"So, you still chose to devote yourself to Buddha, and the relationship that lasted more than a hundred years was just broken up?"
Second Sister Mao asked foolishly, and a line of clear tears silently fell from her eyes.
After hearing this, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but feel a heart-wrenching pain.
"Madam, you and I are husband and wife. We were like this before, we are like this now, and we will still be like this in the future. Over the past hundred years or so, you should be very clear about my feelings for you."
After taking a deep breath, Zhu Bajie said to her, "But compared to the love between my children, what I want more is to achieve righteousness."
"Only when I cultivate to the right level can I regain my former status, return home in fine clothes, and be with you openly."
"But before that, please forgive me for not being able to stay with you any longer."
"I need to travel far, I want to achieve my own hegemony, and I want to realize my ambition. Please understand my difficulties."
Zhu Bajie's words at this time also left a way out for himself and Second Sister Mao.
He is not really determined, he is still bound to Sister Mao.
It's just that now the husband needs to travel far to realize his ideals and ambitions, so he can only leave his wife temporarily.
"Then...will you come back again after you have attained consummation?"
After hearing his words, Sister Mao's dim eyes once again shone with a glimmer of light.
"You are my wife, and Yunzhan Cave will always be my home. If I achieve Zhengguo, how can I return to my hometown without clothes?"
At this moment, Zhu Bajie's eyes showed a trace of softness, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back when the time comes, and continue to come back to you. If time passes, if I succeed in my cultivation, I will definitely let you shed your demon body and make you an immortal." class!"
"But if by chance... I mean just by chance, if I die on the road to the West, or in the troubled times in the future, please don't be too sad and forget about me..."
Zhu Bajie made a promise to Sister Mao and also revealed that his future was uncertain.
"Then... how about I go with you, okay?"
Regarding this, Second Sister Mao had a hint of worry in her eyes, and then looked at Tang Sanzang with a hint of probing eyes.
It seemed that he was begging Tang Sanzang to allow her to go westward with her husband.
"The road to the West is difficult and bumpy, and your conduct is low. How can I feel at ease if I encounter danger or misfortune?"
However, Tang Sanzang did not respond, but Zhu Bajie on the side shook his head and rejected her request.
"Madam, don't follow me, go back! Go back to Fuling Mountain, and I will return when my merits are complete."
"Then how long will it take for you to go to the West to study for Buddhist scriptures and come back?"
"It can take as long as ten years or as little as five years."
"Ten years...that means, in the next few years, I won't be able to see you again?"
After hearing this, Second Sister Mao had a trace of disappointment in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, madam, for keeping you waiting."
Zhu Bajie sighed, his voice full of helplessness.
However, the lifespan of the demon race is long, and a mere ten years is actually not particularly long.
Although the second sister Mao doesn't want to be separated, her husband has his own ambitions, so as a wife, how can she stop it.
"In that case, I will go back to Fuling Mountain and wait for you to come back."
After struggling for a moment, Sister Mao finally nodded, "So, will you really come back?"
"I, the old pig, swear that I will return after my merits are fulfilled. If I fail in any way, I will be destroyed and become a monster forever!"
Finally, Zhu Bajie made such a solemn oath to Sister Mao.
"Besides, there is one thing I have to tell you truthfully, Madam."
Later, Zhu Bajie added to Sister Mao, "Madam, after you fell into the dust and fell asleep, I thought you were dead, so I stayed in front of your grave for three years, and then married another girl. "
"That girl is Gao Cuilan from Gaolaozhuang. When I decided to go west, I took her to visit you at your grave."
"Although Gao Cuilan and I have been married for three years, we have been together less and more apart. I owe her a lot. If possible, I hope my wife will help take care of her after she returns to Fuling Mountain, and don't let the bad guys take her. Bullied.”
"However, if she can't stand the wait and wants to remarry, I fully respect her wishes and hope you won't be in trouble, madam."
While feeling guilty for Second Sister Mao, Zhu Bajie still cared about Gao Cuilan who was still in Gao Laozhuang, and said this to Second Sister Mao.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of my sister and won't let her suffer in the slightest."
Regarding this, Second Sister Mao seemed to be very sensible. She didn't ask too many questions or get too entangled, and immediately nodded and agreed.
After hearing Sister Mao's words, Zhu Bajie immediately felt relieved and looked at Tang Sanzang again.
"Master, just now my wife has offended you a lot. I hope you will be more considerate and don't argue with a woman like her. If you are really angry, then punish me, an old pig."
Zhu Bajie clasped his hands and said this to Tang Sanzang, but he was talking about love for the second sister Mao.
"Bajie, what are you talking about? You are my disciple, and Sister Mao is your wife. What happened just now was just a misunderstanding. How can I be so narrow-minded as to embarrass her?"
