You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

----------------------

At the same time, on the other side——

Outside an unknown cave, "Manifesting Divine Master Erlang" held a pot of fragrant steamed pork belly. He looked at the Sky-Howling Dog, who tilted his head with a puzzled expression, and chuckled softly, "Sky-Howling Dog, this is a treat for you. You look so starving, you're practically skin and bones. I bet you've been through a lot lately."

On the opposite side, Xiaotian Dog moved its nose, sniffing the "Yang Jian" in front of it who was covered in the smell of monkeys. A fierce light suddenly appeared in its pupils, and its body rushed behind him like lightning. It dug out a monkey tail with its claws and opened its mouth to bite it hard!

“Ah!!”——Monkey’s cry!

……

Soon, as Sun Wukong was once again dragged by Howling Sky Dog into the cave to reunite with his master and fellow disciples, he pounded the haystack beneath him with a look of shame and indignation, angrily saying, "Howling Sky Dog! I, Sun Wukong, am going to fight you today!"

"Wukong, why were you captured again? This is the third time..."

"Brother Monkey, why don't you stop being so stubborn? Since you don't want to use the stick, why don't we just go and find Erlang Zhenjun?"

"No way! I, Old Sun, don't believe that even with all my magical powers, I can't defeat a dog like Yang Erlang!"

Tang Sanzang: "..."

Zhu Bajie: "You have come to this day too?"

……

Chapter 228 Iron Hand

Let’s not talk about the tribulations that the pilgrims encountered for the time being, and let’s talk about Guanjiangkou.

When Xia Zhiming passed through the gap and was led in by the guards after a brief announcement, he saw him and Nezha sitting cross-legged at the table drinking. The two of them stared at a bronze mirror and heard -

Nezha: "Xiaotian! Bite him! That's it! Good bite!"

Bang! — the sound of clinking glasses!

Yang Jian: "Brother Nezha, how many times has this happened?"

Nezha: "That's only the third time. No rush, let's capture Sun Wukong seven times first."

As the two brothers talked, they drank and laughed, looking very happy.

When Xia Zhiming got closer and glanced through the magic mirror, he saw the monkey pounding the ground with a face full of shame and anger and swearing harshly. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's over. This monkey and Roaring Sky Dog have started a fight."

Seeing Xia Zhiming approaching, Nezha excitedly pushed him to his side and pointed in the mirror and said happily: "White Snake, do you think the monkey can win?"

Beside him, Yang Jian reached out and picked up the wine pot, poured a glass of wine and pushed it over, also smiling: "I thought the monkey would come to find me, but I didn't expect him to be so stubborn."

"That's not stubbornness, that's shame. If it were me, I wouldn't have the face to come to you for help."

Xia Zhiming took the wine glass and placed it beside him. He took out a lychee and peeled it while saying, "However, if the monkey wants to catch Roaring Sky Dog without hurting it, it probably won't be able to do it."

To be honest, Xiaotian Dog's strength is not that strong. If it really comes to a life-and-death fight, Monkey King can kill it with brute force without any pressure.

However, Xiaotian Dog itself is a mechanical monster. The monkey's copper head, iron arms and seventy-two transformations are ineffective against it. It has no weakness in speed, and it has the righteous law. After following Yang Jian for so many years, God knows how many magical powers and spells it has mastered. It is indeed difficult for the monkey, a reckless man, to defeat it.

At this point, Xia Zhiming put the peeled lychees into his wine glass, looked at little Nezha with some curiosity, and asked with a smile: "Why didn't you go to court today?"

Nezha put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "Second brother asked for leave for me!"

"That's great. Unfortunately, I don't even know what it's like to go to court."

Nezha rolled his eyes at him and said with a bitter face, "I can't understand why Li Jing would drag me to court every day when I'm a military commander with no troops or power. He's really out of his mind."

Seeing him like this, Xia Zhiming and Yang Jian both burst into laughter.

