Chapter 333: Want me, Old Sun, to be your disciple? No way!

In the hall, the voice of the Saint Master echoed in Dizang's ears, and he felt confused.

In his opinion, the request of the Great Tang Emperor was extremely excessive, and the Saint Master would never agree to it.

He originally wanted to report this matter to the Saint Master and let the Saint Master make a decision, but he didn't expect that the Saint Master would take the initiative to send him a message and let him agree to it.

"Report to the Emperor, my Western Church agrees to this!" Dizang answered.

Although he was full of doubts, in this situation, he could only follow the arrangement of the Saint Master.

Hearing Dizang's answer, the civil and military officials looked excited, and they naturally knew what Dizang's answer meant.

The Western Land has always been controlled by the Western Church. Once the Western Church agrees to this, it means that the human race will unify the prehistoric world.

For the human race, being able to unify the prehistoric world is definitely a great achievement.

"Report to the Emperor, if you want to obtain the true scriptures, you need to travel a long distance, experience the world, and have great wisdom and perseverance.

My Western Church has already found a suitable reason. This person is Chen Xuanzang, the son of scholar Chen Guangrui, and his Dharma name is Sanzang!" Dizang spoke again.

In his opinion, the Emperor must have something to do with Lu Yuan, and he should also know some of the truth about the Journey to the West.

Since the Emperor has agreed to the Journey to the West, he will go with the flow and directly put Tang Sanzang in the open.

Hearing Dizang's words, Li Shimin's expression did not change at all.

"Pass on my order, summon Chen Xuanzang to the hall!" Li Shimin said.

He had already expected that the Western Church would agree to this matter, so it was naturally not a surprise.

As for Chen Xuanzang, long before his reincarnation, Master Lu Yuan had informed him in advance that the Western Church would let Jin Chanzi reincarnate as Tang Sanzang, so that he would become the one who obtained the scriptures.

This person, like Sun Wukong, was the one who was to be robbed in the Journey to the West. Dizang took the initiative to mention this matter, obviously wanting to point out Tang Sanzang as the one who would obtain the scriptures.

As it was related to the great calamity, he knew that the Journey to the West could not be stopped. Since he could not stop it, he simply agreed to this matter.

Of course, he took the initiative to agree to this matter, and he also had other purposes.

After a moment, Tang Sanzang mentioned by Dizang also entered the hall.

Seeing Tang Sanzang appear, Li Shimin asked: "Chen Xuanzang, someone recommended you to go to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West to seek the true scriptures. Are you willing?"

"Report to the Emperor, I am a humble monk, willing to serve the dog and horse and go to the Great Leiyin Temple to seek the true scriptures!" Tang Sanzang responded.

He had always longed for Buddhism, and when he heard such a request, he naturally agreed to this matter.

"Master is indeed loyal and virtuous, not afraid of the long journey, I will appoint you as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty! Order you to travel to the West and seek the true scriptures!" Li Shimin said.

His real purpose was to make Tang Sanzang an envoy of the Tang Dynasty.

The Western Church had agreed to include the Western Land into the human race, but the two sides were isolated from the world and were not so familiar with each other.

As an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Sanzang could travel to the West in advance and prepare for the Western Land to join the human race.

For him, the matter of obtaining the scriptures was not that important.

"Thank you, Emperor!" Xuanzang hurriedly thanked him.

However, Ksitigarbha, who saw this scene, did not feel happy at all, but frowned slightly.

According to their original plan, Emperor Ren should take the initiative to request the spread of Buddhism to the East, and Tang Sanzang, as a person who obtained the scriptures, should have a very high status.

But now, it has become that they, the Western Church, took the initiative to ask the Emperor Ren, and Tang Sanzang, who was a person who obtained the scriptures, was just an envoy.

This move neither raised Tang Sanzang's status nor raised the status of the Western Church.

But even so, he did not dare to have any complaints. The smooth progress of the journey to the West was already an excellent result.

Now, the Journey to the West has been recognized by the Emperor of Man, and Tang Sanzang has been appointed as the one to obtain the scriptures. Naturally, there is no need for him to stay in the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

After leaving a few simplified Chinese characters and magic weapons and giving them to Tang Sanzang, Dizang also left the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Since leaving the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Dizang has traveled all the way west and returned to the Great Leiyin Temple again.

In the Great Leiyin Temple, after meeting Amitabha and Bodhi Patriarch, Dizang immediately reported what happened on this trip.

"Master, Tang Sanzang has been appointed as the one to obtain the scriptures, and the Journey to the West is about to officially begin!" Dizang said.

He is now full of doubts and wants to know the reason immediately.

"Dizang, do you know why we agreed to the request of the Emperor of Man!" Amitabha said with a smile.

