Chapter 400: Chapter 391 Universal Salvation for the White-Furred Mouse Spirit_2

Just then, a dense Buddha’s light erupted from Xuanzang, and a strong force spread out.

It directly repelled the White-Furred Mouse Spirit.

Bang!

The White-Furred Mouse Spirit slammed into the wall.

She looked at Xuanzang before her with disbelief.

She was certain this was Xuanzang, and she had sealed all his mana, yet now he could still unleash such formidable power.

"You, you, how is this possible!"

The White-Furred Mouse Spirit pointed at Xuanzang with a hint of surprise.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Xuanzang brought his palms together and slowly said to the White-Furred Mouse Spirit, "After the last incident, Wukong anticipated that I might again be captured by you, so he left some mana within me!"

"It would break through the seal in case of an emergency!"

The Gold-Nosed White-Haired Mouse Spirit consuming the monks of Jinghai Temple was simply to attract the attention of Sun Wukong and the others, which naturally Sun Wukong understood.

It was nothing more than her strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain, and her true target was Xuanzang. It would be foolish not to make any preparations.

However, when Sun Wukong proposed to capture the demon, it was also his time to turn the tables, and it was an opportunity to capture this Rat Spirit and prevent future troubles.

Therefore, before Sun Wukong left, he spoke with Xuanzang.

Xuanzang naturally was not afraid, with the power to break the seal of the White-Furred Mouse Spirit.

Thus, he still stayed in the room, waiting for the White-Furred Mouse Spirit to fall into the trap.

The White-Furred Mouse Spirit indeed fell for it, capturing Xuanzang again, but this time the monster apparently ran out of patience, no longer continuing to romance and make merry with Xuanzang.

Instead, she decided to directly take a forceful approach, to extract Xuanzang’s Yang Essence, and it was precisely the Rat Spirit’s hurry that triggered the power Sun Wukong had left within him.

Xuanzang seized the unprepared demon and managed to injure the White-Furred Mouse Spirit.

Xuanzang brought his palms together, emitting a golden light from his body.

The Power of Universal Salvation spread out, directly enveloping the White-Furred Mouse Spirit.

The White-Furred Mouse Spirit could have resisted, but she was caught off guard by the injury and enveloped by Buddha’s light.

At this moment, the monster energy of the White-Furred Mouse Spirit began to weaken gradually.

She could only resist in front of her.

Her facial expression was full of endless struggle.

Even her breathing began to get difficult.

"Will you not convert swiftly!"

Xuanzang bellowed, and behind him, a vortex appeared with countless Buddha’s shadows converging within it.

Now, the expression on the White-Furred Mouse Spirit’s face continually shifted from fierce to remorseful, and then from remorseful back to fierce.

Her expression was ever-changing.

The demon couldn’t help but let out a piercing shriek, her body trembling violently, emitting a faint white light.

A flash of light burst forth, and the White-Furred Mouse Spirit immediately revealed her true form, becoming a giant Gold-Nosed White-Furred Rat.

The Gold-Nosed White-Haired Mouse Spirit trembled incessantly, making squeaking noises with her mouth.

The White-Furred Mouse Spirit forcibly resisted, while Xuanzang struck not lightly. Although it seemed nothing on the surface, the Rat Spirit’s Primordial Spirit had suffered severe damage, so severe that it could no longer maintain a human form, which is why she reverted to her original form.

However, as her Primordial Spirit was gravely injured, the White-Furred Mouse Spirit gradually calmed down, and despite bearing the face of a rat, it displayed compassion.

A moment later, the White-Furred Mouse Spirit transformed back into a woman, but now she was filled with an air of compassion.

"Amitabha Buddha, the past is like smoke, master Xuanzang!"

The White-Furred Mouse Spirit brought her palms together, showing a face of repentance.

Xuanzang looked at the unstable White-Furred Mouse Spirit and calmly said, "You should now understand, even as a demon, one cannot live in peace and longevity!"

"All that has passed is over, and I believe you will surely become an Immortal in the future!"

The White-Furred Mouse Spirit nodded, then said, "Master Xuanzang, let me escort you out. To have targeted you three times!"

"It’s fine, as long as you can calmly comprehend the Buddhist Law in the future, everything is still retrievable!"

Xuanzang nodded his head.

The White-Furred Mouse Spirit nodded respectfully.

...

At this moment, Sun Wukong, along with Zhu Bajie and Sand Monk, came to the Bottomless Cave once again, and had just arrived at the entrance.

