Chapter 283: Xuanzang: Yang Jian, are you teaching me how to do things?
Buddhism, Lingshan.
Rulai, who was sitting on the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform lecturing on the scriptures, suddenly stopped and asked:
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, where has Xuanzang's party reached now?"
"?" Guanyin Bodhisattva was silent for a moment.
Rulai could clearly perform the divination himself, so why did he specifically ask her?
Moreover, during this period, everyone was at Lingshan lecturing on the scriptures, and basically no one was paying attention to affairs in the mortal world.
Other Buddhas, Arhats, and Bodhisattvas cast their gazes over one after another.
Seeing this, Guanyin formed a seal with one hand and calculated Xuanzang's location, though she felt slightly strange.
Why was the progress of the journey west not increasing but decreasing, and the direction seemed to have deviated, no longer heading west, but southeast?
"Reporting to Buddha, Xuanzang's party is currently in the southeast region of Nanshan Buzhou, at Wanku Mountain," Guanyin said.
"Cough, cough, cough, southeast?"
Maitreya Buddha could not help but cough, and suddenly changed his posture to lie on his lotus seat.
"..." Rulai.
"Why is it not west, but southeast? Could it be that some mistake has occurred?" Randeng said.
"No mistake has occurred; it is just that Xuanzang encountered the Three Holy Mother of Mount Hua, Yang Chan, during his journey west. The two are traveling together and have gone to Wanku Mountain," Guanyin said.
Even if she did not say this, others could have calculated it.
"Yang Chan." The expression on Randeng's face was somewhat subtle.
Although this Yang Chan was a junior, her seniority was in no way inferior to antique-level existences like them.
Because Yang Chan was one of the default spokespersons for the Empress Nuwa, one of her disciples!
As long as she held the Lotus Lantern, without any special reason, no one dared to touch Yang Chan.
After all, who would dare not give face to Nuwa.
"I heard that this Yang Chan is a famous beauty in the Three Realms."
Tianyu Pusa, who was beside Guanyin, smiled. This Tianyu Pusa was extremely beautiful with a graceful figure, yet she radiated an aura of pure flawlessness, like a contradiction that made it difficult for people to see through her.
"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, Namo Amituofo, we must have confidence in Xuanzang," Xianglong said.
"Tathagata Buddha, what is your take?" Maitreya asked.
"All living beings in heaven and earth have their own destiny."
Tathagata Buddha said, remaining unmoved.
"Still quite calm." Maitreya smiled and said nothing, though there was some worry in his eyes.
If they continued west at Xuanzang's current speed, he feared it would take until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse to reach Lingshan.
Wanku Mountain.
When Yang Jian arrived with Xiaotian Dog, the atmosphere of the entire Wanku Mountain was somewhat murderous, and the temperature had dropped to freezing.
At the foot of the mountain.
"Damn it, Monkey, why is this Yang Jian here?" Zhu Bajie exclaimed in shock.
"You ask me, how would I know?"
Sun Wukong shrugged his shoulders and took a big gulp of Happy Water, feeling pleasant.
"Senior Brother, give me a sip," Heixiong said.
"You simpleton."
Sun Wukong gave the remaining half bottle to Heixiong; mainly, he was not well-stocked himself, as what the Master had given him initially was basically all drunk.
"Thank you, Monkey Brother!" Heixiong said happily.
"Leave some for Old Zhu, Brother Bear!" Zhu Bajie hurriedly leaned in with his mouth.
Unfortunately, he was still too slow; Heixiong's mouth was incredibly large, and he finished it in one gulp.
Bajie could only lick the empty bottle to savor the aftertaste.
"Look at your lack of ambition," Sun Wukong laughed.
"You plague-ridden Bima Wen, you treat your junior brother differently," Bajie said aggrievedly.
"But having said that, what exactly does Yang Jian want to do?" Sun Wukong said.
Having not seen him for five hundred years, Sun Wukong clearly noticed that Yang Jian's magic power had improved greatly; his every move was natural and perfect, and he was even becoming somewhat unfathomable.
If they were to fight again, it was uncertain who would win.
"As everyone knows, Yang Jian is a sister-complex. Now that our Master is with Yang Chan, do you think Yang Jian can sit still?
