Chapter 421 Once Upon a Time
After the Pure World White Lotus became Lu Fengqiu's talisman, this white lotus karmic fire would naturally allow him to do whatever he wanted.

At this time, Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, Drifting Monk, and Bull Demon King could only hear their voices in the hall.

Tang Seng looked anxious, raised his hand and said, "Brother of the Armed Ape, please be merciful."

Zhu Bajie said: "Brothered ape, you can't do this. Anyway, you and Brother Hou are both monkeys. If you master him well, you will really make a big mistake."

The Drifting Monk muttered, "Brother..."

Bull Demon King said: "Brother, hold on!"

Sun Wukong shouted righteously in the golden cymbal: "The arm-armed ape, if you have any skills, just use it on my old grandson!"

Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly, raised his hand, and said, "Don't worry, I'll send you in right away to make you feel comfortable."

As soon as the voice fell, I saw the golden cymbal flying directly into the cauldron.

A white flame slowly rises.

The golden nails were burned extremely hot.

At first, Sun Wukong didn't care.

He laughed loudly in the golden cymbal: "The gossip alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun back then couldn't do anything to my old grandson, the arm-armed ape, do you think you can compare with Taishang Laojun?"

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said: "The old gentleman didn't refine you because you are a natural stone monkey with great luck and destined to be robbed, so the old gentleman followed the way of heaven and gave you a favor."

"If you really think that Laojun can't destroy you, then you are too naive."

"You can't escape with a vajra bracelet, do you think you're really copper-headed and iron-brained?"

Monkey King in Jin Naoli stopped talking because he felt a biting cold appear.

Not long after, the biting cold seemed to have completely eroded Sun Wukong's body.

Sun Wukong kept trembling.

"so cold!"

Sun Wukong couldn't help shouting.

Zhu Bajie heard the voice, and said from the side: "It's terrible, it's terrible, Brother Hou was burned stupidly, such a big fire must be scalding to death, how could it be cold?"

Drifting said: "Second Senior Brother, hurry up and think of a way, if this goes on, Brother Monkey will be burnt to blood."

Zhu Bajie looked at Tang Seng beside him, and said, "Master, that arm-armed ape has been kind to you, please hurry up and ask him for a favor, or Brother Hou will really be turned into blood."

Hearing this, Tang Seng also had a worried expression on his face. He walked towards Lu Fengqiu, clasped his hands together and said to Lu Fengqiu, "Bong-armed ape benefactor, why are you embarrassing Wukong so much?"

"He has no grievances or enmities with you, it is because this is a doomed fate on the way to learn the scriptures, and it shouldn't be like this."

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "Sanzang, do you know the origin of Monkey King?"

Tang Seng clasped his hands together and said, "Few people in the Three Realms don't know about Wukong's origin, so the poor monk naturally knows about it."

Lu Fengqiu said: "Then tell me about it."

Tang Seng said: "Wukong was born in Huaguo Mountain in Aolai Country, Dongsheng Shenzhou, and he was conceived by the fairy stone since the beginning of the world."

Lu Fengqiu nodded slightly, and said: "The fairy stone is located on the ancestral veins of the ten continents and three islands. Its height is measured by 24 qi, and its upper orifice corresponds to the nine palaces and eight trigrams."

"This is a natural stone fetus."

"This stone fetus has great luck. From birth, it is destined to be famous in the Three Realms."

"This is his fate."

"However, if he had another choice, do you think he would be willing to embark on the path of learning from the past?"

Hearing this, Tang Seng frowned and said, "What does the benefactor mean?"

Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly, and said: "I'm used to seeing the three worlds being the same, and I'm used to seeing the heavens and the worlds being the same."

"Why do monkeys have to learn the Western Classic?"

"Why does the monkey have to become the Buddha of Buddhism?"

"Sun Wukong shouldn't be like this. In the past, he had no choice. Now, I will give him a choice."

"As long as he is willing, when he walks out of this cauldron, he will be the unparalleled God of War in the three realms."

Tang Seng only felt an ominous premonition rising in his heart, and he said, "Bibboned Ape Donor, what do you want to do!"

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said: "I don't want to do anything, I just want to remove all the shackles that shouldn't be there."

Tang Seng clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, the benefactor of the arm-armed ape, if you do this, you will not only harm Wukong, but you will also harm yourself."

Lu Fengqiu said: "Whether it is a fairy, a Buddha, a human, or a demon, you should have the final say, shouldn't you?"

"Tripitaka."

Listening to Lu Fengqiu's words, Tang Seng felt his heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said: "Sanzang, do you know that there are five immortals in Zhou Tian, ​​they are heaven, earth, gods, men and ghosts; there are five insects, they are dragons with scales and feathers."

