Shop of All Worlds: The First Customer Princess Jinyang

Chapter 170: Three Apprentices

"I do."

Ye Jiangnan gently stroked the "iron-eating beast" and said.

"In the world I used to live in, its name was the giant panda, not the iron-eating beast."

"The panda doesn't really eat iron, it's an omnivore."

"But I prefer eating bamboo."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jiangnan snapped his fingers and a pile of bamboo appeared in front of him.

Crystal dewdrops hang on the emerald green bamboo.

It looks as if it was just picked.

The giant panda, which had its eyes closed and was enjoying Ye Jiangnan's caress, smelled the fragrance of bamboo and then opened its eyes.

The giant panda moved its nose and stared at a pile of bamboo in front of it.

It looked at Ye Jiangnan, then looked at the pile of bamboo.

"Go."

Ye Jiangnan patted the giant panda with his hand, signaling it to go eat the pile of bamboo.

The giant panda seemed to understand what Ye Jiangnan said and crawled towards the pile of bamboo.

After crawling over, the giant panda did not eat the bamboo immediately. Instead, it moved closer, sniffed it with its nose, and then circled around the bamboo.

Finally, it stretched out its claws and picked up a bamboo.

Ye Jiangnan thought that it was time for it to eat bamboo.

Unexpectedly, this guy came to Ye Jiangnan holding a bamboo.

"Ok?"

Ye Jiangnan looked at this guy in confusion.

Qin Shi Huang was surprised and said:

"My god, it wants to share with you what it thinks is delicious."

"I didn't expect this big guy to be so humane."

Li Shimin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, rubbed his hands and smiled:
"Old Zhu, we are all brothers, you..."

Before Li Shimin finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang guessed what Li Shimin was going to say.

"No."

"not a single one."

"If you want, let your son get one for you."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Li Shimin: "..."

"Tsk, you're so stingy!"

"When Zhinu comes, I'll ask him to get me one too."

Li Shimin curled his lips.

It’s just a big “thing”!

Our Great Tang is vast and rich in resources. Is it possible that we don’t have it?

Even if you don't have one, ask the neighboring countries to give you one.

Ye Jiangnan did not take the bamboo handed over by the giant panda, and said with a smile:

"You guy!"

"Eat it yourself, I don't eat this."

The giant panda seemed to understand Ye Jiangnan’s words. It sat on the ground holding the bamboo and put it directly into its mouth.

With one bite, the hard bamboo was directly bitten apart.

Soon, after eating one bamboo, the big guy immediately went to get the second bamboo.

Ye Jiangnan ignored it and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, saying:

"Ming Huang, thank you."

"it's okay no problem."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

……

Journey to the West.

Putuo Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea.

Guanyin Bodhisattva sits on a five-colored lotus platform.

"What should I do?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned and murmured.

Tang Monk and his disciples' journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures was actually a calamity planned by the Heaven and the West.

If Tang Seng and his companions did not go because of this incident, their planned journey to the West would have failed.

Guanyin Bodhisattva is very annoyed.

She wanted to find someone to work with her to figure out a solution to this problem.

However, after searching in my mind for a long time, I couldn't find the right person.

As for reporting this matter to the Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva had never even thought about it.

What’s the use of talking to Buddha?

Isn't it time for you to figure out a solution yourself?
"Hey……"

Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed deeply.

Just at this moment, Mu Zha walked towards him.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, who originally didn't know who to look for, suddenly had her eyes light up and instantly had a candidate in mind.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva."

Mu Zha bowed to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"What's the matter?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva asked softly.

Mu Zha asked doubtfully:
"Master Guanyin, I've seen you look sad these past few days. I wonder what's wrong with you?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed and said:

"For some reason, Tang Monk and his disciples suddenly decided not to go to the West to obtain the scriptures."

"I was just worrying about how to persuade them to continue on their journey to my Great Leiyin Temple in the West."

Mu Zha frowned when he heard this.

"Why don't they go?"

"Don't they know that if they go to Leiyin Temple to obtain the true scriptures, they can obtain the Buddha's true fruition?"

Mu Zha said doubtfully.

In his opinion, being able to obtain a positive result just by obtaining the sutra was a great fortune.

Tang Seng and his companions actually despised it?
If possible, I would be eager to seek the true scriptures.

It's just a formality and a waste of time.

