"Brother, it's bad, Master has been dragged underground by a monster!"

Sha Seng's eyes were wide open with anger, and he slammed the crescent shovel towards the ground, but apart from raising a lot of dust, it had no effect at all.

Perhaps the powerful impact could injure a few little demons, but the fact that Tang Seng was captured was already a fact. How could he not be angry when his master was captured right under his nose?

"Lao Sha, how do you do things?" Bajie said angrily, "Watch the luggage here! Escape underground!"

In the blink of an eye, Bajie's figure disappeared from the ground.

His reaction was not slow, but he was unfamiliar with the place and accidentally went in the wrong direction. In the end, he had to rely on his pig nose to smell the breath of the little demon and finally find the right direction.

Boom!
A ray of light flashed, and then Bajie came out from the ground with his head covered.

The Lion Camel Cave is the home of the three demons: the Green Lion, the White Elephant, and the Golden-winged Peng Bird. It is impossible that there are no restrictions in the Lion Camel Cave. It is simply wishful thinking to want to rely on the art of escaping underground to enter the Lion Camel Cave.

Forced to come out of the ground, Bajie was exposed to the eyes of the monsters in an instant. However, after seeing Bajie's appearance clearly, many little monsters showed puzzled expressions.

"Hey, where did this pig demon come from? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"So ugly! This pig demon is uglier than me..."

"Who says it isn't? It looks disgusting with a big pig's head."

Bajie, a man with a pig's brain, was not out of place at all when he mixed in with the monsters. The gatekeeper monster only felt that the other party looked unfamiliar and did not show any obvious hostility.

"hateful!"

When Bajie heard the little demons' discussions, he almost fainted from anger.

These little monsters in front of me are all weird in shape, and most of them don’t look like human beings. I at least have a human form, but I have a pig nose and a pair of pig ears. Overall, I look no different from a human. How can I be uglier than them?

Zhu Bajie, who was extremely angry, picked up the nine-toothed rake in his hand without hesitation and clawed at the monsters who were pointing at him.

The little demons who were gathered in front of the door and talking about something were suddenly dumbfounded.

They never dreamed that just a few laughs would bring them fatal disasters and they could lose their lives if they were not careful.

With this strike of the spiked rake, Bajie killed seven or eight little demons. By the time the other little demons had reacted and sounded the gong to warn them, almost all the little demons who had just criticized Bajie for being ugly were killed by him.

……

The time goes back to a quarter of an hour ago.

Cheng Long, who had sneaked into the Lion Cave at some point, walked timidly into a room with the ugly appearance of a small whirlwind, and came to the big boss and the second boss, reporting: "Big boss, second boss, I was patrolling at the foot of the mountain just now, and suddenly found a treasure flashing with colorful light. I went forward to take a closer look. Guess what?"

"What's going on?" The Green Lion Demon, the leader of Lion Camel Ridge, asked curiously.

"Hey~~ That seven-colored divine light actually got into my head and allowed me to learn a magical skill! This skill is called "Devouring the Heavenly Devil Skill". It is against the harmony of nature and is a fatal magic skill. It can...devour the essence of others in an instant!"

The words have not yet fallen.

Cheng Long suddenly stretched out his hands, and two terrifying suction forces instantly surged out from his palms. The unsuspecting Green Lion Spirit and White Elephant Spirit were instantly immobilized by a terrifying restriction.

The next moment, rays of blood-red light overflowed from the Green Lion and White Elephant monsters and rushed towards Cheng Long's palms.

The two demons' strong bodies began to shrivele little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, in just a few breaths, the notorious Green Lion Demon and White Elephant Demon were completely devoured by Cheng Long.

Ever since he started learning the law of devouring, Cheng Long no longer needs the bloodthirsty bead to devour the essence of living beings.

The Bloodthirsty Pearl, which was a acquired top-grade spiritual treasure, was of no help to a Golden Immortal like him, and had already been swallowed by Cheng Long himself.

Although the Bloodthirsty Pearl is an acquired spiritual treasure, its origin contains a trace of the Devouring Law. Devouring the Bloodthirsty Pearl's origin helped Cheng Long comprehend the Devouring Law...

boom!
A flash of fire appeared, and the green lion demon and the white elephant, which had turned into mummies, were burned to ashes on the spot by the divine fire.

"The three demons of Lion Camel Ridge have been killed, only the Golden Winged Dapeng Bird is missing!"

"But we need to act quickly. Manjusri and Samantabhadra are both quasi-saints. I think they have already noticed that their mounts have fallen. We must kill the Golden Winged Dapeng before the Buddhist sect can react..."

Thinking of this, Cheng Long transformed himself into a green lion spirit and walked out of the room with a swagger.

It didn't take long.

A pangolin with the power of a celestial being pushed the pale-faced Tang Monk and walked in happily from outside the cave.

"My lord, look who I have captured?"

