Chapter 84 The Dumbfounded Old Monk

"Is it about me?" After hearing Ji Ming's words, the river demon fell into memory and said: "A few years ago, I was a talented scholar. My relatives and friends thought that I could succeed in the exam, so they made up money to let me enter." Beijing to catch the exam—that’s almost all their wealth, if I fail the exam, my parents and uncle will have to live on clear soup.”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding villagers of Hewan Village were all stunned.

Almost every village has folks trying to make money for scholars to take the exam. If it succeeds, it will bring prosperity to the whole village. If it fails, the whole village will suffer poverty.After all, the cost of studying in this period is too high. If a scholar wants to catch up with the exam, a CD-ROM can make several families drink northwest wind.

The river demon is also a scholar, but why did he become a man-eating monster?

"The day I came out of the examination room, I was very happy, because I answered all the examination questions fluently, and the title on the gold list was almost certain." Suddenly, the river demon showed a bitter expression, and said: "Because waiting for the list is boring, I came here to visit Hewan Village... At the beginning, a little girl named 'Changsheng' fell into the river, and I happened to know how to swim, so I jumped into the river and rescued her."

Speaking of this, the villagers of Hewan Village seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions changed instantly.

"Unexpectedly, after the little girl was rescued by me, not only did she not thank you, she even opened her mouth to bite me." He Yao said angrily: "Her parents just came at this time, and they didn't even let me say anything." With one sentence, I was knocked down to the ground. Then other people came to beat me, and they beat me to death indiscriminately, making all the thoughts of my parents and villagers come to naught!"

"I hate it. How can wicked people live in this world, while kind people have to suffer insults and injuries?"

"I want revenge, even if I become a monster, as long as I can make them get the punishment they deserve, I will not hesitate!" At this point, the river demon was hysterical.

"We did go too far." Seeing this, a villager in Hewan Village said shamefully: "Especially the Changsheng family, they didn't even give a chance to explain, they just said they were human traffickers, and even beat them to death and threw them into the prison. He Zhong... Even if it were us, we would have a lot of resentment!"

As for Chen Xuanzang, he seemed to have realized something, and murmured: "The law of heaven recurs, one cause repays one effect?"

"Bullshit, it's all bullshit. If there is really justice in this world, then why do I do good all my life, but suffer such evil results?" The river demon said, shedding tears of heartache.

Ji Ming saw him, looked at him and said, "Who told you that you won't have good results?"

"Could it still be there?" The river demon was taken aback.

Everyone is dead, and all the efforts of the fathers and villagers have been in vain. Even if there are good fruits in the future, what use will it be?

"If I tell you that you still have the good fruit, it is only because you become a monster that the good fruit no longer exists, do you believe it?" Ji Ming asked.The river demon was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said: "If that's the case, I would rather give up everything, and let the folks get my good fruits!"

"Amitabha." Chen Xuanzang chanted the Buddha's name for the first time.

"Very well, I will bless your parents right now, and please Your Majesty, let him exempt your village from taxes for ten years!" Ji Ming smiled slightly and said, "However, God will not allow me to bless the parents of a monster." , you need to sacrifice your own life to bring back all the villagers you killed, so that the good fruits will come to them.”

As soon as these words came out, the river demon suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"I am willing, as long as my parents can be safe, I am willing to give everything of myself!" Said the river demon.

"Okay, I have a 'Longevity Post' here, if you really repent, then open it!" Ji Ming said, and took out the Longevity Post.

"I am willing to give up myself and give up my life. Even if I fall into hell and never get out of life, even if my soul is scattered, I will have no complaints or regrets. I will also ask the gods to resurrect those who were killed by me and bless my parents!" Said the river demon, opened the door. Longevity post.

However, the dead did not come back to life because of this, but Ji Ming disappeared.

"Why?" The river demon wondered.

"If you are willing, it doesn't mean they can be resurrected. After all, you will have to pay for the sins you committed. You are the only one who has consummated the merits!" Following the sound, a guiding light shot down from the sky, attracting the river monster up .The next moment, the surrounding space was distorted, and a fat old monk suddenly jumped out, and said with a puzzled look: "There is no reason, why did the fate line of the river demon disappear?"

Everything in Journey to the West is arranged, even if this world is just a branch, everything is under the control of Buddhism.

However, just today, the river demon, one of the important figures, disappeared. How could the old monk not be puzzled?
"Master, the river demon has completed his merits and virtues, and his epiphany has soared." Chen Xuanzang said.

"Fart!" The old monk was furious, but immediately, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he clasped his hands together and said, "It's a sin, a sin, a monk can't speak wild words... My lord, Sha Wujing in this world has disappeared. Can you help me figure it out through cause and effect?"

As the old monk spoke, he summoned a Buddha projection that was almost exactly like him.

That Buddha is very famous, his name is Sakyamuni Tathagata, and people call him Tathagata Buddha!

It turned out that this fat old monk turned out to be the projection clone of Buddha Tathagata.

"The Dao is fifty, and the sky is 49. There is one who escapes, invisible, immeasurable." The Tathagata Buddha looked through the past and the present, and said neither happy nor sad: "I don't know where Sha Wujing went. And... the universe is immeasurably vast, and the flow of time is unpredictable, and the ancient Buddha who burned the lamp looked at the long river of time and space, and seemed to see something incredible."

After finishing speaking, the Tathagata's projection directly turned into a little bit of golden light and disappeared.

The fat old monk stared blankly, unable to speak for a long time.

"No, I will absolutely not allow anyone to disturb...my journey to the West!" Finally, the fat old monk yelled almost crazily.

At this moment, Chen Xuanzang suddenly felt that his master was so strange, so strange...

"Haha, I stole a Drifting Monk... By the way, Xiao Luo, they shouldn't be able to find us, right?" Ji Ming hid in the mountains, looking in the direction of Hewan Village.Regarding this, Xiaoluo smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the shield of Time and Space City is at the level of time and space, and all traces of cause and effect cannot track us. No one can find us unless they see it with their own eyes."

There may be no immortals in this world, but Buddhas do exist. Ji Ming cannot estimate how powerful they are.

To be on the safe side, he resolutely refused to meet anyone suspected of being Buddha.

"Master, there is good news." Suddenly, Xiaoluo said: "Because this place is related to the main world of Journey to the West, we fished out the original true spirit of Drifting Monk, and now it is not the river demon who entered the space-time city, but a Sha Wujing, the golden Arhat who has lost his cultivation!"

Ji Ming was taken aback for a moment, and said in astonishment, "What do you mean?"

"That is to say, the real Drifting Monk has become our person. If we enter the world of Journey to the West in the future, we can obtain part of the origin of the world without doing anything." Xiaoluo said.

"Uh, that's good!" Ji Ming was delighted, then frowned, and said worriedly: "Then the Buddha who traveled to the West will not chase after the City of Time and Space?"

The power of the Tathagata Buddha runs through endless worlds, and there are legends about him in all the heavens and planes.

Facing this terrifying existence, to be honest, it is impossible not to feel guilty.

"How is it possible, transcending time and space, do you think it's just talking?" Immediately, Xiao Luo smiled and said: "The existence of the 'City of Time and Space' cannot be peeked at, no matter in the 'past' or the 'future' , even now, it does not exist, there is no trace of it in time and space, and no one can perceive its existence except the residents of the city."

"Oh, that's good." Ji Ming was relieved.

"What shall we do next?" Xiao Luo asked.

"Go get a change technique. If there is no such thing as a disguise technique." Ji Ming thought for a while, and said with a smirk: "Reversing the plot requires multiple approaches. Next, we will be the old man under the moon once." !"
