"Tathagata, if you linger any longer, I'm afraid the monk will have become the monster's prey."
Sun Wukong looked at Tathagata's distressed face, and the old god spoke.
"That's all, Ananda, where is Kasyapa?"
The Tathagata spoke.
"Master, this disciple is here."
Hearing this, Ananda and Kasyapa bowed respectfully to the Tathagata.
Hearing that the Tathagata had entrusted this task to him, Ananda and Kasyapa were filled with bitterness. Manjushri Bodhisattva had suffered a great loss before going down to the realm, and could only swallow his anger in front of the Supreme Lord.
Now that the One-horned Si King also comes from the Taishang Laojun's sect, and his seniority and strength are much greater than those of the Gold and Silver Boy, the two of them would probably be humiliating themselves if they went there.
"The two of you will lead the eighteen Arhats who faced the wall and were punished to go to the lower realm to subdue the monster. After subduing the monster, you will bring it back to my spiritual mountain."
Tathagata said with a cold expression.
Hearing this, Ananda and Kassapa suddenly had a look of shock on their faces. They thought they would just save Tang Xuanzang, but they never expected that Tathagata would actually want to bring Qi suppressed back to Lingshan to be punished.
Ananda and Kassapa also felt dissatisfied with Tathagata, and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
King One-horned Si and the Tathagata are contemporaries. It is still possible for the Tathagata to go there in person, but now the Tathagata has left this matter to Ananda and Kassapa. This is simply unreasonable.
"I will obey the orders of the Buddha."
Although helpless and anxious, the two of them still bowed respectfully to Tathagata.
Seeing Ananda and Kassapa leading the disgraced Eighteen Arhats there, Sun Wukong was filled with joy.
The One-Horned King is not an ordinary monster. This time, Sun Wukong doesn't have to guess at the fate of these people, he just waits to see the good show.
Soon, the Buddhist group followed Sun Wukong to Jindou Mountain.
When he learned that Sun Wukong had found Buddhist helpers, King Dujiao Si's eyes lit up, he picked up his weapon and walked out of the cave.
"Who I thought it was, turned out to be just a bunch of bald donkeys."
King Dujiao Si said with disdain.
Seeing the One-horned King and feeling the powerful aura emanating from his body, Ananda and Kasyapa could only step forward bravely.
"Bold monster, you are arresting my Buddhist disciple. If you let him go today, you will avoid being attacked."
Venerable Kasyapa forced himself to take a breath and spoke.
"Hahaha, it's really funny. Who are your last names? Why do you want me to let him go?"
Hearing this, the One-horned Si King looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid these bald donkeys have some brain problems. They actually want to scare your Majesty. They really don't understand the bounds of heaven and earth."
"That's right, Your Majesty, since they don't know the depth, Your Majesty arrested them too. We haven't tasted the taste of monk meat yet."
A group of little demons under King Dujiaosi also burst into laughter, and even clamored to catch Kasyapa and others and eat them.
Hearing this ridicule, although Kasyapa was uneasy but still full of anger, he stared at the One-horned King with cold eyes.
"The poor monk Kassapa is a disciple of the Tathagata Buddha. We kindly advise you to return to your lost ways, but you don't know how to repent. You really don't know whether to live or die."
Kasyapa bravely spoke.
"It turns out that you are the disciples of Tathagata's bald donkey. Since you are here, you don't have to go back."
With that said, King Dujiao Si took action directly.
Facing King One-horned Si, Kasyapa's complexion changed drastically. In an instant, he used his magical power, and a Vajra Buddha statue condensed out from behind. Feeling the powerful magic power permeating King One-horned Si, Kasyapa had cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
Kassapa stretched out his palm and recited Buddhist sutras, and the thick Vajra Buddha statue was also shot out with his palm. In an instant, the Buddha's light was thousands of feet long, illuminating the entire Jindou Mountain.
"Well done!"
King Dujiao Si's face was full of excitement, and he thrust out a two-foot-long steel spear, directly piercing the palm of the Vajra Buddha statue.
Seeing such a scene, Ananda and the Eighteen Arhats suddenly changed their expressions. Knowing the power of the One-horned Si King, they chanted Buddhist sutras at the same time.
In an instant, many powers of faith in the heaven and earth gathered towards Kasyapa. There were bright Buddha lights everywhere in the sky and earth, converging into a long river of faith and pouring them all into Kasyapa's body.
With the power of faith and the magical blessings of Ananda and others, Kasyapa's defeat was slowly stopped.
"Monster, look at the treasure!"
Kassapa and others knew how powerful King Dujiaosi was. Although they temporarily stopped their defeat, they could only hold on for a moment.
In desperation, Kasyapa and the others did not dare to hesitate at all, and one after another took out their magic weapons and struck them at King Dujiaosi.
The magic weapon flew across the sky, blooming with bright Buddha light, and the demon-subduing pestle released waves of domineering power, shaking the world.
The entire prehistoric land was shaking violently, as if it could not withstand such a powerful force. Facing many magic weapons, King Dujiao Si just smiled disdainfully.
A flash of silver light flashed, and King One-Horned Si offered up his diamond bracelet. The magic weapon that came quickly and contained powerful offensive power was instantly submerged in the silver light, and appeared in the hands of King One-Horned Si.
Upon seeing this, the expressions of Kasyapa and others changed drastically, their eyes were full of disbelief, and they felt extremely regretful.
They wanted to try to communicate with the magic weapon, but found that the magic weapon had no contact with them.
Seeing that all the magic weapons they had worked so hard to refine fell into the hands of King Dujiaosi, Kasyapa and others felt helpless to the extreme.
All the magic weapons were taken away by King Dujiaosi, and Kasyapa and others were extremely nervous.
"With this little ability, I dare to come and die. It seems that Tathagata just wants you to test my depth."
King Dujiao Si said jokingly.
With that said, King One-horned Si stretched out his hand, and the diamond bracelet returned to his hand. Thousands of powerful mana poured into the bracelet. The next moment, King One-horned Si threw it towards Kasyapa and others.
Boom!
Accompanied by a huge roar, silver light flashed, directly covering Kasyapa and others. The next second, they were all bound by diamond bracelets, with faces full of pain.
"Sun Wukong, if you don't take action yet, when will you wait?"
In desperation, Kasyapa shouted angrily at Sun Wukong.
Hearing Kassapa's voice, Sun Wukong just smiled disdainfully and said: "Venerable Kassapa, all our weapons have been taken away. Even you and the others are no match for us. How can I possibly be able to deal with them?"
"Sun Wukong, if you don't take action, we may be in danger!"
Venerable Ananda scolded with an extremely angry expression.
"Venerable Ananda, who do you think you are and dare to instruct me? You are trying to teach me how to do things!"
Hearing this, Sun Wukong also showed a cold look in his eyes.
Ananda, Kasyapa and the Eighteen Arhats heard Sun Wukong's words and knew that Sun Wukong would never take action, and they immediately felt extremely regretful.
"Monster, we are disciples of the Tathagata Buddha. If you dare to do anything bad to us, I, the Tathagata, will definitely not let you go easily!"
Now their lives depend on the King One-horned Si's thoughts, so they can only bring out Tathagata to scare King One-horned Si.
Hearing this, the corners of King One-horned Si's mouth curved with a hint of meaning, and he stared at Kassapa and the others with cold eyes. To King One-horned Si, Kassapa and others were nothing more than a fox pretending to be a tiger.
