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

Chapter 133 Bodhisattva, the Human Cult has come knocking! [Third update, please continue reading]

under night.

Inside the palace.

The Crown Prince of Wuji Kingdom suddenly awoke from his bed and was startled to find a dazzling light in the room.

He sat up abruptly and looked intently, only to see a golden deer standing quietly at the door. As if it had caught his gaze, it immediately slipped through the door and fled.

The prince had no time to think, not even time to put on his coat or pick up his weapon. He opened the door barefoot and chased after the enemy.

Following the deer all the way to the Imperial Garden, they saw that the deer had stopped in front of a huge banana tree.

"Are you a fairy deer?"

The crown prince approached step by step and asked in a low voice.

"Someone wants to see you. Please come with me."

Li Xuan, transformed into a deer, spoke in human language. He then raised his front hooves, moved the banana tree aside, kicked away the iron well cover, revealing a well that emitted a faint divine glow.

Seeing this bizarre scene, the crown prince was somewhat frightened and dared not step forward.

Seeing this, Li Xuan had no choice but to walk step by step to him and say, "Don't be afraid, get on my back, I'll carry you forward."

After hesitating for a long time, the prince finally couldn't resist his curiosity, climbed onto the deer's back, and hugged its neck tightly with both hands.

Li Xuan smiled slightly, then immediately leaped into the air and plunged straight into the well.

The moment his figure fell into the well, the iron well cover and the banana tree were all drawn back to their original state by the magical energy, as if the scene just now had never existed.

underwater.

Under the glow of the deer, the prince not only did not feel the coolness of the well water, but even his breathing was normal, which greatly surprised him.

This experience felt like a dream!

Upon arriving at the Crystal Palace, Li Xuan carried the Crown Prince directly to Huang Mei's meditation room and respectfully said, "Master Jia, the Crown Prince has arrived."

"Come in," Huang Mei said calmly from inside the room.

Li Xuanyan listened to the advice and carried the crown prince into the room.

The prince looked up and the first thing he saw was a middle-aged Taoist priest with an air of otherworldly wisdom, followed by—

"Father?!!"

With a sorrowful expression, the King of Wuji Kingdom, dressed in an ochre-yellow robe, opened his arms and called out, "My child."

"No, no, my father couldn't possibly be here." The prince suddenly came to his senses and retreated repeatedly.

The King of Wuji Kingdom silently lowered his arms, sighed deeply, and softly recounted the cause and effect of the matter.

The crown prince was dumbfounded and skeptical.

Finally, the King of Wuji Kingdom said solemnly, "That sorcerer can deceive the civil and military officials and the royal relatives, but he certainly cannot deceive your mother."

If you don't believe me, you can go to the central palace and ask if I've become completely different since that Taoist priest pretended to leave.

The Crown Prince took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself down: "Please send me back. I will go to the Empress's palace to inquire about it first thing tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan immediately looked at Huang Mei on the bed. Seeing that Huang Mei nodded slightly, he then escorted the Crown Prince out of the Crystal Palace.

The next day.

Central Palace.

The Empress, with her gentle demeanor and fair skin, smiled at the Crown Prince and praised him, "My son is becoming more and more valiant."

The crown prince shook his head, dismissed the surrounding maids, and asked seriously, "Mother, since that Taoist priest who prayed for rain to save the country left, have you noticed any changes in Father?"

The Empress's smile faltered slightly: "Why does my son ask such a question?"

"Please answer my question first, Mother," the prince said.

The Empress hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking, "There have been some changes—"

"Some?" the prince emphasized.

The Empress said, "Very well, he's like a completely different person—"

She then explained the differences in detail, which made the crown prince increasingly alarmed, and he gradually came to believe about 70-80% of what had happened the night before.

"That's about it, my son. It's your turn to answer."

"I suddenly noticed that my father is acting a little differently, so I came to ask you for confirmation," the Crown Prince replied.

He didn't want his mother to worry, so he decided to keep his experience from last night a secret for the time being.

The Empress sighed, "That's normal. He and you are becoming more and more distant. You two, father and son, often go months without exchanging a single word."

The crown prince suddenly stood up: "Mother, please rest. I just remembered something I haven't done."

The Empress Dowager quickly instructed, "Take good care of yourself—"

The crown prince nodded heavily, then ran all the way to the imperial garden, went straight to the banana tree, and softly called out, "Deer, deer."

As soon as the words were spoken, the banana tree moved aside automatically, and the iron manhole cover slowly opened.

Without the slightest hesitation, the prince jumped directly into the well that was emitting a faint glow.

a few days later.

As usual, the Lion-like monster sat upright in the Imperial Palace, deep in thought, and wrote down his memorial with a vermilion brush.

In terms of diligence and political ability alone, the former king was far inferior to him.

The reason is not complicated. The original king still had lust, but because he was deceived, his desires decreased significantly, so he devoted most of his energy to political affairs.

"His Majesty."

Suddenly, a young eunuch tiptoed to the palace gate and called out in a low voice.

The lion-like monster looked up and asked, "What is it?"

"Your Majesty, I have learned of some unusual news and have come to inform you," the young eunuch said.

The lion-like monster looked curious and said, "Come in and talk."

Overjoyed, the young eunuch hurriedly stepped into the hall, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been leading people to build a temple opposite Baolin Temple these past few days. Strangely, the construction process is as if divinely aided. In just a few days, a new temple has been completed, which is legendary. Now the news has spread throughout the entire capital."

The lion-like monster narrowed its eyes and hung up its vermilion brush: "What kind of temple did he build?"

The young eunuch said, "It seems to be a temple dedicated to Laozi, where the deity worshipped is Taishang Laojun."

The lion-like monster was startled, immediately realizing something was amiss: "I understand, you may leave now."

"Yes, sir!"

After watching the little eunuch leave, the lion-like monster thought it over and decided to go and see the Laozi Temple himself.

What if it's just an ordinary temple?

What if I'm just overthinking it?

It burrowed underground and arrived in an instant. The lion-like monster stood on the periphery of the crowd, gazing at the new temple ahead. The temple was filled with golden light and ethereal atmosphere, unlike any ordinary temple.

Not to mention, the white-robed temple keeper who was burning incense had a refined aura and was surging with immortal energy; he was clearly an Earth Immortal!

"The People's Education Commission has come knocking on our door?"

The lion-like monster was secretly alarmed, wary of the name "Laojun" in the Laojun Temple, and dared not act rashly. It hurriedly rode the wind away, heading straight for Mount Wutai, where it knelt before the golden image of the Bodhisattva: "Bodhisattva, something terrible has happened!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden image of the Bodhisattva transformed into the true form of Manjushri in a burst of Buddhist light, and asked, "What is it?"

The lion-like creature said strangely, "The crown prince of Wuji Kingdom has been bewitched and has built a Laozi Temple near the capital. I went to see it myself, and the temple keeper is actually an earth immortal."

Manjushri: "————"

Even he found it quite troublesome to face an existence like Laozi!
