"You did." Chen Xuanzang said seriously, "I heard it clearly. You said, 'Don't mind what I say!' Go up and undo the seal … I changed it later. "
"What I say isn't important. What's important is whether you're willing to give it a try." Monkey King shrugged, "You just have to go up there, face the moonlight, and chant — Mani Mani Padmi Hum!"
"Really?" Chen Xuanzang asked doubtfully.
Monkey King sighed helplessly, "I see you still don't believe me. Since you don't want to chant the six-syllable mantra left here, let's change it. I remember that the way to contact Guanyin is Maha Prajna Paramita. You can also chant it: Jidi Jidi, Pāramitā Jidi, Pāramitā Jidi, Pāramitā Jidi."
"And the way to contact Mahavairocana — Lin Bing Dou Zhe, all in formation."
"You can choose any one!"
Chen Xuanzang asked doubtfully, "I've learned the Nine Syllables Mantra and Prajna Paramita Mantra before. Can I really contact Buddha by chanting them?"
"Of course you can't read it. You need a device that can let Buddha receive your request. For example, this six-word Great Light Incantation Stele is a business card left here by Buddha. You can read it, and you will be right!" Goku pointed to the stele placed in the corner of the cave.
Chen Xuanzang looked at it for a long time and shook his head, "Mister Sun, I feel that this is Buddha's seal to suppress you."
Goku said sternly, "So, you don't believe me?"
"I believe you!" Chen Xuanzang turned his head and saw Miss Duan jumping down from above. He couldn't help but feel a headache as he said, "Why did you follow me here?" Duan Ling Tian's eyes lit up.
"I realized that you're a little mysterious. People who don't look like good people often appear around you … I'm worried about you, so I followed you!" Miss Duan said.
"We have serious matters to discuss now. It's related to subduing the pig demon. Go away!" Chen Xuanzang waved his hand.
"I have serious matters to discuss now. I'm not here to bother you." Miss Duan said helplessly, "I've been following you for the past few days. Do you still remember the day when we encountered the Pig Demon and the mysterious Exorcists? I went back and checked. Although I've heard of their names among the exorcists, no one has actually encountered them. "
"Later, I was worried about you, so I secretly followed behind you. I discovered that someone was also following you. It should be related to those Exorcists. I know you're here to look for the Monkey King, and I suspect that someone is trying to find the King of the Demons, the Monkey King, through you. "
"Find the Monkey King?" Chen Xuanzang glanced at the Monkey King, who was pretending not to hear anything, and asked, "Why are they looking for the Monkey King?"
"For five hundred years, no one has ever found the Monkey King." Miss Duan said solemnly.
"But in this world, only Mr. Sun is recognized as the king of the fiendish demons."
The Monkey King said modestly, "It's just so-so. A hero doesn't boast about his past achievements. I've only killed a few deities, caused chaos in the heavenly palace, and broke one of Rulai's hands. Although I'm no longer in the pugilistic world, there are still legends about me everywhere! "
"Exorcists focus on exorcism. The reason why so many people want to subdue the Pig Demon isn't because they want to help the people, but because the families of the people who were killed by the Pig Demon put up a bounty. If they can subdue the Pig Demon, they can gain fame and fortune. That's why so many people are here."
"This is just a Pig Demon. What if it's the King of the Demons, the Monkey King?"
"But the Monkey King has been locked up here for five hundred years. The people he killed should be long dead. There shouldn't be any bounty, right? "Chen Xuanzang said doubtfully.
"Hey, hey, hey! What you said is wrong! When did I kill mortals? "The Monkey King said with a smile," In my life, I've only swung my stick at the strong and never the weak. Do you think I'm a coward like Zhu Ganglie? He earned his fame by killing mortals, but I, the Monkey King, earned my fame by smashing the Southern Heavenly Gate to the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches with a steel pipe in my hand. I'm not exaggerating at all … "
"Sun Wukong is the King of Fiendish Demons. Only an Exorcist who subdued the King of Fiendish Demons can be called the King of Exorcists," Miss Duan said solemnly. "For the sake of this reputation, many Exorcists can disregard it."
