In the corridor of the second floor of the inn, a woman stood there, wearing only a simple coat. She was glaring at Li Yue and Li Yue angrily.
"Hey, customer, lower your voice, lower your voice!"
The shopkeeper was anxious. The second floor was full of customers, and this shout in the middle of the night was simply asking for his life.
"It's all my fault. Put out the fire, put out the fire."
"What?" The woman was straightforward. She lowered her voice, but her expression was still angry. "You disturbed my rest, and you still think you're in the right?"
"Earlier, you kept telling me that the inn was very quiet. In the end, the moment I lay down, the adulterous couple next door made love to me for a long time, causing me to fall asleep in the middle of the night. Not long after I fell asleep, I was woken up by you again. Is this your fault?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Customer, I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry!" The shopkeeper wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and bowed as he apologized. He had no choice. It was the first time he had met such a fierce female customer.
"It's good that you know!" The woman's expression improved slightly. She immediately said angrily and closed the door with a click.
"Hey! Customer, I'm sorry for making a fool of myself! "
The shopkeeper said to Li Yue with a wry smile. His expression was also helpless.
It was difficult to do business these days. It was even more difficult to take care of every customer's mood.
"Shopkeeper, you've worked hard. This is also my fault!" Li Yue said.
"Customer, aren't you trying to embarrass me by saying that?"
"Don't you have any staff here?" Li Yue asked.
"Yes, I do. It's the child of a relative in town. The child needs to go back to rest at night. After all, he's still young. He's very tired after a busy day!" The shopkeeper said as he led Li Yue to a room at the end of the corridor.
"Here we are, customer. This is the only room left. I hope you don't mind!"
As he spoke, he took out a key and found a key to unlock the door. He then led Li Yue in.
"The room is a little small, but there are no other things missing. Do you think this is okay?"
"Sure!" Li Yue smiled. "It doesn't matter how big or small it is!"
"Alright, please wait for a moment, I'll go get some hot water for you."
"Yes!" Li Yue nodded and suddenly asked, "By the way, shopkeeper, do you know who that woman is?"
"This … I don't know either. She said her surname is Duan. I think she came here yesterday. I don't know anything else!"
"Duan?"
Li Yue's heart skipped a beat as he understood.
"Thank you, shopkeeper!"
"Ah, then I'll go get some water. Please wait a moment!" The shopkeeper paused. He wanted to say something, but he didn't. In the end, he didn't say it. Actually, he wanted to tell Li Yue that this Miss Duan didn't look like someone to be trifled with. Li Yue had better be careful.
However, this could easily annoy the guest. He wasn't familiar with Li Yue, so he could only let it go.
After the shopkeeper left, Li Yue smiled and muttered to himself, "This shopkeeper is a good person. He has a good heart!"
"As for this Miss Duan, hmm, her cultivation is at the Half Deity Realm. She has a metal ring-shaped artifact on her wrist. She must be the woman that Chen Xuanzang is in love with!"
"Yes, host."
"Hehe, is that why you asked me to choose this inn?"
"Yes!"
Li Yue nodded. This Miss Duan had a mysterious background. However, she was indeed one of Chen Xuanzang's Achilles' heel. He could make a good plan.
…
The entire story of Journey to the West was mainly about Chen Xuanzang's past before he became Tang Sanzang.
At that time, fiendish demons were still running rampant in China, and the people were suffering.
At that time, as an ordinary person, Chen Xuanzang became a disciple of a monk who claimed to be an exorcist, so he could better help the people get rid of the fiendish demons. He became an exorcist apprentice.
In fact, Chen Xuanzang didn't learn any skills from his master. Other than the 300 Nursery Rhymes book, he was still an ordinary person. However, Chen Xuanzang was determined to get rid of the fiendish demons and save the people from their suffering. Therefore, he chose to travel around and began his exorcism journey.
