The Liusha River was deserted for hundreds of miles, and for half a month Sun Wukong went to find some fruits for everyone to satisfy their hunger.
It was fine for two days a day, but it became unbearable after a long time. However, Sha Wujing was very happy, which shows how much he suffered in Liusha River.
Just like this, another half month passed. Tathagata learned that Tang Xuanzang and others were delayed in Liusha River, and his helplessness reached the extreme.
"Guanyin, go to Liusha River quickly and see what Tianxing wants to do!"
Tathagata said with anger.
Hearing this, Guanyin did not dare to hesitate at all and hurried there, but Guanyin's heart was already filled with anger, and the continuous attacks were simply too much.
"Disciple Tang Xuanzang pays homage to Master Guanyin."
Sun Wukong, on the other hand, had a sarcastic smile. Every time Guanyin came, Sun Wukong was a little bored.
"Tang Xuanzang, why don't you leave for so long?"
Guanyin suppressed the anger in her heart and forced out a smile.
"Master Guanyin, Wu Jing doesn't want to leave, and the disciples have no choice but to ask Master Guanyin to persuade him."
Tang Xuanzang said very seriously.
Hearing this, although Guanyin had long known that something was wrong with Sha Wujing, he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart after hearing it with his own ears.
"Sha Wujing, you are reluctant to go on the journey and delay your important mission of learning scriptures. Do you know how many people will suffer!"
Guanyin shouted sharply.
"Master Guanyin, I have been suffering in this Liusha River for hundreds of years, and no one has ever cared about me. Now, Master Guanyin has said that he wants me to save people in trouble. Isn't this unreasonable?"
Although Sha Wujing is honest and dull, he is not stupid. Especially after receiving guidance from Qin Feng and seeing Sun Wukong next to him, he became more confident.
Hearing this, Guanyin's expression also changed, knowing that she was not being unreasonable, but delaying it like this was not the way to force Sha Wujing to follow Tang Xuanzang on the road.
"Guanyin, you are just saying these two words back and forth. Can you change it? My old grandson's ears are almost calloused."
"Educating all sentient beings is easy. I, the Third Junior Brother Sun, have been suffering here for hundreds of years, and none of you have appeared. Now it's so easy. How about you try to stay here for hundreds of years?"
Sun Wukong responded unceremoniously.
"Of course I can't stay here. There are still many suffering mortals in the world who need my help."
Guanyin's expression changed, and she had an idea.
"Fake benevolence and righteousness, fake compassion. If you don't want to be treated, just shut up."
Hearing this, Sun Wukong said without any mercy.
"Sun Wukong, you are going too far."
Guanyin immediately said angrily.
"What? If you want to do something, I, Old Sun, will play with you!"
Seeing the magical power filling Guanyin's body, Sun Wukong suddenly became energetic. Two golden lights burst out and looked directly at Guanyin.
Although Guanyin is not weak, she is still nervous when facing Sun Wukong. Besides, Sun Wukong is still needed to go west, so Guanyin does not dare to do anything to Sun Wukong.
"That's all, Sha Wujing, what do you want before you can go west?"
Guanyin knew why Sha Wujing didn't leave, so he immediately asked.
"Master Guanyin, I have been here in Liusha River for hundreds of years, and food and clothing have always been a problem. I don't want anything else. I just want 100,000 merits and some magic weapons."
Sha Wujing had already thought about what benefits he wanted. After Guanyin finished speaking, Sha Wujing spoke directly.
After hearing Sha Wujing's words, the anger in Guanyin's heart was like a volcano erupting. Even if she had 100,000 merits, she would be in pain.
"Okay, wait a moment and I'll give you an answer."
Guanyin gritted his teeth and informed Tathagata about the matter again.
After receiving the news, Tathagata was also full of anger and unwillingness. His journey to the west had just begun. Not only had he lost face, but he was also given benefits one after another, which made Tathagata about to explode.
"Here are 100,000 merits and some magic weapons. Give them to him quickly and let them go on their way!"
Tathagata took out one hundred thousand merits and some magic weapons, and said with a look of pain on his face.
Afterwards, Guanyin handed the things to Sha Wujing. When he saw the hundred thousand merits and many magic weapons in his hands, Sha Wujing suddenly became happy.
Without any hesitation, Sha Wujing directly refined the 100,000 merits, and his cultivation quickly increased, and he soon reached the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Seeing that Sha Wujing had obtained one hundred thousand merits in this way, Zhu Bajie's eyes were full of envy, but he did it for Gao Cuilan and others, so he had no regrets.
Sun Wukong smiled slightly and felt very happy when he saw that Buddhism was defeated.
When Guanyin saw one hundred thousand meritorious deeds disappearing like this, her heart ached so much that she even closed her eyes, out of sight and out of mind.
"Thank you, Master Guanyin."
After a while, Sha Wujing finished refining his merits and even expressed his gratitude to Guanyin.
"You're welcome, you can go on your way now."
Hearing Sha Wujing's words, Guanyin almost spat out a mouthful of old blood and said coldly.
"This is natural. I will send you there now."
With that said, Sha Wujing took off the nine skulls on his neck and used his magic power to turn them into a magic boat floating on the Liusha River.
Seeing such a scene, Tang Xuanzang was filled with shock. He never thought that the skull on Sha Wujing's neck could have such a magical function, and could even cross the quicksand river.
"Master Guanyin, the disciples left first."
Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty bowed respectfully to Guanyin.
Hearing this, Guanyin nodded to Tang Xuanzang.
Later, Tang Xuanzang boarded the Dharma boat, followed closely by White Dragon Horse and Zhu Bajie, while Sun Wukong floated above everyone. With a flick of Sha Wujing's finger, the Dharma boat quickly sailed towards the opposite side.
In less than half a stick of incense time, the Dharma boat carried everyone to the other side. After taking a short rest, they set off again to Lingshan.
Seeing the four masters and apprentices starting their journey, Guanyin finally let out a long sigh of relief, and looked deeply at the four masters and apprentices who were getting farther and farther away, and disappeared with a golden light.
As the people from the West Expedition gathered together, many eyes were focused on the few people from the West Extension. Guanyin returned to Lingshan to inform Tathagata of the matter, and Tathagata felt a little relaxed.
Time and time again, Buddhism has paid a lot of price. If it continues like this, I am afraid it will really be unable to hold on.
The four masters and disciples gathered together. Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie bickered every day, while Tang Xuanzang chattered endlessly and was full of curiosity about everything. Only Sha Wujing was quiet and honest.
The master and the apprentice were very happy along the way. After walking for several months, the master and the apprentice experienced many beautiful scenery. Although it was full of hardships, it was also very fulfilling.
Soon, the four masters and apprentices were chatting and laughing on their way, and arrived at Wanshou Mountain. They saw a Taoist temple far away.
The Taoist temple looks very simple, but it exudes a grand atmosphere, and the entire Taoist temple is enveloped in a rich aura.
Seeing this Taoist temple, the four masters and disciples were full of shock and excitement, and quickly walked towards the Taoist temple.
