"Red Boy?"

Tan Wenjie looked at the little kid in front of him wearing a bib.

As the only son of the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan, his talent goes without saying. The fact that he was chosen by Guanyin Bodhisattva to be her attendant is enough to demonstrate his extraordinary nature.

In terms of personal image, it is quite similar to Nezha.

He had also crossed paths with Red Boy, but not the Red Boy of this world, but the one from the Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons world, whose skills were mediocre.

A black bear spirit obtained the golden headband from Guanyin Bodhisattva. If the future Sudhana is sent to Mount Putuo, he will surely be able to get the headband.

The Buddha gave the Bodhisattva three headbands: the golden one, the tight one, and the restraining one. However, only Sun Wukong used the tight one. The golden headband is now in Tan Wenjie's hands, and the restraining one is still left.

“Old Niu, I can find a better place for your son.”

"Oh my, Your Majesty, I, Old Bull, came to you precisely because I was afraid of going down that path." Bull Demon King immediately moved closer to Tan Wenjie. "I've read that book too. How can any parent bear to let their child become a monk and eat vegetarian food every day?"

Red Boy remained silent, simply watching Tan Wenjie.

Unlike the original story, the Flaming Mountain was not occupied by Princess Iron Fan, so Red Boy dared not use the fire to cultivate the Samadhi True Fire. Moreover, he had been told since childhood that he must never provoke Tan Wenjie, so Red Boy behaved very obediently in front of Tan Wenjie.

"I never take on apprentices."

Old Niu had a long-term vision. Getting on Tan Wenjie's ship was equivalent to being bound to the Jade Void Palace. Tan Wenjie was a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, and his disciples were fourth-generation disciples.

"Then let him serve you tea and water, act as your benefactor. Oh, and I'll pay the tuition!"

After a trip to the 21st century, Lao Niu learned a lot of new words.

"Old Niu, you..."

Tan Wenjie finally relented and said, "Let him stay and study with us. How much he learns depends on his own comprehension."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Bull Demon King reached out and pressed Red Boy's head down, making him kneel and kowtow. "Hurry up and kowtow to Your Majesty."

Red Boy was forced to kowtow once, and then said, "My father always said that you have great magical powers."

"What, you want to give it a try?" Tan Wenjie asked casually.

The Five Elements Chariot was originally Red Boy's toy, and was considered a strange and ingenious trick. Now that Tan Wenjie has kept it, he might have unexpected gains.

Unexpectedly, Red Boy said something surprising: "Can you teach me how to beat my father?"

"Hey, you brat!" the Bull Demon King roared, "You've gone too far!"

He hasn't left yet.

"Kowtowing three times, I'll teach you the Samadhi True Fire," Tan Wenjie said. "As long as you can learn the skills I teach you, I can teach you anything you want to learn."

"You can teach someone with three heads and six arms?"

"I can teach."

"What about the seventy-two transformations?"

"You know that too?" Tan Wenjie was somewhat surprised.

He, Yang Jian, and Sun Wukong all practiced the Seventy-Two Transformations, a skill that only "protagonists" in this world could learn. The other two were born with the destiny of protagonists, while he relied on the system's cheat codes.

The Bull Demon King, seemingly eager to show off, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it was me who said that children love to listen to stories when they are young, and all the stories I tell are yours."

Under Red Boy's gaze, Tan Wenjie nodded: "I can teach."

After receiving many promises, Red Boy knelt down and kowtowed three times.

"From now on, I, the old bull, will follow the Emperor's lead!" The Bull Demon King seized the opportunity to clasp his hands in a fist salute and said.

Compared to snatching Sudhana from Guanyin Bodhisattva, the surrender of the Bull Demon King, who is currently powerful enough to dominate a region, is the greatest gain.

From then on, Tan Wenjie's control over Xiniu Hezhou reached an unprecedented level, far surpassing that of the Heavenly Court.

"Come, sit down and have some tea." Tan Wenjie said with a smile. "There's no rush to leave, let's have a meal together."

Princess Wansheng and Princess Yumian greeted the guests as they served the dishes.

The Bull Demon King glanced at the Jade-Faced Princess. According to the plot of "Journey to the West," the Jade-Faced Fox Spirit should be his concubine. Then the Bull Demon King looked away and sat up straight.

Unlike those hypocritical gods, this one is notoriously petty.

During the banquet, Tan Wenjie casually remarked, "When Tang Sanzang went on his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, all the major demons along the way were eliminated, but the minor demons scattered and fled, causing a great impact on the lives of mortals."

The Bull Demon King immediately understood and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'll set up a company as soon as I get back and bring all those little monsters together."

He was a boss in the 21st century and is already very skilled at running a company.

