Chapter 154 Tang Sanzang's Three Invitations to Sun Wukong! Tang Sanzang's Determination! (Please Subscribe!!!)

After Tang Sanzang settled in Aolai Kingdom.

He discovered that this small country nestled at the foot of Flower and Fruit Mountain was completely different from what he had imagined.

He originally thought that with so many demons on Flower Fruit Mountain, the mortal kingdom at the foot of Flower Fruit Mountain must be suffering terribly and in dire straits.

It wasn't until they actually arrived in Aolai Kingdom that they discovered this.

Not only were there no signs of demons running rampant here, but the people in the city and the demons even lived in peace, chatting and laughing. The demons were all honest and well-behaved, completely different from the demons he knew.

The warm smiles of the people showed that they were living a very happy and peaceful life.

Tang Sanzang was astonished upon seeing this.

This was completely unexpected.

Can such a place, such a country, really exist in this world?
Not only that.

Tang Sanzang saw many novel things in Aolai Kingdom, things he had never seen before.

This made Tang Sanzang even more alarmed.

"Old man, what are these things?" Tang Sanzang asked as he approached an old man.

"Who are you?" The old man, disturbed by Tang Sanzang, stopped what he was doing and asked in confusion.

"This humble monk is a Buddhist monk who traveled from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. My Dharma name is Tang Sanzang." Tang Sanzang quickly bowed.

"The Great Tang Dynasty of the East? Never heard of it." The old man shook his head at first, but then, as if remembering something, he pondered, "Ah, no, it seems the immortals on the mountain mentioned it..."

Huaguo Mountain was too far away from the Tang Dynasty.

Even though the Tang Dynasty was powerful and renowned, ordinary people had never heard of the Tang Dynasty in the East.

A small village, Aolai Kingdom, and Huaguo Mountain—that was his whole world.

The old man thought for a moment, but didn't pay it any mind. Instead, he cheerfully answered Tang Sanzang's question: "You asked about this? This is a waterwheel that the immortals invented for us."

"A waterwheel? Is there really such a huge waterwheel?" Tang Sanzang's expression immediately turned to astonishment upon hearing this.

Waterwheels already existed in the Tang Dynasty, so Tang Sanzang knew about them.

However, this thing was not widespread even in the Tang Dynasty; it was only available in wealthy areas.

Tang Sanzang never expected to see it in such a place, and it looked even more amazing and complex than those in the Tang Dynasty.

"Yes, according to the immortals, this is a fully automatic irrigation water truck. Since we got this thing, our work has become much easier," the old man chuckled.

Tang Sanzang found it hard to believe.

At Tang Sanzang's request.

Next, the old man introduced Tang Sanzang to things that Tang Sanzang did not recognize.

Each story told was enough to terrify Tang Sanzang.

The old man chatted with Tang Sanzang about his son, who had learned about silkworm raising from the immortals and knew about things like "early male" and "late male"... It was all quite complicated, but he was living a very good life.

From the old man's tone.

Tang Sanzang could feel that sense of pride.

Moreover, those immortals taught many commoners in Aolai Kingdom to read and write, guided various industries in Aolai Kingdom, and even the immortals themselves were involved in these activities.

With the help of the immortals, everyone in Aolai Kingdom can now have enough to eat and warm clothes to wear.

Tang Sanzang was greatly alarmed upon hearing this.

Don't underestimate the importance of having enough to eat and wear.

In this day and age, this is not an easy thing to do.

If one had to choose one country among the many in the world that could achieve this, it would be the Great Tang Dynasty in the East.

The country of Aolai before us, apart from having a much smaller land area than the Tang Dynasty, is in no way inferior to the Tang Dynasty in the East.

Tang Sanzang even pressed for details, asking how Aolai Kingdom managed to ensure everyone had enough to eat.

As a result, I learned from the old man that he used words like sweet potato, potato, and hybrid rice.

I heard that there are some agricultural students among the immortals. They are very enthusiastic about this field and also passionate about practice, which is why Aolai Kingdom exists today.

The old man didn't understand anything about agricultural students or experiments; he only knew that no matter what, he should thank the immortals.

"But I see many demons in your country. Aren't you afraid?"

Recalling what he had seen and heard before, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, the old man's face immediately fell, and he said in a displeased tone:
"Afraid? Why should we be afraid? The demons of our Aolai Kingdom are all immortals from Flower Fruit Mountain who have helped us a great deal. How can we be afraid?"

