Journey to the West: Heavenly Creation

Chapter 147 Resources Are King
One day in the sky, one year on the earth.

On the way back to Lingshan with Guanyin Bodhisattva and others, Sanzang and his disciples had already left Longevity Hill and continued on their way westward.

But at this moment, they are also discussing the follow-up countermeasures.

Although Ao Lie turned into a human form, his identity is still only a mount, so he has no right to speak.

Wukong doesn't care much about everything, or he is used to it, and anxiety almost never appears on him.

So the one with the most problems is Bajie.

"Master, if you offend Bodhisattva and Lingshan like this, should we learn the scriptures?"

Rather than being curious, Bajie is more worried. Journey to the West was originally a task given by Lingshan. The Buddha is equivalent to the biggest leader on the Westward Journey. Now that you don’t even listen to the leader, can you complete this task?
Even if it is completed, I am afraid it will be futile and thankless.

"As the saying goes, you can't work hard, and you can't get tired if you die! Master, can you give the old pig a solid background, what exactly do you want to do?"

He kept talking about you, obviously thinking that Lay Jingxuan understood all this long ago, only him and Wukong, a silly monkey, were still in the dark.

"You listened to the boss everywhere, so what happened?"

Wukong disdains, and starts to attack Bajie again.

"Don't look at me, I don't know anything, you can ask Master about this!"

Layman Jingxuan also had only a half-knowledge of Taizong and Sanzang's plans, so he took advantage of the situation to throw the pot away.

Sanzang looked at a scripture slowly, showing a calm look, and asked seemingly casually,
"Working can't be controlled, and it's useless even if you're exhausted. The truth is good. Tell me, this guy... who is it?"

"Isn't it the West Heaven Buddha?"

Bajie blurted out, which immediately drew Wukong's sneer.

Layman Jingxuan turned his head silently, while Ao Lie gave the second senior brother a sympathetic look.

"It's not him, isn't it?"

Bajie pointed to the sky with his finger, "God's will?"

"A nerd is a nerd, no wonder...!"

Wukong shook his head and sighed, walked aside by himself and ignored Bajie.

Ao Lie couldn't bear it anymore, interrupted and said,

"Second Senior Brother, why can't you understand? The Dong family is right in front of your eyes. Whatever the Master says, it is what it is!"

oh oh!

Bajie opened his eyes wide, looking a little bewildered.

It's not that he can't see the situation clearly, and doesn't understand the reason why the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, but he is really worried that if Sanzang and Lingshan are completely deadlocked, his westward journey will die halfway.

The goal of piercing through Mount Sumeru is grand, but if it develops into an enemy of the entire Lingshan Mountain, then even setting foot on Mount Sumeru may be an extravagant hope!

"Buddha is not far away from Lingshan, Lingshan is only in your heart."

Sanzang finally raised his head, looked at Ao Lie and Bajie, "everyone has a spiritual mountain pagoda, so that they can cultivate under the spiritual mountain pagoda. The Bodhisattva's saying is correct, and there is no bias if one's heart and mind are in the Dharma. So I asked Ask yourself, when you said this sentence, did you first think of whether you were afraid of offending the Buddha, or whether you wanted to obtain the Western Scriptures."

"Master's words are very deep, but Lao Zhu agrees but doesn't understand, so I want to ask Master, what are you thinking in your heart when you say this, Master?"

....
Ah!
The conversation between Bajie and Sanzang made Layman Jingxuan frown.

So this is Buddhism, everything is said in a vague and ambiguous way, and it is unpredictable, but if it is so unnutritive, it will not be able to draw a conclusion for a day.

But Sanzang was used to this, so he couldn't say much.

In short, along the way, Bajie asked why many times, but every time he was led off by Sanzang's sharp edge, and in the end, he had no choice but to give up.

They walked west all the way for half a month, but they didn't meet a single goblin.

There was no test, it was unbelievably calm.

It made people suspect that the Buddha of the Western Paradise had already forgotten them.

"Look, let me just say, why do you have to offend him to death? It's a good thing now, the Buddha will ignore us. Even if we go to Lingshan, it will be futile to go back and forth."

