Journey to the West: Don’t mess with that monster

Juanlian’s face was full of sorrow and anger!

He looked at Zhang Qingdi hatefully. He couldn't beat the guy in front of him, and he couldn't scold him either.

Zhang Qingdi changed his mind and thought that this guy didn’t know that he was the chosen one to obtain the scriptures, so it was understandable that he felt this way.

"What if I say that you are the one who was chosen to obtain the scriptures?" Emperor Zhang Qing opened a layer of curtains.

This is the magic weapon given to him by Laojun.

Once the curtains are opened, no one can hear what is said inside.

"Am I a pilgrim?" Juanlian frowned.

This guy is definitely not a fool since he has been with the Jade Emperor for so long.

If he is a pilgrim...

That would be too much of a coincidence. There is always a big hand behind all the coincidences in the three realms.

"How long has old loach been dead?" asked Zhang Qingdi.

"Eleven years, five months and ten days!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingdi glanced at Juanlian. This guy remembered it very clearly.

Emperor Zhang Qing called Xiao Man out.

Xiaoman came out wearing a bright red robe with two golden dragons embroidered on it.

Zhang Qingdi remembered that there was only one dragon on the robes of the Ten Kings of Hell.

"Did you change your makeup?"

"Does it look good?"

"It's okay, he looks like an opera singer." Xiao Man was very dissatisfied with Zhang Qingdi's straight male aesthetic.

She waved her hand and returned to her original appearance.

"It's a lot easier to see now."

"What does the master want me to do?" Xiao Man asked, sounding a little angry.

"Eleven years..." Zhang Qingdi looked at the curtain.

Juanlian naturally hoped that Old Loach could be resurrected, but he was just overthinking about resurrection.

He quickly repeated the time when the old loach died.

Xiaoman noted the time and dived into the small flagpole.

"Can you revive him?"

"You are wishful thinking." Zhang Qingdi said.

"Then why are you asking these questions?" Juanlian shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Let's see what happened to his death." Zhang Qingdi said.

After a while, Xiaoman came out from the small flag.

"He has been reincarnated."

Juanlian was relieved to hear this. He couldn't help but ask, "Is the family he was reincarnated into a good one?"

"They are quite good, and they are a kind-hearted family." Xiao Man replied. "But the soul of the old loach has been replaced by someone else. If it had happened before, I might have been deceived too.

But now I see something is wrong.”

"What's wrong?" asked Zhang Qingdi.

"That soul is no longer the original old loach. What the man is using now is the skin of the old loach." Xiaoman said seriously.

Juanlian was somewhat skeptical.

If others can plot against him, then Zhang Qingdi can also plot against himself. So now he doesn't trust anyone.

"Why are you so sure?" Juanlian asked.

"If that old loach hadn't met the Green Emperor, he would have died long ago." Xiao Man didn't like the guy's tone, but still patiently explained. "These guys changed their fate because of meeting the Green Emperor.

Their souls are more solid than those of ordinary people.

And now the soul of the old loach is no different from that of an ordinary person."

Juanlian found it unbelievable after hearing this.

But he didn't know why, but he actually believed Xiaoman's explanation.

"I want to go and meet him. I'll know whether he is real or fake at a glance." Juanlian said seriously.

"Can you leave here?" asked Zhang Qingdi.

Juanlian naturally cannot leave the Liusha River, and the Jade Emperor will not give you a note of leave.

"Where is that guy?" asked Zhang Qingdi.

"A village three hundred miles away."

"It seems that the guy behind this is very confident in his methods." Zhang Qingdi said with a sneer.

Maybe the reincarnation of this fake loach will meet Juanlian and make him completely believe that this was just an ordinary accident.

"Find a way to let them meet." Zhang Qingdi muttered to himself.

"Leave it to me." Xiaoman said with a smile.

"Don't capture people's souls." Zhang Qingdi said helplessly.

"Don't worry." You can see that she thinks this is very funny.

"How come she is more majestic than the Ten Kings of Hell?"

"How do you see that she is majestic?" Zhang Qingdi couldn't help but ask.

"That's because your eyes are not good."

"Oh? At least my chest wasn't pierced by the flying sword, damaging my brain." Zhang Qingdi snorted coldly.

This guy actually dared to talk back.

In the evening, Xiaoman came back.

"That guy should be here in the next few days." Xiaoman said with a smile.

"What method did you use?" Zhang Qingdi asked worriedly.

"It hasn't rained in that town for three or four months. If it doesn't rain any more, the busy farming season will be over. I told them there's a river god here who is very effective, but he has certain requirements for the birthday of the person being worshipped."

Xiaoman can find out where he was reincarnated, so naturally she can also know his date of birth.

"The question is, can you make it rain?" Juanlian asked anxiously.

"No. That's why I said it was the god of the Liusha River who brought rain." Xiao Man said as a matter of course. "It's not me who will embarrass you."

Juanlian felt that whoever owned the magic weapon would have the same magic weapon!
"I will bring rain." Zhang Qingdi said. Juanlian looked at Zhang Qingdi expectantly, and he did not disappoint him. "But why should I help you?"

