I started with Dragon Elephant Prajna, and I pushed forward with my skill points.

Chapter 141 The Five Poisons of Human Nature: Chang'e is Not a Toad, She's a Jade Rabbit; Where Did Jiang Ziya Go?

"Now, with the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram and the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords in my hands, who can rival me except for my sister?"

Even more surprisingly, a bold idea began to take root in Qiongxiao's mind.

Perhaps, with the help of the complete Zhuxian Sword Formation, it wouldn't be impossible to clash with the eldest sister.

Even with Mr. Su, Yunxiao was full of confidence.

However, it was just a casual doodle that allowed Qiongxiao, the younger sister, to perfectly master the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

This method is simply outrageous!
It was beyond her understanding of cultivation.

Of course, it's just so lovable.

……

Lingshan!

Even so, in the first instance, the four top ten quasi-saints of Buddhism—Buddha Tathagata, Kong Xuan, the Ancient Buddha of Reception, and Patriarch Bodhi—all took action to restore Mount Ling.

Furthermore, the believers of the Three Thousand Heavens and the Eastern Lapis Lazuli World were transferred to Mount Ling.

At first glance, Lingshan seems to have restored the magnificent scenery of the Saha Pure Land of the past.

In fact, any normal person could sense that Lingshan was filled with a sense of sorrow.

Right!

This time, Buddhism suffered a devastating defeat, losing both its prey and its resources.

Without the Zhuxian Sword Formation, it's uncertain whether Buddha Tathagata can retain his title as the number one figure in Buddhism.

Most importantly, the Buddha now has two more enemies: Wuyun Xian and Jin Chanzi.

Jin Chanzi was still his disciple.

Who can I talk to about this?
Meanwhile, the collapse of Lingshan also caused a large number of deaths and injuries.

The Great Formation of Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Ancestor was broken, and a monument was erected after Ksitigarbha's Fist was unleashed. Too many Buddhist masters also died.

It would be strange if the Buddha's heart were at peace.

Even the Lord of Mount Ling is like this.

What good mood can you expect from other Buddhist monks?

At this moment, the Buddha of Guidance was also in a bad mood.

However, he knew very well that now was not the time for grief; he needed to pull himself together to face the changes to come.

"Gentlemen, there's no need to be too discouraged. Although various unexpected events have occurred, everything is still under control."

At this time, in order to put the minds of the many Buddhas in Buddhism at ease, the Ancient Buddha of Amitabha Buddha had no choice but to reveal that he could guide the true form, which was a shadow of the Guide Daoist.

"Now that I have achieved enlightenment in my dream, I can draw upon the power of my true self to descend."

Below the saints are all ants.

At that time, life and death will be entirely in my hands!

saint!

Is the Ancient Buddha of Amitabha able to unleash the power of a saint?
If the Buddha were still the most powerful person in the world, this would not actually be good news for him.

This means that there is now another person above him.

Now, the power of the sages that can be drawn upon has become a savior, making the Buddha's back even stronger.

"Although this projection incident exposed our connection with the Heavenly Court and the Demon Clan."

However, from the perspective of the higher-ups, our connections with the demon race and the Heavenly Court were common knowledge, so this matter did not have a significant impact overall.

Next, we need to follow the previous plan: have the monkey join the demon race's Heavenly Court, accept their offer of amnesty, and then let him be bullied, thus causing chaos in the Heavenly Palace.

Guanyin is the overall commander of the Journey to the West, so it's normal to entrust the task to her.

After resolving the arrangements for the Journey to the West, another issue was raised.

"At the same time, resolving the Nezha issue and obtaining the Three-Legged Golden Crow is what we promised to Haotian Jinque."

Everyone in the Immortal Realm knows this.

For the sake of Buddhism's prestigious reputation, Nezha must die!
The original plan was to have the Demon Emperor kill him in public when the Demon Clan established the Heavenly Court.

It now seems that, with the strength of the Bull Demon King, he simply could not defeat Nezha in a one-on-one fight.

If the Heavenly Court had been established then, and the demon kings had besieged it, even if they could have defeated Nezha, the demons' first battle in the Heavenly Court would not have been very glorious.

It will also have a significant impact on the gathering of the demon race's fortune and the plundering of the orthodox Heavenly Court's fortune.

Now, I've changed my plans. I'll just let those powerful demons take action and kill Nezha ahead of time.

If Nezha's severed head is displayed when the Heavenly Court is established, the effect will be quite spectacular.

After defeating Nezha, the demon race successfully established the Heavenly Court and recruited the monkey into their court.

Then, let the Jade Emperor use the pretext of suppressing the demon race in the Heavenly Court to suppress the monkey, and then subdue him. Next, we can follow the script and have the monkey visit the Peach Garden, cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and so on.

As for the orthodox Heavenly Court, Haotian Golden Palace, now that it has completely broken ties with its nephew, who can replace Yang Jian in suppressing the monkey for the first time?
The Buddha knew better than anyone that the old man Haotian Jinque was hiding a great deal of power.

