Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 184 Equality and Justice

The fluctuation in Maitreya Buddha's eyes was fleeting, and he felt that things had developed beyond expectations.

The reason why he recalled the arm-armed ape was because he calculated that the secret that should have been clear at a glance began to be confused and blurred.

The matter of Tang Sanzang's four masters and apprentices traveling west to learn scriptures is related to the great prosperity of Buddhism, and now it has entered the second half, so there must be no mistakes.

So he hurriedly wanted to give the arm-branched monkey a warning, and beware of any accidents.

Yang Jiao looked at Maitreya Buddha calmly, and understood that the master in front of him probably didn't have a teacher-student relationship with him.

Otherwise, in the original plot, the arm-armed ape told all the thoughts in his heart at first, but said that he had not let go of worldly fame and fortune, and was punished to copy scriptures.

Thus deeply buried obsession, just waiting for others to water and fertilize.

Afterwards, there happened to be Huang Mei, a senior brother who treated the Armed Monkey very well, but his incendiary temperament directly caused the Armed Armored Monkey's obsession to break out, and the lower world asked Sun Wukong for trouble.

Later, the arm-armed ape fought with Sun Wukong and was captured by him and brought back to Maitreya Dojo.

Maitreya Buddha also had no empathy for the arm-armed ape, so he imposed a heavy punishment and sealed it into the gourd at the yin and yang poles. However, the gourd fell into the hands of the crow spirit related to Monkey King.

The more Yang Jiao thought about it, the more he felt that there was a lot of shady inside, judging from the final ending.

Everything that the arm-armed ape has experienced not only fulfilled the calamity of the Buddhist scriptures, but also took the opportunity to return the merits of subduing the tiger and Arhat to their place, killing two birds with one stone.

Then he knew that all of this was a calculation. Why Maitreya Buddha accepted himself as a disciple was fundamentally for the benefit of Buddhism.

Perhaps in his eyes, the gibbon monkey itself is a tool man for the calamity of Journey to the West, and a cow and horse in the future Buddhism.

Naturally, he doesn't take it to heart, so why talk about the friendship between master and apprentice, and how can he get into the eyes of the future Buddha, the Buddha, if he talks about the position of Arhat in the future.

Will the strong put themselves in the shoes of the weak, will they?

Judging from what Maitreya Buddha did, obviously not.

"Amitabha, arm-armed ape, you have gone astray because of the anger in your heart. You need to know that the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and you will be right when you turn around."

Maitreya Buddha pondered for a while:

"Now you go to copy the scriptures, so that you can rest assured."

"Yes."

Yang Jiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned and left.

Maitreya Buddha looked deeply at Yang Jiao's leaving back, wondering what he was thinking.

Although there is another plan for accepting this monkey as a beginner, but in the end, it is also a mutual benefit, and in the end it also gives the monkey a positive result, and immediately does not think about it.

In a meditation room.

Yang Jiao seemed to be copying scriptures, but in fact his thoughts were loose and he was thinking silently.

Judging from the fact that Maitreya Buddha still asked him to copy scriptures, he made up his mind to let him follow the path envisaged by Buddhism, and wanted him to die completely.

Immediately, the trace of residual friendship towards Maitreya Buddha in Yang Jiao's heart completely disappeared.

"Hey, arm-armed ape, you are really useless. If you are punished for copying the scriptures here, I am different. I follow the scripture learners to learn the Western scriptures, and cast down demons."

Suddenly, a monkey's head appeared on the paper where the scriptures were copied.

"Senior brother Huangmei, stop making trouble."

In an instant, a man in cassock with yellow hair and eyebrows appeared.

"Junior Brother, have you improved your Taoism again, and you can see it's me at a glance?"

"However, it's useless. I don't want to lie here and copy scriptures."

