Chapter 273: Xuanzang goes to heaven for his disciple, the real and fake Wukong disturbs the Dragon
"Master, what are you going to do in Lingshan?"
"What about the golden bowl, Master? What are you talking about?"
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were a little confused as to why Xuanzang suddenly said these words.
"Go to Lingshan to save Wukong"
"Lingshan? Didn't Senior Brother and that fake guy go to the East China Sea? Why did they go to Lingshan?"
Sha Wujing was very confused. Shouldn't he go to the East China Sea?
Xuanzang opened his mouth but no sound came out. He remembered that the six-eared macaque pretending to be Wukong in his dream could know what was happening thousands of miles away and could hear all people's conversations. If he explained it clearly to Bajie and the others here, he was afraid that the six-eared macaque would see through it and leak the secret. Therefore, he decided to go to Lingshan in person to prevent this tragedy from happening.
Zhu Bajie lowered his head, thinking silently. Xuanzang's abnormal behavior reminded him of the conspiracy with Sun Wukong and Roth some time ago. Sure enough, the master had already noticed the conspiracy behind this catastrophe, and all the strange behaviors before were testing this conspiracy. Zhu Bajie raised his head, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He looked at Xuanzang and said, "Master, although I don't know the specific reason, I believe that the master must have a deep meaning. Since you are going to Lingshan, let's set off as soon as possible! I, the old pig, will also risk it all, and I must rescue the eldest brother with the master."
Sha Wujing also nodded quickly and said, "Master, Second Senior Brother is right. No matter what the road ahead is, we must give it a try."
Zhu Bajie had no other choice but to take his master to Lingshan to delay Tathagata and Guanyin and wait for the plan of Sun Wukong and Luo Te in the East China Sea to succeed. Even if Tathagata knew that Liu Er Mihou was killed by them, he would be speechless and could not suffer in silence. He could not directly attack them as they were all key figures in the journey to the West and shouldered great destiny. He was also a disciple of the Human Religion and the grandson of Taishang Laojun. Sha Wujing was most likely a pawn of the Jade Emperor.
"Second brother, how do we get to the Lingshan Mountain in the West? If we use the cloud-flying technique, how can Master with his mortal body carry the weight? And if we use the wind, the journey to the Lingshan Mountain is too long, and I'm afraid Master won't be able to endure it," said Sha Wujing.
Zhu Bajie scratched his head, thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed a difficult problem. But I, old Pig, have a solution." Zhu Bajie walked to the side, led the white dragon horse over, and stroked the little white dragon's head with his hand.
"Little White Dragon, Little White Dragon, I know you can understand what I say. Why don't you transform into your original form and carry Master to Lingshan?"
The little white dragon seemed to understand Zhu Bajie's words, nodded slightly, and then a flash of light appeared, and it turned into a majestic white dragon. After the little white dragon turned into a majestic white dragon, Xuanzang looked at the giant dragon in front of him that exuded a mysterious aura, and his heart was filled with emotion. The companion who had once silently accompanied them all the way west on a white horse now showed such powerful strength and majesty, which made Xuanzang both amazed and relieved.
Zhu Bajie smiled and said to Xuanzang, "Master, it's all right now. The little white dragon will carry you to Lingshan Mountain, which is fast and stable." Xuanzang nodded slightly, and with the careful support of Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, he slowly rode on the white dragon. The little white dragon hissed softly, and the sound seemed to penetrate the sky, carrying a firm determination. It soared into the air, instantly bringing up a gust of wind, and rushed towards Lingshan Mountain.
Along the way, they were as fast as lightning. Xuanzang tightly grasped the white dragon's scales, feeling the strong air current whizzing past him. He was nervous and expectant. He was nervous because he didn't know what kind of difficulties and obstacles were waiting for them ahead, and he was expecting that he might find a way to rescue Sun Wukong in Lingshan. Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing followed closely beside him, concentrating on protecting Xuanzang at all times.
However, their actions did not escape the ears of the six-eared macaque. "Humph, are they going to Lingshan? It seems that they want to find Tathagata to deal with me, the fake Wukong. But, so what? There is no need to be afraid. As long as we lead Sun Wukong to Lingshan, Tathagata will restrain Sun Wukong with the golden bowl, and then I will beat him to death with a stick, and we will be free of trouble forever." The six-eared macaque was thinking about his own conspiracy in his mind, with a cunning light in his eyes.
Sun Wukong and Liu'er Macaque rode their somersault clouds and went directly into the East China Sea and headed straight for the Dragon Palace. They wanted to find the old Dragon King to recognize the Ruyi Jingu Bang in their hands and see which one was real and which one was fake.
"Old Dragon King!"
"Old Dragon King!"
Two people rushed into the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea and shouted "Old Dragon King" in the palace, but the old Dragon King did not come out. At this time, Prime Minister Turtle slowly walked out from the corner. His body was shaking a little. Five hundred years ago, Sun Wukong had turned the Dragon Palace upside down, and now two of them came at once.
"Great...Great Sage"
"You old turtle, don't call me that! I am the real Monkey King, Sun Wukong!" The Sun Wukong who was grabbing Prime Minister Turtle's clothes was glaring with anger. The other Sun Wukong was not to be outdone. He stepped forward and said, "Humph, you fake, how dare you act wild here. Prime Minister Turtle, don't be fooled by him, I am the real one."
Prime Minister Turtle was so frightened that he was shaking all over, not knowing what to do. "Two great saints, I really can't tell the difference. What should I do?"
At this time, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the Dragon Palace also gathered around, looking at the two identical Sun Wukongs, looking at each other and talking a lot.
"What should I do? Of the two great saints, which one is the real one?"
"From the looks and the aura, I can't tell them apart."
"Old turtle, where is the old dragon king?"
Prime Minister Turtle said tremblingly: "Two great saints, calm down. The Dragon King went to the abyss where the Tianhe Dinghai Divine Needle Iron was placed early this morning."
"You fake, do you know where the golden hoop was stored? I don't think you know it either."
The other Sun Wukong sneered and said, "Humph, how could I not know? I have also been to that abyss. Don't try to deceive Prime Minister Turtle and the others here."
The two Sun Wukongs started arguing again, neither of them willing to give in. Prime Minister Turtle and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals stood by anxiously, but could do nothing.
At this moment, one of the Monkey Kings suddenly had an idea and said, "Since you also know that place, let's go there together and see who is more familiar with the situation there and who will be the real Monkey King."
The other Sun Wukong agreed without hesitation: "Okay, let's go. I'm not afraid of you."
So, the two Monkey Kings flew together towards the abyss where the Tianhe Dinghai Shenzhen Iron was placed. Along the way, they were secretly competing with each other, and neither wanted to be outdone by the other.
When they arrived at the abyss, they were surrounded by a mysterious atmosphere. The place where the golden hoop was once stored seemed to still have some powerful spiritual power fluctuations.
One of the Monkey Kings spoke first: "When I took the Golden Cudgel from here, there were many wonderful things here. You, a fake, certainly don't know them." The other Monkey King retorted: "Don't talk nonsense. I also know the secrets of this place."
They began to recall the scene of taking the golden hoop, trying to prove their identities through details. However, the descriptions of the two were very similar, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
