They were filled with admiration for Xuanzang.
Xuanzang had climbed Five Elements Mountain to rescue Goku, and now he was debating Buddhism face-to-face with Tathagata Buddha. They all admired Xuanzang greatly.
Xuanzang was merely an ordinary mortal now and knew nothing of his past life, yet he dared to speak to Tathagata Buddha like this face-to-face. His courage was commendable.
Standing beside Uchiha Shin, Goku looked at Xuanzang before turning to Uchiha Shin. "Big Brother, is this monk the Golden Cicada from back then?"
"That's him. The monk Guanyin Bodhisattva asked you to protect this time is Golden Cicada. What do you think? You could call him an old acquaintance, right?" Uchiha Shin said with a smile.
Goku smiled helplessly. "Big Brother, you know I hate monks more than anything. Back when I was at Three Star Cave, I never liked Golden Cicada and always kept my distance from him. Now you want me to protect him on his journey to Western Heaven? That's impossible. I'm not going."
Uchiha Shin smiled. He was not surprised by Goku's answer, because he had known Goku would say this.
He did not say anything further. He would persuade Goku once this matter had been settled.
Xuanzang and Tathagata Buddha said nothing more either. The three had already made their wager, so they would wait and see.
The reason Uchiha Shin had Xuanzang make this wager with Tathagata Buddha was also to offer Xuanzang some protection.
By wagering against Tathagata Buddha before everyone and debating Buddhism with him, they would see who was right.
This way, Tathagata Buddha would not casually kill Golden Cicada halfway through the journey. If he did, it would plainly show that he feared Golden Cicada and believed Golden Cicada was right, which was why he had attacked him.
Even
