He boasts about his petty skills without considering who taught him them, and he doesn't even think about how he could possibly defeat his own master, Bodhi Patriarch, yet he dreams of sitting on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.
This guy truly deserves to be suppressed for 500 years.
"But I don't believe it."
The Buddha still wore that kind smile.
"Don't believe me? I'll show you!"
Having said that, the monkey was about to take off.
"slow!"
The Buddha chuckled and said, "How about we make a bet?"
Watching this scene, Bai Zhi muttered to herself, "Buddha is also a monk. Is it really okay for monks to make bets?"
Buddha seemed to sense something and glanced in Bai Zhi's direction, which startled Bai Zhi so much that she quickly shut her mouth.
"If you can somersault out of my palm, you win, and I will ask the Jade Emperor to move to the West and give you the Heavenly Palace."
"If you can't escape my grasp, hurry back to the mortal realm and stop making a scene here."
The monkey glanced at Buddha suspiciously. For some reason, a sense of crisis flashed through his mind. He then remembered what Bai Zhi had told him: there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.
Chapter 656 The Monkey's Regret and Return to the World
But immediately, the confidence he gained from his previous thrashing of various heavenly soldiers and generals shattered this line of thinking.
"Buddha, as the saying goes, a word once spoken cannot be taken back. If I were to escape your grasp, would you be able to control the Jade Emperor?"
The Buddha smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "You can do it, you can do it."
"No taking it back!"
The monkey was overjoyed.
"No regrets, no regrets."
"A word is settled!"
After the monkey finished speaking, it jumped into the Buddha's hand and shouted, "Watch closely!"
"What kind of early fraud record is this?"
Bai Zhi shook her head speechlessly. As expected, once the monkey jumped in, it was basically game over.
The one that Tathagata mentioned should be the legendary Buddha Kingdom in the palm of one's hand.
Sure enough, after a short while, the monkey's voice came from the Buddha's palm.
"Monk, I've already flipped your palm and gone to the ends of the earth. I even saw five pillars in the sky and wrote 'I was here' on them. You've lost. Now tell that old Jade Emperor to move them away!"
"Hehe, you monkey, take a look at what I have in my hand?"
The monkey looked back and saw the words it had just written on the so-called "pillar of heaven" clearly displayed there.
In an instant, the phrase Bai Zhi had once again told him, "There are always people better than you, and there is always a higher level to reach," flashed through his mind again. He was terrified, knowing that he had probably encountered a real tough opponent, and thought of immediately doing another somersault and running away.
But clearly, when facing a true master, the monkey's indestructible body, seventy-two transformations, or somersault cloud are all useless.
Suddenly, a great light shone forth, and the monkey fell directly from the sky, followed by countless grains of sand, thus forming a giant Five Finger Mountain.
Bai Zhi shook her head and turned off the camera.
Although she used to be puzzled by the monkey being trapped underneath the screen when watching TV dramas, now she thinks that if the monkey hadn't been trapped underneath for 500 years to temper its temperament, it might have really become a troublemaker.
Beautiful music played once again in the Heavenly Court, and the Jade Emperor invited all the immortals, as well as the Buddha and Bodhisattvas who had come from afar, to a banquet.
"Is this the recently renowned Abundant and Vast True Lord?"
During the banquet, Buddha looked Bai Zhi up and down with compassionate eyes and asked the Jade Emperor.
"Indeed, Bai Zhi is a disciple of Laozi, and has made great achievements in the art of healing. The title I bestowed upon her that day was a hint from heaven and earth."
The Jade Emperor stroked his beard, looking very pleased. In his view, Bai Zhi, who had studied under Laozi and was quite skilled in both healing and combat, was an absolutely precious talent.
In the Heavenly Court these days, many of the old guys are just going through the motions without putting in any real effort; we need fresh blood to come in.
“This True Lord… possesses a radiant aura; perhaps he can communicate with the Medicine Buddha of our Buddhist sect.”
"Buddha, you flatter me. I dare not say that we can exchange ideas. It would be enough to learn from the Medicine Buddha."
Bai Zhi said very modestly that she knew about this Medicine Buddha and had seen related information in the Bodhi Patriarch's collection of books.
This Medicine Buddha made twelve great vows during his past practice. These vows cover many aspects and all revolve around saving sentient beings.
For example, may all beings be relieved of physical pain, may those suffering from various intractable diseases recover their health, and may all beings be free from worries about food and clothing, and have sufficient guarantees in terms of living materials.
There are also beings who can be freed from the suffering of the lower realms, no longer tormented by the evil paths of animals, hungry ghosts, hell, etc.
Perhaps the Buddha said this because he sensed the abundant aura emanating from her.
"The sacred mountain awaits the arrival of the True Lord."
"Buddha, you have spoken too highly of yourself..."
The banquet passed in such a noisy atmosphere, and by the time Bai Zhi walked out of the venue, almost a day had passed.
"A day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth. That monkey must have suffered a lot."
Bai Zhi thought for a moment, then rode a cloud and flew towards Wuzhi Mountain.
Before long, Bai Zhi flew to Wuzhi Mountain and saw a monkey that only showed its head and half of its right hand.
"Monkey, are you feeling better now?"
Bai Zhi walked up to the monkey and casually tossed him a fairy fruit.
The monkey didn't say anything, but struggled to catch the fairy fruit and began to wolf it down.
After finishing his meal, the monkey said aggrievedly, "Little White, they lied to me. That monk clearly said that even if I couldn't cross the threshold, he would just send me to the mortal realm and tell me not to cause trouble in Heaven anymore."
"But he actually pinned me down under this mountain."
