The Journey to the West is over, and the Perfect Life System is here

Chapter 188: Headless Monk, Yellow Robe Official, Tiger Vanguard

Sun Wukong still remembers that when he passed by Huangfengling on his journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures, it was still a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

But now this place is covered with sand and is desolate.

After pressing the cloud head, the system voice sounded almost simultaneously.

You and your disciples journeyed westward, arriving at Yellow Wind Ridge. Suddenly, a ferocious tiger attacked, claiming to be the Tiger Vanguard, a subordinate of the Yellow Wind King. Bajie rushed to attack, and you, unwilling to be left behind, also attacked the demon, leaving Master Sanzang to sit by.

[Obtain the task: Eliminate Tiger Vanguard (You need to kill Tiger Vanguard)]

"Hey, that idiot really wanted to show off in front of his master back then." Sun Wukong felt a little emotional when he thought of his past experiences.

It was not only Huangfengling, but also the same thing happened later in Liusha River.

Bajie has been in the spotlight for a long time, but he has not had any outstanding performance.

After all, the Yellow Wind King was captured by Lingji Bodhisattva, and later Sha Seng was captured by Hui'an Xingzhe Mu Cha.

This made the master mistakenly believe that Bajie's abilities were no worse than his, the Monkey King.

So when they fought the White Bone Demon for the third time, the master saw that he was still killing innocent people, so he decided to drive him away.

The result was that in the following disaster at Baoxiang Kingdom, Bajie's true form was revealed, and they had to go to Huaguo Mountain to invite him back to subdue the demon.

Of course, these were all the early twists and turns in the journey to the West.

Thinking about it now, he no longer has the competitive spirit, and only cherishes the relationship between master and apprentice and brothers in the past even more.

"It seems the system wanted me to show off more back then so that there wouldn't be any rift between master and disciple. It's a shame the system came a little late," Sun Wukong thought. "But now, where can I find Tiger Vanguard?"

Back then, the tiger demon who could shed his skin faced the combined forces of him and Bajie. Although he first used the trick of escaping from his skin to capture Master Sanzang, when he later went to the Yellow Wind Cave to challenge him, the tiger demon panicked and ended up falling into Bajie's hands and was killed by a spiked rake.

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard singing coming from the distant canyon.

……

At this moment, the sun was shining brightly in the sky. In a canyon at the foot of the mountain, two figures were enjoying the coolness under a dead tree.

One of them is a headless monk holding a sanxian, and the other is a yellow-robed official with a pig face.

"Huangfengling, eight hundred miles long, was once a rich land outside the Great Wall..." The headless monk staggered and played the sanxian in his hand.

"Aren't you tired of playing the same few songs all day? Here, here, stop singing!" The yellow-robed man handed over the wine bag.

"Donor, I have said it before, a headless person cannot drink alcohol." said the headless monk.

"Serves you right! It's all your fault!" The yellow-robed official sneered, then complained, "It's been five hundred years, and I don't know when it will end.

Let me tell you, ever since I found out that rats taste a bit like humans, I haven’t eaten meat since.

I really don't know how the Tiger Vanguard of Crouching Tiger Temple could have eaten it for so many years."

The headless monk laughed and said, "He is a tiger, the king of all beasts. Even if he eats people, it's no problem for him, let alone some rat spirits."

The yellow-robed official sneered, "Is that a rat spirit?"

The headless monk shook his hand and wanted to pluck the sanxian again.

The yellow-robed official said hurriedly, "Stop, stop, stop. I'm not going to argue with you. I'm not going to argue with you...eh?"

Both of them suddenly stopped and looked towards the valley entrance.

I saw a monkey in simple clothes walking into the canyon.

"The man of destiny?"

"I didn't hear any movement up ahead, how come you're here all of a sudden?"

"Stop thinking about it, just sing your song and entertain the guests!"

"Amitabha, you should also hurry back to your seat and don't miss the important things."

The two were talking as they were about to leave.

But suddenly, a sneer sounded: "Hey, hey, this is not the way to treat guests, right?"

The headless monk and the yellow-robed official were both stunned.

"A talking man of destiny?!"

"It's rare, rare, I have to take a closer look."

