"He made it wrong on purpose!"
Guanyin's eyes narrowed, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct.
Sun Wukong went to heaven many times to ask Li Anran to come down to earth for help, and he was even more diligent than when he came to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea.
Obviously, he and Li Anran have a deep friendship and are very familiar with each other.
In this case, even if Li Anran would be deceived by the Macaque King, he would never mistake the real Sun Wukong for a fake one!
Guanyin looked at the macaque king who was still complacent, and a fire of karma arose in his heart: "This idiot, can't you see that you have been fooled?"
Thinking of Sun Wukong again, he became even more angry: "This bastard is really capricious and dishonest! He promised me to convert to Buddhism and escort Jin Chanzi to the West to obtain scriptures, but now he has joined forces with Li Anran to plot against me. Really? Extremely abominable!”
Guanyin does not think that all this is Li Anran's own initiative. He is more inclined to think that the monkey, Li Anran and even Xuanmen secretly colluded together. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the real and fake monkey king, they joined forces to sing a double act.
The purpose is to take the monkeys out of the Western Heaven to collect scriptures and out of Buddhism!
Guanyin couldn't help complaining in her heart: "The World-Honored One should not have released this evil beast from the Five Elements Mountain in the first place, let alone allow him to be the Buddhist scripture collector."
Guanyin was opposed to Sun Wukong being a Buddhist monk from the very beginning.
She doesn't trust Sun Wukong!
Because Sun Wukong is really capricious and full of misdeeds!
At the beginning, he had rebelled by sworn sworn with the other six saints, and then accepted the imperial edict of Heaven alone, then turned around and rebelled against Heaven again.
Guanyin has always believed that if someone could offer better conditions than Lingshan, Sun Wukong would definitely betray Lingshan without hesitation!
Just like he left those six sworn brothers behind!
Regardless of whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, it can be seen from this incident that Sun Wukong is a willful and selfish person at his core!
The risk of letting such a person become a learner is too great!
However, Tathagata was adamant and insisted on letting Sun Wukong be the one to learn the scriptures, and Guanyin had no choice but to agree.
And what happened later proved that her worries were right!
This Sun Wukong was only scolded by Jin Chanzi for killing mortals indiscriminately, and then left Jin Chanzi alone.
Although he was later persuaded to come back by the Dragon King of the East China Sea, Guanyin distrusted him even more, so he used the help of Tang Monk to trick Sun Wukong into wearing a tight band.
In comparison, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng have a high degree of credibility with Guanyin.
The Tathagata gave a tight golden hoop. Guanyin only took out one tight hoop and put it on Sun Wukong. The other two were kept for private use.
The forbidden hoop was put on the head of the black bear spirit, who made her the guardian of the mountain. The golden hoop was put on the head of the red boy, who made her a good fortune boy.
Of course, in this world, Red Boy was imprisoned in a prison because of Li Anran.
Guanyin still has a useless golden hoop left in her hand.
However, her distrustful attitude towards monkeys has not changed!
On the contrary, because of the incident between Li Anran and Che Chiguo, he became even more dissatisfied and distrustful of Monkey.
At this time, when Guanyin heard that the matter was related to Li Anran and the monkey, Guanyin's first reaction was that the monkey had taken refuge in Xuanmen!
Especially when he heard the Macaque King say that Li Anran refused to let the Macaque King kill the real Sun Wukong on the grounds that the fake Wukong broke into the Heavenly Prison without causing much harm.
Guanyin is even more convinced that the whole thing is a good show performed by Li Anran and Monkey!
"That's enough!" Guanyin interrupted the Macaque King and said coldly: "You can follow me to Lingshan Mountain now."
"Uh..." The Macaque King was stunned, but he was very good at observing words and expressions. He noticed that Guanyin looked wrong and did not dare to ask more questions. He only corrected his attitude and said respectfully: "Disciple, I obey."
