Journey to the West: Yinhu Zhenjun

Chapter 266: The real and fake Monkey King, the immortal lost news

Prince Jiang's mood became increasingly unstable, and as a result, the entire capital became evil.

If Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva hadn't secretly recited sutras to cleanse the city, he would have fallen into all kinds of demonic desires.

But this is the reincarnation of Amitabha after all, and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva cannot easily intervene. He follows the prince every day to clean up the mess, and from time to time he even gets himself into trouble.

In the blink of an eye, the prince had grown up, and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, who was also his teacher and father, had become gray-haired. It seemed that he might fly to the west at any time, and he did not have the magnanimity he had when he was so powerful in the government and the public.

Lu Yin looked left and right on top of the cloud and said, "Why did the speed of time in Jukuzhou suddenly change?"

More than ten years have passed, but Lu Yin only feels like he has been working for two years.

Guanyin Bodhisattva opened his eyes and said: "Every time comes, heaven and earth all work together to prevent the heroes from being free. It is the World Honored One who takes action."

"World Honored?"

In this world, there is currently only one World Honored One, Tathagata Buddha.

Could it be that this big shot is impatient when he takes action?

Lu Yin raised his head and watched, and saw the prince arguing aggressively with Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, and then galloping towards the outside of the capital.

"pity."

Lu Yin shook his head slightly, "Only the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva and the old king can suppress the evil nature in the prince's heart. Now that the old king has gone west, the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva is a bit stretched."

That's what he said, but now, the two of them can't go down to earth to help him. Today's Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva is like Lu Yin's Zhang Jiao back then.

Everything must be done by oneself, but in this world, there is only one Zhang Jiao.

Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva fell down on the futon. Looking at his face, he also felt a little sad.

Before he could calm down, Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned and said, "This journey to the West is really not peaceful."

Lu Yin smiled and said, "Could it be that Sun Wukong caused some trouble again?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said angrily: "There is a demon who comes from nowhere and becomes like Sun Wukong. It will cause trouble in the South China Sea."

"Real or fake Sun Wukong?"

Lu Yin blurted out, and there was a faint flash of thunder in the air.

Guanyin Bodhisattva's face moved slightly, nodded, and said: "Yes, I have to go through this difficulty myself."

Lu Yin rolled his eyes and said, "That's fine, even though I'm a Bodhisattva, I'll go with you."

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded and took Lu Yin to fly on the clouds.

There is Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva guarding this place, so there is no problem.

South China Sea, Luojia Mountain.

Before Lu Yin and Guanyin Bodhisattva fell into the mountain, they heard a burst of shouting and golden light flying up.

The twenty heavens surrounded the two Sun Wukongs, making it impossible for them to advance or retreat.

Look at the two Sun Wukongs. They also have yellow hair and gold hoops, and golden eyes. They are also wearing straight brocade robes and tiger skin skirts around their waists. They also hold a gold hoop and iron rod in their hands, and they also have a pair of suede boots on their feet. They are also made of this kind of fur. The face has a thunderous mouth, the cheeks are shaped like Saturn, the ears are broad, the forehead is wide, and the fangs are outward.

While shouting and cursing, he kept pointing and throwing out all kinds of curse words. The angry Guanyin Bodhisattva looked ugly and shouted: "Noisy!"

"How can the pure land of Buddhism allow you two to be so presumptuous!"

Seeing the return of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the two Sun Wukongs hurriedly stopped, pointed at each other at the same time, and shouted: "Please ask Bodhisattva to take the decision and accept this fake Wukong!"

Lu Yin got closer to see what was real. With a glance, he saw that both his consciousness and his soul were exactly the same. Even if he could see clearly, he could not distinguish the true from the false.

The Bodhisattva said: "Let go of your hands and stand on both sides, waiting for me to look again."

Sure enough, he let go and stood still on both sides.One side says: "I am real!" The other side says: "He is fake!"

