While Li Anran was inspecting the life of the Macaque King, they were already in the prison.
The monkey couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Li, what should we do next?"
The Macaque King also urged him a few words, and the worry and anxiety in his eyes could hardly be concealed.
The external manifestation of this is that his reactions are obviously not as fast as before, and his acting is not as natural as at the beginning.
In the past, the Macaque King could always tell what the monkey wanted to say and how it would react the moment the monkey spoke, or even before the monkey spoke, making it difficult to tell the truth from the false.
But now, the Macaque King is focusing more on guarding against Li Anran, so he is naturally a little slower in speaking and doing things.
This flaw is already very obvious to the attentive person!
"This matter cannot be rushed."
Li Anran did not point it out, but said: "The monster's transformation technique can be hidden even by Guanyin Bodhisattva. If I want to distinguish the true from the false, it will take some time. You guys stay in this prison for two days first. , I will go and make some preparations, and everything will be clear in three days."
With the punishment book, he could tell which of the two monkeys was real and which was fake at any time. He pushed the matter back three days in order to find some reasonable "evidence".
"Okay! Then wait three days!"
The monkey didn't say anything more. He took the initiative to walk into the cell and sat down. He stared at the macaque king with a pair of eyes and sneered: "Monkey, enjoy your last three days! Wait until Brother Li pulls out your fox tail." , let’s see how I, Old Sun, deal with you!”
"Hmph! You faker still dares to hold on until now. You really can't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
Seeing Li Anran's vows, the Macaque King was not as tough as before. He snorted coldly and hesitated in his steps.
He was hesitating whether to kill him directly or bet that Li Anran couldn't see through Ayinavar's mechanism.
Finally, the macaque king gritted his teeth and walked into the cell next to the monkey.
Guanyin Bodhisattva can't tell that I'm fake, but I don't believe that you, a mere prison god, can tell that!
It's just a bluff!
Li Anran took out two beads from his arms, handed them to the two of them, and said, "These two beads were refined by me myself. They contain a ray of my divine will, which cannot be imitated by any transformation technique. Please take them." Sorry, lest the counterfeit use his incarnation to confuse the public after I distinguish the true from the false."
"That's a good idea!" The monkey nodded repeatedly, took the bead, and held it tightly in his hand.
The Macaque King's expression froze. He felt that the bead in front of him was extremely hot, but he had to take it. He even began to regret why he didn't just run away.
Now, once he was given these two beads, he had no way out.
"Then I'll go get ready first." Li Anran locked the cell door, turned around and left the prison.
Not far away, the monkey's triumphant voice came from behind: "Monster, you are dead now! As long as Brother Li recognizes that you are a fake, you can stop pretending to be my grandson!"
"You're the one who should be panicking, right? Monster!"
The Macaque King was already upset, but the play had to go on.
Soon, the two monkeys got into a quarrel again, and all kinds of harsh words and curses were heard.
"Sir." When Li Anran left the prison, a priest came up to him and said, "Wude Xingjun is waiting for you in Tianlao Palace."
After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, do you know which of these two Sun Wukongs is real? Which one is fake?"
As soon as he said these words, the surrounding heavenly soldiers and generals all pricked up their ears.
Li Anran shook his head and said: "No. These two Sun Wukongs are exactly the same from their dress to their behavior to their magic and martial arts. I can't tell whether they are true or false."
"Ah?!" The priest opened his mouth wide and asked the doubts in the hearts of the surrounding heavenly soldiers and generals: "Then how can you tell the truth from the false after three days?"
Li Anran said: "If you can't see it now, it doesn't mean you can't see it in three days. This monster will reveal its flaws on its own."
In the prison, the macaque king, who was having a heated argument with the monkeys, relaxed and his voice became a little louder.
But he didn't know that Li Anran had known about his heel for a long time, and those words just now were all told to him intentionally by Li Anran!
Moreover, his life is constantly being updated in the Book of Punishment, and every move and change in his demeanor is under Li Anran's eyes!
In the Tianlao Palace.
Wude Xingjun was waiting anxiously. When he saw Li Anran appear, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Prisoner God, how are the two Sun Wukongs doing?"
Li Anran said: "I have put them all in the cell."
"That's good."
Lord Wude Xing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and first raised his hands apologetically: "Prison God, I have just reported this matter to Your Majesty, please send an order to invite Li Jing, the King of Pagoda, to come over."
Then he explained: "It's not that I don't believe you, the main reason is that these two monkeys are still vicious. It would be bad if they get into trouble again and alert His Majesty."
"King Li Tian has the demon mirror gifted by His Majesty. He will definitely be able to tell which of these two Sun Wukongs are real and which are fake. I also ask the Prisoner God not to blame them."
