From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"If someone as capable as you, who can calculate everything under the world, is like this, what about me, the Maitreya Bodhisattva?" the little monk chuckled.

"Buddha?"

"The Buddha of this world has not yet passed away, so I, the future Buddha, am ultimately just a Bodhisattva in the present moment," Maitreya said with a chuckle, delivering a dry joke.

Yuan Shoucheng: "..."

Meanwhile, inside the Little Thunder Temple...

The fair-skinned woman in red asked, "Master, why don't you kill those four little demons who offended you?"

"Although they are foolish, they do have some wisdom."

Huang Mei transformed back into his original little monk form, chuckling as he said, "With just a little guidance, you will be able to comprehend the Great Dao, become my disciple, and serve me."

"Master, please have mercy."

Women are very respectful.

After the wild boar, toad, gorilla, weasel, and the intelligent white horse left Xiaoleiyin Temple, they traveled several miles and came across a village. Feeling hungry, they went there to beg for alms.

When the villagers saw the gorilla carrying the wooden stick, they quickly surrounded it and asked, "Are you the chosen one?"

"The chosen one? No! No... no!"

Having suffered a setback, the gorilla's spirits were somewhat dampened, and he quickly shook his head, "I am... I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven... the Great Sage."

"Isn't he the chosen one?"

The villagers were extremely disappointed. "We heard there was a chosen one, a monkey, who traveled westward to vanquish demons and monsters. We wanted to ask him for help, but we didn't expect you to be him."

The clever pig demon immediately understood that the villagers were referring to another pilgrimage team of seven people. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, folks. Although we are not chosen ones, we are still pilgrims from the Song Dynasty. We can also subdue demons and monsters. What kind of demons do you have here? Tell us, and we'll help you get rid of them!"

"Yes, benefactors, we will definitely help you subdue it."

The toad pondered for a moment. If he couldn't defeat the great demon of the Little Thunderclap Temple, could he really defeat the little demon that was causing trouble in this small village?

There were at least four of them!

Therefore, he also echoed the pig demon's words.

"Can you exorcise demons?"

The village chief didn't believe it.

"Don't look down on us."

The pig demon puffed out his chest and shouted, "The four of us have come all the way from the Song Dynasty. How could we have done it without skill? Look at him—"

The pig demon pointed at the gorilla and said, "This one may not be a chosen one, but he is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"

Upon hearing this, the gorilla regained its confidence, leaned on its wooden stick, and was full of fighting spirit, indeed showing some of the courage of the Monkey King.

The village chief was skeptical, but still decided to try anything, saying, "In that case, I will tell you about the monster that has been making us uneasy."

There are many temples in our area, which house many golden statues, but they have all been taken over by monsters who specifically harm passersby!

We advised passersby not to go to the temple, but those who were in a hurry, upon hearing that there was a golden statue in the temple, were mostly greedy and tried to scrape the gold off the statue, and all of them lost their lives!

Originally, we had no grudge against that monster, but it had eaten too many people and become picky about food, and now it wanted to eat young boys and girls.

A few days ago, more than a dozen children in my village were all taken away!

Now only seven or eight households still have children hidden away.

After saying this, the seven or eight families brought out the children they had hidden earlier and knelt down before the four men, hoping that they could subdue the demon.

"These monsters have gone too far! How dare they eat young boys and girls? They're doomed if they run into us!" The wild boar was furious. He tried to calm the villagers and promised that they would defeat the monsters and rescue all the children in the village!

Before they could even offer three words of comfort, a sudden blizzard began to rise from the sky, and a golden statue descended from the heavens, its entire body gleaming gold, its legs long and hooked, and its arms fanning out frost and snow.

With just a gentle wave, the lower bodies of the wild boar, toad, gorilla, and weasel were frozen solid. The old white horse, which seemed to understand human nature, was so frightened that it quickly darted into the woods, blending into the snow-covered mountains, and escaped.

After that, several gray-bodied bat demons followed behind the monster, using barbs to hook onto the clothes of the boys and girls, scaring them into screaming.

"Monster! Stop!"

The wild boar was enraged and kept hitting the ice on its lower body with its rake.

The gorilla was the strongest. Seeing the children crying, it roared, threw down the stick, raised its arms, and smashed it down hard on its lower body.

boom!

The ice that had frozen his lower body shattered, and the entire ape, on all fours, ran for leverage, leaped up, and raised its fists high, blasting towards the golden Buddha statue demon.

