The King of Fortune

Chapter 427 Six-eared Macaque

Heavenly Court mobilized [-] heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals to suppress the demons. Naturally, such a large battle was not hidden from Tathagata's eyes and ears. With his extraordinary insight, he saw that the demons in Shuangcha Ridge were making trouble, and the person who planned everything secretly was San Qing.

In his opinion, it was inevitable for Sanqing to take action. After all, Yang Jian's status was extraordinary. This was the first incident of apostasy by a disciple of Taoism since the integration of forces.

Originally reported the attitude of going to the theater, but the people sent by Taoism were strong but capable, and within half a day, they were taken over by the heavenly court.Tianting is so powerful, and Sanqing doesn't care about this matter, which makes Tathagata a little unhappy.

Naturally, the two families will not go to war because of this matter, but Taoism is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others. It loses its wife and loses its soldiers.

I just accepted the three people who burned the lamp. After more than 1000 years, Yuanshi Tianzun made a move. As soon as he made a move, he was injured and Puxian was killed. Why did he have a completely different attitude towards Tianting?

"Brother, you are worried that the heaven will become bigger, and there will be no place for my Buddhism in the Three Realms."

Since the two of them untied their knots, Patriarch Bodhi gave up the foundation of Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai and returned to Lingshan, preparing to fight with the Tathagata to carry forward Buddhism.

Heaven's rule over the three realms is becoming stronger and stronger, and the Three Purities are one, if you separate from Tathagata, the final result, the family business you have worked so hard to build, may be divided up by Heaven and Taoism.As Tathagata said, in the face of the big picture, personal grievances are nothing.

And all the disciples that Patriarch Bodhi received before were incorporated into Buddhism.

Tathagata sighed: "That's right, I'm thinking about it."

Taoism has Dongsheng Shenzhou as its territory, and it can only retreat a step in the face of the strength of the heaven, let alone Buddhism.As the master of one party's power, Tathagata naturally has this concern.

Patriarch Bodhi said: "Brother, don't worry. I'm unpredictable. I don't have any confidence in his behavior. But Yuanshi Tianzun, this person is very strong, and he must avenge his revenge. He has suffered such a big loss. May rest."

Back then, Patriarch Bodhi traveled back and forth to the East for the great cause of teaching, and the person he had the most contact with was Yuanshi Tianzun, and he was very clear about this person's character.

Hearing this, Tathagata couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "In this way, Yuanshi Tianzun still has a plan."

Patriarch Bodhi nodded noncommittally.

At this moment, he lit a lamp to ask for an audience, and the Tathagata let him enter the hall to speak.

Burning the lamp saluted to the two respectively, and said to the Tathagata: "I would like to report to the World Honored One, since the death of Pu Xian, Manjusri's mood has been greatly affected. He has been locked in the room all day without seeing anyone. The disciple is really worried. Please persuade the World Honored One to persuade him." he."

Tathagata said: "These two people have deep feelings, and they are inseparable in Lingshan. Samantabhadra should be robbed, and Manjusri is sad. This is also a reasonable thing. If he has to come out of this matter, no one can help him."

There are eight hardships in life, and for Buddhist disciples, it is also a kind of tempering. Only by letting go of obsessions and accepting them calmly, can the mind be tempered and great wisdom realized.

Ran Deng's expression changed, and he said, "Thank you World Honored One for your guidance, this disciple understands."

Tathagata nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said again: "The incident of burning the lamp and the chaos in Lingshan was secretly manipulated by someone, and I want to tell you, that person has a deep relationship with you."

Ran Deng raised his eyelids, then quickly lowered them, and said calmly: "World Honored One, my disciple is now a Buddhist Buddha. For me, everything in the past is just a dreamlike experience, which has nothing to do with the Buddha. Compared with superior wisdom, it is really insignificant. No matter who that person is, what does he have to do with disciples."

After Puxian's death, Ran Deng analyzed the entire cause and effect of the Lingshan Rebellion, and felt that it was inseparable from Taoism.Now it seems that it is Yuanshi Tianzun who secretly planned everything.

