Traveling through thousands of realms at the same time, I need to add some dark blue

Chapter 371 Fourth Sister
The second sister originally wanted to lead Zhu Bajie into the Spider Cave, and wait for the magic weapon to gradually take effect and confuse Zhu Bajie's mind. Then she could capture him and hand him over to her mother. But now she doesn't dare to do that and just runs away.

However, the clue to the Great Sage's aptitude lies in the old spider spirit. Even without her guidance, the group will naturally not let it go and will still have to go into the cave to investigate.

But, before that...

"So, what is the origin of that old spider spirit? Tell us everything you can."

"This... Hey." Zhu Bajie originally wanted to fool him, but Gu Meng, this great master who appeared out of nowhere, was no easier to deal with than the little monkey, so he still said something.

"The current owner of this Pansi Cave is called Zi Zhu'er. She was also a fairy in the sky. We are old acquaintances, but she later became a demon and embarked on an evil path. During the Journey to the West, my senior brother asked me to kill the seven spider demons. I killed her six sisters, but I spared her life out of pity..."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute. You killed her six sisters and she's still nice to you. That little spider spirit said there's more to you and her mother than that, right? Are you ruining her reputation again?"

"It was just a one-night stand... Let's not talk about that..." Bajie scratched his head, "I was planning to sneak into her banquet, say something nice to her in private, and trick her into telling me about that thing, but I didn't expect this girl to ruin my plans..."

Zhu Bajie didn’t say much, but he basically touched upon all the points and verified Gu Meng’s previous guess.

Gu Meng still felt that it was definitely not just a one-night stand between them, there must be some true love between them. No, no, no, the grudge of killing his sister was something that even if Spider was cruel by nature and didn't take very seriously, even if he had to do it under the instructions of his leader, after all, it was Zhu Bajie who did it.

Moreover, Zhu Bajie is very confident that Zi Zhu'er will not really do anything to him. This is not just a little bit of emotion, but a very deep emotion. However, there is no need to ask more specific questions.

"OK, it looks like the situation is still under your control, so let's go straight to their lair."

So the three of them jumped into the Spider Cave from the entrance of Zhu Family Courtyard. The entrance was quite deep, and there was a web underneath, which was a trap. Most people who went down for the first time would not be able to react and would easily be entangled in the web and unable to break free. But Gu Meng had already seen them and flew over with the little monkey in his hand. Bajie could transform into wind himself, and had thick skin and flesh, so there was no need to worry about him.

Gu Meng noticed that the other spider spirit quietly left the vicinity at this time. Emm... Was she originally planning to wait for the trap to be triggered and then find an opportunity to catch someone? Not really. Gu Meng felt that she had no ill intentions.

"These bugs are really more sinister than me, an old pig."

When Zhu Bajie complained, Gu Meng looked around and nodded slowly: "Tsk, I see."

"Huh? What did you find?"

"Nothing. I felt something was wrong when I arrived at Lanxi Village. I could see more clearly when I entered the cave. There is a formation of considerable size in this mountain. I felt that the aura here was a little off. So this is it."

Gu Meng originally thought that the spiritual energy hidden nearby that was used to set up the formation was a trap targeting the man of destiny, or maybe the business of the Zhu family spider spirit had already reached the heaven, and it was the master in the sky who was protecting the industrial park.

Now it seems that protecting the industry is right, but the weaving factory is one thing, and it is also a monster breeding farm.

Among these insect monsters, apart from the spider spirits that can still produce value, I'm afraid many of them are... hybrid experiments and prepared materials for elixirs?

No wonder the little demons said that the spider spirit cannot leave Pansiling to discuss business, and must allow outsiders to come here to trade. It seems that the formation here controls all insect demons indiscriminately, and they are probably also worried that the experimental products will leak out and cause trouble.

Perhaps the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord, the mastermind behind the scenes that Gu Meng guessed, was just a chess piece that was controlled by others and whose freedom was often restricted. If he was really the mastermind, how could he set up such a formation against insect monsters? Not as good as Huang Mei.

Huang Mei pretended to be the Buddha and belittled Buddhism, saying that Tathagata was talking nonsense. He wanted to say those things himself, at least they were genuine. Even if there was some dark force behind him, they would not dare to instigate him to be so bold. Moreover, everything Huang Mei did seemed to show that he wanted to be the boss and establish a new Western Paradise.

Tsk, a boy with such high spirits. Gu Meng began to reflect on why he was so timid before. There were obviously many clues to judge and compare Huang Mei's strength, but he was still scared.

Not to mention Huang Mei, Gu Meng is very familiar with biological experiments like the Pansy Cave, and has done it many times in various fields. After taking over Huang Mei's business, Gu Meng of the Black Myth also did a little bit of it. Several floors of the pagoda prison in Xiao Xitian were rearranged by him to raise ferocious beasts and accommodate evil spirits.

However, the things he raises for making pills are generally not rational, so he feels at ease eating them. Many monsters here, like spider spirits, are obviously highly intelligent creatures, some are good and some are evil. From this point of view, this god is not very particular.

