Chapter 34 Helping the Monkey King Survive a Tribulation

After listening to Gu Ming's introduction, Sun Wukong thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to follow Gu Ming's advice and enter the inner world to completely eliminate the demons.

However, this is a very risky business.

If he fails, then his "self" will disappear and be replaced by another Monkey King, a Monkey King full of evil thoughts.

In this regard, Tang Seng was a little worried.

Gu Ming comforted: "It's okay, Wukong is no longer the same as before, he understands what he should do." Besides, I will also help him. ”

"Assistance?" Tang Seng was a little surprised: "You mean to say, enter his inner world?" ”

"No, if an outsider is allowed to enter his inner world, it is likely to cause some unforeseen consequences.

I mean, assisting him on the outside......"

Next, in this fake flower and fruit mountain, Gu Ming took out one hundred and eight chess pieces and spent two days carefully arranging a chess game.

This chess game was realized by him on his own, and it was a combination of thirty-six Tiangang and seventy-two earthly evils.

This game is varied, there is no fixed arrangement method, and there is no fixed name, the key depends on where it is used and what it is used for.

It can be a dilemma, it can be a killing game, it can be a puzzle, or it can even be a stealing day......

Gu Ming's intention in setting up this bureau is mainly to protect Sun Wukong.

Once it is found that something is wrong, for example, Sun Wukong has signs of falling into the devil, it means that the demon has the upper hand.

At this time, the bureau laid out has a place to use, one is to trap the demon Sun Wukong, so that it cannot escape, even if it can't be completely killed, at least it can be sealed.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario.

The main purpose is that Gu Ming can use this array to enter Sun Wukong's inner world.

Although there are some unforeseen consequences of doing so...... For example, even if he assisted Sun Wukong to destroy the demons in his heart, because of the addition of foreign aid, this left hidden dangers.

Sooner or later, the demons will come back to life.

But? Even if there is a hidden danger? It's better than Sun Wukong falling into the devil now.

As long as the current situation is under control, what will happen next? You can think of something else.

Wait until Gu Ming's arrangement is completed? Zhu Bajie looked around and couldn't help asking, "Shangxian?" In case of...... In case Brother Monkey doesn't control him, can we really capture him with this formation? ”

After all? Monkey King made trouble in the heavenly palace back then? has left a shadow in the hearts of too many people, and Zhu Bajie can't help but worry.

Gu Ming smiled and said, "Let's put it down, once this game is activated, let alone trapping a Wukong?" Even ten or eight can't escape. ”

Hear this? Zhu Bajie's heart moved, and he lowered his voice and said, "Then, can you trap the Buddha?" ”

"Ahem......" Gu Ming coughed dryly, raised his hand and pointed to the sky: "Bajie, be careful when you speak?" There are some things that you can't talk about. ”

Actually, it's not clear whether you can trap Rulai Gu Ming.

If you have to have an answer? The chance of being trapped may be extremely small, after all, his current realm is still a long way from Rulai.

But? If you go up one level, you will be promoted to the Grandmaster of Wendao...... It's hard to say how it turned out.

"Okay? My grandson is starting to settle now? Bajie, Senior Brother Sha? Take care of Master! ”

When everything was ready, Sun Wukong confessed to the two junior disciples, and then sat cross-legged and began to enter a state of meditation.

Tang Seng sat on one side and chanted silently, praying for the blessings and peace of his disciples.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng were on guard nearby......

In fact, there is no need to be vigilant at all, because the chess game played by Gu Ming has already blocked the outside world, and it is difficult for even Da Luo Jinxian to break in, let alone any demons and monsters.

However, the movement here had already attracted the attention of the Western Heavenly Buddha Realm and Heavenly Court.

After all, Sun Wukong is a key figure in learning scriptures from the West, and it is impossible for the gods to know about the fake Wukong.

It's just that this is a catastrophe in Sun Wukong's fate, and even a great god can't interfere at will.

