"A mere curtain-rolling general can hardly withstand my combined power. Now that he has suffered severe injuries, he still dares to speak so brazenly?"
Listening to Sha Seng's almost mocking words, a trace of anger appeared in Sun Wukong's eyes.
At this time, all the golden cudgels had submerged into the Liusha River, almost breaking the entire river in half.
The thousand-layer wave stirred up by this blow also caused an unprecedented flood disaster on both the upstream and downstream sides.
"In that case, let me, Old Sun, see if you are a tough talker or if you are really tough on your life!"
After that, Sun Wukong raised the golden cudgel again and was about to send him on his last journey!
However, this Sha Monk is not a reckless and impulsive person after all.
Seeing Sun Wukong's posture, he did not dare to confront him head-on, and immediately chose to avoid the edge temporarily.
As a wave of water surged, the man, with his heavily injured body, instantly submerged into the depths of the weak water and disappeared without a trace.
No matter how much Sun Wukong stirred up the Liusha River, there was never any movement.
But the battle between the two also caused the weak water in the river to flow freely, causing hundreds of miles of surrounding fertile fields to decay and turn into wasteland.
In order to prevent this land from being poisoned by too many unnecessary weak waters, Sun Wukong finally stopped angrily, withdrew his magical power and returned to the shore after trying many things to no avail.
"Master, this monster monk knows he can't fight me, but after being so tough, he actually retreated into the water and couldn't come out. What do you think we should do?"
Returning to Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong said with some embarrassment.
In fact, with his ability, it is not difficult to destroy the 800-mile Liusha River.
But it would be too unworthy to cause the weak water in the river to poison the earth just to kill a mere monk.
On the other hand, his water quality is not good, and the Liusha River is full of weak water transformed by resentment.
If he forced himself into the water to capture the monster, his strength would definitely plummet. Then it would probably not be easy to capture the Sha Monk from the water!
"Brother Monkey, don't worry about this underwater thing. I'm still here, old pig!"
Before Tang Sanzang could speak, Zhu Bajie on the side volunteered.
"Bajie, the water in this quicksand river is full of weak water. Is it really feasible for you to rashly enter the water to fight that monster monk?"
Tang Sanzang couldn't help but feel worried about this.
Just because weak water has the power to corrupt all living things in the world, even though Zhu Bajie is the demon king, he is still made of flesh and blood after all.
If he was put in danger because of this, it was obviously not what he wanted to see.
"Don't worry, Master. I, Old Zhu, was the Tianpeng Marshal who commanded 80,000 sailors in Tianhe. My underwater skills are more than one level better than Brother Monkey's!"
"Besides, that demon monk has been severely injured by Brother Monkey. As soon as I find him, I can kill him with one strike. Isn't it easy to catch him!"
Zhu Bajie patted his chest and said confidently.
In fact, the reason why he came forward at this time also had some thoughts in it.
After all, I had just become a master, so I had to show some self-worth in front of this master no matter what.
But when he was in Uzang Kingdom, he just leveled a Yellow Wind Mountain and slaughtered a bunch of young mice.
As for the yellow wind monster that stole the country, Master took it upon himself to deal with it, and he just stood by and acted as a bystander.
Now, at the Liusha River, there was an attack by Sha Monk, and Brother Monkey stole the spotlight, which made Zhu Bajie feel very uncomfortable.
And now that he finally had an opportunity to express himself well, how could he miss it?
"In that case, I'll leave this monster to you, so be careful."
With a little worry, Tang Sanzang immediately agreed.
"Hmph, didn't you just want to take advantage of my poor water quality to pick peaches? Look what this idiot is capable of!"
Sun Wukong also quickly saw through Bajie's little thoughts, but he muttered something secretly.
But even so, he still told Bajie, "Idiot, if you encounter any trouble later, remember to return to the shore immediately, and I, Old Sun, will come to pick you up!"
"Brother Monkey, just relax, everything will be taken care of by me, the old pig!"
After that, Zhu Bajie picked up the nine-tooth rake and strode towards the Liusha River.
At the same time, bursts of divine light surged out from his body, like a shield covering his entire body. However, it forced the surrounding weak water away three feet away without contaminating his body at all.
Under the blessing of the divine light, Zhu Bajie entered the sea like a dragon and soon dived into the depths of Liusha River and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong immediately prepared himself for fear that anything would go wrong with Bajie.
