The man, the monkey, and the pig immediately started eating, enjoying themselves immensely, much to the envy of Old Sand in the river.
Pigsy remembered something halfway through his meal and called out to the Flowing Sand River, "Roller, come out and have some with me. Try my cooking."
The sound of the curtain being rolled up could be heard, accompanied by the gurgling of bubbles, "That monkey is still here, I'm afraid he'll hit me."
Sun Wukong said, "It was all a misunderstanding before. I, Old Sun, apologize to you here."
The man with the rolled-up curtain then peeked out, his gaze fixed on Sun Wukong, and asked, "Are you the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?"
Upon hearing this address, Sun Wukong felt as refreshed as drinking an ice-cold beer on a hot summer day. "It is indeed me, Old Sun."
Having received confirmation, General Curtain-Roller was completely out of the Flowing Sand River. After getting ashore, he cupped his hands and said, "General Curtain-Roller greets the Great Sage."
"Of course, of course." Sun Wukong, that monkey, would beam with joy as long as there was a little encouragement. He quickly invited, "Come and have some, it's a pity there's meat but no wine, that's a bit lacking."
Tang Sanzang ate the meat heartily, but his eyes were fixed on the skull on Juanlian's neck.
For some reason, a thought struck him, and he asked, "I wonder if the flesh of this humble monk in his previous lives was delicious?"
Just as Juanlian was about to eat the roast meat, Tang Seng asked him this question, and he froze in shock.
How was he supposed to answer that?
Sun Wukong didn't understand for a moment and asked, "Master, what do you mean by that?"
Pigsy almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but he swallowed the meat while suppressing his laughter, and then gave Tang Sanzang a thumbs up.
For a moment, the situation became awkward.
Guanyin saw it from above. Although it was not appropriate for her to appear now given the circumstances below, she knew that this was her only chance to do so.
Then, a flash of white light appeared, and her figure appeared in the air.
"Sanzang, Wukong, Bajie!"
The sound was ethereal and full of Zen.

Chapter 988 Great Wisdom
When Guanyin appeared, Tang Sanzang knelt down.
"Disciple Tang Sanzang greets Guanyin Bodhisattva."
Pigsy didn't hesitate at all and knelt down on the spot. As the third generation of the three religions, he was supposed to call Cihang his senior uncle.
"Disciple Zhu Wuneng greets Guanyin Bodhisattva."
The curtain roll naturally knelt down as well.
Now only Sun Wukong is standing there, looking at Guanyin and asking, "Bodhisattva, why have you come again?"
“Amitabha! This humble monk has come here to guide Wujing into the Buddhist path, and also to help you cross the Flowing Sand River.”
As Guanyin spoke, she pointed to Sha Wujing's skull necklace, and in the blink of an eye, the necklace transformed into a string of round black beads.
Then he said, “Sanzang, in your previous nine lives you had not yet reached the opportunity to go to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures, which is why Wujing became your tribulation. It was also because of Wujing that you accumulated nine lifetimes of merit.”
Sun Wukong laughed, "So, this monk should thank General Curtain-Rolling?"
Guanyin did not answer, but let Tang Sanzang figure it out on his own.
"Amitabha!" Tang Sanzang, who was also a bit dim-witted, blurted out, "If I don't go to hell, who will? This humble monk really has to thank General Curtain Roller."
"Amitabha Buddha, the Tripitaka has great wisdom."
Guanyin praised him.
Sun Wukong said, "Indeed, he is very clever."
Guanyin frowned. It didn't seem like the word "great intelligence" sounded like a compliment coming from Sun Wukong.
She looked at Tang Sanzang and said, "Sanzang, you and Wujing have a master-disciple relationship. Today, I will take him into my Buddhist sect and shave his head now."
Looking at the still-plenty of roasted meat left, Pigsy said, "Bodhisattva, could we wait until we finish this food to avoid waste?"
Sun Wukong's eyes darted around, and he asked, "Bodhisattva, would you like to have some too?"
"No need." Guanyin closed her eyes and then said, "Then hurry up."
"Okay!" Pigsy replied, and then started eating very quickly.
Seeing this, Tang Sanzang quickly said, "Bajie, don't eat so fast, leave some for your master."
He was so engrossed in the food that he didn't care that Guanyin was right in front of him, and joined the army of rice eaters.
The other Sha Wujing had an appetite no less than Zhu Bajie's; if he didn't speak, he really wouldn't get any food.
Seeing Tang Sanzang's two contrasting expressions in an instant, Guanyin's lips twitched.
Oh no, Tang Sanzang has been completely led astray!
She was speechless for a moment.
After waiting for a long time, the four of them finally finished eating, and the white dragon horse gnawed on the remaining bones.
White Dragon Horse: Am I a dog?
But in order to avoid going hungry, he could only use his steel-like teeth to crush the bones and eat the marrow inside.
