Chapter 649: Journey to the West: Zhu Jiumei 8
"What's going on?" Sun Wukong asked loudly.

Zhu Jiumei observed the surroundings and said, "Brother, it seems that there is a powerful dark force affecting the order of the underworld."

Just then, a dark shadow passed by them from behind.

"Who?" Sun Wukong turned around and chased after him.

Zhu Jiumei followed closely behind.

The black shadow stopped in front of a palace, turned around, and revealed a hideous face.

"Haha, you guys are finally here."

Sun Wukong shouted angrily: "Who are you? How dare you make trouble here!"

The black shadow sneered and said, "I am the King of Darkness. Today I will make this underworld my territory!"

After saying that, he waved his hands, and a powerful dark force attacked Sun Wukong and Zhu Jiumei.

Sun Wukong was not afraid at all and rushed forward waving his golden cudgel.

Zhu Jiumei also used all her skills and launched a thrilling battle with the Dark Lord.

The ghosts in the underworld were so scared that they hid away, and the entire underworld fell into chaos.

After a hard fight, Sun Wukong and Zhu Jiumei gradually gained the upper hand.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Dark Lord wanted to escape.

“Where are you going!” Sun Wukong chased after him with a somersault cloud and beat the Dark King to ashes with one blow.

Peace finally returned to the underworld.

The King of Hell burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you two heroes for your help. If it weren't for you, the underworld would be in danger."

Sun Wukong waved his hand: "You're welcome. This is what I should do."

One day, Zhu Jiumei was walking in the forest with Sun Wukong, and suddenly Meng Lu's voice came into her mind: "Host, your junior brother has been found, go find him quickly."

Zhu Jiumei was delighted and asked quickly, "Where is it?"

"Liusha River." Meng Lu's voice responded in her mind.

Zhu Jiumei quickly told Sun Wukong about this: "Brother, Junior Brother is in the Flowing Sand River, let's go find him now."

Sun Wukong blinked his fiery eyes and replied, "Then I, Old Sun, would like to see what this Junior Brother looks like."

"Brother, in order to make things easier for you in the future, you'd better go to the Buddha to ask for an edict..." Zhu Jiumei said in Sun Wukong's ear.

"Okay, junior sister, you wait here for me, I'm leaving now." After saying this, Sun Wukong disappeared.

Zhu Jiumei waited in the forest for a while, and then Sun Wukong came back: "Junior sister, the matter is done, we can go find Junior Brother now."

After saying that, the two of them flew on the clouds and headed towards the Liusha River.

Soon, they arrived at the Liusha River, where the water was turbid and turbulent, with huge waves surging from time to time.

Sun Wukong stood on the clouds and shouted towards the river: "Hey! Monster in the river, come out quickly!"

The sound was like thunder, echoing over the Quicksand River.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge column of water suddenly surged up from the river, and a green-faced, fang-toothed, and red-haired monster jumped out of the water, holding a magic staff and roaring, "Where did you come from, you thief, to dare to shout here!"

Seeing this, Sun Wukong swung his golden cudgel and shouted, "Hey! You monster, how rude of you!"

The monster showed no fear and attacked Sun Wukong with his magic staff. Sun Wukong dodged and fought with him.

Zhu Jiumei hurriedly shouted, "Stop fighting, we are here to look for you."

The monster would not listen and continued to attack fiercely. Sun Wukong was enraged and used all his strength to swing his golden hoop with great force. The monster gradually lost the upper hand and was panting.

Zhu Jiumei took the opportunity to say, "Junior brother, we are here on God's orders, please don't be stubborn anymore."

The monster heard this, stopped what he was doing, and asked suspiciously, "Heaven's will? How come I have never heard of it?"

Zhu Jiumei patiently explained: "The destiny is the guidance of heaven. Our master is the one appointed by the Buddha in the West to obtain the scriptures. You and I are both his disciples. We must go to the West together to obtain the scriptures and achieve enlightenment."

The monster pondered for a moment and said, "Are you telling the truth?"

Sun Wukong jumped over and said, "I never lie. If you don't believe me, just come with us to find our master. I also have the edict on me." After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he took out the edict of Tathagata Buddha from his arms.

The monster glanced at the decree, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I have been a monster in this Flowing Sand River for many years and have done a lot of evil. Can you really tolerate me?"

