I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 663 Countless Possibilities

The arrival of someone from outside was something that could not be concealed in this small mountain village, let alone the fact that the person who came in was what the older generation called a monkey.

Meng Qiuyu was packing his bag and making final preparations to go out when he saw Qi Renchan rushing in excitedly, "The monkey is back, the monkey is back!"

"What monkey?"

Meng Qiuyu didn't react for a moment.

"Of course it's the monkey trapped on the hill at the entrance of the village!"

Qi Renchan's face flushed red at this moment, and he looked very proud, as if it was another him who was laughing at this matter two days ago.

Meng Qiuyu stopped packing his bags.

Although he had anticipated the peculiarities of the village.

But the appearance of monkeys is irrefutable evidence.

"Go and have a look."

The two of them hurried to the academy. The younger generations had all heard about the monkey and were now looking outside the teacher's yard. They all wanted to see what the trapped monkey looked like.

And the monkey was rolling around in the Master's study.

"You asked us to go west to obtain the scriptures. It's understandable that there are many hardships along the way. But if you don't heal Junior Brother Sha's injury today, I'm afraid we won't be able to make the journey. We should disband tomorrow!"

Zhou Tieyi smiled silently and looked at Shengshan who had a gloomy face and remained silent. He still didn't want to admit his mistake.

"I can't save it."

Zhou Tieyi said calmly, picked up the book on the table and read it with great interest.

"Can't save it?!"

Yuan Tong's voice became a little louder.

While the monkey didn't tear down the house directly, Zhou Tieyi said with a smile, "Have you ever heard of the saying, 'A clay Buddha can hardly save himself when crossing a river?'"

Yuan Tong frowned.

He knew Zhou Tieyi's difficulties. This small mountain village was inhabited by real "demons and monsters". Any one of them would be more powerful than all the ones they had encountered along the way combined, and could really turn the world upside down.

So during the years he was trapped here, he knew that everything here was "ordinary". Tianzun was just a teacher here, so how could he save other people?

"Then you have to tell us a prescription to save people. I don't believe you don't even have this!"

Zhou Tieyi said with a smile, "That's true."

He looked at Shengshan, "That day you stopped me from building the Thirty-three Heavens, and your golden body was burned by the fire of the people. Have you gained any insights over the years?"

Shengshan's ferocious face raised, "Although I was not right back then, you may not be right either!"

Zhou Tieyi shook his head.

This is exactly the representative of "stupidity" among the three poisons in Buddhism.

He looked at Yuan Tong, "This world is difficult. There are some things that even saints cannot change. Even if the world turns upside down, it is difficult to change one's nature. Therefore, the way of saints cannot last forever."

Yuan Tong scratched his hair and said to Shengshan, "Junior brother Sha, why don't you admit your mistake first? Just fool him, he is a clay Buddha now anyway."

Yuan Tong said this in front of Zhou Tieyi just to give Shengshan a way out.

He thought Zhou Tieyi had not told him the method yet, and was still blaming Shengshan for his mistakes. Shengshan really did what Zhou Tieyi said, he just gritted his teeth and said no more, even after Yuantong persuaded him twice, Shengshan just closed his eyes.

Shengshan closed his eyes, and Zhou Tieyi didn't say anything either, just reading his book, because he had already said what he wanted to say.

Yuan Tong was so angry at the two that he laughed and cursed, "Okay, you two don't say anything and just stay here. I'll see who can outlast the other!"

He pushed the door open and walked out. Seeing the people watching and whispering, he became furious again. However, he had no magical powers now, so he could only make a thunder god face to scare people away. Then he walked out. He just wanted to go out and relax, and come back to see if there was any change.

As he walked out into the forest, he saw a woodcutter chopping wood. The sound of clinking wood was faintly like the sound of thunder.

Yuan Tong's anger subsided at this time. He was suddenly shocked. How did he meet Him? !

Although everything in the world before his eyes was mundane, the other party was an ancient god who was suppressed here by the Heavenly Lord. Yuan Tong did not dare to underestimate him and just wanted to go around him.

The woodcutter stopped chopping wood with his axe and said with a smile, "How come the Monkey King has been out there for two years and has become such a coward?"

Back then, Shinto wove the cause and effect of dreams to entangle Yuan Tong. Lei Shen was one of the masterminds behind the scenes, and he himself was anchored in the "inhuman killing of the emperor". In the end, Yuan Tong did kill the Emperor of Da Xia, so the cause and effect entanglement between the two was so deep that it could not be untied.

Yuan Tong was provoked by this and did not go out anymore. He said sarcastically, "What's there to talk about with a lumberjack?"

Lei Shen laughed and said, "I heard that you brought a monk from outside and wanted to ask for help?"

Yuan Tong shook his head in alarm, "You can't save him."

He knew that if Thor was willing to help, there must be a way to save Shengshan, but he didn't dare to ask for it.

Lei Shen smiled and continued to chop wood with his axe, saying, "I heard some stories from people outside about your journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Back then, he used the Journey to the West and the sentient beings in the Lotus World to confuse the fake with the real. The Emperor of Heaven took the opportunity to make the fake even more real, so that now you can't escape the 'content' of the book at all. The three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance are not easy to cure."

"What do you mean?"

Yuan Tong naturally knew that greed, anger, and ignorance represented their three disciples.

Lei Shen opened the topic, "What does it literally mean? Is it the scriptures that those monks made up?"

“The true sutra has no words, because the three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance have been eliminated.”

"If you don't get rid of the three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance, you will never reach Miaoshan City even if you walk for another three hundred years!"

Thor said with certainty.

He did not lie to Yuantong about this matter, this was exactly the meaning of the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

Yuan Tong rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you know how to detoxify?"

The Thunder God smiled and said, "The three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance are not only in you, but also in all living beings. Shengshan tried to stop him from becoming a Taoist, but he was a Taoist fool. Shengshan never believed that he was right, and he was not completely right. After all, saints and gods are both a mixture of right and wrong. So Shengshan's problem is not whether he is right or not, but what path Shengshan wants to take."

"If Shengshan only sees His way, he will never be able to get out of it in his lifetime."

Thor is indeed worthy of being an ancient god. Even though he has lost his magical powers, he still points out Shengshan’s problem in one sentence.

Yuan Tong thought about it for a while and knew that what Lei Shen said was right, but the more he thought about it, the more worried he became. "Why are you helping us?"

As he spoke, the tree in front of the Thunder God fell down, and the Thunder God said, "To help you is to help me."

Yuan Tong's expression suddenly changed, "He won't let you out!"

Thor shook his head. "You don't understand. At our stage, our destiny has become one with the Great Dao. He cannot completely stop the progress of fate. We have countless possibilities. He cannot suppress us forever."
