Time passed quickly, and after the encounter with the demon at Pingdingshan came to an end, Sun Wukong and his party continued their journey westward in the Western land.

During this period, Sun Wukong and his crew had encountered dozens of disasters.

Among these disasters, there were several that left a deep impression on Sun Wukong. They first passed through the Dry Pine Stream and were blocked by Red Boy in the Fire Cloud Cave.

This Red Boy has some connection with him. He is the son of Bull Demon King, and Bull Demon King is his sworn brother in the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Due to Red Boy's identity, he did not kill the evil spirits like he had in the past, but instead suppressed them forcefully.

Afterwards they passed through Chechi State, where three demons transformed themselves into state masters and stirred up trouble.

With his strength as a Golden Immortal, he could naturally deal with just three troublesome demons.

However, these three demons did not cause any trouble. Instead, they did things that were beneficial to Chechi Kingdom. He just taught these three demons some lessons and left Chechi Kingdom with Tang Sanzang and his party.

Then they passed Tongtian River and Jindou Mountain.

When passing by this place, Senior Heiwu informed him in advance that the Green Bull Demon lurking in Jindou Mountain had a special identity and was the mount of Taishang Laojun.

Through years of communication with Senior Heiwu, he had long known that Taishang Laojun was one of the three saintly corpses of Taiqing Saint.

After the Green Bull Demon abducted Tang Sanzang, he was too lazy to take action and went directly to the Heavenly Palace to ask Taishang Laojun for help.

After leaving Jindou Mountain, they passed through Xiliang Kingdom and then passed the Flaming Mountain, but were blocked by the thousand-mile sea of ​​fire on the Flaming Mountain.

But he had already reached the level of Daluo Jinxian, so how could he not deal with a mere Flaming Mountain? With just a little use of his magical powers, they crossed the Flaming Mountain.

After passing the Flaming Mountain, they successfully passed through the Jisai Kingdom and resolved the misunderstanding there.

Along the way, they have survived more than twenty disasters, big and small.

In this process, he did not do it all by himself.

He left all the minor disasters that were not worth mentioning to Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.

Due to his strength, the two dared not speak out, and whether they went to the Heavenly Court for help or took action themselves, they easily resolved the matter.

As he passed many tribulations, he could clearly feel that his luck was improving, and his cultivation speed also improved qualitatively.

In addition, the good fortune he gained every time he survived a disaster also increased the number of monkey particles in his body.

To date, another 40 million particles have transformed into primordial monkeys, and only 100 million particles are left until all particles have transformed into primordial monkeys.

Moreover, every time he gained merit, he would introduce it into the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and the transformation speed of this meritorious treasure was further accelerated.

Feeling the benefits that the Journey to the West brought him, Sun Wukong became more and more looking forward to the disasters that would follow.

On this day, they had completely left the territory of the Jisai Kingdom, and in front of them was a thorn forest.

At the same time, in the Great Leiyin Temple, many Western Sect disciples gathered together again.

Under the arrangement of Patriarch Bodhi, they remained on hold and observed the movements of Sun Wukong.

After observing for such a long time, they found that Sun Wukong was very well-behaved and had been following Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West without any unnecessary movements, which also made them feel relieved.

But without the golden hoop to suppress him, Sun Wukong was no longer under their control and was always a thorn in their hearts.

"Buddha Dipankara, are you calling us together today to take action against Sun Wukong?" asked Ksitigarbha.

After waiting for such a long time, they not only observed the movements of Sun Wukong, but also kept an eye on the saint Lu Yuan.

If Lu Yuan really interferes in the Journey to the West, they can only report the matter to the Saint Master and let the Saint Master negotiate with Lu Yuan.

Fortunately, after such a long time, they found that Lu Yuan had never taken any action, which made him feel that it was time to take action against Sun Wukong.

"I have called you here because the saint has issued an edict that allows us to take action against Sun Wukong!" said the Taoist Master Ran Deng with a smile.

From beginning to end, they never thought of letting Sun Wukong go.

After all, Sun Wukong has great potential, and achieving quasi-sainthood is a foregone conclusion. Naturally, they don't want the Western Church to lose such a powerful person.

Most of the journey to the West has already passed. Although they are anxious, they can only wait for the saint's decree.

Now that the Bodhisattva Cundi has finally issued an edict, they can take action against Sun Wukong with peace of mind.

During this period of time, in order to deal with Sun Wukong, they had already made full preparations. He believed that Sun Wukong would definitely not escape from the clutches of their Western religion.

Upon hearing the answer from Master Ran Deng, many Western religious disciples showed joy on their faces.

Before this, they had targeted Sun Wukong many times, but each of their attacks was resolved by Sun Wukong, which had brought shame to the Western Church.

