When Yang Ye was managing the library on Earth, he read a lot of books for leisure. He once read "Qingping Mountain Hall Stories" and remembered a story called "Inspector Chen Loses His Wife at Plum Ridge".

The story was about a scholar named Chen Xin. He was well-versed in both the pen and the sword. He had a new wife named Zhang Ruchun. She was as beautiful as a flower and was extremely beautiful. The couple fell in love with each other and were like fish in water. Later, Chen Xin participated in the imperial examinations and became the top three. After the Qionglin Banquet, he was appointed as the inspector of Guangdong Nanxiong. Chen Xin was at the peak of his life. He had just had his wedding night and it was time for him to pass the imperial examinations.
However, fortune and misfortune were unpredictable. In the blink of an eye, fate reversed. The True Immortal of Da Luo Immortal World, Ziyang Zhenren, predicted that Chen Xin's wife would face a thousand days of calamity. Out of pity for the couple, he sent his servant Luo Tong to escort them along the way.
Although Ziyang Zhenren had good intentions, Luo Tong was an unreliable immortal. He was proud of his immortal body and did not want to suffer the hardship of the journey. However, he was afraid of offending the True Immortal by retreating. He decided to make things difficult for Chen Xin and his wife and pretended to be crazy.
Chen Xin was kind and could tolerate it. However, Zhang Ruchun was a young lady and was narrow-minded. Seeing Luo Tong acting like this, she was annoyed and repeatedly suggested to drive him back.
One day, Luo Tong pretended to be stupid again. He cried and did not eat, and only said that he could not walk. Chen Xin sent another servant, Wang Ji, to help him along the way. However, after walking for five miles, he cried out that his waist hurt again and could not get up.
As a result, even the honest Chen Xin couldn't take it anymore. He accommodated Luo Tong because he hoped that this disciple of the Immortal Dao would be his bodyguard. Who would have thought that the one who came wasn't a bodyguard, but a sickly man instead? Seeing that Luo Tong was useless, he finally listened to his wife and chased him away.
After Luo Tong left, Chen Xin, Zhang Ruchun, and the servant Zhang Ji traveled all the way to Plum Ridge. They met Shen Yanggong, the demon monkey spirit of Plum Ridge. Seeing that Zhang Ruchun was as beautiful as a flower, he wanted to steal her.
Shen Yang Gong then used the supernatural power of 'driving the gods and dispatching the generals' to order the mountain deity to transform into an inn and he himself became the owner. Chen Xin and his wife did not know what was good for them. They walked right into the trap and stayed in this inn. That night, Shen Yang Gong cast a spell and swept up a demonic wind, blowing Zhang Ruchun away. As a result, the couple was tragically separated.
Zhang Ruchun was sucked into the demon cave. Originally, it would have been difficult for her to keep her chastity. However, this Shen Yang Gongyan was a womanizer who loved to act pretentious. Even though he acted like a whore, he still maintained his chastity. He was just like Bai Suzhen's enemy, Fa Hai. His mind was obviously filled with thoughts of rolling in bed with the girl, but he was unwilling to use force. He was only waiting for the beauty to throw herself into his arms.
Shen Yang Gong sent out his wife Peony from the palace to tempt Zhang Ruchun with immortality and immortal peaches and immortal wine. But Zhang Ruchun was a chaste woman, she would rather die than submit. She also offended Shen Yang Gong's other wife, Jin Lian, so she was reported back to Shen Yang Gong.
The old monkey flew into a rage out of humiliation, but he was not so despicable as to directly rape Zhang Ruchun. He only cut her hair short, made her unkempt and barefoot, and punished her to go to the top of the mountain to water the flowers and fetch water. He made the young miss, who was as beautiful as a flower, serve as a handyman.
Just like this, Zhang Ruchun suffered in the Plum Ridge demon cave. Patrol Inspector Chen and his attendant searched everywhere for his wife, but to no avail. It was not until three years later that they received instructions from the Red Lotus Temple's abbot, Master Da Hui, that they received news of their wife. They knew that she had been captured by the monkey demon Shen Yang Gong, who often visited the Red Lotus Room to listen to Zen and preach about Buddhism.
Chen Xin waited in the temple in secret. When Shen Yang Gong arrived, he pulled out his sword and chopped at his head.
Unfortunately, although Chen Xin's martial arts were high, Shen Yang Gong was a top-notch demon immortal with great magical power. He pointed his finger and the sword pierced Chen Xin's body. Out of respect for Master Da Hui, the monkey demon did not kill them all. He only left in anger. After returning, Shen Yang Gong was so angry that he almost cut Zhang Ruchun's stomach open and took her heart out. Fortunately, the two women, Peony and Jinlian, saved her.
