Me and countless me.

Chapter 581 An Unfinished but Complete Calamity

This was a very funny thing, but he couldn't laugh because he also saw the Landa Monastery Magic Manual in the monkey's hand. The full name of this thing was "Landa Monastery Magic Manual 1.0", which was something he distributed everywhere when he was soliciting investment.

It was filled with all sorts of strange spells, some of which could even bring him bad luck if he wasn't careful.

After all, this thing is essentially the application of the rules of heaven and earth; simply put, it's a mechanism. In many cases, it can only be solved by following specific methods. It's the same as the mutual generation and restraint between some monsters and gods in the world; there must be a fixed solution to overcome it.

Even if he was hit by this move and didn't have the ability to undo it immediately, it didn't mean he would be stumped.

"Form is emptiness."

He looked at his body and said this sentence. The next moment, Sun Wukong felt that the spell he released had no effect!

The reason is simple: this move is nothing to a cultivator who is well-versed in Buddhist principles and can stabilize his own state of mind. As long as he shows enough mental strength, he can easily break through it, so it is of no use to him.

After Li Ke finished explaining, he gave Sun Wukong a half-smile, which startled Sun Wukong so much that he immediately somersaulted away and escaped Li Ke's gaze.

Seeing this, Li Ke sighed, knowing that it would be difficult to make Sun Wukong completely loyal just by relying on this one trial. After all, the abilities of Golden Horn and Silver Horn were only so-so. Once Sun Wukong ran into a wall with Yang Jian, they would jump out and be defeated by Sun Wukong.

There was nothing they could do. Although these two had the Jade Bottle and the Gourd, if Sun Wukong didn't give them any face, they were completely helpless.

Most importantly, the things that Jinjiao and Yinjiao did offended too many people.

If left unattended, Yang Jian and Nezha might not actually kill the two, but Sun Wukong, in a fit of rage, might.

So the people behind them came.

Looking up at an old man riding a bull backwards in the city, Li Ke knew that it wouldn't be long before the Golden Horn and Silver Horn were taken away by him.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong, seeing that his magic had no effect on Li Ke, simply returned to Nezha's side. He found Nezha with a gloomy face, showing no kindness towards his arrival. Just as Sun Wukong was about to say something, he saw the mother and her three children from Li Jing's family, who had been driven out of the house by Li Jing in her anger, now looking around blankly in the wasteland.

Nezha was naturally furious, and when he saw Sun Wukong, he didn't even call him Great Sage anymore.

"Look what you've done, you monkey! Li Jing blamed this whole thing on this mother and son and kicked them out of the house. It was a very simple matter, but you interfered and made it like this! You should leave now, and don't let me see you here."

After all, all he wanted was to use a little magic to make Li Jing realize her mistake and correct it. But Sun Wukong's commotion ruined everything, and he ended up getting involved in even more things. The situation for the mother and her three children would also become more difficult. So at this moment, Nezha didn't have a kind expression towards Sun Wukong at all.

Sun Wukong wanted to argue, but he was in the wrong and dared not say anything. He could only repeatedly say that it was his fault and hurriedly headed towards Yang Jian, hoping that Yang Jian would put in a good word for him and discuss how to get back on track for the journey to the West as soon as possible.

but--

“Great Sage, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I really don’t dare to ask you for help, and I don’t know how to help you.”

Yang Jian looked at the monkey, who was already involved but still seemed half-hearted, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"You disrupted Nezha's affairs and cast spells on your master. These are all your faults. It's one thing if you don't repent, but why do you come to me asking me to plead for you? Forget it, you should leave now. My situation can't withstand your spells."

Yang Jian was genuinely afraid that the monkey would cause trouble for him at this moment, so he opened his third eye, which allowed him to see through everything, while speaking to prevent the monkey from causing trouble after transforming.

However, he didn't open his third eye just for the monkey. It was because the monkey had clearly fallen into the trap. He was using the trap to his advantage, observing the monkey's condition throughout so he could directly support the monkey at the crucial moment.

But when the monkey saw Yang Jian open his third eye, he didn't expect this. His face turned pale and then red. He knew that Yang Jian didn't believe him, but he had nothing to say. Because of Nezha's situation, he was unsure how to help others without making a mistake, and he couldn't help but scratch his head.

Therefore, he was too ashamed to stay with Yang Jian any longer. He simply said "Excuse me" and found a deserted spot to sulk.

But the more Sun Wukong thought about it, the angrier he became, because in his opinion he had done nothing wrong, so holding his golden cudgel did not calm him down at all!

And finally, he couldn't help but shout it out.

"They're all neglecting their duties and blaming me for meddling! I don't think we need to go on this pilgrimage to the West! They should all just indulge in worldly affairs! So annoying! So annoying!"

