. Then we can stage a scene of the true and false Monkey King."
"Eventually, the two will come to my Great Leiyin Temple and ask my Buddha to help them distinguish the true from the false. Then my Buddha can kill Sun Wukong and complete his plan to replace him."
After hearing this, Duobao Tathagata could not help cursing Subhuti in his heart for being despicable and shameless. However, he did not show any emotion on the surface and even nodded.
At the same time, Tang Sanzang and his disciples were robbed by bandits, which reminded Tang Sanzang of the true and false Monkey King that Sun Wukong had mentioned.
Then he asked Sun Wukong in the master-disciple chat group: "According to what you said last time, after you kill these bandits, your master will drive you away."
"Then the fake monkey will take advantage of the situation and try to replace you as Sun Wukong. Follow me to the Lingshan Mountain in the West to worship Buddha and learn scriptures."
"I wonder what you are going to do now. Are you going to play a big show with the Buddhist sect? Or are you not going to give the Buddhist sect any chance?"
Sun Wukong said with a big smile: "Even if you don't drive me away, the Buddhist sect will find a way to get that fake monkey here."
"Since it cannot be avoided, why not just use the counter-insurgency trick to defeat the fake monkey. Otherwise, we may be caught off guard when the fake monkey will make a move."
After hearing this, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but say: "Brother Monkey is right, everything must be under the control of our master and disciple, so that we can be invincible."
"If one day this monkey is killed while we are sleeping and replaced with a fake one, we may not know it yet."
Sun Wukong was not willing to argue with Zhu Bajie, because he just deserved a beating. He would just give him a beating when he had the chance.
The master and his disciples made up their minds, and Sun Wukong followed the original script. All the bandits were killed, and then Tang Sanzang drove Sun Wukong away.
This inevitably gave the fake monkey hiding in the dark an opportunity. He immediately followed Subhuti's instructions and staged a play to steal Xingli.
Little did he know that his actions had already been seen by Tang Sanzang and his disciples. They were just playing along with him.
But what the Western Buddhists did not expect was that Tang Sanzang did not realize that the monkey was fake. Even Sun Wukong was nowhere to be found.
This sudden change inevitably made Subhuti a little uneasy. After all, he could not feel at ease until Sun Wukong died.
Then they secretly found the fake monkey and made him reveal some flaws so that Tang Sanzang and his friends could find out. Then they captured Tang Sanzang and used this to lure out Sun Wukong. (End of this chapter)
