Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Inside the tree hollow, the monster was severely injured, and his subordinates were healing him.

"Your disciple beat me up like this, and even ruined my marriage! I'll cook you and eat you later!" the demon roared at Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang was terrified upon hearing this, silently praying, "Disciple, come save me! Disciple, come save me!" Perhaps it was a case of the master and disciple being of one mind, for the demon in the forest indeed heard Tang Sanzang's prayer.

"Master, don't be afraid, I'll ask my eldest brother to find help to rescue you!" Lin Yaoxie shouted to Tang Sanzang in the cave.

So Lin Yaoxie left the tree hole and returned to his resting place to look for Sun Wukong.

"Eldest brother, I remember now! You can go to Taibai Xingjun for help. I remember you went to him when you were going through this trial!" So Sun Wukong rode his somersault cloud to the Heavenly Court to find Taibai Xingjun.

After Sun Wukong told Taibai Xingjun about this, Taibai Xingjun immediately followed Sun Wukong to that forest.

Then, Taibai Xingjun took out his whip and lashed it at the tree. Immediately, a hole appeared in the old tree, and the situation inside could be clearly seen through the hole.

A group of little demons were seen carrying Tang Sanzang and throwing him into the pot. Lin Yaoxie quickly cast a spell to put Tang Sanzang back in place. The demons realized something was wrong and looked towards the cave entrance.

When the monster saw Taibai Xingjun at the cave entrance and tried to escape, Taibai Xingjun would not give him a chance to escape.

"You wicked beast, quickly revert to your original form! Do you know you've committed a grave crime? This is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, and you dare to arrest his master!" said Taibai Xingjun.

0oo is asking for flowers.....

As he spoke, the monster reverted to its original form, which turned out to be a black bear. Sun Wukong immediately stepped forward to kill the black bear, but was stopped by Taibai Jinxing.

"Great Sage, please give me the honor of taking this beast back to Heaven for punishment."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong reluctantly withdrew his hand.

After Lin Yaoxie and Sun Wukong rescued Tang Sanzang, they went to meet up with Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie. The old man and his daughter were very grateful to them for saving them and prepared a vegetarian meal for them. After they finished eating, they were about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Pigsy then refused to leave.

"You all go, I'm not going on the journey to the West. I want to stay and marry my sister Gao. Meeting her again means our fate is not over, and I will cherish it," said Pigsy.

Pigsy's words startled his parents, who immediately sought help from Tang Sanzang.

"Bajie, don't be willful. How about we wait until you return from your journey to the West and have achieved wealth and honor before you marry this girl?" Tang Sanzang discussed with Zhu Bajie.

Even though Pigsy was unwilling, he couldn't disobey his master, so he continued to follow his master and left Gao Village.

Chapter Thirteen: First Arrival in the Kingdom of Women

Spring goes and autumn comes, time repeats itself.

After spending time with the others, Lin Yaoxie gradually got used to it. However, what was sad was that he had lost all his previous memories, which meant that he had forgotten the contents of the Journey to the West he had read.

He can no longer help Sun Wukong and his companions identify the demons and their masters, which makes their journey to the West to obtain the scriptures more difficult. They can only rely on their own abilities to subdue the demons.

"430"

On this day, the master and his disciples arrived at a place with mountains and rivers. They needed to cross the river to reach the Kingdom of Women.

Just then, a boat appeared in front of them, and a female official disembarked.

Our king knew long ago that the esteemed monk was coming here, and specially ordered me to come and escort you to the palace. Please follow me, benefactor.”

Lin Yaoxie and his companions helped their master onto the boat. Pigsy and Tang Sanzang were extremely thirsty on the boat, so they scooped up some water from the river and drank a few mouthfuls. They were fine for the time being.

Unexpectedly, half an hour later, Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie started to have stomach aches.

Seeing this, Lin Yaoxie asked to find a village nearby to stay in, and to get some hot water and herbs from the village so that Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie could drink them to cure their illness.

Later, they arrived at a village and told the homeowner what had happened, only to be met with ridicule.

