CHAPTER 325: CHAPTER 241: THE STRONGEST TANG SANZANG_2

"Although Tang Sanzang never appeared in the Celestial Court, I see that his forehead is generous, so you could say he has appeared there," Meng Die said somewhat awkwardly.

"Oh, this is what you meant by him definitely appearing in the Celestial Court?" Rosen said speechlessly.

After settling Tang Sanzang in a place, Meng Die fetched some firewood. The four of them pitched a tent at night and set a large iron pot over the fire to make soup.

Meanwhile, they talked about the story of eating Tang Monk’s flesh to gain immortality.

Tang Sanzang felt quite uncomfortable hearing this.

"What’s the matter, Tang Sanzang? You look a bit uneasy," Rosen asked in surprise, looking at Tang Sanzang.

"I just feel a bit cold, don’t overthink it," Tang Sanzang replied as cold sweat ran down his back.

Rosen said, "If you’re afraid of the cold, just get into the large iron pot; the hot water is ready for a bath."

"A bath?" Tang Sanzang suddenly wondered if he had misunderstood. So, the water boiled was really for bathing?

Seeing Tang Sanzang still hesitating, Meng Die jumped into the large iron pot first, scooped some hot water and splashed it on her hand, saying, "Just like me, pour hot water, and it won’t be cold anymore."

After demonstrating, Meng Die immediately jumped out of the large iron pot at lightning speed.

Now, Tang Sanzang had no burden in his heart left; he was sure that this really was a pot of bathwater.

After confirming the situation was safe, Tang Sanzang immediately jumped in.

Then: "So hot!"

"It’s supposed to be hot. Meng Die, quickly add more firewood!"

"Got it!"

More firewood was heaped up.

Tang Sanzang said puzzledly, "The water temperature has already reached a hundred degrees, there’s no need to add more firewood, right?"

"This is to eliminate the bacteria on your skin, it’s for sterilizing."

Hearing Meng Die’s explanation, Tang Sanzang, though not entirely convinced, felt it made sense.

Then, Tang Sanzang comfortably bathed, changed clothes, and sang "Two Little Tigers" while bathing.

While Rosen and Meng Die were dumbstruck, Tang Sanzang comfortably put on a bathrobe and left the large iron pot.

"What just happened, he actually left the large pot unharmed?"

"Yes, I saw it; something must be off!"

"Are you suggesting that Tang Sanzang is actually a monster?"

Rosen and Meng Die said incredulously.

Just then, Tang Sanzang came by the campfire where the two were and said, "Now I just want to hear a story about Tang Monk’s flesh from you two, or, tell a story to you."

Rosen and Meng Die were instantly overpowered by Tang Sanzang’s aura, swallowed hard, and asked, "What story do you want to tell, please go ahead?"

"Then I’ll tell you the story of the strongest Tang Sanzang, who becomes stronger when bald." Tang Sanzang said.

Hearing this, Rosen felt ominous: "Meng Die, did we enter the wrong set? Why have we ended up in the One-Punch world?"

It’s pretty terrifying.

"Saitama, is that you, Saitama?" Rosen tentatively asked.

Tang Sanzang said, "This name sounds very familiar, but I haven’t used it in a long time. Since my soul crossed over a few years ago, I haven’t heard that name for a long time."

"Now, I am Tang Sanzang, or you can call me, One-Punch Master!"

Upon hearing this, Rosen asked, "What is your relationship with Master Yideng?"

At these words, Tang Sanzang’s expression froze momentarily, then he responded, "Master Yideng is the husband of the sister of my brother-in-law’s wife!"

"Huh?" Rosen’s mind momentarily short-circuited, asking, "Your brother-in-law has two wives?"

"No, just one."

"Oh, then your sister has only one brother?"

"Yes."

"Oh, then you have only one wife, right?"

To which Tang Sanzang surprisingly raised both hands, saying, "I have two wives."

Seeing the calluses on Tang Sanzang’s hands, Rosen was terrified, saying, "I understand, so you’re Master Yideng, right?"

"Correct, Master Yideng was a name I once used, but later I was known as One-Punch Master because I always kill with one punch."

