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

Meanwhile, after leaving the Wanshou Mountain area, Tang Sanzang and his disciples traveled day and night for several days. Not to mention Sun Wukong and the others, even the mortal Sanzang showed little fatigue, thus demonstrating the powerful medicinal effects of the ginseng fruit.

On this day, when they suddenly encountered a dense forest blocking their path, Sanzang reined in his horse and stopped. He glanced at the sky and said, "Disciples, let's rest here for a while and continue our journey tomorrow morning."

Sun Wukong asked with a smile, "Master, are you tired?"

Sanzang dismounted and shook his head: "I'm not tired, but I'm a little hungry; Wukong, go and beg for some alms."

Sun Wukong was unruly and loved to roam, so he did not refuse and leaped up to the clouds.

But when he rushed back with the vegetarian meal, he found two familiar uninvited guests on the grass in front of the forest, in addition to his fellow disciples!

"What are you doing here?"

Beside the white horse, Sudhana and the Dragon Girl calmly said, "We have received the Bodhisattva's decree to come and protect the Tripitaka Master."

Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow: "Isn't that inappropriate?"

"Is there something wrong with it?" Zhifeng asked.

Sun Wukong sneered, "Then you two can escort Master westward, and the three of us can go home separately."

The Dragon Girl tugged at Zhifeng's sleeve, signaling him not to argue or bicker with the monkey, and then said:

"Wukong, don't be stubborn, there's no conflict between them."

Just like how Sanzang first took you in, and then took in Bajie and Wujing.

Moreover, we are not considered his disciples.

Sun Wukong knew perfectly well that these two people following Sanzang closely were probably not guarding against the demons along the way, but rather against his own second brother!

"You don't feel there's a conflict because you're the one who's offending. I feel there's a conflict because I'm the one who's being offended!"

In short, I, Old Sun, don't welcome either of you. Get as far away from me as possible.

Sudhana, not wanting to argue with him, turned to look at Sanzang.

Sanzang coughed lightly and said, "Wukong, they were only sent by the Bodhisattva, so don't make things difficult for them. Quickly give me the vegetarian meal; I'm starving."

Sun Wukong gave him a deep look, then handed the lunchbox heavily to him: "You eat. I'm feeling unwell, I'm going out for some fresh air."

Before Sanzang could respond, he leaped onto the cloud in one swift motion.

Zhi Feng frowned slightly and silently transmitted his voice to the Dragon Girl, saying, "I'm afraid that getting some fresh air is just a pretense; the real purpose is to send a message!"

The Dragon Girl secretly replied, "When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it..."

As Zhifeng had predicted, Sun Wukong, under the pretense of getting some fresh air, secretly went to a desolate mountain at the back of the pilgrimage group and found Bai Susu, who was following the group at a distance. He bluntly asked, "You saw everything, didn't you?"

Bai Susu nodded: "I see! Their actions are solely aimed at my king."

"Did you inform your second brother?" Sun Wukong asked.

Bai Susu said, "I didn't dare to move, for fear that those two would discover my presence and forcibly suppress me."

Sun Wukong thought for a moment, then turned to look at the trees beside him. Suddenly, he carved a wooden plaque, inscribed it with divine symbols, and handed it to Bai Susu's noodles:

"Carry this talisman with you at all times. Anyone whose cultivation is inferior to mine will not be able to sense your presence."

However, you also need to constantly nourish the talisman; otherwise, once its power dissipates, the wooden talisman will lose its ability to conceal itself and hide.

Bai Susu was slightly taken aback, but quickly accepted the wooden talisman after regaining her senses: "Thank you, Great Sage!"

Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, "We're family, no need to thank me. Go and inform my second brother."

In any case, we must find a way to expel those two from the westward journey as soon as possible, at least openly.

Otherwise, they would definitely keep trying to seduce Sanzang and cause Second Brother a lot of trouble!

"I understand, I'll go right away." Bai Susu activated the wooden talisman, her body transforming into a beam of white light, and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Sun Wukong let out a soft breath and murmured, "Second brother, it's up to you now..."

A short while later.

Inside the Wuzhuang Temple.

After Bai Susu finished recounting what had happened, Huang Mei slowly narrowed her eyes.

Close protection?

This seemed like a deadly move, but it also made him realize that Guanyin had run out of tricks.

However, what Wukong said also makes a lot of sense. Sanzang is easily swayed and can't resist having someone around him whispering slanderous words.

In the original story, thanks to Pigsy's instigation, the monk even wrote a letter of demotion himself during the first tribulation of the Three Battles with the White Bone Demon in order to drive away the monkey.

and many more……

Tripitaka's Disparaging Letter?

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea. He stood on tiptoe and waved, saying, "Susu, come up here, I'll take you somewhere."

Bai Susu obediently stepped onto the cloud, her bright eyes filled with curiosity: "Your Majesty, where are we going?"

Huang Mei smiled slightly: "White Tiger Ridge!"

Bai Susu: "..."

In the blink of an eye, the master and servant revisited the place. Looking up from the sky, they saw that the village from six hundred years ago had long since vanished without a trace.

At this moment, tigers and wolves gather in packs in the mountains, and foxes and rabbits huddle together in their dens; thousand-foot pythons and ten-thousand-foot snakes spew out sorrowful mists and strange winds, making the atmosphere in the mountains gloomy and terrifying.

"I never imagined this place would turn out like this," Bai Susu said with a complicated expression.

This place holds her most unbearable and terrifying memories, yet it is also the place where she found redemption.

That's why seeing it turned into this horrible place is truly indescribable.

Huang Mei, however, did not have such sensitive thoughts. He smiled and said, "Go and subdue the demons in these mountains. Become a mountain lord here and call yourself the White Bone Demon."

Furthermore, make it clear to your demon subordinates that you have come to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh.

That Tang Sanzang was the incarnation of Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of Buddha, and the original body of ten lifetimes of cultivation.

If anyone can eat a piece of his flesh, he will live forever.

Even just a sip of meat broth can add a thousand years to one's life.

Bai Susu blinked and said, "Does this mean we're going to create a calamity? Would Guanyin agree to that?"

Huang Mei sneered, "She has already sent Sudhana and Zhifeng to Sanzang's side to protect him closely. If I don't create some calamity, wouldn't it be a waste of her arrangements?"

To put it bluntly, water has no fixed form, and offense and defense can change in any direction. She chose to be on the defensive, so naturally she had to accept that I would become the attacker!

Bai Susu pondered, "What happens after I become the White Bone Demon?"

"Go ahead and do it. Once you've completed this first step, I'll tell you the next plan," Huang Mei said, waving his hand.

Bai Susu smiled faintly, summoned the Shu Mountain Flying Sword with a flick of her hand, and soared through the air to the giant serpent, asking calmly, "I am the Mountain Lord, do you submit?"

The colossal serpent stared coldly at her, then suddenly exhaled a foul stench.

"court death!"

Bai Susu let out a cold shout, and the flying sword beneath her feet suddenly shot out, passing through the bloody wind and piercing straight through the giant snake's brow.

The giant snake froze on the spot, its soul and spirit annihilated. Then, its massive body crashed down, destroying a forest and raising billowing smoke.

Bai Susu raised her hand and retrieved her flying sword, then turned to face the thousand-foot-tall python: "I am the Mountain Lord, do you submit?"

The python's pupils constricted, its heart trembled, and it hurriedly lay down on the ground, almost burying its head in the soil.

Bai Susu smiled and said, "From this day forward, White Tiger Ridge shall be my territory, the territory of the White Bone Demon!"
