Chapter 872: Journey to the West and its aftermath

The journey westward!

At this time, a terrible legend was circulating on the journey to the West.

Legend has it that there were four peerless bandits in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, who were heading towards the Leiyin Temple in Lingshan Mountain in the Western Heaven.

Countless monsters along the way suffered at their hands.

Passing by the Skull Mountain Bone Cave.

When Lady White Bone saw that Tang Sanzang was handsome, she became greedy for his body and wanted to have a good conversation with him. However, Tang Sanzang was extremely unromantic. Several rays of light came out of the tube, and Lady White Bone lost one of her clones.

Lady Bai Gu followed the style of a dog who abuses her husband thousands of times but still loves him like her first love. She changed two bodies to meet Tang Sanzang, but eventually she completely ruined her life.

A little demon in the White Bone Lady's cave spread the news, and for a while the demon world gave Tang Sanzang the nickname "Tang Sanzang".

Later, news came out about what they had done along the way, which was really chilling.

When Tang Sanzang passed by Boyue Cave in Wanzi Mountain, he took advantage of the time when the Yellow Robe Monster was working outside and abducted his wife.

Passing by the Lotus Cave in Pingdingshan, they stole the magic weapons of Jinjiao and Yinjiao, and killed their godmother.

···
Countless good people in the demon world suffered from their harm.

The brutality of the four men traveling west is enough to stop a child from crying.

The East is full of fierce bandits, leaving no grass to grow.

There is no surrender in front of them, only reincarnation.

It is said that ant nests would be doused with boiling water, earthworms would be chopped vertically, eggs would be shaken to separate the yolks, and dogs would be slapped twice when they left.

For a time, the demons in the West were in a state of panic all day long.

Rumor has it that Tang Sanzang, the leader of the East Land bandits, wants to clear out all the demons in the Western world and talk to Tathagata Buddha about abdication.

Countless demons wished they could eat Tang Sanzang's flesh and drink his blood to avenge their countless compatriots.

unfortunately,

Not only is Tang Sanzang powerful, he also has three powerful subordinates by his side.

Sun Xingzhe is the best at making monsters experience the hardship of a mother's pregnancy for ten months;

The most terrifying ones are his other two henchmen.

Punish the eight realms, preferably without a sword, and no demon can escape from them alive.

He killed without end, and his killing intent was extremely strong. It was rumored that he would even kill Tang Sanzang when he got ruthless.

··········
The quiet and peaceful Xitian Leiyin Temple.

After the incident at Mirror-Reflecting Lake, the Buddha gave a sermon here for half a day.

suddenly,

The Tathagata Buddha closed his eyes and sensed the Three Realms for a while, then a strange expression appeared on his face. He said to Guanyin Bodhisattva: "Tang Sanzang, Sun Xingzhe, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujin, what do you think, Master?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva was stunned by the question, not knowing what this was about. But it was probably related to Tang Sanzang mentioned by the Buddha, so she immediately counted with her fingers. Her soul quickly connected to the Heavenly Dao, and saw some things that happened during this period from the Heavenly Dao.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was surprised and said: "This..."

The Tathagata Buddha is still sitting cross-legged on a high place, his posture calm and composed.

Half a day in the Leiyin Temple in the Western Heaven is equivalent to a year and a half in the mortal world.

Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "It seems that Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, they ate the Taoist fruit of Wu Zu on the Mirror Lake and some inexplicable changes occurred."

Buddha Tathagata agreed, "Yes, there was indeed something wrong there."

Guanyin Bodhisattva speculated: "I don't know whether this change is good or not..."

Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly said: "Oh no! My fish."

In an instant, Guanyin Bodhisattva snapped her fingers and the King of Inspiration died.

He was roasted and eaten by Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "I will go and capture them all immediately to wash away the influence of Wu Zu Dao Guo." But Tathagata Buddha shook his head and said, "No need to go."

Guanyin Bodhisattva asked doubtfully, "Buddha, they are so powerful now, how can the ninety-nine eighty-one be gathered together? The goldfish I sent were just eaten by them as snacks, and cannot be counted as a difficulty by the Heavenly Dao at all."

