The Way of Rebirth

Although Zhen Yuanzi closed his eyes at this time, Zhen Yuanzi's mind was not taken back. He was still paying attention to Sun Wukong in front of him, but he saw the monkey sitting on the chair scratching his head and cheeks, looking quite impatient, with twinkling eyes.

There was a cunning light, but he seemed to be a little afraid of himself. Just looking at himself in such a tangled manner, Zhen Yuanzi recovered his mind and felt slightly amused. This monkey is actually very interesting. Although sometimes he is bold and arrogant, sometimes he is a little bit

Caution is indeed one of the four monkeys in the world, and this clever temperament is unique.

"If it goes as expected, you and Tang Sanzang will have another test." Zhen Yuanzi finally opened his eyes and looked at Sun Wukong and said with a smile, "This is God's test for you and Tang Sanzang, but it is also what you deserve."

Doom is inevitable. If you can't pass this test, something will happen to your journey to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures. Therefore, your last test is the most critical. Once you fail, the guy who tested you will replace you and escort Tang Sanzang on his journey to the west.

"Learn from the experience"

"So, I, the old Sun, will be chased away by that old monk again?" Sun Wukong looked a little bad when he heard this. After all, Sun Wukong was the master who caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace back then, and he was chased away by the mortal Tang Sanzang again and again.

, I still insist on escorting this mortal to go to the West to obtain the scriptures. How can Sun Wukong bear it with his conceited character? However, Sun Wukong also learned from Zhen Yuanzi that it seems that the last test is the most critical. It sounds like

That test was the most important one on the way to Sun Wukong's enlightenment. However, with Sun Wukong's state of mind, he really didn't understand why he would have so much trouble when he was escorting Tang Sanzang to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures. So he looked at Zhen Yuanzi who seemed to be leisurely in front of him.

Sun Wukong then asked, "Old Taoist, from what you can see, why does God always test me? If Master Guanyin hadn't invited me to escort this old monk, I would have been in Huashan.

If the mountains are free and happy, why are there so many useless people?"

"Your three tests are related to your past pursuit of Taoism." Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard and said with a smile, "If it's not as expected by Pindao, you monkey should have had three masters in your pursuit of Taoism. And you

The Taoist teachings of these three masters are not the same. Your first master should be a member of the Taoist sect, and you are considered a member of the Taoist sect through previous cultivation. Your second master is a Western sect. You are making a big fuss.

The Heavenly Palace has eliminated Taoist teachings and entered the Western religion, so you deserve to be suppressed by the Western Buddhist Sakyamuni Buddha at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, and you have to be introduced to Buddhism by Nanhai Avalokitesvara, who escaped from Taoism to Buddhism. As for your third

The three masters are now the Buddhist disciple Tang Sanzang."

Sun Wukong was shocked when he heard this, and then he thought that it was indeed the case. The first master was the one on Penglai Island. Although Sun Wukong didn't know the name of the first mentor, it was obvious that Penglai Island was in the east.

Taoist sect, so he can be regarded as a disciple of Taoist sect. As for the second master Bodhi Patriarch, although Sun Wukong does not know the relationship between the Western religions mentioned by Zhen Yuanzi and the current Western Buddhism, he has practiced in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain for seven years. This Bodhisattva

Although the ancestor's practice is similar to Taoism, it is also related to Western Buddhism, so Zhen Yuanzi's words are not wrong. As for the current master, it is indeed Tang Sanzang, a disciple of Western Buddhism, but Sun Wukong still didn't listen.

Understand how these three tests given to you by God are related to your three masters.

Seeing that Sun Wukong was still looking at him with confusion, Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said with a smile, "The first time you were expelled by Tang Sanzang was at Yingchou Stream in Snake Pan Mountain. Because you killed bandits, you are a member of my Taoist sect."

What you did was to see that traitors, regardless of whether they are human or demon, always do justice for heaven, so there was a difference of obsession between you and Tang Sanzang, so Tang Sanzang asked you to leave. This was your first test.

, because you were awakened by the Dragon King of the East China Sea, but the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea is protected by the Penglai Immortal Island, which means that you were actually enlightened by your first master, gave up your obsession with Taoism, and worshiped the Western religion, so Guanshiyin Master

Shipian also enlightened Tang Sanzang and gave him a tight-banding spell to discipline you. This is how you broke off your obsession with your first master. This time, what you killed was a spirit that turned into a human body, but it was hated by Tang Sanzang.

