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

Before long, the group arrived at a place not far from Thorn Ridge.

"What kind of mountain is this? Something feels... off?"

Yun Zhongzi glanced at the Thorn Ridge ahead and murmured.

"This must be Thorn Ridge, look at all those thorns covering the mountains and plains!"

Looking around, Bodhidharma said with certainty.

"With so many thorns, could there be a thorn demon among them?"

Then, Yun Zhongzi suddenly blurted out this sentence.

Tang Sanzang immediately shrank his neck and leaned his body against the monkey.

"Move aside, move aside, don't get so close, or people will misunderstand!"

The monkey shoved the pitiful Tang Sanzang aside, his face expressionless.

"Yeah, look how scared you are! Even if it's a tree spirit, so what... Holy crap! There's a tree spirit over there!"

With a sneer, Yun Zhongzi was about to tease Tang Seng when he suddenly shouted loudly.

The three were startled and hurriedly looked ahead. Sure enough, a tree spirit was slowly walking towards them.

The three of them immediately shrank to the side of the monkey, looking wary.

"I am Ling Kongzi. Have you seen my lost cat?"

Then, a tree spirit, seemingly an enlightened being from a cypress tree, walked up to them and asked in a low voice.

The voice was mournful, like that of a thousand-year-old vengeful ghost.

"No, no! We didn't see it!"

Hearing that plaintive voice, Tang Sanzang and his companions felt a chill run down their spines and hurriedly replied.

The monkey looked at Ling Kongzi with a puzzled expression, wondering if this was the little brother the lolis had just taken in.

Why do you seem a little mentally unstable?

"You really didn't see it? Think about it again!"

Suddenly, Ling Kongzi continued to approach them and then asked.

The three of them dared not speak at this moment, and could only shake their heads repeatedly.

Seeing this, Ling Kongzi nodded and continued walking outside.

"What the hell is this? It's so terrifying!"

Yun Zhongzi swallowed hard and said absentmindedly.

Bodhidharma shook his head, his expression grave, and said, "This is an extremely powerful tree spirit. Thorn Ridge is probably quite eerie!"

"Then... let's take a detour!"

Tang Sanzang, standing to the side, spoke in a slightly trembling voice.

"We are enlightened masters of Buddhism, what are we afraid of, mere tree demons... Hey! Stop! Why are you carrying me, Old Sun, around again!"

At this point, Tang Sanzang and his companions no longer cared about the monkey's resentment and hurriedly carried the monkey away.

That monkey has gone mad again!
Hurry up and leave, we can't stay here any longer!

The three of them determined their direction and headed south.

They hadn't walked far when they suddenly saw a light ahead.

It was already evening by then, as they were rushing on their journey.

Upon suddenly seeing the firelight, the three were overjoyed.

This must be a traveler on the road!
It seems my luck is pretty good tonight, so I quickened my pace.

"Excuse me, we... Holy crap! What is this?!"

As Yun Zhongzi walked through a patch of weeds, he was about to happily greet someone when he suddenly froze.

At this moment, even Tang Sanzang and Bodhidharma were stunned!
The monkey, positioned in the middle, also stared wide-eyed!
"Hi! It's fate that we met. How about we grab some barbecue?"

There, a tree spirit was sitting on the ground, happily roasting meat.

That bonfire wasn't burning anything else.

It was his own leg!!

What the hell!

This guy actually used his own leg as firewood to grill meat?

The three people and the monkey found this scene extremely eerie!

They continued running with the monkey on their backs, their speed more than twice as fast as before!
As they ran, the three realized they had run back to Thorn Ridge.

"What's going on here? Why is there a tree spirit here?"

"I don't know! Run! This is too weird!" "Run! Run! Hopefully they're not chasing us!"

"Hey! Can you put me down first? Hey! Did you hear me?!"

Before long, the three people and the monkey returned to the place where they had just encountered Ling Kongzi.

The three of them put the monkey down and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"It's not that I, Old Sun, am criticizing you, but you're all so afraid of each other... Why are you here again?"

The three were wondering who the monkey, who was still scolding them, was talking to when they looked up and almost screamed.

Then Ling Kongzi walked over from a distance, looking at them coldly.

"I am Ling Kongzi. Have you seen my lost cat?"

She actually uttered those words in a plaintive voice!
It happened during the day before, but now it's night.

This further highlights Ling Kongzi's eerie and terrifying nature!
The three of them shuddered and screamed as they ran away in all directions.

Only the monkey remained standing, watching in astonishment as the three figures quickly disappeared into the night.

The monkey turned around, and Ling Kongzi was still staring straight at him.

"I didn't see it! You'd better leave!"

"You're talking nonsense! I clearly saw it! Isn't it over there!"

At this moment, Ling Kongzi pointed in the direction of Tang Sanzang and revealed a sinister smile.

They chased after Tang Sanzang at an extremely fast speed!
The monkey slapped his forehead, realizing they were doomed.
Lingshan.

Zixiao Palace.

After distributing the treasures, the four sages bowed to Hongjun and left Zixiao Palace.

Watching the four sages depart, Hongjun felt slightly uneasy.

"Such a bizarre method, how could it have tricked Jieyin? Could it be the work of Li Changsheng's daughters?"

After some thought, Hongjun felt that his guess was pretty close to the truth.

Aside from Li Changsheng's daughters, who would be so idle as to play pranks on a saint?

And that is a saint; who in the Three Realms could possibly trick him?
Shaking his head, Hongjun sighed that he could no longer go into seclusion.

If this great undertaking continues to drag on like this, the Great God Pangu will surely be angry!
The situation is becoming increasingly dire!

Then Hongjun turned his gaze eastward, wanting to see where the group on their journey to the West had reached.

First, they saw Trapped Sky Mountain, where the rat spirit Lao Hei was leading a group of rats in hard work.

They then continued to survey the area and soon arrived at Thorn Ridge.

"Strange! Why is this Thorn Ridge shrouded in black mist? It's broad daylight!"

"Moreover, I can't even see through this black mist?"

Hongjun refused to believe in evil and used his cultivation as a Primordial Saint.

A powerful aura surged up, forming a small tornado around him.

Then a beam of light flashed past Hongjun's eyes.

At this moment, Hongjun's eyes seemed to be enlightened, flowing with mysterious brilliance.

His vision is incredibly sharp, as if he can see through all the mysteries of the universe!

Then Hongjun looked towards Thorn Ridge and was immediately dumbfounded.

I still can't see through that layer of black mist!
A thick black fog shrouded the entire Thorn Ridge, filling it with an eerie atmosphere.

Hongjun tried every method and secret technique he could think of, but the result was still the same.

"Tang Sanzang and his companions must be here!"

Hongjun said with a grim expression.

He sighed and hurriedly sent a telepathic message to the four sages who had already left.
Thorn Ridge.

After encountering Ling Kongzi, the three scattered and fled.

At this point, Tang Sanzang was so exhausted that he was trembling, and his steps were as heavy as if they were made of lead.

"That seems a bit unfair. Why leave Wukong there by himself?"

"Sigh! I don't know why, but whenever I encounter Ling Kongzi, a wave of fear washes over me."

"It's like encountering some kind of terrifying monster!"

Sighing and lamenting, Tang Sanzang was utterly exhausted.

He then leaned against a rock to rest, and after a while he became somewhat drowsy.

Tang Sanzang closed his heavy eyelids, wanting to take a nap. (End of Chapter)
