Tang Sanzang said with both pride and emotion, "As a teacher, I suddenly took a liking to this way of enlightening people for joy... I have decided that from now on, unless I''m craving for it, I will still try to transform them through Buddhist Law."

    Sun Wukong, Six-Eared Macaque: "@#￥..."

    Tang Sanzang glanced at them, "What? Do you have any objections?"

    The two immediately pressed their palms together and said in unison, "Amitabha, our master is merciful!"

    Tang Sanzang laughed happily, "Speaking of which, the nine-headed one has quite a unique idea. If only I could grow nine heads too... well, maybe then some girls would come knocking on my door... Worth studying."

    ...

    After daylight, Tang Sanzang led his disciples out of the Jin Guang Temple, stumbling their way to meet the King of the Kingdom of Sacrifice.

    "Who goes there?"

    Outside the royal palace, someone asked.

    Sun Wukong said, "We are monks appointed by the Emperor of the Great Tang Nation, on our way to the West to seek the True Scriptures. Passing through your esteemed country, we have come to exchange travel documents. Please announce our arrival."

    The other party was taken aback and looked at Sun Wukong with a strange expression, then at Tang Sanzang, frowning even more, a look of oddity on his face.

    Nevertheless, the person still took the travel documents and said, "Please wait."

    At this moment, the abbot stepped forward, "I am the abbot of Jin Guang Temple. Please inform His Majesty that the Shariputra of Jin Guang Temple has been recovered by the high monk Tang Sanzang and his disciples from the Great Tang."

    The other party was visibly shocked upon hearing this.

    The importance of the Shariputra to the Kingdom of Sacrifice goes without saying, as it is the fortune of an entire nation.

    The entire nation was in a state of panic when it was lost.

    Now that it has been recovered, it''s naturally a matter of utmost importance!

    The person didn''t delay and went in to report the situation immediately.

    At this very moment, in the court.

    In fact, Tang Sanzang and Tang Sanzang were also a bit bewildered, although they knew of each other''s existence, this was their first face-to-face meeting.

    The two looked at each other, Tang Sanzang tilted his head, a look of dumb cuteness on his face, no malice, nor triumph, and after a moment, he raised one hand to greet, "Hi!"

    Tang Sanzang, on the other hand, looked closely at the bald imposter, ultimately joining his palms together and said, "Amitabha, you impostor!"

    Tang Sanzang scratched his head, "Impostor? How am I an impostor?"

    Tang Sanzang looked towards Sun Wukong and the others, his eyes red, pointing at them he said, "These are clearly disciples arranged for me by Guanyin Bodhisattva, yet all of them were led away by you impersonating me. How are you not an impostor?"

    Realizing something, Tang Sanzang said, "Oh... you''re talking about that. But... I didn''t impersonate anyone."

    Tang Sanzang angrily said, "If you didn''t impersonate, why would they follow you?"

    Tang Sanzang took a step back and said, "Disciples, please explain why you followed this poor monk!"

    Sun Wukong cleared his throat and said, "Well... mainly because I couldn''t beat him, didn''t want to be beaten to death, so I had no choice but to follow him."

    Zhu Ganglie said, "Afraid of being eaten, to live a couple more days, I followed him. Xiao Bai isn''t here, I''ll speak for him, he was also afraid of being eaten, so he followed along."

    Sha Wujing said, "I willingly followed Master. Master is mighty and domineering, with a good personality, loved by all, making flowers bloom upon seeing him. I, Old Sha, am an honest man and naturally wanted to follow such a heroic figure."

    Hearing this, Sun Wukong and Zhu Ganglie directly rolled their eyes at him, cursing in their hearts, "Damn, what a brownnoser!"

    Everyone turned towards the Six-Eared Macaque, who spread his hands and said, "Hey, don''t look at me, I''m not your disciple. I was just blocking the way... and ended up being blocked, that''s all."

    Hearing these words, Tang Sanzang''s face turned beet red, although he had known that this fake Tang Sanzang was fierce and powerful, he had not quite believed it.

    After all, the other''s traveling speed was truly not fast...

    Now he believed it, it turned out his poor disciples hadn''t been swayed to leave, they''d all been kidnapped!

    Others might fear Tang Sanzang, but Tang Sanzang didn''t, pointing at Tang Sanzang he said, "Listen to what they''re saying, it''s clear they were intimidated by your tyranny, and were forced to submit. How can you behave like this, use my name, and say you''re not an impostor?"

    Tang Sanzang shook his head and said, "I didn''t use your name. My ''Sanzang'' means funeral ''zang,'' yours is treasure ''zang,'' they are different concepts. As for them..."

    Tang Sanzang cleared his throat and said, "Please rephrase that."

    Sun Wukong, Zhu Ganglie, and the Six-Eared Macaque quickly raised their hands and said, "We all were conquered by Master''s handsome appearance, strong abilities, and perfect charisma, and we followed him willingly!"