After laughing, Xia Zhiming picked up his wine glass and took a sip. He turned to look at Yang Jian and asked with a smile, "I just went to Yang Chan's place. She said that Xiaotian Dog sneaked away on its own. What do you think?"

Yang Jian didn't keep Nezha in suspense. He poured a glass of wine for him and said with a smile: "Xiaotian is not stupid. He couldn't get enough food at Chan'er's place, so he naturally came back to me. After I find out more about the man who captured the scriptures, I plan to help the monkey. After all, we are all brothers."

"You are such a bad guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Your heart is really evil."

"Average, average, a little worse than my brother."

Bang—the two of them clinked their glasses, and everything was said without words.

After another glass of wine, the three of them chatted and reminisced about the past. Before they knew it, it was noon and the servants in the mansion brought in food for the three of them to share.

During this time, the three of them looked through the magic mirror on the table and saw all the different ways the monkey and Xiaotian fought. There were countless changes and strange moves, but without exception, they were all suppressed by Xiaotian Dog.

After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, the monkey in the mirror finally acted like a rogue, transformed into a mosquito and fly, and flew into the nose of the napping Roaring Sky Dog, and then became silent again.

Seeing this, Yang Jian and Nezha were both puzzled and asked, "Why is this monkey getting into Roaring Sky Dog's nose?"

"Is there a possibility..."

Xia Zhiming said happily, "The monkey slipped through Roaring Sky Dog's nose and into its stomach. It's quiet now simply because it's trapped inside and can't get out."

No wonder he was happy, the trick of shrinking and drilling into the belly, combined with the monkey's strong body, seemed so shameless just thinking about it. Unfortunately, it also depends on who the opponent is. If there is a world of its own in the belly, then it would be like offering food to him. Coincidentally, Xiaotian Dog really has this ability!

Hearing this, Nezha turned around and asked in confusion, "Is that monkey so stupid? He's rushing to throw himself into Roaring Sky Dog's stomach?"

Yang Jian: "Maybe he forgot that the Heavenly Dog can swallow the sun and the moon?"

Nezha: "It's hard to be a clam!"

Xia Zhiming: "Nezha, don't imitate my speech, your character will be ruined."

……

----------------------

At the same time, on the other side——

In a dark and damp cave, Tang Sanzang listened to his rumbling stomach. Reluctantly, he reached out to wake up Zhu Bajie, who was snoring loudly beside him, and advised: "Bajie, Wukong hasn't been home for a long time this time. Go and help him."

"Master, you don't know," Zhu Bajie said with a simple smile, "Big Brother has many friends in Heaven, including Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun. Now he's tied up and can't take down Roaring Sky Dog, and he's too embarrassed to ask for help from us. If we intervene, given his temper, we might even get scolded. It's better to sleep here."

Tang Sanzang shook his head and sighed, "Bajie, your master was captured by the divine dog last night, and now it's already noon. I'm really hungry and thirsty. Wukong is very concerned about face, so why don't you go and ask Erlang Zhenjun for him? I'll go and persuade Wukong. Let's not waste any more time."

Hearing this, Zhu Bajie touched his belly and felt his own hunger. He quickly stood up and said, "Then Master, please wait a moment. Guanjiangkou is about 20,000 to 30,000 miles away. It won't take me long to walk back and forth."

After saying this, Zhu Bajie did not stop, but transformed into a fat sparrow, flapping his wings and flying out of the cave. He carefully passed over the sleeping Roaring Sky Dog and flew straight to the east.

At this time, in the belly of Xiaotian Dog, Sun Wukong transformed into a ten-thousand-foot Dharma body, holding the golden cudgel in his hand, stirring up excessive yin and yang, disturbing the earth, water, wind and fire, and smashing the rubble of the desolate planet.

After working for a long time, Sun Wukong looked at the boundless void in front of him that seemed to remain unchanged for eternity, and couldn't help but yelling to the sky:

"White Snake!!! You're trying to trick me!!!"

