Chapter 204

When you're out in the world, you need connections, influence, and powerful backers.

In the world of Journey to the West, who has the most powerful background?

Buddhist Sect!

Who has the greatest power?

It's still Buddhist Sect!

Whose thighs are the thickest?

Of course, it's the Buddha of the Buddhist Sect!

who I am?

The Buddha's disciples issued the Sannan.

In terms of background, who has a bigger one than me? In terms of power, who can compare? And when it comes to currying favor, isn't Buddha the strongest patron?

I just want to ask, who else?

Yes, Lu Xuan has become a bit arrogant and cocky, but he has the right and the means to be arrogant.

This laid-back, Buddhist-like lifestyle was about to end after only a few days.

The reason is that his senior brother Chen Xuanzang, has returned.

On his way back from begging for alms, Lu Xuan happened to see his master and fellow disciple Xuanzang being chased and beaten by an old lady selling roast goose.

At that moment, Lu Xuan understood that the time had come, and he should go with his senior brother Xuanzang to the foot of Five Elements Mountain to find Sun Wukong, obtain monkey hair, and complete the main quest.

As for whether his master would let him go, Lu Xuan felt it wouldn't be a big problem.

Lu Xuan had been trying to numb himself, thinking that everything was a great test from Buddha, and that he was at most on the second level.

The Buddha already knew and had guessed that he was being tested, but knowing was one thing, and being able to do it was another.

Everyone knows these big principles, but how many people can truly put them into practice?

In this wave, Buddha is at least on the fifth level!

As for his purpose, Lu Xuan had a premonition that Buddha must already know, otherwise he wouldn't have accepted him as a disciple.

So going to Five Elements Mountain should be a sure thing. What I need to be careful about is the difficulties and dangers along the way and how to get the monkey hair from Sun Wukong, the King of Sun Wukong.

Because the Buddha might very well use these things as a test for himself.

We must be extremely cautious and careful.

Another crucial point is to firmly believe in one's Buddha-nature—all hardships are merely another test from the Buddha!

Chen Xuanzang accidentally saw the pictures and writings on the wall and asked in surprise, "Master, so you knew about the pig demon all along?"

The Buddha, in his incarnation, explained breathlessly, "This pig demon's original name was Zhu Ganglie. He was as ugly as a pig... but he was a romantic."

He was incredibly devoted to his wife.

But his wife disliked his ugliness and committed adultery with a handsome man, and they even conspired to kill him with Nine-Toothed Rake.

Driven by love turned to hatred, and by resentment to demonic possession, he vowed to kill every woman in the world who admired a handsome man.

Chen Xuanzang nodded. "So he was a pitiful person too. Master, I'm no match for such a powerful demon. Why don't you step in?"

Master: "Alright... but I'm very busy lately, dealing with such a powerful and bewitching demon... You'll have to have the guts to find a king of kings who is even more powerful than the demon."

He might teach you the art of demon slaying.

Chen Xuanzang: "Who is he?"

Master: "He is Sun Wukong was imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain by Buddha for five hundred years!"

Chen Xuanzang: "Sun Wukong?"

Master, he's just a legend... No one has ever found him.

Master: "It's actually very simple. Go to the foot of Five Elements Mountain... find an old temple, and in front of the temple is a Buddha statue... 1,300 zhang tall and 256 zhang wide. Sun Wukong is there."

Chen Xuanzang: "Is it really that easy?"

Master: "It is 1,300 feet high and 256 feet wide... Even a blind person can see it."

Without further ado, let's get going.

And also, that Sun Wukong... is fierce, cunning, treacherous, and harbors deep resentment. You must be careful."

Chen Xuanzang lacked confidence. "Why should I ask him to help me?"

The master's tone was serious and resolute. "With your intelligence... and this book too."

Seeing his master take out that Three Hundred Children's Songs again, Chen Xuanzang helplessly covered his head.

╮(╯▽╰)╭

Just as Chen Xuanzang was about to leave, Lu Xuan arrived, panting heavily.

Seeing that his senior brother Xuanzang hadn't left yet, Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his senior brother hadn't left yet, and there was still time.

Lu Xuan chased after them for more than a dozen streets until he was completely exhausted, but he could no longer see the backs of his master and his senior brother Xuanzang.

Sure enough, even without using any magical power, Xuanzang's physical body was far superior to that of a mortal like myself.

Xuanzang's physique is at least two or three times stronger than mine.

Lu Xuan asked breathlessly, "Master, where is Senior Brother going?"

A glint seemed to flash in the master's eyes as he chuckled and said, "Your senior brother is going to the foot of Five Elements Mountain to find the Demon King Sun Wukong to help subdue the pig demon."

Lu Xuan's heart stirred. "Master, may I go with my senior brother?"

Master: "Great! It just so happens that you two brothers can look after each other on the road."

I hereby bestow upon you the complete Demon-Subduing Compendium. On your journey, you can diligently seek guidance from your senior brother Xuanzang, learning truth, goodness, and beauty to transform demons.

Lu Xuan clasped his hands together and carefully accepted the book of Three Hundred Children's Songs.

Then he knelt down and kowtowed three more times.

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing upon me the Dharma!"

The master waved goodbye with a smile, saying, "We who cultivate ourselves, why should we be bothered by such trivialities? Go, do what you must do!"

Lu Xuan: "Yes, thank you for your teachings, Master. I will remember them."

Lu Xuan clasped his hands together and looked respectfully at his senior brother Xuanzang: "Senior Brother Xuanzang, my Dharma name is Sannan. I hope you will take good care of me along the way."

Chen Xuanzang was quite excited about his new junior disciple. "Definitely, definitely."

And so the two brothers set off.

On the way, Xuanzang asked Lu Xuan how he became a disciple, and Lu Xuan explained everything without hiding anything.

