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

Xiaosheng took them both back to Jin'ao Island.

"Master, I'll return the Golden Dragon Shears to you." The six-eared macaque returned the treasure to Zhang Qingdi.

I have to say this baby is really powerful. It can cut the Maitreya Buddha's human bag just by saying so.

Liu'er Mihou wanted to ask Zhang Qingdi how many merit points the Golden Dragon Shears would cost, but when he thought about the fact that he was in debt again, he held back the idea.

Wait until you have paid off your debts before asking again!
Emperor Zhang Qing put away the Golden Dragon Shears and asked, "Did you have a smooth journey?"

"It went very smoothly. We cut open the seed bag of Maitreya Buddha, and Brother Saint also treated us to a melon feast." Liu'er said with a smile.

As soon as they came out of the Qingdi Palace, Yang Erlang pulled them aside to ask about the detailed process.

After being criticized by Zhang Qingdi, Xiaobailong now concentrates on his own cultivation and no longer follows the two of them around to play all day.

Emperor Zhang Qing was going to practice for a while. He turned to Qingqing and asked, "Where's Xiaohong?"

This Xiaohong is the red-scaled python that Zhang Qingdi brought back before. This guy had transformed once before, but strangely enough, after she successfully transformed, she returned to her demon form and could not transform into a human form.

Zhang Qingdi is also a great demon who has practiced for many years.

Having never seen such a situation before, he went to ask the old monk. This also surprised the ancient Buddha Dipankara. After checking, the old monk just said that the opportunity had not yet arrived.

Zhang Qingdi always thought that the old monk didn't know the reason and didn't want to lose face, so he was fooling people here.

Fortunately, he didn't say this in front of the old monk, otherwise Zhang Qingdi would have been beaten two or three times.

"She is now hiding in her cave all day and doesn't want to come out." Qingqing felt a little worried when she mentioned her.

"I'll go and take a look." said Zhang Qingdi.

After the monkeys pass the Little Leiyin Temple, they will arrive at Xishi Lane in Qijue Mountain, where the red-scaled python was.

At that time, Emperor Zhang Qing asked her to clean up the persimmons on the mountain and gave her a chance. It was only after she did it that Emperor Zhang Qing took her by his side.

Now that she has transformed, she has turned into a demon again.

Zhang Qingdi wondered if it had something to do with the Qi Jue Mountain.

The hilltop of the red-scaled python is in the most inconspicuous corner.

Zhang Qingdi took great pains to find her hilltop. She used to be lively and cheerful, but now she has become an i-demon.

"If you find this position, we won't know when you will die in there." Zhang Qingdi spoke in his usual elegant and easy-going manner.

The red-scaled python is now 20 to 30 feet long. "Master, why are you here?"

When she spoke, it was in a timid female voice.

Come to think of it, it wasn't easy for her. She went through a lot of hardships to become a human, but suddenly became a demon again.

No one would be able to accept this...

"You are still unable to transform into a human form now?" asked Zhang Qingdi.

"Ah."

"Or we can just keep it like this from now on. This way, at most you'll eat more, but we can still support you." Zhang Qingdi said elegantly and easy-goingly.

"Wuwuwu..." A python that was twenty or thirty feet long sobbed in grievance.

Zhang Qingdi also felt that he might have gone a little too far, so he began to say, "Okay, okay! I have thought of a way to help you restore your human form.

If you cry again, I will ignore you."

Upon hearing this, she stopped crying immediately.

Zhang Qingdi then spoke up again, "I think the key to your recovery should still be in Qi Jue Mountain!"

The red-scaled python also said thoughtfully, "I always dream about that place these days!"

"Then let's go. I'll accompany you to visit Qi Jue Mountain."

"Master, you are the best master in the world." The red-scaled python laughed excitedly.

Zhang Qingdi curled his lips. This is a well-known fact, so there is no need for you to emphasize it again.

Early the next morning, Zhang Qingdi took her away from Jinao Island.

Tang Seng and his disciples arrived at Qi Jue Mountain earlier than Zhang Qingdi and his companions. Although they were well-informed, they were still disgusted by the rotten persimmons in Qi Jue Mountain.

At this time, the master and his disciples were staying at a house. The old man said to the monkeys, "Our area is vast and sparsely populated. There have been few people in the deep mountains since ancient times.

So every year, rotten persimmons would fall on the road, filling up the stone-lined alley; rain, dew, snow, frost, and mildew over the summer turned the road into filth.

People nearby call this place Xishitun.

When the west wind blows, there is a foul smell, even the toilet is not as bad as this. Now it is deep spring, the southeast wind is strong, you are lucky, you can't smell it.

