Chapter 997 Xuanzang: I don’t believe it
Faced with the tiger demon blocking his way, Xuanzang rushed forward without hesitation, looking as if he was risking his life.
As he practiced the Buddhist method of cultivating the physical body, Xuanzang's entire body emanated a golden light, especially his bald head, which was so bright that even the monk's hat on his head could not cover it.
The tiger demon's tail slapped the stone like a steel whip, and several pieces of gravel flew out.
Xuanzang stumbled and the stone hit his forehead, almost blowing it off.
Seeing the monk's miserable appearance, the tiger demon laughed out loud.
"You are lucky, otherwise I would have taken your life just now."
"You monster, I will fight you!"
Picking up the nine-ring staff in his hand, Xuanzang was ready to go up and continue fighting.
Several Arhats in the sky nodded, although Jin Chanzi's reincarnation this time was a bit unreliable and he liked to eat wine, drink meat and look for women.
But there are also advantages. When facing terrifying monsters, he still has the courage to fight to the death.
At this moment, a sharp arrow flew by, and the tiger demon, who had just been showing off his might, fell straight to the ground.
A man jumped down from a tree in the distance, holding a large bow in his hand.
"The mage in front, are you okay?"
Xuanzang looked and saw that the person who had just run over seemed to be a hunter from the way he was dressed.
But there are really many doubts. An ordinary hunter is not capable of killing a tiger that has become a spirit.
Xiao Zhen, who was far away in Heaven, knew after a quick calculation that it was the people in Heaven who had taken on Tang Seng's calamity.
And the person in charge is Taibai Jinxing, the Jade Emperor's number one confidant.
If that's the case, then the hunter is most likely the transformed Taibai Jinxing.
By transmitting the message through the system, the news was told to the incarnation of Xuanzang without anyone else being able to detect it.
Afterwards, Xuanzang followed the hunter to a small thatched cottage. The decoration here really looked like a hunter's home.
Later, under the protection of the hunter, Xuanzang successfully left the mountainous area.
Walking on the deserted road far away from human habitation, with snakes, insects, rats and ants everywhere, even the little donkey could not bear it.
Having completed his mission, Taibai Jinxing also returned to heaven, happily waiting to receive his merits after the journey to the West was over.
Xuanzang walked for several months before he finally saw the shadow of a strange mountain in the distance.
After living in the open air for so long and often not meeting any common people on the road, he had no money to spend.
He touched his hungry stomach. Even though he had already started practicing, he was unable to use his magic power to resist hunger.
I glanced at the donkey next to me. If it weren't for the fact that this little thing could also be used to carry luggage, I would really want to slaughter it on the spot and eat its meat.
Now that the Five Finger Mountain has appeared before our eyes, it should be much easier to travel west with Monkey King accompanying us.
At least there is no need to worry about food and drink. With Monkey King's skills, it is easy to hunt some wild game.
Under the mountain, Sun Wukong, who was no longer as arrogant as before, opened his eyes.
Hearing the footsteps coming not far away, he had a premonition that the savior that Guanyin Bodhisattva mentioned was coming.
"Master, Master, please come and save me, so that I can help you on your journey to the West to obtain the scriptures!"
Xuanzang pretended to be confused and followed the sound, and indeed found a monkey trapped under the mountain.
Xuanzang touched his bald head and asked in confusion: "What kind of monkey are you? Why are you being crushed by this mountain?"
Hot air was coming out of Sun Wukong's nostrils, he was so excited!
After 500 years of waiting, freedom finally came.
Can you imagine how painful it is for a monkey who loves to jump and be active to be pressed under a mountain for 500 years!
"Master, I am the Monkey King who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace 500 years ago. I was suppressed here by the Buddha because I violated the Heavenly Law!
Now, I am enlightened by the Bodhisattva Guanyin and am waiting for you here to escort you to the West to obtain the scriptures."
Xuanzang shook his head and laughed, "You are such a boaster. You never tell the truth. If you keep saying that, I will leave!"
Sun Wukong wanted to reach out and grab him, but unfortunately the two were more than ten meters apart, and he was pinned down by the Five Finger Mountain, unable to use any magic.
"Master, please believe me, I really am the Monkey King!"
Xuanzang said disdainfully: "What you said is totally irrelevant. You even made a scene in the Heavenly Palace? But why was it suppressed by the Buddha instead of the Jade Emperor?"
Sun Wukong was helpless. The monk in front of him was just an ordinary mortal and must have never heard of his story of the Monkey King.
If it were a monster, how could we not have heard of the story of Sun Wukong making trouble in Heaven?
"Master, when I was causing chaos in the Heavenly Palace, no one in Heaven could rival me, so the Jade Emperor went to ask the Buddha from the West for help."
Xuanzang snorted coldly, ran to the donkey, and took out a mythology magazine from the luggage.
"Hmph, you demon monkey, do you really think that I don't understand mythology? Although Tathagata Buddha is the belief of my Buddhist sect, his status is far below that of the Jade Emperor, and even lower than that of the Lord of Heaven. With so many great gods in Heaven, how can you cause trouble in Heaven?"
As he spoke, he threw a book of mythological notes at the monkey's face.
The content above was gently blown by the wind, and it carefully described the relationship between the Jade Emperor and the gods, and even gave a certain description of their strength and cultivation.
In fact, after being suppressed for 500 years, Sun Wukong has figured out a lot of things. He may have been fooled, but freedom is more important at the moment!
Right at the foot of the Five Finger Mountain, the monkey kept begging, but Xuanzang kept shaking his head, and the two sides seemed to be stuck in a ghostly stalemate.
Several arhats in the sky covered their heads. This reincarnation of Jin Chanzi was really capable of causing trouble. What was the point of reading so many myths and legends? It would be better to read a few more Buddhist scriptures.
In the end... Sun Wukong could only summon the land god to prove his identity.
After some bargaining, Xuanzang finally agreed to help the monkey break the seal.
However, when he saw the tall mountain, Xuanzang had to start thinking about where to climb up.
Xuanzang pointed at the golden rune at the top and couldn't help asking, "It's so high, are you sure I won't fall to my death?"
The God of Land smiled and said, "Don't worry, Holy Monk. You are a person of great luck, and now you are practicing the method of physical body. I believe you can do it."
Just then, a hand was placed on the land's shoulder.
Xuanzang smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "It would be a waste of time for me to climb up. How about you give me a hand, God of Land? Anyway, it shouldn't be a difficult task for a deity like you, right?"
When the land god heard this, of course he would not agree. His short body immediately burrowed into the ground and left a few words before leaving.
"Holy monk, the freedom of the Great Saint is now in your hands?"
After the free labor ran away, Xuanzang had no choice but to climb up the mountain step by step by himself.
I looked down several times and found that this steep slope was really dangerous.
He was really curious whether anyone would come to rescue him if he accidentally fell down.
He did it as he thought. The stone under his feet suddenly slipped and his whole body fell towards the mountain.
"Oh, my life is over!"
At this time, a surge of magical power caught Xuanzang who was about to land.
Guanyin Bodhisattva also appeared, looking at the extremely embarrassed Xuanzang, and said awkwardly:
"Xuanzang, there is no danger anymore, get up quickly!"
