Chapter 31: Who taught Jīn Chánzǐ to practice cultivation? Did friends visit each other?

    The peddlers and children all dissipated into thin smoke, leaving the steamed bun stall which also "Boom!" turned into several large stones. This caused several officials to retreat in fear. Hu Yuyu shuddered and whispered, "Thank goodness Master was clever. If we had eaten those buns, we'd have broken our teeth! Could they be demons from Wolf Gorge Cave chasing us?"

[Sun Wukong]: "@Jiang Liu’er @Muscle Tang Could you free me from Five-Finger Mountain?" [Jiang Liu’er]: "But we're in different worlds!" [Pigsy]: "We can cross dimensions!" Suddenly realizing interdimensional travel, Jiang Liu’er’s mind raced...
