Journey to the West: Upon seeing the Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon, why not pay homage?

Chapter 128 Muzha's Dilemma, Guanyin's Helplessness! [First Update, Please Read On]

Compared to Li Jing, Madam Yin felt much lighter. She smiled and stood up, asking gently, "Did Huang Mei say who he was looking for? Was he looking for Master or me?"

"They said they were visiting you two," the servant replied.

Lady Yin nodded slightly and turned to look at Li Jing.

Although Li Jing had a vague sense of unease, he was unwilling to show his fear. He slowly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Bring them in."

For him, Huang Mei's current status and position were not enough to warrant a personal welcome from a dignified Heavenly King like himself and his wife!

"Here you are."

The servant bowed and accepted the order. He then moved with the agility of a swallow and appeared in front of the Huiyunlou Palace gate, leading the three of them back to the flower garden.

"Greetings, Master and Madam."

Upon seeing the two men face to face, Fish Belly and Yaksha immediately knelt down.

"What happened to your leg?" Li Jing asked, frowning as he stared at Yu Du's right leg.

Yu Du glanced at Huang Mei silently, then lowered his head and said, "I bumped into him while escaping."

Li Jing: "————"

Are you kidding me?

You are, after all, a celestial being!

"Greetings, Heavenly King Li and Madam Yin." Huang Mei clasped his hands together but did not bow.

Seeing this, Li Jing frowned slightly: "Master Huangmei, whether from the perspective of official rank or lineage, you cannot be so rude, can you?"

Huang Mei said, "It's because the Heavenly King was impolite first."

Li Jing: "————"

He knew what the other person was talking about.

However, Madam Yin was unaware of this and asked in confusion, "Huang Mei, what do you mean by that?"

Huang Mei said seriously, "King Li suspects that I am involved in the assassination of the king, so he sent these two generals to spy on me in secret."

If it weren't for the Jade Emperor's Token in my possession that allowed me to detect and spy on things, I'm afraid I would be completely unaware of this by now.

Lady Yin:

She had argued with her husband about this matter before, and thought she had convinced him, but she never expected—

What no one expected was that Fish Belly General and Yaksha General had been caught red-handed by Yellow Eyebrows. Now, with nothing to hide and no fear, they've come knocking on our door, which is truly humiliating.

"So, you've come here to question me?"

Li Jing pursed his lips, brazenly maintaining his composure.

"yes!"

Huang Mei looked directly into his eyes and said in a low voice, "I feel betrayed. King Li, what is my attitude towards the Li family, and what is the Li family's attitude towards me?"

Li Jing was speechless.

Madam Yin's lips twitched, and she had no choice but to step in and comfort him, saying, "Master Huangmei, please calm down for my sake."

My master is just too eager to find out the truth about the assassination attempt on the king, and he even suspects Zha'er because of it. He is definitely not targeting you.

Furthermore, I can assure you that this will not happen again, and I hope it will not affect our relationship.

Seeing his wife apologize and make promises to the other party, Li Jing felt very uncomfortable. However, he felt guilty and was wary of the other party's background, so he couldn't say anything against his will.

"I have a very good personal relationship with Madam, and I have always admired her character. Since Madam has said so, I will pretend this never happened," Huang Mei said gently, seizing the opportunity to back down.

Madam Yin breathed a silent sigh of relief, feeling even more favorably disposed towards the young monk before her: "Please stay for a meal."

Huang Mei shook his head: "I still have things to attend to in the mortal realm, so I won't stay any longer. Madam, Heavenly King Li, I'll take my leave."

Madam Yin said, "I'll see you off."

"No need, Madam, please wait." Huang Mei smiled and waved, his body suddenly turning into light and disappearing into the distance.

"You two are useless!" Upon seeing this, Li Jing angrily rebuked the two divine generals.

"You may all leave now," Madam Yin suddenly interjected.

The two gods were as if they had been granted a pardon. The Yaksha general helped the Fish-belly general and they ran out of the flower garden in a flash.

"Cough cough."

