The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 335 The True and False Monkey King

Sun Wukong suppressed his greed because he was mindful of Li Jingxiao's strength and talent.

They intend to honestly return Li Jingxiao's treasure.

He then scolded Pigsy, who had also become greedy, before hanging the gourd on his waist and leading Pigsy and Sandy into the Pipa Cave to rescue Tang Sanzang.

Just as they emerged from the Pipa Cave, Tang Sanzang, whose legs were weak and who was clinging to Pigsy's back, vaguely heard cries of pleas for mercy.

Listen carefully again, and you'll recognize the voice of the scorpion demon.

Tang Sanzang was so frightened that his face turned pale and he almost cried out, "Your Majesty, spare my life!"

When she was captured and imprisoned in the Pipa Cave, the scorpion demon made no attempt to conceal her purpose.

She only wished to marry Tang Sanzang and enjoy the pleasures of love.

She even took off her clothes and exposed her breasts, all to seduce Tang Sanzang.

However, this scorpion demon actually pretended to be innocent and didn't rely on her strength.

She forced herself on Tang Sanzang.

Otherwise, Tang Sanzang, who had been born with the body of ten lifetimes of primordial yang, would not have been able to become a high-ranking monk.

However, it seems that some monks in the Tang Dynasty did actually get married.

Outside of the Tang Dynasty, there were even more monks who practiced dual cultivation.

Therefore, many precepts were actually added by later generations.

When Sun Wukong saw that Tang Sanzang's face had turned pale with fright, he felt contempt for him, but he had no choice but to tell the monk what was wrong.

The scorpion demon has been subdued by Li Jingxiao's treasure gourd.

Tang Sanzang was finally relieved.

Hearing the scorpion demon's repeated pleas for mercy, the monk was actually moved with compassion.

After Sun Wukong had walked far away from them, he...

They returned to the Pipa Cave and released the scorpion demon.

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes after hearing this, but Zhu Bajie blamed the monkey for not letting him see the treasure earlier.

Not only did he criticize Sun Wukong, but he also agreed with Tang Sanzang's decision to release the prisoners.

The monkey was so angry that it wanted to hit someone, but in the end it simply made an excuse to return the treasure to Li Jingxiao.

He took the gourd and ran to the Wave Moon Cave, letting Li Jingxiao decide whether to release the scorpion demon.

Without a second thought, Li Jingxiao took the gourd and ran to Mount Putuo.

When the Scorpion Demon was preaching to Buddha, she not only eavesdropped but also stung Buddha's finger.

The pain was so intense that even Buddha felt it was unbearable and ordered the Dharma protectors to capture her.

Unexpectedly, this scorpion demon was highly skilled and, after escaping the pursuit, hid in the Pipa Cave.

Li Jingxiao guessed that it was most likely a guardian deity, who also couldn't do anything about this scorpion demon.

Even the Bodhisattva himself said that the scorpion demon's "horse-reversing poison" was extremely potent.

Even he wouldn't dare get close.

To avoid getting stung and losing face.

Guanyin Bodhisattva watched as Li Jingxiao actually captured the scorpion demon and brought it to her.

He couldn't help but give Li Jingxiao a meaningful look.

This made Li Jingxiao immediately regret his actions.

I thought this scorpion demon was a wanted criminal whom Buddha had ordered to be captured.

Presenting it to the Bodhisattva should be a way to gain favor and reward.

But judging from the Bodhisattva's expression, it seemed that he was unwilling to take on this trouble.

Li Jingxiao then realized that they wanted to kill the scorpion demon to demonstrate the majesty of Mount Ling.

But it's not easy to say it outright.

Thinking of this, Li Jingxiao simply opened the gourd and poured out the scorpion demon.

He took out the towering white jade pillar and, before the Bodhisattva could react, smashed the scorpion demon to death with a single blow.

The Bodhisattva's expression changed, and finally she gave a reproachful look and spoke at length.

Li Jingxiao quickly cooperated and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

The Bodhisattva then scolded him while saying that he would preach to him.