The Bodhisattva called Lu Yin and other gods to come forward, and whispered: "You can help one by one while I recite the "Tightening Mantra" secretly. The one that hurts is the real one, and the one that doesn't hurt is the fake one."

Each of them helped one person.The Bodhisattva secretly recited the mantra, and both of them cried out in pain. They both held their heads and rolled on the ground, shouting: "Don't think! Don't think!"

The Bodhisattva didn't think about it, so the two of them grabbed him again and continued to fight.

After several efforts, even Guanyin Bodhisattva could no longer hold back. Could it be that he was not practicing enough?
Lu Yin even praised the six-eared macaque for its amazing magical powers. Even Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't tell the difference.

The Bodhisattva called out "Sun Wukong", and both of them agreed.The Bodhisattva said: "When you were an official worshiping Bi Mawen and making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, all the gods and generals recognized you. You should go up to the realm to discern and respond."

The great sage gave thanks, and the traveler also gave thanks.

After seeing the two great sages off the mountain, Lu Yin stopped. Regardless of whether it was true or false, he had no hand in this matter and had no say in it.

I just remember that there are many conspiracy theories that have been misinterpreted or created by later generations in my mind, but now I can't prove them all.

It is impossible for Sun Wukong, who is at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, to be imitated so much.

Back in the mountain, the Guanyin Bodhisattva let out a long sigh and asked, "Lu Yin, can you tell the truth from the lies?"

Lu Yin replied: "Neither can I. The two Wukongs have similar spiritual consciousness and magic power, and even the tightening curse is the same. They are very powerful."

The Bodhisattva nodded and said: "The four monkeys in the world come from the same origin. I think the one who imitated Wukong is also one of them."

"Four Monkeys in Confusion?"

Lu Yin sounded familiar.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva explained: "The so-called Lingming Stone Monkey, Red-necked Horse Monkey, Band-armed Monkey and Six-eared Macaque come from the same origin. If they really have some magical powers, even I can't tell them apart."

Lu Yin narrowed his eyes and nodded, inexplicably remembering the four monkey demons Ma Liu Beng Ba captured in the Huaguo Mountain. Heavenly Court said at that time that they were also one of the four monkeys in the world.

But compared with this six-eared macaque, it is undoubtedly much weaker.

"But the four monkeys are very good, but they may not be able to get out."

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "Lu Yin, let's go."

Lu Yin nodded, knowing that he had followed the whole process and had nothing to do with the outcome, so he followed Guanyin Bodhisattva and turned back to Jukuzhou.

Let's say that when the two Wukongs went to heaven and entered the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor couldn't tell them apart, and even the demon mirror was useless.

And flew to the underworld.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva glanced at Thiting, who shook his head slightly and said: "Although he has a strange name, he cannot be exposed to his face, nor can he help capture him."

Ksitigarbha said: "What if I say it to my face?"

Di Tingdao said, "Speak to your face. I'm afraid that the evil spirits will cause evil attacks and disturb the palace, causing unrest in the underworld."

Then he asked: "Why can't I help in the capture?"

Di Ting said: "The demon spirit is as powerful as that of Sun Dasheng. How much magic power can the God of the Netherworld have? Therefore, he cannot be captured."

Ksitigarbha said: "How can we get rid of something like this?"

Di listened to the words: "Buddhism is boundless." Ksitigarbha had already realized it, and said to the traveler: "You two describe the same thing, and your supernatural powers are the same. If you want to distinguish, you must go to Sakyamuni Tathagata in Leiyin Temple to understand."

The two of them shouted at the same time: "That's right! That's right! Let me and you, the Buddha of the West, go and talk before you!"

The Lord of Hell of the Ten Palaces sent him off, thanked Ksitigarbha, returned to Cuiyun Palace, and asked the ghosts to close the Nether Pass without mentioning anything.

Lingshan, Daleiyin Temple,

There was a lot of noise between Sun Wukong and the two of them. Even the Tathagata Buddha sitting on the lotus platform heard the news and ordered people to guard the gate early to lead the two into the hall.

