Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

The commotion caused by Zhen Yuanzi's battle with Amitabha was so great that Jin Chanzi and the others naturally heard it.

The next day, Qingfeng and Mingyue drove Jin Chanzi and his group out of Wuzhuang Temple.

Jin Chanzi sighed. In the past month or so of discussing the Dao with Zhen Yuanzi, Jin Chanzi had unknowingly gained insight into the path ahead. Now, as long as he recovers his cultivation, he can condense the Great Luo Dao Fruit and attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal in an instant.

Even without recovering his cultivation, Jin Chanzi could still use some Buddhist secret techniques to unleash the combat power of a Golden Immortal.

This is not because Buddhist secret techniques are powerful, but because the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal is too strong. Even though Jin Chanzi has not broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he can still activate Buddhist secret techniques and display remarkable power based on his understanding of the Great Luo realm.

If he could, Jin Chanzi really wanted to stay at Wuzhuang Temple and discuss Taoism with Zhen Yuanzi forever.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. When Amitabha Buddha arrived, they had no choice but to continue their journey.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed, and Jin Chanzi and his group leisurely arrived at White Tiger Ridge.

Upon arriving at White Tiger Ridge, Sha Wujing frowned: "Brother Monkey, something feels off here. The demonic aura is very strong. There must be a powerful demon lurking here, right?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong's eyes narrowed slightly, a golden light flashing in them that enveloped the entire White Tiger Ridge. Then, Sun Wukong withdrew his gaze and said in a calm tone, "Old Sha, you've made quite a bit of progress! There is indeed demonic energy here."

Jin Chanzi rode on the back of the little white dragon, holding a roasted chicken in his left hand and a pot of monkey wine in his right, eating with his mouth full of oil.

When Jin Chanzi heard Sha Wujing and Sun Wukong say that there was demonic energy here, he suddenly widened his eyes and hurriedly asked, "A demon here? How powerful is it?"

Sun Wukong thought for a moment and said, "I feel that this monster's cultivation level is probably around the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. It's definitely not a Taiyi Golden Immortal. It's more like a local demon king."

Jin Chanzi was immediately excited: "Great! Peak Golden Immortal! Don't interfere with this demon, let your master practice on it."

During this month, he encountered many demons, but they were all pitifully weak little demons. Jin Chanzi was tired of sitting on his horse all day and traveling day and night, and he was looking for a demon to exercise.

On White Tiger Ridge, there is a White Bone Cave, and inside the White Bone Cave lives a White Bone Demon.

The White Bone Demon was originally a corpse reduced to bones. By chance, she absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, awakened her intelligence, and then cultivated diligently for tens of thousands of years, finally attaining the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

Inside the White Bone Cave, there is a White Bone Throne, on which the White Bone Demon sits with a mirror in front of her.

The mirror reflected a tall skeleton with empty eyes that flickered with green flames, admiring its own beauty.

Just then, a black fox spirit trotted over, her face full of obsequiousness, and said, "Your Majesty, the pilgrim has arrived!"

"The pilgrims have arrived?" A hint of reminiscence flickered in the White Bone Demon's eyes.

A hundred years ago, two immortals appeared at White Tiger Ridge.

These two immortals were probably tired from flying and stopped to rest at White Tiger Ridge. The two immortals were extremely powerful. Even the slightest aura emanating from their bodies made the White Bone Demon's primordial spirit tremble, unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

Unfortunately, these two immortals stopped to rest outside the White Bone Demon's cave, which terrified the White Bone Demon.

Just as the White Bone Demon was filled with fear and unease, the two immortals began to talk about the pilgrims. They said that within a hundred years, a pilgrim would come to White Tiger Ridge.

The pilgrim is a being who has gathered the fortune of heaven and earth. As long as you can capture him and eat a piece of his flesh, you can live forever. If you dig out his heart and eat it, you can bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bones. Even if you eat his bones, you can shed your body as a bone demon and be reborn as a human.

The White Bone Demon was thrilled. She secretly resolved that she must find a way to capture this pilgrim on his journey to the West, dig out his heart and eat it. Then she would shed her White Bone Demon form and achieve enlightenment.

Now, after waiting for a hundred years, the pilgrim has finally arrived. The White Bone Demon glanced at the Black Fox Demon and said, "Guard the house well, I'll be right back."

The black fox spirit nodded hurriedly: "I'm the best at guarding the gate, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

The White Bone Demon transformed into a beautiful young woman, then conjured a flower basket and caught some toads, bedbugs, scorpions, and poisonous snakes from a puddle, putting them inside. With a wave of her hand, they became exquisite and delicious snacks.

