…
The moment the two monkeys were escorted into the prison, two new pages appeared in the punishment book.
The former was expected by Li Anran, but the latter surprised Li Anran!
Ventilation Monkey King? !
This fake monkey is actually the Macaque King? !
Li Anran's pupils shrank suddenly, and he almost couldn't control his emotions.
At the beginning, the Macaque King transformed into Nezha under the command of the Jiao Demon King, and wanted to rescue the Changhe Dragon King who rebelled with the Jiao Demon King, but was discovered by Li Anran and trapped in the trap formation of the Tianlao.
Later, Empress Qiongxiao, who was invited by Wude Xingjun, used the Hunyuan Golden Dou to disperse her cultivation and was imprisoned in the heavenly prison.
Until one hundred and forty-three years ago, Lingshan petitioned the Jade Emperor on the grounds that the Macaque King had a predestined relationship with Buddhism, and brought the Macaque King back to Lingshan for enlightenment.
(Chapter 60, the origin of the Macaque King, is closely related to Buddhism; Chapter 111, the Macaque King was carried away by the Spirit Mountain.)
Unexpectedly, more than a hundred years later, he would actually see the Macaque King again, and it would transform from an ordinary monkey that was transformed into a Taiyi Golden Immortal by Hunyuan Jindou, and he could fight with monkeys. Inseparable.
Li Anran immediately began to observe the life of the Macaque King.
——This is why he took the initiative to participate in this matter and brought both monkeys back to the prison!
As the scenes in the Punishment Book flowed, Li Anran quickly understood what happened after the Macaque King was brought back to Lingshan.
On that day, Venerable Kasyapa took the Jade Emperor's decree and took away the Macaque King from Tianlao, brought it back to Lingshan, and handed it over to the Tathagata for restoration.
The Tathagata first enlightened the Macaque King with great magic power, restoring his spirituality and memory that he had lost because he became a mortal monkey.
He also used the Eight Merit Waters in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool to enhance the Macaque King's heeling qualifications, transforming the Macaque King from possessing a trace of six-eared macaque blood into a real four-monkey six-eared macaque!
Then, he taught the macaque king the same great immortal skills as the monkey, the eight-nine mysterious skills, the somersault cloud, and a Xixin iron soldier that was very similar to the golden cudgel!
The Macaque King was able to cultivate all the way from a pet raised by a mortal king to a golden immortal, and became a famous Ventilation Sage in the three realms. The first thing he relied on was chance, and the second thing was his understanding!
Nowadays, both of his hardware and foot qualifications have been greatly improved. He can practice the high-grade Tianxian Jue, Eight-nine Mysterious Techniques, and Somersault Clouds without any problems!
The Macaque King has known the monkey for many years, and he soon realized that the kung fu powers he practiced were very similar to the monkey's, or even exactly the same!
However, he didn't dare to ask any more questions and just practiced hard.
In just a short period of time, the Macaque King's cultivation not only recovered as before, but even broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!
One of the reasons for this is that he was re-cultivated.
But more importantly, Lingshan provided a large number of elixirs and spiritual fruits, including a lotus seed from the Golden Lotus of Merit.
And, the Tathagata personally taught, preached and solved doubts.
The Macaque King was originally a Buddhist believer who was determined to achieve enlightenment. After this incident, he became even more grateful and worshiped Lingshan Tathagata.
On the day when his cultivation level reached the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, the Macaque King mustered up the courage and proposed to worship Tathagata as his teacher.
However, Tathagata rejected it without hesitation.
He settled for the next best thing and proposed that he would convert to Buddhism and start as a novice.
However, he was still rejected by Tathagata.
The reason is only four words - "The time has not come yet."
The Macaque King did not dare to collide with Tathagata, so he could only suppress his anxiety and stay in the back of Lingshan Mountain to practice hard.
Until one day, he heard that "Tathagata created scriptures and preached bliss, and Guanyin went to Chang'an on orders." He also learned that among the people chosen by Guanyin to learn the scriptures, there was his sworn brother, the Monkey King, the Monkey King, who was suppressed at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain. !
The six-eared macaque is good at listening to sounds, can understand things, know the front and back, and everything is clear!
