Chapter 1008: Flying Sword Piercing the Heart

Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Zhu Bajie stopped Xiao Bailong and said with a smile:

"Brother Juanlian, we drank together before. Now I am escorting the Qin people to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West to seek the true scriptures. How about you make way for me for the sake of our friendship?"

Juanlian pretended to be surprised and said, "A pilgrim from Daqin? Could it be that he was sent by the Buddha and Bodhisattva to go to the Great Leiyin Temple to seek scriptures?"

When Zhu Bajie heard this, he immediately confirmed that this guy had also infiltrated the team just like himself.

"Yes, yes. I see that you are suffering in this river. There are no villages around here. You might as well go with us to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures and earn some merits. Maybe you can even become a bodhisattva in Buddhism in the future."

Juanlian immediately took advantage of the situation and agreed as soon as he opened his mouth.

However, he still had a lot of confusion in his heart. At the beginning, the Bodhisattva told him that the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi would come here ten times, and the last time would be the one who would really go to the West to seek the true scriptures.

However, he only encountered three of them after waiting here for hundreds of years, and he ate them all alive.

As a result, after waiting for so many years, nothing happened, and suddenly the final critical moment came.

The Bodhisattva Guanyin in the sky nodded, and it seemed that there was no need for her to appear.

After landing, Juanlian knelt down in front of Xuanzang, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, and said sincerely:

"Master, I have been waiting for you for so long. The Bodhisattva said that a man would pass by here and asked me to help him go west to obtain the scriptures, so that he could escape from the sea of ​​suffering. After hundreds of years, you are finally here!"

Xuanzang would not really believe Juanlian's honest face. If he was really an honest man, how could he have been undercover beside the Jade Emperor for so many years.

Moreover, as an incarnation, he had always been attached to Jin Chanzi's soul, but he saw with his own eyes how Jin Chanzi's previous three lives were eaten bite by bite by the roller curtain in front of him beside the Liusha River.

Xuanzang pretended to sigh, and then one of the three skulls on Juanlian's chest said with a painful look on his face:

"I don't know why, but when I saw the skull on your chest, I felt a pang of pain in my heart. Could it be that this has something to do with me?"

Juanlian felt a little panicked, even though the plan to eat the nine pilgrims was something that Guanyin Bodhisattva had secretly told him.

But because he often suffered the pain of flying swords piercing his heart, he couldn't help but have some resentment, so he took it out on everyone who passed by.

The long string of skulls around his neck were all people who were tortured and eaten by him. Jin Chanzi's first three reincarnations suffered the same treatment.

Seeing Juanlian's hesitation, Sun Wukong's golden cudgel was already against his forehead.

"Hey, Master is asking you a question. If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for not recognizing you with my iron rod!"

Now Sun Wukong has been almost half tamed by Xuanzang. The reason, of course, is that a certain monk is unreasonable and always threatens the monkey with the golden hoop.

If it were the original Tang Xuanzang, he might have been polite to Monkey King and had a good debate with him.

But Qin Xuanzang, who is full of hooligan words, really recites the tight-fitting curse when he disagrees with something. Do you think he is not afraid?

Feeling the weight of the stick, Juanlian couldn't help swallowing and told everything he had done over the years.

Except for Jin Chi and Xuan Zang, the others present, including Xiao Bailong, have actually eaten humans.

The black bear touched his head and said in a strange tone: "Why do I feel that you are more cruel than us? I have seen other members of the same tribe capture people and eat them alive, but their methods were not as cruel as yours!"

Xuanzang couldn't help but close his eyes and recited a few words of Buddhist scriptures that he himself couldn't understand.

"You are cruel by nature. It is difficult for us to keep you here. Wukong, send him on his way!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was originally heading home, suddenly braked halfway and immediately rushed back as fast as she could.

What a fool Xuanzang is! Monks are supposed to lay down their butcher knives and become Buddhas instantly. Why don’t you give him a chance?

Juanlian felt a fatal sense of crisis. Not only did Sun Wukong have a ferocious look on his face, but the Black Bear Demon and Zhu Bajie had also raised their weapons.

"Master, please spare my life. I am also being punished by the Jade Emperor. Every seven days, I suffer the pain of being pierced through the heart by flying swords hundreds of times. The resentment in my heart accumulates, and it is inevitable that I cannot control myself..."

Xuanzang kicked out and said in a bad tone: "You monster, you are full of nonsense, I don't believe it!"

Seeing that the stick was about to fall, Sha Seng said hurriedly:

"Master, in about three hours, I will be punished. You will know the truth when you see me."

Tang Seng pretended to hesitate for a while, then said directly: "Well, if you are lying, Wukong, you know what I mean!"

After Sun Wukong nodded, he let the Black Bear Demon and Zhu Bajie control the rolling curtain on the left and right. If there was anything wrong with this guy, he would hit him with a stick and try to kill him with one blow!

Soon the sky gradually darkened and the sun was about to set.

There were streaks of light streaking across the distant sky. Juanlian was shocked when he saw this. Even though he had suffered punishment for hundreds of years, if he could really adapt to it, why would the Jade Emperor bother to do this?

When the Black Bear Demon and Zhu Bajie saw the hundreds of flying swords coming at them, they felt the terrifying power and were so scared that they quickly dropped the curtains.

"Come on, this is the last time!"

The Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Palace snorted coldly and said in a dissatisfied tone: "You bastard, you are passing messages for the Buddhist sect beside me. Today is the last time, and I will definitely not let you get away with it!"

When the first flying sword passed through, Juanlian groaned. He felt something was wrong. Why did this first flying sword hurt more than the hundreds of previous ones?

Before he could come to his senses, one flying sword after another pierced through his heart, and these flying swords had the effect of torturing his soul.

Xuanzang and others who were watching everything from a distance couldn't help but shiver.

Zhu Bajie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, wondering how this curtain had offended the Jade Emperor, and whether it was necessary to be so cruel.

Even Jin Chi clasped his hands together and said with emotion: "Amitabha, this person has great perseverance. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid his mind would have been broken and he would have become a fool."

After the punishment was over, everyone came forward to check and found that Juanlian had fainted and the wound on his chest was very serious.

Sun Wukong took a closer look and said to Xuanzang with some regret: "Master, this guy is seriously injured. I'm afraid he won't make it!"

Xuanzang waved his hands and said with emotion: "It's not easy for him either. So let's forget about my grudge from the past three lives. Wukong, please give him a quick death!"

"Okay, leave it to me, Old Sun!"

Sun Wukong did not hesitate. He raised his golden cudgel high up and was about to knock the curtain on the ground to death.

"Wukong, wait a minute, I'm coming!"

White clouds floated in the distance, and the tool man Guanyin Bodhisattva came to the rescue.
