Erguotou Baijiu

As for what had happened to Little White Dragon, Tang Yu no longer cared at all.

He rode the donkey, but no matter how he rode it, it was uncomfortable.

Once he found a suitable opportunity, he would kill the bastard and eat its meat.

Although he had exchanged for the Heavenly Secrets Concealment Formation, Tang Yu did not immediately use the Human Immortal Talisman to advance into the Human Immortal Realm.

He planned to find a suitable opportunity—preferably somewhere quiet—to break through in secret.

For now, he would keep a low profile.

As he indulged in these random thoughts, a temple appeared ahead.

The temple was lavishly decorated and glittering with gold. Especially the four large characters on its plaque—Guanyin Monastery—which were clearly forged from pure gold.

He had actually arrived at Guanyin Monastery. Thinking about the plot, it made sense that he should have come here by now.

The old bald donkey inside would covet his cassock, then set fire to the place.

Tang Yu sneered. You'd better behave yourself. Otherwise, I'll put the Golden Fillet on your head and torture you to death.

But on second thought, using the Golden Fillet against some old bald donkey was rather excessive.

"Wukong, let's stay here for the night." Tang Yu swung himself down from the donkey.

Sun Wukong hurried over and knocked on the door. When it opened, a monk cried out, "A monster!" Then, with a bang, the door was slammed shut.

"Stand aside. Let your master handle this." Tang Yu swaggered up and knocked on the door. "I'm a monk taking a stroll to Western Heaven. Open up."

A monk taking a stroll to Western Heaven?

The people inside the monastery found those words rather strange.

The old abbot recited, "Amitabha," then asked his disciples what had happened. He opened the door and said, "Amitabha. This old monk is Jin Chi, abbot of Guanyin Monastery. Please, come in. Please."

He felt rather strange inside. Was this fellow really a monk?

There was a monkey with a furry face and thunder-god beak, as well as a donkey.

Only the fair and clean-looking monk who had knocked on the door seemed somewhat pleasing to the eye, yet there was not the slightest trace of a monk about him.

"Very good." Tang Yu patted his shoulder. "Get me something to eat. Meat. Later, I'll give you something good."

He intended to give away the cassock outright. He did not want it anymore.

It was useless junk, and he had no use for it anyway.

Why not trade it for a good meal?

Eat what? Meat?

Holy Monk Jin Chi and the monks below all suspected they had misheard him and stood motionless.

Seeing that they did not move, Tang Yu directly took out the cassock.

Elder Jin Chi's eyes immediately lit up. He also owned several valuable cassocks, but compared with the one in Tang Yu's hand, they were as different as heaven and earth.

"Holy Monk, this... this..." Elder Jin Chi even began to stammer.

"This is mine." Tang Yu put it away. "Want it? Get me something to eat, and I'll give it to you. Bring out some meat, pork elbows, chicken, whatever you've got."

Elder Jin Chi did not move. He found it hard to believe that a single meal could earn him the cassock.

After thinking it over, he gritted his teeth and ordered his disciples to go down the mountain to buy food.

Western Heaven.

Great Thunderclap Monastery.

All the Buddhas were stunned by Tang Yu's actions, including Buddha himself.

According to their plan, Jin Chi would covet Tang Yu's cassock and then burn down Guanyin Monastery.

That ordeal would then be completed.

But no one had expected Tang Yu to take out the cassock of his own accord, merely to trade it for a meat dish.

If that was the case, this ordeal was screwed.

And it was not just this ordeal. Problems would arise later as well; it was a chain reaction.

If he handed over the cassock directly, the later Buddhist Robe Assembly seemed unable to proceed either.

"What the hell is going on?" Tathagata roared. Then he realized his words were inappropriate. How could he use profanity? He hurriedly recited two Buddhist invocations. "Amitabha. Amitabha."

Who was he asking?

All the Buddhas were dumbfounded. He was Buddha; if even he did not know the answer, how could these underlings possibly know?

Guanyin Bodhisattva's body trembled faintly. She did not even need to look into the Mystic Light Mirror; with a mere thought, she knew what Tang Yu was doing.

After all, Guanyin Monastery belonged to her.

Naturally, she could clearly sense everything that was happening.

At that moment, Jin Chi had already prepared a whole table of food, all meat.

Like a chief eunuch, he stood at the side and waited on him.

Seeing how impatient he was, Tang Yu directly tossed the cassock to him. "Take it. Take it."

Jin Chi looked utterly incredulous. A single meal had really earned him such a precious cassock.

Caressing the precious cassock in his hands, he feared Tang Yu might change his mind and quickly walked out.

Returning to his meditation room, he tried it on and flaunted it in every possible way.

Guanyin Bodhisattva's body trembled faintly again. The precious cassock she had given him had been cast aside just like that in exchange for a meat meal.

"Buddha, can we beat the scripture pilgrim to death and start over?" Guanyin Bodhisattva proposed. "I feel that this Tang Sanzang has a serious problem."

Tathagata rolled his eyes at her. The Journey to the West Tribulation had already begun.

Moreover, this was the final lifetime.

Kill Tang Sanzang? What a joke.

At this point, anyone could die except him.

As for Guanyin Bodhisattva saying Tang Sanzang had a problem, he had noticed it as well.

Could the variable be Tang Sanzang?

Impossible. If he were the variable, he would definitely hide himself rather than act so ostentatiously.

It seemed the variable was still hiding behind the scenes.

As for Tang Sanzang's problem, it was obvious that the variable had changed him. Of course, it was also possible that the variable had deliberately pushed him forward, making everyone mistake him for the variable.

Tathagata Buddha thought this to himself.

He considered himself quite clever. That was very likely the case.

Fortunately, Tang Yu did not know what he was thinking. Otherwise, he would definitely have burst out laughing.

As expected of Western Heaven's top boss—he had directly ruled out the target.

"But, Buddha, how should the ordeals of burning Guanyin Monastery and the Buddhist Robe Assembly proceed?" Guanyin asked.

This Tang Sanzang had directly given the cassock to Jin Chi.

Jin Chi probably was not bored enough to burn down his own monastery, was he?

"This..." Buddha found himself in a difficult position.

After pondering for a moment, Buddha finally said, "It would be best if this ordeal can continue. If not, make it up later."

There were still so many ordeals ahead.

They could simply add another ordeal later to make up for it, so this minor matter was not a problem.

"As for the Buddhist Robe Assembly later, it will proceed as usual. That will require Venerable Guanyin's effort." Tathagata said.

Proceed as usual?

How was that supposed to work?

Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned. The Buddhist robe was already in Jin Chi's hands.

Still, she would certainly have to make a trip there, because she needed to bring the Black Bear Spirit back to Mount Putuo of the South Sea.

At that moment, all the Buddhas raised their heads and looked toward the Mystic Light Mirror.

With food, how could there be no alcohol?

Tang Yu spent fifty Destiny Points to exchange for a bottle of liquor from the system.

Thus, everyone saw him take out a glass bottle filled with liquid.

On the bottle were five eye-catching characters.
