Lingshan.

After explaining everything, Hongjun returned to Zixiao Palace.

Yang Mei also left and went back.

The other Buddhist disciples are still slowly restoring everything at Mount Ling, after all, the damage this time was just too great.

Only the Four Sages are still keeping an eye on the pilgrimage team; the Monkey King, that unpredictable element, is back!

They had no choice but to be at ease!

"What's going on? How can it snow in Tongtianhe in this kind of weather?"

Seeing the heavy snow covering the Tongtian River, Laozi frowned.

"That's really strange! If it's a monster, how much supernatural power would it need to change the weather in a region!"

Zhunti looked puzzled, feeling that the snowfall was too strange.

However, only one old turtle in the Tongtian River attained enlightenment, and it didn't possess such formidable magical power.

However, speaking of the old turtle, its behavior is quite strange!
It's as if they deliberately set a trap for Tang Sanzang and his companions!
"That old turtle is suspicious!"

Yuanshi rubbed his forehead and said slowly.

"I agree, but this doesn't make sense either. Normally, it shouldn't be this simple!"

Zhunti nodded to Yuanshi, speculating.

The saints racked their brains but still couldn't figure out why.

Meanwhile, Tang Sanzang and his companions, still on the banks of the Tongtian River, showed expressions of joy.

"Look, look! It's frozen over! This is a miracle!" Tang Sanzang exclaimed in delight, looking at the frozen river. He then took a step forward.

"Wait! Don't rush, let's test how thick the ice is! What if we fall halfway down?"

Seeing that Tang Sanzang wanted to walk straight forward, Yun Zhongzi hurriedly stopped him.

Upon hearing Yun Zhongzi's words, Tang Sanzang was startled and immediately retreated.

Then Yun Zhongzi went to the shore, found a large rock, and threw it directly onto the ice.

All that could be heard was a clanging sound, but the ice surface remained completely undamaged, without even the slightest crack.

Then Yun Zhongzi walked onto the ice and jumped around on it without any problems.

"It's safe! This ice is definitely thick; we can cross it easily!"

After finishing the test, Yun Zhongzi smiled broadly and said happily.

Seeing this, Tang Sanzang and Bodhidharma couldn't help but feel happy, now they could cross the river with peace of mind!
Only the monkey was scratching its head behind them, as if it were thinking about something.

"Wukong! Hurry up, it's too cold!"

Seeing the monkey still standing there in a daze by the river, Tang Sanzang quickly called out to it.

With a sigh, the monkey stopped thinking about it and followed behind.

Now I'm considered the number one younger brother of my three great-aunts!
They probably won't be the same as before, right?
The monkey thought to itself, and then nervously stepped onto the ice.

In the Tongtian River.

Tongtian looked at the heavy snow outside and the frozen river.

I feel incredibly happy!
"Old tortoise, you'll be underwater while I'm on the ice. Just follow the previous plan, understand?"

Looking at Tang Sanzang and the others who had already stepped onto the ice, Tongtian spoke to the old turtle.

"I know... but Your Majesty, I am truly not a tortoise... Ah, I understand! I will take care of it!"

The old turtle, who was speaking, was glared at by Tongtian and immediately shrank its neck and hurriedly agreed.

Upon hearing the old turtle's words, Tongtian smiled.

He then pulled out a large wooden hammer, slung it over his shoulder, and began humming a tune.

At this moment, Tang Sanzang and his companions were walking on the frozen surface of the Tongtian River.

Looking at the solid ice surface, the group couldn't help but feel happy.

It was quite cold, though, even though I had put on a spare robe.

But the biting wind was unbearable, seeping straight into my body.

Just as they were marveling at how smoothly the journey had gone, a figure suddenly appeared ahead. The figure was that of a fish demon, with a burly build and a strong, imposing physique.

He also carried a huge wooden hammer on his shoulder.

It feels like even two adults couldn't lift it!

They were currently halfway there, smiling as they watched Tang Sanzang and his companions... Upon seeing this, Tang Sanzang and his group's pupils contracted, their expressions shifting between anger and uncertainty. "Finally, we've been waiting for you! Let the game begin!"

At this moment, the fish demon put down the large wooden hammer, spat on his hands, and rubbed them together.

Like an honest, hardworking farmer about to go to work in the fields.

"By the way, I am the Great King Tongtian! This 800-mile-long Tongtian River is my territory!"

The Great King Tongtian seemed to remember that he hadn't introduced himself yet, and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang and his companions were terrified!
Nima!

Will we still encounter monsters as expected?

So confident and fearless, could it be a very powerful fish demon?

At this moment, a glint flashed in the monkey's eyes, and it slowly retreated.

"Great King Tongtian? What do you want? Do you know that we are disciples of Buddhism, here for the great cause of obtaining Buddhist scriptures from the West!"

Suppressing his unease, Bodhidharma spoke directly and rebuked him.

"That's right, retreat immediately! Otherwise, I'll destroy your eight-hundred-mile-long Tongtian River!"

Yun Zhongzi looked around but didn't see the old turtle.

We are disciples of a sacred Buddhist site; it would be cowardly of us to run away at the sight of a monster!
More importantly, where can one escape to on this vast expanse of ice?

"Hehehe! I hope you guys still have such backbone! Well then, let the game begin!"

Seeing the shocked and angry expressions on Yun Zhongzi and Damo's faces, Tongtian Dawang revealed an exaggerated smile.

A mouthful of sharp fangs covered its mouth, exuding a chilling aura!
As soon as the Great King Tongtian finished speaking, Tang Sanzang and his companions immediately focused their attention and prepared for battle.

But to their surprise, the danger came from beneath their feet.

Suddenly, the ice surface where the three of them were standing collapsed, and the three of them fell into the ice hole in horror!

Only when the three of them fell did they remember to look back.

The monkey's silhouette was already far away; its speed was like lightning!
"I'm going to Lingshan to ask for help! Hang in there!! Keep going!!"

The sounds of monkeys and a cheer could be heard from afar.

Tang Sanzang and his companions were dumbfounded!
What the hell!

That immoral monkey actually ran away on its own?
Keep going?
Come here and I'll beat you to death!
"That monkey runs pretty fast! Sigh! Even I didn't notice it!"

Just then, the voice of the Great King Tongtian came over, filled with helplessness and regret.

However, upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang and his companions were filled with indignation and curses...
You let it go on purpose, didn't you?
On the frozen surface of the Tongtian River.

As they fell into the ice hole, Tang Sanzang and his companions cursed the monkey and the Tongtian King in their hearts.

Damn it!
Could you act it even more convincingly?

Do you really think we're fools?
But the angry curse had barely flashed through his mind before it sank into the icy river.

A bone-chilling cold instantly swept over them, causing the three to shiver. What surprised them most was that the icy river water could actually freeze their cultivation! At this moment, Tang Sanzang and his companions stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief!

What would it feel like for an ordinary person to fall into an ice cave after losing their cultivation? At this moment, they felt it—a feeling of being enveloped by boundless cold and extremely close to death.

So the three of them swam upstream with all their might, but then they remembered that the Great King Tongtian was still guarding the top.

The three swam to the side, but when they tried to break through the ice to get out...

Desperate!
It's completely impossible to break through the thick ice!

There was no way to stop them; in an instant, they swam back to where they were before.

When they saw the three large holes, they were so excited they almost cried.

Of course, there was no time to worry about anything now, so they hurriedly rushed out of the ice hole.

The three of them were deeply moved when they rushed out of the ice and saw the outside world.

Taking a gentle breath, even the air felt wonderful. But then, a massive wooden hammer descended from the sky, striking them squarely on the head! (End of Chapter)
