Apricot of the Great Desolation

Chapter 298 Fake?real?
After coming out of the Daughter's Kingdom, several people continued to move forward, but Xuanzang became a little silent.

He looked back from time to time, his eyes were deep, although he did not have the power of the Buddha's eyes to penetrate the world, but he had a pair of eyes that could see through all living beings.

He seemed to see the peerless queen, leaning on the railing and looking at the moon, looking at him affectionately and smiling sweetly.

He seemed to hear the gentle and moving call "Brother Holy Monk" that came back thousands of times.

Perhaps, he had already regretted it since leaving the country of daughters.

However, this body has been promised to the Buddha, and it is difficult to give it to Qing again!
Perhaps it was for this reason that he said that sentence: "If there is an afterlife, and I don't become a monk, worship Buddha, or travel west, then I will marry you..."

……

On this day, Xuanzang and his party found a place to camp as usual. The trek was too long, and the others were fine, but Xuanzang's physical body couldn't bear it anymore.

Therefore, several people would take a break every time they walked.

This team seems to have undergone some changes, but they can't tell what the changes are.

In the same open tent made of technological creations, the master and disciples rested in the tent. Sha Wujing was bored. The white dragon horse paced and snorted from time to time. Zhu Bajie took out the ingredients with ease, and Tang Seng chanted as usual. through.

The only difference is that the sound of chanting sutras today does not have the comforting effect of the past, nor does it have the effect of cleaning people's hearts like morning bells and evening drums.

On the contrary, it sounds like there is an uneasy feeling, as if the person chanting the sutra is confused. If the mind is confused, the Buddhist sutra will also be confused.

"Master, disciple, go ahead and investigate!" Sun Wukong said.

Xuanzang, who had no intention of chanting sutras, opened his eyes and sighed softly: "Go!"

After he finished speaking, he did not recite sutras, but sat there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhu Bajie and the other three have become accustomed to this. Xuanzang became like this after he came out of the Daughter Kingdom.

Sun Wukong didn't say much, and walked out without a trace. He went directly to the heaven to drink with Nezha.

As for exploring the situation ahead?There is no need at all. The strong men of Daluo Jinxian cover the endless space, and they already know that the front is safe.

Just after Sun Wukong left, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing couldn't stand still. After all, Xuanzang was stunned at this time, and the atmosphere was really awkward.

"Master, I'm going to see if there's a house ahead of me and make some vegetarian food!"

"Master, I'm going to walk the white dragon horse!"

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing said one after another. Xuanzang just nodded lightly without saying anything. The two of them also led the white dragon horse and walked out, leaving Xuanzang alone in the tent.

Not long after the two left, "Sun Wukong" came back. Xuanzang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this. In the past, it would take at least ten days and a half for Sun Wukong to come back. Why did he come back as soon as he left today?

"Wukong, why did you come back so soon?"

"Monkey King" laughed while putting away the tent and luggage:

"Hello, Master, everything is safe ahead. There are no monsters. Let's keep walking. If we reach Xitian a day earlier, we can get the scripture earlier, right?"

Xuanzang felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only say:

"Bajie and Wujing are out, wait for them!"

"Don't worry, I saw them, they're right in front, you can meet them!" While speaking, "Sun Wukong" had already packed his bags.

Xuanzang was confused throughout the whole process. He was arranged by "Sun Wukong" like a puppet on strings.

Not far away, the two of them suddenly saw Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing making hot pot, as well as the white dragon horse wandering around.

Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie were also surprised, but they didn't say much. They thought the monkey had discovered something and wanted to complete the journey to the west quickly.

Twelve days later, the monkey came back leisurely after drinking. A golden light flashed, and Sun Wukong appeared in front of the Journey to the West quartet.

He was immediately confused, and he even thought that he was still drunk from the drink in Yunlou Palace. He shook his head and looked at the "Sun Wukong" with his golden eyes.

Suddenly, the monkey was at a loss. The origin was the same, the breath of the avenue was the same, and the soul was the same. Even the brothers of the same mother were not so similar.

Each innate god and demon is unique, just like in the Fuzhu clan, only Fuzhu has the name of Fuzhu, and the rest of the Fuzhu have two horns, and do not have the name of Fuzhu or the personality of Fuzhu.

If he hadn't known this, the monkey would have thought he had met another spiritually luminous stone monkey.

He pressed down the cloud head, and met the twelve eyes of Xiyou and his group. Suddenly, except for Monkey King on both sides, everyone else was blindsided.

