Chapter 89: Although they are very miserable, it feels very satisfying to watch
On the shaded path.
Tang An lay back on Jiuyue's fox tail, a piece of dog-tail grass in her mouth; that look was clearly her pondering something.
Suddenly, she sat up abruptly and slapped her thigh.
"Oh no!"
Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha were all startled, thinking monsters had come.
Yang Jian observed the surroundings; there were no monsters. "What's wrong?"
Tang An looked at the three of them, anxious and slapping her legs. "When we finally left, we didn't even figure out if Red Boy's father was really the Bull Demon King, did we?"
"..."
Silence was the Cambridge of tonight.
Speechlessness sometimes represents a kind of mother tongue.
They had walked this far, and she suddenly pondered this question?
However, Sun Wukong really answered Tang An. "Master, you don't know, I, old Sun, really asked Big Brother about this."
"It is said that the year Sister-in-law was pregnant was just before I, old Sun, caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, when I was locked in the alchemy furnace."
"I can't tell if it's the entanglement of causality, or heavenly punishment, or good fortune. It just so happened that the Eight Trigrams Furnace I kicked over landed at the place where she originally lived, evolving into the Flame Mountain."
"Sister-in-law was infected with fire poison because of this and was almost on the verge of death. It was the child in her belly, my nephew Red Boy, who absorbed the fire poison from her body."
"This is the origin of why he was born able to spew Samadhi True Fire."
"Laojun was stained with causality, so he sent the Banana Leaf Fan that could resolve the Samadhi True Fire of the Flame Mountain to my sister-in-law, which was considered a way to resolve the causality."
"Sigh~ Their family was eventually implicated by me, old Sun."
Tang An pondered for a moment and looked at Yang Jian.
Yang Jian sighed deeply. "Actually..."
"Actually, you were just a cover, just a trigger being used." Tang An was not a celestial of the Heavenly Realm, nor was she the Judicial God, so she didn't need to hide anything she wanted to say.
"The Heavenly Court at that time should have wanted to take in the Iron Fan Princess and her son to check the Bull Demon King."
"But they were stained with Laojun's causality, so Laojun took action personally. Plus, the West followed closely and intervened, so the Heavenly Court had to give up."
Sure enough, everyone wanted to hold the sharp knife in their hands. Whether it was the Heavenly Court or Lingshan, they were all plotting against the Bull Demon King.
It was just that with the Journey to the West Calamity rising, Sun Wukong became the trigger for all of this. He was also the one who truly took the blame.
"Wukong, you don't need to blame yourself. Aren't their family resolving the current predicament because of you now?"
"Although it hasn't been completely resolved, at least Red Boy doesn't have to be controlled by Lingshan in the future."
Sun Wukong smiled "hehe." "Speaking of which, I have to rely on Master's help."
"Sigh~" Tang An waved her hand. "Causality is too deep. I have shallow knowledge and can't see the causes, so I can only try my best to rewrite the results."
"Of course, I can't predict what will happen in the future."
"But I think that in life, having too many worries will only make you trapped by them."
"It's better to eat when you should, drink when you should, cry when you should, and laugh when you should."
"It is precisely because no one can fully predict the future that I think we should live in the present, live out ourselves, and live freely."
Tang An pillowed her arms and looked at the sky. She knew that she was like an ant in front of the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
But even ants try to survive; ants also have their own way of living.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Although ants are small, they can also collapse a thousand-mile dike.
"Eh?"
Tang An saw that the three of them didn't respond, turned to look at them, and saw they were all sizing her up.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Tang An sat up.
Sun Wukong waved his hand. "What Master said is truly enlightening to me, old Sun, enlightening."
"Thinking back to before I caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, I was also like what Master said, following my heart."
"Thinking back on those days now, I, old Sun, feel so free."
Yang Jian looked at Tang An and Sun Wukong, envy flowing in his eyes.
Because the free days he had lived were only those few years when he was a child.
Later... later, he actually had no choice and was always being pushed forward.
"Actually, being an ordinary mortal, healthy for a lifetime, with children and grandchildren, living a life that is better than some but worse than others, is already extremely lucky."
If he could choose, he would rather Erlang just be an ordinary teenager on Taoshan back then.
If he could use the position of Judicial God and his cultivation to exchange for his parents and eldest brother to live, he wouldn't hesitate at all.
Nezha also had feelings, but he didn't have so many flowery words.
"I think you're right."
Tang An couldn't help but laugh at Nezha's words; he was also good at summarizing, simple and clear.
Thinking of this, Tang An looked at Yang Jian again.
If Lingshan didn't lie to him, if Lingshan really had the remnant soul of Yaoji, maybe in the future, she could help Yang Jian and let him reunite with his mother as he wished.
But nothing was certain, and Tang An didn't want to let Yang Jian hold empty hope. If it didn't work out in the end, the more hope he had, the more disappointed he would be.
So Tang An just thought about it and didn't say it clearly to Yang Jian.
A few days later, Chechi Kingdom.
The three of them entered Chechi Kingdom and, according to the additional terms of the contract, came to the temple to stay as usual.
But the temples here were torn down or dilapidated; there really wasn't a place to stay.
It really was...
"Beautifully done!"
Although she didn't have a proper place to stay, seeing Buddhism bullied to this extent made her feel incomparably happy.
"Let's go, let's stay here today."
Tang An and her four master and disciples found a dilapidated temple. After entering, the interior was very desolate.
Jiuyue's nine tails fanned, and she immediately cleared a clean space, curled up there, waiting for Tang An to rest.
"Amituofo."
No need to think, it was the Bodhisattva coming to urge progress again.
"Destined One, don't forget what was said before, save those monks from the sea of suffering."
"Understood, Bodhisattva. Is there any other instruction, Bodhisattva?" Tang An's standard fake smile made Guanyin Bodhisattva unable to say the nagging words that were on her lips.
You say her attitude is bad, but she is smiling.
You say her attitude is good, but that smile is full of perfunctoriness, impatience, and fakeness.
"Bodhisattva, don't worry, I will definitely save them from the sea of suffering. I, Tang An, handle things; you can rest assured."
Rest assured?
Guanyin Bodhisattva always felt her eyelids twitching, and a bad premonition lingered in her heart.
"You... how have you been so cooperative lately?"
Tang An rolled up her sleeves. "Bodhisattva, if you say that..."
"Stop!" Guanyin Bodhisattva shouted to stop in time. "Amituofo, please just remember what was said."
After speaking, she slipped away immediately, as if afraid that if she were slow, Tang An's rebellious attribute would come out and she would say something that would make her blood pressure soar again.
"Gone." Yang Jian withdrew his Heavenly Eye and set up an array daily to prevent prying eyes.
"Good." Tang An patted her butt and stood up from the big rock. "Then we'll have to trouble our Judicial God to summon the Night-Wandering God." ===== CHAPTER 90 =====
