Chapter 866: Demon King Sun Wukong



After receiving the reminder, Du Qian and Chen Xuanzang immediately set off for Wuzhi Mountain.

Wujing, who had already threatened to follow the two of them, naturally followed them as well.

As for Miss Duan, Chen Xuanzang originally planned to leave quietly without telling her, but unfortunately, Miss Duan was not fighting alone, she also had people from a village waiting outside the city.

When Du Qian and Chen Xuanzang left the city, Dasha, Ersha and others who were waiting outside the city immediately informed their own leader.

Miss Duan got the news and chased after them with a large group of people.

The journey to Wuzhi Mountain is very long, and it is not as easy as in the movies to get there in a flash.

Along the way, Du Qian and his party climbed over three mountains, crossed two large rivers, passed through seven large cities and countless villages.

During this period, they also accepted some missions to exorcise demons, but they were basically small monsters with little magical powers, some of which even Chen Xuanzang himself could deal with.

During this process, Miss Duan's mentality gradually changed.

If she was curious about Du Qian at the beginning, now she has kept her distance from Du Qian, who sometimes goes crazy, and instead has a good impression of Chen Xuanzang, who seems mediocre and incompetent but actually has great courage and compassion.

Of course, that’s what he said, but Du Qian always felt that Buddhism was behind it.

After all, Lin Zhongtian had already told him that Miss Duan was indeed the incarnation of Bodhisattva Guanyin.

Buddhism needs such a character to help Chen Xuanzang realize that there is no difference between great love and small love in the world...

Thinking of this, Du Qian's face couldn't help but become silent.

He had already learned the attitude of the Time Travelers Alliance from Lin Zhongtian.

That is to maintain the previous friendly understanding with Buddhism and not interfere with each other.

Buddhism has never interfered with the behavior of the alliance's reserve members, and the alliance will not interfere with Buddhism's plan to travel to the West in this world.

In other words, if Du Qian intended to maintain this tacit understanding, he would have to watch Chen Xuanzang and Miss Duan fall in love, and then watch Miss Duan being beaten to death by Sun Wukong, so that Chen Xuanzang could see his true nature and obtain the true scriptures.

But...is it really necessary to do so?

On the deserted mountain road, Du Qian looked at Chen Xuanzang and Miss Duan who were quarreling in front of him, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He finally had a deeper understanding of Lin Zhongtian's solemn questioning before the showdown.

Before learning the truth, Du Qian had no ties other than the troupe. He could rely on those outrageous system powers to interfere with the plot of the movie at will and play however he wanted.

But now, knowing the existence and attitude of the Time Travelers' Alliance, Du Qian's hands and feet are restricted.

Before doing anything, he subconsciously thought carefully from the perspective of the alliance...

"I should have waited until the plot was over before asking for the truth!"

Du Qian sighed in his heart: "Brother Lin seems to be a person who protects his shortcomings. As long as I don't know, he will definitely protect me even if I really interfere with the Buddhist plan of the Journey to the West. But now that I know everything, it's not good to make trouble anymore..."

In this way, the group of people with different thoughts finally arrived at Wuzhi Mountain and found the old temple at the foot of the mountain.

The fat monk said that there was a Buddha statue in front of the old temple, which was 1,300 feet high and 256 feet wide. Such a huge Buddha statue should be visible from a hundred miles away.

However, Du Qian and others did not find any trace of Buddha statues until they entered the temple.

The entire dilapidated temple only had a thatched hut and a small courtyard with a stone well in the courtyard.

Du Qian walked to the well and looked up. On the inner wall of the well were four inverted Chinese characters. Through the reflection on the water, one could clearly recognize their true appearance - Mirror Flowers and Water Moons!

This is what is called a clue.

While the characters Chen Xuanzang and Miss Duan were still frowning in thought, Du Qian, who already knew the plot, had already arrived in front of the courtyard and looked up at the clear blue lake next to the Five Finger Mountain.

The continuous mountains are reflected in the lake, presenting a huge mirror-symmetrical Buddha statue with his hands clasped together, sitting on a lotus platform.

If this reclining Buddha statue were stood up, it would be exactly 1,300 zhang tall and 256 zhang wide, exactly as the fat monk had described.

Chen Xuanzang was indeed a wise man. After seeing the four words "Mirror Flower and Water Moon", he seemed to understand something. He hurriedly walked out of the yard, stood with Du Qian, and looked at the lake in front of them.

“…Found it!”

Chen Xuanzang suddenly exclaimed in surprise, pointing to the mountain in the distance and said, "The Buddha statue is right there!"

Miss Duan came over quickly and looked at the direction Chen Xuanzang pointed in confusion. After a moment, she suddenly realized what was going on and said with admiration, "It is indeed a Buddha statue that is 1,300 feet tall and 256 feet wide!"

"Xuanzang, you can figure this out, you are so smart!"

Chen Xuanzang's old face flushed, he shook his head, turned to look at Du Qian and said, "Donor Du should have discovered it a long time ago, right?"

