Chapter 800: Journey to the West Sequel - Salvation Merit 26Although she felt emotional, Ruyi was not the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people's business, so she chose to cut off the source of the problem. Not only did she take away the three relics from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda, she also stayed in the Jinguan Cave, took out the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map, and directly transferred the Qiankun Map to the blank area of the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map.
This process took Ruyi a lot of time, but fortunately no one disturbed him throughout the whole process. During this time, Ruyi also reorganized his attack methods and familiarized himself with the various spells and formulas he had asked for from Ruoshui.
While Ruyi was staying in the Jinguan Cave, Zhu Bajie, Chenxiang and others had also arrived at the Wuzhuang Temple. However, the process of seeking an audience with the Immortal Zhenyuan was not easy. The Immortal Zhenyuan still remembered what Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong had done in the Wuzhuang Temple when they were seeking scriptures. Without Sun Wukong's intervention and reconciliation, Zhu Bajie obviously did not have the face to ask the Immortal Zhenyuan to forgive him for what he had done.
"Great Immortal, Great Immortal Zhenyuan, I really know I am wrong this time, please let us in."
"I came here for a really big reason this time, something as big as saving the common people!"
The Immortal Zhenyuan was annoyed by Zhu Bajie's noise, and finally let Zhu Bajie and the others in. Zhu Bajie finally succeeded in asking the Immortal Zhenyuan about the whereabouts of the relic, but this time with Ruyi's warning, the Immortal Zhenyuan kept the matter of the seventeenth relic secret and did not say a word.
After getting the answer he wanted, Zhu Bajie took Chenxiang and the others, bid farewell to the Immortal Zhenyuan and left Wuzhuang Temple. Considering safety, the first place Zhu Bajie thought of after leaving Wuzhuang Temple was Huaguo Mountain, so they started to rush to Huaguo Mountain.
At this time, Sun Wukong, the master of Huaguo Mountain, had left Chenguan Town and was heading towards Donghua Mountain, holding the relic that had a connection with him in his arms.
On the way, he happened to meet Nezha who had recovered his cultivation. After Nezha came out from the bottom of Mount Buzhou, he wanted to go to the underworld to rescue Yang Jian. This time he was full of confidence that he could rescue Yang Jian.
After rescuing Yang Jian, Nezha plans to work with Yang Jian to find a way to enter the Asura Realm to rescue the others. It was a coincidence that he met Sun Wukong on the way, but this coincidence made Nezha very happy.
"Great Sage!" He smiled and greeted Sun Wukong, "Great Sage, where are you going now?"
"Oh, it's Nezha." Sun Wukong habitually opened his flaming eyes and took a look. After confirming that it was Nezha himself, he replied enthusiastically, "I heard that Tathagata's reincarnated spirit boy is now in Donghua Mountain, and I plan to go over and take a look!"
In fact, when Sun Wukong was slaying demons, he suddenly heard the demons talking about Qiao Ling'er, the reincarnation of Tathagata. Qiao Ling'er not only did not die, but also practiced magic and worshipped Sun Wukong as his master...
"When did I become Wujitan's subordinate? And I also accepted Tathagata's reincarnated spirit boy as his apprentice?" Sun Wukong realized that something was wrong. He heard that Qiao Ling'er had gone to Donghua Mountain, so he planned to go to Donghua Mountain to meet Qiao Ling'er to find out what had happened. It would be even better if he could lure out the person who pretended to be himself behind Qiao Ling'er.
"The reincarnation of Buddha?" Nezha has been alone until now. From the time he was captured to his escape, everything was unclear. Except for knowing that there was a big demon Wutan who wanted to rule the three realms, he didn't know much other information.
Seeing that Nezha was too stupid to understand the situation, Sun Wukong simply told him the whole story. Nezha felt terrible when he learned that this catastrophe was actually a dispute between the two Buddhas, Tathagata and Wujitan, plus some additional power struggles.
"No, can't Lingshan fight this on its own? Why do they need to involve our Heavenly Court? We in Heaven don't care who the Buddha is in Lingshan!"
"Why?" Sun Wukong sneered, "Because Ren Wu Tian wants to be the biggest boss in the Three Realms, and because Ren Wu Tian is afraid that you Heavenly Court will delay things."
“Huh…” Nezha calmed down and asked, “So if we want to survive this catastrophe, we have to protect the reincarnated boy of Tathagata Buddha, and then wait until the thirty-three years come, collect the sixteen relics and give them to the reincarnated boy to help him rebuild, and then defeat the demon Wu Tian, and that’s it?!”
Although Nezha's words were a bit vague, it was basically correct. Sun Wukong scratched his head and didn't find anything wrong. He nodded immediately, "Yes, that's what you said!"
"Tsk." After knowing the 'truth', Nezha clicked his tongue and suddenly didn't know what to do. It didn't seem to be very important whether to save Yang Jian and the others or not. The most important thing now should be to collect the relics and protect the reincarnated spirit boy.
Nezha felt guilty about just leaving Yang Jian alone. Although he had not heard of any god really "dying" up to now, that was his good brother Yang Jian after all. How could he just leave him alone when his brother was suffering in the underworld?
The tangled expression on Nezha's face annoyed Sun Wukong. Not wanting to see his expression change again, he asked directly the reason. After listening to Nezha's explanation, Sun Wukong rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Alright, there's nothing to be tangled about."
"Just go and save the Three-Eyed Man. I'm with the reincarnated boy anyway, and someone else has taken care of collecting the relics. You don't need to worry about these two places."
As for the fact that he went to find Qiao Ling'er not to protect him or anything, Sun Wukong did not tell Nezha. Just like Nezha had said before, this was caused by the dispute over the Buddha at Lingshan and had nothing to do with Heaven.
With Sun Wukong's "guarantee", Nezha could finally go to save his good brother Yang Jian with peace of mind. But this time when he came to the entrance of the underworld, he could no longer enter. It turned out that after Wu Tian recovered from his injury, in order to prevent Ruyi from coming to the underworld to save people again, he used secret methods to move weak water from the heaven to surround the entire entrance of the underworld.
For other people, the weak water is extremely poisonous and completely impossible to pass through. There is only one way to enter and exit the underworld, and that is the reincarnation tunnel. If you want to enter the underworld, you must risk reincarnation and pass through the reincarnation tunnel.
When Nezha was stopped by Ruoshui, Sun Wukong had already arrived at Donghua Mountain. He went directly to Emperor Donghua to ask about Qiao Ling'er's situation. Emperor Donghua told Sun Wukong that Qiao Ling'er was escorted here by "him" some time ago, and now Qiao Ling'er officially stayed in Donghua Mountain to practice.
"I, Old Sun, protect the reincarnated spirit boy? This is impossible!"
"Emperor Donghua, do you still remember the difference between the 'Sun Wukong' at the beginning and the old Sun in front of you?" Through Emperor Donghua, Sun Wukong confirmed the news that someone was impersonating him. This also explained why Qiao Ling'er took him as her master. It seemed that she was accepted by the person who impersonated him.
