Sai Taisui, who was the Great Immortal of Jie Jiao back then and had been a mount under the Bodhisattva for many years, and who was now free, naturally knew many things that others did not know.
Among them, the Bodhisattva invites fellow Taoists from the three realms to plan various disasters for Tripitaka’s master and disciples on their journey to the west.
And Sai Taisui was already in a disaster. It's just that the original disaster seemed to belong to Tang Seng and his disciples.
But now it seems that this journey to the West has escaped the control of the Bodhisattva.
Thinking about it carefully, every time the Bodhisattva comes back after going out, there seems to be some indescribable changes. Although it is very subtle, it has been subtle until now.
After all, this Golden Light Immortal is the Great Immortal of Jie Jiao. He has been by the Bodhisattva's side for a long time and can discuss the Tao with the Bodhisattva in his spare time. Naturally, he noticed some clues.
Times have changed.
Not to mention the power of Jiejiao to traverse the three realms, it has already become a thing of the past.
So what if it’s just teaching?
Now in the Three Realms, isn’t it the same as in the past?
The fights went on and on, until you finished singing and I came on stage, I don’t know what the fight was about.
Living beings fight against each other, and the dispute between Taoism and Taoism seems to have never stopped since the creation of the world by Pangu, and now it is the turn of Buddhism and Taoism.
If I really could not come out of seclusion and recited Huang Ting quietly, what would my situation be like now in the Three Realms?
However, when I think that I and others left the island with their master, I can only smile helplessly in my heart. Even the master will inevitably end in the catastrophe, let alone myself?
The list of gods.
Speaking of which, I am actually quite lucky.
Sai Taisui thought for a while. At this time, he thought of his childhood in Zizhu Forest. He was really carefree and even had some inexplicable aftertaste.
Sai Taisui looked at Sun Dasheng in front of him. Compared to other "monsters", Sai Taisui was relatively familiar with Sun Dasheng. After all, Sun Dasheng would run to the Bodhisattva every three days. At that time, he was still in his original demon form. This monkey was unashamed. He was so brave that he really wanted to come up and ride him.
If the Bodhisattva hadn't scolded him and tried to frighten the monkey, he would have given him a serious look.
Now that we met in Qilin Mountain, it was considered as meeting old friends. As for the other party's words of "transcendence", Sai Taisui didn't take it to heart. Anyway, he had never done anything bad, but Tang Sanzang came in person. He dared to commit murder for no reason. ?
Just as he was thinking like this, Sai Taisui suddenly asked: "What about the king?"
"You clogged someone's stomach with a rice dumpling, and you turned into a demon on the spot. You kidnapped someone's wise queen and made her constipated for three years. You also suffered from panic and worry." The Great Sage glanced at him and said, "This thing is so unreasonable. If you had been better, I, the old grandson, could have done it with you. But now, it is hard for me, the old grandson, to do anything."
"Let's do this." Sai Taisui thought for a while and said to the Great Sage: "How about I personally go to the Zhuzi Kingdom with the Great Sage to get rid of the root cause of His Majesty's illness and apologize to him?"
"Without your Majesty's trouble, my master has already cured the king's illness."
"Stomach diseases are cured, but the disease of fear and worry..." Sai Taisui was not a mortal monster. He naturally knew that this heart disease was the real root cause of the king's illness.
"Hey." The Great Sage laughed, "Panic disorder can also be cured. Even if the lovesick king wants to ask that disciple of yours to return to the court?"
Sai Taisui also had a serious expression on his face, "My disciple has very good ideas. If she wanted to go back, she would have gone back long ago. Look, she has the final say in Qilin Mountain? But I am her master, I will speak. She didn’t dare not listen.”
"Wait a minute." The Great Sage stretched out his hand and said, "One more thing."
"What's the matter?" Sai Taisui looked at the Great Sage.
"When you kidnapped him, you threatened to become a monk. You ruined his innocent reputation. Going back like this will inevitably cause criticism from the government and the public." The Great Sage is not a reckless person now, especially since he followed the master on his journey westward. , naturally know that many times rumors are actually more hurtful than swords.
"This is my fault." Sai Taisui did not shirk the situation and asked the Great Sage for advice: "I also ask the Great Sage to give me a perfect strategy."
"It's hard to handle, it's hard to handle." The Great Sage shook his head repeatedly and said: "This is the first time for me to accept such a lawsuit. I don't have any good ideas for the moment. Don't let me think about the trouble you caused. No. To tell you the truth, I still like the monster from before."
"Oh?" Because Sai Taisui couldn't think of any good way, he put aside the matter of how to send the Golden Holy Palace back, and instead curiously asked the Great Sage: "How were the monsters in the past?"
The Great Holy Eyes showed a little light, and seemed to bring out some anger, "In the past, the monsters wanted to eat Tang Monk's flesh, and they usually did heinous things. When I met them, I just said Just smash their heads with the golden hoop.”
