Journey to the West: Starting from Changing Sun Wukong's fate-Chapter 35 - I Was Actually Tricked by a Monkey
35: Chapter 35 I Was Actually Tricked by a Monkey
35 -35 I Was Actually Tricked by a Monkey
Patriarch Bodhi had been solely concerned about how to teach Sun Wukong cultivation, but now he couldn’t even send him away?
Just at this moment, a powerful presence spread out.
At the same time, above the void, ripples appeared and a figure emerged.
It was Zhunti.
“I am already aware of the happenings!”
Zhunti sat cross-legged on the Lotus Platform, brought his hands together and recited the Buddhist invocation, “Amitabha Buddha!”
“I have seen you, Fellow Daoist, but I do not know what to do about this matter?”
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Bodhi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a frown.
He and Zhunti were one and the same; naturally, he knew what was happening.
“It’s simple!”
Zhunti’s expression was calm.
After all, when it came to shamelessness in this Primordial Continent, he was unparalleled.
How could it be difficult to send someone away?
He had obviously already had a plan.
“Fellow Daoist, please speak!”
Hearing Zhunti speak so confidently, Patriarch Bodhi also relaxed a bit.
Sun Wukong was the one destined to initiate the Calamity of Measurement in the Journey to the West; if Wukong did not go down, it would greatly affect the calamity.
Otherwise, he would not be so troubled.
Now that Zhunti had spoken like this, he clearly had a strategy.
Moreover, after two failures, Patriarch Bodhi was at a loss for what to do.
Zhunti raised his hand and gestured, and a treasure materialized above the void.
This object was a Demon-Subduing Pestle, radiating Buddha’s light, exceedingly powerful.
Then, the pestle described an arc and landed in the hands of Patriarch Bodhi.
Patriarch Bodhi looked at the object and said with some surprise, “I do not know the meaning of this item?”
“In a moment, you will call for that Stone Monkey and have him deliver this to the Great Thunderclap Monastery.
Along the way, I, the poor monk, will naturally make my move.
With such a treasure, given that monkey’s nature, he is bound to claim it for his own.
Regardless of whether he goes to deliver it, or if he embezzles it for himself, both outcomes can eject that Macaque!”
Zhunti spoke slowly.
At this stage where Sun Wukong possessed no treasures, any treasure could presumably attract the monkey.
Likely, the monkey would flee with the treasure.
Even if he went to deliver it, it wouldn’t matter, as Zhunti would make his move regardless.
“Indeed, this could work!”
Patriarch Bodhi nodded.
He too believed that Sun Wukong would probably pocket the treasure for himself.
“This Stone Monkey is the chosen protagonist for the Calamity of Measurement in the Journey to the West; the matter is of great significance and must not suffer any negligence.
Although it is beneath our dignity to act in this manner, in order to ensure the smooth unfolding of the calamity, we must set aside all other concerns!”
After Zhunti finished speaking, his figure turned into specks of spiritual light and then disappeared in the meditation room.
Patriarch Bodhi looked at the Demon-Subduing Pestle in his hand.
Although he also felt that this method was undignified, he had no other option.
At that moment, he let the boy give the pestle to Sun Wukong, instructing him to deliver it to the Western Great Thunderclap Monastery.
“Brother Wukong, this is an item that the Honorable Master has asked you to deliver to the Western Great Thunderclap Monastery!”
Upon seeing Sun Wukong, the boy handed the Demon-Subduing Pestle to him.
Sun Wukong looked at the pestle in the boy’s hands and his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
The pestle shone with golden light, and Buddha’s light and Immortal Qi swirled around it; it was clearly a powerful treasure.
If it were before, he might have been very excited, but now…
He understood that this must be a scheme of Patriarch Bodhi.
Although he did not know the reason, Sun Wukong decided he should not make any mistakes.
No matter how good the treasure was, if he lost his life over it, that would be a great loss indeed.
“Brother, this matter is of utmost importance.
