Chaos Spirit Field

Zhao Shanhe groaned inwardly when he saw Nuwa approach, knowing trouble was coming. He clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully, saying, "Amitabha, this humble monk pays homage to Nuwa."

Nuwa, filled with shame and anger, glared at Zhao Shanhe and said, "How dare you, a playboy monk, blaspheme me? You are so audacious!"

Zhao Shanhe looked at Nuwa with an innocent look on his face and said aggrievedly, "Nuwa, how can you say that? I have no karma with you."

"Hmph, you frivolous monk, you still dare to quibble! Have you forgotten all the good things you did in your dream? Do you want me to massage your legs so you can recall them?

Zhao Shanhe pretended to be enlightened and patted his bald head. He quickly apologized, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This poor monk's desire was magnified by the nightmare. It was truly unintentional. The culprit has been executed on the spot. The mastermind behind this is Tathagata Buddha of the Great Leiyin Temple in the Western Heaven. This poor monk is also a victim."

Nuwa sneered and said, "Xuanzang, you pushed it cleanly."

Zhao Shanhe said helplessly, "My Lady, what I have said is the truth. Monks do not lie. Amitabha."

Nuwa said calmly, "Xuanzang, as long as you agree to one of my requests, this matter will be over."

Zhao Shanhe said, "Nuwa, a beautiful lady is a dream for a gentleman. How can you take a dream seriously? I have done nothing wrong. Please forgive me for not agreeing to your request."

"I haven't said anything yet, and you don't agree."

"Nuwa, you are a saint, and what you said is definitely difficult for me. If it is not necessary, it is better not to say it to avoid embarrassment."

"Xuanzang, for the sake of the people of this world, I want you to give up the journey to the West."

"Nuwa, the Journey to the West is ordained by Heaven, and it is this poor monk's only chance to turn things around. Is this a request or a request?"

"What's the difference?"

"That's a huge difference. If it's a request, I'm sorry I can't agree to it."

"What I'm talking about is a request."

Zhao Shanhe clasped his hands together and said to Nuwa, "Since it is your request, I can only agree. You'd better think it over carefully before answering."

Nuwa pondered for a moment and said, "Xuanzang, I ask you to withdraw from the journey to the West."

Zhao Shanhe replied, "From now on, there will be no Xuanzang in the world, only Zhao Shanhe. Yuan Hong, Tianpeng, Juanlian, you are free now. No longer need to play the roles of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng. Long Shisi, you no longer need to be a horse. From now on, I will follow you to the underworld. Goddess Nuwa, you will take over the karma of the Western religion and the punishment of heaven."

Nuwa said dissatisfiedly: "Zhao Shanhe, you are scaring me."

Zhao Shanhe didn't argue, casting a spell to open the Yellow Springs Road and preparing to leave. However, at this moment, a majestic voice suddenly rang out from the sky: "Nuwa has acted recklessly. I will deprive the demon race of their luck for a thousand years as a warning to others!"

Upon hearing this voice, Nuwa was completely stunned. She stood there blankly, her face filled with disbelief. She quickly called out to Zhao Shanhe, who had just stepped into the underworld. She said, "Xuanzang, you can't leave."

Zhao Shanhe replied helplessly, "Nuwa, tell me everything you want to say all at once. I still need to escape."

"I will not stop you from traveling west."

"Nuwa, the sage's words are undeniable. Heaven has deprived the demon race of their luck, but it hasn't affected you. I'm going to be a gigolo. If you have any problems in the future, come to the underworld to find me."

"Xuanzang, you can't leave. You must give me an explanation."

Zhao Shanhe smiled bitterly and said, "Nuwa, your words are very ambiguous, as if I had abandoned you after having an affair with you. My wife is watching you down there."

Nuwa ignored Zhao Shanhe's teasing. She murmured to herself, "Xuanzang, what did I do wrong? The Taoist Patriarch wants to punish the demon race."

Zhao Shanhe sighed and said, "Nuwa, the prosperity of Buddhism is determined by the laws of nature. You insist on going against the will of heaven. It's not surprising that you are being punished."

Nuwa looked confused. She asked in a low voice, "Xuanzang, what should I do?"

"Of course, you should go back to where you came from. If you have nothing to do, you can get together with a few close friends for a drink and a chat. It's best not to go out. You may consider my suggestion."

Nuwa frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "What's the proposal?"

"Establish a religion. If I fail, I'll have a way out. Sometimes being too free means being separated from the team, and you'll always be the target of calculations. Amitabha, I've said too much."

Nuwa seemed to understand something and left without saying a word. Zhao Shanhe used the Tightening Curse to recall Yuan Hong, Tianpeng, and Juanlian. He said, "The Tightening Curse hasn't been removed yet, so where are you going? Keep playing the roles of Wukong, Bajie, and Sha Seng. Little Fourteen, quickly clean up the ground. You really don't know the value of firewood and rice until you manage the household. If you finish eating that meat paste on the ground, you'll probably be able to cultivate to the realm of True Immortal."

Long Shisi looked at the leftovers and felt a little nauseous. He said, "Master, can we not eat?"

Zhao Shanhe teased, "This master is doing this for your own good. You can do whatever you want. Our future opponents will become stronger and stronger. If you die, the little sweethearts in the West Sea Dragon Palace will probably remarry. Wukong, you are the eldest brother, but you don't have a wife yet, right? Those who are capable should do more work."

Long Shisi hurriedly said, "Master, can't I eat it?"

"Little Fourteen, you're talking as if I'm trying to trick you. This pile of True Immortal-level flesh on the ground could be exchanged for several Gaojing cities. We've wasted quite a bit of time here, so it's time to get going. Even if we can't reach the Great Leiyin Temple in the end, I will find a way out for you, so that our relationship as master and disciple will be worthwhile."

When Zhu Bajie heard this, he suddenly asked, "Master, can you allow Cuilan to be reincarnated?"

Seeing this, Long Shisi quickly interrupted, "Fat pig, the underworld belongs to the mistress, you are asking unnecessary questions."

Zhao Shanhe shook his head and said softly, "Bajie, now is not a good time for Gao Cuilan to reincarnate. You should earn more merits and let her be reborn into a good family. That's the right way."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie quickly nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master."

Zhao Shanhe continued, "Sha Monk, when the time comes, I can recommend you to Zhao Zilong as a disciple of the Chan Sect. As for Wukong, you can become a disciple of Nuwa."

When Sha Seng heard this, he quickly shook his head and refused, saying, "Master, I want to follow you forever."

Zhao Shanhe smiled slightly and comforted: "If your master wins this game, you can all become Buddhas, but judging from the current situation, it is highly likely that you will not win. Everything depends on human efforts, so there is still a chance."

Long Shisi said, "Master, you will definitely succeed. What should I call Buddha? It must be loud enough."

Zhao Shanhe knocked Long Shisi on the head and said, "Big Buddha, hurry up and clean up the floor. We should get going."
