A Tale of Encounters with Immortals: A Peach Blossom Temple in the Martial World

Wang became an apprentice.

He knelt before Fairy Zixia, kowtowed, and offered her tea, and the matter was settled. However, Wang Shi absolutely refused to change her surname, nor was she willing to change her name to Bai Jingjing as Sun Wukong had requested.

Zixia Fairy took Wang Shi to Qingcheng Mountain to practice swordsmanship every day.

Sun Wukong sat sadly on a big tree, looking at the flat area he had cleared in the mountains where Zixia was teaching Wang Shi to practice swordsmanship.

Wang Shi really resembles Bai Jingjing, including her temper towards Sun Wukong.

This further convinced Sun Wukong that Wang was Bai Jingjing.

He just didn't understand why Wang Shi didn't want to change her name to Bai Jingjing.

The Moonlight Box has been taken back by Fairy Zixia; it was said to be a loan, and what is borrowed must be returned. Sun Wukong cannot yet travel back 500 years to see if Bai Jingjing is still alive.

"Give!"

The fat monk handed the monkey a pot of wine.

After taking it, the monkey tilted its head back and gulped it down. Then it looked back at the fat monk and laughed, "You're much cuter than my master."

The fat monk chuckled, "Your master? Bodhi Patriarch or Tang Sanzang?"

The monkey was startled; he had never told anyone that his master was Bodhi Patriarch.

"you……"

His voice trembled as if it were a leaf falling in the autumn wind.

“I know the past, present, and future; I know everything in the world; naturally, I also know your master and Patriarch Bodhi.” The fat monk smiled. “So, you’re asking who I am more lovable than?”

Upon hearing this, the monkey was immediately reassured and said, "Of course it's Tang Sanzang."

The fat monk nodded: "Although Tang Sanzang is a bit long-winded, he is ultimately a compassionate person. He has his mission. He came from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, and he is not afraid of death to obtain the true scriptures. Not to mention that the scriptures can save people, just his character alone surpasses that of countless people in the world."

The monkey laughed: "You're advising me to go and help him on his pilgrimage?"

The fat monk said, "I'm not advising you; I'm telling you to look at your own true heart."

The monkey said, "What my true nature is is not important. What good is it to see my true nature clearly?"

Just then, a person came over carrying a basket of vegetables. Seeing the two of them, the person smiled and said, "Perfect timing! These are some delicious dishes made by Shu Baimei. Come and have some with us."

Zhang Zhengdao leaped onto the tree trunk and took everything out of the basket.

The chicken, duck, fish and meat stalls are now open.

Despite having nothing to support it, the surface was perfectly flat, and the dishes placed on it looked more like they were on a table without falling off. The three of them, each carrying a wine jug, clinked them together.

The fat monk said, "We eat and drink all day long, and I feel like I've gotten fat."

Zhang Zhengdao said, "You're already fat!"

The fat monk nodded: "I was fat to begin with, but I say I'm fat because I didn't feel that way before. It's my true feeling. If I don't think I'm fat, then I'm not fat."

Zhang Zhengdao: "You're just fooling yourself."

Then he turned to the monkey and said, "Your master has been captured. Do you want to go and rescue him? Or should you stay here and wait for Wang Shi to turn into Bai Jingjing?"

The fat monk glanced at Zhang Zhengdao but didn't say anything.

The monkey remained silent, simply holding the wine jug and drinking one sip after another.

Zhang Zhengdao didn't care whether he answered or not, and quickly ate his food, otherwise the monk would eat it all.

After the meal, everyone went home.

After being trained by Fairy Zixia, Wang, the White Bone Demon, was also taken home. Fortunately, although Wang was a White Bone Demon, she no longer needed to drink blood to maintain her cultivation like the White Bone Demon who was killed by Sun Wukong.

At the moment she became a spirit, Fairy Zixia used the Red Lotus Purifying Fire to burn away her karmic obstacles, and she is now a very pure cultivation body.

In particular, when Zhang Zhengdao became her disciple, he gave her a Nine-Turn Golden Pill as a congratulatory gift.

This stuff is usually only available to Zixia and Shu Baimei.

The monkey sat in the tree all night, unaware that the White Bone Demon, Wang Shi, had left him. All he could think about was Tang Sanzang, a master he utterly disliked.

The monkey looked up at the stars all night.

That day, I had caused a great disturbance, met those star lords and heavenly generals, gone on an outing with various gods and immortals, and even made the Lingxiao Palace restless.

As dawn broke, the monkeys in the trees had disappeared.

At Mount Jilei, the Bull Demon King got married. After being beaten twice, he respectfully saw off Tang Sanzang and his disciples, along with a white horse, as they departed.

Tang Sanzang looked at the sky; it was hot. He then looked at his two disciples; he felt dejected.

"It's so hot. I wish Wukong were here."

Sha Wujing muttered, "Even if my senior brother comes, do you think he can block out the sun for you? He'll still be dried into a dried-up corpse."

Tang Sanzang angrily said, "If Wukong were here, he would at least find me a lotus leaf for shade or something. Look at you two, you're even more listless than me. You two have supernatural powers."

