Chapter 268: 99% of them are our people.
Tianqi looked at the overjoyed Wukong and smiled, saying:
"Let's go, Wukong, it's time for us to return to the underworld."
"Journey to the West...it's about to begin, I should go back and check how the arrangements are going!"
Wukong, on the other hand, had absolutely no objections.
He happily followed Tianqi back with his new title.
......
The Heavenly Court, the Lingxiao Palace.
The Jade Emperor gazed at the strange phenomenon in the East Sea and remained silent for a long time.
In the end, he simply waved his hand and muttered to himself:
"Let them be, why think so much!"
It's best if I don't get involved in a fight between big shots.
I'll just stay here and be the Jade Emperor.
As long as the Dao Ancestor stands, I will stand!
Haotian knew clearly that
The current situation in the mortal realm has long been beyond the control of the Heavenly Court. It's best to avoid provoking trouble if possible.
To avoid making a fool of myself, I might end up losing even my current position.
However, what he didn't know was that even if he hadn't interfered, his position was still in jeopardy!
......
The Underworld, the Hall of Peaceful Mind.
When Tianqi returned with Sun Wukong, who had reaped a great harvest, the Pingxin Hall was already crowded with people, not only the Ancestral Witches, but also seven or eight figures with different auras.
Sun Wukong looked closely and was overjoyed.
Golden Spirit Mother, Wudang Mother, Wen Zhong, Spirit Tooth Fairy, Dark Cloud Fairy, Golden Light Fairy...
The core force of the Jie Sect in Heaven, who are also the personnel responsible for arranging the Journey to the West affairs in the mortal realm, are all here!
"Junior Brother is back?"
The Golden Spirit Mother was the first to stand up, a look of amazement flashing in her eyes.
"This aura... is the primordial chaos returning to oneness, the foundation of the Dao is perfected."
"Great! Excellent! As expected of our junior brother!"
The Holy Mother of Wudang also smiled as she sized up Wukong:
"Once Master finishes dealing with the human affairs, he'll be very pleased to see Wukong like this!"
Sun Wukong also smiled and quickly bowed:
"Wukong greets all his fellow disciples."
"No need for such formalities!"
Wen Zhong said with a wicked smile, "We have gathered here today to discuss the Journey to the West."
Your junior brother's return is just in time. You can take a look at the script first.
From now on, we need to decide who to deal with decisively and who to just go through the motions.
That way, I'll have some confidence when I perform!
Upon hearing this, Wukong smiled and nodded.
I also changed my gear, otherwise it would have been too eye-catching!
This made even the big shots look dim!
With everyone gathered, Tianqi didn't find it strange; in fact, it saved him the trouble of notifying them.
"The path of the Journey to the West has already been decided by the Buddhist sect."
The eighty-one tribulations will only end when you reach the sacred mountain.
As for the Heavenly Court, Haotian will definitely cooperate fully, so there's no need for us to go against them.
On the surface, those from the Jie Sect who held positions in Heaven were all following the script of Buddhism.
"And what about in the shadows?" Sun Wukong asked, puzzled.
"Secretly?"
Spirit Tooth Fairy grinned, revealing his fangs.
"Hahaha, the personnel arrangements along this route, nine times out of ten, are people from our Jie Sect!"
As he spoke, he took out a jade scroll, which unfolded to reveal a huge map of the Journey to the West.
The map is marked with eighty-one small red dots, each corresponding to one of the tribulations in the Journey to the West.
"Look here, Eagle's Sorrow Gorge."
Spirit Tooth Fairy pointed to the first red dot.
Originally, the Buddhist sect had arranged for the third prince of the West Sea Dragon King to be the one.
He was banished to the mortal realm and transformed into a white horse to serve as Jin Chanzi's mount.
But now that the Dragon King of the West Sea has pledged allegiance to humanity, as for this little white dragon...
"Hehe, actually it was Ao Lie, Wu Yunxian's disciple, in disguise."
Wu Yunxian nodded with a smile:
"That kid Ao Lie, his 'Cloud Dragon Transformation' technique is no worse than that little white dragon's.
He accompanied the pilgrimage, ostensibly as a mount, but in reality as a bodyguard.
They can also transmit messages at any time using dragon clan secret techniques.
"Look at this one, Gao Lao Zhuang."
Lingya Xian continued,
"Originally, it should have been Zhu Ganglie, also known as Marshal Tianpeng, who was demoted to the mortal world."
But Marshal Tianpeng is now the reincarnation of Jin Guangxian of our Jie Sect, so he is one of us.