The two men looked at each other. Although the headless monk had no head, the surprise in his words was obvious.

Then, the headless monk took the sanxian and began to sing.

"Huangfengling, covering an area of eight hundred li, was once a fertile land outside the Great Wall. Suddenly, a rat plague arose, and the air became gloomy and filthy. Without a father or a king, and without law and order, the evildoers found protection from the gods.

Fortunately, the Great Sage borrowed the power of Buddha and temporarily subsided the evil winds. But who knew that a strange disaster would come at any moment, and the yellow-haired evil beast would return home. The murderer was not dead and was very proud, but the lucky star's body was left as a mystery.

He walked towards the monkey while singing.

Sun Wukong found it interesting, so he listened carefully for a while, while also trying to guess the identity of the headless monk.

The yellow-robed official behind could be recognized at a glance. It was the pig demon Zhu Zizhen. Like the white snake demon Chang Hao from Black Wind Mountain, he was one of the six brothers of Meishan.

But it was impossible to tell who the headless monk was.

At this time, the headless monk came closer and said with a smile: "Young donor, I have guessed the purpose of your visit. I am too impatient to bear the heat..."

Sun Wukong raised his hand to interrupt him and asked, "Who are you?"

The headless monk gave a wry laugh and began to sing again: "Three strings, three strings, filled with unspeakable anger. Defeat and slavery, I am ashamed to stand before the Buddha. Worry and hardship, hatred born of kindness. Wind obscures the sand, making it hard to distinguish true from false."

"Mysterious."

Sun Wukong sneered, but ignored him. He then looked at the yellow-robed official and said, "Let me ask you, where is Crouching Tiger Temple? And wasn't that Tiger Vanguard killed back then? How come he's alive now?"

The headless monk was stunned, staring at the man of destiny in front of him, totally confused as to why this monkey ran straight towards Tiger Vanguard?
The yellow-robed official was also surprised, but soon smiled and said, "The Crouching Tiger Temple is just ahead. As for this Tiger Vanguard, he is the eldest son of the Tiger Vanguard.

After the pilgrims left this place, the Yellow Wind Monster was taken away by Lingji Bodhisattva. The two sons left behind by the Tiger Vanguard rebuilt this place with the Stone Mother and a group of stone spirits.

Later, some mortals built a village in this mountain. Brother Tiger earned a good reputation for himself by following the principle of "devouring all the lost and evil people and escorting the good people passing by."

The villagers built a Crouching Tiger Temple to worship the tiger god.

But another hundred years later, well, five hundred years ago, the Yellow Wind Monster returned and defeated Tiger Brother and Tiger Brother. To save Tiger Brother's life, Tiger Brother surrendered. After the Yellow Wind Monster learned of their life story, he appointed Tiger Brother as the new Tiger Vanguard, to serve him.

"Thanks for letting me know."

After hearing this, Sun Wukong smiled, bowed, and went to Crouching Tiger Temple.

The headless monk and the yellow-robed official were left staring at each other in bewilderment. Why didn't this man of destiny follow the usual path?

But the two did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly followed.

Then we saw this destined man rushing all the way.

Even the rat crossbowmen from Shamen Village couldn't hurt him at all.

When he was almost at Crouching Tiger Temple, he met the King of Saudi Arabia and his son who were delivering something to Tiger Vanguard, and the man with the destiny stopped.

I saw the tall Sha Erlang, holding a sledgehammer, growling all the time.

The small and thin King of Shah burst into tears, "Son, how should I know what to do? Who doesn't know what you are saying? How could I not know that he is eating our people?
The smell from the Crouching Tiger Temple had already spread far away, and the ground was covered with bone fragments!

But after the National Master came back, his temperament changed drastically. Now he is even more secluded and refuses to go out, allowing that hairy ball to do evil outside.

We have to endure the hardship, only by enduring it can we survive!"

Sha Jilang roared again.

King Shah was startled and angrily shouted, "Shut up, you idiot! Shut up! The great cause of revival still needs a long process... Hmm? What's that smell?"

Suddenly, he saw Sun Wukong coming towards Crouching Tiger Temple and immediately became happy: "Another two-legged sheep has come! Quick, catch him and send him to Tiger Vanguard, so that more of our people can live!"