The pangolin, who had a certain status in Lion Camel Ridge, saw Cheng Long transformed into a green lion spirit, and immediately stepped forward triumphantly and said: "It is said that if you eat a bite of the meat of the monk from the Tang Dynasty in the East, you can achieve immortality. Although you, my king, have already achieved immortality, eating him can still improve your cultivation..."

"Hahaha, okay, okay, I was just about to send someone to capture Tang Xuanzang, but I didn't expect you to capture Tang Seng as a reward!" Cheng Long "excitedly" patted the pangolin's shoulder, but he was cursing in his heart, thinking that the two Taiyi Golden Immortals, Bajie and Sha Seng, couldn't even keep an eye on a monk.

If there was no one to help him on his journey to the West, Tang Seng would have died countless times.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The pangolin's face lit up with joy and he thanked repeatedly.

At this time, Cheng Long waved his hand and ordered: "Lock this monk in the dungeon, and then go and call your three kings back. We will eat Tang Monk's flesh tonight, and then we will reward you with an arm."

"Thank you, my king. I will go and inform the three kings right away."

The pangolin bowed and nodded as he sent Tang Seng into the dungeon, and then left the Lion Cave without stopping.

Boom!

Almost at the same time.

There was a loud noise outside the cave, and after a while of shaking, a voice was heard shouting, "Listen to me, old pig, monster in the cave, send my master out alive quickly, or I will not be polite."

"Report!"

A little demon crawled and screamed as he ran in, shouting, "Your Majesty, there's a pig demon outside the cave. That pig demon is terrible. It killed many of our brothers. Now it's blocking the door and yelling for Tang Monk..."

"Come on, follow me out to meet him!"

Cheng Long led a group of evil-looking people out of the cave. It was dark and the evil spirit rose into the sky. Such a terrifying scene scared Zhu Bajie who was challenging them.

"You are the ones who captured my master? Return my master to me quickly..." Bajie tightened the nine-toothed rake in his hand. He would rather lose the battle than the opponent. He had to win the fight no matter how cowardly he was.

Maybe the demon king in front of him is just good looking but useless!

It is true that a lion is more ferocious than a pig, but after becoming spirits, who is stronger and who is weaker depends on their background. With useful magical powers, even a carp spirit can kill the Dragon King of the Sea in seconds.

"Zhu Bajie, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of me? Do you believe that once I capture you, I will cook you first and give you as a reward to my brothers?" Cheng Longhu's eyes widened as he threatened with interest.

"..." Bajie's heart tightened. This green-faced, green-haired demon king in front of him had heard of his name, but he dared to face him so calmly. He must have some support!
A little silence.

Bajie pretended to be calm and said in a pretentious manner: "Since you know me, Old Pig, then you should know how powerful the Monkey King is. If you hand over my master now, I will forgive you. Otherwise, when Big Brother Sun comes, you won't be as easy to talk to as I am."

"Hahaha, Zhu Bajie, are you talking about the little mountain god who was banished to the mortal world five hundred years ago? What can he do if he comes? Do you think I'm afraid of him?"

Cheng Long did not cause a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace. He merely killed two immortal officials in the Heavenly Palace and was then demoted to the mortal world. In terms of reputation, his reputation is not as great as that of Sun Wukong in the original drama.

But those who really know the inside story understand that he was a Daluo Jinxian five hundred years ago, and his flower had reached the tenth level.

Even if he is not a quasi-saint now, he is not far from it.

Any monster who dares to belittle him either really has something to rely on or is just a fake.

"hateful!"

Zhu Bajie swung the rake and smashed it towards Cheng Long.

Cheng Long raised the corner of his mouth slightly, raised the Green Lion Demon's golden ring knife, rolled up the sword energy in the sky, and "fought" with Zhu Bajie.

Perhaps wanting to teach the other party a lesson, Cheng Long acted very fiercely. In a few seconds, he knocked Zhu Bajie down from mid-air.

The demons below immediately rushed forward and tied up Bajie, whose magic power had been sealed.

"Young men, prepare some hot water and use it to burn the hair on this pig. Remember to shave it clean, but don't rush to gut it. I'm afraid that if my third brother comes back too late, the meat will go bad."

"Yes, my lord. I will go and boil some water."

"The little one is going to collect firewood."

With Cheng Long's shout, the surrounding monsters were instantly mobilized. Some were boiling water, some were collecting firewood, and some even took the initiative to go hunting nearby.

Come to think of it, when we have a feast to eat Tang Monk's flesh in the evening, there are so many monsters in Lion Camel Ridge that even if we count Bajie, there won't be enough to go around. If we don't prepare more meat, we won't be able to have the feast at all.

Time passes slowly.

Soon it was evening. The little demons boiled a large pot of hot water, immediately ran into the dungeon, carried Zhu Bajie out, and threw him into a wooden barrel full of hot water without caring about anything.

