Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!

Smack!

Another slap across the face!

The Six-Eared Macaque flew backwards again...

Tang Sanzang pursued again, "Is it or not?"

"Big brother, sir, you tell me, is it or not?" The Six-Eared Macaque really didn't know how to respond.

Tang Sanzang lifted his kasaya, revealing his muscular arm, "I'm asking you, and you're asking me? Asking for a beating!"

Smack!

The Six-Eared Macaque continued to fly horizontally in reverse.

Tang Sanzang pursued once more, and this time the Six-Eared Macaque pointed at Sun Wukong decisively, "He is Sun Wukong, not me, I am the Six-Eared Macaque! I'm an imposter!"

Hearing this, Tang Sanzang's figure paused, and he also stopped the Six-Eared Macaque.

The Six-Eared Macaque finally didn't have to continue being hit and quickly pointed at Sun Wukong, "He is the real Sun Wukong, he is! I'm fake, I am the Six-Eared Macaque!"

However, what made the Six-Eared Macaque despair was that the real Sun Wukong scratched his head and spread his hands, "Sun Wukong, don't talk nonsense; I am actually the Six-Eared Macaque. Monk, he's deceiving you!"

The Six-Eared Macaque was dumbfounded, then screamed in grievance and anger, "Sun Wukong, can you freaking save some face?"

Sun Wukong spread his hands, "Monk, don't look at me, I'm not getting involved in your family affairs. You two continue..."

Tang Sanzang turned to look at the Six-Eared Macaque...

The Six-Eared Macaque hurriedly revealed his true form, pointing at his six ears, "Monk, you see, I really have six ears, I am the Six-Eared Macaque!"

Zhu Ganglie leaned over for a closer look and chuckled, "Big brother, everyone knows you can transform into 72 different forms; changing ears is nothing unusual."

"I…" The Six-Eared Macaque, furious, eyes rolling back, while that baldy slowly rolled up his sleeves and came walking over.

He felt his scalp tingle, his legs tremble, and an alarm bell rang in his heart!

A massive character for "danger" hung over his forehead...

"Big brother… Monk… Sir! I really am the Six-Eared Macaque..." cried the Six-Eared Macaque.

Then he saw Sun Wukong pointing at his own ears, "Monk, the Six-Eared Macaque, means six ears on one side; he has six combined on both sides, obviously fake. Look at mine, six on one side... hey, Sun Wukong, next time you transform, could you do your homework first?"

The Six-Eared Macaque roared, "Sun Wukong, I'll fight you to the death!"

With that, the Six-Eared Macaque charged at Sun Wukong.

But this time, Tang Sanzang didn't stop him... Discover stories at empire

Sun Wukong, seeing the Six-Eared Macaque charging at him, thought Tang Sanzang would stop him, but to his unexpected surprise, Tang Sanzang didn't intervene.

Having no choice, Sun Wukong had to pull out the Jingu Bang and started fighting with the Six-Eared Macaque.

The Six-Eared Macaque yelled, "You're using the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and still saying you're not Sun Wukong?"

Sun Wukong hummed, "When Da Yu controlled the waters, did he use just one Seas Calming Needle? What, only you, Sun Wukong, can have it, and I, the Six-Eared Macaque, can't? Enough talk, bring it on!"

Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque immediately turned into a whirlwind of action, battling fiercely in the air and on the ground...

Just then…

Clang!

The sound of a copper gong rang out, followed by that damned monk's voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, a brand-new show, 'Duel of the Two Monkeys'! Betting starts now! Bet on Sun Wukong and get even odds, bet on the Six-Eared Macaque and get double your stake back!"

"Those who don't gamble, give a donation!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque both tensed up, and couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn, you bald twit!"

However, neither dared to curse aloud, afraid that the monk might hear them and cook up a new act—stewing both monkeys!

The villagers below were also going crazy. Although the first act was a bit odd, they could accept it as they willingly paid money; but how did the act gradually turn sour? It shifted from performing to intimidation and threats!

One by one, they watched Sha Wujing approaching with a big sack to collect money. Everyone looked at the two figures fighting fiercely in the sky and then at the disappearing village square, and then at that bald monk whose smile revealed a row of bright, cold-gleaming teeth...

The crowd, with tears in their eyes, threw everything valuable they had into the sack.

As Sha Wujing collected the money, he said, "Amitabha, donors are so generous."

The villagers were on the verge of tears. Was this generosity? Or was it that they dared not refuse?

Just four acts in, and their purses were already emptied!

If the performance continued, they might have to donate blood!

When Sha Wujing returned, Tang Sanzang looked at the sack full of copper coins and silver and marveled, "Did they give these willingly?"

Sha Wujing shook his head, "I don't know, but as soon as I brought the sack over, they just started throwing in whatever valuable things they had on them."

Tang Sanzang made a sound of realization, "The villagers in this village are really enthusiastic, really generous..."

Zhu Ganglie flattered, "It's mainly because our acts are good... By the way, Master, those two monkeys kept changing as they fought, I couldn't tell which was which at all, do you recognize who is who?"

Tang Sanzang looked up to see two monkeys exchanging blows relentlessly.

Tang Sanzang furrowed his brow and shook his head, "I can't tell."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the two monkeys lit up, and they separated, then landed on the ground, saying in unison, "High monk, I am the Six-Eared Macaque, he is your disciple! Quickly catch him and go to the West for the scriptures!"

Tang Sanzang looked at the two monkeys and also went cross-eyed for a moment; he genuinely couldn't tell which was the real Six-Eared Macaque.

Zhu Ganglie, Sha Wujing, and the Little White Dragon also wore faces of difficulty.

After all, should they ask questions only Sun Wukong would know?

The two could simply claim ignorance and bluff their way through.

Or ask questions only the Six-Eared Macaque would know?

But they didn't know either.

For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.

That's when Zhu Ganglie said, "I just remembered, Lord Ksitigarbha has a supernatural creature named Dhritarashtra! That creature can hear the past and future, and is best at distinguishing the real from the fake. Master, why don't you ask him, then you'd know who is real and who is fake?"

Tang Sanzang said, "But I don't know him."

Sha Wujing suggested, "Find Guanyin Bodhisattva, he interacted with our eldest brother the most back then, he must be able to recognize who's real!"

Tang Sanzang said, "Can't be bothered to move."

The Little White Dragon suggested, "Or maybe, ask Buddha or even the Jade Emperor to take a look?"

Tang Sanzang shot him a look, "I'm too lazy to even move to the Southern Seas, and you want me to go to Heaven or Mount Wutai? It seems I can't rely on you after all; I'll have to do it myself."

"Master, do you have a way to tell which one is the eldest brother?" Zhu Ganglie asked in surprise.

Tang Sanzang shook his head, "No way."

"Then you?" Zhu Ganglie asked, puzzled.