So it’s really not convenient for you to stay at my house.”

The monkey asked with a smile, "Is it because you don't want us to stay here that you tricked us?"

It was late at night and the old man's eyesight was not good.

Only after the monkey opened its mouth did he see the monkey's appearance clearly.

He was so frightened that he almost cried out, "Where! Where did this goblin come from!"

Tang Seng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't be afraid, old donor. Although my disciple looks ugly, he is definitely not a bad person."

Against the backdrop of the monkey, Elder Tang looked even more dignified.

"Master, where did this come from?" asked the old man.

"We come from the Tang Dynasty in the East and are heading to the West to seek the true scriptures." Tang Seng said with his hands clasped together.

"Holy monk! Holy monk!" This old man really didn't know where the Tang Dynasty in the East was, nor did he know what the Western Paradise was.

But just looking at this monk you can tell he has great magical powers.

"Come to my house, and let me treat you to a vegetarian meal." The old monk said hurriedly.

Finally, Tang Seng and his disciples went to the old man's home.

The old man's family was relatively wealthy, and soon the table was filled with a variety of dishes.

Zhu Bajie's mouth was watering when he saw the dish. There was a lot of gluten, tofu, taro sprouts, radish, spicy mustard, turnip, fragrant rice, and vinegar sunflower soup on the table.

Tang Seng and his disciples had a hearty meal.

The old man stayed with us for a while and then left. Zhu Bajie whispered, "I think this old man has something to ask of us.

At first they refused to even let us stay overnight, but now they are treating us to such a delicious meal."

The monkey was full, squatting on the chair and laughing, "It's nothing more than exorcising demons and monsters. It's not like they're attracted to a fool like you and want to keep you as their son-in-law, right?"

"Monkey! You damned monkey!"

"It's just these two sentences after all the scolding. It's true that a pig can't spit out ivory."

"It's a dog's mouth, big brother." Sha Seng also put down the bowl.

"So according to you, a pig can spit out ivory from its mouth?" the monkey asked with a smile.

"That's not possible." Sha Seng really wanted to say, the eldest brother is right!
Zhu Bajie ignored them angrily and ate two more bowls of rice before stopping. When Zhu Bajie was showing off his second bowl of rice, Tang Seng was also full.

"Wukong, if the old donor is really in trouble, let us help him." Elder Tang was also very satisfied with the meal.

"Don't worry, Master." The monkey nodded in agreement.

Seeing that they were all full, the old man served each of them another bowl of good tea.

"Old donor, if you have any difficulties, please feel free to ask." Tang Seng said seriously. "As long as we can help, we will never refuse."

Hearing this, the old man nodded and began to speak.

"What I told you today about the Qi Jue Mountain was not nonsense. It is said that the mountain was not always like this. Five or six hundred years ago, it was cleaner for a while."

The old man sighed and said, "But the mountain is not in front of our house, so who would clean it every year? Anyway, I heard from my great grandfather that the mountain became what it is now during his great grandfather's time."

"Old donor, do you want us to help you clean up that alley?" the monkey asked. "If so, I have a rake to pick up shit."

Zhu Bajie was so angry that he said to Tang Seng, "Master, please take care of our eldest brother."

Elder Tang scolded the monkey, and the old man suddenly doubted whether this group of guys were really capable.
"I'm not asking the four masters to clean up Qi Jue Mountain, but I want you to subdue the demon." The old man said quickly.

"What a fool you are, old man. You should talk about subduing demons when you are about to subdue them. Why are you talking about that Rotten Persimmon Mountain when there is nothing to do?" Zhu Bajie said dissatisfiedly.

"Because the demon came from the Seven Deadly Mountains.

The goblin would go down the mountain on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

Every time it appears, there will be a strong wind. Our whole village will be full of filth." The old man continued.

"Does that goblin eat people every time he comes?"

“No, no!”

"So it eats your livestock?"

"No."

"What is the goblin doing here?" the monkey continued to ask.

"We don't know either, but no matter what it does, it's not good to let it come here twice a month and make the farm dirty." The old man said angrily.

"Okay, I'll help you subdue this monster." The monkey said seriously.

"I thought it was a demon." Zhu Bajie sneered. "It turns out to be a demon covered in shit.

This demon doesn't need a senior brother, I will take care of it."

"I told you that your rake is for scooping shit, and you're still angry.

Look, you immediately perked up when you heard about the filthiness of this demon. ” The monkey continued to laugh.

Zhu Bajie was so angry that he cursed a few more times.

