He was silent for a moment, and his eyes slowly moved towards the suppressed Spiritual Stone Monkey in the distance. The figure was crouched on the ground, unable to move.
This monkey was born in Five-Colored Stone left behind by Nuwa Mending the Heavens, and is an extraordinary creature. As one of Chaos Four Monkeys, its origin is destined to be extraordinary, and its future path is difficult to estimate.
Because of this, the Western Buddhas attach great importance to it. On the surface, it is just a chess piece walking in the world; in fact, the Buddhas have already regarded it as the core combat power of Great Western Journey Endeavor after its completion.
The name "Victorious Fighting Buddha" is not for nothing. This fruition position has been reserved for it before it awakens. When the opportunity is ripe, it will ascend to the Buddha's position and guard the west.
You must know that the road to becoming a Buddha is extremely difficult and dangerous, and you must enter the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal to be eligible to compete. This monkey had no cultivation when it was first born, and after being taught by Bodhi to come out of the mountain, it is no more than a true fairyland.
For example, This Realm has been included in the list of Buddha candidates, which shows that his talent is outstanding and his roots are deep, making the entire Buddhist Teachings look at him with suspicion.
In the final analysis, what everyone hopes for is not the body itself, but the power of chaos hidden in its bloodline, which is the key to determining fate.
At the moment, Spiritual Stone Monkey is under the pressure from Empress Houtu. The pervasive aura of Quasi-Sage Peak is like a mountain toppling over, holding it firmly to the ground.
It tried to raise its head, but was crushed by Invisible Force until its spine cracked. It could only grit its teeth and struggle, but it could never break free.
Just when the silence was about to swallow everything, Old Ancestor Bodhi finally spoke.
"Tu'er, my teacher told you not to easily cause disputes between right and wrong. Look at what you are doing now. Which one of them is not asking for trouble?"
As soon as these words came out, the world was shaken. The eyes of countless powerful people suddenly focused on the prostrate figure.
It turns out that Spiritual Stone Monkey is the disciple of Bodhi?
Since Bodhi is the incarnation of Zhunti, then isn't this Monkey equivalent to one of the direct disciples of Two Sages of the West?
For a time, everyone's thoughts were swirling. No one thought that this seemingly unruly stone monkey was actually involved in such far-reaching cause and effect and layout.
It actually comes from the inheritance of Saint! The origin of this Spiritual Stone Monkey is actually unfathomable!
The hearts of the gods and gods were slightly shaken, and they were secretly glad that they had never had any grudge against the stone monkey. Even if it disrupted the order of Heavenly Court before, they did not take action to suppress it. Otherwise, today's situation may have attracted Western Buddhist Sect's attention, and the consequences are unpredictable.
When the sound reached his ears, Spiritual Stone Monkey's pupils suddenly shrank, shock and confusion flashed across his expression.
Old Ancestor Bodhi sighed softly, shook his head slowly, raised his sleeves and robe, and a clear light swept out, resolving the pressure Empress Houtu had exerted on the stone monkey.
Spiritual Stone Monkey took advantage of the situation and took a few steps back, kneeling on the ground without hesitation, facing the old figure directly.
"Master... Master! I miss you so much!"
Thousands of emotions surged up, and it was difficult to express. He was full of gratitude to Old Ancestor Bodhi. Without his enlightenment and teachings, how could he be where he is today? The starting point of his path was given by that hidden master.
The Dharma he practiced was taught by him; the path to immortality he embarked on was also initiated by him.
Looking at the kneeling figure in front of him, Old Ancestor Bodhi sighed again, "Get up. I once warned you that you must not mention my name in this Primordial World."
"Now that you are in a crisis, you have always kept tight-lipped and never used my name to ask for help or avoid trouble."
"Although you have a wild and unruly temperament, your determination is indeed rare."
He took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and lifted Spiritual Stone Monkey up with a gentle force, and then said, "However, if there is a mistake, you will be punished, and you can't let it go."