Although Gu Ming's move is not meddler, it will also change some endings, so it will naturally attract the attention of many great gods.

Temple.

The Jade Emperor sat in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, and shouted with a majestic expression: "Clairvoyance, Shunfeng Ear, look at the situation below." ”

"Yes!"

Clairvoyance and Shunfeng responded and walked out of the main hall to observe the nether realm in the clouds.

After a while, I went back again.

"Jade Emperor, below...... It was a fog and it was impossible to see what was going on inside. ”

"My subordinates couldn't hear any movement."

"What?"

The gods in the main hall looked surprised and began to talk about each other.

"Can't see? Can't hear clearly? ”

Obviously, the Jade Emperor was also a little surprised.

You know, clairvoyance and Shunfeng Ear are professional, when Sun Wukong was born, the golden light went straight to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and as soon as Clairvoyance and Shunfeng Ear came out, they saw it clearly.

Why can't you see it all of a sudden?

"Too Platinum Star!"

"The minister is here!"

"Hurry down and see what's going on."

"Yes!"

Tai Bai Xing led the order.

As a result, Tai Bai Xing flew down and looked around only to know that someone had set up a large array in the "Huaguo Mountain", which cut off the connection between this space and heaven and earth.

After some exploration, Tai Bai Xing hurriedly returned to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to resume his life.

"Jade Emperor, someone in the Nether has laid out a strange formation......"

"Formation? What formation? ”

"This ...... The minister didn't know, it seemed to be a chess game, and the minister tried it, but he couldn't get in at all. ”

The Jade Emperor frowned: "Can't get in?" This...... Tang Seng and his apprentices don't know how to set up the formation at all, could it be that Gu Ming again? ”

"It should be him, he was with Tang Seng and his apprentices before."

"Then what did he mean by setting up this formation?"

"This ...... Maybe he wanted to help the monkey survive the disaster? ”

At the same time, the Western Heaven Buddha Realm.

Rulai summoned Guanyin and several disciples under the seat to also explore the matter.

Compared with Heavenly Court, Rulai and the others knew more about the situation of Tang Seng and his party, and they also paid more attention to it.

After all, the matter of learning scriptures is more beneficial to the Western Heaven Buddha Realm.

"Buddha, it seems that Gu Ming is helping Sun Wukong overcome the demon tribulation. He set up this game to prevent Sun Wukong from failing to cross the catastrophe and trap the demon barrier. ”

Hearing what Guanyin said, Rulai couldn't help frowning: "But in this way, won't it have an impact on the plan to learn from the scriptures?" ”

Guanyin pondered for a while and said, "Come to think of it, the impact won't be great." I believe that Sun Wukong should be able to survive this catastrophe, although this monkey is stubborn by nature, but this time on the way to learn the scriptures, the performance is acceptable.

I wanted to restrain him with a hoop spell before, but this monkey didn't wear a golden hoop, but he didn't do anything drastic.

Although this Heart Crossing Demon Tribulation is a difficult task, as long as it is a transition, it will also be of great benefit to him. ”

"The question is, what if he doesn't make it? Once you are enchanted, it is naturally impossible to learn from the scriptures. ”

"This ......" Guanyin subconsciously glanced at the Nether Realm and replied, "In my opinion, this Gu Ming should have made preparations with both hands.

The formation he laid out was very ingenious, with thousands of changes, and it was secretly in line with the number of heaven and earth.

I think that its role should not only be used to trap Goku who has entered the demons, but also to use the power of this array to enter Goku's inner world and help him destroy the demons in his heart......"

Hearing Guanyin's words, several disciples under the seat couldn't help but speak out one after another:

"However, the demons can only be solved by themselves, and it is impossible to really destroy the demons by pretending to do so."

"yes, maybe it will make the demons stronger......"

"It's just a palliative, not a cure......"

"Then would you like to see Sun Wukong fall into the devil, or do you want to survive the catastrophe temporarily?"

