Three days later, news of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's defeat spread to Spirited Mountain.
"Buddha, that bandit obviously doesn't put our Spirit Mountain in his eyes.”
"I implore the Buddhist general to issue a decree to immediately kill the bandit Lu Feng.”
Manjushri received the news.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had been tricked into the eighteenth level of hell.
It took him three whole days to walk out of hell.
After the Buddhist Sect received the news, they were extremely shocked.
At this moment, Lu Feng had already become a huge threat to the Buddhist Sect.
All the gods and Buddhas present nodded in unison.
He had gone against the Buddhist Sect time and time again.
It was undoubtedly a slap to their faces.
He could not let it go easily.
Gautama Buddha did not answer Manjushri directly. Instead, he asked a question.
"Manjushri, where did Wukong go?”
That's right!
Only then did Manjushri realize.
Sun Wukong did not return to the Spirit Mountain.
Previously, when Guan Yin Bodhisattva was captured, Sun Wukong ran to Spirited Mountain in a flash.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was trapped in hell.
Sun Wukong disappeared without a trace.
Manjushri immediately counted with his fingers.
It turned out that Sun Wukong did not return to the Spirited Mountain.
Instead, he brought Tang Sanzang to the south.
Since Wind Gazing Mountain didn't allow them to leave.
Then he would head south. At most, he would walk for a few more days and not take the Wind Gazing Mountain.
"Reporting to Buddha, Tang Sanzang and his disciples seem to be making a detour around Wind Gazing Mountain.”
Gautama Buddha frowned.
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, who was good at observing people's expressions, instantly caught it.
"Buddha, is it inappropriate for Tang Sanzang and his disciples to take a detour?”
Of course it was inappropriate.
The route to the west had been planned hundreds of years ago.
At the same time, he set up eighty-one difficulties along the way.
In order to gather all 81 difficulties, Western Heaven had put in a lot of effort.
Tang Sanzang and his disciples took such a detour.
Wouldn't his previous efforts be in vain?
Gautama said after a moment of silence.
"This matter is very inappropriate."
"Previously, they took the Heavenly Dao. This detour has turned them into an unorthodox path.”
"How can people of our Buddhist Sect who seek the true scriptures take the unorthodox path?”
Once the time was up, all the gods and Buddhas present immediately fell into deep thought.
Manjushri immediately reacted.
There was a hidden meaning in Buddha Tathagata's words.
The Great Path to Heaven implied that the journey to the West was the path to heaven.
The path to heaven was the path taken by the ancient sages.
The most famous one was during the beginning of Dragon Han, Dao Ancestor Hongjun fought with Fiend Ancestor Luohou for the orthodoxy of the Heavenly Dao.
He made a great wish and embarked on the road to heaven.
In twelve years, he completed the path to heaven and obtained Heavenly Merit.
In the battle that followed, Hongjun defeated Luohou in one fell swoop and became the orthodox Heavenly Dao.
In order to imitate Dao Ancestor Hongjun's actions back then, Lord Tathagata and Lord Buddha had to do so.
That was why he planned this trip.
He wanted his second disciple, the Golden Cicada Master, to reincarnate and walk the path to heaven with a mortal body.
From there, he could obtain the merit that the Heavenly Dao had bestowed upon him.
Gautama Buddha could also use this to vindicate Primordial Chaos.
If Tang Sanzang and his disciples didn't take the route that they had planned beforehand…
Then wouldn't he have gone in vain?
Only the higher-ups of the Spirit Mountain knew about this matter.
"Manjushri, please make a trip and tell Tang Sanzang that you must take the path of heaven to obtain the true scriptures.”
Manjushri understood what Buddha meant.
"As per the Buddhist decree."
………………
Wind Gazing Mountain.
"Master, I, Old Sun, am back."
Sun Wukong somersaulted down from the cloud.
He hurriedly took out the clearance document from his bag and handed it to Tang Sanzang.
Among the things that Lu Feng had snatched away previously, there was another important thing, which was the clearance certificate.
Franklin took the clearance document and carefully opened it.
"Not bad! This is the seal of the Tang Emperor."
After the previous copy of the clearance document was taken away, Sun Wukong was smart enough to return to the Tang of the East to " get " another copy.
In other words, he had just made up for it.
"Amitabha, Buddha bless us."
Although he didn't know how Sun Wukong got his hands on it, this clearance document was exactly the same as the previous one.
Tang Sanzang could also set off with confidence.
At this moment, a cloud floated over.
"Tang Sanzang."
Sun Wukong looked up.
"Manjushri, Master, Manjushri is here.”
Tang Sanzang hurriedly bowed.
"Disciple greets Manjushri Bodhisattva."
The person in charge of the Journey to the West had always been Guan Yin Bodhisattva.
However, now that Guan Yin Bodhisattva was imprisoned, Gautama Buddha could only send Manjushri to make a trip.
"Tang Sanzang, where are you going?”
Manjushri asked directly.
"Bodhisattva, that Lu Feng is a little difficult to deal with. I, Old Sun, am prepared to take a detour with Master.”
Sun Wukong said directly.
"Yes, I have the same idea.”
Tang Sanzang also echoed. Although the other party had stolen his kasaya and nine-ringed monk staff, he had failed Guan Yin Bodhisattva.
But in comparison, it seemed more important to go to the Western Heaven on time to obtain the true scriptures.
Therefore, the master and disciple decided to take a detour.
During this period, Sun Wukong even made up a copy of the clearance document.
Tang Sanzang didn't have to worry about anything.
Manjushri said after a long time.
"Tang Sanzang, the Buddha has decreed that if you want to obtain the true scriptures, you must take the Great Path of Heaven.”
Tang Sanzang was speechless.
"F * ck!"
Tang Sanzang had yet to react.
"I don't understand. Please tell me, Bodhisattva.”
Manjushri's expression turned strange and he immediately changed his words.
"Golden Cicada Master, you are only a mortal right now, so you don't know what's good or bad about it. If you want to obtain the true scripture, you have to pass the trial of Wind Gazing Mountain.”
"Only by overcoming this difficulty can I obtain the true scripture.”
Tang Sanzang instantly understood.
It turned out that the Wind Gazing Mountain was a test for him.
He had chosen to run away before.
He couldn't face the question directly.
Facing the challenge head-on.
It was impossible to defeat oneself and obtain the true scripture.
"I understand. Thank you for your reminder, Bodhisattva.”
At this moment, Sun Wukong's heart turned cold.
He finally managed to persuade the old monk to take a detour.
This was great.
He had to go back and face that hateful Thief again.
