From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"As the saying goes, Buddha saves those who are destined. If we can reach the Western Paradise, then we are destined. If the Tathagata has the heart to save all beings, then even if we are not monks, he should still give us the scriptures."

Jiang Liu has his own reasons.

The monk remained silent.

The nun remained silent.

But the monk still advised, "If that's the case, then you should take a detour and not enter the city, or your lives will be in danger."

"How come his life is in danger? Is the king going to exterminate the monks again?"

Pigsy was extremely curious.

"How could we persecute monks? Our ruler respects monks the most!"

The nun exclaimed, “Since the destruction of France and its renaming to Qin France, for the past five hundred years, successive kings have respected monks. Today, the current king has even issued an order that every household, men, women, and children should shave their heads and change their clothing to monastic robes.”

Otherwise, they should be dragged out and killed!

To date, 9,999 people who refused to shave their heads have been dragged out and beheaded!

The monk continued, "The king also felt that the number nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine didn't sound good, and wanted to make it ten thousand!"

Instantly.

Eight of them had dark complexions.

It's just because of the three of them—

Although Jiang Liu was covered in hair, his hair was smooth, like a monk.

Pigsy has already attained human form, but he still has a bald head.

Only him!

Although he escaped from Lingshan, he still practices Zen and can be considered a monk, yet he keeps a head of long, jet-black hair... If he were to enter Qinfa Kingdom, he would probably be directly arrested and thrown into prison.

"Thank you for your advice, Master. However, we can only follow the right path. If we change our path, we will be entering a heretical sect, which is not the way to cultivate ourselves."

Jiang Liu thanked the monks and nuns.

"Well, good words can't persuade a damned ghost. But you're wrong. We're not monks. We just can't stand the hardship of shaving our heads and wearing monk's robes, so we're moving to the east."

After saying this, the group bypassed Jiang Liu, Bajie, and Bajing and headed east.

After glancing at the backs of those people, Bajie looked towards the capital of Qinfa Kingdom and sneered, "Five hundred years ago, that king wanted to exterminate monks; five hundred years later, this emperor wants to kill people; what a strange thing."

Ba Jing asked worriedly, "But how do we get past this hurdle?"

Although Qinfa is a large country, it is ultimately a mortal nation and cannot stop those with supernatural powers.

But if they only rely on their supernatural powers, how different are they from those monsters who oppress mortals?

"How about we change it up?"

Bajie gave Bajing an idea.

"No, one should show one's true self in cultivation. The goal is to seek the truth. How can one deceive people with the art of transformation?"

Jiang Liu had his own plans, and led Bajie and Bajing toward the city gate.

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, the guard noticed Ba Jing's long hair and scolded, "Where are you foreigners from? Don't you know the rules of my Qin Kingdom?"

"I really don't know, I hope you can tell me, sir."

Jiang Liu smiled apologetically.

The guard at the gate said, "Anyone who wants to enter our country must shave their head."

After saying that, he took out a razor and pointed it at Ba Jing, saying, "You two can enter the city, but he must shave his head first, otherwise he will be arrested and beheaded once he enters the city."

Bajie chuckled and said, "Bajie, why don't you just shave your head? What's the big deal?"

There was nothing we could do.

Ba Jing took the razor, and with a swift stroke, her long black hair fell to the ground, revealing a shiny bald head.

"What a handsome monk!"

The soldiers praised him endlessly and let him pass.

However, this made Jiang Liu the only one among the three with hair.

After entering the city.

The three of them looked around and saw that it was indeed the capital of the great kingdom of Qinfa.

But we see:

Lanterns illuminate the Buddha at the crossroads, incense smoke fills the nine-tiered hall as bells toll. The bright star at seven o'clock shines on the meditation hall, travelers from all directions are bald. In the six military camps, warrior monks shout and practice their fists and feet. At the five drum towers, nuns and monks chant scriptures. A hazy mist hangs over all sides, a cold smoke hangs over the three markets. Couples' heads are reflected in the moonlight, a jade disc rises in the east.

"Wow, that's amazing! They're all bald!"

Bajie exclaimed in surprise, touched his bald head, glanced at Jiang Liu's head, and chuckled, "Brother Monkey, everyone in this city is hairless, except you."

