Chapter 1049 Unfaithful and Heartless (Supplement)
"Roller blind! Roller blind?!"
White lotuses surround the boundless heavens and earth, the celestial realm of the Unborn Mother.
"Roller up! Wake up! That's neither Tang Sanzang nor Sun Wukong!"
The scholar-like lantern-bearing messenger held the wandering son's lantern and called out with all his might, but Sha Wujing in the Great Zhou Palace completely ignored him. He then joined Li Huowang, whose true spirit was still in his hometown of the void, in raising a cup and drinking with his 'master' and 'eldest brother'.
"Brother Meng... Oh, Senior Brother, where did Master go?" Slightly tipsy, Li Huowang asked, looking at the same scenery and the same people in all the heavens and earth, "Is Master playing a trick on me?"
"Bald monk?" Meng Qi, who had transformed into a golden ape, was taken aback at first, then chuckled and pointed, "Junior Brother Sha, don't really have a fit. Turn around and take a look?"
"Dr. Su is right next to you, Huowang," Yang Na said, tugging at Li Huowang's sleeve.
Just as Li Huowang turned around in a daze, outlines began to rapidly form in the air, with white bones emerging from the outlines, followed by flesh and skin, as if a painter were depicting a scene, from dim and blurry to clear, in less than a breath in the eyes of an ordinary person.
Just as Li Huowang finished turning around...
A monk dressed in a kasaya and holding a nine-ringed staff appeared simultaneously inside the royal palace of Vacuum Homeland.
It was Su Lin, who did not exist in the first place and could not be 'reflected in the mirror', and was a real life, not a person or thing being reflected.
"So you were here, Master!" Li Huowang exclaimed in realization, laughing, "That was fun!"
He did not discover the heavens inside and outside the vacuum homeland that the Dinghai Pearl had transformed into. The Su Lin outside did not have the Nine-Ringed Staff in his hand, and his actions and words were completely different from those inside.
Meanwhile, 'Tang Sanzang Su Lin' started chatting with Li Huowang and Yang Na on his own.
The lamp-bearing messenger, who was secretly observing, looked around and felt inexplicably frightened.
"Sha Wujing!"
“Wujing, believe me, your second senior brother had already eaten ten true dragons, nine-headed dragons, and eight-headed serpents before he came here,” Su Lin whispered.
"I didn't eat it. Don't try to fool me with stuff made from cultivation techniques." Shi Hao tore off a six-legged, four-winged beast wing and gnawed on it, his mouth dripping with oil.
He had seen this thing before in the Hundred Broken Mountains of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but in other worlds, it was recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and called Fei Yi.
After reading the book, Shi Hao planned to organize a feast of mountains and seas when he had the chance.
"Bajie, if you really eat all the food here by yourself, where are we going to get more ingredients?"
As Su Lin was speaking, he grabbed the void and pulled out an arm that shimmered with scriptures, its surface wreathed in the power of the rules of time. It was silently reaching out to Zhu Wu, the Bai Ze demon god who was the hotel's lobby manager.
Shi Hao grinned, not embarrassed at all, and naturally withdrew his hand: "I knew there was still a peak Celestial Immortal demon left here."
“There aren’t many Bai Ze left in the real world. I want to take one back as a mascot,” Su Lin said irritably.
Even though Gensokyo already has Keine, who would complain about having too many of these species that come with their own lucky aura?
Zhu Wu, the demon god who had just left Shaolin and entered the Great Zhou Dynasty, was feeling frustrated and confused. He was excited to see the demon idol, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, but disappointed that it was Su Meng in disguise.
But then, a memory suddenly appeared in his mind: a terrifying giant hand grabbing at him a few minutes earlier. The fear and shock from the past continued into the present, causing Zhu Wu to react in a new way.
'You really want to eat me?!'
His pupils contracted, and he immediately realized the situation. He hid behind Su Lin, trembling with fear.
Zhu Bajie?
Come on, when Marshal Tianpeng traveled to the West, he was only at the same level as me. This is no pig at all; he's clearly a powerful master who likes to play the fool to take advantage of others.
"I told you not to use the David's Technique for cultivation, otherwise even if I sold Ye Fan, I still wouldn't be able to support you."
Shi Hao has always liked to eat, but his appetite is not so terrifying or uncontrollable. It's just that the cultivation technique of absorbing spiritual energy gave him a legitimate reason to replace cultivation with eating.
I eat so much purely to be lazy and enjoy myself.
“If you eat any more, we might as well sell the little black dragon to Takamagahara, split the travel expenses, and go our separate ways. You go back to your Shijiazhuang, and I'll go back to my Western Paradise.” Su Lin sighed.
"It's alright, my wife has money and will buy me a brothel ticket to redeem me."
Lu Mingfei habitually shrugged off: "If all else fails, Brother Ershi's Dharma body is still hanging on the sun."
"This is hell."
"Uh, sorry."
Lu Mingfei scratched his head, but Shi Hao's Adam's apple visibly moved.
Su Lin then took out a resurrection artifact. Although he didn't know how effective it would be under the suppression of the laws of the real world, it might still work if only bones remained.
