Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

They often fly around this forest, and I don't know exactly where they rest, so I'll have to trouble Young Hero Lin to find them and rid the people of this menace." — Earth God Cheng

He said earnestly.

When Lin Yaoxie heard what the Earth God said, he felt that the problem was a bit tricky. They had no idea where the monster lived, but as long as he didn't leave this forest, he would definitely be able to find them.

"Old Earth God, thank you. Hurry back and have your drink!" Sun Wukong said to the Earth God.

After listening to Sun Wukong's words, the Earth God bid farewell to Lin Yaoxie and the others, took his wooden staff, and burrowed underground.

"Wukong, although we don't know where this monster is, let's stay here and guard it. I refuse to believe that we can't find the monster's dwelling place even after guarding it for three days and three nights," Lin Yaoxie said to Sun Wukong indignantly.

So Lin Yaoxie and Zhu Bajie decided to stay and guard the place. However, it wouldn't be useful for so many of them to stay there, and they might even attract unwanted attention. So they decided to let Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing leave first.

"Bajie, Sha Wujing, why don't you two go back to the temple we just came from and wait for us? Wukong and I will stay here and wait for those monsters to come out," Lin Yaoxie said to Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.

0oo is asking for flowers.....

When Pigsy and Sandy first heard that they were to leave, they refused to go no matter what. However, they knew that they couldn't be of any help here, so they took their luggage, led the white dragon horse, and returned to the temple they had just come from.

When they arrived at the temple, the abbot rushed to greet them upon seeing their return.

"Why have you returned, elders? Is there something you need?" the abbot asked upon seeing them.

"Elder, we got separated from our master and the others when we passed through the woods ahead. We thought we'd wait here for them to come and find us." Sha Wujing quickly came up with a reason. He certainly couldn't tell the abbot that Tang Sanzang had been captured by a demon, as that would definitely frighten them.

The abbot didn't say anything when he heard them say that. Besides, they were still thinking about Lin Yaoxie's cooking skills. When he came back to find them, they could eat Lin Yaoxie's cooking again, which would be a great benefit for them.

Chapter 112 Finding the Demon's Lair

Thinking of this, the abbot quickly invited Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie inside, while Lin Yaoxie and his companions continued to wander in the woods, trying to find the monster's dwelling.

As night fell, Lin Yaoxie and Sun Wukong still did not return, and spent the night in the woods.

Pigsy and Sandy were already resting in the temple. Around midnight, Sandy got thirsty and thought he should get up and drink some water to moisten his throat, so he quietly left the room.

Sha Wujing came to the courtyard intending to find a well and draw some water from it, but just as he was about to draw water, he heard some voices talking in the distance.

"It's already this late, shouldn't the abbot and his disciples be resting? Why are there still people talking here?" Sha Wujing thought to himself.

Sha Wujing was puzzled, so he followed the sound and went closer. This time he could hear their conversation more clearly. It turned out that the two people were talking about what had happened during the day.

Have you heard? The king has captured a monk from the Tang Dynasty in the East who was on his way to the Western Paradise to retrieve Buddhist scriptures. The monk is fair-skinned and delicate, and the king even claims that eating his flesh will grant immortality.

"Well," one of them said to the other.

“That’s right. I heard that his two disciples are keeping watch in the woods, hoping to find our lodgings. The other two disciples have returned to the temple. They must think we live in the woods. It seems his disciples aren’t all that great!” another person added.

"Shh, keep your voice down. If Tang Sanzang's other two disciples hear us, we won't be able to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh!" the little demon said.

"Tch, what are you afraid of? It's so late at night, they're all asleep. Now it's just the two of us guarding the place. There's no one else here but the two of us, so stop scaring yourself," said another little demon.

Actually, these two little demons have names: one is called Hum Ha and the other is called Hip Ha.

Seeing that Xiha said that, Hengha didn't pay much attention and continued doing his thing. But they didn't realize that every word they had just said had reached Sha Wujing's ears.

When Sha Wujing heard what they said, he was quite surprised. The abbot and monks here all seemed so warm and welcoming, they didn't look like monsters at all. But he forgot the saying: Don't judge a book by its cover...

After hearing these words, Sha Wujing did not immediately go to find Hum Ha and Xi Ha. If he ran out now, it would prove that he had heard everything they said. In that case, he would not be able to rescue Tang Sanzang, but would also disturb the monsters, and might even lose himself. So he quietly returned to his room.

When Sha Wujing returned to his room, he saw that Zhu Bajie was still fast asleep. He didn't wake him and went back to bed alone. After lying down, he thought that he would go to the forest to find Lin Yaoxie and Sun Wukong first thing in the morning and tell them the general situation.

So the next day, before dawn, Sha Wujing heard the rooster crowing and quickly got up to go into the woods and found the demon and Sun Wukong.

"Eldest brother, second brother, don't wait here anymore! The monster's lair isn't in this forest at all. We were all fooled by their smiles. The monster is in the temple where we're staying!" Sha Wujing said breathlessly to Lin Yaoxie and Sun Wukong.

