Chapter 1454: A Wavering Mind

However, Sun Wukong, hearing the Kunlun Wang Mu's words,

looked at his master Tang Seng's expression.

He secretly thought, "This is bad!"

Sun Wukong naturally saw that his master Tang Seng was now tempted.

As a friend of General Juan Lian, how could Sun Wukong just watch his friend

lose this opportunity to journey west?

Thus, just as Tang Seng was about to speak,

Sun Wukong stood out and said:

"Master, you told me,"

"that the journey west is a test of one's heart. Now that you've encountered this small difficulty, you want to retreat?"

"If you encounter a life-threatening crisis in the future, what will you do then, Master?"

"Besides, as a master, you should set an example for us disciples."

"Isn't that right, Bajie?"

Sun Wukong, worried he couldn't persuade Tang Seng alone, pulled Marshal Tianpeng into the same camp.

Marshal Tianpeng, although very much looking forward to having Chang'e accompany them on their journey,

was not willing if it meant abandoning his good friend, General Juan Lian.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Marshal Tianpeng echoed his senior brother, Sun Wukong.

"Exactly! Exactly!"

"Master, you wouldn't want us disciples to follow your example, would you?"

Hearing the words of his disciples Sun Wukong and Marshal Tianpeng,

Tang Seng, who had been somewhat wavering, stabilized his mind.

"Amitabha, Wukong, Bajie, you two are right."

"If I try to avoid this small difficulty, what will I do when I encounter a great one later?"

"Besides, as your master, if I cannot set a good example now,"

"how can I teach you in the future?"

Tang Seng first agreed with his disciples Sun Wukong and Marshal Tianpeng, then turned to look at the Kunlun Wang Mu.

"Well said! Kunlun Wang Mu, I accept your good intentions."

"However, I am a monk, and I must follow the Eight Precepts of the Fomen."

"One of them is to abstain from lust, so I can only refuse your offer."

"Moreover, the journey to the Western Lingshan is full of difficulties."

"If I try to avoid it because of this small matter, what will I do when I encounter big trouble?"

"If I rely on avoiding various tribulations throughout the journey west,"

"then how will I face the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Western Lingshan?"

"How can I preach my Mahayana Buddhism in front of them?"

Tang Seng had now firmed his resolve.

Facing the Flowing Sand River, the current difficulties, and the difficulties to come,

Tang Seng decided that he would not avoid them but would instead use these tribulations to temper his Buddha-nature.

The Kunlun Wang Mu's expression turned ugly upon hearing Tang Seng's words. ===== CHAPTER 1456 =====

Tang Seng had already decided that he would no longer hide from here on out; instead, he would utilize these tribulations to temper his own Buddha-nature.

Upon hearing Tang Seng's words, Wang Mu of Mount Kunlun's expression also became somewhat unpleasant.
