Chapter 650: Journey to the West: Zhu Jiumei 9
One day, Zhu Jiumei heard the reminder voice of the system Menglu again in her mind: "The host's fellow apprentice has been found. The host's next task is to find the master. Only after finding the master can you go to the West to obtain the scriptures."

"Yes, looking for the master..." Zhu Jiumei slapped her forehead. The master is the most important person in the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, but where can she find him?
"Menglu, do you have any clues about our master's whereabouts?" Zhu Jiumei asked.

"Your master is an accomplished monk. Go find him. We will meet if we are destined to."

"Menglu, what benefits will I get after finding a master?" Zhu Jiumei suddenly asked curiously.

"Of course there is. After you find the master, the main quest of Journey to the West will be truly started... The monsters and demons you kill along the way and the good deeds you do can increase your spiritual power and your resurrection rate. When the resurrection rate reaches 100, you can be reborn in the real world."

"The real world?" Zhu Jiumei was stunned. Then she remembered that the reason she accepted various tasks was to be reborn in real life.

"The journey to the West is long. What should I do if I don't have money?" Zhu Jiumei felt a little worried. In "Journey to the West", it took the four masters and apprentices fourteen years to reach the end, which shows how long the journey is.

"You can beg for alms or exchange them in the system mall."

"Can spiritual power be exchanged for anything?" Zhu Jiumei asked curiously.

"Spiritual power can only be exchanged for skills, which helps upgrade the system and improve the resurrection rate. When the system is upgraded to level three, the host will have wealth value. The wealth value can be used to buy things in the mall, or exchanged for the currency used in the era..."

"That's great..." Zhu Jiumei almost jumped up with excitement in the room.

Zhu Jiumei suddenly remembered something and asked, "What about my free space? And Zhiyue and the others?"

"The mission you accept is different each time. This time, in order to increase the difficulty of your mission, your random space has been temporarily blocked. In this world of Journey to the West, you only have system space." Meng Lu explained.

"Okay!" After her excitement, Zhu Jiumei gradually calmed down. She looked at Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing, and had a plan for the next step in her mind.

"Senior Brother, Junior Brother Sha, it's time for us to set out to find our master." Zhu Jiumei said.

At this time, Sun Wukong was holding his majestic golden cudgel, with a confident look on his face: "Humph, with me here, I will be able to protect everyone."

Sha Wujing also held the demon-slaying staff and nodded in agreement: "I will also try my best."

Zhu Jiumei looked at the majestic weapons in their hands and suddenly realized that she was still empty-handed. What would she do if she encountered danger again?

"Senior Brother, Junior Brother Sha, you all have powerful weapons, but I don’t have a suitable one yet." Zhu Jiumei said with a frown.

Sun Wukong blinked his fiery eyes and said, "That's a question. What kind of weapon does Junior Sister want?"

Zhu Jiumei's eyes rolled, and she thought of the nine-toothed rake used by Zhu Bajie in Journey to the West: "I heard that the nine-toothed rake is a rare artifact. It would be great if I could get it."

"Nine-toothed Rake? I heard about it when I was in the Heavenly Palace. I heard that this weapon was forged by the Jade Emperor himself using divine iron, and then outsourced to the Six Dings and Six Jias, and finally bestowed by the Jade Emperor to Marshal Tianpeng. This weapon has powerful functions of subduing demons, protecting oneself and killing enemies." Sha Wujing said.

"Ever since Marshal Tianpeng disappeared, this weapon has also disappeared. Senior Sister, where should we look for it?" Sha Wujing asked.

"I don't know where it is either. Let me think about it." Zhu Jiumei communicated with Meng Lu in her heart.

"As long as you know where it is, I will go with you." Sun Wukong agreed readily.

Under Menglu's guidance, they set out on the journey to Baoshan. Along the way, the scenery was picturesque and the mountains were undulating.

Zhu Jiumei asked Sun Wukong curiously, "Big Brother, when you were making trouble in Heaven, were you particularly majestic?"

Sun Wukong laughed: "Of course, no one in the Heavenly Palace can stop me."

Sha Wujing also laughed and interjected: "Big Brother's ability is unmatched."

As they walked, they came to a wide river with fast-flowing water.

"How can I get through this?" Zhu Jiumei was worried.

Sun Wukong threw his golden cudgel into the river and said, "Don't be afraid, Junior Sister. Just step on my golden cudgel and cross over."

Zhu Jiumei carefully stepped onto the golden cudgel and, under the escort of Sun Wukong, successfully crossed the river.