But he really couldn't scold this cursed monkey, and in the end the task of subduing the demon still fell on Zhu Bajie's shoulders.

After the old man left, Tang Seng said, "Wukong, Bajie, that demon has never harmed anyone. Don't kill it. Just make sure it doesn't cause any more trouble here."

If Elder Tang had not said such words before, in the original book, Elder Tang only thought that human life is life!
No matter how many demons the monkey killed, Elder Tang would not say anything. But if the monkey killed a person, Elder Tang would never let it go.

Elder Tang now has compassion for all living beings.

“Master, don’t worry, if the demon is good.

At most we can teach him a lesson." The monkey had no intention of killing it from the beginning.

He also felt that there might be some hidden secrets behind this.

Why else would a goblin always come here to throw shit for no reason? Only a very bored goblin would do that.

Three days later it was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the Monkey King and Zhu Bajie were waiting for the demon to come.

Sure enough, by noon, dark clouds covered the sun.

An indescribable stench enveloped the entire village.

The Monkey King and Zhu Bajie had been waiting for a long time, and sure enough, they saw a huge red-scaled python covered in filth flying towards them.

"Don't be in a hurry to take action. Wait until it gets rid of the filth, then we can capture it!" said the monkey.

"I understand, Big Brother." Zhu Bajie nodded.

He really regretted taking this job...

The red-scaled python reached mid-air and shook its body!
The filth on its body was thrown everywhere, and the monkey urged Zhu Bajie, "Go ahead."

Zhu Bajie had no choice but to rush forward despite the filth.

"You are such a disgusting monster!" Zhu Bajie shouted angrily.

He raised the rake and was about to hit the goblin, but when the rake touched the goblin's body, it actually went through it.

Zhu Bajie used to be the Marshal of the Heavenly Troops, so naturally he is well-informed.

This goblin is full of filth, but it's not a physical entity?

"Big brother."

The monkey naturally noticed something was wrong, and when he approached the goblin, it disappeared without a trace.

On the other side, Zhang Qingdi and the red-scaled python also arrived at Qi Jue Mountain. Zhang Qingdi did not expect that this place had returned to its previous appearance.

I asked the red-scaled python to clean up the place back then. If only the people around here were more diligent and cleaned up after a while, how could this place become like this again?

This time, Zhang Qingdi also discovered that the red-scaled python was very sleepy.

During this journey, she would fall asleep on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

No matter how much I called him, he wouldn't wake up.

Zhang Qingdi naturally understood that there was something wrong, but he couldn't figure out the mystery for a while. And he was not like a certain outdated ancient Buddha who always used the phrase "opportunity has not yet arrived" to fool others.

At this time, the red-scaled python finally woke up.

“Master, I used to dream and couldn’t remember anything clearly, but this time I remember it very clearly.

I dreamed of Sun Wukong and a pig-faced monster.

The two of them want to catch me..." The red-scaled python said to Zhang Qingdi.

"This is getting more and more interesting." Zhang Qingdi muttered to himself. "Let's not go to that shit mountain first, let's go to that farm and take a look."

It was naturally impossible for the red-scaled python to travel all the way with its body of twenty or thirty feet. At this moment, it was just a mini snake, lying obediently in Zhang Qingdi's hands.

The next moment, Zhang Qingdi arrived at the farm.

He frowned as soon as he arrived, "Why is this place so disgusting?"

The red-scaled python also nodded...

At this time, the Monkey King and Zhu Bajie were on the old man's farm.

"Have you two captured the demon?" The old man's attitude was different from before.

The monkey cursed, "You are such an old man, you face forward when you need people, and face backward when you don't need people!"

The old man was not angry after being told this by the monkey.

Instead, he sneered and said, “That’s better than you four liars. I thought you had great magical powers.

Didn't you expect that you couldn't do anything about the goblin in the end?"

The monkey was so angry that he really wanted to hit the old man with a stick.

But Tang Seng quickly said, "That demon must have some magical powers, which is why he escaped.

Old donor, you should let my disciple explain something."

"What's there to explain? If you didn't catch him, you didn't catch him!" the old man said angrily.

At this time, Zhang Qingdi appeared and said, "Everyone in this village is cleaning up, why are you quarreling here?

Do you like this taste so much?"

"Master Qing?" The monkey asked in surprise when he saw Zhang Qingdi. "Why are you here?"

When Xiaosheng went to face Maitreya Buddha, Old Monk Zhang Qingdi did not show up, so why did he leave the island now?

Could it be that there are some powerful goblins here?

"Help this little demon find an opportunity." Zhang Qingdi asked them after he finished speaking. "What happened to you?" (End of this chapter)