Putting aside everything else, Taibai Jinxing, who has always presented himself as a kind and gentle person to everyone, is one of Haotian's subordinates.

With a kind face and white hair, he always had a smiling, peace-making demeanor.

Actually?

Venus, whose full name is the Western Golden Virtue Tai Bai Tian Hao Xing Jun, is one of the Five Star Lords in Taoism.

He controls the warfare and battles of the world.

The last person to control warfare was Chi You, which alone shows his prestige.

His ruling star represents the metal element of the west. It should be a symbol of violence and ruthlessness, but it gives people a kind feeling.

One can only imagine the incredible level of control he had over his power.
Even if the monkeys cause chaos, Haotian has plenty of subordinates to suppress them the first time.

Of course, these are all digressions.

The Buddha glanced at Guanyin and said, "Journey to the West, Nezha, everything is entrusted to you. I hope that the scene of losing control last time will not happen again."

"When Wuyun Xian established his sect, True Man Yuding did not make a move."

When we deal with Nezha, I presume that Wuyunxian, Dizang, Jinchanzi, and others will not intervene.

Even without their intervention, the killing of Nezha and the monkey's rampage in Heaven were all under control.

Guanzizai has a sense of being all-encompassing and having everything under control.

But by the time they left Mount Ling, Guanyin's confident and composed expression had vanished.

Her brows furrowed slightly: "Since we need to deal with Nezha before establishing the Heavenly Court, we can no longer use the previous scheme of using General Zhenwu's original position to lure him out."

Now we need to figure out how to lure Nezha out of Heaven before establishing the Heavenly Court.”

Just then, Huian Xingzhe, also known as Muzha, suddenly spoke up: "Besides Yang Jian, the only one who can entice my brother's heart is our mother."

However, when his mother died, the Investiture of the Gods had not yet been established.

This is why my mother died but was not included in the Investiture of the Gods.

We can use my mother, Yin Shiniang, as a scheme, and the spirit pearl will surely descend immediately.

The rest can be dealt with by the demon race.

It has to be said that the most ruthless people are those taught by Buddhism.

The mother of this Lingzhu is none other than the mother of Muzha. To scheme against someone using one's own dead mother is truly a testament to the inhumanity of Buddhism.

Upon hearing Muzha's ruthless plan, Guanyin didn't sense anything amiss; instead, she praised Muzha for his quick wit. This reveals some of the true nature of Buddhism.

Guanzizai made another trip to the Heavenly Court, and then went to the Demon Clan.

Having finalized his grand plan and seeing that everything went very smoothly this time, Guan Zizai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The monkey's calculations are done."

What about the rest of the pilgrimage group?

Something has happened to Jin Chanzi, and I am temporarily unable to make arrangements. But this matter can be entrusted to Buddha.

What about the second disciple?
Now, we can make the arrangements.

The selection of this five-person Journey to the West group was not so simple.

The five poisons of human nature are greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt.

The chosen group of five on their pilgrimage must also correspond to the five vices of human nature.

Their journey to the West was not only a process of subduing demons and monsters, but also a journey of purifying their hearts.

The Golden Cicada, whom the Buddhist sect had previously arranged, possessed a spirit of questioning, even questioning the Buddha's teachings.

This corresponds to doubt.

Monkeys are fond of fighting, easily lose their temper, and are prone to anger and impatience.

It symbolizes anger.

The second disciple corresponds to greed.

"Although Bian Zhuang has been chosen as a candidate, he is an upright person."

How can we associate him with greed?

For a moment, Guanyin was also at a loss.

"It doesn't mean he's greedy now. We can find a pretext to send him down to the mortal realm, and then, during the process of sending him down, we can deliberately manipulate things to turn him into a pig."

Gluttony and laziness are innate instincts and natures of pigs.

There's absolutely no problem in saying he represents greed.

Besides, even if he really wasn't greedy, does that mean he can't spread rumors?
Of course, spreading rumors seems to be completely useless against powerful cultivators in the world.

In fact, those who can deduce that this is a rumor are all experts, and it doesn't matter to them even if they know it.

After all, your Journey to the West is actually just a way to deceive the masses into believing in you.

As long as we can fool the masses, that's enough.

You could even portray Marshal Tianpeng as a lecherous man, saying he harassed palace maids in Heaven, was banished to the mortal realm, and reincarnated as a pig.

Therefore, his greed included not only gluttony and laziness, but also lust.

Haotian Jinque made a suggestion.

Upon hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded in agreement.

But how do you portray lust as something to be desired?

We certainly can't just deceive them; we need to devise a plan.

"Chang'e in the Heavenly Court is beautiful, so it should be easier to scheme with her."

Guanyin attended the Peach Banquet in Pantao Province more than once, so she naturally saw Chang'e's appearance in person, and Chang'e was definitely the most suitable candidate.

