Journey to the West: The gods and Buddhas panicked when the monkey was trapped inside him.

Sun Wukong rode his somersault cloud straight to Xiniu Hezhou.

High in the sky.

The Heavenly Court's 100,000-strong army followed closely behind.

At the front of the battle, the all-seeing eye was wide open, its eyes fixed on the fleeing figure ahead.

Shunfeng'er tilted his head, intently capturing the sound.

Li Jing looked at Qianliyan with a cold expression.

Where has that demon monkey escaped to?

The all-seeing eye immediately turned around and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Huitianwang!"

"The demon monkey fled westward at an undiminished speed."

"Judging from his route, he's heading straight for Xiniu Hezhou!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing let out a cold laugh.

"West Niu Hezhou?"

"He's panicked and acting recklessly."

"Xiniu Hezhou is a pure land for Buddhists. For him to go there is simply walking into a trap."

"Full speed ahead!"

"I'd like to see where he can run to!"

……

Xiniu Hezhou.

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

Sun Wukong descended from the clouds and landed steadily on the stone steps halfway up the mountain.

Stepping back onto this familiar land, Sun Wukong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Big brother, we've arrived!"

"This is Master's temple."

Following the route he remembered, Sun Wukong strode up the mountain.

He remembered clearly that if you followed the stone steps up and passed through a pine forest, you could see the entrance to the Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave.

however.

When Sun Wukong walked through the pine forest and looked up expectantly, he froze on the spot.

Ahead lay a desolate, steep cliff face, overgrown with weeds and moss.

There are no white jade pavilions, no fairy-like terraces, and no stone gate inscribed with "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave".

Everything is gone.

Unconvinced, Sun Wukong ran forward and reached out to touch the cliff face.

Cold and hard.

This is just an ordinary stone.

Sun Wukong was completely dumbfounded, and he shouted loudly in his mind.

"Brother, the cave is gone!"

"The Crescent Moon and Three Stars Cave has disappeared!"

"Could it be that Master has moved?"

In his sea of ​​consciousness, Li Chen's illusory image slowly emerged, his expression calm.

"Don't panic."

"How could someone as great as Patriarch Bodhi move house so casually?"

Sun Wukong pointed to the cliff face in front of him.

"So what's going on?"

"I've lived here for over twenty years, there's no way I could forget this place!"

Li Chen spoke calmly and directly revealed the truth.

"You've come to the right place, it's just that Patriarch Bodhi doesn't want to see you."

Sun Wukong was stunned.

"Master doesn't want to see me, Old Sun?"

Li Chen nodded.

"Don't forget, when you came down the mountain, the patriarch himself said that you had already completed your apprenticeship."

"Now that you have completed your apprenticeship, you are no longer a disciple of this school."

"He set up restrictions and hid his cave to tell you that he doesn't want to get involved in your karma."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong's brows furrowed tightly, his face filled with anxiety.

"What should we do then!"

"Li Jing, with 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, is right behind them and will arrive soon."

"If Master won't even see me, how can he help us intimidate the Heavenly Court?"

Li Chen chuckled softly, his tone brimming with certainty.

"Don't worry, the patriarch won't abandon you."

Sun Wukong was half-believing and half-doubting.

"Big brother, are you sure?"

"Master won't even open the door for me, Old Sun."

Li Chen analyzed patiently.

"He won't open the door because of the rules."

"You have already completed your apprenticeship. If he opens the door to see you, he will be willingly drawn into the vortex of the Journey to the West calamity."

"But his refusal to see you doesn't mean he doesn't acknowledge you as his disciple."

Li Chen gave a cold laugh.

Even if, hypothetically, he really doesn't want to care about you...

"Where am I?"

"This is Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the sacred site of Patriarch Bodhi!"

"At the level of a patriarch, the dough is more important than anything else!"

"If the people of Heaven and Buddhism dare to bring their armies and wage war on this Fangcun Mountain..."

"That would be disrespecting Bodhi Patriarch and ruining his reputation."

"The patriarch would never tolerate anyone acting recklessly on his territory."

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood Li Chen's meaning.