Even though he shouted like that, there was no movement around him. It was obvious that Yang Jian and Nezha had not followed. At this moment, Sun Wukong was really the only one left here!
Seeing this, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, who were hiding in the shadows, exchanged a glance, then walked out with wicked smiles. Silver Horn once again transformed into the Earth God and ran to Sun Wukong's side, but this time, he had a gourd in his hand.

"Great Sage, Great Sage! The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!"

As he spoke, Sun Wukong, completely unprepared, turned his head and answered directly.

"It's me! What do you want?!"

As he spoke, he instantly felt a powerful force emanating from the gourd in Silver Horn's hand, and he was almost instantly sucked into the gourd!
Before he could react, Silver Horn swiftly slammed the gourd lid shut, trapping Sun Wukong inside!

Sun Wukong felt a sense of familiarity here, similar to Laozi's alchemy furnace, and he felt as if he had come home.

But right now, he only wants to know one thing.

"Old man of the land! What are you doing! Release your grandpa Sun right now!"

But upon hearing his words, Golden Horn also appeared and burst into laughter along with Silver Horn.

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha!! Sun Wukong! You're finished this time! This treasure of mine is the gourd that Laozi used to store elixirs. No matter what kind of immortal, demon, god, or monster you are, I'll turn you into a puddle of pus and blood in no time!"

At this point, Silver Horn also spoke in a sinister tone.

"Go ahead and cry, scream! And then die! Sun Wukong! You've offended everyone around you, let's see who's going to save you now!"

He laughed heartily, pasted an edict from Laozi on it, and was about to leave when Sun Wukong, trapped inside the gourd, couldn't help but ask.

"We have no past grievances, nor any present enmity! Why have you come to capture me?!"

Sun Wukong couldn't understand this at all. In his memory, he had no grudge against these two things!
Golden Horn and Silver Horn were momentarily speechless. It was their own idea to avenge Laozi, and Guanyin had only sent them to test whether the monkey was sincere. But now, they couldn't come up with a reason for it... Silver Horn originally thought of ignoring Sun Wukong, but Golden Horn didn't think so. He felt that things should be done completely!
So Jinjiao thought for a moment, and then suddenly came up with an idea, and then he smiled sinisterly.

"Haha, we came to capture you because we want to eat your master, Jin Chanzi, so that we can live forever! Without you, let's see what Jin Chanzi will do!"

Upon hearing this, Silver Horn was dumbfounded, while Sun Wukong inside the gourd was amused.

"Hurry up, hurry up! I want to see what it's like to have my master captured by you!"

Sun Wukong suddenly found it amusing. If they said they had a past grudge against him, he would be a little worried, but if they said they wanted to eat Li Ke, he would find it very entertaining!
Putting aside the fact that he had already figured out how to get out of the gourd, just the fact that his master, Li Ke, was a genius, meant that his iron fists were enough to break the gourd.

Are these two, who have to resort to trickery and sowing discord to separate the four of them, enough for Jin Chanzi to kill today?

Especially when he thought about how these two were racking their brains to deal with Jin Chanzi, and that they might even succeed, he couldn't help but feel happy!

So he clapped happily!
"What a wonderful thing! You two go quickly! I want to see the bloody scene of Jin Chanzi today! Go quickly! I want to see rivers of blood flowing!"

But as he spoke, Sun Wukong added something to his mind.

"We just don't know whose blood it is."

Golden Horn and Silver Horn looked at each other, especially Silver Horn, who was helpless looking at his brother who had let slip the secret. But when it came to actually going to fight Golden Cicada Li Ke, they thought for a moment that Li Ke would probably give Lao Jun some face and let them capture him.

After all, they were people invited by Guanyin to test them, so even if they went a bit too far, they still had to keep up the act.

but……

"Great Sage, don't panic! Yang Jian is here!"

Yang Jian, who had seen the situation with his Heavenly Eye, suddenly flew over with his hawk and hounds, and his three-pointed double-edged sword stabbed at Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao without any hesitation. Beside him, Nezha also rushed over on his Wind Fire Wheels, holding his Fire-tipped Spear. Although he had an unhappy expression on his face, his steps did not falter!
He clearly distinguished between public and private matters. Helping Jin Chanzi on his journey to the west was a semi-public mission, and he wouldn't stoop to the level of a monkey on such a matter.

So at this moment, Nezha directly thrust his Fire-Tipped Spear at Golden Horn and Silver Horn!
"It's over!!"

Golden Horn and Silver Horn suddenly felt their heads were about to explode. Under the siege of Yang Jian and Nezha, they kept tumbling and rolling on the ground, being stabbed by the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword and the Fire-Tipped Spear. Before long, they turned into two blood gourds.

only……

Despite their miserable appearance and perilous situation, constantly being stabbed or impaled, Golden Horn and Silver Horn still managed to scream with great force.