Hearing Tang Sanzang’s explanation, Rosen realized the pun between One-Punch Master and one punch to death, which seemed quite fitting for the name.

Unexpectedly, there was such a story behind a name, and Rosen felt enlightened.

"This is the story of the strongest Tang Sanzang you wanted to tell us? Wait, didn’t you say it’s about becoming strong with a shaved head, why are you bringing up your sister and brother-in-law?" Rosen asked, determined to get to the bottom of it.

"Because, only after I punched my brother-in-law to death, did I become a monk," Tang Sanzang said mournfully, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Back then, I just saw a fly land on my brother-in-law’s face and tried to use all my skills to slap the fly dead, but accidentally slapped my brother-in-law to death due to misjudged strength."

Afterwards, my sister thought it was murder, and immediately rushed to the kitchen to get a knife to kill me. I was terrified, ran as fast as I could, and eventually was chased to a ruined temple, which I remembered was called Iron Spear Temple; crows were crowing around, and I saw in front of a statue of Yue Fei, there were three people. Two of them, a man and a woman, the man was handsome and dashing, and the woman smart and nimble, were accusing another man of defecting to the Yuan army, betraying his teacher, and even near the statue of Yue Fei without regret?"

"Then the man tried to strike the woman, but the woman was wearing a gold-threaded soft armor with Ice Soul Silver Needles on it, and the man died on the spot. Just then, a woman rushed in, cradling a child, seeming to be the wife of the poisoned man. Then, the woman also committed suicide, leaving only a baby boy."

"The man and woman then picked up the baby, and the man said his brother, despite having gone astray, was still a brother by oath and decided to raise the child himself. Given the father’s grave sins, they wanted to let the child atone for him so they could teach him to be a better person and named him Yang Guo!"

As Rosen listened, it all seemed unsettlingly familiar. When he heard the name Yang Guo, Rosen’s face turned grim: "Wait, wasn’t this supposed to be your story about becoming stronger with a shaved head, how did it turn into the Jingkang Incident and the Anshi Rebellion?"

"Oh, that’s because I happened to be born in that era, it’s the grand backdrop of the story," Tang Sanzang replied.

"Weren’t you born in the Tang Dynasty?"

"Actually, I’m from the Southern Song Dynasty, born there and then reached the peak of my life in the Great Tang. But recently, I’m on the decline," Tang Sanzang said.

"Alright, I don’t want to hear about your decline, I just want to know, what does this story have to do with you becoming strong with a shaved head?" Rosen’s patience was wearing thin.

Tang Sanzang sat straight because he sensed a real danger, if he didn’t give a reasonable answer, Rosen’s big fist might soon come down.

Finally not beating around the bush, Tang Sanzang said: "Actually, back then..."

"Back then, what?!" Rosen demanded angrily.

Tang Sanzang began to tremble all over.

Rosen sneered, "Can’t you make up the story anymore? I don’t think you’re the strongest Tang Sanzang at all!"

Rosen saw through Tang Sanzang’s act earlier.

"No, I’ll tell you," Tang Sanzang said, "Back during the Jingkang Incident, I happened to be in that Iron Spear Temple, and at that time, I was a girl called Silly Girl."

With these words, Rosen and Meng Die were dumbfounded.

Shocked, when Tang Sanzang was still a girl, he witnessed the entire Jingkang Incident?

"And then?"

"Then, watching their fight, I learned a very powerful martial art called Aerospace Eighteen Palm Techniques, it’s Guo Jing’s skill. I was fascinated by this Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, so that’s why when helping my brother-in-law swat a fly, I accidentally killed him."

"Wait, the time span is over a thousand years, right? You’ve had an interest in Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms for more than a thousand years?" Rosen raised a doubt.

"No, actually my brother-in-law died more than a thousand years ago, at that time I just happened to have practiced Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms."

"But, how does this relate to you getting stronger with a shaved head?"

"Well, that’s because after accidentally killing someone, I shaved my head and became a monk, is that even a question?"

Beating around the bush, Tang Sanzang finally answered.
