Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 252: Journey to the West

Shuangchaling is the first mountain outside the western border of the Tang Dynasty.

As Tang Monk, riding a white horse, entered with his two followers, a tiger's roar echoed through the forest.

Then, three figures appeared, with human bodies and animal heads. The leader was a tiger demon, who called himself the Demon King of Yin. The other two were a wild bear demon and a wild bull demon. They were the three little demons summoned by Fuxi with the demon-summoning flag.

"Demon, monster!"

When the two followers saw this situation, they no longer cared about Tang Seng and turned around and ran back to the Tang Dynasty.

According to the plan, they should ignore Tang Seng and chase the two followers away. Their mission was only to scare away the two followers and let Tang Seng travel west alone.

But they heard rumors that eating Tang Monk's flesh could give them immortality, so they became disloyal and attacked Tang Monk.

Tang Seng had never seen such a scene before. He was so frightened that he froze in place, and his white horse was paralyzed with fear.

"Evil creature, how outrageous."

Yang Jian, transformed into a hunter, had to take action. The magic golden slingshot transformed into a bow and arrow, and three arrows were fired at the same time, killing the three little monsters instantly.

"Monk, what are you doing here alone?" Yang Jian walked up to Tang Seng.

Hearing Yang Jian's voice, Tang Seng came back to his senses and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for saving me, brave man. I am following the order of His Majesty the King of Tang to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures."

"So that's how it is. My surname is Yang. The road to the west is long and the mountains are high. There are many monsters and ghosts in the wild mountains and wilderness. How can a weak monk like you go there?" Yang Jian played along.

"The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara told me that there is a powerful monkey on the Five Fingers Mountain. We have a master-disciple relationship and the monkey can protect me on my journey to the West." The reincarnated Tang Monk is extremely honest. He does not have any of the fierceness he had when he was the six-winged golden cicada. He does not hide anything when facing the hunter transformed by Yang Jian.

"It takes five days to get to Wuzhi Mountain from here. The road is mostly rugged and full of wild animals. How can you get there alone?"

"Forget it, since there's nothing else to do, I'll just send you to Five Finger Mountain."

Yang Jian said.

Having said this, the two of them set off.

In heaven, all the gods looked at Fuxi. Fuxi felt embarrassed and angry. Even the little demons in the celestial realm did not listen to him. This was a slap in the face of him as the Demon King.

"The Demon King should warn the demons who are making trouble more often, so that they don't really eat the people who are seeking the scriptures." Guanyin said worriedly.

Fuxi felt the sound of being slapped on the face. With a gloomy face, he turned into a stream of light and left to warn the monsters who were making trouble.

Below, Yang Jian shot and killed many wild beasts along the way and protected Tang Seng to the vicinity of Five Finger Mountain.

"Master, that is the Five Finger Mountain. There are no monsters or wild beasts nearby. It is a rare pure land. I will take you there. Please take care of yourself."

Yang Jian left after he finished speaking.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang."

Tang Seng bowed in gratitude and rode alone to Wuzhi Mountain.

There are no demons or monsters here because the Five Jiedis are guarding here and Guanyin has already greeted them before.

"Great Sage, the pilgrim is here, come out quickly!"

The Five Directions Jie Di gave a warning towards the Five Finger Mountain.

Not long ago, Sun Wukong succeeded in cultivating the Five Qi Clone, which took five hundred years and consumed a huge amount of resources. He consumed three hundred Nine-Turn Five Qi Pills, and one hundred Five Qi Stones, which were more precious than the Nine-Turn Five Qi Pills.

Even if he was the Jade Emperor's son, he would probably not be willing to spend so much resources on him.

Tathagata was very humiliating and left only a small opening in the Five Finger Mountain so that Sun Wukong could only stick his head out.

But at this moment, Sun Wukong had to surrender, and Tathagata used the two great magical powers of Buddhism - the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm and the Six-Character Mantra.

