Chapter 1003: Journey to the West Team +2

At the critical moment, the Black Bear Demon used the weapon in his hand to block his head. After being hit by Sun Wukong's stick, his heavy body leaned back and a lot of blood spurted out of the corner of his mouth.

The ground shook and the black bear demon no longer had the strength to resist. He could only clasp his hands together and beg for mercy from Xuanzang and others.

"Please spare my life, grandpas. I, Lao Hei, actually believe in Buddhism. We are all family. Please let me live!"

Xuanzang walked forward quickly, borrowed the sword from the little white dragon, and put it directly on the black bear's neck.

"You monster, you still dare to talk nonsense even now. I don't believe that you have never eaten anyone in your cultivation. Why don't you just wait and die!"

The black bear demon hurriedly shook his head and said, "Master, spare my life. I have lived for many years. Since I started practicing Buddhism, I have not eaten anyone for more than 8000 years. And I can swear that I will never eat anyone again!"

Xuanzang was too lazy to listen to the explanation and swung his sharp sword down fiercely. As a result... he didn't even cut the skin, but only scraped off a tuft of black hair.

It was a bit embarrassing at this time. Even though he was holding a high-quality mid-grade immortal weapon, his cultivation was too poor and he could not exert much power at all.

If you kill the black bear demon in the middle stage of Golden Immortal yourself, you will get a reward of 5000 million points.

It's a pity that my strength is not enough. It seems that I have to frantically think of ways to improve my cultivation during this period of time.

But now the old lady Guanyin will be here soon. If we don’t act quickly, this black bear will have to go to the South China Sea to become a mountain guardian god.

Just when I was about to ask Sun Wukong to kill the Black Bear Demon with a stick, I received new message from the deity.

It turned out that just now, the system released new task change news.

If you recruit monsters on the journey to the west as your subordinates, you can also get half of the killing reward points.

At this time, Sun Wukong's stick was already against the Black Bear's forehead, and he asked in a serious tone:

"Master, do you want me to kill him with a stick?"

Xuanzang hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, since Black Bear said he wants to convert to Buddhism, I will give him a chance. From today on, he will be your junior brother and will be responsible for carrying the luggage."

When the black bear demon heard that he didn't have to die, he kowtowed and called him "Master".

Guanyin, who had just arrived above this place, had a somewhat dark complexion.

He was the mountain guardian god she had reserved, but because he arrived a step late, he became a member of the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

In fact, among the team of people who went to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures, only Jin Chanzi and Sun Wukong were truly destined to succeed.

As for other members, they were added because of the interests of all parties.

Guanyin shook her head. Anyway, as long as the Black Bear Demon reached the West in the future, she would have a way to recruit him into her own army. At most, she would give him a higher position, but he would still have to guard the Purple Bamboo Forest.

As the Black Bear Demon became Xuanzang's new disciple, Xiao Zhen, who was far away in heaven, naturally also received the news of the points being credited.

"My Lord, what are you laughing at?"

Yang Chan had just calculated the consumption of medicinal materials for today and looked at her boss who was drinking tea with confusion.

Xiao Zhen waved his hand and said, "Xiao Chan, I feel a little hot in my heart recently. Go to the medicine storehouse and get me a few thousand-year-old ice silkworms. I want to take them back to make soup."

As a fair and strict deputy, Yang Chan rejected this behavior that violated the laws of heaven on the spot.

Xiao Zhen leaned his head on the chair. He missed the days before the havoc in heaven.

How great it would be if I could do it again in the future!

However, if we follow the plot of The Lotus Lantern, there really is a man named Chenxiang who makes a big fuss in Heaven and even changes the rules of Heaven.

However, Xiao doesn't want to see his beautiful assistant being taken away by a mortal scholar.

So, forget about agarwood and the like!

In front of the Black Bear Cave, the Black Bear Demon had been recruited as a thug, and the Elder Jin Chi, who was protected by him, had no choice but to surrender.

