Lingshan.
The Buddha's mood began to sour again.
"Why is Sun Wukong still as lazy as ever after cultivating for several years?" Buddha asked, puzzled. "How could someone so lazy cultivate to the Taiyi realm in just a few years?"
Ultimately, Buddha could only attribute the cause to talent and background.
Immediately, he had the same thought as Liu Er—such talent, yet such a temperament, what a waste!
"Fortunately, Liu Er can serve as a substitute, otherwise, this Journey to the West plan might be quite dangerous."
Even though Lingshan has always emphasized the emptiness of the four elements, it seems to be the most laid-back place.
However, they simply couldn't trust Sun Wukong, a seemingly insignificant character, with such a crucial mission as the Journey to the West.
Doctrine is doctrine, and doing things is doing things; the two should not be confused at all.
"Venerable Guanyin, convey my decree: it's time to act. Let the Underworld test Sun Wukong. No, add Six-Eared Macaque as well. If Sun Wukong proves to be incompetent, let Six-Eared Macaque take his place."
Guanyin Bodhisattva: "I receive the Buddha's decree."
……
Huaguoshan.
The substitute monkey ate a peach and felt drowsy. Then, its expression changed: "Here it comes. Whether I can gain my freedom depends on today."
The real Sun Wukong was plotting the fate of the Journey to the West, while Liu Er was plotting the merits of the Journey to the West; neither of them was without their own thoughts.
He didn't want much, just freedom.
Once Liu Er embarks on the path he is meant to take, he will be free.
At that time, he will not only be free in this world, but will also have fulfilled the mission given to him by the Creator.
From now on, he will also be a free being.
Close your eyes and stop resisting.
In a daze, he saw two underworld messengers, one in black and one in white, approaching with mourning sticks. They threw a chain at him, and a phantom was pulled out of his body.
The substitute monkey felt a lightness in its body, and a cool, gust of wind swept over it.
At this moment, his feelings were extremely complicated.
Unexpectedly, even someone at the Taiyi Realm level would be captured by the Yin Messengers.
This is simply beyond reason.
In fact, in this world, once you transcend tribulations and become an immortal, the Book of Life and Death no longer matters.
The Taiyi Realm far surpasses the Immortal Realm.
The fact that it can be locked away only shows how powerful it is.
Even those at the Taiyi Realm are merely larger ants, their lives and deaths beyond their control.
"...No, perhaps there's still a little bit more!"
The substitute monkey stumbled along with the underworld messengers towards the netherworld. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him: "I cultivated the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave Technique and became a Taiyi, but I only gained the method to avoid calamity. I did not overcome the calamity, so I have not been freed from the mortal realm, and my name is still recorded in the Book of Life and Death."
“Master, was this also part of your plan? No wonder you didn’t let us undergo the Heavenly Tribulation, but only taught us the Seventy-Two Transformations to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation that occurs once every five hundred years.”
At that moment, he understood many things.
Many immortal sects have methods for transcending tribulations, so why didn't Patriarch Bodhi have one?
Definitely! (Zhao Hao)
Why didn't he pass it on, but instead had Sun Wukong cultivate the method to avoid calamity, instead of taking the right path?
Just as I was thinking this, I saw that we had arrived at the Gates of Hell.
The yin energy here was even stronger, with gusts of yin wind and mournful ghostly howls filling the air.
The substitute monkey stopped pretending to be asleep and woke up.
"This is where?"
"This place is the gates of hell. Sun Wukong of Flower Fruit Mountain, your lifespan is coming to an end."
The voices of the Black and White Impermanence were icy, but in reality, they were filled with dread.
The guy in front of me is at the Taiyi Realm.
Taiyi, Tao.
If he wants to rebel, it makes no difference whether he has only his soul or all three elements.
With a single thought, he possesses countless supernatural powers, far beyond what two lowly underworld officials can contend with.
As a result, the other party merely glanced at the Gates of Hell and nodded slightly: "So this is the underworld. Since your lifespan has come to an end, let's proceed according to the rules."
The Black and White Impermanence were stunned.
what happened?
This guy doesn't play by the rules!
Chapter 753 The Salted Fish Monkey, Guanyin and Ksitigarbha's Attitudes (1/5, Please Subscribe)
"Sun Wukong, a native of Flower Fruit Mountain, a stone monkey born of nature, lived to the age of three hundred and forty-two. Do you have any objections?"
"No."
"No?" Yama was stunned.
How could you not have one?
Shouldn't you fly into a rage and wreak havoc in the underworld?
You are a Taiyi Golden Immortal!
How can you be so submissive?!
The substitute monkey nodded: "Indeed, no. The cycle of heaven is constant. Since my lifespan has come to an end, then send me into reincarnation!"
King Yama was immediately as if he were sitting on a wax candle.
Sent into reincarnation?
joke!
The fortune of the immortal stones in Huaguo Mountain must be terrifying.
Sending you into reincarnation? Am I out of my mind?
Besides, I'm just acting; I wouldn't dare to do it for real.
He silently transmitted his thoughts to himself: "Bodhisattva, this monkey doesn't play by the rules at all, what should we do?"
In fact, Guanyin was speechless at this point.
A dignified Taiyi Golden Immortal, whose soul has been taken by the underworld. Not only are you not allowed to fight, but you don't even bother to argue.
This is so lazy!
"Fine, Yama, let's implement another plan." Helpless, Guanyin could only send a telepathic message to Yama, instructing him to implement the alternative plan.
King Yama understood, flipped through the Book of Life and Death again, and said awkwardly, "Immortal, there's been a mistake, a mistake. It was the Black and White Impermanence who failed in their duty and drew the wrong person. How about we strip all the monkeys from Flower Fruit Mountain of their mortal status as an apology?"
"No, no, that's not right." The substitute monkey shook its head. "It's just that it hooked the wrong person. You only need to let me go back. Why disrupt the cycle of heaven and make things difficult for you, King Yama!"
He is not the Sun Wukong of the original story, who only knows supernatural powers and is not afraid of the laws of heaven and karma.
Although the mortal register is a constraint, it is also a form of protection.
Having their mortal status removed, they appear carefree and unrestrained, no longer under the jurisdiction of the underworld.
In reality, they are no longer protected by heaven and earth, like zombies outside the six realms of existence.
At that time, the lives of the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain will no longer be governed by the Heavenly Dao. Even if someone slaughters all the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain, there will be no punishment from the Heavenly Dao.
This is a terrible thing.
It's like someone living in a modern country but not having that country's residency.
Then any rights in this country are none of your concern.
You will feel absolutely no sense of security here.
Although the substitute monkey had become a Taiyi, it was not arrogant. It knew that it could not protect a group forever, so how could it let Yama do something that seemed like an apology but was actually very dangerous?
King Yama was taken aback.
He discovered that he could no longer understand the monkey in front of him.
Despite having the body of a monkey, he showed no signs of a monkey's impatience, instead resembling a Taoist master.
“Since the immortal does not pursue the matter, then I thank you very much.” King Yama cupped his hands, his expression solemn. “If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know. If I can help, I will certainly do my best.”
"You're too kind, Lord Yama."
Thus, with Yama's politeness, the substitute monkey's soul returned to its body.
"came back!"
