After the perfect opening, I joined the chat group

Chapters 368 and 377: The Golden Cudgel, Somersault Cloud, Fiery Eyes—If I'm not a real monkey, then who is?
The Peacock King exuded an extremely fierce aura and was about to kill someone.

At this moment, Tang Sanzang stepped forward and shouted loudly, "You are the Peacock King, a Buddhist Bodhisattva. You should know about the creation of heaven and earth and the cycle of destiny. That Golden-Winged Roc is of wicked nature and deserves this calamity!"

"It was this humble monk who instructed Wukong and Bajie to subdue the demon. If you have any complaints, you are welcome to question this humble monk!"

This Tang Monk was truly tough.

Upon hearing this, the Peacock King became even angrier: "Golden Cicada, do you really think that just because you have a destiny bestowed upon you, I won't dare to kill you?"

"If I had done something wrong, even if the Bodhisattva asked me to commit suicide to atone for my sins, I would have no objection... But I have a clear conscience about this matter, and this Golden-Winged Roc should be killed!" Tang Sanzang replied calmly.

The terrifying pressure of the Peacock King pressed down on him.

Any other ordinary person would have been crushed to death long ago.

However, Tang Sanzang stood straight.

"Hmph, even if the Golden-Winged Roc deserves to die, you can destroy his physical body and spare his life so that his soul can reincarnate!"

Why go so far as to beat him to a pulp?

The Peacock King spoke with a sorrowful tone, saying that although the Golden-Winged Roc was somewhat disappointing, the two were still brothers.

They have feelings.

The Golden-Winged Roc endures some losses and hardships.

The Peacock King didn't mind.

After all, the Golden-Winged Roc is usually too arrogant, so it's good for it to suffer a beating from society.

but.

Shi Jian, Shi Hao went too far! He beat the Golden-Winged Roc to a pulp and then roasted his body!
This is an absolute, irreconcilable hatred.

Upon hearing what the Peacock King said, Tang Sanzang knew that the matter could not be resolved amicably.

However, being just an ordinary person, he didn't know what to do at this moment.

If he were really allowed to carry the Peacock King.

He couldn't bear it either.

Seeing this, Shi Jian and Shi Hao also stepped forward.

Shi Jian stood upright with his staff and spoke without any hesitation:

"Our journey to the West to obtain the scriptures is in accordance with the will of Heaven. The Golden-Winged Roc defies Heaven, which is a great sin. It destroys a nation, which is a second great sin. With such two sins, what difference would killing him make? As for why we beat him to a pulp..."

"This place is filled with wronged souls and corpses. Why don't you ask the Golden-Winged Roc why he doesn't give these mortals a chance to be reincarnated?"

Shi Hao then stretched his limbs and said, "You, Peacock King, didn't discipline the Golden-Winged Roc properly. You only stepped in after he caused trouble... It's too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. This is the fruit of your own making!"

"If you know what's good for you, get out of here and don't disturb my master and disciples' journey to the West... Otherwise! I'll kill you too, and make you and your brother fugitives!"

"However, with the two of you dead, the Phoenix Clan will be without an heir!"

Shi Hao's words were truly astonishing.

Tang Sanzang and Sha Wujing were dumbfounded.

Pigsy is fucking brave.

The Peacock King was so enraged that he sneered, "I'd like to see how you plan to kill me!"

Without further hesitation, he immediately unleashed his supernatural powers.

This Peacock King is exceptionally powerful and practices Buddhism, specifically Mahayana Buddhism. When he fights, his aura is terrifying.

Five-colored light shimmered, and a large plume of misty smoke shot out, as if destroying everything in its path...

The Peacock King immediately unleashed his most powerful technique: the Five-Colored Divine Light.

The five-colored divine light symbolizes the five elements, representing the primordial energy of heaven and earth, corresponding to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Anything caught in the five-colored divine light will lose its power.

The Five-Colored Divine Light can brush away anything!

