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

The old monk was very unhappy with Zhang Qingdi's sarcasm.

He turned to the trembling Scorpion Demon and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

“Woo woo woo… I’m not afraid of anything! I’m willing to tell you anything. I just ask you not to let me go into that bowl.” The Scorpion Demon said almost in collapse.

Zhang Qingdi said with disdain, "You Buddhists are really compassionate and kind-hearted, and you are good at saving people."

"Get out of my way!" the old monk said angrily. "Have you ever been to the Buddha's bowl?"

"Ah!!" When the Scorpion Demon heard the name, he immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The old monk stopped talking and put the Scorpion Demon into his bowl. "Take a good rest in my bowl."

Zhang Qingdi stood there and said, "What has this Scorpion Demon experienced?"

"Don't you have a precious lotus lantern? Why don't you use it?"

Zhang Qingdi told the old monk about the magical uses of the Precious Lotus Lantern.

"That lamp is extremely strong and yang. She has already become a ghost. How can she withstand it?" Zhang Qingdi said unhappily.

"That lamp is very extraordinary. You must preserve it well." The old monk instructed Zhang Qingdi.

"Master, rest assured. When I get your relics in the future, I will definitely put them together."

After Zhang Qingdi finished speaking, he was beaten and kicked and left.

The old monk’s bowl is different from Tathagata’s.

After seven or eight days, the little white dragon came to find Zhang Qingdi.

"Brother Zhang, Master asked you to go find him."

"Wait a minute, Liu'er Mihou is about to lose." Zhang Qingdi said with a smile.

In mid-air, Yang Erlang was fighting with the Six-Eared Macaque.

"I'm really surprised that you can last a hundred rounds." Yang Erlang said with a smile.

Finally, Liu'er Macaque was almost at his limit. He swung the stick in his hand and used his strongest move.

Suddenly, a thick stick fell from the sky and hit Yang Erlang.

Yang Erlang finally got serious.

"Big Brother, hit him!" Little White Dragon shouted loudly.

Xiaosheng was also cheering for Liu'er Mihou.

But the gap in strength was still quite big. With a swing of Yang Erlang's three-pointed, double-edged sword, the six-eared macaque was knocked into the ground.

However, the big stick that fell from the sky actually knocked Yang Erlang back seven or eight feet.

"Liu Er, you have made great progress." Yang Erlang stood up and said with a smile.

It took the six-eared macaque some time to get up.

But when the six-eared macaque stood up, he smiled and said, "Second Master Yang, how do my current abilities compare to that monkey's?"

"You are now almost as powerful as he was when he caused havoc in Heaven." Yang Erlang thought for a while and said, "But it's hard to say how powerful that monkey is now.

He had been suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years, so logically his strength should have been greatly damaged. However, the last time I saw him, he was fighting against Daozu's Green Ox.

His strength has not declined but has improved. I dare not say that I am the strongest fighter in heaven anymore."

Hearing this, Liu Er Mihou was not discouraged. Instead, he smiled and said, "Second Master Yang, just wait and see. I will definitely catch up with him when the time comes."

"I'll wait and see." Yang Erlang said with a smile.

The reason why he likes this place is not only because of its beautiful environment and abundant spiritual energy, but also because the fairies and people here are full of vitality and hope.

In Guanjiangkou, both the Meishan brothers and those grass-roots gods have lost their ambition to make progress.

"But compared to the Monkey King, you still have a shortcoming." Yang Erlang said after a moment's thought.

"What shortcomings?" Liu'er Mihou immediately became alert.

He was not angry when he heard this, but rather felt a little expectant.

Because Master Qingdi said that only by knowing your own shortcomings and then correcting them can you make progress.

"Weapons!" Yang Erlang said with a smile. "I don't need to say more about what the monkey used.

But your weapons can be considered top-grade.

But it is still a little bit inferior to Dinghai Shenzhen. "

Hearing this, Liu Er Mihou immediately became excited, "I'll go find Brother Xiao Feng now!"

"Just let Xiao Feng go, and spare your merit points." Zhang Qingdi said unhappily. "The Monkey King's Dinghai Shenzhen was forged by my great uncle... Daozu.

Xiao Feng's skills in refining equipment are indeed very good now, but they are still a little worse than those of his old man.

But you can't count on him, he has only opened the furnace once in all these years."

The reason why Laojun opened the furnace that time was not only because of Zhang Qingdi, but also for the face of Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Hearing this, Liu Er Mihou was not discouraged, "It doesn't matter! Since my weapon is not as good as his, I will practice hard.

When I defeat him in strength, it doesn’t matter if my weapons are inferior to his.”

"Good! You have great ambition!" Yang Erlang clapped his hands in praise.

The little saint also smiled and said, "You and the monkey are both my good friends. If one day you want to fight him, you really don't have a suitable weapon.

I will lend you my master's hammer."

"Forget about the hammer." The six-eared macaque shook his head repeatedly.

There are only a few people in the entire Jinao Island who can pick up Zhang Qingdi's hammer. Up to now, Xiaosheng can only produce five hammers, and Zhang Qingdi has eliminated that pair of hammers.

"Don't worry, your master has probably prepared a good stick for you." Zhang Qingdi said with a smile.

"Really?" asked the six-eared macaque excitedly.

