There are 81 difficulties in the journey to the West, and you can skip them?!

Now Sun Wukong is curious about this. If it is really possible, wouldn’t it mean that he can just send Tang Seng to the last difficulty and everything will be fine.

Sun Wukong wants to see how Buddhism will proceed now that Tang Monk is in trouble at Lion Camel Ridge!
"Old Pig knows it."

When Zhu Bajie heard what Sun Wukong said, he was 100% sure that it was Sun Wukong's doing that caused Tang Monk to get missing.

But he couldn't figure out how the Bodhisattvas and Arhats who were protecting Tang Seng could have acquiesced to it.

There is no need to worry that the monkey will do something bad in secret, and if things go wrong, it will really bring disaster to Tang Seng.

That would be a big joke.

"Brother Monkey, you are such a fool. You acted in secret and you are not afraid that someone will come after you."

"Hehe, I have always suspected that Monk Tang is not the only one who can recite the mantra. If those light gourds are really irritated, both you and I will suffer, Brother Monkey."

When Zhu Bajie thought of the pain, numbness and itching he felt when Tang Seng recited the Buddhist precepts, he felt unwell all over.

It's really unbearable.

It is really a life worse than death, even gods cannot bear it.

It was also after experiencing such an incident that Zhu Bajie had long suspected that it was Sun Wukong who had secretly attacked Tang Seng, so he pretended nothing had happened.

"It's right to suffer! Hehe, since Old Sun has suffered, can Elder Tang still be well?"

"Okay, idiot, stop talking about these useless things. Have you heard Elder Tang talk about the method of chanting precepts and sutras? How far can it penetrate?"

Lion Camel Ridge is very far away from Chechi Kingdom.

For ordinary people to get through this, it would probably take three to five years.

If it is Tang Monk's method of reciting precepts, he can only convey the meaning through chanting. Later, Sun Wukong has a hundred ways to deal with him.

"This... How would Old Pig know?"

"Brother Monkey, don't even think about it. Since the Buddha has come here to find a way to control you and me, and even Monk Tang can recite it, how can it be easily cracked? It's impossible!"

"Those light scoops are not stupid."

"That's true. I'm overthinking it. But it doesn't hurt to give it a try. What do you think, idiot?"

Sun Wukong wanted to give it a try, so Zhu Bajie naturally had no objection.

However, if he was implicated, Zhu Bajie would be unwilling to do so.

……

Guanjiangkou, Zhenjun Temple.

After meeting Sun Wukong, Nezha did not go to Guanjiangkou immediately.

Instead, he first returned to the Haihui Palace in the Heavenly Palace, opened his own treasure house, took out some elixirs, and carried some weapons and jade books. Then he went down to the mortal world again and made his way to Guanjiangkou.

Just like before.

Nezha went looking for Yang Jian without reporting anything. His cloud of light was like an autumn wind passing by, blowing directly through the gate of Zhenjun Temple and landing in the central courtyard of the temple.

Nezha eagerly summoned Erlang Shen.

He first stuffed some of the gifts he brought to Erlang Shen, and then went to a quiet room with Yang Jian to talk.

"… Third Prince, are you taking a break from your busy schedule again?"

"What are you talking about? Second brother, please don't tease me. I was just... visited by Taibai Jinxing and was given some special advice, so I have some free time."

"Otherwise, how could that person let me leave the house! Humph!!"

After indicating that Erlang Shen had disturbed the traces of the heavenly secrets around him, Nezha said, "Second brother, the old man Taibai mentioned that he wanted to bring Chenxiang's karma to Sun Dasheng's head... For this reason, I also went to see Sun Dasheng. He didn't take it too seriously."

"However, he also mentioned that he wanted to take Chenxiang as his apprentice, so I'm afraid there is some cause and effect behind it."

"For a moment, I couldn't make up my mind, so I had to come to find my second brother."

In a few words, Nezha briefly explained his purpose and his past experiences with Taibai Jinxing and Sun Wukong.

Nezha said so.

Yang Jian naturally understood that Taibai's appearance to meet Nezha was most likely the intention of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.

They are planning to attack Sun Wukong.

If possible.

Yang Jian didn't want to follow their wishes, but on second thought, if his nephew could become Sun Wukong's disciple, it would be a great thing.

Although he had never discussed or fought with Sun Wukong, how could Yang Jian not know what Sun Wukong's methods were?

There is no weak person who can destroy the Quasi-Saint Hunyuan!
Moreover.

Today, Sun Wukong not only has the Queen Wa Palace behind him, but also the Shangqing Saint. Even with the two saints, Chenxiang would not suffer any loss if he worshipped in front of Sun Wukong.

As a matter of course, if I offend any demons, gods or immortals in the future, I can also say that I, Chenxiang, am a disciple of a saint!
Who dares to do anything to me?

