Boom!
The weak water mixed with countless ghost figures surged up and down on the river surface, making a roar like thunder.
As Sha Monk finished speaking, the entire Liusha River water area instantly became extremely manic!
Seeing this strange thing, a trace of gloom appeared in Tang Sanzang's eyes.
But he didn't make any unnecessary moves. He just gave Sha Seng a look and signaled him to continue talking.
"Actually, I, the Heavenly Curtain General, am a close confidant serving the Jade Emperor."
"But as a god, my heart is devoted to Buddhism. I believe that all living things should be equal, and there should be no more suffering and war in the three realms. Five hundred years ago, I was enlightened by Master Guanyin and gave me the Dharma name Sha Wujing!"
In the stormy sea, Sha Seng talked about his true identity and revealed his past.
"But although the Jade Emperor claims on the surface that the gods and Buddhas belong to the same family, he never tolerates Buddhism in his heart!"
"After learning that I had converted to my Buddha, the Jade Emperor was furious. On the grounds that I accidentally broke the glass lamp at the Peach Festival, he knocked me down to the mortal world and demoted me into the damn quicksand river! And I was pierced by seven swords all day long. The only way to alleviate one's suffering is to draw in the vitality and blood of mortals!"
"In order to relieve the pain of the Seven Swords piercing my heart, I have killed all living beings in Liusha Kingdom and all living creatures in the past five hundred years, and committed heinous crimes..."
When talking about this past, Sha Seng's eyes were full of confusion.
His words seemed like repentance and remorse for his past, but his overwhelming hatred looked more like crocodile tears.
"In order to get rid of my own misfortune, I actually killed all living beings in the country! As the Demon King, I, the old grandson, are not as cruel and bloodthirsty as you!"
"Those gods in the sky who claim to be virtuous and highly respected are really not good at all!"
After hearing Sha Seng's confession, Sun Wukong spat hard.
Zhu Bajie on the side looked at him a little aggrievedly, because the senior brother's words also scolded him.
In response to this, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but take a breath.
He originally thought that the previous yellow wind monster openly stole the country in the name of Bodhisattva, which was a heinous crime.
Compared with Sha Wujing, that guy can be regarded as the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva!
After all, the horrifying thing of one person massacring an entire country is something that is rarely seen throughout the ages.
"Then can you tell me, what is the purpose of what you have told me so much?"
Later, Tang Sanzang asked Sha Seng, with a hint of murderous intent in his voice.
Although he knew that he was the fourth disciple appointed by the Bodhisattva, committing such a heinous crime was really unacceptable in heaven and earth!
If he accepted him as his disciple as if nothing had happened, how could he explain himself to the people of Liusha Kingdom?
Rather than staying with him and harboring grudges, it would be better to simply pretend that there is no such disciple and kill him a hundred times!
"I hope the holy monk will forgive me. I had no ill intentions towards you, but the disaster of seven swords piercing my heart has plunged me into a sea of misery from which I cannot extricate myself!"
At this time, Sha Monk picked up the string of skull beads on his chest.
After taking the Buddhist beads, the nine skulls immediately emitted a faint Buddha glow, and a faint Sanskrit sound also resounded from the mouths of the skeletons, solemn and terrifying.
"The Jade Emperor told me that if I want to completely get rid of the suffering of the seven swords piercing my heart, I can only draw the blood of the saints. And the so-called saints refer to the pilgrims who come from the east and go to the Lingshan Mountain in the west!"
"As long as ten Buddhist monks are killed, the seven swords piercing the heart will be easily solved, and I will be able to escape from the sea of suffering, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately!"
"In the past five hundred years, I have killed nine generations of pilgrims and made their heads into this string of prayer beads!"
"Now, the head on this string of beads is still missing the last one!"
As he spoke, Sha Monk raised his hand and pointed at Tang Sanzang.
In other words, it pointed at his head.