Li Anran waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. As long as we can distinguish the true from the false and resolve the matter."
Wude Xingjun praised: "The Prison God is really dedicated to serving the public, which is admirable. When I go back, I will report it to Your Majesty and ask for credit for the Prison God..."
Wude Xingjun is the best at watching people prepare food. When he saw Li Anran, he shocked the monkeys with just one sentence. He realized that Li Anran, the god of war in the heaven, was not a fake. He had the intention to make friends with Li Anran and threw out his good words as if they were free of money.
However, as he spoke, he noticed Li Anran's coldness and perfunctory attitude towards him.
Wude Xingjun's face darkened, and he cursed in his heart: "You are so shameless! Sooner or later you will regret it!" and stopped talking.
It’s finally quiet!
Li Anran had long been impatient with Wude Xingjun's unhelpful words, and it was only due to his own self-cultivation that he did not kick him out.
Seeing that Wu Dexingjun finally closed his mouth, he concentrated on observing the monkey's life.
The monkey's life is roughly the same as that in Journey to the West.
Only some details are slightly different from Li Anran's inherent impression.
For example, the fairy stone that gave birth to monkeys was not the five-color stone left by Nuwa to mend the sky, but an ancient fairy stone that received the innate power of creation.
Monkey, the luminous stone monkey, is an innate creature just like the ancient powers such as Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun.
It's just that the monkey's location is too bad. The ancient immortal stone was conceived until the Journey to the West era, and he was barely born!
That’s right, it’s just too bad!
Although Huaguo Mountain is the ancestral vein of the Ten Continents, the Dragon from the Three Islands has been established since the clear and turbid, and the Hongmeng has judged it.
But compared with places like Taiyinxing, Sunxing, and Kunlun, there is a gap of more than hundreds of millions of miles.
As a result, the monkey, an innate being, was not only born countless years later than normal innate beings, but also had no cultivation at all and no accompanying spiritual treasures after birth.
It can be said that it is the lowest version of the innate creature!
In addition, although Huaguo Mountain is an overseas fairy island, it is not isolated from the world, nor has it ever been visited by humans.
on the contrary.
Before the monkeys went out to sea to search for immortals, fishermen and hunters from the proud country often came here. Occasionally, some birds and beasts who were born with wisdom in the mortal world crossed the sea and came to Huaguo Mountain by chance. .
This is also the reason why the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain know things like the Kirin, the Phoenix, the human king, the law, the law of Yama, and the sacredness of Yama.
Li Anran specifically observed the Tongbei ape who told the monkey that there are "Buddha, Immortal, and Holy Three in the world, who escape reincarnation, are immortal, and live as long as the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers."
It turned out that it was a monkey with the blood of a monkey and some intelligence. It was not even a monster, and it had no consciousness of being taken away from its body.
It learned something about the sacred skins of immortals and Buddhas from the mouths of foreign birds, and told the monkeys when the monkeys asked questions.
When the monkey crossed the East China Sea, there was no Dragon King of the East China Sea to secretly escort him.
He was able to cross the East China Sea on a simple raft only because of his deep luck, which enabled him to turn danger into good fortune and make all his wishes come true.
There is no conspiracy theory in it!
After that, the monkey began to wander in the mortal world, first in Nanzhanbuzhou for more than eight or nine years, and then across the West Sea to Xiniuhezhou.
During this period, I learned people’s language, etiquette, reading and literacy...
Until one day, the monkey met a woodcutter and found Xieyue Sanxing Cave in Fangcun Mountain, Lingtai.
Everything seems to be going smoothly, a little too much, like a fake, but it is actually real!
Monkeys are the only innate creatures born in the Journey to the West era, and their luck is far beyond imagination. It is only reasonable to find Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.
Afterwards, the monkey met Patriarch Bodhi, worshiped under the gate of the Three Stars Cave in the Setting Moon, and was given the name Sun Wukong.
Li Anran was very curious about this powerful man who was proficient in Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and stared at Patriarch Bodhi.
I could only see a cloud of rosy light rising up from the high platform, and an old Taoist with crane hair and childish face sitting cross-legged, compassionate and solemn, with an immortal air.
When looking at him, Li Anran could see his face clearly.
But when he looked away and tried to recall the appearance of Patriarch Bodhi, all that was left was a blur of glow.
Li Anran has encountered this situation before!
On the Supreme Saint of Bajing Palace!
On the leader of Tongtian Cult of Biyou Palace!
Obviously, the Bodhi Patriarch in front of him is also a saint!
"Ancestor Bodhi is really a Saint of Chunti!"
Li Anran was a little surprised, but not surprised.
There are countless powerful beings in the Three Realms, and it is almost impossible for there to be an existence that no one knows about!