To be honest, when Guanyin mentioned Chang'e, Haotian Jinque felt a little reluctant.

However, upon further reflection, this was merely a casual slander, not an attempt to actually have a relationship between the two. After thinking it over, he agreed.

Where is Chang'e now, whom they plotted against?
She was clearly taken aback when she saw the zodiac token in front of her.

Chinese Zodiac?

What is the connection between Chang'e and the Chinese zodiac?
Isn't it said that Chang'e is a toad spirit?
She's not the Jade Rabbit, is she?

In fact, there are many stories about the Jade Rabbit in Chinese mythology.

One theory is that the Jade Rabbit is Chang'e.

Because Chang'e stole the elixir of immortality and ascended to heaven, she angered the Jade Emperor after arriving in the celestial realm and was punished by being made to pound medicine day and night as the Jade Rabbit.

Secondly, three old immortals from the Heavenly Palace descended to the mortal realm and found three animals: a fox, a monkey, and a rabbit. They arranged trials for them, and in the end, the rabbit stood out and was taken back to the Heavenly Realm by the immortals and sent to the Moon Palace to manage the pharmacy.

However, this claim is quite unreliable from various perspectives.

Thirdly, the Jade Rabbit is the daughter of a rabbit fairy in the Heavenly Palace, who sent her to the Moon Palace to keep the fairy Chang'e company.

Fourthly, Hou Yi was actually that rabbit. Because Chang'e ascended to heaven, Hou Yi was very lonely on earth, so he devised a plan to transform into a jade rabbit and go to the moon to keep his wife company. This version showcases humanity's "romanticism," allowing lovers to be united in marriage.

Fifth, King Wen's eldest son, Boyi Kao, was murdered. King Wen was forced to eat a pie made from his son's flesh. The poor Boyi Kao was chopped into filling and made into a pie, which his father then ate. The minced flesh then transformed into a jade rabbit.

At this moment, a zodiac token appeared in front of Chang'e, which clearly corresponded to the first explanation.

Chang'e obtained the Zodiac Token and naturally resonated with it, gaining the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Good guy!
From a dance leader, he rose to become a figure in the Heavenly Court, second only to those with great supernatural powers.

One can only imagine the joy in Chang'e's heart.
Although they shared powerful magical treasures, Chang'e always felt like she was just freeloading.

The monkey provided extraordinary combat experience, the celestial horse had the Celestial Meteor Fist, Xu Xian had the Taiyin Extinction Divine Ball, and the white horse's power was the foundation for everyone.

It seems that she is the only one who is of no use among all the zodiac animals.

This made Chang'e a little embarrassed.

Suddenly, her gaze fell upon the monkey.

Because of the Resonance Monkey's talent, Chang'e also had some understanding of the Spirit Stone Monkey.

"The Spiritual Stone Monkey is one of the Four Chaotic Monkeys."

The essence and blood of the Chaos Demon Ape created the Four Chaos Monkeys. If one could obtain the essence and blood of the Four Chaos Monkeys, perhaps a reversal could be achieved to form the true form of the Chaos Demon Ape.

I happen to know the whereabouts of one of the Four Mischievous Monkeys.

The Long-Armed Ape cultivated itself to attain enlightenment, possessing supernatural abilities such as "grasping the sun and moon, shrinking mountains, discerning good and bad fortune, and manipulating the universe."
He is none other than Yuan Hong from the Investiture of the Gods.

Back then, Yuan Hong and Yang Jian each used their supernatural powers, their transformations varied and their abilities mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. They exhausted their skills and were evenly matched. Later, Yuan Hong was trapped in Nuwa's treasure, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and was captured by Yang Jian and brought back to the Zhou camp. Relying on the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, he was not afraid of being beheaded by ordinary blades, but he died under the "Flying Knife of Immortal Slaying" given to Jiang Ziya by Lu Ya Dao Ren, and his head was cut off.

His body fell into the hands of Jiang Ziya.

And Jiang Ziya was none other than Xu Fu, whom the Heavenly Court had ordered to flee.

Is Jiang Ziya the same as Xu Fu?

When he heard the news, Little White Dragon was a little stunned.

It's easy to understand why devouring the four chaotic monkeys can lead to progress.

The Investiture of the Gods did not involve the West Sea, but the White Dragon knew that Jiang Ziya was the protagonist of the Investiture of the Gods.

He made great contributions to the Chan Sect, and although he was not made a celestial deity in the Heavenly Court.

However, it should be in the Kunlun Mountains where the Chan Sect is located.

Jiang Ziya and Xu Fu were completely unrelated.
How did he become Xu Fu and be wanted by the entire Heavenly Court, in a predicament where he had nowhere to go?

All of this is clearly illogical.

Seemingly noticing the confusion among the crowd, Chang'e's voice rang out again, beginning to explain everything.
