The Contest Continues

Upon hearing this, the king felt that this was a bit difficult, so he said to Sun Wukong, "My royal advisor wants to challenge you to a contest of whether you can use the cloud ladder to manifest your divine power. Are you capable of this?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong fell silent. After a short while, he spoke again:

"If this were something else, it would be alright, but this is meditation. If it were something like kicking the sky and shaking the well, or turning the sea upside down, then I could handle it. I wouldn't be afraid of being beheaded, having my brain chopped off, or having my heart scraped out."

But if I try to meditate, I'll lose. Even if you tie me to an iron Zhuzi, I'll jump around and won't be able to sit still at all."

At the same time, upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang thought to himself with smug satisfaction:

"Isn't this exactly what I'm good at? Let me handle this."

After thinking about this, Tang Xuanzang confidently said to Sun Wukong:

"I'll handle this; after all, it's something I'm best at."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong was overjoyed and asked Tang Xuanzang, "Master, how long can you do this?"

After hearing this, Tang Xuanzang pondered for a long time, sighed, and then slowly recounted his past.

"I've been listening to them preach Buddhism since I was a child, and I also did it for several years in another place."

After speaking to this point, Tang Xuanzang looked at the towering table that seemed to reach into the clouds, sighed, and slowly looked at Sun Wukong, saying:

"I can compare to him, but I can't climb up something this high."

After listening to this, Sun Wukong pondered for a long time before leaving behind a false body and flying to the high platform with his true body, carrying Tang Xuanzang.

At the same time, Great Immortal Luli, saw this and plucked a short hair from the back of the head, twisted it into a ball, and put it on Tang Xuanzang's head, where it transformed into a large insect.

After the insect bit Tang Xuanzang, he initially felt itchy, then he felt pain. After a long time, Tang Xuanzang finally could not bear the pain any longer, and Sun Wukong was furious when he saw this.

So it immediately transformed into a small insect and went to fight the other insect.

A short while later, Sun Wukong transformed into a very long centipede, crawled onto the Daoist's nose, and bit the Daoist. The Daoist was instantly terrified and fell over, almost losing his life.

Everyone was shocked to see this. The king then ordered the doctor to rush to the Daoist priest's side and help him.

In this phase, Tang Xuanzang has won.

Great Immortal Luli could no longer contain himself and said to the king, "I want to compete with him again; I want to compete with him in guessing things."

Upon hearing this, the king looked at the Great Immortal Luli a bewildered expression and said to him:

"What do you mean by 'guessing things'? Isn't guessing things something anyone with hands can do? It's such a simple trick, I could find any three-year-old in the palace to play guessing games with you."

After seeing that the king had completely misunderstood his meaning, the Great Immortal Luli smiled and said to the king:

"It's a guessing game where you try to guess what's inside a board. If this monk can beat me, then let him go. If he loses, please, Your Majesty, set any charge you like to avenge my senior brother."

Upon hearing this, the king nodded to the Daoist priest. After a short while, Tang Xuanzang said to Sun Wukong, "Wukong, how should we guess what this is?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong transformed into an insect, perched on Tang Xuanzang 'Tang Xuanzang head, and said to him:

"You don't need to worry at all. I'll see when I go in later."

As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, he transformed into a small insect and crawled into the cabinet. Inside the cabinet was a plate with a set of clothes on it, and next to it was a painting.

Sun Wukong tore the clothes to shreds and ripped the painting to pieces.

Before leaving, Sun Wukong urinated again, and flew out from the crack, whispering in Tang Xuanzang 'Tang Xuanzang ear:

"Master, just tell them it's all garbage inside."

Tang Xuanzang looked at Sun Wukong with a bewildered expression. Seeing Sun Wukong's unwavering gaze, Tang Xuanzang could only believe him. After a short while, the Great Immortal Luli suddenly stepped forward and said to Tang Xuanzang:

"I bet they contain Robe of the Realm and State and the land, and Map of Heaven and Earth Geography."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang quickly shook his head and said, "It only contains some garbage."

Upon hearing this, the king became very angry and quickly said:

"This monk is incredibly rude, daring to laugh at my country for having no treasures and calling it garbage."

When his men heard the king's words, they realized he was angry and were about to take action when Tang Xuanzang quickly said:

"Your Majesty, whether I'm telling the truth or not, why don't you open that cabinet and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, the king quickly opened the cabinet door and saw that it really was garbage.

At the same time, a servant went to the garden, picked a peach, and put it in the cupboard. Upon seeing this, Tang Xuanzang immediately summoned Sun Wukong and said to Sun Wukong:

"Wukong has to guess again. Go and take a look for me."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong smiled and said to Tang Xuanzang, "Master, don't worry, I'll go and take a look."

As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, he immediately transformed into a small insect and flew into the cabinet. Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong felt extremely pleased with himself.

"Everyone knows I like peaches, so they specially put peaches in this cabinet. I won't be polite then."

Then, Sun Wukong revealed his true form in the cabinet and ate all the peaches, leaving only a peach pit inside.

Then, Sun Wukong flew to Tang Xuanzang's Tang Xuanzang and whispered in his ear:

"Master, just guess with confidence. There's just a peach pit inside; nothing special."

Tang Xuanzang upon hearing this. Just as he was about to step forward to speak, Great Immortal Luli Lu, Great Immortal Luli Tang Xuanzang the spotlight again, saying:

"There's a perfect peach in here."

The king nodded upon hearing this, then turned his gaze to Tang Xuanzang slowly stepped forward and said:

There isn't actually a peach in here; it just contains a peach seed and pit.

Everyone was immediately surprised upon hearing this, and they began to discuss among themselves:

"That's impossible! I saw the king put the peach in there with my own eyes. How could it be a peach pit? This monk is definitely lying."

Having learned from the previous experience, the king had some doubts and ordered the cabinet to be opened. Sure enough, inside was a bare peach pit.

Everyone was shocked to see this, thinking that Tang Xuanzang possessed some kind of sorcery.
