Chapter 19: Two Law of Heaven and Earths opened as soon as they were spoken, who dares to mess around?

"Amituofo."

Guanyin Bodhisattva came through the air, while Tang An was sitting by a campfire.

Sun Wukong, Nezha, and Yang Jian were called back a little by Guanyin Bodhisattva, but they were not far from Tang An and were on guard at all times.

Here, two Law of Heaven and Earths opened as soon as they were spoken; even Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't dare to mess around.

"Tang An, as a master, why did you watch Nezha commit murder for no reason without stopping him?"

"Pretend to stop him? I pretended, but I didn't pretend well."

Three black lines fell from Guanyin Bodhisattva's forehead, "Do you know that Elder Jinchi plotted greed, and killing intent is one thing. But that Black Bear Spirit is already stained with Buddha nature, and his life should not have ended."

"Oh?" Tang An poked the firewood in the campfire, "So Guanyin Bodhisattva means that Buddha nature is a life-saving talisman?"

"Elder Jinchi also had it, why didn't the Bodhisattva protect him?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva lowered her head and recited another sentence. "Amituofo." Her eyes were compassionate, as if sighing.

"Do you know my painstaking efforts? Nezha has too much murder in him, and I wanted to use Buddha Dharma to transform him."

"Bodhisattva." Tang An blocked Guanyin Bodhisattva's words, "I, Tang An, only know that without cause, there is no effect."

"Besides, he is a God of Slaughter. Without murder, how can one talk about a God of Slaughter? Without murder, how could he have been the vanguard in the Investiture of the Gods war back then?"

In short, Tang An followed one principle: my disciple is not wrong; don't interfere, interfering is just being protective.

"Amituofo, put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot."

"Oh!" Tang An dropped the stick in her hand, "So Bodhisattva, you just wanted to poach someone, why go through so much trouble."

"However, if you want to poach Nezha, does the Saint Nuwa know? Does the Jade Emperor agree?"

Isn't it just reporting backings? Which of her disciples doesn't have a backing?

Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed and shook her head helplessly.

After all, the people Tang An brought out were not people she, a Guanyin Bodhisattva, could afford to offend.

"Amituofo." Guanyin Bodhisattva stopped preaching and asked Tang An, "Since you accepted my kasaya, why don't you wear it?"

Tang An stood up from in front of the campfire, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, the reason I accepted the Brocade Kasaya was merely to clear these two tribulations today."

"I am the Destined One, but I have no wisdom root and have no intention of entering the Buddhist sect."

"I am naturally fond of eating meat and cannot live without it. I also have seven emotions and six desires, greed, anger, and ignorance."

"So, please take back this kasaya, Bodhisattva." Tang An was clearly refusing to enter Buddhism.

A look of displeasure flashed in Guanyin Bodhisattva's eyes, but with Nezha and the other three watching covetously on the side, she couldn't easily flare up.

Tang An continued: "I won't enter this Buddhist sect. But I won't be lazy or slack off on this Westward Journey project."

"After all, I haven't tried what it tastes like when the pie drawn by the Bodhisattva is actually held in my hand."

"So, you can rest assured about this Westward Journey; I will definitely lead the three of them to finish it."

"Amituofo." Seeing that Tang An's temperament was tough and she was unwilling to enter the Buddhist sect, Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't try to persuade her anymore and left.

However, she didn't take away the Brocade Kasaya either.

Once Guanyin Bodhisattva left, Nezha, Wukong, and Yang Jian all came out.

One had bear paws strung in his hand, one had fish strung in his hand, and one was leading a fox and a dog.

Look, who said you can't have both fish and bear paw. As long as you find good disciples, fish and bear paw are never lacking.

The master and three disciples sat around the campfire, chatting and laughing; the scene was so warm.

Jiuyue watched the master and three disciples from the side, the firelight reflected in her eyes. It seemed she wanted to touch that warmth, but she also discovered that she hadn't truly integrated into them.