Most of those monsters are mounts or pets of gods and Buddhas, and they will not harm people.

It can be said that there was no danger along the way.

You're still not willing to do this?!
Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed softly and said:
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Mu Zha, I have something for you to do."

Mu Zha asked:

"Please give your instructions, Master."

Guanyin Bodhisattva said:
"You will go to heaven later."

"Find your brother Nezha and Erlang Shen Zhenjun Yang Jian."

"Tell them that Sun Wukong and his companions are no longer willing to go west to seek the true scriptures."

"You ask them to find Sun Wukong and urge him and his group to continue on their journey."

Mu Zha nodded slightly and replied:

"Yes, I will listen to your instructions."

It is said to be urging, but in fact it means letting Nezha and Yang Jian use "force" to urge Sun Wukong and his party to move forward.

It would be inappropriate for Guanyin Bodhisattva to take action so directly.

Nezha and Yang Jian had no choice but to make that trip.

……

Store of All Worlds.

Ye Jiangnan sat on the sofa and chatted with Qin Shihuang and others.

Qin Shihuang, Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang were mainly responsible for listening.

The people chatting were mainly Ye Jiangnan and Master Tang and his disciples.

"If I don't go to the West to obtain the scriptures, I'm afraid the gods and Buddhas will not agree."

"How could they be willing to accept that the Journey to the West calamity they worked so hard to plan is just going to be lost like this!?"

Ye Jiangnan reminded Tang Seng and his disciples.

Just now, Tang Seng and his disciples said that they would not go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

Ye Jiangnan fully understood their idea.

But if we really do this, the consequences will be immeasurable.

If you don't go to the West to obtain the scriptures, you will be going against all the gods and Buddhas in the world.

With the abilities of Sun Wukong and his companions alone, they probably cannot afford to offend all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

"Humph!"

Sun Wukong snorted coldly and stood up from the sofa.

"so what!"

"Five hundred years ago, I, Sun, dared to cause chaos in the Heavenly Palace!"

"Five hundred years later, I, Sun, can still cause havoc in Heaven again!"

"I, Sun Wukong, am definitely not a chess piece that can be moved around at will by the gods and Buddhas!"

Sun Wukong said this in a very domineering manner.

He is the Monkey King!
It’s the Monkey King Sun Wukong who is fearless!
Why are you being led by the nose by others?
Zhu Bajie also stood up and said, "Humph!"

"so what!"

"At worst, I, Old Pig, will go back to Gao Village and Cuilan..."

Before he could finish his words, Sun Wukong grabbed Zhu Bajie's big ears.

"You fat pig, you're dreaming?!"

"Do you think you can return to Gao Village safely?"

"Even if you go back, do you think they will let you go?"

Sun Wukong said unhappily.

How come this fat pig doesn't understand the current situation?

If only it were that simple.

You can also go back to your own Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Zhu Bajie broke free from Sun Wukong's hand and said:
"Why don't you let me go?"

"I'm not a powerful person, and I don't have such great abilities."

"With me missing, can't they find a replacement?"

Then Sha Seng said:

"Big Brother, Second Brother is right!"

"Without us, won't the gods and Buddhas in the sky be able to find someone to replace us and go to the West to obtain the scriptures?"

Sun Wukong: "..."

He finally saw it.

My two junior brothers are completely brainless.

If they could find someone to replace them in the journey to the West to obtain the scriptures, why would they choose them?

"Oh, I can't explain it to you two fools!"

Sun Wukong said irritably.

After saying this, Sun Wukong looked at Tang Seng and asked:
"Master, what about you?"

"What are your thoughts?"

Tang Seng clasped his hands together and said softly:

"Continue to travel west to seek the true scriptures."

When he said this, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng were all stunned.

Ye Jiangnan and others who were watching from the side looked at Tang Seng with confusion.

Qin Shi Huang wondered:

"Master Sanzang, did you not understand what I meant?"

"Your gods and Buddhas have plotted against you and harmed countless innocent people."

"Even after all this, you still want to go west to seek the scriptures?"

Li Shimin said:

"Yes, Master Sanzang."

"Even now, why do you insist on going to obtain the scriptures?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tang Seng in confusion, trying to figure out the meaning from his face.

Tang Seng's gaze paused for a moment on his three disciples.

Then, Tang Seng began to explain softly.

"If I don't go, the fate of my three disciples will be the same as those innocent civilians."

