Chaos Spirit Field

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Zhao Shanhe with a serious expression and asked loudly, "Are you Xuanzang or Zhao Shanhe?"

Zhao Shanhe smiled faintly and replied calmly but firmly, "Avalokitesvara, you're obsessed. Whether it's Xuanzang or Zhao Shanhe, they're all me. Master has instructed me to act freely, and you only need to cooperate. The rise of Buddhism is ordained by Heaven, and not even the Emperor of Heaven can stop it. As the saying goes, those who follow Heaven will live, and those who go against it will perish. Just like this Five Elements Mountain, it will eventually vanish into thin air."

Guanyin Bodhisattva and Yuan Hong were shocked to find that the towering Five Elements Mountain had vanished in the blink of an eye! It was as if it had never existed. Zhao Shanhe casually threw a monk's robe and said to Yuan Hong, "Wukong, even though you are a monkey, you should have some sense of shame. Exposing your body is really indecent. Put on these clothes quickly."

Yuan Hong finally came to his senses, realizing he had escaped the Five Elements Mountain. He didn't pick up his robe from the ground. Instead, he glared at Zhao Shanhe fiercely and said through gritted teeth, "Monk, since you've helped me escape, I'll forgive your previous insult and bid you farewell."

Seeing Yuan Hong run away, Guanyin Bodhisattva was anxious and hurriedly activated the Tightening Curse, but was shocked to find that the Tightening Curse was ineffective! She looked at Zhao Shanhe in disbelief and asked anxiously, "Xuanzang, this monkey has escaped. Who will escort you to the West to obtain the scriptures?"

Zhao Shanhe smiled faintly, his face showing a certain calmness and composure. He slowly said, "Don't worry, Guanyin Bodhisattva. The monkey has been suppressed here for a thousand years. He is dirty and must be very uncomfortable. Let him go and wash up and relax. I believe he will be back soon. Why don't we take advantage of this leisure time to drink some fine wine together? Although Zhao Zilong has not grasped the true meaning of Wuliangye, this fruit wine is brewed with a unique flavor."

At that moment, Yuan Hong, thousands of miles away, suddenly and without warning, plummeted from the clouds. With a resounding thud, he rolled on the ground in agony, tears as large as beans streaming from his eyes, and a series of piercing howls emanated from his lips. The sound resounded through the sky, startling even the leisurely drinking Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Guanyin Bodhisattva's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly said to Zhao Shanhe, "Xuanzang, Yuan Hong is one of the people designated by the Buddhist sect to obtain the scriptures! Just teach him a lesson, but be sure not to kill anyone, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the Buddhist sect!"

Zhao Shanhe's eyes were as calm as water when he heard this, and he said softly, "This Yuan Hong is indeed not as powerful as Sun Wukong in Journey to the West. If he had flown farther, he wouldn't have disturbed the Bodhisattva's enjoyment of drinking. As the saying goes, jade cannot be made into a useful object without being polished, and monkeys cannot be obeyed without being trained. The one that Buddhism wants to seek the scriptures is Sun Wukong, not Yuan Hong. Since Guanyin Bodhisattva has spoken on his behalf, I will show some leniency and give him a chance to reform."

As he finished speaking, Yuan Hong, thousands of miles away, felt the excruciating pain in his body instantly dissipate, and he felt like he had been reborn. Knowing he couldn't escape the shackles of fate, he returned to Five Elements Mountain and knelt before Zhao Shanhe, saying, "Master, I know I was wrong."

Zhao Shanhe said coldly, "I feel that you are not convinced. Continue to reflect on yourself."

Before he could finish his words, the unbearable pain surged back, piercing every nerve in Yuan Hong's heart like a thousand arrows. He couldn't help but let out one heart-wrenching wail after another, like a painful cry from the depths of hell. At that moment, he finally realized that if he didn't beg for mercy from the person before him, he might actually die from this endless agony.

Yuan Hong gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and kowtowed relentlessly. His forehead repeatedly collided with the hard ground, making a dull thud. In the blink of an eye, a large crater had been dented in the ground. Blood flowed from his forehead, staining the surrounding ground red.

Zhao Shanhe watched this scene with no intention of stopping until Guanyin Bodhisattva, unable to bear it any longer, spoke up and persuaded him, causing the spell to temporarily cease. Then, he coldly looked at Yuan Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a glacial tone, "Now, are you convinced?"

"Master, Wukong surrenders!" Yuan Hong raised his blood-stained face, his eyes filled with fear and awe. When he looked up at Zhao Shanhe, he saw a hint of regret in his eyes. This sent a chill through his heart, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Zhao Shanhe had a half-smile on his lips, his eyes sharp as a knife as he stared straight at Yuan Hong. His voice was low and intimidating: "Yuan Hong, you guessed right. I really want you to suffer and die in pain. You are not the only capable monkey in the Three Realms. You are not the most suitable Sun Wukong, at least that's what I think."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong's eyes widened, and he asked in confusion, "Master, when have I ever offended you? Why do you hate me so much?"

"The Queen of Heaven and the Moon Goddess are both my women. Don't you have any idea of what you have done in the past? You'd better not make me angry in the future, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." There was a hint of chill in Zhao Shanhe's words, which made people shudder.

At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "Xuanzang, some things have passed. Don't dwell on them. Sun Wukong doesn't need to bear the consequences of Yuan Hong's sins."

Zhao Shanhe said, "What Guanyin Bodhisattva said is absolutely right. I am possessed by a demon. Wukong, go wash up and change into your monk's robes. I have been delayed long enough in the Five Elements Mountain. It is time to set off."

Yuan Hong quickly said, "Master, Wukong obeys your orders."

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "Xuanzang, if you treat Yuan Hong like this, aren't you afraid that he will turn against you one day?"

Zhao Shanhe smiled and said, "Bodhisattva Guanyin, my cooking skills are second to none in the world of immortal cultivation. Monkey is also a good ingredient. I would like to invite you to taste it if you have the chance."

"Xuanzang, I don't eat meat, so please take care of yourself. Goodbye."

Zhao Shanhe shouted towards the back of Guanyin Bodhisattva, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, please come often when you have time. I really enjoy being with you."

Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly stumbled and nearly fell from the clouds. She hadn't expected Zhao Shanhe to be so bold as to harbor such lustful thoughts. Then she felt relieved. If he hadn't been so audacious, he wouldn't have done so many earth-shattering things. She felt so smug in her heart. It was truly a sin.

"Amitabha, Amitabha..." Guanyin Bodhisattva kept chanting the Buddha's name. She felt her heart was in turmoil and she was even moved. Zhao Shanhe was really scary.
