My wife is Invincible East

Well, this time, there might be some delay in the reaction. Zhu Moye smiled slightly. If that was the case, he naturally wouldn't mind at all. He was the emperor here, with unlimited power. It was indeed very easy for him to support a sect.

After the next imperial edict, Taoism had completely boarded the pirate ship of Zhu Moye. However, for them, it was also beneficial with no disadvantages. Being able to join Zhu Moye was something that countless small sects would be eager to do.

Even Buddhism is the same. Just look at Taoism, which has just clung to Zhu Moye's thigh and has developed so rapidly. It is obvious that something is wrong.

Buddhism alone has been developing continuously for hundreds of years to reach its current scale and foundation.

Taoism, already declining under the pressure of Buddhism, is now rapidly developing thanks to Zhu Moye's words. This momentum is truly frightening to Buddhism. Compared to other sects, the struggles between sects are actually more brutal. After all, the number of believers is there, and it continues to increase. This also means that when one sect grows stronger, another will inevitably face the decline.

If Buddhism could abandon the East and develop in other worlds, it would be more acceptable. But unfortunately, Buddhism cannot give up these things. They can only find ways to compete with Taoism for the remaining resources.

Unfortunately, due to the imperial decree that Zhu Moye had just issued, the other people of the Ming Dynasty gradually became hesitant after learning the news, because they did not know which side they should join at this time. If they had been on Zhu Moye's side, they would definitely have joined Taoism at this time, but there were also some people who had always been Buddhists, but suddenly defected from Buddhism to Taoism.

In such a state, such things have happened many times in a short period of time. This situation is enough to make people feel entangled. After all, no one had previously thought that such a situation would occur. Looking at the decreasing number of believers in front of them, Buddhism gradually felt this solemn atmosphere. It should be noted that in the past hundred years, due to its growing development, Buddhism has almost no rivals. Even Taoism, the only decent religion, was squeezed by their expansion and was on the verge of death. It seemed that it was only left with a lingering breath and was about to be expelled by them.

Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, Taoism ushered in a Jedi counterattack. Taoism was thriving, while Buddhism was facing the situation of its believers constantly dispersing.

Such a situation is really surprising. Buddhism now seems to be facing the biggest crisis, and what they are more concerned about now is how they should deal with such a crisis.

Zhu Moye didn't know that Buddhism was already in a state of panic at this time. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care much. What he was more curious about was what happened to Tang Monk on the other side.

It should be noted that under the previous circumstances, Zhu Moye had almost established an extremely good relationship with both Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, and, in comparison, the two of them undoubtedly trusted Zhu Moye much more.

No matter from which aspect, Sun Wukong's lawless nature is most suitable for Zhu Moye's appetite, so the two of them are the ones who can talk the most.

In comparison, it was too easy to win over Zhu Bajie. Using Zhu Moye's identity, he could just send out a few women from the demon or human race to seduce this fool, and he would immediately take the bait. Unlike others, Zhu Bajie was picky, but as long as they were gentle women, he would accept them all. So, Zhu Moye directly sent a few gentle women with average looks to this fool, and he obediently accepted them.

Zhu Moye was very particular about selecting his women. Most of these women had immediate relatives in the court. If he let them marry Zhu Bajie, it would be impossible for Zhu Bajie to disobey because these women's relatives were in the court. Women valued their relatives the most. In this situation, they naturally had to obey Zhu Moye's orders.

What's more, this is as it should be. Zhu Bajie has already become a member of Zhu Moye's side. Of course, most of the people in heaven don't know about his marriage and that Zhu Moye secretly subdued them.

During these days, Zhu Moye was quite relaxed, at least, that was how it looked in Di Ting's eyes. Now, it really couldn't imagine what Zhu Moye was doing secretly, and what was happening with the sectarian disputes between Buddhism and Taoism. Di Ting had never understood what was happening.

Chapter 696 The training has just begun

It was in this situation that Zhu Moye suddenly remembered that Tang Seng had walked to some unknown place at this time.

To be honest, Tang Seng's life was quite difficult at this time. After all, he left Chang'an alone, and then in half a month, after various long journeys, he finally reached the border of the Ming Dynasty.

