In an instant, Sun Wukong thought of his havoc in the Heavenly Palace. He was about to stop, but the Western Heavens group seemed to have fixated on him, trapping him there.
Moreover, the Tathagata Buddha disregarded his reputation, even though Sun Wukong had refused the bet at the time.
Logically, even if he were to be punished for causing chaos in the Heavenly Palace, it should have been the Heavenly Court punishing him. Why was the Tathagata Buddha constantly targeting Sun Wukong, not even giving him a chance to explain, and directly suppressing him under the Five Finger Mountain?
Although Sun Wukong was naive, he knew that something abnormal must be afoot. He knew this basic idea.
However, he had been thinking about it here for four or five hundred years without understanding.
Sun Wukong's face showed surprise and doubt as he asked, "What do you mean by this, brother?"
Chu Hao chuckled, "Don't worry. Let me ask you, do you think it was reasonable for you to be a弼马温 (Bi Ma Wen, a low-ranking horse keeper)?"
Sun Wukong's face instantly fell, "Brother, don't humiliate me again, that is my unbearable past."
Chu Hao smiled faintly, "Not only that, let me ask you again, was it reasonable to let you guard the Peach Orchard?"
Sun Wukong said aggrievedly:
"I, Old Sun, am just a monkey. That Jade Emperor knew it clearly, but he insisted on placing Old Sun in the Peach Orchard. It's not my fault."
Chu Hao: "The Heavenly Court has always matched strength with position. What strength corresponds to what position. Even a True Immortal can be the General Commander of the Heavenly Soldiers Camp. But to let a dignified Taiyi Golden Immortal be a弼马温, isn't that very strange?
In addition, even a fool knows that letting a monkey guard the Peach Orchard is just letting you steal the peaches. What do you think is going on here?"
Sun Wukong lowered his head, then raised it again, his face grim, gnashing his teeth,
"You mean, that dog-[expletive] Jade Emperor, he just wanted to humiliate Old Sun?!"
Chu Hao smiled and shook his head,
"Look at where you are now? And look at the Five Finger Mountain, whose golden talisman is pasted on it? Who are the people guarding you here?"
Sun Wukong instantly reacted,
"Are you saying that everything was the idea of that group of bald donkeys from the Western Heavens? The Tathagata Buddha?"
"Sun Wukong, not all grievances have a starting point. Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs!
I can tell you the truth, you were already arranged clearly before you were even born."
Sun Wukong pondered for three seconds.
But he found that he simply could not accept the reality that Chu Hao was talking about.
Sun Wukong shook his head fiercely, looking at Chu Hao,
"Impossible, impossible! Old Sun is just a stone monkey, born from heaven and earth, with no karma with them. Why would they harm me? Moreover, Old Sun has come all the way, and has nothing to do with the Western Heavens, no karma. Your Excellency, Prison God, don't talk nonsense!"
Chu Hao chuckled, "Still saying you have no karma? You are too naive!"
Chu Hao took a sip of tea before saying slowly:
"You were born in the Flower Fruit Mountain of the Aolai Country in the East Victory Divine Continent of the Saha World. This mountain is the ancestor of the ten continents and the source of the three islands. It was established after the separation of clarity and turbidity, and formed after the judgment of Hongmeng.
And you were born from the immortal stone left over from Pangu's creation of the world. It is located on the ancestral veins of the Ten Continents and Three Islands, its height encompassing the twenty-four solar terms, and its orifices corresponding to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams."
"Born with a complete Zhou Tian, and even falling on the ancestral veins, and the orifices above the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, do you think it is a coincidence?"
Chu Hao looked directly into Sun Wukong's eyes and asked, "Do you know whose territory the central Saha World is?"
Sun Wukong was stunned for a full three seconds before staring and saying:
"The Saha Pure Land? Could it be the Tathagata Buddha's territory!"
Chu Hao nodded, "That's right."
Sun Wukong instantly fell into self-doubt, shaking his head desperately,
"Impossible, impossible! So, I am actually a stone monkey personally placed by the Tathagata Buddha on the ancestral veins, nurtured by thousands of Dharma techniques?! Is he my dad?!"
Chu Hao laughed out loud with a 'chi'.
"You still like to recognize fathers? But you don't need to worry. Since you are an immortal stone left over since the creation of the world, your parents should be the Hongmeng world. Even if the Tathagata doesn't nurture you, you will be born sooner or later."
"It's just that the Tathagata moved you to the Saha Pure Land and raised you."
Sun Wukong only felt that his worldview had been greatly impacted.
In that case, he was brought to Flower Fruit Mountain by the Tathagata Buddha even before he was born.
At the center of the ancestral veins of the Ten Continents and the source of the Three Islands, nourished day and night by the essence of the sun and moon, he was simply nurtured?
Seeing Sun Wukong fall into shock, Chu Hao continued:
"You said you have no karma, but your life is full of karma from the Western Heavens. Where do you think the spells you practice come from?"
Sun Wukong recovered from the shock and hurriedly said:
"My spells are from Bodhi… no, I can't say. My master said that no matter what happens in the future, I can't say his name."
Chu Hao chuckled,
"I didn't expect you to be quite affectionate and keep your promises? But, if you don't say it, I'll say it for you."
"You enjoyed yourself innocently in Flower Fruit Mountain. After three or four hundred years, in order to seek the method of immortality, you drifted for more than ten years, and finally became a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi of the Crescent Moon Three Stars Cave, and got the name Sun Wukong!
And learned the way of longevity, seventy-two transformations, and somersault cloud, etc., which took twenty years. Later, because of showing off his skills, he was expelled from the school by Patriarch Bodhi. Is that right?"
Sun Wukong was completely stunned on the spot as Chu Hao stated all the incidents of his life word by word.
His face was full of surprise and confusion. He dared to be sure that he had never said his master's name in his life, let alone in such detail that even the time limit for finding the Crescent Moon Three Stars Cave was known!
However, Chu Hao truly and accurately stated all his life events, word for word!
Sun Wukong looked at Chu Hao in shock, stammering:
"Brother Prison God, how do you know? Could it be... are you from the same school as me?"
Chu Hao shook his head faintly,
"I don't have the ability to become a disciple of a Western saint."
Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, looking at Chu Hao suspiciously,
"Brother, what did you just say? You said something wrong, right? My master, Patriarch Bodhi, is a person of the Taoist school. What he taught me is all Taoist magic. How could he be a Western saint?"
Chu Hao stared at Sun Wukong and said word by word:
"Sun Wukong, you must know that Buddhism is originally Taoism."
"The two Western Saints: Zhunti and Jieyin, were both once members of the Taoist school."
"It's just that Jieyin transformed into Amitabha, and Zhunti stayed away from the world, leaving only three corpses in the world."
"That Patriarch Bodhi is Taoist Zhunti! You can cultivate such skills, which is also the karma of the Buddhist school. You still say that you can't get a bit of karma?"
