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

"Greetings to the Compassionate Mother Goddess."

At this moment, Huang Mei sensed the surge of celestial energy within the hall and immediately turned around, bowing deeply to the statue of the Compassionate Mother.

Lady Yin looked in the direction of the voice and carefully examined the young temple keeper, but remained silent.

Huang Mei suddenly slapped his forehead, feigning realization, and glanced at the maid beside him: "Su Su, you take these believers out first. That's enough for today."

"Here you are."

Bai Susu bowed slightly and quickly led the strange-looking believers out of the main hall, even gently closing the door behind them.

When only the temple keeper remained in the entire temple, Lady Yin finally spoke:

"Who are you, and why are you doing this?"

"I am Huang Mei, a disciple of the Buddha of the East."

Huang Mei responded, "As for why I did this..."

Thirteen years ago, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Princess Baihuaxiu of Baoxiang Kingdom was abducted by a demon while admiring the moon in the palace and forced into marriage.

For thirteen years, the princess suffered endless humiliation and even gave birth to two demon children, a truly unbearable ordeal.

Upon hearing of this, I immediately rushed to the demon's cave, ready to slay the demon and rescue the princess.

Unexpectedly, their plan was thwarted by a pagoda, and their efforts were in vain.

Later, when I heard that Li Tianwang's pagoda had been stolen and the Heavenly Court was under martial law, a bold idea suddenly came to my mind: could it be that a demon stole Li Tianwang's pagoda and descended to the mortal world to cause trouble?

Unfortunately, I cannot enter the Southern Heavenly Gate, nor can I see Li Tianwang. Even if I have guesses, I cannot inform him in person. Therefore, I have come up with this plan to disturb the Lady, hoping that she can secretly descend to the mortal realm to investigate the truth.

Lady Yin remained silent for a moment, then asked, "Why did you make me secretly descend to the mortal realm?"

Huang Mei explained, "If that tower is truly the Linglong Tower, and demons use it to wreak havoc, it will inevitably lead to unfounded speculation and rumors, which will be detrimental to Li Tianwang's reputation."

Lady Yin: "..."

Given her personality, even without the Linglong Tower episode, she wouldn't stand idly by upon hearing that a demon was forcing a princess into marriage and that a princess was being humiliated.

Not to mention, there's also the Linglong Tower involved.

That's why, after hesitating for a moment, she finally agreed: "Wait for me here, and I'll find a way to sneak down to the mortal realm unnoticed."

Huang Mei clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Madam."

His plan was based on the premise that Lady Yin was upright, kind, and had a strong sense of justice, and now it seems that she truly lived up to that reputation!

As for why Muzha wasn't mentioned...

The reason is simple: this is just his guess. He will not use guesses as leverage unless absolutely necessary, lest something go wrong and backfire!

at the same time.

Sudhana and the Dragon Girl hurried back to Wanzishan, entered the pagoda, and went straight to the second floor.

At the windowsill, Mu Zha slowly turned around, a puzzled look on his face: "Why have you been gone for so long?"

"I fell for their trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain, and was led around in circles. It wasn't until recently that I realized what was happening and went up to talk to them, only to find that it was Sun Wukong in his yellow-browed form," said the Dragon Girl with a helpless expression.

Mu Zha's heart pounded.

There must be a ulterior motive behind luring the tiger away from the mountain. So what is Huang Mei's motive?

After much thought, they concluded that the most "dangerous" place for them was still the sky.

It's possible that Huang Mei is trying to infiltrate the Heavenly Court. If he can get past the South Heavenly Gate, all our plans will be in vain.

"I'm going to the heavens to take a look. It's probably because the flow of time is different between the two realms that I might not be able to come back for a while."

During this time, you should not go out. Stay in the tower and keep an eye on Sha Wujing and Baihua Xiu. Make sure Sun Wukong doesn't steal them away.

"If anything else happens, wait until I get back before making any decisions on your own." Mu Zha said decisively after realizing the danger.

Sudhana nodded slightly: "Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely hold on until you return..."

Time flies.

The night ends and the day dawns.

At dawn, amidst the misty cold, Lady Yin, who had quietly descended to the mortal realm, stepped into the Temple of Compassionate Mother. Looking at the enormous statue of Compassionate Mother standing in the courtyard, she felt inexplicably ashamed.

"Greetings, Madam."

Sensing her presence, Huang Mei quickly led Su Su out of the main hall and bowed respectfully.

Madam Yin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After this matter is over, you should quickly remove this temple."

I understand you're desperate and resorted to this drastic measure, but what merit do I possess to be deserving of a temple and worshipped?

Huang Mei shook his head and said, "Madam is wrong. This is not a bad strategy, but a win-win situation."

I have successfully broken through the Heavenly Court's blockade and invited you down.

You also received blessings of faith from this temple and benefited greatly.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the people of the world... at least the people of Chentang Pass, all believe that you deserve to have a temple built to worship you.

Lady Yin: "..."

Everything the other party said was true, leaving her with no way to refute it.

However, she was still somewhat uneasy.

Do I really deserve it?

If word gets out, will it become a laughing stock and tarnish the Li family's reputation?

"Madam Yin, no matter what, let's go save them first," Huang Mei suddenly said.

Madam Yin nodded and said gently, "Please lead the way, both of you..."

In the blink of an eye.

It was noon.

Huang Mei rode a cloud carrying the two women back to the sky above Wanzishan Mountain, pointing to the golden pagoda below and saying, "Madam, please look, is this the Exquisite Pagoda of Heavenly King Li?"

"It does resemble it to some extent, but whether it's true or not depends on whether I can enter it," Madam Yin replied.

Huang Mei's mind stirred slightly, and he silently took out the human seed bag and handed it to the other party:

"If possible, please, Madam, quietly enter and bring out Sha Wujing, Baihuaxiu, and the two children first."

Remember, do not talk to them. Just open the bag towards them and suck them in. This is to avoid alerting the old demon.

If everything goes smoothly, even if a fight breaks out later, there's no need to worry about innocent people getting hurt, and the old demon won't hold people hostage.

"Oh, right."

Upon hearing this, Bai Susu suddenly took off the talisman hanging from her waist and handed it to Madam Yin as well: "Madam, this is a talisman given to me by the Monkey King. It is very effective at concealing one's aura. You should take it with you for now."

Because she needed to rescue the trapped hostages, Madam Yin did not refuse this kindness. She reached out and took the bag and talisman, her body gradually becoming invisible: "Please wait a moment, I'll go try."

After saying that, she flew down from the celestial cloud alone, turned to the back of the pagoda, and raised her hand to touch the pagoda.

As she chanted the incantation and channeled her magic, her palm actually passed through the wall, causing her pupils to tremble.

It really is an exquisite pagoda!

What was the origin of that demon that it was able to steal the pagoda from its husband?

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, but that didn't stop her from passing through the tower and disappearing into the first floor.

Looking up, one could see a demon lying on the stone bed in the main hall on the first floor. It had an indigo face, white fangs, and looked ferocious.

A bald man was tied up in the corner; he must be the Sha Wujing mentioned by Huang Mei.

After a moment's hesitation, out of concern for the old demon on the stone bed, Madam Yin did not immediately take Sha Wujing away, but instead quietly went upstairs.

On the second floor, a woman was sitting cross-legged. Her identity was unknown, but judging from the ethereal aura emanating from her, she did not resemble Baihuaxiu.

Realizing this, she went straight up to the third floor, where she saw a beautiful woman teaching two teenagers to read and write by the window, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

This person should be the right one...
