Zhunti was stunned!
Listening to the monkey's incessant complaints about Tang Sanzang, Zhunti's expression shifted. He really wanted to remind the monkey that he and Tang Sanzang were on the same side!
However, When he heard about Tang Sanzang letting the bandits who had robbed and killed go free, which resulted in the monkey's benefactor's entire family being brutally murdered by those same bandits, Zhunti quickly swallowed the words he was about to say.
Damn it!
Who on earth chose Jin Chanzi, that idiot, to go on the pilgrimage?
Did they really think Buddhism was about compassion?
What a joke!
Buddhism's external propaganda did indeed emphasize compassion, even preaching against killing lightly, lest one end up in hell.
But weren't those just empty words?
Think about it!
If Buddhism were filled with such enlightened monks who didn't kill, how could they unify the West? How could they resist the invasions of the demon tribes?
Relying on their words alone?
Even if they were willing to talk, those brutish, simple-minded demons wouldn't give them the chance to speak!
With this thought, before Sun Wukong could finish speaking, Zhunti angrily interrupted, "How can this Jin Chanzi be so reckless?"
"Back then, after much pleading, I chose you to protect him on his journey west. How dare he treat you like this?!"
"Huh??"
Sun Wukong's words stopped abruptly. He looked up at Zhunti in astonishment.
"Master, you knew about this?"
"Otherwise?"
Zhunti shrugged, his tone carrying three parts hope and five parts faint pride.
"When you wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, if the Jade Emperor and the others hadn't shown respect to me, would they have let you go so easily?"
"This..."
Sun Wukong's expression froze. After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Master, did Tathagata also know when he suppressed me under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years?"
"..."
Now it was Zhunti's turn to freeze.
Bad!
He forgot about this!
Back then, Tathagata said the monkey's talent was too high and his nature too wild to be tamed. He worried Jin Chanzi wouldn't be able to control him, so he proposed to temper his spirit.
That's how the monkey's havoc in the Heavenly Palace came about.
But what should he say now?
Should he say, "You were disobedient back then, so your master had someone beat you up"?
Don't be ridiculous!
Even if it was a monumental favor, if you kept someone suppressed for five hundred years, they might not even remember your kindness!
With this in mind, Zhunti feigned surprise and stared at the monkey, his voice filled with feigned outrage, "Tathagata actually suppressed you under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years?"
"Outrageous!"
"You wait here, your master will take you to settle this with him now!"
"He dares to bully my disciple like this? Does he really think that just because he's the Buddha, no one can deal with him?"
As he spoke, Zhunti stood up, swept his large hand towards Sun Wukong, and took him towards Spirit Mountain.
It was better that he hadn't come back; now he was completely dumbfounded.
Spirit Mountain?
Where was his massive Spirit Mountain?
It was gone again?
Who kept messing with his Spirit Mountain? If you have the guts, if you have the guts... BOOM!!
Zhunti's thoughts hadn't even finished when he heard loud noises echoing from the chaos, followed by a telepathic message from Jieyin.
Home in danger, return quickly?
Damn it!
Could it be that Tongtian, that son of a bitch, attacked again?
Zhunti hesitated for a moment on the ruins of Spirit Mountain. Finally, he sighed and summoned the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and the Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform, charging into the chaos.
At the same time, Sun Wukong, who had been tucked into Zhunti's sleeve, was now caught in a violent storm of thoughts.
He wasn't stupid!
On the contrary, he was very smart!
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
If he couldn't find any trace of the sect's entrance at first because his Master's cultivation was profound and he hid it, then, When he intentionally or unintentionally revealed that his senior brother died at the hands of the Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong roughly guessed his meaning.
He wanted him to continue opposing the Heavenly Court!
At first, he couldn't figure out why.
Because, in his mind all along, Patriarch Bodhi was definitely on the Heavenly Court's side. Otherwise, how would that bald donkey Tathagata dare to treat him like that?
What kind of decent person would be so ruthless to their own people?
But what he didn't expect was that his own Master was actually a big shot in Buddhism? And one who could discipline Tathagata?
How could this be possible!
Since his Master was part of Buddhism, why did he watch Tathagata bully him?
What?
You say his Master didn't know?
Heh!
He knew about his great havoc in the Heavenly Palace, so how could he not know about the outcome later?
Five hundred years!
How many five-hundred-year periods could a monkey's life have?!
He spent his first five hundred years in despair under the Five Elements Mountain?!
Was this right?
Or, did his Master think he was too unruly, and thus wanted to use Tathagata's hand to punish him?
If that was the case, why did he pretend not to know?
Did he think he was easy to fool?
Or did he take him for an idiot?
Sun Wukong's mind was a mess, filled with disappointment and indignation, but more than anything, it was the dejection of his Master not trusting him.
Once upon a time, he thought his Master was the person who understood him best in the world, and the one who treated him the best.
But now?
It seemed everything was intertwined with cause and effect, and even his future was planned by someone else.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable!
Who was he?
He was the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, who roamed the heavens and earth, free and unfettered!
Not anyone's toy!
And certainly not that silly monkey who couldn't escape from someone's palm!!!
Just as Sun Wukong was gradually darkening and even losing control, a soft exclamation sounded in his ear.
Then came a feeling like the world was spinning.
"Plop~!"
Along with the sensation of weightlessness, the scene before his eyes suddenly opened up.
He saw, not far away, two sword formations, tens of thousands of feet tall and shining with dazzling light, firmly suppressing two Buddha manifestations.
One of the Buddha manifestations looked somewhat familiar; it seemed, it seemed to be his Master?
"Brother Monkey? What are you doing here!"
Seeing the monkey in front of him with a dejected expression and dark lines in his eyes, Xuanming, who signaled Senior Sister Yunxiao to release him, walked over curiously.
"Roar~!"
Startled by the voice that suddenly sounded in his ear, Sun Wukong instinctively let out a low growl and retreated thousands of feet.
"Trying to run? Did I permit it!"
Seeing this, Yunxiao's eyes sharpened. This was the first task her junior brother had asked her to do; she wouldn't allow any accidents.
So, Sun Wukong, who had just seen Xuanming's face clearly and was thankful he had run fast, felt the surrounding space shift.
The next moment...
Plop~!
Even though he was already channeling the Nine Revolutions Profound Art at full power, Sun Wukong was still controlled and thrown to the ground. The dark lines in his eyes intensified.
He hated!
He hated his lack of strength!
He hated even more those powerful figures who toyed with and bullied weaklings like him!
Was he just born twenty thousand years too late?
Otherwise, with his talent, who in the entire Primordial World, heaven or earth, would be a match for his Great Sage Equal to Heaven?!