Tang Sanzang sat on a rock on the shore again, looking at the quicksand river with three thousand weak water, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Cause and effect are established under the bodhi tree. I look at the three lives before meditating on three lives. I cross the difficulties on the other side of the mortal world. I just sigh that the previous life is this life..."
A passage that was easy to understand but contained the mysterious Buddhist principles of yin and yang reincarnation subconsciously appeared in Tang Sanzang's mind.
This short passage is taken from the Three Lives Zen taught to him by Tathagata Buddha.
When he passed through Mount Futu, Tang Sanzang met Zen Master Wuchao who was transformed by the Buddha.
When the Buddha came, in addition to endorsing his future journey to the West, he also gave himself this sutra called "Three Lives of Zen".
He also told Tang Sanzang that when he arrived at the eight-hundred-mile Liusha River, the infinite mysteries of Sansheng Zen would make sense, and he would gain enlightenment from this.
Now, he has arrived at the Liusha River and encountered the demon monk who killed him for nine lives.
So, is it now time for the Three Lives Zen, given by Tathagata Buddha himself, to clear up the clouds and see the light of day?
Or, does this so-called Three Lives Zen have some hidden cause and effect with the string of skull beads made from the nine heads of his previous life?
At this moment, Tang Sanzang was filled with thoughts.
For some reason, he had a vague feeling that when he came to Liusha River this time, something would happen that would completely reverse his destiny.
But where this omen came from, even he himself couldn't figure out...
Om! Well! Woolen cloth! Bah! mum! Hum!
However, just as he was thinking, bursts of harsh Sanskrit sounds suddenly resounded from the Liusha River!
"what happened!?"
The sudden change brought Tang Sanzang back from his daze.
Following the sound, I saw that in the Liusha River, which was originally weak and full of resentment, for some reason, Buddha's light suddenly burst out!
And this Buddha's light is extremely familiar, having the same origin as the Buddha's power in his body, and that familiar sense of soul resonance arises spontaneously again!
boom! !
I saw the Buddha's light lingering, and a golden Buddha's handprint suddenly shot out from the bottom of the water, causing the river to stir up huge waves!
Zhu Bajie, who originally went into the water to chase Sha Seng, was actually knocked out of the water by the Buddha's handprint. He was thrown into the sky along with the water waves, and then landed heavily among the rocks not far from the shore.
"Bajie, what's going on with you?"
Seeing this scene, Sun Wukong immediately flew forward and helped Zhu Bajie up.
At this time, Zhu Bajie looked quite embarrassed.
The monk's robe he was wearing was torn in layers, and his chest seemed to have suffered some kind of heavy blow. The skin and flesh were split layer by layer, and bursts of cold Buddha light continued to seep out from the wound along with the blood.
"You idiot! That monster monk was seriously injured by me and is already dying. How come you can't even defeat him despite all your abilities, and you even got beaten into a pig-like state!?"
Seeing that Zhu Bajie was okay for the time being, Sun Wukong immediately hated iron and killed him.
"No...it wasn't the demon monk who hurt me, it was...it was Master!!"
Zhu Bajie's face was pale and he looked frightened, but he exclaimed like this.
"What did you say!?"
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang turned around, his face suddenly filled with astonishment.
At the same time, an extremely bad premonition also came to his mind.
With this bad premonition, Tang Sanzang looked back at the river.
But in the quicksand river where the Buddha's light was stirring, the figures of nine monks suddenly emerged from the bottom of the water, and appeared in everyone's sight on the water waves.
Looking around, these nine monks who came from the bottom of the water were clearly transformed by weak water.
Their bodies were full of resentment, but bursts of Buddha's light lingered around them, looking solemn and mysterious.
And their shapes, faces, and auras on their bodies are all exactly the same as Tang Sanzang!
"What's going on, nine masters!?"
Seeing this scene, Sun Wukong and Xiao Bailong were also extremely shocked and did not understand what happened.
At this time, the nine monks transformed by the weak water walked towards the shore step by step, and in the blink of an eye they had arrived in front of Tang Sanzang.
"In the next life, after so many years, we will meet again!"
The nine monks looked at Tang Sanzang and said the same thing.
A ferocious smile appeared on their faces...
