The Journey to the West is over, and the Perfect Life System is here

Chapter 206: Blackwater River Game
Sun Wukong asked the doubts in his heart in the identity of Lingtai Sanren.

Red Boy was silent for a moment before answering, "Because I am the reincarnation of the spirit of the Yaksha King's son, and I have been having a nightmare since I was a child.

In my dream, many people wanted to kill me, including a monk as tall as a mountain, a flying bird, and a fire-breathing statue...

I also dreamed that I grew up, with very long horns growing on my head and very long spikes growing on my hands. I could kill a large group of them at a time, but there were too many of them and I couldn't kill them all.

There was also a group of strange people I had never seen before. They just quietly looked down at everything from the sky and did nothing until they saw me being killed."

Sun Wukong understood.

Monks, strange birds, statues of gods, and strange people looking down from the sky.

Obviously, it wasn't just the powerful demons who took action at that time.

In other words, some people in Buddhism colluded with powerful demons, so the latter dared to attack the Asura clan.

As to whether anyone from heaven was involved, it is not yet certain.

Red Boy continued, "Later, I became Shancai Tongzi under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva. During those days in the South China Sea, I figured out everything in the dream and learned the truth about the extermination of my clan.

I don't know who in Buddhism is colluding with the evil sects. With my position in Buddhism, I can't find out anything, so I thought about leaving that place and taking revenge in other ways.

But in the end I was caught and taken back, becoming the Good Fortune Boy in their eyes.

This time, when the Bodhisattva sent me out on my own initiative, I had a premonition that I might become a discarded pawn in the struggle between various parties.

It is indeed so. If it were not for the senior’s rescue, I would have died by now.”

At the end of his speech, he bowed seriously.

Sun Wukong saw the unyielding spirit in Red Boy's words and actions. It seemed that he was unwilling to ask for help, but had to do so.

He has been tormented by hatred for hundreds of years, but cannot find a strong person to support him.

And today he finally met one, so naturally he didn't want to miss it.

"However, I'm not a pushover. I need to get to the bottom of this," Sun Wukong thought to himself. Then, as a wandering spirit, he asked, "Since the Asuras were created by the Blood Sea and the Styx, why don't you go look for him?"

A hint of disappointment flashed across Red Boy's eyes, but he still said respectfully, "Because I can't find the ancestor either. He hasn't appeared since the witch-lich calamity.

Even a thousand years ago, when the Asuras were nearly extinct, the ancestor never showed up."

Sun Wukong nodded slightly. This old man of the Styx was indeed as the rumors said, extremely cautious and unwilling to be involved in any cause and effect.

Thinking of this, he added: "I'll give you a chance for revenge."

Red Boy was stunned at first, then he burst into tears of joy and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Sun Wukong put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "From today on, you will work in secret with the Black Bear Demon and gather your strength. When the opportunity arises, I will summon you."

Red Boy also became excited when he heard this.

But after the excitement, he thought of something and said hesitantly, "Senior, I have something else to tell you. It's about my father, the Bull Demon King."

Sun Wukong's heart moved, but his expression remained unchanged: "Tell me."

Red Boy knelt there and said, "The last time I left the South Sea, I returned to the Flaming Mountain..."

After listening to his story, Sun Wukong couldn't help but frown slightly.

Especially when he heard that Lao Niu was in imminent danger, his anger surged in his heart, but he finally calmed down and said coldly: "Hmph, if I find out that you are lying and still doing evil, I will end your life with my own hands."

Red Boy said respectfully in fear, "Senior, I dare not lie to you, or I will die on the spot!"

Sun Wukong didn't say anything else and then left Haoshan directly.

Red Boy and Black Bear Demon, who were left behind, could not calm down for a long time.

……

On the other side, Guanyin went to the Great Leiyin Temple on Lingshan Mountain and reported to the Buddha Tathagata what happened on Haoshan Mountain.

When he heard that the demon king Shiva had appeared and was defeated by the Taoist Lingtai, Tathagata smiled and said, "Good! It seems that my anti-demon camp has added a master."

Guanyin was silent for a moment before she said, "But he told me to get out."

Tathagata was unusually surprised, then smiled and nodded: "He is a man of character."

Guanyin chanted "Amitabha" and continued, "Buddha, Shiva mentioned the name of Buddha Wu Tian before his death. I think we need to worry about the counterattack of the demonic forces next."

Upon hearing this, Tathagata immediately opened his wisdom eyes and observed the three realms, but he found nothing.

He pondered and said, "According to destiny, after Mara escaped, the Three Realms were to experience a catastrophe. However, due to Wukong's death five hundred years ago, this catastrophe did not break out.

Now it seems that this constant has returned.

Well, this also proves that Wukong will definitely be resurrected this time and fulfill his destiny."

