Great Leiyin Temple.
"In another half month, it will have been five thousand and forty-eight days."
Guanyin said, "I only hope Xuanzang can deliver the true scriptures to East Tang within the number of one canon, completing his merit and virtue."
"Amitabha!"
Tathagata proclaimed the Buddha's name, closed his eyes, and began to continue expounding the scriptures.
White clouds drifted hazily as the Eight Great Vajras and Xuanzang's group of four rode the clouds together, hurrying toward East Tang to deliver the scriptures.
At this moment, Xuanzang and his four disciples all wore smiles on their faces.
They only needed to deliver the Tripitaka Scriptures to East Tang, and then their merit and virtue would be complete, and each of them would be able to achieve what they wished.
Whoosh!
Vajra Zixian smiled and said, "Holy Monk, you and your disciples have gone through layer upon layer of hardships and perils, and now your merit and virtue are finally about to be fulfilled. This truly calls for joy and congratulations."
"Along the way, we encountered demons, devils, ghosts, and monsters from every path. Being able to persevere to this point was indeed not easy."
Xuanzang sighed. "To have today, first I must thank Buddha for his trust, and also thank Bodhisattva Guanyin, the True Martial Great Emperor, the gods in heaven..."
Zhu Bajie could not help saying, "Master, we endured test after test from you. Why don't you thank us a little?"
Look at this monk, so heartless.
He had talked for half the day, yet he had not mentioned even one word about them.
One had to know that later on, whenever they ran into difficulties, this monk used disbanding and going home to test them.
If they had not endured those tests, how could there be today?
Whoosh!
