After leaving Wuzhuang Temple, Tang Sanzang and others continued their journey westward.
"Wukong, why do I always see you looking worried during this journey?"
Two days later, several people had left the boundary of Longevity Mountain and walked thousands of miles away.
Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wukong, who had been silent all the time, and asked him with interest.
"Master, can you tell me what kind of cruel trick you and Zhen Yuanzi staged this time?"
Sun Wukong looked back at him and then asked.
After all, in his opinion, the reason why the master angrily recommended the ginseng fruit tree this time was too far-fetched, and it had a pretentious feel to it.
"Zhen Yuanzi was a close friend of mine in my previous life, and he has a great connection with me in this life. He can even help me in the future world of great strife."
To this, Tang Sanzang responded, "However, if he and I appear to be too intimate, the Bodhisattva may not be willing to see it."
"That's why we decided to stage this drama of breakup with the ginseng fruit tree, just to show it to the Bodhisattva and make her feel at ease with me."
"Isn't it a great good thing to have irreversible friendship with the ancestor of the Earth Immortal? Why wouldn't Bodhisattva want to see it?"
Sun Wukong felt baffled by Tang Sanzang's explanation.
However, Tang Sanzang shook his head, "Don't talk too much about this matter. Talking too much will not benefit anyone."
"Master, I always feel that there are too many unknown secrets in you."
Having said this, Sun Wukong didn't want to ask any more questions, so he immediately said this.
In his impression, his master was the emperor's younger brother in the Tang Dynasty and the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha.
But as time went by, he always felt that his master had a third identity.
However, the master never mentioned this identity to himself, and seemed to be deliberately hiding it from his disciples.
"Who doesn't have secrets? Wukong, don't you do the same?"
Tang Sanzang neither admitted nor denied, but said this meaningfully to Wukong.
"Wukong, this time you went to the outside world to ask people to save the tree. When you came back, you seemed to be a changed person. I wonder what happened?"
With this thought, Tang Sanzang asked again.
"Master, do you have any impression of my mentor?"
Sun Wukong was silent for a moment, and then spoke.
"Oh, you're talking about Patriarch Bodhi, what's wrong?"
"Do you recognize my master?"
After hearing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but be surprised.
You know, I almost never tell others about the identity of my mentor.
Even to Tang Sanzang, the Buddhist teacher, he only mentioned that he had this master, but never revealed his name and identity.
But how did Tang Sanzang know that he was called Patriarch Bodhi?
"Oh, of course I don't recognize it, my teacher. I just accidentally heard it when you were talking in your sleep before."
Tang Sanzang quickly became careless and did not reveal his identity as a time traveler.
"So that's it. It seems that my old grandson talks in his sleep a lot!"
Sun Wukong responded like this, and then he dispelled his doubts, "My master, Patriarch Bodhi, practiced in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, and I also received the master's true teachings in that mountain thousands of years ago, and then I was able to achieve the true fruition and achieve this great body." The ability to cause trouble in heaven.”
"But this time, in order to save the ginseng fruit tree, I went to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, but I found that the master was no longer there, and the cave was taken over by a fairy."
"The fairy told me that in fact my master does not exist, and my spiritual practice was not taught by others, but that I clearly understood the fate of my previous life in a dream, so I became a perfect master without a teacher..."
"By the way, that fairy claims to be the Supreme Immortal Zixia, and she... I saw her existence in the silver mirror owned by Mother Lishan at that time!"
Zixia Shangxian...
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang frowned slightly.
He had heard from Immortal Zhenyuan before that the silver mirror owned by Mother Lishan was actually called the Earthly Mirror.
Through this mirror, one can see the marriage, love, and calamity of humans, ghosts, demons, gods, and Buddhas in the world.
In that earthly mirror, what Tang Sanzang saw was the other shore, but what Sun Wukong saw was the Immortal Zixia.
According to his opinion, could it be that the so-called Immortal Zixia is also the location of Sun Wukong's love disaster?
But if that's the case, then why did Master Zixia actually appear in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and in the cave where Master Sun Wukong was supposed to practice?
"So Goku, what are your plans?"
With this series of doubts, Tang Sanzang asked Wukong.
"Disciple always feels that this matter is quite strange. If Master allows me, I would like to take the time to go back to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain to find out."
Sun Wukong thought for a while and pleaded to Tang Sanzang.
"This is easy to handle, just go ahead. If there is anything you need to help me with, feel free to ask."
In response, Tang Sanzang nodded without hesitation.
After all, he has now cultivated the golden body and reached the golden immortal state. Ordinary monsters are no longer his opponents.
Instead of letting Sun Wukong stay by his side doing nothing, it would be better to give him some free time and let him do what he wants to do.
"In that case, I would like to thank Master in advance!"
After receiving Tang Sanzang's agreement, Sun Wukong was immediately delighted, "If it's possible, my disciple wants to leave now. I wonder if Master can agree?"
"Go, go, but be careful along the way and don't stay too long."
Tang Sanzang responded, his eyes full of love for him.
In response, Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly, and then left in the clouds.
But as soon as he jumped into the clouds, he stopped subconsciously, and his face, which was originally overjoyed, suddenly became more vigilant.
Woohoo! …
The bleak wind, accompanied by bursts of piercing ghost howls, suddenly resounded from the surrounding mountains and forests.
A dangerous aura also arrived unexpectedly, invisibly covering the bodies and minds of everyone present.
"What kind of monster dares to cause trouble here!"
Sun Wukong retracted his figure, the golden cudgel fell into his hand, and then he shouted angrily at the people around him.
They had been walking and chatting just now, and it was only then that everyone realized that they had walked out of the uninhabited land of the mountains and came to a manually repaired mountain path.
On both sides of the mountain road, there are mountain tombs one after another densely packed.
Some of these mountain tombs seem to be newly built, some only have tombstones left, and some have collapsed, exposing the decaying coffins and pale bones inside.
And this area is like a mass grave!
As the five masters and disciples crossed the border, these mountain tombs began to vibrate violently for no apparent reason, and smoke even rose from the tombs.
Click! Click! Click! …
In an instant, bursts of shattering sounds of earth and stone continued to sound from all around.
Looking around, I saw that the tombs were bursting with long cracks!
Along with the puffs of green smoke, white skeleton hand bones poked out of the grave one after another!
"Ho! The breath of the living!..."
Hoarse and harsh ghost whistles also sounded from the tomb one after another.
In Tang Sanzang's vigilant eyes, he saw white bones and skeletons crawling out of the grave one after another.
With bursts of desolate wind and the continuous sound of ghost howls, he appeared in front of everyone!
Good guy, it’s really a wave of calmness and another wave of rise again!
Just after leaving the realm of Wuzhuangguan, another trouble came to the door!
