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

"I have no idea."

Under the moonlight, dressed in white like a fairy from the moon palace, the holy and noble Sudhana shook her head and said, "He is always unpredictable and unfathomable."

Zhifeng: "..."

For some reason, he felt a pang of unease as if these words were a compliment.

"Senior sister, who is that girl who has been by his side all this time?" After a moment of silence, Zhifeng quietly changed the subject.

The Dragon Girl said, "She is his maid, named Bai Susu."

Zhi Feng nodded: "I think we can take the initiative and use Bai Susu as our breakthrough point!"

The image of Black Wind Cave suddenly flashed through the Dragon Girl's mind, and she said in a low voice, "You'd better not have such thoughts."

Zhi Feng asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"Because that girl was ready to be martyred at any time, and her path was Yellow Eyebrow."

Sudhana explained, "In other words, she was not afraid of death at all, and even regarded a worthwhile death as an honor."

Zhifeng: "..."

He couldn't understand how there could be people in this world who weren't afraid of death.

The greatest driving force for many cultivators is immortality.

Gradually.

The night ends and the day dawns.

Inside the stone house in Huangfeng Ridge.

As the morning light shone through the windows and doors of the house into the room, Sun Wukong's eyelids fluttered twice, and he slowly opened his eyes, immediately feeling no more soreness.

"Okay, okay, big brother, I'm really better now."

With a somersault, Sun Wukong jumped off the bed and shouted happily.

In front of the bed, on the futon.

Huang Mei slowly finished her practice and said with a smile, "That's good. Without you as the main force, it would have been difficult to save Sanzang."

Sun Wukong's smile faded, and he slowly approached him: "Brother, I'll transform into a flower-legged mosquito and sneak into the cave to check the situation."

Huang Mei said, "I'll go with you; we can look out for each other."

Pigsy glanced at Bai Susu and laughed, "Then I'll stay here and take care of Miss Susu."

"They don't need your care, and you have your own mission," Sun Wukong said with a smile.

Pigsy asked curiously, "What is my mission?"

"Find the horse, the White Dragon Horse really needs your care," Sun Wukong instructed.

Pigsy: "..."

Bai Susu's pretty face was pleasing to the eye, but he didn't even want to recall that horse-faced one.

Having made the arrangements, Sun Wukong and Huang Mei transformed into mosquitoes and went straight to the entrance of Huangfeng Cave.

But there, the goblin guarding the door was lying in front of it, fast asleep, snoring loudly.

"Big brother, watch me."

Sun Wukong smiled, then swiftly flew to the little demon and stung him on the eyelid.

The little demon felt a sharp pain in her eyelid and suddenly woke up, only to find that it was already daytime, and her right eyelid was both itchy and painful.

"Those hateful mosquitoes."

Watching the mosquito fly away, the little demon angrily waved the iron rod in her hand, then turned around and opened a hole.

As sunlight streamed into the cave, two mosquitoes quietly flew across the hall and into a large, empty garden, where they saw Tang Sanzang tied to a wooden stake, weeping and wailing.

"Big brother, I'm going to make some noise up ahead. While we're in the chaos, can you take Master away for me?"

Sun Wukong looked into the distance and saw three figures seated as host and guest at the end of the garden, in the main hall. Among them were two familiar faces.

Huang Mei followed his gaze and shook his head, saying, "Wukong, it's not that I underestimate your abilities, but you already have a hard time dealing with just one Yellow Wind King, not to mention he now has two helpers."

In this situation, even if I successfully rescue Tang Sanzang, you will be trapped in the cave, making the situation even more unfavorable.

In the main room, on the guest chair.

Suddenly, the Dragon Girl noticed that the willow branch in her sleeve had turned, with the tip pointing out of the cave, while simultaneously releasing waves of celestial energy.

Suddenly, following the direction pointed up on the branch, two flower-legged mosquitoes came into view, which gave her a clue. She suddenly said:

"Great Sage, if your Samadhi Divine Wind can't kill that monkey, what if you send him to fetch reinforcements?"

Yellow Wind Monster glanced at her, immediately understanding: "What's there to be afraid of? Unless he can go to Little Sumeru Mountain and invite Bodhisattva Lingji, he won't be able to do anything to me!"

Outside the hall, Sun Wukong scratched his cheek and transmitted his voice:

"Wow, wow, wow, big brother! This old monster has no sense of precaution at all; he actually self-destructed his fatal weakness."

Huang Mei shook his head, silently replying, "This matter isn't as simple as you think. Go outside first, and I'll explain it to you properly."

Sun Wukong was stunned, but trusting the other party, he followed them out of the cave...

After flying swiftly to a secluded spot, Yellow Eyebrows transformed back into his original form and addressed the monkey beside him, who had also reverted to its original form:

"The Yellow Wind Monster wasn't without awareness of our presence; rather, he sensed our arrival and deliberately informed us of it."

Their purpose was to get us to go to Mount Sumeru and invite Lingji, thus fulfilling the merits of their present-day Buddhist lineage.

Sun Wukong seemed to understand something, and said, "So, they're using us as pawns?"

"It's a tool," Huang Mei said calmly. "Hidden within it is a Buddhist secret."

A hint of curiosity appeared on Sun Wukong's face: "Brother, is it convenient for you to tell me?"

"You're my brother, how could I possibly hide anything from you?"

Huang Mei smiled and then repeated what she had told Su Su earlier.

Sun Wukong suddenly remembered his elder brother's identity and murmured, "I understand, I understand everything. If I do as they arrange, it will be tantamount to helping my elder brother to fight against the enemy."

Indeed.

Huang Mei nodded and said, "Of course, if you find it troublesome, you can go and invite Lingji over yourself. With their help, the medicine will surely cure the disease."

Sun Wukong frowned and said, "What are you saying, brother? I, Old Sun, am of one mind with you!"

Huang Mei laughed and said, "I'm mainly worried that you're afraid of trouble. After all, there are obviously easier solutions for you."

Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, "Didn't my elder brother say he admired my spirit of resistance against authority and constraints?"

If I didn't know, that would be fine. But now that I know, how can I, Old Sun, be a pitiful and pathetic puppet?

Trying to control me? Heh heh, I'll break his hand!

Huang Mei was speechless.

He forgot that, due to his own nature, this monkey had not lost his pride during those five hundred years of imprisonment!

"Alright, then let's join forces and forge a brand new path together."

"Brother, do you have a plan?" Sun Wukong nodded with a smile.

Huang Mei thought for a moment, then looked up at the Heavenly Court: "Let's drag the Heavenly Court into this mess, share the profits, and alleviate the pressure!"

In the original story, during this ordeal, Jialan, who was positioned as a secret guardian deity, took the initiative to reveal himself, transforming into an old man to provide Sun Wukong with eye medicine, thus gaining a share of merit.

When Sun Wukong learned that Lingji Bodhisattva could subdue demons but did not know where the Bodhisattva was, Taibai Jinxing of the West appeared on his own initiative to guide him. This was the merit that Guanyin bestowed upon the Heavenly Court.

Now, he is about to replace Guanyin's role, using Wukong as a link to contact the Heavenly Court, directly bypassing the role of Lingji Bodhisattva.

The only difficulty lies in whether the Heavenly Court can handle the enhanced version of the Yellow Wind Monster!
