The Heavens: Thousands of Households Starting from Number One in the World

At the foot of Mount Emei, the mist is thick, as if a veil is covering the mountains.

A winding stone staircase is hidden in it, with no end in sight.

Chenxiang looked up into the distance, his eyes full of frustration. He turned sideways and looked at the people around him, his eyes fell on Zhu Bajie who was wearing Buddhist robes, and asked, "Master Envoy, is this Mount Emei? Does your senior brother, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, really live here?"

"Finally we're here! Yes, it's right here!" Zhu Bajie nodded hurriedly, breathing slightly.

He had just used his magic power to teleport Chenxiang, Fox Sister, Ao Chun, Xiaoyu and others here, and now he felt exhausted both physically and mentally. After all, he hadn't been through this for hundreds of years, so it was normal for him to be exhausted.

But why did Bajie bring Chenxiang and others to Mount Emei? The reason is quite complicated. However, despite the complicated reasons, Zhu Bajie was willing to do it. It was because Chang'e begged the marshal to teach Chenxiang, or to help Chenxiang become a disciple of a famous teacher in the Three Realms and learn skills to avoid being persecuted by Erlang Shen.

Although there are not many words, the amount of information is huge.

At first, Zhu Bajie didn't want to agree, but under Chang'e's long eyelashes that trembled like a feather fan and under her gentle gaze, he nodded involuntarily.

Looking at the deep and unfathomable mountain road in front of him, Zhu Bajie was filled with regret and wished he could slap himself a few times.

To be honest, the Altar Purifier really wanted to give up at this moment, but since he was not a Buddhist monk who could cut off all his emotions, he naturally couldn't bear to do it.

……

"What a cute little monkey!" Xiaoyu saw a gray monkey lying on the wooden fence, her eyes lit up, a smile appeared on her face, and she walked towards the gray monkey while talking. When she got closer, she stretched out her hand as white as mutton fat jade, gently placed it on the little monkey's head, and gently stroked it.

"Be careful, the monkeys in Mount Emei are wild and hard to tame, and are not easy to mess with!" Upon seeing this, Zhu Bajie hurriedly warned, then picked up a stick in his hand and drove away the wild monkeys that were surrounding them.

The little gray monkey showed his white teeth to Xiaoyu, then turned his head and grinned at Zhu Bajie, making a "sizzling" sound, as if expressing his dissatisfaction.

For a moment, the monkeys in the surrounding trees laughed and chirped one after another.

Zhu Bajie pulled himself together and said in a deep voice: "Boy Chenxiang, although the fairy suggested that I bring you to my Monkey King, whether he is willing to accept you as his disciple is another matter!" Zhu Bajie sighed secretly in his heart. Monkey King was unruly by nature and was even more restless than him. Asking him to accept a disciple was simply a fantasy.

"I believe that sincerity will work!" Chenxiang stared at the endless mountain road with a firm gaze and said in a firm tone.

"Go away!" Zhu Bajie muttered and continued to wave his stick to drive away the wild monkeys in Mount Emei.

Looking around, the mountains are full of gray monkeys, all of them have red buttocks, tails raised high, and pairs of round eyes full of curiosity, looking at the team of climbers from between the tree branches.

……

Mount Emei is not actually very high, but because there is a Fighting Buddha Temple on the mountain, people think that the mountain is majestic and difficult to climb.

They seemed to have been walking for a long time, but seemed to be always standing still. They neither reached the top nor saw the temple.

The distance of the mountain road seemed to be under a spell and had not changed at all, except that the number of monkeys on the mountain increased.

The sunlight gradually dimmed, and the afterglow of the setting sun was like golden threads, penetrating the branches and leaves and sprinkling on everyone's faces.

"I'm so tired!" Xiaoyu panted, slumped on a rock, and raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead. She looked tired, looking at the blood-red sunset in the distant sky, and said weakly: "Master Envoy, is Mount Emei so high? We have been walking for a long time!"

Zhu Bajie was sweating profusely. He gasped for air and explained, "When I went to see my senior brother before, I always flew up to him directly! But since Chenxiang wants to become his disciple, he should show some sincerity! Flying up directly is ridiculous!"

After hearing this, Chenxiang wiped his sweat and nodded in agreement.

"Something's wrong!" Fox Girl suddenly spoke in a low voice.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all turned their eyes to Fox Sister. Fox Sister's beautiful eyes were fixed on the foggy mountain road ahead, which seemed to lead to the underworld. The mountain road was foggy and it was hard to see clearly, except for two vague figures.