Chapter 113 A Scene at Bailing Temple

Sha Wujing had run all the way here so he could tell Lin Yaoxie and the others about this as soon as possible, and he was now panting heavily as he spoke.

“Brother Sha, don’t be anxious. Tell me slowly. What exactly happened? What do you mean by ‘a monster in a temple’?” Sun Wukong asked Sha Wujing.

After resting for a while, Sha Wujing told Lin Yaoxie and Sun Wukong everything he had heard the night before. Lin Yaoxie then fell into deep thought.

He felt that the abbot of the temple was overly enthusiastic, and that the people within a few miles had been persecuted by the lark, but the temple area was a pure land. Whether looking at the temple from the outside or the inside, the temple looked brand new and had never been persecuted at all.

Thinking of this, Lin Yaoxie quickly followed Sha Wujing back to the temple. After returning to the temple, Lin Yaoxie immediately summoned the abbot of Bailing Temple.

"Oh, Elder Sha, you've found your senior brothers! Quickly ask them to cook us another vegetarian meal. We've been craving your cooking ever since we had it last time!" The abbot greeted them warmly as always and invited them in.

"Old monk, stop pretending! Tell me where you took my master, or I'll raze this Hundred Spirits Temple to the ground!" Lin Yaoxie roared at the abbot.

At this moment, Pigsy, who had just woken up, came out and was very dissatisfied to see Lin Yaoxie yelling at the abbot.

"Brother, this abbot has taken us in many times. You're not grateful to him, but why are you yelling at him? I think you're just angry with the abbot because you can't find the monsters' dwellings or Master." Pigsy scolded Lin Yaoxie without understanding the situation.

Lin Yaoxie was already angry, and now that Zhu Bajie had started criticizing him without even knowing what had happened, he became even angrier and almost got into a fight with Zhu Bajie.

"Oh dear, Third Brother, when are you going to get rid of this unreasonable habit of yours? Our Master has been captured by the abbot of this temple, and we've all been deceived by him," Sha Wujing quickly said to Zhu Bajie.

After hearing what Sha Wujing said, Zhu Bajie understood the general outline of the matter, but he absolutely could not apologize to Lin Yaoxie, so he remained silent.

Seeing that Pigsy had stopped talking, Lin Yaoxie didn't bother with him anymore. The most important thing now was to find Tang Sanzang.

After Lin Yaoxie finished speaking with Zhu Bajie, he remembered that he needed to settle accounts with the abbot. But when he turned around, the abbot was nowhere to be seen, and only the master and his disciples remained.

Lin Yaoxie figured that the abbot must have taken the opportunity to slip away while they were arguing. Lin Yaoxie was furious and hurriedly called Sun Wukong and the others to chase after them outside. When they walked out of the temple, they looked back and saw that the temple was gone.

They watched helplessly as the temple slowly disappeared into the ground, and the monks inside vanished without a trace.

"That cunning monster deliberately used the temple to deceive us, and now that I've found him, I'm going to beat him to a pulp!" Lin Yaoxie said angrily to the group.

After the temple disappeared, they quickly checked their luggage. Apart from Tang Sanzang's cassock being missing, everything else was still there, even the white dragon horse.

Chapter 114 Discovering the Demon King

"That demon must want to capture Master and wear his robes to go to the Western Paradise to retrieve the scriptures," Lin Yaoxie analyzed to the group.

“That must be it. But since the temple is gone, I think the monster must be underground. I’ll dig three feet into the ground to find him,” Lin Yaoxie added.

Now that they have nowhere to rest, they have no choice but to make do in the woods.

"Bajie, I'm giving you a chance to make amends. As long as you cooperate with me, we'll forget about the misunderstandings you had about me before," Lin Yaoxie said to Zhu Bajie.

Pigsy was overjoyed to hear this and immediately agreed to Lin Yaoxie's agreement. Lin Yaoxie left Sandy to watch over their luggage and led Monkey and Pigsy toward the open space in the center of the temple.

"Bajie, Wukong, let's smash this ground with our weapons. This monster must be down there." After saying this, Lin Yaoxie took the lead and swung his Thunder Axe to smash the ground. Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong followed closely behind.

Sure enough, the monster's cave was indeed located beneath this land. At this moment, Lin Yaoxie and his companions were pounding the ground above. The cave was shaking violently, and even Tang Sanzang, who had been captured by the monster, couldn't bear the shaking and vomited.

Seeing that Lin Yaoxie and his companions showed no sign of stopping, the demon led several of his men to the ground.

"You really won't give up. I'll give you some silver; divide it among yourselves and go home. Don't ruin my plans here, and forget about your master."

"That monster said to Lin Yaoxie and the others."

"Monster, do you think we're that shallow? Even if we don't go to the Western Paradise to retrieve the scriptures, we'll still rescue our master. Just wait and see what my Thunder Axe will bring!" Lin Yaoxie said to the monster.

After Lin Yaoxie finished speaking, he flew in front of the monster and started fighting with it. Sun Wukong and the others fought with the monster's subordinates. After three hundred rounds of fighting, they were evenly matched.

