Chapter 17 Regression and Backtracking
"Drip, the time is up, the host is starting to return."
Wang Sheng's face changed drastically, and he remembered the previous system prompt.
When the sound of the system fell, his figure seemed to be floating in the wind. Wang Sheng was in a hurry. He hadn't explained it clearly to his master and senior brothers. Explain who I am."
Thinking about it, it seems that only Guanyin Bodhisattva, who joined the world of the main god, can understand his situation.
Avalokitesvara was taken aback, and after seeing Wang Sheng's situation clearly, she nodded clearly, "Mr. leave at ease, and the poor monk knows."
Zhen Yuanzi caught Wang Sheng's abnormality at the first time, his eyes were fixed, and he had this kind of space supernatural power without a trace, he looked at Wang Sheng and said: "Why are fellow Taoists leaving in such a hurry? It's not too late for ginseng fruit."
Wang Sheng smiled wryly, and could only helplessly cup his hands at Zhen Yuanzi and said, "The Great Immortal is surprised, I really have something urgent and I can't stay longer, and I will meet the Great Immortal again in the future." He also seized the time to look at Tang Monk and his disciples: "Everyone, take care, See you again someday.”
He waved his hand vigorously, and the figure disappeared in an instant.
Zhen Yuanzi's eyes flashed brilliantly, this otherworldly fellow Taoist's spatial supernatural powers were indeed powerful, but he still couldn't find the slightest trace.
"The director left just like that?" Zhu Bajie was a little confused.
Tang Seng shook his head, put his palms together and made a Buddhist salute in the direction of Wang Sheng's disappearance, and Drifting followed suit.
...
Wang Sheng only felt that the world turned upside down in front of his eyes, and his vision was dim. When he opened his eyes in a daze, he found himself in a gray space.
"Where is this?" Wang Sheng was at a loss, he didn't return to the convenience store immediately.
"Drip, the first rescue mission is completed, follow-up review."
The system sounded, and then a picture suddenly appeared in the gray space in front of his eyes. The weather inside was sunny, with green water and green mountains, and at the foot of a mountain, Tang Monk, his apprentice and his white dragon horse were resting by the stream.
Wang Sheng was stunned. Isn't this Tang Seng's master and apprentice? Could it be a previous video?
At this time, the scene in the picture changed again, the sky was surrounded by auspicious clouds, and Guanyin suddenly appeared in front of Tang Seng with a jade bottle in his hand and a lotus platform on his feet. Tang Seng hurriedly saluted the Bodhisattva.
Avalokitesvara smiled, "Do you remember what Immortal Zhenyuan said to you, how can you keep safe on this journey without that monkey head?"
Zhu Bajie said in a naive manner: "Bodhisattva, don't underestimate my old pig and Junior Brother Sha, and will definitely keep Master safe."
Guanyin scolded with a smile, "What do you know, you idiot." Then she looked at Tang Seng again, "Can you change your mind?"
Tang Seng was just silent.
Avalokitesvara stared into his eyes, "You are afraid that the monkey head going west and becoming a Buddha will ruin his practice, but you know, this is his natural destiny, and he cannot escape."
Tang Seng remained silent.
Guanyin shook her head, the lotus platform under her feet turned slightly, and her figure disappeared across the sky instantly.
Wang Sheng stared in astonishment in front of the screen, could this be what happened in Journey to the West at this moment? But in just a few seconds, did Tang Seng and his disciples leave Wuzhuang Temple?
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in the picture. He was wearing a golden hoop, holding a golden stick in his hand, and his golden eyes were shining brightly.
"Big brother (monkey brother)!" Zhu Bajie and Drifting exclaimed in surprise.
Tang Seng turned to look at Sun Wukong, only to see that the Great Sage was also staring at him with a calm face.
Tang Seng clasped his hands together and sighed softly, "You monkey head, you really don't know what is good or bad. Don't regret the path you chose."