He will never use this trick again!

……

----------------------

Guanjiang Estuary——

Xia Zhiming glanced at the monkey that kept cursing in the interval, stood up awkwardly and bowed, saying, "My Qingxin must be missing me. By the way, Yang Chan said she would come over in a couple of days to apologize to Xiaotian Dog. Remember to comfort it. We are going back now, please don't see me off."

Hearing this, Nezha looked at the slowly closing gap in front of him, rolled his eyes, and then stood up and said, "I think Marshal Tianpeng will be here soon. Second brother, you go ahead and do your work. I'm going back."

After saying that, Nezha stood up and prepared to escape!

Beside them, Yang Jian stretched out a pair of iron hands to hold the two men down, chuckling softly, "Don't even think about leaving, both of you. Come with me to meet that monkey later."

Xia Zhiming: "How about I just forget it?"

Nezha: "Brother, that monkey will definitely be furious!"

Yang Jian: "You still want to run away after watching the show?"

……

Chapter 229 Transfer

Yang Jian saw through Xia Zhiming's plan to run away. Both Xia Zhiming and Nezha shuddered and said, "You're overthinking it. I'm afraid I'll disturb you."

Yang Jian raised his eyebrows and sneered: "That's a good point, then what are you struggling with now?"

Xia Zhiming tried to push the ruthless iron hand on his shoulder, but found it motionless. He could only helplessly say, "Okay, okay, okay, then press it gently. I don't practice martial arts, so it hurts..."

After saying that, Xia Zhiming gave up, gave up struggling and sat back.

Nezha glanced at the two particularly capable fighters beside him and felt that the trouble that would happen later would not fall on him. He did not want to run away for the time being and nodded to Yang Jian, saying, "Okay, it happens that I haven't seen a monkey in many years."

Seeing this, Yang Jian nodded in satisfaction and was about to ask them to sit down and have another drink, but suddenly he noticed Zhu Bajie riding a colorful cloud floating over from the horizon, and in an instant he appeared in front of the three of them.

However, to the three's surprise, Zhu Bajie greeted them and didn't rush to ask for help. Instead, he reached out to the food and wine on the table with a bright look in his eyes and said with a simple smile, "I didn't expect that I, Old Pig, would come at the perfect time. I've been hungry all day. I wonder if you, Master, would let me have some leftovers?"

"Marshal Tianpeng's action is inappropriate." Yang Jian raised his hand and pressed his paw. Without waiting for the old pig to say anything else, he directly called the servants in the mansion, removed the leftovers, and served him a table full of vegetarian dishes.

Seeing how kind he was to him, Zhu Bajie rubbed his palms together, grabbed the chopsticks in one hand and the wine jug in the other, and quickly filled his mouth with wine.

After a while, when Zhu Bajie had finished clearing the table of food and wine, he slumped down in his seat and said to Yang Jian, "To be honest, I'm here to seek help from the True Lord. I wonder where your Roaring Sky Dog is?"

Yang Jian feigned confusion, frowning and asking doubtfully, "Marshal, if that's the case, could it be that Xiaotian has caused some trouble?"

Beside him, little Nezha saw him like this, his pupils widened and his face was full of shock - you good second brother, you are such a good actor!

"Haha, you don't know,"

Immediately, under the strange gazes of the three people, Zhu Bajie vividly described the whole process of how his master and he were captured, how the monkey was captured, how the monkey was captured again, and how the monkey was captured again... and again, until the people seeking the scriptures could not wait any longer and asked him to come and find people.

Of course, the three of them nodded as they listened, pretending to be serious, but they actually didn't listen at all. After all, they basically watched the whole thing and were just watching Lao Zhu's performance.

After Zhu Bajie explained the whole story, Yang Jian immediately slammed the table, as if in a rage, and said, "Good! Good! Good! Roaring Sky Dog is causing trouble for the people. Will you two brothers join me in capturing and suppressing it?"