On that day, the Macaque King began chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name for three months. However, the jealousy, resentment, anger, and unwillingness in his heart did not diminish at all, but became stronger!
He wanted to go to Five Elements Mountain immediately and cut that damn monkey into pieces, but when he reached the foot of Lingshan Mountain, he hated to turn back.
"This is the decree of my Buddha, I cannot disobey it!"
He was extremely regretful that he had not made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and was not suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain.
"It takes five hundred years to get another chance to achieve righteousness. This evil person is so lucky!"
He began to work hard to practice the art of change, and used his natural supernatural powers to observe the monkey's every move.
"As long as I can achieve positive results, I am willing to do so no matter what!"
"Master, I asked for some vegetarian food, please try it quickly."
"Idiot, get up for my grandson! Hurry up and get on your way!"
"Junior Brother Sha, where is the master?"
"Monster, take a stick from me!"
…
One year, two years, three years...
The Macaque King listened to the monkey's journey to the west and imitated the monkey over and over again, from his expressions and demeanor to his words and deeds, and even his mental activities and ways of thinking.
He was extremely unwilling and full of expectations, praying that the monkey would make more mistakes and cause more trouble so that that day would come sooner.
Finally, the day came.
Venerable Kasyapa led the World Honored One's great disciple Ayinava to find him and asked him to follow Ayinava to the Asura Realm and obey Ayinava's instructions in everything.
Then, he was thrown into a magic weapon that looked like a millstone by Ayinavar.
When he came out again, he turned into Sun Wukong!
Even he himself can't tell the difference between true and false!
"Ayinavar, the Asura Realm, and this mechanism technique that is hard to distinguish between true and false! This is the rhythm of the sequel to Journey to the West!"
Li Anran's eyes narrowed.
There are thousands of myths and legends about past lives, and there are also many conflicts and contradictions.
After so many years and experiencing so many things, Li Anran knows better that the memories of his previous life can be used as a reference, but if he takes them all seriously, he is looking for death!
When he saw the dark abyss surrounded by weak water and the snake egg left by the snake demon in Zhu Bajie's life, he thought of Wutian and Heipao, but he was not sure. (Chapter 116)
At this time, seeing the appearance of Ayinaval and the mechanism technique confirmed this.
"Is it another man-made catastrophe like the one in the West?"
Although Wutian has the World-Destroying Black Lotus in hand, he cannot suppress the entire Three Realms by himself!
The most likely possibility is that the catastrophe that swept through the three realms for thirty-three years was the same as the Buddhist scriptures in the West. It was a joint plan between gods and Buddhas in the three realms, giving Tathagata and Wutian a chance to decide the ownership of the Buddhist realm through a gambling battle!
This also explains why Lingshan and Tianting, especially Tathagata, barely resisted after seeing Wutian and directly chose to be reincarnated.
After Wutian captured the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, he didn't kill any of them, he just locked them in the Netherworld.
Thirty-three years later, Tathagata successfully entrusted his life through the reincarnation of a soul boy. After winning the gambling battle, Wutian chose to admit defeat and pass away without much resistance.
If we work backwards from this point, the gods and Buddhas of the three realms should be very successful in joining forces to deal with the catastrophe and eliminate karma.
It was so successful that they were willing to put aside part of their dignity to cooperate with Lingshan in completing this gambling battle.
"This Macaque King is really miserable!" Li Anran sighed in his heart.
In Journey to the West, Tathagata uses him as a substitute for the monkey, or even just a tool to stimulate the monkey.
At the last moment, Tathagata chose the monkey and used the golden bowl to beat the monkey king back to his original form, allowing the monkey to beat him to death with a stick.
This is why in the sequel to Journey to the West, a remnant soul of a six-eared macaque drifted into the abyss of darkness, was resurrected by Wutian using the World-Destroying Black Lotus, and became the envoy of Wutian Black Lotus.
From this point of view, Wutian is most likely because Tathagata gave up the six-eared macaque and chose the monkey, and deliberately chose the six-eared macaque to let him fight the monkey again, which proves that Tathagata has poor vision and the six-eared macaque is no better than the monkey Difference.
As a result, the Macaque King failed again, and even more so!
