Demon-slaying at Lion Camel Ridge (34)

Meanwhile, Golden-Winged Great Peng said he wanted to send a few pounds of Buddha Flesh to his elder brother.

Ao Tu listened and thought for a moment. He realized that the Peacock, being the Mahamayuri Bodhisattva of the Western World, probably wouldn't eat such things.

However, since Golden-Winged Great Peng offered to deliver it, he didn't feel obligated to refuse; he could simply let him do it.

Ao Tu agreed and told Golden-Winged Great Peng to go back and wait. He would have someone pack the meat and bring it to him in a little while.

Golden-Winged Great Peng then went back to wait.

Ao Tu returned to the house and opened the door to find Guanyin Bodhisattva with her eyes closed, looking angry.

Ao Tu looked up and saw four plates of fine Buddha Flesh on the table, while Red Boy, who was wearing seven or eight bands from head to toe, was grinning and chanting sutras!

Ao Tu immediately realized what had happened and couldn't help but laugh.

When Red Boy saw Ao Tu return, he immediately complained:

"Your Great King! Rebellion! Rebellion! I came here to offer you the finest meat, and this Bodhisattva is bullying me like this! You must do me justice!"

Upon hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva began chanting a mantra. Red Boy immediately tensed up, stopped chanting, and began reciting scriptures again, which relieved him somewhat.

Ao Tu knew why Guanyin Bodhisattva was angry, but he deliberately remained silent. He sat to the side, picked up the chopsticks on the table, aligned them, and went to pick up the Buddha Head Meat.

Guanyin Bodhisattva quickly opened her eyes, pressed down on Ao Tu, and said, "You really want to eat it?"

Ao Tu asked, "What's wrong?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "You are Primordial Divine Saints being; this thing is of no benefit to you. Why defile your cultivation for the sake of a taste of meat?"

Ao Tu laughed and said, "I'm too lazy to cultivate anything. I've already eaten countless people! I even taught them how to steam this Buddha Flesh!"

Upon hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva leaned closer to look at Ao Tu.

Ao Tu bared his teeth and threatened her, "What are you looking at?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva examined Ao Tu closely for a long time, and only after seeing that there was not a trace of Filth air in his mouth did she feel relieved. She then angrily said, "You Demon Dragon, you never speak the truth! You've been deceiving me again!"

Ao Tu laughed and said, "I've never actually tasted Buddha Flesh before."

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "If you insist on tasting it, don't ruin your cultivation. I will cut off a piece of my flesh for you. My divine body, which I have cultivated for Infinite Kalpas, is the Great Dao the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, far superior to that turbid flesh and blood, and is not tainted by Karmic Consequences."

As she spoke, Guanyin Bodhisattva stretched out a section of her snow-white arm and raised her hand to cut.

Ao Tu quickly pressed him down, laughing, "I was just joking, why did you take it seriously, Teacher? Don't Teacher know who I am? These plates of meat are for Golden-Winged Great Peng, because he's fast on his feet, so I sent him to deliver the gift."

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled upon hearing this. She had long known Ao Tu's nature, but she was worried that Ao Tu might be misled by evil demons and go astray, which was why she had done so. Now that she heard Ao Tu say this, she felt relieved.

Ao Tu then said, "Red Boy, pack these four plates of good meat and take them to Golden-Winged Great Peng."

Upon hearing this, Red Boy, with tears in his eyes, Earthly Way aggrievedly, "Your Great King!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Tu looked over and saw that Red Boy was still chanting sutras while wearing the Golden Fillet headband.

Ao Tu reached out and pried off the several Golden Fillet, laughing, "Stop crying! Go! Go!"

Red Boy then packed the four plates of meat and gave them to Golden-Winged Great Peng.

Ao Tu put the several Golden Fillet together, transforming them into a single, complete Golden Fillet.

Guanyin Bodhisattva reached out her hand.

Ao Tu picked up her hand to examine it. He saw that her ten fingers were slender and even, and her skin was fair and smooth. He smiled and said, "Teacher, your hands are so soft and delicate. I wonder where I should begin to eat them?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva smacked Ao Tu on the forehead and said, "I told you to return the Golden Fillet to me, who told you to eat it!"

Ao Tu said, "Teacher, you truly deserve to be called Bodhisattva. Not a single word of truth comes out of your mouth. Just now you said you wouldn't let me be tainted by karmic consequences, and coaxed me into giving away the meat. Now you've gone back on your word and are just bullying this innocent and kind person like me."

