"Since the monkey was expelled, the burden of searching for ways and alms fell on me, the old pig, and I didn't even have time to practice. But the monkey was living happily in Huaguo Mountain. It's really unfair!"
The more Zhu Bajie thought about it, the angrier he became. For a person who is determined to paddle, there is nothing more painful than a heavy responsibility.
Therefore, when Bajie saw Xuanzang transformed into a colorful tiger, Bajie's first thought was to take the opportunity to persuade his master to call back the monkey and save him from the burden of searching for ways and alms.
Thinking of this, the cunning look on Bajie's fat and big-eared face flashed away, replaced by a simple and honest smile.
"Master, this demon's spell is so vicious and weird that it can't be detected by just the skills of Lao Zhu and Junior Brother Sha. If Senior Brother is here..." Zhu Bajie is just pretending.
Sha Seng's pupils were as red as blood, his whole body was exuding a dark evil spirit, and his eyes looking at Bajie were full of murderous intent.
You must know that Sha Monk inherited the kindness of Jin Chanzi for the ninth time and achieved his current Taoist practice. Naturally, he will not tolerate anyone harming and deceiving Xuanzang.
Sensing the demonic energy and murderous intention in Sha Seng's body, Bajie's spiritual sense immediately kept warning, and a kind of death crisis surged into his heart.
Bajie looked at Monk Sha with fearful eyes. He did not expect that Junior Brother Sha, who was usually taciturn, would be so terrifying once he got angry.
He did not dare to neglect, and quickly sent a message: "Junior brother Sha, I don't want to deceive the master, but the road to the west is full of dangers, and without the help of senior brother, it will be difficult for us to protect the master!"
A thoughtful look flashed across Sha Monk's eyes, his red blood pupils slowly returned to normal, and the demonic aura dissipated all over his body.
"But it's not good to do this. What should I do if the master finds out?"
Sensing the hesitation in Sha Seng's spiritual thoughts, Bajie said righteously: "We are helping the master and senior brother to resolve their differences and get back together. Even if the master knows about it, he will not blame us!"
Looking at the righteous second brother, Sha Seng was extremely surprised.
He finally understood why the second senior brother could become the powerful Marshal Tianpeng, while he could only be a low-ranking general rolling the curtain!
The thoughts of these guys with great power are too scary. This kind of terror has nothing to do with power, but lies in wisdom.
Without Sha Seng's obstruction, Xuanzang agreed to let him retrieve Sun Wukong after Bajie's earnest persuasion.
"Elder brother is so arrogant, it may not be easy to invite him back!" Sha Seng said with a solemn expression.
"Haha, I, the old pig, have my own clever plan!" Bajie laughed loudly.
After instructing Sha Monk to protect Xuanzang, Bajie rode on the clouds to Huaguo Mountain.
Just in time for the good weather and a favorable wind, Bajie propped up his two ears, like a canopy, and traveled a hundred thousand miles in an instant.
Not long after Bajie left, the yellow-robed monster quietly appeared. He could only hear him chanting a spell softly, and a mysterious power of bewitchment came out. A fierce light flashed in Sha Monk's eyes, and his whole body was filled with evil energy soaring into the sky.
Sha Monk's scarlet eyes stared intently at the colorful tiger transformed by Xuanzang, with a hint of struggle flashing deep in his eyes.
But the mantra recited by the yellow-robed monster is not simple. It is the fundamental magic of the demon Lord Bo Xun, the Great Self-Heart Sutra, which can arouse the inner demons of immortals and Buddhas in strange and unpredictable ways.
Sha Monk practices the path of Buddha and Demon, and has deep roots in demons. Faced with the Demon Lord's "Great Self-Heart Sutra", he is naturally powerless to fight back.
I saw strong demonic energy spurting out from his body. Sha Monk was completely out of control. His eyes were indifferent, his temperament was pure, and his whole body exuded the most primitive and pure demonic nature.
