The demon saint of the demon race!
Monkey King and Bajie had never seen Bai Ze before, but now they know Bai Ze’s identity, the Demon Saint of the Demon Clan!
Having not seen Bai Ze doesn't mean they don't know about the Demon Saints. They are not the ones who just jumped out of cracks in the rocks, especially Bajie. As the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Navy, he is well-informed. There are only five Demon Saints in the Demon Clan, and the one named Bai Ze seems to be the current leader of the Demon Clan. Even the Jade Emperor is extremely afraid of him.
Now I am serving this mediocre Demon Ancestor!
Bajie looked at the monkey, and thought of what the monkey had just said. He couldn't help but worry for the monkey. Brother Monkey, it seems that the opponent you chose this time is a little too big.
"Bai Ze, our Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva likes sheep, you can play with him."
sheep!
Bai Ze felt offended, but he didn't dare to show any displeasure to Jiuyou. He could only look at Ksitigarbha with resentment. Although Bai Ze was a rare spiritual beast, not to mention killing and committing sins, it was rare for him to get angry. However, such a huge family business in Northern Juluzhou was gone just like that. The demon saint who was at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm had now become a wage earner. He felt so uncomfortable in his heart and had wanted to vent for a long time.
Now that Ksitigarbha is in front of him, it would be a waste not to beat him. If he can't beat Jiuyou, how can he be bullied by Ksitigarbha?
Without hesitation, he disappeared in a flash, and the next moment he was already attacking Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not dare to be careless. Bai Ze was also at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm and was proficient in formations. Moreover, he had turned evil now and his strength was increasing rapidly. He was not sure he could take him down.
Although Di Ting is also a strange beast, his bloodline is not as good as Bai Ze's, and the strength is even more different. At this time, he is also being suppressed and can only follow Ksitigarbha to help .
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had Bai Ze to deal with him, while Jiuyou turned his attention to the monkey.
It seems that the monkey has not suffered much here. After all, his eyes are still bright and his back is still straight, which fits the saying that he will be a hero again after eighteen years.
"Great Sage, I have long admired you."
Not to mention, the feeling of meeting a real monkey is really different from the first time I saw the Six-Eared Macaque. Not to mention anything else, just the spirit and energy are so different. The Six-Eared Macaque is also a poor kid. He was born quite early, but because of a sentence: The Dharma will not be passed on to the Six-Eared Macaque.
Until they were used by Buddhism, they were still immortals. They were much inferior to the monkeys that were born later. Not only compared to the monkeys, but also much inferior to the Long-armed Ape and the Red-butted Horse Monkey. As four mischievous monkeys, their treatment was really different. They were also smoothed out by life. Otherwise, with their tempers, how could they succumb to Buddhism.
It was just right that he met Wutan, his mentor. Otherwise, Liu'er Mihou would always be Liu'er Mihou and his strength would not have reached the level it is today. Although he has entered the path of evil, it is still much better than his previous life of being neither dead nor alive.
When their eyes met, the monkey felt it was even more ridiculous.
You are the ancestor of demons, why are you bowing like a scholar? He has been in the human world before, and he has heard of words like "respecting the wise and humble" etc. You can't be here to recruit him.
"What do you mean? You are a devil, what can you say to me?"
Not to mention, Jiuyou's actions were enough to scare even the fearless monkey. According to our monkey's temper, we would just hit you directly, but your polite appearance made the monkey unable to handle it. The monkey claims to be a polite monkey, and he knows the saying of not hitting a smiling person.
What's more, I'm not sure now.
Looking at the monkey's appearance, Jiuyou didn't care.
"Sun Dasheng , you also think I am a demon? Why do you say that? Just because I occupied Lingshan Mountain and practiced the magic way, I am a demon? I thought Sun Dasheng was different from those Buddhists, but I didn't expect him to be like this."
Facing Jiuyou's sad look, Monkey couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He was just like those people in Buddhism. Isn't this just insulting them? Who are those bald donkeys? The one who was named Fighting Buddha was that fake. He has never been a Buddhist. However, Jiuyou's words really confused him.
