Chapter 779: Journey to the West Sequel - Salvation Merit 5

"Hmm, interesting, interesting! Hehe..." After listening to Ruyi's story, Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly. He really wanted to get involved in something that was both interesting and could earn merit.

"Sister Ruyi, I, Old Sun, want to join in on this fun thing!"

"If the Great Sage is willing to help, I will be more than happy to do so." She had come to ask Sun Wukong for help in the first place, so it would be great if he was willing to do so without Ruyi's further persuasion.

Originally, according to the plot of "The Sequel to Journey to the West", the story should have started when Tang Sanzang and his disciples retrieved the scriptures and returned to the Tang Dynasty. However, because this life is in a comprehensive world, all the plot timelines have been distorted to a certain extent.

Nowadays, Guangli Bodhisattva Xiaobailong, who is seeking revenge for his uncle who was wrongly killed, is reuniting with the King of the Kingdom of Women in the Kingdom of Women, completely ignoring the fact that he has already been ranked as a Bodhisattva in Buddhism.

However, these had no impact on Ruyi's plan. Whether the old Dragon King of Jinghe died unjustly or not, his own nephew didn't care, so how could Ruyi care?

Originally, in order to help Xiaobailong clear the grievances of the old Dragon King of Jinghe, Sun Wukong chased Wude Star Lord down to the underworld, so it would have naturally not happened that he was ambushed by Qin Guangwang, the King of Hell.

"But sister, how can I get this merit?" Sun Wukong began to struggle after calming down. "Although that old Tathagata has a grudge against me, he is a true monk after all, and he is truly compassionate."

"If that devil Wu Tian were to become the Buddha, wouldn't it cause great suffering to all beings in the three realms? Even if it doesn't affect my Flower-Fruit Mountain, I can't just ignore it!"

"But if the reincarnation of Tathagata were to return to Lingshan to become the Buddha, I would feel so uncomfortable!"

"Sister Ruyi, what do you think we should do about this?"

Previously, Ruyi and Sun Wukong discussed how to become a third party and get all the relics before everyone else, and then defeat the demon Wujitian. As for Tathagata's reincarnation, Qiao Ling'er, they had not thought about it yet.

I originally thought that as long as they got rid of Wu Tian, ​​the world would be saved. As for Qiao Ling'er and the like, just let him live as a mortal in the mortal world, preferably get married and have children, so that he will break the precepts and can never come back. But what Sun Wukong said made sense. Western Buddhism cannot be leaderless, there must be someone to take charge.

Save the world, save the world. After saving the world, we cannot just leave it alone. After saving the world, we still need to stabilize the world. To stabilize the world, both Western Buddhism and Eastern Heaven are indispensable.

"Is there any way to ensure that there are no problems with Western Buddhism while at the same time drastically changing the plot?" If Tathagata is still reincarnated and returns to Lingshan to be his Buddha, even if he has no collusion with the Heavenly Dao in "The Sequel to Journey to the West", Ruyi will feel unhappy, with a sense of injustice of working for Tathagata for no reason.

"Tathagata, Qiao Ling'er, Wu Tian..." Sun Wukong doesn't want to be the Buddha, Tang Sanzang has problems and is not pure, Guanyin...

Ruyi carefully calculated who in this world was qualified and capable of being the Buddha, and discovered that there seemed to be no suitable candidate other than Tathagata.

The reason why the Heavenly Dao in "The Sequel to Journey to the West" colluded with Tathagata was probably because he had calculated that he or the Great Heavenly Dao would never be willing to let the demon Wu Tian really become the Buddha. Even if the situation in which Wu Tian committed great sins and caused suffering to all living beings in the three realms would be changed by Ruyi, he would be eliminated in the end, and the ending of Tathagata returning to Lingshan would not change.

If Ruyi is so cruel as to allow Wutan to become the Buddha in order to change the plot, then the world will be riddled with holes because of Wutan, and all the characters in the first three worlds of heaven will be eliminated by Wutan. At that time, it is unknown whether the world will be destroyed or not. However, Ruyi will not get the merit of saving the world by turning the world into this state. Not only will all his efforts be in vain, but he will also most likely be guilty of destroying the world.

But the more there was only one choice, the more Ruyi didn't want to choose Tathagata. She frowned and continued to think, "Randang? No, no, the ancient Buddha Ran Deng must have passed away..."

After thinking for a long time, suddenly a candidate who only had one sentence on his debut appeared in Ruyi's mind, "Hehehe..." Ruyi showed a sinister smile, she thought of a candidate whose identity, cultivation and personality were suitable in every aspect - Bai Yi Wutan!

The demon leader Wu Tian, ​​also known as Wu Tian in Black, is actually the great protector "Kinnara Bodhisattva" who has a very high status in the Buddhist world. Wu Tian in Black and Wu Tian in White are actually one, so the identity of Wu Tian in White is the same as that of Wu Tian in Black. The magic power of Wu Tian in Black is equivalent to that of Tathagata, so the same is true for Wu Tian in White. What's even better about Wu Tian in White is that he is a good thought that is split out, unlike Tathagata and other Buddhas, no matter how compassionate they are, it is impossible for them to completely get rid of evil thoughts.

Ruyi seemed to have thought for a long time before choosing the candidate for the Buddha, but in fact, it was only a thought. Sun Wukong waited for a long time but did not see Ruyi's response. Just when he was about to ask again, he heard Ruyi smiling and replied: "Great Sage, since you don't want Tathagata to be the Buddha again, then change someone else!"

"Change it?" Sun Wukong shook his head. "Sister, I'm afraid that won't work. If Tathagata lets the devil Wu Tian become the Buddha, it's better not to change it."

"Great Sage, do you really not want to be a Buddha?" Ruyi suddenly joked, which scared Sun Wukong. He shook his head and waved his hands to show that he didn't want to. He really didn't want to.

"Since the Great Sage really doesn't want to be the Buddha, why not let Wu Tian be the Buddha?"

"The devil Wu Tian can't do it, he is a collection of pure evil thoughts, but Bai Yi Wu Tian can do it!"

Next, Ruyi explained to Sun Wukong the relationship between Bai Yi Wu Tian and the evil Wu Tian, ​​and also gave Sun Wukong some basic knowledge about the relationship between Tathagata and Wu Tian.

After listening to Ruyi's explanation, Sun Wukong had no objection to Ruyi's plan, but he still had some doubts in his heart that he wanted to know. Sun Wukong looked at Ruyi hesitantly, his eyes full of entanglement and inquiry.

"Great Sage, what's wrong?" Ruyi saw that Sun Wukong's expression was a little strange, "Do you have anything to say?"

Sun Wukong nodded, looked at Ruyi seriously, and asked solemnly: "Sister Ruyi, tell me the truth, who are you? Why do you know all these things? And...what is the reason for you to do all this, is it just for merit?"

"Great Sage, you finally asked. I thought you would endure it for a while longer..." Ruyi smiled, very happily. She had wanted to say it for a long time, but before, she was afraid that she would be discovered because she did not have the permission of Heaven. Now that Heaven has allowed it, she has never had the chance to explain.

You can't just say to Sun Wukong right away: "Great Sage, I'm telling you, I'm not actually from this world!" Let's not talk about whether Sun Wukong believes it or not, just thinking about this dialogue scene makes you feel suffocated, okay?