Wu Tian admired Monkey even more than before, and showed up many times to recruit him personally. Even if Monkey insisted on being his enemy, he was full of regrets and sympathy.
As for the Macaque King, he would rather take the trouble to resurrect the black robe who died tragically in the Mongolian Realm than save him.
In addition to the past, the Macaque King was born as an ordinary monkey who was kept as a pet. He went through a lot of hardships to cultivate to the realm of Golden Immortal and was able to pass on the righteous Dharma. This was also because Tathagata wanted to use him as a substitute for the monkey.
The monkey was born as a spiritual stone monkey, and he easily became the Monkey King. When he wanted to practice, he became a disciple of Ancestor Bodhi, and learned the most advanced skills and spells in the world.
It can be said that the Macaque King has been crushed by monkeys from head to toe, from birth to the future.
"Prisoner God, I am still in a hurry to escort my master to the West to obtain scriptures. How long will it take you to distinguish the true from the false?"
The Macaque King is a six-eared macaque who can sense things before and after.
Even though Li Anran didn't reveal anything unusual, he still instinctively felt a little uneasy and regretted following him in.
Before Li Anran could say anything, the monkey was already angry and cursed: "What a shameless beast! You injured the master, took away the customs clearance document, and dared to escort him to the West to obtain scriptures!"
The more the monkey talked, the angrier he became. Regardless of the demon-binding rope tied to his body, he started to fight with the six-eared macaque.
The Macaque King's eyes lit up, and he was about to take the opportunity to make things worse and break out of the prison, when he saw Li Anran dragging the monkey back and grabbing him with another hand.
"Brother Li, let me go! I have to give this monster a hard time!" the monkey yelled unwillingly.
The Macaque King sneered: "Monster, don't pretend to be wronged. It's obviously you who injured the master, but you still frame it on me? If you dare to do it but don't take it seriously, you are just a useless wimp!"
The monkey was so angry that he jumped up and tried to fight the six-eared macaque: "I'll beat you to death, you monster!"
The Macaque King said: "Monster, you want to kill your grandpa? Come on, let's see if it's your head or your grandpa's fist that's stronger!"
The Macaque King yelled and tried hard to break free from Li Anran's hand.
But he found that Li Anran's hand seemed to have infinite power, holding him tightly, and no matter how hard he struggled, it did not loosen at all.
What surprised him even more was that the Sun Wukong on the opposite side was similar to him. He jumped a few times but was held down by Li Anran.
The monkey soon noticed this, struggled hard for a few times, and finally calmed down, with a look of surprise on his face: "Brother Li, you are so strong!"
Li Anran himself was not surprised.
The Eight-Nine Xuan Gong focuses on skill but not gravity, and the Nine-turn Yuan Gong focuses on gravity but not skill.
In terms of strength, the Eight-Nine Mysterious Gong is not as good as the Nine-turn Yuan Gong.
In addition, he also practiced the "Shangqing Fu Qi Jue", a technique specially used to improve the body and heels, and received additional rewards from the Book of Punishment.
In terms of strength alone, two monkeys put together are not as good as him!
It was completely impossible for the Macaque King to break free from his grasp without completely falling out.
Li Anran said: "Both of you, please calm down. I will definitely give you an answer within three days at most."
"Okay! Thanks a lot, Brother Li!" The monkey smiled happily.
Although the Macaque King was also grateful, he was obviously a little reluctant, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
Li Anran saw it and suddenly felt that the monkey was quite pitiful.
Monkey obviously still has feelings for Tang Monk, and has no objection to seeking Buddhist scriptures from the West.
However, Lingshan was suspicious and distrustful of him from beginning to end, and had prepared the six-eared macaque as a substitute early on.
"It's probably because of this that Tathagata chose the monkey in the end!"
Li Anran was thoughtful and continued to check the life of the Macaque King.
After being cloned into a monkey by Ayinavar using mechanism techniques, the Macaque King temporarily lived in the Asura world.
After more than half a month, Ayinavar found him, gave him a black robe that could cover his breath and isolate him from the observation of spiritual consciousness and magic, and took him back to Lingshan.
Then, he saw Tathagata and Guanyin beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.
The Macaque King knew that the time had come, but his mood was very complicated, so complicated that he even forgot to salute the most respected Buddha in front of him.