In addition, Sun Wukong is extremely important to Western religions, and they have been eager to take action against him.

"Buddha Dipankara, now that our sage master has issued an edict, how should we proceed?" Ksitigarbha asked.

Not long ago, he was defeated by Sun Wukong, so naturally he wanted to save his face.

Hearing Dizang's question, many Western religious disciples looked at Randang, their eyes full of expectation.

"Sun Wukong and others will soon pass by Xiao Leiyin Temple. Maitreya, this matter will be left to you." The Taoist Master Ran Deng replied.

According to their original deployment, Xiao Leiyin Temple was a disaster set up by their Western religion, and the one in charge was Huang Mei.

Huang Mei and Maitreya have a close relationship, so it would be best to let Maitreya be in charge of this matter.

Hearing the words of the Taoist Master Ran Deng, Maitreya was overjoyed and walked out from the many Western teachings disciples.

"Thank you, Buddha. I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!" Maitreya said with a smile.

When he was in the Golden Immortal realm, he was defeated by Sun Wukong.

Now that Sun Wukong has broken through to the Golden Immortal, he is naturally no match for Sun Wukong.

However, he had no worries about this. Since Ran Deng specifically asked him to take action, he must have made all the necessary plans.

When they were in heaven, Sun Wukong easily defeated him and made him lose all face.

This time, they must take revenge, suppress Sun Wukong, and save their own face in one fell swoop.

Time passed again. On the way to the west, Sun Wukong had already passed through the thorn forest after killing the apricot tree spirit in the Muxian Temple in the forest.

Sun Wukong and his companions continued their journey westward. As they were on the way, they suddenly saw a high mountain that seemed to connect with the sky in the distance.

Moving forward again and crossing the mountain, they suddenly saw auspicious light and colorful mist. There was a pavilion and the sound of bells and chimes could be heard faintly, and the sound of Buddhist chants could be heard.

The sound of bells and chimes in Sanskrit was long and melodious, and a few monks could be vaguely seen in the temple.

"Everyone, what is the place ahead?" Tang Sanzang asked.

He had already sensed the extraordinaryness of this place and thought that this might be the Great Leiyin Temple.

"Master, we can only know it after we see it." Zhu Bajie agreed.

Sun Wukong was too lazy to answer. He had already sensed the aura of the powerful being in the treasure temple. He was at most a Golden Immortal, and obviously not the Great Leiyin Temple.

Having experienced several disasters, he knew very well that this place might be related to the disaster, so he simply led the way.

The group continued to move forward and finally arrived in front of the treasure temple. As soon as they arrived, Tang Sanzang dismounted in panic.

He clearly saw the three big characters "Leiyin Temple" and became more convinced that this was the Great Leiyin Temple he had been looking for.

Seeing Tang Sanzang's panic, Sun Wukong just thought it was a little ridiculous. "There are four words on the mountain gate, take a closer look first!" Sun Wukong mocked.

He had always looked down on Tang Sanzang. If the Journey to the West had not depended on Tang Sanzang, he would have long since stopped wanting to serve this man.

Tang Sanzang climbed up tremblingly, and sure enough, he saw four big characters: Xiao Leiyin Temple.

"Even if it is the Little Leiyin Temple, there must be a Bodhisattva here!" Tang Sanzang said.

According to the scriptures, the dojos of many Bodhisattvas are not in the same place. Some are in the South China Sea, some are in Emei, and some are in Wutai Mountain.

In his opinion, this place was called Xiao Leiyin Temple, so it must be the dojo of some Bodhisattva.

After hearing Tang Sanzang's answer, although Sun Wukong realized the strangeness of the Little Leiyin Temple, he did not say anything to stop it.

If it is really a disaster, it will be good for him. Even if it is not a disaster, he only needs to kill the demons that block his way.

Moreover, he didn't care about Tang Sanzang's safety.

Having experienced many disasters, he had already figured out some of the situations.

So many disasters were caused by people from the Heavenly Palace and the Western Religion. Even if they captured Tang Sanzang, they would not take his life.

While thinking, I heard someone shouting in the temple:

"Tang Monk, you came from the East to pay homage to the Buddha, why are you so indifferent?"

Hearing these words, Tang Sanzang bowed hastily. In his opinion, this place must be extraordinary.

Zhu Bajie also kowtowed, and Sha Wujing also knelt down. Only Sun Wukong, who saw through everything, followed closely behind everyone.

Following Tang Sanzang's footsteps, everyone arrived at the main hall of the temple.

Outside the hall, beneath the dais, there are five hundred arhats, three thousand gates of the gates, four vajra statues, eight bodhisattvas, and bhikkhunis.