Why did Tang Sanzang smile? He shook his head nonchalantly, signaling him to relax.
"By the way, Bajie, if you still care about the mortal world and can't let go of your wife, you can always return to Fuling Mountain to visit her on this pilgrimage. You can also visit Gao Cuilan."
"Although we are Buddhists, we don't have to be bound by Buddhist dogma. I will respect your decision. If the Bodhisattva blames you in the future, I can explain it to you."
Tang Sanzang showed his tolerance and generosity as a teacher, which also made Zhu Bajie burst into tears of gratitude.
"Thank you, Master, for your consideration. Thank you, Master, for your understanding."
Zhu Bajie was so excited that he could not speak for a while. After a while, he solemnly thanked Sister Mao together with him.
"Brother and sister, you are serious. Since you are Bajie's mother-in-law, you should have said it earlier. Those who have been hesitating this whole time are fortunate that Master has mastered the supreme Buddhist method of resurrecting the dead. Otherwise, Bajie would have been defeated by my stick just now. You really have to turn against me!"
At this time, Sun Wukong also walked up, and he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
After all, the stick he had just struck was the one that rushed to scatter Second Sister Mao's soul.
If he really beat her to death with a stick, then according to Zhu Bajie's stubborn temper, I'm afraid none of his fellow brothers would be able to do anything in the future.
Thanks to Master's boundless Dharma, I was able to make up for this huge mistake.
However, there was one thing that puzzled Sun Wukong.
In his impression, among the many Buddhist dharma in Xitian Lingshan, only Mahayana Buddhism can save all living beings, resurrect the dead and allow the resentful to enter reincarnation.
Previously, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva saved many monkeys and monkeys in his Huaguo Mountain, and Lingji Bodhisattva restored the endangered city and redeemed the mortals affected by their wars, all of which used Mahayana Buddhism.
But what the Master practiced in the Harbin Kingdom was obviously the Great Dao Sutra passed down by Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. Why did he also have the ability to bring back the dead?
However, these are no longer important.
The important thing is that Second Sister Mao is safe and sound, so I have nothing to worry about.
"Great Sage, you are right. The slave family will definitely take this as a warning in the future."
To this, Second Sister Mao responded.
But for this demon king who once caused havoc in the heavenly palace and swept away hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers, as a demon king, she still had a kind of awe from her soul.
"Okay, okay, don't be so formal. I am Bajie's senior brother and you are his wife. We will all be a family from now on. Please relax and don't look panicked."
Sun Wukong waved his hand quickly, but said rather kindly.
Second Sister Mao nodded, then looked at Zhu Bajie.
"Gang Xi, if this is the case, then I... will go back to Fuling Mountain first."
"On your way westward from now on, you must take good care of yourself and protect yourself. Don't get injured or catch a cold. If you really miss me one day, remember to go home often. I will always be in Yunzhan Cave. a."
Finally, Second Sister Mao told Zhu Bajie so reluctantly, as if she was a husband who was about to leave for a long distance after his wife said goodbye.
"Don't worry, madam, I, the old pig, will take good care of myself. You should also take care of yourself. I will definitely come back!"
Zhu Bajie nodded solemnly, his voice mostly filled with melancholy of farewell.
"In this case, the slave family will go back first."
"Holy monk, take care, husband, take care..."
Leaving these words behind, Second Sister Mao took one last look at Zhu Bajie, which finally turned into a wisp of smoke and drifted away in Baihu Ridge.
Zhu Bajie was left standing there, looking at her figure that had gone east for a long time...
As soon as the White Bone Demon was in trouble, it was over.
No one expected that this monster that suddenly appeared would be Zhu Bajie's dead wife Mao Erjie.
Although there were a lot of misunderstandings and conflicts, the ending was good after all.
"Alright Bajie, today's farewell is for the sake of our reunion after a long separation in the future. Don't look any further and continue on your journey as your master."
Seeing that Zhu Bajie was still watching Sister Mao's back, Tang Sanzang comforted him.
At the same time, bursts of holy Buddha light once again diffused from Tang Sanzang's body, shrouding Zhu Bajie.
A Buddha's power filled with the meaning of salvation also poured into his body.
Under the salvation of this Buddha's power, Zhu Bajie's numerous scars began to heal quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the originally torn monk's robe was even restored to its original state.
But in the blink of an eye, all Bajie’s injuries had recovered!
"Thank you Master for your generous help!"
Seeing the numerous scars on his body healed quickly under the healing power of Buddhism, Zhu Bajie's eyes showed a hint of joy, and then he expressed gratitude again.
After reluctantly looking back for the last time, Zhu Bajie finally withdrew his gaze and continued his journey westward with Tang Sanzang and others...