Killing murderous monsters is quite in line with the teachings of Western religions. It is the obsession of you and your second mentor. Now it depends on how you face it. As for the third test, it is to test your ambition.

With a kind heart and compassionate heart, if you can pass it, you can truly worship Buddhism, escort Tang Sanzang to the west, and realize the wonderful and good way of Buddhism. If you can't pass it, I'm afraid you will still practice as a demon and immortal, and you will not be able to achieve the supreme path. As for you,

Someone will take your place in your journey to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures”….

"So these three tests are used by God to test whether I truly seek Buddha, do good, and take the true scriptures to save the world?" Sun Wukong frowned when he heard this, then looked at Zhen Yuanzi and asked, "What if I am old?

Sun didn't survive the last test, but how could he come back and become a fairy?"

"The last test is God's test of your heart. Whether you are devoted to Buddha or to demons, it all depends on your thoughts. If you can pass it, you have attained Buddhism. If you cannot pass it, you may be in danger of your life. Although you

Your current strength is close to the quasi-sage level, but it is only a trivial matter for a quasi-sage master to kill you, so you'd better be careful, don't act arbitrarily, give up the idea of ​​doing good in your heart, and go back to Huaguo Mountain this time, you'd better calm down

"Practice" Zhen Yuanzi closed his eyes and stopped talking.

"Does this smart old man really dare to leave me here?" Sun Wukong looked at Zhen Yuanzi who was sitting in front of him with his eyes closed and couldn't help but shook his head and said, then he stood up and walked out of the main hall, turned around and bowed to Zhen Yuanzi.

After bowing his hands to express his gratitude, he kicked off his legs and flew straight into the sky on a somersault cloud. He stood still in the air and looked to the west for a few times. Then he frowned and let out a long sigh, then turned around and flew towards the East China Sea Huaguo Mountain.

Zhen Yuanzi, who had his eyes closed in Wuzhuang Temple below, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the sky. Then he stroked his beard and nodded slightly, stood up and walked out of Wuzhuang Temple, and ordered the two boys Qingfeng Mingyue who came over.

, auspicious clouds rose from the ground and flew into the air towards the East China Sea. However, Zhen Yuanzi's trip was not towards Huaguo Mountain but towards Penglai Fairy Island...

Here, after Tang Sanzang drove away Sun Wukong, he took his two disciples Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk and continued to the west. Because Sun Wukong was driven away, the task of exploring the road and begging for alms fell on Zhu Bajie. This idiot took it.

Wan Bo carried the nine-tooth nail rake and walked forward. Seeing this, Tang Sanzang got off his horse and found a huge stone to sit down on, waiting for Bajie to return.

Zhu Bajie was wandering around with his alms bowl, but he was dizzy and tired. He couldn't help but throw the nine-tooth rake on the ground, found a grass nest and lay down, muttering: "I saw that dead monkey in the past."

Begging for alms, you can come back with food in a short time. I thought this alms was nothing more than that. I just didn't expect that it was my turn today, and I just realized how hard it was. It was like this, but I didn't know how long it would take.

If I, the old pig, hadn't transformed into a vegetarian, I'm afraid Master would have to say more, alas, I really have to find time to find that dead monkey... Huh... Huh..." As he spoke, Zhu Bajie

Fell asleep in the grass nest.

Tang Sanzang was sitting on Stone Mountain waiting for Zhu Bajie for a long time but he never saw Bajie return. He couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he said to Monk Sha who was guarding him safely: "Why has Bajie not returned yet after he went to beg for alms? Could it be that this guy has met him?"

The monster was captured by mistake? Wu Jing, go find Bajie and be sure to bring him back intact."

"Master, I'm afraid there's something wrong with being alone in this deep mountain. Although the second senior brother is not as skillful as the first senior brother, he has also served as Marshal of the Sky. This strength is still there, and ordinary monsters can't do anything about it.

Second Senior Brother, I'm afraid that Second Senior Brother must be hiding somewhere and sleeping lazily. When the hour comes, Second Senior Brother will definitely return on his own initiative." Monk Sha heard this and said hurriedly, "So I still stay with Master to protect him.

Safety is the most important thing, and the second senior brother will definitely be fine."

"It's necessary. Master knows Bajie's temperament. Even if he is lazy, he may not have come back yet, so you'd better go find him earlier. Master is here waiting for your return. You can go and find him with confidence.