"Sun Wukong" was the first to attack. The golden cudgel appeared in his hand, pointed at Sun Wukong, and said angrily: "How dare you pretend to be my old grandson, you are so bold!"

Hearing this, Sun Wukong also became angry and scolded: "It's obviously you who pretended to be me!"

Zhu Bajie looked at "Sun Wukong" and then at Sun Wukong. His eyes suddenly became indifferent, and the pure energy floated up and down, and the purple energy scanned the two monkeys.

However, when a saint takes action, Taiyi can tell it. After looking for a long time, he still couldn't tell the difference. He looked at Sun Wukong and said with some hesitation:
"Brother Monkey never left, where did this monster come from?"

Then Sun Wukong looked at Zhu Bajie and said: "Bajie, you all know that every time I go out, it can take as little as ten days or as many as more than a month. How can I come here in advance?"

As soon as these words came out, "Sun Wukong" was suddenly shocked. He knew that he still showed some flaws, so he raised his iron soldier and hit Sun Wukong directly.

Sun Wukong was not to be outdone. He raised his golden cudgel in his hand, grinned, and faced him directly with two ferocious fangs.

The six-eared macaque was introduced and taught all the records of Sun Wukong in the long river of time and space. It can be said that he is another Sun Wukong.

When the fight started, the two men's methods were very similar, and the same Gengjin, Wutu, Poliang and War Laws poured out.

Between the two men's sticks intersecting, the sound of the avenue hummed, and 72 earthly evil spirits each displayed their magical powers.

The golden body refined by Taishang Laojun is generally the same as the golden body refined by Jie Yin, although the six-eared macaque does not have the golden eyes.

But he has the gift of listening to all things, coupled with the accumulation of hundreds of millions of years, the battle between the two looks the same, as if a person is fighting with his shadow.

Their speed was so fast that not to mention Bai Longma and Sha Wujing, even Zhu Bajie was dazzled and couldn't tell which one was which.

Xuanzang saw something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Wukong, stop! Stop!"

After hearing this, the two people fell from the nine heavens and came to Xuanzang and said:
"Master, I am real, he is fake!"

"Master, I am the real one! This monster dares to pretend to be me!" The two of them were chattering, which made Xuanzang's head grow bigger. He looked left and right, but he couldn't tell who was the real Sun Wukong.

Xuanzang thought for a moment and then said, "Which of you two knows where the golden hoop on your head comes from?"

Sun Wukong hurriedly said: "The disciple was curious and took the hat in the master's bag, so he got this golden hoop!"

"Sun Wukong" was not far behind, he also took a step forward, and hurriedly said: "This golden hoop was given to the master by the Golden Light Bodhisattva, and then the disciple got it because of his curiosity for a while!"

After the two of them finished speaking, they glared at each other, and then both looked at Xuanzang.

Xuanzang was in a dilemma now. Both of them were right. You couldn't tell from this!

"Sun Wukong" said at this time: "Master, you might as well recite the tightening curse, and you will know by then!"

Sun Wukong next to him felt his heart tighten. Although he had only felt this tightening curse once when he put it on, that time was something he would never forget.

But immediately, Sun Wukong's face became solemn, and he also said: "Master, recite the mantra!"

Xuanzang was a little embarrassed. He didn't want to miss the Tightening Curse, but at this time he had no other choice but to recite the Tightening Curse that he had never recited before.

In an instant, Sun Wukong only felt the golden light shining in his mind, like a needle pricking him, and his whole body was in agony. It was simply more powerful than Zhen Yuanzi's whip.

As Xuanzang recited, the two monkeys rolled over and over on the ground. One looked more painful than the other, and it was impossible to tell which one was real and which one was staged.

It has to be said that the six-eared macaque cherishes this opportunity. Originally, he should have disappeared in the long river of time, but Jieyin gave him a chance.

There is also a tightening curse in his mind, which was planted by Jie Yin himself.

In other words, the six-eared macaque suffered the same pain as Sun Wukong.

Seeing the pain of the two monkeys, Xuanzang couldn't help but stop. He couldn't tell which one was true, but he knew that the other one was definitely true. He couldn't bear to let Sun Wukong suffer like this.

"Wukong, you two might as well go find the Golden Light Bodhisattva! Let him judge!"

The two monkeys looked at each other, started fighting again, and headed towards the golden dojo while fighting.

Not long after, the two arrived at Jin Guang's dojo. Jin Guang was a little stunned when he saw two identical Monkey King. It seemed that there was no such thing in the Journey to the West plan!

