Chapter 143

~8 min read 1,465 words

Even if the Six-Eared Macaque could know the past and future, so what? Even if the Six-Eared Macaque learned to be identical, so what?

People always have the most subconscious and real reactions; as long as the stimulus is strong enough, one stimulus is all it takes.

Hiss~ Wukong's gaze was almost sharp enough to kill the Six-Eared Macaque.

"It's okay, it's okay." Tang An reached out and patted Sun Wukong.

The Six-Eared Macaque realized he had been played by Tang An, and without waiting for Tang An to make another move, he immediately began chanting, and suddenly, yellow sand filled the sky.

Tang An's eyes were blinded, and she was blown back a few steps by the wind.

And it was precisely when she was retreating that a palm suddenly appeared behind her, striking straight at Tang An.

"Dare to touch her, you have already paved your own way to death."

Nezha pushed out with a soft force, sending Tang An forward, while offering up his Fire-Tipped Spear with the other hand, stabbing straight toward the fake Nezha's neck.

The fake Nezha's expression was terrified, "Your spear..."

Tang An shrugged innocently and said: "Niu Niu has already learned his lesson, but you haven't; should I be blamed for that?"

"How is it? Is it fun?"

The fake Nezha almost had a heart attack, realizing that he had been seen through by Tang An from the very beginning. And before he even appeared, their plan against him had already begun!

Which meant...

"You have long since..."

Yet Nezha didn't give him a chance to speak, directly offering up his Universe Ring and Golden Brick, smashing them toward him.

The original fake Nezha had magic treasures on him, no matter what. But after being tricked by Tang An, the magic treasures on him were few and far between.

"You guys fight, fight well." Tang An showed off her Diamond Bracelet, indicating she wouldn't mind if the fake Nezha sent over a few more magic treasures.

!!!

"I **!"

Before he could finish cursing, he was hit by Nezha's Golden Brick, his body flying out like an arrow from a bow.

"Once dead, your mouth can finally be shut for good." Nezha threw out his Fire-Tipped Spear, carrying the raging Samadhi True Fire, and rushed toward the fake Nezha again.

Tang An wasn't worried about Nezha's safety, because with all those magic treasures Nezha had, throwing them out one by one would be enough to smash the opponent into a state of helplessness.

"As for you three, I say you..."

After the smoke and dust cleared, Tang An discovered that only one Sun Wukong remained before her.

And this one was clearly not the real Sun Wukong.

"Where are the other two?"

"Don't know; just now one of them said he was going to find the Jade Emperor to judge the real from the fake, and then they disappeared." As he finished speaking, the Sun Wukong before her turned into the Green Lion Spirit.

Yes, the third Sun Wukong was played by the Green Lion Spirit, whom Tang An had found, and she had long since begun preparing for this play.

Originally, it was to confuse the situation and play with the Buddhas of the Western Heaven. But now it seemed the plan had to change.

"Is this an obsession with following the original plot? Do we still have to toss about in heaven and on earth?" Tang An looked toward the sky, a faint ominous premonition in her heart.

At the same time, at the location of the Western Heaven Buddhas.

"Green Lion Spirit!!!"

When they saw the Green Lion Spirit appear, and still on Tang An's side, they all looked at Wenshu.

Wenshu also felt very awkward; how did he suddenly transform from a spectator into a target of public criticism?

"I..."

"That wicked beast was already subdued by the Destined One and is no longer this poor monk's mount."

"That poor monk's dojo was emptied out by the Green Lion Spirit at the instigation of the Destined One; Buddha, please make the decision for this poor monk."

The Buddha nodded, and the Buddhas continued to watch with skeptical attitudes.

Puxian only then realized in hindsight: "Could it be that the Destined One knew our plan in advance?"

"Otherwise, how could she have arranged the Green Lion Spirit as a chess piece in advance, and how could she have taken the Diamond Bracelet to trick the fake Nezha out of his magic treasures?"

Which meant that someone among them had leaked the news to the Destined One in advance!

And the person who was once again the focus of the Buddhas' gaze was Wenshu Pusa.

Wenshu was speechless, feeling the helplessness of having suffered a great loss, being openly wronged, and being unable to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"No, if it were this poor monk, would this poor monk do it so obviously?"

"In order to pass a message to a Destined One, this poor monk gave away his own dojo and mount? And let her reveal the Green Lion Spirit's true form at such a critical moment, pointing out this poor monk's identity?"

Who would believe that if it were said out loud! Could there be anyone more wronged than that?

Puxian looked at Wenshu, then at the familiar way Tang An and the Green Lion Spirit interacted.

"This situation seems like you suffered heavy losses, but often the most dangerous is the safest."

"The more suspicious you look, the more likely you are to be the first one excluded, isn't that right?"

"I ****" Wenshu couldn't help it and directly exploded with profanity. "You are truly smart, aren't you? You just have to show that you are the smartest!"

"Amituofo, forcing a monk like me to say dirty words, Amituofo, Amituofo, Buddha, please do not blame me, do not blame me."

Rulai Fozu seemed not to care about their dispute at all, but waved his hand again to see where Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque had gone.

The two went to the Heavenly Court, saw that the Heavenly Court was in a mess, and then entered the Underworld to find Ksitigarbha.

Ksitigarbha couldn't distinguish the real from the fake, so he pointed them to find Rulai Fozu.

Guanyin was hidden among them, always carefully observing the Buddha's attitude.

His gaze, or rather what he cared about most, seemed to always be the matter on Sun Wukong's side.

As if seeing the Six-Eared Macaque wanting to drag Sun Wukong to Lingshan, Rulai Fozu's smile deepened.

Not right! Even the three of them, the great Bodhisattvas, didn't understand all of Rulai's calculations in this situation!

Guanyin Pusa's heart beat like a drum; she was hesitating, hesitating about which side she should stand on this time.

Just as Tang An said, those who know the times are heroes; every choice she made was closely related to her own interests.

"Guanyin Pusa!"

Suddenly, Tang An began shouting toward the sky.

"Why don't you come down and give an explanation? How many tribulations does this count as?"

Guanyin looked at Rulai, as if asking for Rulai's meaning.

Rulai waved his hand, signaling Guanyin to go. "Three tribulations."

"Yes."

Guanyin Pusa received the Buddha's decree and naturally came to the mortal world as a matter of course.

When she arrived, Tang An was sitting next to Jiuyue, leaning against her and playing with Jiuyue's tail.

"The Bodhisattva is here?"

"My disciples have all been sent away; why don't you come and protect my personal safety?"

"Am I really going to die? Will a fake me appear in a while and kill me?"

"The Journey to the West Calamity is a task for your Western Heaven; you can't be so unrighteous in your actions, can you?"

Tang An looked left and right, always feeling that danger was lurking everywhere, and was so scared that she burrowed behind Guanyin Pusa, pulling on her clothes and shivering.

"Amituofo."

Guanyin smiled brightly, "If this tribulation is passed, it can count as three tribulations for you."

"Three tribulations? No, my little life is barely safe; you have to add two more tribulations."

"Amituofo, this matter is not something this poor monk can decide." Guanyin Pusa smiled, nodded, and bowed, "Since the message has been delivered, this poor monk will take her leave."

Saying this, Guanyin rode the clouds and left.

Tang An jumped up to grab her, "Hey, don't go; my safety problem hasn't been solved yet, don't go!"

Seeing that Guanyin had no intention of staying, Tang An sighed and took a Ginseng Fruit out of her Universe Bag to calm her nerves.

"Jiuyue, how about we go to my Master's place to take refuge?"