The two of them immediately took up the auspicious clouds and flew towards Lingshan Mountain.
In just a moment, we arrived outside the Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan.
The Tathagata was preaching to a group of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Mahavira Hall. When he noticed that Guanyin was coming with the Macaque King, he immediately stopped and asked the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to comprehend on their own.
He got up and went to the back hall, and asked Venerable Kasyapa to bring Guanyin and the monkey.
The ceremony is over.
Guanyin told all his guesses about Li Anran and the monkey, and said: "The disciple suspects that the prison god intends to make the lie come true, and wants to recruit Sun Wukong to the Xuanmen."
"This is impossible!"
The Macaque King was kneeling in front of the Tathagata Seat with his whole body prostrated. When he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and glared at Guanyin angrily. The respectful and pious expression on his face was gone, only angry: "Then Li Anran was clearly deceived by me! How could it be possible? He’s plotting against me!”
Guanyin didn't even look at him, she just stood by respectfully, waiting for Tathagata to speak, but there was a hint of sullenness in her eyes.
Even Sun Houhou, who acted lawlessly, still held the disciple's ceremony respectfully in front of her.
This macaque king dared to yell at her in front of the World Honored One, without any respect at all. It can only be said that there was a lack of practice, which made him a little ignorant.
The Tathagata only glanced at the Macaque King, and the Macaque King was so frightened that he realized that he had been disrespectful in front of the Buddha. He knelt down on the ground and said, "I was in a hurry and lost my etiquette. Please forgive me, World Honored One."
The Tathagata said: "The six roots are impure and the seven emotions are unrelenting. Even if you are lucky enough to get the right fruit, it will be difficult to have great freedom. You need to keep it in mind at all times."
Macaque King: "Disciple, please remember the teachings of the Lord."
The Tathagata nodded slightly and said to Guanyin: "Venerable Guanyin, you are right as you expected. The prison god did it deliberately, and the monkey must also know about it."
The Macaque King was shocked and a little unbelievable, but after Tathagata said this, he naturally would not doubt it, but he only made a note of Li Anran and the monkey in his heart.
But soon, he no longer cared about hating Li Anran and Monkey, but began to worry about his own fate.
When someone discovered that he was pretending to be Sun Wukong, and they plotted against him, then...
"Will the World Honored One let me replace Sun Wukong?" The Macaque King was trembling all over, his hands and feet were weakening.
The Tathagata saw all this and was a little disappointed, but he also knew that it would be difficult for the Macaque King to compare with innate creatures like Sun Wukong who had been nurtured for hundreds of millions of years.
Moreover, even though the Macaque King has all kinds of bad things, there is one thing that is very good——
Be devoted to the Buddha and remain steadfast!
This is something Sun Wukong cannot compare to!
Even more determined than many Arhat Bodhisattvas and Buddhas who have achieved enlightenment!
The Tathagata said: "Then Sun Wukong's heart is no longer in our Buddhist sect. His fate has ended and he cannot stay. Let him go." Pointing to the Macaque King, he said: "From today on, you are Sun Xingzhe, Jin Chanzi's great disciple. "
"Disciple, I obey." The Macaque King was overjoyed and kowtowed his head repeatedly.
Tathagata gently raised his hand and helped him up: "You have been away from Jin Chanzi for some time. Go back quickly and escort your master to the West to obtain scriptures."
"Wait a minute." Guanyin suddenly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Tathagata: "World Honored One, Sun Wukong still has something, but Sun Xingzhe doesn't have it yet."
Guanyin took out the last golden hoop from her arms, and threw it towards the Macaque King with a wave of wind.
"you!"
The Macaque King's expression changed. He wanted to hide but found that he couldn't move at all. He could only watch the golden hoop fall on his head.
"good."
The Tathagata settled the matter with just one word, and the Macaque King's anger and resentment turned into a somewhat stiff sentence: "Thank you Bodhisattva for the golden hoop."
