Chapter 1764 Practicing Medicine in the Kingdom of Zhu Zi

Tears streamed down Wu Yunxian's face. It took him a long time to come to his senses. He looked at the green-maned lion and the yellow-toothed old elephant and asked, "Junior brother? Is that you? Am I dreaming?"

No matter how much the Tongtian Sect Leader advocated "education for all," his disciples at the very least had to be human-shaped, with two arms, two legs, and a head. If you made an octopus or a hippopotamus, even without the Yuanshi Tianzun mocking him, he himself would be too ashamed to accept it.

Although the former Qiu Shou Xian and Ling Ya Xian had rather peculiar appearances, you could still tell they were human by looking at their faces.

Unlike now, one has a lion's head and the other has an elephant's head, both of which symbolize their fall into the ranks of demons after abandoning the Shangqing Immortal Laws.

The green-haired lion and the yellow-toothed elephant looked at each other and wept. They had been imprisoned by Manjushri and Samantabhadra. If they dared to practice the Shangqing Immortal Techniques again, the disciples of the Jie Sect would have to come and clean up their sect. They could only walk the demonic path. It was because of the restriction that their transformation was incomplete, which is why they had beast heads.

This ugly head serves as a constant reminder of their current identity.

The old elephant with yellow tusks covered his face with his robe sleeve, utterly speechless.

The blue-haired lion became slightly more composed: "Senior brother, it's us."

Although Wuyun Xian was captured by Laozi and turned into an ornamental fish, there were no restrictions on her body, so she was still free. After such torment, the former Great Luo Dao Fruit had fallen to the Taiyi realm, but she still looked like a standard Daoist, which was better than the two in front of her.

His problem lies in the severe setback to his Dao heart. The Green-haired Lion and the Yellow-toothed Elephant have been worn down by hundreds or thousands of years of time. After experiencing anger and disappointment, they have now accepted reality. However, Wu Yunxian's memory is still stuck at the time when he was easily captured by Taishang Laojun.

If Laozi were to apologize to him, his Dao heart could be restored. The problem is, how is that possible?

Wu Yunxian possesses Taiyi-level magical power, but his Dao heart is actually shattered. Let alone returning to the Daluo realm, even his Taiyi Dao Fruit is in grave danger. He probably won't be able to unleash even 30% of his full strength in battle.

"How did you two brothers rescue me?" he asked.

The green-haired lion explained the ins and outs of Journey to the West, and then gave Wuyun Xian a suggestion: "Once this matter is settled, Senior Brother, just go straight back to Jin'ao Island."

Even if the Seven Immortals were weak, they were still following a sage, so they still had some basic insight.

Through some dialogues between Manjushri and Samantabhadra, they judged that Buddhism was bound to decline after its peak, and that there would definitely be a major change after the journey to the West. At that time, if you ran away, no one should care about you.

It's unlikely that Lingbao Tianzun would have to lower himself to beg someone. You, Wuyun Xian, are just a playmate, not a direct disciple. You're not worth the effort of a saint's avatar to save face. But if you go back on your own, he won't send you to Taishang Laojun to be humiliated again.

Wu Yunxian could run away now, but that would mean he'd essentially tricked the Green-haired Lion and the Yellow-toothed Elephant, leaving him with a huge karmic debt to them.
He said, “Very well, I will go with my two brothers to meet this pilgrim.”

Since addressing each other as fellow disciples was inconvenient, I automatically switched to calling them "elder brother" or "younger brother."

Meishan.

When Sun Wukong went to the Heavenly Court to return the Lesser Heavenly Seal, he heard from the heavenly generals that Nezha was going to spar with Yang Jian. He jumped three zhang high and rushed to Meishan at top speed. He barely said a word before wielding his golden cudgel and fighting eighty rounds each with Yang Jian and Nezha.

This kind of fighting aligns with his values. On the journey to the West, he couldn't fight this or that, which was frustrating!

After the fight, he had to hurry back to learn from the experience.

I used the excuse of returning my baby to come out and have fun, but I have to go back immediately.

He immediately said goodbye to Nezha and Yang Jian.

"Wait, monkey!"

"What's the matter?"

After considering it for a moment, Nezha first asked Yang Jian, "Brother Yang, have you noticed anything?"

Yang Jian was completely bewildered. What did I discover?

Knowing that Nezha wouldn't speak carelessly, he immediately activated his divine eye on his forehead and looked Sun Wukong up and down. "No problem," he shook his head.

Nezha's expression turned serious: "Monkey, you have been corrupted by demonic energy. If you don't get rid of it in time, you may be at risk of becoming a demon yourself."

Nezha has been dealing with Rahu a lot lately and is very familiar with him. He can see the demonic energy that even Yang Jian's divine eyes cannot detect.

Sun Wukong has very little demonic energy, but it is definitely present.

If this stuff isn't dealt with promptly, it will accumulate and eventually cause trouble.

"Brother Li, how can we get rid of it?"

"This..." He definitely couldn't pass on Nezha's sect's secret techniques to him. What other options did he have?

After racking his brains, he remembered some cases his teacher had mentioned, and finally came up with a solution.

"The teacher once told a story about a strange person named Retsu Unohana, who killed people without hesitation and whose body was filled with demonic energy. Later, he suppressed his bloodlust, put away his sword, and became a doctor. You might want to try this method. You don't need to do much; just treat a thousand or eight hundred people, and the demonic energy will naturally dissipate."

Sun Wukong: "."

He'd be fine with murder and arson, but healing and saving lives? That's a bit more difficult!

The four members of the Tang Monk's group arrived in the Kingdom of Zhu Zi.

As they drew closer to the Great Thunderclap Temple, and with no debts to worry about, Tang Sanzang was especially happy these past two days, a far cry from his previous worried expression.

At this point, he offered to check the travel documents and told the three of them to stay in the inn and not wander off until he returned, and then continue their journey west the next day.

The Kingdom of Zhu Zi was deeply influenced by the Kingdom of Tian Zhu, and the men and women on the streets were very different from those in the Central Plains.

Jade Rabbit changed into a dress with a strong exotic style and sang and danced with several pretty young ladies.

"Who—brought you to my side—it was that—round, bright moon—"

The song was melodious and had a lingering aftertaste, but Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie clearly lacked artistic talent. They weren't worried about the Jade Rabbit's safety either. If it weren't for the pilgrimage, this junior sister wouldn't be much worse than those great demons. The monkey and the pig left the inn and went out to stroll around on their own.

Tang Sanzang's instructions? What are those?
As he walked down the street, Sun Wukong pondered how to cure the sick and save lives.

The King of Zhu Zi Kingdom fell ill again and issued a royal edict, but his illness was not serious, at least not to the point of desperation.

This raises a problem. What problem? To treat the king, one needs to have medical qualifications, which is an advanced experience learned from the Han and Tang dynasties in the Central Plains.

However, Zhu Ziguo learned a hybrid approach, which resulted in the requirement that only those with experience working in a pharmacy could obtain a medical license.

Sun Wukong went to the pharmacy to recommend himself, thinking that with his skills, obtaining a medical license would be an easy task, but he encountered great trouble.

"I want a job at a pharmacy."

"You need to have a medical license."

"I can only obtain a medical license by working for you."

"Then go to work!"

Sun Wukong was dumbfounded; it was an endless loop with no solution.