Why is Jiuyou considered a demon? Of course, it was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who told us.
As for whether he practiced the devil's way, Monkey was hesitant. He had seen many people practicing the devil's way. Weren't those brothers at the beginning all denounced as devils and hunted down? Even he had been accused of being a devil before, but his group of brothers were not necessarily evil. As for the group in Lingshan, they were killed.
To be honest, the monkey really didn't care. Instead, he felt somewhat refreshed. After all, it was these guys who said one thing in front of him and another behind his back who made him look like this now. They were even more ruthless and locked him up here. What about Buddhism? The monkey did have some admiration for Tang Monk. He didn't know when it started. Maybe it was because of that tiger robe.
But the monkey knew that Tang Seng was different from Bodhi after all.
Bodhi is a mentor who teaches skills, but Tang Seng is different. Tang Seng is more like a leader, a leader who can recite the spell to tighten the hoop. He will recite the spell if you don’t obey. No matter how good the relationship is, it will fade after being recited like this. What’s more, there was the incident with the Six-Eared Macaque later. If the monkey was asked to fight Jiuyou in the name of revenge for his master, the monkey really couldn’t say it.
Looking at the monkey's silent face, Jiuyou was actually somewhat satisfied.
"I am an open-minded person. What demon? It is just a title imposed on me by Buddhism. According to Tathagata, I am actually Tathagata's evil thoughts. Buddhism emphasizes the purity of the six senses, and there must not be greed, anger, and ignorance. In order to become what they call Buddha, they have to discard all these things. But even if they are Buddhas, how can they absolutely not have these three thoughts and these six senses?
So they created a method to get all of these out of their bodies. Well, Tathagata did the same thing, and then I came into being. Great Sage, are you willing to listen to my story? "
After hearing Jiuyou's words, the monkey nodded subconsciously.
At this time, Bajie was thinking that the reason why he could not become a Buddha was because of this. If the six senses were pure and the three thoughts of greed, anger and ignorance were cut off, how could it be possible? Even the gods were obsessed with incense, so Buddhism seemed more like a demonic path.
Jiuyou saw the monkey nod, and without saying much, he directly told the story of Kinnara to the monkey and Bajie again.
"Great Sage and Bajie, do you still think that I am a demon? If I were you, what would you do?"
Hearing that Axiu died to save Kinnara, and Kinnara wanted to revive Axiu, but was denounced by Buddhism as having six impure roots and was expelled from Buddhism, Kinnara never gave up and fell directly into the devil's way in order to revive Axiu with the power to revive Axiu, the monkey couldn't help but shout "Great", what would they do in their place?
The monkey doesn't even have to hesitate, he will definitely do the same as Kinnara.
"The devil is good at deceiving people. How do I know that you are not making it up?"
The monkey was not so easily fooled. Although the story was very exciting, this part had been sealed by Buddhism and had never been circulated. The monkey had naturally never heard of it, so how could he believe it?
Although it is easy to kill the monkey, Jiuyou is interested in this today. He wants to try to capture the monkey and let those Buddhists know that Buddhism and the devil are actually the same in essence. When Tathagata and others made their plans, the last bit of Buddhism's luck had already fallen on the monkey. As long as the monkey's Buddhist heart is shattered and Buddhism is denounced as the devil, then the luck of Buddhism will be completely shattered.
By then, Buddhism will really be powerless to save the situation.
Jiuyou was not in a hurry when facing the monkey's question, and looked directly at Ksitigarbha.
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, monks do not tell lies. Please answer me and tell me whether what I said is true or false."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was completely furious at this time. He naturally knew Jiuyou's plan. This was to completely drive Buddhism into the abyss. He didn't care about the friendship of Buddhism in the past at all. Where were his good intentions? Didn't Tathagata say that he had a backup plan?
What a vicious thief.
Monks do not tell lies; this is the precept. If Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva lied at this moment, his Buddha heart would be broken immediately. He was originally evenly matched with Bai Ze, and if his Buddha heart was broken, he would surely die. More importantly, if his Buddha heart was broken, his golden body relic might not be able to be preserved under the watchful eyes of Jiuyou. Even if he was reincarnated again, he would probably be doomed to eternal damnation.