Yang Jian, who is himself a third-generation disciple of the Chan sect, knows too well how sharp someone with such a background can be.

The main point is, I can bully you, but you try to bully me!

"Why can't you make up your mind? It's a good thing that Chenxiang can become Sun Wukong's disciple!"

"Of course I know that! I thought so too. But I met Sun Wukong and heard him talk about it... He is also a member of Jiejiao, and his karma is too deep. Add to that his identity as a pilgrim, and the karma of the demon and witch tribes... This is really..."

"I can't make up my mind either."

Although, when Nezha met Sun Wukong, he did not hear Sun Wukong talk about the cause and effect between the witch clan and the demon clan.

But when Sun Wukong talked about Jiejiao, Nezha naturally thought more.

Today, almost every hair of Sun Wukong is stained with many causes and effects.

He is just a person favored by the luck of heaven and earth for a while. If someone else dares to be like Sun Wukong and provoke all kinds of cause and effect, I am afraid that the grass on his grave will be as thick as a human.

I don’t even know how I died.

"It involves too many causes and consequences. So... I have no choice but to ask my second brother. To be honest, you are Chenxiang's biological uncle, right?"

In Nezha's eyes, Chenxiang and Erlang Shen's maternal uncles are more important than his relatives, and that's no joke.

If Erlang Shen had not been protecting Chenxiang all the time, it would have been a question whether he could give birth.

Not to mention stealing the Heavenly Palace.

"You and I are brothers, why are you being so formal?"

"If Sun Dasheng agrees, and you agree too, I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

“Second brother, you better think about it carefully!” Seeing some words coming out of Erlang Shen’s mouth, Nezha became a little anxious. “The cause and effect are too great, and it is very likely to crush people to death.”

"Especially the conflict between the two religions... Who knows, your nephew may fight against you in the future!"

For Nezha, who doesn't like to think things through, it's good enough that he can think of this.

When Erlang Shen heard this, he thought of more things at once, and even couldn't sit still to breathe, pacing back and forth in the quiet room.

Not to mention anything else.

Take the story of Chenxiang becoming Sun Wukong’s apprentice. The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother had their own ideas involved, and even Erlang Shen was a little hesitant.

If he went against the will of the Jade Emperor, it would be hard for the Three Holy Mothers to leave the mountain in the future. But if he agreed, Yang Jian felt that he was being plotted against by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.

Not to mention, there are all kinds of filth and hatred between the Chan and Jie sects...

Add to that the various causes and effects of the demon clan, the witch clan, the Buddhist sect, etc. After thinking about it for a while, Yang Jian suddenly felt that it was a miracle that Sun Wukong could live safely until now. The master and the apprentice are of the same lineage.

Chenxiang worships Sun Wukong as his master. If he can get his true teachings, his destiny and cause and effect will definitely be tied together.

What a bad time.

Maybe the demons, witches, Buddhists, and even the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother could not do anything to Sun Wukong, but it would probably be easy to do something to Chenxiang.

Given the connection between cause and effect, Chenxiang has great hope for a better future.

"Second brother, please stop turning. It makes me dizzy."

Erlang Shen paced in the quiet room for a long time, and Nezha felt a little confused.

Is it possible or not?
Yang Jian was also unsure, "Until you tell me, I can't make up my mind for a while. Nezha, why don't you think about it for me, why do the two people in the sky want to connect Chenxiang and Sun Dasheng. If we can figure out the connection, everything else will be easy."

Countless years have passed since he was deified.

Erlang Shen's temperament had long since calmed down.

When encountering things, I am naturally less reckless and more willing to explore the cause and effect relationships and ask why.

Otherwise, if you act rashly, you will eventually be plotted against.

It's enough to work hard but get no thanks, and end up suffering the consequences, three or five times.

Erlang Shen is not stupid.

"Second brother, are you kidding me?"

"I would like to use my brain, but this Lotus Root Creation's brain is really a bit rotten wood. Instead of asking me to use my brain, it's better for me to think about how to rebel against them."

Upon hearing Nezha's words.

Yang Jian couldn't help but slap his forehead, thinking that he was really asking the wrong person.

Why would he ask Nezha about such an important matter?

The Third Prince has always been quick with his lance than with his brain. If you give him a warning a little late, he will be able to destroy any demons, ghosts, or even gods and immortals in front of him.

He was so reckless back then in the East China Sea, and he is still so now.

Nothing can change.

"I won't ask you, I can't make up my mind about this matter for the time being. It just so happens that I have some doubts about my cultivation, and I want to go to Jinxia Cave in Yuquan Mountain to pay homage to my master. Do you want to come with me?"

"Go to Jinxia Cave? Didn't Master Uncle say that he is in seclusion recently and won't see any guests?"

"You and I are also guests?"

