Chapter 786: Journey to the West Sequel - Salvation Merit 13
After deciding to continue collecting relics, Zhu Bajie and his companions quickly took action, and Ruyi followed them. The first place they found that might contain relics was the Shuangta Temple.
It was rumored that there was a stupa in the Shuangta Temple, and people speculated that the stupa was most likely formed from relics. The Shuangta Temple was not far away, and Ruyi and his friends soon arrived in front of the temple. They saw that the whole temple was in a state of desolation, with fallen leaves and dust everywhere, and not even a monk could be seen.
"What's going on? Why is Shuangta Temple so deserted?" Chenxiang remembered that when she went to ask for directions before, the aunt once said that Shuangta Temple was the most popular temple in Taiyuan, Shanxi, with a constant stream of pilgrims passing by. Including the abbot, there were at least a hundred monks living inside.
But now that we have really arrived at the Shuangta Temple, the scene before us can only be described as devastated. Not to mention the endless stream of pilgrims, there is not even a monk to be seen. Could something have happened?
"Let's go in and take a look!" Ruyi's face looked a little ugly. The reason why she was so leisurely before was that she thought that Wutan had handed over the task of finding the relics to Zhu Bajie in this life, and he should not send demons to the human world to search for it for the time being. However, she forgot that in the original plot, long before Wutan ordered the fake Guanyin to deceive Sun Wukong, he had already sent some demons to the human world to search for the Buddha's relics.
Ruyi felt a little regretful, but fortunately she never liked internal conflicts, so she ran into the Shuangta Temple first, and Zhu Bajie and Chenxiang followed closely behind her.
The situation inside the Shuangta Temple was even more tragic, with broken limbs and corpses everywhere. It was such a horrific scene that Chenxiang and the other three who followed in immediately looked pity.
Zhu Bajie squatted down and touched the bloodstains on the ground that had already turned black. He then flipped over a corpse and took a closer look. He confirmed, "These are all monks. Judging from the color of the blood, they should have been dead for several days."
"Who did this? How could it be so cruel?" Xiaoyu covered her nose. The fox's nose was too sharp. The whole temple was filled with the stench of rotting corpses, which made Xiaoyu feel very uncomfortable.
"It's a demon."
"It seems that Wujitian's men are much faster than us." Ruyi knew who the murderer was without checking and told Zhu Bajie and the others directly.
Zhu Bajie and Chenxiang had no doubts about this, but their hatred for the demons increased. "Could it be that the relic has been taken away by them?"
"Second Master, it's already this time, and you're still concerned about whether the relics have been taken away?" Chenxiang has the same personality as Sun Wukong, and she can't stand seeing such tragic things. Now she is determined to find out the demons that have passed through Shuangta Temple and kill them to avenge the monks who died in the temple.
"Let's just find those demons and kill them. This will not only avenge the masters in the Twin Pagodas Temple, but also take back the relics they took away!"
Chenxiang thought that since the demons had been to Shuangta Temple, it meant that the relics in Shuangta Temple had been taken away by them. Zhu Bajie was not giving up and was thinking that what if the demons didn't find it, so he wanted to stay and look for it.
Ruyi ignored Zhu Bajie and Chenxiang and started searching in the Shuangta Temple. She remembered that in the original plot, Sun Wukong did find a relic in the Shuangta Temple, but it was accidentally taken away by a giant eagle.
"Stupa, stupa... found it!" Ruyi opened his spiritual sense and scanned the entire stupa, and soon found the relic. Seeing that Zhu Bajie and the others were still struggling on whether to stay here to look for the relic or to seek revenge on the demons, Ruyi directly put the relic into the space.
The moment Ruyi took away the relic, the stupa outside the Shuangta Temple suddenly disappeared. Upon noticing this, the two people who were quarreling in the Shuangta Temple stopped quarreling and ran out at the same time.
Before the two of them could ask Ruyi whether he had found the relic, a giant eagle suddenly appeared in the sky, roaring ferociously and rushing towards Ruyi.
"Damn beast, you've come just in time!" Ruyi was wondering if taking the relic would attract the giant eagle. Now he realized that this eagle should have been left behind by Wutan's men for surveillance.
Since they were the demon's subordinates, they were not good guys. Ruyi used a thunder spell to split the giant eagle into black ashes. When the wind blew, it completely disappeared in the sky.
"Uh, Aunt Ruyi is so powerful?" Chenxiang was surprised. She thought Ruyi's cultivation was similar to her mother's, but she didn't expect her to be so powerful.
Zhu Bajie was also surprised. The giant eagle just now was not that simple. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to snatch the relic from the hands of the Fighting Buddha Sun Wukong in the original plot. "I didn't expect Sister Ruyi to be so powerful. I admire her. Haha, I admire her."
Ruyi showed off her skills and not only solved the giant eagle, but also shocked Zhu Bajie, Chenxiang and others, making them dare not ask about the relic again.
Zhu Bajie originally thought that among this group of people, only he had the highest level of cultivation, and when the relics were found, he would be the one to keep them. But now he no longer thinks so. Sister Ruyi is so powerful, there is no need for a small altar cleaner like him to worry about the relics.
After getting the relic, Ruyi didn't say much. He just went back to Shuangta Temple, moved all the corpses in the temple together, lit a fire and burned them, and then blew the ashes all over the Shuangta Temple.
"The relics you protected were not taken away by the demons. You can rest in peace now..."
After seeing Ruyi's operation, Zhu Bajie and others realized that the reason why the monks in Shuangta Temple died so miserably was because the demons could not find the relics and forced them to tell the whereabouts of the relics and killed them.
After leaving the Shuangta Temple, Ruyi and his companions continued to the next location to look for the relic. On the other hand, Sun Wukong, who left Huaguo Mountain and came to the mortal world, met Qiao Ling'er, the reincarnation of Tathagata.
Today, Qiao Ling'er has married Bai Lianhua, and under Qiao Ling'er's advice, Bai Lianhua, who loves Qiao Ling'er deeply, also begins to think about disbanding the village and no longer being the king of the village.
Led by Bai Lianhua, the entire Fengtou Mountain started to play the game of turning over a new leaf and becoming a new person, but it was obvious that Qiao Ling'er's charm could not infect everyone. The second in command of the mountain village saw that the boss Bai Lianhua actually wanted to stop, and felt that Bai Lianhua was no longer worthy of being the boss of Fengtou Mountain.
He wanted to seize power, he wanted to be the boss himself! So soon the second in command secretly united with some bandits who were unwilling to follow Bai Lianhua and start a new life, and launched a "coup" while Qiao Ling'er and Bai Lianhua were sleeping at night.
Bai Lianhua is a skilled martial artist, and the Second Master is no match for her. In order to force Bai Lianhua to admit defeat, the Second Master held Qiao Linger hostage, "First Master, no, Bai Lianhua, look who this is?"
"Ling'er!" Bai Lianhua was horrified, "Second Master, please let Ling'er go!"
"Humph! You can let this pretty boy go if you want me to." The second in command snorted coldly, "As long as you commit suicide now, I will let him go!"
