I start by accepting Sun Wukong as my disciple and reshape the Journey to the West

Chapter 132 finally saved the alligator dragon.

Outside the Jing River, Guanyin Bodhisattva gazes at the calm river surface.

"Bodhisattva, the Dragon King of the Jing River has defied the imperial decree. Will the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty really step in to help him?"

"meeting!"

"Will he die then?"

"meeting!"

Having received an affirmative answer, Huian Xingzhe did not speak again. After leaving Prime Minister Xiao Yu's residence, the Bodhisattva exuded a sense of unfamiliarity and aloofness, as if he wanted to keep strangers away.

Especially after saying that he would use extraordinary means, Huian Xingzhe could sense the faint killing intent emanating from Guanyin Bodhisattva. He chose to shut up and obediently sat down behind Guanyin Bodhisattva to meditate quietly.

Beneath the water's surface, Tuo Jie stared at Guanyin Bodhisattva for a long time, her eyes devoid of sorrow or joy. She knew that since the other party was Guanyin Bodhisattva, even with her father's natal dragon pearl protecting her, she might die if she truly exposed her murderous intent.

Composing himself, he swam westward on his own.

The water remained undisturbed, but Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned slightly. She vaguely felt that she had made some mistake. Just as she was about to perform a divination, Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly looked to her side: "Who goes there!"

Di Ting's figure slowly appeared, his dark robe concealing his already thin body. He clasped his hands together and said, "Di Ting has heard of Guanyin Bodhisattva."

"Why have you come to me if you are not practicing under the guidance of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

"Reporting to Guanyin Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sent me to tell you that the Emperor Star is guarded by someone, and we must not act rashly, lest we incur karmic consequences."

"How can the unmoving imperial star activate destiny? And how can the pilgrims bear the fate of the nation? Ksitigarbha has been in the underworld for so long that he has even lost his will to live?"

Listening to Guanyin Bodhisattva's scolding, Di Ting did not refute, nor dared to refute.

“Bodhisattva, Master once tried to use supreme means to directly pull Emperor Star into reincarnation, but you were injured in the process. The fortune above Emperor Star should not be disturbed lightly.”

Di Ting's words startled Guanyin Bodhisattva. It was at this moment that Tuo Jie finally left the Jinghe region. After a long while, Guanyin Bodhisattva finally said, "Cause and effect are not on the Emperor Star. Because of your arrival, I did lose a cause and effect, but it is not on the Emperor Star."

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the boundary of the Jing River and then withdrew her gaze: "Go back and tell your Lord that since He has become a fish on the chopping board, He should not interfere with cause and effect at will. Huian, follow me to erase that cause and effect."

After Guanyin Bodhisattva finished speaking, she sped off towards the border of the Jing River.

Huian Xingzhe glanced at Diting and then followed Guanyin Bodhisattva directly.

As Huian Xingzhe's figure dissipated, Di Ting began to gasp for breath, his face deathly pale.

Di Ting cautiously said, "With the Bodhisattva helping me conceal it, it should be able to shield the aura of my attack."

“The Buddhists are too dishonest. If I were Xuantian, I would have taken action long ago to completely imprison you two, and I would not have given you any chance.”

Hearing the voice behind him, Di Ting subconsciously swallowed. He slowly turned around and saw Lu Ya's indifferent eyes.

Emotionless, utterly cold.

“Lord Lu Ya!” Di Ting said in a trembling voice.

boom!
Di Ting was sent flying by Lu Ya's punch.

With another loud bang, Di Ting's body was embedded directly into the mountainside, without Di Ting even using any of its magic power to create a barrier.

He used all his strength to break free from the mountain, his face full of grievance: "I don't know why Daoist Lu Ya attacked me."

Uh-huh!
Lu Ya grabbed Di Ting by the neck with one hand and lifted him up. With a little force, Di Ting's face turned even paler, and he kept hitting Lu Ya's hands.

"If you acknowledge that your master is still working for Buddhism, you can suffer less."

Di Ting's eyes were full of pleading: "Master really did not do these things, Daoist Lu Ya, you have really wronged my master."

"If it weren't for your ability to search the entire Three Realms, with just that one Dragon Ball, he could have left without a trace. Do you really not admit that?"

Lu Ya tightened his grip, as if he really wanted to strangle Di Ting to death.

Yet, Di Ting did not offer the slightest resistance, and its struggles grew weaker and weaker.

Hmph! Lu Ya snorted coldly and tossed Di Ting aside.

Cough, cough, the newly freed Di Ting coughed incessantly, breathing in the hard-won fresh air.

