Journey to the West: Don’t mess with that monster

Chapter 407: The Blue Emperor Helps Dragon to Get an Opportunity

Emperor Zhang Qing couldn't help but sigh that good people will eventually be rewarded.

When I first came to the Dragon Tomb to take Zhongshan, these dragon corpses mistook me for Xiangliu.

It took a lot of effort, but in the end he not only got Zhongshan, but also recognized Gonggong as his younger brother. For so many years, Gonggong worked hard for him in Beijuluzhou.

This time, Zhang Qingdi entered the Dragon Tomb again, but unexpectedly, he obtained the residual soul of Zhu Jiuyin.

According to Gonggong, this place should be where the Emperor of Heaven imprisoned him.

But why is the remaining soul of Zhu Jiuyin here?

Zhang Qingdi asked the four sea dragon kings, but they had no idea. They still thought this was the ancestral tomb of their dragon clan.

"Don't cry, why are you crying?" Zhang Qingdi looked at Ao Guang and asked.

"That is my father's body! Although he is dead, he is still thinking about us, his descendants." After Ao Guang said this, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas actually started crying with him.

Emperor Zhang Qing thought their crying was unpleasant, so he took the dragon corpse to the Golden Light Cave. Upon learning the identity of the dragon corpse, Ao Bing kowtowed three times in all seriousness.

The only thing left was to cleanse the soul with thunder and re-integrate the spirit and soul without any setbacks.

On the other side, Tang Seng and his disciples thanked Sun Er and set off again.

Everything along the way is bright and beautiful, and the ground is covered with flowers and plants.

A few drops of snow are left on the plum blossoms, and the wheat fields are covered with clouds.

The flowers are fragrant, the wind is warm, the clouds are clear and the sun is new.

The willows by the roadside are green, and the sweet rain brings spring to all things.

The four masters and apprentices were sightseeing on the road, riding slowly on horseback, when they suddenly heard a shout, which sounded like the cry of thousands of people.

Elder Tang was immediately frightened. He was so scared that he stopped his horse and stopped moving forward, and hurriedly turned back to look at the monkey.

This movement is smooth and done in one go.

"Wukong, where does the noise come from? Is there a monster?"

The monkey laughed and said, "What kind of monster could make such a noise?"

"Indeed, that sound was like the earth cracking and the mountain collapsing." Zhu Bajie sighed hurriedly.

"It's like thunder and lightning." Sha Seng also said.

"If it's not a demon, then it's the sound of a person shouting or a horse neighing?" Elder Tang speculated carefully.

"Let me see what that sound is." The monkey laughed when he heard it.

The monkey leaped up into the air on a cloud, and saw a city in the distance. There was a faint auspicious light, but no trace of murderous aura.

"It looks like a good place! But why is there such a deafening noise?" the monkey murmured to himself.

The monkey then rode the cloud and got closer to the city.

I saw a piece of open space on the sandy beach outside the city gate, where many monks were standing and pulling carts.

The monkey was curious and pressed down the cloud to look again.

The car was loaded with bricks, tiles, wood, adobe and the like.

The uphill slope on the beach is the highest, and there is a small path along the ridge, with two peaks.

Although the weather was warm, those people were dressed in rags and looked very embarrassed.

“Is this a temple building?

The crops here are plentiful, and there are no laborers to be found, so this monk is working hard himself?"

The monkey was still wondering, when he saw two young Taoist priests staggering out of the city gate.

When the monks saw the Taoist coming, they were terrified and redoubled their efforts, pulling the cart with great hatred.

The monkey immediately understood what was going on. "I guess the monks are afraid of the Taoist priest, otherwise why would they pull so hard?"

But on second thought, he decided to go and find out.

This saves me from being unable to explain clearly when asked by Tang Seng.

Then Zhu Bajie would mock himself for not knowing the way forward.

The monkey turned into a Taoist priest when he landed on the ground. It can be seen that Taoist priests are popular here.

After a conversation, the two young Taoist priests' vigilance disappeared.

The monkey took the opportunity to ask, "Why do we Taoists in Chechi country drive those monks like this?"

"Hahaha, sir, you are asking about this." One of the young Taoist priests laughed. "This is a long story, because a few years ago, the people suffered from a severe drought, there was no rain, and the crops were gone.

Regardless of whether they were emperors or ministers, or common people, big or small, every family bathed, burned incense, and prayed to heaven for rain.

But there was no effect, and it seemed that if it didn’t rain, the Chechi Kingdom would be in danger of collapse. Suddenly, three immortals descended from the sky to save the people and sent down sweet dew.”

"So, those three immortals are from the Taoist sect, right?" The monkey naturally understood immediately. "They are in power, so they control these monks?"

"Brother Taoist, you are wrong!" one of the young Taoist priests said dissatisfiedly.

"It was only because these three immortals had just arrived that the monks persuaded the king not to believe them. But after the rain of spiritual power finally fell, the monks had nothing to say."

The monkey didn’t expect it to be like this, “That’s a bit too much.

Why not just execute the main culprit? Why do we have to do this to all the monks?"

"Brother Dao, please don't worry. I haven't finished yet."

"Among the three fairies, Tiger Fairy is a man of upright character, and wanted to settle accounts with those monks directly.

But the Deer Immortal felt compassion for the world and persuaded the Tiger Immortal.

The Tiger Immortal then began to debate Buddhism with these monks.

