Chapter 784: Journey to the West Sequel - Salvation Merit 11

"Second Master, do you know this...girl?" Chenxiang asked Zhu Bajie in a low voice in surprise.

"I'm not a girl. In terms of seniority, Xiao Chenxiang, Xiao'er and Lao San, you guys should call me Aunt Ruyi." Although Chenxiang asked in a low voice, Ruyi had sharp ears and heard it clearly. Without waiting for Zhu Bajie to introduce himself, she smiled and spoke out.

"What? Auntie!" Chenxiang glanced at Ruyi's face, which looked about the same age as his own. It was really hard for him to imagine Ruyi as someone of the same generation as his mother, the Third Holy Mother.

It’s not that the Three Holy Mothers and the others have become less young, but that Ruyi’s temperament is different from that of the Three Holy Mothers and other female fairies. Although the faces of the Three Holy Mothers and other female fairies look equally young, the mature and steady temperament in them is different at first glance.

"You should call her Auntie." Zhu Bajie explained to Chenxiang and the others with a smile, "Back then, Chenxiang, Xiaoer and Laosan, you all were delivered by Sister Ruyi."

"What, what? There is such a thing, Second Master, please tell me quickly, tell me quickly." Chenxiang became interested when he heard this, and at the same time, he let down his guard because he was sure that Ruyi was a friend and not an enemy.

"Okay. Since you want to know, I, Old Pig, will tell you." While Zhu Bajie was telling Chenxiang and the others about the past events, he took the initiative to walk into the dilapidated temple and came to Ruyi to ask for a roast chicken.

Ruyi rolled her eyes speechlessly, but still kindly handed the freshly roasted chicken to Zhu Bajie. Looking at the monk's robe Zhu Bajie was wearing, Ruyi really wanted to ask, is this okay for him? As a disciple of Buddhism, is it really okay to break the precepts by eating meat openly like this?

Chenxiang and the others learned from Zhu Bajie that Ruyi and San Shengmu used to be very good friends, and that the Ruyi even helped take care of them for a while until they left when something happened. They immediately became curious.

Chen Xiang sat down next to Ruyi in a familiar manner, smiled ingratiatingly, and asked curiously: "Aunt Ruyi, are you really my mother's good friend? Why have I never heard my mother mention you?"

Chenxiang suddenly mentioned the Third Holy Mother, and Ruyi didn't know what to say for a moment. To be honest, she didn't know whether she was still a good friend of the Third Holy Mother. If it were in the past, Ruyi could confidently say yes, but since she and the Third Holy Mother were separated due to misunderstanding in Huashan last time, Ruyi is not so sure now.

"this......"

"You may need to ask the Three Holy Mothers. I can't answer you." Ruyi did not answer Chenxiang's question directly, but just glossed over it.

Chenxiang was a little disappointed and opened his mouth to continue asking questions, but was stopped by Zhu Bajie who noticed something was wrong. At night, after the girls fell asleep, Zhu Bajie found an opportunity to talk to Ruyi alone.

"Sister Ruyi, you and the Three Holy Mothers..."

"Marshal Tianpeng, this matter cannot be explained clearly at the moment, and now seems not the time to dwell on it." Ruyi didn't want to think about these things now, and directly interrupted Zhu Bajie's words when he wanted to know the situation.

Zhu Bajie is not really stupid. Ruyi has already made it clear that he doesn't want to mention this matter, so he naturally won't insist on it. When he heard Ruyi's meaningful question, he suddenly thought of something and his expression became much more serious.

"Sister Ruyi, do you know something?" Ever since Zhu Bajie completed the mission of obtaining the scriptures, he has been staying in the Jingtan Temple all day long and knows almost nothing about what is happening in the outside world. This time, Guanyin Bodhisattva came suddenly, and although she explained the content of the mission, she did not say any more information.

If Guanyin Bodhisattva hadn't urged him, Zhu Bajie would definitely have figured out the situation first before considering whether to accept the task.

"Yes, I know. You are here in the mortal world to look for relics, right?"

"I wonder if the Marshal knows that Lingshan has now been occupied by the demon Wuji, and the Buddha who assigned you the task is no longer Tathagata?" Just in case, Ruyi decided to confirm the information with Zhu Bajie again.

"What? Lingshan has been occupied by the devil? Isn't the Buddha Tathagata?!" X5

Chenxiang and the others were about to fall asleep when they were suddenly woken up by the conversation between Zhu Bajie and Ruyi. They had been pretending to be asleep with their eyes closed and secretly listening to their conversation, but they did not expect to hear such big news. They exclaimed in surprise and even forgot to pretend to be asleep.

Ruyi's spiritual sense was always kept outside, firstly to alert the surrounding environment, and secondly to detect Zhu Bajie and the others in front of him. After all, these people were not very familiar to Ruyi. It would be bad if one of them was a demon in disguise and accidentally heard some news.

As soon as Chenxiang and the others woke up, Ruyi had already discovered them. She didn't expose them because she wanted to see what they were up to. From the results of the spiritual sense detection, it was obvious that these people were all real people, not fakes.

"Oh!" When she looked up, she saw one, two, three, four, five, five pairs of eyes full of gossip were staring at her. Ruyi knew that she had to explain it again.

In the Flower-Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong and Yang Jian had just finished discussing their respective information and temporarily breathed a sigh of relief. According to Sun Wukong's guess, without himself as the Fighting Buddha, the person chosen by Wu Tian this time should be Zhu Bajie.

Wu Tian needs Zhu Bajie to help him find the reincarnation of Tathagata, and he also needs Zhu Bajie to help him collect seventeen relics. For the time being, he will not do anything to Zhu Bajie.

Chenxiang, Xiaoer and Laosan have always been with Zhu Bajie. In order not to arouse Zhu Bajie's suspicion, Wutan would not do anything to Chenxiang and the others.

"Yang Jian, don't worry, Chenxiang and the others should be fine now."

"Great Sage, are you sure?" Yang Jian was still a little worried. "I am sure." Sun Wukong explained, "The demon Wu Tian still needs my help to find the reincarnated spirit boy, so I won't do anything to them for a while."

"I, Old Sun, guess that at this moment, Old Pig and Chenxiang should have gone to the mortal world. We can go to the mortal world to look for them. When we find them, we can tell them what is happening in the three realms and let them be on guard against those suspicious people."

Yang Jian thought about it for a while and felt that what Sun Wukong said made sense, but the problem was that Chenxiang was not in a hurry for the time being, but Xiaotian Dog was.

"Great Sage, since Chenxiang is alright for now, I want to go save Roaring Sky Dog first. I wonder if I can leave the task of searching for Chenxiang and the others in the mortal world to you?"

"Don't worry. Chenxiang is my disciple. I will naturally not ignore her. Just leave her to me." Sun Wukong nodded and agreed readily.

After entrusting Chenxiang to Sun Wukong, Yang Jian felt much more at ease. He was just about to go back and tell Yang Chan about this, and then go to the underworld alone to rescue Xiaotian Dog, when he heard the old monkey from Huaguo Mountain coming to report.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! A god fell from the sky. It's... it's the Third Prince Nezha!"