After seeing Amitabha's reaction, Dizang's doubts deepened a little.

"Please help me solve my doubts!" ​​Dizang said.

Logically, it is not a good thing for the Western Land to be included in the human race, but he found that his master did not seem to think it was a bad thing.

After hearing what Ksitigarbha said, Bodhi Patriarch and Amitabha smiled at each other and then began to explain.

"The reason why we agreed to this is naturally because it is more beneficial than harmful to our Western religion.

First, the Western land is already barren and there are not many living creatures.

Second, under the rule of the Western religion, the Western land has been a solid block, and even if it surrenders to the human race, it will not change anything.

Moreover, the Journey to the West is related to whether the Western religion can flourish? It is far more important than the current Western land!" Bodhi Patriarch said.

In their view, this matter did not cause any loss to the Western religion, which is why they agreed to the request of the Human Emperor.

He also understood that the human race would become more prosperous after unifying the prehistoric land.

However, they can use this matter as a springboard to better spread the Western religion.

With the opportunity of Buddhism spreading eastward, Western religion can spread quickly among the human race, and even swallow up the human race's beliefs.

They have always had greater ambitions, but they have not had such an opportunity. Fortunately, the prosperity of Western religion was decided by the Taoist ancestor, and no one can stop it.

The right time, right place, and right people are all on the side of their Western religion. Even if the human race unifies the prehistoric world, it is also to make wedding clothes for their Western religion.

He believes that in the future, among the human race, the number of Western religion believers will inevitably increase sharply, and even become the only one.

This has always been their ambition and the goal they have always wanted to achieve. With such an opportunity, they will naturally decide on this matter immediately.

"Master is indeed far-sighted, and it is the disciple who is too short-sighted!" Dizang's eyes lit up.

He instantly understood the meaning of Bodhi Patriarch, and he also knew that this matter would be of great benefit to Western religion.

"No need to reflect on yourself. Now that the journey to the west has been decided, Sun Wukong and others are very important. Go and guide them quickly!" Amitabha said.

Hearing Amitabha's words, Dizang hurriedly accepted the order and left the Great Leiyin Temple as soon as possible.

He knew the importance of Sun Wukong to the Western religion. The person who would go to the West to obtain the scriptures had been decided, and he still needed to guide the others in the journey to the West.

At the same time, under the Five Fingers Mountain, Sun Wukong continued to practice as usual.

With the help of the power in the Five Fingers Mountain, he continued to sharpen himself, and another monkey particle in his body transformed into a Yuan Monkey.

However, after the transformation of this monkey particle, Sun Wukong did not show any joy.

"Senior, the speed of particle transformation in my body is getting slower and slower." Sun Wukong sighed.

For many years, he has not dared to slack off, and 700 million of the 840 million monkey particles in his body have transformed into Yuan Monkey.

To this day, his cultivation has improved day by day, but the speed of particle transformation in his body has become slower and slower.

Before this, it took him decades to break through to the realm of Daluo Jinxian, and after the breakthrough, the speed of particle transformation in his body did not slow down at all.

In the more than 300 years after breaking through Daluo Jinxian, 600 million monkey particles transformed into Yuan Monkey.

But in the next hundred years, the speed of particle transformation began to slow down. Even though he practiced hard and used the power of the Five Fingers Mountain to hone himself, he only allowed 100 million monkey particles to transform.

Moreover, he could clearly feel that as time went by, the speed of these particles' transformation became slower and slower.

He originally thought that as long as he followed the previous speed, he would definitely be able to make rapid progress, but now this is the case.

The speed of the monkey particles' transformation is far slower than before, and he can't even use the power of the Five Fingers Mountain to hone himself.

"Little monkey, just be content. Your speed is already very fast.

In the prehistoric world, the Golden Immortal is already very extraordinary. Countless Golden Immortals cannot enter this realm even if they practice for tens of thousands of years.

Even among the disciples of the saints, there are countless people who always stay in the Golden Immortal realm and cannot make any further progress.

You can break through the Golden Immortal and make rapid progress in the Golden Immortal realm because of those peaches and elixirs.

A hundred years ago, the power contained in the peaches and elixirs had been exhausted, and your practice speed would naturally be a few points slower.

But even so, your practice speed is far faster than others!" Black Mist explained.

After hearing Black Mist's explanation, Sun Wukong fell silent.

He naturally knew that what Black Mist said made sense, but he was not willing to accept it.

From beginning to end, he did not forget his identity as a chess piece, nor did he forget that Ran Deng suppressed him.

He was eager to break through the Quasi-Sage. Only by breaking through the Quasi-Sage could he defeat Ran Deng and have a chance to get rid of his identity as a chess piece.

