From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Bajie sneered, because five hundred years ago, on his journey westward, apart from the Tang Dynasty and India, the emperors of the nine kingdoms he encountered, except for the Lion Camel Kingdom which had been devoured by the Golden-Winged Roc, either wanted to become monks or share the throne with monks, which was all improper.

Jiang Liu laughed and said, "Your Majesty, we cultivators don't even need the people to offer incense, so what use is your empire to us?"

Don't even mention such jokes.

"Once we have rid the demons of evil, then you only need to prepare a meal for us, so that we may be well-fed before we journey west to retrieve the true scriptures."

"it is good!"

The king was overjoyed and asked, "How many soldiers do the sorcerers need?"

"Why bother with soldiers? The seven of us can wipe out all the evil spirits on the ridge and restore peace and order to the Kingdom of Zhu Zi!"

After saying this, Jiang Liu stood up and, together with Bajie, Bajing, Huyuan, Hujue, and Luzhen Pingping, rode the clouds and mist, transforming into a streak of light, heading west towards White Bone Ridge.

"Truly a divine being!"

Upon seeing the seven men possess such extraordinary abilities, the king exclaimed loudly and led his civil and military officials to rise and kowtow, daring not to show the slightest disrespect...

Chapter 1542 Fairy Descends to Earth and Transforms into a Spider

Upon arriving at Pansiling, Jiang Liu spotted a large courtyard in the distance and said to the group, "Needless to say, that must be the Zhu family compound."

Setting down from the clouds and onto solid ground, Pigsy, carrying his rake, sized up the grand mansion. He sniffed the air and detected a pungent, spidery odor. He suggested, "Brother Monkey, since this Zhu family compound looks like it's inhabited, wouldn't it be a bad idea for us to just barge in?"

"That was indeed impolite."

Jiang Liu naturally understood Bajie's thoughts.

In Journey to the West, the seven spider demons were killed by Sun Wukong himself with his golden cudgel, symbolizing the severing of the seven emotions.

It is permissible within this realm.

When his Monkey King arrived at Huanghua Temple during his journey to the West, he had already seen through some of his own limitations and realized that the prehistoric world and the journey to the West could not be equated. So he entrusted the task to Pigsy.

However, this Pigsy is different from the Pigsy in Journey to the West. He not only teased her, but also lost his temper and had a passionate night with Purple Spider, leaving behind a child.

Therefore—

"Bajie, Bajing, you two go knock on the door and go in to check the situation. I will lead Hu Yuan, Hu Jue, Lu Zhen, and Pingping to sweep through the mountains and forests and wipe out all the demons and monsters on Pansiling."

Bajie readily agreed. After watching Jiang Liu and the others depart with Bajing, he turned to look at the courtyard and sighed.

Ba Jing noticed this scene and asked, "Second Senior Brother, do you have any past connection with the Zhu family?"

"Maybe."

Pigsy used his transformation magic to turn into a pig demon and went up to knock on the door.

Seeing this, Bajing didn't ask any more questions and transformed into a pig demon, waiting to the side.

Boom boom boom!

The door opened with a sound, and a little imp peeked out. Upon seeing the two pig demons, he said, "So it's you two brothers who secretly went down from Wushan and sold my Jiangzhen yarn in Zhu Zi Kingdom, making money with my family. May I ask what brings you here today? Have you sold out of Jiangzhen yarn?"

Upon hearing this, Bajie and Bajing were both startled, never expecting that the two pig demons at the Zhu family's shop were actually from Wushan and were subordinates of Lady Wushan.

Fortunately, Pigsy also knew Lady Wushan, named Yao Ji, who was the twenty-third daughter of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. However, he never expected that she would be connected with those seven spider demons.

and many more!

The Queen Mother's daughter and the seven spider demons—

Pigsy suddenly realized the identities of the seven spider demons.

None other than the Seven Fairy Maidens of Heaven!

There is a popular saying that the Seven Fairy Maidens were the seven daughters born to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West during their tribulations in the mortal realm. They later ascended to heaven with the Jade Emperor and became fairies.

But to relinquish the throne of the Heavenly Emperor and enter the mortal realm to undergo tribulations again—such a bold and courageous act…

Apart from his senior brother, which deity in the world would dare to do such a thing?

The seven fairy maidens were not the daughters of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother at all. They were seven spider spirits from the mortal world who were taken in by the Queen Mother and made her her maids. They wove cloth and picked peaches in the garden during the Peach Banquet.

As for those who descend to the mortal realm in private...

It is likely that his senior brother secretly descended to the mortal realm after causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and that's how he became a monster again.

At that time, the eldest brother must have figured out something, which is why he didn't immediately kill the seven spider demons. It was only later, when the spider demons' senior brother—the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord—captured Tang Sanzang and refused to release him, that he ordered Pigsy to take action…

Returning to the present, Bajie bowed slightly and chuckled, "We just finished selling all the fabric in the shop and were planning to come and get some more to send to Wushan as a gift for the lady, so that she won't punish us for coming out without permission."

"Come in."

The little devil invited the two into the courtyard, which was empty and overgrown with weeds. It didn't look like a manor inhabited by living people, but rather like a dilapidated abandoned house.

