Shop of All Worlds: The First Customer Princess Jinyang

Chapter 168 Ye Jiangnan's Question
Ye Jiangnan followed behind Tang Seng, walking side by side with Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng.

"Goddess, look, that is the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara."

Zhu Bajie said to Ye Jiangnan with a smile.

After saying this, Zhu Bajie became a little confused again and asked Ye Jiangnan puzzledly:
"Speaking of which, Immortal, how many years have you been practicing?"

“Why don’t you know Avalokitesvara?”

Without waiting for Ye Jiangnan to reply, Zhu Bajie started asking himself questions and answering them.

"Yes, you should have stayed in your paradise all the time, so it's understandable that you don't know Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Ye Jiangnan did not respond to Zhu Bajie's words.

Since Zhu Bajie has already thought of an excuse for himself, why should I look for another excuse to refute it?
Guanyin Bodhisattva was holding a bamboo basket in her hand and her eyes fell on Tang Seng and others.

When Guanyin Bodhisattva saw Ye Jiangnan standing next to Tang Seng, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Ok?"

She looked at Ye Jiangnan with great curiosity.

It was not because of Ye Jiangnan’s handsome appearance, but because of the strange temperament of Ye Jiangnan that made her feel inexplicably familiar.

I seem to have seen such a temperament somewhere before.

But she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

This was the first time she had felt this way.

Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't say anything, just stared at Ye Jiangnan, causing the people present to silently turn their gazes to Ye Jiangnan.

Ye Jiangnan: “???”

Being stared at by so many people, Ye Jiangnan felt uncomfortable all over.

"Um...what are you staring at me for?"

Ye Jiangnan asked awkwardly.

As soon as these words were spoken, several people present quickly retracted their gazes.

Guanyin Bodhisattva bowed slightly and asked Sun Wukong behind him:
"Wukong, the donor next to your master is..."

Sun Wukong did not dare to hide anything and said:
"Great Master Guanyin, the immortal's name is Ye Jiangnan, and he is not from my world."

"Oh?"

When Guanyin Bodhisattva heard this, her eyes became even more curious about Ye Jiangnan.

"Not from this world?!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva murmured.

Sun Wukong nodded slightly.

In fact, Sun Wukong doesn’t know much about Ye Jiangnan so far.

From Ye Jiangnan’s methods and those “treasures” in the store, it is enough to see that Ye Jiangnan is not simple.

Although Sun Wukong had not seen many treasures, the treasures in Ye Jiangnan’s store were the first time he had seen them.

There is still one thing about Sun Wukong that is not clear yet.

That is, why is the aura on Ye Jiangnan so similar to the aura on his master Bodhizi?
"Avalokitesvara?"

"Avalokitesvara?"

Sun Wukong shouted to the stunned Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Huh? Huh?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva came to his senses and looked at Sun Wukong in confusion.

"Avalokitesvara, the monster in Tongtian River..."

Sun Wukong said with a smile while looking at Tongtian River.

"Well, just wait and see..."

Guanyin Bodhisattva threw the bamboo basket in her hand into the Tongtian River.

The ice on the surface of the Tongtian River, which was originally frozen, melted instantly.

The bamboo basket fell into the water and sank instantly.

Then, Guanyin Bodhisattva whispered:
"Those who die go, and those who live live."

Sun Wukong, who was standing next to him, heard Guanyin Bodhisattva recite this and had no idea what it meant.

Guanyin Bodhisattva recited it several times, and Sun Wukong thought about the meaning of these six words several times.

Ye Jiangnan, Tang Seng and others could not hear the whispers of Guanyin Bodhisattva and could only look at Tongtian River curiously.

After a while, the bamboo basket floated to the surface again.

The bamboo basket was filled with water and a goldfish in it.

The bamboo basket flew back into the hands of Guanyin Bodhisattva again. Sun Wukong stretched his head and looked inside the bamboo basket curiously.

"Master Guanyin, is this the monster?"

Sun Wukong asked curiously.

"Yeah, that's right."

Bodhisattva Guanyin nodded slightly.

"Great! It seems the Immortal is right!"

"I've found the right person!"

Sun Wukong said happily.

"Oh? He asked you to come to me?"

Guanyin asked doubtfully.

Sun Wukong nodded.

Guanyin Bodhisattva became even more curious about Ye Jiangnan.

It's so weird.

Why did Ye Jiangnan let Sun Wukong come to find him?

