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

"I respectfully inform the Bodhisattva that the root cause of this defeat lies entirely with the Barefoot Immortal."

Inside the bamboo forest, Zhifeng said with a serious expression, "If it weren't for the Barefoot Immortal intervening and turning Sha Wujing against us, we would have successfully stopped the pilgrimage team."

Guanyin Bodhisattva shook her head: "Others might help Huang Mei persuade Sha Wujing to defect, but Barefoot Immortal would never do that."

Zhi Feng was stunned: "But we saw the Barefoot Immortal with our own eyes... Does the Bodhisattva mean that someone has transformed into the Immortal's appearance?"

Guanyin said, "It's probably Sun Wukong... If I'm not mistaken, the two of them shouldn't have appeared at the same time."

Zhifeng: "..."

If that's the case, then their loss is entirely justified.

"This Yellow-Eyebrowed Boy is truly becoming more and more promising," Guanyin exclaimed.

Zhi Feng deeply resented Huang Mei and couldn't stand hearing such words. While he was secretly ashamed and angry, a sudden inspiration flashed in his mind: "Bodhisattva, I have an idea."

"Speak freely," Guanyin said, raising her eyes.

"Ultimately, the reason he's so arrogant is because of the protection of the Buddha of the East. But what if he loses this protection?" Zhifeng narrowed his eyes and asked with great excitement.

Guanyin said, "Continue."

Zhi Feng said, "If you want the Buddha of the East to clean house, either Huang Mei has committed a heinous crime, or Huang Mei has violated the rules and regulations."

In comparison, the latter is actually easier to achieve.

In the precepts and rules, abstaining from sexual desire is one of the five fundamental precepts, which extends to prohibiting marriage and celibacy.

Given this premise, if he were to marry, he would surely sever his ties with Buddhism, and even the Buddha of the East would no longer be able to defy public opinion and protect him.

Guanyin pondered and said, "Huang Mei is also a Buddhist practitioner. If you can think of this, how could he not?"

Or perhaps you didn't see the pretty young woman beside him?

He certainly had feelings for that girl, but he never took her as a wife or concubine, which is enough to show how clear-headed he was!

Zhi Feng said, "In my opinion, being sober is only because the temptation is not strong enough."

Guanyin raised an eyebrow: "What constitutes sufficient allure?"

Zhifeng said, "This disciple can't figure it out, but this disciple feels that it certainly won't be difficult for the Bodhisattva."

"It's not that you can't think of it, it's just that you don't dare to say it," Guanyin said with a light laugh.

Zhi Feng suddenly knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, Bodhisattva."

Guanyin raised her hand and used her divine energy to lift him up from the ground: "Your initial intention was to offer me advice and strategies, what crime have you committed?"

Zhi Feng breathed a sigh of relief and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your understanding, Bodhisattva."

Guanyin smiled and then looked at Sudhana.

Sudhana's heart pounded: "Does the Bodhisattva want me to marry Huangmei?"

Zhi Feng's expression stiffened slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Bodhisattva, you mustn't. Huang Mei has fought with the Dragon Girl many times and is very familiar with her. If the Dragon Girl is faking the marriage, it will be easy for them to see through it."

Guanyin waved her hand and said, "I didn't mean to ask Pengzhu to have a fake marriage. I meant to say, Pengzhu, please go and invite Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva to come. Tell them that I'm inviting them to visit the Old Mother of Lishan together."

Zhifeng: "?"

Is this game really going to be such a big production?

I won't go into detail about the two great Bodhisattvas, Manjushri and Samantabhadra. Let's just talk about the Old Mother of Lishan, an ancient deity with immeasurable merits, whose fame even predates that of the Buddha...

It's truly appalling!

Not long after.

Just as Sudhana flew out of the Purple Bamboo Forest, the Buddha of the East also received details of Huangmei's performance in the Flowing Sand River ordeal, and was both surprised and delighted.

This "variable," which even they couldn't see through, indeed possessed the ability to manipulate the chessboard of Journey to the West.

Letting him go back then was definitely the wisest choice I ever made.

After a moment's thought, with a smile, he transformed into a fair-skinned child and swiftly flew out of the Tushita Heaven, heading rapidly towards the direction of the Lesser Western Heaven...

Little Western Paradise.

Inside Xiaoleiyin Temple.

After stabilizing his own realm, Huang Mei slowly stopped practicing and was preparing to set off with Su Su to begin a new journey when he suddenly sensed a familiar aura descending on the mountaintop, and his heart immediately tightened.

"Your Majesty?" Bai Susu called out from the doorway.

"Wait for me to come back."

Huang Mei dared not delay. After saying a few words, he immediately flew out of Xiao Leiyin Temple and went straight to the front of Xiao Xitian Cloud Cliff.

Looking up, one could see a young monk standing quietly at the edge of a precipice, his hands behind his back. His body seemed to blend into the heavens and earth, exuding an aura of power.

"Greetings..."

"No need," the little monk said, raising his hand to interrupt upon hearing the voice.

Huang Mei stopped and silently straightened up: "What brings you here?"

"I came to see you."

The young monk slowly turned around and smiled, "Huang Mei, judging from the current results, you are even more outstanding than I imagined."

"You flatter me," Huang Mei said modestly.

The young monk waved his hand: "No need to be modest, I am very pleased."

For him, as long as he could snatch the merit from Guanyin's hands, it would be a great achievement!

After all, he was arguably the one in the entire Buddhist community who least wanted Guanyin to become the number two figure in Buddhism.

"Yes," Huang Mei said respectfully.

"Rewarding merit and punishing demerit, with clear distinction between reward and punishment, is the right way."

Donglai Buddha smiled and looked at his face, asking, "What reward do you want?"

Huang Mei said, "Your support is my greatest reward."

"No need for such empty words. If you don't want it, I really won't give it to you," Donglai Buddha joked.

Huang Mei thought for a moment and then said, "This disciple is still missing a magic treasure that can protect my primordial spirit, so as to prevent my mind from being bewitched by evil things and falling into the demonic path."

"Let me look." Donglai Buddha nodded slightly, then closed his eyes.

Much later.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and with a flick of his hand, summoned a golden pill. He smiled and said, "This is a calming pill. If you keep it in your sea of ​​consciousness, it will protect your primordial spirit to a certain extent."

Yellow Eyebrows raised both hands: "Thank you!"

"You deserve it."

Donglai Buddha raised his hand and pushed the reassurance pill into his palm: "Keep working hard. As long as you don't break the fundamental precepts, I can give you the greatest support and protection."

Hearing this, Huang Mei was overjoyed, but also felt a pang of unease, thinking to himself, "Why am I suddenly so panicked? Could someone be plotting against me?"

"Let's go." Before he could think it through, Donglai Buddha waved his hand and said.

"Respectfully seeing off the Venerable One." Huang Mei had no choice but to compose himself and bow deeply.

A short while later.

Watching the figure of the Buddha of the East disappear into the sea of ​​clouds, Huang Mei straightened up and happily examined the Tranquilizing Pill, clearly sensing an ancient and natural Zen charm within it.

If you look closely, you can even see a beautiful picture of Buddha on the tiny pill.

The eight Buddha statues were positioned in the eight directions, covering every aspect, which was truly breathtaking.

After regaining his senses, Huang Mei immediately began to refine the calming pill, and strands of golden light flowed into the pill like streams of light.

In an instant, his mind became completely empty and exceptionally peaceful, almost as if he had entered a state of enlightenment...