Seeing that they were quite capable, the monster knew he would suffer if things continued this way, so he took the opportunity to slip away.

After the demon arrived underground, he went to the room where Tang Sanzang was imprisoned. When Tang Sanzang saw him, a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face; he thought someone had come to rescue him, because at that moment the demon…

The man with the face was the same abbot who had received them that day.

"Master, is it you who has come to save your disciple? You must leave quickly, there is danger here, that monster is very cunning, you must leave quickly!" Tang Sanzang was overjoyed but also worried about the abbot's safety.

“What a kind-hearted monk! But you’ve misplaced your kindness, hahaha!” The abbot laughed as he transformed back into his monster form, which startled Tang Sanzang.

"You, you, you, you are not the abbot, you are a demon. From the very beginning, you planned to have me capture you," Tang Sanzang said, pointing at the demon.

"Looks like you're not so stupid after all. But your eldest disciple, Lin Yao (Ma Nuo Hao), is indeed powerful. He killed my men. Today, I'll take your life to pay for my men's deaths." As the demon spoke, he was about to use his claws to tear Tang Sanzang's neck.

"I've heard that eating Tang Sanzang's flesh can grant immortality. Today, I'm going to taste just how delicious Tang Sanzang's flesh is." As the demon spoke, he lunged at Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes, but the pain he imagined did not come. It turned out that Lin Yaoxie and his companions had arrived.

Chapter 115 The Useless Demon Bird

When Tang Sanzang saw Lin Yaoxie and his companions arrive, his expression immediately relaxed.

"Lin Yaoxie, Wukong, you've finally arrived! Quickly rescue your master! That person isn't the real abbot; he's a demon in disguise!" Tang Sanzang shouted at Lin Yaoxie and the others.

"Master, we know now, we'll get you out of here right away," Lin Yaoxie said to Tang Sanzang while fighting the demon.

It turned out that when the monster returned after the battle with Lin Yaoxie and his group, he forgot to close the passage between the ground and the underground. Lin Yaoxie and his group saw this and went down the tunnel. Sure enough, they found a house deep inside the tunnel.

This house was the place where the demons lived. They originally wanted to wait and discuss their strategy before coming in, but they heard Tang Sanzang's shouts and thus rushed into the demons' dwelling.

The monster was also surprised when he first saw Lin Yaoxie and his companions. His dwelling had never been found before, and even the gods couldn't do anything about it. But today, Lin Yaoxie and his group had managed to find a way in.

However, that monster was also very adaptable. He would deal with whatever came his way. Since Lin Yaoxie and his group had come in, he would let them taste his power.

"Wukong, Bajie, you two take Master out first. I'll deal with this monster." After Lin Yaoxie finished speaking to Sun Wukong and the others, he started fighting the demon king again.

The Demon King was now in dire straits and couldn't care less whether Tang Sanzang was taken away. In addition, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were already quite capable, so they easily dealt with the lesser demons and brought Tang Sanzang to the ground.

On the other side underground, Lin Yaoxie and the monster were fighting fiercely when suddenly Lin Yaoxie chopped the monster's neck with a thunder axe. Blood splattered everywhere, and the monster immediately revealed its true form, becoming a dead bird.

Lin Yaoxie killed the monster and then quickly came out. He set a big fire at the door, burning the monster and everything inside the house to ashes.

When he came out, he saw Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang waiting for him outside, so he ran to meet up with them.

However, a miracle occurred. The temple, which had seemingly vanished, reappeared. Lin Yaoxie told Tang Sanzang and the others to rest where they were and not to move, while he went to investigate the temple himself.

under.

When he entered the temple, he heard cries for help coming from a meditation room. He followed the sound, opened the wardrobe in the room, and saw a monk sitting inside. He untied the monk.

"Benefactor, save me! Someone is trying to seize my temple!" the monk said hurriedly to Lin Yaoxie as soon as he was freed.

It turns out that this monk was the real abbot of the temple. The monster had captured the abbot and tied him to a wardrobe, and was using the abbot's name to commit evil deeds everywhere.

After learning the truth of the matter, Lin Yaoxie led Tang Sanzang and his companions in and introduced them to the monks.

"Amitabha. Master, you have suffered." Tang Sanzang said to the abbot.

The abbot was very grateful for their life-saving grace. Lin Yaoxie and his companions not only saved his life but also restored his temple. So he invited them to stay for a while longer.

Tang Sanzang agreed to the abbot's request and stayed there. When they had dinner, the abbot's disciples also returned. It turned out that after being driven out by the demon, these disciples were taken in by a nearby temple. They had been praying for the abbot in another temple for the past few days, and when they heard that the abbot had returned, they rushed back.

Chapter 116 Return to Peace

For the next few days, Lin Yaoxie and the others spent their time in the temple, and Lin Yaoxie cooked all the meals every day, which were consistently well received by everyone.

After staying there for a week, Tang Sanzang and his companions felt it was time to continue their journey, so they bid farewell to the abbot of the temple.

"Master, we're leaving today. We've already wasted several days; it's time to go," Tang Sanzang said to the abbot of the temple.