"Look, these men have drunk the water from the Zimu River!" the old woman said as she walked.

Soon after, people from the surrounding area arrived, and a group of people surrounded them. At this moment, Lin Yaoxie discovered that there wasn't a single man in this group; they were all women.

Sun Wukong then went around inquiring and learned that this was a land of women, where there were no men. When a woman reached the age of twenty, she had to drink the water of the Mother-Child River, and after drinking the water, she could give birth to a child.

Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie, upon hearing Sun Wukong's explanation, exclaimed repeatedly, "Grandma Wen, do you have a solution?"

"There is a temple called Juxian Nunnery on Jieyang Mountain. Inside the temple is a spring called Luotai Spring. Drinking the water from that spring will keep you safe and sound," the old woman explained to Lin Yaoxie and the others with a smile.

Lin Yaoxie asked others for directions to the spring, then rode his somersault cloud to Jieyang Mountain to ask the True Immortal Ruyi for the spring water.

Unexpectedly, the Immortal Ruyi flew into a rage upon hearing his name. After some investigation, Lin Yaoxie learned that the temple's owner was Red Boy's uncle, and that they had sent Red Boy to Guanyin as a pageboy, which fueled his resentment…

So Lin Yaoxie started fighting with him. After a few rounds, Ruyi Zhenxian was defeated and stood there panting. Seeing this, Lin Yaoxie ignored him, picked up a bucket and went to the spring to fetch water.

While Lin Yaoxie was fetching water, Ruyi Zhenxian slipped up behind him and attacked him with his weapon. Lin Yaoxie was caught off guard and fell flat on his face, but he did not give up and continued to fetch water with his other hand.

After Lin Yaoxie finished fetching the water, he looked back and saw that Ruyi Zhenxian was nowhere to be seen. He didn't have time to worry about him and immediately carried the water back to his residence.

To his surprise, Pigsy and Lin Yaoxie's bellies were already swollen, as if they were really pregnant. Lin Yaoxie quickly gave Pigsy and Tang Sanzang some spring water to drink.

After drinking the spring water, Pigsy and Tang Sanzang immediately felt better; their stomachs were no longer bloated or painful.

The next day, Lin Yaoxie and his companions arrived at the capital of the Women's Kingdom. The streets were filled with women, and the men, seeing them arrive, piqued their curiosity and came to investigate. Pigsy, upon seeing the beautiful women, became so excited that he lost control and revealed his true form, frightening the women into running away.

Chapter Fourteen: Tang Sanzang's Wedding

They finally made it into the inn, where a female official approached and, after ascertaining their origins, immediately arranged for them to stay. She then went to the palace to report to the Queen.

When the Queen of the Women's Kingdom heard that Tang Sanzang was handsome and talented, she immediately devised a plan: to make Tang Sanzang the king and herself the queen, leaving Tang Sanzang in the palace while sending the others to the Western Paradise to retrieve the scriptures and bring them back.

The Queen invited the Grand Tutor of the State to act as matchmaker and propose marriage to Tang Sanzang at the post station.

“Master, why don’t you just agree? A few of us will go to the Western Paradise to retrieve the scriptures for you, and when we come back, we can all get official positions here. We’ll make a fortune,” Lin Yaoxie said.

“You foolish disciple, we are on our way to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures. How can we do such a ridiculous thing? Besides, I have already become a monk, so I cannot do such a thing,” Tang Sanzang said.

Lin Yaoxie winked at the female official, who assumed that Tang Sanzang's disciple had already made a decision for him. So she happily reported the good news to the palace.

As soon as the female official left, Tang Sanzang began to lecture Lin Yaoxie, saying that he could not have agreed to marry her so easily. He said that if she wanted to marry him, he would marry her, but he would not agree to this marriage.

“Master, what Lin Yaoxie said makes sense. Think about it, if we don’t agree to this, the Queen will definitely not return the travel documents to us. We’ll pretend to agree, and once they return the documents, we’ll take you away,” Sun Wukong explained to Tang Sanzang. Tang Sanzang had no choice but to give up after hearing this.

