Chaos Spirit Field

After Yuan Hong and Long Shisi broke free from the formation, they came out of the meditation room and found that Zhao Shanhe was missing. They stared at each other, not knowing what to do.

Long Shisi said anxiously, "Big Brother, you have great magical powers. Please quickly check the whereabouts of our master."

After careful investigation, Yuan Hong did not find any clues. He tried to curse Zhao Shanhe in his heart, but a sharp pain came from his soul and he could not help but scream. It really proved the saying that good people do not live long, but evil will last for thousands of years.

Long Shisi was a bit bewildered. His master was gone, and his eldest brother seemed to be in great pain. He asked anxiously, "Elder Brother, what's wrong with you? Please don't scare me. Where can I find a doctor for you in this remote place? Master, please come back soon. My eldest brother is dying."

After a while, Yuan Hong finally recovered. He said, "Long Shisi, stop howling. I'm fine. Master is fine too. Let's wait here patiently. I believe he will be back soon."

Long Shisi asked in confusion, "Big Brother, how can you be sure that the master is okay? This Lanruo Temple is filled with ghostly auras, and the master is so handsome, he must have been captured by a female ghost and sucked away her yang energy. Let's look everywhere."

Yuan Hong couldn't persuade Long Shisi to leave, and they searched for half a month, searching a thousand miles, but they still couldn't find Zhao Shanhe. Dejected, they returned to Lanruo Temple, only to find the plaque had been replaced with "Guanyin Temple." A pilgrim said, "What a huge monkey! Could it be a monster?"

Another pilgrim said, "This is the Guanyin Bodhisattva's temple. It's normal for monsters to come here because of its reputation."

Long Shisi said to Yuan Hong, "Big Brother, it turns out the master was called away by that little girl Guanyin Bodhisattva. No wonder we couldn't find him. I've known for a long time that they were having an affair."

Yuan Hong teased with a wicked smile, "Long Shisi, this is the temple of Guanyin Bodhisattva. You're speaking nonsense here. Be careful that the Bodhisattva hears you. You'll be in trouble if she hears you."

Long Shisi, however, was unconcerned and said disdainfully, "Humph! Even if you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner first. Even if Guanyin Bodhisattva heard, what could she do to me? Besides, we are still outside the temple, she shouldn't be able to hear it."

However, at this moment, the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara in the Zen room smiled slightly and said softly, "Xuanzang, a horse should look like a horse, don't you agree?"

Zhao Shanhe clasped his hands together and said to Guanyin Bodhisattva, "Please do as you please, Bodhisattva. I can now have some peace and quiet. A formation has been set up within a hundred miles of Guanyin Temple. All kind-hearted beings will be blessed. You just need to find a responsible person to serve as abbot, and the incense will naturally remain strong. Now that the matter here is settled, I should continue my journey to the west to obtain the scriptures. I will take my leave now." After saying this, he turned and left.

Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but sigh as she watched Zhao Shanhe's departing back. No wonder the Buddha Mother went against all odds and let him take on the mission of obtaining the scriptures. This man was really a master at manipulating people's hearts. She suddenly thought of Zhao Zilong in her heart, and she didn't know why.

When Long Shisi saw Zhao Shanhe appear, he quickly ran up to him and acted coquettishly, communicating with his eyes: "Master, that little girl Guanyin Bodhisattva is too cruel, and you don't care about it. Women should not be spoiled too much."

Zhao Shanhe laughed and teased, "Little Fourteen, can't you go further away first? It was originally only a one-year sentence, but now it's become three years. Just be a horse and be at ease. It's time for us to set off."

The three of them left Guanyin Temple and continued on their journey. When they stopped to rest, Long Shisi found that he had developed a strong interest in green grass. He tried his best to hint that he was a dragon, but he just couldn't control his mouth and ate a belly full of grass. He probably learned his lesson: women are really not to be messed with.

In the Heavenly Palace, Wen Zhong returned to the Heavenly Emperor to report. He said, "Your Majesty, Xuanzang summoned the Queen Mother Hou Tu and eliminated the Black Mountain Demon."

"Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Sound Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable, are you sure that Xuanzang is Zhao Shanhe?"

"Your Majesty, I cannot confirm that Zhao Shanhe was indeed struck by my all-seeing eye. Logically, his body should have been completely destroyed, and his soul should have been scattered."

"According to what you said, Xuanzang should not be Zhao Shanhe."

Wen Zhong thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Xuanzang should be Zhao Shanhe, otherwise the Queen Mother of the Underworld would not have taken action."

"What did Master Tongtian say?"

"Master said that Jiejiao will not interfere in matters related to the Journey to the West."

"He did it cleanly. You can go down."

"Subordinates retire."

Wen Zhong has lost his former arrogance. Now he can only rely on the Emperor of Heaven and is as honest as a dog. If he had known earlier, he should not have attacked Zhao Shanhe.

The Emperor of Heaven fell into deep thought. There was no doubt that Zhao Shanhe must die, not only because of the Queen Mother, but also for other reasons. However, finding someone to do it became a problem. The General Curtain-Pulling General who had already descended to the mortal world might not be the right person.

The Journey to the West officially began when Yuan Hong was taken in at the foot of Zhao Shanhe's Five Elements Mountain. All saints had to stay indoors, of course there were exceptions, such as Nuwa. Because of her special status, the Taoist Ancestor did not have much control over her.

Nuwa, the goddess of the gods, has been following the Journey to the West. She feels something is amiss with Xuanzang, so she goes to the Three Immortals Island to seek answers. Zhao Zilong and Yang Xiaochan are enjoying a meal when he suddenly senses someone has triggered a magic formation, and he reveals a wicked smile.

A moment later, Nuwa appeared beside Zhao Shanhe in a state of extreme embarrassment. She grabbed his ear and said, "Zhao Zilong, what are you thinking? You actually teleported me to the Eye of the North Sea. This is truly outrageous."

Zhao Zilong said with a look of grievance, "Nuwa, why didn't you go through the main gate? My formation is specifically designed to deal with the unconventional Zhunti Taoist. I originally set the teleportation point in the cesspool, but later felt that wasn't a good idea, so I just set it in the Eye of the North Sea. I didn't expect you to fall for it. Xiaochan is watching, can you please let go of that kid's ears for now?"

Nuwa released Zhao Zilong's ear and said, "You got my clothes wet. How are you going to make it up to me?"

Zhao Zilong teased, "Why don't you take off your clothes and I'll help you wash them. Goddess Nuwa, I've been saying things I don't mean lately. I'll treat you to some peaches."

Nuwa looked at Zhao Zilong with a half-smile in her eyes, a hint of curiosity and amusement flashing in her eyes. She teased, "Zhao boy, I didn't expect you to have peaches? Could it be that you have some special relationship with Yang Hui?"

Zhao Zilong replied seriously, "Nuwa, isn't this nonsense? The Queen's son is my apprentice, and I helped restore her Peach Garden. Shouldn't you give me a few peach trees?"

Nuwa nodded and said, "Zhao boy, I heard you have an innate spiritual treasure. Can you let me see it?"

Zhao Zilong's face immediately grew alert upon hearing this. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Nuwa, we have to make this clear! I'm just showing you this, and the previous events are over. Don't you just say something like 'Baby and I are destined to be together' like that Taoist Zhunti did? Otherwise, I won't do it!"