If the king insisted on killing ten thousand people with hair, and seeing that your hair was short, yet still had hair, and had you beheaded, what should be done?

The words fell.

A patrol of soldiers came along the street. When they saw Jiang Liu, they immediately surrounded him. They weren't afraid of his strange appearance and shouted, "How dare you keep your hair long? Take him away, and we'll make up the difference for His Majesty's 10,000-yuan allowance!"

Jiang Liu did not resist and was taken away by the soldiers and imprisoned.

Bajie and Bajing were left alone on the street, looking disheveled.

Ba Jing teased Ba Jie, saying, "Second Brother, could it be that you have achieved the Golden Elixir and cultivated the ability to make your words come true? That's why you are so effective!"

But it may be effective, but that doesn't mean it's not.

Now that you've caused our senior brother to be captured, what are we going to do?

Upon hearing this, Pigsy laughed in anger and retorted, "What does this have to do with me? With that monkey's abilities, who can capture him? And who can keep him locked up?"

Even so, as Bajie walked along the way, he realized in his heart that the monkey was going to test him again!

Furthermore.

This place is the Qinfa Kingdom, where the great body of heaven and earth corresponds to the small world of the human body. It is the location of the Yin aperture. Once you pass through this aperture and completely subdue the Yin energy gathered in this aperture, you will achieve Yin and Yang harmony and transform into Hunyuan. Then, your achievement with the Eight Pure Ones will be complete.

At that time.

Golden Core complete! Sacred Embryo fully formed!

Once one understands one thing, one understands everything else; supernatural powers and magic come easily to one's fingertips. Even the saints who entrust their primordial spirit to the Heavenly Dao by borrowing the Primordial Purple Qi are no more than this.

"Second Senior Brother, since it is Senior Brother who is going to test us, we cannot be lazy. We must bring out the cultivation we have accumulated along the way."

After thinking for a while, Ba Jing came up with an idea: "Back then, our eldest brother shaved the heads of the king and all the civil and military officials in the court and changed the extinction law to the veneration law. Why don't we change it back?"

"No."

Bajie disagreed, saying, "How can the Dharma be destroyed? The Dharma is like a boat; it can only be abandoned once it reaches the other shore. Ordinary people are struggling in the sea of ​​suffering; how can the Dharma be destroyed?"

"Then what should we do?"

"Don't rush me, let me think—"

Bajie waved his hand, recalling what Jiang Liu had said at Zhenhai Chanlin Temple, and had an idea: "I've got it! Bajing, come closer..."

Chapter 1557 Request for 10,000 but refused

That night.

The night was dark and the wind was high.

Bajie chanted the incantation, Bajing made hand seals, and each said "Om" once. Their primordial spirits jumped out of their physical bodies and traveled through the Three Realms, only then did they see the true appearance of this primordial world.

It was in human form!

It's just missing a heart.

"I wondered how Pangu created the heavens and the earth; it turns out he created all things with his own body."

Pigsy suddenly realized.

"I have roughly understood what my senior brother has done."

Ba Jing felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Mending the Sky!

Their eldest brother is not just one of the Four Chaotic Monkeys, but a mind ape born from heaven and earth. He was born from Nuwa's patching stone so that he could completely mend the Great Dao!

Gu Yue Yuanjue, reincarnated...

It's Sun Wukong!

Their senior brother!

"Don't be so sentimental. How many immortals, Buddhas, demons, and monsters in this world have forgotten the path they began with in their pursuit of immortality?"

Retrace the Journey to the West.

In Gao Laozhuang, or rather, in Mao Erzhuang, they found a home, solidified their roots...

This journey was unlike the one five hundred years ago, which was merely a fleeting experience. Instead, it allowed me to truly experience the myriad emotions of this world and to cultivate my spiritual nature…

Pigsy has already let go of his resentment.

"As junior brothers, what we need to do is support our senior brother, as long as he is on the right path."

Upon hearing this...

Ba Jing paused for a moment, staring at Ba Jie.

Why are you staring at Old Pig like that?

"Second Senior Brother, why haven't I seen you so clever before?"

Ba Jing's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Humph!"

Pigsy snorted and stated a fact, "Pigs are just lazy, not stupid. What's the big deal!"

That's all.
