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

Chapter 152 Changes Among Maitreya's Disciples!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

As night fell, shouts suddenly came from outside the mountains.

Huang Mei recognized the voice immediately and looked in the direction of it, only to see Wu Xing slowly approaching, riding on white clouds.

"Why are you here?"

"Your Majesty, your three fellow disciples have arrived at Little Western Paradise." After landing, Wu Xing dispersed the white clouds beneath his feet and raised his head to respond.

Huang Mei was taken aback: "Fellow disciples?"

The Five Elements nodded: "Buddhist disciples from the East."

"What are they doing here?" Huang Mei asked with a strange expression.

"According to them, they no longer wanted to live a life of idleness and were looked down upon by the disciples of the Buddhist lineage in this world, so they came to Little Western Paradise to seek a future." Wu Xing said, "It seems that they must have suffered some kind of stimulation or humiliation in the Western Paradise."

Huang Mei: "————"

His first reaction to this was surprisingly to think of Infernal Affairs.

But then I thought about it again and realized that was unlikely.

You can question Donglai Buddha's teaching ability, but you cannot question his status and methods.

I fear that the moment this needle was inserted near the Buddha, it would be seen through immediately.

Moreover, neither the needle itself nor the person holding it can afford the associated costs.

After all, the three families are now one family. What are you trying to do by planting a needle in the heart of the family?

"Your Majesty, if you are unwilling or unable to see them for the time being, letting Steward Bai return would be a dignified gesture for them," Wu Xing suggested softly in the silence.

Huang Mei snapped out of his daze, secretly estimating the arrival time of Tang Sanzang and the others, and shook his head, saying, "Su Su is secretly following the pilgrimage team and can't get away, so I'll go back myself."

He then turned to Red Boy and asked, "Are you coming with me, or will you wait here for me?"

Without hesitation, Red Boy replied, "I'll go with you!"

That night.

It was past midnight.

In front of Xiaoleiyin Temple.

Three figures, who declined the invitation, stood side by side on the stone steps, gazing at the eastern star field.

"Do you think he'll agree to give us a chance?" someone suddenly asked.

"Even if I have to kneel on the ground and not get up, or even break my head, I will fight for a chance," one person replied.

Finally, the man calmly said, "Keep your attitude straight. Don't act like a senior brother or mention any brotherly affection. For Master's sake, he will most likely let us stay."

At this point, his feelings became complicated.

Back when Huang Mei unleashed the power of the inner court of the Douluo Continent, none of his fellow disciples had high hopes for him, and most even thought he was doomed.

After all, with Master's strength, dealing with a rebel would be a piece of cake.

But what happened next far exceeded the expectations of all his fellow disciples. Huang Mei entered the world and stirred up trouble. In the process of causing trouble, he actually became a disciple of Maitreya and the light of the inner court of Tushita Heaven.

They saw their master's hearty laughter, and they also saw their master's repeated protection of Huang Mei.

At this point, their attitude finally changed, and they began to reflect on themselves.

Even so, no one expressed any intention to join Huang Mei's side, including the three of them.

The change occurred at a Buddhist gathering not long ago, where disciples from the three lineages gathered to listen to the Dharma. However, before the arrival of the Buddhas and the Patriarch, a dispute arose over the seating arrangement.

As the argument escalated, it turned into a real fight, and the three of them ended up fighting with the disciples of the present-day Buddha lineage, resulting in them being severely punished.

If it's just a matter of getting beaten up, that's fine. If you're not as skilled as others, go home and practice. Once you've improved, you can get your revenge.

But the humiliation that followed shattered their resolve and left them utterly disgraced.

Among the verbal insults, the phrase, "Do you think you're Huang Mei?" was particularly jarring. It suddenly made them realize that if Huang Mei were here, would these people dare to make a move?

Even today, who in the Western Paradise doesn't know what kind of business Huang Mei has been doing in the mortal realm?

It is even rumored that the matter of Manjushri Bodhisattva's ascension to the throne is somewhat related to him!

That wasn't the end of it; the master's later words were even more scathing.

Master said that if you win the fight, even if you are in the wrong, I will still speak up for you.

But you guys lost, making your teacher lose face. Should your teacher stick his neck out and argue for you?

The three of them were so ashamed that they wished they could disappear into a hole.

Later, the Buddha of the East punished them by confining them to their quarters. On the surface, the matter was considered closed, but they could never get over it in their hearts!

Therefore, the three brothers, feeling increasingly frustrated, conspired and secretly ran away from the Inner Court of the Tushita Heaven, holding their breath and heading straight from the Western Paradise to the Lesser Western Paradise, which led to the current situation.

"Someone's here."

Shortly after, one of them caught a glimpse of a golden light in the starry sky out of the corner of his eye and immediately spoke.

The other two straightened up, looking like soldiers being inspected.

In the blink of an eye, the golden clouds descended upon Little Western Heaven, and Yellow Eyebrows, along with Five Elements and Red Boy, came straight to the three of them: "You were looking for me?"

The three knelt down almost simultaneously, kowtowed, and said, "We also want to become demons by pretending to be Buddhas, please take us in, Your Majesty."

Huang Mei neither dodged nor evaded, but Wu Xing leaped away to avoid being bowed to along with the king.

Seeing this, Red Boy suddenly realized what was happening and quickly moved aside.

"Why is this happening, you three?"

Huang Mei lifted the three people up one by one and asked them earnestly.

The three of them immediately began to explain, one after another, recounting the whole story.

Huang Mei listened silently, then calmly said, "What I can do, you may not be able to do."

In this situation, even I, a fake Buddha who has become a demon, need to proceed with extreme caution, walking on thin ice. How much more so you?

Can you understand this, or at least be mentally prepared for it?

"I understand, and I'm prepared."

One person said, "In fact, we don't seek to be comparable to you; we only want to surpass ourselves and stop being a pile of mud that everyone can step on."

"Hua Ji is right, Your Majesty, please take us in," one of them echoed.

The last man raised his right hand and held up three fingers: "I, Goldman Sachs, swear to God that if Your Majesty takes me in, I will serve you faithfully and without any disloyalty."

"Hua Ji (Chi Geng) is the same!" The other two echoed the oath.

Huang Mei said, "There's one thing I need to make clear to you beforehand. Once you enter Little Western Paradise, relationships don't determine status."

The three understood that Huang Mei was worried they would put on airs as disciples of Maitreya in front of the others in the mountains, and immediately promised that they would never act pretentiously as disciples of the Tushita Heavenly Court.

Huang Mei was very satisfied with their attitude, and then turned to Wu Xing and said, "You arrange things for the three of them—"

Nowadays, the power structure of Xiaoleiyin Temple has become pyramid-shaped.

Huang Mei stands alone above the military and political system, a monarch with absolute power.

Bai Susu, as a personal maid and head of internal affairs, ranks in the second tier. When acting on behalf of Huang Mei, she also reigns supreme over the military and political system.

Below that are the two major systems of military and political affairs. The Mischievous Demon King, the Black Bear Spirit, and the Tiger Vanguard belong to the military system.

The Earth God belongs to the Five Elements, and the Flower Snake and Flower Bright belong to the Political System.

Hua Ji, Chi Geng, and Goldman Sachs have now been placed into the political faction by Huang Mei to enrich its structure.

The combination of civil and military skills, and the balance between them, fundamentally prevents situations where civil officials control military forces, or vice versa.