The vocational school for immortals still has its requirements, but the magic power of those little demons on the journey to the West is quite ordinary. However, if we really release the little demons, the harm caused will be far greater than releasing a tiger back into the mountains.

It would be best if the Bull Demon King could gather this force together. Although they are all low-level demons with poor strength and aptitude, quantitative change can lead to qualitative change. If all the little demons on the entire Journey to the West are gathered together, they will become a force that cannot be ignored.

This matter cannot be discussed in detail; we can only rely on tacit understanding.

After the banquet ended, the Bull Demon King hurriedly left.

When others heard that he had sent his son to Tan Wenjie to be a pageboy, they all despised this former great demon, saying that it was shameful for him to seek refuge with a god and that demons would find it disgraceful.

The Bull Demon King ignored the criticisms and created a so-called "company" specifically to gather up the lesser demons whose lair had been destroyed.

Many monsters began to mock the Bull Demon King, saying that his entire family consisted of old, weak, sick, and disabled people, and what use were they no matter how many there were?

……

Flaming Mountain.

A group of monsters and children gathered together.

They are the "top students" who have been selected through multiple rounds of screening and are able to control the largest number of Five Elements Vehicles, allowing them to use the latest models of Five Elements Vehicles to assist in their cultivation.

However, at that moment they were watching an eight-year-old boy.

The other person had red hair and was staring at the Five Elements Chariot in front of him, holding back a lot of energy.

After a while, the boy raised his fist and punched his nose. After a few punches, blood started flowing from his nose.

"Isn't this someone else's trick?" Everyone turned to look at the medicine boy.

The medicine boy was also astonished.

Because he lacked fire energy, he devised this little trick to help himself breathe fire, and to his surprise, the newcomer learned it after only seeing it once.

Black smoke billowed from its nostrils.

Immediately afterwards, flames shot out a meter high with a "boom." The crowd, who had not anticipated the power of the flames, were so frightened that they retreated in panic, creating chaos.

"Hahahaha!" The boy burst into laughter.

Even when faced with displeased looks from others, he kept smiling.

"We need to teach this kid a lesson!" someone said, rolling up their sleeves.

There is no rule against private fights, but because resources are sufficient, the most direct conflicts no longer exist, so everyone lives in peace.

"I remember General Little Alligator Dragon said something like, 'What was the Emperor's decree again?'" A little demon counted on his fingers, then scratched his head after saying half of it.

The apprentice pharmacist couldn't help but complain, "That's called repeated orders and prohibitions!"

"Yes, I didn't miscalculate." The little demon gestured with her eight fingers.

The young apprentice slapped his forehead in exasperation.

These idiots!

"The Emperor said that we must not kill each other, otherwise we will be driven out to fend for ourselves."

They knew perfectly well that their own abilities were far from sufficient to protect themselves and their people; what mattered most was being able to learn here and seize the opportunity to curry favor with Tan Wenjie. In the midst of the stalemate, a voice rang out.

"Red Boy, your father has arrived."

"Oh, I know."

Red Boy dusted off imaginary dust, put away the Five Elements Chariot, and strode away under the gazes of the crowd.

As for the whispers behind him, Red Boy paid no attention. It was only because someone was keeping him in check that he would have shown these people the power of the Holy Infant King.

After leaving the fire pit where he cultivated the Samadhi True Fire, Red Boy arrived at the forward encampment and saw the Bull Demon King chatting with Tan Wenjie.

The Great Sage of the Demon Clan was patting his chest and saying something, his face beaming.

"After the Green Lion, White Elephant, and Golden-Winged Roc were captured, I, Old Ox, immediately rushed over and gathered all the little demons who were trying to escape. They were not very bright and were confused, only knowing to call out 'Great King' to each other."

"Select more monsters and manage them well. If you lack management talent, I can arrange for a silly girl to assist you."

"You still have a silly girl there?" the Bull Demon King asked in surprise.

Silly Girl's magic power was average, and Old Ox looked down on her, but Silly Girl was too convenient to use, and he had always been envious of her.

After seeing Tan Wenjie nod, the Bull Demon King asked, "Is it still possible to travel through time and space?"

After asking the question, the Bull Demon King realized his mistake and said awkwardly, "I was just asking. I didn't intend to go there. That era was quite boring. It's much better here."

Not to mention that Sun Wukong got a stomachache after eating poisonous fruits, even the old ox couldn't stand those additives.

"Your Majesty, Father." Red Boy came over after they had finished chatting.

"Holy Infant, how's your magic going?" The Bull Demon King looked at his son, hugged him, and said, "You must study hard and not embarrass your father!"

"Yes, I know."

The Bull Demon King then turned to Tan Wenjie and said, "Your Majesty, if the Holy Infant does anything wrong, please beat him hard and teach him a lesson he will die!"