After saying that, Yang Jian ignored the strange looks of the three people beside him. The golden armor and silver spear appeared on his divine body. His hair was standing on end with anger and sparks in his eyes. He was about to kill towards Xiniu Hezhou!

Seeing how good he was at acting, Xia Zhiming immediately pulled him back, spread his hands and took the folding fan in his hand, saying with a smile: "Master, calm down. Roaring Sky Dog has never done anything against the will of heaven. This matter can still be redeemed. You need to be impulsive."

"Brother, don't stop me!"

"Then I let go?"

Hearing what he had just said, Yang Jian turned his head with a strange expression: "Are you so vindictive?"

"I like to take revenge on the spot, huh..."

Having said this, Xia Zhiming casually opened the gap and stepped in, leaving only one sentence - "Except those who can't be defeated."

Looking at the gap opening up before him, Little Nezha looked up and said, "Second brother, how about you two have a duel later?"

Yang Jian's heart was immediately moved when he heard this. After a moment's thought, he shook his head and said, "Never mind. His magical powers are very strange. I asked that monkey, and he said that fighting with him is very frustrating and not at all pleasant."

Nezha was speechless when he heard this, and thought of the sleight of hand that couldn't be seen even when standing in his face. He immediately nodded in agreement - there is no god in this world who is dirtier than him!

Thinking of this, Nezha said no more and stepped across the gap first. Yang Jian and Zhu Bajie followed closely behind him and soon appeared in front of Xiaotian Dog.

It was afternoon, the warm sun was high in the sky, and on the stone platform outside the cave, Xiaotian Dog, who was sleeping soundly, smelled a familiar scent, but did not care and turned over lazily.

Seeing this, Xia Zhiming glanced at Yang Jian and saw that the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was obviously trying to hold back a smile. He raised the three-pointed, two-edged spear in his hand and slammed it heavily to the ground. The mighty force that immediately soared into the sky shocked the ten directions of heaven and earth!

hum! ! !

Accompanied by a clear sound that could be heard for hundreds of miles, countless birds and beasts in the forest trembled, and even the Sky-Howling Dog jumped up from the ground with its tail between its legs.

Looking at the divine general in golden armor and wielding a silver spear, Roaring Sky Dog wagged its tail and said, "Woof! Woof woof! Woof woof woof!"

Yang Jian was helpless: "Xiaotian, speak human language."

"Master, I don't know where that annoying monkey has gone. I can't find him."

Xia Zhiming clenched his fist and put it to his mouth: "Cough! Cough!"

Roaring Sky Dog turned around in confusion: "Are you sick?"

Xia Zhiming's expression froze. He turned to look at the people around him, rolled up his sleeves, and pulled out a beheading sword. He spoke righteously, "I just calculated that the monkey is far away, but it's right before our eyes. It's in this black dog's belly right now. Why don't we cut it open and take it out? I happen to like dog meat."

Yang Jian nodded immediately upon hearing this: "Since you have a solution, that would be great. Thank you for your help, brother."

"No trouble, no trouble, I'm happy to do it."

A divine light rarely appeared on Xia Zhiming's fingertips. He raised his hand and a purple light suppressed Xiaotian Dog to the ground. He sneered and squatted in front of Xiaotian, who looked terrified, dragging a kitchen knife.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! — the sound of sharpening a knife.

Seeing the silver kitchen knife flashing beside his ear, Roaring Sky Dog immediately felt his soul tremble. He struggled desperately, barking and shouting, "No, no, no! Spare me! Spare me! If it were in my stomach, I could vomit it out myself!"

"Do not talk."

Xia Zhiming snapped his fingers, and another golden immobilization spell struck the dog's head, flipping it upside down. He pointed with a kitchen knife and said, "I really don't understand the anatomy of dogs. Is this the stomach?"

Yang Jian shook his head helplessly and said: "No, that's the heart, go down a bit."
