Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 801 Destiny

801 -801: Destiny

Zhu Bajie’s face was extremely dark, feeling like he had a thousand “MMPs” in his heart, not knowing what to say!

“Alright, alright, Wukong, stop with the nonsense.

Let’s get back to the point…”

It was fine to occasionally joke around, but everything had a limit.

Seeing that Zhu Bajie’s face was already pitch black, Jiang Liu straightened his expression and said to Sun Wukong.

Fine, Master had spoken, so naturally Sun Wukong wouldn’t say anything more.

Sand Wujing and Little White Dragon, who were nearby, also became much more serious in their expressions.

Although, whether they were as serious inside as they appeared, only heaven knew.

“Master…”

Shifting the topic and getting back to the main point was something Zhu Bajie would most agree with, so he quickly said, playing the role of a sidekick, “You just said we should follow the original plan.

Are we going directly to find Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva?”

“That would be impossible!” Jiang Liu shook his head at Zhu Bajie’s words.

“Although the three Great Demons of Lion Camel Kingdom took the initiative to attack us, don’t forget what our main goal is: to deal with Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

So, just because those three attacked us, that reason alone isn’t enough to make a case against Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva!” Jiang Liu shook his head again at Zhu Bajie’s question.

“Hmm, Master is right!” Zhu Bajie nodded, very much agreeing with Jiang Liu’s words.

Indeed, just because three Demons attacked the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, holding onto that reason and causing trouble for Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva?

That would indeed be somewhat far-fetched.

“Second Brother, what you’re saying is exactly what I wanted to say…” At this moment, Sand Wujing looked at Zhu Bajie with a somewhat strange expression and then said.

“Hahaha, Junior Brother Sha, that’s indeed something you would say habitually, but it completely expresses what I, Old Pig, feel in my heart!” Zhu Bajie said with a laugh, looking at Sand Wujing.

“Master…”

Ignoring the conversation between Zhu Bajie and Sand Wujing, Sun Wukong’s face turned more serious at this moment as well, saying, “So, we still need to go to Lion Camel Kingdom, gather enough reasons that allow us to take action against Manjushri and Samantabhadra, right?”

“Yes, ideally, we can get many people to ask us to handle this matter.

That way, if we agree, we would be seeking justice for the entire population of Lion Camel Kingdom, and our actions would be justified!” Jiang Liu nodded slightly, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face as he spoke.

Knock, knock, knock!

Just as Jiang Liu and his disciples were discussing their next steps, there was a sudden knock on the door.

At the same time, the voice of Princess Peacock came from outside, “Excuse me, is the Holy Monk here?”

“Hehehe, Master, this Princess Peacock is really enthusiastic about you, coming to find you at least eight times a day…” Hearing Princess Peacock’s voice from outside, Zhu Bajie said to Jiang Liu with a smile.

Zhu Bajie’s words made Jiang Liu glance sideways at him and say, “Bajie, I think we should continue discussing the matters of Zhenzhen and Lianlian.

Shall we?”

“Uh…” Jiang Liu’s words instantly made Zhu Bajie feel as if he had been hit with an Immobilization Technique.

He awkwardly scratched his head and fell silent.

Throwing a side-glance at Zhu Bajie, Jiang Liu walked to the door and opened it.

Sure enough, Princess Peacock stood at the door in a regal and splendid dress.

“Princess, what’s the matter?” After greeting, Jiang Liu got straight to the point and inquired.

“Holy Monk, some humans have arrived outside Peacock Valley.

They came all the way from Lion Camel City, saying they are here to find the Holy Monk!” Princess Peacock replied directly.

“Humans from Lion Camel City?

Specifically, to find me!?” Jiang Liu looked a bit surprised.

Lion Camel City was thirteen hundred miles away from here.

For ordinary humans to come over, it would take several days at least, wouldn’t it?

For no reason, they traveled such a long distance to find him.

Why?

However, although surprised, Jiang Liu thought that since they came specifically to find him, there must be something important.

So, after hesitating for a moment, Jiang Liu nodded, indicating he was willing to meet them.

At the mouth of Peacock Valley, Princess Peacock didn’t seem to intend to let the humans in.

Therefore, they all waited quietly at the entrance, feeling somewhat anxious.

They had already reached Peacock Valley and it seemed the Holy Monk was still in the valley, which was a good sign.

But whether the Holy Monk would help them?