What does Jiuyou mean by this? Isn't this forcing him to make a choice? If I don't go to hell, who will?
He entered hell for the sake of Taoism, and it was also because of entering hell that he was able to stay one step ahead of Maitreya Medicine Master and have his current cultivation. For Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, that kind of hell is actually the Western Paradise, but today's hell is really hell. Should he sacrifice himself to protect Buddhism, or ignore Buddhism and never break the precepts? This is the choice Jiuyou gave him.
Buddha also has selfish desires. Inside the Great Leiyin Temple, there are many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats from various factions and countless disputes. Although the quarrels are not as fierce as those in the court, there are still many swordfights in secret for the sake of incense, inheritance, and resources. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is naturally no exception, but his realm is only at the high end, so he can only play high-end games.
Now, Jiuyou directly brought Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva into the peak competition.
Facing the monkey's gaze, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was silent for the first time. If I don't go to hell, who will? It's easy to say, but who can really do it? Not everyone is as stupid as the monkey.
Looking at the expression of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, there was actually no need to answer, the monkey already understood a little.
"If I don't go to hell, who will? Haha."
As soon as Jiuyou uttered a word, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's defense was instantly broken, and the Buddhist sect became even more unstable.
"Jiuyou, you are going too far!"
Shaked his head.
In just one sentence, the state of mind of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was broken. Buddhism places great emphasis on the state of mind. If the state of mind is unstable, the strength will naturally be affected. The originally fifty-fifty situation immediately became Bai Ze's advantage. Bai Ze couldn't help but reveal a trace of pity when looking at the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in front of him. Buddhism is really in trouble this time. This Demon Ancestor is really different.
Ignoring the battle between Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Bai Ze, Jiuyou continued to look at the monkey.
"Great Sage, can you give me an answer now? Do you think I am a demon? Or are those Buddhists who not only want to be free of emotions and desires, but also want to channel those distracting thoughts and evil thoughts into the three realms, creating countless demons, and forcing everyone to purify their six senses the demons?"
At this time, the Great Sage was completely caught up in the struggle and decision.
Boom!
The three thousand chains shook and began to break into pieces.
"Brother Monkey!"
Bajie couldn't help but feel a little worried, while Jiuyou shook his head, "Don't worry, the Great Sage will be fine. After taking this step, he will naturally be able to take another step. If he can't take another step, it only means that his achievements are limited to this."
Bajie didn’t understand what Jiuyou meant, but he knew what it meant to go one step further.
At this moment, the monkey was indeed caught in an inner struggle.
The good fortune of Buddhism falls on the monkey, which is both a good thing and a constraint for the monkey.
The good thing is that when the monkey is practicing, it can help the monkey practice faster, and it can also help the monkey turn misfortune into good fortune, and turn disaster into blessing, and it is easier for the monkey to complete the layout of Buddhism. The constraint is that the luck of Buddhism is infused with the thoughts of Buddhism's great way, and these thoughts of the great way are affecting the monkey all the time.
This is also a method often used in Buddhist temples. In fact, it is just an advanced form of brainwashing.
What Jiuyou said to the monkey now has shaken the Taoist thoughts that Buddhism has instilled in the monkey. Naturally, the monkey needs to be restrained and struggled to get back on the right track. Why is Tathagata confident enough to arrange the overall situation with the monkey as the core? Why does he think that the monkey abandoned and imprisoned by Buddhism will continue to work for Buddhism?
No, what Tathagata believed in was not the monkey, but the Buddhist methods.
Just like the Five Finger Mountain in the past, what was pressing down the monkey was never the Five Finger Mountain itself, but the verses posted on the Mountain, just like the fortune of Buddhism today and its long-lasting influence on the monkey.
Was Jiuyou just speaking in a mere rhetoric just now?
