#2024 - Bodhi Mirror Array
Seeing Zhu Bajie display his strength and send those soldiers running with their tails between their legs, one would think the three princes of Yuhua Prefecture would be intimidated by such a lesson.
However, although the three princes were shocked, they were still not afraid and continued to yell at Tang Sanzang and his disciples.
"You demonic monks, what if you use your sorcery? We will never let you enter Yuhua Prefecture."
Zhu Bajie, hearing the three princes still being stubborn, was too lazy to waste words with them and directly reached out and summoned his Nine-Toothed Rake.
"If you don't open the city gate, Old Zhu will smash it to pieces!"
As Zhu Bajie spoke, he swung his Nine-Toothed Rake and struck at the city gate.
The Nine-Toothed Rake was a divine weapon, with its own weight reaching as high as five thousand pounds, coupled with Zhu Bajie's mighty swing.
Not to mention a city gate, even a small mountain would be flattened. With this strike, the city gate would undoubtedly be shattered.
With a loud bang.
The following situation, however, surprised everyone. The city gate was undamaged, but the rake in Zhu Bajie's hand was sent flying.
The whole person also took a few steps back, then sat down on the ground with a thud, crying out in pain.
"What kind of broken door is this? How is it so sturdy?"
Tang Sanzang couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Master, it's not that the city gate is sturdy, look closely!"
Sun Wukong seemed to have already discovered the clue, asking Tang Sanzang and the others to look carefully.
"So that's how it is."
At this time, everyone saw clearly that there was actually a layer of barrier on the city gate. Although it was only a faint layer, it was almost invisible if you didn't look closely.
However, the firmness of this barrier was extraordinary. Zhu Bajie's strike did not shake it in the slightest.
Seeing Zhu Bajie fail to destroy the city gate and instead fall on his butt, the three princes on the city gate immediately burst into laughter.
"Demonic monks, how is it? Do you still want to force your way into my Yuhua Prefecture?"
"My Yuhua Prefecture is protected by the Buddha. What can you demonic monks do?"
"If you have the ability, come in! If you don't, then get lost!"
The three princes arrogantly mocked Tang Sanzang and his disciples, behaving like ruffians despite being princes.
"You three brats, watch how Grandpa Sun teaches you a lesson later. Let me try."
The provocation of the three princes naturally made Tang Sanzang and his disciples very angry, especially Sun Wukong, who was already feeling impatient.
He asked everyone to step aside, took out his Golden Cudgel, and then, with both hands swinging, he leaped forward.
Although Sun Wukong was not forced back by the force like Zhu Bajie, he also failed to break the barrier.
His full-force strike only caused the barrier to shake slightly, but it was far from being broken.
"What a solid barrier, what a powerful formation."
This barrier was not only on the city gate, but covered the entire city of Yuhua Prefecture, like a giant net, covering Yuhua Prefecture within it.
Therefore, if Tang Sanzang and the others wanted to enter Yuhua Prefecture, they could only break the formation and open the barrier.
Sun Wukong's failure to break the formation made the three princes on the city wall even more fearless, and their words became even more unpleasant.
"Haha, don't overestimate yourselves, get out of here!"
"You demonic monks, wanting to pass through my Yuhua Prefecture is just wishful thinking."
"Maybe if you kneel down and beg us, we might consider taking pity on you."
The three princes' unpleasant words were even unbearable for Tang Sanzang to listen to.
"A mere formation, do you think it can protect you?"
After Tang Sanzang finished speaking, he turned to look at Chu Hao.
Chu Hao had been in the back all along, not saying anything. He had already noticed that Yuhua Prefecture was covered by a formation.
However, this formation was in a hidden state, and Chu Hao could not make an accurate judgment, which was why he did not stop Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong.
Now, after the two of them tested it, the formation had fully manifested, and Chu Hao could already see it clearly.
"Immortal Chu Hao, I wonder what kind of formation this is?"
Tang Sanzang asked Chu Hao.
"Yes, brother, why is this formation so sturdy?"
Sun Wukong was also a little helpless with this formation. With the firmness of this formation, it was very difficult to break it by force.
"Boss, this formation is very hateful."
Zhu Bajie had just suffered a small loss under the formation, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"This is the Bodhi Mirror Formation, it is indeed very powerful."
Chu Hao explained the details of this formation to Sun Wukong and the others.
"Buddhism says, 'Bodhi originally has no tree, the bright mirror is also not a stand, originally there is nothing, where does dust arise?' This Bodhi Mirror Formation is taken from this saying.
This formation can be hidden and invisible. Even if it is revealed, it is only a thin layer like gauze, but it uses a world as support.
It connects to the heavenly stars above and the earth veins below, gathering the yin and yang energies to condense into a formation, borrowing the power of heaven and earth. Even if one's cultivation reaches the sky, it is not easy to break it by relying on external force."
Chu Hao's words were simple and clear, but he spoke the key to this formation. This formation relied on the support of heaven and earth, not purely the power of gods and Buddhas.
Therefore, although Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie had extraordinary strength, it was impossible to break the formation by force.
"If that's really the case, could it be that we can't pass through Yuhua Prefecture?"
Tang Sanzang also understood what Chu Hao said and knew the power of this formation.
"Brother, can you crack this formation?"
Sun Wukong then asked Chu Hao.
"Boss, could it be that even you can't crack this formation?"
Zhu Bajie was a little anxious. If even Chu Hao couldn't crack it, then they would really be blocked outside the city of Yuhua Prefecture.
The three princes on the city gate, seeing Tang Sanzang and the others talking with Chu Hao, could also imagine that they were studying a way to break the formation.
"Demonic monks, do you want to break the formation? It's impossible."
"That one must be the Hell God Chu Hao, right? If you have the ability, try it too."
"What Hell God? A pretentious pretty boy, he doesn't even dare to take action."
Relying on the formation, the three princes were naturally very arrogant, and the Western Heaven had also instructed King Yuhua to make things difficult for Tang Sanzang and his disciples.
To make Tang Sanzang and his disciples suffer and be helpless in front of the city gate of Yuhua Prefecture, was to knowingly let them be trapped by the formation set up by the Western Heaven, and in the end, they would have no choice but to ask the Western Heaven to solve the predicament.
That way, the Western Heaven could teach Tang Sanzang and his disciples a lesson and make them submit and kowtow to the Western Heaven. This was one of Guanyin's plans and conspiracies.
Chu Hao actually disdained to argue with the three princes, just like ordinary people would not bother with ants.
But perhaps even the Western Heaven did not expect that King Yuhua would have three sons who were so good at attracting hatred, successfully drawing the anger of the entire team.