His first stop was a small fishing village. There was an incident where a fish demon ate people. The villagers spent money to hire a swindler Daoist to get rid of the demon. When Chen Xuanzang, who had just finished his apprenticeship, heard the news, he enthusiastically came to help the villagers. The process was very complicated, but in the end, he and the villagers used a series of methods to get the fish demon ashore and subdue it.
He volunteered to use the 300 Nursery Rhymes book to reform the fish demon. However, he was almost beaten to death by the fish demon. In the end, the real exorcist, Miss Duan, came and subdued the fish demon.
This was the first time Chen Xuanzang and Miss Duan met. The process was very awkward.
After the two separated, Chen Xuanzang returned to his master's side. His master told him that there was a big demon in the Gao Village not far away. After he went there, he met Miss Duan. The two of them fought the pig demon together. They wanted to subdue it, but they were no match for it. They could only run away pathetically.
This was the second time Chen Xuanzang and Miss Duan met. The process was very dangerous, but during the process, the two of them developed ambiguous feelings.
However, Chen Xuanzang couldn't say it out loud. He could only bury these feelings in his heart. Therefore, he rejected Miss Duan's love.
After leaving, Chen Xuanzang returned to his master's side. He wanted to find a way to deal with the pig demon. His master told him that to deal with this powerful pig demon, he had to find the strongest demon to subdue it. This strongest demon was the invincible demon king that was sealed in the Five Finger Mountain by Tathagata five hundred years ago, Sun Wukong.
Chen Xuanzang went through many hardships and finally found Sun Wukong. He wanted to ask Sun Wukong to help him deal with the pig demon. Although Sun Wukong was sealed for five hundred years, the demonic thoughts in his heart didn't decrease. Instead, they deepened. He deceived Chen Xuanzang and finally escaped the seal.
After escaping, Sun Wukong went berserk and killed Miss Duan in front of Chen Xuanzang. He even tore off Chen Xuanzang's' beautiful hair '. After torturing him for a while, he was prepared to kill Chen Xuanzang himself. In the end, that ordinary' 300 Children's Rhymes' turned into the 'Vairocana Sutra' and completely displayed its might.
Tathagata's projection appeared and pressed down with a peerless palm across space, suppressing Sun Wukong. He was then subdued by Chen Xuanzang. Then, the master and disciples began the Journey to the West …
…
This was the general plot of Journey to the West's Demon Subduing Chapter.
Similarly, in Li Yue's opinion, every character in this movie had an extraordinary background.
Chen Xuanzang was the reincarnation of Buddha's disciple, Golden Cicada. This was common knowledge. As for why he had to be reincarnated, it was obvious that Golden Cicada was an existence like a four-dimensional immortal. It was impossible for such an existence to have love for all living beings. It was like a human looking at ants.
Therefore, the Buddhists chose to let Golden Cicada be reincarnated. Under the power of reincarnation, he was reduced from a four-dimensional immortal to a three-dimensional ordinary person.
Li Yue had been reincarnated for ten thousand years and had a deep understanding of the power of reincarnation. Naturally, he understood all these mysteries.
Then, there was Chen Xuanzang's master, the fat monk. Needless to say, he was one of Tathagata's incarnations.
Finally, there was Miss Duan.
Many people might have overlooked Miss Duan's background. She definitely had a background.
Miss Duan had a commonly used Dharma treasure in the movie called the Indefinite Flying Ring. After Miss Duan died, Chen Xuanzang took this Dharma treasure and put it on Sun Wukong's head.
Yes, it was the famous Golden Hoop.
But who did this Golden Hoop belong to?
It belonged to Guanyin.
Therefore, Miss Duan was very likely Guanyin's clone or reincarnation. (Guanyin seemed to be a man?)
In general, in Li Yue's opinion, Journey to the West's Demon Subduing Chapter was the story of a mortal named Chen Xuanzang who was completely toyed with by Tathagata and Guanyin.
Of course, all of this was just his guess. Li Yue did not know the details.
He could only take one step at a time.
