38 -38: So the Macaque Knows to Return

“Benefactor, what more do you intend to do?”

The monk was already somewhat frustrated.

Was it just a Demon-Subduing Pestle?

Was such caution really necessary?

Sun Wukong did not respond to the monk, but simply waved his hand.

A wave of water vapor gathered and then condensed into a mirror around them.

The reflections and voices of the two men seemed to fall into it at that moment.

“What is the meaning of this, Benefactor?”

The monk could not help but frown as he spoke.

“Little Monk, it is always better to be cautious in dealings and actions.

If Old Sun gives you the object, but the person who sent Old Sun does not trust it, what then?

Better to be more secure!”

Sun Wukong pursued an impeccable approach, without admitting anything.

The monk could not help but smile wryly.

“Come now, Little Monk, state your identity clearly so that Old Sun can record it!”

Even after the Little Monk had taken the oath of The Great Dao, Sun Wukong still trusted him.

What remained was to report back to Patriarch Bodhi.

“Did I not already tell you?”

The monk was both amused and agitated, having never expected the monkey to be so cautious.

“You told Old Sun, but Old Sun still needs to explain to others.

If you, Little Monk, do not want this Demon-Subduing Pestle, then Old Sun will personally deliver it inside the Great Thunderclap Monastery!”

Sun Wukong had no time to waste with this Little Monk.

Unless the monk was willing to do as he said, Sun Wukong would not easily trust him.

“To personally deliver it to the Great Thunderclap Monastery!”

Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the monk’s mouth twitched.

Considering he was entrusted by the Saint, he naturally could not let Sun Wukong enter the Great Thunderclap Monastery.

He had no choice but to do as Sun Wukong said.

After repeating everything, he looked at Sun Wukong and asked, “Benefactor, is this satisfactory now?”

“Good, very good!”

Seeing the monk comply, Sun Wukong nodded slightly, satisfied.

After glancing at the Demon-Subduing Pestle in his hand, he handed it to the monk.

Just as the monk took it, Sun Wukong did not forget to give a reminder.

“Little Monk, now that you’ve made your oath under The Great Dao and your essence has been recorded by the Water Reflection Mirror, should any issues arise with this Demon-Subduing Pestle, Old Sun will not let you off!”

“The monk understands!”

The monk took the Demon-Subduing Pestle from Sun Wukong’s hand.

This was never going to end.

If it were not for Saint Zhunti instructing him to do this, he would have turned hostile long ago.

It was just a Demon-Subduing Pestle, after all.

What was the big deal?

Even if it was lost, how bad could it be?

It was not an Innate Spiritual Treasure, after all.

However, Sun Wukong naturally did not know of the monk’s internal frustration and left with a cheerful smile.

After Sun Wukong disappeared into the horizon, the monk’s body flashed and transformed into the visage of the Golden-Winged Roc King.

“This impudent monkey, constantly calling me ‘Little Monk’, is simply detestable!”

“If it were not for the Saint, I would have swallowed him whole long ago!”

The Golden-Winged Roc King said indignantly.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong was riding the clouds towards Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave.

Reflecting on the events that had transpired, he felt quite rewarded.

“Had it not been for my brother constantly instructing me to proceed with caution, there might truly have been trouble this time.”

“Whether it was that miscellaneous-fur assailant or that little monk who attacked Old Sun, I couldn’t see through either of their cultivation levels.

Just now having left the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, I’ve already encountered such terrifying beings.

It seems that, no matter what, I must not easily leave the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave again.

Only by possessing the ability to protect myself can I safeguard my macaque descendants!”

As the Sacred Platform of Mount Fangcun loomed ever closer, Sun Wukong made a decision.

I am really not strong at the moment, it would be better to cultivate for a few more years.

With Sun Wukong’s return, he was utterly pleased, for he had managed everything without a slip.

However, Patriarch Bodhi in Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave couldn’t help but feel a headache starting.

The Demon-Subduing Pestle had already been sent to the Western Great Thunderclap Monastery.

So, what about the scheme against Sun Wukong this time?

Had they failed again?

Unexpectedly, not only had his own scheme against Sun Wukong failed, but even Saint Zhunti’s plan had allowed the monkey to come through unscathed.

Could it be that the Calamity of Measurement in the Journey to the West really wouldn’t commence?

Just when Patriarch Bodhi didn’t know what to do next.

A wave of Buddha’s light and spiritual energy spread forth, and at the same time, countless Buddhas’ light appeared in the void, a figure emerged in the meditation room.

It was Zhunti.

At this moment, Zhunti held a Demon-Subduing Pestle in his hand, clearly, the one Sun Wukong had sent to the Western Great Thunderclap Monastery had once again returned to his possession.

“Fellow Daoist!”

Seeing Zhunti descend, Patriarch Bodhi bowed slightly.

“You and I are one and the same, no need for such courtesies!”

Just then, Zhunti’s lips moved slightly, but no words were heard.

After hearing Zhunti’s words, Patriarch Bodhi was taken aback, then slightly frowned.

“Fellow Daoist, is this indeed your decision?”

“It can only be this way!”

Zhunti sighed softly and followed up, “This macaque is far too cunning, and now the Journey to the West is imminent.

We must make decisions early!”

Hearing Zhunti’s words, Patriarch Bodhi nodded, knowing it had to be this way.

Without the Calamity of Measurement, how could the Western Buddhist Sect thrive?

“If that is the case, then I, as a poor Daoist, shall do as Fellow Daoist has said, though it is indeed hard on the Golden-Winged Roc King!”

“It matters not, the Golden-Winged Roc King was meant to descend to the mortal realm to face trials, and even if he made a vow to the Great Dao, it’s not much!” freewebnøvel.com

“After the Journey to the West reaches completion, we shall naturally reward him!”

Zhunti spoke nonchalantly.

“The matters to come will trouble you, Fellow Daoist!”

Zhunti spoke no more, his form eased, Buddha’s light dissipated, and he vanished from the meditation room.

As if he had never been there at all.

Patriarch Bodhi watched this scene, his expression unchanged.

With the Power of a Saint, dealing with a monkey wouldn’t be difficult, the issue is whether a Saint is willing to lower themselves to deal with a monkey.

At the same time, a strong presence already descended, it was Sun Wukong.

“Back already!”

Patriarch Bodhi stepped out of the room’s door.

As Sun Wukong landed, he hadn’t even started looking for Patriarch Bodhi before Patriarch Bodhi came out to greet him.

Seeing Patriarch Bodhi, Sun Wukong scratched his ears and cheeks for a bit then quickly bowed.

“Disciple Wukong, greeting Honorable Master!”

His tasks were done so perfectly, he surely could obtain some benefits from his master!

Thinking this, a smile appeared on Sun Wukong’s face, and just as he was about to ask for his reward, Patriarch Bodhi’s expression suddenly turned cold.

“You impudent monkey, you actually know to return?

Do you realize the great mistake you’ve committed?”