None of them had any confidence.

After waiting for a while, suddenly, a group of people approached: several beautiful maidens led the way, with Jiang Liu and Princess Peacock walking almost side by side.

Behind them, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie followed.

This group of people naturally attracted the humans’ attention, and their eyes fell on Jiang Liu.

“So young!”

Because Jiang Liu was the only one dressed like a monk, while Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie wore Ice Iron Divine Armor and Dark Flame Armor, they determined that Jiang Liu must be the Holy Monk.

But seeing his youthful appearance, they were all secretly astonished.

“I, an old man, represent all the people of Lion Camel Kingdom to thank the Holy Monk!” As Jiang Liu and others approached, the leading elder said.

As he spoke, a few humans kneeled down together, bowing to Jiang Liu.

This unexpected gesture startled Jiang Liu.

He quickly stepped forward to help the elder up, saying, “Elder, why is this?

Whatever you need to say, please say it without such a grand gesture!”

As the saying goes, when strangers are overly enthusiastic, they must be asking for something.

The more enthusiastic they are, the harder the favor they seek!

Jiang Liu understood this logic!

So, with these people suddenly being so enthusiastic, Jiang Liu felt they must have a very tough request.

Of course, Jiang Liu didn’t mind; in fact, he was quite looking forward to it.

Because when others had requests, it often meant he could trigger a passive quest, right?

“Holy Monk, you deserve this gesture from me!”

As Jiang Liu helped him up, the elder seemed flattered and said, “We know that the three Great Demons led countless Demon creatures to trouble you, but they were all defeated and fled by you!”

“Because they feared you, Holy Monk, all the Demons and Ghosts in Lion Camel Kingdom disappeared overnight, and everyone regained their freedom.

So, I, an old man, represent all the people of Lion Camel Kingdom to thank you for your great kindness!”

“All the Demons in Lion Camel Kingdom have fled!?” Jiang Liu’s face fell upon hearing this.

If all those Demons had fled, it would be even harder for him to find a sufficient reason, right?

“Hehehe, old man, isn’t that an exaggeration?”

However, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but laugh out loud, saying to the elder, “Just you few, claiming to represent all the people of Lion Camel Kingdom?

Who among you is the King of Lion Camel Kingdom?”

“This lord…” The elder was not angry despite Sun Wukong’s scoffing.

Turning his head, he took out a large object and opened it directly.

It looked like a big umbrella, but it was actually made up of countless small pieces of cloth.

It had the shape of an umbrella but couldn’t shield against the wind or rain.

However, as Jiang Liu’s gaze fell upon this object, his eyes slightly narrowed.

As Jiang Liu focused on it, the corresponding Attribute Information of this umbrella-like object appeared before him.

Umbrella of the Masses (special item): Aggregated with the power of the masses’ faith, holding it grants a certain amount of destiny.

This Umbrella of the Masses was classified as an item, not a tool, meaning it couldn’t function like the Double Fish Jade Pendant or the Guild Creation Token.

Also, it had no added attack or defensive power.

But this Umbrella of the Masses contained the Power of Faith and could grant destiny?

Who would say no to destiny?

Although invisible and intangible, destiny was real and very influential.

For example, during the Era of Deification, all the Saints had treasures that suppressed the destiny of their schools.

Although Sect Master Tongtian had the powerful Four Immortal Execution Swords, they couldn’t suppress the destiny of a Great Teaching.

Thus leading to the decline of the Sect of Intercepting, right?

Moreover, most Saints relied on destiny to attain Saintliness.

Laozi, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable, and Sect Master Tongtian all used the destiny of the Human Sect, Interpretation Sect, and Sect of Intercepting to attain the position of Saints.

Even the two Saints of the Western Religion used the Great Teaching’s destiny to become Saints.

Only Goddess Nvwa was an exception, achieving Saintliness through the Merit Path by creating the Human Clan.

Of course, the destiny condensed in this Umbrella of the Masses was far from rivaling the destiny needed for a Saint to attain Saintliness.

Yet, the power of destiny was still very important.

“Holy Monk, this is the Umbrella of the Masses gathered by all the people of Lion Camel Kingdom!

We hope you, a good man, can go all the way to help eliminate the threats from Demons and Ghosts!”

Opening the Umbrella of the Masses and presenting it to Jiang Liu, the elder kneeled again, sincerely pleading.