It was said that this was to prevent Li Jingxiao from having too much desire to subdue demons and monsters, which would lead to excessive killing intent and cause him to suffer harm in the future.

Li Jingxiao was naturally eager to hear the Bodhisattva preach.

It only took one day.

The Pure Yang Everlasting Spring Skill is taught by the Grandmaster (32.7/40).

Successfully broke through to the Legendary level (0.1 million/60).

After his breakthrough, Li Jingxiao had previously experienced being rejuvenated in front of a Bodhisattva.

So he wasn't worried at all about any danger in Luojia Mountain.

After the body absorbs countless pure yang energies from the dantian.

True Qi doubles, recovery speed doubles.

Increase lifespan.

Physical strength, defense, and power have been greatly enhanced.

At this moment, Li Jingxiao clenched his fist, feeling that his punches and kicks could definitely exceed 1.5 jin.

Then attention was focused on the three-dimensional attribute points.

Root Bone +70, Constitution +70.

The three-dimensional attribute points became Constitution 330 and Root Bone 331+28.

Comprehension: 104+14.

An hour later, the true energy in Li Jingxiao's dantian was restored once again.

But the pure yang energy within his body had now surged so powerfully that even his breath carried traces of pure yang energy.

Now it's impossible for Li Jingxiao not to become Tang Sanzang.

Fortunately, with his true energy doubling and his strength increasing significantly, his overall power also grew considerably.

It would be much more difficult for those female demons and ghosts to eat him.

Of course, if she's pretty, it's even easier for Li Jingxiao to seduce her.

The Bodhisattva could naturally see Li Jingxiao's situation as well.

To avoid trouble, let him stay in the Purple Bamboo Forest for a few more days.

Leave only when the newly generated, vigorous pure Yang energy in the body stops dissipating outwards.

Li Jingxiao naturally had no objections.

They even hoped that the Bodhisattva would preach to them one more time.

For a period of time afterward, he was not drinking with Muzha, Red Boy, or the Black Bear Spirit.

It involved fighting with three people.

Incidentally, even the carp spirit that was captured and brought back, namely the Great King of Inspiration, was also captured.

He dragged them all into drinking and fighting.

Therefore, during my stay at Mount Putuo, I was able to earn more experience points each day.

However, Li Jingxiao dared not continue practicing the Pure Yang Everlasting Spring Technique for the time being.

The speed of cultivation for this technique is simply too fast, especially starting from the Grandmaster stage.

It's basically not a skill level that comes from training.

Li Jingxiao was always worried that cultivating too quickly would have consequences.

He could only begin to study the "Divine Firmament Five Thunder Subduing Demon Orthodox Method".

Based on Li Jingxiao's current three-dimensional attributes, his physique and meridians have expanded by 3190%.

The cultivation speed increased by 4430%.

By relying solely on self-cultivation, one can gain 75.1 proficiency points per hour.

With over ten hours of training every day, plus drinking Peach Blossom Immortal Wine, one can gain at least 1200 points of proficiency.

In just one month, "The Divine Firmament Five Thunder Subduing Demons Orthodox Method" went from Grandmaster to (31/40).

Cultivation level: (35/40).

My level has also increased to 135.

On this day, Li Jingxiao was fighting with the Black Bear Spirit when suddenly he saw two Sun Wukongs fighting all the way from the sky to Mount Putuo.

Li Jingxiao could tell at a glance that this was definitely the real and fake Monkey King.

However, the Six-Eared Macaque was indeed powerful. Whether it was martial arts, transformation, or Taoist magic, he was able to do exactly the same thing as Sun Wukong.

Throughout the entire Three Realms, only Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's mount, Di Ting, exists.

Only Buddha could tell who was Sun Wukong and who was the Six-Eared Macaque.

Moreover, the Six-Eared Macaque has an eccentric personality and holds grudges.

Di Ting was worried that if he recognized the Six-Eared Macaque, neither the Underworld nor Sun Wukong could capture him. In the end, the Underworld would be the one to suffer, which is why he pretended not to recognize the real and fake Monkey Kings.

