Chapter 565: Pretending to Faint

After hearing the words, Sun Wukong thought carefully for a long time and said to Guanyin Bodhisattva: "How about it be like this now? I will go to the West to tell Tathagata and ask him to remove this tight band on my head."

After hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva quickly said to Sun Wukong: "Wait for me here for a while and let me see how my luck is."

After hearing this, Sun Wukong smiled and said to Guanyin Bodhisattva: "My luck is just like this, there is no need to look any further."

After Guanyin Bodhisattva heard what Sun Wukong said, he slapped Sun Wukong on the back of the head and said to Sun Wukong: "I'm not looking at your luck, I'm looking at Tang Xuanzang's luck."

Sun Wukong nodded when he heard the words. Then Guanyin Bodhisattva sat on the lotus platform, looking in all directions and listening in all directions. After a while, he suddenly said:

"Sun Wukong, your master only has one life left now. He will be injured soon and will come looking for you soon. Just wait here for me for a while. I will go talk to Tang Xuanzang and let him continue. Let’s go to the West to learn scriptures with you.”

After hearing this, Sun Wukong had no choice but to wait for Guanyin Bodhisattva here.

At the same time, after Tang Xuanzang drove away Sun Wukong, he asked Zhu Bajie to lead the white dragon Masha Wujing to carry a load to a cave. After a while, Tang Xuanzang said to Zhu Bajie:

"Now that such a long time has passed, I am hungry and thirsty. Can any of you help me fast?"

Hearing this, Zhu Bajie quickly asked Tang Xuanzang for credit and said, "Master, please wait here for me for a while. I will go see if there is a village ahead and bring you some food back."

When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he quickly dismounted his horse. Zhu Bajie jumped on the cloud and looked down. There was a mountain range in front of him, and no one lived there at all.

After a short while, Zhu Bajie came down from the clouds and said to Tang Xuanzang:

"Master, there's no one living in front of you. How should we go to Hua Zhai?"

After hearing this, Tang Xuanzang thought seriously for a long time and then said to Zhu Bajie:

"If you don't have anything to eat, you might as well find me some water."

Hearing this, Zhu Bajie quickly said to Tang Xuanzang: "Master, wait for me here for a while, and I will get you some water."

As soon as Zhu Bajie said this, he flew to a spring and got some water.

Sha Wujing waited for a long time but did not see Zhu Bajie come back. At the same time, Tang Xuanzang was already hungry and thirsty, so Sha Wujing said to Tang Xuanzang:

"Master, why don't you wait here for a while, and I'll go hurry up the second senior brother."

Tang Xuanzang could only agree with tears, so Sha Wujing stepped on the auspicious clouds and flew over to the place where Zhu Bajie looked like.

After a while, Tang Xuanzang was finally very thirsty. Just when he was about to hallucinate, he suddenly heard a sound, which prompted Tang Xuanzang to look there. Sun Wukong turned out to be kneeling on the roadside, holding a bowl and said to Tang Xuanzang:

"Without me, I see you can't even drink water. I have a glass of water for you to drink first to quench your thirst. I'll go and make you fast."

When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he angrily said to Sun Wukong:

"I will die of thirst here today and I don't need your water, so just leave."

After hearing this, Sun Wukong said to Tang Xuanzang:

"Without me, you wouldn't be able to go to the West and get the true scriptures."

Tang Xuanzang suddenly felt very angry, so he gritted his teeth and said to Sun Wukong:

"Whether I go or not is none of your business. You monkey, go away quickly. Why are you coming here to talk to me again?"

When Sun Wukong heard this, he immediately turned his face and became very angry. He cursed angrily at Tang Xuanzang:

"You monk, I've helped you so many times before, but you didn't say good things about me. Now, even if you insist on talking about me just these few times, I won't go with you."

After Sun Wukong said this, he raised the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand and struck Tang Xuanzang.

Tang Xuanzang fell to the ground at the sound, and then Sun Wukong took Tang Xuanzang's package away, flying into the clouds and mist, and flew to who knows where.

At the same time, Zhu Bajie has arrived. Next to Tang Xuanzang, he suddenly saw that Tang Xuanzang had fallen to the ground, and there was no sign of him saluting, which made Zhu Bajie yell:

"It's over now. It's probably because after Sun Wukong beat the bandits away, the bandits got angry and kept coming back."

After Zhu Bajie said this, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

At the same time, Sha Wujing also came to Zhu Bajie. After seeing Tang Xuanzang lying on the ground, he burst into tears. Zhu Bajie patted Sha Wujing on the shoulder and said to Sha Wujing:

"Don't cry now. Don't mention the matter of seeking Buddhist scriptures now. Just look at the master's life and wait for me to take this horse to the county town and sell it for a few silver taels to buy a coffin. Let's give the master a Just bury it and we’ll go our separate ways in the end.”

Sha Wujing ignored what Zhu Bajie said, but after slowly putting Tang Xuanzang on the ground, Tang Xuanzang exhaled some hot air from his mouth and nose.

Upon seeing this, Sha Wujing quickly said to Zhu Bajie: "Second Senior Brother, come quickly, the master is not dead yet."

Hearing this, Zhu Bajie ran to Tang Xuanzang's side. Tang Xuanzang said slowly: "Well, you Sun Wukong, I won't help you but you still beat me."

Zhu Bajie looked confused when he heard this. After Tang Xuanzang saw the confused expression on Zhu Bajie's face, he continued to say slowly:

"You drove Sun Wukong away and then came back. I insisted not to take him in, but he beat me with a stick and took away all the baggage."

Zhu Bajie was very angry when he heard this, and he said to Sha Wujing: "Wait for me here for a while, I will go to Sun Wukong to have a good argument, I want to see what he wants to say to me today."

Sha Wujing said to Zhu Bajie:

"Second brother, don't be angry now, let's help the master to that person's house first, let the master eat some food first, and then we will go to find him."

Zhu Bajie could only help Tang Xuanzang to the horse, and took the bowl and cold rice to an old woman's house. After the old woman saw Zhu Bajie's appearance, she hurriedly dodged, and Sha Wujing stood up and said :

"Don't be afraid, lady donor. We are going to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures from the Tang Dynasty in the East. Now our master is feeling a little unwell, so we want to come here to get some food."

The old woman took Tang Xuanzang to her home. After a while, the old woman came to visit Tang Xuanzang with a bowl of rice. Tang Xuanzang said slowly:

"I have three disciples, one of whom is called Sun Wukong. He has been cruel and never kind in his life. I scolded him back, but he came back and beat me up and took away all my things. Now I come to your place to rest for a night."