"Think carefully back to what Pigsy said before he died."
Stop using those outdated Japanese Journey to the West tropes! He clearly said, "I don't know anything!"
Meng Qi's eyelids twitched. If these people really ate his second senior brother as a reserve food, the difficulty of resurrecting him would be more than just facing the mark of Thor.
In the real world, changing established facts is extremely difficult.
"Is there still a group of demon sages in the pure land opened up by the Golden Cudgel of Mount Ling?"
Su Lin licked his lips and said, "The Bull Demon King is still here too."
"Didn't you tell the Bull Demon King that you wouldn't eat beef when you went west?"
"The Roc Demon King is fine, and the Great Sage Who Overturns the Sea is also acceptable."
"When 'Old Sun' gets back, he'll really fight you to the death!"
"Is there such a good thing?"
Seeing that Su Lin seemed to have found a reason to make a max-level monkey wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and even planned to call Shi Hao along to pry open the Golden Cudgel in the center of Mount Ling, Meng Qi immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Although the relationship between humans and demons has not been repaired at the current point in time and they are still in a state of irreconcilable conflict, if this were to happen, it would likely trigger a second catastrophe and bring danger.
Don't misunderstand, Meng Qi isn't worried about these two.
When the Demon Saint led the demon race to attack Mount Ling, Ananda reversed the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation, burying all the Buddhas and demons of Mount Ling together. But at least they managed to get there. However, if they were to go and attack the Primordial Heavenly Court in their current weakened state...
"Feng Xiaoxiao, I've transferred the deposit for Pangu to you." Su Lin placed the order on the spot.
[Ding! The Universal Knowledge Talisman has been credited to your account.]
Feng Xiaoxiao, who was eating and drinking heartily and had no ladylike manners whatsoever, had just put down her beer mug when she glanced at the numbers on the Universal Knowledge Symbol and immediately widened her eyes and gave a thumbs up.
Not only do they have to face Pangu, but also the most stern mother of the demon race.
"It's alright, I'll let you bring Yang Jian and Nezha along."
"?"
Yang Jian, who had been observing Yang Jian face-to-face and making the other man feel a little creeped out, turned around upon hearing the sound. Taking this opportunity, he manifested his form and walked towards this group of eccentric and mysterious guests.
He had long been curious, but had never had a suitable opportunity. After all, today was Meng Qi's wedding day, and among the guests present...
Yang Jian's brow was slightly cracked with pale gold. He swept his gaze across the world depicted in ink and wash paintings. Yan Sen, who was enjoying his meal, saw this and nodded slightly in his direction.
'Who is this again?' Yang Jian's lips twitched, and his figure returned to its former appearance.
Dressed in a flowing robe, wearing a cloud-patterned crown, straw sandals, and a silk sash, he had a handsome and refined appearance and found his senior brother, 'Monkey,' with ease.
"What do you want?"
"This is none of your business, get out of here, go away!"
Meng Qi waved for people to leave and winked at the guy who had come to join in the fun, but Yang Jian seemed oblivious, sitting down on his own and curiously observing the others.
"Yang Jian?" Sha Wujing murmured subconsciously.
"It is I, the real deal. If you were Sha Wujing, you would recognize me," Yang Jian chuckled.
"During the Journey to the West, the Nine-Headed Insect had already attained the perfection of creation, and the monkey was not good at water combat. Even though Marshal Tianpeng had the treasure of controlling the water of the Milky Way and could suppress the monkey by joining forces, he still captured Tang Sanzang along with him."
"At that time, the Dragon Clan served the Heavenly Court, and the Demon Clan used the Nine-Headed Insect as a link to instigate Princess Wansheng to go to the Great Luo Heaven and steal the Nine-Leaf Lingzhi planted by the Queen Mother of the West."
"What appears to be a mere conflict of interest between the Demon Emperor and the Queen Mother is actually more complex than that. After all, I happened to be passing by the Jade Wave Pool on my way back from hunting, and the prey I was carrying was something the Heavenly Emperor needed."
He recounted some secrets from the Journey to the West in a casual tone, as if chatting, which, combined with the style of the pilgrimage team in front of him, surprisingly did not make him feel disgusted.
Seeing that there was a story to tell, Su Lin and Shi Hao temporarily put aside their idea of going to Ling Mountain to find ingredients.
As Sha Wujing listened to these words, his indifferent eyes deepened, and he slowly closed them.
Within the Dinghai Pearl, lies a vacuum-filled hometown.
Sha Wujing opened his eyes, and a vast and boundless aura, like that of the universe, gradually spread out. He looked at the Lamp-Holding Divine Envoy with a solemn gaze, who clearly showed fear and suspicion.
"Let's finish what my mother asked us to do," Sha Wujing said in a low, slightly hoarse voice.
"I thought you were truly bewitched and couldn't distinguish truth from falsehood!" The coldness in the Lamplighter's eyes subsided slightly: "Why did it take so long?"
“Sometimes, within the fragments of cosmic light derived from the real world, there will appear special universes where the beings are exactly the same as those in the real world, only with slight differences in their historical development,” Sha Wujing said.
