Journey to the West: Don’t mess with that monster

"Uncle Master, who is coming this time?" Zhang Qingdi was not in a hurry to go to the Kingdom of Wuji.

After all, he only stayed in the alchemy furnace for a while, and the old Taoist just shouted to open the furnace and light the fire, without even touching the fan.

You want to drive Master Qingdi to action over such a small matter?

Moreover, Emperor Zhang Qing knew the cause and effect behind the Kingdom of Wuji because Manjushri Bodhisattva transformed himself into an ordinary monk to preach.

As a result, the King of Wuji tied the man up and threw him into the river for three days.

From Lingshan's perspective, if you have been teasing someone for three days and that person doesn't destroy your family, then that person is not merciful!

Sure enough, after the death of the King of Wuji, he still soaked in the well water for three years. His wife was taken over by a castrated lion for three years.

Manjushri Bodhisattva has a special identity. How could he go if Laojun doesn’t give him an explanation!

"It's Manjusri!" Laojun said.

"Oh, your disciple." Tongtian Jiaozhu looked at Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuanshi Tianzun sighed.

Zhang Qingdi asked cautiously, "How about we just forget about the Black Chicken Country? After all, it is also Brother Wenshu..."

"Since Senior Brother said so, how can it be counted?" Yuanshi Tianzun said sternly.

“If it was Brother Manjusri, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be his opponent.

After all, Brother Wenshu combines the strengths of both families." Zhang Qingdi said modestly.

Yuanshi Tianzun felt that these words were very hurtful!

"Qing'er, just do your best and don't worry about me!" Yuanshi Tianzun said sternly.

"Then I'll give it a try." Zhang Qingdi felt that there would be no benefit from it.

"Go quickly," said Laojun. "If you are late, the Black Chicken Kingdom will be in trouble."

After Laojun finished speaking, Zhang Qingdi disappeared.

At this time, the Black Chicken Kingdom was very lively. It turned out that the monkey had started a quarrel with the castrated lion demon.

As a result, the lion demon turned into the appearance of Tang Monk.

In the original novel, it was Zhu Bajie who asked Tang Monk to recite the Tightening Curse, and the monkey then distinguished the real Tang Monk from the fake one.

But the monkey didn’t have the golden hoop at this time, so what did Tang Seng chant?
The monkey looked left and right while holding the stick.

Both Tang Monks were a little scared, and it was obvious that they were both afraid of being hit by the monkey with a stick.

"Goku! I'm the Master!"

"Wukong, I am the master!"

"It's so annoying!" the monkey said angrily.

"Or we can take two masters with us to obtain the scriptures, maybe we can get two true scriptures." Zhu Bajie said.

"Second brother is right!" Sha Seng nodded.

"You will serve those two masters!" the monkey said angrily.

"Big Brother is right!"

The Monkey King and Bajie looked at Sha Seng, and Sha Seng immediately shut up.

The two Tang Monks began to feel anxious.

At this time, Emperor Zhang Qing descended from mid-air.

When the monkey saw Zhang Qingdi, he felt like his savior had arrived. He immediately said, "Master Qing, help me take a look! Who is this master of mine, Sun?"

Zhang Qingdi landed and was also slightly surprised.

He could not actually see the changes in the lion demon. Zhang Qingdi intentionally summoned the sun and the moon in his eyes. As long as the sun and the moon appeared in his eyes, he could see through all illusions.

But he changed his mind and thought there might be a simpler way.

So he smiled and said, "A castrated lion spirit has stumped you?"

"Is that a lion spirit?" the monkey asked in surprise.

"He was castrated!" Zhu Bajie was also very surprised. "Did you do it too?"

"Zhu Bajie, you sound like you've been castrated too," Zhang Qingdi said sarcastically. "Sorry, the word for pig should be castrated!"

Zhu Bajie waved his sleeves angrily.

