"Fool, you really deserve a beating. I told you to keep a close eye on your master, but all you thought about was your appetite. It seems I, Old Sun, will have to find a layer of nails and let you, this thick-skinned fool, roll around on it a few times!"

Sun Wukong, with his fiery eyes, saw through Zhu Bajie's little scheme at a glance. Seeing that Zhu Bajie had confessed without being asked, Sun Wukong grabbed his ear and started scolding him:

“A few days ago, a spotted tiger-headed demon sneaked into Huasheng Temple. You fool didn’t even notice and almost caused a disaster. If it weren’t for Master’s intervention, I would have used this golden cudgel to loosen your skin.”

Pigsy, looking miserable, begged for mercy:

"Good brother, please spare me this time. That tiger-headed demon is just a minor monster. After being converted by Master, he wholeheartedly converted and is now a vegetarian tiger. Besides, with Master here, what demons or monsters would dare to cause trouble here?"

Sun Wukong sneered before releasing his grip on his ear:

“Good junior brother, do you know how many demons your master has converted in the past six months? The white-haired fox spirit with slanted eyes and a black-faced, silver-backed rat spirit converted a month ago, the blue-faced lion spirit and the white-headed old deer spirit converted last month, plus this spotted tiger spirit, a total of five demons are all clamoring to join my Buddhist sect!”

Do you know what the origin of that spotted tiger demon is? It originally cultivated in the Moyun Cave, and later became the mount of the Sudhana. My master converted this demon into a Buddhist monk, and the little boy came to me crying and making a fuss, demanding that I compensate him with a mount!

I told you to watch over Master, which meant I told you to stop Master, but instead you're slacking off!

Pigsy burst out laughing: "Eldest brother, before that Sudhana entered the Buddhist order, according to seniority, he should have called you 'dear uncle.' On the journey to the West, he tried to eat Master, but Master gave him a good lecture. How did we run into each other again!"

"Of course I'm not afraid of him. It was this spotted tiger demon who entered Chang'an and committed evil first, which is why my master captured and converted him. If we're talking about logic, I'm not afraid either. But I, Old Sun, am most afraid of crying little children. This Sudhana has turned into a child and started crying in front of me. I really can't stand dealing with him. It's giving me a terrible headache!"

Sun Wukong squatted on the offering table and waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Pigsy was immediately speechless.

Speaking of their master, the current Sandalwood Merit Buddha, the Tripitaka Master of the Tang Dynasty, and the younger brother of the Tang Emperor, there are truly too many to say in a single sentence.

The Tripitaka Master was originally the reincarnation of the Heavenly Golden Cicada. He was reborn into the womb of a mortal and became a human. Unfortunately, his life was full of twists and turns. His biological father, Chen Guangrui, was killed by water bandits and his identity was taken away. His biological mother, Yin Wenjiao, was kidnapped by water bandits and held captive for eighteen years.

To ensure Sanzang's safety, his mother sent him into the river. Sanzang was found by the elder of Hongfu Temple and named "Jiang Liuer".

Jiang Liuer was born extraordinary. He was obsessed with Buddhism and was well-versed in the interpretation of many scriptures at a young age. As he grew up, he also mastered martial arts and wielded a monk's knife with great skill, vanquishing demons and monsters everywhere.

When Jiang Liuer turned eighteen, he learned about his true identity. He then went to Chang'an alone, carrying a letter written in blood by his birth mother, to sue the river bandits who had forcibly taken another man's wife for eighteen years. He saved his birth mother, and his actions were widely regarded as righteous deeds. Even the Tang Emperor had heard of him.

Later, the Tang emperor intended to send someone to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Jiang Liuer, also known as the Tripitaka Master, was devoted to Buddhism and set off for the Western Paradise alone on horseback, displaying a chivalrous spirit.

On their journey to the West, half of the demons were driven away by Sun Wukong, but most were converted by the Buddhist teachings of the Tang Monk.

If there are vicious and wicked demons that are harmful to human life, then Sun Wukong will naturally deal with them.

As the saying goes, "Even Buddha gets angry." Monks are compassionate, but if they encounter someone who is unrepentant, commits all kinds of evil, and takes pleasure in harming people, then Sun Wukong should naturally convert him and send him to the Yama King's palace to reflect on his actions.

"Senior brother, I heard that Lady Yin lives near Huasheng Temple! But Lady Yin refuses to see Master, what should we do?"

A hint of worry appeared on Pigsy's chubby face:

"When Lady Yin sent Master away, she bit off Master's little toe and swallowed some of his essence blood. Now, Master's maternal grandparents and relatives have all passed away, leaving only Lady Yin alone. But Lady Yin refuses to see Master. The Water and Land Dharma Assembly is already halfway through. What should we do?"

"That Lady Yin felt guilty towards her master, and did not want others to know about her, for fear that others would gossip about her master's background. It was truly heartbreaking!"

Sun Wukong sighed, a hint of melancholy appearing on his furry face:

"If Lady Yin truly did not wish to see my master, why has she stayed in Chang'an for the past fifteen years, hoping day and night for his return from his pilgrimage? Chen Guangrui has been reincarnated for over a decade, yet Lady Yin knowingly still comes to Huasheng Temple to light candles and burn paper money; she is probably waiting for news of my master!"

It's pitiful and lamentable that Lady Yin has already received news of her son, but she is reluctant to see him, who has already become a Buddha. When Sanzang came to visit, she simply closed the door tightly and wept inside the house.

"If Lady Yin is shy, then I will transform into a mortal and coax her to come to this temple to listen to the sutras, so that she can meet the master!"

Pigsy patted his chest and guaranteed it, but Monkey King knocked him on the head three times:

"Fool! If it were that simple, I, Old Sun, would have already kidnapped Lady Yin and brought her to see my master. Would I have needed to do that—"

Does he really need to disguise himself as a novice monk and live next to Huasheng Temple to watch over Consort Yin?!

It should be known that Lady Yin is the only mortal in heaven and earth who has eaten Tang Sanzang's flesh, and her essence and blood are a great tonic in the eyes of many demons!

Inside and outside Chang'an, gods and Buddhas all knew of this "Buddha Mother," so the city gods, local deities, and day and night wandering gods all took good care of her. Otherwise, a weak woman who couldn't lift a finger or carry a heavy load, even if she were immortal, would have been captured as a monster long ago.
