Journey to the West: Nine-tailed demon emperor

Chapter 296

After Wen Zhong and the others retreated, Tathagata swept towards the demon clan present with a smile on his face.

Especially when the gaze stays on the second sister of the egg, the black wind, and the multi-eyed monster, there is a trace of curiosity in the flickering eyes, and it is not clear why these destined westward monsters gather here.

Secretly pinching fingers and counting, Tathagata's eyes flashed, and he looked strangely at Tu Shanhao who was supported by the group of monsters. He was very surprised in his heart, and he didn't know why so many strange numbers suddenly appeared.

Being watched by Tathagata's eyes, Tu Shanhao's whole body tensed up immediately, he was extremely cautious, and he held his left hand empty, ready to call out the Chaos Clock at any time to give Tathagata a ruthless blow first.

But obviously, the purpose of Tathagata's trip was not on Tu Shanhao, but on Sun Wukong, who was surrounded by blood and demons, and smiled without saying a word.

Being stared at by Tathagata for a while, Sun Wukong suddenly tightened his expression, secretly guarded himself, and shouted in a low voice:

"Great monk, looking at your posture, you must be the Tathagata Buddha of the Western Lingshan. If you don't recite the Buddhist scriptures at Lingshan, why go to the heaven to stop me from waiting?"

Looking at the guarded Monkey King, Tathagata frowned secretly, feeling that the Monkey King in front of him was slightly different from what he had imagined, and his cultivation base was also more powerful, making it difficult to control.

However, Monkey King is not a quasi-sage, and in the eyes of Tathagata, he is still a mere ant, and said with a light smile:

"That's right, the poor monk is the Venerable Sakyamuni of the West. I heard that you, a monstrous monkey, are daring and ignorant of teaching. You have repeatedly ignored the rules of heaven and made trouble. Now you are gathering people to attack the Heavenly Palace. At the request of the Jade Emperor, I am here to subdue you!"

Hearing this, Sun Wukong's eyes turned cold, and he secretly thought that the bald donkey was indeed the Tathagata Buddha who was found by the Jade Emperor to plot against him, and said with a sneer:

"My old grandson was raised by nature and is at ease. Why do you have to obey that shit? You are not the Buddha of Lingshan, so why should you subdue my old grandson?"

Tathagata shook his head slightly, smiled lightly and said:

"The Jade Emperor is the Heavenly Emperor of the Three Realms. The rules made are the rules of heaven. All living beings must obey them. Otherwise, you will violate them, and so will he. Wouldn't the Three Realms be in chaos? How can they be peaceful?"

Sun Wukong smiled disdainfully, and said in a low voice:
"Heh, then what's the matter with my old grandson? He has no virtue and incompetence as the Jade Emperor, and bullies us and other monster clans. So what if my old grandson is rebellious?"

Tathagata frowned slightly and said:

"Heavenly Court is the most important place in the Three Realms. How can you, a monstrous monkey, be able to act wildly? Since you have not changed after repeated admonitions, then don't blame the poor monk's methods."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong secretly gripped the golden cudgel tightly, and said with a sneer:
"Wildness? Today, my old grandson is not just acting wild, I also want to drive the Jade Emperor from the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, and overthrow the 33 heavens!"

Tathagata smiled contemptuously and said lightly:
"Kick the Jade Emperor off the throne of the Emperor of Heaven, do you know that the throne of the Emperor of Heaven is the Jade Emperor who has gone through 12 kalpas, and each kalpa takes 600 years to come, how could you, a little hozen, be able to act rashly, really ridiculous!"

Hearing the word "hozen", Sun Wukong was furious immediately, and said in a low voice:
"Fuck you hozen, my grandson is born holy, no matter how poor he is, how dare you look down on me?"

Tathagata smiled faintly, stretched out his palm and said:
"Since this is the case, then you and I will make a bet. If you can fly out of the poor monk's palm, the poor monk will turn around and leave, not interfering in the affairs of the Heavenly Palace. But if you lose, you will accept the punishment honestly."

Hearing this, Monkey King was startled immediately, and looked at Tathagata's huge golden palm vigilantly.

Seeing that Sun Wukong didn't make a sound, Tathagata said calmly: "Why, is it possible that you, a monkey, are also afraid sometimes?"

"Fuck your hozen, my old grandson didn't..."

"Big Brother, Seventh Brother!"

Being ridiculed by the Tathagata, Sun Wukong was about to agree angrily, but was stopped by Tu Shanhao and the Bull Demon King who stood beside him.

Turning his head to look at the two, Monkey King also understood that something bad happened just now, but what can happen now?

