Chapter 131

The reason Bodhisattva Lingji was so anxious was not that he wanted to save the Yellow Wind Monster; he was so anxious because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to catch the merit.

"Dharma Master Xuanzang, this Yellow Wind Monster is handed over to you to deal with." Sun Wukong threw the heavily injured Yellow Wind Monster before Xuanzang.

"The Samadhi Divine Wind is a supernatural power of Little Sumeru Mountain. Are you a subordinate of Lingji?" Xuanzang sat on a rock in front of the Yellow Wind Cave and asked flatly.

After hearing Xuanzang's words, a smile appeared on the Yellow Wind Monster's face. He wasn't afraid that these people would kill him at all. Bodhisattva Lingji had said that when necessary, he would make a move to save him.

"That is correct!" The Yellow Wind Monster said proudly.

"What did Lingji tell you to do here? To be my enemy?" Xuanzang said with a smile.

He could actually kill the Yellow Wind Monster directly, but Xuanzang didn't do so. First, he wanted to get some information from the Yellow Wind Monster's mouth. Second, it was to wait for Lingji. As for why he had to wait for him, only Xuanzang knew.

"I don't know!" Seeing Xuanzang ask like this, the Yellow Wind Monster hurriedly shook his head.

"Is it that you don't know, or you don't want to say?" Xuanzang bent down and looked at the Yellow Wind Monster.

"I don't know. I ran out secretly, and then by chance, I became the king of the mountain here!" The Yellow Wind Monster rolled his eyes and said.

Guanyin had said that the Golden Cicada of this life was a bit strange, so he must not let the reincarnation of Golden Cicada know that Spirit Mountain was obstructing his journey west. Otherwise, the consequences would be very serious. This was also the reason why the Yellow Wind Monster said this now.

"Is that so?" Xuanzang sat up straight.

The next second, Xuanzang directly stepped on and crushed the Yellow Wind Monster's palm. To prevent the Yellow Wind Monster from suddenly attacking, Sun Wukong had sealed his magic power after heavily injuring him.

So when Xuanzang crushed the Yellow Wind Monster's palm, he let out a shrill scream. But just as this scream was shouted out, Xuanzang slapped him, making the Yellow Wind Monster swallow his scream into his stomach.

"Can you say it now? What did Lingji put you here to do?" Xuanzang looked at the Yellow Wind Monster with a smile.

"I don't know. I am a yellow-haired mink at the foot of Spirit Mountain. Because I stole and drank the lamp oil of the Glazed Lamp, I was caught by the Buddha. The Buddha felt that my life shouldn't end, so he handed me over to Bodhisattva Lingji. I ran out secretly while Bodhisattva Lingji was cultivating." The Yellow Wind Monster endured the pain and said again.

"Alright!" The smile on Xuanzang's face did not diminish.

*Ah*—

The next second, the arm of the Yellow Wind Monster whose palm had been crushed shot into the sky. Xuanzang raised his hand and slapped, directly shattering the arm that shot into the sky, then operated his magic power, and the bleeding on the Yellow Wind Monster's shoulder stopped immediately.

"You have three more chances. After three chances, I will take your head." Xuanzang said with a smile.

"Bodhisattva, this is completely different from what you said!" At this time, the Yellow Wind Monster had already started wailing in his heart.

"Speak, what did Lingji put you here to do?" Xuanzang looked at the Yellow Wind Monster and asked again.

From the Guanyin Zen Temple to Mount Futu, Xuanzang felt that they had encountered quite a lot of things on this journey. When he saw the Yellow Wind Monster, a guess faintly appeared in Xuanzang's heart, so he wanted to prove it to the Yellow Wind Monster.

"Not saying?" Seeing the Yellow Wind Monster not speaking, Xuanzang smiled. His smile was very bright.

"Do you think you won't be punished if you don't say?" Xuanzang said.

The next second, the Yellow Wind Monster's left leg below the knee flew up. Xuanzang raised his hand and shook, and this left leg turned directly into fly ash.

"You have two more chances!" Xuanzang said flatly.

"I don't know, I really don't know, really don't know!" The Yellow Wind Monster roared in pain.

"Dharma Master Xuanzang, perhaps this Yellow Wind Monster really is just like he said, that he ran out secretly?" Ao Mo'ang couldn't bear it anymore.

