Chapter 230 Determination, Patience and Confidence
On Mount Hua.

The time agarwood spends inside is different from the time outside.

This is the formation set up by Erlang Shen. In the time it takes for Chenxiang to stick of incense outside, several months have passed inside.

Sun Wukong looked at Chenxiang’s hard work on the screen and said with emotion:

“My Lord, Chenxiang is really a very patient guy.”

“This level of patience is much better than many people.”

If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t have the patience to memorize these five thousand books.

Even Sun Wukong doesn’t have the patience to do it.

Of course, if I ask my master to come, five thousand books will be no problem at all.

In just a few months, he could recite five thousand books by heart.

“Well, he is not only patient, but also determined.”

“In order to rescue his mother, even if Erlang Shen gave him 50,000 books, Chenxiang would be able to memorize them all.”

Sun Wukong nodded in agreement.

It can be said that everyone in the Three Realms knows that Chenxiang wants to save his mother.

Of course, everyone knew it, but no one took it seriously.

How could anyone possibly care about what a young boy says?

Chenxiang had no magical powers, nor did he have any important people to support him. Moreover, he was against the Heavenly Court, so everyone just thought he was acting on impulse.

After calming down, Chenxiang was able to realize how simple his thoughts were.

If you go against the Heavenly Court, unless you have outstanding abilities, you will not have a good ending.

Let’s not talk about the distant ones, just take Sun Wukong and Yang Jian for example.

Sun Wukong is very powerful and can go against the Heavenly Court, but nothing can happen to them.

Now he has become the Fighting and Victory Buddha in the Western Paradise of Buddhism.

Yang Jian is also very capable, and his uncle is the Jade Emperor.

After going against the Heavenly Court, he now becomes Erlang Shen, the Heavenly God of Justice.

They are all powerful, and only by going against the Heavenly Court can there be a good ending.

Heaven is too lazy to take action against those who do not have the strength to go against them.

If Chenxiang had the ability, he would definitely get a lot of support if he went against the Heavenly Court.

Time flies by.

Not long after passing outside, Chenxiang had already been in Erlang Shen’s formation for nearly thirty years.

For thirty years, Chenxiang didn’t eat or drink, and didn’t even change his clothes.

Even a beard grew.

Chenxiang put down the last book and said:
“Erlang Shen, please come out.”

“I have already broken through this level!”

Erlang Shen’s voice came out:

“Have you memorized all of it?”

Chen Xiang said proudly:
“Not bad!”

“Leave every word out!”

Erlang Shen asked:
“What’s on the ninth line of the eighth page of the third book in the first row from the left?”

Chenxiang said without hesitation:
“Going Out to the Frontier” by Shang Yang, a representative figure of the Legalist school.”

“The kingly way has a rope, the kingly way has one end, and the ministerial way has another end.”

“The ways are different, but the rules are the same.”

Just as he finished speaking, Erlang Shen’s voice came out again.

“What’s on the thirteenth line on page 20 of the thirty-sixth book in the second row from the right?”

“The poem by Li Yu, the last ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty, goes: How much sorrow can one have? It is like a river of spring water flowing eastward.”

“Third row from the right, seventy-second book, page thirty-six, fourth line from the bottom.”

“In the Biography of King Wu, King Zhou of Shang said to Daji, ‘My beauty, are you in good health?'”

“Erlang Shen” randomly picked out a few books, and Chenxiang answered the questions one by one.

And Chenxiang answered very quickly without thinking at all.

It can be seen that Chenxiang remembers it very clearly.

Chenxiang has passed this level.

The surrounding scene changed and he appeared in Huashan again.

Chenxiang smiled complacently and continued walking inside.

Not long after walking away, Chenxiang saw Erlang Shen again.

“I didn’t expect you to pass this level.”

“But there is one thing that I find strange.”

“How could you, a person who hates reading, memorize these five thousand books?”

Chen Xiang folded his arms and said:

“Yes, that is 5,000 books after all, but as long as you have faith, patience and determination.”

“Even if there are 50,000 books, I can still memorize them.”

“Erlang Shen” said lightly:

“It seems that I made a mistake.”

Chen Xiang smiled and said:

“You did make a mistake.”

“My beard grows longer day by day, and I understand more and more truths day by day.”

“The more you understand, the happier you will be.”

After saying this, Chenxiang touched his beard.

“Hey? Where’s my beard?”

Chenxiang was very surprised.

How come my beard, which was so long before, is gone?
When “Erlang Shen” saw Chenxiang like this, he laughed happily.

I don’t know whether he was laughing at Chenxiang’s silly look, or was relieved that Chenxiang had memorized 5,000 books.

……

On the cloud.

