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

"Amitabha, Amitabha, please calm down, you two celestial children, and listen to me." Despite the scolding, Sanzang was still able to hold back, put his hands together, and said sincerely.

"Listen to what you have to say? That's just sophistry!" Qingfeng said coldly.

Sanzang shook his head: "Immortal boy, why don't you think about this carefully? If I wanted to eat that ginseng fruit, wouldn't it have been better to eat it directly when you brought it to me? Why go through all this trouble to steal the fruit?"

Qingfeng was speechless, and Mingyue then said, "You may not have eaten it, but what about your men? Can you be sure they didn't eat it either?"

Sanzang said, "That makes sense. Let me call them here and ask them."

The two celestial children exchanged a glance before stepping aside to open the gate.

Sanzang stepped out of the door and called out loudly, "Disciples, come here."

The three brothers, who had just stolen and eaten the ginseng fruit, came out of the kitchen one after another, laughing, and came to the front of the main hall. Pigsy asked his master, "Is the rice ready?"

Sanzang shook his head and patiently inquired about the ginseng fruit. The three brothers naturally denied it, but they couldn't resist Sanzang's persuasion, and Sun Wukong quickly revealed the truth and admitted it.

This angered Qingfeng and Mingyue, who then launched into a tirade of insults at him.

The foul language made the Great Sage grit his teeth, widen his fiery eyes, and surge with rage.

At the same time, wisps of thoughts, like streams of light, shot out from the top of his head and went straight into Huang Mei's Book of Future Awakening.

"boom!"

Unlike the gentle ripples of thought formed by a clear breeze and bright moon, the ripples of thought under Sun Wukong's rage were like domineering energy. After merging with the Book of Awakening, they caused the newly born divine book to tremble continuously, and also caused a stinging pain in Huang Mei's brow.

Huang Mei quickly sat cross-legged on the immortal cloud and urgently mobilized the calming pills to support Jue Shi Shu.

As the golden elixir landed above the divine book, a beam of golden light descended, and the constantly trembling divine book gradually calmed down, frantically refining the power of the mind.

Therefore, the current situation has become that the gentle breeze and bright moon stimulate Sun Wukong, causing him to fly into a rage, and his thoughts are also recharging the Book of Awakening.

However, the monkey's patience has its limits. When his anger crossed the line, he quietly plucked a hair from the back of his head and left it in place in his place.

His true form transformed into a streak of light, passing through the wall and arriving directly in the ginseng garden. He raised an iron rod and knocked down a tree. Feeling that it was still not enough to vent his anger, he used his divine power to move mountains and unload ridges, uprooting the tree as well.

That felt so good.

comfortable.

The turbulent emotions thus subsided.

At the same time, Huangmei also lost the supply of Mind Ripple.

Meanwhile, Qingfeng and Mingyue, having cursed until their throats were dry, saw that the monks were like dumb chickens, showing no reaction, and their anger subsided. They decided to go back to the trees in the garden and count them again.

Perhaps the monkey really did steal three, not four, which would avoid wrongly accusing the monk.

Huang Mei knew that the two fairy boys would be the ones to keep the guests, and the group of travelers would be free. No one would have any major emotional fluctuations anymore, so he took Su Su and returned to the cave...

"Your Majesty, shall we go find Wukong?"

After entering the cave, Bai Susu asked curiously.

Huang Mei smiled slightly and replied, "The time isn't right yet. Let's wait a bit longer. Patience is an essential quality for an excellent hunter. Making a move before the right opportunity arises often backfires."

Bai Susu seemed to understand: "I understand..."

Not long after.

While using his divine sense to probe the mountain path, Huang Mei sat cross-legged and refined the essence and spiritual energy within the Book of Awakening, causing his internal domain to gradually grow.

Fifty miles in diameter, five one, five two, five three...

After rising for a full fifty-five miles, this essence of spiritual energy was finally exhausted, which made Huang Mei beam with joy.

This feels amazing.

With his left hand he could accumulate merit resources, with his right hand he could gather spiritual essence from divine books, and he also had a containment module with a 100% success rate.

