With that, Tang Sanzang took the lead and rushed over with his nine-ringed monk staff. He smashed the staff on the Guanyin statue.
Since Jin Chi had placed the small treasury under the Guanyin statue, it meant that there must be some mechanism that could move the Guanyin statue. However, Tang Sanzang was too lazy to find the switch. Wouldn't it be nice to just smash it open?
"Bang!"
Sun Wukong followed closely behind and smashed the Guanyin statue with his stick, sending it flying backward. It smashed into the wall and instantly shattered into pieces.
Tang Sanzang was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect the gap between him and Sun Wukong to be so big. With the same attack, Tang Sanzang only smashed a hole in the Guanyin statue, but Sun Wukong directly smashed the Guanyin statue and sent it flying. The strength of a peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortal was indeed terrifying!
After sighing, Tang Sanzang's gaze fell on the bottom of the Guanyin statue. At this moment, a secret compartment was revealed.
Tang Sanzang stepped forward and opened the secret compartment without hesitation. He was stunned when he saw that the compartment was filled with gold ingots. Each gold ingot was as big as the one Lin Yu'e had given him. There were a total of 32 gold ingots!
A total of 3,200 gold taels!
Tang Sanzang was overjoyed. He quickly put all 3,200 gold taels into his System Space and then rummaged through it again, but he did not find anything else.
"This Golden Pool is too weak! There was only gold in the small treasury and not a single magic weapon?”Tang Sanzang said in disdain.
Tang Sanzang, who had several magic weapons and even a few spiritual treasures, did not know the hunger of a hungry man. The magic weapons and spiritual treasures of the world of the West were extremely precious. How could they be casually obtained?
"Master, why do you always like gold?”
Sun Wukong said in confusion. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the pillar at the side. In an instant, the wooden pillar turned golden, looking like it was completely made of gold.
"Isn't there a lot of such things with a little trick?”Sun Wukong pointed at the pillar in confusion.
Tang Sanzang was stunned at first and stared blankly at Sun Wukong's method of turning wood into gold. After a moment, Tang Sanzang's eyes regained clarity. He reached out and touched the golden pillar and said,
"Wukong, this is just an illusion, right?”
Sun Wukong nodded. For something without spiritual power, any illusion could turn anything into gold.
Tang Sanzang shook his head and waved his hand to break Sun Wukong's illusion. The pillar returned to its original state and said,"You don't understand. Real gold is completely different from the gold you created with your illusion.”
"Although I can use magic to create a lot of gold that mortals can't distinguish, only real gold can give me some sense of security!”Tang Sanzang sighed.
Although he could use illusions to deceive people now and there was no need to go through so much trouble for a little money, even Maha Kasyapa and Ananda in the Western Spirit Mountain would ask for benefits and money. This showed that gold was also very useful to immortals.
After collecting the gold, Tang Sanzang didn't waste any more time. He brought Sun Wukong and rode on the White Dragon Horse.
The next challenge would be Gao Laozhuang, Tang Sanzang's second disciple, Canopy Marshal Zhu Ganglie. However, Tang Sanzang was already thinking that he couldn't allow Zhu Bajie to become his disciple so easily like what was recorded in the original novel. He had to take this opportunity to do something and get some rewards from the system!
After all, Tang Sanzang already had 9,700 merit points. He only needed another 300 merit points to draw another Golden Treasure Chest.
The Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Experience Card from the Golden Treasure Chest last time was very cool!
Tang Sanzang traveled westward. From time to time, he asked Sun Wukong to ride the Somersault Cloud to buy some food from nearby villages and towns to reward his stomach. Along the way, it did not seem like he was painstakingly learning from the scriptures, but rather like he was traveling.
On this day, after Sun Wukong's investigation, Tang Sanzang was less than ten miles away from Gao Laozhuang.
Tang Sanzang stopped and said to Sun Wukong,""Wukong, your master will rest here for a while. Go and look for a place near Fuling Mountain. There is a cloud inn cave inside. There should be a pig demon living there. Go and investigate.”
When Sun Wukong heard this, although he was a little puzzled, he still replied honestly and left on a cloud.
Tang Sanzang sat on the suitcase and took out a water bag to drink. At this moment, a slightly familiar voice was heard. It was obviously calling for help.
"Ah! Help! Can anyone save me?"
Tang Sanzang's eyes lit up when he heard this. According to his many years of experience in reading Journey to the West, it was very likely that there was danger when he heard this kind of cry for help, and it was very likely to be a trap for Tang Sanzang.
"Little demon, you're really too inexperienced to play this trick in front of me!”
Tang Sanzang grinned and ran straight in the direction of the cry for help.
Every demon was a walking merit point bag. Since he had encountered Tang Sanzang, there was no reason to let him go!
The only thing that puzzled Tang Sanzang was that this voice sounded very similar to Lin Yu'e's. But how could Lin Yu'e be here?
Tang Sanzang rushed into the forest and saw a python as thick as a bowl closing in on a beautiful woman in a blue dress.
The woman fell to the ground and cried for help in panic. If no one helped her, she would probably become a delicacy in the python's stomach in a moment.
"Hey, evil beast, don't hurt anyone!" Tang Sanzang copied Liu Boqin's opening speech and threw the nine-ringed monk staff in his hand.
"Bang!"
The nine-ringed staff drew a beautiful arc in the air, then pierced through the python's head and nailed it to the ground.
The python's vitality was extremely tenacious. Even though its head was pierced through, its body was still struggling and swinging around. It looked like the python's tail was about to hit the woman's body.
"Hurting people in front of this holy monk, you must be tired of living!”
Tang Sanzang shouted and quickly rushed forward, blocking the python's tail before it hit the woman.
Looking at the snake tail that was coming at him, Tang Sanzang slapped his palm disdainfully and hit the snake tail, causing it to explode.
"Humph! Let's see if you still dare to be arrogant?" Tang Sanzang looked at the python that had slowly stopped and said disdainfully.
At this moment, a voice that was even more familiar to him came from behind Tang Sanzang.""Thank you, benefactor, for saving my life!"
"It's nothing. There's no need to say anything…" Tang Sanzang turned around and said in surprise,""Why is it you?"
