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

Luojia Mountain in Nanhai

The golden-headed Jie Di knelt before Guan Yin and said, "Bodhisattva, Tang Monk has been captured by the white-haired rat demon."

The golden-headed Jie Di knelt upright.

Since Guanyin did not speak, Golden-headed Jie Di did not dare to stand up.

After a while, Guanyin finally spoke slowly, "I wonder if Tang Seng and his disciples can survive this ordeal I've given them!"

"It's not so easy to overcome the tribulations given to them by the Bodhisattva." Golden-headed Jie Di immediately replied respectfully.

Although he didn't know what kind of tribulations the Bodhisattva had brought to Tang Seng and his disciples, it did not stop Jintou Jie Di from saying so.

"You go now. If anything unexpected happens, don't come back in person." Guanyin reached out and picked up a conch from the sea. "If anything unexpected happens, just talk to this conch. I will know."

"Yes, Bodhisattva!" The golden-headed Jie Di took the conch with both hands.

He kowtowed three more times to the Bodhisattva, then bowed and turned to leave.

After he left, the Luojia Mountain God appeared. Guanyin asked the Luojia Mountain God, "What did Li Jing say?"

"Li Tianwang said that although the demon agreed, it seems that he has other thoughts." The God of Luojia Mountain was somewhat casual when facing Guanyin.

Guanyin had a blank expression on her face and her eyes were slightly closed, obviously predicting the future.

Finally, she sighed, "It's unpredictable!"

"Bodhisattva, if you really want to put Tang Monk and his disciples through hardships, there are many powerful people under the Buddha's seat. Why do you have to look for that white-haired rat demon?" The disdain on the face of the God of Luojia Mountain was too obvious.

"That white-haired rat demon has some cause and effect with the Golden Cicada. This difficulty of mine is not to make it difficult for them to travel west, but to create a rift between them as master and disciple!" Guanyin despised the stupidity of the Luojia Mountain God, but she really had no one else to use.

Your own golden carp, your own golden-haired lion!
Once they are sent down the mountain, there is no way they can come back. It’s all because of that damn Zhang Qingdi!

Amitabha, do not be angry! Do not be angry!
"If you have any questions, ask them now to avoid being self-righteous and causing trouble." Guanyin knew this guy's temperament very well.

"Buddha, why do you do this?"

"I want to test whether Tang Monk and his disciples are really united and heading west!" Guanyin said after looking at the idiot.

"I see!"

"I want them to be suspicious of each other!" Guanyin closed her eyes and said again. "Which one do you think is true?"

"Of course the first one!" Luojia Mountain God answered without hesitation.

Guanyin felt that since she had such a fool around, she was not worried that he would betray her.

"Has there been any news about the chess piece that entered Jin'ao Island?"

It is obvious that the Buddhist sect is preparing to fight with Jin'ao Island after the journey to the West. Now they have begun to make trouble for Jin'ao Island.

"What was sent is all useless." The God of Luojia Mountain was responsible for contacting him through a single line.

"Don't be anxious! Don't rush him! If he gives me some important information now, I won't believe him!" Guanyin said with her eyes open.

The God of Luojia Mountain knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded quickly.

After the old land man left, the monkey said to the little saint, "I don't want you to make a wasted trip."

"Since we are here, let's find Elder Tang together. I can take this opportunity to be lazy." Xiaosheng said with a wry smile. "Second Uncle Yang has been looking for us to spar like crazy recently, and I really can't handle it..."

"Uncle Yang!" Monkey just found it funny when he heard the name.

If you really follow the generational hierarchy, Zhang Qingdi and Jade Ding Zhenren are of the same generation. Xiaosheng and Yang Erlang are of the same generation!
But Yang Erlang has the strength, and because of the Jade Emperor, his relationship with the Chan sect is also very delicate.

So at Yang Erlang's insistence, Xiaosheng called him Uncle Yang Er...

"You two stay here to watch over the luggage. Xiaosheng and I will go catch the monster together." The monkey said to his two fellow disciples.

Zhu Bajie grunted for a while and then said, "Big Brother, I will go with you. If it weren't for us, Master wouldn't have been captured.

Now we have to do our part!"

The monkey knows Zhu Bajie's lazy nature best.

This guy actually offered to help?
The monkey looked at the embroidered shoes that had been put away on the ground. He pulled Zhu Bajie's ear and scolded, "It's already this time, and you're still thinking about nonsense!"

"Brother, I really want to help." Zhu Bajie groaned in pain.