Shi Jian and Shi Hao were not afraid of this situation.

They also joined in.

The Peacock King is considered a top-tier figure in the Journey to the West world.

But compared to others.

The people in the group weren't particularly afraid of him.

This is because, apart from his powerful cultivation, the Peacock King's greatest strength lies in his Five-Colored Divine Light.

That is, the art of the Five Elements.

The art of the Five Elements.

Everyone in the group has mastered the Great Five Elements Technique!
The Great Five Elements Technique is close to the Dao!
In terms of the power of supernatural abilities, the Great Five Elements Technique surpasses even the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Shi Jian and Shi Hao simultaneously unleashed the Great Five Elements Technique.

The Azure Emperor's Wooden Emperor Scripture!
Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist!
The White Emperor and the Golden Emperor were killed!
The Red Emperor's Fire Emperor Qi!
The Way of the Yellow Emperor and the Earth Sovereign!
Five unparalleled techniques of the Five Elements were unleashed simultaneously, filling the entire world with the principles of the Five Elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

In an instant, murderous intent surged across the sky, causing even the heavens and earth to lose their color.

"Strike from the highest heavens!"

The two sides exchanged blows, and it became clear that the mortal world could not withstand their power.

They launched their attack towards the outer heavens in perfect unison.

This encounter between the two sides.

This immediately alarmed the Three Realms and Six Paths.

Countless eyes were cast toward this place.

"Is this the Peacock King? Who has provoked this ferocious god?"

Upon seeing the boundless Five Elements Qi permeating the outer heavens, the people of the Three Realms and Six Paths were taken aback.

This Peacock King is a ruthless person.

He even swallowed Buddha whole.

These kinds of people don't usually move around in the Three Realms, but they are infamous for their ferocity.

No one dared to provoke them.

now.

He can let it go if someone provokes him.

They even forced him to use the Five-Colored Divine Light?

Did he fall out with Buddha?
Countless people were shocked.

After they saw the person fighting with the Peacock King.

They were even more confused.

Sun Wukong?
Zhu Bajie?
These two joined forces and fought the Peacock King to a standstill.
Is this right?
Upon closer inspection, it became even more astonishing.

These two actually used their supernatural powers related to the Five Elements to overpower the Peacock King?

Even the five-colored divine light of the Peacock King could be suppressed one day.
Where did this monkey and Pigsy learn the Five Elements supernatural powers?
Aren't these two people skilled in the 72 Earthly Fiends and the 36 Heavenly Generals respectively?
How come he's also skilled in the Five Elements supernatural powers?

Countless gods and Buddhas in the Three Realms and Six Paths were completely dumbfounded!
Even the Peacock King himself was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

What kind of supernatural power is his five-colored divine light?
Brush anything, and you'll be unstoppable!

But now, facing these two's powerful Five Elements Technique...

Just like a mouse seeing a cat, it is restrained in every way.

This made the Peacock King very uncomfortable.

I feel like I can't use any of my supernatural abilities.

After several rounds of fierce battle in the outer heavens, the Peacock King stopped using the Five-Colored Divine Light and began to use other supernatural powers.

With a single thought in his mind, he could create the entire universe, and countless golden lights filled the air as he used Buddhist supernatural powers.

The Peacock King spent a long time in Buddhism and learned most of its methods.

Countless rays of Buddhist light shone from his body, illuminating the entire universe and shining with divine light.

Ten thousand golden lamps rose into the void.

He does indeed resemble a Buddhist bodhisattva somewhat...

Boundless golden light shone upon Shi Jian and Shi Hao, attempting to convert them.

Upon seeing this, the two brothers sneered.

"We also know Buddhist methods!"

The two withdrew the Great Five Elements Technique and began to cast the Great Salvation Technique.

This is also an unparalleled Buddhist supernatural power.

It is one of the three thousand Great Daos.

Boundless Buddha light appeared behind the two, and an image of Buddha appeared behind them.

