South China Sea, bamboo forest.

"Master, the dog demon Abao has already sent the mutton over. Once Sun Wukong tastes the mutton, he will definitely fall in love with the taste. I believe he will soon take the initiative to leave Huaguo Mountain and go to Aolai Country to catch a 'sheep' and cook it. By then, the Heavenly Court will have a reason to eliminate demons and monsters, so there is no need to worry that he will not take the bait..."

The monk Hui'an, who was standing behind the Bodhisattva Guanyin, looked like an immortal, but the words he said were chilling. He was obviously of human origin, but when he saw the cruel scenes reflected by the circular light technique, he was not moved at all.

It's not just Mu Zha.

This is also true for Guanyin Bodhisattva, who is sitting on the lotus platform with a compassionate look on his face.

Although there are heaven and hell to maintain order in the world of Journey to the West, monsters with background and strength that harm ordinary people are usually not restricted.

This can be clearly seen from the description of Lion Camel Ridge in the original novel of Journey to the West.

[…Sun Dasheng entered the cave entrance and looked around. He saw: skulls like a mountain, bones like a forest. Human hair turned into felt pieces, human skin and flesh rotted into dust. Human tendons were entangled in trees, dry and burnt and shining like silver. It was really a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and it was indeed smelly. The little demon in the east took the living people and skinned them…]

In Journey to the West, it is very common for a successfully cultivated demon to eat humans just like humans eat wild beasts. However, this is a very common occurrence, and the Heavenly Court will not allow it, so the demon will be targeted for punishment.

He is a demon, a monster, an evil devil spurned by heaven and earth.

As long as Cheng Long's clone Sun Wukong eats the "mutton" sent by Po, then Guanyin, who planned the Journey to the West, will have won a game and can officially notify the Heavenly Court to send elite soldiers to capture the monster.

However, things went counterproductive.

Sun Wukong only scratched the mutton twice and found something wrong.

"Sun Wukong is indeed a stone spirit born and raised by nature. He has sharp eyes and he discovered this!" Guanyin sighed and ordered, "Mu Zha, go to Huaguo Mountain quickly and kill the sheep to avoid future troubles."

"Yes, Master."

Mu Zha nodded in response.

Looking at Sun Wukong who was furious under the Round Light Technique, he, who had originally been confident of victory, suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness in his heart.

The stone spirit, which was supposed to transform into a monkey, transformed into a human when it was born. Now it actually thinks of itself as a human and attacks Po who eats "mutton".

This made Mu Zha doubt his own humanity.

After all, as a human being who planned this drama himself, he was not that angry.

Is it because they are used to being high and mighty, making weak humans like ants, or has he turned into a vulgar person who flatters the superiors and bullies the subordinates?
Maybe both!
……

Huaguoshan.

boom!
A violent shaking sound came from the Water Curtain Cave, causing the monkeys picking fruits nearby to have their hair stand on end, as if an unknown terror had descended. The monkeys were so scared that they ran around in panic, and several of them even bumped into tree trunks while fleeing and fell from the tree.

"Sir, please show some mercy! If you continue to hit me, Abao will be beaten to death."

Inside the cave, Aunt Qing, whose face turned pale with fear, saw Abao being beaten to death by the young master, and subconsciously began to beg for mercy.

Before meeting Cheng Long.

She and the four demons, Abao, Huayue and Laogui, have lived together for hundreds and thousands of years. Although their feelings for each other are not very deep, she is unwilling to see Abao being beaten to death by the young master because of his good intentions and wrong behavior.

In her opinion, Abao didn't actually commit a serious fault. At most, he didn't know that the young master liked him and offered meat that he shouldn't have, which caused Thunder's wrath.

This is not a big problem, just be careful next time.

But she didn't understand one thing.

That is, although Sun Wukong is a stone spirit, his soul is that of a real person.

In the next second, Abao, the dog demon who had transcended the tribulation and become an immortal, was beaten back to his original form by Cheng Long with a palm, and turned into a slender, weak hunting dog.

"Abao, you became an immortal because of my guidance. Now I have destroyed your cultivation. Do you have any complaints?" Cheng Long put his hands behind his back and looked coldly at the hound in front of him.

"..."

How could Po, who was beaten back to his original form, not have complaints? However, feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Brother Sun and the other party's cold eyes, he didn't dare to attack at all.

It instinctively lowered its head and tucked its tail between its legs.

"Sir, you..."

Qing Yi wanted to say something but stopped herself, obviously frightened by Cheng Long's cruelty.

She had never thought that the young man who was so kind and gentle to others could have such a ruthless and murderous side, even though he had killed the Howling Moon Wolf King and a group of his wolf cubs with lightning speed when he saved her in his early years.

