Honghuang: I am Kuiniu, and I instructed Nuwa to create humans at the beginning.

Seeing that Tang Sanzang had finally arrived, he immediately bowed and said, "You have come from afar, what can I do for you?"

Tang Sanzang quickly returned the greeting and said, "I am a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty on my way to the Western Heaven to seek Buddhist scriptures. I am passing by here and would like to stay overnight at your temple. I wonder if you can help me?"

Guang Chengzi pretended to be silent, then smiled and said, "So you are the holy monk who is seeking scriptures. I have heard of your great name for a long time. Since we are destined to meet, please come into the temple and rest."

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes, feeling that there was something wrong with this Taoist, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He secretly winked at Zhu Bajie and Xiao Bailong, signaling them to be more careful.

After entering the Taoist temple, Guangchengzi ordered a boy to serve tea, and then started chatting with Tang Sanzang.

Guang Chengzi deliberately asked, "Did the holy monk encounter any difficulties or obstacles on his journey westward?"

Tang Sanzang sighed, "To be honest, Taoist priest, there were endless demons and monsters along the way. If it weren't for my disciples protecting us, I'm afraid we would have died long ago."

Guang Chengzi smiled and said, "It is a great blessing for the holy monk to have such a great disciple. However, the Quicksand River ahead is extremely dangerous. There is a monster in the river that specializes in eating passers-by."

"It is said that the monster once ate nine people who were seeking Buddhist scriptures. He also strung the skulls of the people seeking Buddhist scriptures into prayer beads and hung them on his chest every day."

"It may not be easy for the holy monk to cross the river. It is better for him to listen to my advice and return to the Tang Dynasty in the East. Don't give up your life in vain."

Sun Wukong snorted coldly when he heard this: "Master, don't worry. A mere Quicksand River can't stop me."

Guang Chengzi pretended to be surprised and said in disbelief: "How dare you, a monkey who has not yet transformed, speak so arrogantly?"

When Sun Wukong heard Guangchengzi say that he was a monkey without a human form, he got angry and wanted to rush up and fight Guangchengzi without saying anything.

However, he was stopped by Zhu Bajie who was standing beside him, and he said to Guang Chengzi: "You are a Taoist who really has no vision."

"This is my elder brother Sun Wukong, who once caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago. He is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, known to everyone in the Heavenly Palace."

"Don't mention that there is only one monster in the Quicksand River. Even if there are 1,800 monsters, they are still not enough for me, Monkey King, to defeat with my golden cudgel."

An expression of admiration instantly appeared on Guangchengzi's face, and he bowed to Sun Wukong and said.

"So you are the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. I see you today and you are indeed extraordinary. However, the monster in the Flowing Sand River is not trivial. Great Sage, you better be careful."

Just as Sun Wukong was about to say something else, Tang Sanzang waved his hand and said, "My disciple, the Taoist priest also has good intentions. We should not be rude."

Seeing this, Guang Chengzi was secretly delighted, knowing that his words had aroused Tang Sanzang's vigilance. He immediately said, "It's getting late, why don't you rest in the temple first and make plans tomorrow."

That night, Guangchengzi quietly used magic to set up a maze around the Taoist temple, preparing to trap Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

However, what he didn't expect was that Sun Wukong had already noticed his little trick.

In the dead of night, Sun Wukong quietly woke up Zhu Bajie and Xiao Bailong and whispered, "There is something strange about this Taoist temple. I'm afraid that Taoist has bad intentions. We must be careful."

Zhu Bajie rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Big Brother, don't worry. It's impossible for him to eat Master. At most, he will keep us here for a few days. Isn't that what you want?"

Sun Wukong was stunned when he heard this. "Fool, why do you say that? Do you know the background of that Taoist?"

In his previous life, Zhu Bajie was the Marshal of the Heavenly Peng and he stayed in heaven for much longer than Sun Wukong.

Naturally, he recognized at a glance that this Taoist was the incarnation of Guangchengzi. That was why he stopped Sun Wukong, fought with Guangchengzi, and announced Sun Wukong's name. Now when he heard Sun Wukong asking him, Zhu Bajie said proudly: "Old Pig, of course I know who he is."

"He is the Great Emperor Gou Chen of the Heavenly Palace, and the former disciple of the Chan Sect, Guang Cheng Zi. He suddenly appeared here, and he must have been ordered by the Lord Haotian to embarrass us."

When Sun Wukong heard Zhu Bajie say that the Taoist was actually the Great Emperor Gou Chen of Heaven and the former great disciple of the Chan sect Guang Chengzi, he couldn't help but look thoughtful.

"Is that Guangchengzi who once taught Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi and almost ruined him?"

Zhu Bajie smiled and nodded, "If not him, then who else could it be?"

Here, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were digging up Guangchengzi's past when suddenly a gust of wind blew outside the Taoist temple.

Then, Guang Chengzi turned into a golden light and appeared in front of them. He snorted coldly and said, "You monkey, you are really rude."

"Originally, I didn't intend to embarrass you. I just wanted to keep you for a few days and then let you continue your journey west."

"I didn't expect you to frame me like this. Don't blame me for making it impossible for you to cross this Quicksand River."

At this time Guangchengzi finally got angry. After all, teaching Xuanyuan Huangdi was definitely a stain on Guangchengzi's life.

Others who taught the Human Emperor all gained good fortune, but he not only gained nothing, but was instead cursed.

In the end, he broke through to the Quasi-Sage realm, but it was his master who spent countless cultivation resources to allow him to barely break through to the Quasi-Sage realm.

He immediately took out the male and female swords and rushed towards Sun Wukong to kill him.

Sun Wukong was not afraid at all. He drew out his golden cudgel and shouted at Guang Chengzi, "You are just a piece of trash. Can't you let others say that?"

"If it weren't for Yuanshi Tianzun helping you retrieve the magic weapon, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to defeat your own apprentice. Why are you still pretending to be so great in front of me?"

Guang Chengzi was exposed by Sun Wukong one after another, and he was extremely angry. He no longer concealed his strength. The two swords were like two dragons, slashing directly at Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong held the golden hoop in his hand horizontally, blocking Guang Chengzi's male and female swords. He turned around and swept towards Guang Chengzi's waist.

When Guangchengzi saw Sun Wukong's golden cudgel sweeping towards him, he flashed and turned into a golden light, avoiding the attack.

With a sneer, he swung the male and female swords in his hands again. The sword light was like a rainbow, and it went straight to Sun Wukong's face.

Sun Wukong was not in a hurry. He danced the golden cudgel in his hand tightly and blocked all the sword lights of Guangchengzi.

While resisting, he mocked, "Guangchengzi, this is all you can do? No wonder you can't beat your own disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi's face turned pale and he shouted angrily, "Stop being so arrogant, you naughty monkey! Today I will let you see what real magical power is!"

As he spoke, a small bell appeared in Guangchengzi's hand, and it rang with a clear sound.

When Sun Wukong heard the bell, he felt dizzy and lost consciousness the next moment.

Fortunately, Zhu Bajie reacted in time and realized that this was Guangchengzi's Soul-Falling Bell.

He didn't care about Sun Wukong and turned around to flee outside the Taoist temple. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared. (End of this chapter)