The monkey enjoyed it very much!
The two Tang monks were very surprised. Zhang Qingdi smiled and said, "To be honest, I feel sorry for the lion. Being assigned to do this is a tough job.

He even gave up everything for this matter. How pitiful!
But then I thought, what if he is not good enough? He just happened to come to me…"

"Wow! Emperor Zhang Qing, I'm going to fight you today!"

The green lion revealed its true form and bit Zhang Qingdi's head. When the demon revealed its true form, all the civil and military officials in the court screamed in fear.

The real king who was hiding in the journey to the West was trembling slightly.

The lion's eyes were like glass cups and its head was like a sand refining jar.

The body is covered with indigo in the dog days of summer, and the four claws are covered with frost in the autumn. The two ears are drooping, and the tail is as long as a broom. The green hair is sharp, and the red eyes are golden. The teeth are like jade plates, and the round beard is as hard as a spear. Looking at the true image in the mirror, it turns out to be the Manjusri Lion King.

"I gave you face, right?" Zhang Qingdi raised his hand and slapped him.

The green lion was knocked to the ground!

He felt as if he was electrocuted all over and was shaking uncontrollably.

"Demon, come and die!" The monkey raised his stick and was about to kill him.

"Don't kill him." Zhang Qingdi said.

The monkey asked with some regret, "It's just a matter of one stick!"

Zhu Bajie helped the frightened Tang Monk to sit down and asked him about his health. Zhang Qingdi thought it was reasonable for Tang Monk to dislike this monkey.

"Wukong, don't hurt his life!" The image of Manjushri Bodhisattva appeared in the sky.

The monkey looked up into the air, then looked at Zhang Qingdi.

He didn't know the relationship between the two men, and wanted to call them to task, "Bodhisattva, this is a green-haired lion you sit on. Why don't you think highly of him? Instead, you let him go down to the mortal world to harm people?" "Wukong, it's not that I don't think highly of him. He came here on the Buddha's orders." After saying this, Manjushri Bodhisattva glanced at Zhang Qingdi.

It was obvious that he was telling him not to meddle in other people's business.

"This beast has become a spirit and is trying to seize the throne, and he is doing it on the orders of the Buddha? Then, since I, Sun Wukong, have been protecting Tang Monk from suffering, shouldn't I also receive a few imperial edicts?" the monkey said dissatisfiedly.

Manjushri Bodhisattva felt that this monkey was really cooperative.

So he looked at the King of the Black Chicken who was hiding in the pilgrimage team, and continued, "You don't know.

At that time, the king of Wuji was kind and generous in offering alms to monks. The Buddha sent me to help him return to the west, and he soon attained the status of a golden arhat.

As he could not meet him in his original form, he disguised himself as an ordinary monk and asked him for some food and offerings.

After a few words from me, he didn't recognize that I was a good person, so he tied me up with a rope, threw me into the Yu Shui River, and soaked me for three days and three nights.

Thanks to the Golden Body of Liujia who saved me and brought me back to the west, I reported this to Tathagata, who ordered this monster to be brought here, pushed into the well, and kept him submerged for three years to avenge me for the three-day flood.

Every sip and every bite is predestined. Now that you are here, it has become a great achievement."

The King of Black Chicken was so frightened that he dropped the luggage in his hands to the ground.

"Your Majesty, see you again today! It is also the time to settle the cause and effect of that day." Manjushri Bodhisattva said to the King of Wuji.

The King of Black Chicken was so frightened that he dared not speak.

He was really scared!

He was very clear that he had not offended the monk. It was just that he was a devout believer in Taoism and therefore rejected the monk.

Instead, the monk spoke rudely, and he was so angry that he had him kicked out.

He was indeed tied up and taken away, but he was not thrown into the river.

"I see." The monkey didn't know what to say for a moment.

The King of Black Chicken didn't dare to defend himself, so who would dare to defend himself?

"What Manjushri Bodhisattva said is not right!" Zhang Qingdi said.

The monkey couldn't help but laugh. Sure enough, he still needed the Green Emperor.