But she didn't see it with her own eyes.

It was not until this moment that Qingyi realized that Sun Wukong was not a pushover, but a person with his own code of conduct.

"Take it out."

After a pause, Cheng Long continued: "And the pot of meat on the table."

"Okay, son."

Qing Yi stepped forward decisively, cleared the lunch boxes and dishes on the table, then turned around quickly, used one hand to grab the dog demon A Bao by the scruff of the neck, and hurried out.

After being beaten back to his original form, Po no longer has any demonic power in his body, but his intelligence is still there. As long as he finds a safe place and practices in seclusion, he still has a chance to become an immortal.

However, Aunt Qing felt that Abao might not have that much time. Without his cultivation and protection, Abao was just a wild dog that could be bullied by any monster.

What's more, after Abao passed the tribulation and became an immortal, he did a lot of evil things, such as occupying the demon king's cave and stealing other people's wives and daughters.

If you were to encounter this, you would definitely die.

"Abao, this is the cave where we used to live. I have set up a restriction at the door to prevent demon kings below the Earthly Immortal Realm from breaking in. As long as you stay well, you should be able to survive."

"There's only so much I can do..."

"Take care of yourself!"

In a small cave hundreds of miles away from the Water Curtain Cave, Qingyi, a woman with a graceful, gentle and generous figure, put Abao down and rubbed Abao's furry dog ​​head.

"Aunt Qing, that Sun guy is moody, you should move out too! I'm afraid if you do something wrong one day, he'll beat you back to your original form! Why don't you... move in with me, and help each other like before."

Obviously, the latter sentence is what Po wants.

Having lost its cultivation, it cannot feel safe even if it returns to its former residence.

If it could trick Aunt Qing back from the Earthly Fairyland, then it would have every chance of cultivating to become a fairy again. However, when it came to overcoming the tribulation, it would be a little dangerous without the rejuvenation talisman bestowed by Sun Wukong.

"You want me to move back?"

Qing Yi was stunned at first, then confirmed.

"That's right, the guy surnamed Sun is a hypocrite. Look at him, he's usually so nice to me, but when I accidentally touched his red line, he turned me back to my original form without saying a word."

A Bao said indignantly: "Auntie Qing, you saw what happened just now. I gave him meat to eat. I respected him and was filial to him, but he not only didn't know how to be grateful, but also beat me up. He is so moody. It's too dangerous to stay with him."

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Qingyi's eyes. However, Abao did not notice this scene. When he saw Aunt Qing coming back to him, he became more and more excited and kept talking: "Aunt Qing, before I met the man surnamed Sun, we, Grandpa Gui, and Huayue lived together so well. After I met him, Grandpa Gui died and Huayue was sent away."

"He said he went to Guanyin Bodhisattva to practice. Who knows if he had nothing to eat on the way and roasted it as food..."

"A Bao, it seems that you hate the young master very much!"

Qing Yi slowly squatted down and reached out to stroke A Bao's dog head. A Bao, who was beaten back to his original form, seemed to enjoy it and even squinted his eyes happily.

However, the next moment, its neck was tightly grasped by Qingyi's slender hands, and breathing became extremely difficult. Po, who had just enjoyed it, began to struggle instinctively.

Unfortunately, its kicking limbs could not pose any threat to Qingyi.

"A Bao, I originally wanted to give you some relief from time to time so that you could survive in the chaotic Flower-Fruit Mountain, but you should never, ever hate me. No matter if they are human or demon, as long as they pose a threat to me, I will strangle them in the cradle..."

Click!
After Qing Yi finished speaking, he twisted off A Bao's dog head.

Maybe he was worried that Po had come back to life or was saved by some demon king, so he shot out a wisp of demonic fire and set Po's body ablaze.

……

Cheng Long, who stayed in the Water Curtain Cave, had no idea that Abao, who had a chance to rebuild his church, was forcibly taken offline by Qingyi because he hated him, and even his body was thrown away.

At this moment, he was using his spiritual sense to search the seventy-two caves in the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Soon, the Fantasy Moon Cave where the Sheep lived and the bloody scenes of several demon caves near the Fantasy Moon Cave filled with piles of corpses appeared in his mind one by one.

"There are so many human corpses. How many people did these beasts eat in just a few months?"

Cheng Long was so angry that he didn't care about anything else. He teleported out of the cave and appeared in a demon cave near the Huanyue Cave.

"who?"

A demon king who was in the Tribulation Period and was eating mutton noticed Cheng Long's figure and stood up suddenly, revealing a majestic figure like an iron tower.

His physique is indeed quite majestic, more than two meters tall, but his appearance after the transformation is really hard to describe.

