Chapter 271 Xuanzang knows the reason, and the 6-eared flower and fruit is called the king
With a whoosh, Sun Wukong appeared in the dilapidated temple like a ghost. He had a flattering smile on his face, which seemed to contain some flattering intentions, and he held a bowl of vegetarian food steadily in his hands.
Xuanzang's eyes widened, and a look of astonishment and confusion flashed across his face, but he quickly hid this complicated expression, deliberately frowned, and pretended to be angry. "Why did you come back?" His tone was full of reproach and coldness.
Sun Wukong chuckled, with a hint of helplessness and persistence in his smile. "Master, I am worried about you. After I left last night, I thought about it and felt that I couldn't just leave you alone. The journey west is full of difficulties and obstacles. Without me, how could you reach Lingshan? Besides, I know you were just angry, so how could I really leave? Look, I brought you some vegetarian food, please eat it quickly, your health is very important."
"Hmph, this monkey is extremely stubborn and unruly. Go away and don't come back." Xuanzang waved his hand again. The action was decisive and firm, as if he wanted to completely drive Sun Wukong out of his world.
"Without me, how can Bajie and Junior Brother Sha protect you to the West? How can you obtain the true scriptures?" There was a flash of anger in Sun Wukong's eyes, and he left this cruel remark.
"Without you, I can still obtain the true scriptures." Xuanzang turned his back to Sun Wukong. Behind the seemingly tough words, he was chanting Buddha's name in his heart, secretly praying that all this would not be true.
"Hmph!" Sun Wukong showed a fierce expression on his face, as if he had become a different person. He quickly gathered a golden light in his hand, and the light instantly hit Xuanzang. Xuanzang was defenseless and fell down. Sun Wukong did not hesitate to roll up his luggage and turned into a golden light and flew away.
That’s right, the Sun Wukong in front of him was not the real Sun Wukong, but the Six-eared Macaque. He rolled up Xuanzang and his companions’ luggage and ran back to Huaguo Mountain, ready to impersonate Sun Wukong.
The real Sun Wukong deliberately went to Guanyin to ask her to persuade Xuanzang. He knew Guanyin's important position in the journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures, so he did this to lower Guanyin's vigilance and lay the groundwork for subsequent actions.

Sha Wujing, who had gone out to pick herbs, and Zhu Bajie, who had gone out to beg for alms, came back. As soon as they entered the ruined temple, they were stunned by the scene before them. They saw Xuanzang lying on the ground, unconscious, his face as pale as paper. The surroundings were in a mess, as if they had experienced a fierce battle.
"Master!" Zhu Bajie shouted in panic, his voice full of worry and fear. "What's going on? What happened to Master?" He rushed to Xuanzang's side, his fat body looking particularly agile at this moment.
Sha Wujing looked solemn, his resolute face full of worry. He carefully checked Xuanzang's injuries and said slowly: "Master has been hit hard, it seems that a powerful monster has attacked." His eyes revealed calmness and analysis, trying to find clues from this chaotic scene.
They searched everywhere for clues, but found that their luggage was missing. Zhu Bajie stamped his feet in anger, and his angry look seemed to shake the whole temple down. "It must be some blind monster who did this! I will find him and avenge my master!"
Sha Wujing calmly analyzed: "This matter is suspicious, we need to take a long-term view. First rescue the master, and then make plans." His voice was steady and powerful, giving people a sense of security.
The two worked together to use their magic power to heal Xuanzang. They waved their hands, and the light flashed, and they continuously injected their magic power into Xuanzang's body. After a long time, Xuanzang woke up slowly. His face was still pale, but his eyes were a little clearer. He said weakly: "It was... it was that monkey... he beat me and took my luggage."
Zhu Bajie's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. "How could the eldest brother do such a thing? There must be a misunderstanding." He scratched his head, full of doubts.
Sha Wujing also frowned, and the deep lines on his brows revealed his worry. "Big Brother has always been loyal to Master, there must be something hidden behind this."
Xuanzang closed his eyes in pain, his heart filled with helplessness and sadness. "I don't want to believe it either, but the facts are before us. Let's continue our journey westward and no longer count on him. Wujing, go to Huaguo Mountain and get the luggage back."
In fact, Xuanzang knew very well that the person who hurt him was not Sun Wukong but Liuer Macaque. The previous dream predicted the future, and Liuer Macaque was arranged by Tathagata. In his dream, Tathagata covered Wukong with a golden bowl, and Wukong would be beaten to death by Liuer Macaque, and then Liuer Macaque would pretend to be Sun Wukong to accompany him to obtain the scriptures.
There is still hope. This has not happened yet. All we need to do is recognize which one is the six-eared macaque pretending to be Wukong. By then, with Wukong's ability, he can subdue the six-eared macaque, and the problem will be solved.
Sha Wujing took the order and immediately set off for Huaguo Mountain. Along the way, he was full of thoughts. He was puzzled by the behavior of his eldest brother, and worried about his master's injury and the future of the journey. His steps were heavy and firm, and each step seemed to carry a great responsibility. He recalled the things he had experienced with his eldest brother, that brave and fearless figure, that loyal and firm eyes, how could he do anything to hurt his master? But the facts before him forced him to face reality.
Sha Wujing rode the cloud and sped towards the Flower-Fruit Mountain. The cloud flew through the wind, bringing up gusts of air. Finally, the familiar yet unfamiliar outline of the Flower-Fruit Mountain appeared before his eyes. When he arrived at the Flower-Fruit Mountain, he saw monkeys making a lot of noise on the mountain. The countless monkeys were jumping, playing, and shouting in the mountains. The whole Flower-Fruit Mountain seemed to be immersed in a sea of joy. And up there, Sun Wukong was sitting on the throne, looking majestic and insolent.
"Isn't this Tang Monk's disciple Sha Wujing? What business has he in my Flower-Fruit Mountain? " The six-eared macaque raised his chin slightly, his eyes full of teasing. There was a hint of provocation and sarcasm in his tone, as if he was mocking Sha Wujing's overestimation of his own abilities.
Sha Wujing's face was grim. "Master, let me pick up the luggage and continue to get the scriptures. Where is the luggage?" Sha Wujing's voice was steady and powerful, as if he was announcing his determination. However, at this moment, he just felt that the Monkey King in front of him was strange. His expression and tone seemed to be different from that of the eldest brother in daily life, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"We can go to get the scriptures by ourselves." The six-eared macaque raised his mouth slightly, revealing a strange smile. Then, he clapped his hands gently. From the cave on the side, another Tang Monk, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing came out. The fake Tang Monk had a calm face, the fake Zhu Bajie was naive, and the fake Sha Wujing was carrying luggage. Several people looked at Sha Wujing and smiled, and the smile was full of weirdness and mystery.
"Fakes!" Sha Wujing was instantly furious, his eyes seemed to be burning with fire. Not only did Sun Wukong injure his master and steal his luggage, but now he even created fakes of them and wanted to go to the West to obtain the scriptures. This is simply an unforgivable sin. The anger in Sha Wujing's heart erupted like a volcano. He raised the magic staff for subduing demons, and the staff flashed coldly in the sun. He rushed towards the fakes without hesitation, as fast as a flash of lightning.
In an instant, Sha Wujing beat the fakes to death. The fake Tang Monk, fake Zhu Bajie and fake Sha Wujing were completely powerless under the power of the magic staff. They fell to the ground screaming, and then revealed their true form, which turned out to be a few monkey spirits. The bodies of the monkey spirits lay on the ground, with messy hair and bloodstains. Sha Wujing looked at this scene, and the anger in his heart subsided a little.
