Xuanzang knelt on the ground weakly, his hands propped up on the ground. The scratches on his hands were burning with pain. Between the memories of his past life and this life, he said weakly, "How did this happen?"
Xuanzang raised his hands and looked at his trembling and scarred palms. Then, he looked up at the Divine Monkey, who was standing in the ruins with a stick on his back. A sense of exhaustion came from the bottom of his heart like a tide.
"The Buddha … lost!"
Xuanzang was speechless.
The Monkey King walked towards him and said, "Your palm technique is weak, far less powerful than the original version of Sakya Moni. Back then, I also broke one of Sakya's hands. That's why I was given the title of Victorious Fighting Buddha by the deities of the three realms! Although Sakya gave it to me on purpose, it was also because my master gave me the peerless divine weapon, the Star Stabilizer Divine Metal. "
"But this illustrious reputation was also earned by me, the Monkey King, one stick at a time!"
At this time, Zhuang Bifan had completely given up on thinking deeply about the subtext behind Wukong's words. He just treated it as a dream and all sorts of absurd and bizarre thoughts. He said sluggishly, "What the f * ck God of War … But looking at it from another perspective, this setting is really f * cking cool!"
"Buddha … can also be defeated?" Xuanzang looked up blankly.
"Of course …" The Monkey King said, "In this world, no one is invincible. You treat the Buddha as a god, so of course you can't accept his defeat. But Sakya was just a human in the beginning. In the beginning, before he became a Buddha, some disciples betrayed him and were refuted by the Six Heretic Teachers. They were even expelled by the Brahmin. Even if he became a Buddha, when his homeland, Sakya, was destroyed by foreign troops and the Sakya clan was massacred. Wasn't he still powerless? "
"When Sakya became a Buddha, he won't be defeated, and he can't be defeated."
"It was you Mahayana disciples who pushed him to the altar. From then on, there was no more Sakya, only Buddha Tathagata. But Tathagata … isn't Sakya Mani! "
"Therefore, Sakya was able to lose to me because of his magnanimity. He helped me achieve my Victorious Fighting Buddha goal. Tathagata, on the other hand, cannot be defeated … A Sakya who can be defeated, or a Tathagata who is like a clay puppet on the altar, who is not even allowed to be defeated. Who is closer to enlightenment? "
The Monkey King sighed. "That's why your Rulai's Palm is only so-so!"
"Even if you have the power, you still can't change anything?" Monkey King looked at Xuan Zang and said, "This is the second lesson I'm going to teach you. Face reality. Sakya was faced with reality, so he was an enlightened person. He chose to avoid some things, but he also chose to face some things. And Tathagata is omnipotent. You guys raised him too high, so he can't come down. Therefore, facing reality, he is omnipotent, and he can't become numb. "
"Is it so hard to admit that you can't do it?" Monkey King questioned.
"Just like you, you have the power and Rulai's Palm, but you still lost!"
Xuan Zang was speechless. The Monkey King continued, "Because you don't want to admit that you are powerless, you see all kinds of unfairness, injustice, resentment, and hatred in the world, so you come up with all kinds of excuses, lies, and deceptions. It's because Buddha is powerless, but you say that all living beings reap what they sow. "
"Because when you sit by and watch the world's unfairness, injustice, resentment, hatred, and all kinds of suffering, you are powerless to do anything about it and can only escape. However, you say that you are omnipotent, so that helplessness becomes numbness. Because you don't want to admit this numbness, you come up with all kinds of lies, saying that all living beings reap what they sow, and that Buddha is still omnipotent. How sad. What a joke! "
"The reason why I'm standing in front of you is to destroy your beliefs." Monkey King asked coldly, "Let me ask you …"
"Chen Xuanzang, I only ask you today, can Buddha save all living beings?"
Xuan Zang put his palms together and said with difficulty, "Buddha … Buddha's dharma can save all living beings!"
Goku continued to ask, "Then tell me, how can I save him?"
"As long as everyone has a compassionate heart, as long as everyone converts to Buddha, there will be no more suffering in the world!" Xuan Zang raised his head and said with difficulty under the pressure of Monkey King.
"Stubborn, stubborn!" Monkey King said with disappointment, "Fine, I'll show you the truth today!" After saying that, Wukong leaped and landed in front of the old temple's lone grave. The surrounding five thousand li of land was almost destroyed in an instant, but this old temple was still perfectly preserved.
