Chapter 242 Emotional value still needs to be given!
Western Paradise
Jieyin and Zhunti sat cross-legged on lotus thrones, their expressions solemn.
They waited for nearly two hundred years, but Jin Chanzi never left the human realm and entered the monkey life trajectory they had arranged long ago!
This made the two of them very frustrated!
"The sixth incarnation has ended," the guide said slowly.
"Jin Chanzi's true spirit returned to the underworld, and his Buddha-nature... completely disappeared!"
Even now, I can no longer awaken it!
Zhunti, looking displeased, complained:
"What is it about this human race that makes them so appealing?!"
They actually let him stay there for nearly two hundred years without ever leaving?!
Doesn't he get tired of it?!
"The underworld followed the rules again and reincarnated him as a human spirit pet!"
A hint of helplessness flashed in Jieyin's eyes.
"I'm truly out of ideas! Let's wait and see!"
"It was intentional! It was absolutely intentional!"
Zhunti gritted his teeth,
"Those ancestral witches must have discovered our plan."
They are hindering us.
"That's not all!"
The guide calculated with his fingers.
"The trajectory of Jin Chanzi's later lives is unclear. It must be because Pingxin intervened and concealed the secrets of heaven. I can no longer predict it!"
Moreover... his thinking has completely gone astray!
This seventh incarnation of a monkey,
He had almost no interest in Buddhism.
He spends all his time planting peach trees and helping the humans with their work...!
Zhunti remained silent for a long time:
"Then let's speed things up. We can compress the ten lifetimes of reincarnation so he can complete them as quickly as possible."
Also... we can't wait any longer at Flower Fruit Mountain.
The stone monkey is about to be born; it is essential to plant a seed of Buddhist affinity in him when he first develops his intelligence.
Otherwise, given the stone's foundation, the consequences could be dire.
"What are you planning to do?"
"Let Guanyin make a trip."
A golden light flashed in Zhunti's eyes.
"By infusing it with the sweet dew of willow branches, a seed is planted deep within its true spirit. Five hundred years later..."
He didn't finish speaking, but Jieyin already understood.
I'm afraid someone will stop me!
Previously, Tongtian had severed Jin Chanzi's Buddha-nature himself; this time, he probably won't let us do as we please!
"Then let's see who has the more skillful methods."
Zhunti said coldly,
"Although Tongtian has regained his sainthood, he no longer possesses the Zhuxian Sword Formation and is no longer the invincible force that only the Four Saints could break through!"
"If the two of us hide in the shadows and strike with all our might, seizing the opportunity to catch him off guard, we might just succeed."
"Alright, this is a very important matter."
Let's go together, just in case!
As for Guanyin, let her attract attention in the open!
It's safer and more reassuring for me to handle this personally!
As he spoke, Jieyin murmured again:
"Should we call Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun? Will the Underworld intervene?"
Jieyin has a lot of psychological trauma. He always feels that if he goes out to do something, a group of ancestral witches will suddenly appear and beat him up!
I've decided it's better to play it safe!
"Brother, it can't be that bad!"
The Ancestral Witches haven't shown themselves for nearly a thousand years. They probably wouldn't step forward for Tongtian, their former enemy!
Besides, we didn't really do anything to him; we just turned a stone into a charm when he wasn't looking!
After frowning and thinking for a long time, Jieyin finally spoke:
"Alright then! We won't inform them!"
This also avoids incurring karmic debts.
After all, this great calamity is primarily a matter for the West!
"I just hope everything goes well!"
After making the decision, a Buddhist decree was immediately issued, heading towards the location of Guanyin!
......
Western Spirit Mountain
In the purple bamboo forest behind the Great Thunder Temple.
In the present-day primordial world, due to the Underworld's reduction of the Western sphere of influence,
Like Guanyin, the upper echelons of Western military power are almost all holed up in the West, afraid to venture out easily.
They were afraid of running into the ancestral witches who were out for a stroll and accidentally killing them!
At this moment, Guanyin is sitting quietly by the lotus pond.