I still hope that they just kill some monsters with not much intelligence to eat, that would be better... Gu Meng couldn't say whether he was mentally a human or a monster now. Most likely he was still a human, but compared to the normal Gu Meng, he was more like a monster.

There are some monsters in Xiaoxitian that kill people and even eat people. Gu Meng did not kill all of them. He had to distinguish their situations. Those who ate people to fill their stomachs before gaining wisdom were counted separately, while those who only ate evil people were not allowed to eat them in the future.

Fortunately, apart from the new ones, there are very few sober little demons. Most of them are mentally confused little demons under the influence of Huang Mei. That's fine, all the bad karma can be placed on Huang Mei alone. He is the blame for everything in Xiao Xitian, and the merits of other demons will not be deducted.

In the future, rules and prohibitions will be set. Xiao Xitian will follow the path of cultivation that does not eat humans, and further punishment will not be considered as killing without teaching - there are many demon cultivators like this, those who eat will continue to eat, and those who don't eat will never eat. Xiao Xitian also has such demons.

……

While Zhu Bajie was asking Gu Meng what he saw here, the group continued to move forward.

Gu Meng noticed that the Man of Destiny was absorbing spiritual essence at a fairly fast speed to improve his cultivation while beating the little demon... This must be the protagonist. Perhaps it was also because his aptitude was perfectly integrated into the Man of Destiny's body and played its own role, allowing the Man of Destiny to regain the power that the Great Sage deserved.

Gu Meng also intended to let Tianmingren practice martial arts more and become stronger quickly.

Zhu Bajie just felt that Gu Meng was being lazy, but in fact he was also being lazy... No, he was not working hard, maybe he wanted to give the man of destiny more training.

Fortunately, the little monkey is leveling up by killing monsters, while I, Gu Meng, am cultivating immortality by cheating. I am not envious of him, as everyone has a bright future.

There are really a lot of insect monsters here. Some of them are normal. Centipedes, for example, are just bigger in size, a bit like interstellar Zerg. As monsters, they are actually quite normal.

There are many human bones around the centipede. The little demon said that the insect demons threw the greedy people who came to steal the Zhu family's weaving secret recipe here to feed them. In every aspect, it feels like a normal demon.

After killing the centipede, Gu Meng also rescued a horse demon from a pile of insect eggs. It was considered a familiar demon. Gu Meng had seen that his cultivation was quite good before and had chatted with him in Xiao Xitian. He was also brainwashed at the beginning.

After Huang Mei was defeated by Tian Ming Ren, Gu Meng accepted the power and asked him if he wanted to stay in Xiao Xi Tian as a leader after he woke up. He said he had important things to do. I didn't expect to see him again in Pan Si Cave. Tian Ming Ren also knew him, and the horse demon thanked Tian Ming Ren again. It seems that he had met Tian Ming Ren not only in Xiao Xi Tian and Pan Si Cave, but also in other demon kings' territories before.

The horse demon called himself Ma Tianba, a subordinate of King Dali. He said that King Dali was in trouble, so he came to the territories of various demon kings to ask for help.

Wait a minute, Hercules—What is Love?

Okay, Gu Meng heard it wrong. It’s not that Strong King, but the Strong Bull Demon King.

"I finally understand. It's better to rely on myself than on others. The Black Wind King is totally unreliable. The Yellow Wind Great Sage can't protect himself. The Yellow Eyebrow Buddha is just a name. Pansi Ridge is in this state now. I'd better go back to Huoyan Mountain to save the king myself."

The horse demon said he had given up, but his tone was not depressed. Instead, he sounded heroic, like a real man.

With his own abilities, it would be difficult for him to resolve the crisis that trapped the Bull Demon King. He was doing something he knew was impossible.

"I don't know what kind of person Bull Demon King is. I've only heard rumors about him in Journey to the West. But I can see that you are a loyal and righteous man. How about this? You stay nearby for a few days. When this matter is settled, I will go with you to take a look when I am free."

"Thank you, my king. Thank you, my king."

Ma Tianba was overjoyed. When Xiao Xitian recruited him, he had seen Gu Meng's demonic power. He was a great demon king with monstrous demonic power. His cultivation was even higher than Huang Mei's. He could suppress people so much that they could not breathe. With his help, the danger of Flame Mountain could be resolved.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Ma Tianba wanted to help Gu Meng and Tianmingren.

"No... uh, help us go to the upper level and ask those insect monsters. Write down any information you have."

"okay."

……

In addition to centipedes and other ordinary insect monsters, some monsters are obviously abnormally developed. They are not local insect monsters and are probably from other places. Moreover, many insects are surprisingly disgusting and look like aliens.

There was one insect demon that looked like the right hand of a powerful Buddhist cultivator. After it was killed, it left behind a bone mirror, which was the mirror that the little demons in Wushan had mentioned before.

Gu Meng had never heard of its origin, but Zhu Bajie said that it was a precious mirror with stories and legends. Originally it had a set of twelve mirrors, but many of them have been lost now.