Guanyin was also surprised when she heard this and asked, "Then how should we deal with it?"

Tathagata said slowly, "The previous path remains unchanged, but we must speed up. Only by truly integrating the power of the West can we remain calm in the face of adversity."

Guanyin raised her hand and said with a smile: "Now that fate is on our side, the ancient Buddha will probably suffer a great loss."

Tathagata said sternly: "This is not destiny, but the variable that represents a glimmer of hope."

Guanyin did not argue.

As for the matter of Red Boy, neither of them mentioned it, because he was just an abandoned pawn and not worth talking about.

……

After leaving Haoshan, Sun Wukong continued his journey westwards towards the Black Water River.

But he still had some doubts in his mind.

It was originally thought that the revival of the demonic path that caused the mutations of Zhen Yuanzi and the ginseng fruit tree would be a catastrophe enough to subvert the three realms.

But through Haoshan's experience this time, he discovered that the powerful demons were just like that.

Shiva, one of the four great demon kings, was easily killed by him. The remaining three demon kings, namely, Padmasambhava, Brahma and Devipa, were probably not that strong either, otherwise they would not have colluded with Buddhism.

There are also the four great demon generals, Indra, Vishnu, Rutoro, and Ghost Mother, who are probably at the level of Daluo Jinxian at most.

Could these people cause the Heavenly Court and Buddhism to worry?
Sun Wukong couldn't figure out the reason, but he knew that there must be some secret that he didn't know.

"Seek the truth and improve your strength!"

This is still what he will do next.

Afterwards, he settled several tasks he had completed in Haoshan, including: [Playing with Red Boy], [Recognizing Red Boy as his relative], [Seeing through the demons], and [Guanyin subduing the demons].

The completion of this mission not only gave him more insights into the situation and truth of this time and space, but also greatly improved his strength as the rewards were distributed.

Especially the stick method, which has reached the eighth level of Hunyuan Jinxian, equivalent to the late stage of Quasi-Saint, but the strength is comparable to the peak of Quasi-Saint!

"Well, Old Sun now has a magic weapon, and my strength has also increased. Looking across the three realms, there are not many who can rival me."

"But this is not enough, not enough!"

There was a divine light in Sun Wukong's eyes.

His opponent was no longer the Nanji Xianweng, the Queen Mother of the West, the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp, or even the Tathagata Buddha, who were all powerful. Instead, it was Yuanshi Tianzun!

Even the Taoist ancestor who is in harmony with the way of heaven!

Next, he traveled westward and soon arrived at the Black Water River.

Standing on the clouds, you can see a black river like ink below, blocking the way to the west.

Back then, Sun Wukong didn't take this place seriously, and he still doesn't care about it now.

After all, it is not a natural barrier like the 800-li Liusha River or the 800-li Tongtian River. It is just a small river. At most, the water is a little black. The disaster here was solved without much effort.

Just as I was thinking, the system's voice sounded again.

[One day, you and your disciples were blocked by a black river. While crossing the river, Master Tripitaka and Bajie were suddenly caught by a boatman who was transformed from a monster and thrown into the river.

You learned from the Black Water River God that the monster was Lu Jie, the nephew of Ao Shun, the then Dragon King of the West Sea, and so you devised a plan.

[Obtain Quest: Capture the Dragon in the West Sea (You need to ask someone from the West Sea to come and subdue Lu Jie)]

"It seems I have to go to the West Sea." Sun Wukong scratched his hand.

It's not only because of the mission requirements, but also because the little crocodile has been held captive by Ao Mo'ang in the Western Ocean.

To complete this task, Tuojie's cooperation is definitely needed.

Thinking of this, the Great Sage immediately rode his cloud towards the West Sea and arrived at the Dragon Palace in the West Sea.

Not long ago, he came here to retrieve the dragon ball and true dragon bloodline for Xiaobailong, and finally subdued Ao Shun and Ao Moang, father and son.

Just like in the previous time and space, Ao Shun, who came from the North Sea Dragon Clan, also served as the Dragon King of the West Sea during their journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

As a result, Ao Mo'ang became the crown prince of the West Sea. After the journey to the West was completed, Prince Mo'ang successfully sat on the throne of the Dragon King of the West Sea by virtue of his meritorious service on the journey.

But now, after seeing him, Ao Moang bowed respectfully: "Xiaolong greets the man of destiny."

"Just call me Great Sage," Sun Wukong said as he swaggered onto the Dragon King's throne and asked, "Dragon King of the West Sea, do you admit your guilt?"

Ao Mo'ang was originally surprised by the title "Great Sage", but suddenly he heard the following question.

He was immediately terrified, thinking that the Destiny Man was still going to hold him accountable for leading the Nine-Headed Insect last time. He quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Xiaolong was really forced into a corner at the time. Please, Destiny Man... Great Sage, please forgive me and spare my life!"

