Queen Mother Chi Yao muttered in her heart, "Could it be that the other party is stronger than us?
Could it be a Saint? "
As soon as this thought appeared in Queen Mother Chi Yao's mind, it was dismissed by Queen Mother Chi Yao.
Saint?
There were no more Saints in the Three Realms.
The Saints had long left the Three Realms.
In the Three Realms.
There were only clones of the Saints.
And the clones of the Saints were only at the peak of the Sage-to-be.
If a Saint descended into the Three Realms.
The Dao Ancestor would react.
The current Three Realms could not withstand the descent of a Saint.
The descent of a Saint.
The entire Three Realms might be shaken.
The Three Realms were still fine.
That could only mean that.
No Saint had descended into the Three Realms.
Who was the owner of that flash of terrifying divine consciousness?
This needed to be investigated slowly.
…
The West.
Spirit Mountain.
In the Hall of Great Strength.
The Buddhas also sensed that flash of terrifying divine consciousness. The Buddhas frowned slightly and used their own methods.
They wanted to deduce the person behind that terrifying divine consciousness.
Today, the West was prosperous.
The Journey to the West had arrived.
They did not want the so-called variable to appear at this critical moment.
After the Buddhas made some deductions.
They looked at each other.
They shook their heads.
Obviously.
They were unable to deduce the cause and effect of this.
Tathagata, who was sitting on the twelfth grade golden lotus, slowly said, "Guanyin, you have always been in charge of the Journey to the West."
"Have there been any changes recently?"
The Journey to the West had arrived.
A terrifying divine consciousness flashed and swept across the entire Three Realms.
Tathagata Buddha was afraid that something would happen.
This was an unimaginable amount of merit.
The Western Buddhist Sect was prosperous.
They were prosperous.
As the Sect Master of the Western Buddhist Sect, Tathagata Buddha did not want anything to happen!
Guanyin heard this.
She stood up.
She clasped her hands together and said, "Reporting to the Buddha, the Journey to the West has gone smoothly. It has been carried out according to the previous agreement."
"Today, we have not discovered any abnormalities!"
Hearing this, Tathagata Buddha was relieved.
But it was better to be safe than sorry.
Buddhism was prosperous.
This was a huge matter for the entire Buddhist Sect and all the Buddhas present.
He couldn't afford to be careless.
Tathagata Buddha said, "Guanyin, you should understand the importance of this journey to the west."
"In order to prevent unforeseen events from happening."
"I hope that Guanyin can pay attention to the Journey to the West with her real body. If there are any abnormalities …"
"Report to me as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
Guanyin nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Shortly after.
After leaving the Hall of Great Strength, in Spirited Mountain.
…
At this moment.
Hun Xiu, who was in Huaguo Mountain, did not know that he had been "targeted".
He just used his Spiritual Consciousness to sweep around, wanting to know what kind of world this was.
It had actually attracted the attention of so many great figures of the Three Realms.
In Flowerfruit Mountain.
Sun Wukong no longer existed.
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong was still being suppressed by the Five Finger Mountain.
Whoosh.
Hun Xiu's figure flickered.
Then, he disappeared from Mount Huaguo.
Sun Wukong was suppressed in the Five Finger Mountain. He was guarded by the Earth God, the Mountain God, and many Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
He wanted to meet Sun Wukong without anyone knowing.
It was simply impossible.
But that was only for others.
He wanted to meet Sun Wukong.
This was an extremely simple matter for Hun Xiu.
Not only that.
Hun Xiu could also hide from everyone's perception and meet Sun Wukong.
Hun Xiu appeared under the Five Finger Mountain.
Under his feet.
It was the suppressed Sun Wukong.
The once majestic Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, was now just a pitiful monkey in an extremely sorry state.
Sun Wukong sensed that he was shrouded in shadows.
He raised his head.
He looked at Hun Xiu.
"Huh?"
Sun Wukong was stunned.
