Sun Wukong looked at Lu Ye in disbelief: "You are..."
Lu Ye laughed: "Do you believe me now? I said that the mountain gods and the land gods would bow down to me. What do you think? I didn't lie, did I?"
Sun Wukong looked at Lu Ye with eyes full of admiration, and that look was so bright!
"Hahaha! You little monkey!" Lu Ye touched Sun Wukong's head and was pleased by his eyes.
Sun Wukong did not resist, but looked at Lu Ye expectantly: "My lord, please let me out."
"I am almost dying of boredom at the foot of this mountain. Please help me, great immortal."
Lu Ye put away his smile and looked at him: "You monkey, I can let you out."
But what about the two loan saints taught in the West?
Even though those two loan saints were extremely shameless, that was only directed at other people. Those two loan saints had always been respectful to him.
If he took away the protagonist of the Western Religion's prosperity, wouldn't the two loan saints come to him and cry?
Ask him why this great celestial being is so biased and why he says that people in the West are suffering.
Alas, you can’t have too good a relationship with some people, otherwise you will be restricted everywhere.
Someone is praising you, welcoming you with a smile and offering himself to you to hit him. Can you still kill him?
When Sun Wukong heard Lu Ye's words, he was overjoyed: "Really? Thank you, Immortal, thank you, Immortal!"
"I knew that I would feel close to the Immortal. It turns out that the Immortal is my benefactor. No wonder I feel so close to him!" Sun Wukong looked at Lu Ye and really felt that there was an aura about Lu Ye that made him feel very familiar.
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. In the prehistoric world view, Sun Wukong's origin was a piece of sky-repairing stone left behind by Nuwa when she was repairing the sky in ancient times. After several twists and turns, it landed on the ancestral vein of Dongsheng Shenzhou.
Receiving the essence of the sun and the moon, the essence of heaven and earth, and being nourished by the ancestral veins of China.
If you really look into it carefully, it does have a certain relationship with Lu Ye. After all, Nuwa is his Taoist partner, and Sun Wukong was born from the Sky-Repairing Stone refined by Nuwa.
It is reasonable to say that there is some causal and mysterious relationship between the two.
"You little monkey, I can let you out, but what are you going to do after you come out?" Lu Ye asked.
Sun Wukong's eyes were fierce: "That damned bald donkey actually dared to deceive me, I will go back to find my master and avenge me."
Lu Ye thought of Patriarch Bodhi, the virtuous corpse of two saints from the West. Would it be useful for Sun Wukong to look for him?
Patriarch Bodhi may love this little monkey very much, but his original self is quite different.
The relationship is complex and difficult to explain clearly.
Lu Ye could only shake his head: "No, I'm afraid your master can't help you."
Sun Wukong was stunned, then looked at Lu Ye eagerly: "Great Immortal, do you know my master? How is my master doing recently?"
Lu Ye curled his lips. Should I say that he is indeed a childhood idol? His character and personality are both excellent.
Not only do I respect my teachers, I also understand many things and will abide by them.
"Don't worry, your master will be fine. But I can't tell you the reason."
It’s really hard to say much. Although Patriarch Bodhi is selfish towards the monkey, he really loves the monkey. The monkey is the absolute protagonist in the Journey to the West.
In the sequel to Journey to the West, the monkey was even directly named the ancestor of all Buddhas, which indeed shows how much Bodhi values the monkey.
Overall, Monkey King gained a lot of benefits during his journey to the West.
Sun Wukong asked again and again: "Great Immortal, Great Immortal, when can I come out? Do I really have to protect that bastard monk to obtain the scriptures?"
Sun Wukong saw Lu Ye's dilemma, and he didn't say anything and asked Lu Ye to let him out.
Although the Monkey King is a monkey, he actually knows everything.
Lu Ye glanced at Sun Wukong and said, "Who said you have to protect Tang Seng on his quest for Buddhist scriptures? Aren't you also a Buddhist pilgrim?"
Is the protagonist in Journey to the West important? Yes! Extremely important!
Because every time a catastrophe occurs, there will be a protagonist who will play the role. Only they can resolve the crisis of the catastrophe and make the ancient world more perfect.
Why did Buddhism flourish? Because the West lacked its origins, while the East was too prosperous.
In order to balance the East and the West, the ancient world brought Buddhism to the East, and also transferred part of the East's luck and merits to the West.
Make up for the balance, purify yin and yang, and purify the evil spirit and hostility left in the West by the great catastrophe of Taoism and Demon!
That’s why there was this great catastrophe in Journey to the West.
But the protagonist is not important, at least not to Lu Ye.