Emperor Zhang Qing removed the curtain and found a place to live beside the quicksand.

Two days later, a young man finally came.

He was carrying a lot of things, which were offerings to the river god by the people of the town.

I just pray to the river god to send down some rain...

This young man looked about the same as the old loach. Juanlian was worried that he would scare him if he came out, so he hid at the bottom of the river and watched him.

The young man carefully threw the offering into the river.

Soon they all sank to the bottom of the river.

He kowtowed three times to the Liusha River, then got up and left in a hurry.

The roller blinds never came out from beginning to end.

Zhang Qingdi appeared and stopped the young man, "Why are you here in the Quicksand River? This river is 800 miles long and there is no chance of survival if you fall into it."

"It has been a long time since it rained in our town. Everyone asked me to worship the river god on their behalf. As long as we offer sacrifices, it will rain."

"Do you believe it?"

"Me? Let's give it a try, just in case it works." The young man said with a smile.

"In that case, you threw all those offerings into the river, never thinking of keeping one or two for yourself?" Zhang Qingdi continued to ask.

"How can this be! We should be clean and honest!"

"You are not worthy to say that!" Juanlian jumped out of the river.

He looked so scary that the young man was immediately frightened. He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Grandpa River God, I shouldn't have been greedy and took those offerings.

I was really wrong... Please forgive me."

"Get out!" Juanlian cursed angrily.

The young man put down the two jade pendants hidden in his sleeves and ran away.

"He's not! He's not!"

"A good demon may not be a good person after reincarnation." Zhang Qingdi said.

"It's not because he has changed, but I can feel that he is not the old loach. Although he really looks like him, he is definitely not!" Juanlian said very seriously.

"I'm curious, how can you be so sure?" Zhang Qingdi asked puzzled.

"I have been with the Jade Emperor for so long, so of course I can do more than just roll up the door curtains." Juanlian did not explain.

Zhang Qingdi did not ask any more questions. Juanlian said, "Help me find out who wants to harm him."

"It can't be found." Zhang Qingdi shook his head and said.

"Of the two Taoists you killed, one was reincarnated five times, and the other was reincarnated six times." Xiaoman explained directly.

She has not been idle these two days.

“No one can find out now.”

"Then why don't we make a bold inference and ask who wants Old Loach to die the most?" Zhang Qingdi asked with a smile.

"Hui An! And... you!"

"Are you really having a problem with your brain?" Zhang Qingdi asked unhappily.

"You wouldn't come here for no reason. It's obvious that you're here for me." Juanlian looked into Zhang Qingdi's eyes and analyzed.

"Indeed." Zhang Qingdi admitted it directly.

"What do you want from me? It should be related to the matter at stake."

Zhang Qingdi felt that this guy's brain was sometimes good and sometimes bad.

This would be a very clear and logical analysis.

"Yes."

"You don't want me to go to the West to obtain the scriptures?"

"No."

"You want me to be a spy!" Juanlian asked.

"Almost. The main thing is to ask you to pass on some information to me." Zhang Qingdi did not deny it.

Anyway, he has the curtain with him, so he is not afraid. Even if Juanlian tells Hui'an and Zhang Qingdi about this, he doesn't care.

They will be the ones who will be in trouble then. They have to think about whether Juanlian is really surrendering or is just playing a self-torture trick with Zhang Qingdi.

"To be honest, I didn't expect Old Loach to say good things for me." Zhang Qingdi said.

"If he were here, I wouldn't go to seek the scriptures." Juanlian said seriously. "It's so nice to be in this Liusha River."

After he said that, he looked at Liusha River and felt a little sad.

"So it's possible that you killed him and did this on purpose."

Zhang Qingdi was speechless for a while, he seemed to have been plotted!
He waved his hand to take away the curtain and said to the curtain, "Whatever you want is up to you."

A few days later, the monk Hui'an came to look for Juanlian.

He was still somewhat worried, as the land nearby told him that Zhang Qingdi had been here before.

But he didn't know what happened exactly.

"Practitioner Hui'an, please tell the Bodhisattva that I want to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures!"

"I will tell the Bodhisattva about this for you. I heard that Zhang Qingdi came here a few days ago." Hui'an asked tentatively.

"He saved the old loach in this river before." Juanlian said everything. "He said the old loach died in a strange way, but he couldn't produce any evidence.

I didn’t believe him, so he beat me up and left.”

Hui'an looked at Juanlian's miserable face and felt that Zhang Qingdi was really cruel.

But he was still a little worried.

"The matter of obtaining the scriptures is of great importance. I am insignificant and my words are not influential. I can only help you advise the Bodhisattva. I cannot guarantee what the Bodhisattva will decide when the time comes." Hui'an said.

"It's not easy for you to give me a chance." Juanlian said with a smile.

After Hui'an left, a murderous look flashed across Juanlian's face!

It was him! He was the one who killed the old loach!
Don't worry, old loach! I won't let your death be in vain.

Juanlian didn't want to cooperate with Zhang Qingdi, but he still wanted to avenge Lao Niu.

Seeking the scriptures? Achieving enlightenment?
None of that matters!
Whether you are a human or a demon, you must keep your mind clean. (End of this chapter)