This speed was actually the result of the covert assistance of others, but Tang Sanzang was unaware of it at the time. In fact, he couldn't possibly realize that there were others secretly helping him. Buddhism wouldn't have been able to intervene in such a situation. However, over the past few days, Tang Sanzang could sense that when he traveled through the Ming Dynasty, there were always all kinds of people coming to help. Although this situation was somewhat unfamiliar to Tang Sanzang, no matter what, with so many people helping him, it would have greatly increased his speed.

This has its pros and cons, as it shortened the journey that Tang Sanzang originally needed to take several months. If it were a Buddhist theory, it would emphasize that a person must honestly go through every hardship in order to redeem their mind and soul.

But unfortunately, for Zhu Moye, these things can be regarded as bullshit. Who wants to redeem their own heart and soul? The brainwashing of Buddhism may be effective for ordinary people, because ordinary people always lack a sustenance of faith in their hearts, so they are willing to listen to the brainwashing of Buddhism, and their willpower is not strong enough to resist.

However, by comparison, someone of Zhu Moye's caliber wouldn't be bewitched by such a thing. Under such circumstances, he would only grow increasingly disgusted with Buddhism. Zhu Moye simply ignored the religion's practice of forced recruitment—or rather, brainwashing—during this process. You talk about suffering, but unfortunately, for Zhu Moye right now, all he needed was to get Tang Sanzang to the Five Finger Mountain as quickly as possible. As for the rest, he simply took action himself and eliminated these people.

In the places where Tang Sanzang needed to pass, Zhu Moye's imperial edict had already made these local officials tremble with fear. They did not dare to provoke Tang Sanzang, who could talk to Zhu Moye. What's more, the imperial edict was directly issued from above. Such a big show was all for a monk in front of them.

It's no wonder these ministers were terrified. They had no idea what Zhu Moye was doing. They only knew that the emperor in front of them was planning a big move. As ministers, apart from submitting, they didn't have any extra thoughts to think about. But, in such a situation, they didn't need to say anything more.

And in such a situation, Chonglou felt a little entangled at this time. After all, even in this situation, he still felt a little entangled at this time.

Because he didn't know when it started, the figures in front of him had become fewer and fewer. After careful counting, he found that Tang Seng had already walked out of the border.

In this foreign land, Tang Sanzang began to encounter all kinds of bad luck. These things were indeed difficult for him to deal with, whether it was being captured by monsters or even having his cassock stolen.

Well, Zhu Moye didn't know what to do with the Bodhisattvas and others. They knew that Tang Sanzang was just an ordinary monk with no power, but they still wanted to give him some treasures. Zhu Moye could understand these things. After all, Tang Sanzang's previous life was Jin Chanzi. For a person like him, even giving him some treasures was conceivable.

However, in such a situation, giving a monk such a gorgeous cassock, isn't this really intended to attract hatred to Tang Seng?

Even the monsters who had no interest in Tang Sanzang's flesh would inevitably be interested in the beautiful cassock. In this case, even if Tang Sanzang wanted to escape, there would be no point. Zhu Moye had naturally anticipated this situation, but seeing Tang Sanzang suffer because of this cassock, he couldn't help but complain about the boredom of these Bodhisattvas.

Well, what made Zhu Moye a little stunned was that even though he had arrived here, Tang Seng still hadn't met Sun Wukong.

Fortunately, after being threatened by those monsters, Tang Seng still set off on his journey alone.

As for why he suddenly became a single person, the reason is a long story.

At this time, Tang Sanzang had just been captured by a monster. Although he escaped with the help of other gods, the horse and attendants assigned to him by Zhu Moye had been completely destroyed by the monster.

Such a situation is enough to make people feel a little guilty. After all, no matter what, they are people and horses who live together day and night.

As a result, he lost his life when encountering the monster, and it was even impossible for him to survive from then on.

Such a situation would naturally make people feel very sad, but at this time, Tang Seng's psychological quality was quite good. Even after experiencing such a thing, he could still barely remain calm, even when facing other monsters.

In this regard, Zhu Moye couldn't help but sigh. He really didn't know whether to say that the other party was gifted or what. Tang Seng was indeed not an ordinary person, as he had achieved so much in the journey to the West.

If it were someone else, faced with such difficulties, they would probably have chosen to run away alone, but he became more and more courageous.