Du Qian glanced at them and said nothing. He just took a step forward and said, "Let's go to the Buddha Statue Mountain and find the place where Sun Wukong was sealed."

Looking at Du Qian's back, Chen Xuanzang was slightly startled, and then he and Miss Duan looked at each other in surprise.

He quickly chased after him and asked in confusion, "Master Du, what happened to you?"

Miss Duan also echoed: "Yes, along the way, I always felt that you seemed to be worried..."

At this point, Miss Duan paused, then said with a strange look on her face: "You...are you jealous of me?"

Du Qian didn't want to answer this question at first, but when he heard Miss Duan's words, he staggered and kicked a gap in the threshold of the courtyard gate.

"Ah! It is so!"

Miss Duan chuckled, with a look that said, "How could you have such an idea?"

Du Qian rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "What are you talking about!"

"I'm just worried about the whereabouts of the black jade. That thing is a treasure given to me by Brother Lin..."

Brother Lin?

Chen Xuanzang asked curiously, "Who is that donor Lin?"

Du Qian shook his head: "It's hard for me to say, anyway, he is a very powerful character."

While chatting, everyone walked down the hillside and headed towards the Buddha statue mountain.

Soon, the group arrived at the highest point of the Buddha Statue Mountain, which is the edge of the lotus platform at the bottom of the Buddha statue.

There, everyone saw a lotus pond with lush branches and leaves, layers of green leaves, dotted with white lotus flowers. A breeze blew past, and the lotus flowers and green leaves suddenly parted slightly like the surface of the water, bringing a refreshing fragrance.

"There is a lotus pond in a place like this, it must be the power of the Buddha!"

Chen Xuanzang spoke with a firm tone and immediately began to search in the lotus pond.

Soon, he found a narrow cave entrance. Outside the cave entrance, a lotus was growing, just blocking the entrance.

Chen Xuanzang parted the lotus and looked inside.

At this moment, Du Qian grabbed his wrist and said seriously, "Sun Wukong is vicious and cunning, and has been suppressed by the Buddha under the mountain for five hundred years. He has a deep hatred for Buddhism. You are a disciple of Mahayana Buddhism, and it is very likely that he will take his anger out on you."

"Let me go meet him first!"

Chen Xuanzang hesitated: "This..."

Miss Duan next to her said, "What are you afraid of? Let's go down together!"

After saying that, she immediately jumped into the cave and landed on the ground.

Du Qian looked deeply at Miss Duan's back, then sighed, grabbed Chen Xuanzang and fell into the cave together.

As soon as they landed, a figure immediately came over anxiously, circling around the three of them. His face, which looked sickly pale due to not seeing the sun for many years, was filled with a perverted smile.

"Hey, it's finally here!"

"hey-hey……"

Du Qian quickly took a step back and looked at the figure with vigilance.

"Stop, we're here to find Sun Wukong!"

"Sun Wukong? I, I am him!"

The man stopped in front of the three people, pointed at himself, and said with a grin, "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, that's me!"

"Are you Sun Wukong?"

Chen Xuanzang looked at the man with surprise. He saw that the man was wearing tattered clothes, and there was no demonic aura on his body, nor any trace of demon in his appearance. He seemed to be just an ordinary middle-aged man.

At this moment, facing the gazes of the three people, Sun Wukong scratched his body and said with a smile: "Sorry, I haven't seen anyone in five hundred years. I'm a little excited... Come on, the three of you, sit down!"

At the enthusiastic invitation of Sun Wukong, Du Qian and the other two sat on the floor of the cave.

Chen Xuanzang looked at him suspiciously and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Is he really Sun Wukong? How come he looks a little different from the image in the legend?"

"Yeah?"

Sun Wukong heard Chen Xuanzang's whisper and quickly explained with a smile: "It's like this. Five hundred years ago, I was still a young Mi Sun. At that time, I had a little conflict with the Buddha, and the Buddha used the Mahavairocana Sutra to beat me down."

"I also realized my mistake, so I locked myself up in such a small place."

"For five hundred years, I have never left the house. I have been studying the principles of the Mahavairocana Sutra here every day. Now, I have digested all the evil in my body and expelled it from my body—"

"Look at me, I don't even look like a demon now!"

Looking at Sun Wukong who was explaining to them sincerely, Du Qian felt a little hesitant.

If it was just to complete the system task, then his best option right now was to watch from the sidelines and let the plot return to the movie.

But is this really what he wants?

Looking at the still chattering Sun Wukong, Du Qian suddenly sighed, stood up, pointed at the human-like Sun Wukong in front of him, and activated the system's magical power - [Learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses]!

In an instant, an incomparably terrifying force burst out from his body.

The rolling demonic energy flowed through his limbs and bones, constantly tempering his body, making it become tempered and indestructible.

At the same time, Sun Wukong, who was chattering, stopped abruptly. His dark eyes suddenly turned to Du Qian. Golden light burst out of his eyes, like two sharp swords, shooting towards Du Qian in front of him.

"…Boy, what did you do?"

Words filled with shock, anger, and grimness came from Sun Wukong's mouth and echoed throughout the entire cave.