Monkey King looked at the grave that Xuan Zang had erected for Miss Duan. He laughed coldly and reached out, lifting up Miss Duan's grave amidst Xuanzang's shrill cries.
A skeleton, wearing Miss Duan's clothes, laid there quietly.
Magician frowned, "How is this possible? How did she turn into a skeleton so quickly?" Zhuang Bifan frowned as well, "What is Monkey King trying to do?"
Xuanzang wailed and rushed forward. He clawed at the soil with his hands and feet and held the skeleton in his arms. He said to Wukong, "What else do you want? You said that you won't implicate the innocent. She's already dead. What else do you want? Are you going to turn her into ashes before you'll be happy? Are you going to prove that Buddha can't save all living beings? "
Monkey King didn't retort, only saying coldly, "Look again!"
He pointed at Xuan Zang's chest, but the skeleton was gone. Xuan Zang felt a weight on his chest. He looked down and saw a white jade statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. He didn't know when it happened, but it had replaced the skeleton. Monkey King continued, "Chen Xuanzang, why don't you think about why someone would be so infatuated with you the moment they laid eyes on you?
"Why is there someone who refuses to come to their senses after hearing your sarcastic words?"
Why would Miss Duan like you? Why would the Amorphous Hoops fall into your hands? Do you really believe that it's because of your courage? Do you really believe that an ordinary exorcist could coincidentally spell out the Vairocana Sutra? Do you really believe that there's such a thing as unconditional love in this world? "
Monkey King and Zhuang Bifan said in unison, "Unless it's fate!"
"It's fated that this girl will fall in love with you. It's fated that she will die in your arms. It's fated that you will be the one to retrieve the sutra!" Monkey King said calmly, "Then, what is fated?"
Xuan Zang stared blankly at the white jade statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in his arms. Monkey King said, "Miss Duan is just a karma that Guanyin Bodhisattva enlightened you. Your love is fated. Her every frown, every smile, every tear, although they come from her heart, what does her sincerity amount to? "
"Compared to that, what does your sincerity amount to?"
"Do you love Guanyin Bodhisattva?" Monkey King saw the fear on Xuan Zang's face and asked, "What is Miss Duan?"
"Now, tell me, as one of the living beings, how did Buddha save you? Does Miss Duan count as one of the living beings? "Monkey King asked.
Under Monkey King's questioning, Xuan Zang's expression changed from shock to sadness, and finally, he was stunned. He pondered for a long time and felt that his Zen heart was on the verge of collapse. He couldn't help but hate Miss Duan for fooling him, but he couldn't help but think of the adorable yet clumsy scribbles on the back of the sutra.
He asked himself, "Putting myself in her shoes, is Miss Duan deceiving me? Is her love fake? " Xuanzang gave a negative answer. In the illusion that day, he saw himself and Miss Duan's heart clearly like never before. Only then did Xuan Zang let go of the white jade statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in his hand. He stood up and left the tomb without hesitation. He asked Monkey King, "Mr. Sun, can I ask you a question?"
Monkey King said, "Go ahead! I'll try my best to answer you. "
Xuan Zang raised his head and asked calmly, "Where did Miss Duan go?"
Wukong said, "The rise and fall of karma, the fusion of karma, there will be a day when karma disperses. For you, Miss Duan is already dead."
"Then to Bodhisattva, what is Miss Duan?" Xuan Zang continued.
Wukong smiled and said, "It's just a little trouble!"
"I understand!" Xuan Zang closed his eyes and thanked Monkey King, "Thank you, Mr. Sun!"
Magician suddenly felt that something was wrong with the Demon-revealing Mirror in his hand. He looked down and saw that Sun Wukong's figure was still shining brightly, but Xuanzang's figure was split into two. A monk chanting in a daze had his back facing Xuanzang, who was crying at the sky. The two figures became clearer.
Magician was shocked, "Monkey King didn't have second thoughts, but Xuan Zang did!"
The Buddha's Palm Buddha's doubt after his defeat, the sorrow of learning that Miss Duan's fate was destined, the doubt of Sun Wukong's interrogation, the uneasiness of asking Buddha if he could save all living beings, the desolation of being alone for a lifetime, the guilt of having only the love of his life, the pain of the struggle between Heaven and Man, and the craziness of all these forcing the Zen Heart to waver!
Under the Five Finger Mountain, in the old temple, in the reflection of the world, the five strange pearls that were in a strange state seemed to sense the messy emotions in Xuanzang's heart. Threads of emotions seemed to merge with the five strange pearls.
