Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 602: The Truth About Wowo Village

Character Interface!

Seeing the Little Monk Liaoxin in front of him, Jiang Liu silently recited a phrase in his heart and opened the other person's character interface to take a look.

Alright, compared to liaokong's Level 72 blue UI, Little Monk Liaoxin's level was quite a bit lower. Although it was also a blue UI, the level was only 62. He had just stepped into the realm of a Heavenly Immortal.

Of course, according to the Buddhist Sect, this would mean he had barely stepped into the realm of an Arhat.

"Amitabha, today I intentionally waited here for Master Xuanzang for just one reason!"

Liaoxin didn't bother with additional words and spoke directly to Jiang Liu, "My elder brother Liaokong, you must have already met him, right? He also gave you a Marrow-Cleansing Glazed Pill, didn't he?"

Hearing Liaoxin's words, Jiang Liu's brows furrowed slightly.

The matter of discussing elixirs with Liaokong had not put him at a disadvantage; it was merely an exchange of what was needed. And about receiving the Marrow-Cleansing Glazed Pill, Jiang Liu believed he had not suffered a loss either.

However, why had Little Monk Liaoxin been hiding just outside the village, deliberately informing him about the Colored Glaze pill?

Was his previous guess correct? Liaokong giving him such a precious pill was not an impromptu decision but a premeditated plan?

"You mean to say, that Marrow-Cleansing Glazed Pill was something that was planned in advance to be given to me?"

After a brief moment of silence, Jiang Liu feigned a look of just realizing the situation and expressed his shock.

"Indeed, Master Xuanzang, this matter was indeed calculated in advance!" Seeing Jiang Liu's shocked expression, Little Monk Liaoxin believed he had achieved his goal and nodded in confirmation.

"Why!?" His brow still lightly furrowed, Jiang Liu looked at Liaoxin with surprise and asked, "What is Liaokong's purpose in giving me the Marrow-Cleansing Glazed Pill?"

"It seems that my elder brother can really keep his composure, eh? He gave you the pill but didn't state his purpose? Actually, my elder brother's objective is aimed at the Healing Potion in your hands, Master Xuanzang," Liaoxin candidly responded to Jiang Liu's inquiry.

"The Healing Potion? So, it was for this!" Jiang Liu pondered to himself for a moment before nodding in realization.

Sun Wukong's battle with Master Leizhen, invincible with potions. The Healing Potion had caught the attention of various big shots; Jiang Liu knew this.

At that time, he even thought he had tricked Supreme Elder Lord a little, causing some friction between Tathagata Buddha and Supreme Elder Lord.

Today, King Buddha of healers could not resist anymore, wanting to pry the Healing Potion from his hands; this was nothing strange.

"Why are you telling me all this!?" Now that he understood the truth, Jiang Liu's gaze turned back to Little Monk Liaoxin and he asked.

"This..." Jiang Liu's reaction was somewhat unexpected for Liaoxin.

He originally thought that upon learning the truth, Xuanzang would definitely be angry, with all his attention on Liaokong. He didn't expect that at this time, his attention would actually be on himself?

Seeing Liaoxin momentarily at a loss for words, Jiang Liu secretly smiled to himself.

"If I'm not mistaken, you and Liaokong should be brothers in the same sect, right? He comes for my Healing Potion, and yet you secretly hide here and tell me his goal... So, are you trying to undermine his mission? It seems that the relationship between you and your elder brother is not so great!"

"This... this..." Jiang Liu's words made Liaoxin's complexion turn somewhat unsightly, and he found himself at a loss for words.

He wanted to argue and defend himself, but it seemed that anything he said would be in vain.

"Furthermore, our Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team is a major calamity of heaven and earth. The purpose of your actions—are they perhaps also harboring the thought of using us as a weapon to kill, wishing to use our Scripture Seeking Team's knife to help you eliminate Liaokong?"

"No, no, Master, it's not like that, I admire the master, so I didn't want you to be deceived, that's it, my reverence for you!"

When Jiang Liu spoke, revealing the small thoughts that were hidden in Little Monk Liaoxin's heart, Liaoxin was shaken and urgently shaking his head, clumsily defending himself.

Seeing his appearance, Jiang Liu understood that his defense didn't stand firm, and he secretly chuckled.

Outwardly, however, he maintained a calm demeanor and said, "So, what would happen if I were to tell Liaokong about this, or perhaps if I were to tell the Medicine Buddha King?"

"For instance, I go and scold Liaokong fiercely, he actually wanted to covet my Healing Potion, but luckily Junior Brother Liaoxin, you uphold justice, and stepped forward to expose his conspiracy?"

"Holy Monk, Saint, don't speak! Please don't say it; you must not tell my elder brother!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Liaoxin was startled and panicked, urgently pleading.

The Healing Potion was naturally extremely important to his master; otherwise, he would not have specifically expended so much effort to refine a Marrow-Cleansing Glazed Pill to exchange for it.