He could kill people, but he couldn't torture people, so he spoke up.

"I don't believe it!" Xuanzang looked at Ao Mo'ang and said flatly.

Seeing Xuanzang like this, Ao Mo'ang knew he had no way to persuade him, so he turned his gaze to Sun Wukong.

"Don't look at me. I think Dharma Master Xuanzang is doing the right thing. I also don't believe this Yellow Wind Monster ran out secretly." Sun Wukong stood on Xuanzang's side.

"Still not saying?" Xuanzang squatted beside the Yellow Wind Monster.

That indifferent expression matched with a big bald head, plus Xuanzang's sturdy body—the impact was not generally large.

"Since you won't say, then I'm going to make a move!" Xuanzang stood up and said.

"Stop!" Just as Xuanzang was about to make a move, a loud shout came from afar.

"Finally here! I thought you would just watch this Yellow Wind Monster get killed." Xuanzang turned his head to look at the figure flying from the sky and muttered to himself.

After a few breaths, Bodhisattva Lingji appeared before Xuanzang. When he saw the state of the Yellow Wind Monster clearly, his brow immediately furrowed, and his expression also became a bit gloomy.

"Xuanzang, this poor monk needs an explanation!" Bodhisattva Lingji looked at Xuanzang, his voice cold.

"Explanation? I also want an explanation. You put this Yellow Wind Monster here to block me?" Xuanzang looked at Bodhisattva Lingji and said.

Hearing Xuanzang say this, Bodhisattva Lingji's eyes flickered slightly.

"This evil beast ran out secretly while this poor monk was cultivating. After this poor monk discovered it, I rushed over immediately." Bodhisattva Lingji looked at Xuanzang and said flatly.

"A monk does not tell lies. Do you dare to swear? If you swear, I will give you an explanation!" A look of mockery appeared on Xuanzang's face.

After hearing Xuanzang's words, the aura on Bodhisattva Lingji's body became disordered, and even his breathing became a bit hurried.

Everyone present was a cultivator, and they discovered Bodhisattva Lingji's change at the first moment. A look of realization appeared on Sun Wukong's face, the Great Peng's face didn't have much expression, and a look of surprise flashed across Ao Mo'ang's face.

He didn't expect Dharma Master Xuanzang to be right. This Yellow Wind Monster was actually specially placed here by the West.

"This poor monk doesn't have time to mess around with you here. Hurry up and hand the Yellow Wind Monster to this poor monk, and then take your disciple and go west." Bodhisattva Lingji tried to change the subject.

"Good!" Xuanzang nodded.

Hearing Xuanzang's words, everyone turned their heads toward Xuanzang. In their eyes were incomprehension and doubt, as well as a trace of surprise.

A look of relief appeared on the Yellow Wind Monster's face, and a smug smile appeared on Bodhisattva Lingji's face.

But the next second, the smugness on Bodhisattva Lingji's face turned into astonishment!

Because Xuanzang raised his hand and directly smashed the Yellow Wind Monster's head: "I just promised you to hand this Yellow Wind Monster to you, but I didn't say whether it was dead or alive, right?"

"Xuanzang, you are bullying people too much!" Looking at the already dead Yellow Wind Monster, the anger in Bodhisattva Lingji's heart could finally no longer be suppressed.

He beckoned, and the Flying Dragon Treasure Staff appeared in his hand: "Let me teach you a good lesson on behalf of the Buddha!"

Xuanzang didn't move; he didn't even blink his eyes. He just looked at Bodhisattva Lingji, who was rushing over, with a mocking expression.

Rushing to Xuanzang's side, Bodhisattva Lingji raised the Flying Dragon Treasure Staff in his hand. Just as the Flying Dragon Treasure Staff was about to fall, the Great Peng appeared before Bodhisattva Lingji.

"Do you take us for dead?" The Great Peng looked at Bodhisattva Lingji with disdain.

"Do you take the two of us for dead too?" Sun Wukong and Ao Mo'ang also stood before Xuanzang.

Xuanzang didn't speak. He sat directly on the big rock just now, and then he just looked at Bodhisattva Lingji, the mocking smile on his face never disappearing from beginning to end.