The Honorable Master wants you to deliver it promptly, without any delay!”
The boy admonished.
As for why Patriarch Bodhi seemed to be targeting Wang Yang recently, that was something he couldn’t concern himself with. freewёbnoνel.com
Afterward, the boy turned and left.
As for when Sun Wukong would deliver the staff, that had nothing to do with him anymore.
In the entire meditation room, only Sun Wukong remained, looking at the Demon-Subduing Pestle in his hand.
“It looks like I need to deliver it quickly!”
Sun Wukong wasn’t worried about delivering it; with his Escape Skill, he could cover a million miles in an instant and arrive in just a moment.
However, since Patriarch Bodhi had asked him to deliver it, there must be some unexpected event bound to happen.
Sun Wukong’s figure flickered, and another silhouette appeared beside him.
It was identical to Sun Wukong in every way, not just in cultivation level and aura, but even in every smile and frown.
Even Wang Yang, if present, would be unable to discern which was the real Sun Wukong.
“Let’s go!”
Soon after, one figure dashed out of the meditation room and vanished into the horizon, while the other had already disappeared without a trace.
Just as Sun Wukong left the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, Patriarch Bodhi also noticed, and a smile crossed his lips.
“The macaque has set off.
It just remains to be seen whether he will deliver it to the Western Direction or abscond with the treasure.”
Patriarch Bodhi murmured to himself but then no longer concerned himself with the matter.
After all, if his true form took care of this affair, then naturally, he could rest easy.
With the divine skills of a Saint to know everything in an instant, even if Sun Wukong possessed tremendous abilities, he likely wouldn’t conceive of completing this task.
Sun Wukong, rest assured and commence your Journey to the West!
…
It was while Sun Wukong left the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave.
In the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, deep within the Posa Pure Land, Amitabha Buddha slowly opened his eyes and said, “That monkey has already left the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, dear brother, the subsequent matters will trouble you to take action.”
Typically, the Tathagata could have taken action, but since this matter was of great importance, to avoid any accidents, Buddha Mother Zhunti personally intervened.
“Amitabha Buddha, it shall be so!”
After Zhunti chanted the Buddha’s name, she then locked onto Sun Wukong’s aura.
At that moment, Sun Wukong was Riding the Clouds and Fog, traveling above Nine Heavens.
Although his speed was swift, it was just the speed of a typical Immortal.
Gesturing in a curious manner as he scratched his ears and cheeks while looking around at the surrounding mountains, he appeared quite curious.
“I didn’t expect this monkey to truly intend to deliver the Demon-Subduing Pestle to the Western Heaven!”
Zhunti was somewhat surprised, but since that was the case, she had no choice but to intervene.
Zhunti raised her hand and, in an instant, transported a massive mountain, which then appeared above Sun Wukong’s head.
“Hm?
What’s that?”
Sun Wukong seemed to notice something and abruptly looked up, only to see a large mountain bearing down on him in an instant.
With a thunderous boom!
Sun Wukong’s mana surged through his body as he prepared to leave, but found the space around him as if frozen solid, unable to move in the slightest.
“I didn’t expect this monkey to be so vigilant, ready to flee at the first sign of trouble.
However, unluckily for him, since I have intervened, how could this monkey hope to escape!”
Zhunti’s face bore a smile that wasn’t quite a smile as she waved her hand, and the massive mountain fell instantly, pressing straight down upon Sun Wukong.
With a great crash.
Right as the massive mountain fell and was about to suppress Sun Wukong, he suddenly dissipated into smoke, transforming into a single Monkey Fur.
Zhunti reached out and grabbed it, furrowing her brows as she looked at the Monkey Fur in her hand.
She had clearly seen Sun Wukong leave the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, and if this was merely a transformation, she shouldn’t have been unable to see through it, but now…
Zhunti looked at the Monkey Fur in her hand, falling into deep confusion.
Could it be that she was deceived by the macaque?
