Chapter 285: Guanyin, Uncertain and Suspicious! Qiu Wanli Has Another Startling Proposal!
According to the original plan of Buddhism, after this monkey left Mount Huaguo and drifted with the sea currents, he should have headed all the way to Nanshan Buzhou, where he would learn human speech, learn to appreciate clothing, and learn to read and write, only then being able to set sail again for Xiniu Hezhou.
Upon reaching Xiniu Hezhou, the monkey would then be taken as a disciple by the Bodhi Patriarch, thereby embarking on the path of cultivation and ultimately becoming an important chess piece for Buddhism.
However, the monkey's current whereabouts have deviated due to the sudden appearance of Lu Yun, which has undoubtedly disrupted the layout of Buddhism.
The monk Hui Jue had a gloomy expression; knowing the gravity of the situation, he said in a deep voice, "Your actions, sir, are undoubtedly making an enemy of our Buddhism. I advise you to leave quickly and stop interfering in this matter, otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
Hearing this, a cold sneer curled the corners of Lu Yun's mouth. He looked at Hui Jue with deep eyes and spoke slowly, "Bear the consequences myself? Hmph, I would like to see what your Buddhism can do to me. Today, I am determined to stay here and see exactly what will become of this monkey."
As his words fell, the Immeasurable Divine Light on Lu Yun's body became even more brilliant. With a movement of his figure, he transformed into a stream of light and headed toward the monkey on the sea surface.
Seeing this, the two Buddhist monks' expressions changed drastically. Knowing they could not stop Lu Yun, they hurriedly crushed a Talisman to send a message to the higher-ups of Buddhism.
Afterward, they hurriedly chased after Lu Yun.
The people in the live broadcast room cheered when they saw this scene. They knew that Lu Yun was about to begin his performance, and the protagonist of this performance was none other than the monkey about to embark on the path of cultivation—Sun Wukong.
"Big Boss Lu Yun is going to protect the Great Sage!"
"Haha, it looks like the Great Sage's path of cultivation is going to start early!"
"Those bald donkeys of Buddhism, let's see if they dare to be arrogant anymore!"
"Look, they seem to have contacted Lingshan just now. What kind of person do you think Buddhism will send over?"
"I guess it's very likely to be Guanyin!"
"That's true, Rulai wouldn't just move easily, and Guanyin is the original executor of the Journey to the West plan, so she is the most suitable one to come!"
"I wonder how strong the Guanyin of this world is?"
At the same time, the monkey on the sea surface also saw the figure of Lu Yun in the sky. His eyes flashed with curiosity and excitement as he paddled the Bamboo Raft, quickly approaching Lu Yun.
In his view, Lu Yun must be a peerless expert.
But just before he could get close to Lu Yun, two more figures suddenly appeared in the sky, but these two figures were shrouded in golden light, and he could not see their appearances clearly.
These two were naturally Hui Jue and Hui Ming. They had even used some kind of forced-burst Supernatural Power to catch up to Lu Yun and intercept him.
In order not to affect the plan of Buddhism, they naturally could not reveal their true faces in front of the monkey, which led to the scene the monkey was seeing at this moment.
He saw Lu Yun and the two people seemingly saying something, but he could not hear their voices, so he could only scratch his ears and cheeks on the Bamboo Raft while looking up at the three figures in the sky.
At this time, the monk Hui Jue looked at Lu Yun and said sternly, "Sir, your actions have seriously interfered with the plan of our Buddhism. I will advise you one last time: leave quickly, otherwise, when our reinforcements arrive, you will likely find it difficult to end this."
Lu Yun chuckled, the Immeasurable Divine Light around his body becoming even more dazzling. He said proudly, "Buddhism's plan? If it were truly for the sake of all living beings, I would naturally retreat. But if it is merely for selfish gain, manipulating the fate of all beings, then I, Lu, am determined to go against the heavens!"
Both monks showed expressions of anger.
Hui Ming said directly, "Senior Brother, why waste words with him! Just take him down and send him to Lingshan to await judgment!"
Hui Jue also nodded.
The next moment, the two figures flickered and transformed into two streaks of golden light, pouncing fiercely toward Lu Yun. They pressed their palms together and chanted, and for a time, the heavens and earth seemed to be filled with Buddha light. The Buddhist Supernatural Power contained within that golden light was astonishing, and their combined strike actually reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
However, facing this astonishing strike, Lu Yun chuckled, his figure remaining as steady as a mountain. He merely flicked his sleeve gently, and the Immeasurable Divine Light transformed into a brilliant screen of light, easily dissolving the two monks' attacks into nothingness.
