Sun Wukong did several somersaults in the air, his clothes were tattered.

Five hundred years have passed, and his armor has been worn out, requiring a considerable amount of time to recover.

His current appearance is rather unsightly; even Guanyin (the Bodhisattva of Compassion) cannot bear to look at him.

"Wukong, hurry down to see your master."

Sun Wukong then stopped in mid-air and transformed into a golden light, appearing in front of Lin Zhu and Tang Sanzang.

However, he never expected Lin Zhu to appear here. He was stunned for a moment, and then, on a whim, he knelt down before Lin Zhu.

Guanyin, seeing this, was immediately startled, 'This monkey!'

She quickly used her great magic to stop Sun Wukong from bowing, and then shouted, "Shut up!"

Chapter 937 Sun Wukong Returns to the Team

Sun Wukong felt the immense magical power surrounding him, and was shocked to realize that Guanyin Bodhisattva's strength was not much less than that of the Buddha.

There was also regret, 'It's a pity we didn't succeed.'

Guanyin had no choice but to descend from the sky, take out the willow branch from her jade bottle, and whip Sun Wukong three times. "You monkey, you always know how to find loopholes. I made you worship Sanzang, not Lin Zhu Zhenjun."

"Sigh!" Sun Wukong sighed, then said somewhat reluctantly, "I, Old Sun, understand." He bent his knees and knelt down before Tang Sanzang, saying emotionlessly, "Disciple Sun Wukong greets Master."

"This!" Tang Sanzang felt that he was asking a difficult question. "Bodhisattva, this is probably not appropriate."

Guanyin explained, “Sanzang, there is no need to feel burdened. This monkey once wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, committing countless sins. He was then subdued by the Buddha and imprisoned under the Five Fingers Mountain for five hundred years. This time, he is protecting you on your journey to the West to obtain the scriptures, which can be considered as atonement for his past sins.”

"I see." Tang Sanzang then turned to Sun Wukong, helped him up, and said, "Now that you have entered my Buddhist order, how about I give you a Dharma name?"

Sun Wukong looked at Tang Sanzang and felt that he was a decent person, so he didn't mind becoming his disciple and said, "Please give me a name, Master."

Lin Zhu said softly, "How about calling him 'The Wanderer'?"

The sound was very soft, and Tang Sanzang didn't hear it, but Sun Wukong, Guanyin, and Cheng Yaojin all heard it.

"Judging from your appearance, you seem like a wandering monk. How about we call you Wanderer?"

Sun Wukong was stunned, as were Guanyin and Cheng Yaojin.

Guanyin even used her telepathic abilities to look into Tang Sanzang's mind, only to find that she couldn't see it.

How did he guess that?

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up. "Brother Lin, your skills are amazing! I want to learn them."

"Wukong, what do you think of this Buddhist name?"

Tang Sanzang, seeing that he did not react, assumed that he was dissatisfied.

Sun Wukong quickly replied, "Yes, yes, thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Master."

Seeing that Sun Wukong had already become Tang Sanzang's disciple, Guanyin said, "Now that this matter is settled, this humble monk will take his leave. Farewell, True Lord Linzhu."

Lin Zhu nodded, "Take care, Your Excellency."

Tang Sanzang and Cheng Yaojin bowed and said, "Respectfully seeing off Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Sun Wukong stood upright; he wasn't wearing the golden headband yet, so he wouldn't kneel down to pay homage.

After Guanyin left, he looked at Lin Zhu and asked, "Brother Lin Zhu, what are you doing here?"

Lin Zhu smiled and said, "Of course I'll accompany you on your journey to the West to retrieve the scriptures."

"That's great!" Sun Wukong was very happy, then looked at Cheng Yaojin, "Is this little fat guy also here? I wonder what his identity is?"

Lin Zhu explained, "This is Cheng Yaojin, the Duke of Lu of the Tang Dynasty, who escorted us here."

Upon hearing that he was from the Tang Dynasty and a fellow townsman of Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong laughed and said, "I, Old Sun, have been impolite."

"I, Cheng Yaojin, have seen the Monkey King before." Cheng Yaojin also looked at Sun Wukong with curiosity, and felt that he was not much different from ordinary monkeys.

It has a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth, and looks a bit fierce.

"You're too kind, too kind." Sun Wukong had a good impression of Cheng Yaojin. After all, he was the second person to call him "Divine Monkey." The first was a child who brought him peaches. More than seventy years had passed, and he didn't know if the child was still there.

Lin Zhu said to Cheng Yaojin, "Old Cheng, give the luggage to Wukong, and then you can go back."

Sun Wukong looked at the luggage, then turned to Lin Zhu and said, "Brother Lin, why don't you just pack this luggage yourself? Why make someone carry it?"

Lin Zhu said, "Go ask your master."

Sun Wukong looked at Tang Sanzang.

Then, Tang Sanzang began his sermon.

Sun Wukong felt a headache coming on and his ears were itchy. He couldn't help but look up at the sky. He was afraid that he had been assigned a terrible master and would suffer in the future.

He had no choice but to take on the job of carrying the luggage.

After handing over the luggage, Cheng Yaojin bowed and said, "Gentlemen, I'll take my leave now."

"Wait a minute." Lin Zhu called out to him, flipped his hand, and took out a gourd. "There are one hundred five-turn Dragon Tiger Qi Blood Pills in this gourd. Ten of them are for you, and you can take the rest to Li Er."

Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly accepted it, saying, "Old Cheng thanks you, True Lord, and also thanks you on behalf of His Majesty."

Lin Zhu waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, no need to thank me. Go back now."