Guanyin asked lightly.

"This ...... Nature is the best to spend time. ”

"That's right, even if it's temporary, it's better than being completely demonic."

"But ......" one of the disciples couldn't help frowning and said, "This Gu Ming always meddles in the matter of learning scriptures, he must have another purpose, could it be that we just let him go?" ”

Guanyin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "His purpose is not to prevent the study of the scriptures, but to facilitate this along the way...... His real purpose was actually to build momentum for Confucianism. ”

"If His Holiness knows his purpose, why doesn't he stop it?"

Another disciple asked.

"Block? How easy is it to say? In the human world, Confucianism originated much earlier than Buddhism, and it also has a close connection with Taoism.

In the past, there was just a lack of a systematic cultivation method, but now, ...... I'm afraid it's already on fire......"

……

No matter what the gods in the sky said, Gu Ming still sat firmly on Mount Tai.

In the chess game, he set up a table, put some wine and food on the side, and had a few drinks if he had nothing to do.

Of course, the daily tasks of the system still have to be insisted on, after all, this is the motivation for upgrading.

In addition, there are also some networks from previous lives in the system mall, such as covering the sky, mortal cultivation of immortals, Zhu Xian, and so on.

Gu Ming has already begun to work on the adaptation, after all, the background of the times is different, and it is impossible to copy the original book, but it just adopts its framework, plot and other settings to process and originalize.

There must have been a reduction in the number of words, after all, as we all know, the Internet is like a sponge soaked in water, with millions or even tens of millions of words at every turn.

Therefore, Gu Ming is ready to control the number of words between one hundred and two million.

When the time comes, it cannot be published under his real name, but under a pseudonym.

Actually, there are a lot of traditional ones, which are enough for Gu Ming to write.

It's just that he wants to experience more styles of the heavenly worlds.

Before I knew it, three days passed.

"Oh no, Master, Master, is Brother Monkey enchanted?"

Zhu Bajie suddenly yelled.

Tang Seng hurriedly got up and took a look, indeed, Sun Wukong looked quite scary at this time...... His face was hideous, and his eyes turned blood-red, as if he had gone berserk.

"Don't touch him!" Gu Ming hurriedly walked over: "He is now at war with the inner demons, this is an intertwined process, and it is normal for such a phenomenon to occur."

If you disturb him now, it will easily cause his mind to be affected, and he will be taken advantage of by the demons in his heart. ”

"That'...... So what exactly can we do? ”

Although Zhu Bajie often fights with Sun Wukong on weekdays, the relationship between the brothers and sisters is actually quite deep, seeing that Brother Monkey is in a state of war between heaven and man, but he can't help, he is inevitably a little anxious.

"Wait and see, for now, Wukong is actually quite good, and it is only worrying if such a situation occurs on the first day of settlement.

It's the third day, and theoretically, Goku's heart has already prevailed.

The reason for this situation is nothing more than the demon in his heart that is dying and struggling. ”

"Amitabha, I hope Wukong can survive this hurdle smoothly."

Tang Seng couldn't help reciting a Buddha name.

"Elder Tang rest assured, there shouldn't be a big problem. For Goku, this is a disaster, but it is also an opportunity.

As long as he survives this tribulation, next, there will be almost no obstacles for him to enter the realm of Da Luo Jin Immortal. ”

Hearing Gu Ming's persuasion, the three masters and apprentices finally felt a little relieved.

In the next few days, Sun Wukong's state changed from time to time, like sea water, sometimes calm, sometimes turbulent.

It wasn't until the eighth day that the state finally calmed down, as if an old monk had settled down.

This state lasted for several more days, and finally opened his eyes at noon on this day......

"Goku!"

Tang Seng, who was sitting on the side, seemed to feel something, subconsciously glanced over, and found that Sun Wukong couldn't help but call out in surprise when he opened his eyes.

"Master!"

