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

"Things are accomplished in secrecy and ruined by leaks, so I can't reveal it now, but you'll find out soon enough," Huang Mei replied with a smile.

Pigsy felt like he was being scratched by a cat, but since Yellow Eyebrows had already said so much, he couldn't press the matter any further.

"Amitabha."

With his hands clasped together, Sanzang softly chanted a Buddhist prayer: "May the Buddha protect us, and may Wujing and Princess Baihuaxiu return safely."

Huang Mei nodded: "The Buddha of the East will bless us."

Sanzang: "..."

That's not what I meant.

Please don't talk nonsense!

Su Su and the monkey and pig were both trying not to laugh, but the white dragon horse grinned and managed to keep from laughing out loud.

Not to mention that the atmosphere here gradually became strange.

In the Kingdom of Baoxiang, as the king's will was carried out, a hundred skilled craftsmen were quickly gathered in the palace.

The 30,000 eggs were a bit of a hassle. The fierce guards patrolled the streets, going from shop to farm, even taking a peek at the chicken coops, doing everything in their power to carefully transport basket after basket of eggs to the palace.

By 3:45 PM, just as dusk was falling, all 30,000 eggs had finally been collected, and countless baskets were piled high in front of the temple.

at the same time.

Inside the pagoda on Wanzishan Mountain.

Mu Zha sat quietly by the window on the second floor. Hearing footsteps, he asked without turning his head, "Did Huang Mei go to Wanshou Mountain for help?"

Zhi Feng, who had gone to inquire about the situation, stopped behind him and shook his head, saying, "No."

Mu Zha narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's wait for news from the Dragon Girl."

Before long, the Dragon Girl of Good Fortune also stepped into the room and took the initiative to speak: "Huang Mei has been in the royal palace of Baoxiang Kingdom and has not gone out."

Mu Zha: "..."

Is Huang Mei completely helpless against himself?

"However..." Suddenly, the Dragon Girl changed the subject.

Mu Zha breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "But what?"

He wasn't afraid of Huang Mei making any moves, but he was afraid that the other party might do something he didn't know about!

"I've learned that shortly after the pilgrimage team entered the palace, the king suddenly ordered the recruitment of one hundred craftsmen and the collection of thirty thousand eggs," said Sudhana.

Mu Zha: "???"

The craftsman and the egg...

What is all this?

"Go and observe the situation in the palace. It would be best to find out what the craftsman and the eggs are for."

As the art of war says, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." After a moment of silence, Mu Zha whispered his instructions.

If he didn't need to conceal himself and not give the other party any opportunity to exploit the situation, he would have gone to observe on his own by now...

That night.

Inside the palace, in front of the temple.

In front of the Journey to the West team and King Baoxiang, Huang Mei used his "Sleeve Universe Technique" to directly collect the hundred craftsmen and thirty thousand eggs, and asked with a smile, "Wukong, are those eyes still there?"

Sun Wukong used his Fiery Eyes of Truth to look around and quickly found the figure of the Dragon Girl outside the palace: "She's still here."

"Transform into my likeness, swagger out, and lure them away," Huang Mei commanded.

Without the slightest hesitation, Sun Wukong immediately transformed and ascended into the sky.

After waiting silently for about half an incense stick's time, Huang Mei turned to Bai Susu and said, "Let's go, success or failure hinges on this!"

a few days later.

In the southern continent of Jambudvipa, within the Chen Tang Pass.

A simply dressed boy suddenly rushed into the vegetable garden and shouted, "Grandma, Grandma, someone in town is distributing eggs!"

In the vegetable garden, an old woman squatting on the ground pulling weeds turned around and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said, there are people handing out eggs in the city, and lots and lots of people are rushing into the city," the boy shouted.

The old woman paused for a moment, then asked, "Why? Who distributed the eggs?"

Although the weather is favorable and the country is at peace now, eggs are still a hard currency in rural areas, and in some places where barter is used, they are even more scarce.

That's why she naturally finds it hard to believe that something like this is a windfall.

"I don't know, you'll know if you come out and see for yourself," the boy said, shaking his head.

The old woman quickly washed her hands in the bucket, then hurried out of the vegetable garden and onto the village road.

Looking around, I saw many villagers carrying baskets, walking out happily.

"Auntie, is it really true that they're giving away eggs like that?"

She grabbed a passing woman and asked, trying to contain her excitement.

"Yes, yes!" His aunt grinned so hard her teeth showed, and said urgently, "Second Aunt, hurry and take the basket, we don't know when these eggs will be gone."

The old woman quickly released the other person's wrist, went back into the house, picked up her vegetable basket, and joined the old women and young wives from the village as they rushed into the town, vying to arrive at a temple.

Looking up, one can see that the originally dilapidated mountain god temple has been repainted and renovated, and the plaque on the door has been changed from Mountain God Temple to Compassionate Mother Temple.

At this moment, the temple was packed with people, and hundreds of men in uniform stood in front of the egg mountain, distributing eggs to the enthusiastic crowds.

It was only after arriving here that the old woman realized the eggs weren't for white-collar workers.

You must burn incense and worship the newly built statue of the Loving Mother, and the more devout you are, the more eggs you will receive.

So, how do we judge whether someone is devout or not?

Inside the Golden Temple were two temple keepers, a man and a woman, both exceptionally handsome, like a golden couple. They claimed to have discerning eyes, able to see through sincerity at a glance!

For the old woman, if the two temple keepers had asked her to worship some evil god, or even some unknown wild god, she might have had some doubts and would have needed to struggle with the conflict between heaven and man.

But the goddess worshipped in this temple is called Lady Yin, who is actually a virtuous goddess from Chentang Pass.

To be honest, which Chentangguan resident didn't hear the legend of "building a temple for one's son" when they were a child?

Therefore, on this land, acknowledging Lady Yin as the Compassionate Mother Goddess and burning incense and kowtowing to her is by no means a difficult decision!

This also means that although most people are lured by the eggs, they still bring a bit of sincerity to their kowtows.

The sincere hearts of countless people converged, and with the power of incense, they formed a faith, like thousands of streams of light rushing one after another towards the heavens.

fairyland.

Heavenly King's Mansion.

Lady Yin was sitting in the courtyard, embroidering clothes for her three children stitch by stitch, when suddenly thousands of streams of light descended from the sky and entered her body.

His cultivation, magical power, and immortal body... all increased rapidly under the blessing of this power, making him seem as if he were bathed in immortal light, and even more as if he were about to ascend to heaven.

Madam Yin was stunned, then closed her eyes and carefully sensed the power.

Through her investigation, she quickly gained a new perspective by using the golden statue of the compassionate mother in the Compassionate Mother Temple, and saw the fervent believers who were still devoutly worshipping the gods even in the middle of the night.

And this deity receiving incense offerings from the people was none other than himself!
