#1054 - Attack on the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea (Part 2)
Sage Zhunti nodded with deep empathy and said, "Senior Brother Jieyin, we think alike."
The residence of Jin Chanzi in the Western Church.
In recent years, Jin Chanzi has perfectly embodied the essence of the word 'salty fish'...
Every day, he stays within his own small territory, never stepping out of his gate, living the life of a shut-in.
Not only that, but he also refuses all visitors.
Except for Sage Jieyin and Sage Zhunti, he refuses to see anyone else, even if it's urgent...
The Western Church, both high and low, has quite a few complaints about this, but of course, it's just a few complaints.
No one dares to make a fuss about this matter.
In Jin Chanzi's words, it's like this: I have bled and been injured for the Western Church! I have fallen nine times! Who can compare with me!
Once these words are spoken, who would dare to talk nonsense about this matter? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Moreover, the Journey to the West plan has not truly begun yet, it can only be said to be in the preparation stage.
In the future, Jin Chanzi will still need to contribute to this plan, so even if Jin Chanzi is more willful now, they can only accept it...
Jin Chanzi walked out of his own small territory, a fire of gossip burning in his heart.
"The Heavenly Emperor's incarnation, is he causing trouble again recently?"
"I have to inquire about it carefully~"
When the other disciples of the Western Church saw Jin Chanzi, who had been staying at home for many years and refusing to see anyone, come out, their faces showed incredible expressions.
Among them, Jin Chanzi's eldest senior brother, Subhuti, upon hearing this news, immediately came to Jin Chanzi's front.
As soon as he saw Jin Chanzi, Subhuti put on a practiced fake smile and said, "Junior Brother Jin Chanzi, you are finally willing to come out, this senior brother is really worried."
Jin Chanzi glanced at Subhuti and said, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother."
After saying that, he was about to bypass Subhuti and go elsewhere.
Seeing this, the fake smile on Subhuti's face froze.
His face changed colors, ever since he tricked Jin Chanzi into carrying out the Journey to the West plan last time, Jin Chanzi's attitude towards him has been deteriorating...
To Jin Chanzi, Subhuti was simply too hateful.
If Subhuti hadn't stabbed him in the back, how could he have become the core figure of the Journey to the West plan and died nine times in a row!
Anyone would feel the same way as Jin Chanzi in this situation.
Subhuti looked at Jin Chanzi and said, "Good junior brother, are you still blaming me for what happened many years ago?"
"Alas~ This senior brother was also very difficult at the time."
"After all, it was a task assigned by the master, it would be so awkward if no one went to carry it out..."
Jin Chanzi stood still upon hearing these words and said, "So what?"
"You just sold me out and then gained the master's favor?"
Subhuti said, "Good junior brother, we are all disciples of the master, we should share the master's worries, shouldn't we?"
"This is what we disciples should do."
Jin Chanzi sneered, "You said we should share the master's worries?"
Subhuti said, "That's right."
Jin Chanzi: "Then why don't you go? You said it so clearly, you should volunteer."
These words left Subhuti speechless for a long time.
Let him go? Would he dare...
After seeing Jin Chanzi fall nine times, Subhuti often secretly rejoiced that he had pushed Jin Chanzi out in the first place, otherwise he would be the one suffering this great pain.
Jin Chanzi glanced at Subhuti and said, "What I hate most is people like you, who say nice things but don't do anything practical!"
"Now get out of the way, if you pester me again, don't blame me for being impolite."
Subhuti said, "Junior brother, we are fellow disciples, why bother making each other unhappy over a small matter?"
Jin Chanzi said, "You call falling nine times a small matter?"
After saying that, Jin Chanzi ignored Subhuti's sophistry and went in another direction.
Subhuti stood there watching Jin Chanzi's departing figure, his eyes flashing constantly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jin Chanzi quickly learned the information he wanted to know from the other disciples of the Western Church, and then returned to his own small territory again, continuing his shut-in life...
