Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

It is said that on that day, Sun Wukong and Liu Er Mihou had a fierce battle. The two sides fought to a stalemate, from the first light of dawn until nightfall.

As the night deepened, the six-eared macaque suddenly stopped, claiming that he had something important to do.

Although Sun Wukong was curious, he did not stop him. He was worried about his master and fellow apprentice, and he also wanted to know what the Six-Eared Macaque was planning, so he followed him and came to the city together.

Sun Wukong stood on the clouds, and with a glance of his flaming eyes, he easily found the figures of his master Tang Sanzang and his two junior brothers. Although their transformation skills were wonderful, how could they be hidden from Sun Wukong's eyes?

Sun Wukong's body flashed and turned into a small flying insect, floating lightly from the sky, and finally stopped beside Tang Sanzang. In the blink of an eye, he turned back into a young man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.

"Master, I'm back." Sun Wukong said, reporting his safety to Tang San.

Before Tang Sanzang opened his mouth, Zhu Bajie couldn't wait to ask, "Big Brother, why did you come back just now? Did you fight with that great master Lin Nan's disciple? Didn't you, Monkey Brother, defeat him?"

Sun Wukong snorted in disdain when he heard this. "How could this be? I was just about to defeat the Great Protector, but he suddenly had something else to do. He said he had to go play some projection show. I was concerned about your safety, so I naturally rushed back."

As he spoke, Sun Wukong looked around and asked, "Why didn't you wait for me here, but went into the city first?"

Zhu Bajie grumbled and complained, "If we had waited for you, we might have all been captured and forced to do hard labor."

Tang Sanzang said truthfully, "We were captured by the Second, Third, and Fourth State Masters of Chechi State and brought to this city. They said that you, Wukong, have violated Chechi law and that we are accomplices. We will be interrogated tomorrow."

"Three national masters?" Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows and said, "It's okay, even if the national master Lin Nan comes in person, I can ensure that Master is safe and sound."

Zhu Bajie sneered and exposed: "You couldn't even defeat Lin Nan's eldest disciple, Senior Brother, and you are still bragging."

Sun Wukong was furious when he heard this and reached out to grab Zhu Bajie's ear. Zhu Bajie was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy.

At this moment, the voice of the six-eared macaque came from afar: "Quiet!"

The six-eared macaque stood on a high place and said in a loud voice: "I am the disciple of the great national master Lin Nan, my Taoist name is Renxin, and I am the great disciple who protects the Dharma. Today, I will play "The Great National Master Kills the Goldfish Spirit with His Sword", "The Dragon King of Jinghe River is Trap", and "The Demon of Liusha River Turns Back". I hope you will watch it carefully."

As soon as the six-eared macaque finished speaking, the people cheered in surprise. However, Tang Sanzang and his disciples were full of doubts and puzzlement. Especially the name of the last play, which made them look at Sha Seng.

"Could it be related to Third Junior Brother?" Zhu Bajie muttered, "Isn't the demon in the Flowing Sand River Junior Brother Sha?"

No matter what Tang Sanzang and his disciples discussed, the Six-Eared Macaque had already waved his hand, and a large curtain appeared out of thin air. With the appearance of the picture, a visual feast was about to begin.

Everyone present, whether they had seen it before or not, was staring intently at the curtain, afraid of missing any details.

For Tang Sanzang and his disciples, this was a completely new experience and they were quickly immersed in the scene.

On the big screen, the first scene shown is Lin Nan killing the goldfish spirit with a sword.

Tang Sanzang and his three disciples watched with great interest. Even Sun Wukong couldn't help but comment on the goldfish spirit's cultivation strength.

However, as the plot deepened, the goldfish spirit vaguely revealed its identity in the conversation with Lin Nan, and they began to feel that something was wrong.

When Lin Nan killed the goldfish spirit, a golden light suddenly appeared in the southern sky and Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared.

This scene made Tang Sanzang and his disciples even more confused.

"Is this a Bodhisattva?" Tang Sanzang couldn't help but mutter to himself.

As the plot continued to develop, when Lin Nan questioned whether Guanyin Bodhisattva was a compassionate Bodhisattva or a demon who specialized in eating young boys and girls, the people present were filled with indignation, and some even cursed Guanyin Bodhisattva out loud.

Tang Sanzang and his disciples looked at each other and realized that something was wrong. Tang Sanzang murmured, "Is this just a magic effect? ​​Maybe it didn't really happen."

Sun Wukong said thoughtfully: "No wonder the people of Chechi Kingdom despise Buddhism so much, it turns out that Lin Nan used such a method!"

Sun Wukong thought he had seen through the mystery, but he didn't know that this was just the tip of the iceberg.

