Chapter 663: Journey to the West: Zhu Jiumei 22
With the villagers' thanks, the master and his disciples once again set out on the road to the west. On this day, the sun was scorching, and the master and his disciples walked on the winding mountain road, all thirsty and hungry.

"Master, I'm going to go and beg for some vegetarian food." Sun Wukong somersaulted and disappeared.

Tang Monk sat under a big tree to rest, and Zhu Jiumei and Sha Monk were guarding him. Not long after, a young and beautiful woman came over, with a graceful figure and a pretty face.

“My elders, it’s so hot and you must have been tired from traveling. Why don’t you come to my house and sit down, rest your feet, and have some tea and food?” The woman’s voice was clear and crisp, like an oriole chirping out of a valley.

Tang Seng put his hands together and was about to thank and agree, when Sun Wukong, who had just returned from begging for alms, somersaulted and fell in front of everyone.

“Monster, stop lying!” Sun Wukong took a look with his fiery eyes, raised his golden cudgel and hit the woman.

The woman screamed and fell to the ground dead.

Seeing this, Tang Seng shouted angrily: "Wukong, you naughty monkey, how dare you hurt others at will!"

Sun Wukong hurriedly explained: "Master, this woman is a demon in disguise, don't be fooled by her appearance.

Before he finished speaking, some images suddenly flashed through Sun Wukong's mind. It was the scene of him and Bai Jingjing playing and laughing in Huaguo Mountain. For a moment, a complex emotion surged in his heart.

"Wukong, stop quibbling. Monks are supposed to be compassionate. How can you obtain the true scriptures if you kill innocent people like this?" Tang Seng was so angry that his face turned pale.

"Master, I will never be wrong." Sun Wukong scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman came from a distance and saw the body of the young woman on the ground with tears in her eyes.

"Elder, my daughter invited you to be our guest with good intentions, but this elder wants to kill my daughter. Where is justice?" The woman cried bitterly.

Sun Wukong raised his golden cudgel again: "Monster, you still dare to act so pretentiously!"

With one blow, the middle-aged woman died in front of everyone. Sun Wukong's mind once again emerged with the scene of him and Bai Jingjing walking by the stream and talking to each other.

"Wukong, please go away. I don't want a disciple like you!" Tang Seng was so angry that he turned around and stopped looking at him.

"Master, Master!" Sun Wukong quickly knelt on the ground, "Master, please believe me, this is really a monster."

Zhu Jiumei also said, "Master, Senior Brother's Fiery Eyes and Golden Eyes have never been wrong. Maybe there is a misunderstanding here."

Sha Seng stood silently by, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, the two corpses on the ground instantly turned into white bones, and then transformed into a woman again, with a strange smile on her lips.

"Hmph, Sun Wukong, have you forgotten our past?" The woman's voice became eerie and terrifying.

When Sun Wukong heard this, his heart was shocked and memories came flooding back.

Once upon a time, the wonderful time he and Bai Jingjing spent together in Huaguo Mountain, those vows, those laughter, seemed like it was just yesterday.

"Jingjing, is that you?" A trace of pain flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes.

"Hahahaha, Sun Wukong, you killed me twice with your own hands. From now on, you and I are no longer friends!" After the woman said this, she turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared.

Seeing this, Tang Seng sighed and said, "Wukong, no matter what the reason is, it is wrong for you to kill."

Sun Wukong looked at the direction where the black smoke disappeared and remained silent for a long time.

"Master, I know I was wrong, but this monster was really cunning. I was only trying to protect you and my fellow disciples." Sun Wukong lowered his head.

Tang Seng looked at Sun Wukong and felt a little reluctant: "Forget it, this won't happen again."

The master and his disciples continued to move forward, but Sun Wukong's heart was full of doubts and pain. He didn't understand why Bai Jingjing, whom he once loved deeply, became like this.

In the evening, they came to a dilapidated temple.

"Master, let's rest here tonight." said Sun Wukong.

Everyone walked into the temple, which was filled with dust and cobwebs.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and the surroundings became eerie and terrifying.

"Oh no, there's an evil spirit!" Sun Wukong shouted vigilantly.

The White Bone Demon appeared again, and this time she looked even more hideous and terrifying.

"Sun Wukong, today is the day you die!" The White Bone Demon pounced on him with his fangs bared and his claws.

