Journey to the West: A Mouse's Debt

Salt Mouse, a low-ranking little demon under the Bottomless Cave on Trapped Hollow Mountain, was saddled with a debt recorded in the sect’s ledger from the moment he joined: three human heads, with interest piling up. The sect’s members cultivated their powers by eating buns stuffed with human flesh, and everyone in the cave ate them. He alone couldn’t bring himself to take a bite, until the Rebirth Mantra rang out at the Water and Land Dharma Assembly. Only then did he remember that what he owed from his previous life was far more than what the ledger showed. The story of a little demon who keeps accounts, pays his debts, and finally sets out on the road.