He became a son-in-law in Gao Village, and was "forced" to join the pilgrimage team when the others passed by...
Jin Guangxian also replied with a smile:
"You can rest assured that I will handle things properly and will never allow Buddhism to benefit in the slightest!"
"In the Liusha River area, the original Sha Wujing was a general who was demoted from his position as the Curtain-Rolling General."
But now I'm the one in charge of rolling up the curtains.
Feathered Immortal raised his head and puffed out his chest, saying...
"I will guard the Liusha River and ensure the safety of this waterway."
By the way...clean up some unwanted 'accidents'.
Sun Wukong was stunned, his eyes gleaming with golden light.
This isn't some kind of pilgrimage team; it's practically an elite special task force from the Jie Sect!
Are they going to take the lives of those Westerners?!
"The pilgrimage team is arranged, but what about the demons who will bring disaster?"
Wukong continued to ask questions.
"Similarly, 99% of them are our people."
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit smiled and spoke.
"At Wuzhuang Temple, Zhenyuan Daxian is already a Daoist Saint."
We've already discussed it, and he'll send a clone to help!
White Bone Ridge, where Lady White Bone is a ghost immortal enlightened by Senior Sister Xuanming, who commands her at will.
In the Fire Cloud Cave, Red Boy is the reincarnation of Luo Xuan. Although Luo Xuan has entered the cycle of reincarnation, the Goddess Pingxin is accommodating, and it is perfectly fine for him to retain his memories of his past life.
In the Kingdom of Women, all the people are illusions, and the queen is a wisp of Yunxiao's spirit reincarnated...
Jinling pointed in the direction indicated by the pilgrimage route:
"Only a few places are the real test for the Buddhist disciples' placement."
For example, the Yellow-Eyebrowed Old Buddha at Xiaoleiyin Temple is an attendant of Maitreya Buddha.
The three demons of Lion Camel Ridge are the mounts of Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Avalokiteshvara.
Sun Wukong took a deep breath and found it somewhat amusing.
"So, most of this journey was just going through the motions?"
"Not entirely," Apocalypse shook his head.
"The performance was too exaggerated. The Buddhist community will stop playing with us. What a joke!"
So we should fight when necessary, but we must control the degree of conflict.
For example, if you fight with those senior disciples of the Jie Sect, you might fight a spectacular battle, but in the end you might only win by a narrow margin.
This way, the ordeal feels realistic, it won't harm your own people, and it'll even give you more combat experience!
"What about Jin Chanzi?"
Sun Wukong remembered the protagonist who was going to "spread the scriptures,"
"It seems he has completely lost his Buddha-nature in this lifetime?"
Everyone laughed when this was mentioned.
The Holy Mother of Wudang couldn't help but chuckle: "The tenth incarnation of Jin Chanzi will be personally arranged by the Human Emperor of the Human Race."
That guy is now in charge in the Imperial City, dealing with civil disputes and mediating neighborhood conflicts all day long.
The Buddhist sect sent someone to contact him, asking him to go to the Western Paradise to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures. Guess what he said?
"How so?"
He said, "The Western True Scripture? What is the Western True Scripture?"
Is "A Brief Outline of Water Conservancy Projects" useful? Is "A New Method of Farming" practical?
If it doesn't exist, what's the point of taking it? Just for decoration?!
Wu Dang imitated Jin Chanzi's impatient tone.
"They can't even manage to deal with the Buddhist messengers!"
Upon hearing this, a burst of laughter erupted inside the hall.
The main problem is that Wudang's imitation was just too hilarious!
Wen Zhong continued to add:
Later, the emperor simply took the opportunity to appoint him as the "envoy to spread scriptures to the west".
Let him take the classics of the Tang Dynasty to the West for exchanges.
Ostensibly a pilgrimage to the West, but in reality a mission to spread the Way—the Way of Humanity.
This can be considered as bringing hope to the West!
"Would Buddhism agree to this?" Sun Wukong wondered.
"They had no choice," Apocalypse said with a chuckle.
"Jin Chanzi has reincarnated ten times, and his Buddha-nature has been completely eradicated by your master."
If you send him to learn from the scriptures now, he will only act according to his own understanding.
But this was all pre-arranged, and the Buddhist community couldn't change the person if they wanted to.
Currently, only a small portion of the human race, misled and crippled by Buddhism, are usable.
But that would mean the success of Journey to the West wouldn't be able to continue.
Therefore, they must have been hoping to gradually awaken his Buddha-nature on the journey to the West.