"There are four more monkeys in the world, who do not belong to the ten categories."

Hearing this, Tang Seng held his hands and said, "Please benefactor for advice."

Lu Fengqiu said: "The first is the spirit stone monkey, which can change, know the time of the sky, know the location, and move the stars to change the battle."

"The second is the red-legged horse monkey, who understands Yin and Yang, understands people and affairs, is good at going in and out, avoids death and prolongs life."

"The third is my arm-armed ape, holding the sun and the moon, shrinking thousands of mountains, distinguishing between good and bad, and messing with heaven and earth."

"The fourth is the six-eared macaque, good at listening, able to understand, knowing before and after, and all things are clear."

"The four monkeys don't belong to the ten categories, and don't deserve the name of the two."

Hearing this, Tang Seng wondered, "Could it be that Wukong is this spirit stone monkey?"

Lu Fengqiu shook his head slightly, and said: "Sun Wukong is not a spiritual stone monkey, he is just a natural stone monkey."

"He is a creature within the Six Paths, not a creature outside the Six Paths."

"I, the arm-armed ape, was originally a creature outside of the six realms. I have no name in the yin and yang realms, and I can't find my name in the book of life and death. But once I entered the Buddhist gate, it was as deep as the sea, and entering the Buddhist gate was equivalent to entering the yin and yang realms. "

"In the book of life and death, there is my name."

"I seek the Tao with all my heart, but in my life, I have been calculated to death."

"I am a creature outside of the six realms. In terms of the desire to seek the Tao, there are not many people in this world who can match me."

"However, I practiced hard for thousands of years, devoted myself to good deeds, did good deeds, and did good deeds. In the end, I only became a half-immortal and half-Buddha, and I was disciplined to death."

"If you want me to enter reincarnation, I will enter reincarnation."

"If you want me to promote Buddhism, I have to promote Buddhism."

"I just want to ask, why!"

Tang Seng said: "Bong-armed ape benefactor, what do you want to do, do you want to go to the Heavenly Palace like Wukong did 500 years ago?"

Lu Fengqiu smiled, shook his head and said, "Of course not, it's so boring."

"What I want to do is to change those unnecessary constraints."

"Sanzang, not only Wukong, but also you should understand this truth."

"And you, Zhu Bajie, and you, Sha Wujing."

"Which one of you is not oppressed by others, and which one is not arranged by others."

"Except for Sanzang, who is sincerely learning the scriptures, among your disciples, who is sincerely learning the scriptures?"

"Zhu Bajie? Have you forgotten the thousands of loves you have experienced?"

"Or have you forgotten how you went from marshal of the canopy to a pig?"

"Sha Wujing? You just accidentally broke the glazed cup, and you were convicted of violating the rules of heaven and expelled from the heaven."

"Have you ever forgotten the pain you suffered in the Liusha River when thousands of arrows pierced your heart?"

Zhu Bajie lowered his head, looking uncomfortable.

Drifting also lowered his head, his expression silent.

Hearing this, Tang Monk clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha..."

"The arm-armed ape benefactor, even without these apprentices, the poor monk would go to Leiyin Temple to obtain Mahayana scriptures by himself."

Zhu Bajie and Drifting heard the words, they couldn't bear it, and said: "Master, we..."

Tang Seng heard the words and said: "You don't need to talk too much, you understand it as a teacher."

"My teacher once taught you to learn to let go."

"Bajie, do you still remember why my teacher named you Bajie?"

Zhu Bajie bowed his head and said: "Master told me to abstain from killing first, stealing second, adultery third, lying fourth, drinking alcohol fifth, wearing fragrant flowers sixth, sitting on a high and spacious bed seventh, and eating untimely food eighth."

Tang Seng nodded with a smile, and said: "It's good that you can remember it. Although the road of learning the scriptures has gone through hardships, it is also a tempering."

"Sharpen your Buddha heart, sharpen your Buddha nature."

Zhu Bajie said: "Understood...Master."

But Lu Fengqiu said with a smile: "What is Buddha's heart, what is Buddha's nature?"

"I don't think this kind of Buddha nature, this kind of Buddha heart can be tempered."

"This is a kind of submission, this is a helpless compromise."

"Zhu Bajie, do you remember Chang'e?"

Zhu Bajie pursed his lips and said, "So what if I remember? What do you want?"

Lu Fengqiu said: "If I say that I can let you meet Chang'e, let you express your heartfelt wishes, and let you get what you want, would you like to go to see Chang'e with me?"

When Zhu Bajie heard the words, his face suddenly lit up with joy, and he said, "Really? Can you really let me see Chang'e sister?"

"Can I get what I want, and live together with Chang'e sister?"

Lu Fengqiu nodded and said: "Of course, my favorite thing to do is the beauty of adults."

