"Monkey, why are you here with me instead of going to protect Monk Tang on his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures?" Guanyin naturally knew what the monkey was here for, but she still had to go through the necessary scenes, otherwise how could... ahem, how could she advance the plot.
Sun Wukong showed a bitter look on his face and narrated the events of Qijue City. Of course, the monkey only talked about the pitiful parts, highlighting the sufferings of Tang Monk and his unwillingness to pay for the meal.
Guanyin shook her head and said, "You naughty monkey, don't lie to me. Since you have committed a crime, you deserve this. It is useless to cry to me."
Sun Wukong repeatedly said, "What the Bodhisattva said is right, but it is really unbearable for me to see my master suffer."
"If you had been filial and listened to Tang Seng, he wouldn't have suffered!"
Sun Wukong didn't dare to continue talking about this, and changed the topic to say, "Bodhisattva, who is the city lord? When I made friends with other monsters and made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, I had never heard of his name. To be frustrating, the bird monster is so powerful that I have never seen anyone more powerful than him."
Guanyin called out a Buddhist name: "I don't know the origin of the demon king of Qijue City. I only know that he has great magical powers and his abilities are rarely seen in the world."
"But this..."

"Buddha……"
The monkey was wrong. It was not that the Heavenly Court was afraid of Duke, but that the Jade Emperor did not want to take care of this matter at all. If it had not been for the failure of the encirclement and suppression that year, he would have to show up this time. He would have sent at most 5,000 troops. Now the Jade Emperor is waiting for Li Tianwang to be defeated, and Tathagata will call Duke back. He wants the Heavenly Court to be a stepping stone for Buddhism, but it is impossible.
On the heavenly side, the most capable fighter is Sun Wukong. Apart from him, there are only three or five stars and Li Tianwang.
Sun Wukong left Luojia Mountain, feeling that Guanyin Bodhisattva did not save him, so he thought about it and went to heaven again. The Jade Emperor was in charge of all the affairs of the Three Realms, so he had no time to care about the monkey, so he asked the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li to go down to the mortal world and send the monkey away.
Guanyin drove Sun Wukong away and raised her hand to calculate. At first, she was worried that Duke had kidnapped Tang Seng and would roast him and eat him, but later she was relieved to see that Tang Seng's life was safe.
Zhu Bajie was slacking off every day, and Sha Seng did the hardest and most tiring work for him. He was somewhat moved by what he saw, but more of a shame. After drinking a large bowl of water, he rested for a while and then got up to work again.
Snake Queen looked at the sky full of clouds, feeling uneasy: "My king, that Tang Monk is indeed a disaster star. I have only detained him for two days, and he has attracted the heavenly soldiers and generals. It is better to release him to avoid the disaster of the military strategists."
As for the road construction... Guanyin felt that there was nothing wrong with Tang Seng being trapped in Qijue City and doing hard labor. In the early years, the Buddha arranged 81 difficulties, and Tang Seng should have one of them on Qijue Mountain. Moreover, although the difficulty Tang Seng was going through was a little different from the one arranged by the Buddha, it was basically the same.
From the time the heavenly soldiers and generals surrounded Qi Jue Mountain to their defeat and retreat, it took no more than a stick of incense, so fast that Sun Wukong began to doubt his life as a monkey.
…
Duke charged into the formation, brandishing a black spear. He was truly unstoppable and charged forward as if he was in an empty space. After a few moves, he completely broke up the formation.
In the hall, Duke saw the clouds rolling in the sky, and he knew that the Heavenly Court had sent out troops. He was very familiar with this scene. Judging from the posture, there must be 100,000... uh, why are there only 10,000 Heavenly Soldiers? Duke was confused. When the Heavenly Court called up the troops, 50,000 Heavenly Soldiers set up a net and returned empty-handed. Are these 10,000 Heavenly Soldiers here to send food or to show off their cuteness?
This difficulty is neither difficult nor simple, in order to let Tang Seng abandon money and material desires and stabilize his Buddhist mind! Now the red-scaled python has transformed because of Duke, although it is very different from the arrangement of the Buddha, Tang Seng still went through her difficulty because of money. If it is not due to fate, Guanyin will not believe it.
"You should go back now. This is destined to happen to Tang Monk. I cannot save him."
The last and final point is that Du Ke is a tough guy and can get through this hardship without any fight, so just let him get through it!
The monkey's face was even more bitter: "I still ask the Bodhisattva to show us a clear way. How can Tang Seng's mortal body stand the hard labor of building a road? If we continue to build it, I'm afraid it will fall apart."
Duke smiled and said, "Why should we let Tang Seng go? The monkey was wrong first, and then he refused to admit his guilt. As a master, he can never be in the right!"
…
Or is it that the bird demon is so powerful that even the Heavenly Court is afraid of him?