Huang Mei was surprised at first, then a little dejected, and then looked aggrieved:

"What's so great about Sun Wukong? He smashed the book of life and death, made a big disturbance in the heavenly palace, insulted the Buddha, and caused all kinds of catastrophes. He can also go to get the Western scriptures and make contributions to become a Buddha."

"It's really ridiculous, the younger brother should go."

"Besides, the two of you belong to the same kind. You are both the four monkeys of the mixed world, one is the Lingming stone monkey, and the other is the arm-armed monkey. In terms of aptitude, you are exactly the same."

"In terms of Taoism and law cultivation, I am afraid that he is far better than him now."

"Junior brother, in my opinion, you should fight with Sun Wukong once to let the world know that Sun Wukong is not as good as you. At that time, let's see who dares to change your monkey general pavilion into some kind of great saint pavilion."

Faced with Huang Mei's eloquent provocation, Yang Jiao was a little speechless. If he knew his senior brother, or he was not afraid of big things when he watched the excitement, he really thought that he wanted to use aggressive methods to get himself into trouble.

Thinking of the original plot line, in order to save herself, Huang Mei was able to kill a teacher and then fell from a fairy to a demon.

Yang Jiao sighed:

"Let's go."

"Uh, where are you going?" Huang Mei was stunned by Yang Jiao's sudden opening.

"Didn't senior brother say that I should go down to the realm to fight Monkey King?"

Yang Jiao grabbed Huang Mei's shoulders, and the two immediately disappeared in place.

Suddenly, a light flashed on Yang Jiao's manuscript copy, and a scroll appeared.

Suddenly, a fat figure appeared in the Zen room.

It was Maitreya Buddha. As his own dojo, he naturally knew everything in the dojo well.

Earlier, he inadvertently disclosed the matter of the arm-armed ape to Huang Mei, because he knew the temperament of the senior apprentice, and he would definitely fight for the junior disciple, thus luring him to the lower realm.

But Maitreya Buddha thought about the conversation between the two before, and couldn't help but feel worried. He was deeply afraid that his second apprentice would not play cards according to the routine, which had nothing to do with the great cause of Buddhism.

The arm-armed ape is one of the catastrophes destined for heaven, and nothing can happen, so that it pays attention to everything that happens in the meditation room at all times.

Fortunately, everything is back to normal now.

Immediately, Maitreya waved his hand, and the scroll on the case spread out in mid-air.

It can be seen that there are no beautiful and stunning landscape calligraphy and paintings on the scroll.

It's just two simple pictures.

In a picture, there are three men of different heights, high, medium and low, vividly vivid on the paper.

There is a low wall in front of them, and the three of them seem to be looking at something facing the wall, and there is a box standing under each person's feet, which increases the field of vision and enables them to better watch the scenery outside the wall.

Therefore, it can be seen in the picture that the tallest man and the man of medium stature are tall enough to see the scenery outside the wall.

Even if the shortest man stood on the box, he couldn't see the outside scene because of his lack of height.

Another picture.

At this time, the box under the tallest man's feet was moved to the shortest man's feet so that the two boxes overlapped.

The shortest man is enough to see the scene outside the wall, and the tall one can't see outside the wall because he has enough stature and hasn't lost the box.

I saw equality in the front picture, and justice in the back picture.

Just such a simple painting scroll made Maitreya Buddha, who is in the golden fairyland, dazed.

"The so-called law of the jungle is an incentive for the weak, not a reason for the strong to bully the weak."

"Facing the hopeless people, we can impose severe punishments to set the record straight."

"In the face of injustice and partiality, enduring it will make others worse."

In the painting scroll, Yang Jiao's voice suddenly paused:
"People in the world slander me, bully me, humiliate me, laugh at me, belittle me, belittle me, hate me, lie to me, how should I deal with it?"

"Endure him, let him, let him, avoid him, endure him, respect him, ignore him, stay for a few more years, just watch him."

"Forbearance, that's not the way I want to go."

"Since the Buddha cannot give me equality and justice, then I will get it myself."