With all three approaches combined, cultivation will be like having a cheat code, and it will surely bring a big surprise to those old friends of Mount Ling in the future!

Time goes by.

Before we knew it, the moon had risen in the east.

Meanwhile, inside the Wuzhuang Temple, Sun Wukong used magic to unlock the door, helped Sanzang mount his horse, and then took two sleep-inducing insects from his waist and threw them onto the faces of the two fairy boys, causing them to fall into a deep sleep. Only then did he lead the group down the mountain path.

As the four passed through Huang Mei's spiritual detection range, he immediately sensed it and stood up, saying, "Su Su, it's time to go."

Sun Wukong and his companions couldn't sense his and Su Su's presence within this immortal mountain, but Zhen Yuanzi couldn't possibly not sense them.

With Sun Wukong gone, Zhen Yuanzi will likely return soon, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

If they are trapped in the mountains and perceived as having ulterior motives, their first impression will be very negative, with extremely bad consequences...

As dawn broke, Zhenyuan Daxian led his lesser immortals back to Wuzhuang Temple. They found the temple gates wide open and Qingfeng and Mingyue fast asleep. Sensing something amiss, they quickly used magic to dispel the two's slumber and inquired about the reason.

After a moment of panic, the two celestial children immediately began to embellish the story, which led to the tale of Zhenyuan Daxian taking in his master and disciples through his hidden power within his sleeve...

Bai Susu, following Huang Mei's instructions, lagged far behind the westward-bound group. When she saw the immortal raise his sleeve and stop the four monks and their horses, she couldn't help but gasp.

With his cultivation level, Zhen Yuanzi locked onto her figure almost instantly.

Seeing that she was not only not a demon, but also had an ethereal aura, and looked like a righteous immortal cultivator, he ignored her and went back to the mountain without mentioning her.

After watching his figure disappear, Bai Susu patted her chest with lingering fear, then immediately transformed into a gentle breeze and quickly went to inform her king...

Zhen Yuanzi returned to the temple, ordered his disciple to bring ropes, and first released Tang Sanzang from his sleeve, binding him to a stone pillar in front of the main hall. Then he captured the three monks and the white horse, binding them all together.

"You are Zhen Yuanzi?" Sun Wukong shouted.

Zhen Yuanzi ignored him and simply asked Xiao Xian to bring the Seven Star Whip.

"Master, which one should we attack first?" Xiao Xian asked.

Zhen Yuanzi said, "Strike Tang Sanzang first; he's the ringleader!"

Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow, watching this scene with a half-smile.

Neither Pigsy nor Sandy uttered a sound, which made Tripitaka tremble with fear.

He knew all too well that he was just a mortal and could not possibly withstand a beating.

"Great Immortal, wait! As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. I didn't eat any of your fruit, so how can I be considered the ringleader?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong's smile froze on his face, his eyes turning cold and gloomy.

Pigsy and Sandy both looked at Monkey King, hoping he would step forward and take responsibility.

However, Sun Wukong remained silent, his eyes lowered.

"You are their master. You failed to discipline your disciples and allowed them to steal my immortal fruit. If you are not the ringleader, then who is? Beat them!" Zhen Yuanzi said without any politeness.

Seeing a little fairy approaching with a soft whip as thick as three fingers, Sanzang's legs went weak with fear. He felt both resentment towards Wukong and fear and pain, desperately hoping that someone would come to his rescue.

"Pah, pah."

Xiao Xian spat on her hand, gripped the whip tightly, and sneered, "Monk, take this!"

Tripitaka shuddered, closed his eyes, and silently chanted, "Buddha, protect me! Bodhisattva, save me..."

"stop!"

A short while later, just as the whip was raised high and about to fall heavily, a soft shout suddenly echoed throughout the Taoist temple.

Sanzang suddenly opened his eyes and saw that it was not a Bodhisattva who had come, but the Dharma protector he had personally hired for his journey to the West. He felt relieved and was unexpectedly moved...