As long as the protagonists are still Tang Seng and his companions, it doesn't matter who is in charge. The journey to the West will continue as usual, and the Journey to the West will continue.
The fact that Tang Sanzang was in charge was simply because Tathagata was so powerful that he seized the biggest piece of the pie.
As long as the protagonist remains unchanged, who takes the lead is just a game played by the people behind the scenes.
Sun Wukong was stunned, but his eyes flickered and he turned around: "The Immortal wants me to go fetch the scriptures?"
Lu Ye's mouth curled up into a smile: "Yes, and no."
"I am asking you to go to the West to obtain the scriptures, but the others must worship you as their master and protect you on your journey to the West to obtain the scriptures."
Sun Wukong was stunned: "Great Immortal, are the other people who are seeking scriptures very strong? I actually need their protection?"
Lu Ye said calmly: "They are weaker than you, and you are stronger than them, so what's wrong with you being their master?
What's wrong with a wise man being a teacher? "
The original distribution of roles in Journey to the West was wrong. How could a weak monk who couldn't even lift a chicken be the master?
This is pure fart!
Now let Sun Wukong be the one to obtain the scriptures, and the others can worship Sun Wukong as their master.
If Zhu Bajie and others are unable to defeat the monsters, then Sun Wukong, the master, will come forward to protect his disciples. Isn't that normal?
No! This is normal! This is how it should be!
How can a teacher need the protection of his apprentice? Aren't teachers supposed to be the ones who walk in the front?
If one cannot beat his apprentice, what can he teach his apprentice?
Tang Seng was just a person forced by the Western religion to become the leader of the Journey to the West team in order to occupy more luck. If they had the ability, they could have brought out Golden Cicada.
Sun Wukong's eyes lit up and he bared his teeth: "Great Immortal is right, Great Immortal is right. If they dare to ask me to recognize a little monk as their master, then I will knock out all their teeth!"

At this time, Heaven!
The great sage Haotian was inaugurating the Immortal Dynasty in the Lingxiao Palace. The gods in heaven who had been dissatisfied with him changed their attitudes during this period.
No matter whether they were from the orthodox or unorthodox sects, or had backgrounds of other great powers in the ancient times, they all showed extraordinary respect when facing Haotian.
Saints should not be insulted!
Anyone who dares to insult the saint will not be protected even by their saintly master!
The dignity of the saint must never be offended!
"All the immortals, please stand up. What do you want to say today?" Haotian sat high in the Lingxiao Palace with a warm smile on his face. He was a great saint, so why did he have to have a stern face like before? The majesty of a saint was not in his demeanor.
But it lies in his strength.
As long as he is strong enough, no matter how childish or ridiculous he behaves, who would dare to laugh at him?
All the immortals and gods in heaven heard Haotian's words and shook their heads: "Great Lord, we have nothing to report."
Haotian naturally knew that nothing was happening at the moment. If something had happened, he, as a saint, would have known it long ago.
But, suddenly...
Qianliyan and Shunfenger rushed in: "Reporting to the Great Heavenly Venerable, the monkey trapped under the Five Finger Mountain..."
Haotian looked over and said, "What monkey? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Qianliyan and Shunfenger were startled, and quickly straightened their manners and said carefully: "Reporting to the Great Heavenly Venerable, the monkey who caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago is in trouble. Report to the Great Heavenly Venerable!"
Originally, there was a hint of displeasure on Haotian's face. How could these two people act so recklessly? They were old men in the Heavenly Court, but they were still immature.
But when he heard the next words, he was shocked, and the face behind the twelve-tasseled crown suddenly changed color!
Daoyi Tianzun actually went to the Five Finger Mountain where the monkey was suppressed?
What does Daoyi Tianzun mean by this? Did the monkey offend the Great Tianzun?
That shouldn't be the case. That monkey is just a country bumpkin. Not to mention knowing the Great Celestial Venerable, he can't even recognize all the gods in heaven.
The view of him as the Lord of Heaven is even more ridiculous.
How could such a monkey possibly know the Great Heavenly Venerable? Not to mention offending the Great Heavenly Venerable!
"What on earth happened?" Haotian was simply unable to figure out anything about Dao Da Yi Tianzun. After all, his strength was nothing like that of Dao Da Yi Tianzun.
The Great Celestial Venerable is not within the heavenly secrets at all. If he is not within the heavenly secrets, how can it be counted?
He was a little surprised that Thousand-Li Eyes and Wind-Hearing Ears could see the situation of Dao-Da Da Tianzun, but he was soon relieved.
If the Great Taoist Priest does not hide himself, the supernatural powers of clairvoyance and super hearing can indeed discover the Great Taoist Priest.
