Chapter 187 Battle against Guanyin! The Hidden Figure!
Ye Ming grasped the Moonlight Box, smoothly lowered the Golden Cudgel behind him in a sword-carrying stance, and, mimicking Sun Wukong's tone, continued:
"As you all see, this guy goes on and on, nagging and whining, like there's a fly buzzing around all day..."
"Sorry, not just one, but a swarm of flies buzzing around you!"
"Fly into your ear!"
He threw away the golden cudgel and the Moonlight Box, rolling on the ground, yelling, "Help! Hahaha!"
A carp sprang to its feet, mimicking a star's performance, and said, "So I grabbed this fly, squeezed its belly, pulled out its intestines, then used its intestines to strangle its neck, and pulled hard..."
"Uh—" he stuck out his tongue, "His whole tongue is sticking out."
"I'll strike again!"
"Whoosh—"
He made a horizontal slash with his right hand, "and the whole world became quiet."
Ye Ming stood up, pointed in the direction of Tang Sanzang, and said, "Now everyone knows why I killed him."
Tang Sanzang sat cross-legged on the ground again, tilting his head to look at Ye Ming, and asked in his usual tone, "Really?"
"With all these excuses, you have no intention of going to retrieve the scriptures from the West." After listening to Ye Ming's explanation, Guanyin said without any emotion, "No matter how you explain it, I cannot forgive your act of betraying your master and ancestors."
"Sister," Tang Sanzang looked up at the sky, "this is your fault."
"Huh?" Guanyin asked in surprise.
Tang Sanzang straightened his cassock, put his hands together, and said, "Wukong's idea to eat me is just a concept; it hasn't become a reality yet."
"You have no evidence, so what crime has he committed?"
"Why not wait until he eats me, then you'll have evidence to convict him?"
Guanyin's pupils contracted slightly. "Tang Sanzang, I've heard you're long-winded, but I didn't expect you to be this long-winded."
"I gave you the golden headband to subdue this monkey, but you didn't use it."
"Sigh." Tang Sanzang sighed, "That golden circlet is the wrong size; it's heavy in the front and light in the back, and wider on the left than on the right."
"He was very uncomfortable wearing it and couldn't sleep all night. I'm worried he'll be affected too."
"Even though he's a monkey, you can't treat him like this."
"If the authorities find out, they'll accuse me of animal cruelty."
Hearing Tang Sanzang's words, Ye Ming felt as if a swarm of flies were buzzing around his ears.
He shook his head and tried to shoo away the non-existent flies, but Tang Sanzang's chanting continued in his ears.
"Speaking of that golden ring... Last year in Chenjia Village, I met a blacksmith."
"His craftsmanship is exquisite, his prices are fair, and he's honest and straightforward. Why don't I recommend you and you order another one?"
Tang Sanzang was still chanting incessantly when a hint of hostility appeared in the eyes of Ye Ming and Guanyin, who sat on a lotus platform in the sky.
Ye Ming: "Hey! Shut up!"
Guanyin: "Shut up!"
Ye Ming suddenly jumped, landing right in front of Tang Sanzang, and grabbed his neck with his right hand.
At that moment, Guanyin on the lotus throne also made her move, extending her jade hand and grabbing Tang Sanzang's neck at the same time as Ye Ming, even from a distance.
"Ah~~" Tang Sanzang shouted, looking innocently at Ye Ming who was baring his teeth in front of him, and then he and Ye Ming turned their heads to look at Guanyin in the sky at the same time.
"what!"
Guanyin was greatly alarmed and immediately withdrew her hand.
She made a Buddhist gesture with one hand in front of her, silently praying, "Forgive me, forgive me."
Ye Ming chuckled inwardly, released Tang Sanzang, looked at Guanyin in the sky, and grinned, saying:
"Now you can understand my pain!"
He moved swiftly, grabbed the golden cudgel from the ground, twirled it with a flourish, and then slammed it down on the Moonlight Box lying on the ground, striking Guanyin with a bang, exclaiming in disbelief:
Answer me!
The Moonlight Box flew towards Guanyin, but she simply flicked her orchid-like fingers, and the Moonlight Box flew into the distance.
Ye Ming pretended to look at the place where the Moonlight Box had landed, and saw that familiar figure about to run over. But he was surprised to find that Tang Sanzang had already arrived at the place where the Moonlight Box had flown away.
"Hey, I told you not to litter!"
Tang Sanzang ran down again, carrying his cassock in one hand and the Moonlight Box in the other.
Seeing this, Ye Ming suddenly leaped up, brandishing his golden cudgel, and flew towards Guanyin.
His gaze locked onto Guanyin, and he quickly circled around her, trying to find a flaw.
"Completely revealing the opponent's cultivation level!"