Tang Sanzang saw that the old man's expression had turned sour because of his words, and realized he had said something wrong, so he quickly explained:

"Old man, please don't misunderstand. This humble monk is simply used to seeing cruel and vicious demons, so I couldn't help but ask this question this time."

"I see." Upon hearing this, the old man's expression improved considerably. He said, "The demons outside are indeed all bad, but those of us from Aolai Kingdom are all immortals from Flower Fruit Mountain. We cannot generalize."

"For the safety of our Aolai Kingdom, the immortals even frequently go to hunt down monsters that appear around Flower Fruit Mountain. I dare say, there are no demons within a thousand miles of Flower Fruit Mountain."

The old man was filled with pride and satisfaction. Although he didn't know where the Tang Dynasty was, he believed that even the Tang Dynasty mentioned by the monk couldn't have done this.

But in fact.

There are no demons near Huaguo Mountain.

That was entirely the result of players wanting to team up to grind monsters and level up; Huaguo Mountain was their main base, and Aolai Country was their starting village.

The monsters in the surrounding area were naturally wiped out again and again, and there weren't even enough to go around.

So they gradually drifted away.

But these so-called normal player behaviors are seen by the NPCs of Aolai Kingdom as protecting Aolai Kingdom and protecting them from demons.

Tang Sanzang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the old man's expression soften.

Just as he was about to continue talking to the old man.

"boom--!!!"

Suddenly, a huge explosion interrupted him.

Tang Sanzang was startled. Looking at the sparks flying and the mushroom cloud rising in the distance, his face turned pale: "What... what happened? Has a demon attacked?"

The old man merely glanced at it and calmly said, "Ah, this must be some immortal failing at something again, hence the commotion."

"W-what?" Tang Sanzang asked incredulously.

"Don't worry about it. That place is the exclusive territory of the immortals. There are no mortals there, so nothing will happen." The old man shook his head and explained to Tang Sanzang. He was already used to such things.

These are casual gamers, especially those with higher education levels.

Unlike ordinary players, he likes to do all sorts of random things in the game.

Come on, being able to lead industrial development in ancient times and put your knowledge to use would be incredibly interesting, wouldn't it? And if you actually succeeded, that would be super cool!

While success is certainly not easy, many viewers really enjoy watching players in the live streaming arena.

"Alright, I have things to do, so I won't talk to you anymore," the old man said to Tang Sanzang after turning his gaze away.

After saying that, he left and continued with his work.

Tang Sanzang quickly bowed.

For the next three days, Tang Sanzang stayed in Aolai Kingdom, constantly visiting and learning about it, becoming increasingly awestruck. Could this be the legendary paradise on earth? Tang Sanzang truly felt that Flower Fruit Mountain embodied the image of a paradise on earth that people often spoke of.

Not only that.

Tang Sanzang also saw that in the homes of many people in Aolai Kingdom, there was a golden statue of a monkey.

Even though he had never seen Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang could guess who the people were worshipping.

"Amitabha."

In the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's palace, Tang Sanzang bowed in Buddhist homage to the golden statue of the Monkey King, uttered a Buddhist chant, and silently thought to himself:

"This Monkey King is loved by so many people, which shows his wisdom. Not to mention his great supernatural powers and extraordinary strength. I must ask him to escort me on my journey to the west."

After visiting Aolai Kingdom, Tang Sanzang realized that he might have misunderstood the Monkey King and Flower Fruit Mountain.

Consequently, his impression of the terrifying beings on Flower Fruit Mountain has also improved.

There was no other way; the example of Aolai Kingdom was right before their eyes.

What an honor it is to travel west with such a wise and virtuous being!

Tang Sanzang was even somewhat impatient to meet the Monkey King.

So, three days later.

After enduring countless hardships, Tang Sanzang climbed Flower Fruit Mountain once again, panting heavily.

"I'm sorry, Elder Tang, my junior brother hasn't returned yet," Qiao Liang said immediately upon seeing Tang Sanzang.

"I understand. In that case, I will come to visit again in three days." Tang Sanzang was not disappointed when he heard Qiao Liang's words. He simply bowed and went down the mountain again without lingering.

Qiao Liang was somewhat surprised, noticing that Tang Sanzang's visit this time was different from his first.

Just as Tang Sanzang was descending the mountain...

He encountered the same group of monsters who had blocked his path before.

Although the Flood Dragon King was no longer present, the one in charge was still the same wolf demon from before.