Tota-Bearing Heavenly King Li shook his head. His most powerful magic weapons were his three sons, but he didn't bring any of them out today. He only let the stars each bring two thousand heavenly soldiers to form a formation to surround and kill Duke.
"My king, be careful!"
Zhu Bajie rolled his eyes and said, "Master, you don't know that the city lord is very vicious, not as kind as you think. Remember the Scorpion Fairy from the West Liang Women's Kingdom? She was such a beautiful fairy, but he chopped her into three pieces without blinking an eye."
Guanyin was silent for a while, then slowly said: "It is better to build roads. If you don't build roads, how can you save yourself? If you can't even save yourself, how can you save the world!"
Sha Monk: "Second Brother, what you said is absolutely right!"
When Duke was born in the early years and the Heavenly Court sent troops to encircle and suppress him, the Jade Emperor felt that Duke's origin was not simple and was probably related to Buddhism. Now the more he looked at it, the more it seemed. Why didn't Guanyin Bodhisattva take action? The reason was very simple. Let the Heavenly Court take the lead first, and then Buddhism came out to show its presence. The monsters that the Heavenly Court couldn't take down, they were easily subdued by Buddhism. When people heard this, they would only think that Buddhism had great supernatural powers.
The red-scaled python on the Qi Jue Mountain represents the insatiable greed of human beings and the endless pursuit of profit. The giant python is huge but its cultivation is too low to transform. It tells Tang Seng that if you only pursue profit and live for money, your desires will inevitably be insatiable. No matter how great your ability is, you will not be able to achieve the right result and will eventually become an animal, not even a human being.
The monkey was speechless. There were only 10,000 heavenly soldiers. This was too perfunctory. Could it be that the Heavenly Court was just like Guanyin Bodhisattva and would not help?
"It's okay, just a few clouds, I'll go and disperse them right away."
At this time, clouds rolled in the sky, and the rumbling of war drums sounded, pressing directly towards Qi Jue City. Tang Seng was stunned, not knowing what was going on. Zhu Bajie laughed loudly, dropped the hammer in his hand, and kicked away the little demon who was supervising the work. "Master, Monkey King has called the heavenly soldiers to save us!"
Li Tianwang was used to taking the blame, and he understood his leader's intention very well. It was just a formality, so he immediately called upon 10,000 heavenly soldiers and marched towards Qi Jue Mountain in a mighty force.
In an instant, boundless demonic energy rose, and a black cloud column reached the sky and the underworld, directly tearing the formation of 10,000 heavenly soldiers apart. The magic mirror erected in the center of the formation was shattered by the demonic energy, frightening the 10,000 heavenly soldiers, and their morale was low, making the formation even more chaotic.
"Hahaha, how's the saying going? You go warm up a pot of wine, I'll be back soon." Duke laughed and flew into the sky.
Tang Seng was even more angry after hearing this: "The Scorpion Demon has committed many evil deeds. The city lord killed her for the sake of reputation, so how can he be called evil? Moreover, the city lord was not seduced by beauty, which only proves that he is a man of integrity. How can you, an idiot, not be able to distinguish right from wrong and confuse right and wrong to slander him?"
Zhu Bajie clapped his hands and said, "Okay, there's nothing more to say. Tang Seng has been drugged by the monster."
Zhu Bajie was about to take the tool from Tang Seng's hand, but Tang Seng refused to obey and shouted angrily: "I deserve this misfortune. That monkey did not reflect on his mistakes, but instead asked for heavenly soldiers and generals. The city lord protects an area. If something happens to him, how can I explain to the people in the city?"
Several stars were also very smart people. They shouted fiercely, fought and retreated, and were chased by Duke. Ten thousand heavenly soldiers were defeated in an instant. Li Tianwang saw that the situation was not good, and he did not even drop the exquisite pagoda in his hand. He shouted that the demons were arrogant and ordered the whole army to retreat.
Back at the Qi Jue Mountain, Tang Monk could no longer bear it. He was the vegetarian and Buddhist Tang Sanzang, not the physical Tang Sanzang. He had been building the road for two days relying entirely on his willpower, and his body could not take it any longer.
Of course, he was not stupid. He did not rush to Duke to deliver the food, but ran away with Li Tianwang.
Below, Zhu Bajie was waving flags and shouting, but just after he roared twice, the Heavenly Court was defeated, and his eyeballs almost fell to the ground.
Zhu Bajie was just lamenting that he couldn't understand his colleagues' tricks after not working in the Heaven Palace for a few days. He saw the little demon he kicked coming towards him viciously. Bajie was also a smart man. He took the initiative to pick up the whip on the ground and handed it to the little demon, and at the same time dug a piece of silver from his ear.
"Brother, we are all trying to make a living, so please don't make things difficult for me, and hit me lightly!"
