All the heavens began with Huo Yi

"Buddha Maitreya, please wait a moment." Su'er called out to Maitreya, who was about to leave, and took out the human seed bag from his clothes. "Buddha, the root of the nose I am looking for is in this bag, but I do not have the magic to open it, so I can only ask you for help."

When Maitreya saw that Suer had handed him his magical artifact, he took it and said, "Yes, this is the important matter. I've been waiting for you to bring it up."

As Maitreya spoke, he opened the human seed bag in his hand, and a large fish with ten tails gradually shrank and finally merged into Suer's body.

"Hey! Good! Good!" Bajie, who was standing to the side, was even happier than Suer when he saw Bigen return.

……

At Xiaoleiyin Temple, Su'er and Bajie followed Maitreya Buddha to this magnificent temple.

It wasn't that I came here to stroll around, but Su'er had promised Prince Zhang that he would help him retrieve the Four Generals' Divine Souls. Although Su'er couldn't do what Ji Bu did, he wasn't the kind of holy lord who treated his promises as mere farts.

On the way to Xiaoleiyin Temple, Su'er obtained the Divine Soul of Wangxiang halfway there. He only needed to complete the last tribulation before he could return to the Floating Pagoda to see Xiao Zhang.

When Maitreya arrived at the main gate of the temple, he swung his palm and destroyed the physical body of Jiebo, which had transformed into a blood lotus.

After Su'er took away Jie Bo's divine soul, he bid farewell to Maitreya Buddha and then led Bajie to the bottom of the Floating Pagoda Prison.

"Young Prince Zhang, I have brought you the remaining divine soul," Su Er transmitted his voice.

Prince Zhang reached out and accepted the two divine souls, then bowed deeply to Su Er. "I thank you, senior. I have nothing of value and cannot repay you now. I hope you will not find fault with my broken spear. If you ever have time to visit Sizhou in the future, you can use this as a token of your gratitude. I will definitely thank you properly."

After handing the broken-in-two-piece white spear to Suer, Xiao Zhang bowed again and then felt his way out.

Seeing Prince Zhang in such a state, Pigsy couldn't help but sigh and say, "Back then, Prince Zhang was so full of vigor and spirit, how could he have fallen to such a state today? He has destroyed his own eyes and ears, becoming deaf and blind. How pitiful!"

"Alright, everyone has their own path. I've done my part by offering a helping hand. We should continue our journey now." Su Er rose into the air and glanced at Prince Zhang, who was still struggling to move forward. He hoped that Prince Zhang would have a safe journey back to Sizhou.

Meanwhile, while Su'er finished his work, Maitreya was still dealing with various long-standing problems at the Little Thunder Temple.

The demons and monsters in Xiaoleiyin Temple all believe in Huangmei's teachings, so Maitreya naturally needs to eliminate them one by one.

"But not, Senior Brother?"

Although the abbot of the monastery was not visible, he had developed a remarkable ability to hear sounds.

They can't just recognize the footsteps as soon as they appear and surround Shan Zheng to ask him questions.

"It is I, but I am not incapable of doing so. My Dharma name is Shanzheng, and I have taken refuge in the Buddha Maitreya." Shanzheng looked at the abbots who all had strips of cloth tied around their eyes and felt a surge of anger. However, Huangmei was already dead, and he thought there was no need to get angry. Shanzheng recited a few Buddhist chants to calm his anger.

Upon hearing Shanzheng's words, all the monks exclaimed in surprise, "Doesn't that mean our senior brother has become our senior uncle? He's now on the same level as the head monk!"

“The Patriarch is right before us, everyone please pay your respects,” Shanzheng said. Maitreya Buddha walked silently, and the abbot was completely unaware that there was another person present.

"Where is the patriarch?" asked one of the more experienced abbots.

"Hahaha, it's normal that you can't see me." Maitreya laughed. "My wicked disciple spread heresies and ruined your eyes. It's my fault as your master. Today, I will restore your sight."

Maitreya flicked his finger, and the blindfolds of all the monks fell to the ground. With a cry of surprise, "I can see!", the monks wept with joy and bowed to Maitreya.

After dealing with the abbot's blindness, Maitreya still had to deal with the other two disciples under Huangmei.

Impure was not so bad, but he was lazy, so Maitreya demoted him to an ordinary monk.

Meanwhile, Bukong, the eldest disciple under Huangmei, was told the truth about the dream of the Yellow Millet by Maitreya. After breaking down his defenses, Maitreya used swift and decisive means to deliver him from suffering.

After all, Bu Kong is a complete scoundrel. While he could make excuses for attacking the fox by saying he was traumatized by a dream, the crime of bewitching the new disciples into becoming snowman zombies is one that he can never wash away.

……

Seven days later, Su'er and Bajie arrived at a place where birds sang and flowers bloomed, mountains and forests were lush and green, pines and bamboos were verdant, and the land was blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

"Marshal, there's a manor down below that looks nice. We're all exhausted from traveling for days. Shall we go down and investigate?"

"This is probably Seven Absolutes Mountain. It's been a long time since I've been here." Bajie nodded in reminiscence and said, "It is indeed a good place to stay, but we can't stay like this. It might frighten the people. We need to make some changes."

"Back in the day, my senior brother and I subdued a giant crimson python here. That python's eyes alone were as big as cartwheels, and it killed several demon-slaying sorcerers. Luckily, it was my senior brother and me; otherwise, this manor wouldn't be here today."

Bajie recounted the past, descended from the clouds, and transformed into a bald monk with a potbelly, while Su'er transformed back into his original form.

Bajie looked at Su'er's transformed appearance and sized him up, saying, "Nephew, your transformed appearance is quite good, but you look a bit too young."

Bajie went first, followed by Suer.

Because the landing site was not far from the village, the two of them arrived at the village entrance in less than ten minutes.

As soon as the two arrived at the village entrance, they were spotted by a group of old men and women chatting idly.

One of the well-dressed elderly men in his seventies stepped forward, bowed to Suerbajie, and said, "Greetings, Master and this young man. May I ask where you two come from?"

“No need for such a grand gesture. We are from the Southwest.” Pigsy smiled and stepped forward to help the old man up, saying, “I am a wandering monk. I’m leaving my master to go out of the temple and gain some experience.”

This young man's surname is Su. I rescued him from the jaws of tigers and leopards on the way. He felt deeply that Buddhism should be taught by me and decided to come with me.

We are exhausted from our journey of several days, and since we have come to your esteemed place, we have humbly come to beg for alms.

After hearing what Bajie said, the old man immediately said, "So you are a master from Xiaoleiyin Temple! Your presence in our humble abode is an honor. A little vegetarian food is nothing. I am the village chief of Tuoluo Village. Please come in."

As he spoke, the old village chief turned to the old men and women in the village and said, "Hurry home and prepare some food. We'll set up a feast to welcome the eminent monk. Oh, and remember to invite the master as well."