However, before this, Li Jingxiao had always believed that the so-called true and false Monkey King was just a play directed and acted by Sun Wukong himself.

After all, the conflict between him and Tang Sanzang was no secret to Li Jingxiao, the Bodhisattva, and others.

Moreover, Tang Sanzang's repeated attempts to drive away Sun Wukong were tantamount to cutting off his chance to become a Buddha.

This is a blood feud.

The two monkeys caused a ruckus and ended up near Guanyin Bodhisattva, who couldn't tell the real monkey from the fake one.

Or perhaps, even the Bodhisattva was unwilling to expose Sun Wukong.

The Jade Emperor sent two monkeys to the Heavenly Court, and ordered Li Jing to use the Demon-Revealing Mirror to examine them.

It's equally impossible to distinguish between real and fake.

They went to another place to make a scene. Di Ting noticed the problem but dared not speak up.

Only two monkeys could be sent to Mount Ling. When Sun Wukong stood before the Buddha, he sounded incredibly aggrieved.

In the end, in order for the pilgrimage to proceed smoothly, the Buddha could only come up with the idea of ​​the "Four Great Spiritual Monkeys".

They called the fake monkey a six-eared macaque.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao truly believed that the story of the real and fake Monkey Kings was a play directed and acted by Sun Wukong himself.

Moreover, on Flower Fruit Mountain, among Sun Wukong's four great generals, two are red-bottomed macaques and two are long-backed apes.

There is no Six-Eared Macaque.

This made Li Jingxiao even more suspicious that the monkey was staging the whole thing.

But when the two monkeys fought their way to the Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva was astonished.

No matter how many supernatural powers you use to see, or how many incantations you recite to tighten the headband, you still can't tell who is real and who is fake.

Just as the Bodhisattva was about to send the two monkeys to the Heavenly Court to ask the Jade Emperor for help.

One of the monkeys suddenly looked at Li Jingxiao and said, "Brother, you have always been extraordinary. Please help me, Old Sun, out."

When another monkey heard this, it said the same thing and came to Li Jingxiao for help.

Li Jingxiao was genuinely surprised.

If the monkey orchestrated this whole thing, it shouldn't have said those things.

Li Jingxiao should pretend he can't tell the difference and let Sun Wukong cause trouble, so that he won't be bullied by Tang Sanzang because of his master's title.

Therefore, pretending not to be able to tell the difference between truth and falsehood is actually helping the monkey.

But if the Six-Eared Macaque really exists, the potential profits are enormous.

Moreover, upon closer examination, the Buddha's sole purpose was to ensure the eastward transmission of Buddhism.

As long as the monkey continues to protect Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West, nothing else matters.

The less motivation there is for this incident, the more beneficial it is for Buddha.

To avoid the conflict between Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang becoming known throughout the world, which would ultimately bring shame upon Mount Ling.

Moreover, if the Six-Eared Macaque really exists, it would be a great achievement for Li Jingxiao to distinguish between the real and the fake.

So Li Jingxiao only pondered for a moment before turning his gaze to the Bodhisattva.

Seeing the Bodhisattva nod at him, Li Jingxiao felt more confident.

Take out the +5 Sky-Supporting White Jade Pillar.

He looked at the two monkeys and said, "This treasure is called the Sky-Supporting White Jade Pillar, and it weighs 11200 jin."

It is the precious iron of the Western Sea that stabilizes the sea.

After he finished speaking, the two monkeys, the Bodhisattva, Red Boy, the Black Bear Spirit, and Muzha were all stunned.

Then I understood.

Sun Wukong's golden cudgel is a precious iron artifact left behind in the East Sea by King Yu the Great after he controlled the floods.

Since Li Jingxiao has a very close relationship with the West Sea Dragon Palace.

The weapon in his hand was the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron from the Western Sea.

This means that Li Jingxiao might actually have a way of identifying which of the two monkeys' sticks is also the Dinghai Divine Iron.

Both monkeys beamed with joy upon hearing this.