Chapter 697: Tang Monk on Five Finger Mountain

However, in such a situation, when Zhu Moye looked at Tang Sanzang working so hard below, he didn't know why he actually wanted to applaud him. If it were any other situation, it would be fine, but in this situation, Tang Sanzang was able to show extraordinary courage.

This really touched Zhu Moye, and he also understood that Buddhism actually chose Jin Chanzi to come down to earth. This must have been carefully studied.

For example, if it were someone else, even if they could summon the wind and rain in heaven, that was because they already possessed magical powers. However, after arriving on earth, everyone was just an ordinary person. In such a situation, how to unleash extraordinary strength depended on the individual's mental strength, and among them, Tang Sanzang was undoubtedly the most outstanding.

In this situation, no matter what kind of difficulties Tang Seng encountered, he was still able to persevere. This alone should be considered a very difficult thing for ordinary people. I just don't know how Tang Seng did it at this time. If it were Zhu Moye, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to say that he could guarantee that he could do this.

To be honest, Zhu Moye felt a little sad for Tang Monk when he saw him struggling to overcome the 81 difficulties.

Originally, he was a great master in Chang'an, eating vegetarian food and chanting scriptures every day, which was a good life. However, now Tang Sanzang has to travel through mountains and rivers, and there are monsters who want to eat his flesh at any time. In this way, Zhu Moye feels that Tang Sanzang still has a very good quality, which is probably his character.

This person is really brave. No matter what the situation is, it is really not easy for such a person to be like this. Under such circumstances, it is really not easy for Tang Seng to maintain such a state at this time.

Zhu Moye also felt the same way. He didn't seem to feel much before, but in this situation, he felt deeply the difficulty of Tang Sanzang. Speaking of which, if it were an ordinary person, after being frightened so many times without knowing it, he really didn't know whether he would be scared crazy or something.

But only the Tang Monk in front of him could maintain his composure. Even in such a situation, he could still maintain his condition and keep moving forward.

During this journey, Tang Seng really experienced many changes. No matter how you look at it, his courage is much greater than that of ordinary people.

Zhu Moye showed considerable understanding of this point at this time. There was no other way. If it were an ordinary person, he would be scared so many times and have to walk in various strange places all day long.

Being captured by vicious monsters at any time, even the most timid person would be tempered with courage under such circumstances.

Zhu Moye has always shown considerable disdain for the fact that Tang Seng was very timid in the original novel, because he thought that under such circumstances, how could anyone be in such a situation at this time? No matter what, if they wanted to continue moving forward at this time, they must be in a somewhat different state.

Even Tang Monk should be much braver than ordinary people. This is one of the reasons that made Zhu Moye complain at this time.

Fortunately, while Zhu Moye was tracking Tang Seng, he had already walked to a place almost approaching the Five Finger Mountain.

Zhu Moye, who had been on a picnic all the way, was almost bored to death. Seeing that Tang Sanzang had finally arrived at this place after so much hardship, Zhu Moye did not delay any longer. In fact, he had already roughly said what he could say to Sun Wukong, and the next words were not Zhu Moye's business.

In fact, under the current circumstances, Zhu Moye has always been very clear that if it were Sun Wukong at this time, he would probably have realized what he wanted to do long ago.

Under the current circumstances, Zhu Moye was very sure of this point. No matter what, Sun Wukong would definitely make his own decision.

However, in such a situation, Zhu Moye unconsciously became a little bit expectant. What choice would Sun Wukong make at this time?

What he wants his life to be like probably depends on his own thoughts. If Sun Wukong still chooses to join Buddhism this time, although he may not think so.

However, when he chose Tang Monk as his disciple and was put under the golden hoop, Sun Wukong was no longer the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, but Sun Xingzhe.

Such a name was enough to make Zhu Moye give up on Sun Wukong. After being restrained, such a person should be in a semi-useless state.

At this time, Zhu Moye was quite clear about this, so he didn't expect what decision Sun Wukong would make at this time. He knew what Sun Wukong was thinking, so the only thing he had to do now was probably to continue waiting.

Looking at the Five Finger Mountain in front of him, Zhu Moye was looking forward to the moment when Tang Seng climbed up and uncovered the talisman on it, and the mountain would shake violently.

As if to comply with Zhu Moye's idea, Tang Seng stumbled and looked at the Five Finger Mountain in front of him. He had finally arrived here, and it was only because of the guidance of an old woman that he had gone through a lot of hardships.