"Who are you?"
"Why are you here?"
After all, he was still a prisoner!
He was surrounded by the heavenly soldiers, generals, mountain gods, and earth guards of the Heavenly Court. Ordinary people could not get close to this place at all.
Hun Xiu did not answer.
Sun Wukong suddenly thought of something and could not help but say excitedly, "Could it be that you are the eminent monk who went to the west to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures?"
"Old Sun's master?"
Other than this explanation.
Sun Wukong really could not think of any other explanation.
But as soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking.
Sun Wukong began to suspect again.
A monk.
It was not that Sun Wukong had never seen one before.
But Sun Wukong had never seen a monk with long hair.
And although the other party was an ordinary person, but this kind of otherworldly temperament, was this something that a monk could have?
Sun Wukong was very suspicious.
The person in front of him.
It did not seem to be related to a monk at all!
…
Hun Xiu looked down at Sun Wukong under his feet and said, "I was just passing by the Two World Mountain. I wanted to see Sun Wukong, who once caused a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace and was suppressed here."
"He's not a monk who went to the west to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures."
"However …"
"I'm very disappointed in Sun Wukong, who once caused a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace."
"That's it?"
"Causing a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace? I think you're just a joke."
…
"You …"
"You're not a monk?"
Sun Wukong was stunned when he heard Hun Xiu's answer.
There was an accident!
There was disappointment.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
Could a monk have such a temperament?
How was that possible?
Sun Wukong, who came to his senses, looked at Hun Xiu fiercely when he heard Hun Xiu's words and said, "Where did you come from? How dare you make fun of me, your Grandpa Sun?"
"When your Grandpa Sun caused a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace, where were you?"
"Hehe …"
Hearing this, Hun Xiu smiled and said, "You're just a monkey head."
"Even if you learn all the skills, you're still just a monkey head."
"Other than playing a monkey, you're useless."
After Hun Xiu finished speaking.
He laughed and left the Five Fingers Mountain.
"Damn you …"
Sun Wukong was furious.
He shouted.
Unfortunately.
Hun Xiu had already left.
Hun Xiu could not hear Sun Wukong's insults at all.
Sun Wukong was cursing alone.
The Heavenly Soldiers, Heavenly Generals, Earth and Mountain Gods guarding him were dumbfounded. They did not know who Sun Wukong was cursing at.
Other than him.
There was no one else at all.
Could it be that Sun Wukong was crazy?
…
At the same time.
Tang Sanzang rode his horse to the Twin Forks Ridge.
This Twin Forks Ridge was a tribulation arranged by the Journey to the West.
There was a Tiger Spirit here.
He would capture Tang Sanzang according to the script, and then Taibai Jinxing of the Heavenly Court would appear and save Tang Sanzang. After the Journey to the West ended.
Taibai Jinxing would also obtain some merit.
The current Three Realms.
It was not the primordial world of ancient times.
If one wanted to increase their strength.
It was extremely difficult.
Other than working hard to cultivate, there were also Spirit Pills, Heaven and Earth Treasures, and merit.
Merit.
This was something that even the Sage-to-be Mighty Figures were envious of.
And the Journey to the West was the general trend of the Heavenly Dao.
The reason why the Heavenly Court agreed to the Journey to the West was that this was the general trend of the Heavenly Dao and could not be changed at all.
On the other hand.
It was the West that gave the Heavenly Court a reason that they could not refuse. That was merit.
The general trend of the Journey to the West.
The Heavenly Dao.
Great merit had descended.
The Buddhists gave the Heavenly Court a portion of merit, and the Heavenly Court cooperated with the Buddhists to act out the script of the "Journey to the West".
They only needed to act out a play.
Then, they would be able to obtain supreme merit.
The Heavenly Court was very willing to cooperate.
Wasn't this …
When Sun Wukong caused a ruckus in the Heavenly Court, Jade Emperor Zhang Bairen "cooperated" by lying under the table.