“If you had shown the slightest resistance just now, I guarantee that from this day forward, there will be one less being in the entire Three Realms. I must say, you and your master are both very patient.”

Di Ting raised his head slightly, looking at Lu Ya who was slowly squatting down: "Daoist Lu Ya, I really don't know what you're talking about?"

"Did your master think that by doing this, he could preserve a shred of merit for Buddhism?"

Di Ting didn't reply, but just waited anxiously. Lu Ya didn't keep him in suspense and continued.

"I'm telling you today, as long as Xuantian doesn't want to release the merit, you won't get it no matter how hard you try. Go back and tell your master that if he wants to take sides, he should behave himself. Otherwise, every time he makes a move, the Buddhist sect's merit will be stripped away."

Lu Ya stood up, looked in the direction where Guanyin Bodhisattva and the other person had left, and continued, "Of course, I might as well tell you frankly, Xuan Tian is not afraid of people like your master making moves. He even hopes that you will keep making moves, so that he can have a stronger control over every bit of merit."

"In his mind, fighting against heaven and earth is all within the realm of divination and the principles of law. Only by fighting against people can one constantly increase the variables, thus making heaven and earth undetectable and imperceptible. This is because in his mind, heaven and earth are too rigid, even when selfish desires arise, but the human heart is infinitely varied in an instant."

Lu Ya turned his head slightly and looked at Di Ting: "You can go back a little later and see how this thread of cause and effect was lost in the hands of the two Bodhisattvas."

Lu Ya disappeared after saying those words, leaving Di Ting bewildered in the wind.

As Lu Ya said, even though Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had relinquished his divine consciousness, he still did not give up on making his move. In the ancient times, there were no weaklings, especially Ksitigarbha, who had entered Buddhism early on and had deeply inherited the true teachings of the two saints.

Whether it was the Red Ape or the Ghost King, or the ten reincarnations of Jin Chanzi, the Mosquito Daoist, or now, He never thought of truly relying on Ye Xuantian's charity to reach the Great Dao. He has always been making moves, always wanting to grab a little more merit for Buddhism.

Otherwise, how could Di Ting have truly offered no resistance at all?

However, Di Ting was now somewhat panicked. Relying on his ability to hear the Three Realms, he sensed a trace of karma that Guanyin Bodhisattva might have lost and gave Guanyin Bodhisattva a reminder.

When Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke, he wondered if this karmic connection should fall on his master, but Lu Ya's performance just now made him a little flustered.

"Has the Sage of Xuantian truly reached the point of being able to calculate without error? Does such a person truly exist in this world?"

……

Wow!
Tuojie used his water control technique to its fullest extent, heading west at an extremely fast speed, his eyes filled with anxiety. He didn't understand why, even though he had concealed his presence, he had still attracted the attention of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"You wretched creature, show yourself now, and I might spare your life!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva slapped out a palm from mid-air on the water.

The powerful chanting of Buddhist scriptures came along with Guanyin Bodhisattva's attack. Tuo Jie pushed her own potential to the limit and barely managed to dodge the blow. "No, if I continue to run like this, I'll probably be exhausted sooner or later. I might as well take a gamble."

The dragon pearl in the alligator's hand transformed into a steel whip, which then flew out by pushing through the water. The steel whip seemed to merge with the alligator, and with a flash of cold light, it struck straight at Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Guanyin Bodhisattva stepped back slightly, and Huian Xingzhe, holding a heavy iron cudgel, rushed forward to meet her.

The sound of metal clashing filled the air. After only three or five rounds, the alligator dragon was exhausted. Guanyin Bodhisattva's voice rang out at the right moment: "Huian, kill him, and we will accept this karma."

"Yes!" Huian Xingzhe responded, his iron rod rising straight up in the wind. With a muffled thud, the alligator dragon was sent flying.

As the iron rod fell towards him, Tuolong was filled with mixed emotions: "Father, I'm afraid I'll have to go before you, but even if I die, I will try to give you a chance to live."

Then the alligator dragon transformed into its true form, its tail striking first from behind in the void, heading straight for Huian Xingzhe's waist.

Huian Xingzhe dared not be careless. He suddenly withdrew the iron rod that was about to fall and blocked it at his waist.

"Oh no! Bodhisattva, be careful!" Huian Xingzhe thought his parry was timely, but the huge tail disappeared from sight.

Guanyin Bodhisattva pushed out a palm towards the void on the right.

The form of the alligator dragon appeared in the void, its blood-red maw roaring, "A bunch of hypocrites, prepare to die!"

boom!
Guanyin Bodhisattva's palm strike came with great speed and landed directly on the dragon's brow.

