Chapter 334: Finally Seeing Bodhi
One man and one monkey, one master and one apprentice.

They traveled from Nanshanbuzhou to Xiniuhezhou, to meet a powerful figure who understood the principles of heaven and had boundless magical powers, in order to obtain the truth and answers to their dreams!
If you don't know this, you might think it's Tang Monk and his disciples going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures...

Of course, it's pretty much the same.

"Master!"

The golden monkey stamped his feet fiercely and said angrily:

"What will it take for you to stay?"

The monkey has no other pursuit, it just wants its master to live in this world!
But even if it was such a trivial wish, Lin Liu was unwilling to fulfill it.

"I won't stay."

On the land of Xiniu Hezhou, Lin Liu's face was extremely calm.

He is not Jiao Ming, and he will not stay in this life in despair.

Of course, when he fails more often in the future, he might give up his life like Jiao Ming... but definitely not now.

His mentality is still young and his ideals are still burning!

So he will not stay here, but will enter the next life, and the next life with determination and hope... and will never stop until perfection!

As the monkey's face became increasingly angry, Lin Liu gradually approached his destination:
The Tomb of the Gods, and the "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain"...

[You first looked at the "God's Tomb" with a nostalgic look. Here lie the gods of heaven that you awakened that year. Except for Taibai Star Lord Li Ziliang who still lingers in the human world, the remains of all the gods of heaven lie under the soil here.]

[Of course, they are not actually dead, but you have saved them from this dream world and lifted them up to the "eternal wilderness"! ]

[So you envy them very much, at least they can be liberated by you, while you yourself have to continue to be trapped in this dream, and it seems that there will never be a day to escape...]

[With a sigh, your eyes turn to the cliff again: it is still a cliff, and time has not revealed its mystery. ]

[Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave, Bodhi Patriarch... He is clearly here, but you have no chance to see him, causing you to gain nothing after hundreds of years of hard work.]

[You have many questions you want to ask him, and I'm afraid only he can answer these questions...]

[“I cannot see Patriarch Bodhi.”]

[You look at the monkey seriously: "So I still need you to pass on a message for me..."]

[The fact that it has been able to stay in Fangcun Mountain for so many years proves that it is different from the one in the previous branch. This time it did not intend to escape, so its original intention has not changed, and Bodhi Patriarch still allows it to enter.]

[Then you can ask it to pass on messages for you! ]

[Although the monkey was very annoyed by your choice, he didn't say much in the end and just sighed helplessly.]

[With your questions such as "Who is the dreamer?", "What is a monkey?", "What is the meaning of dreams?", "What is Bodhi Patriarch?", "Why can only monkeys enter Lingtai Fangcun Mountain?", etc., it slowly walked towards the cliff until it disappeared into thin air...]

【You wait anxiously for the answer. 】

[While waiting for the answer, you unconsciously begin to predict Bodhi Patriarch's reaction and answer.]

[What if he doesn’t answer? What if he says he doesn’t know? What if his answer shocks you? …]

[However, your wild thoughts only lasted for a moment before being forced to stop.]

[“You…are you done asking these questions?”]

[You stare blankly at the monkey going back and forth at the speed of light, wondering: So fast? Did you find out?]

[The monkey did not answer immediately, but lowered his head blankly and remained silent for a long time...]

[You shudder in your heart: What on earth is going on? ]

[In your surprise, the monkey slowly raised his head and said with a depressed look.]

[“The master said that instead of asking me to be the messenger, it would be better for you to go and see Him in person…”]

【personally?】

[You are even more confused. Isn't it because you can't see it that you let the monkey run errands? What does Bodhi Patriarch mean by this? ]

[Before you can ask any more questions, the monkey kneels down before you resolutely, and kowtows three times! ]

[You have a bad feeling: "What on earth did he tell you?!"]

[It opened its mouth and finally asked you only one question: "Master, when you achieve perfection, will you come back to see me?"]

【You frowned: "Of course!"】

[There is no need to think about this answer, because you will definitely return to this world, and this world will be preserved by the existence in the dark after you complete this round of simulation.]

[So you know, no matter what you achieve in this round, this world will not be destroyed, and as long as it still exists, you will have the opportunity to come back here sooner or later! ] [So you told this truth to the monkey to comfort him. ]

[After hearing this, it finally made up its mind...]

[“Master, you must remember to come back to find me! Although I may not remember you by then…”]

[It smiled, and then walked towards you step by step. ]

[Step by step, its golden-haired body gradually fades away. As you stare in disbelief, it takes a step into your body...]

[At the same time, a golden statue appeared in your sea of ​​consciousness! ]

[Yes, the Dharmadhatu! ]

[You already have a Dharmakāya body, but you actually gained another Dharmakāya... This is an unknown situation that subverts all theories of Shinto practice.]

[But you didn’t care about the appearance of another statue. You just stared blankly at the familiar image in your sea of ​​consciousness.]

[It still looks the same as before, but there is no spirituality in its eyes, because it is just a statue. ]

[And this also means one thing: the monkey has fallen...]

[You had never thought of this situation, so you stayed there for a long time. It was not until you looked up blankly that you discovered that a verdant fairy mountain had silently appeared where the cliff had been.]

[After being stunned for a long time, you took a step in silence, one step after another... until you stepped on the mountain...]

【…】

[When you stand in front of the cave with the words "Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave" written on it, you find that the door is open. You don't know whether the monkey left it open before leaving, or the owner left it open on purpose.]

[Anyway, you stepped in silently...]

[Inside the cave, there are two cushions placed in the middle. One of them is empty, and the other is occupied by a white figure. He is so strange that you cannot see his specific appearance when you stand in front of him.]

[But when you look closely, you will find that His image in your eyes is constantly changing: sometimes He is an old Taoist, sometimes a skinny Taoist with a sad face, sometimes a beautiful woman in red, and sometimes a strong man with muscles all over his body but eyes full of "wisdom"...]

[He changes into nine different images in total, male and female, old and strong, purple and blood-colored... The blood-colored image is very familiar to you, and it is basically the same image as your "Western King Dharma Image"! ]

[However, none of these aroused your interest. Facing this white figure, you just asked in a deep voice.]

[“Will it come back to life?”]

【"meeting."】

[The purple-robed Taoist nodded to you.]

[You ask again: "So what is this ..."]

【“Sit down and talk first.”】

【The wealthy Taoist extends his hand to you in a friendly manner. 】

[You hesitantly sat on the empty cushion...]

[“Wukong will come back to life, don’t worry. He will be resurrected in seven days, and the time of this world will be reset to the moment of his birth.”]

[The woman in red sighed.]

[And you widened your eyes when you heard this: The protagonist is starting over? Why is this so similar to me?! ]

[But before you could ask, the Blood-robed Taoist said, "Yes, it looks very much like you... or rather, it looks very much like Xue Xuan from before, because it was originally our imitation of Xue Xuan."]

【what? 】

[You were stunned. You already knew that Xue Xuan was the former protagonist. But because you knew that, you were shocked by what he said. And it was an indescribable shock!]

[These people are actually trying to imitate the protagonist?! ]

[You don’t even know whether to say they are daring or ambitious…]

[After digesting this incredible information, you suppressed your wild thoughts and asked a question you had been holding back for a long time.]

[“Who is the master of the dream?”]

[This question is crucial. Whether you can pass the level depends on the answer. Just find the owner of the dream and wake him up with the "alarm clock", and everything will be fine...]

[However, after listening to your question, the "wise" strong man scratched his head and gave you an answer you didn't expect. ]

[“It used to be me...but since you came, it can only be you.”]
