In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

Looking at the narrow and lonely log bridge in front of him, Chen Yi's eyes flickered. Suddenly he remembered that it was said that crossing this log bridge could transform one from an ordinary mortal into a Buddha, while riding the bottomless boat would remove one's mortal form.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi's heart stirred, and he turned to look at Jiang Liuer beside him.

Chen Yi tentatively suggested, "Brother Jiang, why don't you try walking across this log bridge? In my opinion, the reason this bridge is built the way it is must contain some profound meaning or mystery, don't you think?"

However, upon hearing this, Jiang Liuer's face turned deathly pale. He shook his head vigorously, repeatedly refusing, "This...this is absolutely unacceptable! This humble monk truly lacks the courage and ability to cross this single-plank bridge!"

Seeing Jiang Liuer's resolute attitude, Chen Yi couldn't help but feel a little helpless, but he still respected his choice and sighed softly, "Alright, alright..."

At this moment, Eleven, who had been standing next to Chen Yi, suddenly interjected, her voice clear and loud: "Father, Eleven wants to try and see if she can get through!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi was slightly taken aback at first, then a smile appeared on his face. He couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch Eleven's chubby cheeks, teasingly asking, "Oh ho, what's wrong? Our little one is actually thinking about becoming a Buddha?"

Upon hearing Chen Yi's words, Eleven showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, she playfully shook Chen Yi's arm and pleaded coquettishly, "Daddy~ let Eleven try it~ please~"

Seeing this, Chen Yi's heart softened, and she smiled and nodded, replying, "Alright, alright, then go ahead and try it. But be careful, don't fall! Otherwise, the river will swallow you up!"

After receiving Chen Yi's permission, Eleven cheered excitedly, "Okay!"

Then, like a happy little rabbit, it hopped and skipped towards the log bridge.

As the National Day parade approached its final stretch, Chen Yi suddenly seemed to remember something. He reached out and gently poked Sun Wukong beside him, then whispered, "Great Sage..."

Sun Wukong: "I understand. Don't worry at all, he will definitely be fine."

Hearing Sun Wukong's assurance, Chen Yi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. His eyes, like two blazing flames, were fixed on his son who had already climbed onto the log bridge.

Only when his son, like his father, wobbled across and back on the log bridge did Chen Yi feel relieved, and at the same time, a sense of admiration welled up in his heart.

Good heavens, this bridge is wet and slippery. He himself felt like he was walking on thin ice and dared not try it easily, but his son, who was only six years old, had such courage to run back and forth on it.

"Son! Well done!"

Eleven: "Dad, you should try it too, it's so much fun!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately shook his head vigorously, refusing, "No, no! Dad is afraid of heights!"

Without saying a word, Sun Wukong grabbed Chen Yi's arm and led him to the log bridge, gently comforting him, "Go ahead and try. As long as you don't look down, you won't be afraid. I will definitely protect you."

Chen Yi glanced fearfully at the river below, which seemed to gape like a ferocious beast's gaping maw, and shook his head vigorously: "...No! I really don't dare!"

Sun Wukong, however, remained stubborn and insisted, "Let's give it a try!"

Seeing Chen Yi's pale face, Jiang Liuer quickly stepped forward to persuade him, "Wukong, since Brother Chen is unwilling, don't force him."

Sun Wukong did not respond to Jiang Liuer, but instead looked at Chen Yi with piercing eyes and utmost seriousness.

"Shall we give it a try? If we're really scared, we can come back."

Chen Yi swallowed hard, as if the saliva weighed a ton, and then replied, "Well... okay, I'll give it a try..."

Chen Yi took a deep breath and climbed the log bridge shakily like a snail.

He had just taken a step when a wave crashed over him, startling him like a frightened rabbit. He let out a cry, then turned his head and leaped into Sun Wukong's arms like an arrow.

Sun Wukong, who was pounced on, sighed helplessly and comforted him, "...It's okay, if you're scared, we won't leave."

Chen Yi shook his head firmly: "No! I want to try!"

With that, he mustered his courage and stepped onto the log bridge once more.

Uh……

Seeing Chen Yi's strange posture, the master and his apprentices couldn't help but smile, but they tried their best to suppress their laughter, afraid of disturbing Chen Yi who was concentrating on crossing the bridge.

Chen Yi's entire body was pressed tightly against the log bridge, his hands and feet clinging to the bridge surface like suction cups.

He closed his eyes tightly, raised his head slightly, and muttered to himself, as if he were cheering himself on.