"Mere Taiyi Golden Immortals, and you dare to attack me?" Lu Yun curled his lips, his figure moving to transform into a stream of light, charging straight at the two monks.
Seeing this, the two monks' expressions changed drastically. They knew they could not withstand Lu Yun's attack, but as disciples of Buddhism, how could they easily retreat? Thus, they gritted their teeth and once again urged their Buddhist Supernatural Power, attempting to block Lu Yun's advance.
However, this time, Lu Yun did not give them another chance. He flashed and appeared behind the two monks, waving his hand gently to suppress them in the air, unable to move.
"Ding! Host followed advice, obtained: Ordinary Treasure Chest x1!"
The system's notification sound came to his mind, making Lu Yun smile slightly. However, because it was only an Ordinary Treasure Chest, he was not in a hurry to open it.
"You two just stay here and calm down!" Lu Yun snorted at the monks Hui Jue and Hui Ming, his gaze once again cast toward the monkey below.
The monkey had seen that scene just now, and his heart was already filled with excitement.
He never expected that he would be fortunate enough to witness such a high-level duel between Immortals just after leaving Mount Huaguo.
At this moment, he was kowtowing repeatedly, shouting loudly, "Greetings, Immortal Elder! Greetings, Immortal Elder!"
Although he was speaking in monkey language, the current Lu Yun could understand him perfectly.
He was about to descend toward the monkey's Bamboo Raft, but just then, a cold voice suddenly came.
"Stop!"
As the voice fell, the wind and clouds in the sky suddenly changed, and a majestic and ancient aura permeated the air, as if even the sea surface was trembling because of it.
The audience in the live broadcast room saw this scene and knew that the higher-ups of Buddhism had sensed the changes here, and a powerful figure was approaching rapidly.
Everyone became even more excited, their eyes fixed on the direction from which the voice came.
"It's here, it's here, the Buddhist expert has finally arrived!"
"I didn't expect them to come so quickly!"
"I wonder if Big Boss Lu Yun's avatar can handle it?"
"Don't worry, Big Boss Lu Yun never does anything he isn't sure of!"
Amidst the heated discussion, a figure slowly descended from the clouds, surrounded by an aura of both compassion and majesty; it was the Bodhisattva Guanyin.
However, after observing for a moment, Lu Yun discovered that this did not seem to be Guanyin's true body, but rather an avatar. It was likely a manifestation from some nearby Guanyin Zen Temple!
No wonder she arrived so quickly! And the moment Guanyin appeared, the monkey on the Bamboo Raft below suddenly went dark before his eyes and fainted, collapsing on the raft and quickly drifting away into the distance.
The two monks, Hui Jue and Hui Ming, who had just been suppressed by Lu Yun, also regained their ability to move. These were undoubtedly Guanyin's doing.
Hui Jue and Hui Ming hurriedly bowed to Guanyin: "Bodhisattva!"
"Amitabha!"
The Guanyin avatar returned the bow and said calmly to the two of them, "You two continue to protect that monkey as he heads to Nanshan Buzhou."
"Yes!"
Hui Jue and Hui Ming responded respectfully, and then both flew in the direction the monkey had left.
Lu Yun looked at the slowly descending Guanyin avatar, a smile of interest curling the corners of his mouth. He did not rush to act, but instead hovered quietly in the air, looking as if he were waiting for the other party to speak first.
In reality, he had opened the Transmigration Chat Group and posed a question to everyone in the live broadcast room.
Lu Yun: "Esteemed masters, how do you think I should deal with this incarnation of Guanyin?"
Inside the livestream room, everyone saw Lu Yun ask the question and began to discuss it heatedly.
"Haha, Master Lu Yun, this is Guanyin Bodhisattva! A master-level existence within Buddhism!"
"So what? She has kicked an iron plate this time!"
"Exactly, Master Lu Yun has never been afraid of anyone. Since this Guanyin incarnation has come, why not give her a show of force!"
"Yes, yes, yes, let her know that we are not to be trifled with!"
"A mere show of force isn't enough! Everyone, rack your brains and think, are there any special ways to deal with her?"
For a time, the discussion in the livestream room was heated.
The Guanyin incarnation was staring at Lu Yun at this moment, a flash of surprise in her eyes. She clearly had not expected that someone would dare to interfere with Buddhism's plans so blatantly.
She spoke slowly, her voice carrying a hint of majesty: "Does your Excellency know that everything you are doing is making an enemy of Buddhism?"
Lu Yun couldn't help but laugh and said: "Why, is it impossible to be an enemy of your Buddhism?"
Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed the Guanyin incarnation's eyes, but it was immediately suppressed by her. She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Excellency has a very big mouth. But do you know that everything you are doing will bring about unpredictable consequences?"
Lu Yun shrugged and said indifferently: "Consequences? I really don't know what consequences there could be!"
The Guanyin incarnation stared at Lu Yun, and after a moment of silence, she said slowly: "Since that is the case, then this poor monk will have to learn your Excellency's brilliant techniques."
Before a conclusion had been reached in the livestream room, the Guanyin incarnation had already made her move.
She was seen pressing her palms together, chanting words, and for a moment, the heavens and earth seemed to be filled with Buddha-light. That Buddha-light was several times more powerful than the joint attack of Hui Jue and Hui Ming earlier, as if it wanted to shroud this entire sea area and make all living things feel the majesty of Buddhism.
Seeing this, a look of appreciation flashed in Lu Yun's eyes. Although this Guanyin incarnation was only an avatar, her strength was truly not to be underestimated; she was much stronger than those Taiyi Golden Immortal monks.
"A good Buddhist Supernatural Power, but if you want to suppress me with this, I'm afraid it's not enough!"
Lu Yun chuckled, his figure unmoved, and with a light wave of his sleeve, the void in all directions shook violently.
"Crack!"
The Buddha-light that had originally shrouded the surroundings shattered all at once like glass and dissipated rapidly.
Seeing this, the Guanyin incarnation's expression changed slightly. She had not expected Lu Yun's strength to be so powerful that he could easily resist even her Buddhist Supernatural Power.
"Who exactly is your Excellency? Why do you want to be an enemy of my Buddhism?" the Guanyin incarnation asked in a deep voice, her tone carrying a hint of gravity.
Lu Yun smiled slightly and said: "Me? I am just a loose cultivator between heaven and earth; I just can't stand how overbearing your Buddhism is, so I decided to take a little action!"
The Guanyin incarnation's expression turned even colder, and she said indifferently: "Very well, since that is the case, this poor monk can only take you down first, and then everything will naturally be known!"
She could see that the person before her was only a Great Luo Golden Immortal. She did not believe that with just this bit of strength, the other party would dare to be an enemy of their Buddhism.
Therefore, she concluded that there must be some backer behind Lu Yun! Upon hearing this, a playful smile curled the corners of Lu Yun's mouth. He shook his head gently and said: "Take me down? Just with you, an incarnation of Guanyin? You are being too confident! Today, let me learn what is so remarkable about your so-called Buddhist Supernatural Power."
As his voice fell, Lu Yun moved, turning into a streak of light and charging straight at the Guanyin incarnation. He did not use any magic treasures or Supernatural Powers, but relied solely on his own Immeasurable Divine Light to clash head-on with the Guanyin incarnation.
Seeing this, the Guanyin incarnation did not retreat either. She pressed her palms together and chanted again, the Buddha-light becoming even more dazzling, as if it wanted to illuminate this sea area like the middle of the day.
The two figures collided in the air, and for a time, the Buddha-light and the Immeasurable Divine Light intertwined, as if they wanted to tear this heaven and earth apart. The waves on the sea surface surged violently because of this powerful force, as if they wanted to swallow everything.
In the distance, Hui Jue and Hui Ming, who were escorting the monkey, saw this astonishing scene from afar, and looks of shock and lingering fear could not help but appear on their faces.
"Terrifying! This person can actually clash head-on with the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva without falling behind!"
"Indeed! This strength is truly terrifying! It seems that we were able to survive because the other party showed mercy!"
"That may not be so! Perhaps the other party just didn't dare to kill us because they were wary of the strength of my Buddhism!"
"If that is the case, why is the other party now speaking so disrespectfully to Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
"Don't think so much about it. Our mission is just to escort this monkey; let's hurry further away so we don't get caught in the crossfire!"
After some discussion, Hui Jue and Hui Ming immediately urged their Supernatural Powers to protect the Bamboo Raft where the monkey was, and took him to accelerate toward the distant sea!
And while Lu Yun was controlling his avatar to fight the Guanyin incarnation with great interest, he suddenly heard a system prompt: "Ding! Received suggestion: Sell the Guanyin incarnation! Reward: Fine Treasure Chest x1!"
Hearing this prompt, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
There was no doubt that this was triggered by someone in the livestream room giving him a suggestion while he was fighting.
"Who is such a genius to have come up with such an idea?"
He hurriedly distracted himself to check the barrage in the livestream room, only to discover that the person who made this suggestion was none other than Qiu Wanli, who always played by his own rules! (End of chapter)
