Journey to the West: Upon seeing the Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon, why not pay homage?
Chapter 42: Lingji: I hate that he's not my disciple! [Chapter 4, please continue reading~]
Yellow Wind Monster's martial arts skills were comparable to Sun Wukong's, but their physical abilities were vastly different.
Therefore, after a hundred or so rounds, his arms became increasingly sore and weak. When he saw the sinister yellow-browed man raising his terrifying bag towards him, he was immediately terrified and hurriedly spat out a breath of Samadhi Divine Wind towards Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong had already suffered from the divine wind once, so he was prepared and dodged it with a somersault, but also relaxed his control over the Yellow Wind Monster.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Yellow Wind Monster immediately soared into the sky, but unexpectedly a golden light suddenly fell from the clouds, turning into a high-speed spinning golden cymbal, which slammed heavily onto his head with a clang.
The Yellow Wind Monster was stunned, seeing stars before his eyes. His body swayed back and forth like a kite with a broken string before falling rapidly back to the ground.
From the clouds, Bai Susu revealed her fair face and smiled as she put away the golden cymbal.
No one knows when she flew up into the sky to lie in ambush, but at crucial moments, she always plays a key role.
The same principle applies to stopping the Black Bear Demon back then, and it also applies to stopping the Yellow Wind Monster now.
However, the Black Bear Spirit had no background, no master, and no relatives or friends; it was a monster with no connections, no family, and no friends.
But Huang Fengguai was different. So when he was defeated, a golden dragon suddenly flew down from the sky and imprisoned him in the air like lightning.
Upon seeing the golden dragon, the Dragon Girl breathed a sigh of relief, immediately abandoned the Four Heavenly Masters, and transformed into golden light to flee into the distance.
The four celestial masters exchanged glances and, without hesitation, decided not to pursue them. Instead, they all looked up at the sky.
Suddenly, a wind chime sounded in the gray sky, very light and fragmented, like many glass beads colliding in the air.
Then an invisible ripple spread out in the void. Wherever the ripple reached, the wind suddenly stopped, and even the dust floated quietly in place.
A stillness deeper than silence enveloped the entire space, making Bai Susu, who was also in the clouds, feel cold all over. She subconsciously transformed into light and landed, leaning against Huang Mei's side.
Huang Mei stared indifferently at the void, a sneer in his heart.
To display one's divine power in public?
He's quite the show-off!
The next moment, a bodhisattva, wearing a golden crown and a red robe, with a white divine light flowing between his brows, appeared with a kind and benevolent yet sacred aura. He stepped through the void and arrived in an instant, softly calling out, "Yellow Wind Monster, do you know your crime?"
The Yellow Wind Monster, though firmly bound by the eight-clawed golden dragon, showed a hint of relaxation and respectfully said, "Bodhisattva, with divine might, this lowly demon knows his sins."
Huang Mei: "..."
Is this because they're too lazy to even pretend?
Thinking of this, he immediately said with a forced smile:
"Bodhisattva Lingji arrived just in time; the Yellow Wind Monster was almost doomed."
Hearing his mockery, Lingji Bodhisattva remained calm and composed, saying, "Yellow Eyebrow, I didn't hold it against you for stealing my things, acting like a bandit, yet you're complaining that I let you steal too little?"
Huang Mei: "..."
Not far away, Sun Wukong, who knew the inside story, almost burst out laughing.
This was the first time he had ever seen his elder brother speechless, and the phrase "bandit-like behavior" seemed quite fitting...
"You vile creature, quickly revert to your original form and come with me to see the Buddha to be punished for your crimes!"
Lingji suddenly turned to look at the Yellow Wind Monster and shouted sharply.
Yellow Wind Monster obediently transformed into a yellow-haired weasel spirit, and the golden dragon that imprisoned him also transformed into a golden staff, releasing brilliant light.
"Is this ferret spirit a relative of the Bodhisattva?"
Sun Wukong's eyes darted around, and he chuckled and teased.
He wanted to avenge his elder brother, even though his brother wasn't really in the right.
Lingji's cheek twitched: "You impudent monkey, how dare you make fun of me!"
This sable spirit was originally a rat that had attained enlightenment at the foot of Mount Ling. It stole the pure oil from the glass lamp and, fearing that the Vajra would punish it, escaped. However, it became a spirit and caused trouble in this place.
The Buddha saw him and determined that he did not deserve to die, so I took charge of his custody.
Sun Wukong said, "I understand. You failed to manage it properly, which led to this weasel causing trouble."
Lingji: "..."
That stinky monkey, it really doesn't know how to talk!
Seeing that Wukong had turned the tables on Lingji, leaving him speechless, Huang Mei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, trying his best not to laugh out loud.
Lingji shook his head and said, "Who is right and who is wrong will be judged by the Buddha."
Great Sage, do you have any other instructions?
If not, I will take this beast to see Buddha.
Seeing Wukong shake his head, Huang Mei hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not complain about Zhifeng's misdeeds to his face.
Just like that well-known classic saying, some things don't weigh much until they're weighed, but once they're on the scale, they weigh a ton.
Zhi Feng operates in a gray area, but the problem is, he came to this area to chase after himself.
and so……
It's better not to file a complaint against this false accusation!
"I didn't give any explanation, brother, did you?" Sun Wukong asked, raising his eyes.
Upon hearing his question, Lingji turned to look at Huangmei, his eyes filled with scrutiny.
Huang Mei pursed her lips and smiled, "No!"
Lingji blinked, quite surprised by this.
After figuring out Huang Mei's mindset, his gaze became complicated.
This fellow disregarded past grievances and saved the Dragon Girl, demonstrating his noble character.
Now, by assessing the situation and concealing the fault of stopping the wind, he has demonstrated the virtues of knowing when to advance and retreat, and understanding gains and losses.
How come we haven't discovered such a gem in the past three hundred years?
Could it be that the Buddha from the East was hiding too well?
Then, thinking of his own disciples, and comparing Zhifeng to the other, he felt a pang of jealousy.
The two sides are not even on the same level!
He resented that the other person was not his disciple.
"Why is the Bodhisattva looking at me like that?"
Huang Mei felt a chill run down her spine as he looked at her, thinking to herself: Is this old guy plotting against me?
Lingji smiled slightly and beckoned, "Huang Mei, since you have rebelled against the Inner Court of the Tushita Heaven, why not join my Little Sumeru Mountain? If you are willing to come, you will be my head disciple."
Huang Mei: "..."
Seeing his stunned expression and silence, Lingji continued:
"Don't worry about the Buddha of the East. If you agree, I will ask the Buddha Tathagata to talk to the Buddha of the East. I guarantee you won't be affected in any way."
At this point, even he felt a sliver of anticipation.
If we could recruit Huang Mei, it would be a great achievement for the Buddhist lineage in this world.
Huang Mei shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't comply."
"Can you tell me your concerns?" asked Lingji Bodhisattva.
Huang Mei sighed softly, "No comment."
How can I tell you?
Once I've joined your lineage in this world, how can I still navigate the "gray area"?
In other words, do they lack a sense of the big picture and the overall situation?
But my future and wealth are all tied up in this grand scheme of Journey to the West, yet I am unable to grasp the bigger picture and the overall situation.
This is a fundamental conflict of interest that is completely irreconcilable.
Lingji was quite disappointed, and he made almost no attempt to hide the regret on his face.
He discovered another virtue in the other person—loyalty!
Unfortunately, this loyalty wasn't directed towards himself...
Zhifeng, I hope you can learn more from this enemy.
If you possess even a third of his intelligence and ability, you would be qualified to inherit his mantle...
