Leonis's spirits were lifted as he turned to Manjushri and said,""Monk, cut the crap. If you defeat me, I'll join your sect. If you can't defeat me, haha…you'll become my food.”
Jin Zha had already picked up the Demon Subduing Staff. Hearing Lion King's rude words, he said angrily,"Damned vile creature, you're spouting such wild words. Watch this prince take your life.”After saying that, he was about to rush over and make a move.
Manjushri said,"Jinzha, leave. I'll do as he says and bet with him."”
Jin Zha didn't dare to act rashly. He glared at Lion King and retreated with his staff, but he still glared at him. The Lion King laughed loudly and said,"The monk is the most straightforward."”
Manjushri smiled and said," However, I haven't fought anyone for 1,600 years. How about this? My disciple Jinzha will fight you for me. If he wins, you will become my disciple. If he loses, I will obey your orders. I will not complain if you want to kill me or cut me up."”
To be honest, he didn't have much confidence if he wanted this lion spirit to fight Manjushri. Hearing Manjushri's words, it was exactly what he wanted. However, he had just experienced Jin's power and knew that he wasn't his match alone. Only by working with the eight Monster Kings could he win. Thinking of this, he said,"I don't object if you want your disciple to fight for you, but he has to fight against all nine of us at the same time.”
Jin Zha was furious. He thought that this Lion Spirit was too cunning. He knew that he would definitely lose if they worked together, so he proposed this condition. He just hoped that Lion King wouldn't agree. Unexpectedly, Manjushri said,"It's a deal."”
Lion King and the other nine Monster Kings were overjoyed when they saw Manjushri agree. They thought that this monk was really a fool. He knew that Jin wasn't their match and still agreed. He was going to lose this time. "I won't go back on my word.”
"Master, don't fall for this lion demon's trick," said Jin Zha anxiously.”
"Jinzha, come here. I have something to tell you."”
Jin Zha didn't know what was going on, he quickly rode a cloud to Manjushri's lotus platform. The Lion King and the demons saw Manjushri whisper a few words to Jinzha. He stretched out his palm and stroked Jinzha's limbs. Then, he pointed down and said,"Go ahead."
Jin accepted the order and returned to Lion's Mouth Cave. He waved his Demon Subduing Staff and said,"Don't waste time. Come on."
Leonis looked at the eight Daemon Kings and said,"Brothers, let's trade our strength to capture this kid."”The eight Daemon Kings responded in unison. Lion King opened the way first, and the eight Daemon Kings also brandished their sabers and spears at Jin Zha.
Jin Zha held the Demon Subduing Rod and was as steady as Mount Tai. He only waved his weapon to fight when the Monster Kings were near. Leonis's mountain-cleaving saber was the first to strike the Demon Subduing Staff. He felt an indescribable force hit the saber, causing it to fly out of his hand and into the clouds."Why did this kid become like a different person after talking to Wen Shu for a few words?”With that thought in mind, his body didn't stop. He quickly went to look for a weapon.
Because of the battle of steel, the monster kings had all flown out to pick up their weapons. They were all mentally prepared to fight Jin again. They didn't care that Lion King's weapon had flown a bit higher, thinking that Jin had recovered his strength after resting for a while. The second one to reach Jin was the white wolf king. He was distracted and stabbed with his scythe spear, but Jin blocked him with his staff. Not only did he lose his scythe spear, but it was also broken in two. He was terrified and wanted to escape, but Jin's staff hit him. It was too late to dodge. It hit his head, and his brain exploded. His corpse fell.
The third to arrive was the single-horned Daemon King. Seeing that the white wolf Daemon King and Jin Zha had died in a single exchange, he was shocked and couldn't help but slow down. Jin Zha didn't give him time to think. He sent the Mountain Breaking Hammer flying with one strike and broke his bones and tendons with another.
By the time Leonis picked up the mountain cleaver from the chaotic forest behind the mountain, four of the eight demon kings had died. Only two black tiger spirits, one deer spirit, and one goat spirit were left. Just as he was about to help, another black tiger spirit was killed by Jinzha. The remaining three Monster Kings were terrified. How could they dare to fight again? They dragged their weapons and fled. They turned into three demonic winds and fled without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Jin was in a killing mood. Seeing Lion King, he swung his staff and charged over. Lion King had no choice but to brace himself and fight. In less than three rounds, he was kicked to the ground by Jin. Jin Zha was angry at him and raised his staff to end his life. "Don't kill him, Jinzha," Manjushri said in the air.”
