I Am a Heroic Spirit

In the online discussion, Zhang Luo's spell had ended, and a dazzling light lit up in the summoning circle. The whirlwind of magic made it impossible for Zhang Luo to stand without using the Thousand-Pound Drop technique.

Under the gazes of countless people, a voluptuous and beautiful woman emerged from the summoning circle, holding a nine-ringed staff in one hand and a single palm raised in the other. She spoke, "My name is Xuanzang Sanzang. I manifested here under the guidance of the Buddha! Um... my class is Caster!"

"What the hell? Tang Sanzang is a woman?"

"A sensual aura comparable to a pole dancer? He's also a monk?"

"Could it be the Japanese monk Tripitaka?"

"Don't fool yourself. He said it himself. It was Xuanzang. Who else could it be but Tang Monk?"

"I think this must be some demon girl. How could Tang Sanzang be a woman? He's a monk, after all."

"Who says monks can't have women? Can nuns have women too?"

"The problem is, she's Tang Sanzang! The Tang Sanzang from Journey to the West! If she were a woman, would the Queen of the Kingdom of Women, the Pipa Fairy, and the Jade Rabbit Fairy all be men?"

"Wait, it could also be the Tang Monk from history. Journey to the West is just a story. Maybe she's not the Tang Monk from Journey to the West, but the one from history."

"Even in history, have you forgotten the example of Vlad III? Journey to the West never mentions that Tang Sanzang is a woman."

"It's over. This has corrupted the entire Journey to the West."

"So those monsters didn't kill Tang Sanzang for so long because they were busy doing something else? No wonder... I figured out why Tang Sanzang always managed to hold out until Sun Wukong came to rescue him in Journey to the West."

"That's right. This is why Sun Wukong and the others followed Sanzang. This is why the monster wanted to capture Sanzang. This is why, after being captured, Sun Wukong risked his life to save Sanzang. Everything had a reason—the golden cudgel is a valuable asset."

“You guys are so dirty!!!”

"Sewage……"

"You will suffer retribution for slandering Buddha like this! I tell you!"

"That's right, now that Tripitaka Master has arrived, the Buddha won't be far behind. If you dare to slander the Buddha, you will be sent to the eighteen levels of hell!"

“Are there Buddhists coming?!”

"Let's start tearing it apart! Let's start tearing it apart quickly!"

"You can watch the show now. I've brought some popcorn."

"What a crap Buddha! According to Buddhist scriptures, 'Whoever sheds the blood of the Buddha will go to the Avici Hell.' Those Muslims are doing just fine now. They destroyed Indian Buddhism and nothing happened."

"I have knelt before the Buddha for three thousand years, yet he has never shown me pity. Is it not dust that obscures his eyes, but rather that I have not offered him incense and money? If the Buddha were not greedy, why would he require offerings from the world? If the Buddha does not seek vanity, why would he require the world to kneel before him? I have the Buddha in my heart, but he has no me. Suffering from all the suffering in the world, I ask the Buddha. The Buddha says: Everything is destined. I laugh: Since you can't help me, what's the point of worshipping you? The Buddha says to save all living beings, but I haven't seen anyone saved. The Tao says to keep oneself healthy, yet it helps in times of hardship. In troubled times, the Buddha says to close the mountain gates and stay out of worldly affairs. The Tao says to lead the people out of the mountains and practice medicine to help the world."

"Fellow Daoist, you have realized that our Three Pure Ones Patriarch cares about the world."

"Buddha is the Tao, but the Tao is not Buddha."

"Those Bodhisattvas and Buddhas of Buddhism are just traitors to Taoism. The founder of Buddhism, Zhunti, is the most shameless."

"What is a Buddha? I've never seen one before. Can you bring it here for me to see?"

"That's right, why believe that?"

"In Journey to the West, the two bald monks demanded benefits from Tang Sanzang, refusing to give him the scriptures. Even Tathagata Buddha refused to help Tang Sanzang. This shows that Buddhism is not a good thing."

"And that drunken monk who indulges in alcohol and meat, isn't that just an excuse for violating the precepts?"

