Chapter 122 I died so easily?!
When Chen Yi opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find himself in a completely unfamiliar room.
His mind was filled with questions: Where was he? Did Sun Wukong bring him here? Were the three demons subdued?
Filled with suspicion, Chen Yi gently pushed open the slightly quaint door and stepped out.
In an instant, a stunning scene unfolded before his eyes—a vibrant and colorful sea of flowers, each vying for attention, spread out like a scroll painting.
The flowers were vibrant and beautiful, emitting a captivating fragrance.
Chen Yi was captivated by the beautiful scenery of the flower sea, but after only a moment, he came back to his senses and began to look around, searching for the figures of his three familiar disciples.
However, to his dismay, no matter how hard he looked around, he couldn't see any trace of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, or Sha Wujing.
"Great Sage!" Chen Yi shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing through the empty flower field.
But apart from the rustling sound of the breeze through the flowers, there was no other response.
"Bajie! Wujing! Where are you?!"
Chen Yi refused to give up and continued to call out loudly, hoping to get even the slightest response from them.
But the result was still disappointing; his shouts seemed to sink into the sea, disappearing without a trace.
And so, Chen walked and shouted, his steps never stopping as he anxiously scanned every inch of the land around him.
Time passed by, and he gradually felt exhausted, but his inner unease grew stronger.
Finally, when Chen Yi was panting and exhausted, he stopped helplessly, plopped down on a large rock by the roadside, hung his head, and looked utterly dejected.
Just then, a soft and gentle voice suddenly rang out above his head.
"Are you ok?"
Chen Yi looked up in surprise, following the direction from which the sound came.
A handsome young man dressed in a snow-white robe stood quietly before them, a faint smile on his lips.
Chen was instantly stunned by the boy's otherworldly appearance and stood there dumbfounded.
It took him a while to recover from his astonishment, and he asked with a puzzled look, "Who are you...?"
Faced with Chen Yi's question, the boy simply smiled and did not answer directly. Instead, he said softly, "Come with me, and I will tell you everything you want to know."
After saying that, he turned and walked back the way he came.
Watching the boy's receding figure, Chen Yi frowned and hesitated for a moment.
In the end, curiosity overcame fear, and he gritted his teeth, stood up, and quickly caught up with the boy.
……
"Benefactor Chen, please have a seat." The young man poured Chen Yi a cup of tea.
Chen Yi obediently sat down, holding his teacup and staring curiously at the boy.
The young man smiled and introduced himself: "I am Jiang Liuer, formerly known as Tang Seng."
"What?! You're Tang Sanzang?!" Chen Yi's eyes widened in disbelief.
His body instantly stiffened, as if struck by lightning. Chen Yi's mind went blank, leaving only one thought: It's over! He's taken over someone else's body! The real owner has come knocking!
"I...I'm sorry! I...I really didn't mean to take over your body, I...I woke up and found myself inside you." Chen Yi stammered as he apologized.
Jiang Liuer slowly shook his head, then bowed deeply to Chen Yi.
“Benefactor Chen, it is I who should apologize. It was because of me that you came into this world.”
Chen Yi asked in shock, "Huh? I transmigrated here because of you?!"
Jiang Liuer nodded and began to explain in detail.
"Back then, I was ordered by Guanyin Bodhisattva to embark on a journey to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures. However, I encountered an unexpected event along the way, and a soul claiming to be from another world forcibly took over my body."
"I would rather die than submit, and perish with that soul jade. But my soul did not dissipate after death. I was saved by a mysterious entity called the 001 System. It was the system that gave me a body, which allowed me to be reborn."
Chen Yi frowned: "Could it be that the 001 system was behind my getting here?"
Jiang Liuer nodded slightly and replied softly, "What Benefactor Chen said is absolutely right. It was System 001 that summoned Benefactor Chen here."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's expression instantly changed, and he said in a deep voice, "I was perfectly fine in the modern world, why did that damn 001 drag me here?!"
Jiang Liuer quickly explained, "Please don't be angry, Benefactor Chen. 001 once said that you had already perished in the other world, and that you were summoned here to save your life."
Chen Yi looked on with suspicion: "If I'm dead, why did it save me? What's its purpose?"
He doesn't believe in free lunches!
Jiang Liuer raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "It is because Benefactor Chen is my reincarnation."
Upon hearing this, Chen was completely stunned: "What the heck?!"
Jiang Liuer continued unhurriedly, "In the past, my soul was restless and I was unable to continue my journey to the West to obtain the scriptures. So 001 brought Benefactor Chen here to complete the great task of obtaining the scriptures on my behalf."
“I know that this action is unworthy of Benefactor Chen, and I should not have forced Benefactor Chen to take my place. It is only because I foresaw that Benefactor Chen would suffer this calamity that I asked 001 to take action and save Benefactor Chen.”
"If Chen Shi has no objection, he may stay in the valley. Everything will return to normal, and I will continue my journey to the West to obtain the scriptures."
Hearing Jiang Liuer's words, Chen Yi was somewhat confused. What did he mean by this calamity?
Seeing the confusion in Chen Yi's eyes, Jiang Liuer gently explained, "Benefactor Chen was unconscious at the time and may not know that you were swallowed by that green lion in Lion Camel Ridge and have already died."
"It was 001 who saved Benefactor Chen's life."
"Benefactor Chen, haven't you realized that you now have a different body, yet your appearance is exactly the same as in your previous life?"
As Jiang Liuer spoke softly, she slowly handed the bronze mirror to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi took the bronze mirror with some doubt, and when his gaze fell on the face reflected in the mirror, he was both surprised and delighted!
The face in the mirror was exactly how he looked in modern society, except that his head was bald, making him look like a monk.
Although he was the reincarnation of Tang Sanzang, he was not like Tang Sanzang at all.
"No! What did you just say?! I...I'm already dead?!" Chen Yifang shouted as if waking from a dream.
"Oh my god! Am I really going to die like this?!"
Chen Yi's eyes widened, and he murmured in disbelief, "I just died so easily?"
“That’s right, Benefactor Chen, you did indeed pass away peacefully before, but thankfully, you’re alive again.” Jiang Liuer nodded solemnly, answering with a firm yet sincere tone.
Chen Yi: "..." You're quite humorous.
He was suddenly caught between a rock and a hard place, unsure whether to laugh or cry...
Jiang Liuer suddenly asked, "Benefactor Chen, do you wish to stay here or go elsewhere? Or perhaps you would like to travel with me to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures?"
Chen Yi shook his head, looking dejected, and said, "I don't know either..."
Everything happened so suddenly; he hadn't even recovered yet.
How did he die?
How did he become the reincarnation of Tang Sanzang?
Does that mean he won't have to go on the pilgrimage anymore? Although he was forced to go on the pilgrimage at the beginning, he accepted it later and was quite happy along the way.
And he... he was a little reluctant to part with his three disciples.
Jiang Liuer comforted him, "Benefactor Chen, don't rush to make a decision. Tell me your decision when you've thought it through."
Chen Yi looked conflicted and replied, "Okay, let me think about it."
"Good~"