He originally thought that before he got rid of the imprisonment of the Five Finger Mountain, he would even have a chance to break through to the Quasi-Sage.

But now it seems that he took it for granted. Now his cultivation speed has slowed down, and he doesn't know when he can break through?

If he can't break through, how can he defeat Ran Deng, and how can he get rid of his identity as a chess piece?

Just as Sun Wukong was thinking, the voice of the black fog sounded in his ears.

"Little monkey, don't worry too much, your chance has come!

Five hundred years have passed, and the journey to the west is about to begin. The people of the Western Church will definitely let you follow someone on the journey to the west.

There are many opportunities in the journey to the west. You just need to follow that person on the journey to the west, and there may be opportunities to go further!"

Hearing what the black fog said, Sun Wukong's eyes lit up.

If there is an opportunity in the journey to the west, what can he do even if he acts as a chess piece for a while?

As long as he can get enough luck in the journey to the west, he believes that he will definitely be able to break through to the Quasi-Sage.

Before this, he was just pretending to be with the person behind the scenes. When he breaks through to the Quasi-Sage, it will be the day when he gets rid of his identity as a chess piece.

"Thank you for your help!" Sun Wukong said.

At this moment, he was already looking forward to the day when the Western religion would come to him.

On this day, a figure had arrived at the foot of the Five Fingers Mountain. This person was none other than Ksitigarbha who had left the Great Leiyin Temple.

"Sun Wukong, do you recognize me?" Ksitigarbha said.

His purpose of coming here was naturally to guide Sun Wukong and let him follow Jin Chanzi on his journey to the West.

In his opinion, Sun Wukong had been suppressed for five hundred years. As long as he put forward the conditions for Sun Wukong to escape from the predicament, Sun Wukong would definitely agree to it.

"Who are you?" Sun Wukong said.

That being said, he had already guessed the identity of this person.

Before this, Senior Black Mist had told him that someone from the Western Religion would definitely come to visit.

This person had a strong aura, similar to that of Huode Xingjun and Puhua Tianzun, and must be a person from the Western Religion.

"I am Ksitigarbha, and I am going to the East to find someone to seek the scriptures by the order of the Buddha. I am passing through this place and want to give you a chance.

In a few days, a person from the Tang Dynasty will come to seek the scriptures. He has the ability to help you escape from the Five Fingers Mountain.

You only need to worship him as your master, follow the teachings, enter my Buddhist sect, and help him go to the Great Leiyin Temple to seek the scriptures. Do you agree?" Ksitigarbha said.

He knew Sun Wukong's talent, and he had broken through to the Daluo Jinxian not long ago. If he relied on the luck in the Journey to the West, it would be very likely to reach a higher realm in time.

The reason why he asked Sun Wukong to worship Jin Chanzi was to completely brand Sun Wukong with the mark of the Western Religion.

Sun Wukong was already a disciple of Bodhi Patriarch. If he became a disciple of Jin Chanzi, he would not be able to get rid of his identity as a member of the Western Religion.

In his opinion, as long as Sun Wukong wanted to escape, he could not refuse his conditions. Becoming a disciple of Jin Chanzi was a foregone conclusion.

"You can go to the Scriptures, but if you want to become a disciple, I don't agree!" Sun Wukong said.

With his understanding of the people behind the scenes, it would definitely not be so easy to get him to become a disciple.

What's more, he had a grudge against the Western Religion and naturally did not want to join the Western Religion.

If Senior Black Mist had not informed him in advance, he would most likely agree to this matter after learning that he could escape.

But now, he already knew about the journey to the West, so he would not agree easily.

Dizang originally thought that Sun Wukong would agree without hesitation, but after hearing Sun Wukong's answer, he was a little confused. He never expected that Sun Wukong did not agree immediately, but instead mentioned conditions to him.

Sun Wukong was extremely important to the Western Religion, so he naturally could not agree to this matter.

"If you don't become a disciple, the people who are seeking scriptures will definitely not help you escape. Don't you want to escape?" Dizang said.

Although he was a little surprised by Sun Wukong's answer, it was just a surprise.

In his opinion, Sun Wukong had been trapped for five hundred years, and Sun Wukong would never refuse such a condition of escaping.

However, Sun Wukong's answer made him stunned.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have been practicing here for many years and I have already gotten used to it. I am too lazy to move!" Sun Wukong said loudly.

From the mouth of Senior Black Mist, he has already understood part of the true meaning of the Journey to the West and the importance of the Journey to the West to the Western Church.

The initiative is in his hands. If he cannot leave the Five Finger Mountain, it is not him who is anxious, but the Western Church. (End of this chapter)