"There is no free lunch in the world. If Buddha gives you whatever you ask for, then Buddha has done something bad with good intentions, turning you into a parasite."

"Another idiot who's gone crazy watching the rise of the humble. He talks as if the Buddha wants you to kneel down and beg him."

"The Buddha is an enlightened being, not a god. He does not need your worship. The Buddha said that everyone can become a Buddha, as long as they are enlightened."

"Buddhism and Taoism are not good or bad. The difference lies in the sects. Every sect has its bad parts. Buddhism has them, and Taoism is no exception. If you really use some monks to make a fuss, then there are no fewer scammers in Taoism."

"That's right, you all say Buddhism is a scam, but you don't know that in reality, Buddhism takes a low-end approach, while Taoism takes a high-end approach. Most Buddhists are ordinary people, while most Taoists are high-ranking officials."

"They say Buddhism is a deception, but don't you know that Buddhism was not originally like this? It was because the royal family wanted to maintain their own ruling class that they changed Buddhism that came to China. In terms of Mahayana and Hinayana, the original Buddhism was Mahayana, and the changes made by the emperor were Hinayana."

"The one who spoke with the line from Rise of the Poor, how many Buddhist scriptures have you read? In which Buddhist scripture have you seen the Buddha say: Everything is predetermined? If you have read Yuan Liaofan's 'The Four Lessons of Yuan Liaofan', which combines the thoughts of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, you will know that destiny can be changed. Do you still say that Buddha said: Destiny can be changed? It's ridiculous! If people were not greedy, why would they pray to gods and worship Buddha? If people were not greedy, why would they fight openly and secretly? If you have really read Buddhist or Taoist classics, even just one, you will know that Buddha is not a god."

"That idiot who uses Journey to the West as an excuse, doesn't he know that Journey to the West was written by the Confucian scholar Wu Cheng'en to satirize Ming Dynasty officials and slander Buddhism and Taoism. It has nothing to do with Buddhist and Taoist myths and legends."

"Those who bring up the precepts can get lost now. The precepts are a shortcut to spiritual practice. They're meant to keep practitioners from being disturbed by external things. Once they achieve enlightenment, they won't be disturbed by external things, so the precepts won't be that important. Furthermore, Living Buddha Jigong's words weren't just that. Don't take them out of context. He said, 'Although meat and wine pass through the intestines, the Buddha remains in the heart.' If people imitate me, it's like entering the devil's way. Only people like you who don't understand the Dharma use this to smear Buddhism."

"Also, the Buddhist precepts during the Tang Dynasty only prohibited killing, not meat and fish."

"That idiot who used the Investiture of the Gods actually took the novel as the truth. The stories about the gods in the Investiture of the Gods becoming Buddhas were just the story of the founder of the Shenxiao sect, Jinmen Yuke Lin Lingsu, who deceived Emperor Huizong of Song and after gaining power, he took over the Buddhist temples.

Chapter 95 Battle Apemon

"Master, the summoning is not over yet!"

Medea's scream broke the strange atmosphere. Sanzang looked back in surprise, only to see that the summoning circle that had just summoned him was still maintaining the magical fluctuations.

Zhang Luo, however, looked calm, because this was Zhang Luo's plan, to summon both Servants at once to avoid wasting time.

At this time, the red figure gradually solidified in the summoning circle, and a girl in red appeared in front of everyone.

"I am the Marshal of Zhongtan, Nezha, the Prince. I have come here as a Lancer." The girl in red paused after each word and took a long time to finish.

"Ah, it's Prince Nezha. You also responded to the call and came here." Sanzang said in surprise.

Nezha nodded to Sanzang without saying anything, then looked at Zhang Luo: "Master, if there is anything, please tell me."

"Well, please take care of me in the future." Zhang Luo said with a smile.

"!!!"

"Nezha! What the hell? Nezha is also a woman?"

"Is it strange? In many TV shows and movies, Nezha is played by women."

"The problem is, this isn't acting! Prince Nezha is just a name for a man. She should be Princess Nezha."

"Who knows about the gods? Prince Nezha's father isn't even the emperor, so what's the big deal about a woman being called a prince?"

"You all missed the point. The point is, Nezha is a stutterer?"

