The Great Sage is Coming, Mother is Actually The White Bone Spirit – Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Taishang Laojun Arrives

“Spare me! Don’t squeeze me anymore, I’m about to be burned to death!”

The three great mountains surrounded the Silver Horned King, and as the mountains continued to compress the space, the sea of fire released by the Silver Horned King had all concentrated into a ball, enveloping him.

Bai Ze shouted, “Throw out the Banana Leaf Fan, and I’ll spare your life!”

Upon hearing that voice, the Silver Horned King dared not hesitate and quickly threw out the Banana Leaf Fan.

Bai Ze, riding the yellow ox, galloped wildly, making a ‘da da da’ sound in the sky, heading straight for the thrown Banana Leaf Fan. Bai Ze flicked out a Luo Zu silk thread, entangling the Banana Leaf Fan from afar, and obtained it.

Throw it into the Hong Gou World!

“Hoo…”

After doing all this, Bai Ze wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, finally collecting all five magical items. He just needed to get past Taishang Laojun’s hurdle.

The Silver Horned King was relying on the Banana Leaf Fan to act fiercely. Now that he had lost the fan, the mountain gods no longer pressed him.

The three mountain gods came before Sun Wukong, bowed to him, and then left together.

After the mountain gods withdrew, the fire also extinguished. The Silver Horned King lay on the ground in a sorry state, his whole body charred.

Sha Wujing, carrying the Golden Horned King, threw him together with the Silver Horned King, and then bound them with the Binding Immortal Rope.

Although the Binding Immortal Rope was not a divine artifact for tracking and binding immortals like the Shaking Gold Rope, it could block the meridians, making it difficult to break free once bound.

This tribulation of the Journey to the West pilgrimage group could be considered over.

“Esteemed Elders, please be merciful.”

Suddenly, an old man wearing a Bagua robe, holding a fly-whisk, and riding a Great Green Ox floated down from the sky.

Who else could it be but Taishang Laojun?

Sun Wukong said, “Old fellow, what are you doing here?”

Taishang Laojun smiled, “Hehe, Great Sage, please don’t kill them. These two demons are my immortal attendants. They took advantage of my inattention and stole five of my magical items to cause trouble in the mortal realm. I will take them back and severely punish them. Great Sage, please don’t blame them.”

Sun Wukong said, “Since they are Old Lord’s immortal attendants, then I, Old Sun, will naturally give you face. Old Lord, please take your immortal attendants back.”

Taishang Laojun, riding the Green Ox, descended to the ground. With a flick of his fly-whisk, the ropes binding the demons loosened, and the two demons transformed into two attendants.

They were the two immortal attendants who usually helped him tend the elixir furnace.

Taishang Laojun took a step forward, “Where are my five magical items? Bring them along and return to the Heavenly Court with me.”

“……”

When Old Lord asked about the five magical items, both immortal attendants showed troubled expressions.

The Golden Attendant said, “Master, Master, the magical items were lost by your disciples.”

“What?”

Taishang Laojun’s eyebrows twitched. Taishang Laojun had refined countless magical items in his life, so he naturally did not lack them. However, Sage magical items were not ordinary magical items.

Each Sage magical item required a large amount of resources and effort to refine.

Although Taishang Laojun was the number one magical item refining master in the Three Realms, with more magical items than anyone else, he only had nine Sage magical items.

To lose five at once, it was strange that Taishang Laojun didn’t feel any pain.

Taishang Laojun said, “You two little troublemakers, how did my five magical items get lost?”

The Silver Attendant pointed at Bai Ze, “They were stolen by him.”

Taishang Laojun frowned as he looked at the child. The child was fair and clean, with a handsome and elegant appearance. However, he seemed to have an imperial aura?

And not just one type of imperial aura. He seemed to have both the Heavenly Emperor’s and the Human Emperor’s auras, and the Human Emperor’s aura was even stronger.

Taishang Laojun looked down again and saw that he was riding a golden yellow ox. Taishang Laojun recognized at a glance that it was the Golden Ox Star.

Taishang Laojun came before Bai Ze and pondered slightly, “I heard that the Princess recently seized a body and gave birth to a child. That should be you, right?”

The child very obediently said, “It is me, Old Grandfather. May I ask if you have any magical items you want to give me?”

Taishang Laojun was immediately choked by the child’s words. This little fellow had already taken five of my magical items and was still not satisfied, wanting more of my magical items?

This was the Jade Emperor’s grandson. Giving him one or two handy magical items was only right, but Sage magical items were not given out casually.

Besides, who would take five at once?

Taishang Laojun said, “You little brat, you stole my magical items and still ask me for more? Quickly take out my five magical items!”

Bai Ze spread his hands, “I didn’t steal them.”

Taishang Laojun said, “Nonsense! My two immortal attendants said you stole them, how can you say you didn’t steal my magical items?”