There are also countless holy monks and Taoists, with beautiful flowers and auspicious aura. It is clearly a Buddhist holy place.

Tang Sanzang and his companions bowed as they took each step. When they reached the altar, they saw that the person sitting on the altar was the Buddha Dipamkara whom they had seen before.

"Greetings, Buddha!" ​​Tang Sanzang said respectfully.

At this moment, he no longer had any doubts and was certain that this was the Great Leiyin Temple he was going to.

After all, the Buddha Dipankara is currently on the altar and he cannot be fake. He does not think that anyone dares to impersonate the Buddha.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing also bowed with each step, bowing to pay homage to Randeng on the altar.

Only Sun Wukong stood still without making any movement.

After entering Xiao Leiyin Temple, he had already seen through the truth. The Arhat, Vajra and Bodhisattva were clearly demons in disguise.

As for the Buddha Dipamkara on the altar, he saw through him at a glance and realized that he was also an acquaintance in disguise.

The person who pretended to be Dipankara was none other than the Thunder God in the Heavenly Palace, and also Maitreya, a disciple of the Western Religion.

At this moment, he had realized that this small Leiyin Temple was the disaster set by the Western Church.

He didn't care about this. After experiencing so many disasters, he had realized that the Heavenly Court and the Western Religion were just bluffing and would not really attack Tang Sanzang.

When the time is right, he only needs to teach Maitreya a lesson.

When he was in heaven, this was just the realm of the Golden Immortal, and Maitreya was his defeated opponent.

Now that he has achieved the status of Daluo Jinxian, Maitreya is still at the Golden Immortal realm. He does not think that Maitreya can cause any waves.

The next moment, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Sun Wukong, why don't you bow to the Buddha when you see him?" Maitreya on the lotus platform said sternly.

Today he has made all the preparations and will naturally not miss the opportunity to humiliate Sun Wukong.

After hearing what Maitreya said, Sun Wukong did not get angry but laughed and looked at Maitreya coldly.

"You bunch of evil beasts, do you really think that I, Sun Wukong, can't see through you? Just a defeated general of yours, but you want me, Sun Wukong, to kneel down to you!" Sun Wukong said loudly.

He originally thought this matter was interesting and wanted to see what tricks Maitreya had up his sleeve, so he decided to play along with Maitreya and help the disaster go smoothly.

But he didn't expect Maitreya to be so ungrateful that he wanted him to kneel down on his own initiative.

Not to mention that Maitreya was here, even if Randang himself came, he would not surrender.

Since Maitreya is so confused, he might as well let Maitreya face the reality.

As he spoke, he had already taken out the Ruyi Jingu Bang and pointed it directly at the disguised Maitreya on the lotus platform.

Seeing Sun Wukong taking action, the Vajra and Bodhisattvas no longer disguised themselves and surrounded Tang Sanzang and the others.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were caught off guard, and Tang Sanzang was powerless, and in an instant the three of them were trapped.

On the lotus platform, after seeing Sun Wukong offering the Ruyi Jingu Bang, Maitreya was not at all flustered.

"Sun Wukong, do you really think I can't do anything to you?" Maitreya said confidently.

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already taken out the Hunyuan Golden Cymbal and went to suppress Sun Wukong.

The golden cymbal was covered with Taoist symbols, and the Dao runes on it were jumping, causing the void to tremble continuously.

"You, a defeated general, dare to talk nonsense to me!" Sun Wukong snorted coldly.

He never expected that Maitreya would be so bold as to take the initiative to attack him.

He had already killed many disciples of the Western religion, so naturally he didn't mind having one more Maitreya.

As he spoke, the aura of the Golden Immortal level burst out, shaking the void.

The shadow of the monkey gathered behind him, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang smashed towards Maitreya like a mountain.

Seeing Sun Wukong's actions, Maitreya didn't seem to care and was still as confident as before.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the Hunyuan Golden Cymbal collided with the Ruyi Golden Cudgel.

However, the scene that Sun Wukong had expected did not appear. The golden cymbal remained motionless, as if it contained a power that did not belong to Maitreya.

This power gave Sun Wukong an extremely familiar feeling, and made him feel something was wrong.

The next moment, the Hunyuan Golden Cymbal shook, covering the sky and the sun, and the aura on it exploded completely.

"Ding!"

The roar spread in all directions, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang, which had undergone several transformations, was knocked away by Jin Rao.

The Hunyuan Golden Cymbal suddenly opened, and a huge hand made of Hunyuan Golden Cymbal came out from inside and grabbed Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong was caught off guard. He never imagined that Maitreya would have such means. He had no place to use his skills.

He was unable to break free from the hand and could only allow it to drag him into the Primordial Golden Circle. (End of this chapter)