Ye Jiangnan and Sun Wukong were looking at the screen very attentively.

suddenly!

A voice came from far away.

“Shangxian!”

“Brother!”

Ye Jiangnan and Sun Wukong looked over and saw Zhu Bajie riding a cloud and rushing towards them.

Zhu Bajie came up to the two of them and said with a smile:

“Shangxian, Senior Brother, what are you two looking at?”

Ye Jiangnan explained:

“Look at Chenxiang saving his mother.”

Ye Jiangnan motioned Zhu Bajie to look at the screen.

Zhu Bajie took a curious look and saw Chenxiang and Erlang Shen chatting.

“He wants to save his mother?”

“How can he save her?”

Zhu Bajie asked in confusion.

After saying this, he seemed to understand something and looked at Sun Wukong in an ambiguous way.

Zhu Bajie lowered his voice, got between Sun Wukong and Ye Jiangnan and asked:
“Brother, did you teach Chenxiang magic?”

“I knew you wouldn’t just sit there and do nothing.”

“hey-hey……”

Sun Wukong pushed Zhu Bajie away with disdain and said:
“Go! Go! Go!”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

“I promised the Jade Emperor that I would not teach Chenxiang magic.”

Zhu Bajie was a little confused after hearing this.

If that wasn’t the Chenxiang magic that my senior brother taught me, who else could have taught it?
Thinking of this, Zhu Bajie began to ponder.

He went over in his mind all the people he knew.

Let’s not talk about whether other people know agarwood or not.

Even if they know each other, why would they help Chenxiang and go against the Heavenly Court?

Sudden.

A name flashed through Zhu Bajie’s mind.

He turned his head to look at Ye Jiangnan and asked:
“Sir, is it you who taught me the Chenxiang magic?”

Ye Jiangnan said lightly:

“Do you think that’s possible?”

“I don’t know Chen Xiangsu, why would I teach him magic?”

After listening to Ye Jiangnan’s words, Zhu Bajie became even more confused.

Since he was neither his senior brother nor an immortal, who could have taught Chenxiang magic?

“Who could have taught Chenxiang?”

Zhu Bajie muttered to himself.

Neither Ye Jiangnan nor Sun Wukong answered.

……

Inside Huashan.

“Chenxiang, you got a great deal.”

“You spent three hours to finish reading a book that would take others thirty years to finish.”

Erlang Shinto.

“Three hours?!”

Chenxiang looked at Erlang Shen in surprise.

He thought he had really been in there for thirty years.

Unexpectedly, he only stayed in there for three hours.

Erlang Shen said:

“Not bad!”

“You have entered an illusory space and time.”

“This level is designed by me with my determination, confidence and patience.” “Chenxiang, you have passed this level, and you also have determination, confidence and patience.”

“You can go see your mother now.”

After Erlang Shen finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Chenxiang was very excited.

He ran forward hurriedly.

There was an iron gate in front. After Erlang Shen disappeared, the iron gate slowly opened.

Chenxiang stood there, staring blankly at the Three Holy Mothers sitting on the stone platform.

When the Third Holy Mother saw Chenxiang, her originally stiff face began to smile happily.

The lifeless eyes were now filled with light.

Her face was like a blooming flower.

She looks very beautiful when she smiles at this moment.

Chen Xiang rushed over, stood on the edge, and shouted excitedly:

“mother……”

Two lines of tears flowed from his eyes, which had never shed tears.

“Agarwood…”

The Third Holy Mother also shouted excitedly.

She hasn’t seen her son for more than ten years.

The last time I saw her was when Chenxiang was just born.

Although they hadn’t seen each other for more than ten years, San Shengmu could still recognize Chenxiang as soon as she saw him.

The Third Holy Mother stood up happily, and looking at Chenxiang who was not far away from her, she stretched out her hand and wanted to touch his face.

As soon as she stretched out her hand, the Third Holy Mother was stopped by an invisible magical force.

The energy emitted by the magic power caused the Three Holy Mothers to fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Chen Xiang said:

“Mom, I have broken Erlang Shen’s mechanism. I will rescue you now!”

The Third Holy Mother said hurriedly:

“Chenxiang, you can’t save your mother!”

Chen Xiang thought that the Third Holy Mother did not know the power of his cultivation, so he explained:
“Mom, I learned some magic. Now I can fight Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong, and I can handle a few moves.”

“I can definitely use my magic power to make the beam of light in front of you disappear!”

The Third Holy Mother shook her head slightly.

“Chenxiang, give up.”

“It’s not that easy.”

The Third Holy Mother knew how powerful the column of light that trapped her was.

“Mom, it’s OK!”

“You believe me!”