He didn't come back to his senses until Ayinavar took off the black robe on his body.
He knew that from now on, he was Sun Wukong!
Realizing this, the Macaque King suddenly felt a strong resentment in his heart.
He didn't dare to resent Tathagata. He only resented Guanyin for why he didn't just let him be the one to learn the scriptures, but insisted on choosing Sun Wukong?
The World Honored One seemed to see through his heart at a glance, and asked him to attack Guanyin, and when he couldn't control his anger, he froze him in mid-air.
After that, the Macaque King followed Guanyin back to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea. Guanyin placed him in a quiet room and sealed the surrounding area with a formation.
He said he couldn't let others see the Macaque King, but in fact he was afraid of the innate magical powers of the six-eared macaque clan and was afraid that his secret would be exposed.
The Macaque King didn't care, or he didn't have time to care.
He realized that he was about to replace Sun Wukong, so he began to practice Sun Wukong's words and deeds day and night, and deduce Sun Wukong's possible reactions when encountering various situations.
Just a few months later, the door to the quiet room suddenly opened.
Then, he heard the voice he had heard countless times over the years.
Sun Wukong was actually also in Luojia Mountain, and he was still complaining to Guanyin. The content was that he killed a group of bandits, angered Tang Seng, and was driven away again by Tang Seng.
Knowing that his opportunity had come, the Macaque King immediately left Luojia Mountain and found Tang Monk, preparing to replace Sun Wukong.
but……
"I've already admitted my mistake to you, why don't you let me come back?"
"That Sun Wukong did this, why should I suffer this anger on his behalf?"
"Since I can be fake, then others can also be fake! Why should I be angry with this old monk?"
The above are the psychological activities that Li Anran made up based on the mood swings, expressions and behavior of the Macaque King.
In reality, it was the Macaque King who asked for kind words several times. After being rejected by Tang Monk, he cursed, "You cruel bald man, you are so despicable to me!"
The Macaque King is not resentful that he is a substitute for the monkey, and he has so many years of grudges and grudges in his heart, and he is not as vicious and wild as the monkey who has been tempered for five hundred years.
Impulsively, he picked up a stick and knocked Tang Seng unconscious. He returned to Huaguo Mountain with the package of documents and asked the monkeys and grandchildren to transform into Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, preparing to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
He didn't know that no one in the four-person group for Buddhist scriptures from the West could be without, except Tang Monk, who was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi and was absolutely indispensable!
This is also the Macaque King's bad luck!
The natal magical power of the six-eared macaque clan is to listen to all movements in the three realms, but it does not mean that they can hear all movements in the three realms anytime and anywhere!
Many times, in order to practice meditation or avoid getting into trouble, they will even take the initiative to close their overly sensitive ears.
The Macaque King learned about the Buddhist scriptures in the West after Guanyin came back from the Tang Dynasty in the East, and began to eavesdrop on the monkeys.
However, Tang Monk Jin Chanzi's identity was only revealed by the clear breeze and bright moon at the Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain. With the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth there, he could not hear the movement inside at all.
The Monkey King only thought that Tang Seng was the person chosen by Guanyin to learn scriptures, just like Sun Wukong Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng. He did not know what was special about Tang Seng.
That's why he would do such a stupid thing.
"Respectful on the outside but arrogant on the inside, distant in affection but respectful in appearance, smart but not very capable, no wonder both Tathagata and Wutian look down on this six-eared macaque!" Li Anran felt convinced.
Guanyin and Tathagata gave the Macaque King a chance to compete for the position, but the Macaque King felt that he had already taken the position!
And he regarded himself, the most powerful monkey, as the core of Xitian Buddhist scriptures, not Tang Monk!
If there is a problem with this understanding, there will naturally be a problem with the attitude towards doing things!
After that, what happens is the same as in the original time and space.
Sha Monk went to Huaguo Mountain, saw three impostors, and fought with the Macaque King.
After being defeated, he went to Luojia Mountain to complain, but he ran into a real monkey.
Then there was a confrontation to no avail. The monkey and the macaque king fought all the way to the sky to find Li Anran to distinguish the true from the false.
In the end, they were deceived into the prison together by Li Anran.