"Is Guanyin completely invincible in this world?"
"Then we can only follow the script."
"I hope I won't let myself down!"
Ye Ming glanced at the figure on the distant desert mountain peak that looked exactly like him, then suddenly swung his golden cudgel and blasted it towards the Guanyin in front of him.
"I'll hit you!!"
"Die, you demon monkey!" Guanyin shouted, and her mysterious jade hand suddenly grew larger, directly grabbing Ye Ming with one hand. With a slight squeeze, Ye Ming's body suddenly contracted, and his tongue almost came out.
With a sudden burst of strength, his indestructible body broke free from Guanyin's large hand, somersaulted in the air, and landed back on the ground.
"You think you can subdue me?"
Ye Ming casually brandished his staff, pointing it at Guanyin, and said, "Do you think you're the Buddha?"
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!" Tang Sanzang grabbed the Moonlight Box in one hand and waved the other in the air to stop them, rushing over hurriedly. "Sister Guanyin, please release Wukong and don't hurt him."
Ye Ming ignored Tang Sanzang's words. He wanted to see how far he was from the Guanyin statue, relying on his own strength and the supernatural powers of Sun Wukong.
He quietly unleashed the full power of the Immortal Gu, combined with his previous understanding of the laws of time and time control, and leaped forward, wielding the Golden Cudgel to strike Guanyin.
In the surrounding space, the flow of time changed abruptly and continuously.
Guanyin was surprised and waved the willow branch in her jade bottle, sprinkling out endless water droplets that collided with Ye Ming.
These water droplets were imbued with a terrifying law of water, and Ye Ming felt a suppression of the world contained within them.
"Clang clang!"
The golden cudgel in his hand gathered several streams of power, which struck the water droplets, producing a sound like metal clashing together.
"That's amazing!"
Ye Ming's heart tightened, and he dared not be careless. He frantically swung his golden cudgel to block all the water droplets.
"Wukong, I didn't expect that after five hundred years of suppression, your cultivation would not have decreased but increased."
"However, since you possess such cultivation, you should be even more dedicated to protecting Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West to retrieve the scriptures!"
Guanyin was surprised. It was clear that five hundred years of suppression was an attempt to wear down Sun Wukong's cultivation.
Unexpectedly, during the years the other party spent on their pilgrimage, they actually began to touch upon the principles of law.
Moreover, what he comprehended was one of the most powerful laws—the Law of Time!
If she truly gains control of the power of the laws of time, her attempt to suppress Sun Wukong today might be quite difficult.
"We can't let him continue to indulge himself!"
Guanyin murmured, and with her orchid-like fingers, she picked up a willow leaf and sent it flying straight toward Ye Ming.
"Go to the West to retrieve the scriptures! What scriptures are you talking about!"
Ye Ming shouted and swung his golden cudgel, intending to continue charging forward.
But suddenly, the willow leaf that flew out of Guanyin's hand became incredibly large, covering the entire sky.
Ye Ming was shocked. His wood and water arts had both reached the Grandmaster level, but the moment his willow leaf, which covered the sky, appeared, he instantly felt that Guanyin's wood arts foundation had far surpassed his!
In terms of the power of laws encountered within the Moonlight Box, Guanyin is someone who has thoroughly comprehended the laws of wood and water!
"Buzz!!"
The willow leaf pressed down with terrifying power, and Ye Ming suddenly pointed his golden cudgel to the sky, shouting, "Grow!!"
With a whoosh, the golden cudgel suddenly grew larger and stabbed towards the willow leaf in the sky that blocked out the clouds and the sun!
But the moment Ye Ming touched the willow leaf, he felt an overwhelming pressure surge over him!
This pressure also carried a binding force, directly suppressing all his cultivation and immortal energy back into his body.
Even the enormous golden cudgel was pressed back down at this moment.
The willow leaves instantly contracted, completely enveloping and binding Ye Ming into a ball.
Ye Ming felt the binding force and tried to break through the willow leaf with his own strength.
"Following the laws of Heaven and Earth!"
He shouted loudly, and his body began to swell rapidly!
But in that instant, before his body could swell, the willow leaf contracted instantly, almost squeezing his tongue out.
At this moment, Ye Ming suddenly realized the gap between himself and Guanyin.
The power of laws cannot be broken without using laws to counter it.
His power—the Way of Metal, the Way of Soul, the Way of Time—had not yet fully entered the gate of the laws, nor had he completely mastered the corresponding power of the laws.
Under these circumstances, he naturally could not break free from the constraints of Guanyin's willow leaf.
This is a fault-like crushing.
Just then, Guanyin, holding up her jade vase, shouted, "Retract!"