"Interesting, interesting...freeze!" Sun Wukong simply raised his hand and pointed, freezing the rat demon father and son in place.

At this time, the headless monk and the yellow-robed official also followed.

They were all a little surprised when they saw that this man of destiny did not kill anyone.

The yellow-robed official sighed, "People today cannot see the moon of the past, but this moon once shone on the ancients. Neither the ancient Golden Kingdom nor the Kingdom of Shali exists anymore."

This pitiful, hateful, and tragic King Shah's family rose and fell because of rats, but who is actually plucking the strings of their fate?

The headless monk laughed and said, "Whether human, beast, Buddha, or demon, all living beings have their own roots and abilities, and are ranked by superiority and inferiority. They cannot act recklessly. But they have disrupted the principles of father and son, ruler and subject, and are unwilling to be human. This is their fate."

The yellow-robed official sneered, "What are you talking about again, about superiority and inferiority of rank? Doesn't Buddhism teach that all beings are equal?"

The headless monk smiled again: "This is not what equality of all beings means."

"Don't fart here!" Sun Wukong glanced at him.

"Yes, he was just farting!" The yellow-robed official laughed, "Let me tell you, this King of Sha was originally a human, the king of the ancient golden kingdom of Liusha, which later became the kingdom of Shali.

They originally revered Buddha, but then destroyed him, and thus suffered disaster. A bug carrying the Buddha's head began to wreak havoc in the country.

The country was not at peace until the Yellow Wind Monster, a yellow-haired mink, appeared with his subordinate Tiger Vanguard and helped them defeat the giant insect.

As a result, Huang Fengguai was given the title of national teacher.

Strangely, a major event later happened in the country of Shali, and the people here gradually turned into the appearance of rats.

The Yellow Wind Monster believed that he had brought disaster to the country, so he left the Kingdom of Shali and came to the Yellow Wind Ridge.

But his departure did not change anything, and the country quickly declined and became a wasteland."

"Hehe, it sounds like a Buddhist method." Sun Wukong also sneered.

Similar things happened a lot in the past when people were seeking Buddhist scriptures.

If you disrespect Buddha, disaster will befall you.

The situation of turning all the people in a country into rat monsters is exactly the same as that in Gao Village.

Then he passed the imprisoned King Shah and his son and went straight into the Crouching Tiger Temple.

Looking around, I saw a pool of blood in the temple, and a tiger was drinking blood by the pool.

The tiger demon heard the noise and cursed without even looking up, "Fuck you, what are you making so much noise for out there?

You old coward, you're so late again! Put your things down and go back to have your baby!

"If you're late next time and delay the king's training, I'll personally take your stupid son... Hmm? Another monkey?"

"Tiger Vanguard?"

"How dare you, little monkey, call me by my first name? I'll eat you!"

boom!
In response, a stick fell directly down on him.

The violent shadow of the stick instantly smashed the tiger into a pulp.

[Congratulations on completing the mission: Kill the Tiger Vanguard. Do you want to proceed with the mission settlement?]

The headless monk and the yellow-robed official who arrived later were shocked again.

This destined person is really different from the previous ones!

Suddenly, a mad tiger came roaring from the bottom of the mountain.

"You heartless bastard, you still dare to claim the title of Tiger Vanguard and continue to serve as that Yellow Wind Monster's subordinate... Who dares to kill my eldest brother? Roar!"

call out!
Another arrow shot out, directly killing the mad tiger that was rushing towards him in mid-air.

Seeing this, the yellow-robed official laughed and said, "Monk, you are completely useless. This man of destiny doesn't need any help from others. What do you think?"

The headless monk ignored him and walked forward, singing again: "Walk slowly, walk slowly, or you'll lose your head too..."

"Shut up!" Sun Wukong looked at him coldly and continued walking into the mountains, heading towards the place where he had seen strong winds in the clouds just now.

"Hahaha!" The yellow-robed official laughed loudly, mocking the headless monk.

"Amitabha, well done, well done." The headless monk chanted the Buddha's name calmly, "This time, I can finally get my head back."

The yellow-robed official's laughter stopped abruptly.