The two sides' Buddhist lights clashed against each other...

A relic appeared above the head of the Peacock King, who opened his mouth and spat out a five-colored lotus flower, which swept towards Shi Jian and Shi Hao.

Shi Jian shook the golden cudgel in his hand, and auspicious clouds surrounded him, with a scene of heaven and earth, and the two polarities and four symbols appearing around him.

A giant Bagua diagram appeared.

"Peacock King, we have already witnessed your five-colored divine light... Now, let me show you the yin and yang energies of your good brother..."

The yin and yang energies then headed towards the Peacock King.

These Yin and Yang energies share the same origin as the Five-Colored Divine Light of the Peacock King, yet they cannot manifest their divine power in the hands of the Golden-Winged Roc.

However, in Shi Jian's hands...

That was truly awe-inspiring.

The Peacock King activated his Five-Colored Divine Light, and with a surge of the Five Elements Divine Light, Shi Jian's Yin and Yang energies dispersed.

But the next moment.

The yin and yang energies reunited to form the Eight Trigrams, and then transformed the five-colored divine light back into yin and yang energies...

The Yin and Yang energies and the five-colored divine light interacted back and forth.

They share the same roots and origins, yet they also have a mutual influence and restraint!
They belong to the same order of magnitude.

A surge of precious light appeared, and a lotus flower bloomed...

The two seemed to be locked in a stalemate.

Upon seeing this, Shi Hao did not hesitate at all, and raised his nine-toothed rake to strike the Peacock King on the head.

Even when the Peacock King saw that the other man was about to kill him, he dared not be negligent.

With a flick of his wrist, a three-treasure jade ruyi appeared in his hand.

The jade ruyi held the nine-toothed rake in place.

But the next moment.

Suddenly, another sword appeared in Shi Hao's hand.

It was the Great Luo Sword Embryo!
A surge of chaotic energy slashed towards the Peacock King.

The Peacock King was unable to dodge in time and was pierced by the Great Luo Sword Embryo, destroying most of his body.

"What kind of sword is this? How could it break my golden body so easily?"

The Peacock King was greatly alarmed.

"Kill your sword!" Shi Hao sneered, his killing intent palpable.

"I told you long ago, if you remain obstinate today, I'll send you to meet your brother!"

"I've had roasted golden-winged roc before, but I've never had roasted peacock before!"

The Peacock King was furious upon hearing this, but he also sensed that something was amiss.

This is Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie.

This is not normal!!!
They're ridiculously strong.

"You two are definitely not Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie. What are your true identities?"

While recovering from his injuries, the Peacock King questioned the situation.

Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in concentration, Shi Jian raised his Ruyi Jingu Bang and struck him on the head.

It hit the face right in one go.

"I'm not Sun Wukong, so let me ask you, isn't this the Golden Cudgel in my hand?"

"If I have the Golden Cudgel, and I'm not Sun Wukong, then who am I!"

The Peacock King was stunned by the blow.

He was furious.

However, he was not blinded by anger at this moment.

The current situation is not good for him.

He was already thinking about escaping!
……

The three's battle in the outer heavens naturally alarmed countless people.

Countless gods and demons in the Three Realms and Six Paths sensed it.

The real monkey, the real Pigsy, who was having fun on Flower Fruit Mountain, naturally sensed something as well.

"Someone caused such a commotion?"

The monkey asked curiously, then used his Fiery Eyes of Truth, staring straight into the heavens beyond…

The next moment.

He was bewildered.

"Monkey King, Monkey King... what did you see?"

Bajie asked curiously from the side.

The monkey spoke somewhat uncertainly: "I see that the two of us are overwhelming the Peacock King!"

……

However, once the Peacock King had the idea of ​​escaping, he quickly put it into action.

Suddenly, endless golden light burst forth from his body, transforming into a golden bridge that stretched from the outside in, instantly becoming a golden avenue.

