"Master, why is there no mountain god or land god to welcome us here?"
"The Great Xia Emperor was in conflict. Not long ago, the Heavenly King of the Southern Continent, Zhiguo, fell, and the Heavenly Court did not take over the Great Xia territory..."
In Wuxing Mountain, a monkey sleeping in a cave suddenly sensed a familiar sound, quickly ran to the small cave entrance, and stuck its head and one arm out.
"Who's on the mountain?"
I saw two figures condensing in front of Sun Wukong.
The monkey was stunned.
He recognized the person who came, it was Guanyin Bodhisattva; next to Guanyin was a boy, Mu Zha, the second prince of Li Tianwang, the Pagoda-Bearing King.
The old man Baihu’s words came true, and Guanyin really came.
"Monkey, do you recognize me?" Guanyin asked.
Sun Wukong nodded.
"Of course I recognize it. Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Mount Putuo in the South China Sea. I wonder what the Bodhisattva is doing here?"
Guanyin was stunned. She had expected that the monkey would beg for mercy when he saw her and ask her to release him from the Five Elements Mountain, but he didn't.
"I came here at the command of the Buddha, to the Eastern Land of Daxia, in search of the one who would fetch the sutra. I passed by here, and it was a good opportunity to meet you."
"Thank you, Bodhisattva. That Tathagata deceived me and trapped me here for five hundred years. No old acquaintance has come to visit me. Bodhisattva is the first one. What a rare guest!" Sun Wukong said with a smile.
"In the past, the sky was sealed and immortals and gods could not descend." Guanyin said.
She was waiting, waiting for the monkey to beg for mercy, so that she could then tell him about the journey to the West.
Sun Wukong was also waiting, waiting for Guanyin to take the initiative to ask him to protect the monk who was seeking the scriptures, to verify what the old man said.
Neither of them made it clear.
"Bodhisattva, I have been trapped here for five hundred years, eating iron balls and drinking copper juice, and have never had a full meal. Bodhisattva, please save me from suffering and distress. Could you bring me a few peaches to fill my stomach?"
Guanyin was speechless.
The monkey said that she was a rescuer, and she thought the monkey would ask for help and ask her to release him from the Five Elements Mountain, but she didn't expect that he wanted peaches.
This monkey is not very smart.
"You monkey, you just want peaches, don't you want to go out?"
"I caused a disturbance in the Heavenly Palace and disrupted the Peach Festival. I know my sins are grave, and I don't want to leave."
Guanyin's breath stagnated.
It seems a little different from what was expected. This naughty monkey should be eager to break free from the seal, but now he says that he doesn't want to go out.
The original plan was that Sun Wukong would beg for mercy and want to go out, and she would reluctantly tell him that the monk would let him go. But now it is different. The monkey did not beg her, and even did not want to go out.
"You monkey, it seems you've shown remorse after being suppressed for five hundred years. Since you've repented, now is your chance to atone for your sins. Are you willing to do so?"
"Buddha, I stole the elixir, which is an unforgivable crime!" Sun Wukong said, shaking his hands.
"You are self-aware. Are you willing to atone for your sins?"
"Bodhisattva, I picked peaches, which is an unforgivable sin."
"Since you have repented, are you willing to atone for your sins?"
"Bodhisattva, I have caused trouble in Heaven. My sins are unforgivable!"
“…”
It's a dead loop, right?
If Guanyin had not cultivated her Taoism enough, she would have beaten the monkey to death right now.
This monkey head was completely different from what she had expected.
Five hundred years of suppression, and you still don’t want to come out?
"I know your sins are unforgivable. The Buddha said: 'The sea of suffering is boundless; turn back and you will find the shore. Lay down your butcher knife and you will instantly become a Buddha.' Since you have repented and let go of your past sins, and can still achieve Buddhahood, may I let you go now?"
"Let me out? Bodhisattva, are you really going to let me out now?" Sun Wukong asked in surprise. His acting skills were so profound that even Lin Han would feel ashamed of himself if he were here.
When Guanyin saw Sun Wukong's appearance, she immediately knew that what the monkey had just said about not wanting to come out was a complete lie.
But what the monkey figured out was exactly what she wanted.
"Of course I take it seriously, but I'm not going to let you out right now. I need conditions to release you."
"Please tell me the conditions, Bodhisattva. As long as you let me go, I will consider any conditions."
"The people of Daxia have experienced war and resentment, and the heavens have sent down a great calamity. The world needs the Buddha's salvation. A Buddhist monk from Daxia has practiced for ten lifetimes and is now traveling to the West to obtain the scriptures and save all living beings. He will pass by here and can rescue you from the Five Elements Mountain, but you must accept him as your master and protect him on his journey to the West to obtain the scriptures and achieve enlightenment."
"Let me go, my pilgrim?"
"That's right." Guanyin said.
"Then I, Old Sun, will protect him and not become his disciple, okay?"
"You monkey, why are you so nosy?" Guanyin said displeasedly, "The pilgrim saved you from suffering and gave you a second life, yet you refuse to become his disciple?"
Sun Wukong's eyes rolled around.
It was exactly as the old man said. The Buddhist sect really came to release him and asked him to become their disciple.
I remembered what the old man said, that if Tathagata cheated him, he could cheat back.
"The Bodhisattva is right. I, Sun Wukong, am willing to protect the pilgrim on his journey westward!"
“Very good!”
Receiving the affirmation, Guanyin nodded happily.
Although Monkey Head didn't cry and beg to be let out, he still agreed to go out.
"Since you have achieved good results, shall I give you a Dharma name?"
"No need, Bodhisattva, I have a name, Sun Wukong! My name is Sun Wukong." Sun Wukong shouted.
"Two people have surrendered before. They are also from the same generation as Wu. They are of the same lineage. Very good! You wait here. Soon, the pilgrims will pass by and rescue you."
Guanyin and Muzha left, leaving the Five Elements Mountain empty and deserted.
Sun Wukong retracted his body into the cave and sat on the stone bed, thinking about what Guanyin and the old man said.
On the Five Elements Mountain, Lin Han's figure slowly appeared in the mountains and forests, looking far away in the direction where Guanyin left.
After Guanyin and Muzha went away, Lin Han's body slowly disappeared!
At the foot of Liangjie Mountain, Lin Han returned to his chair and lay down, still stroking the little white tiger comfortably. He was not in a hurry to find the monkey. Giving the monkey time to think about the matter would have a better effect.