"Bajie," Tang Sanzang shook his head and said, then he closed his eyes and started to recite the Heart Sutra silently. Seeing that Tang Sanzang insisted on doing this, Monk Sha had no choice but to turn around and take the treasure staff and go to the place where Zhu Bajie went to seek alms...

Three hours later, Tang Sanzang sat on the boulder and was very hungry. He opened his eyes again and looked at the place where Bajie was praying for alms. Unfortunately, there were only a few leaves blowing in the wind.

When they fell down, they did not see the figures of Monk Sha and Zhu Bajie at all. After sighing, Tang Sanzang felt that just waiting like this was not enough, so he got up and walked in the direction where Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha were walking. He walked through the weeds and passed through the weeds.

There was still no trace of Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha in the pine forest. At this moment, a golden light flashed in front of Tang Sanzang's eyes. Tang Sanzang looked up and saw a golden pagoda shining not far away.

"But it was the destiny of the poor monk. I never thought that I would encounter a pagoda and a Buddhist temple here. I thought that since I left the territory of the Tang Dynasty, my disciples have made vows to sweep pagodas and burn incense at every temple. Now that I see this pagoda, how can I

Why don't you go and worship the Buddha and offer incense?" After saying that, he saw Tang Sanzang tidying up his clothes, grasping the tin staff, and striding towards the pagoda.

Not long after, Tang Sanzang walked up to the pagoda. Looking at the golden pagoda in front of him, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but look solemn. Then he clasped his hands and bowed to the pagoda. Then he stretched out his right hand and pushed open the pagoda door and walked in. Unfortunately, he was met face to face.

What came was not the splendid statues of Buddhas standing side by side as Tang Sanzang had imagined. Instead, there was an invisible and dark cave in front of him. Tang Sanzang felt his whole body trembling, but there was a huge stone seat in front of him, and there was a monster on the seat holding his head with his right hand.

, fell into a deep sleep.

Looking carefully at the monster's appearance, it has an indigo face, with white fangs protruding from the corners of its mouth. It has messy sideburns on both sides, purple mustaches floating at the corners of its mouth, its nose is slightly arched like an eagle, and its big eyes are shining with golden light, and there are

The remaining blue line, the fist supporting the head, is as thick as a monk's alms bowl. The body is draped in a light yellow robe, and the feet are wearing blue shoes, carrying a fierce look.

Tang Sanzang was frightened when he saw the monster. He turned around hurriedly and wanted to break open the door, but he didn't want the sound to disturb the sleeping monster. When he opened his eyes, he saw Tang Sanzang's back to him and reached out to quietly move the closed tower door. He snorted coldly.

He said, "Since you, the monk, have come to my cave, why don't you give me a chance to entertain guests? You should stay and let me entertain you." After saying this, the monster clapped its hands several times, and suddenly

Then I heard a group of demons dancing wildly and making a lot of noise.

Not long after, a group of little monsters tied up Tang Sanzang and locked her up in the backyard. The old monster frowned as he watched Tang Sanzang being taken away, and couldn't help but think in his heart: But he didn't want me to secretly come down from heaven to find a virgin, but he didn't want to occupy her here.

The king of the mountain unexpectedly met Tang Sanzang? I am a member of the Taoist sect. If the Western religion hadn't intervened in the battle between the gods and my sect in the past, how could it have resulted in the loss of all members of the sect. If I meet this guy today, I will definitely have a hard time.

After being tortured and thinking about this, the old demon wanted to tell the little demon to set up the hot pot and wash Tang Sanzang clean, cook it and eat it. However, when he thought about it, the old demon remembered several of Tang Sanzang's disciples, so he felt it was better to wait.

I'll make plans some time later.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what we should do with this monk? Should he roast it, rinse it and boil it directly, or steam it in a steamer and eat it?" Just when the old demon thought of Tang Sanzang's disciples, the little demon ran over.

He bowed his hands and asked. Seeing that the old demon seemed to have some scruples in his heart and refused to speak, the little demon said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the young one is new from Baihuling. The Tang Sanzang captured by your Majesty today is not an ordinary monk.

He is a good man who has cultivated good fruits for ten lifetimes. His vitality has not been released all this time, and he also ate the ginseng fruit in Wuzhuang Temple. It can be said that the current Tang Sanzang is as full of treasures as the ginseng fruit.