Besides, Yang Chan has guarded Mount Hua alone for many years, with no one to cherish or love her. Meeting a man as handsome as our Master, how could she hold onto her original intent?
Moreover, there are plenty of daughters in the Jade Emperor's family who have longed for the mortal world and fallen in love; Yang Chan is the Jade Emperor's niece, so naturally, she cannot escape this curse," Bajie said with a smile, looking very composed.
"Then isn't he going to cause trouble for Master? That won't do; how can we, as disciples, let Master encounter danger," Heixiong said in a muffled voice.
"My muscles are already starving and impatient!" Xiaobailong said seriously.
It's just the number one War God of the Three Realms!
As a dignified prince of the Dragon Clan, why should he fear a fight?
"If Yang Jian looks for trouble with Master, I, Old Sun, will have to properly learn his skills," Sun Wukong said.
Bajie, however, was completely calm and said:
"Why are you worrying? Is there a possibility that Yang Jian cannot beat our Master?"
"You must know, our Master is already at the Half-step Daluo realm, and is only a tiny bit away from becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
At this realm of our Master, who can block him below the Great Luo?"
"Yang Jian is indeed strong, but no matter how strong, he is not a Great Luo Golden Immortal, so, Master will not have much of a problem."
"That makes some sense; I, Old Sun, was just concerned and lost my head, forgetting that Master is capable of pinning me to the ground and pounding me." Sun Wukong scratched his head.
"So, don't panic when things happen. Right, put on the uniforms Master gave us a while ago; when the real fight starts later, we'll cheer for Master," Zhu Bajie said.
Speaking of the uniforms, the expressions of the fellow disciples turned into smiles—each of them had a black suit!
Sun Wukong was the first to put on the suit, looking upright and spirited.
Heixiong and Xiaobailong were slower, mainly because of their large size.
Bajie was purely because his belly was big and his fat was thick. But fortunately, they all had magic power, so these were all minor issues.
"I always feel like something is missing."
Bajie took out the black sunglasses Master had left behind and put them on; Sun Wukong, Heixiong, and Xiaobailong did the same.
On the mountain.
"Second Brother, why have you come?" A look of surprise appeared on Yang Chan's face.
"Humei has given birth to a child; can I not come?" Yang Jian said.
"Second Brother Yang," Humei called out crisply.
Wuge's face was awkward, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Back then, he had nearly caused Yang Jian's death several times, yet in the end, he was still saved by him.
Yang Jian saw Xuanzang, but did not greet him.
"Erlang True Monarch, long time no see," Xuanzang greeted him instead.
"It hasn't been long, just a year or so in the mortal world."
Yang Jian said coldly, looking at the child in Humei's arms, a soft smile appearing on his face as he said:
"What a cute child, does she have a name?"
"She is called Xiaoyu!" Humei said.
"Truly a good name, white jade without blemish, innocent and pure," Yang Jian praised.
"Second Brother, this name was chosen by Xuanzang Sheng Seng," Yang Chan said.
"..." Yang Jian.
"Xuanzang, if you are not going to seek the scriptures, what are you doing running to Wanku Mountain?
If I remember correctly, this Wanku Mountain is in the southeast, and Western Heaven is in the extreme west. Isn't your location a bit too far off?" Yang Jian asked.
"It's not much of a problem, Erlang True Monarch," Xuanzang said.
"It is a huge problem. Scripture Seeking to the Western Heaven is a great cause to save all living beings; how many souls are waiting for Mahayana Buddhism to help them pass through their tribulations? Xuanzang, how can you be so trifling?" Yang Jian reprimanded.
Xuanzang narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "Are you teaching me how to do things, Yang Jian?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Yang Chan hurriedly said:
"Second Brother, you have misunderstood Xuanzang Sheng Seng."
"Fight, hurry up and fight, hurry up and fight."
Wuge was somewhat excited, but he still controlled his emotions well so as not to reveal any flaws.
"Misunderstanding? I have never seen such an improper monk," Yang Jian said.
"Aren't you seeing one right now, Yang Jian?" Xuanzang retorted.
"Xuanzang Sheng Seng, Second Brother Yang, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth," Humei said while holding the child to persuade them.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
On the side, Xiaotian Dog was barking wildly at Xuanzang.
Seeing this, Xuanzang kicked Xiaotian Dog down the mountain with lightning speed.