Manjushri Bodhisattva frowned. He didn't expect that Zhang Qingdi would actually question him. Was he going to challenge him?

"Friend Zhang, was there anything I said wrong?" asked Manjushri Bodhisattva.

"Buddha, even though you have avenged a small personal grudge, that monster has harmed countless people!" The monkey wanted to say a few words to help the Green Emperor.

It’s not that monkeys are still very loyal.

"He has never harmed anyone. Since he arrived, the weather has been good, the country has been peaceful and the people have lived in peace for three years. Not to mention harming anyone, the king would have done the same thing if he were here." Manjushri Bodhisattva said with a smile.

The monkey glanced at Zhang Qingdi. The lion was castrated, so he didn't even have a reason to cause trouble in the harem.

The monkey couldn't help but sigh that everything done at Lingshan was really flawless.

"Just now, Immortal Friend Zhang also said that this blue lion has been castrated.

But he is not completely incompetent, he just sacrificed himself for this matter." Manjusri Bodhisattva said with a smile.

The monkey looked at Zhang Qingdi again and thought it would be better to take action directly.

Instead of giving Manjusri the slap that he gave the Green Lion Demon just now, the monkey can take sides and let Master Green take advantage of him.

"If that's the case, then it's even more wrong!" Zhang Qingdi shook his head.

The monkey really wanted to hear what Zhang Qingdi had to say.

Not to mention the monkey, Tang Seng and his disciples were all very curious about what Zhang Qingdi could say.

"Just now the Bodhisattva said that he did not harm anyone, but is the King of Wuji a human? This blue lion pushed the King of Wuji into the water and killed him!

Let him be separated from the queen and her husband, and from the prince's flesh and blood!

How can it not be considered as harming others! " Zhang Qingdi gained the upper hand as soon as he opened his mouth.

Manjusri Bodhisattva was stunned for a moment, then said, "This blue lion has never neglected the prince's teachings, and has treated the queen as an equal, so it can't be considered as harming anyone."

"He has made the prince recognize the thief as his father, so how can it not be considered as harming others.

If that prince is a spineless coward, who changes his sect upon seeing his father's death and his own sect's failure, I will have nothing to say today!
But he is not like those spineless people. He always remembers his father.

Remember the father who raised him, educated him, and taught him!" Zhang Qingdi seemed to be talking to the prince, but every word he said was a poke at Manjusri.

"Who are you calling a spineless person? You, a demon, don't know anything about what happened back then, so stop pretending here!
I remember the grace of your raising me!

I haven’t forgotten your teachings either!” Manjusri Bodhisattva was defeated.

Monkey really didn't expect that Master Qing could fight back in this situation!

"Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva! Where is the Green Lion we are talking about? What's wrong with you?" Zhang Qingdi asked innocently.

Manjusri was so angry that he felt dizzy!

"Amitabha!" Manjushri put his hands together.

He calmed down instantly...

"Okay, this lion is guilty! I will definitely punish him!" said Manjushri Bodhisattva.

"The Bodhisattva is wrong again!" Zhang Qingdi shook his head. "The one who is guilty is not the Blue Lion, but the Bodhisattva! It is the Buddha!

The monkey couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Amitabha!" Upon hearing this, Tang Seng chanted the Buddha's name.

He felt that Zhang Qingdi's words were too unorthodox.

"Then I would like to ask, what sin have I and the Buddha committed?" Manjushri Bodhisattva asked this while gritting his teeth.

The monkey clenched the stick tightly and said, "I'm going to hit the Bodhisattva with the stick first. It was just my own carelessness!"

"Buddha said that all beings are equal! If that's the case, why do you want to take his life when he only teased you for three days? Why did you tease him for three years?" Zhang Qingdi asked with a smile.

"Amitabha!" Tang Seng chanted the Buddhist name again.

This time he actually felt that what Zhang Qingdi said made sense. (End of this chapter)