"Buddha used to cut his flesh and feed it to eagles, exchanging his own suffering for the peace of others."
"Now, I wonder if the holy monk is willing to carry forward the Buddha's great wish and generously donate the human head on his neck to help me achieve the right fruition and become a Buddha immediately?"
As he spoke, Sha Monk clasped his hands and offered Buddhist salutes to Tang Sanzang, his voice was pious and full of murderous intent.
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang's heart suddenly thumped!
No wonder I had a soul resonance with the skull Buddha beads. It turned out that the nine heads on the beads were my previous life!
The nine Buddhist scripture collectors from the previous life all died tragically at the hands of Sha Monk.
Now, this monster from the lower realm of heaven has actually set his sights on me again in this life!
Ah! …
Tang Sanzang let out a cold snort at his natural words.
"How can the body, hair and skin be damaged easily by the parents? And the head on the neck is the lifeblood of all living beings, how can it be given away at will?"
He took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Although I am a member of the Buddhist sect, I am not the Buddha after all, and I cannot compare to his compassion and selflessness. Therefore, please forgive me for not being able to fulfill your long-cherished wish!"
"It's just... if you really like my head so much, you can try to get it yourself!"
When he said these words, Tang Sanzang's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"The holy monk invites you kindly, how can I refuse?"
"In that case, I have no choice but to offend!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sha Seng's expression turned cold.
As the demon-suppressing staff in his hand slashed across the water, a torrent of a hundred feet high rose from the ground and rushed straight towards the shore!
But when the torrent approached the shore, it turned into a giant gluttonous mouth, mixed with roaring roars and shrill screams of ghosts, and swallowed Tang Sanzang down!
Seeing this, Tang Sanzang didn't panic and just took a small step back.
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, who were already furious at the side, immediately stepped forward and faced the menacing Sha Seng!
"You are so bold and monstrous, you dare to bring your ideas upon my master. You really don't know how to live or die!"
With an angry shout, the golden cudgel in Sun Wukong's hand rose up against the storm, instantly turned into a length of ten thousand feet, and hit the weak water and the oncoming waves heavily!
Zhu Bajie was not to be outdone, and the nine-toothed nail rake swept out toward the river with bursts of divine light!
Boom! …
The two of them took action at the same time, causing the surrounding earth to shake immediately!
With their combined efforts, the overwhelming torrent instantly disintegrated and turned into thousands of waves that splashed towards both sides of the river bank, without affecting Tang Sanzang at all.
But this rolling wave is ultimately transformed by weak water, and the resentment coming from it can corrupt all living things.
Although the wave broke away, the surrounding mountains and fields, which were eroded by weak water, also suffered devastating damage.
Wherever the weak water passed, towering trees seemed to be melted. They withered and withered in an instant, turning into smoke and embers and disintegrating on the spot.
Countless weeds and shrubs turned to gray in an instant, and even the deep soil in the mountains rotted away, exposing the hard rocks beneath the ground!
Such a scene is simply shocking!
Bang!
At the same time, the residual power from the stick and rake also tore half of the river at this moment, and directly attacked the skeleton sailboat where Sha Monk was!
Without any surprise, the skeleton sailboat was shattered on the spot, turning into thousands of broken bones flying into the air, and finally sank into the water.
Sha Seng was the first to bear the brunt. After being attacked by the two men, his body exploded instantly.
However, he did not die, and he was not even injured at all.
Instead, it turned into yellow sand all over the sky, floating above the water, and never dispersed for a long time.
"The Great Sage Qitian, who is causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and Marshal Tianpeng, who is in charge of the 80,000 sailors of the Tianhe River, are truly worthy of their reputation! With my own strength, I am indeed no match for the two of you!"
The yellow sand surged endlessly in the cold wind, and gradually a ferocious face of a sand monk emerged, looking at the two people on the shore with eager eyes.
"But I am the king in the Liusha River. If you want to save Tang Sanzang from me, it may not be that easy!"