"Then just say there's no lower realm."
Bai Zhi replied irritably.
The monkey was speechless for a moment. This really was the lower realm, no doubt about it.
The only problem was that he wasn't released to the lower realms as he had hoped.
"I told you before in the Tushita Palace that there are always people more capable than you and heavens beyond heavens. When you were knocked unconscious by Laozi's magic weapon, you didn't reflect on your actions at all. Now look what you've done, are you feeling better?"
"..."
The monkey remained silent.
Although he only spent one day with Bai Zhi, he had been suppressed down below for a whole year, experiencing all four seasons.
Moreover, they were fed iron pellets and molten copper provided by the gods to quench their thirst and satisfy their hunger, which was incredibly unpleasant.
"Xiaobai, why don't you help me remove that talisman? Once it's gone, I can get out on my own."
Do you think the Buddha was a fool?
Bai Zhi was somewhat speechless. With her strength, she could indeed remove the talisman on the mountain.
However, this is a restriction set by the Buddha himself. If she dares to break it, she will definitely suffer the consequences.
"That little white..."
Before the monkey could finish speaking, he saw Bai Zhi's figure twist and disappear right in front of him.
Oh no, could it be that I'm too incompetent and have offended Xiaobai completely?
"Little White, are you there? Little White?"
The monkey shouted loudly, but no one on the entire Five Finger Mountain responded to his call.
It was winter, and snowflakes were falling gently on the monkey, making him feel a chill in his heart.
I recalled Bai Zhi, who constantly reminded me when I was learning from Bodhi Patriarch, and even taught me those principles when I was being refined in the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
But in the end, he didn't care and ended up in this situation.
The monkey felt that he might have really broken Bai Zhi's heart.
Of course, Bai Zhi wasn't upset by the monkey. She remembered the entire plot of Journey to the West perfectly. At most, she just sighed that the monkey was too difficult to teach.
She suddenly disappeared from there, of course, because... she woke up and naturally disappeared from the world of Journey to the West.
"Huh, why hasn't Bailu returned yet? That shouldn't be the case."
Bai Zhi shook her head, got out of bed, and looked around, but couldn't find Bai Lu.
Chapter 657 Dragon Master: There is only one sun in my heart!
Bai Zhi frowned, picked up her phone from the bedside table, checked the time, and realized she had slept for almost 12 hours.
This made her feel very uneasy.
Although Bailu often skips work at Dan Ding Si to go out and play, her overall habits are still very healthy. She usually goes home to sleep on time every day.
Even if he's a little late sometimes, he wouldn't be gone all night like this.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi pushed open the door and found a Yunqi soldier responsible for patrolling and protecting the area.
"Brother Yunqi, have you seen Bailu Longnu recently?"
"Ah, it's Lady Baizhi, it's Bailu Dragon Girl's words..."
The cloud rider pondered for a moment, "The day before yesterday, it seems that some people from the Chiming Clan invited the White Dew Dragon Girl away."
"As for where they have arrived, as a Cloud Rider, it is not appropriate for me to inquire."
"We asked them to leave the day before yesterday..."
Bai Zhi touched her chin, and some possibilities flashed through her mind.
The first thing I did was to invite Bailu to a meeting.
The Dragon Lord has this responsibility, but under normal circumstances, Bai Zhi feels that since most of the internal affairs of the Luo Fu Chi Ming Clan are now managed by the Dragon Master Council, those old guys won't automatically return the power.
It's possible to return the power to someone as capable as her, but to give it back to Bai Lu is somewhat ridiculous.
The second point is that those people are still harboring wicked intentions and want to use Bailu's special bloodline to do something.
I've already spoken to those dragon masters, so it shouldn't be like that...
Bai Zhi wasn't sure if those guys had really given up their ideas. After all, since the Immortal Dragon died, and the Immortal Destiny was torn apart, Chi Ming was unable to reproduce new offspring.
Reproducing and passing on genes is an instinct within living organisms, and the Vidyadharas are no exception.
Even if she can now convert races other than the Vidyadharas into Vidyadharas, the crazy experiments she conducted in order to perpetuate her race may not be so easy to stop.
Bai Zhi thought for a moment, picked up her phone, and found a Dragon Master.
This Dragon Master had subtly revealed some internal matters of the Dragon Master to her last time, so it could be said that he was loyal to her faction.
Bai Zhi: [Is there any way to obtain information on internal parliamentary fund flows and detailed project records? I'm not talking about the fake ones, I mean genuine internal records.]
Dragon Master: [Lady Baizhi...you want this...]
On the other side, upon receiving this information, Master Long broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that Bai Zhi was going to investigate their internal fund usage?
Could it be, just as some Dragon Masters have said, that Bai Zhi might be going to follow in the footsteps of the former Yin Yue Jun Dan Feng, seizing power and doing whatever she wants?
However, those spots for conversion to the Vidya line are too tempting. Compared to the spots released by Baizhi, the resources that were snatched up from within the Vidya line are simply not enough.
If you offend Bai Zhi and he gets his spot taken away, won't other people be eager to do it?
He was caught in a fierce internal struggle.
Bai Zhi: [This isn't directed at you, but also, do you know where Bai Lu went?]
Seeing that the other side had been silent for a while without sending any messages, Bai Zhi roughly guessed what the old man was worried about, and immediately took precautions.
The dragon master breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the message from Bai Zhi.
Dragon Master: [Lady Baizhi, I can give it a try. I have a friend who is also loyal to you. What do you think...]
Bai Zhi: [I'll give you 5 extra spots. You and that person can allocate them yourselves. Remember to vet their character.]
