Chapter 331

The Spiritually Intelligent Stone Monkey was already long confirmed, but the choice of the Taking the Scriptures person had never been finalized; the fat water does not flow to outsiders' fields.

As the current Buddhist Sect's open master, he naturally wanted more merit; this matter, he had thought of long ago, just let his disciple go.

Only which one, he previously had not thought about; the monkey's broken matters were already enough to keep him busy, where would he have time to manage these? Now, this monkey has already walked into the trap; wanting to suppress him is simply as easy as catching a turtle in a jar.

This Taking the Scriptures person's choice should also be put on the agenda.

Let his big disciple Mahakasyapa come be it? The Tathagata shook his head; he was not very optimistic, not saying Kasyapa is poor, but rather too good.

This big disciple of his has talent, has comprehension, temperament is also gentle; it can be said he gathers many advantages in one body.

Since he transformed Hu into Buddha, joined the Buddhist Sect, accepted Mahakasyapa as disciple, until now, Kasyapa is already Great Luo Initial Phase cultivation.

Such power promotion speed, cannot be said not fast!

Usually Kasyapa handles affairs also conscientiously; if this were ordinary matter, he would directly without second word let Kasyapa go.

But this is Great Western Calamity; compared to other candidates, Taking the Scriptures person must be more strict, because Taking the Scriptures person must undergo reincarnation cultivation heart tempering.

Whole nine lives!

If choose Kasyapa, that is equivalent to directly throwing away Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation; even if Western Journey succeeds, the bestowed merit probably only enough to promote to Great Luo.

Not necessarily catch up to Kasyapa own normal cultivation; truly somewhat putting the cart before the horse, so this big disciple, not suitable.

And his second disciple Jin Chanzi... mind emerges Jin Chanzi's figure; Tathagata's heart somewhat moved.

This second disciple of his true body is a Six-Winged Golden Cicada; this already belongs to top-grade root and foot; plus Jin Chanzi's astonishing comprehension of Buddhist Dharma, in talent probably even surpasses Kasyapa by a notch.

However, Jin Chanzi this temperament truly somewhat unorthodox; learning things yet cannot calm heart; always comes thinking various messy random things; moreover often utters shocking words.

Jin Chanzi towards cultivation aspect even more not attentive; so these many years passed, only a Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation.

If say, let Jin Chanzi act as Taking the Scriptures person choice still comparatively suitable.

Taking the Scriptures person needs reincarnation cycle, experience hardships to correct innate talent.

Although in mortal flesh body time, past life experiences irrelevant; but when Great Calamity ends, heaven bestows merit to elevate cultivation after, all memories will together awaken.

After nine lives tempering, Tathagata believes, this certainly can eliminate, or greatly improve Jin Chanzi's temperament.

Plus Jin Chanzi merely a Taiyi Golden Immortal; yet Western Journey merit can directly cause him promote to Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Can say, Jin Chanzi is couldn't be more suitable Taking the Scriptures person choice!

Tathagata secretly nodded; heart already decided; as for whether Jin Chanzi himself wishes, this not important.

Able to smoothly complete Journey to the West Great Prosperity undertaking is most important!

Tathagata gaze tranquil; then taking advantage of this banquet opportunity, handle the matter.

... "How is it? This side is my Buddhist Sect's Hall of Abstinence, not bad right"

Maitreya led Sun Wukong arrived at a very large Vegetarian Courtyard.

Red brick high walls, quite a few parts majesty.

Cooking smoke curling, even more adds a trace of human vitality.

Sun Wukong took in the scene before his eyes completely; nodding.

"Looking still not bad"

Sun Wukong casually said; however in his heart, no matter how good-looking still not as good as Chaos Residence.

As Maitreya pushed door and entered, originally in Hall of Abstinence busy monks at once noticed the one Buddha one monkey before them.

"Buddha Ancestor"

All monks hurriedly lowered heads performed Buddhist Salutation.

As for Sun Wukong, all monks however did not acknowledge; they also didn't know this monkey is which one.

Maitreya nodded, stretched hand pointing at Sun Wukong: "This is my Buddhist Sect specially hired, during banquet period Head Chef Great Chef"

Great Chef? All monks stunned; they although all know this matter, Buddha Ancestor actually says Head Chef is this monkey? This too absurd!

All monks very puzzled; such major banquet, not let them here cooking skill best Head Chef also just let it be, actually still found a monkey.

A child's play nothing more than this!

If something goes wrong, then suffer ridicule will be them Buddhist Sect!

All monks hearts all more or less some worry; but before Buddha Ancestor,

they also dare not say anything.

"Come come come, Wukong, quickly make Almsgiving Monk some food to eat"

Maitreya sticking out belly, very impatient.

Sun Wukong rolled eyes: "I just arrived; you can't not let me rest a while right"

This too lacks monkey nature!

Maitreya face added few parts ingratiating color: "Rest rest rest!

Of course let rest"

Cooking are all grandpas!

Made Hall of Abstinence all monks stare dumbfounded; this Maitreya Buddha Ancestor why towards this monkey so attentive Sun Wukong did not acknowledge Maitreya; instead facing all monks cupped fists, grinned: "I called Sun Wukong; am helping you all make banquet dishes!

Please guide me"

"A Mi Tuo Fo"

All monks slightly perfunctory returned salute.

Towards Sun Wukong, they not welcome; for this Buddhist Dharma Feast they also prepared long time; result yet temporarily decided change Head Chef? Still this before eyes looking extremely unreliable monkey.

If change to Heavenly Court still named Food and Stove Gods come they perhaps still would accept.

"Alright alright"

Maitreya waved hand, dismissed: "You all go side hall; Almsgiving Monk and Great Chef Sun Wukong still have important matter discuss"

"Respectfully obey Divine Edict"

The monks responded and left.

"What do you want to tell me, Old Grandson?"

Sun Wukong asked doubtfully: "Is there something that can't be said directly?"

Maitreya chuckled and patted his belly: "Naturally, it's this matter. If they saw the Almsgiving Monk always eating meat, it would be bad."

Sun Wukong twitched the corner of his mouth: "You've already broken the precepts—what are you afraid of?"

"Old Grandson may not have seen it with my own eyes, but I've also heard that at the Peach Banquet, you ate meat with such relish, even finishing off the hot pot in one go."

"If you say that out loud, who would believe it?"

"Ah."

Maitreya glared, solemn and righteous: "What does breaking the precepts mean? The Almsgiving Monk's meat passes through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart."

Good partner!

Sun Wukong felt somewhat speechless in his heart; this was still quite proud.

"When I first said that, it was just to coax you."

Sun Wukong spread his hands, nothing more than seeing Maitreya's earlier hesitation to eat meat despite wanting to, and casually adding fuel to the fire.

"No."

Maitreya shook his head, wearing a stern expression: "Sun Wukong, you don't know how profound the Buddhist truth in your words is. Since the Peach Banquet, the Almsgiving Monk has kept this saying in mind and practiced it at all times."

As long as he has the Buddha in his heart, even if he eats more meat, what then? "Okay, okay."

Sun Wukong quickly interrupted Maitreya, lest he say something else if allowed to continue.

"What do you want to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Maitreya's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly said: "The Almsgiving Monk wants to eat that hot pot."

The taste of the hot pot last time was truly unforgettable, so delicious, and the portion was large—satisfying and more than enough!

Sun Wukong shook his head without hesitation: "Can't eat it."