Bai Ze said, “Perhaps your immortal attendants lost the magical items and, fearing your punishment, deliberately blamed it on me?”

The Golden Attendant said, “You’re talking nonsense! You were the one who stole them. You first transformed into a little demon and used a dry twig to trick away the Purple Gold Gourd and the Mutton Fat White Jade Bottle.

After that, you disguised yourself as Ba Shan Hu and went to Ya Long Old Mother to trick away the Shaking Gold Rope.

◈◈◈

Then, you disguised yourself as Ya Long Old Mother, tricking us into calling you Godmother repeatedly, and stole the Seven Star Sword while we were drunk.

Finally, when my second brother was trapped by the three mountain gods, he had to abandon the Banana Leaf Fan, and you took the opportunity to snatch it away.

All the magical items are on you!”

The Silver Horned King also said, “Master, help us teach him a lesson, help us teach this magical item thief a lesson.”

Taishang Laojun said, “See? My two immortal attendants both said you stole my magical items.”

Bai Ze laughed, “What a joke! Everything in this world requires evidence. How can it be that if one person accuses another of being a thief, that person is automatically a thief?

Moreover, these two immortal attendants are your people, so they will naturally speak in your favor.”

Sun Wukong, not afraid of things escalating, said, “That’s right, Old Lord. You’re so old, you can’t bully the young.

You accuse this little brother of stealing your magical items, you should at least produce some evidence.”

Taishang Laojun said, “What’s so difficult about that? Watch me find the magical items. If I find them on him, let’s see what else he has to say.”

So, Taishang Laojun released his divine sense, searching Bai Ze’s entire body.

In just a moment, Bai Ze was seen through completely. He did not have the five magical items on him. That Hong Gou World was not here, and Old Lord probably wouldn’t have thought of it.

Taishang Laojun frowned slightly. Could it be that he hid them elsewhere?

Taishang Laojun released his thoughts, instantly covering the entire Pingding Mountain.

However, there was still no trace of the five magical items!

He continued to release his divine sense, covering a hundred miles, a thousand miles, ten thousand miles, even covering the entire mortal realm, but still, there was no trace of his magical items.

“Hiss…”

Taishang Laojun gasped, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

He quickly stretched out his fingers to perform a calculation. As he continued to deduce, the Taiji Bagua on his body also kept changing positions.

Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Gen, Xun, Dui.

Taishang Laojun’s Bagua deduction technique was the best in the Three Realms, no one dared to claim second place. However, after repeatedly calculating for a long time, he could not find the location of the five magical items.

“Could it be that a Sage is helping to conceal their aura?”

Taishang Laojun muttered to himself. Unless a Sage could evade his eyes, but now even the Bagua deduction could not find them, it was strange.

The Bagua index was not for detecting aura, but for deduction, deducing the trajectory of all things.

But the five magical items seemed to have disappeared into thin air, beyond the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements.

“This…”

Taishang Laojun was greatly shocked.

The Golden Attendant said, “How is it, Master? Did you find out that he is a magical item thief?”

The Silver Attendant said, “Master, he made us suffer so much. You must avenge us.”

Bai Ze laughed, “Old Lord, did you find any evidence that I stole your magical items?”

Taishang Laojun said, “What kind of method did you use to steal and hide my magical items?”

Bai Ze spread his hands again, “I already said it wasn’t me who stole them. It was your two immortal attendants who lost the magical items and deliberately framed me.”

Taishang Laojun pondered for a moment, thinking that Bai Ze was the Jade Emperor’s grandson, he said, “How about this, little child? You return the five magical items to me, and then I will let you choose any one of them.

That’s a very generous offer, right?

Those are Sage magical items. Even Bajie’s Nine-Toothed Rake and Sha Wujing’s Demon-Subduing Staff are only superior spiritual treasures.”

Among the Journey to the West pilgrimage group, apart from the magical items that Tathagata gave to Tang Sanzang, only Wukong’s Golden Hoop Rod was a Sage magical item.

That was the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle of the Human Emperor Yu.

Bai Ze was determined to hide the five magical items, “Why are you so unreasonable, old man? I already said I didn’t take your magical items, but you insist I did.

Old man, accusing someone of stealing requires evidence. You just used your divine sense to search for the magical items’ aura and didn’t find them.

You used the Bagua deduction technique to deduce and didn’t find them either.

Now, just based on your words, you say I stole your five magical items. This is a great injustice.”

Sun Wukong said, “That’s right, Old Lord. You say this little brother took your magical items, you should at least produce some evidence.”

Zhu Bajie said, “I don’t think it was Little Brother Bai Ze who took them. It was your two immortal attendants who lost them.”

Sha Wujing said, “Yes, it was your immortal attendants who lost them.”

Tang Sanzang clasped his hands, “A monk does not speak falsely, Amitabha.”
