Under Tang Sanzang's merciless palm, the Seven Heart-piercing Swords and Sha Wujing's flesh and blood body were torn to pieces on the spot!
Along with a cry, a large amount of flesh and blood splashed on the spot amid the Buddha's light!
Sha Wujing's physical body was extinguished!
And his scarred soul was peeled off from his broken body, floating in the air, and looked at Tang Sanzang in horror.
"Huh, let's die!"
Seeing this, Tang Sanzang shouted angrily.
Without any hesitation, a palm print came into being again, and fell heavily on this soul, which would make him fly away on the spot!
Buzz! …
But just when Tang Sanzang was about to wipe out Sha Wujing, a sudden change occurred in the Liusha River!
I saw that the sky above the long river, which was originally dark, suddenly came unexpectedly with a vast Buddha's light, shrouding Sha Wujing's soul layer by layer.
The infinite divine power from Tang Sanzang's palm was completely blocked by the Buddha's radiance without harming the opponent at all.
"Elder Tang, please show mercy!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the sky.
There was a hint of consternation in Tang Sanzang's eyes, and he followed the sound, only to see Mu Zha, the traveler of Hui'an, arriving at the scene without knowing it, and rescued Sha Wujing from his hands.
"Walker Hui'an, I wonder why you are here?"
After seeing the person clearly, Tang Sanzang waved his long sleeves and retracted his hand, and asked him calmly.
"Elder Tang, monks should be compassionate, so why do you need to kill someone so painfully?"
"I came here this time on the orders of Master Guanyin. I hope you can spare Sha Wujing a way out!"
Mu Zha said this while holding a jade purification bottle from Guanyin Master in his hand.
Mu Zha also witnessed the bloody battle in the Liusha River just now.
But in a moment, he had taken back the inheritance of the past five hundred years and nine generations, and allowed the Nine-ringed Tin Staff to fully awaken.
Not only have you entered the realm of the Golden Immortal, but you have also cultivated a golden body!
"What on earth is the Buddha planning? Why did he have to use a three-life meditation to impatiently bestow such a heaven-shattering creation on Tang Sanzang?"
Mu Zha thought, because the rapid rise of Tang Sanzang completely exceeded his expectations.
"Walker Hui'an, this is not the first time that you and I have dealt with each other. You should know very well that I am not an open-minded person."
At this moment, Tang Sanzang spoke, with a burst of undisguised dissatisfaction in his voice.
"The demon monk first killed me for nine lives, and then massacred millions of people in the Quicksand Kingdom, committing heinous consequences! Only by letting him die without a place to bury can the hatred in my heart be relieved!"
"But he committed such a murder not out of his original intention, but because he was forced by heaven!"
Regarding this, Mu Zha paused his thoughts and shook his head, "It was the Jade Emperor who planted the seven swords piercing the heart in his body, making him unable to survive and die, so he had to kill to postpone the suffering of the seven swords!"
"In your previous life, as well as all living beings in Liusha Kingdom, rather than being harmed by Sha Wujing, it is better to say that it was at the hands of heaven!"
"And all of this happened because he wanted to convert to Buddhism, which led to innocent people being implicated and suffering unreasonable disasters!"
"this……"
Mu Zha's explanation was indeed quite reasonable, and it also made Tang Sanzang feel a little hesitant.
As Mu Zha said, in a sense, Sha Wujing is indeed a puppet controlled by the Disaster of Seven Swords.
Whether it is good or evil is no longer allowed for him to decide on his own, but depends on heaven and the Jade Emperor's thoughts.
Is a person who is manipulated by others and involuntarily harms all sentient beings really considered a heinous person?
At this time, a paradox suddenly emerged in Tang Sanzang's heart, which also caused him to fall into some contradictions.
"Walker Hui'an, what do you think should be done with this Sha Wujing?"
Later, Tang Sanzang asked this question to Mu Zha.
In this regard, Muzha said nothing, but offered the jade purification bottle.
As the willow branches waved gently, a drop of nectar from the Yujing bottle fell from mid-air and landed on Sha Wujing's already torn body.
Along with this movement, a burst of vitality bloomed from his broken body.
I saw that the wounds all over his body began to heal quickly, the blood that stained the river surface was all returned to the fluid, and the broken bones were rejoined and healed.
But in the blink of an eye, his physical body was restored to its original state!
At the same time, Sha Wujing's wandering soul seemed to have received some kind of summons, but it also returned to the physical body.
Under the influence of that nectar, Sha Wujing, whose body had been extinguished, was suddenly reborn!
"Thank you Hui'an Walker for your kindness in rebuilding, and thank you Holy Monk for not killing me!"
After getting rid of the disaster of seven swords piercing the heart, and without the shackles of weak water, Sha Wujing, who was resurrected from the dead, knelt down on the water and spoke respectfully and piously to the two of them.
The murderous thoughts and hatred in his eyes were no longer, replaced by a touch of clarity and peace.
