Chapter 197 Killing Chen Xuanzang
Chapter 197 Killing Chen Xuanzang
When the demon king Sun Wukong saw the majestic and heroic appearance of the Sun Wukong in the 86 TV series "Journey to the West" wearing the phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, chainmail golden armor, and lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes obtained from the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, he couldn't help but feel longing.
The demon king Sun Wukong looked down at himself, his heart filled with envy and jealousy.
Why is it that, though both were born from stones, he was born so ugly and short?
God is unfair!
Suddenly, Li Qing leaned close to him, bent down, and whispered in his ear, "Well? Who do you think is more worthy of being called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"
The demon king Sun Wukong glanced sideways at Li Qing.
Who is more deserving of the title "Great Sage Equal to Heaven"?
Of course, I, the Demon King Sun Wukong, am more worthy. He is the true Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!
He would never admit that he was inferior to other monkeys. How could someone as proud as him be willing to be overshadowed by other monkeys?
Ignoring Li Qing's mocking gaze, Sun Wukong, the Demon King, continued watching the 86 version of Journey to the West. Although he disliked Li Qing, this thing called a cell phone was indeed interesting, and the images playing inside deeply captivated him.
......
At the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, the demon king Sun Wukong sat on a small stool, with several cans of soda and a plate of melon seeds on a small wooden table in front of him.
Li Qing sat down on a chair and took a sip of a can of soda.
The demon king Sun Wukong grabbed the bottle of soda on the table and gulped it down, then lowered his head to continue watching the show.
When Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the demon king Sun Wukong became excited and crushed the bottle of soda in his hand.
"Good! This is how the Great Sage Equaling Heaven truly shines, showing some of my former glory. Why should I stoop to being a lowly stable boy? If I'm going to be anything, I should be the Jade Emperor, turning this Lingxiao Palace upside down!"
"Back when I wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, I wielded two watermelon knives and hacked my way from the South Heavenly Gate all the way to the East Road of Penglai. I hacked for three days and three nights, killing gods and Buddhas alike. Anyone who stood in my way was turned into a pile of minced meat. In this respect, this Sun Wukong is far inferior to me, lacking a bit of the ruthlessness and decisiveness to kill!" At this point, the Demon King Sun Wukong became even more smug and boasted wildly about his past bravery.
"You're just bragging. No matter how powerful you are, you're still trapped inside the Five Finger Mountain by the Buddha."
"Hmph! What do you know!"
......
Inside the phone, the Jade Emperor, looking utterly disheveled, lay sprawled under the table and shouted: "Quickly, go and invite the Buddha!"
Then comes the scene of Sun Wukong being unable to escape the Buddha's five fingers and being pressed under the Five Fingers Mountain.
Upon seeing this, the Demon King Sun Wukong's face became extremely ferocious, and his eyes burned with rage.
"Buddha! It's Buddha again. This Buddha really loves to meddle in other people's business. What does the Heavenly Court have to do with his Mount Ling? Why does he have the right to interfere?"
"This is what the bald monk in the Western Paradise is like. Don't worry, keep watching."
.......
A day later, the demon king Sun Wukong put down his phone, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
After watching the 86 TV series Journey to the West, the demon king Sun Wukong felt as if he saw his past and his future.
They saw their unruly past and their future of abandoning evil and embracing good.
"What do you want to say after watching this?" Li Qing looked at Sun Wukong curiously, wondering if the 86 version of Journey to the West had any impact on the demon king Sun Wukong.
The demon king Sun Wukong lowered his head and remained silent.
However, in the next instant, his right hand, which was tightly gripping the phone, suddenly tightened its grip!
With a crisp "crack," the phone was crushed into a lump of scrap metal. Then, as if discarding trash, Sun Wukong casually tossed the deformed phone onto the ground.
"Hey, what are you doing? This phone is perfectly fine, what did it do to offend you? Besides, this phone is mine, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to damage my property like this?" Li Qing said, feigning surprise.
"You human, do you really think you can reform me with these illusory tricks? Make me lay down my butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot? You underestimate me, the Demon King Sun Wukong. Even the Buddha Tathagata imprisoned me for five hundred years and failed to reform me. Do you think you can reform me in one day?"
"How ridiculous! It's already an act of mercy of me to let you live one more day. Now, are you ready to die?"
"Sun Wukong, do you know why the Buddha Tathagata, despite having the power to destroy you, only sealed you away?"
The demon king Sun Wukong was taken aback at first, then his expression changed drastically.
"Journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures?"
"That's right, it's the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Look at this."
Li Qing opened his palm, and two rag dolls appeared in his hand.
They were the puppets of the fish demon Sha Wujing and the pig demon Zhu Ganglie.
“These two puppets, one is the fish demon Sha Wujing and the other is the pig demon Zhu Ganglie…” Li Qing said.
"Does this combination seem familiar? What if we added Chen Xuanzang to it?"
"Your entire life has been controlled by the Buddha. You are nothing more than a pawn in his hands, at his mercy. You have escaped the seal of the Five Finger Mountain, but what awaits you now is the destiny of traveling to the Western Paradise to retrieve the scriptures. Even if you are unwilling, it is useless; the Buddha's power does not care whether you wish it or not..."
"..."
Sun Wukong lowered his head, but his heart was in turmoil. His furry face kept changing expressions, sometimes angry, sometimes unwilling, and sometimes helpless.
Back then, he was Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven of Flower Fruit Mountain. With his earth-shattering skills, he was invincible and even the Heavenly Court was helpless against him. How could such an unruly and lawless person be willing to obey the Buddha's order to go to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures?
He was used to being free and couldn't stand that kind of restraint and restriction.
But now, he has been trapped inside the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years... Thinking of this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but clench his fists, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
If it weren't for the old Buddha's scheme to frame him, how could he have ended up like this?
Now that they've finally escaped and gained their freedom, what's the point of going on a pilgrimage to the West?
No, absolutely not!
Damn Buddha, didn't you want to spread Buddhism?
I'll kill your pilgrims and see if you'll still promote Buddhism like this!
Thinking of this, the demon king Sun Wukong exuded demonic energy and his killing intent surged. He raised his head, looked at Li Qing, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is that Chen Xuanzang?"
"I'm going to kill him, grind his bones to dust, and condemn him to eternal damnation. I want to see how the journey to the West will proceed!"
"As for Chen Xuanzang, you probably don't need to go looking for him. He should come to Wuzhi Mountain to find you in the next couple of days... You just need to wait for him to come to Wuzhi Mountain."
