Chapter 184 Equality and Justice

A trace of fluctuation in Maitreya Buddha's eyes passed quickly, and he felt that things had developed unexpectedly.

The reason why he recalled the wild-branched monkeys was because he had calculated that the secret that should be clear at a glance began to be confused and unclear.

The journey of the four masters and disciples of Tang Sanzang to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures is related to the great prosperity of Buddhism. Now that it has entered the second half, no mistakes can be made.

He quickly wanted to warn the monkey ear to be careful of any accidents.

Yang Jiao looked at Maitreya Buddha calmly and understood that the master in front of him probably had no relationship with him.

Otherwise, in the original plot, the monkey initially told everything he was thinking, but instead said that he had not given up on worldly fame and fortune, and was punished to copy scriptures.

Thus burying the obsession deeply, just waiting for others to water and fertilize.

Later, there happened to be Huang Mei, a senior brother who treated the monkey very well, but his temperament that liked to stir up trouble directly caused the monkey's obsession to emerge and cause trouble for Sun Wukong in the lower world.

Later, the monkey fought with Sun Wukong, was captured by him, and was brought back to Maitreya Dojo.

Maitreya Buddha also had no sympathy for the monkeys, so he imposed heavy punishments and sealed them into the gourd at the two poles of yin and yang. However, the gourd fell into the hands of the crow spirit related to Sun Wukong.

The more Yang Jiao thought about it, the more he felt that there was a lot of shady stuff inside, judging from the final outcome.

All the experiences of the monkeys not only saved the lives of those who sought the scriptures, but also took the opportunity to bring back the merits of the Arhat Who Crouched the Tiger, killing two birds with one stone.

Then he knew that all this was a conspiracy. Why did Maitreya Buddha accept him as his disciple? It was basically for the benefit of Buddhism.

Perhaps in his eyes, the Brachiolobus monkey itself is the tool man of the journey to the West, and the cattle and horses in the future Buddhism.

Naturally, he wouldn't take it to heart, so how could he talk about the friendship between master and disciple? Moreover, how could a mere Arhat in the future be able to get into the eyes of the future Buddha?

Will the strong put themselves in the shoes of the weak, will they?

Judging from what Maitreya Buddha has done, obviously not.

"Amitabha, Tong-armed Ape, you have entered the wrong path because of the anger in your heart. You need to know that the sea of ​​suffering is boundless and you can turn back and find the shore."

Maitreya Buddha pondered for a while:

"Now go and copy the scriptures to put your mind at ease."

"yes."

Yang Jiao's eyes flashed slightly, and he turned and left.

Maitreya Buddha looked deeply at Yang Jiao's leaving figure, not knowing what he was thinking.

Although there was another plan to accept this monkey as a disciple, in the end, it was considered mutually beneficial. In the end, it also gave this monkey a positive result, so he immediately gave up on it.

In a Zen room.

Yang Jiao seemed to be copying scriptures, but in fact his thoughts were scattered and he was thinking silently.

Judging from the fact that Maitreya Buddha still asked him to copy scriptures, he was determined to let himself follow the path planned by Buddhism in order to let him die completely.

Immediately, the remaining friendship for Maitreya Buddha in Yang Jiao's heart completely disappeared.

"Hehe, you are really useless. You are here to copy scriptures for punishment. I am different. I will follow the scripture collectors to get the Western scriptures and slay demons."

Suddenly, a monkey's head appeared on the paper on which the scriptures were copied.

"Senior Brother Huang Mei, stop making trouble."

In an instant, a man wearing a cassock with yellow hair and yellow eyebrows appeared.

"Junior brother, is this the Taoist practice that has improved again? You actually found out it was me at a glance."

"But it's useless. I don't want to stay here and copy scriptures."

Huang Mei was surprised at first, then a little downcast, and then looked indignant:

"What's so great about Sun Wukong? He destroyed the book of life and death, caused havoc in the heavenly palace, insulted the Buddha, and caused all kinds of great disasters. But he can also go and obtain the Western Sutra and become a Buddha."

"It's really ridiculous. Junior brother should just go away."

"Moreover, you two are of the same kind. You are both the four monkeys in the world. One is a spiritual stone monkey, and the other is a monkey. In terms of qualifications, you are exactly the same."

"In terms of Taoism and Dharma cultivation, I'm afraid I'm far better than him now."

"Junior brother, in my opinion, you should have a battle with Sun Wukong to let everyone know that Sun Wukong is not as good as you. Then, let's see who dares to change your Monkey General Pavilion into some kind of Great Sage Pavilion."

Faced with Huang Mei's eloquent provocation, Yang Jiao was a little speechless. If he hadn't known that his senior brother was just watching the excitement and not being afraid of trouble, he would have really thought that he was trying to provoke him into disaster.

When I think of the original plot line, Huang Mei was able to kill his master and fall from immortal to demon in order to save himself.

Yang Jiao sighed:

"Let's go."

"Um, where are you going?" Huang Mei was confused by Yang Jiao's sudden words.

"Didn't Senior Brother say that I should go down to the next world to fight Sun Wukong?"

Yang Jiao grabbed Huang Mei's shoulders, and the two of them immediately disappeared.

Suddenly, a light flashed on the slip of Yang Jiao's copy of the sutra, and a scroll appeared.

Suddenly, a fat figure appeared in the Zen room.

It was Maitreya Buddha. As his own dojo, he naturally knew everything in the dojo.

Previously, he had inadvertently revealed the story of the monkey to Huang Mei, because he knew his eldest disciple's temperament and would definitely fight for his junior disciple's injustice, thus luring him to the lower realm.

But Maitreya thought about the previous conversation between the two and couldn't help but feel worried. He was deeply afraid that his second disciple would not play his cards according to the routine. This was related to the great cause of Buddhism.

The monkey is one of the catastrophes destined by fate, and it is absolutely impossible to avoid it, so it is always paying attention to everything that happens in the meditation room.

Fortunately, everything is back on track now.

Immediately, Maitreya Buddha waved his hand, and the scroll on the document spread out in mid-air.

You can see that the scroll is not a beautiful and graceful landscape calligraphy and painting.

But two simple pictures.

In one picture, there are three men of different heights, middle school and low, vividly appearing on the paper.

There was a low wall in front of them. The three of them were facing the wall as if they were looking at something, and there was a box standing under each person's feet to increase their field of vision and enable them to better see the scenery outside the wall.

Therefore, it can be seen in the picture that the tallest man and the middle-sized man are tall enough to see the scenery outside the wall.

Even if the shortest man stood on the box, he could not see the scene outside because of his lack of height.

Another picture.

At this time, the box at the feet of the tallest man was moved to the feet of the shortest man, so that the two boxes overlapped.

The shortest man is able to see the scene outside the wall, while the tall man cannot see outside the wall because he is tall enough and does not lose the box.

I saw equality written on the front picture, and justice written on the back picture.

Such a simple scroll made Maitreya Buddha, who was in the golden fairyland, stunned.

"The so-called law of the jungle is an incentive for the weak, not a reason for the strong to bully the weak."

"In the face of hopeless people, we can impose severe punishments to set the record straight."

"In the face of injustice and partiality, tolerance will only make others worse."

In the scroll, Yang Jiao's voice suddenly appeared and paused:

"The world slanders me, bullies me, insults me, laughs at me, belittles me, despises me, hates me, and deceives me. How should I deal with it?"

"Be patient with him, let him, let him, avoid him, be patient with him, respect him, ignore him, stay for a few more years, and you can take a look at him."

"Tolerance is not the path I want to take."

"Since the Buddha cannot give me equality and justice, then I will get it myself."
