Chapter 692: Chapter 688: A Hundred-Year Period Chapter 692: Chapter 688: A Hundred-Year Period “The key mont of the seal had arrived then, but the protective cover around Golden Cicada was also broken through. Out of fear, I… failed to stand up for him at that ti, to buy even just a mont for him, and as a result, he was severely injured by the demon clan. On the verge of dying, he chose not to save himself, but instead fearlessly protected the seal to reinforce it,” Flower Fox’s gaze gradually moved to Chan’er, but it seed to see through a century, falling on Master Xuanzang of that year.
His voice gradually diminished and this ti, no one urged him to go on.
“The golden cicada completed the sealing, but the Map of Mountains and Rivers, the treasure he carried, was also shattered into four pieces by a combined force of three demon generals who were at the True Immortal Stage, at the cost of blowing up their souls and dantians. Sun Wukong, the first disciple of Xuanzang, arrived first and took over the fragnts of the Map of Mountains and Rivers from Xuanzang’s hand monts before his death. By the ti Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha arrived a little later, all they saw was the figure of Master Xuanzang whose soul had scattered.” Flower Fox slowly narrated.
Chan’er listened very carefully. Although she also knew this was her past, she couldn’t rember it at all.
“When they returned from defeating the Nine Netherworlds, everything was already too late. Even though they had all beco Buddhas and immortals, Sun Wukong and his three brothers could not suppress their anger and wounded both and Master. Even in his furious state during the uproar in the Heavenly Palace, I had never seen the Great Sage Equal to Heaven so fierce, let alone Zhu Bajie, who always greeted people with a smile on a usual day, beca like a demonic god that day, full of fierce aura… If it weren’t for the tily arrival of the Guanyin Bodhisattva, they would probably have already committed murder.” Flower Fox continued.
Shen Luo rely listened, looking at Flower Fox filled with regret, but couldn’t bla him.
“After that, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva ca in a hurry, promised Sun Wukong and the others that he would try his best to save Golden Cicada’s residual soul and ensure his smooth reincarnation. Sun Wukong and the others let us go for a while, their anger drove towards the Nine Netherworlds and the demon clan. They imdiately decided to lead their respective tribes to war against the demons and vowed to eradicate all demons in the world. But once the war started, it would inevitably involve the Three Realms, causing trouble for the innocent and disaster for all living beings, of course, Guanyin Bodhisattva would not allow it. But facing the grief-stricken brothers, Bodhisattva too had nothing to say, had to persuade them to forbear for the greater good.” Flower Fox said.
“In nearly a hundred years, the Three Realms have been fairly peaceful. It seems that Bodhisattva did persuade them.” Bai Xiaotian said.
“In that situation, the four brothers were not the kind to listen to persuasion. But in his rage, Sun Wukong rembered the last words of Master Xuanzang before his death, so he finally agreed to hold back for a hundred years.”
“What happened afterwards?” This ti it was Chan’er who asked impatiently.
“Later, each of the four of them carried a piece of the Map of Mountains and Rivers and left Mountain of Ash Seal. They broke off contact with the Heavenly Palace and no one knew their whereabouts. But, before leaving, they said that unless their master reappears, they won’t show up. Otherwise, once the hundred years was up, they would see how powerful their accumulated anger was.” Flower Fox paused after saying this.
“What does that an? Unless Master Xuanzang fails to reincarnate after a hundred years, they will declare war on the demon clan?” Shen Luo knitted his brows, questioning.
“Given the Great Sage’s character, it’s quite likely so.” Flower Fox nodded.
“Then why are you waiting here?” Shen Luo asked.
“Back then, because we couldn’t defend well and caused Master Xuanzang’s death, we were heavily punished by the Heavenly Court. Master didn’t want to experience the punishnt of bolts of thunder too, so he dissolved our contract and set free. But I believe that if Golden Cicada is able to reincarnate, he would definitely co here again. I would like to return everything he left to him.” Flower Fox replied.
Upon hearing this, the attention of the three of them was imdiately aroused.
Before coming here, Chan’er had said that she was looking for an important object. It must be the thing that Flower Fox had.
Seeing all three of them focus on him, Flower Fox twisted his wrist, and a ball of seven-colored light imdiately lit up in his palm, revealing a colored glaze bead the size of a longan.
The colored glaze bead was semi-transparent and its shape was irregular. A faint fragrance emanated from it. Its surface was a bit rough, but it reflected a stream of seven-colored lights and exuded a noble and auspicious aura.
With just a glance, Shen Luo and the others felt a sense of peace and clarity washing over them.
“This is…the Seven Treasures Mani Relics!” Bai Xiaotian exclaid, his eyes wide open in amazent.
Typically, Buddhist high monks and layn who have perford great deeds or have achieved great rit, might sotis leave behind a couple of relics after they went to Nirvana and were cremated. Yet even such relics were extrely rare, let alone the Seven Treasures Mani Relics that were one in a million.
“This is the relic left by Master Xuanzang after he went to Nirvana. If Chan’er can comprehend its mysteries, he may very well achieve enlightennt and regain his mories of the past life,” Flora Fox said.
With that, she carefully held the relic and handed it to Chan’er.
Chan’er took it carefully, holding it in his hands, and studied it closely for a long ti without speaking a word.
“How is it? Can you see anything?” Shen Luo asked.
“Nothing,” Chan’er shook her head and said.
“Try putting the relic at your third eye and see what happens,” Bai Xiaotian suggested.
Chan’er nodded, did as Bai Xiaotian suggested, and put the relic at her third eye. She then closed her eyes, opening herself to the relic’s resonance.
After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, faced everyone’s expectant gazes, and shook her head helplessly.
“Never mind, it’s not easy to recall mories from a past life in a reincarnated body. Since we have already obtained the relic, we should not rush.” Seeing Chan’er lose herself in disappointnt, Shen Luo voiced words of comfort.
“Indeed, we have obtained the relic, and our journey to the Western Regions is not in vain. There’s no need to rush about regaining your mory. If all else fails, we can seek help from the National Master when we return to Chang’an City,” Bai Xiaotian added.
Hearing these words, Chan’er nodded, put the relic away, and stopped fretting over it.
“Boss Hua, you made such a big fuss just to see Chan’er. You even perford spells in Red Valley City, causing us to think the city was under attack by so demon,” Shen Luo complained after everything settled down.
“The situation was critical at that ti. I had to use this tactic to remove Jinchanzi from Red Valley City; otherwise, his life would have been in danger,” Flora Fox replied solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Chan’er’s expression changed slightly.
“In danger, what do you an by that?” Shen Luo asked in surprise.
Bai Xiaotian also looked puzzled; they were by Chan’er’s side at the ti, but they had detected no danger.
