Chapter 371 - 372 The Child in the Goose Cage
Hearing Sand Monk’s words, Zhu Bajie said with disdain, "Come on! Back when you were in the Celestial Court lifting curtains for the Jade Emperor, you followed him around every day."
"If anyone could compete with you in the art of flattery, who could surpass you!"
Sand Monk shook his head and replied, "Second Senior Brother, your words are not right. If I really had the knack for flattery, I wouldn’t have been punished to suffer at Liusha River."
"Alright, alright," said Zhu Bajie, conceding he was at a disadvantage in the argument, he thankfully said no more.
"Let’s hurry up and prepare the vegetarian meal, so as not to let Master go hungry."
The two of them then busied themselves, while Sun Wukong stood outside waiting for Xuanzang to finish the Universal Salvation rites.
At that moment, the entire world was ablaze with light, the Buddha’s light dazzling, and the words of Amitabha Buddha emerged spontaneously.
"This monk is incredible; perhaps he can truly vie with Buddhism," Wukong muttered to himself.
A moment later, as Xuanzang finished the Universal Salvation, many little demons began reciting Buddhist scriptures and studying the Buddhist Law, repenting their past wrongs.
Xuanzang walked over.
"Master has worked hard; the vegetarian meal is ready," Wukong said, but before he could step forward, Zhu Bajie cheerfully called out, "Master, come and eat before it gets cold."