After that, Chen Xin received instructions from Master Da Hui again. He first sneaked into the Plum Ridge to meet his wife, Ruchun. He then asked Immortal Ziyang to personally come down the mountain. With a raise of his hand, he captured the monkey demon Shen Yang Gong and rescued Zhang Ruchun and many other women from the cave.
In the end, Chen Xin and Zhang Ruchun met again. After suffering, happiness came. From then on, they grew old together. It was a happy reunion comedy.
At this time, Yang Ye used the Round Turtle to calculate the origin of this young Langjun. Unexpectedly, he calculated that his name was also Chen Xin. However, he was no longer the Zhuangyuan, nor was he a patrol inspector. He only had the courtesy name of 'patrol inspector'. However, this Chen Xin's attendant was also called Wang Ji. His lost wife's name was also Zhang Ruchun.
In addition, in this Chen Xin's memory, they also encountered the story of Immortal Ziyang and Luo Tong. The place where his wife, Zhang Ruchun, went missing was also a nameless shop in the Plum Ridge. She disappeared after a demonic wind blew. Looking at the method, it was exactly the same as how Shen Yang Gong drove the mountain god and the strange wind to take her away.
Yang Ye also relied on his Divine Ability, which was comparable to the Divine Ability of a Fifth Tribulation. He directly calculated Zhang Ruchun's whereabouts. In the Middle Yang Cave of the Plum Ridge, in the mythical battlefield of the Journey to the West, there was actually another Great Sage Equalling Heaven!
At this time, a notification from the Fortune Hall suddenly sounded. "Savior M007, you have triggered the hidden mission of eliminating demons in the Plum Ridge. You can choose to assist Chen Xin in saving his wife and subduing the monkey demon."
"Please note that the monkey demon Shen Yang Gong is a key character in the plot of this world. He has a complicated and special bloodline. If you choose to accept the mission, you will become the enemy of the demon race. Apart from the monkeys of the Flowerfruit Mountain and the Wise Stone Monkey, the rest of the monkey race and the three Divine Monkeys of Chaos will see you as their mortal enemy. The demons of each race will have an additional innate hatred for you."
When Yang Ye heard the notification, he couldn't help but sigh faintly. "Chaos, this is really chaos. Is this still the normal Journey to the West? It's clearly a modified version of the Journey to the West. "
It turned out that according to the settings of the Tranquil Mountain Hall's commentary, this Great Sage Equalling Heaven who abducted a civilian girl, Shen Yang Gong, wasn't fighting alone. He had a huge army of Great Sages of the monkey race behind him. He had two elder brothers. One was the Omnipotent Great Sage, and the other was the Omnipotent Great Sage. He also had a sworn sister who was the most powerful. She was known as the Water Ape Saintess and the Holy Mother of Sizhou. It was very likely that she was one of the Four Spiritual Monkeys.
The Redbone Horse Monkey understood Yin and Yang, understood human affairs, and was good at getting in and out. He avoided death and extended life.
Although the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Shen Yang Gong, was a hidden boss in the Mythical Battlefield, Yang Ye wasn't afraid of him. Based on his experience of defeating the reincarnated Master Flower Crusher of the Archerons, he definitely didn't think that he was inferior to Sage Ziyang.
However, Yang Ye's identity was a savior, and the Mythical Battlefield was a place controlled by the Sages. Even if they didn't count the mysterious punishers of the special organization who had once suppressed and defeated Ran Min, and the Celestial Court's Celestial Emperor who controlled the Investiture of the Gods, as long as they entered the normal mission of Journey to the West, they would become a huge threat to Yang Ye. They would launch an endless pursuit to kill him.
And the hidden demons along the way from the Middle Earth to the Western Paradise in the Journey to the West would be the only power that Yang Ye could borrow. With the royal aura of the Emperor and the benevolence of the Sage, the probability of winning the support of the demons was extremely high.
If Yang Ye chose to help Chen Xin and become an enemy of Shen Yang Gong, it would be equivalent to completely eliminating the advantage of the royal aura of the Emperor. In the future, it would be extremely difficult for him to borrow the power of the demons. It could be said that it would cause a hundred harm and a rare benefit. After all, Chen Xin and his wife were only mortals. It seemed that other than satisfying his original sense of chivalry, Yang Ye wouldn't be able to obtain any substantial benefits.
If it were any other transmigrator, as long as they had a brain, they would make the most correct choice when faced with such a situation. And although Yang Ye's brain was active and he wasn't usually a saint, he was the only one among the transmigrators in the Space of Creation who had the profession of "Wuxia".
What was a chivalrous person? It was a person who would do what he said, and would be true to his words. He didn't care about his body, and would go to the trouble of a thousand miles to recite righteousness. Chen Xin was a benevolent and righteous person who was sincere and unafraid of danger. And Zhang Ruchun was a chaste woman who was mighty and unyielding. When Yang Ye was studying on Earth, he respected them very much. Such good people shouldn't be humiliated by demons.
