Wanda and Pietro left, vanishing like a puff of smoke. Of course, before leaving, she had used magic to ensure that no one, other than Xuanzang, would remember that she existed.
The plot was progressing smoothly. Xuanzang tried to use love to change the fish demon, but he was beaten up by the fish demon and almost died.
At this crucial moment, the exorcist Miss Duan appeared.
Her methods were swift and fierce, and she easily subdued the demon. She forcefully locked down the demon's spirit and condensed it into a fish-shaped doll.
After that, she came to the beaten Chen Xuanzang amidst the cheers of the villagers.
"You're an exorcist too?"
"Yes!"
"Why?"
"Because it can awaken the truth, kindness, and beauty in a demon's heart!" Xuanzang waved the scripture in his hand.
"300 nursery rhymes?"
"Hahaha, hahaha!" Miss Duan seemed to have seen the funniest joke in the world. She took out a golden bracelet from her wrist and waved it. Instantly, a bracelet appeared. She played with it a few times as if it was a magic trick. Then, she looked at Chen Xuanzang mockingly. "What about this kid's toy? Actually, I'm interested too! Hahaha! "
Laughing loudly, she walked towards the villagers. Naturally, what greeted her was the cheers of the villagers.

Xuanzang returned to the town not far from Fish Dragon Village. In front of a wall in the corner of the town, he saw his master, the fat monk who seemed to be Tathagata's incarnation.
"Master, I'm back."
"What's wrong? Xuanzang, you don't look happy. "
"Master!" Xuanzang looked at the fat monk and said bitterly, "Today, I went there to slay the demon, but I couldn't help at all. Master, do you know how many people died? Old people, young ladies, young men, old ladies, and even a few children … Wuwuwu! "
"I'm so useless. I could only watch as the demon ate them. If it wasn't for someone, the villagers would've been eaten by the fish demon. Why? Master, didn't you say that the 300 nursery rhymes have a powerful force? Why didn't I discover it until now? I only wanted to be like those normal exorcists and be able to help at critical moments. Wuwuwu … "
Xuanzang cried and buried himself in the fat monk's arms.
"Sigh, Xuanzang, you're just a little bit away. Killing isn't the only way to exorcise a demon. Trust me, the truth, kindness, and beauty in the 300 nursery rhymes are the most powerful force! "
"Yes!" Hearing that his Master was in danger, Xuanzang choked back a sob. His bad mood immediately improved.
But at the moment he remembered what that mysterious senior said and subconsciously blurted out, "The weak are prey to the strong. No one is right and no one is wrong. Good and evil are just concepts that are imposed on the minds of others. It's a kind of moral restraint", before he could realize it he already blurted it out.
. "Xuanzang, why would you say that? Rule of the jungle is just a form of prejudice. You must remember that the reason why we cultivate is to make the world a better place, not to kill. If cultivation is just for killing, then what's the difference between humans and beasts? "
"How did you come up with this?"
Xuanzang paused for a moment, then stammered, "A senior told me! But I think that this is too extreme! "
"Senior??" The fat monk was stunned for a moment. Then, his eyes flashed as he stared at Xuanzang's body.
At this moment, the seed in Xuanzang's heart dissipated. No matter how the fat monk looked, he couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.
The fat monk heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Xuanzang and continued, "Xuanzang, you must understand that in this world, you need to comprehend it yourself. What others say is only what others think. So, cultivate well, and understand that little bit sooner. Then you will understand everything! "
"Not far from here, there is a pig demon in Gaolao village. I heard that many people have been assassinated. Xuanzang, if you can subdue that pig demon, it means that you have fully understood that little bit. Then, you will officially be a master!"
"Really?"
"Yes!" The fat monk smiled.
"Good. Master, I will go and make preparations now!"
With that, Xuanzang hurriedly left the place, preparing to leave.
Seeing Xuanzang leave, the smile on the fat monk's face slowly faded. In the end, he was expressionless and his eyes were cold.
"Senior?who is it? In this small world, there shouldn't be anyone who dares to do anything to Buddhism. There is nothing wrong with Xuanzang either. "
His eyes flashed as he thought to himself, "I hope it's just a passerby. Otherwise, if the Journey to the West goes wrong, all my plans in this world will be for naught! "
"It's a pity that I am just a small clone. I don't have enough power to recreate the past. I should wait for the incarnation of the main body to descend before I deal with all this! "

In a distant mountain range, wanda leaned against a boulder on the top of a mountain her face expressionless
"It really is a clone of Buddha. Perhaps it's just a thought and isn't very strong"
"It's a pity that Buddha's goal of using the Journey to the West to gather faith is still unclear. However, since I have already made my move, I will take it one step at a time. I have to prepare for the worst", after all Buddha can crush the current wanda and marvel multiverse to dust with just a thought.
As he spoke, a gust of wind blew and wanda's figure disappeared in the wind.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
This was the edge of a continuous mountain range. The trees were lush and verdant, and there were many roads that connected the mountain range in all directions.
Walking along one of the roads, a huge inn appeared in front of him. The inn was built in a strange way. It was built inside the mountain. After the mountain was hollowed out, it was forcefully built into a stone cave.
At a glance, the most eye-catching thing was the huge stone door. It was carved with dragons and phoenixes. There was a bronze ring hanging on the door handle, and a pair of stone lions on both sides. It looked majestic. There was a large board hanging on the door, and three words were written on it: Gaojia Village.
"What a strong demonic aura! Is this the Gaojia Village? Is this where the pig demon is? "
Chen Xuanzang stood in front of the door with a serious expression.
Although he did not have much power, his senses and other abilities were extraordinary. He could distinguish between demons and ghosts. Unfortunately, they were too weak.
"Let's go!"
Chen Xuanzang made up his mind and pushed the huge stone door with a determined look.
With a creak, the stone door was easily pushed open, revealing the scene inside.
There were rows upon rows of stone tables and chairs. Many guests were exchanging cups, drinking wine, and eating dishes. The dishes were steaming hot and smelled fragrant. In front of the tables and chairs was a huge grill. Rows of pigs were hanging in the grill, sizzling with oil.
Beside the grill was a candlestick on a pillar. The red candlelight flickered, and together with the unique design of the candlestick, it created a different atmosphere.
Everything was so harmonious and natural.
But in Chen Xuanzang's eyes, it was all a illusion.
The guests were all corpses sprawled on the tables. He did not know how long they had been dead. The pigs in the grill were clearly people who were hung up. The truth was that they were roasted to death.
As for the beautiful candlesticks, they were also fake. They were not candlesticks, but rakes inserted into the pillars.
The sharp nails were cold. Chen Xuanzang did not doubt that the rakes could easily pierce through him.
But he was not afraid!
Chen Xuanzang's expression did not change. He took a deep breath and walked directly into the depths of the cave.