Swah——

But the golden Buddha statue simply flapped its wings and flung the ape demon away, smashing it into the snow and leaving a crater in which it could not climb out.

"As Your Majesty said, you were right; you really did hide some of the children!"

The golden Buddha statue demon cackled and ordered its minions to take the children back to the temple. It then summoned another group of minions, who beat the wild boar, toad, and weasel until they were exhausted before throwing them together with the gorilla. It then said to the trembling villagers, "You actually placed your hopes on these monsters? How pathetic!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the wild boar's head, ripped off its clothes, revealing a coat of reddish-brown fur, and sneered, "He's just a wild boar. What scriptures are he going to retrieve? They're all monsters. They just listened to the storyteller's tale of the pilgrims who went to retrieve scriptures five hundred years ago, and that's why they impersonated them, swindling food and drink along the way!"

In an instant.

The villagers' fear subsided somewhat, and a hint of disgust appeared on their faces as they looked at the wild boar.

"No... I'm not a monster, we're on a pilgrimage..."

Even though it had no strength left, the wild boar remained stubborn and tried to explain.

but--

Snapped!

Before he could finish saying the last word "people," the families whose children had been snatched glared at him and them fiercely. One woman even shouted angrily, "How long are you going to keep lying to us?"

In that instant.

Looking at the villagers who had once looked up to them but now wished them dead, the wild boar felt as if something had shattered in his heart. His eyes trembled, and he couldn't utter the last word...

Chapter 1526 The Little Monster in Langlang Mountain (Part 7)

"Jie Jie Jie!"

The golden Buddha statue demon let out a strange laugh, tossed the wild boar aside, but still wanted to kill him and demoralize him, saying, "How does it feel to be insulted?"

"No, it's just you..."

The wild boar stubbornly braced itself against the ground, defiant.

"Do you know that these cowardly, despicable villagers are lying to you?"

Before he could finish his harsh words, the golden Buddha statue demon interrupted again, glancing at the terrified villagers and sneering, "I heard everything you said to these people."

They didn't even warn passersby not to go into my temple!

On the contrary!

They lured passing knights with gifts of flowers and wine, and used their silver tongues to deceive merchants, eventually leading them to my temple to be fed to me!

In that instant.

The toad stared wide-eyed, the gorilla was incredulous, and the weasel wavered.

Especially the wild boars; remembering what the village chief of the previous village had said, they realized that this village was Wuliang Village, a place that tricked travelers into becoming food for monsters...

He was completely exhausted and collapsed to the ground, looking at the villagers who were avoiding his eyes, completely at a loss.

“For the sake of the blood they provided me, I will not kill them, and I will give them what they asked for.”

The golden Buddha statue chuckled and said, "But when this calamity was about to befall them, they began to pin their hopes on some so-called chosen one to get rid of me."

Ha ha!

Utterly hypocritical!

Having said that, he didn't bother to look at the distraught villagers any longer, and simply ordered, "Considering that you can have children and my king needs young boys and girls to cultivate, I will not kill you. Otherwise, my king would make us go to even farther places to capture people."

and so--

Don't be lazy!

Hurry back inside and give birth!

Afterwards, the golden Buddha statue demon personally led the wild boar, toad, gorilla, and weasel back to his temple.

"Well? Did you get a good look at the villagers' faces?"

Not long after.

Huang Mei arrived at the temple, surveyed the four wounded little demons, and smiled calmly, "We are true to our nature, while they—"

That's the real monster!

The wild boar lowered its head, and the toad sighed.

The weasel stared silently at the luggage that had been brought to the temple with it.

Just as they were all silent, the gorilla shouted, "We will never associate with you!"

"is it?"

Huang Mei smiled and revealed their purpose in pretending to be pilgrims: "You are going west to obtain the true scriptures from Mount Ling. Isn't it just to learn from the pilgrims five hundred years ago and obtain a Buddha position with immortality?"

I can grant you immortality as well!

"this······"

The toad was somewhat tempted.

Then Huang Mei said, "I know you don't believe me, but have you ever heard of a chosen one?"

"I heard those unruly villagers say that in Wuliang Village."

The toad responded.

"That chosen one came from Flower Fruit Mountain and traveled westward, solely to seek the Great Sage's potential."

At this point, Huang Mei looked at the ape and sneered, "Back then, Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, one of the four who went on the journey to the West, was given the title of Victorious Fighting Buddha by Buddha, but he gave up the position and wanted to return to Flower Fruit Mountain to retire. Then he was besieged and attacked by the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling—"

He's dead.

The gorilla's eyes trembled...