"Who is this monster?!" Zhu Bajie shouted, his voice was like a loud bell, scaring the wild monkeys in all directions and making them flee in all directions.

"Click, click", the footsteps came closer and closer, becoming clearer in the mist. Yang Jian, in silver armor and black robe, appeared from the mist with Roaring Sky Dog. Yang Jian's heavenly eyes opened, his eyes were like lightning, scanning everyone, and finally fixed on the young man Chenxiang.

"Yang Jian!" Zhu Bajie exclaimed in surprise.

"Erlang Shen!" Ao Chun, Xiao Yu and the others also shouted out, their faces full of fear. Fox Sister looked even more solemn, and her magic power quietly gathered around her.

"After searching for so long, it turns out that the remnant of this human god is with you!" Yang Jian looked indifferent and his tone was cold.

Roaring Sky Dog also barked a few times at the right time, as if agreeing with its master.

Everyone became nervous in an instant.

"Fox sister, I showed mercy at the beginning!" Yang Jian turned his gaze to Fox sister and said slowly, "But you protected the evil creature that should not exist in this world. I am really disappointed."

"Woof woof woof!" Howling Sky Dog barked a few more times, as if testifying to Yang Jian's words.

The fox girl's expression suddenly changed, and her eyes showed some guilt.

"Yang Jian!" A roar was like thunder out of nowhere, causing the surrounding leaves to fall.

Zhu Bajie glared at him and asked in a cold voice, "I was wondering why this mountain road was so long. It turns out you are the one causing trouble! You set up the maze!"

Yang Jian's eyes were as calm as water. In fact, he had been secretly watching Chenxiang's every move.

He knew all the process, from Chenxiang's trip to the Temple of the Pure Altar Envoy to his encounter with the fairy Chang'e. However, Yang Jian never expected that Zhu Bajie actually had a special feeling for Chang'e.

What shocked him even more was that he heard that Chang'e wanted Chenxiang to worship Sun Wukong as his master! What was going on? If Chenxiang really worshipped Sun Wukong, the Fighting Buddha, wouldn't he become a member of the Buddhist world?
Once he practices Buddhism and is influenced by it, he becomes emotionless and desireless, and only knows how to practice. Then, wouldn't all his previous plans be in vain? How is this different from declaring that his plan has failed?
Did he have to wait for the next human god bloodline to appear? Thinking of this, Yang Jian's face turned pale in an instant.

Several times, he wanted to rush out to stop it, but the fairy Chang'e was always guarding nearby, making it impossible for him to do anything.

No! Chen Xiang must not be allowed to become a Buddhist!
You can worship anyone else, but never Buddhism!
"Marshal, are you planning to help the Heavenly Court capture the wanted criminal?" Yang Jian turned his gaze to Zhu Bajie and asked back.

"Humph! Yang Jian, you really have forgotten your roots!" Zhu Bajie snorted coldly and mocked, "Don't you forget who your father is! And don't forget how I saved you and the Three Holy Mothers!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's eyes froze for a moment, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "Marshal, you saved my life and my younger sister's life, and Yang Jian will never forget it. However, I, Yang Jian, cannot live my whole life in humility and be restricted by this kindness! When the Marshal went west, although I, Yang Jian, did not make great contributions, I also helped him several times!"

After hearing these words, everyone was surprised and secretly speculated in their hearts, they never expected that this altar cleaner who seemed unreliable on weekdays had actually saved Erlang Shen's life.

"You are such an ungrateful bastard! When Meng Jing blocked the journey to the west, you, Yang Jian, only helped him for the sake of destiny!" Zhu Bajie's body was shining with light, and a nine-toothed rake appeared in his hand. "Chenxiang is the disciple I introduced to my senior brother. This matter is now a matter of our Western Buddhist world. Do you still want to interfere?"

“I naturally dare not interfere in the affairs of the Buddhist world!” Yang Jian narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes, “But he hasn’t become my disciple yet, so it doesn’t count!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the three-pointed double-edged sword "whooshed" and instantly appeared in Yang Jian's hand. Yang Jian's eyes were cold and fierce, and a strong sense of oppression emanated from his body.

Seeing this, Zhu Bajie's heart trembled, and his hand holding the nine-toothed rake trembled slightly. He said in a deep voice: "This is Mount Emei, my brother's territory. Do you, Yang Jian, still want to cause trouble here?"

"Haha, I have set up the Eight Formations here, which Sun Wukong cannot detect!" Yang Jian sneered, his tone full of confidence. (End of this chapter)
