Chapter 206
As for Lu Xuan, from the moment he boarded the carriage, he clung tightly to his senior brother Xuanzang's arm, vowing to live and die with him.
Survival is nothing to be ashamed of!
Finally, Lu Xuan landed safely with Chen Xuanzang, while Miss Duan and the others drove their chariots and crashed violently into Zhu Ganglie.
When he saw Miss Duan collapse to the ground, Chen Xuanzang broke free from Lu Xuan's restraints, rushed to Miss Duan's side without caring about anything else, and hugged her, weeping bitterly.
Lu Xuan followed closely behind, always keeping a distance of less than one meter from his senior brother Xuanzang.
Let alone facing the pig demon directly, just looking at the pig demon made Lu Xuan feel terrified and unable to move. Only when he was by Chen Xuanzang's side could Lu Xuan feel at ease and safe.
Chen Xuanzang held Miss Duan and wept bitterly. "Wake up! Hey, wake up! No! Don't die!"
Miss Duan suddenly stood up. "Haha... I caught you! Look how worried you are about me... And you still say you don't admit you love me?"
That's great, hahaha...
Chen Xuanzang was at a loss, and could only hold Miss Duan tightly.
But the pig demon was still there.
However, there's no need to fight the pig demon anymore, because the three exorcists have arrived.
They are the Big Dipper Five-Form Fist, the Crippled Foot, and Kidney Deficiency—no, it should be the Prince Important.
Each of the three exorcists possessed the strength to fight the pig demon Zhu Ganglie one-on-one, but they fought amongst themselves because they vied for fame and fortune, vying for the title of the world's number one exorcist.
The pig demon escaped.
At this moment, Chen Xuanzang stepped forward and reprimanded the three exorcists for letting the pig demon escape in their fight for fame and fortune.
After being humiliated by everyone, Chen Xuanzang broke off relations with Miss Duan. In a fit of anger, Miss Duan tore up three hundred of Xuanzang's Three Hundred Children's Songs, beat Xuanzang up, and deliberately threw herself into the arms of the Kidney Deficiency Prince to provoke Chen Xuanzang.
The two have completely fallen out.
As for Lu Xuan, he was completely invisible throughout the entire process.
You can't see me, you can't see me, I'm just a nobody, a tiny ornament...
Chen Xuanzang stormed off, saying, "Junior brother, let's go."
Lu Xuan didn't say anything, but quietly followed his senior brother away.
At this time, Xuanzang's emotional tribulation needs to be seen through by himself; it is all just a test from Buddha for him.
Lu Xuan used this phrase to numb himself again.
Over the next two months, Chen Xuanzang and Lu Xuan embarked on a long journey, traversing mountains and valleys.
Lu Xuan was almost exhausted, while his senior brother Xuanzang had much more energy. Although they were both mortals, people are different.
When they were hungry, they would eat tree bark and grass leaves; when they drank, they would drink dew and mountain spring water. Only when they encountered a human being could they get a hot meal.
They are also constantly being chased by wild beasts and hunted by demons.
To be honest, if it weren't for his senior brother Xuanzang protecting him, Lu Xuan would probably be dead by now.
At the slightest sign of trouble, Lu Xuan would cling tightly to his senior brother Xuanzang's arm, as if afraid that if the other man got too far away, he wouldn't be able to save him.
After all, whenever danger arose, Senior Brother Xuanzang always took the initiative to shield Lu Xuan from harm. This was partly because he was stronger than Lu Xuan, but more so because of Xuanzang's kindness, sense of responsibility, and care for his junior brother.
Lu Xuan felt deeply guilty and grateful for this.
During this time, Lu Xuan's studies did not fall behind, and he would teach Lu Xuan cultivation every day during his rest time.
Two months later, Xuanzang finally led Lu Xuan to the old temple his master had mentioned.
Xuanzang took Lu Xuan to the temple's water vat and washed his face.
Xuanzang looked at the four characters on the water vat. "Mirror Flower, Suigetsu".
