Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

A sudden shout echoed across the sky, and immediately, a figure swiftly approached, landing directly in front of Jiang Liu and the others.

Looking at this figure, dressed in a grand red kasaya, surrounded by radiant Buddhist light, exuding a supreme yang aura, it's clear that this is a Buddha of the Buddhist sect.

Jiang Liu's gaze fell upon this Buddha, silently reciting a character panel, and opened to take a glance at the attribute panel.

Alright, this is indeed a Buddha of the Buddhist sect, reaching level 82.

Considered to have successfully entered the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

"Originally, I thought the White Mouse Demon had tied itself up to garner sympathy, but does it seem I misunderstood?"

Seeing that a Buddha has appeared here, and his words just now indicated that the White Mouse Demon was indeed tied up by him, Jiang Liu muttered to himself inwardly.

In the original story, it seems the White Mouse Demon tied itself up, gained sympathy, and followed the Journey to the West for Scriptures team all the way?

I recall when they rested at a temple, the White Mouse Demon ate a few monks there?

Later, Sun Wukong turned into a little monk to lure the White Mouse Demon out, thus exposing her disguise?

"Who are you? Master Xuanzang!?"

Not to mention Jiang Liu's thoughts, when this Buddha descended from the air, initially appearing aggressive, but upon scanning Jiang Liu and the others, he seemingly recognized their identities, his expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"Amitabha, disciple greets the Buddha!" Jiang Liu, outwardly humble and polite, uttered a Buddhist chant and respectfully greeted the Buddha.

"So it's Xuanzang here, this, this is truly a coincidence!" Looking at Jiang Liu, this Buddha reflexively stepped back half a step, then forced a smile and said.

Although Xuanzang now appears humble and polite, as a Buddha of the sect, he naturally understood this was only Xuanzang's facade.

As the center of the Immeasurable Kalpa, should he act decisively when it comes to killing, Xuanzang strikes harder than anyone.

Thus, even as a Buddha, facing Jiang Liu, this Buddha's heart felt somewhat uneasy.

"Yes, truly a coincidence, unexpectedly meeting the Buddha here!" Jiang Liu nodded, outwardly maintaining a harmlessly gentle appearance.

With that said, Xuanzang slightly paused and then asked, "May I ask Buddha, did this female demon commit any major wrongs for you to treat her this way?"

"This, hmm..." Hearing Jiang Liu's words, this Buddha hesitated.

For a moment, it seemed he didn't know how to appropriately respond.

This White Mouse Demon stole incense and treasures from the Great Thunder Monastery, logically meeting her, he should apprehend her.

But he had just tied her up and barely left when Xuanzang released her.

Could it be? Is there a significant relation between Xuanzang and this White Mouse Demon?

If that is truly the case, then the matter becomes problematic.

Probably, he should certainly relent.

Only uncertain about the relationship between Xuanzang and her, this Buddha indeed didn't know how to respond momentarily.

"As expected of Holy Monk Xuanzang, impressive indeed, this person is a Buddha of the Buddhist sect, yet seemingly afraid of him!"

The White Mouse Demon beside, watching this Buddha's return, instinctively shrank back, observing the dialogue between this Buddha and Jiang Liu, her talent for reading subtleties naturally understood that this Buddha had some fear of Jiang Liu.

This made the White Mouse Demon secretly marvel inwardly, admiring Master Xuanzang's impressiveness.

With a sensation of pride, like their idol proving to be truly remarkable.

Seeing this Buddha hesitating momentarily, unsure of how to respond, the White Mouse Demon's eyes subtly shifted, then she spoke up, "I am now Master Xuanzang's maiden, to accompany Master Xuanzang on the Journey to the West!"

"Ah!? She became Xuanzang's maiden!?"

Suddenly hearing White Mouse Demon's words, this Buddha's heart startled slightly, then furrowed his brows.

How can this be? Xuanzang heading on the Journey to the West for Scriptures, having traveled more than halfway, accepts a female demon as a maiden midway?

If this matter spreads widely, it will undoubtedly have considerable impact on the sect's reputation, right?

Opening his mouth, this Buddha intended to give counsel.

As a Buddha of the Buddhist sect, he felt obliged to remind him that this was wrong!

Yet, just when he started to speak, intending thoroughly to express these views, suddenly, this Buddha felt a chill rising from his soles.