The great sage said: "The demon has transformed into my appearance and wants to go to the Lotus Platform to ask the Tathagata to distinguish the truth from the truth for me."

The King Kongs couldn't resist, they shouted down the stage, knelt down before the Buddha and said: "I protect Tang Monk, come to build the treasure mountain, ask for the scriptures, and spend a lot of energy refining demons and monsters along the way. Go halfway , I was robbed by strong men by chance, and it was my disciple who injured several people for the second time. The master blamed me for rushing back and forbidding to worship the golden body of the Tathagata. The disciple had no choice but to go to the South China Sea and see Guanyin to complain. Unexpectedly, this goblin pretended to change the disciple's voice and appearance , knocked down the master, and snatched away the luggage. The younger brother Wujing went to my mountain, and was lied to by the monster, saying that there was a real monk who learned the scriptures. Together with Wujing, they went to my mountain. Therefore, the two compared the true and false. They fought to the South China Sea, and then to the Heavenly Palace. Through the door of convenience, I spread my thoughts of compassion to my disciples to distinguish between right and wrong, so I can protect Monk Tang and worship the golden body, obtain Buddhist scriptures, return to the Eastern Land, and promote the great teaching forever."

The crowd listened to him speak in the same voice twice, and no one could tell. Only the Tathagata informed him.

The Tathagata said: "There are five immortals in the Zhoutian, who are the gods, humans and ghosts of heaven and earth; there are five insects, which are scales, hair, feathers and kuns. This guy is neither heaven nor earth, nor a god nor a human nor a ghost, nor a worm, nor scales, nor hair, nor feathers, nor worms." There are four monkeys in this world who do not fall into any of the ten categories."

The Bodhisattva below said: "May I ask who are the four monkeys?"

The Tathagata said: "The first is the clever stone monkey, which understands changes, knows the time of the sky, knows the favorable terrain, and moves the stars to change the battle. The second is the red-armed horse monkey, who knows the yin and yang, understands people, is good at going in and out, avoids death and prolongs life. The third is The four-armed ape can grasp the sun and the moon, shrink down thousands of mountains, distinguish between good and bad, and work with the universe. The fourth is the six-eared macaque, which is good at listening to sounds, can observe things, know the front and back, and everything is clear. These four monkeys are not among the ten. The species of this kind does not reach the name of two places. I think that the false Wukong is a six-eared macaque. If this monkey stands alone, it can know things thousands of miles away. A mortal can also understand when they speak. Therefore, it is good at listening to sounds and can understand things. , knowing the front and rear, all things are clear. The person with the same image and the same sound as the true Wukong is the six-eared macaque."

When the monkey heard the Tathagata telling him his true appearance, he was frightened, jumped up, and ran away.

The Tathagata lifted up the golden bowl and dropped it just as it was covering the bee.The crowd didn't know it and thought it was gone. The Tathagata laughed and said, "Don't say anything, everyone. The demon hasn't left yet, but it's still under my alms bowl."

As soon as the public came forward and lifted the bowl, they saw the original image, which was a six-eared macaque.Sun Dasheng couldn't bear it, he swung an iron rod and beat him to death with a single stroke, which is rare until now.

The six-eared macaque lay crookedly under the alms bowl, its spirit empty. It was obvious that Sun Wukong had just killed him, and now there was no chance to turn around.

In full view of everyone, a black air flew into Tathagata's body, but no one seemed to notice it. Only Tathagata frowned slightly and sighed: "Good, good."

Then he sent Sun Wukong away, appeased all the Buddhas, and then continued to preach.

But the black energy was strange. In an instant, it attached itself to the heart of Tathagata. The Tathagata's heart was stable and he just sighed slightly, "If it fades, I will grow. If I grow, it will fade. It's a good plan."

The Seven Treasures Lotus Platform under the seat emits tens of thousands of light, stabilizing the black energy. Tathagata hesitated for a moment, but withdrew the light and allowed the black energy to corrode.

"I want to bet the future with you."

