Reborn Westward Journey: Monkey King

Chapter 519 Plan, Westbound Conspiracy (First update!)

"Going west to learn scriptures?"

The Jade Emperor shrank his pupils slightly and frowned. Of course he knew what it meant to go west to learn Buddhist scriptures!
It's just that the one who has benefited the most from traveling west to learn Buddhist scriptures is Buddhism. What does it have to do with Heaven?
"Could it be that Your Majesty thinks that going west to learn Buddhist scriptures in the Heavenly Court is of no great benefit?"

The Tathagata Buddha saw what the Jade Emperor was thinking, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Isn't it? By learning scriptures from the west and passing them on to the east, the influence of the Buddhism in the west will expand to Dongshengshenzhou, and the number of believers will increase a lot, but it will not do any good for the heavenly court. A piece of Buddhism is not beneficial but harmful, if it is a Buddha, would you agree to such a proposal?"

The Jade Emperor raised his eyes and glanced at Tathagata Buddha, and said calmly.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong!"

Tathagata Buddha waved his hands and said, "Buddhism and Taoism are originally a family. Now that the monster clan is powerful, the trajectory of destiny has also changed. This third time, the battle between Buddhism and Taoism in the immeasurable calamity may turn into a struggle for supremacy among all races. Under the circumstances, will His Majesty make the Yaozu bigger for the sake of mere small profits?"

"This……"

The Jade Emperor frowned, the Tathagata Buddha's words were indeed reasonable, but he was really unwilling to let him agree to go west to learn scriptures.

"Going west to learn Buddhist scriptures is a plan that has been agreed long ago. Now it is just implemented in advance. Why hesitate?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Your Majesty, don't you know how to make the decision, whichever is the lesser of two evils?"

During the Battle of Conferring the Gods, the two leaders of Western religions led the Taoist priest and the Zhunti Taoist priest to help explain the teachings and break the sword formation of the immortals. At the time of the catastrophe, it should be the turn of Buddhism to prosper, and it is considered to have repaid the fruits of the year. Although the current West Heaven Buddhism was taken from Amitabha Buddha by the Tathagata Buddha, it is considered to be in the same line, and the cause and effect are naturally counted above the Buddhism.

If Sun Wukong hadn't been reborn against the sky and changed the trajectory of destiny in the dark, it was destiny to go west to learn scriptures and the prosperity of Buddhism. Now that the Tathagata Buddha mentioned this matter, it was just to complete this destiny in advance. In Yuanshi Tianzun's view, There is no more damage to the Heavenly Court, and there is nothing to hesitate at all!
"Okay, since this is the destiny, I won't say more, I will accept this matter!"

The Jade Emperor finally nodded and agreed. Letting Buddhism benefit is a dispute between the two sects of the human race. Even if the interests of the heavens will be lost, it will not hurt the root cause. It's not a dispute, but a race dispute. Whether the court can keep it or not is another matter!
Yuanshi Tianzun is right, the lesser of two evils, there is nothing to hesitate about this matter!
"Thank you, Your Majesty! The person who will learn the scriptures has been appointed. It is the golden cicada under this seat. He has entered the reincarnation. After the tenth life, he has accumulated enough merits to go west to learn the scriptures. What is lacking now is the person who protects the scriptures!"

A flash of light flashed in the eyes of the Tathagata Buddha, and he said slowly, "The three remain the same, and they are still the candidates calculated according to the trajectory of destiny. But the strength of these three people is not enough to deter the demons. Along the way, there needs to be a person with outstanding mana and strong power to subdue the demons and escort the tenth reincarnation of Jin Chanzi to Xitian Lingshan. It is difficult to complete the 81. Only in this way can it be completed. The great cause of going west to learn the scriptures will suppress the monster race again!"

"The Buddha is easy to calculate, so it seems that if I don't agree, it will be difficult for me?"