No, mere words cannot shake the fortune of Buddhism. While the monkey was speaking, and his will was wavering, the evil thoughts and the fortune of the devil had already quietly begun to infiltrate the monkey's soul. It looked like an ordinary chat, but in fact, this was the battle between the devil and Buddhism, and it was also Jiuyou's final blow to Buddhism.
Buddhism is good at confusing the mind, and the devil is also good at confusing the mind.
It just depends on who has more sophisticated means. If it were Wutan, he would definitely not be able to do this, but who asked Jiuyou to come?
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked at the monkey's condition and felt the movement of Buddhism's energy, and his face became even more anxious.
He was about to say something, but just as he opened his mouth, he saw Jiuyou swung his sleeves, and another figure rushed towards Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
"The Peacock King!"
When Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saw the person coming, he was even more shocked. The Peacock King, who was at the peak of the Golden Immortal level, was finished and could not be defeated at all.
After the Peacock King landed, he didn't say anything and immediately released five-colored divine light, which swept Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Di Ting and Bai Ze directly into the five elements world in his stomach.
Under the suppression of supernatural powers, the strength of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was suppressed by 30%, and he was no match for Bai Ze at all.
Jiuyou didn't even glance at him. Even though Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was stronger, the key at this moment was not him at all. The monkey was the key. It should be a fair fight on the court. Don't blindly let off-court factors influence it.
At this moment, all the past events kept emerging in the monkey's mind.
Most of them are the teachings of Buddhism to the monkey. The annoying things that Tang Seng imposed on the monkey were the things and principles that the monkey once hated the most. However, after being repeated by Tang Seng so many times, it actually formed a habit. Some of them were actually accepted by the monkey. This was originally a very abnormal situation. The monkey did not know the word pyramid scheme, otherwise, he would know the reason behind it.
Gradually, the things that the monkey had originally longed for, in their original form, slowly appeared and fought against the ideas instilled by Buddhism.
Only then did the monkey realize that what he needed to defeat was not himself, but the things instilled in him by Buddhism. It turned out that these things were the key to restraining his strength growth.
The aptitude of the Four Chaos Monkeys is so high that it is said that they are the result of splitting the Chaos Demon God into four parts. Moreover, they are not ordinary Chaos Demon Gods. Such aptitude is not worse than that of the Ancestral Dragon.
It is actually not difficult to cultivate to the peak of the Golden Immortal. If the monkey had not been plotted against by the Buddhist sect, his cultivation might have been much slower, but it would not have been a problem for him to successfully break through the peak of the Golden Immortal. However, he was forced to grow by the Buddhist sect all the way, and if he had not suffered here for so many years, he would have been ruined.
If it weren't for Jiuyou's intervention now, Monkey would surely fall deeper and deeper until he was bound by the fate of Buddhism and truly became the protagonist of the saying "If I don't go to hell, no one will."
But with Jiuyou's arrival, everything changed.
The monkey finally had a chance to examine himself.
There is no need to doubt the monkey's qualifications. This world is a integration of many worlds such as The Lotus Lantern and The Sequel to Journey to the West. At this time, the monkey is the absolute protagonist. Even Yang Jian cannot compare to him. In fact, what the monkey has always needed is just an opportunity, and now this opportunity has finally arrived.
The cage formed by the Buddhist fortune was shattered layer by layer by the monkey.
I don’t know how long it took, but all three thousand chains broke into pieces. Not only the three thousand chains on the surface, but also the three thousand chains in the monkey’s heart. At this moment, the monkey was the most powerful and real one.
Slowly opening his eyes, a pair of golden eyes were like a beam of light in the darkness, illuminating the world.
The evil energy that shrouded the Yinshan Mountain dissipated directly, and the barrier also disappeared. The monkey slowly looked towards Jiuyou. His aura had stabilized. He had achieved the peak of the Golden Immortal.
The monkey already understood Jiuyou's actions, but he felt even more complicated.
The Buddha said he wanted to save him, but he had been using him all along. The Buddha told him that the devil should be killed, but it was the devil who helped him escape from the cage. At this moment, the monkey no longer had any thoughts of Buddha or devil in his heart, only his own thoughts.
"Thank you!"
