That's right!

I'm the flying little policewoman of love and justice!

Just as he was about to ask,

Xuanzang tugged at his hand, indicating for him not to speak.

Wanneng had a look of disbelief. "Cuilan left?"

"She left." Gao Taigong sighed,

He looked at him with resentment in his eyes. "You should leave too..,

If it wasn't for you..,

Why did our family have to fall to such a state?

Disperse..,

Disperse! "

If he hadn't brought a helper who looked like he could fight and a monk who seemed to be hiding his strength..,

He would have already gotten someone to chase Wanneng out.

Wanneng stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. Xuanzang stole a glance at him,

He realized that his eyes were red.

He didn't expect things to turn out like this.

It was completely different from what he had imagined. He didn't come back in a grand manner to subdue Cuilan,

And then he tied up his lover..,

He didn't even have the chance to see her.

It turned out that Cuilan wouldn't wait for him where she was.

"Father-in-law."

Wanneng was stunned for a while before he knelt down and bowed twice. "I'm willing to stay and take care of the two of you in your old age. This is my duty."

Xuanzang: "?!"

Wukong moved closer to Xuanzang and sneered softly, "Look at him. He's still talking about his duty. It's so funny."

Xuanzang said seriously, "Wukong, don't always laugh at junior brother.

Look at how pitiful he is. If he really wants to stay, we'll plead with Bodhisattva. "He lowered his head,

"Don't hit me,

The two of us can also learn from him. "

Wukong asked, "Have I hit you?"

"Our family doesn't need you either." Gao Taigong snorted.

He pointed at the young woman that Wukong noticed. "This is Ah Qiao, a concubine that Cuilan took in after he regained his manhood. She is already pregnant with Cuilan's flesh and blood. Our wish now is to raise our child and not think about anything else."

He added, "If you're willing, you can draft a divorce letter. I'll accept it on behalf of Cuilan, and we'll have nothing to do with each other in the future."

Ah Qiao, who was named, obediently bowed to Wanneng. "Greetings, sister."

Wanneng was completely dumbfounded. He had no reaction at all.

What?

Not only did Cuilan leave, but there was also someone else?!

Not only did he have another woman, he even had a child with her?!

He didn't know if he was angry or what, but he felt a pressure in his heart. It was so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.

Not only was Wanneng shocked, but Xuanzang and Wukong were also shocked.

Xuanzang had a 'see, I told you not to talk nonsense' look on his face. He wanted to speak up for Wanneng, but Wukong stopped him.

Wukong said respectfully, "Your Highness, since they have said so, don't feel guilty anymore. The right thing to do is to quickly go back and inherit the throne."

Xuanzang: "…" Do you have to play like this?

Wanneng: "?"

The two of them helped Wanneng out under Gao Taigong's shocked gaze. Xuanzang even kindly let him ride his horse.

Wanneng sat on the horse and looked up at the sky. "I don't know which direction he went. Maybe we'll meet again."

Xuanzang handed him a neatly folded plain handkerchief.

Wanneng opened the handkerchief and covered his eyes. He didn't want others to see his current appearance. "Shifu, why are you so sissy? You even brought a handkerchief. It's because there are too many of these things that the luggage is so heavy."

Xuanzang said, "I brought it with me. It doesn't weigh up the luggage."

Wanneng said, "Even more sissy."

Xuanzang lowered his eyes. "My mother left this for me."

Wanneng said, "Shifu, since you have an old mother at home, why don't you take care of your old age?"

Xuanzang said softly, "She's not here anymore."

After leaving Gaojia Village, they continued their journey to the west. It was much livelier and more prosperous than before. Even the wild animals in the mountains were lively. Intelligent fawns followed them from a distance. Once someone looked over, they would quickly jump away and burrow into the lush bushes.

Wanneng folded the handkerchief again. "Since it's such a precious thing, Shifu should keep it well."

"Things are only alive when used. If you don't use it, it's dead."

Xuanzang said, "Wanneng, since you're no longer in the secular world, just focus on Buddha. Your heart is not calm. Shifu will read you a scripture. Maybe you'll feel something. Recite it with me."

