Outside the throne room, the high monks from all over the Tang Dynasty were lined up in neat rows. The surrounding guards held weapons in their hands as they sized up these high monks, their expressions solemn.1
Meanwhile, Xuan Zang was standing in the middle of the group of high monks. He couldn't help but feel nervous as he looked at Sun Wukong and Guan Yin who were standing above them.
Although they had secretly communicated with Sun Wukong before, the two of them had already secretly decided on a deal.
But with a variable like Guan Yin, there was no way he could guarantee that she would choose him.
As for the other high monks, when they saw Guan Yin appear, their faces became excited. They were not clear about what had happened, but they heard that King of Tang had made a list and wanted the high monks from various places to gather their Chang'an for Guan Yin to choose Seeker of Scripture.
As for why they were going to the Western Sky to obtain the scriptures, what dangers they would encounter along the way, and what benefits they would gain from completing the scriptures, they had no idea.
For them, being able to meet one of the great buddhist powers, Guan Shiyin, was already an extremely fortunate thing. Even if they didn't get chosen as Seeker of Scripture, it wouldn't be too much of a regret.
Guan Yin took in everyone's expression. She took out a willow branch from the bottle and gently waved it. A few drops of Yang Branch Sweet Dew were tossed out and turned into a rain of rain that fell on all the high monks.
The group of high monks felt refreshed, and all the hidden wounds on their bodies were healed.
"Thank you, Bodhisattva!" The group of high monks simultaneously bowed to Guan Yin, and said with excited expressions.
Everyone here is a disciple of my Buddhist Sect, your meditative hearts are firm, and your buddhist arts and cultivation level are extraordinary, worthy of this sovereign's blessing, "Guan Yin smiled and nodded to the crowd of high monks, then said in a deep voice," I believe all of you should know why I have invited you all to gather your Chang'an. "
"Reporting to the Bodhisattva, I still have something I don't understand," the moment Guan Shiyin finished his sentence, Xuan Zang suddenly spoke up from the crowd, "Why did the Bodhisattva choose Seeker of Scripture to go to the Western Paradise?"
When Guan Shiyin heard this, he looked deeply at Xuan Zang and explained, "World Honored One has pity for the common people and wants to pass down the Dharma of a great master to the common people.
However, buddhist arts can be passed down, but it cannot be underestimated. It requires a resolute person to set out from the Great Tang of the Eastern Lands, travel across mountains and rivers, go through all the hardships and reach the Great Thunderclap Temple to pass down the Dacheng Buddhist arts. "
"Thank you, Bodhisattva, for answering my question," Xuan Zang bowed respectfully to Guan Shiyin and said in a deep voice.
In fact, as Lee Shimin's sworn brother, he already knew about this through secret channels. Now that he suddenly asked, it was just to use this opportunity to attract Guan Yin's attention.
After all, in the current situation, as long as he was able to get Guanyin to choose him as Seeker of Scripture, no one would be able to shake him with his identity.
"I wonder how Bodhisattva will choose Seeker of Scripture?" After a moment of silence, Xuan Zang asked Guan Shiyin once again.
"Simple, I, Old Sun, can take a liking to it as long as you like it," Sun Wukong suddenly opened his mouth without waiting for Guanyin to speak with a vicious expression.
"May I know who senior is?" Xuan Zang looked at Sun Wukong with a puzzled expression.
He naturally knew Sun Wukong's identity. However, Xuan Zang was a smart person, so he naturally knew what could be exposed and what could not.
"I, Old Sun, was the Monkey King, Great Saint Qi Tian, Sun Wukong, of the Flowerfruit Mountain Water Curtain Cave that caused chaos in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago!"
When Sun Wukong heard this, he said proudly, "At the same time, I, Old Sun, am also the main force responsible for protecting Seeker of Scripture! "Therefore, there's only one standard for Seeker of Scripture, and that is that I, Old Sun, have a good impression of you. Otherwise, I, Old Sun, would recognize you and the Jingu Bang in my hands would not recognize you!"