Guanyin Bodhisattva was both angry and helpless. She glared at Ao Tu and said, "Are you going to give it back to me or not!"

Ao Tu laughed and said, "I'll hold this for you for now. I still have some Purple Gold on hand. I'll melt it down later, make a few Collar Bells, and use them to tame Mount."

Guanyin Bodhisattva heard that Ao Tu wanted to find Mount, she said, "Good Mount are hard to find these days. Some Ancient Times Strange Beasts are raised by Immortal Household. If you want one, I can ask for a few for you."

Ao Tu shook his head and said, "No rush, we'll meet again if fate allows. Teacher, please come with me for your meal. Don't worry, it's not that meat."

Guanyin Bodhisattva then went with Ao Tu.

On the other side, Red Boy handed the packaged Buddha Flesh to Golden-Winged Great Peng.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng caught the box, flapped its wings, and arrived at the Snow Mountain.

But then he saw that half of the majestic Snow Mountain had been cleaved away, becoming extremely steep. The Golden-Winged Great Peng landed on the peak, unprepared, thinking it would be the same as usual. Its back foot slipped, and it nearly tumbled down. It quickly regained its footing, cursing, "Hey! Who cleaved the mountain in two! I almost tripped!"

Golden-Winged Great Peng went inside and saw the Peacock. He hurried forward and asked, "Brother, who cleaved our Snow Mountain in two?"

The Peacock, with its back turned, recognized the voice as that of the Golden-Winged Great Peng and cursed, "You good-for-nothing! You're always causing trouble! They've even brought their men to our house!"

Upon hearing this, Golden-Winged Great Peng angrily exclaimed, "Who! How dare they! I'll go and eat them!"

The Peacock said, "No need. You're always causing trouble in the Lower Realm, never having a moment of peace. Did you cause trouble again today?"

Golden-Winged Great Peng hurriedly laughed and said, "No! No! How could I dare to cause trouble for you, brother? I was thinking of you in the Lower Realm, that you were cultivating on the Snow Mountain and it must be very hard for you. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to eat, so I specially brought some Buddha Flesh to offer to you."

As he spoke, Golden-Winged Great Peng opened the wooden box, inside which were four plates of Buddha Flesh arranged in four layers, and the aroma immediately spread throughout the entire Snow Mountain.

Those Snow Mountain Lotuses that never bloom for years are now opening.

Golden-Winged Great Peng laughed and said, "Brother, look, it's half fat and half lean, I carefully selected it."

The Peacock had actually smelled the strange fragrance when the Golden-Winged Great Peng came up the mountain, but he had been holding back until the Golden-Winged Great Peng opened the food box. Only then did he turn around, look at the Buddha Flesh, and say:

"Am I obligated to eat the meat you brought? Who knows where you got it from? The bruises haven't even healed; you could die and no one would even know!"

Golden-Winged Great Peng hurriedly said, "Brother, don't worry, this meat is fresh. It's from the Fifth Son of the Jing River Dragon King, the Demon Dragon Ao Tu. He captured four Buddha: Buddha Well-Praised, Yanguang Buddha Solemn Light, Jewel Light Buddha, Buddha Without Worries. I personally watched them being steamed. When they were put into the pot, those four monks were still talking!"

Upon hearing this, the Peacock coughed twice and said, "I am the Mahamayuri Bodhisattva of the Western World, how could I eat this thing!"

After hearing this, Golden-Winged Great Peng hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll take it back and eat it myself!"

The Peacock said, "You scoundrel! You actually dare to eat Buddha Flesh!" With that, it snatched the box away, saying, "I'll watch over it for you, so you don't cause any more trouble!"

On the other side, Ao Tu distributed the remaining meat to his demon subordinates.

Even if it's just the remains of Great Luo Flesh, the energy contained within is unimaginable.

Those Demon King and demon generals were only given a thin, small piece, and they dared not swallow it all at once, for fear of bursting their bellies. They could only refine it little by little.

As for the Little Demon below, Ao Tu had their tendons, bones, and skin boiled into a soup, which was then distributed among the demons.

The soup, once cooked, became thick, thawed, and translucent, bursting with aroma.

Some of the Little Demon ate them directly, while Little Demon were reluctant to eat them and sold them to merchants at high prices.

As a result, many kinds of Buddha Gelatin soon appeared in the Western Ox Continent, with high prices and difficulty in distinguishing between genuine and fake products.