Even if he had united the five energies into one and his cultivation had soared to the peak of the Golden Immortal, he might not be able to break free.

The magical powers of Buddhism are indeed unique.

"Master, Master, here, here."

Seeing Tang Seng coming on horseback, Sun Wukong called out in response.

The Five-Directions Jie Di appeared, spoke to Tang Seng, and then left.

Tang Seng took off the six-character mantra, and Sun Wukong broke free from the Five Finger Mountain and flew out. He landed in front of Tang Seng and cast a body purification spell to remove all the stains on his body, revealing his true form, a golden monkey, very cute. Tang Seng was no longer afraid when he saw this.

The two rested for a while, chatted for a while and became familiar with each other. Sun Wukong led the horse, and the horse carried Tang Seng, and they went all the way west.

In heaven, Guanyin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this scene.

The previous incident between Sun Wukong and Tang Monk made her extremely anxious, and she was afraid that this Monkey King would cause trouble again.

Fortunately, the monkey had been suppressed for five hundred years, and she often went to comfort and guide it, and it was finally tamed. The journey to the West was officially on track.

As long as Tianpeng and General Juanlian are included in the Journey to the West team, everything will be fine.

In the lower world, Sun Wukong and Tang Seng came to a farmer's house. It was already late, so the master and disciple went to ask for the night.

"Monster, monster."

There lived a grandfather and grandson in the farmhouse. They were terrified when they saw Sun Wukong.

"Hey, old man, we have met before. When I was trapped under the Five Finger Mountain, you brought me fruits. You were still a child at that time."

"Why do I become less courageous as I get older?"

Sun Wukong recognized his father-in-law and went over to him.

After hearing what Sun Wukong said, the old man remembered and was not so afraid anymore.

Sun Wukong jumped up and down, thinking of repaying the old man, so he taught his grandson martial arts.

The next morning, there was a noise in the yard. Sun Wukong and Tang Seng went out to see that it was a group of robbers who were rummaging through the old man's house and stealing things.

The old man protected his grandson and huddled in the corner.

"Master, what should we do?" Sun Wukong asked Tang Seng.

"Just drive them away, don't hurt anyone's life." Tang Seng ordered.

"Okay." Sun Wukong took out his golden cudgel, which kept getting bigger and bigger. With one cudgel, he smashed a mountain in the distance and crippled it. The five bandits were so scared that they ran away quickly.

"thanks, thanks."

The old man pulled his grandson over and thanked him repeatedly.

Sun Wukong looked at the grandfather and grandson deeply, gritted his teeth, and said nothing in the end.

After breakfast, Sun Wukong and Tang Seng continued their journey westward.

After walking for two hours, when they passed a river, Sun Wukong took the purple gold bowl to fetch water for Tang Seng to drink, but he couldn't find the purple gold bowl.

"Oh no, the purple gold bowl fell into the house of that old man." Sun Wukong slapped his head.

"You go back and get it. I'll wait for you here." Tang Seng was not angry. He also helped pack the luggage.

"No, the mountains here are high and the forests are dense, with many wild animals. It's dangerous for you to be here alone, Master. It's not far, let's go back together to get it."

Sun Wukong shook his head and refused to allow Tang Seng to refuse, so he led the horse back.

The gods in heaven were speechless for a while, but they didn't think much about it. They just felt that the master and disciple were wasting their time.

Only Yang Jian sneered. These high and mighty gods still did not understand enough about the evil of human nature.

Tang Seng’s Buddhist heart is probably about to collapse.

When the master and his apprentice returned to the farmhouse, they saw blood all over the ground and the grandfather and grandson lying in a pool of blood.

"What, what's going on?"

Tang Seng's face changed drastically.

"It was that group of robbers. It must have been that group of robbers who did it. We drove them away, and they held a grudge against us. When they saw us leave, they came back and killed the grandfather and grandson to vent their anger."

"It's us. We are the ones who killed the grandfather and grandson."

Every word Sun Wukong said was heart-wrenching.
