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

Wanzishan.

Outside the pagoda.

Madam Yin gazed at Huang Mei intently, her expression very serious.

With a warm smile, Huang Mei slowly said, "In fact, Mu Zha only came to make things difficult for me because of his merits."

To put it bluntly, he didn't want me to help Tang Sanzang pass the test so that I could gain merit from the heavens, which is why he associated with evil spirits.

Li Tianwang agreed to Muzha's request and even lent him the Linglong Pagoda, all because of this incident.

However, even if Muzha succeeds, he will only receive credit for his efforts, not merit for them.

If you're lucky, you might get some material rewards; if you're unlucky, you'll probably only get a few words of praise.

After all, Guanyin herself is only a Bodhisattva, and has no authority to confer upon her a higher position or full enlightenment.

On the other hand, if my wife had protected me and allowed me to ascend to heaven to meet the Jade Emperor, the situation would have been entirely different.

You can directly obtain a share of Heavenly Merit. What you receive is equivalent to what the Li family received.

At that time, King Li will only be happy, so why would he blame you?

As for Muzha, or rather, Guanyin...

Madam, it is not that I am judging you by my own petty standards, but Muzha aided and abetted the wicked. Even without Guanyin's guidance, did he not have her tacit approval?

I believe you can understand the stakes involved, so I won't go into detail.

Upon hearing this, Madam Yin fell into deep thought.

Huang Mei did not urge him.

In fact, he only had the intention to break the deadlock, not any malicious intent. Therefore, he was not afraid of Madam Yin's careful consideration, nor was he afraid of Li Tianwang's post-mortem analysis.

The main reason is that Li Jing belongs to the lineage of the Buddha of the Past, and the exquisite pagoda in his possession was obtained from the Buddha of the Burning Lamp. He is not a direct competitor to the lineage of the Future, which provides the prerequisite for open and covert cooperation!

"Let's go, I'll take you to heaven."

After a long pause, Madam Yin finally made up her mind and looked up to speak.

Huang Mei smiled slightly, then turned to Su Su and said, "Go find Wukong and the others and tell them about the situation in advance."

Bai Susu bowed respectfully: "Yes..."

Not long after.

Yellow-Eyebrowed Nezha, riding a cloud, carried Lady Yin to the South Heavenly Gate. Entrusted by Muzha, Nezha, who was guarding the area, saw his mother's figure and hurriedly went out to greet her, asking in confusion:

"How could Mother have come from the lower realm?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Huang Mei, secretly trying to figure out who he was.

"I went to Chentang Pass for a stroll to relax and relieve my boredom," Madam Yin said with a smile. "You go ahead with your work; I have other things to do."

"stop!"

Seeing that she was about to lead a stranger into the Heavenly Court, the guarding deity immediately blocked the entrance.

Nezha frowned and suddenly asked the guarding deity, "What did you say?"

The guardian deity, clad in golden armor and wielding a long sword, felt a jolt of fear and quickly explained, "This humble deity is asking this man to stop."

"He is my friend," Madam Yin said. "Do you really think I would bring him into the Heavenly Court to help that tower-stealing god?"

The guardian deity said, "Madam, I am merely a gatekeeper. Such matters require approval from my superiors. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, I cannot bear the responsibility."

Nezha didn't recognize Huang Mei, but trusted his mother, so he said calmly, "Come, ask me!"

The guard on duty paused for a moment, then asked with a strange expression, "Open the door?"

"Open the door!" Nezha waved his hand.

The guardian deity took a deep breath and immediately directed his subordinates to open the Heavenly Gate barrier, lining up to await Lady Yin and her entourage to enter.

Huang Mei observed all of this, a slight smile playing on his lips. He gazed at the handsome young man before him—a face as round as the full moon, lips like crimson pearls revealing silver teeth, eyes gleaming like lightning, a broad forehead, and hair styled in a high bun—and suddenly transmitted his voice:

"As far as I know, Li Tianwang's exquisite pagoda is currently located in the Wanzishan Wave Moon Cave within the territory of the Earthly Treasure Elephant Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Nezha was taken aback.