Bajie began to complain.

After being reincarnated into a pig fetus, he had a lot of problems, and he had the most negative emotions among all the people.

"That's not right, you are free too, Gao Cuilan is still waiting for you in Gao Laozhuang!"

Layman Jingxuan rebuked Bajie casually.

Then, both of them froze on the spot.

This sentence was first said to Marshal Tianpeng by Layman Jingxuan by the Qixing Lake when he was in the Heavenly Court.

It's just that the canopy at that time didn't know where Gao Laozhuang was or who Gao Cuilan was, so he didn't take it to heart.

Listening to it now, it sounded like a thunderclap.

Bajie strode forward and grabbed Layman Jingxuan by the neck:
"You also said that in the Heavenly Court. It's just that it hasn't started yet. How do you know about Gao Laozhuang and Gao Cuilan, huh? Also, you clearly said that I was beaten to a pig's womb, but you didn't know about it beforehand. How do you explain this?"

"Ah, let go, you let go!"

Layman Jingxuan realized that he had said something wrong, but it was too late.

Bajie's big hands like steel hoops made him dizzy and out of breath. He just wanted to break free first and then slowly find a way to make up for it.

"fool!"

Seeing that Bajie was going crazy, Wukong also ran over and pulled hard.

Coupled with Taier's assistance, Layman Jingxuan was finally "rescued".

"If you don't speak clearly today, the old pig will never end with you!"

The eighth ring is holding the layman Jingxuan, his veins are twitching violently, and his eye circles are red.

At this moment, he was really sad.

Layman Jingxuan: ...

Where did this come from?
At the critical moment, Taier was still vigilant, and helped Layman Jingxuan out of the siege with one sentence:
"Master's memory has been sealed by Old Tiansi, he doesn't remember many things himself, so don't embarrass him anymore!"

Oh, yes yes!
Layman Jingxuan put his head in his hands and did pain and amnesia, and finally got away with it temporarily.

But after that, I always felt that the way Bajie looked at him was very wrong.

It was also from this day that Bajie's target changed from Wukong to Sha Wujing.

……

Another half month passed, and after half a month of searching around, Sanzang and the others finally understood why the demon disappeared.

It's not that Lingshan Buddhism gave up on their test, but that as the four major continents merged into one, the situation on the ground has also undergone great changes.

Many big monsters, relying on their high abilities or powerful magic weapons, have occupied the top of the mountain, and gradually evolved into a situation where the heroes are separated.

For example, the Bull Demon King's Jilei Mountain has gathered millions of demon cultivators, and the number is still increasing.

For another example, the blue lion, white elephant and nine-headed lion king are even more powerful.

And the origin of all this is naturally the spiritual vein.

The separatism and scramble of the group of monsters is based on the spiritual veins. In places where the spiritual veins are scarce, even the demons disappear without a trace.

It turned out to be so.

Layman Jingxuan pondered for a few days, and finally thought of a countermeasure.

"The so-called Journey to the West is fundamentally a test for those who learn the scriptures. Since there is no problem in Lingshan, we will create difficulties. How about facing the difficulties?"

Looking back, Bajie and Wukong didn't understand what this fake Sha Wujing was trying to do.

"Tell me!"

Only Sanzang, as always, was calm and calm.

"As the saying goes, resources are king. In today's world, whoever owns the spiritual veins will own the future. If you want to settle the disputes in the world, just like what you did to Wuzhuang Temple that day, you only need to draw the salary from the bottom of the pot and use the spiritual veins. If we hold it in our hands, the chaos of demons and demons will be destroyed without attack. Wouldn’t it be twice the result with half the effort to solve the catastrophe of demons on the Westward Journey Road at once?”

hum!

Bajie picked his nostrils and said with a sneer,

"Have you finally admitted that it was you who did the tricks in Wuzhuang Temple?"

"There are no spirit stones in the lower realm, and we can't guard the spirit veins for a long time. Even if we get them, we will lose them soon. What's the use of that?"

Wukong's mind turned quickly, and he immediately raised a new problem.