Jinzha withdrew his staff and Manjushri said,"Are you willing to admit defeat and join my sect?”
Leonis had escaped death. Three of the Twelve Cave Monster Kings had been hit by the Soul-Seeking Bell, six had died in Jinzha's hands, and three had fled without a trace. He also looked at his ten thousand little demons who had escaped. The rest did not want to escape, but they did not have the courage to. They could not even escape. A moment ago, he was surrounded by people and was awe-inspiring, but a moment later, he was basically alone. How big was this difference? The ones who caused him to fall to this state were Wen Shu in the air and Jin Zha in front of him.
This kind of blow had already made him lose his mind. He pointed at Manjushri and started to act like a bachelor."You darn bald donkey, you actually tried to trick me. Don't leave, watch me tear you into pieces.”After saying that, he leaped up and pounced on Manjushri.
"You bastard!" Jin shouted.”He wanted to intercept it.
"Jinzha, stop," Manjushri said.”As he spoke, he threw out the lotus throne he was sitting on. The lotus throne flew to the top of Leonis's head and emitted tens of thousands of golden lights, covering Leonis's body. Leonis roared and fell to the ground. He rolled and struggled, but he could not break free from the golden light.
Manjushri looked at Lion King, who was covered in golden light, and said,""Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. Are you willing to join us now?”
When Leonis heard this, he kowtowed and said,""Disciple has eyes but failed to see and does not know the boundless Buddhist Dharma. I am willing to sincerely convert and listen to Bodhisattva's teachings sooner or later.”
Manjushri stretched out his hand and pointed. The Lion King roared and immediately revealed his lion form. The golden light from the lotus platform dissipated and landed on the lion's back. The green-haired lion spirit shook its head and tail, letting out a lion's roar. It stepped into the air and arrived in front of Manjushri. From then on, this green-haired lion spirit became a mount of Manjushri. A thousand years later, he blocked the way of Tang Sanzang to the west at the Lion Camel Ridge. It was a story for the future, so let's not talk about it for the time being. However, if he had known that Sun Wukong, who had crawled into his stomach and caused him to die, had once been his underling at Mt. Changkong, how would he have felt?
Manjushri sat back on the back of the indigo lion and said to Jinzha,"You go and rescue Aunt Thirty and Ao Xin. Remember, Buddha is merciful. As long as these demons have the heart to turn over a new leaf, we cannot harm their lives.”
Jin Zha accepted the order and went into Lion's Mouth Cave to save them. The Monkey King saw that he could not miss this opportunity. His immortal destiny was at this moment, so he quickly bowed to Manjushri and said,"Bodhisattva, I'm lucky to have met you today. I'm willing to become your disciple and serve you in the morning and evening. I beg you to take me in.”
When Manjushri saw the Monkey King kneeling on the mountain rock, he seemed to have expected this. He said with a pleasant expression,"You want to become my disciple?"
The Monkey King hurriedly said," I have traveled across the sea to seek the Dao for six years without success. Today, I have met Bodhisattva. It is fate. Please accept me."”
Manjushri said,"You do have an immortal destiny, but I'm not your master."”
The Monkey King's heart skipped a beat." Bodhisattva, please enlighten me?" he asked.”
Manjushri looked towards the far north and said,""Mount Innerheart is free to be your master.”
"Thank you, Bodhisattva," the Monkey King hurriedly kowtowed.”
Manjushri said,"This Penniless Monk has revealed the secrets of heaven. Our fate has ended. I hope you will take care of yourself."”Without waiting for the Monkey King to reply, the indigo lion stepped on the auspicious cloud and rose higher and higher. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a five-colored ray of light and disappeared into the distance.
The Monkey King bowed again. According to the guidance of the Bodhisattva, his immortal destiny should be at Mount Innerheart. Once this problem was solved, the joy he felt was indescribable. He had gone through so much hardship and finally saw hope today. Unknowingly, tears began to flow out of his eyes. He also remembered that Ao Xin and Thirty Niangs were in Lion's Mouth Cave. He hoped that nothing would go wrong and that Jin Zha would be able to save them safely.