Before long, the Queen arrived in a dragon carriage to personally welcome the bride. Tang Sanzang hurriedly led his disciples out to greet them. The Queen helped Tang Sanzang and pulled him into the dragon carriage to return to the palace for the wedding ceremony.

Seeing this, Lin Yaoxie knew he had to stop; he couldn't let his master actually marry the queen. So he followed Tang Sanzang and his companions in their empty carriage to the palace.

"Now that Master and Mistress are married, please ask Mistress to help us return the travel documents so that we disciples can continue our journey to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures and complete Master's mission," Lin Yaoxie said to the Queen.

“No need for the high monk to rush. Why don’t you all have a meal before continuing your journey westward?” They agreed, and so the group ate before setting off. The Queen, with a smile on her face, helped Tang Sanzang to the banquet.

The opportunity was too good to pass up, so Pigsy ate to his heart's content. After he was full, he followed the evil teachings of the demon and shouted...

"Now that those who have married are married, and those who have gone on their pilgrimage still have to continue their journey, Your Majesty, please quickly exchange our travel documents!" The Queen immediately went to the palace, examined the travel documents, stamped them with the imperial seal, and handed them to Lin Yaoxie. After receiving them, Lin Yaoxie rose to take his leave and left the palace with Sun Wukong and the others.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to accompany me to see them out of the city and to give them a few more words of advice, as a token of my affection as their master. After all, my journey from the Tang Dynasty to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures cannot continue," Tang Sanzang said to the Queen.

When the Queen heard that her brother had a request, she immediately agreed.

The Queen immediately ordered a dragon carriage to be prepared so that Tang Sanzang could ride it to see him off. The dragon carriage exited the west gate, and Tang Sanzang alighted, turning back to bow with his hands clasped.

"Your Majesty, please return. This humble monk is going to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures," Tang Sanzang said, pushing the Queen away.

"Brother Tang, we've already had our wedding feast and are now husband and wife! How could you change your mind like this!" the Queen exclaimed in surprise to Tang Sanzang. In the blink of an eye, Pigsy pulled the Queen away, and Sandy quickly helped Tang Sanzang onto his horse.

Seeing this, the civil and military officials rushed forward, trying to stop them. Just then, Lin Yaoxie was about to chant a spell to freeze them in place when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and a woman descended from the sky, scooped up Tang Sanzang around the waist, and soared into the clouds, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Lin Yaoxie knew it was a demon and cried out in alarm. He hurriedly jumped onto a cloud and chased after the cloud of dust.

Chapter Fifteen: The Great Battle with the Scorpion Demon

Pigsy and Sandy led the white horse and rode on Monkey King's somersault cloud to give chase. The four brothers chased to the foot of a high mountain, where the cloud of smoke suddenly dissipated. They dismounted from the somersault cloud and searched around. Finally, they found two stone doors in a corner below a cliff, with the words "Poisonous Enemy Mountain Pipa Cave" written on them.

Lin Yaoxie told Sun Wukong that they would go and investigate first, and asked Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing to wait at the entrance. They would come out together to rescue their master after he had learned about the situation. Lin Yaoxie and Sun Wukong transformed into two and flew into the cave.

They saw a room in the cave, and inside the room was a stone stool. On the stone stool sat a female monster, who, though a monster, had an extraordinary appearance.

The demon was holding a steamed bun and trying to persuade Tang Sanzang to eat it, but Tang Sanzang didn't seem to be buying it.

"Look at you, insisting on marrying that queen. Is she prettier than me? She's just the mother of a nation, and you look down on me because you want to marry her? Well then, I'll marry you today!" The demon said as he ran towards Tang Sanzang.

It's unclear where Tang Sanzang got his abilities, but he instantly dodged the demon. The demon then exhaled a cloud of mist, and Tang Sanzang indeed fainted. Seeing this, the demon placed Tang Sanzang...

He got into bed and started planning what to do next.