The willow branch inside the jade bottle in her hand was lush and green.
This kind of environment used to be the most calming for him.
But today, he felt restless and uneasy!
"Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva!"
Just then, a slightly rough voice came from behind.
A black bear spirit, over ten feet tall, was seen carrying a thick purple bamboo pole.
He ran over excitedly.
The black bear spirit wore a simple monk's robe, and around his neck hung a string of 108 ebony prayer beads.
When running, the prayer beads don't move at all; they're held in place entirely by the skin and flesh!
"Huh? What's wrong?!"
Guanyin frowned and raised her eyes, her tone remaining calm.
"Look at this purple bamboo!"
The black bear spirit put the bamboo down, and the ground trembled slightly, clearly indicating that the bamboo was quite heavy.
I found it this morning when I went out on a mountain patrol.
This root has nine sections and nine orifices, making it an excellent material for crafting magical artifacts.
Thinking that the Bodhisattva's bamboo grove was in need of this seed, I...
Before the black bear could finish speaking, a golden light pierced through the air.
It hovered before Guanyin, transforming into a golden Buddhist edict that only he could see.
Guanyin's heart tightened upon seeing this; she had work to do!
I'll ignore that bear that's making a mess of things!
The golden light condensed and formed eight simple characters:
"Flowers, fruits, mountains, and rocks, transformed by sweet dew."
Upon seeing these words,
The willow branch inside Guanyin's jade bottle moved without any wind, and the nectar inside the bottle also swayed!
Guanyin's hand even trembled almost imperceptibly.
The black bear spirit, observing the situation carefully, inquired:
"Bodhisattva, is there a Dharma decree?"
Guanyin put away the Buddhist decree and remained silent for a long while.
He then said softly:
"Buddha has commanded me to go to Flower Fruit Mountain to enlighten the Chaos Immortal Stone that is about to be born!"
"That's a good thing!"
The black bear spirit grinned.
"I heard that stone is a primordial stone of chaos, with an extraordinary origin."
If you could enlighten me and guide me into Buddhism, that would be a great act of merit...
"You don't understand!"
Guanyin interrupted him, her expression very complicated.
He stood up, walked to a clump of purple bamboo, and gently stroked the bamboo joints with his fingers.
This purple bamboo grove was something he rediscovered after joining the Buddhist order.
He planted each bamboo stalk himself and nurtured it with his magic.
But it was still no match for the innate spiritual root that he had briefly possessed!
"Black Wind, do you remember the innate spiritual root you stole back then?" Guanyin suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Black Wind's dark face showed embarrassment:
"Bodhisattva, please don't bring up these old matters again! Black Wind knows he was wrong!"
I had no choice but to work under the Demon Saint back then!
If it weren't for the Bodhisattva's 'compassion' in subduing me!
I'm afraid I've already perished along with the demon army!
That's not what I meant.
Guanyin shook her head.
"Actually, several other 'guests' came before you tried to steal it!"
"Um?!"
Black Wind was a little confused:
"There were people ahead of me who went there? And they didn't even take away my spiritual root?!"
Could it be that there is anyone in this primordial world who can remain unmoved upon seeing an innate spiritual root?!
Seeing Hei Feng's confusion, Guanyin continued with a sense of helplessness:
"They forcibly broke into the Purple Bamboo Forest, saying they wanted to 'enlighten' there."
Back then, I was weak and could only exchange a few words with them; I had little room to refuse!
Black Wind widened his eyes dramatically:
"Who is so bold as to barge into the Bodhisattva's sacred site?"
Although he asked the question, he already had a general idea of the answer in his mind.
After all, there were rumors that the Ancestral Witches went to various parts of the prehistoric world to comprehend innate spiritual roots and cause trouble.
He'd heard about it too!
Besides, given Guanyin's level back then,
Even with just two henchmen, they could steal his stuff.
Back then, there were far too many beings who dared to trespass on his dojo!
But now that they've been subdued...
Even if you get hit, you should still stand up straight and receive the emotional support you deserve!
