He raised a finger as to confront the innovative definition of “ social harmony ”, but soon fell short of words since he knew , deep down , that it was not entirely unfitting . Without a choice , the Jade Emperor sent Wallace and Houzi back to the mortal world unpunished .
Almost instantly , Wallace and Houzi found themselves back where they started , back in the cave inside the Flaming Mountains , and were immediately greeted by a disgruntled Bajie . “ Where have you two been ? It took you four years to settle the dispute ?” To which Wallace replied that the duo had been gone for only a day . Houzi thought for a while , and responded , “ It must be true that a day in heaven equates to four years in the mortal world .” Houzi simply shrugged . “ Perhaps we should record this incident . How many people have actually had such an extraordinary experience ? By engraving this story onto the wall , we can ensure that we ’ ll go down in history .” Only after Houzi had finished engraving on the wall with his staff did Wallace realize the sole purpose of this journey . The answer to his initial confusions lay before him , as bright as day . Wallace confirmed that Tang Sanzang had arrived in Turpan at 626 A . D ., but no one had known about his arrival as he had never made an appearance in the city until 630 A . D . Wallace was thinking of the methods to preserve Houzi ’ s carvings onto paper when all of a sudden he felt his consciousness fading .
When he opened his eyes again , the first thing Wallace noticed was the fading message on the stone wall , and he sighed . Wallace may had just made a ground breaking discovery , but with no proof in hand , perhaps only the heavens will believe his story .
