Chapter 1025: For the sake of Buddhism, we have no choice but to sacrifice Dapeng!

The Tathagata in the Great Leiyin Temple had a very unhappy expression on his face, and the Bodhisattvas and Arhats below were trembling with fear.

This time, the team was almost wiped out. No one expected that the group of demons from outside the domain would be so cruel and crazy that they would actually hold terrible weapons and want to die together with Master Xuanzang and his disciples.

I guess if those two dead cannon fodder time travelers knew about this, they would definitely defend themselves.

Who wants to die together? They are clearly being used by the guys above.

As the person in charge of spreading Buddhism to the West, Guanyin Bodhisattva also has an unshirkable responsibility.

Maitreya Buddha wanted to take the opportunity to seize power. He held his seriously injured disciple and scolded Guanyin at the meeting place in the Great Leiyin Temple, attempting to obtain the power of the planner of the journey to the West.

As a result, the Buddha just pretended to hesitate for a moment and then expressed his refusal.

Although Guanyin's fame is higher than many Buddhas, she is a smart person and would never think of threatening Tathagata's position.

But Maitreya Buddha is different. He has always been very ambitious.

Tathagata has always been on guard against certain people below him. Even when he is in seclusion, he has to be very careful and prepare several backup plans so that he can feel more at ease.

Xiao Zhen, who was practicing in Tianchi, opened his eyes and slowly exhaled. A year had passed. Relying on this rich silver, he continued to build his foundation, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the middle stage of Taiyi Jinxian.

There is still some distance to go before breaking through to the later stage. After checking the progress of Xuanzang's incarnation, I found that the Journey to the West team was almost reaching Lion Camel Ridge.

They experienced several disasters during this period, and the mount that Guanyin raised was almost beaten to death.

Unfortunately, Guanyin, who was cautious, acted in time and prevented her mount from dying. Even the magic bell that Xuanzang wanted to embezzle was taken back.

Simply put, this trip did not gain anything. I just helped the King of Zhuzi Country rescue the queen and earned some money for the journey to the west.

The angry Xuanzang kept advertising in brothels in various towns along the way.

"What's wrong with a monk visiting a brothel? Let me tell you, Guanyin Bodhisattva even released her pet to rob the queen of a country!"

The large amount of negative remarks made Guanyin's face turn black in the dark. She wished she could catch that bald donkey immediately and whip him hundreds of times.

The angry Guanyin had no choice but to yell at her mount Golden Hair, and the willow leaf in her hand turned into a long whip, which she whipped and scolded.

"You beast, I asked you to be a challenge on the journey to the West, why did you try to steal someone else's queen?"

At first, not many people believed the rumors spread by Xuanzang. It was not until later that someone went to Zhuzi Country and realized that this was not a rumor but a real thing.

On an unnamed hill outside the Lion Camel Ridge, Xuanzang and his companions encountered a dilapidated mountain village. It seemed that no one had lived here for decades, and some broken skeletons could be vaguely seen.

Sun Wukong frowned and said, "Master, there is evil spirit everywhere here. I'm afraid there are many monsters around. The people in this village must have been eaten by monsters in the past!"

Xuanzang nodded. He had received information from the deity a long time ago that they were only a hundred miles away from Lion Camel Ridge.

"Wukong, go check the situation and see if there are any evil monsters around. It would be best if you could catch a few tongues."

More than ten minutes later, Sun Wukong had brought back a little demon in the early stage of the celestial immortal realm. Seeing that this guy was not honest, he was still cursing at him.

Without waiting for Xuanzang to say anything, Zhu Bajie had already skillfully gone up and slapped him a few times.

"Behave yourself, grandpas, or we'll beat you to death and stew you in a pot!"

Seeing the ferocious look of this group of people, Xiao Yao's throat rolled and he replied weakly:

"Grandfathers, I am just a patrolling demon in Lion Camel Ridge. My name is Xiao Zuanfeng. I really don't know anything. Please spare my life!"

Xuanzang said majestically: "Let me ask you, how many monsters are there in Lion Camel Ridge?"

Xiao Zuanfeng: "Forty-seven or eight thousand. The lowest level of cultivation is at the Human Immortal realm. We at Lion Camel Ridge will not accept anyone below the Human Immortal realm. They are only suitable for food."