"Monk! Didn't I warn you not to come to Flower Fruit Mountain again?! Did you ignore my words?!" The wolf demon blocked Tang Sanzang's way and roared fiercely.

Upon seeing this, Tang Sanzang bowed respectfully and said earnestly, "Esteemed immortals, this humble monk is going to the Western Paradise only to obtain the true scriptures and save all sentient beings. Only the Great Sage can lend this humble monk a helping hand."

"Saving all living beings? You?" Upon hearing this, the wolf demon and the demons around him burst into laughter, mocking, "It sounds grand and noble, but let's not even talk about whether you can actually do it. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Tang Sanzang straightened his back, his eyes resolute: "Even if there are countless difficulties and dangers ahead, this humble monk will never retreat a single step!"

Wolf Demon: "..."

The wolf demon was speechless upon hearing this.

Although Tang Sanzang's words were very powerful and admirable, the wolf demon just seemed awkward no matter how you looked at it.

They think he can't kill anyone, right?
But in reality, he couldn't actually kill Tang Sanzang.

"Damn it, what are you pretending for! Attack him!" the wolf demon roared.

However, although we can't kill Tang Sanzang, giving this guy a good beating is no problem at all.

The wolf demon's forehead veins bulged, and he immediately ordered his men to attack Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang's face turned pale upon seeing this.

Just as the demons were about to beat Tang Sanzang up, the cassock on Tang Sanzang's body emitted endless Buddhist light, directly blocking the demons from entering.

The wolf demon was stunned by this scene, almost forgetting that Tang Sanzang's cassock was an extraordinary Buddhist treasure.

Especially now that Tang Sanzang is in a place like Flower Fruit Mountain, it would be strange if the Buddhist community didn't pay close attention.

After the Buddha's light blocked the demons, Tang Sanzang scrambled down the mountain at top speed.

Despite what had happened, Tang Sanzang's determination to return to Flower Fruit Mountain three days later to ask Sun Wukong for help remained unchanged.

Qiao Liang watched this scene from high above and couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems the plan has failed. Tang Sanzang will not give up on his pilgrimage."

Xiao Huohuo stood next to Qiao Liang and teased him.

"It seems so."

Qiao Liang smiled slightly.

"What should we say? Should we notify the Great Sage to come back? Shouldn't we be setting off by the time we come again next time?"

Xiao Huohuo asked.

"No need. We can see Tang Sanzang whenever the Great Sage returns. Why bother to notify him?"

Qiao Liang shook his head.

Xiao Huohuo was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

But thinking about it carefully, it does make sense!
After the matter was already settled.

The two didn't pay much attention and started the event dungeon again.

"Amitabha."

Not far from the two, Guanyin Bodhisattva also saw this scene and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, it disappeared from the spot.

……

Time goes back to a while ago.

After leaving Tang Sanzang and the Jinghe Dragon King, Lin Xiao naturally came to Chen Guoguo.

Having finally arrived at Flower Fruit Mountain, how could she not go and see Chen Guoguo?
"Wow, so ugly. No wonder it's a character I abandoned."

The moment Lin Xiao saw Chen Guoguo, he couldn't help but criticize her appearance.

"You still dare to talk? Isn't it all because of you?" Chen Guoguo said speechlessly.

She was referring to Lin Xiao's insistence on choosing a male character and then her choice of the monster faction.

The viewers in their live stream burst into laughter, joking that since Chen Guoguo was so ugly, Lin Xiao wouldn't have to worry about her going out and having affairs.

Everyone still thinks Chen Guoguo is a man.

Lin Xiao was speechless.

You underestimated Guoguo, didn't you? Even if she's ugly, she still flirts with other women, okay?

Lin Xiao asked curiously, "But didn't they say you could transform into human form after reaching the maximum level? Why didn't you transform?"

Chen Guoguo rolled her eyes at Lin Xiao, which was also because of Lin Xiao.

She's a woman, so why does she have to transform into a man? If she has to transform into a man, it's better for her to be like this.

Chen Guoguo gritted her teeth and secretly sent a message to Lin Xiao, without telling the viewers in the live stream.

[Chen Guoguo: Please help me! I'm meeting "Lin" tomorrow, and he doesn't know I'm a girl yet. What should I do?!]

Lin Xiao blinked after seeing the message and replied.

[Lin Xiao: We'll deal with whatever comes our way; we'll worry about tomorrow tomorrow!]