After speaking, Tathagata waved his hand to cover up the dark energy in the Buddha's heart, and continued to teach the scriptures as usual.

On Jukuzhou, Guanyin and Lu Yin rushed here, but the body of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva was about to reach its limit.

After his physical body reaches its limit, the prince of Jiang Kingdom will have to bear the harassment of Demon Buddha Bo Xun alone.

"The leak in the house happens to rain all night!"

Lu Yin sighed, this Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva was unlucky, he never thought he could catch up with this.

Suddenly, Lu Yin's soul moved. It was Ao Bing's call from Liangying Mountain in Hezhou, Xiniu.

Lu Yin said bluntly: "Bodhisattva, wait a moment, I have something to do and leave first."

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded. Although he was curious on his face, he didn't ask any more questions.

Lu Yin cupped his hands and walked quickly towards Liangying Mountain.

When they landed in the mountain and saw that Ao Bing and Xiao Tiantian were safe and sound, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at the third person in the hall, Qingfeng.

"Qingfeng, why are you here?"

Lu Yin asked curiously.

Qingfeng's childish face was a little complicated, and she said quickly: "Brother Great Sage, please go to Wuzhuang Temple as soon as possible. The master has not been back for a long time."

"There was no reply even though I was sending messages through burning incense. Before I left, I said that if I ever go missing, I will have to come to you to find help."

Lu Yin's heart sank, what level is Master Zhenyuan at?The four of them tied together could not defeat Sun Wukong. Now that he has been missing for so long, something big might have happened.

Lu Yin looked at Ao Bing, and Ao Bing shook his head, "I haven't calculated anything, I'm just afraid that something is a little strange."

Lu Yin nodded, paused, and said, "Okay, let's go to Wuzhuang Temple now."

"I'll go as well."

Ao Bing followed.

Lu Yin shook his head, "The demon lord is behaving strangely. You should stay in the mountain to prevent any unexpected events."

Ao Bing frowned and looked at Lu Yin for a long time before slowly nodding in agreement.

The Rakshasa girl also came over and whispered: "Be careful."

Lu Yin smiled and nodded, touched the little faces of Rakshasa Girl and Ao Bing, took Qingfeng and rushed to Wuzhuang Temple.

On top of the cloud, Lu Yin asked how long it had been since Zhenyuan Immortal disappeared.

Qingfeng said: "Since I came back from Beizhou, I stayed for a few days, then left a few words and left."

"Does this mean that the Great Immortal has disappeared, and you are asked to come find me?"

Lu Yin asked.

Qingfeng nodded honestly. He looked bad and had been worried for a while.

Half an hour later, Lu Yin arrived at the Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain. He pressed the cloud head and was immediately surrounded by a Taoist man in green and Mingyue.

Qingfeng said quickly: "This is our senior brother in Guanzhong, Yang Qian."

"Elder brother, this is Huangtian Great Sage Lu Yin."

Yang Qian bowed his hands and showed a wry smile, "I'm sorry for bothering you, Great Sage."

Lu Yin even said that he didn't dare. This so-called senior brother was actually a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Although his realm was a bit illusory, he was also a real person.

"If the matter is urgent, please obey the authority. I would like to trouble you to tell you what the Great Immortal has said before."

Lu Yin said.

Yang Qian nodded and said: "After the master came back from Beizhou, he looked very happy. He talked about the Taiyi Dao Fruit for several days, and I entered the Taiyi Golden Fairyland."

"After he finished speaking, he went into seclusion for three days. One morning he called the three of us to him and said he wanted to go out. If he didn't come back, he would ask the great sage to come and help."

"It has been two years since the master left."

Lu Yin frowned. Normally, monks would stay in seclusion for tens to hundreds of years. Is two years too much?

Yang Qian followed: "Master has not been in seclusion for a long time. If he is in seclusion, he will notify me beforehand to avoid not being able to entertain his friends properly when they arrive."

Lu Yin nodded, and the memories in his mind began to tumble.