After hearing this, Sai Taisui said in his heart: This monkey is more murderous than me. It is thanks to Master Tripitaka that he was able to restrain him.
Speaking of this monkey, it turns out that he is not afraid of anything. How can ordinary people discipline him? But I never expected that such an arrogant Monkey King would only listen to two people in the entire Three Realms.
One is naturally his master Tripitaka, and the other is Bodhisattva.
I haven’t seen Master Tripitaka Sai Taisui yet, but he knows the Bodhisattva best.
Sai Taisui thought about what the Bodhisattva would say if he were here and heard the monkey's words. Then he felt blessed in his heart and said with a smile: "Isn't this a good thing?"
The Great Sage looked at Sai Taisui and said with a smile: "There are fewer monsters causing mischief, which is naturally a good thing for all living beings in the three realms."
This monkey is truly worthy of his reputation. Not only is his talent extraordinary, but his understanding is also extraordinary. No wonder he has been able to practice to this level in a short period of time and even impress the Bodhisattvas.
Sai Taisui knew that the Bodhisattva had always wanted to raise a monkey in the purple bamboo forest, but he had never been able to catch his eye.
Now Sai Taisui has also figured it out. If the Bodhisattva has seen a monkey as great as the Great Sage, he will naturally not have any thoughts of supporting other monkeys.
Of course, there are other monkeys in Luojia Mountain, but the fairies in the mountain all know that only those who can enter the purple bamboo forest can be regarded as the spiritual pets of the Bodhisattva. The fairies in the mountain can only be regarded as being protected by the Bodhisattva.
"Amitabha." Sai Taisui recited the Buddha's name, "This is the merit of Master Tripitaka!"
He can be regarded as a half-Buddhist. The Bodhisattva chants sutras all day long, and he naturally listens to them all. Besides, with their level of cultivation, it is not difficult to practice both Buddhism and Taoism.
Moreover, monks like them, who are almost at the top of the Three Realms, only rely on Taoism to practice. Whether it is Taoism, Buddhism, demons, or demons, they always have to integrate them into one body and find a path to the sky that truly belongs to them.
Just like today's Bodhisattva, another part of the reason for her transformation may be that she has re-emphasized her past Taoist practice.
In the past, when they were on Jin'ao Island, their master had told them that if they followed other human paths, they would always see an end.
This is one of the reasons why the monks who explain the teaching are like being carved from a template, while the monks who teach the interception can "let a hundred flowers bloom".
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, Jiejiao is just a swarm of demons and monsters, which is actually the case. They Jiejiao adheres to the principle of teaching without distinction, and they claim that thousands of immortals have come to the court. Unfortunately, they disappeared in the clouds, which is sad.
Seeing Sai Taisui reciting the Buddha's name, the Great Sage did not find it strange. After all, he had a background in Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea.
In today's three realms, although Bodhisattvas belong to the spiritual mountain Buddhist sect, the status of Nanhai Luojia Mountain in the hearts of human believers is not necessarily any worse than that of Lingshan.
It can even be said that even if a Bodhisattva establishes his own sect and wants to establish a Cihang Buddha Realm in the South China Sea, he will not be able to compete with Lingshan in an instant, but he will definitely be no weaker than the major sects of Tantric Buddhism.
The Great Sage and Sai Taisui stared at each other and chatted a lot, but they didn't come up with any practical ideas. "The Master has great wisdom and the Great Sage is in a somersault cloud. Why don't you ask Master Tripitaka for advice?"
Yes!
The Great Sage didn't stay much and turned around and walked away.
It's just that he didn't go back to Zhuzi Kingdom directly. Instead, he went to Qilin Mansion and only listened to the words of Sai Taisui's family, which was obviously not in line with the master's teachings. He had to try his best to find out as much as possible during this trip.
Therefore, the Great Sage decided to meet the Empress of the Golden Saint Palace. With the tokens she had obtained from the king when she came, and the fact that she had a female nun who was protecting her, the Great Sage believed that he could get to know her. Get something useful out of the other person's mouth.
Sai Taisui noticed the movement of the great sage, but he had no intention of stopping it.
According to his own idea, he originally wanted to wait until Master Sanzang passed by the Zhuzi Kingdom and learned that he had kidnapped the Golden Saint Palace Empress. He only wanted to wait for their masters and apprentices to come to ask for her, and then he would have a fight with them. Just hand the person over and forget it.
According to the Bodhisattva, this can be regarded as making things difficult for their master and disciple to travel westward. But they never expected that the Empress of Jinshenggong had her own ideas and some extraordinary abilities. The deviation would be huge. It started and developed to what it is now.
As for Sai Taisui, whether the Empress of Jin Sheng Palace leaves or not has nothing to do with him.
Even if he is willing to let people go, the Empress of Jin Sheng Palace may not be willing to abandon the foundation she built with her own hands.
queen?
Queen!