Seeing this, Xiaosheng said, "Monkey, let him come with us. It will be a good thing to have more helpers when the time comes!"

The little saint spoke, and the monkey asked Zhu Bajie to go with them...

Sha Seng and Bai Ma were left behind to look after the luggage, looking somewhat depressed.

"Brother Sha, don't be sad. We all know that you are weak." It was unclear whether the white horse was trying to persuade or mock.

"Believe it or not, I will kill you and then replace another horse for my master!" Sha Seng asked angrily.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ma was so frightened that he dared not make a sound.

The three monkeys did not dare to delay, and after leaving the temple, they rode on the clouds towards the Xiankong Mountain.

After walking for a while, they saw a big mountain blocking the road.

The monkey looked at the mountain and knew that this was the Xiankong Mountain.

He turned to Zhu Bajie and said, "Go and find out where the demon's cave is this afternoon!"

Zhu Bajie did not refuse and left from the clouds.

“I think the hole in the temple was dug at that time. I’m afraid the true form of this demon is that he is good at digging holes.

Her cave is called the Bottomless Cave, I think she might be a rat demon." Xiaosheng's analysis is correct.

Monkey nodded when he heard this, "I think so too."

Zhu Bajie arrived at Xiankong Mountain and after searching for a while he finally saw the two female demons.

These banshees are stupid and only care about appearance.

So Zhu Bajie transformed himself into a handsome monk.

He walked up to the two monsters, bowed deeply and said, "Two beautiful ladies, I bow to you."

The two goblins immediately smiled and said happily, "This monk is good-looking and speaks well."

Seeing that the two of them were happy, Zhu Bajie struck while the iron was hot and said, "How can you let two ladies do such rough work?

I couldn't bear to see this!"

The two female fairies were even more delighted, and they smiled and replied, "Master Jun, you don't know that my old lady also captured a monk in the cave tonight, and the monk seems to be sick.

The old lady thought the water in my cave was not clean, so she sent two of us here to fetch this good water for sexual intercourse, and to prepare a vegetarian feast for the monk!"

When Zhu Bajie heard this, he didn't want to eat his master, but to prepare food for his master?
Will good-looking monks receive such treatment?

"Grandma, let me help you carry the water over." Zhu Bajie said with a smile.

“Why are you helping us, handsome monk?
Maybe you want something to eat…” The two fairies laughed out loud after saying this.

We don’t know what they are going to feed Zhu Bajie.

Zhu Bajie slurped his saliva, but felt that business was more important, so he smiled and said, "It is my blessing to meet two bodhisattva-like ladies.

"As long as I can do something for the two ladies, I will be satisfied." In the end, the two demons did not refuse and let Zhu Bajie carry the water. Along the way, Zhu Bajie silently memorized the route, but the two demons were either touching him here or there!
This made Elder Zhu itchy and he wanted to execute the two female demons on the spot, but he was still worried about Elder Tang's safety and thinking about Second Sister Luan's waiting.

I forced myself to extinguish the fire of desire in my heart...

Seeing that the handsome monk did not react to the teasing, the two female demons lost interest.

Finally, he took the bucket and returned to his cave...

"Jun Monk, don't you really want to eat us?"

"Amitabha, I will not eat your Buddhist name!" After saying this, Elder Pig turned around and ran away.

The two female demons cursed at the silver and wax spear heads and returned to their own caves.

Zhu Bajie felt that he had paid too much for his master!
After finding Monkey and Little Saint, he took them to the place where the banshee disappeared.

The monkey looked around and saw that in front of the steep cliff, there was an exquisitely carved archway with five-colored patterns and three eaves and four clusters. He and the little saint approached and saw six big characters on it: "The bottomless cave in the empty mountain".

"It should be here." The monkey said coldly.

That tone was also full of murderous intent!
Zhu Bajie hesitated whether to tell his senior brother what the two female demons had said.
"Just say whatever you want to say. Why are you hesitating?" the monkey scolded angrily.

"Big Brother, I heard from those two...female demons that the old demon didn't seem to want to harm Master. She brought Master here to take care of him because he was sick..."

The more Zhu Bajie spoke, the lower his voice became, because he himself did not believe it.

Along the way, except for the Queen of the Kingdom of Women, every demon wanted to eat Master! No demon was sincere to Master, they just wanted Master's body.

"Okay, Big Brother, I'll shut up..." Zhu Bajie said helplessly.

"Monkey, I think what Elder Pig said may sound incredible, but you should not be impulsive and come right up and shout for war and killing.