"You're saying," Chen Xuanzang was shocked, "Someone wants to release the Monkey King?"
"I don't know, but someone is indeed guiding us here. Mister Emptiness, Heaven's Leg Breaker, and Tiger Form Fist are nearby. The Pig Demon has also been lured to the Five Fingers Mountain. In another day, it will be the night of the full moon. If they discover this place, they won't let the Monkey King go."
"I think so! You don't have to worry too much. It's still uncertain who will let the other go! "The Monkey King said with a smile.
"Then we must not let them take down the Six Words Stone Tablet of the Great Radiance Incantation." Chen Xuanzang said seriously, "This is the place where the Buddha sealed Mister Sun. If we release a more terrifying demon just to subdue the Pig Demon, we will be the sinners of the Great Tang Empire."
"Ai ai ai! Did you hear me? I already said that I'm staying here voluntarily. The Buddha has never imprisoned me. In fact, I've been waiting for a fated person to bring two catties of fruits here. Only then will I let go of the past, the Monkey King, and become a new and free me. "Monkey King said honestly.
But the two people beside him didn't believe him.
At this time, Heaven's Leg Breaker's voice came from the top of the cave, "There's a lotus pond in front. This place is so desolate, but there's actually a lotus pond under the moonlight. Even an idiot would know that there's a ghost here!"
The Monkey King added, "That's right. This Exorcist has the same opinion as me!"
Miss Duan said anxiously, "I'll stop them. You stay here and don't move." Then, without waiting for Chen Xuanzang's reply, she leaped out of the cave.
Chen Xuanzang wanted to say something but stopped. He wanted to reach out his hand, but he retracted it in the end.
The Monkey King took out the durian he brought and split it with his hand. Instantly, a strong aroma filled the air. As he chewed on the durian, he asked, "She likes you?"
Chen Xuanzang wasn't willing to answer. The Monkey King asked again, "Actually, you haven't reached the threshold yet. Although you're a monk, there's no rule that says a monk can't love a person, right? "
"Why do you know so much?" Chen Xuanzang turned back and said, "Shouldn't demons have no attachments? Why do you know about love and hatred in the human world? If you know about love and hatred in the human world, why did you accumulate so much hatred and obsession? "
"If I don't know about love and hatred, why would I be obsessed, hateful, resentful, and sorrowful?" The Monkey King chewed on the durian and smiled. "Aren't the demons in this world human? If the fish demon wasn't unrewarded for his kindness, if the pig demon wasn't obsessed with love, if you weren't unable to get what you wanted … "
"Then what about you, Mister Sun?" Chen Xuanzang asked, "Why did you become a demon?"
The Monkey King put down the durian and clapped his hands. "Alright! You want to reform me, right? Then let me tell you. I became a demon because of the Victorious Fighting Buddha. It was the Buddha's unwillingness that gave birth to me. And I just want to be free, to break away from those restraints that restrict my fate. You should understand this feeling very well. "
"For example, as a Mahayana disciple, you've cut off all emotions. Yet, there's such a good woman who likes you. Don't you feel unresigned? Then, one day, the Buddha bestowed upon you a great responsibility. He wanted you to realize it, so he killed your woman. To put it nicely, he wanted you to comprehend the great love in the human world. Then, he sought a way to free yourself from all the sufferings of time. When you understood that all of this was a trick of fate, you would also become a demon. "
"I'm different from the fish demon and pig demon. One of them is resentful, while the other is hateful. But I just want to be free. But to the Buddha, wanting freedom, resentment, and hatred are the same. They are all demons."
"Why?" Chen Xuanzang was puzzled.
However, Wukong suddenly revealed an incomparably malevolent expression. It was as if he wanted to destroy the world and possessed boundless demonic nature. Chen Xuanzang was so frightened that he crawled and rolled, escaping to a corner of the cave. Wukong laughed loudly and said, "Because my freedom is bound to destroy everything. Because my freedom is built on the pain of others."
"Because I am destined to destroy this world."