One of them was Sun Wukong, who couldn't help but cheer loudly as he listened to the screams of the two men inside the gourd. But as he cheered, he found that he could still hear the loud screams of Jinjiao and Yinjiao after listening for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Are these two monsters really that good at fighting? They couldn't even defeat Yang Jian and Nezha after so long? No way, Yang Jian and Nezha helped me despite our past grievances, I have to do something to repay them!"

Feeling anxious and wanting revenge, Sun Wukong immediately transformed into an insect and crawled out from the crack in the gourd stopper. The moment he crawled out, he transformed back into his original form, then swung his golden cudgel and shouted!
"Brothers, rest a moment! Let me, Old Sun, handle this..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he saw two people frantically paddling around, poking at a gourd, and Nezha's smile was almost impossible to hide, proving that the two of them were indeed slacking off.

Yang Jian, who was able to fight on par with his own supernatural powers, magic, martial arts, and weapons, would first wave his cloak two or three times before making a move, and then suddenly jump up and wave the cloak again, as if the tattered cloak were some kind of magical treasure, just in case the two monsters opposite him couldn't react in time.

When it stabbed itself, the three-pointed double-edged sword, which was faster than lightning, couldn't be described as fast. It could only be said that it just grazed the skin of the two monsters, who were moving like wild boars dancing. At most, it made the two monsters look a little embarrassed!

This is much harder than simply stabbing someone to death!

Needless to say, Nezha's Universe Ring not only blocked his own Fire-Tipped Spear, but can anyone tell him why Nezha was also able to get entangled in his Wind-Fire Wheels by his Universe Ring, preventing him from moving forward?!

So you're not even going to act anymore?!
The monkey, who was about to unleash his full power, had bloodshot eyes, but instead of attacking the two, he swung his stick and smashed it at Golden Horn and Silver Horn without any regard for the consequences!
In an instant, the world changed color. The azure sky turned into a brilliant starry sky the moment the monkey's stick passed by, and endless divine light from beyond the heavens poured out from the hole the monkey had poked!
At this moment, it doesn't matter whether the golden cudgel weighs 18,000 jin or 108,000 jin, because as long as it is hit solidly by the monkey Hongwen, Golden Horn and Silver Horn will definitely be killed!

It was at this moment that Li Ke's voice appeared.

"Wukong, stop!"

Although he said to stop, Li Ke's hand appeared and clearly grabbed a whisk, blocking the whisk that was radiating great magical power. At the same time, four willow leaves, each dragging a water droplet, blocked Sun Wukong's staff!

The golden cudgel slammed down on the four willow leaves, and the violent attack stopped instantly. But this did not mean that Sun Wukong's attack power was insufficient, because the dew on the four willow leaves was actually the water from four oceans, and the four willow leaves were actually four continuous mountain ranges!
With this blow from Sun Wukong's golden cudgel, all four willow leaves and the dewdrop were destroyed!
It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester.

Li Ke looked at Sun Wukong as he spoke, but his eyes were fixed on the old man in the Taoist robe.

Although this blow of the whisk wouldn't kill Sun Wukong, it would certainly leave him dizzy and disoriented for three or four months. It was clearly Laozi's way of responding to the care shown to his two attendants, which is why he used such a heavy hand.

As for retaliating for being pushed over by the monkey...

...That's certainly possible.

After all, those with great supernatural powers can have a mind that is both very big and very small.

Laozi simply smiled, then waved his whisk, and the demonic bodies of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn instantly detached. Then he prepared to leave.

However, at that moment, the enraged Sun Wukong instantly regained his composure, rushed over, and under the astonished gazes of Yang Jian and Nezha, grabbed Laozi's Taoist robe and spoke with righteous indignation.

"You old rascal, it was your pageboy who caused all this trouble! We must settle this today! If you don't leave behind dozens of gourds of pills as an apology, I, Old Sun, won't let you leave!"

Li Ke's eyes lit up. While admiring Sun Wukong's courage, he also quietly stepped on Laozi's robe to prevent him from running away in the chaos!
Laozi's eye twitched. Looking at the rogue little monkey in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh that the cute little monkey from before was gone. He also sighed that the two of them had come together, both of them having the personality of refusing to suffer any loss.

Jin Chanzi was a notorious thief in the world back then, and Sun Wukong was a notorious bandit leader!
They truly are master and disciple!
So, when Yang Jian and Nezha turned their heads away, Tai Shao Lao Jun took out a porcelain bottle and slammed it hard onto Sun Wukong's furry hand!

"Just one bottle! No more!"