"It's not a stutter, it really sounds like a robot."

"That's perfectly normal. What the Marshal of the Central Altar said means that Nezha has already died once. After becoming a god, it also means that she is actually a man-made person created by Taiyi Zhenren from lotus roots. She is similar to a robot, so it's normal for her to have some speech problems."

"Wait, I think I know why Nezha is a woman."

"I know that too. Guess if Taiyi Zhenren made a penis specifically for Nezha when he made his body."

"..."

"..."

"Although it's a bit dirty, I don't believe that Taiyi Zhenren would make such a thing."

"No, it should be that Master Taiyi wouldn't notice this kind of problem."

"Indeed, this is probably the truth. Nezha was originally a male, and he became a female after dying once."

……

At the edge of Vimana, Zhang Luo pointed at the moving RV below and said to Sanzang, "You should all know the basics of this world. There's a fully-formed monkey Digimon in the RV below. He wants to hunt down some children. He calls himself Gokumon. I think you'd be the best person to take action."

"Wukongmon?" Sanzang asked doubtfully.

When Nezha heard the word "Wukong", he stared at Zhang Luo with a puzzled look.

"It's a digital creature based on the prototype of Sun Wukong. However, the one below is more like Apemon than Gokumon. It has nothing in common with Sun Wukong." Zhang Luo explained.

Nezha turned her head away without interest and observed the surrounding environment. If it was Wukongmon, she would still be interested in fighting it, but it was just a monkey, so forget it.

"Is he still the evil Monkey King from the monkey period who didn't respect Buddhism and committed many evil deeds? Never mind, then let me follow the example of Master and suppress him." Sanzang obviously misunderstood Zhang Luo's words, and as he spoke, he jumped down from Vimalakirti.

"I'll go and take a look."

Nezha stepped onto the Wind Fire Wheel, left a word, and flew down.

"Mr. Jill, please stop for a moment." Zhang Luo hurriedly shouted to young Jill, and young Jill stopped the moving Glorious Boat in response.

"Oh!"

Sanzang fell from a height of thirty meters, creating a huge hole in the desert. The desert splashed several meters under Sanzang's weight.

Before the dust settled, Sanzang jumped out of the sand pit. When he landed, a white horse appeared out of thin air under Sanzang and carried him to chase the moving RV. Nezha was flying in the air leisurely, ready to see what the monkey called Wukong Beast could do.

"I am the strongest in this world, I am Gokumon..."

Inside the RV, Apemon was holding a microphone and reveling in his own music.

"Oh no, King Gokumon! King Gokumon!"

At this moment, a Gazhi beast ran in and shouted in panic.

"Shut up! Don't interrupt my music!"

Apemon swung his leg back and kicked Gajimon against the car wall, scolding him angrily.

The Jiazhi beast slid down from the wall to the ground, lying there, not daring to speak.

"You idiot, what happened! Hurry up and tell me!" Seeing that Gazhimon closed his mouth, the disturbed Apemon no longer had the heart to continue singing, and turned to Gazhimon and ordered.

"Someone is chasing us outside. It's a woman riding a horse. She's running very fast." Jiazhi Beast said intermittently.

"Huh? Forget it, get out."

Apemon was stunned for a moment, then pressed a button next to him. A screen rose up, and on the screen, a woman riding a white horse had caught up to the rear of the car.

"Tripitaka Beast?"

Looking at the familiar woman on the screen, Apemon exclaimed in surprise, "How could she appear here?" Although her clothes and horse had changed, her Buddhist cultivation had become more profound than before.

Simumon still remembered that the original ruler of this desert was not him, the Simumon who was known as King Gokumon, but the real Gokumon, the strongest Perfect Digimon. If it weren't for a female Digimon who called herself Sanzangmon, who came with Zhu Bajiemon and Sha Wujingmon, riding a Unicornmon, to take him away, it would not be his turn to be the boss here.

Suddenly, the Monkey Beast's face changed. On the screen, Sanzang threw the Nine-ring Staff in his hand. The Nine-ring Staff turned into an iron dragon in the sky and pounced on the RV.