After walking for a while, we finally arrived at the foot of Baoshan Mountain.

The mountain is towering into the clouds, shrouded in mist, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

"Menglu, are you sure the Nine-toothed Rake is on this mountain?" Zhu Jiumei asked.

Meng Lu's voice rang in her mind: "Host, the Nine-toothed Rake is on this mountain, but there may be some obstacles."

Zhu Jiumei took a deep breath and said, "Never mind, let's go up first."

The three of them climbed up along the rugged mountain road. There were dense trees all around them, and the roars of wild beasts could be heard from time to time.

"Big Brother, I'm a little scared." Zhu Jiumei followed closely behind Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Junior Sister. With me here, no demon or monster dares to come near me."

Suddenly, a huge python jumped out of the woods and pounced towards them with its bloody mouth wide open.

Sun Wukong reacted quickly, swung his golden cudgel, and directly knocked the python away.

"Hmph, a little python dares to block my way." After some twists and turns, they finally approached the place where the Nine-toothed Rake was stored.

I saw a powerful barrier in front of a cave.

Sun Wukong tried to break the barrier with his golden cudgel, but it bounced back.

"This barrier is very powerful." said Sun Wukong.

Sha Wujing suggested: "How about we try together?"

The three of them stood together, exerted their strength at the same time, and finally broke the barrier.

Walking into the cave, I saw the Nine-toothed Rake emitting dazzling light and standing there quietly.

Zhu Jiumei ran over excitedly and wanted to pick up the Nine-toothed Rake, but found it extremely heavy.

"What should we do?" An Yi Mo said anxiously.

Sun Wukong said: "Let me help you."

He chanted a spell and performed a magic, and Zhu Jiumei was able to successfully pick up the Nine-toothed Rake.

"Great, I finally got it." Zhu Jiumei danced with joy.

Just as they were about to leave, the cave suddenly began to shake and a huge monster appeared.

"This is the treasure of my mountain. How can I let you take it away?" the monster roared.

Sun Wukong was not afraid: "Don't try to stop me, or I will make you suffer."

A fierce battle broke out, and Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing fought the monster to a standstill.

Zhu Jiumei also joined the battle wielding the Nine-toothed Rake. With their concerted efforts, the monster was gradually defeated.

Finally, the monster fell to the ground and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Let's go quickly." said Sun Wukong.

The three of them left Baoshan with the Nine-toothed Rake.

Zhu Jiumei held the nine-toothed rake with satisfaction, feeling full of power. She shrank the nine-toothed rake and inserted it into her hair.

"With this nine-toothed rake, I won't be afraid of danger in the future." Zhu Jiumei said.

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Junior sister, let's go find Master."

Zhu Jiumei nodded and took Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing with them, sleeping in the open air along the way. The sunlight shone on them, reflecting their determined figures.

After several days of travel, they finally entered the prosperous capital of the Tang Dynasty.

In Chang'an, there were a lot of cars and people. The shops on the street were full of goods and the shouts were heard one after another. Zhu Jiumei looked at this lively scene and felt a lot of emotions in her heart.

"Senior brother, the Tang Dynasty is indeed a prosperous place. It's so lively here." Zhu Jiumei said.

Sun Wukong scratched his head and looked around, "Hey, this place is so crowded and lively, I find it very interesting!"

Sha Wujing, carrying his luggage, said in a simple and honest manner: "Let's hurry up and find the man who is seeking the scriptures."

"We've been traveling for several days. Let's find a place to rest first, and then go and inquire about the whereabouts of our master." Zhu Jiumei said.

They walked into an inn and ordered some food. Zhu Jiumei took out the portrait of Tang Monk she had drawn from the space and handed it to Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing.

"Is this our master?" The two people looked at the portrait seriously.

The people in the inn looked at them curiously.

"Look, those people, are they holding portraits of eminent monks?" someone whispered.

Zhu Jiumei ate her meal while listening to the discussions of people around her.

At this time, an old man came over and said, "Heroes, I think I have seen the master you are looking for."

Zhu Jiumei asked hurriedly: "Old man, please tell me quickly."

The old man recalled, “A few days ago, I saw a monk in the woods outside of town. He looked very similar to what you described.”

"Thank you, old man." Zhu Jiumei and others thanked him and were about to rush in the direction the old man pointed.

But the innkeeper stopped them and kindly reminded them: "If you three want to find an accomplished monk, you should go to the city. The city is very busy these days. A magic competition is being held."

The three of them thanked him, paid the money and went to their respective rooms to rest.