He was simply too cooperative!
…
The Heavenly Court!
The current Jade Emperor Zhang Bairen.
A mortal was the emperor.
Although he was the Jade Emperor.
He was in charge of the Three Realms.
But …
He was ultimately a mortal.
He had some meager Dharma powers.
He could not command the gods of the Three Realms at all.
The gods of the Three Realms could listen to Jade Emperor Zhang Bairen's orders whenever they wanted.
They did not want to listen.
They just did not want to listen.
This Jade Emperor.
The supreme of the Three Realms.
He was more of a puppet.
It was a symbol.
Jade Emperor Zhang Bairen did not have much control over the Three Realms.
The supreme of the Three Realms.
How ridiculous.
He was just a mascot.
…
And regarding this.
Zhang Bairen was happy to see it happen.
He was also very clear about his position.
Therefore.
He would obediently be his mascot, his puppet.
He was the supreme of the Three Realms after all.
Even if it was in name.
But he had a great reputation and a great status.
In the Three Realms.
When many mighty figures saw him, they still had to respectfully address him as "Your Majesty".
To a mortal like him, this was already a great honor.
Therefore.
Zhang Bairen was also quite content with the status quo!
…
Taibai Jinxing was determined to obtain the merit in the Twin Forks Ridge. Therefore, he had been paying attention to Tang Sanzang's every move.
When Tang Sanzang arrived at the Twin Forks Ridge, Taibai Jinxing was already hiding in the dark. As long as Tang Sanzang was captured.
He would appear to save Tang Sanzang.
He did not need to put in too much effort.
He only needed to put in a little effort.
Not only could he obtain merit.
He could also pretend to be a little.
This was a good thing.
Where could he find it?
…
Tang Sanzang rode a white horse.
He walked into the Twin Forks Ridge. He did not know that he was about to fall into danger.
All of a sudden.
A cold wind blew.
Tang Sanzang, who was sitting on the white horse, suddenly felt a chill.
He subconsciously hugged his body tightly.
He looked up.
The sun was high in the sky.
The weather was clear.
Why did the cold wind appear all of a sudden?
Tang Sanzang muttered in his heart.
He could not understand.
"Could there be a demon?"
Tang Sanzang thought of this.
Tang Sanzang, who was sitting on the horse, instantly felt uneasy. His body trembled as if it had become colder.
All of a sudden.
What he was afraid of came.
A gust of demonic wind blew.
It swept away Tang Sanzang.
"Ah …"
"Help!"
"Who can save this poor monk?"
Tang Sanzang begged for help.
He had just arrived at the Twin Forks Ridge and was already captured by a demon. What should he do?
He had no magic power.
What if he was eaten by a demon?
What should he do about the important task of obtaining the scriptures?
He carried the expectations of the people of the Tang Empire.
…
In the dark.
Taibai Jinxing saw that the tiger demon had taken Tang Sanzang away. He stroked his white beard with a smile on his face.
Taibai Jinxing understood.
Next, it was time for him to pretend.
Taibai Jinxing did not know.
With him around.
There were no accidents.
That Tiger Spirit was merely at the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
He, Taibai Jinxing, was at the Golden Immortal Realm.
It was easy for him to destroy a small demon at the Heaven Immortal Realm.
There was no pressure.
In the cave.
The tiger demon had a tiger head and a human body. His body was covered in beast skin. The tiger head on his body made ordinary people tremble in fear.
The tiger demon stared at Tang Sanzang.
Tang Sanzang glanced at the tiger demon.
He was shocked.
Tang Sanzang was only Tang Sanzang.
A mortal.
He was not a Buddhist expert like the Golden Cicada Master.
His body trembled.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
This was the first time Tang Sanzang had seen a demon.
A tiger head and a human body.
It was really terrifying.
"Amitabha!"
"Namo Amitabha …"
Tang Sanzang muttered Buddhist scriptures.
