The Reckless Life of Xiexie
Chapter 3
Having decided to concentrate on cultivation, she sent a bird to the Five Fingers Mountain to inform Wukong of her decision and not to worry.
Sun Wukong was suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain, and King Kong watched him every day. His task was to watch over him and feed him the Copper Liquid Iron Balls. After he came last time, he showed his supernatural power and intimidated King Kong. These days, he did not continue to feed Sun Wukong the Copper Liquid Iron Balls. He turned around and left, saying that he would find a way to save him.
Hearing the bird's message, Sun Wukong snorted. Her little cultivation was taught by him, so he knew her best. The post was from Buddha. Even if she cultivated for thousands of years, he was afraid that she would not be able to do it.
"Go back and tell that little vixen to stop worrying about me, Old Sun. I, Old Sun, feel quite comfortable being suppressed here. Let's go back and tell her that. Hehehehe." As he spoke, he even laughed twice.
Fei Niao was just a communication bird. She didn't know anything at all. She brought Xiexie's words to Sun Wukong and Sun Wukong's words to Xiexie.
Last time when they went to the Five Fingers Mountain, Monkey King didn't let her care about him. But as a friend for many years, she couldn't ignore him when he was suffering.
She put Monkey King's words behind her and worked hard every day. She went to the main hall to listen to scriptures during the day and went to Golden Cicada's room to read his scriptures at night. But she couldn't understand many of them and couldn't ask anyone for help. She could only figure it out by herself, so her progress was very slow.
She could only listen to scriptures during the day more seriously.
But because of this, an accident happened.
The sun was just right that day. Buddha was talking about Mahayana Buddhism with the gods and Buddhas. Suspension had a chance to enter the Dharma Hall and wanted to listen to the Mahayana Buddhism.
Entering the temple hall, the Buddhas were bustling with activity. There were more people than usual. Usually, the Suspension Ceremony would be held in the last corner. Today, there were so many people here. She was worried that she could not hear clearly, so she wanted to find a place closer to the podium to listen.
Today was the day when all the Buddhas took turns to preach on the altar. Tathagata was the first to preach on the altar. Flowers fell from the sky, lotuses bloomed in all directions, and colorful golden light. All the Buddhas were so engrossed that they did not notice the arrival of a new face.
Suspension had been reading Buddhist scriptures in the Golden Cicada's room the night before. Coincidentally, the Buddha was talking about what she had read the day before. She was enlightened in an instant.
When Tathagata finished, she was still immersed in the Dharma and had not recovered.
At this moment, she suddenly felt someone pushing her from the side. Reflexively, she took a few steps back. When she looked back, she gasped. It was Tathagata.
After Tathagata finished his lecture on Buddhism, he returned to his seat and found an unfamiliar face beside him. He was already displeased. How could anyone listen to superior Buddhism?
"Who are you?
What are you doing here? "
"I … I'm an ordinary woman from an ordinary family. Because I want to cultivate, I'm here to listen to the Dharma." Tathagata had a grudge against Wukong. She could not say that she was here to listen to the Dharma to save Wukong.
"This superior Buddhist scripture is not for mortals like you. Even if you listen to it, you won't be able to understand the profound meaning. You may leave." As he spoke, he pushed Suspension, indicating for her to leave.
Suspension was indignant. Wasn't Buddhism supposed to deliver all living beings from torment?
Why couldn't she listen?
She had already understood it. Why did he say that she couldn't understand the profound meaning?
Although she felt that it was very unfair, she also knew that this was Spirited Mountain. If she, a scorpion spirit, argued, she would probably be dealt with. If she fought, she would not gain any benefits. Therefore, she wanted to leave and secretly listen to the Dharma next time.
But who knew that at this moment, someone pushed her again. She was already nervous. After being pushed, she immediately fainted and subconsciously used her unique skill, the Poisonous Poisonous Spike, to stab Tathagata's hand.
Tathagata's hand was in intense pain, and he couldn't help but cry out. His cry was fine, but all the gods and buddhas were shocked. Immediately, there were Vajra Dharma Protectors that went forward, wanting to catch him to rest.
Suspension looked at the King Kong's approaching step by step. She knew that she could not stay on Spirited Mountain any longer.
She hurriedly breathed fire and smoke. For a moment, King Kong's Dharma Protector could not come forward. Suspension took the opportunity to escape.
Tathagata ordered a thorough investigation. But for so many years, Suspension's time on Spirited Mountain was limited. Besides the indigo lion and white elephant, only the Golden-winged Daphne and the white rat, Marten, were familiar with her. Although the Golden-winged Daphne was Tathagata's biological uncle, they were not close. Now that Tathagata was stabbed, he was very proud. How could he reveal Suspension's origin?
Other than that, there were only the white rat and Marten. They knew that they were rats, so naturally, they would not take the initiative to surrender. It was not good for them either.
Suspension knew that she must have provoked a big guy by stabbing Buddha. She ran with all her might. She didn't know how far she ran. Only when she was tired and sweating did she stop to rest.
She went to the stream to drink some water. When she raised her head, she was shocked and quickly stepped back.