Only when Yuanshi Tianzun and Puxian died, can this be explained.

Tathagata said: "I'm confused, you go down. Manjushri has to get out of the difficulties he is facing. If you have time, you can read a few scriptures with him. Maybe it will help him.

"The disciple takes orders."

Ran Deng turned around and left the hall.

Looking at his back, Patriarch Bodhi said: "Brother, I never thought that Ran Deng would grow so fast. In time, he would become the pillar of Buddhism." At the beginning, although Patriarch Bodhi praised the three people in words, his main purpose was Digging out the corners of teaching and enriching the Western heritage, I never thought about the future achievements of Randeng.

Tathagata smiled and said: "Randeng has great wisdom, especially after I sealed it as a Buddha, the change is very obvious. If he hadn't taken action to stabilize the situation in the last Lingshan chaos, my Buddhism would have suffered even more losses!"

Patriarch Bodhi nodded.

"Junior brother, there is one more thing. 300 years ago, the Huaguoshan stone monkey appeared in the world, and in my Xiniu Hezhou territory, a vision also appeared a month ago. Although there was no earth-shattering movement, it was extraordinary. I caught it with magic power. "

Tathagata said slowly.

Patriarch Bodhi wondered: "The vision that brother mentioned, could it be related to that stone monkey?"

Tathagata said: "That's right, there are five immortals in the sky, they are gods, men and ghosts; there are five insects, they are feathers and insects with scales and feathers. There are also four monkeys mixed with the world, and they do not belong to the ten categories. This vision is that one of the monkeys was born into the world." .”

The ancestor Bodhi had never heard of the saying that the four monkeys mixed up the world. He couldn't help admiring the Tathagata's knowledge, so he hurriedly asked, "Which four monkeys?"

Tathagata said: "The first is the spirit stone monkey, which can understand changes, know the time of day, know the location, and move stars to change battles. The second is the red-legged horse monkey. The arm-armed ape, holding the sun and the moon, shrinking a thousand mountains, arguing about rest and blame, and teasing the world. The fourth is the six-eared macaque, who is good at listening to sounds, can perceive things, knows before and after, and understands everything. These four monkeys are not among the top ten. Among the classes, there are no two names."

Patriarch Bodhi suddenly realized, and said: "According to my brother, these four monkeys are all born spiritual creatures, rare seedlings of cultivation."

"That's right, the Lingming stone monkey is the one who was born in Huaguo Mountain, and the vision in Xiniu Hezhou not long ago is the six-eared macaque. Junior brother, I want you to take this monkey into your family and teach it carefully. Buddhism is of great use to me."

The Tathagata took a look at Patriarch Bodhi and expressed his intentions.

But Patriarch Bodhi said: "Senior brother, since he has taken a fancy to the six-eared macaque, why don't you take him under his family so that he can be cultivated. Senior brother, your practice is far superior to mine, so in your hands, wouldn't it play a greater role."

Tathagata said: "Brother, my identity is too sensitive. If this monkey stays with me, it will not help him in his practice. Brother is not the case. You are not only proficient in the scriptures of the Three Vehicles, but also understand Taoist supernatural powers. If you teach it, this monkey will achieve success." Only when you are big, you will be able to shine in the Three Realms in the future."

He has already accepted several apprentices, among which Kasyapa, Ananda and Jin Chanzi are the most enlightened.

Patriarch Bodhi didn't refuse either, and agreed straight away: "Since the brother has said so, then the poor Taoist will go and take the six-eared macaque under his family."

Tathagata's face became extremely serious, and he said solemnly: "Junior brother, I still have an uninvited request, the six-eared macaque, you can only teach him in Fangcun Mountain of Lingtai, and you are not allowed to enter Lingshan."

"Why is this?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Patriarch Bodhi's expression changed, and he hurriedly said: "Poverty understands, brother, please rest assured."

Tathagata smiled and nodded.