"It seems that the karma between me and his master and disciple has been determined by fate, and we can't escape even if we want to!"
Seeing this, Tang Sanzang shook his head and sighed in his heart.
Although Mu Zha did not say it directly, the purpose of what he did was already self-evident.
Then he paid no attention to it and just watched what Muzha planned to do next.
"Sha Wujing, now that the disaster of the Seven Swords has been resolved and you are now free, would you like to put down your butcher knife and take refuge in my Buddha?"
At this time, Mu Zha spoke again and said this to Sha Wujing.
After hearing this, Sha Wujing trembled suddenly and looked at the envoy with a look of astonishment, unable to believe that this statement was true.
"But... this disciple has committed heinous crimes in the past five hundred years. Is there really a chance to turn around?"
Sha Wujing said this, his eyes full of repentance for past sins.
"You have a pure nature, but you were angered by the Jade Emperor because you believed in Buddhism and received enlightenment from the Bodhisattva. As a result, you fell into the mortal world and suffered catastrophes that lasted for five hundred years. This is what I, the Buddha, owe you, and the Bodhisattva is ashamed of you. of."
Muzha said, "Your past sins are not yours, but the fault of heaven. Now that you have escaped from the sea of suffering, my Buddha's door will naturally be open to you at any time!"
"I just wonder if you are still willing to return to Buddhism after going through this tribulation?"
Mu Zha's words were sincere and extremely tolerant, but they made Sha Wujing so excited that he was at a loss for words.
"The envoy's words made this disciple burst into tears of gratitude. I am willing to take refuge in my Buddha!"
After a while, Sha Wujing suppressed the excitement in his heart and responded incoherently.
"That's good, that's good!"
After hearing this, Mu Zha nodded happily, and then looked at Tang Sanzang again.
"Elder Tang, I know you are quite unhappy with Sha Wujing, but after all, he is not a bad person, and the Bodhisattva also intends to help him become a Buddha."
Mu Zha said respectfully, "So, I wonder if you can consider the Bodhisattva's face and accept him as your fourth disciple, regardless of past grievances, and let him accompany you to Xitianling Mountain to achieve enlightenment?"
For the sake of Bodhisattva...
The weight of Muzha's words is not ordinary!
Along the way, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva has helped me countless times. How can she not give her face?
Sha Wujing was originally his destined fourth disciple, but it was only because of what he did at Liusha River that Tang Sanzang decided to kill him.
Now that I think about it carefully, in fact, he is just a miserable man who has been manipulated by heaven, and he is not as heinous as he imagined...
"Sha Wujing, did you hear clearly what Hui'an Traveler just said?"
With this thought in mind, and after reluctantly convincing himself, Tang Sanzang turned his head and looked at Sha Wujing kneeling on the water.
"For the sake of the Bodhisattva, I can accept you as my disciple and let you go to the West with me! But you must obey my orders. If this happens again, I will not spare you!"
Leaving this piece of advice behind, Tang Sanzang stood with his hands behind his back and waited for the other party's response.
"Master is willing to accept the disciple as his disciple regardless of past grudges. The disciple is very grateful!"
"In the future, I will serve my master in front of and behind my back. As long as my master follows his lead, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Master, please bow to me as a disciple!"
Sha Wujing's excitement was beyond words, and he immediately kowtowed to Tang Sanzang and thanked him, performing the ceremony of master and disciple.
"Congratulations to Elder Tang for accepting another disciple!"
Seeing Tang Sanzang finally nodding, Mu Zha also breathed a sigh of relief, "In that case, please continue traveling westward, elder. I will also return to Luojia Mountain first to return my life to the Bodhisattva!"
At this moment, Muzha finally completed his mission, and then the Buddha's light dispersed in the wind.
"Interesting, really interesting!"
"It's true that things in the world are unpredictable. The monk who was fighting with us previously has become the master's apprentice in the blink of an eye!"
In response, Sun Wukong clicked his tongue and marveled, and then came to the two of them together with Bajie and Xiaobailong.
"Junior brother Sha Wujing, I've met my senior brother, my second senior brother, and I've met my junior brother Bailong!"
After seeing a group of people coming, Sha Wujing clasped his hands together and said respectfully to them, without any of the previous tenseness.
"Junior Brother Sha, you're welcome. Now that we have become master's disciples, we will all be a family from now on!"
Zhu Bajie chuckled, and then put the baggage-carrying burden into his hand unceremoniously, "Since you consider yourself the third oldest, I will leave the burden-carrying work to you in the future, senior brother. !”
"Senior brother, you are serious. This is my responsibility."
Sha Wujing didn't mind at all. After giving a simple smile, he naturally picked up the luggage on his shoulders.
Tang Sanzang glanced at these disciples. Although he was slightly resentful, he felt relieved after all.
After taking Sha Wujing under his command, the last piece of the Western Heaven Buddhist scriptures team was finally assembled!
Now that the calamity of Liusha River is over, it’s time for him to continue his journey!
"Apprentices, get on your way!"
