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

As dusk fell.

At the banquet in Jiajiazhuang.

With Guanyin as the main figure and Manjushri and Samantabhadra as secondary figures, they launched wave after wave of tests against Huangmei.

Huang Mei knew the saying "the more you say, the more mistakes you make," so facing the three's increasingly direct attacks, he suddenly changed his tone: "I've thought it through!"

In an instant, the dining table fell silent as the four women and four men stared at his face.

Even Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, felt a bit nervous at this moment.

Meeting all those gazes, Huang Mei chuckled: "I'm a realistic and stingy person. I'm unwilling to pay a betrothal gift, but I still care about the dowry."

Madam Jia hurriedly said, "My family owns a thousand acres of land, a hundred or so estates, countless gold and silver treasures, and an endless supply of rice and grains."

"If you are willing to marry all three of them, thus relieving my heartache, I can give you all this wealth as your dowry."

Huang Mei waved his hand and said, "What you're talking about isn't anything special to me. If I wanted to, I could collect them all in a day!"

Madam Jia then asked, "So, what do you fancy?"

Huang Mei smiled and said, "Magic treasures! The more powerful the magic treasure, the better I like it."

In fact, he also liked elixirs and spiritual herbs, but he would never dare to ask the person in front of him for such things, lest he fall into some kind of trap.

The four women exchanged glances, and after receiving a signal from Guanyin, Lady Jia said gently, "Your Majesty, please allow us to discuss this for one night. We will certainly give you an answer first thing tomorrow morning."

"Of course, have some vegetables, have some vegetables," Huang Mei said with a delighted expression.

That night.

child time.

The four holy beings gathered in the inner courtyard hall, where the Old Mother of Lishan, playing the role of Madam Jia, asked, "Guanyin, what should we do about this magic weapon?"

Guanyin gritted her teeth and summoned a golden rope with a flick of her hand: "Consider this Immortal-Binding Rope his dowry. This fellow is simply insatiable!"

Although she knew the marriage was fake, for Huang Mei to marry three fairy-like beauties and then impose conditions was truly excessive.

The Old Mother of Lishan pondered and said, "Based on my understanding of him, I'm afraid this Immortal Binding Rope won't be enough to get rid of him."

After all, you are three sisters, and this magic weapon is only one.

Guanyin was both angry and heartbroken. With her left hand holding the Immortal Binding Rope, she took out an ice cicada shell with her right hand: "This is the Heavenly Cicada Robe."

"One more thing is missing," Puxian said instinctively.

Guanyin: "..."

The Old Mother of Lishan smiled and, with a flick of her wrist, took out a Bagua bag:

"I'll add one. This is the Qiankun Bagua Bag, which contains the Qiankun (Heaven and Earth) and is mainly used to store items."

"No, no," Guanyin hurriedly said, "Your help is already a great favor; how could I let you give me your dowry?"

At this point, a strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart.

Why do I feel like I'm really going to marry that yellow-browed guy?

The Old Mother of Lishan smiled and shook her head, handing the Qiankun Bagua Bag to Puxian:

"For my current cultivation level, this Qiankun Bagua Bag is like a chicken rib, useless and a pity to throw away. It just so happens to come in handy now."

Guanyin could only express her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Holy Mother."

"Go back to your room and rest. I hope everything goes well tomorrow," said the old mother of Lishan gently.

The next day.

Breakfast time.

The four women placed the three magical treasures in front of Huang Mei, claiming that these were originally prepared by Grandmother Jia for her three daughters' life treasures, but since the son-in-law insisted on using them as dowry, they had no choice but to bring them out.

If Huang Mei truly intended to marry the three sisters, then anyone with even a modicum of social awareness would not have accepted their three treasures upon hearing this.

However, the four saints deceived him, and he deceived the four saints. In the battle of wits, who cares about human relationships and social etiquette?

Silently putting away the three magical treasures, Huang Mei immediately changed her expression, smilingly addressing Madam Jia as her mother-in-law and the three sisters as their wives.

"Wait a minute." Guanyin raised her hand and said, "The wedding ceremony has not yet taken place, so it is too early to change your address now."

Madam Jia said, "All the items for the wedding ceremony were prepared before the New Year, and we are just waiting for today!"

Xiaoying, hurry up and decorate the wedding hall. Let's get the wedding done this morning and put my mind at ease.

Outside the courtyard gate, the maid responded loudly and hurried away.

Huang Mei's mind raced, and he asked, "Does your mother-in-law know the best man?"

Lady Jia asked in confusion, "What is a best man?"

"Similar to a best man, but also different."

Huang Mei said, "My main task is to stay by the groom's side and be at his beck and call."

I'd like Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing to be my best men. What does my mother-in-law think?

"No!" Guanyin said, "They are all monks; how could they do such a thing?"

"Why not?" Huang Mei retorted.

Guanyin: "..."

Why?

Of course, they didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, nor did they want to reveal the internal strife within Buddhism to the Tripitaka.

However, these words must never be said aloud!

"There are two reasons."

Manjushri suddenly spoke up: "Firstly, your marriage with a monk as your best man is disrespectful to the Buddha and to the Buddhist community."

Secondly, it's somewhat unlucky. What if you become a monk in the future? Wouldn't the three of us sisters be left to live as widows?

Guanyin looked at Manjushri with gratitude.

As expected of the highest symbol of Buddhist wisdom, this quick-witted answer is impeccable.

Huang Mei pursed her lips and said, "Fine, if they can't, they can't. But they're all my good friends, so surely they can attend the wedding banquet?"

Guanyin hesitated for a moment, fearing that pushing him too far would cause all her efforts to be in vain: "Attending the wedding banquet is fine, but there can be no pranks in the bridal chamber!"

Sun Wukong chuckled and said, "Can't we just leave after the wedding feast? Look how scared you are."

Guanyin: "..."

This monkey is so rude and disorderly that you just want to slap him on the head!

After breakfast.

Everyone returned to their rooms, waiting for the wedding to begin.

During the process, Huang Mei suddenly thought of something, hurriedly ran to the manor's flower garden, picked four flowers, muttered the words for offering flowers, and then went into the room of Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

The four saints saw this scene and, recalling what the other party had said about being a best man, assumed that he had some other whimsical idea or was simply following local customs, so they didn't take it seriously.

After all, what can sending a flower change?

Before long, it was noon. A young maid brought the groom's attire to Huang Mei's room. Watching him put on the festive red robe, she smiled and praised, "You look so handsome!"

The groom grinned: "Superficial."

The young maid couldn't help but smile, but she didn't say anything more. She slowly left the room and went straight to Guanyin's boudoir.

"Have you changed it?" Guanyin asked.

The maid nodded: "I've changed."

"Keep an eye on things. Once Sanzang and the others have left, immediately go to the inner court of Tushita Heaven and invite the Buddha of the East. Today, we must force him to clear the gate!" Guanyin said coldly.

The young maid nodded silently, sighing inwardly:

"Yellow Eyebrows, no matter how careful you are, you have still fallen into the trap."

Once you lose the protection of the Buddha of the East, the next step will definitely be a reckoning against you!
