Chapter 143 Buddhist Rules
King Golden Horn was furious with Jiang Feng. Because Jiang Feng had descended to the mortal realm without permission and dared not admit that he was the attendant of the Supreme Lord Laozi, King Golden Horn could not find an excuse to vent his anger.
But he knew in his heart that Jiang Feng had probably figured out his background.
Not only did Golden Horn think this way, but Sun Wukong thought the same thing.
Sun Wukong was born with a keen mind. Hearing Jiang Feng repeatedly mention Laozi's furnace-watching boy and observing the Golden Horn King's reaction, he immediately understood the origin of the monster before him.
But all three of them kept it to themselves and none of them revealed the truth.
King Golden Horn quickly suppressed his anger, held up his treasure gourd, and opened the lid: "Jiang Feng, if I call your name, do you dare to answer?"
Jiang Feng, brimming with courage and heroism, was naturally fearless, raising his head and puffing out his chest, he declared, "I wouldn't dare!"
"ah?"
King Golden Horn was immediately at a loss, saying, "Ah, this—you are a holy monk of the Great Sui Dynasty, the one chosen by Guanyin Bodhisattva to retrieve the scriptures, and you don't even dare to answer when I call your name?"
Jiang Feng replied matter-of-factly, "A monk doesn't lie; if I dare not, I dare not!"
King Golden Horn was so anxious that he kept scratching his head. He wanted to use the Golden Rope to tie up Jiang Feng, but after glancing at the happy monkey next to him, he quickly gave up the idea.
Tying Jiang Feng up is easy, but the monkey is a different story. If the monkey were to hit him with a stick, he would be dead or seriously injured!
Sigh, I should have invited my second brother along.
Just as he was regretting his impulsive decision to face the enemy alone, Jiang Feng took out a gourd from his treasure pouch.
"King Golden Horn, I recognize the purple-gold-red gourd in your hand. If you call my name and I answer, I will be sucked into the gourd and turn into thick blood in no time."
"As it happens, I also have a magic gourd in my hand. Golden Horn King, do you recognize it?"
King Golden Horn paused, looked at the gourd with a puzzled expression, and said, "I don't recognize it."
Jiang Feng smiled sarcastically: "I suppose you wouldn't recognize it. This gourd was formed from the blade of the axe that Pangu held when he created the world. It's called the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, and it's specifically used to slay gods and Buddhas!"
"I've already locked onto you with my magic gourd. All I have to do is call out, 'Please turn around, my darling,' and a beam of white light will instantly envelop your body, decapitating you in an instant. Even Buddha himself couldn't stop it!"
"what!"
King Golden Horn was terrified, his life hanging by a thread. He didn't even consider doubting Jiang Feng's lie, and hurriedly said, "Let's talk this out. I'll have someone release your disciple right now. Please, don't use this magic gourd!"
Jiang Feng sneered, "Is releasing my disciple all it takes? How are you going to settle your matter of wanting to eat me?"
Seeing that Jiang Feng's magic gourd was always pointed at him, the Golden Horn King dared not move it at all and asked fearfully, "Then tell me how you want to settle this?"
Jiang Feng said with a sharp look in his eyes, "Now I'll give you two choices. One is for you two brothers to choose one of us, master and disciples, to eat."
Secondly, according to our Buddhist rules, once the wine is finished, all grudges are settled; to bring up old matters again is not the act of a true hero. You should offer apologies and prepare a hundred tables of wine to atone for your sins against us, master and disciple!
Without hesitation, the Golden Horned King replied, "The second one, I choose the second path! Let's follow the rules of Buddhism!"
Sun Wukong: "??"
Does Buddhism really have such a rule?
Could it be that if he had simply set up a hundred tables and served the first wine back then, he wouldn't have been imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain by Buddha for five hundred years?
Are you kidding me?!
Sun Wukong stared at Jiang Feng with suspicion, increasingly feeling that his master might be a monster in disguise, but his transformation technique was too exquisite for him to see through!