The Peacock King revealed his true form and flew away into the distance.

Five-colored divine light emanated from his body, sweeping towards Shi Jian and Shi Hao.

This Peacock King was ultimately highly skilled in cultivation, and being a bird who had attained enlightenment, his speed was naturally terrifying.

In the blink of an eye.

Then it escaped to a distance of immeasurable distance.

Seeing this, Shi Jian and Shi Hao did not continue the pursuit...

because.

The direction in which the Peacock King fled.

That's Fang Han's direction.

He ran off to the Peacock Dynasty...

Fang Han was also waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump!
The Peacock King still has a chance of survival if he faces the two brothers.

But the upper part is cold.

That would be terrible.

The world mechanism created by the Sage of Taiqing is greater than the numerical value.

Fang Han was undoubtedly the one.

The most powerful monster with the strongest mechanics!
If you want supernatural powers, you can have them.

We have magical treasures...

……

After driving away the Peacock King, Shi Jian and Shi Hao went to find Tang Sanzang.

"Master, the Peacock King has escaped!"

The two men addressed Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang was still somewhat bewildered.

After gathering his thoughts, he was just about to speak...

Unexpectedly, another sound came from afar.

"Master, master..."

Another monkey, Pigsy, has appeared here.

Tang Sanzang was dumbfounded: "How come there are two Wukongs and two Bajies!"

“Master, these two are imposters. We two are the real Wukong and Bajie…”

The real Wukong and the real Bajie spoke.

The two Shi brothers exchanged a glance and grinned mischievously: "Master, don't listen to them. We are the real Sun Wukong and the real Pigsy!"

The two sides immediately started arguing and bickering.

They just couldn't reach a conclusion.

The argument got heated.

The two sides even clashed and fought fiercely. It took Tang Sanzang and Sha Wujing a great deal of effort to separate them.

The real Wukong roared in anger, "I am the real Wukong! I, Old Sun, am proficient in the Seventy-Two Transformations, the Somersault Cloud, and this Ruyi Jingu Bang that I borrowed from the Dragon Palace. It can grow big or small as I wish!"

"Can you perform seventy-two transformations? Do you have the Golden Cudgel?"

While talking.

He enlarged the golden cudgel infinitely while performing various transformation techniques.

Seeing this, Shi Jian picked at his ear and said, "Who doesn't know the Seventy-Two Transformations? Who doesn't know the Somersault Cloud? Who doesn't have the Ruyi Jingu Bang?"

He also enlarged the golden cudgel and then used it to perform seventy-two transformations.

His golden cudgel is naturally genuine.

The original artifact is a copy made by Tiandao Library.

The same goes for cultivation techniques.

When the monkey was knocked unconscious by Yang Qi...

Shi Jian "copied" the monkey's entire body.

He is not a monkey.

But everything he had was genuine monkey stuff.

This is where Shi Jian's greatest strength lies.

Someone asked.

Prison stone, prison stone...

Everyone in the group is a prodigy, a protagonist in their own world.

It's normal to be strong.

But what makes you so strong?

Then let me ask you, isn't knowing how to use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V enough?
Copying and pasting is now the only way to succeed.

Although he doesn't have any special skills.

However, it can copy any skill it has ever seen.

Although he doesn't have much talent.

But it can replicate any talent it has ever seen...

Am I not strong enough?
Look at my eyes!!!

Tang Sanzang was so confused by the noise from the two monkeys and two pigs that his mind went blank...

"I am too ignorant to tell if you are real or fake... Why don't you go and have someone else verify it?"

He spoke carefully.

Upon hearing this, the real monkey and the real Pigsy's eyes lit up.

“Find someone else…find Guanyin Bodhisattva. She was the one who sent us on our journey to the West to retrieve the scriptures. She will definitely recognize us…”

“Let’s find them, who’s afraid of who…” Shi Jian and Shi Hao echoed.

