Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

Lin Zhu was stunned by his words and immediately said, "Senior is mighty."

"Not at all!" the ginseng fruit tree said modestly, but it was clearly pleased with the praise from the bamboo.

In the following period, besides getting familiar with the environment and people of Wuzhuang Temple, Lin Zhu spent his time condensing the Three Lights Divine Water into the ginseng fruit.

At this point, without Lin Zhu's support of the spacetime laws, the westward journey slowed down considerably, taking more than a month to reach the Liusha River.

Pigsy's stomach was rumbling loudly, and Tang Sanzang, hearing it, caught the urge and started rumbling too.

"Brother Monkey, I, Old Pig, am hungry. Do you have any food?"

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes. "I, Old Sun, don't even have anything to eat. You idiot, go cool off somewhere else."

Pigsy asked, "Brother Lin, didn't you leave any food for yourself?"

He's become somewhat addicted to it.

Tang Sanzang also secretly swallowed his saliva.

"No, no," Sun Wukong said, somewhat annoyed. "My brother left in such a hurry, I, Old Sun, still want to eat!"

"Alas!" Tang Sanzang sighed. "Wukong, my stomach is really growling with hunger. Go and look around to see if there are any evil demons causing trouble."

Helpless, Sun Wukong knew that Tang Sanzang needed nourishment for his cultivation, so he could only go and search for where the demons might be.

It can't be a demon.

Demons possess malevolent energy, and the three of them, along with the little white dragon, did not know how to purify the malevolent energy in the demon's flesh and blood, so naturally they could not eat them.

Tang Sanzang was genuinely hungry, while Zhu Bajie simply wanted to eat.

Above, Guanyin's lips twitched. How did Tang Sanzang become like this?

It's all that Lin Zhu's fault; he completely led the holy monk astray.

Before Sun Wukong left, Tang Sanzang specifically instructed him: "Wukong, don't mistakenly kill a good demon."

"I, Old Sun, know that. I don't need you to remind me, monk," Sun Wukong said, somewhat annoyed.

After he left, Pigsy took a Five-Turn Pure Yang Purple Gold Pill in front of Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang looked on with envy, but he knew he couldn't take the elixir; its potency was too strong and wouldn't be good for him.

"Bajie, when will you be able to break through?"

Pigsy said, "Master, you haven't even broken through to the True Immortal Realm yet, how could I, Old Pig, break through so quickly?"

"That's true." Tang Sanzang nodded.

Pigsy escorted him, and soon they heard the sound of flowing water ahead.

Upon closer inspection, it was impossible to tell how many thousands of miles it stretched.

"Bajie, look, this river is so wide, why is there no one around it?"

Pigsy put down his luggage and looked ahead. He saw that the river was swift and the surface of the river was covered with a layer of fine sand, which splashed out as the river surged.

Looking into the distance, there is a stone tablet that reads, “The Flowing Sand River stretches for eighty thousand miles, the Weak Water is three thousand miles deep, even a goose feather cannot float, and reeds sink to the bottom.”

He ran up to Tang Sanzang and said, "Master, something terrible has happened! We've encountered a river blocking our way."

Tang Sanzang asked, "Why do you say that?"

Pigsy then told Tang Sanzang what was written on the stone tablet.

Tang Sanzang asked, "What should we do?"

Pigsy said, “If it were just me and Monkey King, let alone the 80,000-mile Flowing Sand River, even the 8 million-mile Flowing Sand River would only take us a few breaths. But Master, although you also have cultivation, you are still a mortal. You cannot cross it until you reach the Golden Immortal realm. We don’t even know if there are demons in the river.”

"This!" Tang Sanzang frowned, unsure of what to do.

Just as he frowned, the curtain in the Flowing Sand River sensed Tang Sanzang's arrival through the skull on his neck.

"Ha~ I can have a big meal again."

He has lived at the bottom of the Liusha River for many years and has gradually been assimilated by the river, and has already developed some of the characteristics of the fish monster.

It was an excellent swimmer, and with the slightest movement, it broke the surface of the water. Just then, it saw Pigsy and Tang Sanzang talking, and it pounced on them.

With both hands outstretched, they were about to grab Tang Sanzang.

Its body was so tall that it was nearly five feet taller than Pigsy (Zhu Bajie).

Tang Sanzang, who already possessed cultivation, sensed the danger and activated his Golden Bell Shield to protect himself.

When Pigsy saw the flash of golden light, he knew danger was approaching. He turned around and saw the curtain rolling up menacingly.

"Oh no, Master, be careful!"

Chapter 987 The Curious Tang Monk

"All Buddhas Pay Homage to the Ancestor!"

A Buddha image rose up, surrounded by swastikas. The Buddha was ten feet tall and transformed into a thousand hands. As Tang Sanzang pushed out his palms, endless Buddha light condensed in his palms.

Suddenly, an endless golden light appeared.

Juanlian felt a golden light before his eyes and involuntarily closed them, causing his movements in the air to pause for a moment.

