Rumble!
Smoke and dust scattered, and rocks shattered.
Sun Wukong burst straight through Five Elements Mountain, flipped through dozens of somersaults in the air, then planted his feet on the Somersault Cloud and appeared before Tang Sanzang, Golden Cudgel in hand.
"Master, your Old Sun is free! Hahaha..."
Sun Wukong said excitedly. The feeling of regaining his freedom filled him with indescribable joy.
He scratched himself, leaped about, and bounced all over the place.
He looked every bit the unruly monkey. Tang Sanzang frowned at the sight, though he had to admit that Sun Wukong would be his disciple from now on.
His cultivation was fine. It was just that Sun Wukong's appearance left a lot to be desired!
Tang Sanzang put his palms together and said slowly, "Amitabha. Since you've acknowledged this poor monk as your master, you'll have to mend your unruly ways. Don't act recklessly."
"If I tell you to catch a dog, don't go stealing a chicken. Can you do that?"
At this,
Sun Wukong solemnly nodded and agreed at once.
From the first moment he saw Tang Sanzang, he knew the man was extraordinary. And during the Havoc in Heaven, he had heard of Golden Cicada's reputation.
He was the personal great disciple of Ancient Buddha Burning Lamp, leader of the Western Teachings. He had now undergone nine lifetimes of reincarnation, and Tang Sanzang was his tenth incarnation.
The merit of ten lifetimes was no ordinary thing!
"Tang Sanzang, do you know your crime?"
Buddhist chants drifted through the air, and Buddha Light filled the sky.
The golden-lettered seal was smeared with something black and yellow that gave off a foul stench. Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong both covered their noses and mouths.
"Buddha Tathagata, keep your distance!"
"You stink to high heaven!"
Sun Wukong