Chapter 698: Breaking the Talisman

Therefore, Zhu Moye at that time was really sympathetic to Tang Sanzang. Generally speaking, Jin Chanzi's will can be said to be very firm. Otherwise, there would be no way to choose him from among so many Buddhas to carry out such a mission. This in itself is a very difficult thing to estimate.

This also shows the Buddha's confidence in Jin Chanzi. He probably believes that the loyalty of his believers is absolutely unquestionable.

Zhu Moye naturally had no good intentions. Even though he watched Tang Sanzang suffer torture every day, he had no intention of intervening. Before, when he was in the Ming Dynasty, it was just a piece of cake for Zhu Moye. Moreover, he also hoped that Tang Sanzang could reach the Five Finger Mountain as soon as possible.

So as soon as the imperial edict was issued, it was like opening a door of convenience for Tang Seng, allowing him to speed up rapidly.

But after leaving the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Moye was too lazy to care about it. After all, he knew clearly that Tang Seng would not be really eaten by those monsters.

Regardless, under the current circumstances, Tang Sanzang still had Guanyin Bodhisattva watching over him. If he were to be eaten by the monster, Zhu Moye wouldn't suffer any loss. So be it. However, the current situation seemed to indicate that everything was proceeding smoothly, just as expected.

At this time, even if Tang Seng wanted to move forward, it might not be so smooth, because at this time, a huge mountain stood in front of him.

Looking back, Tang Seng always felt that the road was very difficult to travel. No matter what, those monsters and demons were probably something that ordinary people would never see once in their lifetime. But for some reason, when he came here, he could encounter them almost every day, and they were never the same.

Even if some of them are little monsters, on the journey to obtain scriptures, Tang Seng at this time is obviously just a young apprentice. He simply cannot do it in the current situation.

Therefore, even though he was frightened all the way, there was nothing else to say. Under the current circumstances, Tang Seng felt inexplicably conflicted. He was frightened all the way, but his courage didn't seem to increase much.

After hearing what the old woman said, although Tang Seng tried his best to think about whether he should stay away from the Five Finger Mountain, she didn't sound like a good person at all.

Unfortunately, when Tang Seng just came up with this idea, the Five Finger Mountain had already appeared in front of him. This strange place seemed to have heard Tang Seng's thoughts and came to appear in front of him specially.

This situation made Tang Seng feel a little conflicted. He had never thought that such a thing would happen before, but facing the Five Finger Mountain in front of him.

Tang Sanzang hesitantly stepped forward, and as expected, he saw a monkey with a thunder mouth. Moreover, the monkey could speak human language, which frightened Tang Sanzang quite a bit. Fortunately, his courage may not have changed much in the past few days, but his ability to accept things has improved a lot, which was probably forced out of him.

Under such circumstances, Tang Seng still felt it was quite difficult at this time, especially under such circumstances, at this time he felt a bit tangled. He didn't know why, but the look in Sun Wukong's eyes when he looked at him always made Tang Seng feel like he would be caught and killed by Sun Wukong at any time.

This was probably because Sun Wukong himself was not a kind person, so his eyes naturally held some malice. People like Tang Sanzang were always particularly sensitive to this kind of feeling, so in this situation, he could clearly understand that in this situation, facing Sun Wukong in front of him should not be too much of a problem.

Although these were still too much of a stretch for Tang Seng at the moment, it didn't matter. Since Sun Wukong had said that he had to go up there to remove the talisman before he could be released, Tang Seng was skeptical in his heart. But now think about it, he had seen Guanyin Bodhisattva in person, so what else could he not believe?

After thinking about this, no matter how much Tang Seng didn't believe these things in his heart, he had to go forward and give it a try. However, it didn't matter if he gave it a try at this time.

The talisman was immediately revealed by Tang Seng's hands.

This also made Zhu Moye marvel. At that time, he used various methods and asked Di Ting, but there was no way to get rid of the talisman.

Later, it was discovered that this talisman was actually created by the Tathagata Buddha's own divine consciousness. Under such circumstances, what he wanted to do at this time was simply beyond the imagination of a small monk like Tang Sanzang. However, the Tathagata Buddha could arrange it, so Tang Sanzang happened to arrive here one day almost five hundred years later and happened to see Sun Wukong.

