"Brother Rhino! Your brewing skills are the best in the Three Realms!"

"Haha! Brother, you flatter me. But I am indeed very proud; these are all my livelihood tools!"

"You're too modest, brother!"

"Let's get down to business, brother!"

"Dry!"

At this moment on Mount Ling, Laozi and Jieyin watched as the monkey and the rhinoceros spirit drank heartily.

I'm so angry I could explode!

"As expected! He colluded with the demons! That wretched monkey! A traitor to Buddhism!"

Seeing the monkey and the rhinoceros demon calling each other brothers, Laozi was furious.

"Damn it! We sent him to rescue people, and he ended up drinking! How despicable! I wish I could tear that monkey to pieces!"

The guide standing to the side couldn't help but glare and bristle with indignation.

"You bastard! You shameless monkey!!"

"Ugh!! I'm so angry!! Ah!!!"

Sanxian Island.

Li Changsheng was leisurely drinking wine with Nuwa and the other women, watching a play.

"Laozi and Jieyin were almost driven mad with anger on Mount Ling, but this monkey is still leisurely drinking with that rhinoceros demon!"

Taking a sip of wine, Li Changsheng looked at Mount Ling and chuckled.

Nuwa covered her mouth and laughed, "Chang Sheng, aren't you drinking it too?"

"That's different! I'm enjoying family time, while they've been driven mad with anger! Haha!"

At this point, Li Changsheng laughed happily, full of self-satisfaction.

"Speaking of which, Tang Sanzang and his companions were quite pitiful, having to suffer the poison of those pills again! Hehehe!"

Houtu, standing to the side, found the group from Xuan Ying Cave even more amusing; their pills, enhanced by alcohol, were simply laughable.

"Those little devils are really something, they actually added that elixir in! Tang Sanzang and the others are about to cry!"

As she spoke, Xihe covered her mouth and chuckled, and Changxi beside her couldn't help but laugh along.

"But speaking of which, this rhinoceros demon is indeed talented, and the little ones have really led him astray, and into the perfect situation!"

Li Changsheng smiled and then drank another cup of wine.

The women also smiled broadly.

The kids originally wanted him to brew a prank drink, but it ended up being a treat for their palates.

It's really well crooked!
Xuanying Cave.

The rhinoceros demon and the monkey were already completely drunk and unconscious.

After an unknown amount of time, the monkey slowly woke up.

I shook my head, only to feel a splitting headache.

Not long after, the rhinoceros demon woke up and immediately saw the monkey tapping its head with its hand.

Suddenly happy.

"Brother, your drinking capacity is a bit lacking compared to mine! Haha!"

Upon hearing the sound, the monkey looked at the rhinoceros demon.

Indeed, he felt extremely unwell after waking up.

But this guy was full of energy, as if he hadn't had enough to drink!
Seeing this, even the monkey had to respectfully acknowledge the rhinoceros spirit, praising him as a wine connoisseur.

Not long after, the monkey carried the still unconscious Tang Sanzang and the others.

He bowed to the rhinoceros spirit in farewell.

"Brother, come visit me again sometime, and we'll drink and have some fun together!"

The monkey was helpless against the drunkard and could only agree verbally.

However, a warmth also touched his heart, after all, of all the monsters he had encountered, he felt the most compatible with this rhinoceros spirit.

Then, amidst the rhinoceros demon's regretful gaze, the monkey left Xuan Ying Cave...
Western territory.

Not far from Qinglong Mountain, shortly after the monkey put Tang Sanzang and the others down.

One by one, everyone slowly woke up.

Seeing that they had left Xuan Ying Cave, Tang Sanzang and the others were overjoyed.

"Wukong, you're still the best, you..."

Just as Tang Sanzang was about to flatter the monkey as usual, he suddenly remembered something and fell silent.

The monkey gave Tang Sanzang a strange look, sensing that something he didn't know had happened. Although the effects of the medicine had worn off, the group rested for a while before getting up.

Just then, Yuanshi and Jieyin were about to leave when Yunzhongzi and Damo rushed forward.

Upon seeing these two arrive, the two saints knew they had something to say.

So they simply took it outside and blocked out the sound.

"My sage, I think I should withdraw from this journey to the West to obtain the scriptures..."

"Yes, Master, I also want to withdraw. This tribulation is too terrifying! It's simply not something a human could overcome!"

Bodhidharma and Yun Zhongzi looked at the two saints and spoke directly.

The hardships along the way have been too torturous; it would be better to return to Mount Ling!

Upon hearing their words, Yuanshi and Zhunti's expressions darkened.

One was a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, and the other was an avatar of Zhunti.

In fact, they didn't want it to be this way, but the momentous undertaking was related to the hope of Buddhism's turnaround.

"There's no need to say more. You should all know that the Great Tribulation is the most important thing; everything else can be put aside!"

Zhunti sighed and refused outright.

He knew they had it tough, but weren't Buddhist saints the same?

She's been abused so many times, it's utterly miserable!
But there's nothing I can do!

This was entrusted to us by the great god Pangu, and it truly concerns the future of Buddhism.

"That's right. Sun Wukong is now a traitor to Buddhism. If you leave again, what will happen to Tang Sanzang? Alas!"

Yuanshi felt helpless, worried that Tang Sanzang would be turned against them once they left.

Then it's really over!
Upon hearing Yuanshi and Zhunti's words, the two looked helpless.

Actually, they felt the chances were slim, but they just wanted to give it a try.

Perhaps the saints have some way, or can make some promise?

But seeing the two sages looking so dejected, Yun Zhongzi and Bodhidharma both felt a pang of sadness.

After explaining a few more things, Yuanshi and Zhunti looked at Tang Sanzang:
"Tang Sanzang, remember what we told you!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two saints flew back to Mount Ling.

The monkey turned to look at Tang Sanzang, and vaguely felt that it was the sage's words that had changed Tang Sanzang's attitude.

"Wukong, I've been thinking about it. You've endured so many hardships on this journey!"

"Why don't you go and rest for a while...?"

Tang Sanzang hesitated before finally speaking, but dared not look at the monkey.

Yun Zhongzi and Damo, who had just returned looking dejected, also heard it.

They all fell silent, for this was, after all, an arrangement made by the sage for Tang Sanzang.

They don't need to say anything more!
The monkey looked at Tang Sanzang, then at Yun Zhongzi and Bodhidharma.

He seemed to understand something, his face filled with indifference.

Then, without saying a word, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Tang Sanzang could only sigh helplessly!
"Has Buddhism abandoned the monkey?"

"Watching the monkey leave," Little Sugar said.

"Yeah, that's right. They probably realized they couldn't handle the monkey, so they just chased it away!"

The little cutie next to her responded immediately.

"SuSu, come up with a plan quickly! We can't let the monkey leave the pilgrimage team like this!"

"Yeah! Look, even this silly monkey is sad!"

After hearing what Tangtang and Mengmeng said, Xiao Susu pondered for a while.

"Let's add some more spice! Then they'll have no choice but to bring the monkey back, hehe!"

Little Susu's big eyes lit up with an idea, and she chuckled. The little girls then continued discussing the details, their laughter echoing throughout.

Lingshan.

Since leaving Xuan Ying Cave, the barrier has disappeared, and the gods and Buddhas can continue to happily watch the drama unfold.

Everyone was quite surprised to see the monkey leave the group!
After all, for them, having monkeys around meant they were more secure getting through the ordeal.

The monkey has now left, though it hasn't truly left the Buddhist order.

But what about the calamities to come?

The four Buddhist saints didn't seem to mind, as this was something they had planned beforehand. (End of Chapter)