He was a mortal.
The only thing that could give him a sense of security was the Buddhist scriptures that he had been chanting.
Buddhist Dharma.
These gave him strength.
They gave him confidence.
Although the fear in his heart did not decrease in the slightest.
But …
At this moment, other than chanting Buddhist scriptures, he did not know what to do at all.
Kneel and kowtow to beg for mercy.
This would not do.
He was a person who went to the west to seek the Buddhist scriptures.
He was an eminent monk of the Buddhist Sect.
Kneel and kowtow to a demon and beg for mercy?
How could that do?
If the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas of the Buddhist sects found out.
Then he would go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reincarnated.
…
The tiger demon stared at Tang Sanzang. Tang Sanzang was sweating profusely. In the eyes of the tiger demon.
Tang Sanzang was a fragrant steamed bun.
It was very fragrant.
It was very tempting.
The tiger demon licked his lips, swallowed his saliva, and stared straight at Tang Sanzang.
Before eating Tang Sanzang.
The tiger demon needed to confirm one thing.
The tiger demon clasped his hands together.
"Amitabha!"
After chanting the name of Buddha.
The tiger demon asked, "Elder, did you come from the Tang of the East and go to the West to pray to Buddha and seek the scriptures?"
"Hmm?"
When Tang Sanzang heard the tiger demon's words, he was delighted. It was as if he had seen hope. He muttered in his heart, "Could it be that this demon is one of us?"
"He kidnapped me not to eat me?
Do you want to treat me warmly instead? "
"Amitabha!"
Tang Sanzang thought of this.
The fear in his heart dissipated quite a bit.
He chanted the name of Buddha.
He raised his head and looked at the tiger demon.
But only after taking a glance at the tiger demon.
Tang Sanzang hurriedly lowered his head.
See no evil.
Tang Sanzang originally thought that since he could look straight at the tiger demon, he was not afraid of the tiger demon at all.
But reality proved that.
That was because he was overthinking things.
He thought too highly of himself.
He did not dare to look straight at the tiger demon.
…
Tang Sanzang lowered his head and said bluntly, "This penniless monk came from the Tang of the East and went to the Western Paradise to pray to Buddha and seek the scriptures!"
"Your Majesty knows this penniless monk?"
"Yes!"
"How can I not know you?"
When the tiger demon heard this, he licked his lips crazily and swallowed his saliva.
So.
He did not catch the wrong person at all.
The fair and tender monk in front of him was Tang Sanzang, Tang Sanzang!
The tiger demon looked at Tang Sanzang greedily. In the eyes of the tiger demon, Tang Sanzang was not a person, but food.
He could live forever.
A supreme food that could increase his magic power.
The tiger demon said, "Everyone in the Three Realms knows that Tang Sanzang, who went to the Western Paradise to seek the scriptures, is the reincarnation of a great philanthropist for ten lifetimes."
"Eat a piece of meat and you will be able to live forever and increase your supreme magic power."
"I didn't expect that Tang Sanzang, who all the demons in the Three Realms want to eat, would fall into the hands of This King."
"The heavens are blessing This King."
"This King is about to live forever and become invincible."
"Hahaha …"
The Tiger Spirit laughed heartily without stopping.
"Uh …"
When Tang Sanzang heard the tiger demon's words, he was stunned. What was going on?
Wasn't this tiger demon one of his own?
What?
This was not preparing to treat him warmly. This was preparing to eat him.
The fear that had dissipated with great difficulty gathered once again.
Compared to before.
Tang Sanzang was even more afraid.
He had yet to reach the spiritual mountain and had yet to obtain the true scripture.
Could it be that he, Tang Sanzang, was going to become the demon's food and die here?
The tiger demon gradually approached Tang Sanzang.
Tang Sanzang was a mortal.
There was no way he could escape.
Tang Sanzang would let him do whatever he wanted.
How did he want to play …
Bah!
He could eat whatever he wanted!