Immortal Ziyang once received Chen Xin's favor, but he entrusted it to the wrong person first. He sat and watched as Zhang Ruchun was humiliated for a thousand days. It was really cold and shameful. As for the servant Luo Tong, he pretended to be stupid, which was even more disgusting. His behavior was comparable to that of Zhu Mei and Drunken Taoist in the World of Shu Mountain Swordsman. He was simply a disgrace to the name of a righteous immortal.
"Well, Patrol Inspector Chen, it's fate that you met me. I'll help you and your lovers to end the Thousand Days Calamity. Moreover, the illustrious name of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal shouldn't be tarnished by a monkey who snatches women. "
Thinking of this, Yang Ye didn't hesitate and chose to accept the mission of eliminating the demons in Mei Ling. He also used the Heaven Teleportation Technique to inform Yang Zirong and Yuan Man to temporarily stay in the tavern to drink. He turned into a golden light and quietly followed Chen Xin and his servant who were looking for their wife.
Chen Xin cried and asked everywhere for his wife's whereabouts, but in the end, he didn't find anything.
Not long after, he rode a winding horse to Mei Ling. He saw a straw hut and a fortune teller waiting outside the door. He opened his mouth and sang, "Yang Huohua, please write a fortune teller. There is no difference between fortune and misfortune."
Chen Xin had always been a great admirer of Buddhism and Taoism. He also saw that this fortune teller's eyes were shining brightly, he had the demeanor of a transcendent being, he was handsome and elegant, and his appearance was extraordinary. Suddenly, he felt a sense of trust and friendliness. He quickly got down from his horse and left the saddle. He kowtowed and said, "I beg for your guidance."
The fortune teller hurriedly reached out and helped him up, "Young Master, you're too kind. Please get up. It's fate that we met. Tell me everything in detail and see if I can help you. "
Chen Xin then recounted the events of the day before yesterday at the Plum Ridge, and how his beloved wife, Zhang Ruchun, was blown away by a strange wind. Fortune teller Yang immediately burned incense and started a divination. He came to a conclusion in a flash, but the content of the divination was: Mei Ling met with calamity, the beauty was determined. A talented man can cultivate the devil's fire, but the mirror's crack can be healed first. "
Fortune teller Yang explained, "Young Master Chen, your wife has met with a thousand days of calamity. Although she is temporarily in danger and suffering, she will be fine in the future. Three years later, she will be reunited as husband and wife."
"For the time being, I have to endure thousands of dangers and thousands of sufferings? This won't do. I can't let Ruchun suffer for such a long time. Sir, please teach me. Is there any other way to save my wife in advance? " Chen Xin heard this and became even more distressed. He knelt on the ground and gave up all his dignity as a man. He hugged Fortune Teller Yang's leg as if it was a life-saving straw.
What was strange was that this handsome man who looked like a Human Immortal didn't seem to care at all. There was even a hint of praise in his eyes. However, what he said next didn't seem to be friendly at all. "A thousand days of calamity is a thousand days of calamity after all. How can it end early? If you want your wife to pass the calamity in advance, you must have someone to suffer for her. You must experience a thousand dangers and ten thousand hardships for her."
Chen Xin suddenly raised his head and puffed out his chest. He said resolutely, "As long as you can save my wife early and let her suffer less, I will not hesitate to climb a mountain of blades or dive into a sea of fire."
Fortune teller Yang continued, "The one who captured your wife is actually a demon. If you end her thousand days of calamity in advance, she might lose her chastity. Don't tell me you don't regret this?!"
"This …" Although Chen Xin was deeply in love with his wife and wasn't afraid of sacrificing himself, he still couldn't break away from the tradition of Huaxia's Yan Huang Tribe men being cuckolded. He hesitated for a moment, but soon his eyes became resolute. He said in a low voice, "It is all because of my incompetence that my wife fell into the hands of a demon and suffered such torment. At this moment, I only hate that I can't take her place. I only ask for Sir's advice on how to save my wife. As long as my wife returns safely, everything will be fine. "
"Very good. You are indeed infatuated. Let me give you a hand." Yang Xiangshi suddenly laughed. He stood up and took out an exquisite gourd. He opened the lid and released a red light.
In an instant, red banners as tall as two people were erected in all directions of the grass hut. On the banners, there was an image of Fire God Zhurong.
Yang Xiangshi flicked his finger and said coldly, "It is not difficult to save your wife, but you must make offerings in advance. Prince Chen, I don't want anything else from you. I just want your life … "
Before he finished speaking, the red banners grew in the wind. In an instant, they wrapped around the entire Plum Ridge and burned with a thousand feet of demonic fire.