Instantly, a terrifying suction force surged out from the jade bottle, directly pulling Ye Ming, who was almost trapped like a dumpling, into the jade bottle.
"Gurgle!!"
Ye Ming suddenly spat out a drop of water and struggled to float to the surface.
He looked around the environment inside the jade bottle and found himself on a huge body of water, with a giant willow tree soaring into the sky in the middle of the lake.
The rich elements of water and wood permeate the entire space.
Within this space, Ye Ming sensed that all of his cultivation was being bound.
Without Guanyin's permission, he would have been unable to break through the space of this jade bottle.
Unless, one completely masters the power of the laws and uses the laws to fight against the laws!
Ye Ming floated on the surface of the Xuan Shui water, closed his eyes, and felt the rich water and wood elements in the space.
This jade bottle contains what can be described as Guanyin's enlightenment treasure, filled with rich wood and water laws!
His foundation in wood and water was already quite strong. At this moment, with flames swirling in his eyes and his fiery eyes purified by the strange fire, he directly saw through the essence of these elements and came into contact with that trace of the laws of wood and water!
"Right now, Tang Sanzang might be pleading for me, and with 'me' five hundred years from now backing me up, it means that everything is still within my control."
"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."
Ye Ming smiled quietly, closed his eyes, and began to thoroughly comprehend the laws of water and wood!
Outside, after Guanyin put Ye Ming's incarnation of Sun Wukong into the Jade Bottle, a hint of murderous intent appeared on her face, and she said indifferently:
"Today I will act on behalf of Heaven!"
Tang Sanzang suddenly stopped, put the Moonlight Box aside, picked up his golden staff, and said:
"Sister Guanyin, please have mercy!"
"Who is without fault? He is, after all, my disciple. If a disciple makes a mistake, the master also bears responsibility."
"Please, Guanyin, spare his life!"
"If I don't eliminate him, I can't answer to the Heavenly Venerable and the World Honored One." Guanyin looked at Tang Sanzang pleading for mercy below and made a Buddhist bow.
Tang Sanzang met Guanyin's gaze, one hand covering his chest, "I won't make things difficult for you."
"I beg Guanyin to tell the Heavenly Venerable and Buddha that this humble monk is willing to give his life in exchange for another's."
"Huh?" Guanyin stared at Tang Sanzang below, her eyes filled with surprise.
She never imagined that this long-winded Tang Monk would say such a thing.
In terms of status, Jin Chanzi held a high position in Buddhism, and even she could not ignore the other party's suggestion.
With sincerity in his eyes, Tang Sanzang met Guanyin's surprised gaze and said earnestly, "As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will?"
"Please understand, sister."
"I do this simply to reform my wayward disciple, in accordance with the compassionate and fearless spirit of Buddha!"
After saying this, Tang Sanzang, holding a golden staff, slowly sat cross-legged on the ground.
He placed the golden staff flat between his knees and made a Buddhist gesture of clasping his hands together in front of Guanyin.
When Guanyin saw Tang Sanzang in this state, the evil aura around her quietly dissipated.
"Good, good, good."
"Wukong, I hope that one day you will be able to understand your master's spirit of sacrificing his life for righteousness."
Just then, Tang Sanzang learned the answer from Guanyin's eyes.
With a smile on his face, he picked up the square-shaped Zen staff with both hands and then suddenly threw it into the air.
Buzz!
The golden staff spun in the air, and then, guided by a special force, its sharp end plunged straight down towards the top of Tang Sanzang's head.
Tang Sanzang's face was full of kindness, his hands clasped together in front of his chest, and he murmured:
"Namo Amitabha Buddha".
call out! !
The golden staff pierced through her head, blood spurted out, and a drop of blood flew high, landing on Guanyin's right lip.
Guanyin gazed indifferently at the scene below, her tongue twitching slightly as she licked a trickle of blood into her mouth.
A sinister glint flashed in her eyes as she shook her head absently, saying, "Without undergoing catalysis, it's still not mature enough!"
With a wave of her hand, she swept up Tang Sanzang's body, holding the jade bottle, and headed towards the underworld.
The red clouds dissipated, and the place fell silent once more.
Just then, a young man dressed in blue stepped forward and appeared directly at the spot where Tang Sanzang had just perished.
He raised his hand and the Moonlight Box, which Guanyin had overlooked and forgotten, instantly appeared in his hand.
"Mature?"
"It seems the gods and Buddhas of this world have grand ambitions!"
"But what does that have to do with me? My task is simply to resolve Sun Wukong's inner demons, complete the mission in this world, and survive!"
"However, the Moonlight Box is useless now; it's time to completely master this law of time!"
He raised his hand and opened the gate to the Fox Fairy Paradise, then stepped inside with the Moonlight Box. (End of Chapter)