After hearing what Yang Jian said, Nezha immediately jumped up from the cushion he was sitting on, and said, "That's right, second brother is right. We are disciples and juniors, and we are not guests at all when we go to see our own masters and uncles. It's obviously filial piety to go and pay respects to the elders."

"Brother, what are you waiting for? Let's go and pay our respects to our uncle."

Seeing Nezha tugging at his sleeves, eager to go to Yuquan Mountain, Yang Jian had no choice but to say a few more words, "Wait a minute, at least let me change my clothes. You can't let me go to see the master wearing this."

Later, Yang Jian went to change his clothes.

Nezha followed on both sides until Yang Jian ordered Xiaotian Dog to take Nezha all the way to the Jinxia Cave in Yuquan Mountain on the clouds. Then Nezha retreated half a step and followed behind Yang Jian.

"Master, your disciple Yang Jian comes to pay his respects to you!"

"Uncle Master, Nezha is here to pay his respects as well!"

Without even waiting for the Jinxia Cave door to open, the two people standing at the entrance bowed repeatedly.

When the boy Jinxia opened the cave door and came out to greet the two people, the expression on his tense little face was indescribably strange.

"Junior brother, did someone hit you in the face? Why don't you tell me and I will avenge you?"

When Yang Jian saw that Jinxia Boy had a strange look on his face, he pretended not to notice it and just followed him into the cave. However, Nezha on the side didn't care about that.

Seriously, which pot should not be opened?

This made Jinxia Tongzi's eyes roll up, and he said crisply: "Brother Nezha, you should just take care of yourself. The master knew you were coming, but he even said twice, you shouldn't come, you shouldn't come."

Hearing what Jinxia Tongzi said, Nezha's face fell.

Although Nezha doesn’t act like a disciple in front of Taiyi Zhenren, he can be seen that the other eleven immortals of the orthodox teaching are all very honest.

There is nothing we can do.

When I was a child, I was beaten up many times by the other eleven fairies in various ways, so I grew up to be a wise man.

The key point is that he couldn't beat them and couldn't afford to offend them, so he went to complain to his master. But the master said that those uncles and aunts were there to discipline his apprentices for him, and he couldn't wait to do that.

What can we do?

It really made Nezha feel very uncomfortable.

"…Meet Uncle Master."

After entering the depths of Jinxia Cave and meeting Jade Ding Zhenren, Nezha felt even more restrained.

Especially when Jade Ding Zhenren looked at Nezha with a smile, Nezha became even more cautious, fearing that he had provoked his uncle and the consequences would be unpredictable.

"Master, please don't scare Nezha."

It was rare for Yang Jian to speak for Nezha, but Jade Ding Zhenren waved the whisk in his hand and said lightly, "Erlang, you still talk about Nezha! You, as a disciple, don't even listen to your master now."

"Master, Yang Jian doesn't dare!"

"Oh! You dare not say it, but you dare to do it, right? What did your master tell you earlier? I told you that if you have nothing else to do, it would be best not to cause any trouble in the next hundred years, and not to leave the temple easily. What did you do?"

Doesn't Jade Ding Zhenren understand his own disciple yet?

He said a few words casually, then changed the subject and said, "Now is the time when Buddhism is flourishing. If you enter it, there will definitely be a great cause and effect in the future. Who knows what will happen under the entanglement of cause and effect? ​​When that time comes, even your master can't protect you."

"You are like this, and so is Nezha. Do you understand?"

As the second generation disciple of Chanjiao.

Regarding some things in the world, Jade Ding Zhenren knows much more than Yang Jian and Nezha.

It is even more clear that there are few good people in Buddhism.

If you don't provoke them, they will all want to calculate your karma. If you step into the karma of Buddhism, it will be even worse.

Moreover, this kalpa is the kalpa of Nirvana!
The catastrophe should be borne by Buddhism, and they are eager to find more people to help bear it together.

They would like it even more if there were disciples of saints involved.

Jade Ding Zhenren knows the reason very well.

"Uncle Master, Nezha doesn't quite understand. How about you explain it to Nezha in detail? So that Nezha can pay more attention to it in the future?"

"You naughty boy, if you want to know, go ask your master!"

"What's the difference between a master and an uncle? Aren't they all family? Uncle, what do you think? Please help me solve my doubts."

Jade Ding Zhenren didn't even think about it.

Holding the whisk in his hand, he knocked on Nezha's raised forehead three times, "bang bang bang".

Talking about the three generations of disciples of the Chan sect, if we talk about who has the highest level of cultivation, it is definitely not Nezha. But if we talk about who is the most naughty, who is most likely to stir up trouble, or even who cannot distinguish right from wrong, Nezha is definitely one of them among the three generations of disciples of the Chan sect.

Moreover, this little Nezha would always go to his master and uncle to complain and cry out for grievances no matter what happened. No matter how he acted, he had caused trouble.

Having such a disciple would really shorten one's life. (End of this chapter)
