"Then here comes the problem."

He said quietly, "How many years can an ordinary person live? How can they walk these countless miles?"

"Isn't this a contradiction?"

"You don't have to worry about that."

"We have already made arrangements."

"Since you are the reincarnation of a Buddhist monk, you should be blessed by us Buddhas. Your life span is nothing to worry about."

Good, good, good!

That's how you play it, right?

Fuck, this is not just asking me to be Tang Sanzang, this is also asking me to do a high-end version of Journey to the West!!!

The map is countless times bigger, and the sense of oppression is also maximized?

What are you doing?

Is there something wrong with me that I have to suffer like this?

When I think about how hard it is to be Tang Sanzang, how he would be captured by monsters at any time, and how he would only be able to ask Wukong for help when something happens, it’s bullshit.

That would be more painful than killing yourself!

Seeing Gatlin silent.

I thought he was worried or felt something was wrong.

The Buddha added: "You don't need to worry about these things. We in Buddhism have made all the necessary preparations, and there will definitely not be any accidents."

"Moreover, when this trip is over, your merit will be complete."

"When that time comes, we will personally support you to become the Buddha!"

“That’s not all.”

"That is, our Buddhist followers will be spread all over the three thousand continents, and their faith and incense will far exceed what they are today, and will reach a peak never seen before!"

"The value of your Buddhahood will be unprecedented."

Then, he changed the subject: "You are one of us, and I won't lie to you."

"As the saying goes, people fight for a breath, Buddhas fight for a stick of incense."

"When you become a Buddha, you will be truly free. Then, you can do whatever you want..."

Gatlin was stunned: "Buddha, I don't understand what you mean."

Buddha: “…”

"What do you think Buddha is?"

He sighed: "In the final analysis, it's just for profit."

"Besides, haven't you already understood this? Why do you have to pretend to be ignorant?"

Gatlin raised an eyebrow and said nothing.

In fact, he already understood the truth.

Do you really think that Buddhism is dedicated to the world?

Neuropathy!

After all, it all comes down to profit.

It's just interests at work.

But these words are never said openly. At least as Buddhas, they cannot say them themselves.

But now, he said it directly.

What does it represent?

It means there is no room for negotiation!

You have to go whether you want to or not.

otherwise···

Hey.

If I'm not killed outright, I'll be imprisoned from now on and never see anyone else again, right?

There is no choice.

But···

If Gatlin were really asked to play the role of Tang Monk, he would really not be happy about it.

How can this happen?!

Headache!

Perhaps the only thing we can do now is to delay time.

The tactic of procrastination!

He groaned for a moment and said, "This matter...is of great importance, and it concerns the future of our Buddhist sect."

"But I don't know if I can do it. I wonder if the Buddha can let me consider it?"

“It should be considered carefully.”

The Buddha smiled and said, "How about giving you three days to think about it?"

"after all···"

"Reincarnation, rebirth, and growing up all take time."

“It’s not easy to delay too long.”

Three days?

Three days is enough to do something? It will just pass in the blink of an eye.

He was speechless.

But he also understood that this was the Buddha's 'ultimatum' to him, so he could only agree: "I will consider it as soon as possible."

After leaving the Great Leiyin Temple, Gatlin looked as usual.

In my heart, I was already cursing like crazy.

This is so fucking bullying!

That's too much!

But···

I just don't have a choice.

If you don't listen, you'll get punished.

"So, Tang Sanzang, I will definitely win without a doubt."

"From reincarnation to becoming 'Tang Sanzang', I couldn't resist the process."

"The only room for maneuver is after reincarnation."

"only···"

"After reincarnation, they will definitely continue to 'monitor' in secret to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan."

“So, it’s still difficult.”

"well."

"What should I do?"

He touched his shiny forehead and said, "What if I really become an ordinary person and can only say 'Wukong, Wukong' when encountering problems?"

"That would be worse than killing me."

Be it the past life or this life.

When has Gatlin ever suffered such humiliation?

