The Monkey King

After that confrontation, the Three Realms, which were already like a powder keg and on the verge of exploding, suddenly became strangely quiet.

However, anyone could see that this was just the eve of the storm. The undercurrent is surging.

From that day on, the monkey became silent. He hardly said anything and did not urge Xuanzang, but his gloomy eyes seemed to remind everyone at all times what to do.

Lu Liuguai and others, who followed the monkey closely, started some secret work knowingly.

They summoned their elite subordinates and deployed a defensive circle with a radius of a hundred miles around the westbound team. Before Xuanzang could reach anywhere, they would show up in droves and search every nook and cranny. Almost all those whose spiritual power exceeded the average level and who were suspected to be immortal cultivators, whether they were humans or monsters, were either killed or isolated from a distance. Not to mention monsters, they were mountain gods appointed by heaven, and even Buddhist monks were completely eliminated.

Any object that comes near, even a fly, is thoroughly inspected.

But beside Xuanzang, everything was calm, as if nothing had happened.

Except for Xuanzang, everyone in the Three Realms must have felt the pain of a monkey grinding his teeth.

At this moment, this monkey is no longer as easy to talk to as before. Anyone who stands in front of him and hinders his westward journey will be completely crushed.

Not to mention Buddhism, even Heavenly Court and Taoism, which had always had a tacit understanding with the monkey, had to stay away from this monkey.

At the same time, the Six-eared Macaques of the Lion and Camel Kingdom, another faction of the Monster Clan, started preparations to move their capital to Huaguoshan in full swing.

This is simply an impossible task, at least, at the moment.

After more than 600 years of drought, Huaguoshan has just received rainfall. It will take at least a hundred years to restore its original vitality.

Monsters also need to eat. At least most monsters need to eat.

At the moment, this land that is almost barren of grass cannot support a monster country as large as the original Huaguo Mountain, or even a scaled-down version of the monster country like the Lion and Camel Country.

It is necessary to complete the revival of the demon clan in such a land. The only way is to transport food remotely through a huge fleet. But the Lion and Camel Kingdom did not have a decent fleet at all.

As a result, a shipbuilding plan with the largest scale in the three worlds was put forward.

The Lion and Camel Kingdom does not have a decent fleet, so does it have the resources to build such a huge fleet?

obviously. not at all. And in the short term, it is simply impossible to have it.

Following this shipbuilding plan is a resource acquisition plan. In this plan, Yang Chan suggested that the six-eared macaque launch a threat to all forces in the three realms, including Buddhism, and demand resources...

Have such a plan. The multi-eyed monster's face turned blue.

"My Lady, I'm sorry to say this, but this plan is not feasible." In order to prevent his hard work from being ruined, the multi-eyed monster mustered up the courage for the first time to stand in the court and challenge this challenge that he had never thought of. Opponent: "Not to mention the Buddhist sect that is stronger than our Lion and Camel Kingdom, even the Taoist sect that has suffered heavy losses. Even the Heavenly Court cannot accept such a strong demand if its power is not as strong as that of the past. Even the weak Dragon Palace and Underworld have all behind them. They have the support of their respective forces. It may not be a problem to order small things on weekdays, but this list..."

The words end here. The multi-eyed monster paused. He bowed slightly and stared blankly at Yang Chan, who was sitting next to the six-eared macaque.

Everyone was watching Yang Chan consciously or unconsciously, even the six-eared macaque.

However, Yang Chan just smiled lightly and said, "Let's take a gamble."

"bet?"

"Yes, let's take a gamble." Yang Chan slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Don't talk about Dragon Palace and Underworld, don't talk about Taoism and Heaven, just talk about Buddhism. If this proposal is accepted, they will gladly accept it. Then from now on, I will ask Master Duomu to shut up. If they don’t accept it, I will shut up from now on. How about that?”

Put this sentence down. The multi-eyed monster was completely confused. He stared at Yang Chan in astonishment with his mouth wide open, unable to speak for a long time.

This means issuing a military order as soon as you enter the field...

After a while, he looked at the six-eared macaque in a panic, as if hoping that the six-eared macaque would help ease the tense atmosphere. However, the six-eared macaque slowly clapped his hands and said: "This bet. I, the great sage, have responded to it on behalf of Duomu Cheng. If you come, I will take care of you with pen and ink. I will personally write a letter to Tathagata!"

After that, he burst into laughter.

Beside him, Yang Chan looked at the multi-eyed monster under the steps and smiled lightly.

This time the multi-eyed monster was completely dumbfounded.

There were thousands of thoughts running through his mind, but unfortunately, he couldn't come up with an idea, let alone understand what Yang Chan meant by this move.

Could it be that...Buddhism would really agree?

…

Half a day later, the letter was delivered to the main hall of the Great Leiyin Temple.

As the monk who delivered the message recited, the entire palace was in an uproar.

"This six-eared macaque is too arrogant, isn't it?"