Then, he carefully moved his body forward little by little, each movement appearing so cautious and slow.

Perhaps because the log bridge had just been wet from the rain, the surface was extremely slippery, which allowed Chen Yi to successfully slide forward a considerable distance each time.

From a distance, his clumsy appearance really looked like a large tortoise struggling to crawl.

Eleven, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't hold back any longer. He gently tugged at Sun Wukong's sleeve and whispered, "Father, look at Dad, he looks like a giant tortoise..."

然而，话音未落，孙悟空便伸出手指在十一的脑门上轻轻弹了一下，并低声训斥道：“不许胡说八道！你这小鬼头，再乱说话小心我揍你！”

"You're the one who looks like a turtle, a complete little turtle bastard!"

Eleven winced and covered her forehead, her eyes filled with grievance. She pouted and dared not utter another sound.

However, his bright, lively eyes remained fixed on Chen Yi, and he would occasionally let out a silly grin.

At this moment, Sun Wukong flashed and quickly flew to Chen Yi's side.

He casually waved his sleeve, summoning the Somersault Cloud.

Then, Sun Wukong placed the Somersault Cloud steadily beneath Chen Yi, as if laying out a safe and comfortable cushion for him.

"Little monk, don't be afraid, you'll be alright. If you don't believe me, open your eyes and look down," Sun Wukong said gently to Chen Yi.

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, Chen hesitated at first, but eventually mustered his courage and opened his eyes slightly through a crack.

When he saw the somersault cloud beneath him through the narrow gap, his fear vanished instantly.

So he immediately released his hands, which were gripping the edge of the log bridge, and with all his might, he crawled forward as fast as an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, he had successfully reached the other side of the log bridge.

Although he was soaked to the bone, he was very excited.

He waved to the other side: "Brother Jiang, Eleven! Come over here quickly!"

Upon hearing Chen Yi's call, Shiyi immediately climbed onto the bridge.

"Dad! I'm here!"

Before long, he ran to the end and pounced into Chen Yi's arms.

Sun Wukong: "You all wait here, I'll go get Master."

Chen nodded and replied, "Okay, it's perfect timing for Eleven and me to go back to the space to change our clothes."

"Yes, go quickly, don't get sick."

As he spoke, Sun Wukong ruffled Chen Yi's hair and praised him in the same tone Chen Yi often used to praise Eleven: "You were fantastic today!"

Chen Yi blushed: "Hey! I'm not a child, I don't need to be coaxed."

Sun Wukong smiled broadly: "Alright, alright, you're not a child anymore."

Chen Yi rolled his eyes at him, picked up his son, and went into the space. He was afraid that if he stayed with Sun Wukong any longer, his face would start to burn.

Sun Wukong returned to the other side and asked Jiang Liuer again.

“Master, are you really not going to cross this single-plank bridge? You just saw how the little monk crossed it; you can learn from him.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liuer immediately shook his head: "How can we cross this bridge? Let's forget about it and find another route."

Sun Wukong: "Alright then, I'll go look around and see if there are any boats."

Speak of the devil, and he appears; the next second, the master and his disciples heard an old man singing.

"As long as there's a boat, you can cross the river..."

Jiang Liuer spotted a boatman on the river not far away and exclaimed with delight, "Great! It's a boat!"

Sha Wujing: "It really is a boat!"

Master is saved!

The boatman sailed up to the group of master and his disciples and shouted, "Hey! Elder, take my boat!"

Jiang Liuer was about to nod when he saw that the boat was bottomless and was immediately shocked: "Wukong, how can this bottomless boat carry people?"

Sun Wukong: "Master, a bottomless boat is perfect for saving all living beings."

He recognized the boatman at a glance. Since he was the Buddha of Guidance, there was nothing wrong with sitting on the boat.

Jiang Liuer waved his hands repeatedly: "Ah! No, no..."

Sun Wukong urged, "Master is alright, let's go, let's go."

"No, no, no!"

"Let's go!" Sun Wukong pushed Jiang Liuer onto the boat with all his might.

The boatman saw Jiang Liuer swaying precariously in the middle of the boat, about to fall, and quickly reached out to support him.

After regaining his footing, Jiang Liuer was still somewhat shaken; he was terrified!

They breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that sitting on the bottomless boat was really safe.

"Master!"

"Master! We're here!"

As he spoke, his three disciples immediately flew to Jiang Liuer's side to protect him.
