Sun Wukong's Escape

After saying this, the Erlang Shen alliance turned around and rushed towards the river. After a few episodes, they arrived at the river, but it was too late. Sun Wukong had used the stones in the river to arrange them into a crooked and distorted sentence mocking Erlang Shen.

"Erlang Shen, you're hopeless! You couldn't find me even when we were so close. I only just realized I tricked you and came back here to find me, but let me tell you, it's too late. You'll have to catch me in your next life!"

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong had already escaped the river and was heading west along it. As he fled, he wondered what Erlang Sun Wukong would do if Erlang Shen saw the words he had left behind. He figured Erlang Shen would probably be furious with him.

"That stinking monkey really did get away from me just as he wanted, but it's all for naught. In this kind of chase, I can make many mistakes, but you can only make one. Just wait, Sun Wukong, I will capture you and hand you over to the Jade Emperor for punishment."

After seeing Sun Wukong's words, Erlang Shen did not fly into a rage as Sun Wukong had expected, nor did he have a bellyful of anger with nowhere to vent it. Instead, after making a self-deprecating remark, he formally issued a proclamation to Sun Wukong in his heart.

After doing all this, Erlang Shen adjusted his state and opened his Heavenly Eye again. He began to search for traces left by Sun Wukong in the river. Hard work pays off, and in no time, Erlang Shen found the traces that Sun Wukong had accidentally left behind.

The clues Erlang Shen observed through his Heavenly Eye indicated that Sun Wukong had headed west. After receiving this information, Erlang Shen followed the river westward, pursuing the trail left by Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong fled westward along the river and soon arrived at a village inhabited by humans. There, he saw a temple not far from the village entrance with two Bodhisattvas and a Buddha statue. Sun Wukong used his power to move one of the Bodhisattva statues and hide it. He then transformed himself into the Bodhisattva and sat on it.

However, not long after he finished doing these things, several believers came to burn incense and worship Buddha. Soon, the number of people gradually increased, and a long queue formed outside the temple. Then, Erlang Shen followed the clues left by Sun Wukong and arrived here.

Of course, when the god saw this village, he felt a bit overwhelmed. What would he do if he couldn't catch up with these ordinary people? He wanted to open his Heavenly Eye to search for Sun Wukong's whereabouts, but he couldn't do that. If he opened his Heavenly Eye, these mortals would also see the third eye on his forehead and might be frightened by it.

When Erlang Shen arrived, the first thing he saw was the temple. However, seeing so many people burning incense and praying, he decided not to go inside. He figured Sun Wukong probably wouldn't have time to hide there, so he ignored it and started walking through the village, sensing each house to see if there was any trace of Sun Wukong's Yao Qi.

However, after spending about fifteen minutes sensing the situation of each household in the village, he discovered that Sun Wukong had never been here.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong, who was living among these believers in the temple, was getting restless. He wanted to run away, but if these people saw him, they would definitely shout things like "Bodhisattva has appeared!" If that caused a commotion, it would be a loss if Erlang Shen came over.

So Sun Wukong had no choice but to suppress his impulse, forcibly restrain himself, and sit cross-legged in the spot where the Bodhisattva had been, waiting for all these people to finish their departures before quickly fleeing the place.

However, things didn't go as planned. When Yang Jian thought that Sun Wukong might be hiding here, he rushed over. When he entered the temple gate, he immediately saw a Bodhisattva statue inside that was actually Sun Wukong in disguise.

These ordinary people, with their mortal eyes, could not recognize that this was a Bodhisattva transformed from Sun Wukong. They treated him as the original Bodhisattva in the temple and came to worship him. The male god originally intended to take action and capture Sun Wukong.

However, fearing that he might harm the ordinary people who came here, he leaned against the door to rest, waiting for all the people who came to burn incense and worship to leave before taking his next step: capturing Sun Wukong.

"Damn it, why is Erlang Shen following us so closely? I didn't expect him to find us so quickly."

"What should we do next? Are we really going to be captured by him? What should we do?"

Upon seeing Erlang Shen, Sun Wukong felt a surge of turmoil in his heart, unsure how to handle the current situation. However, he had no choice; escape was too late. He could only stay there and wait for things to turn around.

Although Sun Wukong knew that after these believers left, it would be time for him and Erlang Shen to make their big move, he still held onto a sliver of hope, hoping that some miracle might happen and allow him to escape his current predicament.

Perhaps to prevent the conflict between Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen from affecting their temple, the Buddha statues and Bodhisattvas in the temple seem to have begun to manifest their power.

When Erlang Shen arrived outside the temple, every young woman who came out to worship couldn't help but glance at him a few more times when she saw how handsome Erlang Shen, before covering her face and running away laughing.

Speaking of Erlang Shen, he was truly handsome and refined, with striking features, sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a height of over eight feet. As the Jade Emperor's nephew, he was a tall, rich, and handsome man. It was no wonder that young girls couldn't help but take a second look at him, and some even wanted to keep their eyes glued to him.

As fewer and fewer people came to worship, Erlang Shen knew that his chance to capture Sun Wukong had come. He began to secretly regulate his breathing and recover his strength, preparing to become Sun Wukong. However, at this moment, someone appeared to help Sun Wukong out of the predicament.

"May I ask where this young master is from? Is he currently married? If not, Tathagata and take a look at our estate? We have many beautiful and gentle young ladies of marriageable age here. If you don't mind, you are welcome to come and have a look. If you find a lady you like, you can marry her right now. You don't need to pay any dowry; you can even marry into her family if you're willing."

An older woman emerged from the crowd of worshippers, approached Erlang Shen immediately, and asked him a question.