Wanneng: "…" After hearing this, he wanted to cry even more.

Along the way, one of them was whimpering and suppressing her cries, while the other was humming scriptures without arrogance or impatience. Wukong was very impatient and couldn't stop the sound even after stuffing two balls of cotton in his ears. He walked faster and faster, almost leaving their line of sight.

Xuanzang ran behind him. "Wukong, slow down. I can't catch up with you."

"I'll take a look around. Maybe I can find your male daughter-in-law."

Wukong said. Then he laughed at Xuanzang. "Shifu, if your horse doesn't work, I'm afraid we won't be able to walk for three months."

Xuanzang: "…" His education was really useless.

"This is a horse?" Wanneng stopped crying. He lowered his head and touched the horse's mane. "It's so slow. I can't tell."

He poked the horse's butt. The horse was stimulated. It neighed and ran wildly, kicking up clouds of dust. Soon, it disappeared without a trace.

Xuanzang: "!!!"

He chased after it. But he was born weak. After running for a while, he stopped panting. He then realized that he had entered the deep and dark Black Pine Forest.

Xuanzang wanted to cry but had no tears. He didn't know if he should move. At least one of them should stay!

He knew how tempting it was to eat a piece of immortality. Once his disciples were a little further away, there would definitely be monsters who would follow the smell and find him.

Wukong and the others said that night. Now all the big and small monsters in the world were spreading the news that if he ate it, he would be able to live forever. Maybe there was someone watching in the dark …

Sure enough, before he could even stand firm, more than a dozen strange looking little demons jumped out from all around him. They were holding wooden sticks, wooden forks, and other similar weapons. They shouted, "A monk is coming!" Then they grabbed his head, grabbed his feet, and carried him away.

These monsters did not look as romantic as Wu Neng. There were no flowers or plants in the cave either. Along the way, they only saw skeletons strewn all over the place. The chilly wind blew, carrying with it the stench of blood and other foul smells. Occasionally, there was the aroma of meat, but it made Xuanzang want to vomit.

Finally, the little monsters put him down and discussed, "He looks delicious. Should we steam him?"

"It's better to boil him." Another little monster was drooling. "It looks very nutritious to boil soup stock."

"I like to eat barbecue …"

"Don't move."

A more stable monster stopped them. "The king said that all monks must be kept for him to see."

Xuanzang's heart skipped a beat. Since the king paid so much attention to monks, he must have heard the news that Tang Seng meat could make one live forever.

If Wukong and Wanneng didn't find him missing, he might die here!

The little monsters gathered around him to study him.

"So this is what a monk is like!"

They took off Xuanzang's Buddha crown and touched his bald head curiously.

Xuanzang: "…"

Have you never seen a monk before? Have you never seen a bald man?!

Are you monsters so good at protecting your hair?

Xuanzang felt aggrieved as he let them touch his head. His scalp was about to be rubbed off. From their conversation, he learned that the king usually stayed in the water and would only come ashore to teach them when he had nothing to do.

He was actually an amphibian …

He hoped that the king could stay in the water for a longer time. It would be best if he could sleep. He also hoped that his disciples wouldn't be so careless. A master was very precious and fragile.

However, in less than a minute, a little monster reported, "The king is here, the king is here!"

The little monsters dispersed, leaving Xuanzang behind. The last little monster that ran away even kindly put the Buddha crown on him.

Xuanzang raised his head and looked at the amphibian. His appearance after being ravaged could be said to be delicate and pitiful.

"My king, we caught a monk!" A more stable monster presented a treasure.

"Well done."

The king nodded. "We have to be strict in the coming days. Bring back all the monks. Don't let any of them go. If anyone else gets one, inform me immediately."

The little monsters acknowledged.

Xuanzang looked at the king and trembled even more. He was big and burly, with messy hair and a fierce gaze. He had a gloomy appearance and a full beard. One look and one could tell that he wasn't a good person.

The king brought him into his room. Xuanzang understood that he wanted to enjoy immortality alone.