Lu Xuan also asked Xuanzang about cultivation. Of course, at that time, Chen Xuanzang only knew one Three Hundred Children's Songs.

Lu Xuan didn't feel embarrassed at all; instead, he studied very seriously.

Lu Xuan's poor attitude towards learning made Chen Xuanzang feel somewhat ashamed. He himself didn't quite believe it, but this Three Hundred Children's Songs brother really Demon-Subduing Compendium.

Perhaps this is why the master accepted his junior brother; Junior Brother Sannan is truly a Buddhist, with a compassionate heart.

Lu Xuan stated: Whether you believe it or not, I believe it myself. I am a Buddhist Sect, and my Dharma name Sannan.

Everything we experienced was nothing but illusion, merely a test from Buddha!

They hadn't been gone for more than a few days when, one night, Lu Xuan and Chen Xuanzang were ambushed.

Before they could react, the two were tied up.

Lu Xuan guessed that this must be a test from Miss Duan and her subordinates. He wasn't too worried, but he still looked very scared and hid behind his senior brother Xuanzang.

Senior Brother Xuanzang has always taken good care of Lu Xuan, just like an older brother protecting his younger brother.

Even when she was in danger herself, she still protected Lu Xuan behind her.

Sure enough, this group was the Miss Duan, putting on an act to deceive Brother Xuanzang into sleeping with her.

"We have come from the West to the Central Plains to fight monsters. We are determined to make a name for ourselves. Those who come before us are like enemies. To kill monsters, we must first kill exorcists."

No matter how strong your martial arts are, encountering us means certain death...

Lu Xuan simply remained invisible, cowering behind Chen Xuanzang with a fearful expression, watching them put on their act.

She hadn't been acting for long when she was exposed because of Miss Duan's emotional outburst.

Seeing her plan fall apart, Miss Duan tried everything, from fanning herself to confessing her feelings, but unfortunately, Chen Xuanzang was a straight man and also afraid to face his own emotions.

Chen Xuanzang naturally refused.

Seeing that the soft approach wasn't working, Miss Duan and her group had no choice but to resort to force, locking Chen Xuanzang and Lu Xuan in the car first.

Chen Xuanzang: "Don't worry, Sannan Brother Sannan, your senior brother will protect you."

Lu Xuan nodded and said seriously, "Sannan believes that Senior Brother can do it."

Chen Xuanzang blushed slightly, somewhat embarrassed, after all, he was now a prisoner himself, but he still nodded. "Yes!"

Lu Xuan wasn't worried that Miss Duan would hurt him.

Even if it were specifically targeted at me, it would only be:

It was just a test from Buddha!

Chen Xuanzang kept shouting from inside the carriage, "Let me out, I need to pee..."

Lu Xuan's lips twitched. Senior Brother Xuanzang actually wanted to urinate here.

Chen Xuanzang was somewhat embarrassed. "Everyone has to use the restroom sometimes."

Just as Xuanzang loosened his belt, the door opened, and a burly man grabbed Lu Xuan Lu Xuan by the back of the neck and lifted him into another carriage.

Chen Xuanzang nervously stopped the other party, fearing that it would be detrimental to his Sannan brother Sannan.

However, these were things he couldn't stop; he easily pushed them away.

Watching helplessly as Lu Xuan was transferred to another carriage, Chen Xuanzang finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Sannan, are you alright? They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

Lu Xuan: "Don't worry, Senior Brother Xuanzang, I'm fine."

Seeing that his junior brother was alright, Xuanzang loosened his belt again, preparing to urinate.

Then Miss Duan opened the door again, and thus began the famous scene from the movie.

"Get away, you sprayed me..."

Lu Xuan, who was in another carriage, could only get a general view.

Senior brother, don't Sannan me for not helping you, I'm barely able to save myself!

Good luck to you, and this is a trial in your love life that no one can help you with except yourself.

As the farce ended, the copper coins on the carriage suddenly made a sound, startling Lu Xuan.

Is Zhu Ganglie) coming?

Holy crap, Xuanzang isn't with me.

Not good!

Danger!

Lu Xuan saw a huge dark shadow slowly emerge in the distance.

Lu Xuan swallowed hard.

"Brother Xuanzang, save me!"

Miss Duan grabbed Chen Xuanzang's hand and tried to lead him onto the chariot.

Chen Xuanzang immediately released Miss Duan.

"No, my junior brother Sannan is still in that car."

Miss Duan cursed, "Damn, this is so troublesome!"

Miss Duan immediately opened the car door, and before Lu Xuan could react, he was pulled into the air by Miss Duan.

At the same time, with his other hand holding Chen Xuanzang, Lu Xuan and his companion boarded the iron-blooded war chariot.

After the chariot had been running for a while, Zhu Ganglie somehow circled around to the front. Miss Duan gave the order, "Charge!"

At the same time, they pushed Chen Xuanzang off the chariot.

Chen Xuanzang was somewhat embarrassed. "Everyone has to use the restroom sometimes."

Just as Xuanzang loosened his belt, the door opened, and a burly man grabbed Lu Xuan Lu Xuan by the back of the neck and lifted him into another carriage.

Chen Xuanzang nervously stopped the other party, fearing that it would be detrimental to his Sannan brother Sannan.

However, these were things he couldn't stop; he easily pushed them away.

Watching helplessly as Lu Xuan was transferred to another carriage, Chen Xuanzang finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Sannan, are you alright? They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

Lu Xuan: "Don't worry, Senior Brother Xuanzang, I'm fine."

Seeing that his junior brother was alright, Xuanzang loosened his belt again, preparing to urinate.

Then Miss Duan opened the door again, and thus began the famous scene from the movie.

"Get away, you sprayed me..."

Lu Xuan, who was in another carriage, could only get a general view.