At this time, Sha Seng looked at Xuanzang with no respect at all, and only the most primitive desire remained. He wanted to devour the colorful tiger in front of him.
The demonic energy turned into dark chains to tightly bind the colorful tiger transformed by Xuanzang, and the strands of human energy were forcibly drawn out and integrated into Sha Monk's body.
As the humane energy enters the body, the original demonic energy and vast Buddhist power in Sha Monk's body are immediately stimulated, constantly colliding with the humane energy.
However, the human Qi is so overbearing and inherently capable of rejecting all power, and the demonic Qi and Buddha's power will soon be defeated.
Under the pressure of human nature Qi, the originally distinct demonic energy and Buddhist power soon became entangled into one force, constantly competing with human nature Qi.
Under the constant collision of the three, a wisp of dark gold magic power was derived. As soon as it appeared, it fed on human energy, demonic energy and Buddhist power, and continued to grow.
This dark golden mana not only incorporates the magical power of Buddha, but also possesses some characteristics of human energy, which is strange and powerful!
When the yellow-robed monster hiding in the dark saw this, he was inexplicably horrified and unknowingly revealed a trace of his energy.
Naturally, this wisp of energy could not escape Sha Monk's perception. With a thought, he saw a dark gold chain heading towards the yellow-robed monster.
The yellow-robed monster was startled. He waved the long knife in his hand and slashed towards the dark gold chain.
Before these sword lights touched the dark gold chain, they were defeated by the energy surrounding the chain, and turned into spiritual energy and dissipated in the void.
The yellow-robed monster is worthy of being the star king in the sky. His combat experience is extraordinary, and his long sword slashed at the chain with lightning speed.
With a loud bang, the yellow-robed monster was directly knocked away. Before he could land, he was firmly bound by the dark gold chain.
With the chains attached to his body, the yellow-robed monster's Taoist magic power was immediately imprisoned, making it difficult to mobilize the slightest bit.
What frightened the yellow-robed monster even more was that the chain was so weird that it was constantly devouring his Taoist cultivation.
All this is a long story, but in reality it is nothing more than a cup of tea.
Before Sha Monk could continue to punish the evil, the three great Bodhisattvas, Guanyin, Manjusri, and Samantabhadra, who were hiding in secret to protect Xuanzang, had already realized that something was wrong, and each used their magic weapons to attack Sha Monk.
Sha Monk was not to be outdone, and three more dark gold chains condensed out, attacking the mutton-fat jade purifying bottle, the sword of wisdom, and the three-jeweled golden lotus respectively.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Three collision sounds were heard. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's mutton-fat jade pure bottle was directly knocked away, Manjushri Bodhisattva's sword of wisdom was locked, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's three-jeweled golden lotus confronted the chain.
The three Bodhisattvas were startled, and quickly mobilized their magic weapons to attack Sha Monk together. However, Sha Monk was not afraid of danger, even if he was one against three, he still did not lose!
Seeing the human energy in Xuanzang's body being continuously devoured by Sha Monk, the three Bodhisattvas suddenly became anxious and filled with Buddhist power. They frantically activated their magic weapons to compete with Sha Monk.
But as time went by, Sha Monk devoured more and more of the human nature energy and Kuixing's original power, and the aura emanating from his body became stronger and stronger, faintly suppressing the three great Bodhisattvas.
At this moment, a stick shadow that reaches the sky and the earth descends from the sky, an extremely powerful force explodes, the void is shattered, and the power is unparalleled. It is the Monkey King, the Monkey King, who has arrived!
"Hey, give me a stick!"
Listening to that extremely familiar voice and looking at that extremely domineering stick, a glimmer of clarity flashed in Sha Monk's eyes, but he was quickly swallowed up by the demonic nature.
While Sha Monk activated the dark gold chain to entangle with the three Bodhisattvas, he held the treasure staff, cut through the void, and hit the shadow of the stick that reached the sky and the earth.
Sha Monk, who is both a Buddha and a demon, has a Taoist fighting power that is beyond the limit of the Golden Immortal. He only has a short chance to condense the prototype of Tao Fruit and become the top power in the three realms.