The force of the palm strike didn't harm him in the slightest; the difference in skill was too great.

But this bought Pigsy some time for the rescue.

"Eat my old pig's rake!"

The nine-toothed rake, imbued with the power of heaven and earth, took the shape of a nine-headed phoenix and struck the rolled-up curtain with a single stroke.

Juanlian quickly took out his demon-subduing staff to block Zhu Bajie's rake, but he was also knocked away and landed on the surface of the Liusha River.

"What a monster! How dare you capture my master! State your name!"

Rolling up the curtain gave a cold snort, "You pig-headed idiot, listen up."

He immediately introduced himself.

Pigsy was stunned. "You're actually Curtain Roller? Curtain Roller? I, Old Pig, am Marshal Tianpeng!"

Upon hearing this, Juanlian was dumbfounded. "You are Marshal Tianpeng? How is that possible? Although Tianpeng is of similar build, he shouldn't have a pig's head."

He was somewhat skeptical, but after looking at the nine-toothed rake in Pigsy's hand, he had no choice but to believe it.

They served as ministers in the same court and had both attended the Peach Banquet. Although they weren't very familiar with each other, they still knew each other.

"Ah, let me tell you the story in detail." Pigsy also recounted his experiences.

Upon hearing this, the curtain-roller couldn't help but sigh, then looked at Tang Sanzang and asked, "So this is the one who went on the pilgrimage?"

"That's right." Pigsy nodded subconsciously, then paused. "Roller Curtain, are you saying you also want to become a disciple of the pilgrim?"

The curtain-roller nodded. "Back then, I was enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva, who told me that as long as I waited here for the pilgrim, I could attain enlightenment again."

Pigsy thought for a moment and nodded, but when he saw the nine skulls on the curtain's neck, he asked again, "Have you eaten people?"

The man with the curtain rolled up his sleeve didn't hide anything and said, "He ate nine monks and was also a pilgrim on a pilgrimage."

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang's heart stirred. 'Lin Zhenjun once told me that I had been reincarnated nine times, and each time I died a violent death. Could it be that I died at the hands of this demon?'

Looking at the nine-headed beaded necklace of Sha Wujing, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Guanyin was dumbfounded. 'No, you, Pigsy, have revealed everything! How am I supposed to make my entrance?'

Just then, a golden light fell, and with a "bang," it was a jackal.

When Sun Wukong saw the curtain roll from the cloud, he immediately roared, "You monster, take this from my old Sun!"

This monster has a skull necklace around its neck; you can tell at a glance it's no good.

The golden cudgel slammed down on his head.

The Curtain-Roller had a strong sense of danger. It raised its Demon-Slaying Staff and barely blocked the attack, but it lost its footing on the river and was knocked into the water.

Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow, "They got away!"

Pigsy was dumbfounded and said to the sky, "You wretched monkey, why did you attack without warning?"

Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, then said to Zhu Bajie, "You idiot, say it to me again?"

Seeing the ferocious-looking monkey, Pigsy cowered behind Tang Sanzang, saying, "Don't do anything rash. That's the Curtain-Raising General, who's going to join us too."

Tang Sanzang was also a little scared. He was afraid that Sun Wukong would dislike him and hit him with his staff as well.

He remembered Zhu Bajie's behavior.

But he also said, "Wukong, you're too impulsive."

Sun Wukong scratched his head. "It's my fault."

"What do you mean by 'calculate'!" Pigsy became arrogant and stepped out from behind Tang Sanzang, who was actually only up to his chest.

"Brother Monkey, you're wrong."

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up. "Idiot, are you asking for trouble again?"

Pigsy hid behind Tang Sanzang again, adding fuel to the fire, "Master, look at Monkey King, he's attacking even when he's in the wrong."

Tang Sanzang was still quite pragmatic, and scolded Zhu Bajie, "Alright, Bajie, Wukong is just eager to save his master, and his intentions are good."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong calmed down and said to Zhu Bajie, "You idiot, you cook. I, Old Sun, can't."

"I'll do it." After all, Pigsy had lived in Cloud Stack Cave with Sister Mao for a while, so his cooking skills were not bad.

They immediately began to skin and debone the meat, separating it into chunks.

As for the internal organs, they were all thrown into the Liusha River.

Next comes roasting over a fire, adding seasonings to remove any fishy smell and enhance the aroma.

Sun Wukong smelled the aroma and exclaimed, "I never imagined you, you fool, had such skill!"

"What's so special about this?" Pigsy said while roasting the meat. "Brother Monkey, there's a lot more you don't know."

The barbecue of an entire monster is like a mountain of meat. If an ordinary person were to barbecue it, it would take at least seven days and seven nights, and they would have to eat it while grilling.

Otherwise, the outside will be burnt while the inside remains raw.

But Pigsy is different. Once he activates his magic, it only takes an hour for him to be fully cooked inside and out, and the seasonings will also be absorbed into his body.
