Everyone tacitly avoided mentioning the incident just now, as if Lin Fang’s words had never existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day, as Lin Fang left his retreat, the eldest disciple of Juxian Temple broke through his realm. Jieyang Mountain, once in disarray due to the great battle, was gradually returning to normal. For this reason, True Immortal Ruyi generously arranged a vegetarian feast to celebrate, and also to bid farewell to Lin Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I know where Fellow Taoist Lin Fang is heading next?\" True Immortal Ruyi suddenly asked after a satisfying meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no fixed abode and will go wherever my heart takes me. If nothing unexpected happens, I plan to head west again, to see Flame Mountain,\" Lin Fang replied softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had reached a bottleneck in his practice of Samadhi True Fire and hoped to take advantage of the unique conditions of Flame Mountain to take his Dharma Technique to the next level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Immortal Ruyi glanced at Lin Fang, and was not surprised by his choice; his nephew was an expert in the Fire Technique, so he naturally understood the allure of Flame Mountain for practitioners of such methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then took out a letter and said, \"In that case, I have a letter here that I hope you can deliver to my brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your brother is?\" Even though Lin Fang knew, he still asked, as this was a private matter. Given the stark difference between the brothers’ temperaments, it’d be hard for anyone to connect him with the Supreme Sage Bull Demon King without True Immortal Ruyi mentioning it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A proud look appeared on True Immortal Ruyi’s face as he said, \"My brother is none other than the Supreme Sage, the Great Strength Bull Demon King. He currently resides on Emerald Cloud Mountain, having married Princess Rakshasa. You can find him there. My brother is generous and values loyalty; knowing that you are delivering a letter for me, he will certainly not treat you unfairly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughing, Lin Fang took the letter and said, \"I didn’t realize you came from such an extraordinary background.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alas, my brother and I have divergent temperaments, which often leads to awkwardness when we’re together. That’s why I chose to retreat from the world and live here. But having been away for so long, I do miss him. You practice Samadhi True Fire and naturally seek Flame Mountain to cultivate divine skills. It’s a pity my nephew fell prey to that monkey’s antics; otherwise, he could have offered you some advice,\" True Immortal Ruyi said with a hint of regret, showing he was quite fond of his nephew—otherwise, he wouldn’t have become an enemy of Sun Wukong, nearly costing him his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Fang was inwardly critical—if Red Boy had not been enlightened by Guanyin, he wouldn’t have let this brat instruct him, which would be akin to embracing a bomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, fellow Taoist. I will make sure this letter reaches your brother,\" Lin Fang said with a bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, I quite fancied the warm quality of the green stone from the walls of Po’er Cave. I wonder if you would be willing to part with some?\" Lin Fang changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Immortal Ruyi paused, recalling the cave walls which seemed warm but otherwise unremarkable. He wondered why Lin Fang would want them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, he quickly agreed to Lin Fang’s request. After all, the stones were not valuable, and it wouldn’t pain him to give them away. If Lin Fang had asked for something else, he might have been more reluctant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure Lin Fang kept his word, True Immortal Ruyi promptly led him to the cave, where Lin Fang unhesitatingly summoned the Glazed Pagoda and took the stones with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, True Immortal Ruyi examined the item repeatedly, but no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be just an ordinary stone. Aside from looking somewhat nicer and feeling slightly warm, it had no special features. He finally felt at ease, knowing it wasn’t a treasure—his heart wouldn’t ache as much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching True Immortal Ruyi’s relieved appearance, Lin Fang revealed a knowing smile and then parted ways with him, mounting his auspicious cloud and heading west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he left Maiden’s Country when he saw what appeared to be a team of Buddhist Soldiers in the distance. It seemed their destination was likely the hidden Maiden’s Country. It looked as though the Buddhist Sect wasn’t willing to leave even this place alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, he concealed his presence and slowly made his way towards Emerald Screen Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emerald Cloud Mountain resembled a barrier with its lush vegetation and beautiful scenery, thus earning the name Emerald Screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than a thousand miles from there lay the famous Flame Mountain, where the flames stirred up by the wind still felt somewhat scorching even after reaching this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang ascended the mountain slowly, only to see flowers scattered all over and dense foliage. A winding mountain path led straight to the summit where the green stone steps were spotless and neatly arranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woodcutter, with an axe tied to his waist and carrying firewood on his shoulder, ambled down from the mountaintop, singing a melodious mountain song that echoed through Emerald Cloud Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder brother, hold on a moment, I’d like to ask for directions!\" Lin Fang called out with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woodcutter was friendly too, and stopped his steps to ask Lin Fang, \"What can I do for you, young master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without hiding it from elder brother, I intend to go to Banana Cave. I only know it’s in this mountain but not the exact location. As elder brother chops wood in the mountain all year round, you must be well-informed. I would appreciate it if you could tell me a bit more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, I see. Since you’re looking for Banana Cave, nine out of ten chances you’re seeking the Tieshan Immortal, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, indeed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, Banana Cave isn’t far from here. Just follow the stone stairs all the way up, turn left at the end, and when you see a large green boulder, turn right. Then you’ll catch sight of Banana Cave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, if you’re coming to request rain, I’m afraid you might return empty-handed.\" The woodcutter kindly warned him, since nine out of ten people who came here to find the Tieshan Immortal did so to ask for rain, especially since Flame Mountain stood there, causing calamity for the common people within a thousand miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the protection of Tieshan Immortal, they probably wouldn’t have survived until now, and thus he assumed Lin Fang was also someone seeking rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Tieshan Immortal doesn’t offer her rain ritual for nothing; you need to prepare four pigs, four sheep, red fabrics inside and out, exotic fragrant fruits for the season, chickens, geese, fine wine, and then, with a bathed and sincere heart, request her to come out of her cave for it to be successful.\" The woodcutter laughed and explained the process, as it was quite a common scene on Emerald Cloud Mountain, so the people from the foothills knew it well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it is. I had thought Tieshan Immortal was benevolent and bestowed Sweet Rain to save the common people from fire and water.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, where would capping headwear fall from the sky? Being able to shelter the people, Tieshan Immortal is of boundless merit. The days we have are largely thanks to her,\" the woodcutter said, with much praise for the Tieshan Princess in his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, lately, this immortal seems to be in a bad mood, and there have already been quite a few who were turned away. Little brother, you’d better be mentally prepared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No worries, I haven’t come empty-handed; I have something to knock on the door with,\" replied Lin Fang with a smile as he thanked the woodcutter.\u003C\u002Fp>",1397,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.781Z",1,"novelbin.me","8b97e9cb0763419566cabfb058d7c4d677cc1bab5bb011fd472cb01b8d4be7e7","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-114","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-112",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