"Let's not mention that he was able to survive because of the kindness of the Venerable Ksitigarbha. Let's talk about the battle at Huaguoshan more than 600 years ago... Could it be that the battle more than 600 years ago... The one who wins is his demon clan?"

"Hmph, you can't even tell the difference between each other's strengths and weaknesses. Even Huaguo Mountain in its heyday was not as arrogant as him!"

"Probably he was dazzled by the victory. The real Monkey King still has some sense. This six-eared macaque is just a wild monkey, **********, he really treats himself as a person Got it!"

In the crowd, an Arhat whispered: "I heard that this letter was written by Yang Chan, a six-eared macaque."

"Yang Chan?"

Hearing this, all the Buddhas and Arhats present were immediately stunned.

"Could it be that this is Yang Chan's plan to divert trouble to the west?"

"But, is it possible that we would rashly start a war against the Lion and Camel Country because of such a letter? Isn't this looking down on my Buddhist sect too much?"

All the Buddhas looked at each other.

For a long time, Tathagata, who had been sitting on the lotus platform and remained silent from beginning to end, slowly smiled.

He opened his eyes and sighed softly: "Tell the goblin who sent the letter that what they want will be delivered to the Lion and Camel Kingdom in the near future."

"Disciple, obey!"

The disciple kowtowed deeply, stood up and exited the door step by step.

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Almost everyone present had doubts in their eyes.

After a while, Tathagata sighed and said: "This Yang Chan is not good at cultivation, but she has the vision of a superior. After all, she is the Demon Queen who has been in charge of Huaguo Mountain for more than a hundred years."

Hearing this, those Arhats all looked at Tathagata in astonishment.

…

When the news reached the Lion and Camel Kingdom, not only the multi-eyed monsters, but also the monsters present, including the six-eared macaque, could hardly believe their ears.

In the entire court, the only one who remained calm and took everything for granted was probably Yang Chan.

The six-eared macaque ran down from the throne in great joy, took the Buddhist reply letter and read it up and down, left and right, smiling from ear to ear.

"Even Buddhism has surrendered. Who else has a problem? Why don't you quickly prepare a collection of pen and ink and send letters to the Heavenly Court, the Dao Sect, the Dragon Kings of the four seas, the southeast, the northwest, and the underworld, asking them to pay tribute?"

"Great Sage, this is absolutely impossible. If this happens..."

Before the multi-eyed monster could finish speaking, Yang Chan snorted coldly from the top of the steps.

Suddenly, all eyes were focused on Yang Chan.

Yang Chan lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers leisurely, sighing: "Master Duomu is so forgetful. Did you forget about the bet just now?"

"This..." The multi-eyed monster was speechless for a moment and could only look at the six-eared macaque.

However, all he saw was a disdainful face.

Looking at the multi-eyed monster coldly, the six-eared macaque hummed meaningfully: "Just now, you almost ruined this great sage's important event. From now on, please don't speak out about this matter, do you understand?"

This passage was spoken lightly, but it was said in public. All the dignitaries of the Lion and Camel Kingdom, including the Nine-Headed Insect, the Lion and Camel King, and the Peng Demon King, were all listening.

The prime minister with multiple eyes, who was originally the most favored, lost his power in front of everyone.

Soon, letters full of threats were sent from the Lion and Camel Kingdom to almost all the forces in the Three Realms. Most of these letters were eventually sent to Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Cult Master.

…

"What does this mean?" Pointing to the letters spread out in front of him, the Tongtian leader said incredulously: "The Tathagata actually gave in?"

"This is not about giving in." Shaking his head slowly, Yuanshi Tianzun said with a smile: "The four elements of Buddhism are empty. These things are originally external things. Even if you give them to him, what's the problem? Besides, these are just materials for building ships, so There are 110,000 warships, so what? In front of Heaven, there is nothing more than a pile of scrap metal."

Hearing this, the Tongtian Cult Leader was suddenly confused.

For a long time, he has used Taoist thinking to think about problems, and rarely considered Buddhist thinking.

After a while, he sighed helplessly and said with a smile: "This is indeed a wonderful chess piece... Buddhism has finally laid out the six-eared macaque as a chess piece. The westward journey is uncertain, so it will not be easy to offend. Naturally, that's it. They will offer the things with both hands. In this way, if the Buddhists don't want to come forward, it will be even more difficult for us to do so. We have no choice but to follow the Buddhists and deliver the things. Hahahaha, this six-eared macaque is actually very smart."

"No, it's not the six-eared macaque that's smart."

"oh?"

"The smart one is Yang Chan." After a slight pause, Yuanshi Tianzun sighed: "The situation is still uncertain, so let the six-eared macaque offend the three realms... Let the three realms feel the evil of the six-eared macaque, that is, faintly, Pushing all the three realms to Sun Monkey's side. Such a big fight, but in the end, she only gets back a pile of scrap metal... Hehehe, it seems that she is determined to kill the six-eared macaque." (~^ ~)