Jiang Feng gave a satisfied "hmm" and said, "I know you have five magic treasures, but I only need the Banana Leaf Fan. That's not unreasonable, is it?"
When the Golden Horned King saw him asking for the Banana Leaf Fan, his heart ached, but for the sake of his own life, he forced a smile and said, "It's not excessive, not at all!"
As he spoke, he turned to the two little demons beside him and scolded, "You two, you clever devil and clever worm, hurry up and inform the Second King to send the Banana Leaf Fan to the Holy Monk!"
The two little demons immediately obeyed and ran into the cave to tell King Silver Horn the whole story.
Upon hearing this, the Silver Horn King was greatly surprised. He glanced at "Jiang Feng" cooking in the pot, then drew his Seven Star Sword and slashed at him.
The next instant, Jiang Feng was cleaved in two by a sword, turning into a monkey hair severed in the middle—
"Oh no, we've fallen for that monk's trick! Big brother's in danger!"
Silver Horn King, carrying the Seven Star Sword in one hand and clutching the Banana Leaf Fan in the other, hurriedly arrived outside the cave.
He glanced at the gourd in Jiang Feng's hand, then at the Golden Horn King who stood frozen in place, not daring to move, and quickly thought of a way to rescue his brother.
With a quick thought, he walked towards Jiang Feng with a fawning smile: "Holy Monk, we were very rude to you before. It was my brother and I who were in the wrong!"
I will first present you with the banana leaf fan as a token of my sincerity, and then release Sha Wujing and offer you a reconciliation drink as an apology.
As he was speaking, he suddenly waved his fan, and towering flames rose out of thin air, instantly engulfing Jiang Feng's figure.
"Oh no!"
Sun Wukong's heart skipped a beat, and he reached out to grab Jiang Feng, only to have the monkey hair on his hand singed by the divine fire that surged back.
Just then, the flames suddenly gathered towards where Jiang Feng was standing. As the flames gradually shrank, Jiang Feng's figure reappeared in front of everyone.
He stood there unharmed, calmly holding the gourd, while the raging flames surrounding him were being rapidly drawn into the gourd.
The incredible scene left everyone stunned, uttering gasps of amazement.
If the seventh brother of the Calabash Brothers were here, he would definitely recognize that this gourd looks exactly the same as his companion gourd, and even the functions of the magic weapons are exactly the same!
Jiang Feng calmly stored the flames into the magic gourd, then turned the gourd around and released the flames he had just absorbed towards the Golden Horn and Silver Horn.
In an instant, the little demons behind the two were engulfed by the flames and burned to ashes amidst screams.
King Silver Horn was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, only then realizing how terrifying this magic gourd was.
Seeing that Jiang Feng had already pointed the gourd at him, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Holy monk, spare my life! Take the banana leaf fan, I just accidentally let it slip, I didn't mean to set you on fire!"
With that, he raised the banana leaf fan above his head with both hands, no longer daring to use any tricks.
Jiang Feng reached out and took the banana leaf fan, teasingly saying with a smile, "You naughty boy. It's alright if your hand slips, but if mine had slipped too, you'd probably be head and shoulders by now."
Silver Horn King quickly smiled apologetically: "Holy Monk, you jest. Doesn't activating this gourd require reciting an incantation?"
Jiang Feng laughed and said, "This gourd only requires reciting incantations when slaying immortals; it's not needed when collecting wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, making it very convenient to use."
The exquisite ghost beside him stared intently at the gourd, muttering involuntarily, "What a powerful magic weapon! This one magic weapon is comparable to the Purple-Gold Red Gourd and the Jade Purification Bottle combined!"
King Golden Horn's eyes lit up as he looked at the Exquisite Ghost, who trembled in fright and stammered, "Your Majesty, did I say something wrong?"
The Golden Horned King's lips curled into a strange smile: "You didn't say anything wrong. Quickly order the men to prepare the opening feast, a hundred tables!"