After the first play ended, the people at the scene began to discuss it enthusiastically.

"Do you see the young man inside? He is my distant relative's neighbor!"

"This really happened. My neighbor on the left went to the area to look for it, and many people heard the Buddha's voice that day!"

“This is the Bodhisattva who raises demons!”

"Our current Chechi River God was originally forced out of the Tongtian River by the goldfish spirit!"

The people's comments seemed to prove the truth of the incident.

At this moment, on the curtain, Liu'er Mihou waved his hand again, and the second play "The Dragon King of Jinghe River is Trap" slowly began.

When seeing the scene of Chang'an City, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but feel familiar. He remembered that he was practicing in Jinshan Temple near Chang'an at that time, and it had indeed rained heavily at the time of the play.

This discovery made Tang Sanzang feel unbelievable. Could it be that these were really the old scenes reappearing?

As the plot deepened, Sun Wukong also scratched his head and said in confusion: "Is this really Guanyin Bodhisattva? Why did he want to harm the Jinghe Dragon King?"

Not only Sun Wukong, but also Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie and others had the same doubts in their hearts.

In this scene, Guanyin Bodhisattva seems to be framing the Dragon King of Jinghe River for no reason.

Some of the people around expressed sympathy for the Dragon King of Jinghe River, some cursed Guanyin Bodhisattva, and some also admired the ability of the great national master Lin Nan.

In this atmosphere, this scene quickly came to an end. Then, the scene of "The Demon of the Flowing Sand River Turns Back" began again.

The story begins with Lin Nan transforming into a dragon and when passing through the Quicksand River, a demon suddenly appears.

"Junior Brother Sha?"

"Wu Jing?"

Whether it was Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, or Zhu Bajie, they all recognized that the demon in the river was Sha Seng. They couldn't help but look at Sha Seng, their eyes full of doubts.

"It's really me..." Sha Seng muttered to himself.

"Junior Brother Sha, did you really do this? You even attacked the great state master Lin Nan?" Zhu Bajie asked from the side.

Sha Seng couldn't deny it and could only nod.

"It's really you. So, this is not an illusion, but a reappearance of the past?" Zhu Bajie said thoughtfully. On the big screen, the plot continued to develop. Lin Nan waved the Five-Bright Demon-Subduing Fan, and immediately summoned many wronged souls, and questioned them face to face.

These words directly exposed Guanyin Bodhisattva's lies, causing Guanyin Bodhisattva to change the subject and stop talking about it.

Then comes the scene where Lin Nan draws his sword to kill Sha Seng, but Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly appears and flees with Sha Seng in a hurry.

Even though there was a curtain between them, everyone seemed to be able to sense Lin Nan's murderous intent, which was so strong that it was almost tangible, and it made people feel a chill in their hearts.

"This..." Zhu Bajie glanced at Sha Seng, and said with some emotion, "No wonder you were so afraid of Grand Master Che Chi at that time, you almost lost your life."

In comparison, the reactions of Tang Sanzang and his two disciples were relatively calm.

However, the people around were outraged and reacted much more strongly.

Many people began to curse and accuse the Bodhisattva harshly, denouncing the demon's evil deeds.

This scene made the four masters and apprentices feel a little awkward. Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were born as monsters, so they didn't care much about it.

But Tang Sanzang fell into deep thought. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.

He became a monk at a young age, and always believed that "the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and turning back is the shore." However, the piles of bones at the bottom of the quicksand river seemed so miserable and shocking.

For a moment, Tang Sanzang was confused, not knowing whether to stand on Lin Nan's side or firmly believe in the guidance of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"No wonder, no wonder it's like this." Sun Wukong saw it clearly from the side. He shook his head and sighed, "No wonder the people in this country are so hostile to monks. Monks can only do hard labor such as carrying cement. Moreover, there is not even a Buddhist temple in the whole country. It is all dominated by Taoist temples."

After saying this, he looked around, and then at the attire of his master and fellow apprentices, and thankfully said, "Fortunately, Master, you guys are in disguise, otherwise you would have probably caused public outrage by now."

Zhu Bajie also looked at the indignant people around him, and felt scared: "Let's leave here quickly. If we stay any longer, we might really be caught and forced to move cement."

So they squeezed through the crowd and hurried back to the inn they had been to before.

Along the way, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but say, "Master, let's leave Chechi Kingdom as soon as possible. The atmosphere here is too unfriendly to monks. The longer we stay, the more risk we will be demoted to move cement."

"Besides," he continued, "Look at the people there. They seem to want to tear Junior Brother Sha's tendons and bones out. If they knew Junior Brother Sha's existence, it would be even more difficult for us to leave."

When Sha Seng heard this, his face turned pale, but he had nothing to say. He could only nod silently to show that he agreed with Zhu Bajie's proposal.

