"Wukong is a double-edged sword, powerful but difficult to control," Tang Sanzang said slowly.
Doesn't this sound like the words of a superior?
It seems that the Tang Sanzang in Journey to the West is not as weak as imagined. At least when facing Sun Wukong, he maintains a high posture.
Just like love, starting with a low posture makes it difficult to raise your head later on.
Sun Wukong was suppressed by the tight-fitting headband, which eventually led Tang Sanzang to look down on him.
Ahem, this metaphor seems a bit off, doesn't it?
While Qin Jun was lost in thought, Liu Ruolai couldn't help but ask, "Who is Sun Wukong?"
"He is a hero from the childhood of the Chinese people," Qin Jun replied with a smile.
"Who are the Chinese people?"
"They are a combat nation that grew up on all kinds of junk food, and their strongest weapon is their eloquence, which can talk people to death."
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Except for Liu Ruolai, the rest of the gods and demons were also curious about the so-called Chinese people.
But Qin Jun did not elaborate further, as it would give away too much.
After Tang Sanzang returned, the atmosphere of the team became lively. Zhu Bajie and others were very curious about what Tang Sanzang had experienced and how he had made such rapid progress in his cultivation.
Qin Jun did not interrupt, but hesitated whether to summon the army of gods and demons. Up to now, he had accumulated two opportunities to summon the army of gods and demons.
In the end, he resisted the urge, as it was not suitable to bring the army while the team was advancing.
So he opened the Mythical Mall to browse.
With the conclusion of the Observing Heaven Conference, his reputation had spread across dozens of domains, and his fame had skyrocketed.
He had now accumulated 27 million fame points and did not want to buy elixirs. He wanted to buy a complete martial art technique. The Immortal Body he possessed was only a fragment, which could only allow him to cultivate to the level of a true immortal. Moreover, this was a body-refining technique, and it did not significantly enhance his magical power.
He also wanted to reach the stage of boundless strength and endless magical power!
After browsing for a while, Qin Jun found that the martial art technique he wanted was too expensive, and the cheaper ones were not suitable. He could only close the Mythical Mall with frustration.
It seems that he still needs to continue working hard!
...
In the blink of an eye, two days passed quickly.
Qin Jun and the others finally saw the outline of the human city, giving Qin Jun a feeling of seeing the light of day again.
Indeed, humans are social animals, and it is hard to imagine how lonely it must have been for Yi Lao to be imprisoned for thousands of years.
"When we enter the city, you can leave," Qin Jun said to Liu Ruolai. No matter how he observed her, besides finding it difficult to feel disgusted with her, he couldn't figure out what was extraordinary about Liu Ruolai.
But Ji Yongsheng had mentioned that even the system dared not analyze her rashly, indicating that this woman was indeed extraordinary.
"I don't know where to go," Liu Ruolai pouted and said with a grievance. She blinked her eyes, then chuckled and said, "How about this, I'll be your subordinate, let me follow you?"
"What can you do?" Qin Jun rolled his eyes without reservation and said bluntly, "You are too weak!"
Liu Ruolai was so angry that she wanted to grab Qin Jun, but he easily dodged her.
Watching the two of them playfully, the others shook their heads and smiled, already used to it.
Although Liu Ruolai was a bit of a drag, she added some liveliness to the team, and combined with Zhu Bajie's humor, it made the journey less boring.
"Following me, you can only be a maid at most!" Qin Jun raised his eyebrows and smiled. He liked to see Liu Ruolai itching with anger, like a little tiger.
"Okay! It's a deal!" Liu Ruolai actually agreed directly, not giving Qin Jun a chance to change his mind.
This made Qin Jun feel depressed and asked unkindly, "Are you starting to like me?"
Unexpectedly, Liu Ruolai's little face blushed instantly, and she said in a small voice, "No! Don't be conceited!"
Oh?
It seems so!
Qin Jun rubbed his chin, looking at Liu Ruolai with a playful expression.
To be fair, Liu Ruolai was quite beautiful, but she seemed a bit young, and having her as a holy concubine wouldn't make him lose face.
Soon, the team landed in front of the city gate, causing passing cultivators to discuss, and even the soldiers guarding the city became alert.
"They came from the clouds. These people are not simple!"
"Why is there a pig demon?"
"A monk, a pig demon, and a little girl, such a strange combination!"
"That pig demon's cultivation is not simple, at least at the fifth level!"
Qin Jun and the others ignored these criticisms and went straight to the city gate.
On the city gate were carved four characters, "Eastern Town Gate."
A soldier guarding the city gritted his teeth and stopped them, saying in a deep voice, "Monsters above the fifth level are not allowed to enter the city."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie became angry. "I used to be a god, and now I'm not even a monster. I'm the Envoy of the Clean Altar!"
Lord Qin waved his hand, signaling Zhu Bajie to calm down.
"Everyone, please make way!"
Lord Qin chuckled lightly and with a wave of his right hand, a thousand second-grade spirit stones appeared in front of the city gate, causing the passing cultivators to gasp in astonishment.
What a grand gesture!
The city guard felt a dryness in his throat.
"Not enough?" Lord Qin asked with a smirk, noticing the greed in the eyes of the other guards, and promptly summoned another thousand second-grade spirit stones.
With millions of second-grade spirit stones stored in his storage ring and mythical space, throwing out a few thousand was no big deal.
"That's enough, that's enough!" the guard hastily exclaimed, and immediately bent down to pick up the spirit stones, causing a commotion among the other guards.
Amidst the dumbfounded expressions of the other cultivators, Lord Qin and his companions proudly walked through the city gate.
No wonder so many people like to flaunt their wealth.
This extravagant display of money is indeed satisfying!
Lord Qin thought to himself as they entered the city unimpeded.
"Your Majesty, that was quite impressive," Zhu Bajie praised, his eyes wandering as he contemplated how to get some spirit stones from Lord Qin, so he could enjoy himself at places like Yichun Court and Drunken Red Pavilion for a few days.
Lord Qin gave him a disdainful look, knowing exactly what the pig was thinking.
Tang Sanzang shook his head and chuckled, "Your Majesty, as the Holy Emperor, you still appreciate these worldly means. Truly, you are wise and foolish at the same time."
If it were someone else of Lord Qin's status, they would probably have just stormed into the city.
Lord Qin didn't want to cause too much trouble, not because he was afraid, but simply because he found it bothersome.
Once they caused a commotion, it would definitely delay them for a long time.
"I didn't expect Eastern Town to be like this."
Liu Ruolai marveled at the bustling streets, drawing everyone's attention to the street.
The buildings on both sides of the street were grand, and carriages and merchant caravans weaved through the crowds. There were many cultivators coming and going, and Lord Qin noticed that most of them were at the Foundation Establishment stage or above, with a handful even at the Golden Core stage.
Eastern Town.
Could it be related to the Eastern Family?
Lord Qin thought to himself, just as he was about to ask Liu Ruolai, a commotion ahead caught their attention.
"Make way! Make way for this young master!"
A young man in blue riding a flaming four-hoofed horse came galloping, knocking down several cultivators along the way. And in front of him, stood Lord Qin and his group.