Although he didn't have any 'super powers' in his previous life, he was still a strong man and was more than capable of dealing with a few ordinary people.

Which ordinary person dares to act pretentiously in front of me?

That's seeking death!

this life···

Although I, Gatling, am nothing in the upper realm, I am also a well-known figure in the Xianwu Continent.

Suppressed an era!

So, you want me to be Tang Sanzang in my next life?!

“···”

"That can't be the case!"

"We have to find a way."

"I can be Tang Sanzang, but I can't be like the real Tang Sanzang who has no memory of Jin Chanzi in his previous life and becomes weak and incompetent..."

“I have to keep the memory.”

"As long as the memory is there, you can practice again."

"When the time comes..."

"I will beat to death any monster that is blind."

"However, I have to hide it from the Buddhist surveillance, retain my memory, and practice under their surveillance without being noticed."

“It’s difficult.”

"How can this be done?"

“···”

He returned to his residence, thought about it, and found that he really had no choice.

"Can anyone help me?"

He pondered again and realized that the only person who could possibly help him was Lin Fan!

"I heard recently that Lin Fan has come up and founded the Lanyue Sect."

"Perhaps he can give me some advice?"

“···”

"Go find Lin Fan!"

Gatlin was really out of options.

He really didn't want to bring this trouble to Lin Fan and Lan Yue Sect.

but···

Regarding this matter, apart from discussing it with Lin Fan, who is also a time traveler, he really doesn't know who else can help him.

So, that's all there is to it.

"However, even if I go to find Lin Fan, I have to make preparations in advance, at least to ensure the safety of Lin Fan and the Lanyue Sect to the greatest extent possible."

"so···"

“···”

He ran to the Great Leiyin Temple again to meet the Buddha.

"But have you thought it through?"

"Buddha, I am confused and don't know if I can do it. Therefore, I want to go out for a walk. Perhaps I can find the answer."

"Three days is the limit. After three days, I will come back and tell you my decision. How about that?"

The Buddha pondered, then nodded: "Okay!"

Gatlin thanked him: "Thank you, Buddha."

"However, the Three Thousand Continents are full of dangers. It is not safe for me to go out alone. In order to ensure that the plan can proceed smoothly, I hereby leave a little of my true spirit to be looked after by the Buddha."

"My true spirit is immortal. Even if something goes wrong outside, I can still rely on my true spirit to reincarnate, so as not to delay my Buddhist plan."

After saying this, he took the initiative to hand over his true spirit to the Buddha.

The Buddha accepted it and said, “You are thoughtful.”

Gatlin put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, I'll take my leave."

“···”

Then he went on a long journey.

Only after leaving the Western Paradise on the teleportation array did he let out a sigh of relief.

"I know it very well."

Both sides know it well.

If I don't hand over my true spirit to the Buddha for safekeeping, the other party will definitely worry that I will run away and will send people to monitor me.

But if someone was sent to monitor him, Lin Fan would be exposed.

And it is almost impossible for me to "succeed".

If you hand over your true spirit, you will not be able to escape their control and surveillance...

Naturally, there is no need for that.

And when the Buddha said "you have a heart", was it praise or ridicule?

Maybe, it's the latter?

In his opinion, no matter what, I can't escape from his control?

He laughed at himself, lowered his head and walked away.

······

"Buddha."

"Gatlin... doesn't he need me to follow him?"

"No need." Facing the question from his Bodhisattvas, the Buddha was calm and indifferent.

"Believe in Gatling Bodhisattva."

“He is the future of Buddhism.”

Buddha:"···"

That's what I said.

Do you feel guilty about it?

It's obviously the true spirit in your hands, he can't escape...

"Yes, Buddha."

······

“Huh?!”

Lin Fan showed a happy expression: "An old friend came to visit."

Goodbye Gatlin.

Both have a sense of being in another world.

Lin Fan grabbed him and said, "Come on, let's drink!"

"We'll talk about drinking later."

When he saw Lin Fan again, Gatling Bodhisattva had lost his former high spirits and confidence, and a worried look appeared on his face.