Before they could descend, they heard a series of loud booms from below, and then the whole Trap Empty Mountain began to shake violently, like an earthquake.

Zhu Bajie was scared out of his wits and hurriedly said, "What has that White-Furred Mouse Spirit done to Master to cause such a big commotion?"

Sun Wukong also showed a face full of confusion, his brow deeply furrowed, unable to understand what was happening for the moment.

However, at this time Sand Monk couldn’t help but become anxious and quickly said, "No matter what’s happening, we’d better go down quickly. If we’re too late, maybe Master’s life will be in danger."

"Wait!" Sun Wukong urgently stopped the two of them, peered into the cave, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Excitedly, he exclaimed, "Someone’s coming up."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie and Sand Monk quickly raised their weapons, ready to fight.

Seeing the two men’s actions, Sun Wukong frowned and hurriedly said, "What are you doing? Put your weapons away, it’s Master who’s come up."

"Master?" Sand Monk said in a daze, "Wasn’t Master captured by that demon? How could he come out so easily?"

"Exactly, unless that demon has had a change of heart, but is that possible?"

Zhu Bajie asked with the same look of confusion.

Sun Wukong hurriedly explained, "What do you know, as long as Master has converted that Rat Spirit with the Universal Salvation Dharma, then naturally it’s possible."

"Convert? How could that Rat Spirit easily release our Master and let Master convert her!"

Zhu Bajie naturally didn’t believe, unless the Rat Spirit was seeking its own death.

Before Sun Wukong could explain further, two figures had already flown out of the cave.

These two were none other than Xuanzang and the White-Furred Mouse Spirit.

"Master, you’ve really come out!"

Sand Monk said with surprise and joy, relieved to see that Xuanzang was unharmed!

Zhu Bajie then shouted loudly, "You demon, coming here again and again to cause trouble, in my opinion, such harmful demons should be smacked to death with a rake to settle things once and for all, sparing the trouble of this White-Furred Mouse Spirit causing harm everywhere."

Grinning, Sand Monk said, "Second Senior Brother, didn’t you see that Master has already performed Universal Salvation? Since he has, shouldn’t we give her a chance to reform?"

"That’s right, and she has some affiliation with the Celestial Immortals in Heaven. Who knows, maybe she could be of some use in the future!"

Sun Wukong also nodded and said.

Zhu Bajie sighed and then seemed to remember something, asking, "Master has now subdued the White-Furred Mouse Spirit, but what was the commotion just now all about?"

Xuanzang said with a smile, "Since she can no longer harm people here, I had her destroy her own Bottomless Cave, to prevent this place from becoming a gathering spot for demons."

"Well done!" Zhu Bajie shouted in approval.

Xuanzang nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Now that things here are settled, we should return to Jinghai Temple as soon as possible!"

Laughing, Sun Wukong said, "We will follow Master’s instructions."

Afterwards, the four of them rode the clouds and fog back to Jinghai Temple.

As for the White-Furred Mouse Spirit, she was in the wilderness, sensing the breath of the Great Dao.

Outside, dawn was breaking. Laughing, Sun Wukong said, "The day is breaking, Master has been ill these past few days and hasn’t eaten much, naturally he’s hungry. Old Sun will go now to prepare vegetarian meals for Master, please wait a moment."

Having said that, Sun Wukong turned to Zhu Bajie and said, "Fool, what are you standing around for? Master’s hungry, aren’t you going to prepare vegetarian meals for Master?"

"Why should it be me?"

Zhu Bajie asked discontentedly, but seeing Sun Wukong’s eyes change, the idiot shivered all over with fright and quickly changed his tune, "I’ll go prepare the vegetarian meals right away."

With that, he skedaddled away.

Once he was out the door, Zhu Bajie began cursing, "That damn Pilgrim, cursed Macaque, only knows how to boss Old Zhu around, taking advantage of Old Zhu’s good nature."

Although Zhu Bajie cursed merrily, he didn’t dare to defy Sun Wukong. This foolish pig feared Sun Wukong above all.

Zhu Bajie came to the kitchen in a huff, just in time to see a few Little Monks busily rinsing rice and chopping wood, preparing to cook. So, feeling quite self-important, he said, "You little monks, my Master has just recovered from a serious illness and needs nourishment. Immediately prepare five tables of vegetarian feasts for us and bring them to our Meditation Room, and be quick about it."

The Little Monks dared not disobey and could only agree hastily.
