Chapter 287: Saving Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong
"Little monk, I don't know. I saw my apprentice being bullied before. How could I, the master, stand by and watch? I felt anxious, and suddenly there were many memories in my mind, and then a very powerful force burst out out of nowhere."
"Then the power dissipated, and the young monk fainted from exhaustion."
Tang Seng said calmly.
"Oh, what additional memories are there?" Ran Deng frowned.
"There are many, very messy. Most of them are memories of Chang'an City, which seem to be from several previous lives. I seem to have two names - Golden Cicada and Six-winged Golden Cicada."
"I dare to ask Buddha, who is this young monk?"
Tang Seng asked, pretending not to know.
Ran Deng frowned even more tightly. It seemed that Tang Seng's memory had awakened due to stimulation, but it was just too messy.
"Sanzang, you were originally a six-winged golden cicada, one of the five ancient insects. Later, you made a big mistake and entered Buddhism to save all sentient beings to atone for your sins. Because you bear the destiny, you need to go through ten reincarnations, wash away the cause and effect of your past, and shoulder the important task of traveling westward to obtain scriptures. ”
"When you were the golden cicada, you were a direct disciple of Tathagata Buddha. You traveled to the west to obtain scriptures. You were preaching to all sentient beings, rescuing them from the sea of suffering. You were also awakening the Buddha's way and bringing blessings to the world."
"This trip is important. You have been responsible for disasters. This is your opportunity to atone for your sins and wash away your karmic debts. Don't be overly emotional and use powerful force to ruin the great cause of learning scriptures."
Ran Deng brainwashed Tang Seng carefully.
"That Erlang Shen deceived people too much. Bajie called me master, and Honghong regarded himself as the little monk's grandson. Erlang Shen killed the little monk's grandson, how could the little monk not take revenge." Tang Monk said dissatisfied.
"Then go west to learn scriptures. You can't defeat Yang Jian now and can't take revenge. After completing the westward journey, Buddhism and Taoism will revive and bring down merits. You will all gain powerful power and you can take revenge when the time comes." Ran Deng said.
"Yes, young monk understands. Thank you Lord Buddha for your guidance." Tang Monk bowed.
Ran Deng breathed a sigh of relief. If he couldn't convince Tang Seng, he could only seal Tang Seng's memory, take him back to the Tang Dynasty, seal the memories of Sun Wukong and others, and restart the journey to the west.
But, who knows if doing this will affect the recovery of Buddhism.
Perhaps these are tests given by Buddhism and Taoism, and they tampered with them privately. When the time comes for Journey to the West to fail, they will be doomed.
After all, they have never experienced it. The revival of Buddhism is very important to Buddhism, and they really don’t dare to mess around.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Du came and injected the Tianpeng Yuanshen that he and Lao Jun had taken away into Zhu Bajie's body.
The soul returned to its position, Zhu Bajie's aura surged, soaring directly to the middle stage of Da Luo Jinxian, and he also woke up.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Zhu Bajie's eyes were dim, without any fluctuation like stagnant water, and he seemed to be heartbroken.
"Oh, Tianpeng, cheer up, do you just want to be so negative and sink, not avenge your wife and daughter?" Xuandu sighed.
Hearing this, Zhu Bajie's eyes glowed again and he looked at Guanyin angrily.
"Ahem, Bajie, this poor monk just wants to cut off your love and let you convert to my Buddha better. He just wants to save your wife and daughter to the Lingshan Mountain. He never wants to harm their lives." Guanyin coughed awkwardly.
"Yes, Bajie, although Lingshan means to force you to travel westward, it also intends to cure your daughter. Cause and effect are clear. Guanyin Bodhisattva was also seriously injured to save your wife and daughter." Ran Deng helped comfort her.
Zhu Bajie looked away and closed his eyes. Do you really think he is stupid? If Lingshan hadn't done this, if Yang Jian hadn't been forced by Guanyin, how could his wife and daughter have died?
But after this incident, he has matured. Now, he does not have the strength to take revenge, so he can only endure it for the time being.
