Sun Wukong, who was pressed under the Five Fingers Mountain, waved to Guanyin Bodhisattva and said, "Don't bother looking anymore, my relatives have already left this place."
"Wukong, you should already know that five hundred years have passed. In a few days, a monk riding a horse, wearing a cassock, and carrying a nine-ringed staff will appear. You will then become his disciple, follow him, protect him, and journey to the Western Paradise to retrieve the scriptures. Remember, his name is Tang Sanzang..."
Tang Sanzang.
Sun Wukong knew this because Li Ming had said that this was his master on his journey to the West to obtain the scriptures.
All I knew was that he was my master; nothing else was said.
However, it is enough to know that Tang Sanzang was also someone Li ordered to go to the Western Paradise.
Sun Wukong suddenly pointed to a white cloud in the sky and said, "Bodhisattva, look, look! There's a monk riding the clouds in the sky, isn't that him?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva turned around and looked at the sky. There was indeed a monk in the sky, but she didn't know when he had appeared.
She didn't even notice that she was probably too engrossed in talking to Sun Wukong.
As Tang Sanzang floated in the air, he saw Guanyin Bodhisattva looking at him. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned around.
I dare not look Guanyin Bodhisattva in the eye. I just sold the Bodhisattva's headband and nine-ringed staff for money, and now I feel a little guilty.
Let's slip away first.
He said he would ride the clouds and wander off, and then come back after Guanyin left.
I hope Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't notice me.
Sun Wukong asked, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, has Tang Sanzang left?"
"It wasn't Tang Sanzang. There was a monkey that looked just like you, and I thought it was you. The world is big, and there are many people who look alike. Some people even say I look like a Bodhisattva."
"What did you say?"
"It's a small matter. Tang Sanzang has a nine-ringed staff, which I gave to him. You see, that monk doesn't even have one. Besides, Tang Sanzang is just a mortal, weak and frail. How could he possibly fly?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva stopped speaking to Sun Wukong, took to the air, and before disappearing, glanced at the Five Finger Mountain.
"There's a strange feeling about me, but what exactly is wrong?"
"Forget it, it's none of my business. Buddha is fighting Sun Wukong and is still in seclusion. Who am I supposed to be working hard for?
When the boss is away, employees slack off; that's the norm.
If everyone is diligent, it will lead to fierce competition.
"Anyway, I'm just a temporary Bodhisattva for now. I'll start working properly once I'm officially appointed."
She stopped observing the area, slipped away, and headed to the next place, Eagle's Sorrow Gorge. Once she finished there, she could go back to rest and quietly wait for her promotion.
...
After about an incense stick's time, Sun Wukong waited and waited but Tang Sanzang did not appear. He was just about to take down the Five Finger Mountain himself.
Just then, a monk, eating a steamed bun, walked towards him.
"Are you Sun Wukong?"
"You are Tang Sanzang."
"yes."
"yes."
Sun Wukong looked at Tang Sanzang and said, "Both Guanyin Bodhisattva and I saw you. You were the one riding the clouds just now, weren't you? She told me that you are a mortal, weak and frail."
Tang Sanzang said, "Yes, I'm quite weak."
"Then how can you fly?"
"Isn't it normal to be able to fly? Even a monkey like you can fly, so why can't I?"
"..." Sun Wukong had no way to refute it. He looked Tang Sanzang up and down and asked, "Where are your brocade cassock and nine-ringed staff?"
"The robe is here."
"Where is the nine-ringed tin staff?"
Tang Sanzang did not answer, but immediately took off his bundle and took out his brocade cassock, inside which were steaming hot buns, bananas and peaches.
"I bought you peaches and bananas. They look very fresh. Would you like to have one first?"
"Where is the nine-ringed tin staff?"
"Sold."
"Where is my headband?" Sun Wukong didn't want to wear it; he was just curious to see what it looked like.
"It was sold too."
"..." Sun Wukong didn't know how to respond.
Seeing that the monkey had stopped talking, Tang Sanzang said, "Let's not talk about these trivial things. I'll release you first, and we'll go to the Western Paradise to retrieve the scriptures together."
"Master, then you go further away, I'll come out myself." Sun Wukong planned to smash the Five Finger Mountain and then come out.
"Wukong, let me do it." Tang Sanzang patted Sun Wukong's head and said, "I will release you now, just wait a moment."
Sun Wukong was a little confused, staring at him, wanting to see what he would do.
Suddenly, Tang Sanzang was seen flying up, forming a hand seal with one hand and muttering a spell.
"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Paramita, Move Mountains!"
Suddenly, the area around Wuzhi Mountain turned dark.
In an instant, a violent power erupted from the monk's body, like a dragon that had been sleeping for countless years.
Golden light shone brightly, its power penetrating the clouds.
boom.
Wuzhi Mountain cracked, shattered, and turned into dust.