After regaining his senses, he found that the person had already followed his mother into the Heavenly Court, and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Is Li Jing's tower really no longer in his possession?

His second brother, Muzha, told him that the so-called theft of the pagoda was a hoax, and the real purpose was to prevent Huangmei from ascending to heaven.

He never doubted the other party's words, assuming that the pagoda was still in Li Jing's hands.

But now it seems that the fellow Mother led into the Heavenly Court was none other than Huang Mei.

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and turned to leave.

"Where did the great god go?" the guardian general suddenly asked.

"Is it any of your business?" Nezha retorted.

The guardian deity: "..."

In the blink of an eye, Nezha rode his Wind Fire Wheels to the sky above Wanzishan Mountain. Looking down, he almost instantly confirmed that this was the Evil Tower.

He was suppressed and tormented by this tower many times. Even if the tower is reduced to fragments, he will never forget its unique aura!

"it is good."

"OK……"

The handsome young man suppressed a smile, looked around, then took out his Qiankun bag, took out a small white porcelain bottle, and turned the spiritual liquid inside into hundreds of water droplets, which fell on the mountain like rain.

As the vegetation in the mountains began to grow rapidly due to the medicinal power of the elixir, Lady Yin, accompanied by Huang Mei, arrived at the Tongming Palace in the Ninth Heaven, where she was greeted by the Four Heavenly Masters.

"I have met four Celestial Masters."

Before these four close ministers of the Jade Emperor, Lady Yin, even as the wife of the Heavenly King, dared not be negligent or presumptuous, and took the lead in bowing to them.

"No, no, I wouldn't dare."

Zhang Tianshi waved his hands repeatedly, then looked at Huang Mei: "Why did you two come together?"

Lady Yin said, "I will escort him to see the Great Heavenly Venerable."

The four celestial masters exchanged glances, all seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

Immediately, Master Ge asked, "Huang Mei, what brings you to see the Great Celestial Venerable?"

Huang Mei said gently, "In the Kingdom of Baoxiang, there is a demon who is suspected of stealing the Linglong Pagoda of Heavenly King Li. I suspect that this demon is a celestial demon god, so I have come to ask the Great Heavenly Venerable to investigate."

Upon hearing this, the Four Celestial Masters immediately entered the Lingxiao Palace to report. Before long, the Jade Emperor's voice came from the top of the Nine Heavens:

"Lady Yin, Huang Mei, please enter the hall and wait; the Four Heavenly Masters, check the gods to see who is not in heaven."

"Yes." The gods agreed, and none of them disobeyed.

In the blink of an eye, the Four Celestial Masters returned from their investigation and ascended the throne. Celestial Master Zhang reported, "Reporting to the Great Celestial Venerable, it is Kui Mulang who has descended to the mortal realm."

The Jade Emperor asked, "How many days have they been gone?"

"It has been thirteen days, and thirteen years have passed in the mortal realm."

"I command the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King to lead the Twenty-Seven Constellations to the mortal realm and bring Kui Mulang back to the Heavenly Court for trial," the Jade Emperor ordered.

"Yes, sir." The four Celestial Masters bowed in response and quickly withdrew from the hall.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Huang Mei said sincerely.

The Jade Emperor waved his hand: "You may all wait here with me. Due to the time difference between the two realms, they should be back soon..."

Yunlou Palace.

Li House.

After receiving the decree from the Great Celestial Venerable, Li Jing was stunned for quite a while.

He then learned from Zhang Tianshi that it was his wife who led Huang Mei into the Lingxiao Palace, and his expression became even more complicated.

But before he could ask any further questions, the other three celestial masters brought over the twenty-seven constellations on duty in various places. The group of twenty-eight gods then rode the clouds and mist, heading straight for the mortal realm...
