As Sun Kong calculated with the "Wu Hou Seven Stars Formation" that seven factions were paying attention to the inn, and dispatched his monkey hair clones to inform Wu Zhiqi, the various factions also reacted differently.
They were all shocked without exception!
The first to be shocked by this matter was Guangchengzi, the foremost of the Eight Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect!
In Chang'an City, 6.54 million miles away from Luoyang City.
Guangchengzi, who had been lurking as ordered, suddenly opened his eyes, full of surprise!
"Good heavens!"
"As expected of Brother Sun, to have reincarnated Jin Chanzi with a mysterious technique early on without any harm. It's simply miraculous!"
"However, this is also a good thing for me. Didn't he say that the opportunity to recover my cultivation was in Chang'an City? I've been lurking for five hundred years to keep it secret."
"Now that the second tribulation of the Journey to the West has begun, I'll continue to watch the show quietly. I won't act unless necessary, but whoever dares to ruin Brother Sun's plan is ruining mine."
"Whoever dares to ruin my Guangchengzi's plan, hmph, I won't let any of them go!"
Guangchengzi's eyes flashed with brilliance. Although he was not of Buddhist faith, due to an event from the past, he had become Sun Kong's most steadfast ally in the second tribulation, aside from Jin Chanzi and Wu Zhiqi.
None other!
...
The second person to be shocked by this matter was the Star Lord of Longevity, also known as the Old Man of Longevity, a rogue immortal from the Heavenly Court, invited by Guanyin Bodhisattva!
Originally, he should have stayed in Jiangzhou to wait for Chen Guangrui to be killed by Liu Hong and for Yin Wenjiao to give birth to the future Tang Monk while pregnant, but he was unusually shocked at this moment.
On one hand, he did not expect the variables in the Journey to the West tribulation to be so large, with the future Tang Monk being born early.
On the other hand, he silently calculated the celestial numbers related to himself and found that he still had a chance to gain merit. He decided to stay, but was stunned by what had just happened!
"This Jin Chanzi actually reincarnated with 100% success, without being weakened by the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation at all?"
"Goodness, thank goodness I, this old man, am not a monster on the Journey to the West. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been beaten by him like those monsters."
"The Great Sage Sun is indeed amazing. Because of him, the monsters that come later will probably suffer one by one. This is not them testing the Tang Monk and his disciples, but the Tang Monk and his disciples testing them."
"But what does this have to do with me?"
"I am a rogue immortal of the Heavenly Court, a registered disciple of the Patriarch of Daoism, Primordial Lord of Heaven, and merely a bodyguard invited by Guanyin Bodhisattva. I don't need to worry about these future troubles getting to me."
"As long as there's merit, I'm happy. You guys fight it out amongst yourselves. I won't help anyone, as long as Yin Wenjiao doesn't die prematurely!"
Thinking of this, the Star Lord of Longevity, who should have been compassionate and fulfilled his duties as a rogue immortal, wore a smug expression, acting like a petty person!
...
At the same time, others such as Feng'er and Huang'er, disciples of Empress Nuwa, who were now Chen Guangrui and Yin Wenjiao, Zhang shi, a substitute under Lao Zi, Liu Hong, a substitute under Zhen Yuanzi.
As well as the Jade Emperor's confidant, the Rose Dragon King, also noticed the anomaly in Luoyang City.
The difference was that the cultivation of this group of people could not compare with Jin Chanzi, Wu Zhiqi, Guangchengzi, or the Star Lord of Longevity. They could only speculate with their limited cultivation!
"As Madam said, our Madam's own son, the Great Sage Sun, is indeed formidable. We gave birth to Jin Chanzi early because we didn't want him to be harmed by others."
"I didn't expect to be discovered by Sun Dasheng's people. I wonder how much of his past life memory Jin Chanzi can recover."
"Poor us two sisters, after giving birth to the future Tang Monk, we will soon have our physical bodies killed according to the celestial mandate. Alas, who told us our cultivation is too low and we are not protagonists."
Chen Guangrui and Yin Wenjiao were enjoying a life of privilege in the Prime Minister's mansion, but contrary to what outsiders thought, the two were women.
That's right.
The former was actually Feng'er, and the latter was Huang'er, both of whom were the most trusted maids under Empress Nuwa. They had this opportunity because Sun Kong went to Wa Huang Palace five hundred years ago.
However, the two women did not regret it. Instead, they developed a maternal affection for Jin Chanzi, their "son," due to this rare mortal journey.
If it weren't for the predetermined fate, they would have truly wished to help Nuwa, help Sun Kong, and help Jin Chanzi on their journey to the West!
"Holy Ancestor Taiqing, I, this nun, was punished along with seven other fellow disciples for my mistakes. Fortunately, I have now received the pity of Holy Ancestor Taiqing and have returned as Zhang shi."
"I, He Xiangu, swear to the Heavenly Dao that from now on, I will follow your teachings, Holy Ancestor Taiqing, and will never dare to act recklessly or arbitrarily again."
"However, whether this monkey, Sun, secretly exerted his efforts to allow Jin Chanzi to regain his past life memories early is a good thing or a bad thing."
"Never mind, he is my 'grandson' anyway. He wouldn't take the opportunity to attack me, would he?"
"I am here to gain merit for the Journey to the West, not to cause trouble. If he respects me, I will respect him. If anyone dares to harm him, this grandmother will not stand idly by!"
On the other side, Zhang shi, who was left in Haizhou, was actually He Xiangu, one of the Eight Immortals. Golden light flickered in her eyes, but due to her insufficient cultivation, she could not discern too many truths.
But after all, she was a woman, and like Feng'er and Huang'er, she had developed an uncalled-for affection for Jin Chanzi. When mentioning potential threats,
The Three Marvel Lotuses in her hand emitted sharp light!
She thought no one would see it.
However, unexpectedly.
Just as He Xiangu was secretly vowing to protect Jin Chanzi, not far from Haizhou, the Rose Dragon King in the Rose River, and Liu Hong in Jiangzhou.
The two of them let out cold laughs!
It turned out that although the former was still the Rose Dragon King, he had received authorization from the Jade Emperor and could not wait to seize his opportunity for revenge.
And the latter was no longer the ordinary bandit Liu Hong, but Qingfeng, one of the most accomplished disciples of Zhen Yuanzi!
While others were greatly shocked by Jin Chanzi regaining his memory, these two had secretly joined forces.
They both had shifty, rat-like eyes.
And both were cunning and malicious!
"Greetings, Daoist Qingfeng!"
"You are too kind, Rose Dragon King!"
"Daoist Qingfeng, your opportunity is coming. This time, are you willing to be killed by the Jin Chanzi of eighteen years later, or..."
"Rose Dragon King, are you joking? I, Qingfeng, am a favored disciple of the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals. How can I be killed by that Buddhist Jin Chanzi?"
"Don't try to test me with those words. You and I are gathered together because of Senior New Six-Eared Macaque. Let's speak frankly. I want merit, and I also want Yin Wenjiao!"
"Furthermore, it is said that Chen Guangrui is not a man but a woman, and like Yin Wenjiao, they are both maids of Nuwa. Such beauties, how about one for each of us?"
A dragon king and a river bandit have colluded.
All because that New Six-Eared Macaque stirred up trouble!