Sun Wukong jumped up and bowed to Tang Seng, looking very happy.

"Brother Monkey~"

"Big brother!"

Zhu Bajie also ran over happily.

"Idiot, Senior Brother Sha......"

Sun Wukong greeted the two junior brothers happily, and then glanced at Gu Ming, who came over with a smile, and gave a long salute: "Thank you for your help!" ”

"Actually, I just took some precautions and didn't help you much."

Gu Ming said modestly.

Sun Wukong said with a straight face: "No, it is precisely because of the arrangement of the immortals that Lao Sun can have no worries and deal with the demons wholeheartedly." ”

"Yes, yes, Shangxian helped a lot this time, and the old pig also thanked Brother Monkey on behalf of him."

Sha Seng was about to speak, but his face suddenly changed: "What's the matter?" Someone trying to break in? ”

Because at this time, the chess game trembled slightly, as if someone was attacking outside.

Gu Ming glanced around and said with a smile: "No, Wukong solved the inner demon, and that fake Wukong naturally disappeared."

As soon as he disappeared, the spell he had cast before was invalid, and now this fake flower and fruit mountain was being restored to its original appearance. ”

Sure enough, by the time Gu Ming took away the chess pieces and withdrew the chess game, the surroundings had changed greatly and turned into a large barren mountain.

"Great, a big scourge has finally been solved."

Zhu Bajie was overjoyed.

"Amitabha, good, good!"

"Alright, Master, let's hit the road."

"Let's go!"

Tang Seng waved his hand, and the group continued westward.

At this time, in the Heavenly Palace, Clairvoyant and Shunfeng Ear finally observed the situation below, and hurriedly ran back to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to report.

"Emperor Yuyu, Tang Seng and his apprentices have already left."

"Oh? And what about the maze from before? ”

"I think the ...... was removed"

The Jade Emperor couldn't help frowning and said: "This son is not simple, a small chess game can actually hide from the gods in the sky." ”

Tai Bai Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This son's strength is unfathomable, I'm afraid...... It is infinitely close to Da Luo Jinxian. ”

"Is it so powerful?"

The Jade Emperor didn't seem to believe it.

After all, there are not many people in the entire Heavenly Court who can be called Da Luo Jin Immortal.

"According to the minister, the Buddha has asked Guanyin to test the surnamed Gu, although the monk did not say the result, but ......"

Tai Bai Xing wanted to speak and stopped.

The Jade Emperor has been cultivating for so many years, will he not understand the meaning of Tai Bai Xing's words?

Therefore, after pondering for a while, he couldn't help but say to Tai Bai Xing: "In this way, it is better to work hard Aiqing to go to the Nether Realm for a trip, just say that it is my meaning, and I want to invite that Gu Ming to the Heavenly Palace to talk about it." ”

"Yes!"

Tai Bai Xing led the order.

"Your Majesty, is it possible that you want to recruit An?"

Li Jing, the Heavenly King of Tota, couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.

The Jade Emperor smiled: "It depends." ”

Regardless of whether he recruits An or not, the Jade Emperor still wants to meet Gu Ming.

It's not like you're looking for trouble or anything.

He is not stupid, Gu Ming walked with Tang Seng and his apprentices all the way, although he did not destroy the plan to learn the scriptures, but after all, it still had an impact.

even helped Sun Wukong survive a catastrophe.

The Western Heavenly Buddha Realm's attention to the matter of learning scriptures far exceeds that of the Heavenly Court, and even the Western Heavenly Buddha Realm has no action, and it is impossible for the Jade Emperor to make any moves.

On closer examination, this matter of learning from the scriptures is ostensibly a cooperation between the two sides, but in fact it is also an exchange of interests, which can be regarded as a compromise by the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, from the heart of the Jade Emperor, he wished that a third party force would appear.

It's just that this third-party force must have a certain strength, otherwise...... Maybe you can't even turn a small wave......