Li Jing coughed lightly and smiled, "My lady, it's fortunate you were here just now, otherwise I would have been in a very awkward situation."

Madam Yin did not reply, but simply looked at him quietly.

Li Jing had no choice but to say, "I accept all the promises you just made to him, and I will never investigate him again."

Madam Yin sighed, turned around and said, "I don't want to say anything more. You can stay here by yourself."

Li Jing: "————"

"Father, what are you standing there for?"

After an unknown amount of time, Li Jing was suddenly awakened by a shout.

Upon closer inspection, Erzi Muzha's face immediately came into view—

"You're back. How did the investigation go?"

"No results." Mu Zha said with a strange expression, "Although my third brother is somewhat unruly, he doesn't seem like the murderer."

Li Jing paused slightly, his determination to catch the culprit suddenly fading considerably. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, stop investigating."

Mu Zha asked in surprise, "Father, has something happened?"

Li Jing waved his hand and said, "It's alright, you can go back to the Purple Bamboo Grove."

Mu Zha: "————"

half an hour.

When Muzha arrived at the Purple Bamboo Forest from the Ninth Heaven, whether by coincidence or not, he happened to encounter the Dragon Girl and Zhifeng recounting the calamity at Pingding Mountain to the Bodhisattva.

"You can continue."

At this moment, facing the three pairs of eyes looking towards him, Mu Zha immediately spoke.

The Dragon Girl shook her head: "I've basically finished talking—Senior Brother Huian, have you taken care of your family matters?"

'

Mu Zha paused slightly: "It's neither good nor bad, it's just that it's come to an end."

The Dragon Girl then asked, "Could you come with us? With your help, Senior Brother, we'll definitely be able to suppress Huang Mei."

Muzha asked, "What will the next trial be like?"

On the lotus throne, Guanyin slowly spoke: "The next tribulation's merit has been arranged for the lineage of Manjushri. The specific arrangement is that Manjushri's mount, the blue-haired lion, will be sent down to the mortal world by imperial decree to push the king of the Wuji Kingdom into a well."

Then, impersonating the other party, he seized power in the Kingdom of Wuji. When the pilgrimage team arrived, they rescued the king and expelled the evil spirits, thus completing their mission.

Mu Zha's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Why would you want to push the king into the well to drown him?"

Guanyin shook her head and waved her hand: "Of course not. The preordained cause was that the king was favored by the Buddha because of his benevolence and charity, and the Buddha wanted to guide him to the Western Paradise to attain the golden body of an Arhat."

However, when Manjushri Bodhisattva disguised himself as an ordinary monk to investigate, he was drowned for three days by the king due to a verbal conflict.

In response, the Buddha sent Manjushri's mount, the blue-haired lion, to the mortal realm to retaliate.

The lion transformed into a Taoist priest, pushed the king into the octagonal glazed well in the royal garden, and drowned him for three years. It then took the lion's form and seized control of the court.

Furthermore, during those three years, he governed the Kingdom of Wuji with remarkable efficiency, ensuring peace and prosperity for the people, leaving no room for criticism.

After pondering for a while, Mu Zha asked again, "About the harem—"

Guanyin smiled and said, "How could we not have considered this? That lion demon was deceived and would never be able to commit adultery in the harem."

Mu Zha secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still shook his head and said, "Even so, I can't help."

"Why is that?" Zhifeng asked hurriedly.

Muzha said, "First of all, Manjushri Bodhisattva transformed into an ordinary monk, but he didn't really become an ordinary monk. As long as he wanted to leave, how could the palace guards stop him?"

To anyone else, it seemed as if he had deliberately been soaked in the king's water for three days as a pretext to punish the king.

Moreover, the king spent three days pursuing him, and he pursued the king for three years, demonstrating an unusually strong desire for revenge.

Last time I helped Kui Mulang deal with Huang Mei and his gang, which greatly displeased my mother.

If, under these circumstances, I were to help that wicked lion demon again, and Huang Mei were to report me to my mother, I fear she would force me to leave the Buddhist order.

Guanyin: 6

"Dragon Girl, Zhifeng: "6"