This is not a multiple-choice question at all for an ambitious person like the Empress of Jin Sheng Palace, and Sai Taisui proposed to accept her as a disciple. Firstly, it is a good talent she has. It would be a pity if it was wasted; secondly, Sai Taisui proposed to accept her as a disciple. Come, it might as well be a tentative move.
From the time when the Empress of Jin Sheng Palace worshiped under Jin Guangxian and became a disciple of the "Three Generations of Jie Jiao", the queen's choice was obvious.
It's just that the goblins in Qilin Town still like to call her empress, but this little thing is not a problem at all. Some false names are not taken to heart by Jinshenggong empress at all, and when calling her "empress", she herself It sounds like I'm used to it.
This Haizhi Mansion has an extraordinary momentum, and under the guidance of the "Golden Light Immortal", it has hidden some formations according to the pattern of the four images.
The Great Sage thought for a while and simply left outside the mansion.
"who!"
The two goblins guarding the gate immediately raised their weapons and wanted to capture the Great Sage. The Great Sage was not in a hurry, but he lifted up a bunch of golden treasures and said, "I am an old acquaintance of the Queen, please hand over this thing." Empress."
When the two little demons saw that the Great Sage's words were true and related to the Queen, they naturally did not dare to neglect them. Although they put away their weapons, they did not lose their vigilance. They only took out the golden treasure string and said to the Great Sage: "You are here for a moment." When the time comes, I’ll report it.”
Not long after, the goblin came quickly and spoke more politely. He stretched out his hand and said, "My queen, please come in."
After entering the gate and passing through the hall, I suddenly looked up in the back garden and saw a pavilion with eight bright windows. Outside the pavilion were two groups of demon foxes and deer, each dressed as a beautiful woman, standing around.
There is a golden chair in the middle of the pavilion, and the person sitting on the chair is the Demon Empress of Qilin Mountain.
The Great Sage took a brief look and saw that she had a handsome face but no makeup. Underneath her plain face, she had a cold and charming look.
The empress was playing with the golden string in her hands, and her eyes seemed to be full of memories and nostalgia. When she saw the great sage entering, she asked out of curiosity: "Where are you, the monster?"
The female cultivator behind her saw the true appearance of the Great Sage. She was stunned for a moment, then leaned over and said quickly: "Madam, this is Elder Sun. He is the great disciple of Master Sanzang. Monkey King, the Monkey King who is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace."
After saying that, the female cultivator bowed her hands towards the Great Sage and said, "I didn't expect to see the Great Sage here again. It's been a long time since I last saw him."
The empress was not surprised to see that she recognized the great sage.
The Empress of Jin Sheng Palace had known that she was a female cultivator from the Daughter Kingdom of Xiliang. She called her Zhao Chuan'er because she was ferrying on the Zimu River, so she got such a name.
And she had also told herself the story of when Sanzang's master and apprentice entered Xiliang, so it was not surprising to see the two of them acquainted now.
"Long time no see, long time no see!" The Great Sage also bowed his hands in greeting, "The female benefactor is not cultivating in the country, how come she is here?"
"Thanks to Master Tripitaka's magical prescription, all my old illnesses have been cured. Now the yin and yang in my body are harmonious. If I stay in the country for a long time, it is inevitable that the yin will enter my body and it will be difficult to get rid of it. So I informed the king of the country and traveled to the three realms." Zhao Chuaner smiled. He said: "My Lord also asked me to explore the whereabouts of Master Tripitaka along the way, and to send news about Master Tripitaka back to my country from time to time."
The Great Sage then remembered that when he was in the Daughter's Kingdom, as long as the master nodded his head, he could conquer a whole country. Not just half of it.
It's just that I didn't expect that the leader of the Xiliang Kingdom would still think about his master. The Great Sage had no other way to deal with this except lamenting that fate was playing tricks on people.
Seeing Zhao Chuan'er reminiscing with the Great Sage, the empress just listened and did not disturb them. After the two men stopped talking for a while, she waved her hands to the little demons and said, "You guys can go ahead."
What they just said didn't mean much to them, but obviously they still knew less about what they were going to say later.
"Master Tripitaka. Monkey King Qitian." The empress put the golden treasure string in her hand, and then looked at the Monkey King: "I know your intention. But your Majesty, are you going to ask your Excellency to rescue me and return me to the country?"
"Not bad." The Great Sage nodded, always very relaxed when talking to smart people.
"I understand the great sage's kindness, but the great sage can also see it. I am actually not under coercion now." The empress has an upright figure, and there is an aura in her.
"My old grandson will never force your Majesty, but Your Majesty, he is not the Queen's blessing in the country, and he is very worried about it. Since the Queen left, he has been seriously ill and has been bedridden for three years."
When the Great Sage spoke, he saw that although the empress's expression did not change much, her hands were inadvertently clasped together.
"I know this."
The empress tilted her head towards Zhao Chuan'er, who was beside her, and said, "Sister Zhao has been to the royal city before. Although she has never seen His Majesty, she also found out that His Majesty is ill in bed."
"Your Majesty, aren't you worried?" the Great Sage asked.
