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

"Junior Uncle, what are you eating?"

On their journey west, during a rest stop, Pigsy suddenly noticed that Yellow Eyebrows would occasionally eat something, and couldn't help but ask him about it out of curiosity.

Huang Mei smiled slightly and presented him with a fragrant pill: "A Spirit Replenishing Pill."

Pigsy stared intently and discovered that the elixir was of extremely high quality, in no way inferior to the Three-Turn Golden Elixir refined by Laozi. His pupils immediately contracted, and he stammered, "..."

"Did you just take this kind of pill?"

"More or less." Huang Mei nodded, casually tossing the pill into his mouth and chewing it like a candy, storing its medicinal power within his body and transforming it into cultivation potential.

After all, this is a journey, not a suitable time for quiet meditation.

When Wukong returns, that will be the day he focuses on breaking through realms and advancing in rank!

Pigsy suddenly opened his mouth wide, utterly shocked.

Does this mean they're treating the Three-Turn Golden Elixir like it's food?

How could they be so extravagant?!

Could it be that the Buddha of the East passed on all his wealth to the other party?

"Second Brother, why do you look like you've been frightened?"

At this moment, Sha Wujing laid out a cushion for his master, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Bajie's expression and subconsciously walked over.

Pigsy silently closed his mouth, and asked with a complicated expression, "Old Sha, have you ever eaten the Three-Turn Golden Elixir?"

Sha Wujing chuckled: "I was fortunate enough to have it when I was working in heaven."

Pigsy: "..."

Fortunately?

嗐~

"Second Brother, why are you asking this?" Sha Wujing asked immediately.

Pigsy took a deep breath and pointed at Yellow Eyebrows, who was still eating the elixir, saying, "He's treating this elixir like food."

Sha Wujing: "???"

South China Sea.

Purple bamboo forest.

He wore a narrow-sleeved monk's robe in pine soot ink, covered with a gray-brown kasaya, and tied with a bamboo green sash around his waist.

His hair was tied up with a plain wooden hairpin, and a few strands of loose hair gently brushed against his thin cheeks in the breeze. The refined young man slowly approached the Bodhisattva, clasped his hands together, and bowed in reverence:

"Muzha pays his respects to the Bodhisattva."

"How is your home?" Guanyin asked, a smile appearing on her face as she looked at her first disciple.

"Everything is fine. Thank you, Bodhisattva, for allowing me to take leave and go home," Muzha said gratefully.

Monks are also called ordained people. Since they have already left home, they should not miss their homes.

But people are not made of wood; they cannot achieve complete detachment from worldly desires.

Even after a long time apart, he still misses his parents and brothers.

His master saw this and allowed him to go home to visit, which was a great blessing for him.

Guanyin waved her hand and smiled, "We are master and disciple, why stand on ceremony?"

Mu Zha smiled slightly, then asked, "By the way, Master, why haven't I seen Junior Sister Pengzhu?"

Guanyin's expression changed slightly, and she sighed softly, "I sent her to do something, but unfortunately, it didn't go as planned!"

Mu Zha asked in surprise, "What is it that even Junior Sister Holding the Pearl can't do properly?"

He knew his skills in handling pearls.

Within this sacred space, besides the Bodhisattva and myself, the one most powerful in every aspect is the one holding the pearl!

Guanyin silently licked her lips, and then began to explain the situation in detail.

Mu Zha listened quietly, but his mind was filled with thoughts of his father's recent questioning by the Heavenly Court.

It seems that the root of this matter lies in the journey to the west, and it is probably inseparable from that yellow-browed boy!

"Master, I want to go see Pengzhu," Muzha said gently after hearing this.

Guanyin smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be in Baoxiang Kingdom right now..."

She knew that her eldest disciple was simply interested in Huang Mei, but his personality was calm, pragmatic, low-key, and reserved, completely the opposite of Zhi Feng's, so he naturally wouldn't say anything about doing anything to Huang Mei.

Thinking of this, a sense of anticipation suddenly arose in her heart.

If Muzha can successfully restrain Huangmei and stop him from stirring up trouble, thus cutting off Donglai Buddha's inappropriate thoughts, then it would truly be a blessing from heaven!

half an hour.

At dusk.

Mu Zha descended slowly through the sunset and landed in Baoxiang Kingdom. His divine sense spread like flowing water, and he quickly sensed the aura of Pengzhu in a restaurant at the East Gate. He then instantly disappeared.

Inside the restaurant.

Second floor, window seat.

Zhifeng and Shancai Longnu each held a wine cup, drinking vegetarian wine in silence, while six plates of vegetarian dishes were laid out on the table.

Vegetarian dishes are easy to understand. As for vegetarian wine, it is wine that can be offered to gods, Buddhas, or monks and Taoists. It is said to contain no meat or fish, and drinking it is usually not considered a violation of precepts...

When did you learn to drink?

Mu Zha appeared in front of the table, glanced at Zhi Feng with displeasure in his eyes, and then asked the Dragon Girl.

In his view, even vegetarian wine is not a good thing for monks.

This Immortal Child Zhifeng brought his junior sister to drink; he's even more despicable!

"Senior brother, what are you doing here?" Sudhana was startled and quickly got up.

Zhi Feng put down his wine cup, clasped his hands together, and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother Huian."

Mu Zha simply nodded slightly to him, his gaze still fixed on the Dragon Girl's eyes: "I asked you first."

Sudhana pursed her lips and said, "Reporting to my senior brother, I haven't learned it. I was just drowning my sorrows in alcohol."

Mu Zha asked, "What's troubling you?"

"Please sit down, senior brother, and allow me to explain slowly," said Sudhana the Dragon Girl hurriedly.

Mu Zha sat down on one side of the two and waved, "You two sit down too."

After they sat down again, Sudhana slowly recounted the whole story of how they had been demoted by Sanzang, leaving no detail untold.

"What a wicked scheme!" Mu Zha finally commented.

Zhi Feng wholeheartedly agreed, adding, "What's even more insidious is the person behind it all. I've never seen such a treacherous and vicious Buddhist disciple; they're a scourge upon our Buddhist community."

Mu Zha remained noncommittal, saying, "Take me to find Sanzang. I want to see for myself whether this reincarnation of Jin Chanzi is truly so indecisive, unable to distinguish between good and evil, pedantic and stubborn, and easily deceived by appearances!"

The two had no objection and dared not mention drinking or eating. So they took Muzha eastward and soon saw the westward procession in the clouds, along with Huangmei in the procession!

As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet. Zhi Feng seemed to have a stress reaction, his eyelids twitched, and he pointed at Huang Mei and said, "Senior Brother Huian, this scoundrel is Huang Mei."

Hui'an stared intently, scrutinizing him closely. He saw that the man was dignified and had an extraordinary bearing, showing no trace of cunning. Hui'an couldn't help but say, "Truly, one cannot judge a book by its cover."

on the ground.

Huang Mei, who was meditating cross-legged, suddenly sensed something and looked up to see only wisps of dark clouds floating in the gloomy starry sky, nothing else.

"Junior Uncle, what's wrong?" Pigsy asked immediately.

Huang Mei slowly narrowed his eyes and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing, perhaps I'm overthinking it."

"Such powerful inspiration!"

Above the clouds, Mu Zha raised his eyebrows slightly.

His personal cultivation level was much higher than the other party's, so in theory, observing from a distance should not arouse any suspicion from the other party.

But the reality is that from this moment on, the yellow-browed boy became wary.

Like a wild beast in the wilderness, instinctively sensing the presence of its predator...
