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

Chapter 136 The Dragon Girl's Scheme, Sanzang Weeps! [Third Update, Please Continue Reading]

Upon hearing this, the lion-like monster seemed to have been tickled and couldn't help but laugh: "To be honest, disguise is my forte; that's why I was able to stand out among all the disciples of Mount Wutai and get this mission."

The Dragon Girl asked, "Then—can we fool Sun Wukong's fiery eyes?"

The lion exclaimed, "I'm 80% confident!"

"Eighty percent, that's not low."

The Dragon Girl nodded slightly and pressed on, "Have you ever seen what Tang Sanzang looks like now?"

The lion-like monster shook its head: "No—you want me to become like him? And what is the purpose of doing so?"

"We have two objectives. First, to disrupt Huang Mei's plans and force him to follow our lead. In this way, we will naturally have the advantage."

Secondly, by maximizing the difficulty for them to pass the test, they are forced to seek help from the Bodhisattva. " said Sudhana.

The lion-like monster pondered, "The idea is good, but it's quite difficult to implement. For example, if they ask about the shared experiences of the pilgrimage team, how would I be able to answer?"

The Dragon Girl smiled and said, "We have the general direction; we just need to refine the details around that direction."

The problem you raised is actually quite easy to solve.

In the underworld, there is a place called the Mirror of Karma. On the Mirror of Karma, there is a magical artifact called the Mirror of Karma, which can clearly reflect all the good and evil deeds of a person, showing every detail.

Therefore, simply borrowing this item will allow you to read through all of Tang Sanzang's experiences on his journey.

The lion-like monster paused slightly, then pondered, "There's one more thing: Tang Sanzang is protected by a group of guardian deities—"

"These guardian deities were all arranged by my family's Bodhisattva; they are our own people," Sudhana interrupted.

The lion-like creature asked in surprise, "What if, besides their Fiery Eyes of Truth, they possess other spells or magical artifacts capable of detecting illusions?"

With a flick of her wrist, the Dragon Girl of Good Fortune took out a willow branch and said in a deep voice, "I will use this willow branch to enhance your transformation spell, which will increase its effectiveness by at least 15 percent."

In this situation, if it is still discovered, it can only be said that it was not a fault of the commander.

The lion-like monster exhaled a breath of stale air: "I have no other questions for now."

"Then let's just wait for Tang Sanzang to walk right into our trap."

Sudhana nodded, then said to Zhifeng, "Junior brother, go and keep an eye on the pilgrimage team, and come back to report anytime."

"Yes, Senior Sister!" Zhi Feng clasped his hands in acceptance of the order.

On the westward journey.

Meanwhile, the pilgrimage team, having endured hardships of sleeping in the water and braving the wind and dew, traveled for a long time when suddenly they came upon another high mountain blocking their path. Sanzang couldn't help but ask, "Wukong, are there any demons in these mountains?"

Sun Wukong couldn't help but chuckle. He opened his fiery eyes and peered out with his golden pupils, only to see layers upon layers of pavilions and towers in the mountain hollow.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the main gates of a Taoist temple and a Buddhist temple face each other, the Laozi Pavilion faces the Tathagata Hall, and the Welcoming Pine faces the White Stone Pagoda, creating a scene of confrontation.

"Master, there are no demons, but there are two temples."

"Two?" Sanzang asked in surprise.

"I'll clear the way; you'll see when you get closer," Sun Wukong said with a smile as he walked ahead.

Sanzang immediately spurred his white horse forward, galloping swiftly to the main road between the Taoist temple and the Buddhist monastery. There he instantly understood the meaning of "two temples"—

"Master, shall we go into the Taoist temple or the Buddhist temple?" Sha Wujing asked.

Sanzang frowned and said, "That's a very unclear question. We are monks, what would we do at his Taoist temple?"

Sha Wujing said, "Is it just lodging? As long as there's a bed to sleep in, what difference does it make whether it's a Taoist temple or a Buddhist monastery?"

Sanzang: "————"

Sun Wukong couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Brother Sha has returned to his true self."

Sanzang was a little angry and said in a low voice, "Alright, enough of this idle talk. You lot have ugly faces and vulgar language. If you go to ask for lodging, you might frighten the monks here. Wait here while I go and discuss it with you."

Sun Wukong raised his hand and said, "Master, if you want to go, then go. Why belittle us? Go, go, no need for further words."

Sanzang had no intention of arguing with him. He straightened his clothes, put his palms together, and went straight into the Buddhist temple. Soon he passed through the mountain gate and stepped into the temple.

As he walked forward, he happened to see a handsome monk wearing a Vairocana hat and a red kasaya leading several young monks out of the three gates. He quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, venerable monk."

The senior monk looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the man was dressed in shabby clothes and covered in dust. He immediately understood what was going on: "Monk, something's wrong."

""

Sanzang said, "Reporting to the venerable monk, our master and his three disciples are passing by this temple. As it is getting late, we would like to ask to stay the night in this temple. Please do us the favor."

"Do you have money?" the head monk asked.

Sanzang was taken aback: "Money?"

"That's right, gold, silver, or jewels are all acceptable," the head monk said.

Sanzang looked at him strangely: "I have to pay for lodging?"

"You monk are so ignorant."

The senior monk said coldly, "Since you're staying here, shouldn't I make arrangements for you?"

You slept in the bed and left some clutter behind, so do I still have to hire someone to clean it?

Why should I do these things for you if you don't pay me? Do I owe you anything?

Sanzang's face flushed red from the retort, and he said, "High monk, I can stay without a bed and won't leave any clutter; since you're just asking for lodging, I naturally won't cause you any trouble."

The head monk laughed and pointed to the corridor not far away, saying, "Good riddance, then you can go squat under the corridor—"

Sanzang was so angry that he cried, his eyes filled with tears: "Monk, it's fine if you don't let us stay overnight, but why do you have to humiliate this poor monk?"

'

The senior monk sneered: "It's just that the previous generation cut down the tree."

Many years ago, a few wandering monks came here to stay. I treated them warmly, not only giving them food but also lending them Yu Jing's clothes.

Unexpectedly, they actually became attached to my Baolin Temple, not only refusing to leave but also causing trouble.

Seeing you today reminded me of them.

After saying this, he immediately called his disciples forward, and even deliberately added, "Make sure to lock the doors and windows."

Sanzang swallowed his anger and silently walked out of the magnificent Baolin Temple, hurrying to the main gate.

"Master, can we go in now?" Sun Wukong asked.

Sanzang shook his head: "Don't go in, this is not a good place; although the temple is magnificent, the monks are petty and narrow-minded."

Sun Wukong chuckled and said, "Master, it seems that even if it looks good, it can't be used as money."

Tripitaka was furious and about to retort when a voice suddenly rang out from behind them: "Gentlemen, what are you all doing standing here?"

"Second Brother!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Sun Wukong turned around in surprise and indeed saw the figure of Huang Mei in front of the Taoist temple.

Huang Mei smiled and nodded, then looked at Sanzang.

Sanzang asked in surprise, "Yellow-Eyebrowed Benefactor, what brings you here?"

"I was invited here by the temple keeper of this Lao Jun Temple," Huang Mei said.

"What brings you here?" Sun Wukong asked.

Huang Mei said, "I've come to take on a case—you've come at the right time, come in and listen."

Sanzang: "————"

He instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Perfect timing?

Is it really that coincidental?