"The innocent people are very pitiful, and so are my three disciples."

"As their master, I cannot protect the common people with my own abilities, but I can protect my three disciples."

"I don't want them to go against the gods and Buddhas because of me. I don't want them to suffer like they did before."

After listening to Tang Seng's explanation, everyone instantly understood why Tang Seng was still determined to obtain the scriptures.

Tang Seng was not thinking about himself, but about his three disciples.

He couldn't bear to see his three disciples return to the way they were when they first met.

"Master..."

Sun Wukong and the other two looked at their master with very depressed expressions.

They were just thinking about themselves and didn't think about what the Master would do.

But their master was thinking about them.

"Master, why don't you come back to Huaguo Mountain with me?"

"I, Old Sun, will protect you. They can't hurt you."

Sun Wukong whispered.

"Master, you can come back to Gao Village with me!"

Zhu Bajie said with a smile.

"I, Old Pig, promise to make sure you have delicious food and spicy drinks!"

Sha Seng scratched his head and said embarrassedly:

"Master, there's nothing good about my Quicksand River."

"I can't treat you well."

"You can follow the eldest or second senior brother."

"If I have time, I will definitely go back to see you."

Tang Seng shook his head slightly and said:

"Need not."

"After we return, the three of you will continue to follow me to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures."

"Along the way, we will do whatever we have to do."

"Since they have planned all the hardships we will encounter on our journey westward, let's just follow the route they have designed."

"After you have obtained the true scriptures and achieved the right results, you will have the ability to argue with them again."

It’s not that Tang Seng had never thought about not resisting.

However, he knew that at present, they were no match for the gods and Buddhas.

Only after one has achieved the right results in cultivation, and his magical powers have been further improved, and he has a certain status in Heaven and the Western Paradise, will he have the ability to fight against Heaven and the Western Paradise.

Sun Wukong and the other two exchanged glances.

"This……"

Tang Seng saw that Sun Wukong and the others wanted to refute him, so he decided to say:

"So be it."

"Let's pack up later and go back on our way."

Since Tang Seng had made this decision, it was difficult for Sun Wukong and the others to refute it.

They knew that once their master made up his mind, it would be difficult to change it.

……

After resting for a while, Tang Seng and his disciples left the Wanjie Store.

The four masters and apprentices, along with the white dragon horse, left here together.

Not only that, Ye Jiangnan, Qin Shihuang and others also followed.

Why follow?

Ye Jiangnan went to teach Sun Wukong how to use a motorboat.

Qin Shihuang and his companions were purely curious, so they followed along.

As soon as they arrived at the Tongtian River, Sun Wukong took out the motorboat and prepared to put it on the river.

suddenly!

There were two clouds rushing towards them in the cloudless blue sky.

Ye Jiangnan and others looked over curiously.

The two clouds were moving extremely fast, and in a short while, they were already above their heads.

"It's Nezha and Erlang Shen, and Erlang Shen's dog, Howling Sky Dog!"

Zhu Bajie shouted in surprise after seeing the person on the cloud clearly.

Sun Wukong also saw clearly who the two people were.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Erlang Shen Yang Jian shouting:

"Sun Wukong, why are you still staying in Chenjia Village instead of going to the West to obtain the scriptures?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong stopped launching the motorboat.

Looking at Erlang Shen above his head, he asked back:
"Leave me alone?"

"Does it matter to you whether I go to seek the scriptures or not?"

Erlang Shen shouted:
"As the God of Justice of the Three Realms, your affairs are naturally related to me!"

"If you still don't go west to seek the scriptures, don't blame me for forcing you to do so!"

When Sun Wukong heard this, he subconsciously clenched his fists.

Qin Shihuang, Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang, who were standing behind them, looked at Erlang Shen Yang Jian with curiosity.

"Erlang God Yang Jian!"

"I never thought that I, Zhu Chongba, would have the honor to see him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly.

"The one next to him, I just heard Zhu Bajie say he is Nezha?"

Li Shimin was puzzled.

"That great god Nezha of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly?"

Qin Shi Huang had never heard of "Erlang Shen Yang Jian" or "Three Altars and Sea Assembly God Nezha".

"Old Zhu, Old Li, are these two also immortals?"

"Is it great?"

"The one with three eyes, is it Nezha or Yang Jian?"

"Why do I feel like these two are coming with such a strong momentum?"
