Chapter 2212: Woman

"How did you know about these things?"

Tang Sanzang turned to look at Sun Wukong, his gaze filled with suspicion.

"If I said a high-level expert pointed it out to me, would you believe it?"

Sun Wukong said while biting into a bun and eating vegetables.

"The problem now is the issue of Marshal Tianpeng's departure. Since the child cannot be born, and it cannot be killed with a knife—either way, it breaks the Buddhist precepts. Furthermore, the child is a life; doing so would be extremely inhumane."

Fahai swept a glance at the people at the table and said calmly.

"Tell me, Master, do you feel that Bajie is dispensable on this journey with you?"

Sun Wukong suddenly looked fixedly at Tang Sanzang and asked in return.

"I never said that. Just as he said, if he has no merit, he has at least suffered. Besides, Bajie's combat strength is still quite good."

Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wukong and answered very calmly.

"Oh, if you put it that way, then I think Master still has a bit of humanity."

Sun Wukong put his leg on the bench, chewed his bun, and said casually.

"How are you talking, Great Senior Brother? What do you mean by 'Master still has a bit of humanity'?"

"Master is compassionate; haven't you seen that along this journey?"

General Juan Lian was immediately displeased when he heard this and said.

"Old Sha, I'm talking to Master, is it your place to lecture me?"

Sun Wukong immediately glared at General Juan Lian and said.

"Wukong, I know you have much resentment in your heart, just like when you were pressed under Mount Wuzhi by the Buddha; you were also unconvinced."

"But this time with Bajie, we really cannot take him with us. He has broken the precepts. If we reach the Western Heaven like this, the Buddha will not accept us, and it will be because he does not accept us."

Tang Sanzang did not get angry; instead, he looked at Sun Wukong with a calm gaze and said.

Tang Sanzang's words left everyone silent. Although Sun Wukong didn't pay much attention to Buddhist teachings, he had been influenced by them to some extent. Sha Seng was a devout believer of Tang Sanzang, and Fahai was also well-versed in Buddhist teachings.

If a monk were to become pregnant and then give birth, that would certainly be breaking the precepts.

"Although Bajie loves to be lazy, is gluttonous, and has many flaws, whenever I have been in life-threatening danger, he has always stepped forward to save me."

"To be honest, if I really severed the master-disciple bond with him, I would also feel regret in my heart."

Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wukong and said very earnestly.

"Master's words are quite fair."

"How about we just forget it? Bajie himself is obsessed with the appearances of the mortal world. Since the Women's Kingdom is just ahead, let's just leave him here."

"It could be considered returning him to his original state; he should like it here very soon."

Sun Wukong frowned. Jokes aside, he was actually very concerned about Zhu Bajie.

Tang Sanzang remained silent. He still remembered when they left Gao Village, Zhu Bajie carrying his nine-toothed rake, looking back at Gao Village with a lingering, reluctant gaze.

"I don't think things have reached that point yet. Perhaps one day the water of the Fetal-Falling Spring will bubble up again."

"Perhaps there is another way. Once we enter the Xiliang Women's Kingdom, perhaps we will be able to find it."

Fahai swept a glance at the people at the table and said very earnestly.

"Master Fahai is right. I think we can only do this for now."

Tang Sanzang looked at Fahai and said.

Just as Tang Sanzang said this, the old woman carried a plate in her hand, walked to Tang Sanzang's side, and said with a smile, "Master from the Tang Dynasty, this is the sugar-coated rice cake I just fried. Please have a taste." ===== CHAPTER 2214 =====