A group of people, without stopping and arguing all the way, headed towards the sacred site of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"I really am..."

"I am the real one!"

Guanyin was completely bewildered after hearing the sound...

The real and the fake Sun Wukong.

The real and the fake Pigsy.

Let alone whether she has any way of telling the difference.

She's the one who can tell.

She didn't dare to tell the difference.

no doubt.

The ones who previously suppressed the Peacock King were the fake Sun Wukong and the fake Zhu Bajie.

Then the problem is coming.

If I could recognize which one was fake...

So who will be the next person to be beaten?
So hard to guess...

Guanyin looked her over from the left and then from the right, before asking a few symbolic questions...

Both sides answered correctly.

She feigned difficulty, saying, "The transformations of these fake Sun Wukong and fake Zhu Bajie are too ingenious; I can't tell them apart..."

"Why don't you go to the eighteenth level of hell and find Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? He has a divine beast named Di Ting, which can hear the voice of people's hearts..."

"He will definitely be able to tell the difference between the real and the fake!"

The real monkey was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Great! Great! Let's go find Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva right away!"

The group fought and ran until they arrived in the underworld.

We found Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

After explaining the purpose of our visit.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva then dispatched Di Ting...

Listen closely as twelve ears flap back and forth, and hear the inner thoughts of two monkeys and two pigs!

"I am the real one, this monster has no idea where he came from..."

"..."

"It's one thing for a demon to impersonate Senior Brother, but how can there be a demon impersonating me, Old Pig!"

"..."

Some people's true feelings are laid bare.

Some people have no real feelings at all.

If someone is suspicious, isn't it obvious at a glance?

He listened with disdain.

Distinguish between true and false.

This is far too easy for it.

"Listen, can you tell the difference between the real and the fake?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva inquired.

Di Ting stood tall and proud: "Master..."

"I can't tell the difference, I really can't tell the difference..."

Listening closely, I truly dared not distinguish.

It knows quite a lot about the Three Realms and Six Paths.

When a great gourmet showcases their culinary skills...

It was observed using a special method.

Golden-winged Roc, golden-maned blue lion, six-tusked white elephant...

It was absolutely delicious, with perfect color, aroma, and taste...

wrong.

That's miserable.

Just now, Di Ting felt the naked look in a certain pig's eyes when it looked at him.

Di Ting really wanted to say something.

Not only can I not tell the difference...

And the meat itself doesn't taste good.

After he finished speaking, he quickly shrank behind Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

"Great Sage, this demon's abilities are extraordinary; even the Di Ting (a mythical beast) cannot distinguish it..."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva spoke.

The real monkey grew a little impatient upon hearing this: "Even the Di Ting (a mythical beast) can't tell the difference, what should we do..."

Upon hearing this, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said, "Why not try your luck in the Heavenly Court? The Heavenly Court is full of talented people..."

This Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is also dropping bombs...

This is the real and fake Sun Wukong.

The real and the fake Pigsy.

It's a bomb.

It could explode at any moment...

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva doesn't care when the explosion happens.

Just make sure it doesn't explode in his hands.

"Then let's go find the Jade Emperor!"

The real monkey spoke impatiently, then glared at Shi Jian.

The four of them hurriedly flew towards the Heavenly Court.

Before leaving.

One of the pigs glanced longingly at Di Ting one last time...

The Di Ting trembled even more.

A group of people stormed the Heavenly Court.

The people of Heaven already knew how things were going to develop.

Now they've all drifted off into their own thoughts.

The Jade Emperor, however, seemed quite interested, looking like he was watching a good show.

He warmly received the four of them.

After the monkey finished explaining the reason...

The Jade Emperor said, "Let Taibai distinguish between them; he and you, Great Sage, are the most familiar with each other..."

Venus, who was suddenly tagged, was somewhat helpless.

He could only grab his beard and look the two men up and down.

"You are the real Great Sage..."

He spoke to the real Wukong.