A hint of doubt appeared on Zhu Bajie's face again, and he said, "Although your mana is high, you have no reason to help me, old pig."

"Gibbon monkey, what are you planning?"

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "You may not believe me now, but I believe you will soon."

Zhu Bajie looked at Lu Fengqiu suspiciously.

Lu Fengqiu looked at the Bull Demon King again, and said, "The Bull Demon King..."

The Bull Demon King quickly waved his hands and said, "I'm doing well. I'm very satisfied with the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Realm. Don't look for me."

Seeing this, Lu Fengqiu couldn't help laughing.

He set his sights on Drifting again, and Drifting hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I was punished to the Liusha River because I made a mistake, and I accepted the punishment without any reluctance. Don't try to confuse me." .”

Lu Fengqiu nodded, but he looked at Drifting Monk with admiration.

Don't look at the iron-faced appearance of this Drifting Monk, but judging from his words and deeds, he is really not an iron-faced person.

At this moment, Lu Fengqiu looked at the Wan Yao Queen beside him, and said, "This journey is too boring, how about we play a game?"

The Wan Yao Queen said: "As long as it is what the general wants to do, I will support the general."

Lu Fengqiu nodded, looked out of the hall, and said, "In less than half a day, the heavenly soldiers and generals from the heavenly court will arrive here."

"At that time, there will be a good show."

Wan Yao Queen was a little worried, she looked at Lu Fengqiu and said, "General, are you really alright?"

"Do you want me to send some demon soldiers from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom?"

Lu Fengqiu smiled and shook his head, "It's okay."

At this time, Drifting could only be heard shouting from the side: "Master, Second Senior Brother, Senior Senior Brother's voice is gone."

"Eldest brother is dead!"

The Bull Demon King patted Monk Drifting on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, Lao Sha, Wukong is the indestructible body of Vajra, at most he will suffer a little, and he won't die so easily."

Tang Seng looked at Lu Fengqiu, and said: "The arm-armed ape benefactor, what do you want the poor monk to do, so you agreed to release Wukong."

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "Sanzang, I don't need you to do anything for me, you just need to wait quietly."

"Don't worry, if you study the scriptures wholeheartedly, no one can stop you."

"I won't stop you either."

At this time, Lu Fengqiu waved his sleeves again, and the fire of the white lotus industry in the cauldron burned even more vigorously.

That golden cymbal is really a treasure, ordinary water and fire can't do any harm to that golden cymbal at all, but fortunately this white lotus karmic fire is different from ordinary flames.

This is the fire of karma that can completely incinerate a person's soul and primordial spirit.

This is one of his attempts.

He wanted to see whether the doom lay with man or the sky.

He really wanted to see if Sun Wukong, who didn't wear a golden hoop, would choose to convert to Buddhism after all because of his soaring combat power.

No one likes to be chained, and no one likes to be oppressed.

Although the Monkey King in this world is weaker, it is not impossible to reform.

Laojun can give monkeys water to make them sharp eyes, and he can also put water to monkeys to make them more capable.

……

Heaven, Lingxiao Palace.

The Jade Emperor sat on the throne, and all the important officials in the hall were in it.

Look at your nose with your eyes and your heart with your nose.

At this time, I saw Taibai Jinxing hurried in from outside the hall.

He said to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, something is wrong."

The Jade Emperor frowned and said, "Taibai Jinxing, why are you so flustered?"

"I went to see Maitreya Buddha, what can I gain?"

Taibai Jinxing said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I just learned from Maitreya Buddha that the arm-armed ape has betrayed the Buddhist realm and is no longer a disciple of the Buddhist realm!"

When the Jade Emperor heard the words, he immediately said: "Oh? It seems that this arm-armed ape is really going to be with the demon!"

at this time.

A long howl sounded in the Lingxiao Palace, and the Lingxiao Palace was also shaken.

"Oh~~~"

The officials were alarmed, and the Jade Emperor said loudly, "What's going on?"

Taibai Jinxing said: "Your Majesty, this movement is so loud that it seems like we've met each other before. Could it be that someone has practiced the spell of weeping ghosts and gods?"

The Jade Emperor raised his hand and said, "Come here, hurry up and find out why!"

……

Nether.

On a large tripod, Sun Wukong is holding a golden cudgel, with blazing flames rising from his eyes, and the golden hoop on his head has disappeared.

Sun Wukong looked at Lu Fengqiu, and said with a complicated expression: "The arm-armed ape, you helped me remove the golden band on my head, and also helped me increase my mana, and cultivate a new supernatural power."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Lu Fengqiu smiled, looked at Sun Wukong in front of him, and said, "Sun Wukong, now that you are free to travel in the Three Realms, do you still want to go west to learn Buddhist scriptures?"