"So what?" asked the Lamp-Bearing Envoy, puzzled.
"So I was just thinking," Sha Wujing raised his pale, colorless eyes and touched the white bone and glass prayer beads hanging on his chest:
"Could there still be some hidden parts of the self left behind by Master and Second Senior Brother in these special fragments of cosmic light, and Su Meng took in the imprint left by Eldest Senior Brother in these fragments of cosmic light and brought out these 'other parts'?"
"Perhaps they really did experience the Journey to the West, and perhaps Master still has a chance to come back to life."
"You're insane!" The Lamp-Bearing Envoy's pupils dilated as he scrutinized Sha Wujing, saying:
"When all Buddhas fall together, not only will the true spirits of all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats on Mount Ling perish, but their other selves, which are scattered throughout the heavens and myriad realms, will also vanish along with their original selves. How could there possibly be any that escape the net?!"
"Moreover, neither Tianpeng nor Bailong have proven their legendary status. The cultivation level of the person Su Meng invited is so low that even you and I cannot fathom it. Could it be 'himself'?!"
Every word and sentence makes sense, and they are all facts that Sha Wujing himself knows.
“Yes.” Sha Wujing’s expression darkened slightly, and he sighed softly, “But Yang Jian is real, not someone else in disguise or impersonating him.”
"He has returned ahead of schedule?" The Lamp-Bearing Envoy frowned. "Is Su Meng relying on Him?"
Sha Wujing shook his head: "It should be a wisp of true spirit clone."
Upon hearing this, the Lamp-Bearing God thought for a long time before taking the Wanderer's Lantern out of his bosom.
The crystal goblet was crystal clear and flawless, holding a dark, oily liquid, from which a five-colored wick extended.
The wick was lit, and the Lamp-Bearing God used the Wanderer's Lamp to burn something. Around the warm, bright yellow flame, the demonic energy of the Nine Netherworlds surged, forming an endless abyss.
Immediately afterwards, the bright white sun was quickly obscured by a dark shadow, as if it were swallowed up.
“Prepare yourself; I cannot leave my Vacuum Homeland to meet you,” said the Lamplighter.
Sha Wujing ignored him, staring blankly at the palace hall created by the vacuum homeland, where a monk holding a nine-ringed staff acted differently from the surroundings.
"Ugh"
Sha Wujing closed his eyes again.
Life is full of ups and downs.
The Great Zhou, the Great Jin, the Western Regions, and even overseas.
The rumor that Kuangdao Su Meng was the reincarnation of a demonic Buddha spread quickly, fueled by those with ulterior motives.
Some lineages inherited from the sages of the Middle Ages have even secretly discovered some clues, linking the identities of the three ancient overlords together, making the similarities even more obvious.
Some unorthodox individuals who escaped from Su Zhenhuan, the Black Lotus of Bewitching Hearts, admitted that they saw a projection left by the Demon Buddha at Shaolin Temple.
During this period, many sects sent people to visit Shaolin Temple, intending to force them to interrogate them and search the temple. However, they found that after being attacked by demons and unorthodox sects, Abbot Kongwen's condition had worsened rather than improved.
Helpless, these sects could only unite and, on the grounds of the survival of the people, hope that Kong Wen would frankly reveal what he saw on the back mountain of Shaolin that night.
The monks' attitude of not lying and remaining silent has ironically allowed various rumors and speculations to spring up like mushrooms after rain in all parts of the real world.
For a time, people panic.
"People's words are scary."
Under the seal of the Five Finger Mountain of Mount Ling, the Demon Buddha Ananda chuckled in the darkness: "The Buddha said that people should constantly restrain their speech with the wisdom of non-leaking, and their speech also has wonderful uses."
“By using the cognition and cause and effect of beings in the real world as a guide, I will give you more than 90% of the hidden ‘other self’.”
"What does it matter if we don't dwell on the past? From this moment on, you are me, and whether you accept this gift is not up to you."
The universe in the real world is as vast as the ocean.
After realizing that he had already failed once, and that Su Meng's growth rate after breaking free of his control was terrifyingly fast, the Demon Buddha Ananda decisively abandoned most of his hidden projections of his other self and gave them to Su Meng for fusion.
The more projections of the other self the Demon Buddha controls, the slower Su Meng's path to legend becomes. If he wants to prove himself the only one in all realms, he must refine in reverse.
The ebb and flow of things at their source is something that Su Meng cannot refuse.
If one had to put it into words, this behavior was of great benefit to Su Meng.
"Take it if you can, 'Ananda'." The Demon Buddha laughed heartily, and at this moment, within Mount Ling, the forest of Buddha's remains began to shrink rapidly at a visible rate.
The chilling sounds of chewing and swallowing echoed within the sacred mountain.
The Western Regions, a desolate wasteland, are covered with black sand and gravel.
One by one, demons rushed out of the "Shangri-La" and surged toward the western border of the Great Zhou Dynasty amidst the swirling demon clouds.
"Those who are unfaithful and fickle, kill them!"
It took some time to check for typos.