Upon hearing this, True Goku was about to show a joyful expression.

Unexpectedly, Taibai turned around and looked Shi Jian up and down, then said, "You are the true Great Sage..."

The real monkey has turned red.

Can you even tell who your mother is?

Taibai Jinxing seemed to realize that his words were somewhat inappropriate, and his old face turned red: "Your Majesty, this old minister also cannot distinguish which one is the true Great Sage!"

Upon hearing this, the real Sun Wukong became anxious: "How come you can't tell the difference? Back then, I, Old Sun, was thrown into the Eight Trigrams Furnace by Laozi to develop my Fiery Eyes, and then I wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace..."

"By the way, the eagle eyes..."

"You're a monster who knows the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Somersault Cloud, but surely you can also have the Fiery Eyes of Truth?"

Wukong seemed to have found hope, and golden light burst forth from his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Shi Jian smiled and said, "I'm the real one, and you're the fake one. I can also see through things with my eagle eyes!"

Golden light also burst forth in Shi Jian's eyes in an instant.

The two Sun Wukongs looked at each other using their Fiery Eyes of Truth.

Four golden lights flashed back and forth on the field.

The people in Heaven were dumbfounded.

There is also this operation.

"Impossible, impossible! My Fiery Eyes of Truth were forged in the Eight Trigrams Furnace. How could you possibly know it? Besides Laozi, who else could have the Eight Trigrams Furnace..."

The real monkey shouted.

The celestial beings in Heaven looked at Laozi with strange expressions.

Lao Jun's face immediately fell into a grimace...

How did this get dragged into me?

The two monkeys and the two pigs started arguing right there in the Lingxiao Palace.

The Jade Emperor, annoyed by this, also started dropping bombshells: "Great Sage, even the Heavenly Court can't tell the real from the fake... Why don't you go to Mount Ling and find the Buddha..."

"Let him figure it out!"

The real monkey wasn't as excited as before this time...

Tang Seng
Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Heaven...

So many people can't tell them apart.

How could the Tathagata possibly distinguish between them?

However, I was willing to give it a try, even if it didn't work out...

He went anyway.

"Then let's go to Mount Ling..."

The group then headed towards Mount Ling.

After they arrived at Lingshan.

Lingshan was clearly in a state of high alert.

obviously.

They also knew what had happened.

They also know about how the fake Sun Wukong and the fake Zhu Bajie overpowered the Peacock King.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so careful.

This Buddha is truly extraordinary.

With one move...

That was incredibly arrogant.

"Please, fellow Daoist, show mercy... I am willing to offer this humble gift..."

The Buddha's first move was full of human relationships and worldly wisdom.

He secretly transmitted his voice to Shi Jian.

Unable to ascertain the origins of Shi Jian and Shi Hao, yet knowing they were both exceptionally strong, he lacked the confidence to defeat them.

Therefore, the Buddha did not force the issue.

Instead, they started playing the game of interpersonal relationships.

They are very generous when it comes to spending money.

"Your Buddhist Peacock King even attacked my brother and me before. Your local gang is being a bit rude!"

Shi Jian replied telepathically.

"What does Fellow Daoist wish to do?"

"You have to pay more!"

Looking at the conditions promised by Buddha, Shi Jian felt that Buddha was not as hateful as he was portrayed in those novels.

He has a kind and gentle appearance.

Buddha engaged in a discussion of human relationships with the two brothers, Shi Jian and Shi Hao.

The matter was discussed and resolved properly...

then.

After the real monkey explained the whole story.

The Buddha smiled, pointing to the real monkey, and said, "You are real!"

Then he looked at the real Pigsy.

"You really are..."

The real monkey, the real Pigsy, was overjoyed upon hearing this.

At this moment, I felt that Buddha was like a second parent.

Even with a head full of bumps, he looked so pleasing to the eye.

"Finally, someone can recognize me, Old Sun!"

The monkey's eyes welled up with tears.
