385: Causes and consequences

When Red Boy clutched his head and crouched on the ground wailing, he finally realized his current situation!

"My... wasn't my Physical Body occupied by some ghost-like guy? Why am I... uh, wait, is this my Sea of Consciousness? Am I in my Sea of Consciousness? I... I'm not dead yet?"

Red Boy finally jumped up again, but he quickly glanced at the displeased Tang Ku. Covering his face with one hand and his ears with the other, he pouted and said, "Holy Monk, you can't hit me anymore... it'll cost me my life!"

"Oh, so you've finally stopped calling me a bald donkey?"

Tang Ku narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.

"Hehe, of course I can't call you... that thing anymore!"

Red Boy hurriedly corrected himself, "I heard from the Bodhisattva long ago that after you obtained the true scriptures, the Buddha would bestow a Buddha position upon you. I wonder if you have achieved enlightenment?"

"If I hadn't achieved enlightenment, would you still be able to stand here and talk to me?"

Tang Ku said, "Hurry up and tell me the cause and effect of you being trapped in your Sea of Consciousness. People are waiting for me to save them outside!"

Red Boy was stunned, then immediately exclaimed in alarm, "Bald... that Holy Monk... my parents... are my parents okay?"

"Hehe, they're fine, of course they're fine! But if you don't explain to me clearly what happened, that might change!"

Tang Ku smiled.

"What happened... hmm... it was him..."

Red Boy seemed to have just recognized the Ghost King's identity and exclaimed in shock, "It was him and an old man who conspired to seize my Physical Body... They even used my parents' lives to threaten me, saying that as long as I voluntarily gave up my Physical Body, they would let them go... That old man... that old man is terrifying, his strength is very high. I couldn't even block one of his moves..."

"Later, they entered my Sea of Consciousness, tore me to pieces, and sealed my head somewhere in the Sea of Consciousness..."

"Hmm, according to their conversation, if my soul really disappeared, this body would lose its purpose. So they had to keep my soul alive, but they couldn't let me fully regain consciousness..."

"So that's how it is..."

Tang Ku glared at the Ghost King and said, "What do you say? Why are you able to wield the power of Law while using Red Boy's body? And what is that bone implanted in the body?"

The Ghost King smiled bitterly: "That... I don't know what that thing is. I only know that Darwin went to great lengths to find it, saying that as long as I transplanted this thing, I would possess attack power comparable to a Saint... I..."

"A generation of kings, and you have the brain of a pig? You believe whatever he says, is that it?"

Tang Ku said, feeling depressed.

The Bei Mang Mountain Ghost King smiled rather awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

"Alright, I'll take you two out now... uh..."

Glancing at the Ghost King, Tang Ku suddenly became troubled.

A body can only have one consciousness, otherwise, it will become disordered. If he brought both of their souls out of the Sea of Consciousness at the same time, it would definitely cause a huge conflict.

"Ho... Holy Monk, you promised me that you wouldn't... wouldn't kill me!"

The Ghost King said nervously.

"I have a way!"

Tang Ku suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. Hmm, you two, just follow my Buddha light..."

As he spoke, Tang Ku walked forward without looking back. Although the two people behind him were enemies, they were both equally confused at this moment. After all, a place like the Sea of Consciousness is not something you can just enter or leave as you please, especially other people's Sea of Consciousness, which is a Forbidden Ground for foreign souls. But in Tang Ku's words, it felt like strolling through his own backyard.

Golden light shone into their eyes, and the two almost subconsciously followed Tang Ku's back as they walked forward.

Bang!

Tang Ku suddenly jumped up, his eyes full of helplessness, but what met his eyes were the hopeful gazes of the Bull Demon King and his wife.

"Sorry, wait a moment..."

Tang Ku suddenly grabbed hard at the air, and a little bit of golden light was caught in his hand. Then, he used the Sleeve Universe to directly store it in his sleeve!

But when he turned to look at Red Boy, who was still unconscious, he couldn't help but frown slightly. After a long while, he said, "What went wrong here?"

The Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan looked at each other, just about to say something, when Tang Ku suddenly grabbed Red Boy and carried him on his shoulder. At this moment, Red Boy was still in that strange state of the Ghost King, looking quite bizarre.

"Holy Monk... just now your Disciples said that something happened in Chang'an, and they have already returned... Erlang Shen just encountered a powerful enemy and was lured away by him. We couldn't stop them at all..."

The Bull Demon King said in a deep voice, "That guy is very strong. In terms of strength, he seems to be no less than Darwin!"

"No less than Darwin?"

Tang Ku couldn't help but frown slightly. "Among the current enemies, it seems only Tesla has this kind of power... Hmm, with Erlang Shen's strength, he shouldn't be defeated. It's better to take care of the immediate priority first... Hmm, Niu Mowang, I will take Red Boy with me for now. His soul is still relatively intact, but for some reason, there are no signs of him waking up at all. So I have to take him to find Ksitigarbha, to see how to wake him up. Don't worry, he will be fine!"

Saying this, Tang Ku bid farewell to the Bull Demon King and his wife and flew towards Chang'an City. As soon as he entered the city, he noticed something. Upon arriving at the palace and hearing what Li Shimin said, he quickly understood what had happened. Only then did he forcibly enter Li Chengqian's dream and tell them his guess.

After waking up from that dream world, he told Ksitigarbha his guess and also recounted Red Boy's experience.

"I roughly know what's going on..."

Ksitigarbha frowned slightly. "But... but I don't have a way to treat him... Sorry to disappoint you. I have already scanned his body with Buddha light just now. His physical condition is completely normal, and even his soul has almost no damage. I really can't think of a way to wake him up..."

Everyone frowned. However, most of the people present were not cultivators. Even a master of mechanism arts like Yuan Tiangang, or a Medicine King like Sun Simiao, could not think of a way to wake him up.

And just when everyone was at a loss, an object suddenly fell from the sky. It was none other than the Brick that had just been flying with Ksitigarbha.

Seeing this guy showing a very painful expression, retching on the ground...

Tang Ku didn't understand and frowned, "What kind of trick are you playing again? Did you eat something bad from overeating?"

"Gulu..."

The Brick couldn't help but open its big mouth and retched violently. Immediately after, a palm-sized purple-gold box suddenly fell out of its mouth. It grew larger and larger amidst the brilliant golden light, and then with a bang, it exploded. A familiar figure wearing a Daoist robe appeared before their eyes, stretching and saying, "Hmm... finally done..."
