Chapter 58 This Monkey is Too Inhuman
heaven.
"Report that Venerable Guanyin wants to see you." A heavenly soldier knelt down in the hall.
The Jade Emperor smiled and waved his hand: "Bring him in."
Then he turned around and said, "Taibai, I am not feeling well, you go and pick him up."
"Old minister, I obey."
Soon, Guanyin walked slowly into the hall holding a jade bottle.
Seeing that the platform was empty, he paused.
Taibai Jinxing flicked his whisk and said with a smile, "I wonder why you came here, Your Excellency?"
"I would like to see the Jade Emperor. I hope the Golden Immortal will inform me."
"The Jade Emperor is not feeling well, and has issued an order that no one is allowed to disturb him. If you have anything to say, please tell me. If I cannot do it, I will report it to the Jade Emperor later."
Jade Emperor, Lord of Heaven, a quasi-saint.
Are you feeling unwell?
Guanyin pondered for a moment, clasped her hands together and said, "Golden Immortal, I am here on the orders of the Buddha. A few days ago, the Heavenly Court sent soldiers to wipe out the monsters in the Flower-Fruit Mountain. The Heavenly Court still needs an explanation for this matter."
The heavenly soldiers wiped out the monsters in Huaguo Mountain.
It caused some disturbance to the Journey to the West.
The Heavenly Court will naturally have to give an explanation.
If the Heavenly Court makes trouble every day, the small forces of Journey to the West will accumulate and the overall situation will definitely change.
The spread of Buddhism to the East has come to an end.
All the powerful people in this world have already made calculations.
At this point, the monkeys should have raised the flag of rebellion.
But now I can’t even send out a stick.
The small trend of Journey to the West has been changed again and again.
Now, the Heavenly Court has sent soldiers to wipe out the monsters in the Flower-Fruit Mountain.
It was even more of a blatant disruption to the spread of Buddhism to the East.
Taibai flicked his whisk and laughed, "Your Excellency, the Jade Emperor is also in trouble about this matter.
The monkey went to heaven to complain, showing his loyalty to the Heavenly Court. If the Jade Emperor ignored it, how could he be the master of the three realms?
If you ask me, the one to blame for this is Sun Wukong."
Speaking of Master Sun, Taibai Jinxing paused deliberately and said, "Master Sun is the monkey, and everyone in the underworld calls him Master Sun.
Your Excellency may not know, then Sun..."
"Amitabha."
Seeing that he was talking nonsense and trying to fool him, Guanyin interrupted him with a Buddhist chant, "Golden Immortal, the fate of the Journey to the West is a foregone conclusion. If you change it without authorization, I'm afraid it will not bring you good results..."
The two talked for a while.
What Guanyin meant was that the Heavenly Court should no longer interfere with the spread of Buddhism to the East, as the Buddha was watching.
Taibai Jinxing seemed not to understand and talked nonsense.
Finally, he promised to tell the Jade Emperor what he said.
The two sides finally parted on bad terms.
……
Daleiyin Temple.
The Tathagata sits upright on a lotus platform with a majestic appearance.
Wisps of white mist lingered in the air.
Guanyin walked into the main hall holding the jade bottle, clasped her hands and said, "Buddha, the affairs of the heavenly court have been completed. I will return the decree to you."
"good."
Tathagata nodded slightly: "How is the pilgrim?"
"Reporting to the Buddha, he has entered the fourth reincarnation." "Well, where is the monkey?"
Guanyin held the jade bottle in her left hand and made rapid hand gestures with her right hand.
After a moment, he said, "Still in Huaguo Mountain."
Manjusri suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Your Excellency, didn't he go to heaven?"
A hint of helplessness appeared in Guanyin's eyes, and she quickly recounted the story of the monkey going to heaven to file a complaint.
All the Bodhisattvas and Arhats in the hall were surprised.
Guarding the door, two Arhats with low cultivation levels were whispering.
"Isn't that monkey really inhuman?"
"Yes, people recommended him to fight in heaven and snatched the throne of the Jade Emperor for him, but he stabbed his brother in the back."
"It's not a good bird."
"That's not right. Don't humans and demons like to be trustworthy?"
"He just isn't a human being."
Manjusri folded his hands and said, "Buddha, I think that monkey is dull, lazy and timid. It would be better to replace him with someone who can exorcise demons."
"No."
Sun Wukong was entrusted with the great merit of repairing the sky.
Only he can eliminate the impending catastrophe.
Anyone else who dares to resist the disaster will surely die.
Manjusri did not know the reason behind this.
Even for Ksitigarbha, Tathagata only told him to inspire compassion in the monkey.
Let them bear the resentment caused by the disorder of the Book of Life and Death.
The catastrophe in Journey to the West is of great importance. How could ordinary Arhats and Bodhisattvas know that the powerful beings from all sides are engaged in various games surrounding this catastrophe?
If you are not careful, you may fall into the cycle of reincarnation.
All they knew was that Buddhism spread eastward and flourished.
"Venerable, you need to use some more means." Tathagata said.
Guanyin bowed eleven times: "Good, my Buddha is merciful."
……
South China Sea, Mount Putuo.
There was no one in the cave except Guanyin.
He sat on the lotus pedestal.
His eyes showed sorrow.
It is not easy to use other means to make the monkey walk on the right path.
That monkey is stupid, dumb and lazy.
All he does every day is drink, eat meat and walk the dog.
Even if you give him a treasure like the Ruyi Jingu Bang, he wouldn't dare to accept it because he is too timid.
The monsters in the Flower-Fruit Mountain helped him ascend to the throne.
However, he stabbed his brother in the back and complained to God.
They are a group of disloyal demons who behave like complete villains.
This kind of person is so difficult to handle.