After Cheng Yaojin left, Sun Wukong asked curiously, "Brother Lin, what kind of pill is this Five-Turn Dragon-Tiger Blood Qi Pill? Can I, Old Sun, try some?"

As expected of a monkey, it wants to try everything.

Lin Zhu grinned mischievously, "Are you sure? Don't blame me if you get sick from eating it." As he spoke, a pill enveloped in red light appeared in his palm.

Sun Wukong immediately smelled the strong bloodthirsty aura emanating from it and quickly took three steps back, exclaiming, "How can I possibly consume this pill?"

"Why can't I eat it?" Lin Zhu threw the Five-Turn Dragon Tiger Blood Qi Pill into his mouth and swallowed it.

Suddenly, a surge of power erupted within him, and after refining it, his magical power increased somewhat.

Then he said, "Since you don't cultivate martial arts, you really can't eat this, it's easy to damage your foundation." He then casually took out a yellow robe, "Put this on first, don't look like you were in Flower Fruit Mountain."

"Hehe!" Sun Wukong chuckled, quickly took the robe, and put it on in a flash. "Thank you, Brother Lin."

Seeing that the man and the monkey were chatting happily, Tang Sanzang did not want to stop them, but seeing that it was getting late, he had to remind them: "True Lord, Wukong, it's getting late, let's get going."

"Yes, Master." Sun Wukong immediately went between the two pieces of luggage and was about to pick them up.

When he stood up, his shoulders weren't even as high as the carrying pole, so he naturally couldn't lift the luggage.

"Ah, this!" Tang Sanzang's expression was strange.

Lin Zhu, however, had no inhibitions and burst into laughter, "Monkey, you're too short."

Sun Wukong was furious and kicked the luggage over, yelling, "You inanimate object, how dare you treat me, your old Sun, with disrespect?"

Tang Sanzang's expression darkened. "Wukong, monks should guard against arrogance and impatience. It's just luggage."

"Understood." Sun Wukong had a sudden inspiration. He floated into the air, carrying the luggage without his feet touching the ground, and then looked at Lin Zhu. "Brother Lin, is my method alright?"

"Not bad, you have a bit of cleverness. Let's go."

As Lin Zhu spoke, she lay down on Lin Zhao's back, feeling quite comfortable.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, the sound of horses' hooves flies swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, they had passed the Five Finger Mountain area and completely left the Tang Dynasty, entering foreign territory.

Over the next two days, Lin Zhu used the laws of space, and his speed increased by more than thirty times.

They can travel millions of miles in a single day.

Before long, they arrived at Eagle's Sorrow Gorge.

Tang Sanzang's stomach rumbled, and he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Wukong, go and beg for some alms for your master."

Sun Wukong stepped forward, took the purple-gold alms bowl, and was about to leave when he saw Lin Zhu lying on the back of the black and white dumpling, gnawing on a chicken leg.

He smelled the delicious food and his mouth watered so much that he no longer wanted to go begging for alms.

Chapter 938 Sun Wukong's Old Friends

"Brother Lin, you can eat a chicken leg all you want, but why are you eating it in front of me, Old Sun?"

Sun Wukong felt that his brother Lin Zhu was getting a bit annoying.

Lin Zhu laughed and said, "I'll give it to you, but you won't eat it."

Sun Wukong felt this was completely unreasonable, "That old monk won't let me, Old Sun, eat it."

"Is it my fault? Alright, alright, I'll give you some when he's asleep tonight." Lin Zhu said this to Sun Wukong in front of Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang felt extremely aggrieved, "True Lord, Wukong, you, you..."

Sun Wukong wanted to roll his eyes. "Brother Lin, you need to restrain yourself. If you make this old monk sick, we'll have to take care of him. Forget it, I'm just indulging in my appetite."

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang felt some relief from his frustration.

Lin Zhu said, "Back when we were at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, we ate with Guanyin Bodhisattva, and she didn't say anything. Tang Sanzang is the same, sigh!"

He shook his head as he spoke.

Sun Wukong suddenly remembered something, "That's right, Guanyin Bodhisattva has also eaten meat." So he said to Tang Sanzang, "Master, if Guanyin Bodhisattva can eat, why can't we? It will save me, Old Sun, the trouble of begging for alms for you."

"Amitabha." Tang Sanzang didn't know how to explain this at the moment. So Guanyin Bodhisattva really had eaten meat!

Sun Wukong leaped over to Tang Sanzang and said, "Master, let's have some."

Tang Sanzang turned his head and said, "You can go and beg for alms for your master."

Sun Wukong was speechless. He whispered, "Bodhisattvas can eat it, but I, Old Sun, can't?" He then looked at Lin Zhu and said, "Brother Lin, you shouldn't invite Guanyin to dinner anymore. Monks and nuns can't eat meat. When I have time, I, Old Sun, will go to the Heavenly Court again and ask the Queen Mother of the West not to invite those Buddhists to her Peach Banquet."

Tang Sanzang asked curiously, "Is there meat served at the Peach Banquet?"

Lin Zhu said, "Indeed, there is wine and meat. The wine is the finest liquor, and the meat is like dragon liver and phoenix marrow. You ate quite a lot of it back then."

Tang Sanzang asked in confusion, "This humble monk?"

Lin Zhu laughed and said, "As you know, you are the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi. I remember we met once at Yaochi more than 800 years ago. Among the Buddhists, you and Ananda and Kasyapa are the most greedy."

"Ah!" Tang Sanzang blushed and murmured "Amitabha" again.

Sun Wukong became interested. "Brother Lin, tell me, what was the situation with Master back then?"
