Not only were Tang Xuanzang's master and his disciples held back for two years at the last stop on the westward journey, but the two powerful men in the Hedao Realm of Heaven and Earth were also always paying attention and never left even half a step.
A farce in Pingdingshan two years ago caused Taishang Laojun to lose his wife and surrender his troops, which really cost him face in front of Tathagata. The subsequent development was far beyond all their expectations.
The whereabouts of three of the four magic weapons, except the Seven-Star Sword, are unknown. They were even taken away under the eyes of two powerful people in the Hedao Realm. But who took them away and how they did it?
They all have no clue at all.
Based on this strange situation that has never happened in countless years, Taishang Laojun and Tathagata did not ask each other to leave Tianwaitian but waited until now. On the one hand, they wanted to see if this kind of thing would happen again in the future.
Changes, on the other hand, also prevent the other party from intervening after leaving, complicating things and making them difficult to observe.
Originally, this kind of mentality of waiting and waiting was not bad. Both Taishang Laojun and Tathagata were very calm, and they were sure that they could figure out and find out the guy who was using tricks in the dark to provoke them.
But things were not as expected by Taishang Laojun and Tathagata. The mysterious guy who took three magic weapons from under their noses did not appear. But unexpectedly, a dead soul appeared, and a man who had neither
Even though they were bound by the underworld, they were not transformed into ghosts. Not only that, the development of the whole situation even changed their focus.
This has never happened before in the countless years of experience of Taishang Laojun and Tathagata. Because in this dimension, there are only two results after death of a living being, either going to the underworld or becoming a monster.
"What it is?"
With doubts in their hearts, Taishang Laojun and Tathagata almost simultaneously connected with the part of their consciousness that combined the Tao, and wanted to check all the information about this strange dead soul in the numerology of heaven.
"how so?!"
Taishang Laojun was surprised, and Tathagata was even more surprised. This dead soul was actually a chess piece that he had abandoned! It was originally used as an introduction to guide Tang Xuanzang from childhood love to great love. But this introduction was used up and was eliminated by Tathagata.
The future troubles caused Sun Wukong to lose his soul! Why can he reappear in this weird dead soul form now?
This is not the end yet. What happened next almost completely puzzled Taishang Laojun and almost made Tathagata's lungs explode with anger.
Taishang Laojun was just curious. Sun Wukong was supposed to be Tathagata's chess piece, and so was Tang Xuanzang. But why did these two people vaguely reveal their dissatisfaction with Tathagata's plans when they spoke, and they had clearly shown their dissatisfaction.
His struggle against this farce of seeking scriptures from the West and his fate as a chess piece.
This made Taishang Laojun feel a lot more balanced in his heart. He had been embarrassed before, and now it was Tathagata's turn to be embarrassed. Tsk tsk, not only did his chess pieces understand their identity, but they also began to have feelings of resistance and disgust. This was for Tathagata.
His ability is simply a huge question.
But then again, according to Taishang Laojun's understanding of his old opponent, he is also very curious about how Tang Xuanzang and Sun Wukong understood the causes and consequences and saw through Tathagata's arrangement? And the weirdest thing is the man named Duan Xiaoxiao
The female ghost actually seemed to be very familiar with Sun Wukong and Tang Xuanzang, and she had been communicating with Sun Wukong. Her words always revealed some information that made even a powerful Taoist a little confused.
The person named Xue? Who is that? It seems that this incident is directly related to this person. Could it be that he is the mysterious being who took away the three magic weapons?
And Sun Wukong and Tang Xuanzang, since they had seen through Tathagata's arrangement, why did they still stick to Tang Xuanzang and move forward bravely no matter how dangerous the front was?
It seems that he is waiting for something. Is it the "person named Xue" mentioned by Sun Wukong?
Taishang Laojun could not imagine Tathagata's mood at this moment. The humiliating feeling of being played by ants made it difficult for Tathagata's stable mind for countless years to suppress the anger in his heart.
Especially Tang Xuanzang, who was really obsessed with a ridiculous little love, and now he got out of control and even had rebellious thoughts! Is this still the protagonist of Journey to the West that he was optimistic about?
The most disgusting thing is that Tang Xuanzang and Sun Wukong are still continuing their journey to the west. This makes Tathagata feel like they are being deliberately humiliated.
Just imagine, if this journey to the west is successful, and these people who seek Buddhist scriptures do not like or even hate Xitian at all, and promote such "manipulation" or "chess pieces" remarks, then where is Xitian's face? Even if he, Tathagata, can stop it
, but how can you stop the Taishang Laojun who is always watching the excitement next to you? This man will definitely take it as a joke and a means to attack Buddhism and let it spread everywhere in the lower world.
I endured it again and again, but in the end I couldn't hold it back and accidentally crushed one of Taishang Laojun's tea cups to pieces.
"Laojun, it is not your turn to comment on my xinxing cultivation. Now you have seen the situation of Tang Xuanzang and Sun Wukong. I admit that these ridiculous chess pieces have now become my joke, and have even turned my
All the planning turned out to be a joke. So, I thought I should end it all instead of continuing to stay here."
Tathagata wanted to leave. Two years after the westbound group in the lower realm passed the battle at Pingdingshan, Tathagata couldn't sit still. He didn't care who the so-called mysterious person named Xue who still had no clue was, and he didn't want to care about him.
What is the purpose behind it? He feels that his top priority is to kill Tang Xuanzang's master and disciples first. He would rather let Xitian's Buddhist scriptures fail than let him become the fire that threatens the Buddhist orthodoxy!
Taishang Laojun raised his hand, and a tea cup that was exactly the same as the one crushed by Tathagata seemed to appear out of thin air on the small table. He poured tea, pushed it in front of Tathagata, and said with a smile: "Why are you in such a hurry? Even if you want to end that
There is no need to rush the journey to the west at this moment.
Let’s take a look. Tang Xuanzang was poisoned. Even with the magical elixir he was given to hang on to his life, he couldn’t survive for long. I think Tang Xuanzang should be an important chess piece. Haha, it was you.
chess piece, but now it seems that he is not just your chess piece. Someone will definitely not let him die like this."
"Laojun, what do you want to do?"
"Let's see. Or do you really think that this "Xue" who has never been seen before really just wants to destroy your orthodox arrangement? What good will this do to him?"
Tathagata shook his head and replied: "You have also checked the numerology of heaven, and there are no clues. That person must be a hidden secret, and his cultivation level is extremely high. I am afraid that I can't make more concessions than you. How can such a thing happen?
It will be clear in a while. The Buddhist scriptures in the West are related to my Buddhist reputation. This time I admit defeat, what else do you want? Do you really want to stop me? "
"No, I just want you to sit with me for a while. Aren't the things below over yet?"
