All kidding aside, Rocks really asked me to be the captain!

Chapter 417 The Purpose of the Journey West

On the other side, the sky was getting light.

The two guards personally selected by the King of Tang who accompanied his younger brother all the way from Chang'an to the Western Paradise had packed their luggage and were waiting outside the Jinguang Temple, ready to welcome the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty to set off together.

However, the two waited and waited but the holy monk never showed up.

In the past, this enlightened monk would almost always get up at the hour of Yin to chant scriptures and recite the Buddha's name.

Today is strange. It’s already noon and I haven’t gotten up yet.

"The journey to the West to obtain the scriptures is very long, and there are countless demons and monsters. The holy monk is just a mortal. Could it be that he is afraid?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense! He's the highly accomplished monk who presided over the Water and Land Dharma Assembly! That's the supreme Dharma of the Mahayana Buddhism! How could he be afraid of these mere demons and monsters?"

"Then tell me why you haven't come out yet?"

"I don't know anything about this. If it weren't for a living, who would be willing to go through this hardship? The West is far away, and we are just ordinary people. We have some martial arts skills, but they are not worth mentioning. I am afraid that we will become nothing more than dry bones on the way~"

"It's okay. As long as we leave the gates of Chang'an City, His Majesty the Emperor will take care of us at home. We will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives. Even if we die on the road, it will be a blessing to our family~"

"Hey, that's just how it is. This world is too harsh on mortals. It's just blood food for monsters~"

The two of them looked at each other and boasted for a long time, but the holy monk never showed up, so they just lay down and started snoring.

On the other side, Luohou, who had changed into a brocade cassock and picked up a nine-ring staff, replaced Tang Sanzang's identity and headed westward.

However, it was just a thousand feet above Luohu.

Holding a crystal clear jade bottle in one hand, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, with neither a smile nor sorrow on his face, stared solemnly at Rāhu on the road.

"Is this the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada that Tathagata Buddha spoke of? Why is his appearance so strange in this life? It didn't look like this before."

Guanyin counted on her fingers with some confusion.

Somehow he figured out that the man in front of him had the aura of a six-winged golden cicada.

Although I always feel like something is not right.

But she no longer had time to think about it.

The two saints had urged us when they came.

It is better to start the journey to obtain the scriptures as early as possible rather than late.

Everyone can achieve this merit.

First come first serve.

Even if it is a mortal body, it can be of help in the journey to the West.

You can also gain merit from heaven, live a happy and auspicious life in this life, and be born into a good family in the next life.

And she.

He has been in the early stage of Quasi-Saint realm for countless thousands of years.

There is still no progress.

This merit power is indeed needed to break through to the middle or even late stage of Quasi-Saint realm!

"No matter what, since it's the six-winged golden cicada, then it's right. I should have the first share of the merits of this journey to the West!"

Guanyin lowered her head and revealed a phantom image.

Luohou sensed the figure in the sky appropriately.

It doesn't matter if you look at it.

Although I recognized that the person in front of me was indeed Guanyin Bodhisattva.

But that image and the red mole between his eyebrows reminded Luohou of Elder Zixin who was still guarding the sect on Earth!

"Could it be that the person Zi Xin was talking about was the Guanyin Bodhisattva in front of us?"

Luohou pondered secretly but remained calm on the surface as he saluted the woman in front of him who was covered in the light of Dharma.

"I have met the Bodhisattva Guanyin."

Guanyin smiled while holding a willow branch.

"You are the perfect choice to go to the West to obtain the scriptures. The journey is long and arduous, full of dangers and obstacles. In the mountains between the two realms, there is a stone monkey that was born and raised by nature and absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon. He can help you go to the West to worship Buddha and obtain the scriptures~"

"This magic weapon can help you subdue them and use it for your own benefit. The secret to activating the magic weapon lies in the Heart Sutra of Avalokitesvara's Prajnaparamita."

Guanyin has a smile on her face and her palms are open, holding three magic hoops of gold, silver and copper.

"Thank you, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva"

Luohou took the golden hoop and looked up at Guanyin.

But he found that the other person's figure had slowly disappeared.

However, a huge golden light of merit descended from the sky and headed towards the west.

"Are you in such a hurry?" Luohou muttered speechlessly as he looked at the figure that quickly disappeared in the sky.

It seems so.

When I first watched Journey to the West, I was only focused on the monkey.

These gods really seem to be very busy all the time.

If it weren't for the monkey calling, it would basically never happen.

He came here and quickly took his mount back and disappeared without a trace.

No one cares about what happened to the people who went on the journey to the West.

As long as you don't die.

Anyway, he is probably just a tool to earn merits.

It’s just like the Green Bull Demon who captured Tang Sanzang.

Originally, people thought he would come down to play for two days before leaving.

The results of it?

It has actually become a good tool for gaining Heavenly Merit!

It was a cow that didn't eat meat, but it kept watching Tang Sanzang for a long time.

And Monkey King is looking for someone to rescue him everywhere!

Isn't that where it starts?

There are only a few people who raise cattle in the entire heaven.

How could Monkey, the Horse-Wardener, not know this?

Still running around looking for someone?

It's clearly a good deed!