Having said that, the Macaque King seemed to have left Lingshan and flew to Xiniu Hezhou, but he felt that he had lost all face and had no shame to stay.
The Tathagata said: "This monkey has not lost its ferocious nature and has not transformed into a wild nature. I need to trouble you, Your Majesty, to pay more attention to it."
Seeing that Guanyin had some doubts, he added: "When the fake is true, the true is also false, and when the true is false, the false is also true. Since Xuanmen has recognized this matter, your venerable need not worry."
"Disciple understands." Guanyin clasped her hands together.
The quest for Buddhist scriptures in the West is a gambling battle between Taoism and Buddhism.
It doesn't actually matter whether Sun Wukong is true or false. What matters is whether Xuanmen recognizes it or not.
As long as Xuanmen recognizes it, the fake ones will also be true!
Lingshan's only loss is the loss of one Sun Wukong.
However, this is not a big deal!
Not to mention that Sun Wukong is still just the Taiyi Golden Immortal, even if he is the Daluo Golden Immortal, it is nothing in terms of Lingshan’s background!
As long as the pilgrimage to the West can go smoothly, as long as Buddhism can be spread eastward and Buddhism can flourish, these are all acceptable!
"Li Anran, is he really fake?"
Tianlao, outside cell No. 318 B.
Nezha stared at the monkey inside for a long time, then turned to look at Li Anran next to him, with a look of doubt on his face: "Why do I feel that he is real?"
When the two monkeys broke into the heaven, Nezha was subduing demons in the mortal world. After coming back, he immediately rushed to Tianlao to join in the fun.
But, it's still too late.
When he got to the prison, this was the only real monkey left.
During this period of time, Monkey also guessed Li Anran's intentions and felt very complicated.
There is the worry that the Macaque King will be detrimental to Tang Seng, the desire to take this opportunity to regain freedom even if he makes a mistake, the gratitude to Li Anran, and the expectation that Tang Seng will find out that he is a fake when he returns and rescue him from prison.
With all kinds of thoughts mixed together, Monkey finally chose to acquiesce to the matter.
At the same time, he also decided on two plans for himself.
——If Master and the others can discover that the monster is fake, then he will continue to escort Master to the West to obtain scriptures, convert to Buddhism, and achieve enlightenment!
If they can't recognize him, it means they don't understand him at all, and there is no need for him to be a Buddhist monk anymore and just take this opportunity to regain his life!
At this moment, Nezha looked like he was watching a monkey...
Well, it was like looking at a monkey, staring at him back and forth for a long time. The monkey felt quite uncomfortable, so he simply turned his back and ignored Nezha!
However, when he heard that Nezha recognized him as real, the monkey was touched again and strengthened his previous thoughts.
Even Nezha, who had only interacted with him a few times, could recognize that he was real. There was no reason why Master and the others couldn't recognize him!
The monkey secretly swore in his heart that as long as the master sends someone to find me, I will treat him as my master wholeheartedly and respect him wholeheartedly, and I will never do anything against his wishes again!
"That's because you haven't seen the truth." Li Anran would not admit it, and then gave Nezha a perfunctory sentence.
His attention was on the Book of Punishment.
After the Macaque King was released from the prison, he did not give him an extra reward like those sinners who had been released after serving their sentences.
The identity information remains in the punishment book.
Only the [status] changed from "in custody" to "on escape".
The Book of Punishment obviously determined that "he was deceived by the Macaque King, so he released the Macaque King", so it judged the Macaque King to be on the run from prison, rather than being released after serving his sentence.
Because of this, he was able to see some of what the Macaque King went through after escaping from prison.
Although it was just some discontinuous pictures, it also allowed him to deduce a lot of useful information.
For example, Lingshan already knew that he deliberately made the lie come true, so he released the macaque king and locked the monkey in prison.
After the Macaque King left Tianlao, his first stop was at Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea to meet Guanyin. This is understandable.
