Tang Yu no longer cared about what happened to Little White Dragon.
He rode a donkey, but it was uncomfortable no matter how he sat on it.
When he found a suitable opportunity, he'd kill it and eat its meat.
Although he had exchanged for the Heavenly Secrets Concealment Formation, Tang Yu hadn't directly used the Human Immortal Talisman to advance himself to the Human Immortal realm.
He planned to find a suitable opportunity, preferably a quiet one, to break through stealthily.
He'd lie low for now.
While lost in these thoughts, a temple appeared before him.
The temple was lavishly decorated, resplendent with gold. Especially the plaque, on which the four characters "Guanyin Monastery" were clearly crafted from pure gold.
He had arrived at Guanyin Monastery. Thinking about it, according to the plot, this was indeed the right place.
The old bald donkey inside coveted his kasaya and then set the place on fire.
Heh, Tang Yu sneered. You'd better behave, or I'll put the Golden Fillet on your head and make you scream in pain.
He only thought about it; using the Golden Fillet on such an old bald donkey felt like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
"Wukong, let's ask for lodging here for the night." Tang Yu dismounted the donkey.
Sun Wukong hurried to knock on the door. When it opened, a monk shouted, "Monster!" and the door slammed shut.
"Stand aside, let your master handle this." Tang Yu swaggered up and knocked. "I'm a monk heading to the Western Heaven, open the door."
A monk heading to the Western Heaven?
Some people in the temple found this statement rather strange.
The old abbot chanted "Amitabha," asked his disciples what was happening, and then opened the door. "Amitabha, this old monk is the abbot of Guanyin Monastery, Jin Chi. Please, come in, please."
He felt a bit strange. Was this really a monk?
There was a monkey with a hairy face and a thunder-god's mouth, and a donkey.
The clean-shaven monk who knocked seemed more presentable, but he showed no signs of being a monk at all.
"Very good." Tang Yu patted his shoulder. "Get me something to eat, meat. I'll give you something good later."
He planned to give the kasaya away directly, he didn't want it anymore.
What use did he have for such a useless thing?
Trading it for a good meal, why not?
Eat what? Eat meat?
Monk Jin Chi and the monks below suspected they had misheard and remained motionless.
Seeing they weren't moving, Tang Yu directly took out the kasaya.
Jin Chi's eyes immediately lit up. He had several valuable kasayas, but compared to the one in Tang Yu's hand, they were worlds apart.
"Venerable Monk, this... this..." Abbot Jin Chi stammered.
"This is mine." Tang Yu put it away. "Want it? Get me something to eat, and I'll give it to you. Get some meat, pork knuckles, chicken, that sort of thing, bring it up."
Abbot Jin Chi didn't move. He found it hard to believe that he would get the kasaya for just one meal.
After some thought, 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 the Buddha himself.
According to their plan, Jin Chi would covet Tang Yu's kasaya, and then set Guanyin Monastery on fire.
This trial would be completed.
But no one expected Tang Yu to proactively take out the kasaya, just for a meat meal.
In that case, this trial was likely ruined.
It wasn't just this trial; problems also arose later, a chain reaction.
If the kasaya was handed over directly, the subsequent Buddha's Robe Ceremony wouldn't be able to proceed.
"What the hell is going on?" Tathagata roared, then immediately felt his words were inappropriate. How could he curse? He quickly recited Buddhist phrases: "Amitabha, Amitabha."
Who was he asking?
All the Buddhas were collectively bewildered. If the Buddha himself didn't know, how could his subordinates?
Guanyin Bodhisattva's body trembled slightly. She didn't even need to look at the Mystic Light Mirror; with a thought, she knew what Tang Yu was doing.
After all, Guanyin Monastery belonged to her temple.
She could naturally feel everything that was happening.
At this moment, Jin Chi had prepared a table full of dishes, all meat.
He stood by, serving them like a grand eunuch.
Seeing his impatient look, Tang Yu tossed the kasaya to him. "Take it, take it."
Jin Chi looked at it in disbelief. This meal had really earned him such a precious kasaya.
Clutching the valuable kasaya in his hand, he was afraid Tang Yu would go back on his word, and quickly walked away.
He returned to his meditation room, tried it on, and showed off in every way.
Guanyin Bodhisattva's body trembled slightly again. The precious kasaya she had given him was just discarded by him, exchanged for a meal of meat and wine.
"Buddha, can we kill the pilgrim and start over?" Guanyin Bodhisattva suggested, "I feel this Tang Sanzang has serious problems."
Tathagata gave her a look. The Journey to the West Tribulation had already begun.
And it was the final life.
Killing Tang Sanzang was out of the question.
Right now, he couldn't afford to let anyone die but him.
As for Guanyin Bodhisattva saying Tang Sanzang had problems, he had noticed it too.
Could it be that the variable was Tang Sanzang?
Impossible. If he were the variable, he would definitely hide himself, not be so conspicuous.
It seemed the variable was still hidden behind the scenes.
As for Tang Sanzang's problems, it was obvious that the variable had changed him, or perhaps he had been actively pushed forward by the variable to make everyone mistakenly believe he was the variable.
Tathagata Buddha pondered this.
He thought he was very clever and that this was likely the case.
Fortunately, Tang Yu didn't know his thoughts, or he would have burst out laughing.
As expected of the big boss of the Western Heaven, he had directly ruled out the target.
"But, Buddha, how will the tribulation of burning down Guanyin Monastery and the Buddha's Robe Assembly proceed next?" Guanyin asked.
Tang Sanzang had directly given the kasaya to Jin Chi.
Jin Chi probably wouldn't be so idle as to burn down his own monastery, right?
"This..." This made the Buddha hesitate.
After a moment of thought, the Buddha finally said, "It would be best if the tribulation could proceed. If not, we'll make it up later."
There were so many tribulations later on.
They could always add another one to make up for it, so this small matter wasn't a problem.
"As for the Buddha's Robe Assembly later, it will proceed as usual. This will require Venerable Guanyin's effort," Tathagata said.
Proceed as usual?
How could that be done?
Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned. The Buddha's robe was now in Jin Chi's hands.
However, she still had to make a trip, as the Black Bear Spirit needed to be brought back to Mount Putuo of the South Sea.
At this moment, all the Buddhas looked up at the Mystic Light Mirror.
With food, how could there be no wine?
Tang Yu used fifty Destiny Points to exchange for a bottle of wine from the System.
Thus, everyone saw him take out a glass bottle filled with liquid.
On the bottle, there were five conspicuous large characters.
