Chapter Seven, Wukong Observes the Dragon Stone

The Western Heavenly Spirit Mountain, with the immense Great Thunder Sound Temple towering majestically, is enveloped in an endless solemnity

Oh, it turns out that the monster appearing during the full moon is transformed from Wu Kong, so his grandfather is not...?

Sun Wukong remains relatively clear-headed, unlike Bai Pinpin, who directly takes the contents of the book as reality

The Buddha frowned and then said, "Let him in."

What are everyone's thoughts on this matter

The golden-headed Jiedi embellished the events that occurred at Skeleton Mountain, recounting them one by one to the Tathagata

It turns out that there is a treasure in the book called Dragon Stone; as long as twelve pieces are gathered, one can summon the Divine Dragon and fulfill three wishes

Yang Xiao handed over another book as he took the Dark Journey to the West from Sun Wukong's hands

On the stage, the Tathagata interrupted the two and instructed Guanyin.

You shameless individuals, when you do not seek for yourselves, as soon as someone like Wu Kong finds it, you come to snatch it away!

Is this wooden house really built by that female demon

As expected of the owner of this magical bookstore, one cannot truly gauge his abilities merely by the level of his cultivation

"Is the Bodhisattva doubting my words? Buddha, I assure you, I have not spoken a single untruth. When I left, Sun Wukong and that female demon were already together, entwined in affection."

There is no trace of Wukong within the Three Realms

Guanyin was taken aback. Could it be that the female demon was not the White Bone Spirit, but rather a transformation of a certain saint, who took Wukong away?

At that moment, the Tathagata on stage spoke again: "Although I have not found that monkey, I did discover a wooden house on Skull Mountain. How could anyone possibly live there?"

If you believe it to be true, then it is true; if you believe it to be false, then it is false. In the realm of truth and falsehood, who can truly distinguish between them

Sun Wukong lamented that a bookstore capable of rendering him, a celestial being, unable to wield his magical powers, could not be an ordinary establishment

Guanyin gazed at the golden-headed Jieti, her brows furrowed tightly

The dazed Sun Wukong stared blankly at Yang Xiao, the shopkeeper's words were so full of mystery

The golden-headed Jingdi shook his head: "I do not know, could it be built by that female demon?"

Seeing the transformation of Wukong during the night of the full moon, Sun Wukong exclaimed in sudden realization

What one perceives as true is indeed true

Oh? Wasn't he responsible for secretly guarding the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada? How did he return?

Yang Xiao continues to engage in nonsensical talk, as the monkey is the first link in his chaos in Journey to the West, and it must not be overlooked

However, I have never seen anyone living in a wooden house like this

"Just go and see for yourself. You mentioned that the female demon grows stronger with each battle; I am quite intrigued. Guanyin, go and capture her."

Wu Kong lived in the mountains far from the city, leading a life of martial arts and hunting. He originally had a grandfather who loved and cared for him, but on a night of the full moon, he met a tragic death at the hands of a terrifying monster

Throwing down the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," Bai Pinpin approached excitedly, joyfully sizing up Sun Wukong

With the power of the Tathagata, there is hardly anything in the Three Realms, except for a few places, that can escape his divine awareness

Indeed, the Buddha, the monkey Sun Wukong, has colluded with the monsters, and the four heavenly officials from the celestial realm are not assisting me in eliminating the demons

How delightful it would be if the Three Realms also had Dragon Stones; I, Old Sun, would go and collect a complete set.

From then on, only Wu Kong remained, relying on his martial skills, he did not starve to death. On this day, as usual, Wu Kong went out to hunt. After searching for a long time, he finally spotted a wild rabbit

The book chosen by Yang Xiao for Sun Wukong is the one he believes is most likely to help Sun Wukong gain insight.

The owner of this shop has seen it before, it doesn't seem to be anything special

Ananda nodded, and after a moment, the somewhat disheveled golden-headed Jieti strode in, paying his respects to the Tathagata

Well said, excellent, the fate of me, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, cannot be manipulated by others

Without the tightening spell, to remove the golden hoop, it requires the intervention of a sage in this world.