The Jade Emperor laughed. These candidates for Tathagata Buddha’s scriptures are really interesting. General Shulin is the guard of the Tianting Imperial Forest Army Commander, Tianpeng Marshal Zhu Tianpeng is the commander of the Tianhe River Patrol Navy, and Ao Lie is the prince of the Dragon Clan. Participating in the Westward Journey to learn the Buddhist scriptures will inevitably receive the immeasurable merits and virtues bestowed by the Dao of Heaven. Most of them will go to the Western Heaven Buddhist Sect and the rest will be divided up by the Heavenly Court and the Dragon Clan. Unless the Jade Emperor is stupid, he will never refuse this kind of condition!

"I don't know who is the person with outstanding talents and powerful magic power that the Buddha prefers?"

Yuanshi Tianzun asked.

"Four Wasted Star Monarchs, Yuan Hong!"

Tathagata Buddha said in a deep voice, "Yuan Hong was originally a monstrous monkey with great powers. After his death in the Battle of the Conferred Gods, he was named the Lord of the Four Wastes and served in the Heavenly Court. Over the years, he was restricted by the Conferred Gods List, and his strength has been declining day by day. He has already been worn away. All the arrogance! As long as His Majesty agrees to release the restrictions on him from the Conferred God List and let him reincarnate with the contract, he will definitely be grateful to Dade and try his best to protect and protect the scriptures! With Yuan Hong's means, the monster clan forces on the way to learn the scriptures can also take advantage of the trend Extermination, this can be regarded as weakening the power of the Yaozu, what does your majesty think?"

"This statement is indeed justified!"

The Jade Emperor and Yuanshi Tianzun looked at each other. The choice of the Tathagata Buddha was really justified. According to this, Yuan Hong is indeed the most suitable candidate!
Yuan Hong's body is a gibbon monkey, and it is also a natural monkey. He also practiced eight or nine mysterious kung fu, and is proficient in 72 ways of transformation. At the peak of his combat power, he can compete with Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun Yang Jian at the same level. Although it is not as good as that monster monkey Sun Wukong, it is still quite rare!

If he hadn't been suppressed by the list of gods and his strength was deteriorating, Yuan Hong wouldn't be idle in the heavenly court. As long as the Jade Emperor agreed to lift the restrictions on the list of gods and let him regain his freedom, he would definitely sign a contract and become a guardian of the scriptures on the westward journey !
"Okay, I can agree to let Yuan Hong be the protector of the scriptures, but the contract must be signed between me and him. After the success of learning the scriptures, the power of merit and virtue in him will belong to the Heavenly Court. How about it?"

The Jade Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched his fists and made a decision, looked at the Tathagata Buddha with piercing eyes, and at the same time turned around on the face of the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha.

"Your Majesty is so wise and brave, I admire you! That's a deal!"

After Tathagata Buddha and Randeng Ancient Buddha exchanged a look, they nodded in response, and there was a burst of triumphant laughter in the hall, and a westward conspiracy against the monster clan was settled!

Outside the Great Leiyin Temple.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva each put their ears on a soil microphone, listening to the voice coming from the soil microphone, their eyes sparkled.

This is the method that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva thought of to eavesdrop. Listen to the conversation between the Tathagata Buddha and the Jade Emperor. It was learned from the mortal world. Inside the treasure hall of Leiyin Temple, the other end is extended to the outside of the hall along the seam of the ground with cotton thread, and the voices of the Tathagata Buddha and other people's conversations will be transmitted accurately.

This method is extremely simple, but it is the most effective. This wiretapping tool made of paper and thread has no aura fluctuations, will not be noticed by Buddha and others, and will not be affected by the sound-proof barrier. Now it is the third time During the immeasurable catastrophe, when the fate of heaven was in chaos, and the calculation ability of the sage of the heavenly way could not be fully utilized, the Tathagata Buddha and others would not have thought that someone would eavesdrop on their conversation in this way!