"I fought with Weituo last time and stole his demon-subduing pestle." Zhang Qingdi said with a smile. "When did you steal Weituo Bodhisattva's demon-subduing pestle?" Yang Erlang asked in disbelief. "You actually defeated him!"

"Don't you know about this?" Zhang Qingdi said with a smile.

"If you guys don't mention this kind of thing, who else would dare to say anything?"

"Anyway, I fought him, and he was really strong," Zhang Qingdi recalled. "I didn't beat him, and I ended up injuring him with a trick."

"That's pretty impressive too." Yang Erlang said with emotion. "When I was in Guanjiangkou, I felt that I had been granted the title of True Lord and there was nothing left worth pursuing.

I have indeed been slacking off in my cultivation for too long.

Xiaosheng, Liu'er, from today on, I will fight with you two once a day!
We can either go to Tianwaitian and fight with all our might. "

"Okay!" Xiaosheng and the other two naturally agreed without hesitation.

Xiao Bailong wanted to speak, but when he thought about his own strength, he shut up.

"Your master wants to see me, so let's go together.

I guess he has prepared your stick and is just waiting for a chance to give it to you." Zhang Qingdi said to Liuer Mihou.

"Let's go together! Let's go together!" said the Six-Eared Macaque excitedly.

"But I'm not sure what to give." Zhang Qingdi added.

When they arrived at the old monk's hilltop, the Six-Eared Macaque knew that they had something to do, so he stood aside and did not ask any questions in a hurry.

"Is this... the Scorpion Spirit?" Zhang Qingdi asked with slight surprise.

"Well, after being baptized by my Buddhist teachings, this demon seems to be reborn." The old monk said with a smile.

Zhang Qingdi couldn't help but nodded, and this time he was not sarcastic.

In the past, the Scorpion Spirit was full of charm and looked like a nightclub celebrity. Now, the Scorpion Spirit looks pious and is even more decent than a decent girl.

“Thank you very much for the enlightenment from the ancient Buddha,” said the Scorpion Demon, clasping his hands together.

The old monk nodded kindly.

"Come, tell us what happened back then."

"Yes, Ancient Buddha." There was no fear in the Scorpion Demon's eyes anymore.

“I was born in Lingshan Mountain. Since I was young, I have heard the Tathagata preaching and my spiritual wisdom has been awakened.

When Tathagata was giving a lecture, I wanted to move closer to him so I could hear him more clearly. But Tathagata actually stretched out his hand to push me. At that time, I was in a bad temper and didn't know how high the heaven was or how deep the earth was, so I directly stung him with the poison stake.

To be honest, I didn't think my horse-turning poison stake could sting him. I didn't expect it to hurt Tathagata in an instant.

Later, Tathagata captured me directly and put me into his bowl.

In that bowl, I experienced great terror every day." The Scorpion Demon was trembling slightly as he spoke of this.

"The Tathagata's bowl can reflect the true face of all things.

They are two extremes compared to the old monk's alms bowl.

There are 180 billion kinds of disasters in his bowl, and no one who enters the bowl will not succumb. "The old monk said seriously.

“But later, when I came out of the bowl, my poisonous stake was indeed powerful, but it seemed like I had lost something.” The Scorpion Demon said with a wry smile.

"Let me take a look!" said the old monk.

The Scorpion Demon revealed his true form, and the old monk reached out and gently stroked the Scorpion Demon's poisonous stake.

Zhang Qingdi saw a faint golden light on the horse-falling poison stake, but the golden light was almost negligible.

"I know why." said the old monk.

The Scorpion Spirit then regained his human form...

"Why!" The Scorpion Spirit himself was also very curious.

"I don't know whether you are lucky or unlucky, little demon." The old monk sighed. "You have gained the power of cause and effect by chance because you listened to Tathagata's sermon.

That is indeed a power that can hurt Tathagata.

But the Tathagata has taken you into his bowl and has taken away the power of cause and effect from you."

"The power of cause and effect! It sounds very ordinary." Zhang Qingdi said from the side.

The old monk glared at him.

Zhang Qingdi had no intention of shutting up, "Now that we all come to listen to your lecture, can we obtain the power of cause and effect?"

"Do you think this thing is cabbage?" the old monk scolded angrily.

Zhang Qingdi whispered, "Is it because the master is not as good as Tathagata?"

"I'm not as good as him! How am I not as good as him?" asked the old monk angrily.

Zhang Qingdi could only change the subject, "I originally thought this was a magical power, and I thought I could go and play with Tathagata after I learned it...

I didn’t expect this to be the result.”

"It's not that there is no solution." The old monk sneered. "You can fight on Lingshan Mountain, defeat the Arhats, and then kill the Bodhisattvas.

Finally, let Tathagata use the bowl to shine on you, and you will be able to gain the power of cause and effect from the bowl.

The power of cause and effect neither increases nor decreases, and it is difficult to destroy through eternity.

Tathagata probably didn't expect that his preaching would actually create something that could hurt himself.

The safest place for the power of cause and effect is in the bowl."

"How many bowls does Tathagata have?" Zhang Qingdi suddenly asked.

"Of course it's one!"

"If you say so, I do have a plan." Zhang Qingdi looked at the six-eared macaque, "It's just a little time-consuming..." (End of this chapter)
