Scaring the White Bone Demon

Eat up. Once they eat it, she can abduct Tang Sanzang.

Tang Yu inwardly sneered, already knowing her true identity.

From the shadows, Guanyin Bodhisattva watched the scene nervously.

"Master, it's not a monster, just a village girl bringing food."

Zhu Bajie looked at Bai Jingjing with a lecherous gaze.

How could such a beautiful girl be a bad person?

"Thank you, benefactor," Zhu Bajie took the basket.

Tang Yu stood up and carefully observed Bai Jingjing.

For some reason, this made Bai Jingjing feel a little nervous.

"How old are you, girl? Are you married?"

This question left Bai Jingjing stunned. Was this still a monk?

He was asking her these questions right off the bat, and this monk on the pilgrimage was even lecherously sizing her up.

This sent a shiver down Bai Jingjing's spine.

"This humble maiden is eighteen years old and unmarried."

At this point, Bai Jingjing could only brace herself and continue.

"Then what do you think of this humble monk?" Tang Yu took off his hat and touched his bald head.

"Holy monk, you jest. As a monk, how can you speak of romantic affections?"

What kind of monk was this? Wasn't he said to be a famous holy monk from the Great Tang?

So this was the kind of person who came from the Great Tang.

"Besides, this humble maiden already has someone in her heart." Bai Jingjing blurted out, "My intended is a peerless hero..."

After saying it, she felt strange herself.

How could she have said something like that?

But as long as she could get past this, it would be fine.

"Is that so?" Tang Yu sighed with regret. "San Lengzi, didn't you always tell me you wanted to eat people? Eat her. Her taste is bad, she doesn't even fancy me. Look at her delicate skin and tender flesh, she'll probably taste good, but don't eat her in front of me, it might affect my appetite later."

Everyone was stunned, and it took them a long time to react.

Was this even a monk?

He was actually encouraging his disciple to kill and eat meat.

The first to react was Sha Wujing. A large iron pot and a big cutting board appeared from him, and he held a cleaver, pointing it at a nearby rock and sharpening it a few times.

Sparks flew.

"Thank you, Master."

Sha Wujing, holding the cleaver, walked towards Bai Jingjing.

Seeing him like this, it looked like he was really going to butcher Bai Jingjing and eat her.

At this point, there was no way to hide it any longer.

Bai Jingjing transformed into a wisp of purple smoke and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Er Daizi and San Lengzi finally reacted.

So the beautiful young woman before them was actually a monster in disguise.

At the same time, the steamed buns in the basket had also turned into stones.

"It's a monster," Zhu Bajie said.

"No, it's a demoness," Tang Yu corrected his mistake.

This made his disciples confused. "What's the difference?"

"A monster is male, fierce, and burly. A demoness is female."

Oh.

There was such a distinction.

But Zhu Bajie found it strange. It was obvious that his master had seen through the woman being a demoness from the start, and telling San Lengzi to eat meat was just to scare the female demoness.

"Master, you saw she was a demoness long ago?"

"Nonsense. In this desolate wilderness, why wouldn't she be afraid, being a woman alone? And seeing how you two look, any normal person would have screamed and shouted by now. But she didn't, so I saw through her immediately. She's not human."

What nonsense analysis.

It's not like he knew the plot from the very beginning.

Of course, this was said for his two disciples, and also for anyone hidden in the shadows who couldn't be seen.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was a bit dumbfounded by Tang Yu's actions.

Hearing Tang Yu's words, they couldn't help but mutter, "When did Tang Sanzang get so smart?"

Western Heaven.

Spirit Mountain.

However, Spirit Mountain was a bit strange at the moment, with thick smoke rising, making it look ethereal and dreamlike.

Most of the Buddhas present had a cigarette in hand.

Cigarettes had already become a symbol of status on Spirit Mountain; if you couldn't afford one, you'd be looked down upon.

After smoking them themselves, they truly felt the benefits and marvelous uses of this thing.

No wonder even the Buddha was so addicted.

Why didn't they know about such a good thing before?

They had truly lived their lives in vain.

It was nothing.

Occasionally lighting one up was truly satisfying.

However, the walls of Great Thunderclap Monastery were visibly yellowing at an alarming rate.

At this moment, everyone was focused on the Mystic Light Mirror.

No one had expected such a turn of events; it had far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Without Sun Wukong having to act, Tang Sanzang had scared away the White Bone Demon himself.

As for Sun Wukong, what else was there to say? He had gone out to find more game.

The wild game near White Bone Ridge had been mostly hunted out during this period, so Sun Wukong had gone a bit further this time.

If he had returned a little earlier, and struck with his staff, at least one tribulation would have been considered barely completed.

The three tribulations of "Three Attacks on White Bone Demon."

The first battle ended in direct defeat, and the White Bone Demon had also exposed her identity. It would be difficult for her to get close to them again.

And this Tang Sanzang, why was he so smart now?

He had to admit that the analysis was spot on; in the wilderness.

What decent girl would be out wandering around?

Otherwise, it would easily arouse suspicion.

No.

This is a bit messy.

I need to light one up.

With a wave of his hand, Tathagata Buddha pulled over a nearby Buddha and rummaged through him.

Finally, he found half a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and naturally stuffed the rest into his kasaya.

Subduing Dragon Arhat looked wronged, daring to be angry but not to speak.

He had exchanged these for a large sum from Lingji Bodhisattva, and he hadn't even been willing to smoke them much himself.

When he really couldn't resist the urge to smoke, he would light up just one, and only smoke half of it each time.

But he never expected the Buddha to benefit.

Hm?

After smoking one, the Buddha suddenly had some ideas.

With a wave of his hand, some wild rabbits and pheasants appeared below in White Bone Ridge...

This way, Sun Wukong wouldn't have to go too far, giving him enough time to return.

"Silver-headed Ketu, Venerable Guanyin is still secretly following the pilgrims. You shall convey my decree: these three tribulations must be completed, at least one of them."

The Buddha spoke, holding a cigarette, somewhat helplessly.

Since the pilgrims set out on their journey to the West, the tribulations they had completed were few and far between.

It was possible they wouldn't be able to make up for it later.

Therefore, the Buddha was a bit anxious now.

One of these three tribulations had to be completed.

"As you command, Buddha."

Silver-headed Ketu received the decree and headed for the lower realm.

Returning after hunting game, Sun Wukong felt something strange; why were there so many wild chickens and rabbits?

In just this short time, White Bone Ridge had been gnawed into a barren patch of ground.

And those rabbits and other creatures were devouring at a visible speed.