"Brother, I understand!"

"It's a rule of Master not to see me, Old Sun."

"But if the heavenly soldiers dare to make a move here, they will be disgracing Master!"

Sun Wukong chuckled and walked straight to the cliff face.

"Since that's the case, I, Old Sun, will just stay here and not leave!"

"If they're so capable, let them come and capture me, Old Sun, here on Fangcun Mountain!"

Sun Wukong lifted his robe and sat down cross-legged in the spot where the entrance to the Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave used to be.

He crossed his arms over his chest, leaned against the cliff face, and struck a pose of complete indifference.

"I, Old Sun, will be a doorman here today."

"I'd rather die than go out!"

In his mind's eye, Li Chen looked at Sun Wukong's shameless appearance and nodded in satisfaction.

now it's right.

Using someone else's name to intimidate others.

As long as one sits on this small mountain, the Heavenly Court's 100,000-strong army is just for show.

……

at the same time.

High in the sky, the Heavenly Army is advancing at full speed towards Xiniuhezhou.

The Thousand-Mile Eye kept its supernatural powers activated, keeping a close eye on Sun Wukong's figure.

Sudden.

The golden light in the clairvoyant's eyes suddenly twisted and then dissipated.

He cried out in pain, covered his eyes with his hands, and staggered.

Shunfeng'er, who was standing nearby, also suddenly covered his ears, and his face turned pale instantly.

Li Jing noticed the strange behavior between the two, frowned, and strode forward.

"What's going on!"

Qianliyan rubbed his sore eyes and looked up in terror.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

"That demonic monkey has vanished!"

Li Jing's face darkened, and he rebuked him sternly.

"Gone again?!"

"Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on him?!"

"How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly disappear!"

Thousand-Mile Eye hurriedly explained, his voice trembling.

"May the Heavenly King bear witness!"

"My subordinates have been keeping a close eye on him without the slightest slackening."

"I saw him enter a mountain with my own eyes."

"But……"

"But as soon as he entered the mountain, his subordinates' supernatural powers stopped working."

"You can't see anything in that mountain, it's all a blurry mess."

Even the one with the keen ear recovered and echoed in agreement.

"Your Majesty, so it is with me!"

"After the demon monkey entered the mountain, all the noise vanished without a trace."

"I can't hear a single sound, not even the wind or birdsong in the mountains!"

Li Jing frowned deeply after listening to their reports.

What does it mean to disappear without a trace after entering a mountain?

Li Jing stared at the clairvoyant.

"With your supernatural powers that can see through the three realms and discern all things, how could you possibly not see through a mountain!"

With a pained expression, Qianliyan bowed repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, I dare not lie."

"That mountain seems to be protected by an extremely powerful restriction."

"The moment my gaze touched the outer edge of that mountain, it was repelled by an invisible force."

"Even the all-hearing ear's hearing was blocked by that force."

Li Jing was startled.

The restriction is definitely not simple; it can directly block the supernatural powers of clairvoyance and clairaudience.

"A ban?"

Li Jing asked in a deep voice.

Do you know which famous mountain that is?

"Whose sacred site is this?"

The all-seeing eye and the all-hearing ear exchanged a glance and shook their heads simultaneously.

"Your Majesty, I am unaware."

The all-seeing eye answered truthfully.

"I have served in the Heavenly Court for many years, and I recognize all the famous mountains and rivers in the Three Realms."

"But the mountain below is unremarkable, with no trace of any celestial aura; I have never seen anything like it before."

Li Jing's expression became one of surprise and uncertainty.

An obscure, desolate mountain possesses a powerful restriction capable of shielding it from the Heavenly Court's detection.

The demonic monkey ran wildly towards this mountain, clearly having planned it all along.

Could there be some powerful figure hiding in these mountains?

"No matter which mountain he hides in, and no matter what restrictions are placed in that mountain."

"I'm going to find him today!"

Li Jing gave the order loudly.

"All troops, listen to my command!"

"Come with me to that mountain and investigate!"

"I'd like to see what other tricks this monkey can pull!"

One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, carrying a chilling aura, headed straight for Fangcun Mountain.
