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

Chapter 45: The Flowing Sand River, Sha Wujing [Second update, please continue reading~]

"There are so many weak waters in the human world?!"

Gazing at the Weak Water River, which stretched for eight hundred miles and was millions of miles long, Zhifeng exclaimed in astonishment.

"This is a divine creation of heaven and earth, beyond human capability," the Dragon Girl said softly.

Zhi Feng deeply agreed.

What is Weak Water?

Water with extremely weak buoyancy.

How weak is it?

Even a feather would sink if it landed on it; it has almost no carrying capacity.

Therefore, one cannot sail on the Weak Water!

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. The key point is that there is also a strange "compassionate" force on the water.

The Lüshi Chunqiu states: "Being kind to attract iron is perhaps a way of drawing it in."

It means that stone is the mother of iron, but there are two kinds of stones: loving and unloving. Loving stones can attract their offspring, while unloving stones cannot.

When placed on the Weak Water, this compassionate power will exhibit the characteristic of "even birds cannot cross it".

Simply put, it's as if there's a suction force that pulls all objects above the Weak Water into it!

"Sha Wujing, Sha Wujing..."

Just as the wind was calming and the thoughts were flowing, the Dragon Girl of Good Fortune suddenly unleashed the Buddhist Lion's Roar Technique, shouting towards the eight-hundred-mile-wide river.

As the sound waves penetrated the seabed, a fairy suddenly leaped out of the river, and it was seen that:

A head of fiery red hair, fluffy and disheveled; two round eyes, bright as lamps. A face neither black nor blue, but indigo; a voice like thunder and drums, like an old dragon.

He wore a pale yellow cloak, with two white rattan belts around his waist. Nine skulls hung from his neck, and he held a magnificent staff.

"Who are you, and how do you know that the Bodhisattva bestowed a Dharma name upon me?"

"I am Sudhana, the Dragon Girl, the right attendant of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva."

Sha Wujing was greatly surprised and quickly put his hands together in a Buddhist salute: "So it is a messenger of the Bodhisattva. I am sorry for not welcoming you properly. Please forgive me."

He was originally a curtain-rolling general in the Heavenly Court, but he committed a capital offense by breaking a glass lamp.

Fortunately, the Barefoot Immortal intervened and pleaded for him, thus sparing him from the death penalty. However, he could not escape punishment and was demoted to this place to be punished, suffering the torment of having a flying sword pierce his chest every seven days.

Due to the excruciating pain from the pierced chest, he not only transformed from a god into a demon, but also developed a cannibalistic habit.

One day, he met Guanyin, who taught him to enter the Buddhist order and wait there for the pilgrim to retrieve the scriptures.

Before leaving, he was given the surname Sha and a Buddhist name, Sha Wujing.

That's why, when the girl in front of him called out his Dharma name and explained that she was a close attendant of Guanyin, he immediately believed her identity without a doubt!

"Sha Wujing, we are here to help you overcome the difficulty of 'crossing the quicksand'," said the Dragon Girl Sudhana frankly.

Sha Wujing was taken aback: "Help me?"

He didn't understand.

The Bodhisattva clearly instructed him to wait here for the pilgrim to arrive. What do you mean by "the quicksand is hard to cross"? What is this "one difficulty"?

Seeing this, Sudhana had no choice but to explain the concept of the eighty-one tribulations to them, and then recounted their mission:

To stop Huang Mei from stealing merit and to prevent him from sabotaging the Buddhist sect's grand plan.

Sha Wujing was completely bewildered, and it took him a while to come to his senses.

Judging from this, it sounds like internal strife within the Buddhist community?

"My Lady Dragon Girl, if that's the case, then I'll wait until the pilgrim arrives, then immediately prostrate myself in worship, giving him no chance to slip through my fingers," Sha Wujing said earnestly, calming himself down.

Sudhana shook her head: "If that's the case, how can it be considered a calamity? If it's not considered a calamity, he can't steal the merit, and we won't get any merit either."

Sha Wujing: "..."

According to what the other party said, it seems to make sense.

But the problem is, if we don't do this, how can we prevent it?

"This is not the place to talk. Take us to your water palace first, and we can discuss this matter at length," said the Dragon Girl of Good Fortune, waving her hand.

