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

Chapter 171 In an instant, the situation reversed!

Not long after.

Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhen Yuanzi smiled and ushered his two sworn brothers into the main hall. He then ordered Qingfeng and Mingyue to go and fetch ginseng fruit and brew immortal tea, respectively, showing the kindness and enthusiasm of an elder brother.

"Brother, if we come a few more times, you won't be able to keep any fruit on your ginseng fruit tree."

Sitting upright in the wooden chair, watching the two fairy boys place the fruit and fairy tea on the table beside him, Sun Wukong smiled and joked.

Zhen Yuanzi chuckled: "With my current cultivation level, ginseng fruit is no longer a miraculous medicine for cultivation; it's just a thirst-quenching and craving-satisfying immortal fruit."

On the contrary, it is a tonic for you, so it is better for you to take it than for outsiders.

Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, "That's not how it works. This fruit is a rare treasure in the world. Brother, you can use it to exchange for many things."

"It's alright, just eat in peace. What I really need can't be exchanged for ginseng fruit," Zhen Yuanzi reassured him again.

Huang Mei laughed and said, "If that's the case, then we'll use your fruit, brother, to do something."

Zhen Yuanzi asked curiously, "What is it?"

Huang Mei then recounted the story of the water ghost stealing the children, and finally pointed to the ginseng fruit, saying, "I would like to trouble you, brother, to use these two ginseng fruits as a reward to capture the water ghost and find the thirty-two children."

If anyone can capture the water ghost, they will be given a fruit.

If you can send those thirty-two children back to their homes, you will receive another piece of fruit.

Zhen Yuanzi's smile vanished, and he solemnly said, "The one who used children as bait and good intentions as a hook to set up this trap is truly the Poison Immortal. Qingfeng, Mingyue, quickly issue a bounty in my name to the entire Earthly Immortal Realm."

"Yes." Qingfeng Mingyue bowed and then strode out of the main hall.

Zhen Yuanzi exhaled a breath of stale air and said gently, "My two brothers, please eat some fruit. If anyone can truly do these two things, I will give them two more fruits as a gift."

Huang Mei waved his hand and said, "No, no, let's use these two fruits as the reward. As for us, we can eat the immortal fruits next time we visit."

Zhen Yuanzi chuckled to himself, silently admiring Huang Mei's principles, and thus refrained from further persuasion.

In reality, what he didn't know was that Huang Mei was doing this not out of principle, but for the sake of merit.

After all, with the ginseng fruit offered as a reward, the merit points gained would definitely be greater.

In just half a day, the bounty order of the Ancestor of Earthly Immortals spread throughout the entire Earthly Immortal Realm.

For a time, not only were the rogue cultivators and immortals of the mortal world tempted, but even the righteous gods appointed by the Heavenly Court to serve in the mortal world were also interested.

Ginseng fruit is nothing to Zhen Yuanzi, but to the wandering immortals and righteous gods, it is a divine object that they can't even smell. Now that they have the opportunity to taste this divine object, how can they remain indifferent?

And so, with the Blackwater River as the center, countless immortal cultivators and gods soon appeared on the earth.

With keen eyes, they launched an extensive search, almost like a carpet search, which sparked a frenzy of searching for the missing person.

This commotion naturally alerted Zhifeng, Baiyun, and Xiao Tuolong.

In this vast ocean formed by immortals and gods, if it were just the three of them, they could have easily hidden themselves. The problem is that they also brought many children with them.

Even if the children were turned into sheep or other small animals, they could not escape the scrutiny of the immortals.

Left with no other choice, they had to abandon the children.

Thus, a local deity became the lucky one who found the children and, with the fastest speed and highest efficiency in his life, sent them back to their respective homes.

Then, filled with immense excitement, and carrying thirty-two letters, he ascended to Wuzhuang Temple, accompanied by many wandering immortals and true gods, and received a ginseng fruit from Huang Mei.

Suspended in front of Longevity Mountain, watching the Earth God swallow the ginseng fruit on the spot, his whole body radiating brilliant immortal light, many immortals and gods with ulterior motives immediately sighed with regret.

In fact, they came along not to escort him, but to trick or steal the ginseng fruit from the local earth god after he obtained it.

After all, once the Wuzhuang Temple handed the ginseng fruit over to the Earth God, the transaction was complete, and it was impossible for them to seek justice for him.

Unfortunately, the local earth god was also clever; he ate the ginseng fruit right there at Wuzhuang Temple, thwarting all their schemes.

However, thinking of the other reward, these cultivators perked up again and turned back to search for Little W Dragon's whereabouts as if digging three feet into the ground.

Why is it a little dragon, and not a water ghost?

This is because when Huang Mei gave the fruit to the Earth God, he personally revealed that the water ghost's origin was Little W Dragon!

Chechi Kingdom's border town.

Inside the dungeon.

Baiyun carried a four-tiered wooden lunchbox into the deepest part of the world and said to the two people who were looking at him, "After that Earth God broke through three realms in a row because of the ginseng fruit, almost all the immortal cultivators in the entire Earth Immortal Realm went crazy."

There are more people searching for the W-dragon on the ground than hairs on a head right now; they'll probably find this place very soon.

Little W Dragon's expression changed slightly, and he said, "If all else fails, I'll trouble you to go to the Western Sea and invite my cousin, Prince Moang, here. He'll definitely be able to take me away. At worst, I'll hide in the Western Sea for a few hundred years and come out again when things have calmed down."

Bai Yun silently put down the lunchbox, shook her head and said, "Everyone knows about your relationship with Xihai, so Xihai has become a key area to be monitored. Let alone your cousin Moang, even if a water demon came out, countless people would follow it."

Xiaolong:

—”

He never imagined that the situation would collapse like this in an instant, when they had clearly held the initiative before!

"How about we make you suffer a little and use a magic weapon to take you back to the Western Sea?" Zhifeng said from the side.

Baiyun asked, "Why do you always think that the Western Sea is safe?"

Didn't you ever consider that there might be aquatic creatures coveting the ginseng fruit inside the Western Sea?

Especially for those aquatic generals who have no ties to their families, exchanging their position for a ginseng fruit doesn't seem like a difficult thing to do.

Stop the wind:

Xiaolong:

"Baiyun, you chose this path for me, so you have to take responsibility for my future."

After a while, the little alligator suddenly grabbed Baiyun's arm and said with a serious expression.

Bai Yun calmly said, "You have one more chance."

"What opportunity?" Little W Dragon asked hurriedly, as if grasping at a straw.

"Those who are virtuous in life will be remembered after death; the people will build temples for them, and the ruler will posthumously confer titles upon them."

After completing this series of operations, if any immortals or deities come to take you away, the people's will and the nation's fortune will naturally help you resist.

"If the Heavenly Court were to arrest you again, the people or believers could plead with Heaven to lessen your punishment," Baiyun said.

The little alligator dragon hesitated and asked, "Does it really have to happen once?"

"He must die, otherwise the effect of being mourned by the people will not be achieved," Baiyun replied.

Little W Dragon silently clenched his fists, making up his mind: "So, where should I begin?"

At this point, he dared not hope to complete the mission any longer, and only wished to protect himself.
