Chapter 211 Milkfish
Ju Liusun's smile grew even brighter, giving Guanyin Bodhisattva a triumphant look as if to say, "How about that? Isn't the brand of Buddhism awesome?"
However...
The giant whale glanced back at him and dropped a sentence, "Never heard of it, don't bother me!"
Then the whale turned its head away and grumbled as it left, "A bunch of lunatics, not even as well-known as our Little South Sea, the great Dark Shrimp King of Second Channel Ditch dares to show off!"
Ju Liusun's smile froze, as the sea breeze blew against his face...
On the shore, the Black Bear Demon asked Mu Zha, "Where is this Little South Sea?"
Mu Zha replied, "It's a small island five thousand miles south of here."
"And what about Second Channel Ditch?" the Black Bear Demon asked.
Mu Zha shook his head, "I don't know."
The Dragon Maiden said, "It seems to be a small trench at the bottom of the Little South Sea."
"And who is this Dark Shrimp King?" the Black Bear Demon continued to inquire.
The Dragon Maiden and Mu Zha shook their heads in unison, indicating ignorance, "That place is too small; we've really never been there."
While everyone was dazed, something whooshed out and then smacked right onto that whale's forehead with a slap!
The whale raged, "Who? Who hit me?"
Then they saw a baldy soaring into the sky, and midair, he hurled a punch down into the sea!
Boom!
Water blasted apart to form a thousand-mile-wide hole as Fist Power thundered into the seabed, creating a massive crater!
Then Tang Sanzang flipped and landed on the whale, trembling with fear, and cocked his head to say, "The poor monk's little ones need a wet nurse, one fish a day, how about it?"
The whale replied in a cry, "Big brother, one fish a day, I'm afraid there won't be enough milk."
Tang Sanzang said, "One fish as big as you!"
The whale shuddered, "What if I refuse?"
Tang Sanzang stroked his chin, "Kill it, milk it, feed another whale."
The whale quickly cried out, "Big brother, I'll take the job!"
Tang Sanzang smiled, "You just worried there won't be enough milk?"
The whale quickly shouted, "I'll handle my own meals, don't trouble big brother with that!"
Tang Sanzang nodded, very satisfied, "Are you sure you can handle it?"
The whale glanced at the several children hanging on Tang Sanzang's body, and the twenty or so on Ju Liusun and Guanyin Bodhisattva, and smiled proudly, "For just these few little ones, I think I can manage."
Tang Sanzang smiled even more contentedly, "Very well, then they are entrusted to you!"
Having said that, Tang Sanzang looked towards the shore.
The whale also looked over and saw more than two thousand children on the coast, crying loudly, crawling, running, chewing on trees, eating dirt, and also looking back.
In that instant, the whale wept, "Big brother, I'm just a little whale... Give me a few more years, I think I need to grow bigger to cope."
Tang Sanzang clenched his fist, "What did you say?"
On the shore, the Black Bear Demon instantly got Tang Sanzang's hint, hurriedly pulled over an iron pot, and lit a fire.
Seeing this, the whale promptly cried out, "I guarantee to complete the task!"
Tang Sanzang clapped his hands and looked up to a Bodhisattva and a Buddha in the sky, "If it can be settled with fists, try not to brag; it's easy to lose face."
Both of them suddenly blushed...
Their reputations were indeed great, but they forgot, some newly cultivated little demons, without being taught or led, where would they learn their names?
After all, the gap was too vast!
But no matter what, having a kilometer-long whale producing milk was indeed a solution to the urgent crisis.
However, taking care of children was far from being as simple as just giving them milk.
Defecating, urinating, crawling about, crying randomly...
For a while, the island was in complete chaos.
It was only because the Dragon Maiden had the patience and made great efforts to take care of them that Tang Sanzang and the others didn't break down.
But they were not far from collapsing.
Fortunately, half a month later, a grand assembly was called at Mount Meru. When Guanyin Bodhisattva heard about it, she left overnight...
At Mount Meru.
The Buddha called together the Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Venerables for a gathering.
As everyone took their seats, they noticed that Guanyin Bodhisattva had not yet arrived.
The Buddha smiled and said, "Guanyin Bodhisattva is always punctual. Why is she late today? Does anyone know what's going on with her?"
Everyone looked at each other, clueless.
Lingji Bodhisattva said, "After Guanyin Bodhisattva took Tang Sanzang back with her, she hasn't contacted us again. We are not clear about what exactly happened there."
As they were speaking, a burst of children's crying suddenly rang out. Everyone was stunned, wondering how there could be crying children on Mount Meru.
Before they could ask, Guanyin Bodhisattva walked in with a strange sight: three babies on her back, two in one hand, two hanging from her arms, three at her chest, two pinned at her waist, two hanging from her legs, one sitting on each shoulder, one riding around her neck, and one more dangling from her long hair.
For a moment, the gathered Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Venerables, and even the Buddha himself were baffled.
Lingji Bodhisattva laughed and said, "Bodhisattva, what is this? What's going on?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed and said, "Well, here's the situation."
Then Guanyin Bodhisattva explained everything from beginning to end.
Upon hearing this, there was another wave of astonishment, and of course, some were snickering...
Guanyin Bodhisattva ignored them and turned to the Buddha saying, "Buddha, I am of limited ability and shallow learning. I truly cannot take care of Tang Sanzang anymore. It's been less than a month since he came to Mount Putuo, and he has already gotten me to look after three thousand children...
He even plans to catch more demons to bring up the mountain to help with the childcare. If this goes on, if he doesn't go insane, I will go insane first.
Buddha, please find someone more capable!"
Upon hearing this, the Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and others present hurriedly exclaimed, "Bodhisattva, you can't say that."
"When it comes to learning, who can surpass you?"
"When it comes to virtue, all of us together are not your match!"

"Exactly, exactly..."
...
"Silence!" Guanyin Bodhisattva shouted, and everyone fell silent at once.
Guanyin Bodhisattva continued, "If you want me to continue looking after him, I can do it. But, he must study here at Mount Meru!
I don't want any more mishaps to occur."
The Buddha understood Guanyin Bodhisattva's meaning. Outside, it was inevitable to run into fools who charged blindly into trouble. If they were all like Poxun, it was not too bad—just a few more children to care for. In a pinch, they could all grit their teeth and create thousands of avatars to take care of them day and night.
Or they could simply convert a few thousand little demons into Buddhist Disciples to look after them...
The problem was, if Tang Sanzang brought three thousand women up the mountain to mingle indiscriminately day and night, wouldn't that cause total chaos?
But it would be different if he came to Mount Meru. This is the holy land of Buddhism; no one would foolishly come up the mountain, not even the ancestor of the Nether River would dare to cause trouble here.
Moreover, the residents of Mount Meru are all virtuous Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Venerables, Buddhist Disciples, and so on...@@novelbin@@
They would not engage in disorder with Tang Sanzang, and he would be able to be more at peace.
What do you think?