With a loud "bang", the RV was knocked dozens of meters away by the impact of the iron dragon, and then a violent explosion occurred, turning it into a huge fireball.

"Ahhhhhhh!!! What is that? Sanzangmon doesn't have this kind of skill at all!" In the flames, Apemon screamed and kicked the RV open, then stomped his feet and soared into the sky.

"Flying Knee Drop!"

Although a little surprised by Sanzang's attack, the Apemon launched the attack without any hesitation, kicking Sanzang with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

"White Dragon Horse, let's go."

As soon as Sanzang pulled the reins, the white horse immediately sped up and ran out of the monkey beast's attack range in a few steps. The iron dragon transformed from the nine-ring tin staff also flew back and turned into the nine-ring tin staff again in Sanzang's hand.

"Oh my god, what the hell is this? Lingji Bodhisattva's flying dragon staff?"

"Shouldn't Tang Sanzang only be able to chant scriptures? Why did he use moves that have never been heard of?"

"I remember now. That's Tang Monk's magic weapon, the golden staff, which can transform into an iron dragon."

"What is a golden staff? I only know of a nine-ring staff."

"The Golden Ring Staff was given to Tang Sanzang by Vaisravana, the guardian deity of Buddhism, in the poem about his journey to the West. It can not only be used to ask for help from Vaisravana, but it can also transform into a Yaksha with its head touching the sky, its feet on the earth, its hand holding a demon-subduing pestle, its body the color of indigo, its hair like vermilion sand, and its mouth spewing hundreds of feet of fire. It can also transform into an iron dragon. It's much more powerful than the Nine-Ring Staff in Journey to the West."

"The problem is, what Tang Sanzang is holding is clearly the Nine-ring Staff."

"It's possible that the records are wrong. The Nine-ringed Staff also has related abilities, or perhaps the effects of all of Tang Sanzang's weapons have been combined."

"It's possible. It should be said that the original weapon was this Nine-ringed Staff. Later, it evolved into other weapons, but in reality, it's still this one."

The internet was buzzing with discussion, but Zhang Luo on the Radiant Ship was stunned. This wasn't the same as in FGO. FGO didn't mention Sanzang having this ability.

However, Zhang Luo didn't care much about it. There were too many versions of Journey to the West. Perhaps all the elements of Journey to the West were added to Sanzang. Anyway, this was not a treasure and was not important.

"Sanzang Beast, what do you want to do?"

After Monkeymon landed, he found that he was not hit, but he did not care. He just looked left and right and up and down, and did not see the shadow of Gokumon, so he questioned Sanzang.

"Eh? Sanzangmon?" Sanzang was stunned for a moment, recalling what Zhang Luo said, and immediately realized that there was actually a Digimon in this digital world that was based on himself, and it seemed that it looked the same as him.

"Stop pretending, take this move from me, the Dark Death Ball!"

Simumon is not a normal Digimon. Seeing that Sanzang was stunned, he immediately used his ultimate move and attacked Sanzang. Black traces crisscrossed in the sky, and several black energy balls condensed from them and smashed towards Sanzang's position. The number and range were so large that Sanzang could not avoid them.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, after walking in the deep Prajnaparamita for a long time, saw that the five aggregates are all empty, and survived all the hardships. Relic, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true for feelings, thoughts, and consciousness... "

Sanzang did not dodge or evade. He dismounted, sat in lotus position, and recited the Heart Sutra using his high-speed chanting skill. As the dark undead ball approached, a thousand-foot-long Buddha light rose from Sanzang's body, with countless swastikas appearing behind Sanzang, forming a huge swastika that rotated and emitted golden Buddha light.

The dark undead balls soon collided with the Buddha's light. However, unlike their majestic appearance in the Ballmon's village, more than ten dark undead balls all melted and disappeared in the Buddha's light, without any effect at all.

This is also bad luck for Apemon. Instead of using any other tricks, he chose to use the Dark Necromancer Orb. As the name suggests, it is both dark and undead, and is completely suppressed by light-type skills. Even if it is not Sanzang, any Christian hero can suppress Apemon to death.

"What? What is going on?"

Seeing that his attack had no effect at all, Apemon immediately screamed in disbelief.
