Primordial Era: Wife Nuwa, Adorable Baby Causes Havoc in Zixiao Palace

Just then, a rat scurried out from the shadows.

The monkey was wondering to itself when suddenly the mouse began to speak human language.

"Monkey, all three of them have been captured by me, Old Black. If you want them back, have the Buddhist sect pay the ransom!"

"Hurry up! Otherwise, I can't guarantee they'll be missing limbs!"

After speaking, the magic power attached to the rat seemed to disappear.

The mouse turned into an ordinary mouse, and upon seeing the monkey, it panicked and ran away in a flash.

Upon hearing Old Black's message, the monkey was overjoyed!
Ignoring that it was still night, they flew towards Mount Ling.

Not far away, Old Black, watching the monkey leave, couldn't help but feel somewhat satisfied.

Just then, he strode back to his cave.

Suddenly, he cried out inwardly, "Oh no!"
"Damn it! I forgot to ask the monkeys for food! What a blunder!"

Old Hei slapped his thigh and cried out in despair.

In the end, having no other choice, they had to rush back to their cave.

After all, there's a bottomless pit with a bunch of hungry rats and their offspring!

Lingshan.

Originally, the three people and the monkey cleverly evaded Old Black's first robbery, and the gods and Buddhas were secretly applauding.

But the situation took an unexpected turn soon after, and Tang Sanzang and his two companions were tricked into Lao Hei's own cave.

"Tang Sanzang and his companions are really incompetent! They're like this the moment the Monkey King isn't around!"

"Indeed, they were so busy praising each other that they couldn't even tell the difference between a real monkey and a fake one."

"Absolutely! This old black man disguised as a monkey has flaws everywhere, but they just ignore them!"

"That's right, it made me secretly anxious for them, but in the end I was greatly disappointed!!"

In modern Buddhism, watching the pilgrimage procession unfold like a spectacle has become commonplace. While the gods and Buddhas gossip and chat idly, the three revered Buddhist saints have incredibly grim expressions.

"Damn it! How many more of the eighty-one tribulations are there? Why have we run into this rat demon again?"

Yuan Shi stared speechlessly at the three who had been captured alive, his heart pounding with rage.

Seeing the frantic Yuanshi, Jieyin and Zhunti could only smile wryly.

If all else fails, they'd rather just show themselves and capture Tang Sanzang and the others and bring them to Mount Ling!

If this continues, who knows what kind of trouble will arise!

Nowadays, even if someone tells them...

They weren't surprised that the monsters appearing ahead were the Ancestral Dragon, the First Phoenix, and the Ancient Qilin!

After all, even a vicious rabbit with a love-hate relationship has appeared, so what else can't appear?

"Alas! How is my fellow Daoist Laozi doing now?"

He sighed and asked Yuanshi a question.

Yuanshi shook his head and replied, "What else can we do but eat and sleep all day?"

Mentioning Lao Tzu made the three sages' expressions even more unpleasant!
The old man is no longer as withdrawn as before; he just eats, drinks, and sleeps normally every day.

Ordinary people are one thing, but he's a saint!
The three saints were helpless in the face of such a bizarre situation.

"Speaking of which, the monkey is on his way to Mount Ling, it seems the rat demon wants a ransom!"

Zhunti looked at Jieyin and Yuanshi and tentatively spoke.

Immediately, both Jieyin and Yuanshi showed expressions of heartache.

"Alright then, the warehouses on Mount Ling are stocked with plenty of spirit rice, and some other food... cough cough, precious ingredients! Let the monkey take them all!"

Jieyin thought for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and spoke. Upon hearing this, Zhunti and Yuanshi's eyes lit up! "That's right!"

Those things were merely for their own enjoyment and didn't really serve any great purpose.

But those wicked monsters don't understand!

Both saints cast admiring glances at Jieyin and unconsciously gave him a thumbs up.

Trapped in the Void Mountain, a bottomless abyss.