After Chenxiang finished speaking, his magic power flowed to his hands.

“Mom, I’m here to save you!”

Chenxiang flew out and headed towards the Three Holy Mothers.

The magic power in his body was concentrated in his hands.

When he arrived in front of the light column, Chenxiang clapped his palms fiercely, and his magic power went towards the light column.

“boom–“

The magic power in Chenxiang’s body was like a raging flood colliding with the column of light.

The beam of light emitted dull sounds one after another.

The Three Holy Mothers in the light column felt very uncomfortable because of the dull sound.

“what……”

“Agarwood…”

The Third Holy Mother covered her head and lay on the ground in unbearable pain.

Chenxiang was in the void, and seeing his mother in so much pain, he felt very uncomfortable.

“Mom… just bear with it!”

Chenxiang’s sweat fell drop by drop.

“Mom… just bear with it, I will definitely rescue you.”

Outside Huashan.

Ye Jiangnan, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie all felt the vibration outside Mount Huashan.

The whole Huashan Mountain was shaking, and rubble was rolling down the mountain.

“Chenxiang is still so naive.”

Sun Wukong said speechlessly.

“It’s not that easy to save his mother!”

Zhu Bajie gently pushed Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong turned his head to look at Zhu Bajie in confusion and asked:

“Stupid, what do you want to do?”

Zhu Bajie looked at Chenxiang on the screen and whispered:

“Brother Monkey, how about we go help Chenxiang?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Wukong grabbed Zhu Bajie’s big ears.

“I say, idiot, are you really stupid or foolish?”

“What do you do for him?”

“What’s your reason for helping him?”

“When the time comes, when the Jade Emperor comes to question you, you will say that you are Chenxiang’s master, and that he couldn’t bear to watch it anymore, so he offered to help?”

“Do you think your reason is tenable?”

“If you want help, go and help yourself.”

“Anyway, I, Old Sun, won’t help!”

After saying that, Sun Wukong pushed Zhu Bajie aside and ignored him.

“Hey, hey, hey, brother…”

Zhu Bajie ignored the pain in his ear and continued to move forward.

“If you keep saying that, I will kick you down!”

Sun Wukong raised his foot as if he was going to kick someone.

Zhu Bajie was startled and quickly hid behind Ye Jiangnan.

“Goddess, save me!”

Ye Jiangnan said speechlessly:

“Stop messing around, both of you.”

“Look at Chenxiang, this kid can’t hold on any longer.”

As soon as Ye Jiangnan finished speaking, Chenxiang was blown away by the beam of light on the screen.

“what……”

Chenxiang bumped into the stone wall behind him and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Agarwood!”

The Third Holy Mother looked at her son worriedly.

“Chenxiang…you don’t have to save me, don’t worry about me!”

The Third Holy Mother lay on the stone platform, staring at a pale face and said.

The collision between the light column and Chenxiang’s magic power just now made her, who was trapped in the light column, feel very uncomfortable.

Chen Xiang struggled to get up and wiped the blood off his lips:

“Mom…I must rescue you!”

“I must…save you!”

“what!”

Chenxiang concentrated all his magical power in his hands, suddenly stood up and pounced towards the column of light.

“Bam—”

The beam of light directly bounced Chenxiang away.

This time it is even more powerful than before.

The Third Holy Mother was also disturbed. Her head hurt more and more, and her face became paler than before.

Chenxiang hit the stone wall again.

Unlike before, this time Chenxiang directly smashed the stone wall.

As the agarwood fell to the ground, the rubble also rolled down.

The moment Chenxiang raised his strength and struck back, breaking the beam of light, the entire Huashan Mountain began to tremble even more violently than before.

It was as if the whole mountain was about to collapse.

“My goodness, this is such a big commotion, the Jade Emperor and the others must have known about it!”

Sun Wukong said as he scratched his hairy hand.

“Of course! That old Jade Emperor is not deaf, how could he not hear such a loud noise!”

Zhu Bajie echoed.

Inside Huashan.

The Third Holy Mother covered her head with her hands in pain and wailed on the stone platform.

“Ah…ah…”

Chenxiang lay on the ground, blood spurting out of his mouth.

“Ah…how could it be…ah…how could it be…”

Chenxiang looked ahead with lifeless eyes and kept muttering to himself.

heaven.

The Jade Emperor frowned and said:

“My dear ministers, did you all hear the noise just now?”

Taibai Jinxing and the others looked at each other, and then said in unison:
“Your Majesty, we heard everything.”

The Jade Emperor asked:

“Does any of you know where this noise comes from?”

When the Jade Emperor asked this, everyone didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

They don’t have the ability to see and hear far away, so how can they know where the sound comes from?