Xuanzang slapped Jin Chi's old face and said in a tone of deep sorrow: "We are originally Buddhists. I never thought that an old thief like you would attack your fellow Buddhists for a personal gain. If you don't give me a reasonable reason today, I will clean up the mess for Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

Jin Chi, who had lived for hundreds of years, hugged Xuanzang's thighs tightly and cried:

"Master Xuanzang, I really don't want to die!"

The Black Bear Demon looked at his friend who was about to die on the spot, and suppressed his fear and said, "Master, why don't you let Jin Chi join the team to obtain the scriptures, so that he can atone for his sins!"

Xuanzang thought about it, nodded and agreed, "Okay, from now on you will be my ascetic monk, and all the dirty work will be left to you. If you say no, Wukong, let him see your stick!"

Sun Wukong cooperated very well and took out his golden cudgel. After it became bigger and longer, he smashed the hilltop not far away with one cudgel.

Jin Chi's legs began to tremble involuntarily, and he was extremely scared.

If that stick hit him, he would be smashed to pieces.

"Master, no... Master, I am willing to be an ascetic monk under you."

After getting a satisfactory result, Xuanzang rode on the back of the white dragon horse again, and the group began to return to Guanyin Temple.

Along the way, the Black Bear Demon tried to comfort Jin Chi. Although the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures was a bit hard, if he could meet the Buddha, he might be able to achieve enlightenment and enjoy eternal life.

Everyone was supposed to set off the next day, but unexpectedly Jin Chi took out all the savings in Guanyin Temple, saying that he wanted to use it as travel expenses for the journey to the West.

A large carriage filled with all the property and treasures that Jin Chi brought with him.

Xuanzang was dumbfounded. This old guy was really ruthless. He was afraid that all the money of Guanyin Temple had been drained out!

However, Jin Chi is his younger brother now, so this money is also his money.

After the pilgrims went far away, the monks in the Guanyin Temple began to curse.

This old man Jin Chi really leaves no room for others. I guess he has no plans to come back in the future.

Except for the land deeds and food, not a single valuable thing was left behind.

The new abbot of Guanyin Temple jumped up and down on the spot, cursing angrily:

"I served this old man Jin Chi for more than 30 years. He wanted me to be the abbot of the Zen temple, but he didn't even leave me a tael of silver!"

……

Along the way, Jin Chi often asked Xuanzang about the contents of the Buddhist scriptures, but he discovered that... this person who was chosen by the Bodhisattva and Buddha to obtain the scriptures had absolutely no knowledge of the Buddhist scriptures.

Even in terms of understanding of Buddhism, Monk Xuanzang may not be as good as the Black Bear Demon.

After the group had been walking for more than half a month, the black bear demon brought back an unconscious young man from the front.

"Master, I, Lao Hei, just went ahead to explore the way, but this kid was too timid and fainted in fear."

Xuanzang took a look and couldn't help but recite the Buddha's name.

"Amitabha, Wukong, go and see if he can be saved. If he can't be saved, dig a hole in a hidden place nearby and bury him. Remember, don't leave any evidence behind!"

The Arhats who were watching from the sky turned pale. Could this reincarnation of Golden Cicada be more serious? His compassion had been fed to dogs.

Sun Wukong pinched the young man's philtrum, and the boy groaned softly and then woke up.

"Where is this? Didn't I encounter a black bear and was about to be eaten?"

At this time, Lao Hei stepped forward, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, benefactor, I am a monk and I do not eat human flesh."

"Oh my god, I'm so scared!"

Seeing that the young man was about to faint from fright again, Xuanzang hurriedly stepped forward and slapped him twice to calm him down.

"Don't worry, my disciple may be a little ugly, but he is definitely not a bad bear."

After calming down, the young man began to tell his story.

It turned out that there was a Gao Village not far ahead. A few years ago, they invited a live-in son-in-law. Although he could only eat a little, he worked very hard and also chased away many bullies and robbers who were causing trouble.

Mr. Gao was originally very satisfied and was ready to hand over his family to his future son-in-law.

The result was contrary to expectations. A strong man turned into a pig's head on his wedding night.

At this time, everyone understood that it was clearly the monster who was attracted by Miss Gao's beauty.
