Chapter 504: Breaking News
Sun Wukong waved his hands disdainfully and said:
"Master, it was indeed my fault this time. I didn't reiterate it to you, so I went to Huaguo Mountain to handle my own affairs."
When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he said to Sun Wukong regardless of previous suspicions:
"The things that happened back then are all over, and now you and I are both safe and sound."
After Tang Xuanzang finished speaking, the king of Baoxiang Kingdom immediately said:
"Elders, I really have a lot to do for you today. Why don't you rest here for a while, eat something and then leave."
Tang Xuanzang and everyone nodded after hearing this, and then the group continued to go to the west to obtain scriptures.
…
Just when Tang Xuanzang and his party were passing by a hillside, they suddenly met a woodcutter.
When the woodcutter saw this, he quickly stopped Tang Xuanzang and said:
"This elder, please don't go further on the road ahead. There are some evil demons in this mountain who specialize in eating monks like you."
Tang Xuanzang heard this and said disdainfully: "What's the harm in such a thing?"
Ever since Tang Xuanzang severely injured the White Bone Demon with one palm, Tang Xuanzang felt more confident in his own strength.
When the woodcutter saw this, he laughed loudly. Tang Xuanzang looked confused.
"Why are you laughing? Is what I said very funny?"
When the woodcutter heard this, there was a hint of disdain in his tone.
"It's not that I look down on you, but with the way you are dressed, you can't even handle those two demons at once."
Sun Wukong couldn't listen anymore, so he jumped out immediately and said to the woodcutter fiercely:
"You are trying to build up other people's ambitions. You no longer have the prestige of ours. Are you related to him, that's why you say this?"
The woodcutter immediately became a little angry when he heard this, and pretended to be serious and said to Sun Wukong:
"You monk is so unreasonable. I came to tell you out of good intentions to let you be more careful when walking, but you just relied on me without asking where the monster came from. ?”
Sun Wukong suddenly felt a little anxious, scratched the monkey hair on his body, and said to the woodcutter:
"What are there to be afraid of these demons? If they come from the sky, then I will go to the Jade Emperor. If they come from the ground, then I will go to the King of Hell. Wherever he comes from, then I will look for him. What's the point of this? What’s there to be afraid of?”
After Sun Wukong said this, he gritted his teeth and looked at the woodcutter.
The woodcutter smiled when he heard this and said to Sun Wukong: "I don't know where you come from. Where are you going?"
Before Sun Wukong could speak, Tang Xuanzang couldn't wait to introduce himself to his family.
"We came from the Tang Dynasty in the East to go to the West to learn scriptures. I didn't know there were many demons here. Thank you for reminding us."
"Forget it, since you are Tang Monk, don't go here. If you come from somewhere else, it's fine. If there is an extra character Tang, then don't go here."
The woodcutter quickly reminded Tang Xuanzang.
When Sun Wukong heard this, he smiled and said to the woodcutter:
"Don't panic. We have survived so many monsters we encountered this year. Just these two monsters. Am I still afraid of them?"
Sun Wukong was completely fearless. He only wanted to protect Tang Xuanzang and go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. He quickly passed the woodcutter and said to Tang Xuanzang:
"Master, don't panic, there is just a goblin here, but that person is too timid, don't take him to heart."
After Sun Wukong finished speaking, Tang Xuanzang turned his head and lost sight of the woodcutter. When Sun Wukong saw this, he knew what was going on. So Sun Wukong flew into the sky on the clouds and mist. After a closer look, he saw that it was indeed the man who had meritorious service that day.
Sun Wukong suddenly lost his temper and scolded the man who was on duty that day:
"Why don't you tell me personally that you must change? Are you acting like me?"
The daily meritorious officer heard this and quickly said to Sun Wukong respectfully:
"Don't blame me for being late, Great Sage. It's just that the monster has great magical powers and many changes. You have to watch your master carefully and don't slack off at all. The journey to the West to learn the scriptures is very difficult."
When Sun Wukong heard this, he took these words to heart and found Tang Xuanzang. Suddenly, Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and thought of a plan, so he came to Tang Xuanzang with red eyes and cried. When Zhu Bajie saw this, he said:
"Master, let's ask Junior Brother Sha to put down his burden and take out his luggage. Let's divide it."
Tang Xuanzang felt a little angry when he heard this, and quickly said to Zhu Bajie: "Why would you, an idiot, say such words?"
Zhu Bajie heard this and said to Tang Xuanzang:
"Look at Brother Monkey, have you already burst into tears? He is the Monkey King who is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace. He is omnipotent in heaven and on earth. He can't even put himself in the frying pan but he is crying now. It must be because this mountain is so high. The road is dangerous and the demons and monsters are too powerful.”
"How can people as weak as us survive this journey?"
Tang Xuanzang was a little panicked when he heard this. At the same time, Sun Wukong said quickly:
"The one the master was worried about just now was the daily meritorious service. He said that the fairies here are very fierce and very difficult. As expected, we can't continue moving forward today. Let's go another day!"
When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he was speechless. Then he sighed and said slowly:
"Now that we've come this far, we can't give up halfway. But if you say the demon in front is so dangerous, then at least you should take care of your own life."
Then Tang Xuanzang suddenly felt that what he said was very bad, so he continued to dissuade Sun Wukong:
"Just think of what I just said as farting. Sun Wukong, you are also talking about how difficult it is to be alone. As the ancients said, I am outnumbered. I also have Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing here. If I can't beat you again, I will know a little bit of magic. Hope it helps.”
When Sun Wukong heard what Tang Xuanzang said, he felt very funny in his heart. So Sun Wukong pretended to wipe away the tears from his eyes and said to Tang Xuanzang:
"I will definitely take what the master said to heart, but if I have to cross this mountain, I have to make Zhu Bajie promise me two things to have a chance of getting through. Otherwise, I have no choice."
Zhu Bajie heard this and immediately said to Sun Wukong:
"Brother Monkey, tell me what exactly you want me to do. I will never let the master worry about it."
When Sun Wukong heard this, he immediately felt very happy, so he suppressed the joy in his heart and said seriously to Zhu Bajie:
"The first thing is to sit here and watch the master. The second thing is to carry your nine-tooth rake and go around the mountain."
After Zhu Bajie heard this and thought for a while, he stood up and said:
"I must have chosen to go on a mountain patrol. I will definitely be too busy doing both things."
After Zhu Bajie said this, he carried the nine-tooth rake and explored the road ahead.