Does he know that the goldfish is his?
Or did he say it by accident?
After all, on the journey to obtain the scriptures, Sun Wukong would come to him whenever he had any problems.

Guanyin Bodhisattva continued to ask:

"Didn't he say anything when he asked you to come to me?"

"Hmm... let me think about it!"

Sun Wukong thought for a while.

After thinking for a while, Sun Wukong said:

"I told you."

"The immortal said that the goldfish in this river are your goldfish, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva."

Upon hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned slightly.

Although it was a very subtle movement, just a blink of an eye, Sun Wukong still captured it.

It was the first time he saw Guanyin Bodhisattva frown.

Bodhisattva Guanyin has experienced so many disasters and witnessed countless scenes of all sizes.

He should not show his emotions on his face.

Why do you frown when you hear the words of the "Immortal"?

Sun Wukong couldn't figure it out and was very curious.

But he didn't dare to ask.

"So it's second."

"I already understand."

"Now that the matter has been resolved, I will take my leave."

After Guanyin Bodhisattva finished speaking, she was ready to turn around and leave.

At this time, Ye Jiangnan, who was standing below, shouted to Guanyin Bodhisattva who was about to leave:
"Avalokitesvara, please stay!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva stopped, stood on the clouds, and looked down at Ye Jiangnan in confusion.

"My immortal friend, what do you want to call me for?"

"Avalokitesvara, are you leaving just like that?"

Ye Jiangnan questioned.

"I don't understand what you mean, my friend."

Guanyin Bodhisattva said doubtfully.

Ye Jiangnan pointed in the direction of Chenjiazhuang and said loudly:

"Guanyin!"

"It's been more than nine years since you, the goldfish, came to this mortal world from your pond!"

"Every year he would ask Chenjiazhuang for two children to satisfy his appetite."

"Eighteen children in nine years!"

"That means your goldfish ate eighteen children from Chen Village!"

"And yesterday, he made it snow heavily!"

“It’s September, the autumn harvest season!”

"This heavy snow has caused the people to have no harvest after working hard for a year!"

"As the owner of this goldfish, you failed to take good care of it, causing it to harm the people!" "As the Bodhisattva Guanyin, shouldn't you give an explanation to the people?"

"After you bring it back, I don't know how you punish him, but you should at least give an explanation to the people, right?"

As soon as Ye Jiangnan said this, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie looked at Ye Jiangnan in surprise.

The two brothers did not expect Ye Jiangnan to be so bold.

In fact, they have thought about this problem before.

Some of the monsters we encountered along the way were mounts of the gods in heaven.

When their owner comes and finds them, he just takes them away.

As for giving an explanation to the people, I have never thought about it.

Sun Wukong had thought before whether he should give an explanation to the people.

Although Zhu Bajie is usually eloquent and sarcastic, he actually has kind intentions in his heart.

He also thought about whether these innocent people who were implicated should have a good outcome?
Is this how I'm supposed to be harmed by monsters?
For some things, just thinking about them is enough.

The two brothers, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, once discussed this issue in private.

Later, everyone unanimously decided not to ask.

The mounts of the gods and Buddhas have gone down the mountain. Do the gods and Buddhas really not know about this?

No matter how careless they are, they can't be so careless, right?
This is the mount I ride wherever I go.

How is it possible that we haven't seen each other for so long?
Therefore, both Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie believed that it was the gods and Buddhas in heaven who deliberately released their mounts.

As for why?
Of course, it was for the 81 difficulties that the four masters and apprentices had to go through.

Otherwise, where would so many monsters come from along the way?
If there were no monsters, how could there be so many disasters?

Guanyin Bodhisattva was puzzled by Ye Jiangnan's words.

For a moment, she didn't know how to answer Ye Jiangnan.

Tang Seng looked at Ye Jiangnan's back and an idea came to his mind.

"Avalokitesvara, why don't you answer me?!"

Ye Jiangnan stared at Guanyin Bodhisattva and took a step forward.

"Are you feeling guilty?"

After saying that, Ye Jiangnan took another step forward.

"Do you think that the disasters suffered by these ordinary people are what they deserve?"

Ye Jiangnan took another step forward.

"You are the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, worshipped by everyone. People respect you so much, so you treat them like this?"

Ye Jiangnan took another step forward.

Finally, Ye Jiangnan stopped where he was and shouted loudly:

"You gods and Buddhas, all of you claim to have compassion for the people, but are you going to release your own mounts, or your own disciples, or your own pets, to harm the common people?!"

"Are you worthy of the people who serve you?"