"I wonder how much agarwood you two brothers are going to take back? I'd like to report the number to Second Madam."

The little devil asked questions as he walked.

"The lady is strict, so I dare not ask for more; two bolts will suffice."

Although Bajie knew Lady Wushan, he wasn't very familiar with her. He just thought that like mother, like daughter, and to save face, he wouldn't ask for an exorbitant amount, so he lowered the price.

Upon hearing this, the little devil vanished in a gust of wind.

Before Pigsy could even wonder, the door to the main room opened, and a woman in green robes walked out—it was truly—

Her hair, powdered and tied up, was black and shiny; her slender waist was adorned with jade.

She is as beautiful as a woman from Tiantai, and is most formidable at her most dangerous.

"You two have always been incredibly demanding in the past, why are you asking for less now?" The woman in green smiled, a hint of amusement in her expression.

[Oh no! I was so focused on Lady Wushan's character that I forgot to consider the nature of the little demon she transformed into!]

Pigsy was annoyed, but he quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Grandma is joking. How could we dare?"

"is it?"

The woman in green pulled a needle from her hair and said softly, "How come the peddler who came to deliver goods to our Zhu family today said that you two died in the Kingdom of Zhu Zi?"

Even monsters need food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, so they naturally need to purchase these from outside sources.

"How could Grandma trust those peddlers? Humans are cunning by nature, especially those who do business with us monsters!"

Bajie knew he had been exposed, but he still tried to defend himself.

"How long are you going to keep up this act?"

"Pig! Bajie!"

The woman in green laughed in anger, enunciating each word clearly, a sharp glint appearing in her eyes.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Pigsy laughed twice, transformed back into his original form, pointed at the woman in green and said, "I see you are young, so I won't bother with you. Bring that old woman out!"

And please return my senior brother's treasures as well!

Out of consideration for our past relationship, I'll spare your life!

"Ah!"

The woman in green sneered, but her gaze fell on Ba Jing, her tone slightly mocking: "Oh, so instead of finding a monkey to be your senior brother, you've found a pretty boy?"

Bajie snorted and introduced his junior brother: "This is my junior brother, the white horse that carried Master back then."

"Indeed, becoming a Buddha is good; even a horse has been transformed into a human."

The woman in green continued to mock him, then transformed into a green spider about two zhang long, its sharp teeth rubbing together and making a "sizzling" sound.

"It really is a descendant of that spider. How disgusting! Old Pig is getting goosebumps."

Bajie shuddered, holding up his rake, and said to Bajing, who had taken out his sword, "Junior brother, don't do it. I'll handle it myself. Just cover for me."

Ba Jing was stunned for a moment, but then saw that Ba Jie was already entangled in a fight with the spider, making the wind whistling in the courtyard. He couldn't help but wonder: Why is Second Brother fighting with this little demon for so long?

Could it be that they were showing mercy?

And so, Pigsy toyed with the green-haired spider for thirty rounds, exhausting her strength, and laughed, "You're no good either!"

"Damn pig's head!"

The blue spider leaped onto the roof, burning with rage, and spat a needle at Pigsy's forehead.

whoosh-

Having cultivated with Jiang Liu for so long, Pigsy had developed some insight into the art of discerning the truth. How could he not see through the embroidery needle? Yet he did not intervene, letting it pierce his brow. He pretended to shake his head and cursed, "Truly a demon, only good at using these shameful things!"

Seeing the blue spider leave, Bajing was about to throw the sword in his hand at its back when Bajie grabbed his wrist and whispered, "Don't rush, brother. If she doesn't run away, how will we find the old spider's lair? Only by finding the old spider can we recover our senior brother's innate talent."

Having said that, Pigsy picked up his rake again and chased after the green spider, shouting, "Don't try to escape, or I'll give you a good rake!"

Only Bajing remained, speechless in place...

Chapter 1543 Pigsy tills the fields and digs through the mountains

Bajie caught up with the green-haired spider, but before he had gone seven or eight miles, he suddenly froze on the spot.

It turned out that the green-haired spider had once again transformed into human form, made a spell with its fingers, and used a magic technique to make the embroidery needle that had pierced into Pigsy's brow tremble.

Inside the Pigsy's interior, a series of past memories emerge—

Before the Moon Palace, chasing after the Jade Rabbit, they discovered it secretly meeting with the Jade Emperor...

In Gao Village, he turned into a wild boar while chasing after Miss Gao...

Zhuogouquan volunteered to fight the demon, but his mind went astray, leading to a ridiculous mess...

In the past, all of this would have been enough to corrupt Pigsy's mind, but now that his mind is close to that of a "Bodhisattva," how could he not see through these things?

Silently reciting the Heart Sutra to calm his mind, he pretended that he was indeed bewitched, his eyes flashing with bloodlust, and led by the green-haired spider, he arrived at another courtyard.

The real Zhu Family Compound.

The ground was paved with blue bricks, and the roof tiles were arranged in a fish-scale pattern. Four beautiful women stood around the house, who were sisters with the woman in blue.

"Get out of here, you stupid thing!"