“Reporting to the Great Celestial Venerable, it was the Great Celestial Venerable who suddenly went to the Five Fingers Mountain and met the monkey, followed by the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara.
Then he was slapped away by Daoyi Da Tianzun, and now Daoyi Da Tianzun is still talking to the monkey!
The mountain gods and the land gods dare not show up, and the Five Jiedis are hiding aside and trembling!" Qianliyan said excitedly.
The Five Jiedis were Buddhists, so seeing these people being humiliated, the two Qianliyans were of course gloating over their misfortune.
However, Haotian's face changed, thinking that the Great Celestial Master actually went to find the monkey. Could it be that the Great Celestial Master had some ideas about the calamity of Journey to the West?
That’s really great!
They have long been dissatisfied with Buddhism. What with the thriving of Buddhism and Western religions? It's so frustrating.
"Explore further and see what the Great Celestial Venerable thinks of that monkey." Haotian was a little conflicted. He had acted out a play in collaboration with the West and tricked the monkey.
If the Great Celestial Master wants to help that monkey...
Don't forget, the monkey does have some relationship with Nuwa! Although not very close, it is also a creature born from Nuwa's cause and effect.
It makes sense to worship Nuwa as the supreme being.
As for being a mother, Nuwa might be reluctant. After all, what's the point of being just a little monkey?
"Reporting to the Great Heavenly Master, the Great Heavenly Master had a very pleasant conversation with the monkey and even said that he would let the monkey out!" Shunfenger said directly.
Haotian could no longer sit still. He didn't expect that the Great Heavenly Venerable would be so close to the monkey. No, he had to go and take a look.
By the way, explain it to the monkey so as not to misunderstand.
The Great Lord was probably going to keep the monkey as a pet, wasn't he? To be honest, the monkey was furry, golden, and very cute.
He's just a little naughty and too monkeyish.
~
"Greetings to the Great Heavenly Lord!"
Lu Ye and Monkey were chatting when Haotian suddenly appeared beside them and bowed deeply.
As for the saying that after becoming a saint, one becomes disrespectful to the Great Heavenly Venerable, that has never happened.
The more powerful you are, the more you can understand the unfathomable depth of the Great Celestial Venerable.
Haotian just wants to follow behind the Great Lord forever, and by the way, go to another world to see the excitement of another self.
When Sun Wukong found out that the Jade Emperor showed up here, he got really mad: "Ka-ka-ka! Old Jade Emperor! Liar! You and that old bald donkey actually came to trick me into giving you a monkey."
When Haotian heard what Sun Wukong said, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You monkey, when have I ever lied to you?"
The Jade Emperor of ancient times, also known as Haotian, was not frightened by the Monkey King who made trouble in Heaven and had to hide under the table.
He is the Great Celestial Lord! Apart from the saint and the teacher, who else could make him lose his composure like this?
"Ah my! You said you didn't lie to me..." Sun Wukong wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lu Ye.
"Okay, monkey, stop talking about this."
Lu Ye is one of the only two people from whom Sun Wukong can feel truly warm. The first is his Master Bodhi, and the second is Lu Ye.
He is the clever stone monkey, born with a sharp mind, and can naturally tell who is good to him and who is not.
Of course he could feel how good Lu Ye was to him, and naturally he didn't want to disappoint Lu Ye, so he kept silent.
"Great Lord, this is..." Haotian asked Lu Ye respectfully.
Sun Wukong looked at this scene, his eyes flashed with a hint of disbelief and surprise!
He stared at Lu Ye blankly, not understanding who the person in front of him was!
Of course the Jade Emperor knows who it is, the Lord of the Three Realms!
Even the old bald donkey Tathagata had to be respectful when meeting the Jade Emperor.
How powerful is Tathagata! He is the great king of Buddhism. There are so many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and he is not sure he can defeat any of them.
But even such people have to be respectful to the Jade Emperor, but now the Jade Emperor is being so respectful to the person who fed him the fruit...
Hiss! Who is this kind person?
The monkey felt that he might have met some great figure, who might be even more powerful than his Bodhi Patriarch.
~
Facing Haotian's question, Lu Ye said calmly: "I am going to release Sun Wukong."
Sun Wukong held his breath for a moment, his eyes filled with excitement.
Haotian was also stunned for a moment, but did not refute at all.
No matter what the Great Heavenly Venerable wants to do, he will support it 100%!
"Listen to the Great Lord, I will release the monkey right now." Haotian said directly.
Lu Ye said: "Listen to me, I plan to let Sun Wukong be the master of the group, and everyone else will worship Sun Wukong as their master and protect the disciples on their journey to the West to obtain the scriptures." (End of this chapter)