Magician felt the change and his expression changed, "Oh no!"
Zhuang Bifan and the rest turned around and saw Magician panicking, "How can this be? Why are the five beads moved by Xuan Zang? "
"What five beads?" Zhuang Bifan asked with a frown.
Magician was terrified. The five beads came from the Mysterious World of Heavenly Weapons. The ten beads of the Ancestor Sky Demon Body were split. When Magician and his team were in the Mysterious World of Heavenly Weapons, they paid an unimaginable price to bring back three Demonic Weapons and five beads that had yet to become Demonic Weapons.
Magician came to the Westward Journey World to use the beads and the Hybrid Demons. Their team had painstakingly collected the Demonic Faith from the Wind and Cloud World, Fire Phoenix World, and other worlds. Together with the Kirin Demon Blood, the Hybrid Demons, and the five beads that had been cultivated, they could trigger the demonic thoughts of Xuan Zang, Zhu Ganglie, Sha Wujing, Monkey King, and the rest. Together with the Demon-revealing Mirror, they could cut out the beads of the Two-Hearted Demons. This way, they could destroy the Two-Hearted Demons of their previous lives and obtain a lot of rewards. At the same time, they could obtain five earth-shattering Demonic Weapons.
The reason why they dared to say that they wanted to kill the Monkey King was because they wanted to use the Demonic Weapons to create a Monkey King who only had crazy demonic thoughts and no rationality. This was the only way to bypass Buddha and kill the Monkey King.
But the only thing they miscalculated was the true strength of the Monkey King.
At this moment, Xuan Zang had awakened the Golden Cicada's Nine Lives Zen Heart, but it was shaken by the Monkey King. As the demonic thoughts grew, the Nine Lives Zen Heart gave birth to a shocking demonic thought that exceeded Magician's imagination. It broke through Magician's restriction and triggered the instinct of the beads, causing the five beads to respond at once.
Behind the Golden Cicada's Nine Lives Zen Heart, the demonic thoughts that had accumulated for nine lives transformed into two hearts and were about to cut out of Xuan Zang's body and turn into a terrifying demon.
Magician's forehead was covered in sweat as he said in disbelief, "How is this possible? Even a near-god like Emperor Xuan Zang could only produce one bead. According to our calculations, the Monkey King only needs two beads to contain his demonic nature. Why is it that his demonic nature can't contain five beads even after activating five beads? Why are they being controlled by Chen Xuanzang's Two Hearts? "
"Originally, it should have been five different Demon Orbs without any intelligence. It shouldn't have been this kind of Demon Orb that was controlled by two minds and still retained the intelligence of the original body. It should have been five Demon Orbs!"
But it was too late to say anything now!
The five beads shot out from the Five Beads and entered the back of Xuan Zang's head. The image of a handsome and refined young monk wearing a moon-white kasaya appeared behind Xuan Zang. He had a pair of spirited eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Behind those seemingly intelligent and penetrating eyes, there was actually an endless amount of madness.
A demon bead appeared in his hand and transformed into a nine-ringed staff. Another bead turned into a purple gold alms bowl. Another bead turned into an embroidered kasaya. Another bead was imbued with his demonic body, turning it into an ethereal form. The last bead turned into an ink-colored relic that floated behind his head. The monk walked out of the void and slowly walked over. His every movement was elegant and calm.
He said, "This humble monk's dharma name is Sanzang. I came from Chen Xuanzang's zen heart and was enlightened by Benefactor Monkey King. I understood the Buddha's dharma and returned to the truth. This humble monk's dharma name is a demonic heart that buries the heavens, buries the earth, and buries the common people! "
As he finished speaking, he struck out with his palm. Tang Sanzang laughed maniacally and said, "Let this humble monk send you off!"
The body formed by the beads was abnormally tall, but the palm formed by magic power was almost as tall as the Five Fingers Mountain. Abe Seimei roared angrily and eight hundred shikigami appeared around him. He wanted to block the attack, but the speed at which the shikigami were defeated by Tang Sanzang's palm was so fast that Abe couldn't react in time. He screamed in fear and was smashed into meat paste.
All the shikigami broke out of his body along with his blood essence and were devoured by Tang Sanzang.
At this moment, Monkey King sighed in front of Xuanzang and said, "I'm not the King of the Fiendish Demons because I stopped being one a long time ago. But you have truly given birth to a King of the Fiendish Demons! "