If the demon is killed by mistake, the consequences will fall on your master." The little saint said to Zhu Bajie.

The only one in this world who can truly persuade the monkey is Xiaosheng.

"Okay! I'll listen to you!" said the monkey unhappily.

They saw a large rock at the foot of the mountain below the archway. Under the rock was a hole as big as the mouth of a jar, which was smooth and slippery.

The monkey was at the edge of the cave, looking inside carefully.

It just feels bottomless!
"I'll go down and take a look first." Xiaosheng said.

How could the monkey let the little saint take the risk? "You and this idiot stay outside the cave and wait for me to pick you up."

After the monkey finished speaking, he jumped into the cave.

After entering the cave, I saw colorful clouds under my feet and auspicious auras surrounding me. After a while, I saw that it was bright inside, just like outside!
There is sunshine, the sound of wind, and flowers, plants and fruits!

The monkey couldn't help but sigh, "This is really a good place to go. Although it's not as good as the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, it's also a blessed place."

At this time, Elder Tang had already woken up, and he naturally recognized the female demon in front of him.

"Elder Tang, come and drink some water." The fairy helped him up.

Tang Seng did feel thirsty, but he still struggled to take the bowl himself and drank all the water in one breath.

After drinking the water, Tang Seng actually felt a lot more comfortable.

"Why did you capture me again?" Tang Seng wanted to put the bowl on the table, but the female demon snatched it from his hand.

She poured some more water into the bowl, took a sip from the place where Tang Seng had just drunk, and then she answered, "I think your disciple is stupid and doesn't look like he can take care of people.

That's why I brought you here. Can you trust me when I say this?"

Tang Seng looked into her eyes, and finally put his hands together, "Amitabha, I thank you for your kindness.

But if you bring me here like this, my disciples will probably be anxious."

"Hmph, what's the harm in making them anxious!" The female fairy stepped forward and helped Elder Tang lie down.

"Hey, since you don't want to harm me, why do this? What if I hurt you? What should I do then?" Tang Seng got up immediately after lying down.

"Are you worried about me so much?" the fairy asked with a smile on her face.

"I'm not worried about you, I'm worried that my disciples might accidentally hurt good people or demons." Tang Seng hurriedly explained.

"Do you still remember me?" the rat spirit suddenly asked.

"Of course I remember. I am not a fool."

"You don't remember anything." The rat spirit smiled complicatedly.

For some reason, Elder Tang actually saw a hint of sadness in her smile.

"Have a good rest, you'll be fine when you wake up." She pushed Tang Seng down and tucked the quilt for him considerately.

This made Elder Tang very embarrassed, but it was difficult to explain.

"I am fine, can I go now?"

"Of course not, I will eat you then!" The rat demon made a face and said. "Have a good rest, I will send you away when you are well.

So that your apprentice won't beat me to death. You're worried that your apprentice will kill innocent people!"

"Amitabha."

The monkey was like a headless fly in this bottomless pit, without any clues at all.

The little monsters seen in this cave each have their own duties.

It didn't look like they were going to eat Tang Monk's flesh, nor did they hang up lights and decorations or show the joy of getting married.

The monkey thought to himself, could it be that he really just captured his master to take care of him?

This fairy is really an interesting fairy...

After searching along the way, the monkey found a shrine. He was curious and didn't know who this monster was worshipping, so the monkey pushed the door and went in.

I saw that the person being worshipped was actually Li Jing?

It also says that your respected father is Li Tianwang, and the sign slightly lower down says your respected brother is Nezha the Third Prince.

The monkey just thought it was interesting. If the demon didn't return his master, he would go to the Heaven and ask Li Jing and his son for the return of his master!
But I haven’t heard that Li Jing has a daughter?
Could it be that the Fifth Heavenly King secretly found a mistress in the underworld?

Oh, I must tell this to Master Qingdi.

Monkey thought it would be interesting if Master Qing knew about this.

He was about to leave, but then he changed his mind and took the tablet away. In case Li Jing denied it, this thing in his hand would serve as evidence.

After putting away the tablet, the monkey continued to look for Tang Monk, and finally he found him.

Looking at where the master lives, it sure doesn't look like he was captured to eat Tang Monk's flesh, but more like he was wanted to be a son-in-law.

However, Tang Seng's complexion looked rosy, so it seemed that the illness should be recovering soon.

"Master, are you here to be a live-in son-in-law?" The monkey turned into a bug and crawled into Tang Seng's ear and asked.

"Wukong! Don't make fun of me!" Elder Tang said dissatisfiedly. (End of this chapter)