Pigsy shouted, "Master, you ride your horse without a backache, but we not only get sunburned, we also have to trot to keep up with your white horse. How can we not be more miserable than you?"

As they were talking, a gust of wind suddenly blew by.

A cloud of yellow sand swirled up, almost blinding the three of them.

Then a voice rang out from the sandstorm: "Hahaha, where do you think you're going?"

Tang Sanzang was so frightened by the laugh that his legs went weak, and with a gust of wind blowing, he fell off his horse.

"Protect Master!"

Pigsy shouted and jumped behind the slope.

Sha Wujing shouted, "Master, your second senior brother is here to protect you!" and took cover beside the white dragon horse.

The wind and sand stopped, the laughter ceased, and a beautiful woman descended from the sky, landing beside Tang Sanzang, who was sitting on the sand. She lifted him up, and then a gust of wind blew him away.

"If you want Tang Sanzang, come find me in Shacheng."

The wind stopped again, and the sandstorm subsided.

Pigsy patted the sand off his head and complained to Sandy, who was peeking out from hiding, "How could you let Master get captured so easily?"

Sha Wujing said, "Since the eldest brother is not here, the second brother should take on the responsibility of subduing demons and monsters. My responsibility is still to guard the luggage and prevent the demons from stealing it."

The two looked at each other.

The white dragon horse usually doesn't speak unless it can't stand the sight anymore.

“You two did nothing and were captured by your master. Even if you reach the Western Paradise, you will not achieve enlightenment and will be blamed by the Bodhisattva.”

Pigsy glanced at him.

"Little White Dragon, you are a horse now, and your role is to carry people. Just do your job well."

White Dragon Horse: "I also want to do my job, but now that Master has been arrested, who am I supposed to carry to the Western Paradise? Master can't even keep an eye on things. I think without Senior Brother, you two are nothing."

Pigsy angrily said, "I'm really hungry. I wonder if roasted horse meat is any good."

The white dragon horse shut up.

Sha Wujing: "What do we do now?"

Pigsy: "Let's divide the luggage. The nine-ringed staff is mine, the cassock is yours, and the golden alms bowl is for the White Dragon Horse. The pilgrims are all gone, so even if we go, Buddha won't give us the scriptures."

Sha Wujing thought for a moment and said, "That's true!"

The white dragon horse kept its mouth closed.

Just as Sha Wujing was about to collect his luggage, he suddenly looked up at the sky, opened his mouth wide, and said to Zhu Bajie, "Second Brother, there are clouds coming from the sky."

Pigsy was looking at the nine-ringed staff, which was said to have been given by the Bodhisattva and should be the most expensive.

Is it rare to have clouds in the sky?

"The clouds are moving!"

"Clouds definitely move, they move when the wind blows..."

"Boom-"

Pigsy's body suddenly flew up and crashed onto the sand, sliding a long way. He cried out in pain and couldn't get up for a long time.

Sha Wujing immediately rushed forward and said eagerly, "Eldest brother, eldest brother, you've finally come! Second brother ignored Master and let him be captured by the demons."

Sun Wukong tilted his head and beckoned with his finger.

"Bajie, come here!"

Pigsy struggled to his feet, limping towards Monkey King, and said with a mournful face, "It's not that I don't want to protect Master, but I can't win. Besides, in a fight, weapons don't have eyes. If Master gets hurt, wouldn't that be putting the greater good before the lesser good? So, the bigger picture is more important..."

"Oh!"

A punch landed squarely on his nose, causing it to bleed profusely.

"Oh dear, senior brother, stop hitting him! Stop hitting him! Master was captured by a female demon. Before she left, she said that if we wanted to save Master, we should go to Sand City to find her."

Sun Wukong nodded: "Shacheng? Good. Keep an eye on the luggage. If you can't find Master, none of you will be safe."

With a leap, he vanished without a trace.

A dark cloud hung over the sky above Shacheng.

Sand City wasn't really a city, just a bit larger than a town. On the dilapidated earthen walls, the Sunset Warrior Qin Ling stood shoulder to shoulder with the Fairy of Forest Flowers, gazing into the distance.

"I'm planning to retire from the martial arts world."

The Sunset Warrior looked at the Fairy of the Forest and said.

Fairy Lin Hua asked, "Why? Is there nothing you need in the martial world?"

Qin Ling, the Sunset Warrior, laughed and said, "I have come to the martial world and found the person I want. Moreover, this person is a treasure. How can I bear to leave such a treasure in the martial world, coveted by everyone? So I want to retire from the martial world and live a carefree life with my beloved."

The fairy of the forest, blushing, reached out her hand and held it tightly with that of the sunset warrior, Qin Ling.

"Look! There's a monster!"

Suddenly, the people below the city cried out. A black wind swept in from afar, and suddenly a woman appeared on the city wall, carrying a monk in her hand.

"roll!"

The woman coldly observed the Sunset Warrior Qin Ling and the Fairy of the Forest Flowers.

Qin Ling, the Sunset Warrior, gripped his sword hilt tightly. How could he tolerate such humiliation? He was the Sunset Warrior, after all. Just as his hand tightened, a soft hand gently squeezed his other hand.

Holding hands with Fairy Lin Hua, they walked down the city wall without saying a word.