What is he thinking? Running into Xuanzang's party and not hurrying away, but wanting to meddle in Xuanzang's affairs?

Why bother about someone accepting a maid?

Didn't Jiang Liu say anything when Jiang Liu was in a relationship with Gaoyang?

On the journey, drinking and feasting, Xuanzang's reputation as a gourmet spread across the three realms. Did the Buddha ever say anything?

Even the poker and mahjong he created became famous throughout the three realms. Did the Buddha say anything?

Even the Tathagata himself never said anything negative about Xuanzang, and now, just for taking in a maiden, should I intervene? Persuade him?

Am I tired of living?

If this makes Xuanzang unhappy, perhaps I won't leave here alive today?

On the surface, he seems humble and polite, but in reality, Xuanzang is someone who kills without hesitation, even killing Bodhisattvas without blinking.

Thinking of this, the Buddha felt a chill in his heart, realizing just how terrifying this Immeasurable Kalpa is.

If I'm not careful, will my own Spirit Platform be obscured, almost obliviously succumbing to a killing calamity?

"White Mouse Demon, stop your nonsense. When did I say I wanted to take you as a maiden?" Jiang Liu frowned slightly, scolding the White Mouse Demon in a low voice.

After scolding, Jiang Liu's gaze fell on the Buddha, explaining, "This is all the White Mouse Demon's rambling. Buddha, please don't take it seriously!"

"Amitabha, such trifles are unworthy of attention!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, the Buddha shook his head, indicating that the matter was unimportant.

In the Buddha's view, Jiang Liu probably got caught taking in a maiden, so he denied it immediately?

If that's the case, I should definitely act like I don't care.

Otherwise, if I cling to this, will it make Xuanzang want to silence me to keep it secret?

Although thinking this way seems a bit like nitpicking, given Xuanzang's group, being cautious even to the point of cowardice is perfectly reasonable.

"Buddha, about this matter..." Seeing the Buddha's expression, which seemed not to believe him, Jiang Liu wanted to clarify further.

However, the Buddha didn't give Jiang Liu the chance to continue explaining.

"Oh right, I have an important matter to attend to. Since this White Mouse Demon has fallen into your hands, Xuanzang, you can handle it as you see fit!"

After saying this, the Buddha didn't even say goodbye to Jiang Liu before leaving swiftly towards the horizon.

Soon, he became a black shadow in mid-air.

"Uh, this Buddha seems quite cowardly!" Watching the Buddha leave quickly and disappear, Jiang Liu was a bit stunned, muttering to himself, was it a delusion?

Shaking his head secretly, Jiang Liu understood that it wasn't a delusion!

It seems that in this world of mythology, although there are plenty of stubborn foolhardies, there are also many who are inherently cowardly.

For example, Ancestor Minghe is the most cowardly.

If put in a slightly overconfident way, Jiang Liu thought he could shout, "I, Jiang Liu, regard you as the most cowardly!?"

Shaking off these random thoughts, after all, for these immortals and Buddhas who live for thousands of years, if their nature isn't slightly cowardly,

who knows, one day might end up dead at someone else's hands?

Living long implies a greater probability of encountering accidents?

"Holy Monk..."

No matter how Jiang Liu felt, at this moment, the White Mouse Demon stared at Jiang Liu with eyes burning as if she were a fervent believer, saying, "Holy Monk, thank you for saving my life! Such a great kindness leaves me with no way to repay you, so I am willing to be your servant for life!"

"Please, Holy Monk, give me a chance!"

The words of the White Mouse Demon made Jiang Liu twitch at the corner of his mouth slightly.

Alright, this White Mouse Demon seems to be latching onto him, having scared away the Buddha who wanted to harm her by clinging to his name, she feels justified staying by his side to repay him.

"Ah, it's all the fault of my attractive face!"

Looking at the White Mouse Demon in front of him, and recalling the countless female demons and even fairies throwing themselves at him along the journey, Jiang Liu shook his head in resignation.

A heroic rescue typically evokes two kinds of responses from the rescued beauties!

If the hero is a handsome guy, then the response is, "Little girl is willing to marry to repay the hero for saving my life!"

But if the hero is a plain-looking guy,

perhaps the response is, "Such great kindness, willing to bind our destiny in the next life to repay the favor!"

At this moment, suddenly, the system notification sounded.
