Journey to the West: Don’t mess with that monster

The four masters and apprentices walked for a long time and the journey was smooth.

Not only were there no goblins in sight, but the scenery along the way was also beautiful, which gradually made them relax their vigilance.

Tang Monk was riding on his horse and looking farther. Suddenly he saw a high mountain which seemed to be connected with the sky from afar.

Elder Tang pointed with his whip in surprise, "Wukong, I don't know how high that mountain is. It seems to be connected to the blue sky and penetrate the blue sky."

"Master, there is an ancient poem that says: Only the sky is above, and no mountain is equal to it. But it means that the mountain is extremely high and there is nothing to compare to it, so how can it reach the sky!" The monkey was not idle along the way, and he also read a lot of books.

Tang Seng was very pleased that the monkey had started to read.

"If the mountain does not reach the sky, how can Mount Kunlun be called the Pillar of Heaven?" Zhu Bajie would always argue with the monkey whenever he had the chance.

There isn't much malice in this, it's more of a playful attitude.

"Haven't you heard this saying: Since ancient times, the sky has been dissatisfied with the northwest.

Kunlun Mountain is located in the northwest, so it means the top of the sky, hence the name "Heavenly Pillar".

"Brother Monkey, don't tell him these nice words. He will hear them and tell others about them. Let's hurry up and once we get to the top of the mountain, we will know how high it is." Sha Seng said while carrying his load.

Everyone was somewhat uncomfortable hearing that Mo Yu Luo Han no longer performed three pairs of exercises every day.

Elder Tang liked the atmosphere at this moment very much. He smiled and said, "Wu Jing is right. When we get to the top of the mountain, we will know how high it is."

Tang Monk was not afraid of the rugged mountain roads when he rode his white horse, and the three monkeys were even less afraid.

They went up the mountain without stopping.

When I first arrived at the foot of the mountain, I felt that the scenery was extremely beautiful.

It is a paradise on earth at first glance.

But when we reached halfway up the mountain, something went wrong.

I saw the deer carrying away the grass and the monkey picking peaches.

Foxes and raccoons jump back and forth on the cliff, while deer and roe deer play in and out of the ridge.

Suddenly I heard a tiger roaring, which frightened me. Leopards and wolves blocked my way.

The monkey sneered, took out his golden cudgel and slammed it hard on the ground.

The mountain seemed to shake.

The beasts were frightened and fled away. Monkeys went forward to clear the way, while Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng guarded them on both sides.

Tang Seng did not look worried, but instead looked excited.

When they passed this place and went down to the flat area, they suddenly saw auspicious light and colorful mist, and there was a tower and a palace, and the sound of bells and chimes could be heard faintly.

"Wukong, look where we are? I can vaguely hear the sound of Sanskrit."

The monkey stopped and looked over.

He looked for a while and said, "Master, there is a temple over there, but for some reason, amidst the auspicious light of Zen, there is also a sinister aura.

Looking at this scene, it is somewhat similar to the Leiyin Temple in Lingshan, but it is absolutely impossible for us to reach Lingshan at this time.

You must not enter this temple without permission, or you may be murdered."

Tang Seng felt a little regretful after hearing this, but he now trusted the monkey very much, so he didn't make any trouble like in the original book.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng looked at each other and said, "This may be another difficulty."

The monkey said, “If this is really a difficulty, then we will never enter that temple.

Whoever is in the temple, let him come out and fight us!"

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng nodded together.

They both sincerely felt that what the eldest brother said was right.

The four masters and apprentices followed the path and planned to bypass the temple.

They walked until nightfall. Zhu Bajie was so tired that he was out of breath, and the white horse kept neighing.

The monkey said helplessly, "Stop, let's take a rest here."

Tang Seng was also sweating profusely. He looked at the monkey and asked, "Wukong, have we avoided that temple now?"

The monkey looked at it and said, "We have bypassed it."

Gululu…

There was a rumbling in Tang Seng's stomach, and it was obvious that he was really thirsty and hungry.

"Master, let me get some vegetarian food." Sha Seng took the initiative to suggest.

Seeing this fish-slacking arhat taking the initiative, the monkey was naturally very happy. But the monkey looked around and was worried that Sha Seng was not strong enough and might be captured by the demon if he was careless.

Finally the monkey said, "Brother Sha, you and Bajie protect the master. I am a fast runner. I will go get us some vegetarian food."

"Okay, then, big brother, please be careful." Sha Seng was not pretentious.

The monkey took out his golden cudgel and drew a circle to ward off evil spirits.

Tang Seng and his two companions took the initiative to walk in, and Sha Seng also led the tired and panting white horse in.

The monkey then rode on a cloud to beg for food.

The Yellow-browed Patriarch in the Little Leiyin Temple waited for a long time but did not see Tang Seng coming, so he sent the little demon to patrol.

It turned out that they had bypassed the temple and were almost going down the mountain.

"It seems that I underestimated them." The Yellow-browed Old Ancestor laughed.

He made a hand gesture and chanted a spell.

In an instant, the Little Leiyin Temple disappeared from its original location.

In the demon-avoiding circle, the three people were so hungry and thirsty that they didn't want to talk. Zhu Bajie had a fruit hidden in his sleeve, and he took a bite when Tang Seng and Sha Seng were not paying attention.

"Second brother, what are you eating?" Sha Seng noticed and asked loudly.

"I didn't." Zhu Bajie denied hastily.

At this time, a golden light shone before his eyes. "Little Leiyin Temple!" Zhu Bajie was stunned.

For a moment, Sha Seng didn't know whether what he saw was true or false.

