The Pit of Enlightenment, Kill Him

"My disciple wants to eat. Old man, could you do us a favor?"

Tang Yu pointed at Sun Wukong, making it clear that it wasn't him who wanted to eat, but Sun Wukong.

The old man reluctantly took his knife and went out to kill a chicken.

He only had these two chickens, and he was reluctant to eat them himself, yet he was giving them away to others.

However, this was the first time he had seen a monk eat meat.

"Amitabha, old man, you are truly kind," Tang Yu chanted a Buddhist name.

The Five Directions Guardians returned to Spirit Mountain to report. They found Tang Sanzang very strange, not at all like a monk.

They had been guarding Sun Wukong for five hundred years.

That monkey was suppressed and suffering below, and they had to accompany him.

This was the Buddhist principle of "four great emptinesses." Anyone else would have gone mad in those five hundred years.

The Golden Head Guardian said, "Buddha, Sun Wukong has been rescued by Tang Sanzang and has now set off on the Journey to the West."

"Excellent," the Buddha said with great joy.

The Journey to the West Tribulation, as long as they followed the rules and completed the journey, Buddhism would surely prosper.

Guanyin Bodhisattva turned her head and reminded him, "Buddha, you should still see what Tang Sanzang is doing."

The Buddha was puzzled why Guanyin Bodhisattva said that, but he still followed her words and waved his hand.

The Mystic Light Mirror clearly showed Tang Yu's figure.

At that moment, he was eating chicken, his mouth slick with grease.

The entire Spirit Mountain was stunned.

The pilgrim was eating meat?

He had broken his vows?

"This... My heavens, what am I seeing? The pilgrim is eating meat?"

"This must not be the pilgrim; I must be mistaken."

The Buddha looked at the Mystic Light Mirror and was also bewildered. Had his magical powers malfunctioned, causing chaos and showing strange images?

He waved his hand, and the Mystic Light Mirror disappeared.

He immediately cast the spell again.

The Mystic Light Mirror reappeared.

It was correct.

With his magical powers, there was absolutely no mistake.

The Buddhas on Spirit Mountain had not seen incorrectly either.

Tang Sanzang was indeed eating chicken.

The Buddha's face instantly darkened. He had the urge to beat Tang Sanzang to death.

"Buddha, this..."

"Let him eat," Tathagata Buddha pondered for a moment and said, "As long as he obediently comes to Spirit Mountain as planned and completes the Journey to the West Tribulation, we don't need to question anything during this period. As for these matters, we will have plenty of ways to punish him after he arrives at Spirit Mountain."

He couldn't do anything to him now. Once Tang Sanzang completed the Journey to the West Tribulation, he could do whatever he wanted to him.

However, he feared that the entire reputation of Buddhism would be ruined because of this one chicken.

As the Journey to the West began, many people were paying attention to Tang Sanzang and his companions.

The Heavenly Court!

The Jade Emperor looked at Tang Yu's figure in the Mystic Light Mirror, his eyes also filled with confusion.

Ten lifetimes of cultivation, ten lifetimes of being a good person, yet he had broken his vows at this moment.

He was eating the chicken with his mouth wide open, savoring its deliciousness.

"Jade Emperor, this Tang Sanzang..." Taibai Jinxing seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment and then smiled, "It's fine."

The Journey to the West Tribulation, Buddhism wanted to use this tribulation to gain destiny and make Buddhism prosper?

But he, the Jade Emperor, was not to be trifled with. He couldn't stop the Journey to the West Tribulation.

Therefore, he had already reached some level of cooperation with Buddhism. Even from the time Golden Cicada was banished to the mortal world to undergo trials, then Sun Wukong was born, caused havoc in heaven, and was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain, every step was within their calculations.

If possible, the Jade Emperor certainly did not want Buddhism to prosper.

But in this grand scheme, there were still Sages behind the scenes whom he couldn't afford to offend.

Don't look at his temporary cooperation with Buddhism; it was all for his own consideration and for the Heavenly Court.

If Buddhism prospered, he would also gain a considerable amount of destiny for no reason.

Even if Buddhism declined, it wouldn't affect him much.

The Journey to the West Tribulation, no matter how it ends, whether it's completed or not, won't result in any loss for him.

In fact, he might even gain quite a bit.

This was the art of rulership; the Jade Emperor had long seen through all the benefits involved.

As for Tang Sanzang, as long as he didn't go too far, no one would do anything to him. If he were in danger, they would even have to protect him in secret.

Of course, the tribulations of the Journey to the West had already been arranged.

Danger? It simply didn't exist.

Tang Sanzang wiped his mouth, took something out of his clothes, put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a puff, looking utterly content.

Seeing the old man looking at him expectantly, he seemed to feel a bit embarrassed. After all, he'd eaten one of the man's chickens. He then took out a cigarette and offered it, "Old man, have a cigarette."

The old man repeatedly waved his hands, appearing a bit fearful of the smoking object.

"Wukong, let's just rest here for the night, alright? We'll talk about it after we wake up tomorrow." Tang Yu glanced at the chickens in the yard, licked his lips, and looked as if he hadn't had his fill.

"Master, your disciple Old Sun will listen to you."

The old man by the side trembled slightly, looking at the master and disciple, clearly realizing they had set their sights on his chickens.

Damn it, what kind of monks are these?

Tang Yu lay on the bed, lost in thought. Earning Destiny Points was the most important thing right now.

He now had a Human Immortal card, and could step into the Human Immortal realm at any time.

But he didn't dare.

Because Tang Yu understood very well that there were quite a few people paying attention to him during this Journey to the West Tribulation.

There were even some powerful beings.

If he rashly entered the Human Immortal realm, he would definitely be detected by them.

After pondering for a moment, Tang Yu temporarily abandoned the idea of using the Human Immortal card.

After all, he himself wouldn't be in any danger.

Because those scoundrels from the Buddhist Sect wouldn't just watch him die.

As for these messy tribulations, they were just going through the motions.

And then there was the whole thing about eating Tang Monk's flesh to achieve immortality.

Nonsense.

Those demons had already cultivated into human form, would they still care about that?

Besides, many of them were mounts belonging to Bodhisattvas and Immortals.

How could they die?

If they don't die, they'll find a way to make them die, let them mess around in the mortal realm, that's how it'll be decided.

The Daoist Sect can be spared, but as for the Buddhist Sect, crush them to death.

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, there was a commotion outside.

He quickly tried to recall the plot. It should be a group of mountain bandits.

Just as he expected, a group of mountain bandits, brandishing gleaming knives, charged in.

They looked ferocious.

"Haha, old man, hand over all the valuables in your house, or I'll kill you!" The bandit leader glared at the old man with bloodthirsty eyes.

Tang Yu was contemplating how the plot would unfold next.

How to earn Destiny Points and such. Being suddenly interrupted, he couldn't help but get a little angry.

Tang Yu was very angry, and the consequences would be severe.

"You bald donkey, what are you looking at? Got anything valuable to hand over?"

The bandit leader noticed Tang Yu and waved his knife at him, the threat implicit.

Damn it.

You think you can get away with this?

Who are you calling a bald donkey?

Tang Yu waved at Sun Wukong, "Wukong, kill them."

After saying that, he nonchalantly lay back on the bed, looking completely unconcerned.