But after that, he did not go back to Xiniu Hezhou, but went to Lingshan, which was a bit unreasonable.
Guanyin must have discovered some clues.
Tathagata could easily tell whether the monkey was real or fake in the original time and space, and he would definitely be able to tell it this time, which means that what he did has been exposed.
Li Anran was prepared for Lingshan to come to his door.
Unexpectedly, the Macaque King left Lingshan and returned to Tang Monk.
At the same time, he also heard a complete sentence among those intermittent images.
It’s what Tathagata said——
From today on, you are Sun Xingzhe, Jin Chanzi’s great disciple.
"Tathagata actually recognized it directly?!"
Li Anran was a little surprised.
But soon, I also figured out the reason.
Only then did he realize that monkeys had a very important weight in his understanding, but this was not the case in the eyes of Tathagata Guanyin!
To a force like Buddhism that has been passed down for countless years, an innate being with profound luck and extraordinary talents is nothing at all!
Even if he once worshiped under the incarnation of Saint Zhunti, he was no exception!
There are many people with the same status and circumstances in Lingshan!
"I guess it's the same with Master Taiyi, right? It's beneficial to gain, but it's just a pity to lose." Li Anran thought secretly.
On the other side, the Macaque King returned to Tang Monk, briefly told what happened in the heaven, and assumed the identity of Sun Wukong.
Because he learned from Guanyin that Tang Seng was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, a disciple of Tathagata, his attitude towards Tang Seng changed a hundred and eighty degrees, and he served Tang Seng in front of him and behind the horse.
The Monkey expected Tang Monk to recognize that the Macaque King was a fake, but it did not happen.
The monkey was wholeheartedly grateful to Tang Seng for rescuing him from the Five Elements Mountain, and because of the teachings of Patriarch Bodhi before he attained enlightenment, he also had feelings of admiration for Tang Seng.
But Tang Seng didn't like that he was fond of killing, cruel, rude, and rude, and he felt disgusted and even wary in his heart.
This can be seen from the fact that Tang Seng knew that Sun Wukong had flaming eyes, but still doubted Sun Wukong's judgment of monsters.
Now that Sun Wukong has been replaced by the Macaque King, his attitude towards Tang Monk suddenly became respectful, and he often asked Tang Monk about Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist principles.
Tang Seng only felt that the rogue monkey had finally changed his ways and returned to his right ways. He felt extremely relieved and was too late to be happy. There was no way he would associate the macaque king with the monster who hit him with a stick.
Not to mention, there is Guanyin Bodhisattva endorsing the Macaque King.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng are no exception.
Only when the monkey realized his mistake and corrected his attitude under the guidance of Guanyin Bodhisattva did he not doubt the identity of the Macaque King at all.
The four masters and apprentices traveled westward, and half a month passed in a flash.
On this day, the four masters and disciples walked on the road as usual and walked into a canyon.
Tang Monk was preaching Buddhist sutras to the Macaque King. Suddenly, the Macaque King's complexion changed drastically, and the monkey hairs all over his body exploded as if he had received an electric shock. He cried out, "Not good!"
Tang Monk and the other three were startled. Before they could react, they saw the trees all over the mountains and fields on both sides twisting and changing.
Monsters with ferocious faces suddenly appeared, waving swords and spears in their hands, waving flags and shouting at them with murderous intent.
The sky, which had been sunny just now, was suddenly covered with black clouds and howling winds. The evil spirits rising into the sky formed a single mass, covering a hundred miles in radius.
Dozens of figures also appeared on the top of the mountain in the distance.
The one in the center wore a polished silver wrought iron helmet and a pair of embroidered gold armor with velvet. His eyes were like bright mirrors, his eyebrows were as bright as red, his mouth was like a basin of blood, and his teeth were lined with copper plates. He roared viciously. :
"Monkey Sun! I've been waiting for you so hard!"