Tang Seng naturally stopped paying attention and looked at the two of them. But Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng didn't believe that a demon would dare to show up in front of the Buddha.

"Sanzang, you came from the East to pay homage to the Buddha, why are you still being lazy here?" The voice came along with bursts of Buddhist music.

Tang Seng subconsciously walked out of the demon circle. Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng looked at each other and stood on Tang Seng's left and right to protect him.

"Second brother, is this true or false?" Sha Seng asked.

"It's hard to say." Zhu Bajie replied in a low voice. "No demon would dare to pretend to be the Buddha..."

The fairies on Jin'ao Island should dare to do so, but they are too disdainful to do so.

"I'm now afraid that this is Master's opportunity. If we ruin Master's opportunity, wouldn't it be a heinous crime?" Zhu Bajie said again.

"We will escort Master in. If anything really happens, I will cover them. You escort Master out and wait for the eldest brother to come back and save me." Sha Seng said finally.

"Leave the matter of covering the rear to me, Second Brother," Zhu Bajie said seriously.

"Okay then." Sha Seng agreed decisively.

Zhu Bajie laughed when he heard this.

"Master, let's go in and take a look. You stay close to us." Zhu Bajie warned.

Tang Seng looked at the words "Xiao Leiyin Temple". He wanted to wait for the monkey, but he couldn't help but walk in...

When they reached the second-floor door, they saw the Tathagata Hall.

Outside the palace gate, beneath the treasure platform, there are five hundred arhats, three thousand gatekeepers, four vajras, eight bodhisattvas, bhikkhunis, upasakas, and countless holy monks and Taoists.

I just feel the fragrant flowers are gorgeous and the auspicious air is colorful.

At this time, not to mention Tang Seng, even Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng felt that this was true.

Tang Seng clasped his hands together and said, "I have a question in my mind, I want to ask you, Buddha!"

"You evil beasts are so bold! How dare you use the name of Buddha to deceive my master!" Suddenly the monkey's loud shout was heard.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng protected Tang Seng and fled outside.

The monkey stopped the group of monsters with just an iron rod. The Yellow-browed Patriarch did not expect that the monkey had such ability.

He didn't dare to delay any longer. If he let Tang Seng leave, the Buddha would definitely blame him. He took out something from his arms and threw it out. There was a ding sound in the air.

Unexpectedly, a pair of golden cymbals flew out and trapped the monkey, including its head and feet, inside the cymbals. However, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng had already helped Tang Seng escape from the temple.

The Yellow Eyebrow Patriarch shouted at his little demon, "Don't let Tang Monk escape."

After leaving the temple, Tang Seng still wanted them to rescue the monkey.

But Sha Seng carried Tang Seng on his back and ran away, but Zhu Bajie stopped him with a rake. At this time, all the little demons rushed out.

But Zhu Bajie was standing alone at the pass, and he actually had some of the aura of the former Marshal Tianpeng. For a moment, those little monsters were unable to do anything to him.

Finally, the Yellow Eyebrow Patriarch personally took action and captured Zhu Bajie.

But at this time, Sha Seng had already run far away carrying Tang Seng.

"Wujing, Wukong and Bajie have all been captured." Tang Seng was completely confused at this time, and he said in a crying voice.

"Master, don't worry." Sha Seng seemed very calm. "Those monsters are targeting you, as long as you are okay.

The eldest and second brothers were able to escape easily."

Hearing this, Tang Seng nodded. He thought for a moment and asked, "Wu Jing, what are the abilities of that demon?"

"Amazing!" After saying that, Sha Seng couldn't help but add, "Very amazing."

"What should we do?" Tang Seng said anxiously.

"Call for help!" Sha Seng said confidently. "If possible, I will rescue my eldest brother.

Those controlling magic weapons will cause great harm to the body. Although the eldest brother is very capable, the golden cymbal is probably not ordinary either."

Hearing what Sha Seng said, Tang Seng became very anxious.

"Then we should think of who to ask for help."

"Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea, and Jin'ao Island!" Sha Seng's rules were clear.

"Wujing, can I ask you a question?" Tang Seng suddenly asked.

"Master, feel free to ask me anything."

"If you have such ability, why do you slack off all the way? 'Slacking off', that's the word for it, right?" Tang Seng couldn't help asking.

Sha Seng was speechless for a while. Finally, he said, "Master, now is not the time to talk about this. I will first call the Five Directions Jie Di and the Four Valued Officials."

"Okay." Tang Seng nodded.

He knew that not causing any trouble was the biggest help he could offer. He also felt very sorry in his heart, wondering how good it would have been if he had not entered the Little Leiyin Temple.

Sha Seng chanted a mantra to call upon the Five Directions Jie Di and the Four Valued Officials.

In the end, only the Silver-headed Jie Di appeared.

"Why are you alone here?" Sha Seng asked unkindly.

"The Great Sage summoned us, and they are helping him escape." said the Silver-headed Jie Di.

"I will take care of my master here, and you go to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea to ask for help from Guanyin Bodhisattva. It is obvious that this monster is not an ordinary person. He even dares to pretend to be Tathagata Buddha." Sha Seng said.

Upon hearing this, the Silver-Headed Jie Di stood there awkwardly, not knowing how to start his speech for a moment.

"What time is it now? Just say whatever you want to say!" Sha Seng shouted impatiently.

"That demon has an extraordinary origin. Even if Bodhisattva comes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to subdue him." said Silver-headed Jie Di.

"What is the origin of that demon?" Sha Seng continued to ask. (End of this chapter)