She lay on the ground listlessly, her claws scratching the grass, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Xiangrui." Tang An came over with a grilled fish in her hand, "Here, for you."

Jiuyue looked up at Tang An; she was smiling so sweetly, her eyes like crescent moons.

She hurriedly climbed up from the ground, wiped her claws on her body, and then went to take the grilled fish Tang An gave her.

Tang An patted her head, "Eat slowly, there's more after you finish."

Jiuyue nodded, tossed the grilled fish with her claws, raised her neck, and caught it in her mouth.

"Come on, together."

Jiuyue's big eyes were pleasantly surprised, and she unconsciously transformed into human form.

This time, Jiuyue was no longer dressed in that seductive style, but in white clothes, wearing a white dress with arrow sleeves, looking clean, fair, and even a bit obedient.

Compared to her previous seductive appearance, she looked more like a little sister from next door.

"Is it okay?"

"Of course it's okay." Tang An seemed very satisfied with Jiuyue's outfit, "This is better, even better looking."

How could she not know that foxes are used to seducing people.

When she first met Jiuyue, she used seductive means. But at this moment, this was Jiuyue's true form.

It seems her soft-touch policy worked.

The master and three disciples, a fox and a dog, surrounded the campfire, very lively.

Tang An opened the map and looked at the place they were going to pass through ahead.

"Gao Lao Zhuang."

Tang An looked at Sun Wukong; his famous segment of Zhu Bajie carrying his wife came from this tribulation.

The dignified Marshal Tianpeng was demoted to the mortal world for molesting Chang'e and fell into becoming a pig demon.

But since it was to pass the eighty-one tribulations, he wasn't Marshal Tianpeng; he could only be a pig demon.

"Everyone sleep, we set off tomorrow for Gao Lao Zhuang."

Actually, the only one who needed to sleep was Tang An.

This was the wilderness, and there were no beds. She could only use the ground as a bed and the sky as a quilt, living this pitiful budget-travel life.

"Master, Jiuyue can keep you warm."

Jiuyue transformed into her original form, but it was several times larger than her original form.

She lay on the ground and curled up her body, letting Tang An nest in her arms to sleep. And she used two of her nine tails as a quilt to cover Tang An.

"Our family's Xiangrui is so thoughtful." Tang An nested in her arms, it couldn't be more comfortable.

No golden nest or silver nest or Simmons mattress could compare to Jiuyue's nest.

"Don't call me Master in the future, call me Sister."

"Okay, Sister."

Amidst the sweet "Sister" calls, Tang An happily entered dreamland.

It turned out her life could still be so dreamy, fulfilling, and beautiful.

Several days later, Gao Lao Zhuang.

Before they even reached the foot of the mountain, Sun Wukong and the others saw demon aura soaring into the sky from far away.

Tang An looked into the distance and asked curiously: "What does demon aura look like?"

She didn't have Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, nor did she open her Heavenly Eye, nor did she achieve Sanctification of the Meat Body, so she didn't know what demon aura should look like.

Yang Jian explained: "Demon aura is divided into different colors and is not uniform."

"The demon aura in front of us is yellow."

Yellow?!

That must be Zhu Ganglie, no doubt.

"Let's go, let's be demon catchers for once."

Tang An and her three disciples went down the mountain all the way and arrived at Gao Lao Zhuang at the foot of the mountain.

Just as they found the foot of the mountain, they saw a notice board set up in the village, looking for capable people to catch demons for the manor.

"Is this the home of Gao Yuanwai and Gao Cuilan?"

The servant of the manor looked at Tang An; although her skirt was casual and she wore a high ponytail, she was different from other boudoir ladies.

But no matter how you looked at it, she wasn't a character who could subdue demons.

"So what if it is? Little girl, move aside, don't block the experts from taking the notice."

Before Tang An could speak, Nezha's expression changed, killing intent filled his eyes, and a strong wind rose.

"You dare to bully my master?" ===== CHAPTER 20 =====