He was not much better than Sun Wukong. He really couldn't tell which one was real and which one was fake. Jin Guang thought for a moment and decided to kick the ball to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. He said:

"There are many dead souls and countless wronged ghosts in the underworld. There is a Bodhisattva sitting here in the west of me. He is as patient and immovable as the earth, and his meditation is as deep as a secret treasure. Therefore, he is called Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has a divine beast under his command, called Listening. It has insight into the three realms and listens to all things. Perhaps, he can know the true identities of you two!"

The two monkeys traveled through the realms of yin and yang, passed the gate of hell, walked through the ancient road of Huangquan, and came to Yinshan Mountain.

I saw hundreds of millions of ghosts wandering around again, and the murmur of the Buddha's heart echoed around. It was a monk in the center, holding a pearl tin staff, sitting on a stone, with this divine beast lying beside him.

Along with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's chanting, the resentment of the surrounding ghosts turned into wisps of black smoke and gradually dissipated.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was not surprised to see the arrival of two Monkey Kings. As one of the few quasi-sage masters in Buddhism, if he hadn't made a big wish, Hell would not be empty, and he would have become a Buddha long ago.

Before the two monkeys arrived, they heard a voice, like morning bells and evening drums, echoing in their hearts:

"Amitabha, the poor monk already knows the purpose of your coming, but you can't say it. You two can go to the Lingshan Mountain in the west to find the lamp-burning Buddha!"

Sun Wukong took a step forward and said, "Old monk is making a fool of himself. Is there anything you can't say?"

However, Ksitigarbha did not answer his words at all. As he waved his sleeves, a strong wind struck, and the two monkeys were sent directly out of the underworld without any resistance.

……

In Xuanyuan Realm, Zhang Ye frowned. He found that the trend of heaven's luck had changed. His pupils turned glazed color and he looked towards the river of time and space!
The long river of time and space that had been tampered with by Jie Yin Zhunti had no secrets in front of these eyes. Soon, Zhang Ye saw Jie Yin and Zhunti's plan.

To the ancient world, Jingyin and Zhunti were high-level wage earners, and Zhang Ye was the food and clothing parent. Opening up the ancient world and conquering the heavens all required Zhang Ye's efforts. Naturally, he would not help the Two Saints of the West cover up the secrets of heaven at this time.

Zhang Ye's expression was very dull. The monkey was just a memory of his past. It was important to say it was important, and it was really not important to say it was not important.

However, the behavior of Jie Yin and Zhunti was a slap in his face and an insult to him.

He walked out slowly, Taoist robe fluttering lightly, stepping on time and space, accompanied by karma and fate, just walked out of Xuanyuan Realm, Zhang Ye's footsteps were paused, he slightly raised his head, and looked into the distance:

"I have seen the Demon Ancestor!"

The next moment, Luo Hou came with long hair as black as ink, stepping on the world-destroying black lotus that was as crystal clear as black gems.

"There is no need to argue with fellow Taoists. How about we discuss the Tao?" Luo Hou said with a smile on his face.

Having two saint-level masters join him was already worthy of him. After all, Jie Yin and Zhunti were fundamentally his disciples.

Zhang Ye looked deeply at Luo Hou, but seeing the smile on Luo Hou's face was still there, he turned around and said:

"Fellow Daoist, please!"

Once a strong man of their level takes action, even the long river of time and space will be disturbed, and the fight cannot be completed in a short time.

Therefore, people of this level will not take action easily unless necessary. I have not seen that Hongjun and Luo Hou have been fighting for endless years. What they really take action now is the battle between Tao and Demon.

……

In the Netherworld, among the Jiuli tribe, Chi You and Ah Cha naturally felt the monkey's aura. After all, they came all the way here.

Seeing this, Ah Cha couldn't help but curiously asked: "Brother, what is going on? Among the two, who is true and who is false?"

Acha was very confused when she asked this question, but when she saw Chi You who frowned slightly, she became even more confused.

"I can't tell which Hunyuan Saint should have done it!"

"Is this the merit of Journey to the West worthy of a saint-level expert?" Ah Cha asked in disbelief.

Chi You's expression became more solemn. He felt that it was not for merit, and a terrible thought appeared in his mind.

Chi You tightened the amber in his hand, stared at the two monkeys fighting outside the nether world, and murmured to himself:
"I hope it's not what I thought, otherwise Buddhism has really gone too far!"