There was a magnificent palace not far in front of them. It looked like a temple. When they walked in, they saw the words' Little Thunder Temple 'written on the plaque.
Spirited Mountain was Thunder Temple. How could there be a Little Thunder Temple here?
While she was hiding behind a tree in confusion, she saw a ghost swagger in. It was not affected by the Light of Buddha around the temple at all. Moreover, the ghost seemed to have lower cultivation than her. It couldn't even hide the demon aura around it.
After a while, a few mountain spirits and tree monsters went in one after another. Their cultivation was very low.
Monsters could come and go at will. Although they were invisible, they didn't hide their demon aura at all. Was this still a Buddhist temple?
She gathered her courage and went forward. At this time, there were still pilgrims coming here to offer incense. She transformed a basket with incense, candles, and tributes in it and went in.
Tathagata's Buddha statue was sitting at the head of the temple. There were Bodhisattvas and Eighteen Arhats around it. It was exactly the same as what she saw on Spirited Mountain.
She could see that there were monsters on these Buddha statues. They were eating these tributes wantonly and laughing as they watched people worship.
She sneered in her heart. Tathagata said that she was not worthy of listening to Buddhism. Did he know that he and his disciples were being abused by these monsters here?
If he knew, his expression would be very good.
Suspension looked at Tathagata's Buddha statue at the head of the temple. The monster inside seemed to have the highest cultivation here. She couldn't tell what kind of monster he was at that moment.
"Who are you?
How dare you look at your Grandpa Huang Mei like that. "A yellow-haired monster stood up from Tathagata's Buddha statue.
"You're so ugly. Even if you let me look, I won't look." Although Wukong was also yellow-haired, he was much better looking than the one in front of her.
"You little monster. How dare you speak so rudely. See if I don't teach you a lesson."
Gah, someone wants to teach her a lesson again?
She couldn't tell the cultivation level of the person in front of her. There were so many little monsters around. As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four legs. It's better to run.
Spitting fire and smoke, she escaped without a trace.
But this time, this monster seemed to be more powerful than the King Kong who came here. He could pass through the fire and smoke and chase after her. She quickened her pace and ran even faster.
Her escaping skills were learned from White Mouse. Although her digging skills were not as good as White Mouse's, her two claws were still useful. Seeing a melon field in front of her, she quickly changed into her original form and burrowed in.
In an instant, she disappeared without a trace. Huang Mei circled around here. He knew that the Suspension Device must be hidden here, but he couldn't find it at that moment.
Seeing an old farmer coming from afar, he quickly turned around and ran back.
After about a quarter of an hour, there was still no sound from outside. Just as she poked her head out, she heard a very hearty laugh. "Hahaha, this melon is big. It looks very thirst-quenching."
So it's a melon farmer. She transformed into her human form when he wasn't paying attention. She saw that the old farmer had already cut open the watermelon and was eating a small piece. She also felt a little thirsty and walked forward. "Uncle, I'm passing by and can't hold back my thirst. I want to buy a melon from you. How much are you selling it?"
The old farmer raised his head and looked at her. He was still smiling. "Little girl, I'm not buying this melon."
"Why not? There's so much you can't finish."
"I'm not buying this melon. I'm only giving it away."
The old farmer looked at her and continued to smile. His eyes were still smiling into slits. "I'm only giving this melon to the fated passerby."
Fated passerby?
"Uncle, do you think I'm fated?"
"Of course you're fated. Miss, you can eat as much as you want in my melon field today."
This is fate? What kind of logic is that?
But it's also a good thing to be able to eat melons for free. She picked up a piece from the side and started to eat. The red melon looked very appetizing. It was sweet when she took a bite. It was indeed very delicious.
"Thank you, uncle. I'm full."
"Hahaha, it's good that you're done eating."
The old man continued to smile. "Miss and I are fated. Since you've eaten my melon, do you know why you're 'fated' with me?"
Why?
Could it be that this old man was going to force her to buy or sell?
Or did he want to do something bad to her?
Just as she was on her guard, she saw the old farmer laugh again. His body changed, and he looked like a monk. However, the monk's kasaya couldn't wrap around his stomach, so his big belly was exposed. He held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand and looked at her with a smile.
A monk, one of Tathagata's people.
Suspension retreated cautiously. She secretly scolded herself for being careless. She actually did not see the Light of Buddha around him.
But then again, it was as easy for a Buddha to hide his Light of Buddha as it was for her to hide her demonic aura. If he really wanted to hide it, how could she see through it?
"I know you. You're the Scorpion Spirit who stabbed Tathagata Buddha in the Dharma Hall today. You're also the one who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace with the Stone Monkey 500 years ago."
"Who are you?"
She had never seen this person on Spirited Mountain before. However, she felt that he was very amiable and did not seem to have any ill intentions towards her.
"I'm Donglai Buddha. I don't know if you've heard of me before."
Donglai Buddha?
She had heard of this title before. It seemed that he was the future Buddha, the successor of Tathagata.
"I just said that we're fated. Aren't you curious about which 'fate' it is?"
"Why should I be curious?"
Although Tathagata had previously suppressed Wukong under the Five Fingers Mountain, she also knew that it was caused by Wukong wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace. She had never hated Buddhism.