As soon as he said this, Stone Monkey raised his head in astonishment, with a hint of confusion in his eyes that the master was not here to save him?
Seeing this, Old Ancestor Bodhi said slowly, "But still remember, I didn't give you your real name back then?"
"Just because you look like Monkey, I decided on a last name casually."
Spiritual Stone Monkey nodded quickly. "This disciple has always kept it in mind. Master, are you going to give me a formal name today?"
Spiritual Stone Monkey's eyes were burning, and there was a trace of leaping light in his eyes. In this Primordial Chaos's Primordial World, he was originally transformed from a stone egg, and his heart was as pure as a child. At this moment, there was an inexplicable expectation in his heart, as if he sensed that some kind of turning point in fate was about to come.
He stared at Old Ancestor Bodhi, completely forgetting the previous disaster and pain.
The ancestor sighed softly, his voice low but clear. "The name of Dongfang is no longer with you."
"From now on, you must restrain your sharpness and learn to bow your head. Disciple, accept this punishment, and I will protect you as a master and prevent disaster from getting close to you."
"It's just that your pride needs to be tempered over time before you can fulfill the promise we made between you and me."
As he finished speaking, the light in Spiritual Stone Monkey's eyes dimmed slightly, as if unwillingness was tumbling in his heart.
Old Ancestor Bodhi's eyes were calm, and then he said, "Don't hesitate anymore, and don't think too much. From now on, you will be called 'Wukong'."
"The surname is Sun and the given name is Wukong. Sun Wukong. This name will be with you for the rest of your life."
His tone was solemn, but there was an imperceptible fluctuation in his eyes. There was uneasiness hidden deep inside because every step he made at this moment was following the guidance of Daoist Zhunti.
In all realms of the sky, storms and clouds are surging. Sect Master Tongtian stands outside the Zixiao Palace, Nuwa sits quietly on Mending the Heavens Ridge, Houtu sits in the depths of the netherworld, and the elusive storyteller Su Yang watches coldly in the void.
Countless eyes gathered here and fell on Bodhi.
Even though he felt uneasy, he still chose to remain silent and bear responsibility. For the sake of the layout of the great cause of the West, this bit of forbearance was nothing more than a grain of dust.
"Sun Wukong?"
The stone monkey repeated in a low voice, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his breathing quickened. "This Old Sun also has a name?"
"Sun Wukong? Is this my name?" He grinned and became proud, "Master, then I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong!"
"Exactly." Bodhi nodded and stared at him, "Wukong, have you ever thought carefully about what my teacher just said?"
Before he finished speaking, Sun Wukong's expression suddenly froze.
"Master," his voice deepened, "I know I made a mistake impulsively, but they really wanted to kill me! If the sword couldn't cut it, they used thunder. When the thunder failed, they threw me into Alchemy Furnace!"
"Grand Supreme Elder wants to refine me into an elixir! If I hadn't been determined, I would have turned into ashes!"
After letting out all his grievances in one breath, he added, "And that Heavenly Court Jade Emperor, let me raise horses and be a stable boy! The dignified Great Sage Equal to Heaven is being ordered around like this!"
"Master, tell me, am I really wrong?"
Old Ancestor Bodhi sighed softly, and his tone was gentle but unquestionable. "Disciple, if you make a mistake, you have to bear it. Heavenly Court Although you are at fault, you have exceeded the limit after all by going to war in a place that is respected by the three worlds."
"I will punish you to meditate on your past under Five Finger Mountain. The time limit is five hundred years. Can you accept it?"
As soon as the words fell, the powerful men in all directions were shocked. Guanyin Bodhisattva's eyes flashed slightly, as if he had some realization.
Old Ancestor Bodhi's appearance here was no accident. His arrival actually promoted the established situation. Keeping that Spiritual Stone Monkey under Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years was originally part of the West's earlier plan. Now that the situation has changed, he has to personally come forward to correct his position.
Sun Wukong stood with his eyes lowered, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