Sha Monk waved his treasure staff, and there was nothing flashy about this blow. The terrifying power exploded, and the earth, wind, water, and fire surged, exceeding the carrying limit of the heaven and earth.
Boom! The treasure stick arrived first and collided with the shadow of the stick falling from the sky. The heaven and earth shattered, the energy of chaos surged out, the earth, wind, water and fire boiled, and countless thunder exploded.
The staffs and sticks connected, and the terrifying power overflowed, and the ripples exploded. The entire Baoxiang Kingdom was reduced to ruins for thousands of miles, and countless creatures died.
In the center of the ruins, a wave of Buddhist power suddenly came. The three Bodhisattvas, including Guanyin, Manjusri, and Samantabhadra, looked pale, with blood bleeding from the corners of their mouths, and were extremely embarrassed.
Behind the three Bodhisattvas were the colorful tigers and white dragon horses transformed by Xuanzang. At this time, they all collapsed on the ground, their eyes full of fear.
It turned out that these three Bodhisattvas sensed Xuanzang's danger and, regardless of their own safety, firmly protected Xuanzang's beautiful tiger behind them. Only then were they severely injured.
However, the little white dragon saw that the situation was not good, so he turned into a stream of light and hid behind Xuanzang, only to escape the disaster.
As for the yellow-robed monster, his entire body was imprisoned by Sha Monk, and his divine body was directly turned into gray under this terrifying power. Only a true spirit remained, which was heading towards the heaven under the protection of the Conferred God List.
Regarding all this, Wukong and Sha Seng didn't take it seriously. They only had each other in their eyes, exuding a burning desire to fight.
In the void, Sha Monk's tattered monk's robe turned into a dark golden cassock. The golden Buddha's light and the black demonic energy merged harmoniously, and visions of great terror, great destruction, and great sinking appeared around him.
Wukong, on the other hand, wears a purple gold crown of all spirits, Wuji Xuanhuang armor, and Bahuang Zhenyue shoes on his feet. The golden light in his eyes is not a flame, but a blazing fighting spirit.
"Hey! Come again!"
Wukong suddenly shouted loudly, and his figure moved, turning into a golden light, and the overwhelming shadow of the stick swept towards Sha Monk.
The stick shadows were as fast as lightning, as if they transcended the boundaries of time and came from all the time and space of the past, present, and future.
The Sha Monk's cassock made a hunting sound, the staff in his hand rang softly, and the sword lights flashed, crossing mysterious trajectories, competing with the shadows of the sticks.
Rumble! Amidst the bursts of sounds like stars exploding and the world shattering, the two figures continued to collide with each other, and the endless energy of chaos obscured their figures.
Endless divine light bloomed as they clashed, and the earth, wind, water, and fire rolled under their feet, as if even if the heaven and earth were destroyed, it would be powerless to do anything to them.
During the fierce confrontation, Wukong suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he seemed to have realized some kind of truth about heaven and earth.
The Panlong Stick is swung with no force and fierceness, but at the same time it is as soft as water. The hardness and softness are in opposition to each other, but they are perfectly integrated together without any sense of disharmony.
As soon as the stick is swung, various rules will emerge. The sun rises, the moon sets, and the stars move around, creating a world of its own.
As soon as the stick fell, the whistling sound seemed like a world rising and falling under the coiled dragon stick, uncertain in life and death.
A dignified look appeared in Sha Monk's indifferent eyes, and vast mana continued to pour out, barely fighting Wukong into a ball.
But as time goes by, Wukong's understanding of the way of hardness and softness becomes deeper and deeper in battle, and endless enlightenment emerges in his mind.
Wukong became more and more excited as he fought, and the operation of the great immortal arts became more and more mysterious, and the secrets of countless magical powers and secrets came to his mind.
His aura was rising steadily, and it had faintly exceeded the limit of Golden Immortal, touching the edge of the prototype of Dao Fruit.