If his master learned that he had deliberately leaked his plan, his master would surely flay him alive.

Seeing Little Monk Liaoxin's almost tearful and sniveling begging appearance, Jiang Liu purposefully kept silent, waiting for a moment.

Waiting until despair was secretly growing in his heart, only then did Jiang Liu speak up, his face revealing a friendly smile, "Little Monk Liaoxin, your elder brother was just joking with you, haha, look, how frightened you got?"

"Ah? You're, you're joking?" Seeing Jiang Liu's look, the tearful and sniffling Liaoxin was slightly stunned, looking utterly bewildered.

He had just said he was going to accuse him, but now he's saying it was just a joke?

Is that kind of joke even allowed? That joke could scare someone to death, right?

"So Liaokong came to snatch my Healing Potion, and is naturally my enemy!"

"And you waited here specially to tell me this truth, so of course you are my friend now, right?"

"Tell me, would I have any reason to help an enemy and harm my own friend? Right?"

"Ah? That seems to make sense!"

After pondering over Jiang Liu's analysis for a moment, Liaoxin nodded his head, feeling that Jiang Liu hadn't said anything wrong, and probably didn't have any motive to accuse him, right?

"Since we are friends, of course, I, as your senior brother, will help you. Your goal is to have Liaokong meet his demise, isn't it?" After a slight pause, Jiang Liu softly asked Liaoxin.

"This, this..." Hearing Jiang Liu's forthright question, Liaoxin was momentarily at a loss for words.

Nodding his head wouldn't be right, shaking his head wouldn't be right either; he really had been scared by what Jiang Liu called a joke.

"Don't worry, since we are friends, I will naturally help you!" Seeing that Liaoxin did not immediately shake his head in denial, Jiang Liu understood what he meant, clapped him on the shoulder, appearing quite magnanimous.

"Thank you so much, Holy Monk Xuanzang!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Liaoxin was finally sure that Jiang Liu indeed wanted to help him and said so joyfully.

"However, before I help you, I have one more thing to ask you!" Seeing Liaoxin's reaction, Jiang Liu inwardly chuckled and continued to inquire.

"Senior brother, just ask. Whatever I know, I will spill it all out!"

Feeling that he and Jiang Liu were now on the same side, Liaoxin patted his chest and boasted in a very generous manner.

He had no choice but to be generous. Although Jiang Liu had said it was a joke, through this so-called joke, Liaoxin realized that Jiang Liu had something on him.

"This Wowo Village has been barren for thousands of miles; it hasn't rained for half a year. Whether it's the Local Deity or the Dragon King, no one can find the reason. Do you know anything about this?" Jiang Liu opened his mouth to ask Liaoxin.

When he met with the Local Deity and the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea during the day, he couldn't figure out the reason. Liaokong, although silent, made Jiang Liu feel that he must know the truth.

After all, a being of the 72nd level who had been in Wowo Village for nearly half a year, isn't that too coincidental?

Is it really just a coincidence? Jiang Liu didn't believe it.

Naturally, if he suspected Liaokong knew the truth, then perhaps Liaoxin, as his junior brother from the same sect, might know something?

"This, I actually do know!"

Hearing Jiang Liu ask about the barren state of Wowo Village, Liaoxin nodded and answered.

This response made Sun Wukong and the others beside him look at each other in disbelief—this little monk really knew!?

Even the Local Deity and the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea couldn't find the reason, but he actually knew?

"This time, the situation in Wowo Village has actually been orchestrated by Bodhisattva Guanyin. The purpose is to add a hardship for your Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team. So, from the Great Thunder Monastery, they released a Drought Demon that had been imprisoned for a thousand years into Wowo Village!"

"Once the Drought Demon appeared, for thousands of miles, the land turned barren and there was no rain all year round. That is the reason for the current state of Wowo Village!"

"My master, Medicine Buddha, knew about these things that Bodhisattva Guanyin was doing, so thinking of the barren state of Wowo Village and the suffering of its people, he sent my senior brother to come here during this hardship to heal and treat the people, attracting the attention of Master Xuanzang, thereby scheming to obtain a Healing Elixir from you!"

Perhaps it was because Jiang Liu had leverage over him, or maybe because he now felt aligned with Jiang Liu, but Liaoxin was truly open, spilling everything he knew to Jiang Liu.

"So that's what has been going on! The truth of the matter is this!"

After listening to Liaoxin's words, Jiang Liu nodded secretly, now understanding the situation.

"Alright, now that I know about this, what about Liaokong? Ask me for help," Jiang Liu said to Liaoxin after nodding.

"Ah? Ask you for help?" Completely confused, Liaoxin didn't understand at all.

Their understanding was mutual; why did he have to explicitly ask for help?

"Life needs a sense of ritual!" Clearing his throat, Jiang Liu responded.