Sha Wujing quickly said, "Gentlemen, please follow me..."

In the blink of an eye.

Half an hour later.

Huang Mei and Su Su arrived at the Liusha River ahead of time, and were equally amazed by the wonders of nature.

"Such a divine river, so vast that even a goose feather cannot rise, and birds cannot cross it, how could Tang Sanzang, with his mortal body, possibly cross it?"

After regaining her senses, Su Su said from the bottom of her heart.

Huang Mei smiled and said, "Just as braising water can cure tofu, one thing can counteract another. Since this river is blocking our path to the West, there must be a way to cross it."

Su Su nodded slightly, then said with some concern, "The situation underwater is unknown, and there may be danger. Perhaps I should first scout out the situation for Your Majesty?"

Huang Mei waved his hand: "We came early because we hope to replicate the story of Gao Lao Zhuang. If you go by yourself and are not discovered, that's fine. But if you are discovered, it will lose its sincerity, which is not good..."

As he spoke, he called to the other person to jump into the river together. He released his divine sense to scan the area and soon found a stone water palace. It was gloomy, cold, and filled with deathly aura.

Bai Susu slowly narrowed her eyes and transmitted her voice, "Your Majesty, Sha Wujing has committed a terrible atrocity!"

Huang Mei nodded slightly and knocked on the door, saying, "General Rolling Curtain, is General Rolling Curtain in the manor?"

Inside the Stone Mansion.

In the living room.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Zhi Feng, who was sitting upright in the guest seat, immediately sneered: "Just as Senior Sister predicted, this fellow still wants to replicate the old story of Gao Village."

Sudhana said, "People always have a dependency on the path to success, believing that if they can succeed once, they can definitely succeed a second time."

Zhi Feng stood up and said, "I'll go embarrass him and see if he's ashamed!"

Sudhana hurriedly said, "No. The enemy is in the open while we are in the shadows; this is our advantage. Wujing, go and deal with him. Remember, don't talk about it any further."

Sha Wujing respectfully replied, "Yes."

"Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, with the sound of the stone gate opening, the burly, fierce-looking Sha Wujing strode out of the water mansion, glaring at him with his copper bell-like eyes and asking, "Who are you, and what brings you here?"

Huang Mei said, "I've come to make a deal with you."

"If you're not going to do it, you can leave."

Sha Wujing remembered the teachings of Sudhana and the Dragon Girl and spoke decisively.

Huang Mei was surprised.

Why was the refusal so decisive?

"How about you hear about the details of the deal first?"

"I won't listen, I won't listen! Are you coming or not? If you're not coming, don't blame me for being impolite," Sha Wujing said in a deep voice.

Huang Mei narrowed his eyes, a sudden realization dawning on him, and asked, "Could it be that Sudhana, the Dragon Girl, has arrived?"

"How did you know?" Sha Wujing asked in astonishment.

Inside the Stone Mansion, the Dragon Girl's lips twitched, and Zhi Feng remained silent.

Huang Mei glanced at Shi Fu, seemingly lost in thought, and then suddenly took out the Human Seed Bag, releasing a powerful suction force towards Sha Wujing.

He did not want to repeat the situation at Huangfengling unless absolutely necessary.

Since the Dragon Girl had anticipated the enemy's moves and found this place first, he simply kidnapped Sha Wujing and brought him before Sun Wukong.

He could not obtain this merit, so he would not grant Guanyin's wish.

Inside the Stone Mansion.

Zhi Feng's expression changed drastically. He suddenly threw out the Flying Dragon Staff in his hand, and a golden dragon leaped out of the mansion, wrapped around Sha Wujing's body, and pulled him back with great difficulty.

The humanoid bag was placed in an empty space, and the golden light in the bag's mouth gradually faded, eventually falling back into Yellow Eyebrows' hand.

"The Flying Dragon Staff, is Bodhisattva Lingji here too?" Bai Susu asked in surprise.

Huang Mei paused slightly, then shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be... If I'm not mistaken, it's probably that good-for-nothing disciple of Bodhisattva Lingji."

Zhifeng: "..."

You're the good-for-nothing, your whole family is good-for-nothing!!!