The Tathagata Buddha said: "The rise of Buddhism is a trend of heaven and earth, and no one can stop it. They are about to pass by the Golden Gourd Cave in Golden Gourd Mountain, so there is no need for us to do anything ourselves."

Guanyin Bodhisattva was briefly confused after hearing this, but immediately understood: "What the Buddha meant is..."

The Tathagata Buddha nodded slightly and said, "Yes!"

The expressions of Guanyin Bodhisattva and Tathagata Buddha were not very good, because they guessed that the price to be paid for letting Taishang Laojun take action would definitely be high.

·······
Inside the space cave filled with chaotic mist.

Wang Ming's nostrils continuously absorbed the chaotic mist into his body in order to strengthen his body.

As soon as it enters the body, blood will spurt out and the flesh will explode. It is extremely bloody and cruel.

But at this time, Wang Ming's condition was getting better and better.

Wang Ming has already obtained the power of merit on the journey to the west.

but,

Wang Ming did not use it to improve his cultivation level.

The power of merit is theoretically a shortcut to improving your cultivation without any consequences.

But in Wang Ming's view, it was only a relative absence of trouble.

The level of cultivation enhanced by the power of merit will indeed not pose any hidden dangers, but it is still weaker than that achieved through one's own cultivation.

So Wang Ming used it to train his body.

Previously, Wang Ming used this extremely dangerous chaotic mist to train his body, which took him a full thousand years. He only succeeded in transforming one percent of his flesh and blood, allowing a little bit of immortal divinity to be born in his flesh and blood.

After gaining the power of merit during the Journey to the West, Wang Ming's immortal divinity in his flesh and blood increased to 5% in just half a year. This progress can be said to be very gratifying.

It is comparable to four thousand years of ascetic practice.

Wang Ming stopped practicing and said to himself: "No wonder so many people want to calculate the power of merit. This feeling is simply addictive."

"Master, can we go see our child, Xiaoyu? Please."

Wang Ming heard the pleading voice of the fox girl coming from the other side of his retreat space, and sighed: "You made Jade Ding Zhenren swear that if he didn't accept you as his disciples, he would not have a good end. Do you remember?"

The fox sister and the fifth brother behind the space mist looked at each other and said: "Of course I remember."

Wang Mingdao: "Later, Jade Ding Zhenren saw that your husband had bad behavior and decided to default on the debt."

Fox Girl asked doubtfully, "Is there any problem with this? Didn't Jade Ding Master teach me the "Heaven-Splitting Palm" later?"

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "It wasn't Jade Ding Zhenren who taught you the "Heaven-Splitting Palm."

Fox Girl was confused: "Who else could it be if not Jade Ding Zhenren?"

Wang Ming sighed and said, "It's Yuanshi Tianzun."

Fox Sister and Fifth Brother were shocked and asked, "What?"

The fox girl calmed down and said, "I don't think I'm worthy of the saint's attention!"

Wang Ming said: "You are indeed not worthy of attention, but if he does not teach you the "Heaven-Splitting Palm", his disciple Jade Ding Zhenren will not have a good end. Tianzun is famous for protecting his shortcomings."

The fifth brother was puzzled and asked, "What does this have to do with us not being able to see Xiaoyu?"

Wang Mingdao: "There is a law of heaven above us, and we cannot make promises carelessly. Fox Sister swears not to teach you the "Heaven-Splitting Palm", otherwise she will beat you to death. Why are you here?"

When the fifth brother and fox sister heard this, they felt a chill all over their bodies.

Wang Ming said: “Originally, you two would have been beaten to death by Sun Wukong’s golden cudgel. I wanted to resolve your calamity with the Mirror Lake Calamity, but I didn’t expect that the calamity aura in you still existed.

I have no choice but to take you into this space shrouded in chaotic mist.

There is no breath of heaven here that can prevent you from being beaten to death in accordance with your oath."
