Chapter 267: I insist on only being myself in a game of rotten chess

Guanjiangkou, Erlang Zhenjun Mansion.

Rulai's figure had already disappeared from here, what kind of trade he reached with Tang An, and what kind of plan he had, besides the five of them, should only be known by heaven and earth.

Of course, heaven and earth included which Saints, no one knew.

The only thing Tang An was sure of was that Zhun Ti and Jieyin didn't know this plan, and that was enough.

After all, they were unable to protect themselves now, even the Eight Treasures Merit Pond and the Six Soul Banner had fallen into Tongtian Jiaozhu's hands.

Plus Zhun Ti's Seven Treasure Tree and Six Roots of Purity Bamboo, this time their losses were more than just the word miserable.

"Master, then next, should we continue to go back and seek scriptures?" Sun Wukong asked.

Tang An lay leisurely on the rocking chair, eating mung bean cakes in one hand and fanning herself with the other.

It wasn't that hot, but she just wanted to fan.

She even wanted to change the fan to a feather one, to set off her wisdom and style.

"This time it's not them wanting to complete the Journey to the West Calamity, it's us wanting to complete the Journey to the West Calamity."

"Just heard Rulai say, the Lion Camel Ridge tribulation, because the Dragon Transformation Pool disappeared, was moved by the two Saints to the foot of Lingshan."

"So our last tribulation became hitting three small bosses."

"It's okay, hitting who isn't hitting, when isn't hitting."

Tang An flipped through the Journey to the West Calamity Book, which had already recorded every tribulation of their master and disciples seeking scriptures.

Especially recording which monster was in each tribulation, the monster's background and past.

"Since Lion Camel Ridge is moved back, then what is pushed in front of us now is the Xiao'er City."

Tang An got up from the rocking chair, pointing her finger at the Xiao'er City marked on the map on the tea table.

"This tribulation, I want to play some new tricks."

Sun Wukong, hearing her say new tricks, couldn't help but be eager to try. Because Tang An could always come up with some novel things, novel ideas, unheard of, very fresh and fun.

"But before that, you guys have to accompany me to find someone. Only after settling this matter can we continue seeking scriptures."

Yang Jian put down his teacup, "Who does Master want to find?"

Tang An's mouth curled into a wicked smile, "Buddha Mother, Great Bright King Bodhisattva."

"He has another name, called, Kong Xuan."

No one knew Tang An's plan, because only Tang An had read the script and knew the general plot.

The person they were looking for now directly determined the final result of Tang An's last plot against Rulai.

Yang Jian smiled lightly, "Why does Master look for him? Is it because you have another plan?"

He didn't know what Tang An wanted to do, but he understood Tang An, she would never trade with Rulai for no reason.

This trade they all followed and listened to together, it seemed like when they were making a scene in Lingshan just now, Tang An did it to rightfully take back the people and things of the Jie Sect.

But Yang Jian knew, what Tang An sought would never be that simple.

Not pitting Lingshan to the bottom, or completely replacing Rulai, or causing some unimaginable serious situation, then it wouldn't be Tang An.

Yang Jian asked directly because he didn't want such a heavy burden to be carried by Tang An alone.

Four people carrying it together is always better than her carrying it alone. If her little shoulders were crushed, that wouldn't be good.

"Yes, yes." Sun Wukong also understood Yang Jian's meaning, "Master, tell us quickly."

Tang An looked at Yang Jian, then at Sun Wukong. These two, one is smarter than the other.

She looked at Nezha again, but found Nezha seemed to be daydreaming.

Tsk, sure enough, still a child's nature, feeling that listening to these would be boring.

Nezha seemed to notice Tang An's gaze, looked at her, and then pondered even deeper.

Tang An didn't care about him, whatever the child loves to ponder, let him ponder. "Let's go, let's talk while we're on the road."

Now Tang An had already obtained a new magic treasure from Tongtian Jiaozhu, refined by Taishang Laojun. As long as the master and disciples each wore a jade pendant, they could communicate with each other without using magic power.

In other words, it was the common communication channel for the four of them.

Even Saints couldn't detect it.

As for whether the Heavenly Dao could detect it, Tang An didn't know, but it didn't matter. Anyway, she had already muddied the water, and it was time to do what she wanted to do.

On the way to Kong Xuan's dojo.

Tang An rode Jiuyue, and the three of them followed together on clouds.

Sun Wukong's inner voice: "Take the Black Lotus? What is the Black Lotus?"

Yang Jian's inner voice: "Black Lotus? Could this be the most critical thing for Master's trade with Rulai?"

Tang An raised her eyebrows, her expression looking very wicked. "Rulai didn't have the opportunity to become a Saint, not knowing that becoming a Saint is far harder than he thought."

"Trading with the Heavenly Dao for a Saint, do you think Saints are wholesale?"

"And I didn't say he would definitely succeed. It was he who assumed that plan was feasible, it was he who felt he could succeed."

Tang An pondered for a moment and said: "But I think, Rulai shouldn't be easily trusting me, but believing in himself."

"He has managed Lingshan for so many years, his ambition has long since expanded. Besides the trade with me, he should have some other backup plan."

"It was precisely because of that backup plan that he was willing to trade with me, borrowing my hand to push him to become a Saint."

"But it doesn't matter. He uses his brain, I use my brain."

"Who wins and who loses in the end, who knows until the last moment."

"Anyway, since the Heavenly Dao doesn't allow it, no one can become a Saint."

"This game in the end, at worst, can also improve Rulai's strength. Since it can improve his strength, why can't it be changed to improving the strength of you three."

In other words, she is now inciting Lingshan infighting, fooling Rulai, just to sit back and reap the benefits in the end.

But the benefits she seeks are not for her. But for Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha.

"Tsk, is Master reliable, are you guys conquered by my charm?"

There, she's being smug again.

Nezha listened to Tang An say a lot, feeling there were too many twists and turns, his heart pulse was about to knot.

Hearing the back, he simply gave up, still letting him kill people was more satisfying.

Sun Wukong and Yang Jian looked at each other, they caught the most critical point.

How did Tang An know the conditions and difficulty of becoming a Saint?

"Master, you..." Yang Jian wanted to ask, but didn't know whether he should ask.

Tang An knew what Yang Jian wanted to ask, she didn't answer directly, but gave an answer.

"They want Western Buddhism to flourish, and also want to intercept Eastern luck. From ancient times to now, it's not that there is no retribution, it's that I, Tang An, haven't arrived."

"The Heavenly Dao wants the Western Sect to flourish, I insist on driving the great tribulation, letting them have the life to take merit, but no life to spend it."

"Everyone wants to use me as a chess piece, everyone wants to change me. And I, Tang An, insist on only being myself in a game of rotten chess."

Yang Jian was said to be boiling with blood by Tang An, spiritedly saying: "Good, good 'insist on only being myself in a game of rotten chess'!"

"Then we, will accompany you in this chaotic game, and kill a world!" ===== CHAPTER 268 =====

"Then we will accompany you in this chaotic situation of yours to carve out a world of our own!"