At this time, Tang Sanzang turned around and asked Sun Wukong: "Wukong, when we were captured, those national masters said that you had violated a taboo and wanted to attack the Taoists here. What is going on?"

Sun Wukong frowned when he heard this and replied, "There is another hidden story behind this. It's because of those five hundred monks..."

Then he told the five hundred monks everything that had happened to them and explained why he wanted to help them.

Zhu Bajie, who was listening, could not help but complain, "You couldn't have attacked the Taoist priest! You knew the special situation in Chechi, but you still attacked the Taoist priest. Do you really think those great masters are vegetarians? Besides, you also failed to rescue the five hundred monks, didn't you?"

He paused, then continued, “On the contrary, I see those monks are now assigned to move more cement.”

Sun Wukong was immediately furious when he heard this: "You idiot, you only know how to talk too much! This matter cannot be rushed, we have to plan slowly."

"Then how can we slowly make plans?" Zhu Bajie retorted, "One of the disciples of the Grand Master can fight you equally, not to mention the four Grand Masters! In addition, if our identities are exposed, not only will the Grand Master attack us, I'm afraid the people in the whole city will also attack us."

Zhu Bajie saw everything clearly and now just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

"What about the five hundred monks who are moving cement?" asked Sun Wukong.

Tang Sanzang nodded slightly and said firmly: "Five hundred monks, we have to save them. We can't let them continue to suffer and carry cement."

"But the Chechi Kingdom is full of powerful people," Zhu Bajie said worriedly, "and the Grand Master is even more powerful, and all the gods and immortals in the sky respect him. How can we save him?"

Sun Wukong said angrily, "Don't mention it anymore! Since fighting doesn't work, I'll just fight them with magic!" Then he looked at Tang Sanzang, "Or, let you, Master, have a debate with these Taoists. Anyway, we have to save those five hundred monks."

At this time, in the Sanqing Temple in the city, the Six-eared Macaque had quietly arrived and met the three great immortals including Huli Daxian.

"Renxin, what was the result of your fight with Sun Wukong?" asked the Great Immortal Huli.

"It's hard to tell who's the winner." The six-eared macaque admitted frankly, "My magical powers are equal to his, but I haven't yet mastered the Taoist teachings taught by my master, so I can't defeat Sun Wukong."

"It seems that Sun Wukong really should not be underestimated." Huli Daxian said with emotion, "He is indeed the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago."

Immortal Lu Li snorted coldly: "No matter how famous he is, he dared to attack the Taoist disciples in our Chechi Kingdom. He must not be forgiven! He must pay a price!"

"That's right!" Yang Li Daxian also nodded in agreement. "These foreign monks are so presumptuous in our Chechi Kingdom. It's really unforgivable!"

The six-eared macaque continued, "Among the four masters and apprentices in the Journey to the West, apart from Sun Wukong, the other three are nothing to worry about."

As they were discussing, they suddenly heard the young Taoist priest's hurried shouting from outside: "Master! It's bad! Something big has happened!"

Upon hearing this, the three immortals and the six-eared macaque immediately opened the door and asked, "What disaster is going on?"

The young Taoist priest said tremblingly: "I accidentally lost my hand bell, so I went to the temple to look for it. But as soon as I got to the temple, I heard someone laughing. I was almost scared to death!"

Upon hearing this, the three immortals and the six-eared macaque looked at each other and made up their minds.

"It must be Sun Wukong and the others who are causing trouble!" Six-Eared Macaque immediately stood up and said.

The three immortals also asked the young Taoist priest to light the lamp, and the group walked towards the main hall.

After Tang Sanzang and his party returned to the inn, they were already starving because they had not eaten for a day, so Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie went out to look for food.

Before they knew it, they were near the Sanqing Temple. The temple was brightly lit by candlelight, and through the cracks in the doors and windows, they could vaguely see the offerings inside. The steamed buns were as big as a bucket, and the baked fruits weighed fifty or sixty kilograms each. There were countless rice dishes, and the fruits were even more fresh and tempting.

Zhu Bajie was not very courageous to begin with, but when he saw so many offerings, he immediately became greedy and didn't care about anything else.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong smiled slightly, used his magical power, blew a gust of wind gently, and extinguished all the candles around him. Then, he and Zhu Bajie swaggered into the Sanqing Temple and began to enjoy the offerings.

During this period, they felt that the statues of the Three Pure Ones were blocking the middle and were a bit of an obstruction, so they wanted to move the statues.

At this time, a young Taoist priest came in a hurry to look for the magic bell. When he entered the room, he saw this scene and was immediately frightened out of his wits. Thus, the three great immortals were startled. (End of this chapter)