Little did they know that most of the monks in this country were just unqualified ones, so the Tiger Immortal made them do three years of hard labor and then quickly returned to secular life.

Those who truly have the Dharma, on the contrary, are not punished at all.” said the young Taoist priest.

Hearing about the Tiger Immortal, the Deer Immortal, and the mention of rain, the monkey immediately guessed the origins of these three immortals.

The monkeys couldn't help but find it funny. Master Qing helped them through a difficulty, and then he returned the difficulty to them.

To be honest, Zhang Qingdi had already given up on this difficulty of Che Chi Kingdom.

In the original book, there are three creatures, a tiger, a deer and a sheep, which are considered to be harming the monks.

But now the three of them just felt that their master had always disliked those monks who deceived the world and stole the reputation. But they had also seen the real Buddha, so they were like this. So this difficulty depended on how Tang Seng and his disciples chose.

If they help the monks, they will fight with tigers, deer and sheep.

If they didn't care, the three of them would just send the four masters and apprentices over there.

After the monkey heard what they said, he disappeared.

A moment later, the monkey appeared in front of Tang Seng and told him the whole situation of Chechi Kingdom.

However, the monkey did not tell the origins of the three monsters.

For a moment, Tang Seng didn't know what to do.

Never mind, those three did the right thing.

No matter what, they encountered this incident on their journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and it certainly didn't happen for no reason. If the Buddha asked about it when they got to the West, they would probably have a hard time explaining it.

"Wukong, what do you think?" Tang Seng looked at the monkey and asked.

"That depends on what Master plans to do." The monkey kicked the ball back.

If Tang Seng knew what to do, he would not have asked the monkey.

He turned his head and looked at his sweet little girl.

Zhu Bajie smiled and said, "Master, we encountered this incident on our way to the west. If we do nothing about it, what should we say when we see the Buddha and he asks us about it?
I, Old Pig, think, who cares about the immortal, let Monkey King kill him. We can just continue on our way."

"Second Brother is right!" Sha Seng said quickly.

"Humph, idiot! You make it sound easy.

Not to mention the status and position of these three people in Chechi Kingdom. If they were to offend or be killed, they would be hunted down by the government.

What do you think we should do now that those mortals have surrounded us?
I can't let you take a rake and kill them all." The monkey sneered.

He was cautious and did not tell the origins of the three monsters.

"Big Brother is right."

"How can we kill innocent people?" Tang Seng said hurriedly.

"Master is right!" After saying this, Sha Seng felt that he had completed his mission for the day and could now relax with peace of mind.

So the three brothers looked at Tang Seng together.

Of course, let him make the decision...

Elder Tang suddenly lost his attention.

The monkey thought for a moment and said, "Master, do you really want to save those monks?"

"Amitabha! After all, we are all Buddhists. We can't just ignore it when we see it." Tang Seng said with his hands clasped together.

The monkey pretended to be in trouble.

Zhu Bajie felt that the risk factor of this incident was not high.

And he was able to save so many monks. If he could reach the Western Paradise, wouldn’t that be a great achievement?

Zhu Bajie thought that the monkey looked down on those monks who deceived the world and stole their reputation, so he didn't intend to care about them.

Zhu Bajie spoke first and said, "Well, those three people only rely on their ability to bring rain, so let's compete with them.

When we win, there will be no harm to the relationship.

Just ask them to release those monks, so that we can give an explanation to the Buddha when we meet him."

"That's great! That's great." Tang Seng said happily. "Bajie is really very wise!"

The monkey secretly pouted...

Sha Seng looked at Zhu Bajie.

I didn't see any great wisdom, but I did see a lot of clever tricks.

But never mind, just take it easy!

"By the way, Senior Brother, what are the names of those three people?"

"The eldest is called Tiger Power Immortal, the second is called Deer Power Immortal, and the third is called Sheep Power Immortal."

Only Elder Tang thinks the names of these three people are impressive.

"What magical powers do they have?" Zhu Bajie asked again.

He actually wanted to find a fault in the monkey and then provoke him.

Zhu Bajie thought he was very capable in coming up with ideas, so the physical work should naturally be left to the monkey.

The monkey took one look and knew what the pig was planning.

"They can call the wind and rain, turn water into oil with a flip of their hands, and turn stone into gold. They can seize the fortune of heaven and earth and change the mysteries of the stars." The monkey said in a serious tone.

"These are the information I have gathered, but I still need to wait and see for the details."

Zhu Bajie was speechless for a moment, and the monkey said hurriedly, "Master, it is only a matter of a few strokes for me to subdue demons and monsters.

But I, Old Sun, really don’t know how to fight like this.

If someone gets hurt in a hurry, it will be bad.”

"Indeed! Indeed!" Tang Seng nodded. "It seems that Bajie is the only one who can handle this matter."

"Master is right!" the monkey said, imitating Sha Seng's tone.

Sha Seng spoke three times a day, and after saying three times, he would not say anything more.

He can be called the Buddha of the world of slacking off!

Zhu Bajie understood that things had come to this point and he had no choice but to step forward himself.

Humph! Let them see what I am capable of today.

So the four masters and apprentices walked into Chechi Kingdom together.

After entering the Chechi Kingdom, I didn't expect that the people here live a rich life. It's obviously a prosperous time.

They walked for a while and found the most prosperous place in the city, which was the Sanqing Temple.

The incense was very popular and believers came in an endless stream.

When Zhu Bajie saw this, he felt a little regretful. Why did he become the first to take action?
