Chapter 232 - 233: Master and Three Disciples Flee in the Night
Although Buddha Juriyunsun was indeed a Buddha, they all resided in the Western Direction, so their relationship was quite amicable.
When such an incident occurred, they naturally could only look to Buddha Juriyunsun for help.
"No one else resides in your temple. It must have been that furry-faced Thunder Duke, who was once the Great Sage Equalling Heaven causing Havoc in Heaven and also destroyed the Peach Garden. Now that he has damaged your treasure, there’s nothing surprising about it!"
"But if you reason with him, I’m afraid the monkey will quibble and deny everything. And if it really came to arguing, at that point, if a fight broke out, how would you two stand a chance against the four of them?"
"Now, it would be better to go and cajole them, saying that the fruits are not missing, you just miscounted, and offer them an apology."
"Their meal has been cooked already. Wait until they eat, and then serve them some side dishes."
"By then, lock the doors and secure the locks. Lock up all the layers of doors, do not let him out, and wait until your master returns to deal with it."
"Then, that senior monk is an old friend of your master’s. To spare him would also be a favour from your master, while not sparing him would allow you to catch these few thieves, and naturally, you would be excused from the crime of negligent supervision."
Qing Feng and Mingyue couldn’t help but look at each other and nodded in agreement, "Makes sense! Makes sense! Thank you, Buddha Ancestor, for the guidance, thank you, Buddha Ancestor, for the guidance!"
Immediately, the two of them summoned their spirits and squeezed out a smile on their faces.
Returning to the great hall, they bowed to Xuanzang and said, "Great Master, we spoke crudely just now and were very offensive. Please forgive us, forgive us."
