Chapter 630: Tang Seng Takes Action, Supreme Treasure's Heart Flutters (5/7, begging for subscriptions)
Only after the vice leader led Tang Seng away did the bandits rub their chests and climb up from the ground.
"That monk is way too brutal. He hit me so bad."
"Right? I even threw up a few liters of blood. How long will it take to make it back?"
"I wonder if the gang leader will get into trouble too?"
They didn't know what was going on either. In any case, they seemed to have endless vitality.
Compared to ordinary people, they were practically like monsters.
At first, they found it a little strange.
As time went on, they simply took it as an extraordinary innate gift.
After all, in this world, even legends of monsters existed, so a group of people who were hard to kill was perfectly normal.
……
Under the vice leader's guidance, Tang Seng quickly met that Axe Gang leader, Supreme Treasure.
Tangled hair, stubbly beard, looking like he hadn't groomed himself in ages.
Tattered clothes, standing there, striking a pose he thought looked domineering, but in fact looking like a street thug.
"Where does this guy look anything like the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?" Tang Seng sneered inwardly. "Still, I'm not much better. Wearing this monk's robe, where do I have any of the original version's awe-inspiring air?"
"Greetings, Gang Leader!"
"You say he's my friend?" Supreme Treasure picked his nose and scoffed. "How come I don't know when I ever made a monk friend?"
"That was just for convenience!" Tang Seng laughed. "Gang Leader, may we step aside to talk?"
The vice leader blinked.
Supreme Treasure pretended not to see it and said, "Fine, let's go inside to talk. Don't worry, he can't beat me!"
Saying so, he led Tang Seng inside.
Seeing Tang Seng pass by, the vice leader's face went awkward. He quickly plastered on a smile, afraid Tang Seng might suddenly fly into a rage and beat him half to death.
Even if he couldn't die, it still hurt.
He didn't have any weird tastes like that!
Creak!
The door shut!
The next moment, Blindy and the others crawled out of the bushes, chattering: "Ooh, the gang leader took the monk inside!"
"Blindy, the gang leader's heart doesn't belong to you anymore from now on."
"Yeah, the gang leader's fallen for someone new. What a scumbag."
Creak!
The door opened. Supreme Treasure looked at the bunch of clowns with a helpless face: "I heard all that!"
"Blindy, did you make up some nonsense again?"
"The gang leader's coming!"
Seeing Supreme Treasure open the door, the crowd scattered in an instant.
Supreme Treasure was long used to this bunch of subordinates. He shut the door and looked at Tang Seng.
"Speak up, monk. What's the matter? If what you say doesn't interest me, then don't blame my axe for being ruthless."
Tang Seng smiled. "This matter will definitely interest you!"
"Oh?" Supreme Treasure sneered. "Let's hear it."
"Do you want to become an immortal?"
Supreme Treasure was stunned. "Become an immortal? I'm a bandit chief, and you're telling me about becoming an immortal?"
"Correct." Tang Seng smiled. "But you're no ordinary bandit chief."
Supreme Treasure said narcissistically, "Even if I'm handsome and dashing, outstanding and extraordinary, I'm still a bandit chief. That has nothing to do with becoming an immortal, right? Monk, are you here to toy with me?"
"No." Tang Seng shook his head. "Would you, the donor, like to hear me tell a story?"
Supreme Treasure was startled. "Tell a story? They say swindlers love telling stories. Are you doing this on purpose?"
"No, this story isn't told to swindle you." Tang Seng shook his head and went on talking to himself. "This story is called Journey to the West…"
Saying so, he looked up at the sky.
Seeing no change outside, he felt greatly reassured: "The chat group really is powerful. Even though I mentioned the forbidden words, the Tathagata still hasn't noticed."
He looked at Supreme Treasure and went on telling the story.
A long while passed.
Supreme Treasure pointed at himself in astonishment and said, "You're saying I'm Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven? That monkey who got schemed against?"
"That's right."
Supreme Treasure asked again, "I've already reincarnated five hundred times."
"No, this is the five hundred and first time." Tang Seng corrected him.
Supreme Treasure fell silent, looked around, and a creeping sense of dread rose in his heart: "No wonder I feel a sense of familiarity with so many things. Could there really be reincarnation?"
"No, that's not right!" Supreme Treasure came to his senses. "What you said is wrong. If this is the reincarnation arranged by the Tathagata, then how did you break free of it?"
"We're discussing his scheme right now. How could he fail to foresee it?"
Tang Seng smiled smugly. "That's naturally because I have a method to conceal the heavenly secrets. Right now, the Tathagata definitely can't foresee anything we're doing."
"What is it?" Supreme Treasure asked curiously.
Tang Seng shook his head. "Telling you is useless. Let me just ask you: do you want to escape your current predicament? Are you willing to lose your memories and become the Victorious Fighting Buddha of Lingshan, or would you rather regain your freedom?"
Supreme Treasure thought for a moment and asked, "How sure are you, and is there any danger?"
"No danger!" Tang Seng smiled. "As long as you listen to me, I guarantee you a one hundred percent escape."
Supreme Eye's gaze turned sharp as he asked, "Then why did you help me? Just because of the master-disciple bond? I don't believe you value that!"
Tang Seng scoffed, "The predicament you're in today, this humble monk has already experienced once before. I've recovered my memories, so of course I must seek revenge. After being a puppet for so many years, shouldn't I retaliate?"
Supreme Eye was shocked: "You've already experienced this same predicament once before?"
"That's right." Tang Seng said with pride, "Although this seat is a disciple under the Tathagata, I was once the fiercest and most violent Six-Winged Jin Chan between heaven and earth! The Tathagata enslaved me—how could I simply let it go with him!"
"So that's how it is." Supreme Eye pondered, "Then what should I do?"