"Hot, hot, hot... I'm going to be cooked!"

Bajie yelled hysterically at the top of his lungs.

This was not the first time that a monster had thrown him into a hot pot and had his fur scalded, but in the past it was just an act and the water temperature was not particularly high. This time, he felt that his fur was about to be scalded as soon as he entered the water.

"Where is Brother Sun? Why is there no movement?" Feeling his life was threatened, Bajie couldn't help but start to worry.

He definitely cannot rely on Junior Brother Sha, as even the master can't keep him under guard. Now if he wants to be rescued, he can only place his hopes on Sun Wukong.

Just like many times before, Brother Sun would appear in time to rescue the master from times of danger.

……

Mount Wutai.

Manjushri Bodhisattva, one of the four great Bodhisattvas, sensed that the soul lamp of his mount, the green lion, was extinguished. After closing his eyes and calculating, he learned that when Tang Monk and his party arrived at the Lion Camel Ridge, the green lion and the white elephant died in the disaster. His expression became quite interesting.

"How did Sun Wukong get the ability to kill the blue lion and the white elephant so quietly?"

This is the most difficult point to understand about Manjushri Bodhisattva.

The mounts of him and Samantabhadra are both demons in the Daluo realm. They were once immortals of the Jiejiao sect. Even if they are now in decline, they cannot be killed instantly by Sun Wukong, who is also in the Daluo realm.

As long as his life is not wiped out in an instant, he and Puxian should be able to sense the movements on the Lion Camel Ridge.

But in fact, he and Puxian waited until the soul lamps of the blue lion and the white elephant were extinguished before they figured out what had happened in the Lion Cave.

"Not good~~"

Suddenly, Manjushri Bodhisattva felt a sinking feeling in his heart, and then he stepped into the void, walking on the lotus ground step by step to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West.

At the same time as he arrived at Lingshan, Samantabhadra also flew into the Main Hall in a hurry.

On the lotus platform, Tathagata, holding a flower in his hands, looked at the two Bodhisattvas who were rushing to Lingshan Mountain and asked curiously, "Manjusri and Samantabhadra, why are you two so hurried?"

Manjusri and Samantabhadra looked at each other and said, "Report to the Buddha, Sun Wukong has gone mad. He not only killed the blue lion and the white elephant, but also wanted to kill the Golden Winged Dapeng King..."

"Is there such a thing?"

Tathagata counted with his fingers and his face changed drastically in an instant.

Because at the moment when he was calculating with his fingers, his uncle the golden-winged Peng bird had already fallen into the deadly hands.

After receiving the message from the little demon, the golden-winged Roc came back to enjoy Tang Monk's flesh, but was caught by the "Green Lion" that suddenly jumped up. It was refined in an instant and turned into a specimen of Roc, losing its life instantly.

Manjushri Bodhisattva and a group of Bodhisattvas and Arhats in the Main Hall saw Tathagata's face change drastically on the lotus platform. They all counted with their fingers and learned that the Golden Winged Dapeng King had also suffered the calamity. They instantly fell silent.

For a moment, the main hall was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.

After a long time.

After trying to regain his composure, the distraught Tathagata exclaimed, "Sun Wukong is so well hidden! He was able to refine the Golden Winged Dapeng King in the Daluo realm in an instant, which shows that he has already understood the law of devouring."

"Doesn't that mean that Sun Wukong is now a quasi-saint?"

As soon as Manjushri Bodhisattva said this, the entire Great Hall fell silent. Yes, without the cultivation of a quasi-saint, even if one relied on cleverness and stratagems, it would be impossible to refine the golden-winged Roc, the blue lion and the white elephant in an instant.

These three are all Golden Immortals. Even if they are attacked by surprise, they will not lose the ability to resist.

The only clear explanation is that the gap between the two realms is too great.

If Old Six, who has the cultivation level of a quasi-saint, cannot instantly kill a Daluo Jinxian with a sneak attack, then why bother disguising himself as a villain?

"Yes, Sun Wukong is now a quasi-saint."

The Buddha nodded with a smile. Although his "uncle" had just died, the Garuda was only an uncle in name, not a biological uncle.

On the contrary, using the three demon kings, the golden-winged Peng bird, the blue lion, and the white elephant, to test out Sun Wukong's true cultivation level would be more beneficial to Buddhism.

Because this means that when the Journey to the West is successfully completed, Buddhism will have another quasi-saint!
The value of a quasi-saint cannot be compared to that of a hundred Daluo Jinxians.

Especially since Sun Wukong has only practiced for more than 500 years, he has already reached the level of a quasi-saint. When he completes the journey to the West and gains more merits, his level of practice will surely reach a higher level.

By then, Sun Wukong would no longer be a newly promoted Quasi-Sage, but a mainstay of the mid-stage Quasi-Sage. As long as he was given enough time, reaching the peak of Quasi-Sage would be a piece of cake. (End of this chapter)