"I came here this time to ask you for help."

"See if you have any way to help me break the impasse."

“Time is of the essence.”

"I have at most one hour."

“?!”

Seeing this, Lin Fan frowned and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter: "Follow me!"

He brought the person to Lanyue Palace and sent his attendants away.

Then, Gatling Bodhisattva slowly narrated his own experience.

Lin Fan: “…”

“What the hell!!!”

"?"

Gatlin Bodhisattva blinked: "Why are you reacting so strongly?"

"Because I want to curse."

Lin Fan's brows jumped: "You are the third one."

"What third one?"

"Before you..."

"I met a monkey and a pig."

Gatling Bodhisattva was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed drastically: "Is it the monkey and pig I was thinking of?"

Lin Fan nodded: "If what you think is the same as what I think."

Gatlin was completely numb.

He didn't pay attention to Lin Fan's 'tongue twister', he just felt creepy.

“It seems…”

“Are we being targeted?”

“It’s not like that.” Lin Fan spread his hands: “Of course.”

“It’s unavoidable.”

"But despite all my calculations, I never thought that you would be Tang Sanzang's choice."

“I didn’t expect that!”

Gatling Bodhisattva complained: "I was brought up here, and they rebuilt my golden body, helped me to revive, and provided me with all kinds of resources, delicious food and drinks. I knew it was not a good thing."

"Even considered that they would dig my kidneys."

"But I never expected that they didn't want my kidneys, but wanted me to be Tang Sanzang."

"Don't you think this is bullshit?"

"From head to toe, inside and out, how can I look like Tang Sanzang?"

"Does it have anything to do with him?"

After complaining, he added: "Forget it, time is running out. I can't change this, I can only ask for change."

"I just told you my thoughts."

"Can you give me some advice?"

Lin Fan stroked his chin and thought: "Retain the memory..."

“That’s not impossible.”

"Even in my case, it's pretty simple."

“???!”

"Simple?!"

Lin Fan raised two fingers: "Two methods."

"One, memory uploading and downloading."

"Just think of it as high-tech technology. Anyway, it can extract and copy your memories and reload them into your reincarnated body, thus allowing you to have the memories of your past life."

"And since you were just a baby at the time, there would be basically no conflict."

"If you choose this, I will help you extract your memories now, and after your future self is born, I will contact you in the past and reload your memories for you."

"even···"

"You don't even have to go back, just find a place to 'self-destruct'."

"You still have this technique?"

Gatlin was surprised: "Amazing!"

"In this case, I can indeed achieve my goal."

"What about the second option?"

Lin Fan pondered and said, "The second method is that I will create a secret technique that will allow you to preserve your memories or extract them, and then 'obtain' them one day in the future."

"It depends on how you choose to obtain it."

“It can be post-exposure acquisition.”

"It could also be that you 'awaken' automatically when you reach a certain age."

"hiss!"

Gatlin Bodhisattva took a deep breath and said, "Is this... possible?"

"If the memory awakened on its own, then it must be related to my true spirit, right?"

"And, if I'm not mistaken, they will definitely keep paying attention to me!"

"Before reincarnation, there will also be a very complete investigation."

"I have thought about these issues." Lin Fan nodded: "But I think I can do it."

Gatling Bodhisattva: “???!”

"And it can be completed in less than an hour?"

"right."

Lin Fan nodded: "However, if you are allowed to obtain it by yourself after reaching a certain age or meeting certain conditions, then it can only be a sealing technique."

"You don't need to learn it, and maybe you don't have that much time."

"I will 'copy' and seal your memory. You can't unlock it on your own initiative."

“···”

Gatlin Bodhisattva groaned: "Let me make it clear first, it's not that I don't trust you, but I'm afraid of getting you into trouble."

"Are you sure that those Buddhas won't notice?"

"If you are discovered, as an 'accomplice', I'm afraid they won't let you go."

“I’m not sure about that.”

"It's just luck."

"There's nothing wrong with being lucky."

"Bad luck..." Lin Fan spread his hands.