When he opened his eyes again, the hatred in Zhu Bajie's eyes had been hidden, and he said: "Thank you Bodhisattva. Please cure Brother Monkey."
Hearing what Zhu Bajie said, Guanyin and Ran Deng breathed a sigh of relief.
Xuandu took out a lot of Nine Revolutions Good Fortune Pills and gave them to Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng and Xiao Bailong for healing.
Guanyin used the congenital Renshui to heal Sun Wukong's injuries. This healing lasted for seventy-seven and forty-nine days, and Sun Wukong's limbs and meridians were finally connected.
However, Sun Wukong is still unconscious.
After Ran Deng made an inspection, he said: "Wukong's mind seems to have fallen into a deep sleep. Perhaps he was in an epiphany after watching the battle. Perhaps he suffered a heavy blow and felt that he was useless. He was unable to face the reality and fell into a deep sleep."
"Then what should we do now to wake up Brother Monkey?" Zhu Bajie was very anxious.
"We can only find someone whom Wukong trusts very much and enter Wukong's consciousness space to awaken Wukong." Ran Deng said.
After that, he went back to Lingshan to find the three-eyed monkey. However, the three-eyed monkey's spiritual thoughts could not enter Sun Wukong's consciousness space.
This shows that Sun Wukong does not trust the three-eyed monkey so much, and the atmosphere was once awkward.
"Sanzang, why don't you give it a try," Ran Deng said.
Then, Tang Seng couldn’t do it either.
"I'll try." Zhu Bajie volunteered. This time, his mind easily entered Sun Wukong's consciousness space.
In the consciousness space, Sun Wukong's soul is sitting cross-legged on the ground, and above is the scene of Yang Jian and Guanyin fighting.
Zhu Bajie's eyes were wet with tears. They fought and fooled each other every day. Unexpectedly, the person Monkey trusted the most was him.
How could Brother Monkey admit defeat? This was gained from watching Yang Jian fight with the rules of battle.
He did not disturb Brother Monkey and retreated slightly.
"Brother Monkey is in an epiphany, it's okay." Zhu Bajie wiped his tears.
After hearing this, Tang Seng, Sha Seng and Xiao Bailong felt relieved, but Guanyin and Ran Deng looked ugly.
If Sun Wukong breaks through to the quasi-sage, it will be troublesome. How to set up trouble later, we can't let the Buddhas of Lingshan and the gods of heaven be sent out.
Then who can solve the problem?
Guanyin and Ran Deng exchanged messages and planned to destroy Sun Wukong's enlightenment.
Zhu Bajie was already on guard. He greeted Tang Monk and the others with his eyes, and protected Sun Wukong in the middle, guarding against Guanyin and Ran Deng.
Guanyin and Ran Deng were embarrassed for a while, teasing Sun Wukong in front of Tang Monk. Tang Monk was afraid that he would turn around and go back to the Tang Dynasty.
"You watch here, I will go back to Lingshan to discuss with the Buddhas."
The burning lamp sent a message to Guanyin, and turned into a golden rainbow and headed west.
Back in Lingshan, Ran Deng told the story.
"No, we can't let Monkey King break through the Quasi-Saint. The four monkeys in the world are good at fighting and can break through the Quasi-Saint. Even if Monkey Sun doesn't have a powerful magic weapon, he won't be able to defeat the Quasi-Saint with full confidence in the mid-term."
"Besides, Monkey Sun still has Laojun's Diamond Diamond in his hand. Refining it will be troublesome. We don't have so many quasi-sages to solve problems."
"It's all the stupid things Guanyin did. If Journey to the West fails, you three sects and one lineage will be punished."
Maitreya took the opportunity to apply pressure.
In order to gain merit, the three sects and the Western sect had no right to speak about the journey to the West.
"It may not be a bad thing for Monkey Sun to become a quasi-sage. Now we are suppressed by the three religions and the demon clan in conjunction with Heaven. We only have the merit of solving thirty difficulties."
"Now we have the most quasi-sages in Lingshan. If we plan carefully, maybe the merit we gain will exceed thirty difficulties."
Tathagata said cunningly.
