Guanyin remained silent for a few seconds.
"Sudhana certainly needs to be bound by precepts. But this is for your own good. A mortal being with a demonic body faces endless calamities. Taking refuge in Buddhism can avert all calamities."
"That's not what I'm asking you," Red Boy raised his voice. "I'm asking you, is the golden headband real? Is it true that my demonic nature has been erased? Is it true that I can't go home to see my mother?"
Guanyin did not give a direct answer.
"On the path of spiritual practice, one must always give up something."
You didn't answer me.
"Buddhism has its own rules..."
"Answer me!" Red Boy's Samadhi True Fire burst forth from his shoulder, and the temperature instantly soared.
"Yes."
Guanyin finally uttered a single word.
Just one word.
But to Princess Iron Fan, those words were like a knife.
Princess Iron Fan swayed slightly.
"Yes," Guanyin repeated, her tone still calm. "The golden headband is real. Its demonic nature will gradually dissolve. Those who cultivate should not be attached to worldly affairs. These are traditions of Buddhism for thousands of years. You are not the only one who follows this."
Red Boy stared at Guanyin for a long time.
His Samadhi Fire flickered on and off, sometimes large, sometimes small, on his body.
He was suppressing his emotions.
"What about the second way?" Red Boy turned to look at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen shrugged.
"The second option is that you don't want to go. You can stay on Mount Hao, go with your mother, or come live at my manor. Continue being your Holy Infant King, continue practicing your Samadhi True Fire, and continue eating, drinking, and having fun on Mount Hao."
"What are the benefits? Freedom. You can do whatever you want, go wherever you want. You are still you, and no one can change you."
"What will be the price? The Buddhist sect won't let you off easily. You rejected the Bodhisattva, so all the tribulations on your journey to the West will have to be changed. The Buddhist sect will remember this. Your future days may not be easy."
"Furthermore, if you don't go, you'll have to find your own way to improve your cultivation. Although the Buddhist path doesn't offer freedom, the resources for cultivation are real. If you stay on Mount Hao, your cultivation will depend entirely on yourself. Whether you can withstand the storms of the Three Realms in the future depends on your own abilities."
Red Boy finished listening.
Two ways.
One is a golden cage, luxurious and exquisite, but one can never get out.
One is a wild mountain peak, battered by wind and rain, but the world is yours to roam.
Red Boy lowered his head and thought for a long time.
The fire-tipped spear spun around in his hand.
Guanyin stood there, without urging anyone.
Princess Iron Fan stood there, her lips bitten until they turned white, but she didn't say a word.
She knew that this choice had to be made by Red Boy himself.
Lu Chen is right.
We can't choose for him.
Once you choose for him, what's the difference between that and Guanyin forcibly taking him in?
His fate was decided by others.
Regardless of whether the starting point is good or bad.
It is wrong to decide someone else's fate.
A long time passed.
Perhaps the time it takes to burn an incense stick.
It might take longer.
Red Boy raised his head.
He glanced at Guanyin first.
"Buddha."
"Um."
You said that converting to Buddhism can lead to enlightenment.
"Yes."
"To live forever."
"Yes."
"It can avert all calamities."
"Yes."
"But I can't go home to see my mother."
"Practitioners should sever their attachments to worldly desires."
Red Boy nodded.
Then he turned his head.
He looked at Princess Iron Fan.
Princess Iron Fan met Red Boy's gaze.
The mother and son stared at each other from several feet apart.
Princess Iron Fan said nothing.
But her tears kept flowing.
Red Boy grinned.
That smile was very short.
But it's very real.
He turned around and looked at Guanyin.
"Bodhisattva, thank you for thinking so highly of me."
"But I'm not going."
Guanyin's hand tightened slightly.
"Have you thought this through?"
"I've thought it through."
Do you know what you're giving up?
"I know. Immortality, attainment of enlightenment, and freedom from all calamities." Red Boy slammed his Fire-Tipped Spear into the ground, the butt of the spear sinking half a foot into the soil.
"But I only have one mother."
What's the use of immortality?

"It's better to live for a hundred years and see my mother every day than to live for ten thousand years and never see her again."
"Bodhisattva, find someone else to serve you, Sudhana."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Princess Iron Fan.
Red Boy reached out and tugged at Princess Iron Fan's sleeve as he approached her.
"daughter."
"Don't cry."
"I'm not going anywhere."
Princess Iron Fan finally couldn't hold back anymore.
She hugged Red Boy tightly, squatted down, and burst into tears.
The crying made the entire mountain tremble.
Red Boy was being strangled by his mother, his face turning red, but he couldn't break free.
He simply patted Princess Iron Fan on the back.
"Okay, okay, stop crying... You're strangling me..."
Guanyin stood still.
A willow branch and a vase hang by my side.
The dew at the mouth of the bottle had completely receded.
She looked at the mother and child embracing each other, her expression complex.
It's not anger.
It's not that I'm unwilling to accept it.
It was something she herself couldn't explain.
It was as if a crack had been pried open in some unyielding belief.
A very small crack.
But enough to let the wind in.
"Lu Chen".
"Um."
"You win."
"I didn't win." Lu Chen shook his head.
"He chose it himself."
"It has nothing to do with me."
Guanyin glanced at Lu Chen.
He didn't say anything.
Turn around.
A white light appeared.
A white streak of light drifted away towards the South China Sea.
They walked very fast.
It's as if they don't want to stay here for even a second longer.
Sun Wukong leaned against a tree, watching the white light disappear into the horizon.
"Your son has guts."
Red Boy peeked half his head out from Princess Iron Fan's arms.
"Uncle Monkey! Of course I'm brave! I'm the son of the Bull Demon King!"
Sun Wukong chuckled.
Nezha jumped down from the tree and ran to Red Boy.
"You're Red Boy?"
Who are you?
Nezha.
"Nezha? The Nezha who returned his bones to his father?"
"that is."
Red Boy looked Nezha up and down.
You look shorter than me.
"You're the short one!"
"I'm half a head taller than you!"
"That's your hair!"
The two of them were exchanging words, and they were about to start fighting again.
Princess Iron Fan stopped crying and started laughing.
Lu Chen watched this scene unfold.
He sat down on a rock and pulled out a roasted sweet potato that he had somehow put in his pocket.
cold.
But he still took a bite.
I chewed it.
Watching the morning light gradually spread across Mount Hao in the distance.
"Let's go."
"Back to the mountain villa."
...........
When we returned to Wuwu Mountain Villa, the sun was already high in the sky.
Pigsy stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking anxious.
"I'm back! I'm back! How did it go? Did it work?"
Sun Wukong somersaulted to the ground and lowered Princess Iron Fan from the cloud.
"It's done."
Pigsy breathed a sigh of relief.
Then his gaze fell on Red Boy.
Then it landed on the Samadhi True Fire that was dancing on Red Boy's shoulder.
Then it landed on the vegetable patch behind it.
"This...this child...the fire on his body..."
"Samadhi True Fire." Red Boy strode casually into the courtyard. "What's wrong?"
"Can we destroy it?"
"cannot."
Why?
"Warm up." Red Boy shrugged his shoulders, and the flames shot up two inches higher. "I've been flying all the way, I need to stretch my legs."