Jiuyou couldn't help but smile when he heard the monkey's voice. "No need to thank me. Buddhism has poured its last luck into the Great Sage. I believe that Buddhism's means, plus the luck restraint, can allow the Great Sage to continue to serve Buddhism until he sacrifices himself and dies. If I want to completely exterminate Buddhism, I have to destroy this last luck. It can also be said that I am using the Great Sage. I am using the Great Sage to exterminate the last luck of Buddhism."
Open and aboveboard!
The monkey now found Jiuyou more and more pleasing to the eye. He had seen too much hypocrisy in Buddhism. On the contrary, this so-called devil was more upright than all the Buddhist disciples.
"I will never be inferior to anyone again. So even though I owe you a big favor today, I will never work for you. But I promise that even if you do something that violates my bottom line in the future, I will let you off once."
Jiuyou shook his head when he heard that. Just when the monkey thought that Jiuyou was going to force him, Jiuyou spoke slowly.
"You don't need to let me. If I really want to kill you, this is the place where you will be buried. The place where you will be buried is Huaguo Mountain. Liu'er Macaque will never go back. Your monkeys and grandchildren are also well taken care of by him. You don't need to care about favors. Liu'er Macaque is just like you, being tilted by fate. If you really care about favors, you should settle the cause and effect with Liu'er Macaque."
The monkey's eyes became even more complicated when he heard that. Looking at Jiuyou's arrogant attitude, the monkey was really eager to try. However, even though he had now broken through the peak of the Golden Immortal, the monkey actually discovered that until now, he still could not see through Jiuyou's depth and could not see through Jiuyou's true background. It was as deep as the ocean. Even if he did not want to admit it, the monkey knew that he might really not be Jiuyou's opponent.
Although Jiuyou is arrogant, he does have reasons for his arrogance.
As for Liu'er Macaque, the monkey did intend to kill this impostor as soon as he got out, but after hearing Jiuyou's words, he nodded silently.
"A favor is a favor. I should actually be grateful to that fake guy. The cause and effect are settled now. I will not bother him again. I still owe you a favor. If you need to repay it, feel free to contact me."
After saying that, the monkey didn’t wait and directly pulled Bajie away.
The monkey always felt uncomfortable staying with Jiuyou. Jiuyou watched the two of them leave, and his eyes were focused on the Peacock King. At this time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had been almost dealt with, but Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was not an ordinary person after all, and he was still persisting.
Jiuyou's mind moved, and a black lotus appeared in the Five Elements Heaven and Earth and suddenly pressed towards Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Seeing this scene, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s face changed completely.
He did not dare to hesitate for even a second and passed away on the spot, leaving behind only a golden body. He wanted to break through the Five Elements World, but it was impossible to do so no matter what.
In the end, he was swallowed by the black lotus.
Ten Thousand Yin Mountains.
This is the underworld, a place as famous as the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Countless evil ghosts are kept here. They have been influenced by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva with Buddhist teachings. There are more than a million left, but now they are under the demonic power of Jiuyou. They dare not make any movement, for fear that they might accidentally anger Jiuyou and be killed directly.
Unfortunately, Jiuyou had no intention of letting them go.
There are so many evil spirits, these are all energy beads, and there are some powerful guys among them, even quite a few Xuanxian.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is not only dedicated to expelling their evil thoughts. Among these evil ghosts, if there are any that can be cultivated, they will be marked by Buddhism. After reincarnation, they will enter Buddhism and add vitality to Buddhism. They will put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas on the spot. This is what it means. It is ridiculous that while evil ghosts can become Buddhas, ordinary people will have to sink. Jiuyou is deeply touched by the thought of Buddha and devil.
As the black lotus pressed down, countless evil spirits began to wail immediately, but they were unable to stop themselves from being devoured by the black lotus. Eventually, they all turned into black air and entered the black lotus.
Jin'ao Island, Yin-Yang Palace.
Jiale had already refined the sun's core again. Looking at the energy beads in the Kunlun Mirror that looked like stars, he couldn't help but laugh.
This vest is well made.
