Journey to the West: Upon seeing the Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon, why not pay homage?

Chapter 155 Sun Wukong: I, Old Sun, am disheartened and disillusioned!

The next day.

The westward-bound team stayed overnight and continued their journey at dawn. Suddenly, they came upon another towering mountain blocking their path, resembling a dragon coiled and a tiger crouching, its imposing presence astonishing.

Sanzang suddenly reined in his horse and said solemnly, "Disciples, this mountain is treacherous, and there may be evil spirits lurking there. We must be extra careful."

At this moment, Sun Wukong had already received a secret message from Su Su and was well aware of the situation in the mountains. So he said, "Master, don't be afraid. Just keep walking. I, Old Sun, will take care of everything."

Reassured by his words, Sanzang felt much more at ease and continued on his horse, climbing the mountain path.

On the mountaintop.

Before the cliff.

Huang Mei looked down at the westward-bound team slowly climbing the mountain and said softly, "Disciple, proceed according to plan."

"Yes, sir!"

Red Boy clasped his hands in response, and his body immediately transformed into a ball of fire, rushing down the mountain.

On the mountain path, Sanzang caught a glimpse of firelight out of the corner of his eye, his heart skipped a beat, and he reined in his horse again: "Disciple, look quickly, a monster is coming."

The three disciples followed his gaze, but there was no trace of any monster.

Pigsy then said, "Master, please stop being so suspicious. Even if there are demons, they should just be passing by and can't harm you."

Sha Wujing raised his eyes and asked, "Second Brother, is this demon passing by?"

"What do you mean, no? Brother Sha, you're not good at socializing, so you don't know that demons often hold banquets to invite fellow demons from all walks of life to eat and drink together. Aren't those demons who are on their way to the banquet just passing through?" Pigsy said.

Sun Wukong looked at Pigsy with a half-smile.

He didn't know if the other party had guessed anything, but he had a vague feeling that they were definitely cooperating with him.

After Zhu Bajie's explanation, Sanzang felt relieved again and spurred his horse forward. When he reached the mountainside, he suddenly heard a child crying for help: "Help! Help—"

Sanzang said, "Someone is in trouble. Let's go and see."

Sun Wukong's eyes darted around, and he said seriously, "Master, what if it's a demon?"

Sanzang said, "With you all protecting us, what is there to fear from demonic attacks?"

Sun Wukong didn't argue, and silently followed the white horse without saying anything more.

In the blink of an eye, the master and his disciples arrived in front of a large tree, where they saw a child wearing a red bib hanging from the tree. Upon seeing them, the child cried out urgently, "Master, Master, please save me!"

Sanzang was still somewhat cautious, so he asked, "Whose child are you, and why are you hanging here?"

With tears welling in his eyes, Red Boy said according to the words his master had instructed him: "Reporting back to Master, there is a Red Family Village in the west of this place, and most of the villagers are surnamed Red."

My father was originally named Hong Baiwan (Red Million). He was generous and loved to make friends with heroes from all over the world. As a result, his million-dollar fortune was gradually lost, so he changed his name to Hong Shiwan (Red Ten Thousand).

Unexpectedly, it was precisely this reputation that brought disaster to the family.

Last night, a group of masked bandits broke into my home, killed the guards and my father, and then tried to take my mother to the mountains to be his wife.

To save my life, my mother threatened suicide, which finally made the bandit leader relent and order me to be hung here to die.

At this point, he burst into tears again, his emotions running high.

Sanzang felt a pang of sorrow upon hearing this and turned to say, "Poor child, Wukong, go and save him."

Sun Wukong waved his hands repeatedly: "I won't save him, he looks like a demon to me."

Sanzang was furious, but he didn't want to argue with him, so he turned to Zhu Bajie and said, "Bajie, you come here!"

Pigsy asked, "Master, weren't you afraid of demons when you first entered the mountain? Why aren't you afraid now?"

Sanzang said, "It's not that I'm not afraid, but I can't just stand by and watch a child lose his life because I'm afraid."

If he were a demon, I would at most be fooled once.

But if he weren't a demon, saving a life would be more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda.

Pigsy seemed to be thinking about something, then stepped forward and untied Red Boy's ropes.

Red Boy, his face full of gratitude, strode up to Tang Sanzang, knelt down with tears in his eyes, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you so much for saving me, Master."

Sanzang dismounted and personally helped him up: "Child, get back on your horse, we'll take you home."

Red Boy nodded heavily, grabbed Sanzang's wrist, and said with tears in his eyes, "Let's go home!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body transformed into a whirlwind, enveloping Sanzang and carrying him straight into the sky.

Sun Wukong could have stopped him, but he was a beat too slow.

Pigsy's attention was entirely focused on the monkey, and he showed no reaction to the matter of Sanzang going to heaven.

Only Sha Wujing subconsciously chased after them, but as they flew, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

How did I become the vanguard in this team?

"What are you two doing, brothers?"

Sun Wukong snorted coldly: "I told you, it's a monster, it's a monster, but he just won't believe me. It seems that I don't even count as much as a stranger in his heart."

Brothers, let's call it a day, it's not very interesting.

From now on, I'll return to my Flower Fruit Mountain, Pigsy will return to his Gao Village, and Sandy will return to your Flowing Sand River.

Sha Wujing: "————"

It used to be the second brother who always shirked responsibility, so why is the eldest brother like this now?

"Well said! I've been wanting to call it a day for a while now. Let's go, let's go!" Pigsy said cheerfully.

"We can't let this go!"

Suddenly, a soft shout rang out from the void.

The three brothers looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Sudhana, the Dragon Girl, was leading the way, riding on a cloud and carrying two young men at high speed.

"Why can't we disperse?"

Sun Wukong chuckled inwardly, but outwardly appeared indignant: "That monk never listens to me, which makes me feel disheartened and discouraged. How can I possibly have the will to continue my journey westward?"

Sudhana could only coax the monkey: "He is a mortal with no sense of right or wrong. Why are you arguing with him?"

'

The rest of the group:

'

""

The more I thought about it, the more something seemed off about those words.

Sun Wukong, on the contrary, seemed comforted and said, "There are still discerning people out there."

Sudhana laughed and asked, "Can you save Sanzang now?"

"Save him, I won't stoop to his level," Sun Wukong said.

Pigsy suppressed a laugh and asked, "May I ask, Dragon Girl, do you know the origin of that monster?"

Sudhana nodded and said, "I have indeed heard of it—this mountain is called the Six Hundred Li Drill Mountain, and there is a stream in the mountain called the Dry Pine Stream."

There is a cave by the stream called Fire Cloud Cave.

The demon king in the cave is named Red Boy, the son of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King. He has mastered the Samadhi True Fire and possesses great supernatural powers.

""

Pigsy's heart skipped a beat, and he laughed, "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King? Brother Monkey, are you related to him?"

Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, "As the saying goes, if you don't visit someone for three years, even relatives will become distant; I haven't seen the Bull Demon King for five or six hundred years, let alone his son."

97

Sudhana said, "Let's go quickly and stop chatting; otherwise, Red Boy, who is impatient, might really do something to Sanzang."

As they spoke, the group arrived at the Dry Pine Ravine and stopped in front of the Fiery Cloud Cave. Pigsy cheerfully said, "Red Boy, come out quickly, your uncles are here—"