Therefore, Patriarch Bodhi can only be the incarnation of some great power!
And after confirming that he is a saint, his identity becomes easier to guess!
The only person related to Lingshan and Tathagata is Saint Chunti, the leader of Mahayana Buddhism!
There is nothing to go into details about what happened after that.
Just like in Journey to the West.
After the monkey learned the magical power, he showed it off to his brothers and was then driven back to Huaguo Mountain by Patriarch Bodhi.
After that, he broke into the Dragon Palace, made trouble in the underworld, accepted the imperial edict, and then descended to the heaven. He was known as the Monkey King, the Seven Great Sages became sworn brothers, and made trouble in the heaven...
Until he was suppressed by the Tathagata and kept under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years, eating copper pills and drinking molten iron to kill his ferocious wildness.
Then Guanyin appeared and enlightened her, and she gained freedom at the cost of converting to Buddhism and escorting Monk Tang to the West to obtain scriptures.
After that, he went to the west to learn scriptures, subduing demons and demons all the way, until at this moment, he went to heaven with the fake monkey to distinguish the real from the fake.
Monkey rarely hides his emotions, and Li Anran has practiced Hehuan Kung Fu to the full level. He can clearly feel Monkey's emotional changes along the way.
From the initial shock and ecstasy when he learned that he could escape from trouble, to his gratitude after being rescued by Tang Seng, to his determination to slay demons and protect Tang Seng, to his current wavering, doubt and regret!
The three most critical things are.
First, he was deceived by Tang Monk into wearing a tight curse.
Second, three dozen white-bone spirits were driven away by Tang Monk.
The third is that Che Chiguo noticed the mystery behind Xitian's Buddhist scriptures and that Sha Monk Zhu Bajie knew the truth but did not tell him and deliberately planned to drag him into trouble.
In short, it is suspicion and betrayal!
The monkey felt suspected and betrayed, and then he was shaken and regretted!
I don’t want to be bound by the Buddhist precepts, and I don’t want to convert to Buddhism anymore.
However, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to explain it to Guanyin!
This time, after being driven away by Tang Monk for killing a bandit, Monkey did not choose to go back to Huaguo Mountain, but chose to go to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea!
It seems that he is complaining to Guanyin, but in fact he is trying to test Guanyin in a subtle way: "It's not that I don't want to convert to Buddhism or escort Tang Monk, but that my nature is at odds with Buddhism, and Tang Monk won't let me escort him."
Avalokitesvara was aware of this, so he wiped out the last chance left to the monkey, released the macaque king, and let the macaque king try to replace the monkey.
He dragged the monkey to Luojia Mountain.
Once the Macaque King proves that he is better than the monkey, Guanyin will take action to suppress the monkey and let the Macaque King take his place!
Unexpectedly, the Macaque King directly gave Tang Seng a stick and took away his luggage and customs clearance documents, hoping that his monkey grandson would replace Tang Seng and the others to go to the West to obtain scriptures.
When Guanyin learned about this from Sha Monk, she obviously lost control of her emotions.
The moment of disbelief and anger startled both the monkey and Sha Seng!
However, both of them thought that Guanyin was angry that someone dared to pretend to be a monkey and attack Tang Monk. They didn't know that Guanyin's anger was more about her hatred for the Macaque King!
"Of these two monkeys, one desperately wants to convert to Buddhism and achieve enlightenment, and the other cannot stand the Buddhist precepts and tries every means to escape, but he fails to do so! How interesting!"
Li Anran suddenly had a thought in his heart.
"How about I be a good person?"
Before Li Anran could think about it, he saw an auspicious cloud coming from outside. There were several generals standing on top of the cloud, and the leader was Li Jing.
After a polite greeting, Li Anran took Li Jing into the prison.
Just like the original time and space, the demon mirror is completely useless against Ayinavar's mechanism technique, and it is impossible to tell whether the monkey is real or fake.
On the contrary, the two monkeys, who had finally settled down, almost started fighting again.
Three days flew by.
Li Anran took out the two monkeys and said, "I didn't tell you before. In addition to confirming your identity, my beads also have a function. I can use it to observe your every move in the past three days." .”
The monkey doesn't care about these, he only cares about one thing: "Then you should know now that I am real, right?"
The Macaque King had already guessed this and had been cautious for the past three days.
He was very sure that he didn't show any flaws, and he said with full confidence at this time: "Brother Li, don't listen to that monster's nonsense! I am the real one!"
Li Anran nodded, pointed at the Macaque King and said, "You are real!"
Pointing to the monkey again: "You are fake!"
monkey:"???"
Macaque King: "!!! I knew you wouldn't admit your mistake, Brother Li!"