A young woman, singing a folk song, walked along the narrow mountain path.

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing all possessed supernatural powers, and soon they heard the singing.

Pigsy laughed and said, "The voice sounds quite young. Why don't I, the old pig, go and take a look first?"

Jin Chanzi shook his head and said, "The sound doesn't seem far away. Let's go take a look together."

Half an hour later, Jin Chanzi and his group encountered the young woman who was actually the White Bone Demon in disguise.

"May I ask this lady, what kind of place is this?" Pigsy asked as he approached.

The young woman looked up in surprise at Jin Chanzi and his companions, including a pig and a monkey. She exclaimed in surprise, pretended to twist her ankle, and plopped down on a rock with a pained expression.

"Wuneng, you've frightened the female benefactor." With that, Jin Chanzi dismounted and approached the young woman.

Jin Chanzi looked down at the young woman and indeed could not tell that she was a demon.

Then Jin Chanzi turned to look at Sun Wukong, who gave him a barely perceptible nod.

Jin Chanzi understood immediately and asked with a smile, "Female benefactor, where do you come from, and where are you going?"

The young woman said tremblingly, "I am going to deliver food to my family members who are working in the fields."

"Oh, so you're delivering food. Where's the food?" The young woman quickly opened the flower basket.

The flower basket was filled with exquisite food, and it looked like it was still steaming hot!
Although Jin Chanzi couldn't tell that the young woman was a demon, he could tell what the things in the box were.

Now Jin Chanzi was completely relieved. He put his hands together and said, "This female benefactor, we have been traveling for many days and haven't had a hot meal yet. If you don't mind, could you please give us this food?"

Upon hearing this, the White Bone Demon thought to herself, "This monk is really sensible. These things were originally prepared for you. I was wondering how to get you to eat them, but now that you've asked for them yourself, it saves me a lot of trouble."

So the young woman smiled and said, "My mother said that monks are all good people, so we'll give you food."

Jin Chanzi nodded, picked up a piece of steamed bun, squeezed it hard, and handed it to the young woman: "Benefactor, it is better to be careful when traveling in the world. We don't know if these things are poisonous or not. Please, benefactor, taste them for us first!"

In the White Bone Demon's eyes, what Jin Chanzi held in his hand was not a steamed bun at all, but a toad that Jin Chanzi had crushed flat, its blood mixed with mucus, emitting a nauseating stench.

The White Bone Demon was a female corpse in her previous life, who spent her days cultivating and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and also the life force of living people, but she had never eaten anything so disgusting before. The young woman looked embarrassed and repeatedly refused: "This food was all made by me personally, and there is absolutely no poison in it. Elders, please feel free to eat it."

Jin Chanzi, however, persisted: "I already said that the female benefactor should eat first, and then we will eat."

The young woman was about to refuse when Jin Chanzi's expression turned stern: "What? Did you really poison this food, benefactor?"

The young woman feigned anger, trembling as she said, "It's one thing if the elders don't eat the food I prepared myself, but why are you slandering my innocence?"

After saying this, the young woman squatted down and began to sob.

Jin Chanzi chuckled: "You look beautiful, but I didn't know you had a heart of a snake. If I let you go today, who knows how many people will be killed by you in the future. Let me fight you first."

As soon as Jin Chanzi finished speaking, the nine-ringed staff suddenly appeared in his hand. At the same time, Jin Chanzi's muscles bulged, and his height increased by several inches, turning him into an angry Vajra.

"Die!" Jin Chanzi roared and slammed his staff down. The young woman screamed and fell to the ground, instantly losing her breath.

The young woman's body fell to the ground, but it did not transform into its original form; it truly was the corpse of a young woman.

Sha Wujing was startled and rushed over to check, but no matter how he looked at it, the corpse was a real person, and the demonic aura that had been lingering on the young woman was gone. He turned to Jin Chanzi and said, "Master, we didn't really kill an innocent person, did we?"

Jin Chanzi then pointed to the basket and said, "Old Sha, if he were a good person, would he give us toads, poisonous snakes, and poisonous scorpions to eat?"

Only then did Sha Wujing notice the poisonous snakes, scorpions, and spiders constantly emerging from the flower basket.

After killing the young woman, Jin Chanzi deflated like a punctured balloon, returning to his normal state.

"Let's go. Let's try to get through White Tiger Ridge in one go today," Jin Chanzi said confidently.