The other disciples of the Western Church said one after another:
"Senior Brother Jin Chanzi came out this time to inquire about the affairs of Flower Fruit Mountain?"
"It seems that's the case, it can be seen that Senior Brother Jin Chanzi is very interested in the affairs of Flower Fruit Mountain."
"Everyone, stop watching, Senior Brother Jin Chanzi has gone back again."
"Alas~ I also want to live the kind of life Senior Brother Jin Chanzi lives, staying at home."
"Are you dreaming? Senior Brother Jin Chanzi lives this kind of life because he has bled and been injured for our Western Church... He has fallen as many as nine times!"
"If you live this kind of life, Senior Brother Subhuti will drag you out of your residence and beat you up tomorrow."
Jin Chanzi held a fishing rod in one hand and muttered to himself, "What is the Heavenly Emperor up to this time?"
"Alas~ I suddenly miss him a little, although he made me fall nine times, but we have at least experienced life and death together."
...
Flower Fruit Mountain, Aolai Country, Dongsheng Shenzhou.
Five silly demons gathered together and said, "The king has been deploying troops and generals these days, where is he planning to attack again?"
"I don't know... How can we guess the king's thoughts?"
"Hehe, who cares where he's attacking, we'll definitely be involved."
"That's right, wherever the king attacks, we'll go."
"Speaking of which, where's Wukong?"
"Wukong was just called away by the king, saying he had something to do."
The monkey in the mouths of the five silly demons was standing respectfully in front of Qin Buyi at this time.
Qin Buyi said, "Wukong, I see that you don't have a suitable weapon in your hand, so I recently wanted to find one for you."
The monkey said, "Thank you, Master!"
"This disciple is curious to ask, what kind of weapon is Master going to find for this disciple?"
Qin Buyi said, "This weapon is called the 'Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle', it's at the East Sea Dragon Clan."
"The deployment of troops and generals has been completed in the past few days, and we are ready to attack the East Sea Dragon Clan at any time."
Monkey: "......"
At this moment, the monkey really wanted to say, I didn't hear wrong, my weapon is actually the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle of the East Sea Dragon Palace!
Regarding the legend of the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle, the monkey had heard Yu Ding Zhenren talk about it during the ten thousand years he spent with Yu Ding Zhenren.
He also understood how much effort the East Sea Dragon Clan had spent on this Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle back then.
Now his master said that he was going to take this thing over and give it to him as a weapon.
The monkey hesitated for a moment and then said, "Master, will this weapon be a little too... heavy?"
Qin Buyi smiled and looked at the monkey and said, "Are you trying to say the East Sea Dragon Clan's reaction to taking this weapon?"
The monkey nodded and said, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Master, I was indeed thinking that."
Qin Buyi said, "The biggest role of the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle for the East Sea Dragon Clan is to calm the waters."
"I already have a substitute in my hand, so there is no need to worry too much about the East Sea Dragon Clan's reaction."
Hearing Qin Buyi say this, the monkey's expression relaxed slightly, and he said, "This disciple thanks Master!"
Qin Buyi said, "You may leave."
Monkey said, "Yes."
...
Qin Lin and Qin Liang were racking their brains, trying to find a reason to send troops.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in Qin Lin's mind, and he said to Qin Liang, "Commander Liang, I have an idea!"
Qin Liang said, "What idea? Tell me quickly!"
The army has already assembled, and only a reason to send troops is missing.
As long as a reasonable reason to send troops can be found, the East Sea Dragon Clan can be attacked.
Qin Lin said, "The East Sea Dragon Clan is arrogant and domineering, and has been rampant for so many years, why don't we take advantage of this to strike."
A thought flashed through Qin Liang's mind, and he said, "Are you saying to set up a trap and let the East Sea Dragon Clan jump into it themselves?"
Qin Lin said, "Yes, that's what I mean."
Qin Liang asked with great curiosity, "Tell me specifically what the plan is."