The king's room was just a hole. Upon entering, Xuanzang's legs turned to jelly. The decorations inside were only bones. There were no less than ten human heads piled up. Those empty eyes seemed to be alive as they looked at him, calling for him to become one of them.

There were stone tables and chairs in the room. The monster didn't eat him immediately. Instead, he invited him to sit down.

Xuanzang sat down fearfully and faced him. Only then did he realize that there was a skull bracelet around his neck. There were nine skulls strung together.

"I have a wish, which is to eat ten monks and string their heads together." The monster stroked his skull bracelet and sized up Xuanzang. "Including you, I have all of them.

These are all monks that I cooked and ate. They're your kind. "

Xuanzang: "… What a coincidence." Did he have to greet him?

The monster sneered. "I'm lying. These are all fugitives passing by. Moreover, they're being roasted."

… She really was a monster with a sense of humor.

Also, why did he have to sneer when he was telling a joke? It was very scary!

Was it because it was a lame joke?

Speaking of roasting, he really missed the steamed buns that Wukong baked for him …

Xuanzang thought sadly. His disciple was useless at such a crucial moment.

"Where are you from?" the king asked coldly.

Xuanzang tried to calm down. He definitely couldn't say that he was from the Tang Dynasty. "I'm a monk from a small country in the east. I'm here to visit my relatives and friends …"

He was just trying to protect himself. This didn't count as breaking the precepts. It didn't count …

The king said, "Oh. You're not from the Tang Dynasty. You can eat them."

Xuanzang: "???!!!"

Wait, wait a minute. This was different from what was agreed upon!

Was this monster trying to trick him into admitting that he was an immortal monk?

But what was the point of doing so?

Wasn't he going to be eaten anyway …

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion outside. The little monsters ran in crying. "King, bad news!

An especially scary monkey barged in from outside!

He said he wants his master!

They killed so many of us. Wuwuwu … "

Xuanzang was overjoyed and almost jumped up. Wukong didn't let him down!

The king looked at him. "You're Tang Seng?!"

Xuanzang gathered his courage and nodded. "You, you can't eat me. My disciple is very powerful. He's going to hit you …"

The king fell silent and stared at him. He thought that he was an old monk.

Bam!

The cave outside exploded into pieces. The Monkey King barged in with the Jingu Bang. When he saw Xuanzang, he was relieved and started fighting with the king without any explanation.

The king used a staff to block with no intention of fighting. "Stop!

We're family! "

Wukong only sneered and didn't say a word. His actions became more ruthless, probably because he was angry.

Only then did the king say, "I was instructed by Avalokitesvara to wait here for the person who wants to learn the scriptures!"

Xuanzang: "…?"

Only then did Wukong stop. However, the Jingu Bang was still on his staff as he looked at Xuanzang.

Xuanzang said weakly, "He really didn't eat me just now …"

Wujing took off the messy wig in front, revealing a bald spot in the middle. Only a circle of hair around it was still stubbornly growing. His gaze was deep. "I have already converted to Buddhism. This was shaved by Avalokitesvara personally."

He had been bald for many years.

It was also proof that he was a monk.

Wukong didn't say anything. Nowadays, it was a disgrace for demons to be bald. Even if there were bald, they would definitely try their best to grow it back. If they couldn't use it as a decoration, it was proof of sincerity and goodwill that they were willing to show their bald head.

He pulled Xuanzang's hand and patted the dust off his body. He straightened the Buddhist crown. "Let's go and see where that pig went."

Xuanzang corrected him. "Don't say that, Junior Brother …"

"He's not a pig." Wukong was indifferent. "He didn't even realize that his master was missing."

Xuanzang thought silently, Aren't you the same?

However, Wukong thought that Wanneng would be watching him, so he couldn't be blamed.

***

The new disciple didn't talk much. He only said that his secular surname was Sha and that Avalokitesvara gave him the name Wujing. He didn't say anything else and dismissed the crying demons.

Xuanzang saw that Wukong had killed a lot of people and there were many white bones in their cave, so he chanted some sutras before leaving.

Then, they went to find Wanneng together.