He seemed to have a sudden realization and immediately sat cross-legged.
Knowing the plot, Lu Xuan sat cross-legged, looking at the distant mountains, but he still couldn't figure out where the Lu Xuan statue came from.
I've even tried imagining it with my body turned to the side, but why isn't it working?
Could it be that only Xuanzang could find it?
Lu Xuan composed himself and silently prayed: It's all just a test from Buddha.
Strangely enough, whenever Lu Xuan silently recited this sentence, his heart would become peaceful again. He didn't know if it was self-comfort or Buddha had truly appeared to him.
Perhaps it's a combination of both!
When Lu Xuan opened his eyes again, his heart remained calm.
Lu Xuan's heart started beating faster without her realizing it.
I'm lying down... Amitabha!
Surprisingly, I actually saw a Buddha image.
But what about Lotus Cave?
Lu Xuan wanted to continue searching, but Chen Xuanzang had already found it.
Chen Xuanzang excitedly said, "Brother Sannan, I know where Sun Wukong is! Let's set off now!"
"Okay, senior brother, let's set off now."
With the three-month deadline set by the Paradise drawing ever closer, Lu Xuan stopped worrying about not having found the Lotus Cave.
The most important thing is to quickly find Sun Wukong and get the monkey hair from him to complete the main quest.
Other matters can be set aside.
After more than a day's journey, Xuanzang and Lu Xuan finally arrived at the lotus pond.
A white lotus flower in full bloom is placed in a conspicuous spot, with an opening below it.
Lu Xuan was somewhat excited. After overcoming countless difficulties, he had finally arrived at the Lotus Cave Sun Wukong was suppressed.
I'm not far from completing my mission.
It was all just a test from Buddha, and Lu Xuan's mood calmed down again.
We've taken ninety-nine steps already, just one last step to go, hold on!
Lu Xuan: "Brother Xuanzang, look at this."
Lu Xuan pointed to the cave beneath the white lotus.
Xuanzang looked at the cave entrance, then leaned in to look inside. A powerful suction force swept Xuanzang inside.
Seeing that his senior brother had already entered the cave, Lu Xuan took a deep breath and put his body in as well. A huge suction force also pulled Lu Xuan in.
However, thanks to Chen Xuanzang's help, Lu Xuan was unharmed and escaped danger.
Here, Lu Xuan saw the terrifying Demon King, Sun Wukong.
Just looking at his figure, Lu Xuan's heart stopped beating, as if time had stood still.
Horrible, utterly terrifying.
Even the slightest aura emanating from the other party made Lu Xuan feel suffocated.
Seeing his junior brother's predicament, Chen Xuanzang immediately stepped forward to stand between Lu Xuan and Sun Wukong.
Lu Xuan lowered his head and hid behind his senior brother Xuanzang, clinging to his arm. He didn't dare to look at Sun Wukong's face, and at most he could only look at Sun Wukong's feet.
I listened with fear to his and Sun Wukong's feigned snake-like behavior; to be honest, their conversation was actually quite funny.
However, due to his fear of Sun Wukong and the inexplicable pressure he exerted, Lu Xuan's legs were trembling, and he was almost ready to kneel down and weep bitterly on the spot.
Sun Wukong first tried to be gentle, but when he saw that Chen Xuanzang was not easily fooled, he tried to be forceful. Unfortunately, neither worked; Chen Xuanzang was unmoved by either approach.
He simply wouldn't fall for it. After all, Sun Wukong hadn't yet gained Chen Xuanzang's trust. Chen Xuanzang always remembered what his master had said: the demon was cunning by nature.
Therefore, Chen Xuanzang was always on guard against Sun Wukong and never gave him any opportunity.
He couldn't kill him, and he couldn't reason with him; Sun Wukong finally seemed to have had enough.
They tried to force their way out of the Lotus Cave, but in the end it was all in vain, and they were beaten up all over by the restrictions of the Lotus Cave.
Sun Wukong lay on the ground, howling in pain.
"Ah! Ah..."