Zhu Jiumei stepped forward and said sincerely: "As long as you sincerely change your ways and practice good deeds, the past will be forgiven."

A trace of emotion flashed in the monster's eyes. He put down his staff and said, "Forget it, in this case, I am willing to go with you."

Zhu Jiumei smiled and nodded, saying, "Very good, then from now on, you will travel with us. I will give you a name, Wujing, how about that?" The monster bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister, for the name."

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Haha, that's good. The three of us brothers are now complete."

The three decided to take a short rest before setting off again. Zhu Jiumei talked with Wujing to learn about his past in the Liusha River.

Wujing sighed and said, "I was originally an official in the heavenly palace. Because I accidentally broke a colored glass cup, I was banished to the lower world and suffered in this Flowing Sand River. I felt a lot of resentment and did a lot of evil things."

Zhu Jiumei comforted him, "Now that you have changed your ways, you will have a good future."

He nodded heavily.

After resting, the three of them set out on their journey to continue looking for their master. Along the way, Sun Wukong was still lively and active, teasing Wujing from time to time, making Wujing laugh and cry.

Zhu Jiumei always reminded them to concentrate on their journey.

As we walked, we saw a high mountain in front of us. The mountain was steep and shrouded in clouds and mist.

Sun Wukong squinted his eyes and looked at it, saying, "This mountain exudes an evil aura. I'm afraid there are monsters."

Wu Jing held the staff tightly and said, "Brother, we should be careful."

The three of them walked into the mountain cautiously. Suddenly, a strong wind blew past, and a sinister laugh was heard in the wind.

"Haha, where did you come from? It's just the right thing for me to have a snack!" A huge monster appeared in front of them.

Sun Wukong raised his stick and started to fight. The monster was not to be outdone and fought with Sun Wukong.

Zhu Jiumei and Wujing watched the battle from the sidelines, ready to provide support at any time.

Sun Wukong and the monster were fighting to a standstill. The monster gradually became exhausted and wanted to escape.

Wujing was quick to throw out his magic staff and trip the monster. Sun Wukong took the opportunity to hit the monster with his stick, revealing its true form, which turned out to be a giant black bear demon.

Zhu Jiumei stepped forward and said, "You monster, you have been doing evil here. Meeting us today is your fate."

The black bear demon begged for mercy: "Please spare my life, my dear heroes. I will never dare to do it again."

Sun Wukong snorted, "I won't spare you, or you'll cause harm to others in the future."

As he spoke, he was about to end his life.

Zhu Jiumei hurriedly stopped him: "Brother, wait a minute. God is merciful. If he truly repents, why not let him live."

The black bear demon kowtowed quickly and said, "Thank you for not killing me. I will definitely mend my ways." After saying that, he hurried away.

The three of them continued on their journey, going through many hardships and dangers. One day, they came to a busy town.

The town was crowded with people and shouts were heard one after another.

Wu Jing looked around curiously and said, "This world is quite lively."

Zhu Jiumei smiled and said, "Let's find a place to rest for a while."

They went into an inn and ordered some food.

While eating, I suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

Zhu Jiumei went out to check, and saw a group of people surrounding an old man, pointing and talking.

Zhu Jiumei went forward to ask and found out that the old man’s daughter had been abducted by a monster.

Zhu Jiumei returned to the inn and told Sun Wukong and Wujing about this.

Sun Wukong slammed the table and said, "How dare this monster do evil in broad daylight? I, Sun Wukong, will definitely deal with him."

The three men asked the old man where the monster lived and went to rescue it.

The monster's cave was located on a mountain outside the city and was surrounded by traps.

Sun Wukong led the way, carefully avoiding traps.

Finally arriving in front of the cave, Sun Wukong kicked the door open and shouted, "Monster, hand the person over!"

The monster came out and sneered, "How dare you come and die?"

A fierce battle broke out again.

In the end, with the concerted efforts of the three, they successfully defeated the monster and rescued the old man's daughter.

The old man thanked them profusely, and the three of them left the town amid people's praises.

After this series of events, the relationship between Zhu Jiumei, Sun Wukong and Wujing became deeper and deeper, and they became more determined to go to the West to obtain the scriptures.

As the sun sets, the figures of the three people gradually move away in the afterglow, continuing to walk towards the unknown front...