Zhu Bajie took a picture and it showed the appearance of Marshal Tianpeng, handsome guy. Gu Meng took a picture of himself and there was no change... This shows that his true foundation cannot be revealed by ordinary magic weapons, which makes sense.

A little demon who has lived for a long time said that the Buddha's hand was moved into a cave by a Taoist priest one day, and later worms grew on the hand.

Maybe the Taoist dismembered the owner of the Buddha's hand, or maybe just the arm was broken and the person was not dead. Gu Meng couldn't tell.

Gu Meng could only see that the Buddhist cultivation of the owner of the Buddha's hand was higher than that of Zhu Bajie, the altar purifier who had already achieved enlightenment and was equal to a Bodhisattva. Even if Zhu Bajie had the foundation of being an immortal, his Buddha power was not fake after he experienced the Journey to the West and was personally conferred by the Buddha. The owner of this hand was either a real Buddha or a Bodhisattva with more experience.

Among the Bodhisattvas in Journey to the West, Guanyin, Ksitigarbha, Manjusri and Samantabhadra, the four great Bodhisattvas representing great compassion, great vows, great wisdom and great deeds, are the face of the great religions. Although they are not Buddhas, anyone with a discerning eye knows that their status is still higher than that of ordinary Buddhas.

Especially Guanyin, her presence in Journey to the West is very high, second only to the five masters and apprentices. Personally, I feel that her presence is even higher than Sha Seng and Xiao Bailong. If something really happens, it should make a big fuss.

The other powerful Bodhisattva, the Peacock King Bodhisattva, has a less positive image. In Journey to the West, it is said that after Tathagata was swallowed, he escaped from the back of a peacock and wanted to kill the man-eating beast, but was stopped by a group of ancient Buddhas who said it was unethical. They asked Tathagata to recognize the peacock as his stepmother. This Bodhisattva is not discussed here.

The Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta has profound magical powers and is the right attendant of the Supreme Buddha Amitabha. Even if he is not as good as the left attendant Guanyin, he should not be much worse than Amitabha and the other three Western Holy Ones... It's hard to say, who knows what the setting of him is in this world. In Journey to the West, the Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta is just a cameo role, and his role is far less than that of Manjushri, Samantabhadra and Ksitigarbha, who appear on screen by riding a mount.

Maitreya, the future Buddha, is the future Buddha, Schrödinger's Buddha. In fact, he can also be considered a Bodhisattva, and Xiao Xitian has seen him.

Among the other powerful Bodhisattvas, the National Master Wang Bodhisattva is relatively famous in the demon world because he is very good at subduing demons and eliminating monsters. However, Gu Meng could not remember what he did specifically in Journey to the West, so he probably did not play much of a role.

Gu Meng remembered that Lingji Bodhisattva had helped Wukong twice. Once, he used the Flying Dragon Staff to subdue the Yellow Wind Monster in Huangfeng Ridge, and once he borrowed the Wind-Fixing Pill to restrain the Banana Fan. He was very powerful, a nemesis of wind, and Tianming Man had encountered him in Huangfeng Ridge before.

It is possible that it is Bodhisattva Vimala. Her family is the nemesis of insects. They helped Wukong and subdued the Hundred-Eyed Demon King with the golden needle made from her son's Sun Eye.

The last three Bodhisattvas are original characters in Journey to the West (note), while Wukong’s Fighting Buddha has a source. They are not so famous, so it makes sense that they were killed.

Could it be that this multi-eyed monster was so bold that he escaped from control and killed Bodhisattva Vimala?

The formation of Pansiling looks like a fairy formation. The Hundred-Eyed Demon King has been recruited by the Heavenly Court, right? With this background, it is hard to say. After all, this is a black myth, and it may have added a lot of dark and cruel settings.

After Gu Meng studied these alien insects, he found out that they were all experimental products. It was probably that some insect eggs with extraordinary potential were planted in various flesh and blood. Most of them were left to develop on their own and grew into various alien insects. Only a few eggs showed signs of interference... These eggs probably had a higher quality maternal source.

The technique is really rough. Was it done by the spider spirit or the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord? In this regard, meeting Gu Meng, a mating master, is like a primary school student meeting a professor-level figure. This is Gu Meng's amazing wisdom.

If it were Gu Menglai, how could he have made so many weird failures, and there would be no potential. If he were to pollute and demonize them for a few hundred years, the Zerg would probably be able to capture the Heavenly Palace. How could they be so weak?

During this period, the spider spirit that Gu Meng had been keeping an eye on approached several times again. Sometimes it wanted to pull out the sealing talisman, perhaps wanting to take advantage of the chaos when the Destiny Man entered the cave to see if there was a chance to regain freedom. Sometimes it secretly left some instructions, as if it was afraid that the Destiny Man would get lost.

The other little demons call her Fourth Grandma... I see, the Fourth wants to seize power and take over the position of Chairman of Pansiling Co., Ltd.! (No)
