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

With the persuasion of the Dragon Girl, Zhifeng Zhenhuan calmed down.

However, Sanzang, who had watched helplessly as he killed two people, could no longer hold back and solemnly said:

"Zhifeng, I've already turned a blind eye to this because you were sent by the Bodhisattva to protect the Dharma."

In no time, you killed another person. I can't just close my eyes and let it go, can I?

If you continue to follow along, will there be a third, a fourth, or even an countless other victim?

Moreover, this is in the middle of nowhere. If it were in a busy city and you killed someone, how would we get away?

It's clearly meant to protect the Dharma, but it's had the opposite effect. What's the point?

So, you should leave, lest you lose face.

Zhi Feng's emotions, which had just calmed down, were reignited by this nagging and accusation. Resentment, hurt, frustration, and grievances all coalesced, causing him to instantly flare up with anger and shout:

"You mortal monk, you don't recognize the heavy demonic fog, and instead you complain that I am too bloodthirsty. But do you not think about what my purpose is? What selfish motives have I ever had?"

I suspect that the mastermind behind this is watching us from the clouds right now, laughing at me for being unjustly accused and unable to defend myself, and at you for being stubborn and fixated on appearances.

One is incompetent, the other is stupid; they deserve to be played like fools!

Sanzang, his face flushed red from the scolding, grew even angrier: "Wukong, help me send this protector away; this humble monk is of little merit and has no need for such a sacred protector!"

Having thoroughly enjoyed the gossip and the show, Sun Wukong finally stepped forward, smiling broadly as he approached Zhifeng:

"Little fairy, let's go. Don't really upset my master and cause him any harm. You won't be able to explain it to the Bodhisattva then."

Seeing this, the Dragon Girl sighed softly and secretly transmitted her voice: "Zhifeng, things have come to this point, you should switch from the open to the covert for now."

Zhi Feng was panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot, but for his senior sister's sake, he swallowed his anger and turned around to say, "Senior sister, I'm going."

Sudhana nodded: "Go ahead, I'm sorry to trouble you."

These words made Zhifeng feel much better, and he said sincerely, "As long as Senior Sister still believes in me, then I won't feel wronged."

Seeing his words, Sanzang grew increasingly impatient: "Disciples, quickly bury this woman and the girl together, and I will recite the Rebirth Sutra for her again."

Not long after.

The scripture, using the physical body as a guide, fell from the mortal realm into the underworld, like sweet rain from heaven, and merged into the body of a woman who was being tortured.

The ghost messenger, who was wielding an iron whip and lashing the ground, was stunned. He immediately reported the incident up the chain of command, and it soon reached Judge Cui.

Judge Cui arrived upon hearing the news. Gazing at the golden light emanating from the woman, he immediately recognized it as the work of that virtuous monk, thinking to himself:

"Has this high monk taken on a job performing rituals for the deceased? How can this continue?"

"My lord, what should we do with this?" the ghost messenger asked in a low voice.

Judge Cui let out a soft breath and said, "Untie her. I hereby decree that she be reincarnated..."

world.

under night.

Huang Mei and Bai Susu stood together at the highest point of White Tiger Ridge, looking down at Tang Sanzang and his disciples who had settled down and were resting at the foot of the mountain, like two ghosts coveting flesh and blood.

"It's the father's turn."

Half an hour later, seeing that Tang Sanzang had already fallen asleep leaning against the white horse, Huang Mei suddenly spoke.

Bai Susu smiled slightly, took out the weathered body of the man, bent down on it, and slowly descended the mountain with a lantern on her back...

Not long after.

at the foot of the mountain.

The drowsy Sanzang was suddenly awakened by shouts. His weariness turned to anger, and he couldn't help but yell, "Who's shouting? What are they saying?"

Pigsy listened intently, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Master, what I heard were the words 'daughter' and 'wife.' I'm afraid it's the mother and daughter's family who have come looking for them."

Sanzang's angry expression faltered, and he inexplicably felt a little guilty.

Fortunately, the person didn't come straight towards them; instead, they turned a corner a short distance away, and the sound gradually faded into the distance.

On the prayer mat on the ground, Sudhana had a vague sense of foreboding.

If there was really something wrong with this family of three, then this man should have come straight to them. Why did he deliberately avoid them?

While she was lost in thought, a sudden flash of inspiration struck her, causing her expression to change instantly.

broken!

"Help! Help me!"

Just as she was thinking of this, cries for help suddenly came from all directions.

Beside the white horse.

Just as Sanzang was about to lie down, his eyelids twitched. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure carrying a lantern rushing over.

Behind him, a figure wielding two swords was chasing after him.

"Master, it's Zhifeng."

Unlike Sanzang's naked eye, Zhu Bajie's vision was not affected by the darkness, and he saw Zhifeng's face at a glance.

Sanzang: "..."

The Dragon Girl's lips twitched slightly. She stood up and softly called out, "Stop! Cease! Stop!"

Zhi Feng, her face full of indignation, pointed at the man and shouted, "Senior Sister, he's a monster!"

Not long ago, he was practicing his martial arts in the nearby mountains when this man appeared like a ghost. He not only admitted that the mother and daughter he had met were using corpses to cast spells, but also mocked him.

This humiliation, so intimate, enraged him so much that he drew his sword and swung it. However, the demon's agility was so great that even he couldn't catch up with it for a while.

"You are the monster! You are not only a monster, but a monster burdened with endless karmic debts!" ​​The man gripped the lantern tightly, his voice trembling as he retorted with resentment.

Enraged, Zhi Feng roared, "Senior Sister, quickly help me stabilize his primordial spirit! This time, I will sever his spiritual light, leaving him no way to escape!"

Sudhana Dragon Girl: "..."

Junior brother, why don't you take a look at the pilgrimage team first?

At this moment, Sanzang, who hadn't even had a good night's sleep, was completely enraged and roared, "Zhifeng, didn't you leave?"

Zhi Feng's expression changed slightly, and he said, "They have left, but they caught up with the Jialan members and didn't realize it was getting late."

Pigsy smacked his lips and said, "What old story? It takes so long to tell? It seems more like they've gone from the light to the shadows, lurking in the shadows, like a venomous snake hunting in the forest."

Sanzang's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze toward Zhifeng was immediately filled with wariness and hostility.

The Dragon Girl took a deep breath and, forcing herself to speak, said:

"Let's ask about the situation first... It's not that I'm biased towards Zhifeng, but there are indeed many suspicious points in this matter."

For example, Zhi Feng is, after all, a celestial cultivator. If he truly intended to kill, how could this mere mortal have escaped to this place?

Pigsy said, "That's easy to explain. Perhaps Zhifeng went mad with anger and forgot to use his magic. You all saw it just now; he didn't even fly!"

Zhi Feng said sternly, "Nonsense! Even if I didn't fly, my leg strength is still beyond that of ordinary people."

"Zhifeng's words make sense," said the Dragon Girl Sudhana. "Holy Monk, why don't we extract this man's soul and take a look?"

The man's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly lunged at Sanzang, bowing deeply in reverence.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I won't look for my wife and daughters anymore, and I won't seek justice! Holy monk, save me!!!"
