In the West Tianling Mountain, the huge Leiyin Temple stands tall and majestic, filling the air with endless solemnity.
Suddenly, Venerable Ananda quickly walked in from outside and walked towards Tathagata who was sitting on the lotus platform in the middle.
"Report to the Buddha, the golden head outside reveals the truth and seeks to see him!"
"Oh? Isn't he responsible for secretly guarding the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi? Why is he back?"
Tathagata frowned and then said: "Let him come in."
Ananda nodded, and a moment later the slightly embarrassed golden-headed Jiedi strode in and bowed to Tathagata.
"Golden Head Revealed the Truth, why did you come back?" Tathagata asked calmly on the stage.
"Go back to Buddha, I'm here to complain." Jin Toujie said.
With a strange look in his eyes, Tathagata wondered: "Complain?"
"Exactly, Buddha, Sun Wukong, that monkey, colluded with the monsters, and the fourth-level meritorious men from Heaven did not help me get rid of the demons."
Jintou revealed the truth and told Tathagata one by one what happened in Skull Mountain.
After listening, Tathagata was silent for a while and looked down at the Bodhisattvas and Arhats.
"What do you think about this matter?"
"Wukong has a golden hoop around him, so he can't betray him."
Guanyin below spoke, eyes flashing slightly.
She saw Sun Wukong put that golden hoop on his head with her own eyes, and she also saw Tang Sanzang try it on the effect.
Without the loose hoop curse, if you want to lift the golden hoop, you have to take action from a saint in this world.
"Does the Bodhisattva suspect that I am lying? Lord Buddha, I am absolutely telling no lies. Sun Wukong and the female demon were very close to each other. When I left, they had already left together."
The golden-headed Jiedi glared at Guanyin dissatisfied and argued loudly.
Tathagata nodded, raised his hand to signal the golden-headed monk to be quiet, and powerful spiritual consciousness swept out.
After a moment, Ru came to his senses and frowned.
"It's strange. The monkey head is really gone. There is no trace of him in the Three Realms."
"There is no trace of Wukong in the three realms?"
Guanyin was dumbfounded. Could it be that the banshee was not a white-bone spirit, but was transformed into a saint and took Wukong away?
With Tathagata's strength, except for a few places in the Three Realms, nothing can escape his consciousness.
At this moment, Tathagata on the stage spoke again: "Although I didn't find the monkey, I found a wooden house in Skull Mountain. How could there be anyone living there?"
Mountain spirits and wild monsters usually live in caves. Occasionally, there are monsters who will live in attics.
But I have never seen a wooden house like this.
"Golden Head Reveals the Truth, do you know what's going on?"
Guanyin looked at the golden-headed monk, his brows furrowed.
The golden head shook his head and said, "I don't know. Could it be that the banshee built it?"
"Just go and take a look and you'll find out. You said that the banshee is getting stronger with each battle. I've become interested. Guanyin, go and catch her."
On the stage, Tathagata interrupted the two of them and gave instructions to Guanyin.
Guanyin nodded, took her boy Muzha, and headed east with Jintou Jiedi.
In the bookstore, Sun Wukong, who had finished reading the last chapter of Dark Journey to the West, slowly closed the book with a complex expression on his face.
"Kongkong, do you already know? I didn't lie to you!"
Throwing down the Legend of the Eagle, Bai Pinpin came over excitedly and looked at Sun Wukong happily.
Nodding slightly, Sun Wukong looked at Yang Xiao: "Shopkeeper, is the book true?"
Sun Wukong is still sober and does not directly take the things in the book as true like Bai Pinpin.
"If you think it is true, then it is true. If you think it is false, then it is false. Who can tell the difference between true and false!"
Looking at Sun Wukong with a smile, Yang Xiao pretended to be enigmatic and said something mysterious.
Ghosts know whether they are real or fake. They are all novels and movies from previous lives. How does this shop owner know?
“If it feels true, does it mean it’s true?”
The dumbfounded Sun Wukong looked at Yang Xiao blankly. The shopkeeper's words were very mysterious.
As expected of the owner of this magical bookstore, one cannot judge his ability based on his level of cultivation.
Sun Wukong lamented that a bookstore that made him, Taiyi, unable to use his magic power, could not be ordinary.
"It doesn't matter if it's true or not. You just need to know that you should cherish those who are good to you. The only one who wants to use you as a pawn is him. Your fate is not up to you, not to God, nor to anyone else."
Yang Xiao continued to fool around. Monkey was the first link in his journey to the west, so there was no room for error.
Listening to Yang Xiao's words, Sun Wukong's dull eyes gradually revealed a dazzling light.
Who treats me well, cherishes it, and uses me as a pawn, other than him?
That's good, that's great. How can I, the Monkey King, be at the mercy of others?
My destiny is determined by me and not by God. If anyone dares to stop me, I will get rid of him.
At this moment, Sun Wukong's thoughts were extremely clear, and he seemed to see a bright and bright road.
From now on, this is the direction he will pursue, to be manipulated by Buddhism to learn Buddhist scriptures, screw it, stop doing that.
"Monkey, don't get excited. With your current strength, it's not enough, so the next step is the second step. Come on, read the book first."
Taking the Dark Journey to the West from Sun Wukong's hand, Yang Xiao stuffed another book over it.
Not every book can help you understand something, you need to look at the opportunity.
The book Yang Xiao chose for Sun Wukong was the one he thought was most likely to make Sun Wukong understand something.
"Dragon Stone? What a strange title!"
After taking the book Yang Xiao gave him, Sun Wukong looked confused.
But since it was recommended by the shop owner, I figured it would be right, so I opened it out of curiosity.
"There is an ancient legend that you cannot go out on a full moon night, because on this day, terrifying monsters will appear in the world and destroy everything."
"Wukong lived in the mountains far away from the city, practicing martial arts and hunting. He originally had a grandfather who loved him, but on a full moon night, he died tragically at the hands of a terrifying monster."
"After that, Wukong was the only one left. Thanks to his martial arts, he didn't starve to death. On this day, Wukong went out hunting as usual. After searching for a long time, he finally found a hare..."
Sun Wukong read it with relish. After reading a few chapters, he finally understood why the book was called Dragon Stone.
It turns out that there is a treasure called Dragon Stone in the book. As long as twelve stones are collected, the dragon can be summoned and three wishes can be granted.
"It's fun. It would be great if there were dragon stones in the Three Realms. I, Sun, would like to collect a set of them."
Unconsciously, Sun Wukong has been immersed in the world in the book.
The protagonist in the book, Wu Kong, follows a girl named Bu'er on the road to find the Dragon Stone.
The two searched all the way, and after a lot of hard work, they finally found a dragon stone, but they met someone who came to snatch it.
"You shameless people, if you don't look for it yourself, as soon as Wukong is found, you will come and rob him!"
When he saw the scene, Sun Wu screamed in anger, and Yang Xiao was extremely speechless.
Isn't it just this novel? Is it so good?
It’s not like the shop owner hasn’t seen it before, it seems like it’s nothing!
"Oh, it turns out that the monster that appeared under the full moon was transformed by Wu Kong, so wouldn't his grandpa be the same?"
Seeing Wukong transforming into madness on a full moon night, Sun Wukong exclaimed as if he suddenly realized something.
Sun Wukong, immersed in the world in the book, completely forgot everything outside.
In the sky, an auspicious cloud floated from the west and landed in front of the bookstore, revealing Guanyin and others inside.
"Sure enough, there is such a wooden house. Was it built by that banshee?"
Guanyin's eyes flashed slightly, and she landed in front of the door. Muzha took a step forward and slammed the door.