Gatlin Bodhisattva hesitated.

"That···"

"I'd better go."

"Don't!"

Lin Fan held him back: "I'm not trying to show off, but the Journey to the West itself is a conspiracy, a plan between many forces and powerful people. If we don't do something, we will just be trapped..."

"Then you will just be a pawn, at the mercy of others."

"I really can't be sure, but I think the success rate won't be too low."

"And at times like this, a little luck is often needed."

"But I think..."

"Our luck should be pretty good."

Just kidding!

With Bai Ze's passive aura multiplied by 2, his luck can't be too bad, right?

"Besides, what's the point of saying we'll get involved or not?"

“Brother!”

"Trust me!"

Gatling stared at Lin Fan for a long time.

Finally agreed: "Okay!"

"But you have to promise me that you will erase all traces of yourself and never expose yourself."

Lin Fan nodded: "Of course, after all, I don't want to die."

"Now that we are being targeted by the Buddhist sect, there is really no chance of survival."

"Time is running out, let's get started!"

“···”

Without saying anything, Lin Fan sat cross-legged and began to create a method.

Then···

Gatling Bodhisattva was confused.

"Sudden...enlightenment state?!"

He looked at Lin Fan, who was almost wrapped in the Tao, his whole body was extremely sacred, and he almost turned into the "Tao", and his head was buzzing.

no.

How long has it been?

Your butt hasn’t even warmed up yet after you sat down, right?

Does this mean you have entered the state of enlightenment directly?

Brother, you...

It's a bit against the will of heaven!

No wonder he is so confident!

Then.

Lin Fan spent just half an hour and successfully created a "sealing technique".

It’s not purely original.

Once, he saw someone from another world performing a sealing technique in the Abyss of All Worlds. That person was most likely from the world of “I Shall Seal the Heavens”.

That sealing technique is awesome!

According to that sealing technique, Lin Fan, in a state of sudden enlightenment and with the blessing of super strong understanding, extended in this direction...

In the end, the first seven of the nine demon-sealing taboos were created.

He wanted to get all the nine prohibitions right away, but there was not enough time.

The Nine Demon-Sealing Prohibitions become more and more outrageous and difficult as you progress further. The time required to create a new method will increase exponentially.

The seventh taboo of the Demon Sealing Technique: the ban on cause and effect, should be enough to deal with the current situation.

All cause and effect can be sealed!

Even the cause and effect are sealed together, so naturally it will not be exposed or detected.

Unless those Buddhas can see through everything without the premise of cause and effect.

But is this possible?

Lin Fan thought it was impossible.

If you can even "ignore" cause and effect, then what's the point of going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures?

Moreover, if everything can be known without cause and effect, then it would be impossible for me to hide.

From the moment I got involved, it was already clear.

Therefore, the Seventh Taboo of the Demon Sealing Technique is sufficient to deal with this situation.

Can you handle it?

There is no need to talk about that.

Can't handle it? No need to talk about it - it's already clear.

Therefore, Lin Fan did not gamble that he could create the eighth prohibition of the demon seal in the remaining time, but stood up directly: "Okay."

Of course, it would be best if we could create the eighth, ninth or even tenth taboo.

But there is not enough time.

"Brother, how are you preparing?"

Gatling Bodhisattva gave Lin Fan a deep look: "You pervert!"

Lin Fan was surprised: "Brother, what are you saying? I'm trying to find a solution for you, why are you scolding me?"

"I'm praising you!" Gatlin Bodhisattva denied.

Lin Fan: “…”

"I'll take it as a compliment."

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Anyway, have you thought about the conditions under which the memory will be awakened?"

"Twelfth birthday." Gatlin Bodhisattva had already thought about this question.

"Too young, and not suitable for awakening memories."

"It's too big, and it's too late to practice."

"Twelve years old is neither too old nor too young. It's normal for her to be a little scheming. It's not too late to practice. It's just right."

"good!"

Lin Fan immediately made the corresponding preparations, and then formed seals with his hands.
