Chapter 658 I'm Saving You
The Queen Mother said, "I believe someone will deal with this demon monkey."
"Amitabha, good, good!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva arrived riding on auspicious clouds and landed outside the pavilion. When the Queen Mother and the others saw her, they were overjoyed. The Seven Fairy Maidens quickly raised their hands and said, "Bodhisattva."
Guanyin Bodhisattva sat on a seven-colored lotus platform, hovering in mid-air, and nodded with a "hmm".
The Queen Mother of the West said, "Bodhisattva."
Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "The demon monkey was misled by others and went astray. The Three Realms are about to face an unprecedented calamity. Queen Mother, you are now the ruler of the Heavenly Court. You must be prepared to face the calamity."
The Queen Mother said, "I hope the Bodhisattva can guide me through this confusion."
Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "The devil is one foot tall, but the Tao is ten feet tall. The monkey demon has committed a crime against Heaven, and someone will deal with him."
The Queen Mother said, "This demon monkey has become so powerful now that even the Buddha... May I ask, Bodhisattva, who can subdue him?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said, "This is a heavenly secret, and the Queen Mother need not know it for now. I have come to tell you something..."
In the West Sea Dragon Palace, the West Sea Dragon King sat on his dragon throne, sullen and drinking alone.
“Father,” the little white dragon said as he approached his father.
Upon seeing that it was his son returning, the Dragon King quickly put down his wine cup, clasped his hands together, and said, "This humble god was unaware of the arrival of the Golden Body and Powerful Dragon Ancestor Buddha. I have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me!"
The little white dragon said, "Father, please rise quickly."
After getting up, the Dragon King quickly ordered people to serve tea and snacks, and then asked, "I wonder what brings the Dragon Ancestor Buddha here today?"
The little white dragon said, "Father, the reason I have come here is to ask you to give me the treasure of the palace, the Broken Jade Hook."
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King was slightly startled and asked, "May I ask, Dragon Ancestor Buddha, what use do you have for the jade hook?"
The little white dragon said, "Father, there's no need to ask any more questions. I will find a way to serve you."
The Dragon King said, "Yes, yes, I was too talkative. I will retrieve the broken jade hook right away."
Soon, the Dragon King retrieved the magical artifact, the Jade-Breaking Hook. This artifact was a pair of hooks with a handle, forged by the ancient Gonggong clan using the essence of Taiyi and ten-thousand-year-old cold crystal. When attacking, it could transform into two hooks with extremely intense golden-red light, which would intertwine and fly out, possessing boundless power.
When the Dragon King presented the broken jade hook to the White Dragon, he seemed to have something to say but ultimately said nothing and asked nothing.
After obtaining the broken jade hook, the little white dragon said, "Father, I have important matters to attend to and cannot stay any longer. I shall depart."
The Dragon King nodded, and just as he was about to say something, he discovered that the Dragon Ancestor Buddha had already left, so the matter was dropped.
In Laozi's Tushita Palace, Laozi was meditating and contemplating when he suddenly felt uneasy. He quickly calculated with his fingers and then nodded.
Not long after, Sun Wukong arrived on his somersault cloud and landed outside the Tushita Palace. The Golden Boy and Jade Girl quickly stepped forward and greeted, "Greetings, Venerable Relic."
Sun Wukong asked, "Golden Boy, is Laozi at home?"
Jin Tong said, "My master is refining elixirs in the alchemy room! May I ask what business Venerable Relic has with my master?"
Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, "Go, go, I have something to discuss with Laozi."
With that, Sun Wukong went straight to Laozi's alchemy room. After opening the door, he indeed saw Laozi refining elixirs. So he got straight to the point and said, "Laozi, I heard that the Heavenly Fire God Whip of the Fire God Zhurong is with you. May I borrow it for a while?"
Upon hearing this, Laozi asked, "Sun Wukong, you killed the Jade Emperor and the Buddha, how dare you come here?"
Sun Wukong laughed and said, "What's there to be afraid of, Laozi? I'll just ask you one question: will you lend me the Heavenly Fire God Whip or not?"
Lao Tzu laughed and said, "It's rare for you to ask to borrow something, how could I refuse?"
Then he said to the golden boy and jade girl who were sitting down, "You two go and fetch my Heavenly Fire God Whip."
The boy and girl bowed in unison and said, "Yes, Master."
Soon, the Golden Boy and Jade Girl were ordered to retrieve the Heavenly Fire God Whip and hand it over to Laozi. Laozi then gave it to Sun Wukong, who said, "Thank you, Laozi."
Laozi smiled and said, "Sun Wukong, do you know the use of this thing?"
Sun Wukong said, "Of course I know."
After saying this, he swaggered away. Once Sun Wukong was gone, Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun appeared in the alchemy room. Taishang Laojun asked, "Do you two have any ideas?"
The Primordial Celestial Venerable laughed and said, "Spring has a hundred flowers, autumn has the moon, summer has cool breezes, and winter has snow; if there are no idle matters weighing on your mind, then every season is a good season."
Lao Tzu laughed and said: "A pure heart is the way, and taking a step back is actually moving forward; it is forged in the deep mountains through a thousand hammers and a hundred refinements, and it does not wait idly for the raging fire; even if it is shattered to pieces, it has no regrets, and it leaves its purity in the world; beyond the thirty-three heavens, there are immortals beyond the nine clouds; immortals are originally made from mortals, but I am afraid that mortals' hearts are not firm."
As they spoke, the three of them burst into laughter at the same time.
In the celestial realm, by the drowning river, Su Haijun was meditating and cultivating when Potato appeared beside him. He smiled and said, "It really wasn't easy to find you!"
Upon hearing this, Su Haijun was slightly startled. He quickly turned his head to look at Tudou, a strange light flashing between his brows, and smiled, "Chao Bufan, how have you been?"
Potato laughed and said, "Su Haijun, look more closely and see who I really am."
Su Haijun was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Aren't you Chao Bufan?"
Potato retorted, "What do you think?"
Su Haijun was taken aback again and asked, "If you're not extraordinary, then who are you?"
The potato said, "My name is Potato."
Su Haijun nodded, but inwardly he thought strangely: This person looks so much like Chao Bufan, even their temperament is so similar. He quickly and carefully examined Tudou, then was startled again: It really wasn't him. He then asked, "Did you need something?"
Potato didn't rush to answer. Instead, he crossed his arms in front of his chest, smiled, and then said, "Su Haijun, it feels like you and Chao Bufan have a great grudge against each other."
“I have an irreconcilable hatred for him.” Su Haijun blurted out, then frowned and asked, “What, are you here as a mediator?”
Potato shook his head and smiled...
Su Haijun frowned and asked again, "Then why did you come to me?"
Potato said, "Su Haijun, you are too naive."
Su Haijun asked, "What do you mean?"
Potato smiled and said, "Do you know you're being used?"
Upon hearing this, Su Haijun angrily retorted, "What a joke! What business is it of yours whether I'm being used or not?"
Potato laughed and said, "How can it be nothing? Su Haijun, I'm here to save you."
"Save me?" Su Haijun sneered, "What a joke! I'm neither sick nor injured, what are you going to save me for?"
“Of course, it’s to save your soul,” Potato looked deeply at Su Haijun. “You have been used by the Great Dao without realizing it, and your eyes have been blinded by your own attachments, which has led you to distort right and wrong and plunged the Three Realms into a predicament.”