Sun Wukong was not afraid at all and fought a desperate battle with the White Bone Demon.

During the fight, Sun Wukong's mind was constantly flashing with his past with Bai Jingjing, and his heart was filled with conflict and pain.

"Jingjing, why are you doing this?" Sun Wukong shouted while beating her.

The White Bone Demon sneered, "Sun Wukong, you are so ungrateful and heartless. Today I will make you pay the price!"

Sun Wukong gritted his teeth, used all his strength, and hit the White Bone Demon with a stick.

With only a scream, the White Bone Demon was finally reduced to ashes.

Sun Wukong also collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion.

"Big Brother, how are you?" Zhu Jiumei and Sha Seng ran over to help him up. Sun Wukong looked up at the sky, tears in his eyes: "I killed the person I loved the most with my own hands. How sad it is."

Tang Seng walked over slowly, clasping his hands together and said, "Wukong, everything in the world has cause and effect. This may be your fate. Only by letting go of your obsession can you be free."

After listening to what Tang Seng said, Sun Wukong was thoughtful.

At night, the temple was exceptionally quiet. Sun Wukong sat alone in front of the Buddha statue, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

The next morning, the sun shone into the temple, and the master and his disciples set out on the journey to the west again. Sun Wukong's eyes became more determined, he knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, he would protect his master and obtain the true scriptures.

Along the way, the scenery was picturesque, with green mountains and clear waters. The master and his disciples walked through a dense forest, with birds singing happily on the branches.

"Master, after this incident, I understand that we should not be obsessed with emotional matters. Only by devoting ourselves to Buddhism can we achieve the right result." Sun Wukong said.

Tang Seng smiled and nodded: "Wukong, it's good that you think this way."

Zhu Jiumei also said: "Big Brother, let the past be the past, we still have to look forward."

Sha Seng smiled naively and said, "Yes, Big Brother, let's continue on our journey."

A few people talked and laughed and continued to move forward.

Soon, they came to a prosperous town, which was bustling with people coming and going.

"Master, let's go and have some vegetarian food." said Sha Seng.

The group came to an inn, where the innkeeper welcomed them warmly.

"Elders, where are you from and where are you going?" the boss asked curiously.

Tang Monk replied: "I came from the Tang Dynasty in the East and went to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures."

The boss was filled with admiration after hearing this: "So you are a great monk from the Tang Dynasty. I am so sorry for your disrespect."

Just then, a child ran over and accidentally bumped into Sun Wukong.

"Ouch!" The child fell to the ground.

Sun Wukong quickly helped the child up: "Little kid, are you okay?"

The child looked at Sun Wukong with curiosity in his eyes: "Are you a monkey?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

After the vegetarian meal, the master and his disciples continued on their journey.

Walking out of the town, there is an endless desert before your eyes.

"This desert doesn't look easy to walk in." Zhu Jiumei said.

"Everyone be careful and follow me closely." Sun Wukong led the way.

In the desert, the sun was blazing and the wind was blowing. The master and his disciples moved forward with difficulty.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up the yellow sand all over the sky, forming a huge vortex.

"Oh no! It's a monster!" Sun Wukong shouted.

Then a huge monster walked out of the whirlpool, with a green face and fangs, looking extremely ferocious.

"Hahahaha, Tang Seng's flesh is mine!" The monster opened his bloody mouth and pounced over.

Sun Wukong did not back down and fought a fierce battle with the monster.

Zhu Jiumei and Sha Seng also assisted.

After a hard fight, Sun Wukong finally found the monster's weakness and killed it with one stick.

"Master, it's okay." said Sun Wukong.

Tang Seng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Amitabha, I am lucky to have you."

The master and his disciples continued to move forward in the desert. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, casting long shadows.

After several days of trekking, they finally walked out of the desert.

"Oh, I finally got out." Zhu Jiumei breathed a sigh of relief.

"There should be a village ahead. Let's go there and take a rest." said Sun Wukong.

Sure enough, there was a village not far away. The master and his disciples walked into the village, and the villagers were very welcoming when they saw them.

"Elders, please come in and sit down." said an old man.

The master and his disciples stayed in the village for one night and continued their journey westward the next day.

As the days passed, the master and his disciples experienced countless hardships and obstacles, but they never gave up and walked firmly towards the West.