Its body was covered with black hair, and on its neck was a ferocious and terrifying wild boar head with protruding fangs, and behind it was a pig's tail.

This is completely an orc, who has transformed into a lonely person.

"The person who killed you."

Cheng Long was too lazy to talk nonsense. He waved his hand and the powerful vitality in the pig monster's body turned into strands of white light and rushed towards his palm.

The pig demon's body began to shrivel at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually turned into a mummy that looked like it had been dried for a thousand years. In its hand, it was holding a piece of stew that exuded a rich meaty aroma.

Kill the leader of the bandits.

Cheng Long did not leave.

In order to put an end to the cannibalistic habits that the monsters in the Flower-Fruit Mountain have developed for unknown reasons.

Next, he killed all the dozen demon kings who had eaten humans and the thousands of little demons under their command.

For a moment, the Flower-Fruit Mountain, which stretched for thousands of miles, was shrouded in a bloody atmosphere.

This scene made all the gods in the Lingxiao Palace stunned...

"Taibai, am I seeing things? The pilgrims have just killed more than 20,000 human-eating monsters in the Flower-Fruit Mountain?" The Jade Emperor was dumbfounded and turned to look at Taibai Jinxing in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, you are the Supreme Being of the Three Realms, how could you be dazzled?"

Taibai Jinxing stroked his long beard and replied with a smile: "Sun Wukong, the immortal from the lower world, just got angry and really killed more than 20,000 little demons."

The Queen Mother beside the Jade Emperor exclaimed: "Not only that, he also devoured the vitality of these little demons."

"Doesn't this mean that after Sun Wukong comprehended the Law of Creation, he also comprehended the Law of Devouring?"

The Jade Emperor was so absorbed in marveling at the sight that he didn't even notice that Cheng Long had taken away the vitality of the little demons and was swallowing up their life essence.

Although the Golden Immortal of Daluo is already qualified to comprehend the laws of heaven, a pilgrim in the early stage of Daluo has not only comprehended the law of creation, one of the top laws, but has even comprehended the beginning of the law of devouring.

Such a terrifying comprehension ability made all the gods in the room ashamed.

Among them, the vast majority of their cultivation levels are still at the Taiyi realm, and a few are even just Golden Immortals, and there are very few Daluo Golden Immortals.

Apart from the two veteran quasi-saints, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, among the gods present, only the Barefoot Immortal, Taibai Jinxing, the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming, and the Three Officials Emperor were Daluo Golden Immortals.

Quasi-saints such as Taishang Laojun, Nanji Xianweng, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and others basically do not come to Lingxiao Palace.

After all, even Erlang Shen doesn't have to go to the Lingxiao Palace, so how can these quasi-saints participate every time? Their time is also precious, and they simply don't have the spare time.

"Maybe more!"

The Queen Mother didn't know what was going on, but every time she looked at the people seeking scriptures through the Kunlun Mirror, she would develop an inexplicable liking for Sun Wukong.

It felt like the two of them had been spending dozens or even hundreds of years together in private.

"Guanyin's plan has failed. How about we directly recruit Sun Wukong to heaven to be an official?" The Jade Emperor is now impatient to recruit Sun Wukong to heaven so that the gods of the Buddhist faction in heaven can cause trouble for those who are seeking scriptures.

Because through his observations over the past few years, he already had some understanding of Cheng Long, and he knew very well what serious consequences would occur if Li Jing, the Four Heavenly Kings, and other immortal officials of the Buddhist faction provoked him.

Who knows, a few more might die.

"It's time to invite him to heaven. Even if we don't mention this, Guanyin will come and ask us to invite the pilgrim to heaven."

Buddhism needs to help those who seek Buddhist scriptures to gain fame.

Otherwise, when the Journey to the West officially begins, Sun Wukong, the eldest disciple of Tang Monk, may not be able to control the situation.

Zhu Bajie, the former Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Troops, was the first to disagree.

And the curtain-pulling general Sha Wujing is also unwilling to be a subordinate.

"Taibai, you will go down to the mortal world and ask the pilgrim to go to heaven to receive his title."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Taibai Jinxing nodded in response.

Wait until he comes down to earth.

A group of immortals once again turned their attention to the Kunlun Mirror.

At this time, Sun Wukong, who had killed many people, had returned to the Water Curtain Cave. There was nothing interesting to see, so the Jade Emperor put away the Kunlun Mirror and discussed other matters in the Three Realms with the immortals.

The world of Journey to the West is vast and boundless. Except for Jambu Continent, there are monsters causing trouble in every continent, including the four major seas in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest.

There are many things that need to be dealt with in heaven, so it is impossible for them to gather together every day to investigate the every move of the pilgrims. (End of this chapter)