The truth and falsehood are not important; you only need to know that those who treat you well should be cherished, while those who wish to use you as a pawn should be disregarded. Your fate is determined by you, not by fate, and certainly not by anyone else

From now on, this is the direction he will pursue. As for being manipulated by the Buddhist community to seek scriptures and such, to hell with it, he will no longer engage in that.

Wukong has the golden hoop on him, he cannot betray

Sun Wukong, immersed in the world of books, completely forgot everything outside

The Guanyin below opened her mouth, her eyes flickering slightly

My fate is determined by me, not by heaven. Whoever dares to stop me shall be eliminated

Isn't this just a novel? Is it really that interesting

I respectfully inform the Buddha that the Golden-headed Jieti seeks an audience outside

Strange, that monkey head is truly gone, and there is no trace of him within the Three Realms

Cherish those who treat me well, and as for those who regard me as a mere pawn, who else is there?

Empty, do you already know? I haven't deceived you, have I

At this moment, Sun Wukong's thoughts were exceptionally clear, and he seemed to see a brilliantly illuminated path before him

"Buddha, I have come to report a grievance." Jin Tou Jie Di spoke.

Not every book can impart knowledge; it depends on the opportunity.

However, since it is recommended by the shop owner, it should be reliable, so I curiously opened it up

"Golden-headed Jiedi, what brings you back?" the Tathagata asked calmly from the stage

There is an ancient legend that on the night of the full moon, one must not venture outside, for on this day, terrifying monsters will appear in the world, destroying everything

The Tathagata nodded, raised his hand to signal Jin Tou Jie Di to be quiet, and his powerful divine consciousness swept outward

The Golden Hoop was something she witnessed Sun Wukong place upon his head, and she also saw Tang Seng test its effects

The truth and falsehood of ghosts are all like novels and movies from past lives; how would the owner of this shop know

Upon seeing the scene, Sun Wukong could not help but shout loudly, leaving Yang Xiao utterly speechless

Listening to Yang Xiao's words, a dazed expression gradually revealed a dazzling brilliance in Sun Wukong's eyes

Golden-headed Apsara, do you know what is going on

The gaze of Guanyin flickered slightly as it fell upon the door. Mu Zha took a step forward and began to knock on the door with a rhythmic thud.

Monkey, do not get agitated. With your current abilities, you are still not capable. Therefore, the next step is the second step. Come, first read the book.

After listening, the Tathagata fell silent for a moment and looked down at the assembly of Bodhisattvas and Arhats.

Gently nodding, Sun Wukong looked at Yang Xiao and asked, "Shopkeeper, is it really in the book?"

In the sky, a cloud of auspiciousness floated in from the west and settled in front of the study, revealing the presence of Guanyin and others inside.

With a smile, Yang Xiao looked at Sun Wukong and pretended to be profound, uttering something very cryptic

Suddenly, the venerable Ananda quickly walked in from outside and approached the Tathagata, who was seated upright in the center of the lotus platform

A strange expression appeared in his eyes, as if he were puzzled: "Report?"

Sun Wukong flipped through the pages with great interest, and after reading a few chapters, he finally understood why the book was titled "Dragon Stone"

Receiving the book handed to him by Yang Xiao, Sun Wukong wore a look of confusion

The two individuals searched tirelessly and, after much hardship, finally found a dragon stone, only to encounter those who came to seize it

Dragon Stone? What a strange book title

After a moment, the Tathagata regained his composure, his brows furrowed tightly

Unknowingly, Sun Wukong has already become immersed in the world of the book

The Golden-headed Jingdi glared at Guanyin in dissatisfaction and argued loudly

Generally, mountain spirits and wild monsters reside in caves, while there are also some demons that create lofts for their habitation

The protagonist of the book, Wu Kong, embarks on a journey to find the Dragon Stone accompanied by a girl named Bu Er

Inside the study, Sun Wukong slowly closed the book after finishing the last chapter of "The Dark Journey to the West," his expression exceedingly complex.

Guanyin nodded, bringing along her disciple, the wooden Zha, and the golden-headed Jiedi as they journeyed eastward.