After a long day's journey, Old Black finally returned to his cave. He looked out at the vast expanse of black cave, filled with countless pairs of eager, expectant eyes.

I can't help but sigh, no matter how hard or tiring it is, it's all worth it!
After all, these are all his own bloodline!

Then they started distributing food as usual, while constantly muttering to themselves.

"You guys! No matter how hungry you are, you can't go gnawing on the holes in the ground! What if they gnaw through our bottomless pit?"

"Damn it, if anyone gnaws their own cave to pieces, I'll fight them to the death!"

The smaller mice immediately looked frightened and didn't dare make a sound while eating.

Only the larger rats kept casting resentful glances.

"Okay, okay, but you can't eat them! Not even a single piece of meat! We're counting on them for the future!"

After saying that, Lao Hei looked at Tang Sanzang and the other two with a simple and honest smile.

Upon hearing Lao Hei's words, Tang Sanzang and his companions looked at the hole full of rats in horror.

Damn it!
If these rats are starving, won't they gnaw them all up and eat them?
Never before had any of the three felt so desperate!

"You three stay put. Hostages should act like hostages!"

"If you don't behave, I'll feed you to these kids!"

"Hehehe! Your bodies must be very tender."

Old Hei cast a fierce glare at Tang Sanzang and his companions, and said threateningly.

Tang Sanzang glanced at Old Black in fear, swallowed hard, and immediately assured him:
"King Hei, we are all enlightened monks, and we will cooperate with you! After all, you are seeking wealth, while we are seeking fame!"

"And you can rest assured that even if all these rats die, we will not die."
Bodhidharma and Yun Zhongzi turned to look at Tang Sanzang in shock, and the Bottomless Cave became completely silent.

"Bald monk! You're asking for death!"

In the blink of an eye, Old Black charged toward Tang Sanzang with unparalleled force...
Trapped in the Void Mountain, a bottomless abyss.

Tang Sanzang's screams echoed continuously from the Bottomless Cave, reverberating throughout the entire Trapped Sky Mountain.

"Bald monk! If you dare curse my rat offspring again, I'll roast you! Humph!"

Old Hei shook his hand and glared fiercely at Tang Sanzang.

"Spare me, Your Majesty! It was definitely a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue!"

At this moment, Tang Sanzang was already on the verge of tears and wanted to slap himself hard.

Yun Zhongzi and Damo shook their heads in disbelief.

What a fool who speaks without thinking!

"Wait! Your Majesty, this humble monk has something to say!"

Seeing that Lao Hei was about to leave, Tang Seng hurriedly spoke up.

Old Hei turned around and looked at Tang Sanzang with a puzzled expression, while Yun Zhongzi and Bodhidharma beside him also showed a look of surprise and doubt.

"This humble monk sees that Your Majesty greatly needs food to feed... well, your family! In that case, why not have them grow crops together?"

After organizing his thoughts, the young monk tentatively spoke to the old man.

Old Hei didn't say anything, he just looked at Tang Sanzang as if he were a fool.

"Your Majesty! We are all skilled in farm work and have extensive experience in planting. We are sure we can be of great help to you!"

At this point, Tang Sanzang continued speaking.

Immediately, Yun Zhongzi and Bodhidharma understood what Tang Sanzang meant.

If we can let them produce and sell their own products, then they won't face the risk of being eaten!

"Yes, yes, Old Black King, we've planted these before, our skills are top-notch!"

"Amitabha! We monks do not lie. Please, Your Majesty, believe us this once!"

At this moment, Tang Sanzang and his two companions looked at Lao Hei with hopeful eyes.

"How long will it take to grow enough food to be edible? And how much will be needed to sustain my enormous rat colony?"

Old Hei thought about it and seemed somewhat interested, so he asked directly.

Robbing Buddhist temples is not a long-term solution. If things can really go as they say, it would be quite good!
Old Hei thought to himself silently. (End of Chapter)
