After Ye Chen and Tang Seng followed Liu Boqin up the Twin Forks Ridge, they did not encounter any poisonous insects along the way, which made Ye Chen feel very relieved.
After all, with such a capable person by their side, his and Tang Seng's safety was at least fully guaranteed.
Liu Boqin was very familiar with the terrain of the Twin Forks Ridge. He led the two of them through the woods on the ridge. When they passed by a stream, he even considerately filled their water bottles with water.
Under his lead, Ye Chen and Tang Seng quickly descended the mountain. Tang Seng was still sitting on the horse, meditating and chanting scriptures, while Ye Chen was observing the surrounding terrain to guess where they were.
The terrain of the mountain was very complicated. The mountains here were generally connected, so as soon as they descended the mountain, they saw a strange-looking hill in front of them.
"Amitabha. Almsgiver Liu, what mountain is that in front of us? The shape of this mountain is a bit strange. This poor monk has never seen or heard of such a mountain before. "
Tang Seng also woke up from his meditation at this moment. He pointed at the mountain in front of them and asked Liu Boqin.
"Ah, Master, you don't know about this. This mountain is called Twin World Mountain. It is said that it was a mountain that fell from the sky when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty."
Liu Boqin saw that Tang Sanzang was finally out of his meditative state, so he started talking excitedly. "Speaking of which, because of the special shape of this mountain, we don't call it the Two World Mountain. We call it the Five Finger Mountain."
"It does look like five fingers." Ye Chen looked at the mountain and nodded. From a distance, this mountain did look like a big hand standing on the ground, just like what was written in the books.
"Yes, legend has it that a 'demon monkey' was suppressed at the foot of this mountain. It was imprisoned by Gautama Buddha for causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace."
Liu Boqin explained the origin and legend of the mountain to Tang Seng. Tang Seng looked at the mountain and nodded. But then he started to worry.
"Amitabha. Benefactor Liu said that there is a demon monkey at the foot of the mountain. I wonder if this demon monkey … is powerful? It won't attack us when we pass by, right? "
"Furthermore, you just said that the monstrous monkey was the monkey that had wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace. That ability sounds boundlessly powerful. If it were to unleash its ferocious nature, I'm afraid that the few of us would not be able to stop it."
Ye Chen smiled from the side, thinking to himself, "This monkey is waiting for you to save him. How could he be in the mood to be fierce towards you?"
Besides, you're a person blessed by a deity. Why are you afraid of monkeys? Anyway, if something happens to you, someone will clean up your mess.
"Don't worry, Venerable One. That monkey might not really exist. If there really is such a monkey, it must have been suppressed under the mountain by Gautama Buddha for as long as 500 years. Whether it's still alive or not is another matter."
"Even if that monkey is really alive, its mana should have been mostly suppressed by Gautama Buddha, so there's no need to worry at all."
Although Ye Chen despised Tang Sanzang's cowardice in his heart, he still comforted Tang Seng verbally. After all, if Tang Seng bypassed the Double Realm Mountain because of fear, they would suffer a great loss.
Besides, Tang Seng's worries were completely unjustified. That monkey had already been enlightened by Guanyin and was just waiting for Tang Seng to save it.
"Amitabha, that's great. Since that's the case, let's set off. Once we pass through the Two World Mountain, it should be much more peaceful." Tang Sanzang lowered his head and chanted a Buddhist mantra. Then, he muttered to himself softly.
