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

Chapter 164 Stirring up the waters and disrupting the plan!

In front of the Blackwater River.

Sanzang stopped at the riverbank, gazing at the riverbank ahead, and saw:

Layer upon layer of thick waves, surging and turbulent.

Layer upon layer of thick, dark waves surged, and ripples rolled up like black oil.

Up close, it doesn't reflect human figures; from afar, it's hard to find the shapes of trees.

It can truly be described as a vast expanse of ink and a boundless expanse of gray.

"We have seen many great rivers and streams on our journey, but we have never seen such dark and black water before. Disciples, does any of you know why this river is this color?" Tang Sanzang asked as he dismounted.

Bajie chuckled: "Perhaps every household has poured indigo into their vats."

Sha Wujing chimed in, "Otherwise, someone might be washing their brushes and inkstones."

Sun Wukong chuckled, "Stop talking nonsense. Do you see any houses around here?"

Sanzang said, "Wukong is right. To know what you know is to know, and not to know what you don't know is not to know. You can't just spout nonsense."

Pigsy, not wanting to be lectured, changed the subject, saying, "There aren't even any people here, let alone boatmen. How are we supposed to cross the river?"

Sanzang said, "The water in the Flowing Sand River is so fine that even a goose feather can't float on it, so there shouldn't be any problem with the water, right? Who among you can throw out a magical artifact? We'll stand on it..."

"If we go up, we can cross the river, right?"

"Master's idea is quite good."

Pigsy said, "It's fine for us to use our magical artifacts to carry ordinary people, but carrying your spiritual body, which has been cultivated for ten lifetimes, is as heavy as a mountain. I'm afraid that once you get on it, the artifact will sink to the bottom."

Sanzang: "————"

Just as he remained silent, Sha Wujing, who was standing nearby, saw a boat approaching on the river and exclaimed joyfully, "Master, Senior Brother, there's a boat!"

The other three looked up and saw a dark-skinned old man piloting a narrow boat through the waves, and they were overjoyed.

Pigsy shouted, "Boatman, come quickly and ferry us across!"

The old man looked up and said, "This is not a ferry."

"It's not a ferry, but it can still ferry people across, right? Please do me the favor," Pigsy said shamelessly.

The boatman hesitated for a moment, then spoke up: "But my boat is small, and there are so many of you, what should we do?"

"It's alright, you only need to ferry me and Master across, my fellow disciples and I will have our own way to cross the river," Pigsy laughed.

Sun Wukong asked with amusement, "Fool, you're incredibly lazy."

Pigsy said with a forced smile, "It's mainly because I'm too fat, it's hard for me to fly."

The boatman said, "Then you two can get on the boat."

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Pigsy was helping Tang Sanzang, preparing to step onto the small boat, a soft shout suddenly rang out on the riverbank.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a perfect couple, like a golden boy and a jade girl, walking side by side, arriving in front of the white horse in an instant.

"Second Brother, is there something wrong with this boat?" Sun Wukong asked.

Huang Mei greeted Sanzang and the others, then replied, "The boat is fine, the problem is with the people; there isn't a single house around, yet this boat has arrived. Isn't that strange?"

The boatman said, "Why are you starting to doubt me? I wasn't here to pick you up, nor was I here to ferry you. I tried to help, but it's backfired."

Huang Mei sneered and called out, "Su Su."

Bai Susu nodded slightly, then suddenly released her flying sword, aiming straight for the boatman's face.

The boatman's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly lifted the boat up, using it to block the view in front of him.

"Ding!"

The flying sword struck the bottom of the ship with great force, but was knocked back directly.

The ship instantly transformed into an open black coffin, crashing from the sky onto the water and stirring up a cloud of black water.

"Hiss~"

Looking at the eerie black coffin, Sanzang couldn't help but gasp.

If I were to board the ship, wouldn't I be walking into my own coffin?

"What a monster! Even I, Old Sun, couldn't see through your demonic form."

Sun Wukong let out a cold shout, and with a flick of his wrist, he pulled the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) from his ear and struck with the force of thunder.

But the old man did not fight him. Instead, he hid inside the coffin, rushed into the river, and let his golden cudgel skim across the water, creating countless black waves.

The next moment, countless black mists appeared on the Blackwater River, eerie and cold, causing Sun Wukong, who was about to chase into the river, to stop in his tracks, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

The black mist carries a strong aura of the underworld. Could it be that the monster is a ghost or deity from the netherworld?

Riverside.

Sanzang stared at the billowing black mist in the river and shivered for no reason. He turned around and said, "Huangmei, it's fortunate that you arrived in time, otherwise this humble monk would have been in trouble again."

Huang Mei smiled slightly: "This is simply my duty."

"Junior Uncle, can the nine skulls you took back then be used to cross this river?" Pigsy suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked up to ask.

"Without this black fog, it might be possible; but crossing the river in the black fog, who knows where we'll land?" Huang Mei said.

Sun Wukong took a deep breath and exhaled fiercely towards the river. Instantly, a gale roared like a ferocious tiger, shaking heaven and earth and making ghosts and gods weep.

However, the black mist kept dispersing, turning into wisps and strands, avoiding the divine power of the raging wind, and finally, when the wind subsided, it gathered together again in one place.

"There is no solution, absolutely no solution."

"How about burning it?" Pigsy suggested.

Sun Wukong formed a hand seal and unleashed a ball of divine fire, but the black mist still dispersed and gathered, completely unaffected.

"Wind won't work, fire won't work, and water is even less of a possibility. To solve this, we still have to start with that monster."

Sha Wujing said, "I am good at swimming, why don't I go into the water and show you?"

Huang Mei waved his hand and said, "This water is not clean, and the underwater situation is unknown. What if you go into the water and are surrounded and attacked? Wouldn't that be terrible?"

Therefore, we still need to understand things clearly first; know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

Pigsy said, "Given the width of this body of water, there must be a river god in charge. Perhaps that demon is the local river god."

All the river gods in the world are managed by the Water Virtue Star Lord. Senior Brother can go to Heaven and ask the Water Virtue Star Lord.

Seeing that they had come up with a solution and direction in just a few words, Sun Wukong was quite pleased and turned to say, "Second Brother, Master, I'll be right back."

Huang Mei nodded and said, "Go ahead, I'm here, there's no need to worry."

Although he knew that the monster must be a little dragon and knew its identity and background, he was even more aware that if they went directly to the West Sea, the West Sea Dragon King would definitely not recognize them.

At that time, besides getting a pointless argument, it will not make any progress on the outcome!

half an hour.

Sun Wukong somersaulted back to the Blackwater River bank and said to the crowd, "I've found out that the water monster is probably not the Blackwater River God."

"Why?" Pigsy asked.

Sun Wukong replied, "The Blackwater River God here is named Li Yu. He is old and frail, and has no ambition. He would never dare to rob our master."

It must be that demons have taken over his water palace and are causing trouble there.

By the way, the Water Deity also said that if we can't find the original River God, we can look for the River God Seal first.

That monster could occupy the water palace, but it couldn't refine the River God Seal issued by the Heavenly Court.

With the River God Seal, we have a high probability of finding the original River God.

"And by finding the original river god, we can understand the origins of this monster!"