Even Sun Wukong was surprised by this number. When he rebelled against the Heavenly Palace, the number of his monkeys and the monsters he subdued nearby added up to hundreds of thousands. But most of them were just small monsters who were not able to maintain their human form.

Lion Camel Ridge can gather nearly 5 monsters above the fairyland, which is already a considerable force.

Xuanzang asked about some other things and found out almost everything about Lion Camel Ridge.

This place used to be a small country called Shita. Later it was occupied by three big monsters and all the people in the country were eaten.

Moreover, these three great demons have powerful magic powers. Not only have they gathered a large number of demon soldiers, but they have also continuously attacked other mortal countries around them.

Within a radius of 800 miles around Lion Camel Ridge, there are almost no human beings to be seen. Those who did not escape were almost all kept in captivity by the monsters and could be used as their next meal at any time.

Sun Wukong also recounted what he had seen and heard in Lion Camel Ridge. There were dried human corpses hanging on the trees, and the scene made the hair stand on end for this monkey demon who had eaten humans before.

As the only serious monk in the team, Jin Chi couldn't help but close his eyes and recite scriptures.

Zhu Bajie said with some fear: "Master, this Lion Camel Ridge is so dangerous, why don't we take a detour? After all, obtaining the scriptures is more important!"

Xuanzang slapped the pig on the head and scolded it harshly.

The three monsters from Lion Camel Ridge are obvious points rewards, and these three guys are deeply sinful. Even if they are killed, even Buddha Tathagata cannot explain the reason.

As for whether it would bring revenge from Kong Xuan if the Golden-Winged Roc was really killed.

Xuanzang is not afraid, unless the Buddhist sect does not want to spread the Buddhist scriptures to the East.

What is the destined person to obtain Buddhist scriptures? Even if the old bald monks in the Buddhist sect want to change them, there is no way.

"thump!"

Xuanzang knelt on the ground and kowtowed nine times towards the sky.

"God is above, Buddha is above, the demons of Lion Camel Ridge have committed serious sins, and your disciple Xuanzang hates evil as much as he hates it. I hereby swear an oath to the heavens that I will never go west until the three demon kings of Lion Camel Ridge and their followers are eliminated. If you break this oath, I am willing to be struck by lightning and reduced to ashes!"

Dark clouds gathered in the sky and a loud thunder exploded, indicating that tomorrow's arrival had been agreed.

The gods and Buddhas who occasionally took a look were all shocked, especially Guanyin, who was in charge of the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and she covered her forehead in pain.

This time... we're in big trouble!

The three demons of Lion Camel Ridge are an important force of Buddhism, and can be considered as a nail they have planted in the demon clan.

Haven’t you seen that in the original work, after the three demons were taken away by Buddhism, the little demons in Lion Camel Ridge did not suffer any damage?

This is also a force that cannot be underestimated, and it is estimated that it has been cultivated for many years.

As for these monsters eating people?

What a joke, there is no monster that doesn't eat humans, isn't this normal?

Upon receiving the news, Tathagata also put on a bitter face. The green lion and the white elephant were dead, so what? They were just two late-stage Golden Immortals.

But the Golden-Winged Dapeng is different. He has already reached the early peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal (True Taiyi Golden Immortal). Buddhism has put a lot of effort into his cultivation over the years, and it is estimated that he will soon reach the middle stage.

Speaking of which, this Dapeng bird is really disappointing. Although its bloodline level is so high, it still hasn't broken through to the middle stage. It is usually too lazy to practice and just waits for Buddhism to feed it with resources. It is in sharp contrast with his brother Kong Xuan.

At that time, Tathagata was seriously injured and accidentally swallowed by Kong Xuan. He was ready to kill him to deter other ambitious people in Buddhism.

But in the end he was persuaded by others. After all, this was also an important force in Buddhism, and it would be too serious if it was lost.

Tathagata also nodded in agreement, but he still left many restrictions in Kong Xuan's body, even changing his gender.

Tathagata has never underestimated this first peacock in the world.

She even gave this guy the title of Buddha Mother because she came out of Kong Xuan's stomach.

So the golden-winged Peng bird is the uncle of Tathagata Buddha.

But relationships are relationships, the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures must not stop, let alone be obstructed. This is not only the trend of Heaven, but also related to the future prosperity of Buddhism.

Therefore, we must make the decision to choose the lighter one. For the prosperity of Buddhism, we have no choice but to sacrifice Dapeng!