If you take one bite, you can live a long life.”

"Are you from Baihu Ridge?" The old demon looked at the little demon below and asked with a smile, "So you are a subordinate of the White Bone Lady of Baihu Ridge, but you somehow ended up in my king's territory?

Could it be that your Madam White Bones had already been killed by several disciples of Tang Sanzang because of her involvement in Tang Sanzang, so you came here because you couldn’t survive?”….

"The king actually knows about these three disciples of Tang Sanzang?" Xiaoyao's expression changed when he heard this, and then he said with a smile, "The younger one was originally a subordinate of Madam White Bones, but Madam White Bones was killed by that person when she plotted against Tang Sanzang.

Sun Wukong, the eldest disciple of Tang Sanzang, saw through it. Although he had escaped twice before, he still failed to dodge Sun Wukong's iron rod the third time and was beaten to death by Sun Wukong. However, Lady Bones did not return without success. According to me,

It is known that Tang Sanzang seems to have had a misunderstanding with his eldest disciple Sun Wukong, and Sun Wukong has been driven back to Huaguo Mountain by Tang Sanzang, so the only threats to the king now are Monk Sha and Zhu Bajie. This Zhu Bajie

He is a person who is greedy for small profits and is definitely no match for the king. Although this monk Sha is low in strength, he has a dull temper. If the nurse is eager, he will probably explode with all his strength. Therefore, the king only needs to find a way to deal with this monk.

Can"

"It's not that simple." The old demon sneered when he heard this, "Although Sun Wukong was driven back to Huaguo Mountain by Tang Sanzang, once Tang Sanzang's life is in danger, Sun Wukong will definitely not leave it alone, and if this great king now

After eating Tang Sanzang, I am afraid that they will be sniped and killed by the three brothers of Sun Wukong. At that time, even their lives will be hard to save, and there is no talk of immortality. Therefore, Tang Sanzang's three disciples must be dealt with first.

Only then can we enjoy Tang Sanzang without any worries and seek immortality."

"But Sun Wukong's strength is not something to brag about. This guy was the master of the Heavenly Palace in the past. Even my White Bone Lady couldn't hold on for a reunion. It's not that he is timid and afraid of death, but this Sun Wukong is too powerful after all. Your Majesty

Even if you have great abilities, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the joint efforts of these three brothers." The little demon's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly said.

"Huh, Sun Wukong is just making trouble in the Heavenly Palace for a hidden reason. If he meets me now, I'm afraid it's not as simple as he thought. At that time, the king didn't use all his strength at all. If I fight with him with all my strength, just

I'm afraid it's not as simple as him sweeping across all directions." The old demon snorted coldly when he heard this, and then looked outside, "Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha are not incompetent people. They found here so quickly. Please tell the little demon general Tang

Sanzang is sent to the backyard and handed over to the king's wife to take care of. Now, the king will go and meet the former canopy marshal and rolling curtain general."

Hearing this, the little demon stood up and walked back. The old demon squinted his eyes and watched the little demon go away, flashing a golden light. Then he stood up, took a machete from the weapon rack next to him with his right hand, and carried it.

On his shoulders, he strode out of the cave. When he came to the cave, he saw Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha quarreling with each other. Seeing the appearance of the two former colleagues, the old demon couldn't help but feel a little funny. He stepped forward and pointed his sword horizontally at the two Buddhist disciples.

.

"You monster, why don't you release my old pig's master quickly and put some wine and food to entertain him properly? Maybe I, old pig, am in a good mood after being entertained by you, so I won't go on a killing spree today and let you live. Otherwise, don't blame me.

The nine-tooth nail rake in my old pig’s hand is not a show of mercy.” When Zhu Bajie saw the old demon coming out, he immediately waved the nine-tooth nail rake and shouted at the old demon.

"You monster, please release my master quickly, otherwise I, Sha Wujing, will definitely go on a killing spree in this mountain. If you release my master, we will not interfere with each other and go our separate ways." Monk Sha saw the old demon

He also roared fiercely and waved the treasure staff in his hand, looking murderous.

"Hmph, you two losers dare to make noise in front of my cave. It seems that I don't want you to know how powerful I am. I really seem to be a coward." The old demon couldn't help but get angry after hearing this.

He returned with his machete and kicked his legs towards Monk Sha and Zhu Bajie to kill them.
