Chapter 48 The Principles of Chan Teaching
Sun Wukong checked the replies of Zhizihu netizens, sometimes scratching his ears and cheeks, sometimes frowning in thought.
These actions made Ne Zha both curious and vigilant. Having been sent by the Jade Emperor, he certainly knew how suspicious Sun Wukong was and feared that the handsome Monkey King might suddenly take off.
Ne Zha urged, "Great Saint, His Majesty is still waiting in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, let’s set off quickly."
Sun Wukong withdrew his thoughts and smiled, "Alright, let’s go, let’s go."
Relieved, Ne Zha followed Sun Wukong and rode the clouds toward the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
On the way, he couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, "Great Saint, was it you who killed Deng Hua?"
Sun Wukong, with his hands behind his back, lectured, "Don’t talk nonsense, child; I have always been compassionate. How could I harm anyone’s life?"
Ne Zha didn’t believe him, but he didn’t press further. Instead, he leaned in closer and whispered, "Whether it was you who killed him or not, if you’re going to teach a lesson to those from the Jie Teaching again, you must take me with you."
"Next time for sure." Sun Wukong chuckled in amusement, realizing he was dealing with a fearless child, then curiously asked, "You seem to hate the Jie Teaching people so much, do you have a grudge against them?"
"What grudge could I have?" Ne Zha shook his head, "My master was one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Jie Teaching, a direct disciple of a Saint. By that account, I am also a disciple of the Jie Teaching.