Tan Wenjie: "..."

Old Niu went to the 21st century and learned a lot, including this whole thing.

He said, "I rely entirely on my own conscience here; I never force anyone."

It's either fate or destiny; effort plays a very small role. It's not that effort is useless, but all effort is based on "fate."

Reincarnation is a skill; being born into a country free from war is considered lucky, and being able to embark on the path of cultivation is a rare feat, perhaps only one in a million.

“That’s right, that’s right.” The Bull Demon King nodded in agreement, and then said, “I think Tang Sanzang and the others have arrived in India and should be close to becoming Buddhas.”

It would be a lie to say I'm not envious. Becoming a Buddha or an ancestor is just a journey on the Journey to the West.

But if you were to ask how much he wanted to be a monk, the Bull Demon King, being greedy for wine, money, and women, would definitely not be used to that kind of life. Even just thinking about it made him feel constrained.

"If you do your job well, you might just achieve something great one day," Tan Wenjie casually promised.

The Bull Demon King, however, was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Your Majesty, rest assured!"

Managing monsters is his old profession, and if he could shed his demonic form and achieve enlightenment, Old Ox wouldn't be too opposed to it.

Let the old man and his son chat aside, and Tan Wenjie turned to look towards Lingshan.

The Journey to the West had ended without causing much of a stir; he hadn't even received a notification.

A few days later.

Sun Wukong specially invited Tan Wenjie over for a drink, and then returned to Flower Fruit Mountain.

The monkeys had barely left when another guest arrived.

"Wow—"

Birdsong pierced the sky.

A cloud of auspiciousness carried a white crane with outstretched wings, which landed and transformed into a handsome boy.

"Senior Brother Baihe, it's been a long time."

"It was your grandmaster who summoned you."

"I?"

“Yes, didn’t I promise to pass on my teachings to you last time?” The White Crane Boy had a ‘you’re really lucky’ look on his face and said, “Hurry up and pack your things and come with me. This kind of opportunity is rare.”

He pinched his nose and sized up Tan Wenjie.

"No, I should take a bath first, change into a new set of clothes, and then go to see my master. I must not be disrespectful!"

"Then I'll have to ask you to sit in my cave for a while, senior brother. Please wait a moment."

Tan Wenjie quickly left and instructed Princess Wansheng and Princess Yumian, who were guarding the door, to bring up all the rare insects, snails, and shellfish.

Spending all day by the side of Yuanshi Tianzun must be so boring, so as a good junior brother, he has to be considerate.

Just as the White Crane Boy came to invite him, Tan Wenjie finally received the reminder he had been waiting for.

System update complete.

[This update adds a new feature: Heavenly Path]

[Heavenly Dao: In each secret realm, you can observe your Heavenly Dao level. The level is related to "fortune," "wealth," and "unexpected events," and has a direct impact on "cultivation," "forging," and "favorability towards the secret realm's natives." (Note: When illegally invading, an excessively high Heavenly Dao level will trigger a Heavenly Dao wanted notice.)]

The update is finally over.

The White Crane Boy sat cross-legged on a futon when he suddenly smelled a woman's perfume. Looking up, he saw that it was two enchanting women who had come.

“Junior brother, your magical power is great, yet you still can’t see through matters between men and women.” The White Crane Boy shook his head, his expression quite regretful.

In his view, Tan Wenjie and Yang Jian were the same; they valued emotions too much. If they could reduce their desires and purify their minds, with their talents, they could definitely reach a higher level in a short time and touch the mysterious "Heavenly Dao".

"Young master, this is what my lord, the Emperor, prepared for you."

A plate of snails was placed on the table.

Then came another plate of wriggling green worms.

The White Crane Boy lowered his eyes, refusing to look at it at all.

However, after a long time, Tam Man-kit still did not appear.

He comforted himself, thinking that Tan Wenjie was too respectful to his master and therefore needed to take a good bath, but the White Crane Boy's ears could hear the sounds of snails and green insects.

The White Crane Boy opened his eyes, turned his head left and right, and after confirming that no one was watching him, he reached out to grab the snail on the table.

It's not easy to eat with your hands, but after transforming into a crane, he pecks with his long beak and tilts his head back, and the delicious food enters his throat. The happy white crane boy flaps his wings.

"Crack!"

A sudden burst of bright light flashed from ahead.

Then, Tan Wenjie appeared before the White Crane Boy.

"Junior brother, you!"

"Senior brother, I have a special ability: I can become invisible." Tan Wenjie waved the Polaroid camera. "Hey, senior brother, it seems you quite like eating these things too. I'll bring you two more baskets later?"

"Humph."

Having been given leverage, the White Crane Boy stopped pretending and simply stuffed the food into his mouth.

Let's eat our fill first. (End of Chapter)