Then it all boils down to two words: It's really delicious.
After all, it's bone marrow, especially the spine and shaft bones, which are practically the essence.
After the meal, Tang Sanzang shaved Sha Wujing's head.
He shaved his head but didn't shave his beard, and he looked very tall and imposing.
If someone didn't know better, judging by appearance alone, they would only think that Sha Wujing was the strongest fighter.
With Sha Wujing back in his place, the pilgrimage team was complete.
When the sun rose, Guanyin took out a gourd and, together with Sha Wujing's string of beads, transformed it into a gourd boat, allowing the pilgrimage team to easily cross the Flowing Sand River.
Guanyin watched them leave, then turned and went to Lishan to invite the Old Mother of Lishan.
The Old Mother of Lishan was Fuxi's younger sister. The two were born of the same mother and were both children of Huaxu. Her status among the human race was so high that it was comparable to that of some great sages of the human race.
Not long after, on the only route the pilgrimage team could take, the four goddesses, Lishan Laomu, Guanyin, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra, used the Five Elements magic to build a manor.
The Old Mother of Lishan is the mother, and Guanyin, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra are her daughters.
The Four Sages' test of Sun Wukong's Zen mind was ostensibly a ploy to set him up for marriage.
Since taking in Sha Wujing, Tang Sanzang felt that the journey had been peaceful and he hadn't encountered any powerful demons.
Some of the evil monsters they encountered ended up in their stomachs.
To be honest, Tang Sanzang didn't use the golden alms bowl that Li Shimin bestowed upon him much during this period.
On horseback, Tang Sanzang was picking his teeth with a toothpick. After eating too much meat, it was inevitable that some bits of meat would get stuck between his teeth.
The first person to do this was Sun Wukong. He turned his golden cudgel into a toothpick and started shaving, then held it in his mouth after he finished.
Pigsy and Sandy followed suit.
Tang Sanzang was unknowingly infected, but his nine-ringed staff could not be sized as he wished, so he could only get a tree branch and have Sha Wujing whittle it into a toothpick for him to use.
Standing atop the clouds, the Old Mother of Lishan couldn't help but smile at the sight of the four disciples' behavior.
"I've seen this Golden Cicada before, how come he's been reincarnated and looks like this?"
Guanyin's lips twitched; she didn't know how to explain it.
If Lin Zhu were here, he would definitely tell her that it takes at least three years to form a good habit.
But if you want to develop a bad habit, it only takes three days.
"Brother Monkey!" Pigsy said, holding a miniature nine-toothed rake in his mouth, "The flesh of that snake demon was quite elastic. Be careful with your gallbladder next time you kill it, or you might break it again."
"Second Brother is right," Sha Wujing echoed.
Sun Wukong glared at Zhu Bajie, "Then you go next time?"
“I, Old Pig, will be in charge of cooking, so naturally, it’s up to you, Brother Monkey, to handle the hunting.”
Tang Sanzang rode a horse, accompanied by three scruffy, nonsensical fellows who didn't look like good people.
Fortunately, after Tang Sanzang finished shaving his teeth, he flicked the toothpick and regained his appearance as a high monk.
Pigsy looked at Tang Sanzang and asked, "Master, you've eaten so many monsters these days, which monster's flesh do you think tastes the best?"
Tang Sanzang thought for a moment and said, "Snake meat does taste quite good, and as long as the gallbladder isn't broken, it's relatively easy to prepare."
Pigsy looked at Monkey King and said, “Brother Monkey, you see, Master agrees with my opinion.”
"Alright, alright, you idiot, I'll be more careful next time. And you, Great Congming, now that you've broken through to True Immortal, you can deal with any lesser demons you encounter yourself next time."
Sun Wukong seemed a little impatient.
Tang Sanzang put his hands together and said, "This humble monk understands. But Wukong, one should be more humble. You don't need to call your master so wise every day."
Pigsy said, "Master is just too easily flattered."
Sha Wujing said, "Second Brother is right."
“Amitabha! Lin Zhu Zhenjun once said that humility makes one progress, while pride makes one fall behind. We should take this as a warning.”
Hearing Tang Sanzang's words, Sun Wukong's lips twitched.
It's been over a month, how come the old monk still thinks that great wisdom is a good word?
He couldn't help but shake his head.
Then they heard Pigsy say, "Master, look! There's a house up ahead, built deep in the mountains and forests."
“Amitabha, there must be something fishy going on here.” Tang Sanzang’s expression turned serious. “Perhaps some kind of demon is deceiving people here. Disciples, come with me to take a look.”
Chapter 989 Shifting Cause and Effect
The group moved quickly and soon reached the top of the steps. A steward came to greet them, showing no sign of panic as he looked at the four members of the pilgrimage team.
He asked warmly, "May I ask where you eminent monks come from?"