Tu Shanhao looked at the calm Tathagata with a solemn expression, shook his head and said:
"Brother, no, the Tathagata is very powerful, and the bet must not be agreed to. In the worst case, we will fight together, and we may not be afraid of the Tathagata."

"But……"

"Old Seven, don't be arrogant. Tathagata's strength is unfathomable. You won't be able to defeat him. At worst, if we don't set up a grand formation of ten thousand immortals, the outcome is uncertain."

Just as Monkey King was about to speak, he was interrupted by the Bull Demon King.

I saw the Bull Demon King's big rough hand pressed Sun Wukong's shoulder tightly, his face was solemn, but his eyes were indescribably firm.

Looking at the two men with firm gazes in front of him, Monkey King's eyes trembled suddenly, and he stared blankly at the group of monsters behind him.

I saw that no matter whether it was the Jiao Demon King and other demon saints, or the scarred little demon, they all looked at him with determination, and an unknown resonance was born in their minds.

Is fighting really for the sake of fighting bravely?
Gradually, Sun Wukong's thoughts drifted away, as if he had returned to the time when he worshiped the ancestor Bodhi.

On the scenic waterfall cliff, Patriarch Bodhi held the floating dust in his hand, looked at Monkey King with complicated eyes, and said slowly:
"Wukong, you are irritable and restless by nature. You may be in trouble in the future. Today, I have something to tell you as a teacher. I hope you will remember it well."

"Yes, master, just say it, the disciple must remember it, and dare not forget each other!" Sun Wukong agreed curiously.

Patriarch Bodhi stared into Sun Wukong's eyes and said solemnly:

"The heart ape is the shape of the heart, and it takes a strong mind to subdue the devil!"

"Master, what do you mean?" Sun Wukong scratched his head and asked in confusion.

Patriarch Bodhi shook his head slightly, and said lightly: "You don't need to ask too much, you will understand it yourself in the future, remember, remember..."

As the voice fell, the figure of Patriarch Bodhi gradually disappeared, and the scene returned to the battlefield again.

Sun Wukong glanced at the crowd of monsters with trembling eyes, and murmured as if he had just woken up from a dream:
"The ape of the heart, subdue the devil, only by subduing self-delusion can one truly practice, so it is so, so it is..."

Gradually, Sun Wukong seemed to understand the true meaning of the law of war, a faint breath surrounded his body, and a wonderful change evolved by itself.

Unknowingly, Sun Wukong's eyes, which were originally fierce and threatening, gradually softened, and a mighty and sacred aura rose from his body, showing a trace of solemnity.

When this change came into view, Tathagata's eyes flickered suddenly, marveling that Sun Wukong is worthy of being the son of luck, and his destiny is to return to Buddhism, but he has already comprehended a little bit of Zen.

Not long after, Sun Wukong's temperament changed drastically, and he looked firmly at Tathagata, and said solemnly:
"Since you want to gamble, it doesn't matter if I play with you, but how can you guarantee to abide by the bet?"

Hearing this, Tathagata's eyes flashed with pride, and he said calmly:
"The poor monk is the ancestor of Buddhism, and he never ambiguously speaks his words!"

"Okay, this is what you said, don't forget later." Sun Wukong shouted in a low voice, and he was about to walk towards Tathagata.

"Big Brother, Seventh Brother!"

Seeing Sun Wukong agreeing hastily, Tu Shanhao and the Bull Demon King were startled, and tried to stop them, but it was too late.

Sun Wukong looked back at the two with a faint smile, and said firmly:

"Don't be afraid, big brother and second brother, I know it well, and I won't take the lives of the millions of monsters behind me."

Looking at the resolute Monkey King, Tu Shanhao's heart trembled, as if he saw a shining treasure called responsibility.

At this moment, Tu Shanhao suddenly understood that the Monkey King at this time was finally no longer a willful and reckless Monkey King, but the Great Sage Equaling Heaven admired by thousands of monster races, a real king of monster races!
With a relieved smile, Tu Shanhao stretched out his palm and patted Monkey King on the shoulder, solemnly saying:
"Okay, I believe big brother, just go ahead, we've always been there!"

Seeing this, the Bull Demon King on the side also held back his words of persuasion, nodded heavily and said:

"Okay, seventh brother, don't worry, big brother has always been behind you, escorting you, even if he risked his life, he would not be able to take you away today."

"In that case, I would like to thank the elder brother and the second younger brother, and I will go!"

Smiling calmly, Monkey King turned around and walked towards the Tathagata who had already stretched out his palm, his blood-stained cloak fluttering wantonly, as if he was telling the arbitrariness of the past.