Lin Yaoxie sensed something was wrong and shouted, striking the monster. However, he missed. The monster used some kind of magic, and after a cloud of smoke, both the monster and Tang Sanzang disappeared.

But Lin Yaoxie felt something was wrong, because his neck felt like it had been bitten by something and was very painful. So he went out of the cave first, leaving Sun Wukong alone in the cave to rescue his master.

Lin Yaoxie returned to the cave entrance and asked Zhu Bajie to help Sun Wukong. Unexpectedly, Zhu Bajie was a useless fellow who was more likely to ruin things than help. He was lustful, and the monster transformed into a beautiful woman, bewitching Zhu Bajie. In the end, he couldn't do anything to the monster.

Lin Yaoxie was in excruciating pain, but he was helpless. At that moment, only he and Sun Wukong could rescue their master, and no one else could be relied upon. So he endured the pain and went to the Pipa Cave again.

This time, he hid behind the screen and saw Sun Wukong fighting with the monster. The monster called her subordinates, and Sun Wukong was clearly having some difficulty fighting. So he transformed into a fly and quietly came to Sun Wukong.

"Elder brother, if we want to save Master, we must use our wits to lure this monster out first." So Sun Wukong listened to Lin Yaoxie's words and lured the monster out of the Pipa Cave.

Now only the monster was left, while they had four disciples on their side. Tang Sanzang was alone in the cave and was not in immediate danger, so the group immediately started fighting the monster.

Because the monster's magic was poisonous, Pigsy and Sandy were quickly poisoned and fainted from the pain.

Lin Yaoxie was also poisoned at the time, but he was still holding on. Only Sun Wukong was able to fight the monsters effectively.

"Brother, I'll hold them off here. Go and call Guanyin Bodhisattva for help." Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately left to find Guanyin Bodhisattva and explained the situation. Then they arrived at the Pipa Cave.

At this moment, Lin Yaoxie was on the verge of death, but fortunately they arrived in time.

Upon seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva, the demon immediately revealed its true form. Lin Yaoxie then struck and killed the demon, which transformed into a dead scorpion. Still not satisfied, they rescued their master and set fire to the Pipa Cave, burning it to the ground.

Chapter Sixteen: Encounter with Robbers

After thanking Guanyin Bodhisattva, Lin Yaoxie and the others continued their westward journey. As they passed through a forest, a group of bandits suddenly appeared. Several of the bandits tied Tang Sanzang to a tree, and in a fit of rage, Lin Yaoxie and Sun Wukong killed them.

That night, they stayed overnight at an old farmer's house.

When the old man's son returned home in the middle of the night, he discovered that the people his father had taken in were the same people who had killed their accomplices during the day. He then decided to kill them and steal their money.

Lin Yaoxie was a light sleeper by nature. When he suddenly heard a noise in the middle of the night, he got up to investigate and found several people whispering in the courtyard.

“I heard that the monks my father took in came from the Tang Dynasty in the East, saying they were going to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures. They must have a lot of money. In order to avenge our brothers, we must do something,” the old farmer’s son said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoxie quickly returned to the house, woke them up, and explained the situation. Thus, the master and his disciples escaped.

Soon, the thieves, drawn by the noise, gave chase. Lin Yaoxie led Tang Sanzang away from the front, while Sun Wukong blocked the thieves from behind. In the end, Sun Wukong killed or wounded the thieves, and even cut off the head of the old farmer's son.

When Tang Sanzang saw this, he was very angry. He felt that even if the thieves were guilty of unforgivable crimes, they did not deserve to die. Since Sun Wukong had killed the old farmer's son, the old farmer's life would definitely be difficult in the future. So he scolded Sun Wukong a few times.

Sun Wukong was very dissatisfied, so Tang Sanzang began chanting spells to torment him. In a fit of anger, Sun Wukong left. Lin Yaoxie tried to stop him, but Sun Wukong's somersault cloud was too fast, and he couldn't catch up with him in the end.

After Wukong left, Lin Yaoxie took on the responsibility of protecting his master. He admonished his disciples that they should know how to repay kindness and be kind.