The alligator dragon felt its three souls and seven spirits completely dissipate under this palm strike, and its body flew backward, crashing heavily onto the water.

“Those Buddhist monks are full of false benevolence and righteousness. Father, I really must take my leave first.”

The bloody taste in its mouth gradually blurred the dragon's consciousness, causing it to fall continuously. Through the water's surface, one could see the solemn image of the Bodhisattva.

"Are you really just going to accept your fate like this? Don't you want to know if your father is really going to die?"

"Yes!" the alligator dragon responded to the voice that suddenly rang in its mind.

"If your father truly dies at the hands of Guanyin Bodhisattva, what will you do?"

"We are irreconcilable enemies with Buddhism!" the alligator dragon replied unconsciously.

"Alright! Then I'll give you a chance, make you a piece on the chessboard, and give you a chance to avenge your father. Are you willing?"

"Yes, I'm willing to pay any price!"

The alligator dragon responded unconsciously, then fell into a deep coma.

On the water, waves surged and blood stained the surface.

Huian Xingzhe: "Master, should I go into the water to check if the alligator dragon is truly dead?"

"No need! If he truly survives my attack, then that is his fate!"

The certainty in Guanyin Bodhisattva's words made Huian Xingzhe lower his eyes.

Yes, it's far too easy for a Bodhisattva to kill a crocodile dragon. It would be strange if the crocodile dragon actually survived.

"Let's go, the key is at the Jing River Dragon King's place!"

……

Xuantian Gate.

Dongfang Shuo has been cultivating diligently in the secret realm and has now reached the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Over the years, he has absorbed all of Lu Ya's teachings, which has finally enabled him to make considerable progress.

boom.

Upon hearing a muffled thud, Dongfang Shuo quickly emerged from his cultivation and appeared outside the mountain gate in a flash.

At this point, the alligator dragon was taking in more air than it was expelling, and it could die at any moment.

Lu Ya Daoist rubbed his shoulders: "This kid is really heavy. Shuo'er, what are you looking at? Hurry up and put him in."

"Hey, here we come!"

Dongfang Shuo, his face beaming with joy, disregarded the blood-soaked alligator dragon and took out a peach, stuffing it into the dragon's mouth. In the blink of an eye, half of the peach was absorbed.

Dongfang Shuo hoisted the alligator dragon onto his shoulder: "He really can't withstand any more magical damage right now. He's just one breath away from dying. Uncle-Master, your methods are becoming more and more powerful. You can even save someone like this?"

Dongfang Shuo's flattery seemed genuine, and Lu Ya waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't have your master's ability to protect the three souls and seven spirits. That was all done by your master."

"Master has returned too?" Dongfang Shuo truly wondered, for heaven knows how he had spent the past few hundred years.

If it weren't for the many demons that accompanied him on Flower Fruit Mountain, he really would have liked to go out and explore.

"No, your master is currently in the Tang Dynasty territory, playing a game with Guanyin Bodhisattva."

After placing the alligator dragon on the stone bed, Dongfang Shuo began to treat its body: "The journey to the west has begun, and I vaguely sensed some cause and effect, as if it wants me to leave this place. Uncle-Master, do you think I should go out?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ya's lips curled into a smile: "You brat, you're already at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. If you want to get out, do you think I'd help you stay trapped here?"

"The spirits and monsters of Flower Fruit Mountain have already gained considerable power. If I'm not here, who will manage them?"

Hearing Dongfang Shuo's rambling, Lu Ya said irritably, "This world can keep turning even without anyone. Don't take yourself too seriously. If you really want to go through the Tribulation, then go and see for yourself."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Shuo's smile widened even more: "Hehe, thank you, Uncle-Master!"

Having received reassurance, Dongfang Shuo began to treat the alligator dragon's body more diligently.

"Uncle-Master, he's just a person with an impure bloodline, why save him?"

"Your master said that he has a strong obsession and might be able to steal a little more merit. Of course, this is just your master's righteous excuse."

"What about actually?"

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva joined forces to try to steal the karma of Emperor Star's son. Your master did not intend to give them this opportunity, so he used supreme means to help him protect his three souls and seven spirits, and with his obsession, he kept the three souls and seven spirits. I believe that the Dragon Clan will have more merit in the future."

Lu Ya's words startled Dongfang Shuo: "Uncle-Master, I'm actually very curious, why is Master so good to the Dragon Clan?"

Lu Ya pondered for a moment before speaking, "Because the dragon race holds a special place in the hearts of later generations of humans, now that we have the opportunity, we naturally want to preserve this lineage as completely as possible."