"Are you worthy of the people who spent money on incense and candles for you?"

At some point, many people from Chenjiazhuang had already stood behind Tang Seng and his companions.

When they arrived, they saw Guanyin Bodhisattva on the clouds and were about to pay their respects, but after hearing Ye Jiangnan's words, they stopped kneeling.

"Yes! We burned incense and worshipped Buddha, but in the end our own child was eaten by the goldfish raised by Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

"And our crops! We worked so hard to grow them for so long, but in the end, we got nothing. What should we do in this cold winter?"

"Hey……"

"Avalokitesvara, please give us an explanation!"

"Give us an explanation!"

"Please, Bodhisattva Guanyin, give us an explanation!"

The people of Chenjiazhuang finally shouted in unison.

Sha Seng trotted to Tang Seng's side and said stupidly:

"Master, what the Immortal said makes sense!"

"The Bodhisattva Guanyin should indeed give an explanation to the people of Chenjiazhuang."

"Those children who were eaten and the crops that were destroyed were all caused by the goldfish raised by Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie hurriedly pulled Sha Seng away and said unhappily:
"Lao Sha, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"This is not the fault of Avalokitesvara!"

"It's the goldfish's fault!"

"How can you blame Bodhisattva Guanyin?"

After saying this, Zhu Bajie observed Tang Seng's expression.

Tang Seng held the Buddhist beads in his hand and murmured:

"Amitabha."

After saying that, Tang Seng walked forward and came to Ye Jiangnan's side.

He looked up at the Bodhisattva Guanyin in the clouds and said:

"Great Master Guanyin, what Ye Shangxian said is correct."

"As the owner of the goldfish, he made a mistake, and you, as the owner, should bear the consequences of it."

"It's time to give an explanation to the people of Chenjiazhuang."

Guanyin Bodhisattva remained silent and even closed his eyes slightly.

Seeing this, Ye Jiangnan couldn't help but snort in his heart.

Sun Wukong looked at Ye Jiangnan, then at his master Tang Seng, and then at the excited people of Chenjiazhuang.

Until finally, he turned his gaze to Guanyin Bodhisattva with her eyes closed.

"Great Master Guanyin, what the Immortal and my master said is correct."

"Goldfish should give an explanation to the people of Chenjiazhuang for the mistakes he made."

Sun Wukong spoke.

However, Guanyin Bodhisattva also ignored Sun Wukong.

After an unknown amount of time, Guanyin Bodhisattva slowly opened her eyes.

She looked at Ye Jiangnan and said softly:
"Who are you and why do you care about my business?"

Ye Jiangnan looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva and said:

"I am just a person who cannot bear to see you, the Heavenly Court and the Western Heaven, conspiring together to travel to the West and experiencing disasters, causing the people to suffer!"

This is something Ye Jiangnan had always wanted to know before he traveled through time.

Why is it that you, the mount of all gods and Buddhas, caused misery to the people, but in the end nothing happened?
Do the people owe you anything?

Do they deserve to die?
Just by opening your mouth, you cause these ordinary people to suffer. Is this how gods and Buddhas should behave?

"My friend, I have something to say to you."

Guanyin Bodhisattva said softly.

"Oh? What are you talking about?"

Ye Jiangnan asked.

"Don't get involved in things that are not your business."

The voice of Guanyin Bodhisattva was very cold.

After saying this, she stared at Ye Jiangnan with cold eyes and told him using the sound transmission method:

"If you insist on getting involved, be careful to die!"

The words that Guanyin Bodhisattva told Ye Jiangnan through the method of sound transmission were full of murderous intent.

But her face showed a gentle look.

People who don’t know her look think she is Guanyin Bodhisattva, a kind-hearted, amiable person.

But few people know that beneath the gentle face of Guanyin Bodhisattva, there is a dark heart.

Ye Jiangnan chuckled and said:
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, you are truly a good Bodhisattva!"

"Isn't what I said right?"

"Let me stay out of it?"

"I speak for the people. Is this called meddling?"

"threaten me?"

"If you threaten me, then you won't be able to complete your journey to the West, either in Heaven or in the West!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jiangnan suddenly flew into the air, reaching the same height as Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"you……"

Guanyin Bodhisattva glared at Ye Jiangnan, wanting to get angry, but forced herself to hold it back.

Tang Seng and his disciples are still here, and there are so many people below.

As Guanyin Bodhisattva, he cannot lose his temper like this and has to maintain his image.

"Humph!"

"I will not argue with you!"