However, Sha Monk is not a weakling. In the life-and-death battle, his potential was continuously explored, and Buddhism and demonism blended together, exerting a power that shocked even him.
Boom! Finally, in another collision, Wukong suddenly laughed, his momentum surged to the limit, three flowers gathered at the top, five qi moved toward the source, and an illusory Dao Fruit appeared above the Tianling.
As the prototype of the Dao Fruit was successfully condensed, the vision of realizing the Dao emerged around Wukong. Flowers fell from the sky, golden lotuses surged from the ground, and the vast sound of the Dao resounded throughout the world like morning bells and evening drums.
These enlightenment visions are not only tempered by the Great Way, but also tested by heaven and earth.
However, for a person with profound knowledge like Wukong, he can achieve it almost overnight and turn the test of heaven and earth into his own opportunity.
I saw the divine light of the Great Dao in Wukong's body turned into a pillar of light reaching the sky, standing in the three realms, shaking the ocean of origin of the law, and immediately attracted the attention of countless powerful immortals.
Those immortal gods with extraordinary insight have already seen the origin of the strange phenomena in the world. This is the rudiment of Tao Fruit condensed by a strong person to become a great power in this world.
Many immortals and gods watched intently and were shocked when they discovered that the breakthroughr was Sun Wukong. The monkey had possessed this Taoist practice without knowing it.
Think of Yang Jian, the true king of Qingyuan Miao Dao. How powerful his talent is, but he still wasted countless years on the threshold of the prototype of Dao fruit. Only then can he break through in the battle with Sun Wukong and become a great power in this world!
But what about Sun Wukong? He was born less than a thousand years ago, and it took him only five hundred years to reach the limit of the Golden Immortal. However, he surpassed countless ancient Golden Immortals and condensed the prototype of the Tao Fruit. What kind of talent is this?
Even the most powerful people in the realm of Taoism, such as the Three Pure Ones and Two Saints, Nuwa Empress, Houtu Empress, and Zhen Yuanzi, have to look up to Sun Wukong, let alone those veteran powerful ones!
However, before many immortals and gods could come to their senses, the terrifying Qi of Sha Monk's body climbing steadily made them sluggish again.
Above the celestial spirit above Sha Monk's head, Buddhism and demonic ways completely merged and returned to their true nature, condensing into a strange Taoist fruit intertwined with gold and black, with the faint sound of a dragon's roar resounding inside.
As the prototype of the Dao Fruit was successfully condensed, a majestic Dao Qi energy poured into Sha Monk's body, reshaping his Dharma body.
A peculiar body appeared, with nine heads and twenty-six faces, with different expressions, either angry, hateful, or cold, all showing different negative emotions.
Not only that, there is a dark golden reverse swastika pattern on his forehead, which is mysterious and weird!
After the breakthrough, the indifference and madness in Sha Monk's eyes swept away, becoming as clear as water, exuding the brilliance of wisdom.
After sensing Sha Monk's aura, Wukong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and waved the dragon stick to compete with Sha Monk again.
This battle lasted for three days and three nights, with no winner or loser, and the two sides faced each other in the air.
Sun Wukong took a deep look at Sha Monk with his blazing golden eyes and asked: "Junior Brother Sha, do you still recognize me as your senior brother?"
A simple and honest smile appeared on Sha Seng's face, and he chuckled: "Master and I have the gift of reincarnation. He will always be my master, and Brother Monkey, you will always be my senior brother!"
"Junior Brother Sha!"
"Big Brother!"
Wukong and Sha Seng looked at each other, with thick smiles on each other's faces.
Immediately afterwards, the two parties pressed their cloud heads and came to Xuanzang.
Seeing Sha Monk approaching, the eyes of the three Bodhisattvas including Guanyin, Manjusri and Samantabhadra were full of wariness.
Finally, under the coordination of Wukong, the three Bodhisattvas left unwillingly, Xuanzang also recovered his body, and the four masters and disciples once again embarked on the westward journey.
