Tathagata Wanted to Confiscate the Tools of the Crime

"I honestly have no idea. Tell me about it."

Sun Wukong put his hands on his hips and began to question himself about what he had done, looking quite self-righteous. He was determined not to lose in terms of momentum to the Buddha Tathagata.

"Look at the mess you've made, you disgusting thing."

The Buddha Tathagata immediately spoke to Sun Wukong in an annoyed tone, then stretched out his palm, which Sun Wukong had written on and then defecated on, for Sun Wukong to take a good look.

When the Buddha Tathagata extended his palm towards Sun Wukong looked closely and saw that the Buddha Tathagata's middle finger clearly bore the words, "Flower-Fruit Mountain, the Sun Wukong, Great Sage Equal to Heaven, was here." Moreover, beneath that finger was a pool of indescribable, disgusting stuff, emitting a foul stench that rushed towards the two of them.

"How so?"

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong frowned, a sense of doubt creeping into his heart.

Sun Wukong could hardly believe his eyes. He had clearly escaped the Buddha Tathagata's palm and flown westward until he encountered those five Tongtian, flesh-colored Zhuzi, where he stopped and even left his writing. Why was he now on the Buddha Tathagata's palm?

"I don't believe it, I want to go and see."

After saying this to the Buddha Tathagata, Sun Wukong immediately summoned his Somersault Cloud, intending to travel westward as quickly as possible to reach the place he had just arrived at.

"You don't need to look anymore, you won't find it. At the beginning, I didn't extend one palm, but two. From the moment you left the Western Heavenly Gate, you were already under my Law Technique."

"For all that time you flew, you were flying in the palm of my hand."

"Face reality, Monkey Sun."

Seeing that Sun Wukong wanted to go back to the place he had just visited, the Buddha Tathagata immediately dispelled his delusions and told Sun Wukong the truth of the matter.

"Hahaha, so I really did poop and pee on your hand just now. I have to say, using Buddha's palm is much more comfortable than using that latrine in my Flower-Fruit Mountain."

Sun Wukong accepted it. Once he realized he had lost, he let it go and turned to laugh at the fact that he had defecated in the Buddha Tathagata's hand.

"Alright, now that I've said my piece, what do you want me to do, Buddha Tathagata?"

After laughing for a while, Sun Wukong slowly stopped laughing and asked the Buddha Tathagata what he wanted him to do.

"The favor I need your help with will probably take a while, so please wait for me. When the time comes, I will have you complete it. South Sea this is done, you can go wherever you want, and I will absolutely not stop you."

After thinking for a moment with his eyes closed, the Buddha Tathagata told Sun Wukong the answer.

"You mean I have to stay by your side from now on until that favor comes along and I can leave, right?"

Sun Wukong understood the meaning behind the Buddha Tathagata's words and began to confirm with the Buddha Tathagata.

"If we follow your logic, that's certainly true."

After hearing Sun Wukong's words, the Buddha Tathagata nodded in agreement.

"What are you thinking? How could I possibly stay by your side obediently until this happens, help you with it, and then leave? What are you thinking?"

If this doesn't happen for a few years, I'll have to stay by your side for a few years. If it doesn't happen for several decades, I'll have to stay by your side for several decades. If it doesn't happen for several hundred years, I'll have to stay by your side for at least several hundred years. In that case, I won't be the carefree Sun Wukong, Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, in Flower-Fruit Mountain anymore. I'll be nothing more than your little follower, Buddha Tathagata!

Upon hearing the Tathagata answer, Sun Wukong instantly flew into a rage and began arguing with him.

"I will not break my promise. I will definitely fulfill the conditions I agreed to. However, it is impossible for me to stay by your side and wait for that matter to occur. I will live in the Water Curtain Cave of Flower-Fruit Mountain. I will wait for you there in a carefree manner. When the time comes, you can send someone to inform me."

"I, Sun Wukong, am a man of my word. Whatever the matter, as long as it's within my power, I will definitely lend a hand to help you."

Sun Wukong then made a promise that Buddha Tathagata he needed it, but staying by his side was absolutely out of the question.

"So what do you want now?"

With Buddha Tathagata asked Sun Wukong about his current plans.

"Now?"

"Now that I've lost, and the Heavenly Court can't continue to be torn down, you'll definitely stop me if I try. Why bother? Now, of course, I'll go back to my Flower-Fruit Mountain, continue being the mountain king, and then leisurely and carefree while waiting for news of your help."

Sun Wukong directly revealed his next plan.

After listening to Sun Wukong's words, the Buddha Tathagata stood there with his eyes closed, remaining silent.

"Hey, are you alright? I'll be going now. Let me know if you need any help."

Sun Wukong looked at the Buddha Tathagata in this state, waved his hand in front of his eyes, and saw that he did not react. After saying this, he stepped on his Somersault Cloud and prepared to fly towards the Southern Heavenly Gate, wanting to return to his Flower-Fruit Mountain and live his carefree and happy life.

"Leave you here with me."

Seeing that Sun Wukong wanted to leave, the Buddha Tathagata flipped his palm and struck Sun Wukong with a palm strike. This palm strike directly pushed him out of the Western Heavenly Gate and chased after him back into the room. The palm that pushed Sun Wukong out also transformed into five connected mountains of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. It was these Five Elements Mountain that directly pressed Sun Wukong down beneath them.

After completing all this, the Buddha Tathagata followed the direction of his memory to the Heavenly River. He quickly put his palm into the water and scrubbed it vigorously, trying to wash away the mark on his palm and the pungent smell that had risen to the sky. After scrubbing for a while, he pulled his palm out of the Heavenly River and put it in front of his nose to smell the spot.

"Wow!"

Why does it still smell so bad?

Buddha Tathagata never imagined that it would still smell so bad after washing.

Unwilling to give up, he put his hands back into the Heavenly River and began to scrub them. During this time, he also stepped on a few fragrant flowers by the Heavenly River, squeezed out the juice, and applied it to his hands. Then he put his hands back into the Heavenly River and washed them thoroughly. Afterward, he took them out and smelled them. It took him more than half an hour to get rid of the smell on his hands.