In fact, this is all because Guanyin Bodhisattva has been following Tang Seng in secret. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Tang Seng to have any connection with Sun Wukong just by relying on him.

These two people are not from the same world at all. Tang Seng climbed up the Five Finger Mountain with great difficulty. No matter what, since he had already promised Sun Wukong, he had to find a way to test whether the talisman could only be picked up by him.

Although he said so, Tang Seng actually still had some doubts in his heart at this time, because he was not sure whether Sun Wukong was lying to him under the current circumstances.

Chapter 699: Monkey Head Comes Out of the Mountain

To be honest, it's not really Tang Sanzang's fault for not trusting Sun Wukong. In fact, it's because Sun Wukong's appearance looks too intimidating. I don't know when it started, but Sun Wukong probably hasn't taken good care of himself since he was born.

Of course, as a monkey born from a crack in a rock, he didn't really need to take care of himself. Although Sun Wukong later became a disciple and learned martial arts, and his aesthetic sense matured somewhat, in this superfluous world, he still prioritized comfort above all else. This is what most people should do: no matter how fancy your clothes are, if you're uncomfortable, you can't help but take them off when you get home.

However, in the beginning, when Sun Wukong established his own mountain and called himself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, he was also quite powerful.

Regardless, the fully armed Monkey King back then looked incredibly majestic. However, now, having been held captive beneath Five Finger Mountain for at least five hundred years, Sun Wukong couldn't possibly hold even a fraction of his former glory. He looked miserable, like a beggar in distress, were it not for his ability to speak, and his speech being somewhat coherent.

In addition, he had met an old woman before who said some weird words to Tang Seng, forcing him to come and help.

With Tang Sanzang's courage, he would have probably run as far away from the monkey as possible when he first encountered it. Otherwise, he would have left long ago under the previous circumstances. However, in this situation, he had no other thoughts.

Since Sun Wukong had already said that, Tang Seng had nothing to say. He just had to reveal a talisman. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem to be a difficult task. Even if it was just a favor, what would it matter?

That’s what Tang Seng was thinking, so he simply climbed up the mountain. At the beginning, the Five Finger Mountain should have been bare with no vegetation.

But the most shocking thing in this world is the power of time.

The world has changed dramatically. The once bare Five Finger Mountain is now covered with lush vegetation.

When Tang Monk was walking there, he could even hear a few sporadic bird calls, which seemed to indicate that there were animals living there.

"Has this place really existed for five hundred years? Was that monkey really trapped under here for five hundred years?" To be honest, at the beginning, Tang Seng was still muttering and didn't really believe what Sun Wukong said. For him, did he believe in the existence of Buddha?

Not necessarily. This is just a matter of faith. Although we cannot not believe it, it is obviously not very practical to really believe in the existence of Buddha.

They are all mortals, where do so many faith bonuses come from? However, after seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva in Longxing Temple, Tang Seng's attitude immediately changed by more than 180 degrees.

How should I put it? Guanyin Bodhisattva really exists in this world. In this way, the Buddha also really exists. This made Tang Seng's faith even more firm and pious. For people with such firm faith, no matter what they do, it seems to be a bonus.

I'm afraid that even Guanyin Bodhisattva herself did not expect this. It was purely a pleasant surprise. Under such circumstances, it makes people feel a little conflicted.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Tang Seng was still climbing up tremblingly. At the beginning, he still felt that this place was not easy to climb, but now it seems that it is not as difficult as he imagined.

At the very least, if you work hard, you can still climb up quickly.

There is a lot of vegetation here, and the deeper he goes inside, the more Tang Seng can feel an inexplicable mysterious force pulling him.

In fact, the further he went inside, the more Tang Seng could hear monks chanting, "Buddha have mercy on me." This kind of mysterious situation is something that only a mortal like Tang Seng, who has no supernatural powers, can experience, let alone others.

I was immediately brainwashed by this strange phenomenon. I felt that the monkey really didn't look like a liar, and the talisman above it really had a close connection with the Buddha.

Although, Tang Seng had deep doubts about whether this man named Sun Wukong was really suppressed here by the Buddha himself.

However, no matter what, under the current circumstances, Tang Seng has already cheered up.
