Black Myth: You and I are both destined

Tianming had a different view of the beautiful scenery before him.

He looked toward the top of the mountain.

"Is the monster you're talking about on the mountain?"

"of course not."

Zhu Bajie stomped on the ground twice with his big feet, causing stone chips to fly and the ground to crack.

A faint blue light seeps out from under the cracks.

"The monster we are talking about is down there right now."

"under?"

"Yes, he used a magic weapon to capture one of my Dharma bodies and locked it up down there, guarding it himself, so I couldn't beat him."

"Now that I have seen his magic weapon, you just need to turn into the eldest brother to scare him and make him hand over the key. When I get my Dharma body back, I will naturally find a way to deal with him."

Tianming remembered the black pig heads and copper locks he saw at the Soul-Holding Cliff. It seemed that this was the place where Zhu Bajie's Dharma body was imprisoned.

"I understand."

"Second Brother, I've been to that place. Now tell me what to do."

Zhu Bajie brushed the dust off his pants and walked towards the pavilion.

"Don't worry, it's daytime now, and this monster is in high spirits and hard to fool. You can go there at night."

"I just took this opportunity to tell you something."

Tianming followed.

"What are you talking about?"

Zhu Bajie entered the pavilion, fanned himself twice with a big fan, leaned against the pillar and told a story.

"This story begins with a man named Li Xiong from the upper realm."

"This Li Xiong is very capable, but his path to becoming a god is rather muddled."

"Perhaps he was dissatisfied with his official position, or he could not stand the life in the upper world. One day he had an affair with the maid Xiang Yu, and he wanted to go down to the mortal world and turned into a demon."

Tianming cursed: "Another bastard from the upper realm!"

"He is indeed a bastard from the upper realm..."

As soon as Bajie heard this, he felt something was wrong!

"You can scold me all you want, but why are you looking at me?"

He turned his head away angrily and continued telling the story.

"When he descended to the mortal world, he hid a relic of a sacred elixir in his mouth. He possessed powerful abilities and became a demon king!"

"The demon's residence is in the Boyue Cave in Wanzi Mountain ahead."

"He wasted some time going down there, and the jade girl has already been reborn as a princess in Baoxiang Kingdom, named Baihuaxiu."

"Li Xiong naturally didn't want to be forgotten by his lover, so he took Baihuaxiu into his cave and lived as husband and wife for thirteen years."

"I asked you to wait until night because he was on guard during the day. When he went back at night and had sex with the princess, he would be in a bad state of mind and would be easy to deceive."

According to Zhu Bajie, he wanted to wait until Li Xiong was drunk and then let Tianming dress up as Sun Wukong, so as to scare him and force him to hand over the key, release Zhu Bajie's Dharma body, and then Zhu Bajie would beat him to death.

But Tianming felt that this method was inappropriate. Although he didn't drink much, he knew that if a drunk person was severely frightened, he might not be scared away, because alcohol makes people brave. It was more likely that he would be frightened and sober up, which would be dangerous.

He decided to think of a solution himself, so he asked Zhu Bajie again.

"Is this Li Xiong that Second Senior Brother mentioned related to the Yellow-haired Marten Rat?"

"Of course they are related. The Yellow-haired Marten Rat and his men are only demon kings in public, while Li Xiong is the evil star behind the scenes!"

Tianming felt that the matter was too unusual. The yellow-haired sable dared to put its head on the body of Lingji Bodhisattva. This demon king who was not even afraid of the Bodhisattva was only in the open. Li Xiong was too powerful!

"Second Brother, I don't think this monster will be fooled by my appearance. I think we should ask the eldest brother for help."

Before Zhu Bajie could answer, Sha Wujing rushed over to stop him.

"Little brother, please don't bother with this matter. We want to ask for help from our senior brother, but it's really not appropriate to go now."

Zhu Bajie is angry!

"Junior Brother Sha, why are you interrupting me?!"

"Are you afraid that I, an old pig, will spill the beans and reveal what's going on in heaven?"

"Oh, I'll tell you if you won't let me!"

Zhu Bajie hugged Tianming and brought him towards the Dragon Girl.

"Come on, let us tell you a big secret."

"Second Brother, Second Brother! Don't talk nonsense!"

No matter how Sha Wujing tried to stop Zhu Bajie, he just did the opposite, pointing to the east in dissatisfaction.

"If they dare to do it, they won't be afraid of others always mentioning it."

"Let me tell you that there is a mountain of flowers and fruits in the country of Aolai in the east. It is the paradise of my senior brother."

"There is the Spirit Fruit Demon King up there, as well as my senior brother's 100,000 descendants."

"This time, because my senior brother killed the White Bone Demon, the master thought he had killed three people, blamed him, and drove him away."

"Brother, please don't continue talking!"

"Brother Sha, go away. You are so timid. You are afraid of them, but I am not. Even if Dhritarashtra comes, I will not give him the slightest face."

Zhu Bajie waved his black sleeves and pointed his finger towards the sky.

"As soon as my poor senior brother left, a streak of colorful stars streaked across the sky and landed in the direction of Huaguo Mountain."

"I think they sent heavenly soldiers to encircle and suppress Huaguo Mountain."

"Look, look, it was clearly these agents chosen by the gods and Buddhas who drove my senior brother away, but when my senior brother really left, they were not happy about it and threatened him with his own monkeys and grandchildren. What kind of thing is this?!"

At this moment, Tianming thought of the poem he heard when he first entered this area.

The hunter sang: It's a pity that the heroic general, who can't distinguish between the wise and the foolish, has his blood stained on the sand!

Isn’t the term “not being able to distinguish between the wise and the foolish” referring to Tang Monk?

For the three fake lives, he caused a war between the gods, Buddhas and Sun Wukong, and this time the casualties were real heavenly soldiers and generals and monkeys.

It's really 'What a blessing! What a blessing!'

No wonder Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing would rather use threats and bribes to bribe Tianming than ask their senior brother to come back for help. If they go there now, wouldn’t they be the same as those heavenly soldiers and generals?

"Second Brother, I understand."

"There is one thing I am not clear about. The statue of Lingji Bodhisattva has been replaced with a rat head. Do you know the reason for this?"

Zhu Bajie answered.

"How would I know? I'm busy seeking scriptures, how can I care about what's going on in heaven?"

When Sha Wujing saw Tianming looking at him, he shook his head in response.

"Second Brother is right."

At this moment, Princess Halloween handed Tianming a small note from behind.

Tianming held the note in his palm and glanced at it secretly.

"Princess Halloween is indeed smart. It is meaningless to use telepathy in front of powerful people. On the contrary, this primitive method can evade their eyes."

He immediately dropped the subject.

"Since you two brothers don't know about Lingji Bodhisattva, I won't ask. Let's take a rest and set off in the evening."

He secretly sighed that Princess Halloween was right and he was not cautious enough.

Tianming put away the note and remembered that he had read a book about Li Xiong, called "The Investiture of the Gods". There was a sentence describing Li Xiong like this.

'With three strands of whiskers one foot long, he has mastered the Three Flowers of Immortality. He has no desire to stay on the Penglai Island. He killed the general and was named Kuimu Wolf!'
