"Master, you should not have such a treasure on your body. Who gave it to you?" Sun Wukong asked seemingly unwillingly.
Tang Seng guessed that Sun Wukong wanted to ask this question, but Tang Seng didn't care, so he said.
"This is given to me by Dingguang Buddha. I hope you can protect me and reach the West. At that time, the Buddha will pick up the sodium gold hoop for you and let you regain your freedom."
"Okay, it turns out it's him. I looked at his kind face and thought he was a charitable person, but I didn't expect he was so vicious inside! No, I, the old grandson, want to settle the score with him." Sun Wukong became more and more angry as he thought about it.
So I wanted to go to Dingguang Buddha to settle accounts.
But Tang Seng said.
"Are you sure? This is the golden hoop given to me by Dingguang Buddha. Do you think the Buddha doesn't know how to tighten the hoop? If you go, you are just asking for trouble."
Sun Wukong doesn't understand this. He just does it to express his original character.
After listening to Tang Seng's words, Sun Wukong felt as if he had been emptied out of his body. He was discouraged and did not dare to argue with Dingguang Buddha, so he had to turn around and talk to Tang Seng.
"Master! This is his way of punishing me, so that I can teach my old grandson to follow you to the west to obtain scriptures. I will not go to him. I just ask you not to recite this mantra lightly. I, my old grandson, will protect you on your journey to the west and there will be no retreat.
I regret it."
"Master, I promise you that as long as you don't do anything stupid, I will never use this tightening curse." Tang Monk promised Sun Wukong.
"When we get to Xitian Leiyin Temple, I hope the master and the Buddha can remove this thing." Sun Wukong pointed to the golden hoop on his head and said.
"No problem, this is what Dingguang Buddha promised, so there won't be any problem." Tang Seng, his confidant, agreed. He didn't think that his Buddha would break his promise to others.
After the two parties reached an agreement, Tang Seng also ate and drank enough. Then, Tang Seng said.
"Wukong, we're on our way now."
After saying that, Tang Monk rode on horseback, and Sun Wukong cheered up, packed his luggage, and rushed into the city.
Along the way, Tang Monk felt that he had completely conquered Sun Wukong. With Sun Wukong's protection, he felt that he would be able to reach Xitian Leiyin Temple smoothly. He was happy in his heart, but he never noticed Sun Wukong's sarcastic look hidden deep in his eyes.
In fact, Sun Wukong is a person who values love. This can be seen from Niu Bei and others, and it can also be seen from Sun Wukong's mercy when he caused trouble in heaven.
Originally, if Buddhism had truly won over him, Sun Wukong would have been conquered by them sooner or later. Even when Bodhi taught him the immortal method, if he could be honest, Sun Wukong would never be like this, and he would definitely be devoted to Buddhism.
However, after the incident involving the cheating of the immortal magic, and now the use of coercive means such as a tight curse to ban Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong has been completely angered.
If Sun Wukong had been weakened by five hundred years of suppression like in Journey to the West, he would have surrendered to Buddhism without the strength to resist the tight curse.
But now, because of Zhou Cheng, the 500 years since Sun Wukong was suppressed have made Sun Wukong's magic power greatly improved, and his will has become more determined. How could he succumb?
It was almost sunset before Sun Wukong and Tang Seng arrived at their destination. They couldn't wait to use the teleportation array to reach the other side of the city.
After arriving here, the sun completely set. Sun Wukong and Tang Seng could not hurry on their way and came to an inn.
Sun Wukong and Tang Seng had already experienced a lot on this day. Sun Wukong didn't think anything of it, but Tang Seng couldn't stand it anymore.
After the two arrived at the inn, the others were a little surprised at the beginning when they saw the combination of Tang Monk and Sun Wukong, but in the end they became accustomed to it.
After all, the human race is still strong, and they are not afraid of any ethnic group going wild in the human race country and killing everyone.
This makes all monsters and monsters generally afraid to appear in human cities, let alone act recklessly in human cities.
However, some humans will also cooperate with the demon clan. As long as the demon clan and other ethnic groups stay safe in the human city, nothing will happen.
Therefore, when people in the inn saw Sun Wukong and Tang Seng, they thought it was a collaboration between a monk and a monster, and were not too surprised.
Although there were not as many people in the inn at this time as there were at noon, there were still quite a few people.
After Tang Seng and Sun Wukong asked for a guest room, they went to the hall to wait for dinner.
However, after Tang Seng and Sun Wukong sat down, Sun Wukong heard the guests around him talking about something.
"Did you know? Something happened at Lingyuan Temple." Lu Renjia said.
"Such a big thing has been spread throughout the city, but no one there knows yet." Lu Renyi said disdainfully.
"Yes, such a big thing happened in Lingyuan Temple. As the largest temple nearby, everyone knew about it as soon as it happened." Lu Renjia nodded and said.
"I just don't know if the treasure of Lingyuan Temple has been found. I heard that after the fire in Lingyuan Temple, there was a battle that destroyed the world. This is the treasure of Lingyuan Temple that has disappeared.
The reason." Lu Renyi said.
"That's right, someone should have deliberately set a fire in Lingyuan Temple to cause chaos, and then took the opportunity to steal Lingyuan Temple's temple-protecting treasure. Otherwise, so many masters in Lingyuan Temple would not have caused fires for no reason!" Lu Ren
Jia Shen said with approval.
"But that person probably didn't want to offend Lingyuan Temple. I heard that he didn't kill a single monk in Lingyuan Temple. He did it very lightly. I don't know if it's true or not." Lu Renyi said again.
"It's true, but what you said is wrong. You don't want to offend Lingyuan Temple, but you stole Lingyuan Temple's treasure. Isn't that offending Lingyuan Temple? Lingyuan Temple is already with that person.
It won’t stop.” Lu Renjia said.
"Maybe this is the reason why Lingyuan Temple has been searching for the thief in the city these days. There seems to be no possibility of reconciliation between the two parties." Lu Renyi thought for a while and said.
"Yes, unless the thief returns the treasure of Lingyuan Temple, then there can be no discussion." Lu Renjia retorted.
"I asked you to tell me everything, so tell me what the thief threw into Lingyuan Temple? Is it worthy of Lingyuan Temple saying that it is the treasure of the temple?" Lu Renyi said unhappily.
"I really know this. If I said, this meal..." Lu Renjia seemed to be waiting for Lu Renyi's words.
"Stop talking nonsense, if you really know, tell me, I'll treat you to this meal." Lu Renyi knew what Lu Renjia was paying attention to, so he said directly.
"Shuang Kuang, in fact, it is not a precious thing to us, but it is extremely precious to Lingyuan Temple. The treasure of the temple is said to be a Buddhist calligraphy left by the Buddha in the world. Someone in Lingyuan Temple used this Buddhist calligraphy to learn from it.
I have understood profound Buddhist teachings, but I don’t know whether it is true or false.” Lu Renjia said.
Hearing this, Sun Wukong was suddenly surprised. He did not expect that he would encounter such an unexpected incident just after arriving here.
This asked them, master and disciple, how to find the Buddhist scriptures and how to complete their journey to the west.
Sun Wukong immediately reported the matter to Tang Seng. After hearing this, Tang Seng became anxious and asked the two people on the spot.
Finally, Sun Wukong said.
"Master, everyone in the city knows about this, which means that what happened in Lingyuan Temple is true. When we go there tomorrow, we will be able to know whether it is true or not. Asking them now is just unnecessary."
After hearing this, Tang Seng agreed, but Tang Seng was still a little anxious in his heart.
Tang Monk and Sun Wukong did not expect that they would encounter such a problem at the first Buddhist post they came to.
