The Intelligent Stone Monkey was already a certain choice, but the candidate for Scripture Seeker had never been conclusively decided, preferring not to waste fortunes on outsiders.
As the current public leader of Buddhism, of course, he wanted more Merit Points. He had thought about it before, deciding to let his own disciple do it.
The only question was which one? He had not given it much thought before, as the monkey's troubles had already kept him busy enough. Where did he have the time to deal with this?
Now, the monkey had already ensnared himself, and suppressing him was as easy as capturing a turtle in a jar.
It was time to put the choice of Scripture Seeker on the agenda.
Have his eldest disciple Moksha Kasyapa take the role?
Tathagata shook his head; he was not very optimistic, not because Kasyapa was bad, but rather too good.
His disciple had talent, comprehension, and a gentle nature, gathering many virtues in one being.