It's impossible to tell who has a guilty conscience.

It is evident that the six-eared macaque's ability to imitate and its mental fortitude are indeed ridiculously impressive.

The two monkeys exchanged a glance and simultaneously threw their sticks to Li Jingxiao.

But after catching the two sticks, Li Jingxiao didn't rush to identify them.

Instead, he revealed the Immortal Binding Rope on his wrist and looked at the Bodhisattva.

The Bodhisattva immediately understood Li Jingxiao's meaning.

The prayer beads in his hand and the bracelet on Li Jingxiao's wrist transformed into two chains.

It spun around the two monkeys' bodies.

The purpose was naturally to force the fake Sun Wukong to reveal a flaw.

Sun Wukong was naturally not afraid that the people around him would harm him after he was tied up.

So the monkey calmly stretched out its hands, indicating that it could be tied up however it pleased.

But the Six-Eared Macaque was still not giving up.

Or perhaps they still harbor a侥幸心理 (a sense of wishful thinking).

He felt that Li Jingxiao and the Bodhisattva were either bluffing him or had confidence in his abilities.

Confidence is but a chain; how can it possibly restrict oneself?

The Bodhisattva and Li Jingxiao watched as the two monkeys seemed to accept it all without a care in the world.

A sense of joy welled up inside me.

Once bound, the Six-Eared Macaque has already lost.

The rosary in the Bodhisattva's hand is the immortal-grade binding rope given to her by Li Jingxiao.

This thing has a bug-like ability: once a target is bound, they cannot break free unless they are stronger than the Bodhisattva.

Li Jingxiao's "Pure Yang Everlasting Spring Skill" was recently upgraded again.

Even though he's not as strong as the Six-Eared Macaque, he can still restrain him for a few seconds.

Those few seconds were enough for the Bodhisattva to forcefully suppress him.

So Li Jingxiao and the Bodhisattva nodded, and the two Immortal Binding Ropes bound the two monkeys at the same time.

Instantly, Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque felt that their magical power was being restricted by the chains.

Now the Six-Eared Macaque was truly frightened.

Even at this point, the guy's expression and his reaction after being tied up were still noticeable.

He is exactly the same as Sun Wukong.

But Li Jingxiao could feel the stick he was holding in his left hand suddenly vibrating violently, trying to slip out of his grasp.

Li Jingxiao was now 99% certain that the second monkey would be the Six-Eared Macaque.

With a thought, he put both the sticks in his hands into his inventory.

Without a second thought, he gave them two weapons and upgraded them both once.

In an instant, one of them appeared as the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff).

One of them is called "Sui Xin Tie Gan Bing" (meaning "Sui Xin Ironclad Soldier").

At this point, Li Jingxiao had no choice but to believe that the Six-Eared Macaque really existed.

The system is definitely not wrong; it's Li Jingxiao's key to survival.

This is sufficient to prove that the two weapons are not the same.

This naturally proves that the one wielding the "Iron Staff of Free Will" is the Six-Eared Macaque.

Li Jingxiao immediately threw the towering white jade pillar to Sun Wukong.

The binding ropes on Sun Wukong's body also loosened automatically.

After catching the white jade pillar, the monkey grinned maliciously and swung the stick down at the head of the Six-Eared Macaque.

The Bodhisattva opened his mouth, intending to call out to Sun Wukong.

After all, the Six-Eared Macaque's practicality is actually greater than that of Sun Wukong.

Its fighting ability is no less than that of a monkey, but its ability to change shape and disguise is ridiculously strong.

If you recruit someone like this as a subordinate, he will be of great use in the future.

But the Bodhisattva also realized that if he really stopped Sun Wukong...

Not only Sun Wukong would become disloyal.

Li Jingxiao, Red Boy, Black Bear Spirit, and even Muzha would feel fear and suspicion.

It's not worth it to cause conflict with five close friends over a Six-Eared Macaque.

So all they could do was watch as Sun Wukong, with a single blow, killed the Six-Eared Macaque, who had lost his weapon and whose strength had greatly diminished.
