Chapter 192: You’re Trying to Disgust Me, Aren’t You (3)
It was not much because he gradually saw the truth of the matter.
Learning scriptures was actually a game. The reason why this play was put on was to show the value of scriptures, to let all beings think that scriptures could not be taken for granted, that was why people paid attention to the scriptures they took.
This was a large-scale publicity event.
If it was really the scriptures themselves, any deity or Buddha could have delivered the scriptures in a day.
However, the four of them had been forced to leave for more than ten years.
This was also a reflection of Buddhism’s self-esteem.
To put it bluntly, Tang Taizong had been kidnapped countless times.
Some said that they didn’t dare to make a move for fear of being killed by Sun Wukong.
However, there was no lack of those who should be killed. Those who shouldn’t have been killed didn’t die at all.
Of course, this was referring to their past deeds.
On the Journey to the West, whether or not a demon could live depended not on whether or not they had done evil, but whether or not they had a background.
It was said that Tang Taizong would live forever if he took a bite of his flesh. So what if he took a bite and ran away?
How could he keep going without worrying about the consequences?
No matter how bad it was, it was still good to drink some blood!
However, many demons wished that they could raise the monk until he was fat and juicy. They didn’t say anything to persuade him.
In the end, they were just playing along.
Whether the monk’s flesh could really live forever was still a question!
If it couldn’t, then who spread the rumor?
And for what?
The one who spread the rumor had to be someone from the Buddhist sect.
Otherwise, how would the others know if a monk like him could live forever?
There had to be an excuse to find trouble, right?
It seemed like there were so many difficulties, but if one counted carefully, there were not many true catastrophes.
So looking back, whether it was Tang Taizong being captured or Sun Wukong showing off his power, it did not matter.
In the end, there was a sense of calm.
However, looking at the excited Qin Jun in front of him, Lu Ping didn’t continue with the rest of the story.
He only stopped at Tathagata coming out to help the Jade Emperor.
He also didn’t mention that Sun Wukong was suppressed.
The story came to an abrupt end.
“That’s enough! Let’s go home. It’s getting late,” Lu Ping said to Qin Jun.
Qin Jun was a little unhappy. “I haven’t finished listening to the great battle between Tathagata and Sun Wukong!”
“There’s no great battle! Hurry up and go home!” Uncle Sun also began to chime in.
It didn’t matter if he didn’t listen to the rest of the story!
Seeing that the two adults were starting to chase him away, Qin Jun was helpless.
However, a few strands of yearning appeared in his heart.
Who wouldn’t want to be the Monkey King?
As Qin Jun left, Lu Ping looked at Uncle Sun and said with a smile, “Uncle Sun, are you also a fan of Sun Wukong?”
Uncle Sun was stunned and said, “I guess so.”
“I can tell from the questions you asked me.” Lu Ping smiled proudly and said, “However, this is just a myth. We don’t have to be too conflicted.”
As he spoke, Lu Ping smiled and said, “Let me tell you another story. Have you heard of Fairy Zixia?”
Uncle Sun was confused.
An hour passed.
“Zixia died just like that?” Uncle Sun asked in disbelief.
“Yup, she died...”
“Bullsh*t! She died just because the Bull Demon King stabbed her with a fork?”
“Didn’t he become a mortal?”
“He won’t die even if he turns into a mortal! His soul can always be saved if it doesn’t disperse...” Lu Ping felt a little helpless. “This is just a story. It’s not that deep.”
“I don’t care! I can definitely save her! You brat, tell me again!”
Lu Ping was furious. “If you can’t save her, he’s dead! Do you know that she’s dead?”
Uncle Sun straightened his neck. “I refuse to accept it!”
“Even if you’re not convinced, she’s dead!”
“You little brat, you’re trying to disgust me on purpose, right?” Uncle Sun seemed to have understood something. He stared at Lu Ping with a fierce look.
Lu Ping was helpless.
“Do you need to be so immersed? The main character is Sun Wukong, not you! This is a sad and beautiful love story. Don’t you understand how sad and beautiful it is? It can’t be so perfect... Otherwise, it won’t have that flavor anymore.”
Uncle Sun gritted his teeth and said, “Hehe! I’ll give you five minutes. You better change the ending for me!”
“I won’t change it! I can’t change it!”
The two stubborn men stared at each other.
After a long while, Uncle Sun sighed and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
“It’s just a story. Why can’t it be perfect?”
Lu Ping smiled and said, “Hehe, then why don’t you say that Sun Wukong can be the Jade Emperor?”
Uncle Sun didn’t say anything more.
He just grabbed the beer and took another big gulp.
Lu Ping looked at the old monk robe on him and smiled, “You are an old monk, right? Is it okay to eat and drink like this?”
Uncle Sun rolled his eyes and said, “There are many monks who don’t abide by the rules.”
These words were true.
The Buddhist cultivators nowadays would also eat demonic beasts and use demonic cores to make medicine. After all, the main source of resources was demonic beasts and spirit herbs.
If they gave up on one of them, it would undoubtedly have a great impact on the cultivation of the cultivators.
Killing and fasting were basically no longer observed.
Finally, they were full.
Uncle Sun got up. This time, he didn’t give Lu Ping anything and left.
Lu Ping paid the bill and went home.
As soon as he entered, he saw Huang Xiaoqi sitting on the sofa watching TV.
“You went to drink?” Huang Xiaoqi asked with a smile.
Lu Ping nodded.
“Rest early!” Huang Xiaoqi exhorted and shouted, “Nanny Liu, make a cup of tea for Lu Ping!”
Lu Ping hurriedly waved his hand and said, “No need!”
But as soon as he said that, he saw Nanny Liu come out with the tea...
Lu Ping was too embarrassed to refuse. He picked up the cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
The rich spiritual essence exploded in his body, and the smell of alcohol on his body was instantly swept away. His mind became much clearer.
“Thank you, Supervisor Huang.” Lu Ping smiled.
“Call me Yiyi.” Huang Xiaoqi said, “We have known each other for so long. There’s no need to be so distant, right? At least we’re friends, right?”