Sun Wukong sneered, "What I'm asking is, what's the matter with Tuo Jie inviting your father Ao Shun to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh?"

"what?"

Ao Mo'ang was a little confused. What year was it today?

No, it’s okay for the Great Sage to ask this question back then, but what does it have to do with the Man of Destiny?
Sun Wukong said in a deep voice: "I'm asking you a question. How should we solve this problem now?"

Ao Mo'ang didn't understand at all and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

After thinking it over carefully, he said cautiously, "How about Xiaolong find some time to teach Tu Jie a lesson?"

Sun Wukong scolded, "What are you doing here? Are we going to wait until he eats Tang Sanzang's flesh?"

Ao Mo'ang felt that the man of destiny was speaking increasingly strangely, but he had no time to think about it. He said in embarrassment, "Great Sage, it is truly unfortunate that not long ago, the Bodhisattva Weituo of the Buddhist sect, under the order of the ancient Buddha Dipankara, took away Tu Jie, who was imprisoned in my West Sea."

"Hmm?" Sun Wukong's eyes narrowed. This was something unexpected.

But on second thought, he had many guesses.

It is obvious that the ancient Buddha Ran Deng is about to take action.

Last time at Baihu Ridge, although he let the Happy Buddha sent by Rāhula go, he killed the Juliusun Buddha first.

It is impossible for this ancient Buddha to remain motionless.

Moreover, judging from the experiences of the previous time and space, the ancient Buddha Ran Deng was a clear-cut deification sect, and he joined forces with powerful figures such as the Chan Sect and the Yao Chi Sect to plan the deification.

"He also knew that the man of destiny was retracing his journey to obtain the scriptures, so he took Tuojie away in advance and planned to set up a trap in the Black Water River." Sun Wukong scratched his hand.

As for why he didn't set up a trap in Wanzi Mountain, Pingding Mountain, Wuji Kingdom, Hao Mountain and other places behind Baihu Ridge, it was obvious that these places were not Ran Deng's sphere of influence.

"Well, all parties support the destiny's journey, so the ones we have to deal with in this game are actually Lingtai Sanren and Namo Shengwang Buddha."

Sun Wukong pondered in his heart and soon guessed the general idea of why Tuojie was taken away.

At this moment, Ao Mo'ang saw the man of destiny in front of him who dared to call himself the Great Sage. He scratched his hands in thought, and his eyes shone with divine light. He couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Because he really couldn't figure out the monkey's moves, it was too weird!

Suddenly, the man of destiny said in a deep voice, "Come with me to the Black Water River and capture the little crocodile and bring him to justice."

Ao Mo'ang was stunned, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he could only follow and leave.

However, he had truly submitted to this man of destiny last time, and did not feel any resentment in his heart.

……

At the bottom of the Black Water River, there is a water palace.

At this moment, the Black Water River God was serving several people in the Water Palace Hall with his daughter, trembling with fear.

Sitting in the hall were the Nine-Headed Insect, the Dragon Demon King, and the Yu Monkey King, and lying on the ground was the little crocodile Lu Jie.

The three demon kings ate and drank while talking.

The Nine-Headed Insect suddenly said with hatred: "This time, you two must lend me a hand and teach that destiny person a lesson!"

The Jiao Demon King was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Is this generation's Destiny Really that powerful? They almost killed you with a single arrow?"

The Nine-Headed Insect hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either. It's just that I was careless last time. If I had fought him in close combat, perhaps I could have defeated him."

The Jiao Demon King and the Yu Monkey King looked at each other and agreed that what he said was true.

They were all powerful ancient demons from the North Sea, and of course they knew that the Nine-Headed Insect was good at close combat.

Finally, King Yuxiong reminded: "If the three of us work together, it will be no problem to capture the Man of Destiny, unless he has the strength of a great master.

The only thing you need to be careful about is not harming his life, otherwise His Highness the Sixth Prince will definitely blame you!"

The Nine-headed Insect's eyes were fierce, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

The Dragon Demon King did not say anything, but a wave of memories came to his mind. It was said that the Man of Destiny looked like the Monkey King, but he did not know exactly what it was.

At the same time, the little crocodile lying on the ground was angry and confused.

He was imprisoned in the Dragon Palace in the West Sea for hundreds of years and had no idea what was happening outside.

Who would have thought that I would encounter such a thing as soon as I came out.

However, after listening to the conversation between the three demon kings, he did understand some things, but he also became confused.

That hateful Monkey King died five hundred years ago?
And what is the man of destiny?
At this moment, a little demon came in and reported: "Three great kings, a monkey who claims to be the Man of Destiny has come from outside."

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Headed Insect, the Dragon Demon King, and the Yu Monkey King all stood up.