The group walked for another hour when an old man, walking with a faltering gait and looking very old, stopped Jin Chanzi and his companions. The old man stepped forward and called out, "Elders, have you seen my daughter? My daughter went to the fields to deliver food to my son-in-law, and she hasn't returned for so long. My wife is urging me to come out and look for her. I wonder if any of you elders have seen my daughter?"

Jin Chanzi chuckled and asked, "Is your daughter wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket, black trousers, and coarse cloth shoes?"

"Indeed, indeed." The old man looked very excited and quickly asked, "Judging from what the elders are saying, have you seen my youngest daughter?"

Jin Chanzi nodded: "I have seen her, but your daughter is already dead."

"Dead? How could that be?" The old man's eyes widened in disbelief.

“Your daughter is so wicked. When she saw us passing by, she used magic to turn toads, snakes, and spiders into food for us to eat.”

"This humble monk has always been compassionate. To prevent your daughter from harming others again, this humble monk has no choice but to send her to her final rest."

"You...you killed my daughter?" The old man turned ashen-faced with fright, then cried out loudly, "My poor daughter! Is there no justice in this world?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Chanzi snorted coldly, his muscles bulging again, and directly rebuked him: "You old man are utterly unreasonable. Truly, like father, like son. Your daughter is a viper, using poison to harm people."

You, as a father, instead of reflecting on your failure to raise your daughter well, act as if you've suffered a great injustice. I suppose you're no good person either. Take this beating from me first.

After saying this, Jin Chanzi's muscles bulged, and he swung his staff, striking the old man in the chest.

"Pfft!" With a mouthful of blood, the old man immediately lost consciousness, collapsed to the ground, and died.

Like the young woman, the old man died without reverting to his original form, but this time no one doubted that Jin Chanzi had attacked the wrong person.

Having killed the old man, Jin Chanzi put away his staff and said, "Let's continue on our way!"

Not long after the group left, an old woman slowly walked over.

Sha Wujing couldn't sense any demonic energy from the old woman, so he couldn't help but remind Jin Chanzi, "Master, this old woman doesn't have any demonic energy; she should be human."

Pigsy was also a little unsure and whispered to Monkey King, "Brother Monkey, what do you think of this woman?"

Sun Wukong smiled without saying a word, still giving Jin Chanzi a reassuring smile.

As for Jin Chanzi, upon seeing Sun Wukong's smile, he rubbed his hands together, looking excited.

Just as the old lady approached and was about to ask a question, Jin Chanzi swiftly summoned his nine-ringed staff and slammed it down.

The old woman fell to the ground with a thud. Pigsy and Sandy shuddered violently and took a few steps back. How could their master's killing intent have become so strong after entering White Tiger Ridge, killing people at the slightest disagreement?
The old lady's body fell heavily to the ground with a muffled groan.

But the next moment, the sky suddenly changed.

Rolling black clouds converged from all directions, creating an atmosphere of impending doom and impending destruction.

Just then, a violent explosion came from the center of the main ridge of the White Tiger Ridge Mountains. The earth shook and a skeleton a hundred meters tall flew out and landed in front of Jin Chanzi and the others.

A beam of white light shot out from the old woman's body and entered the skeleton. After the white light entered the skeleton, the skeleton opened its scarlet eyes and stared intently at Jin Chanzi.

A moment later, a grating scraping sound rang out: "I accept that you killed the young woman and the old man, but you had no grudge against this old woman, you had never even spoken to her, so why did you kill her?"

Jin Chanzi scoffed and said, "Young woman, old man, old woman, they are clearly all monsters. Do I need a reason to kill them?"

Jin Chanzi's casual remark completely enraged the White Bone Demon.

The White Bone Demon raised her mountain-sized claws and slapped them at Jin Chanzi.

Jin Chanzi was completely unafraid and raised his staff to fight the White Bone Demon.

After fighting for dozens of rounds, Jin Chanzi was sent flying by a single claw. Just as Sha Wujing was about to make a move, Sun Wukong stopped him.

Because the next second, Jin Chanzi returned, this time his body had grown even larger and his muscles were even more powerful. The two fought for more than a hundred rounds, with Jin Chanzi going from being slightly at a disadvantage to being evenly matched, and then to gaining a firm advantage.

The more the White Bone Demon fought, the more frightened she became. Knowing she was no match for her, she turned and ran.

Unexpectedly, Jin Chanzi hurled his staff, instantly shattering the White Bone Demon's skull and shattering her primordial spirit. (End of Chapter)