The great sage snorted disdainfully, "Since my grandson has promised to send you to Lingshan, he will never give up halfway."
The picture disappears here, and Wang Sheng stares blankly. Now he has confirmed that this is indeed what happened after he left Journey to the West. The timelines of the two sides seem to be a little different.
Wang Sheng patted his head, this is really like watching a TV series.
At this time, the picture in front of him reappeared, but it was no longer Tang Seng's master and apprentice. Wang Sheng saw a familiar hall, and also saw two familiar figures in the hall.
The hall is the Daxiong Palace, and the figures are Wang Sheng's senior brother Hongren and his master Daoxin. He stared at the picture for a moment, focusing on the picture.
In the Daxiong Palace, Hongren stole a few times to look at the master who was seriously sitting in meditation. Finally, he couldn't help asking: "Master, is my brother really the reincarnation of a Buddhist great virtue as the Bodhisattva said?"
Daoxin closed his eyes and said nothing, and after a while he slowly opened his mouth, "After all, your Zen mind is uncertain. Do you still remember what your uncle Shanxing said that day, people in the world have no fixed law, and then they know the law; It’s not over yet, so why not let it go.”
Hong Ren shook his head, "Master, I still like my brother's bodhi tree."
Daoxin opened his eyes to look at him, and suddenly smiled, "Of course it's up to you."
Hong Ren rubbed his head, "Master, you still haven't told me about my junior brother."
Daoxin closed his eyes, "As long as he is my Zen disciple, what does his past life status have to do with me? You can ask him in person after he finishes his practice with the Bodhisattva."
Only then did Hongren smile and say, "That's good."
The picture disappeared, and Wang Sheng was stunned. He knew that his senior brother kept asking his master not because he was really curious about the past life identity that the Bodhisattva made up for him, but just to make sure whether he would return to Zen Buddhism, and whether his master would still recognize his identity as a Zen disciple.
As a result, it was clear that Dao's faith remained unchanged, no matter what Wang Sheng's status was, he would still recognize him as a Zen disciple.
He felt warm in his heart, worshiped a master, recognized a senior brother, and might have to admit it for the rest of his life.
At this time, the picture appeared again, a suspended mountain with majestic momentum, a winding path around the mountain, with pavilions, red flowers and green grass on it, and a waterfall rushing down from the top to the foot of the mountain.
It is Longevity Mountain, and when the picture zooms in, Wang Sheng also sees Wuzhuang temple, the ginseng fruit tree in the temple, and Zhen Yuanzi standing in front of the ginseng fruit tree.
Zhen Yuanzi was tall, with an ethereal figure in a Taoist uniform, and was in a trance at the moment, but the moment Wang Sheng caught his eyes, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly turned his head to look at the sky, his eyes were like electricity. Come, Wang Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked away.
Zhen Yuanzi showed doubts on his face, he quickly pinched his fingers and calculated, after a while he shook his head, it should be an illusion.
The screen disappeared, and Wang Sheng's heart throbbed. Zhen Yuanzi really deserved to be the ancestor of the Earth Immortal, and he actually sensed the system's peeping.
At this moment, the system beeps.
"Drip, the plot of Journey to the West has resumed, the mission of the host has been completed, and the return begins."
As soon as the words fell, Wang Sheng's eyes blurred again. When he opened his eyes, he saw a narrow and dark space with scattered snacks everywhere. It was his small convenience store.
"Master is back." Wang Sheng was pleasantly surprised. He couldn't believe it. Ever since he traveled to the world of Journey to the West, he really didn't have much expectation for his return.
The convenience store was still messed up by Tang Seng and his disciples before. Wang Sheng looked at the wall clock on the wall, which showed the date.
"August 6th? It's only been three days here." The time of Journey to the West is indeed different from that of Earth.
But it's good to be back!
Wang Sheng was very happy. Although it was only a few days since he left the shop, his mood changes during the period were like going through a roller coaster.
