Having said that, he glanced at the small gourd, then at Tang Sanzang not far away, and said, "The wine vessel that this elder is holding is probably a divine object!"
"We poured in five or four hundred catties of fine wine before we could just fill it up!"
"Sir, don't let its small size fool you, it's packed with five or four hundred catties of wine!"
Upon hearing this, Steward Gao frowned deeply, stared at the servant, and said coldly, "Ridiculous! Five or four hundred catties? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child who's easy to fool?"
"This gourd is no bigger than the palm of your hand; it can only hold a maximum of twenty or thirty catties of wine. How could it possibly hold five or four hundred catties? That's utter nonsense!"
"Get out of the way! I want to try it myself!"
Steward Gao spoke, he stepped forward and reached out with one arm to lift the wine gourd. However, the moment he exerted force, a weight as heavy as a mountain came through him, and his expression changed drastically!
Is this gourd really that ridiculously heavy?
Steward Gao an awkward smile and quickly changed his grip, tightly holding the bottom of the gourd with both hands, trying to lift it up.
But how could a pampered wealthy family bear a weight of five or four hundred pounds?
It should be noted that even the strong men in the Gao family who worked year-round had to work together, step by step, to move the gourd here with great difficulty.
Now, Steward Gao's attempt to lift it up alone is naturally as difficult as climbing to heaven.
At this moment, Steward Gao finally believed that this inconspicuous little gourd was indeed filled with a full five hundred catties of fine wine!
That test just now almost broke his spine and nearly caused him to collapse to the ground.
At this point, he had to admit that there was something strange about this wine gourd; it was probably, as the servant had said, a rare magical artifact!
Upon seeing this, Tang Sanzang smiled slightly, then lightly waved his sleeve, and the incredibly heavy wine gourd slowly rose from the ground and floated back into Tang Sanzang's palm!
Upon seeing this scene, Steward Gao and his servants all gasped in shock, their hearts filled with astonishment.
It turns out that Tang Sanzang truly possesses supernatural powers! If we can get him to help, wouldn't capturing the pig demon Zhu Bajie in the Yun Zhan Cave be a piece of cake?
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Steward Gao's face. Although he felt sorry that the five hundred catties of fine wine had vanished in an instant, and that he had lost thousands of taels of silver, it was all worth it as long as he could get rid of the pig demon.
" Steward Gao, why don't you elaborate on the origins of that pig demon Zhu Bajie in the Yun Zhan Cave?" Tang Sanzang asked calmly.
Upon hearing this, Steward Gao sighed deeply, his tone filled with regret. "To my shame, this is also my fault for being blind."
"She never realized that Zhu Bajie was actually a demon, yet she still betrothed her beloved daughter to him!"
"My daughter is in the prime of her youth, beautiful as a flower, but now she's become that pig demon's wife. It's utterly unfair!"
Steward Gao slowly recounted the whole story, which made Tang Sanzang's heart tremble slightly.
The pig demon transformed and entered the village, but instead of harming anyone or disturbing the people, it worked diligently.
This is hardly the behavior of a monster! It's utterly absurd!
It wasn't until he heard that the pig demon ate twenty or thirty steamed buns and five or four bowls of noodles at each meal that Tang Sanzang realized. "Hmm, with such an appetite, it is indeed a pig demon."
After hearing the whole story, Tang Sanzang and his companions understood the cause and effect.
Ultimately, it was because when Steward Gao saw the man who was actually Zhu Bajie, he was handsome, incredibly strong, and physically robust. He thought that marrying off his daughter didn't require him to climb the social ladder, but only to seek a stable and secure life, so he betrothed his daughter to him.
Before they could even consummate their marriage on their wedding night, Zhu Bajie revealed his true form.
This is why Steward Gao felt even more remorseful, and even broke out in a cold sweat!
Luckily, Zhu Bajie was completely drunk at the banquet!
If they wait until the wedding night, their daughter's reputation will be ruined!
That's a pig-shaped monster!
If her own daughter, Gao Cuilan, were to share a room with this pig demon, wouldn't that be like being defiled by a beast?
Fortunately, it was discovered in time; otherwise, Steward Gao would probably be in unbearable pain and wish he were dead by now.
"I see."
Tang Sanzang nodded slightly, and under the expectant gaze of Steward Gao, calmly said, "Since I have accepted Steward Gao's offerings, this humble monk will naturally help you resolve your troubles."
" Wukong."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately nodded in agreement, then looked at his master and asked, "Master, do you want This Old Sun go to the Yun Zhan Cave to find that pig demon Zhu Bajie and kill him with one blow?"
"No need. Go to Yun Zhan Cave, capture that pig demon, and bring it back here."
Tang Sanzang said slowly. Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately accepted the order and said loudly, "Understood, Master. Please wait a moment, I, This Old Sun, will be back in the blink of an eye!"
Before he finished speaking, Sun Wukong had already leaped into the air and sped off, heading straight for the outskirts of Gao Village!
Steward Gao watched, a sense of unease crept into Gao Yuanwai's heart. He had originally hoped that Tang Sanzang would personally take action, but now his disciple had done it instead.
"Elder, is it not appropriate to send your disciple?"
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang smiled calmly and said slowly, " Steward Gao, there's no need to worry. My disciple is no ordinary person!"
"His name is Sun Wukong. Five hundred years ago, he was one of the Seven Great Sages of the Demon Clan, known as the ' Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Handsome Monkey King '!"
"Five hundred years ago, he wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, shaking the Three Realms with his might. A mere pig demon is nothing more than a piece of cake for my disciple."
Upon hearing this, Steward Gao looked completely bewildered.
To be honest, he understood almost nothing Tang Sanzang said, but from the tone of his voice, Steward Gao finally grasped one thing:
That furry monk with the thunder god's face was named Sun Wukong.
With such great skill, he will surely be able to subdue that pig demon!
That's enough.
Yun Zhan Cave, mist filled the air.
The pig demon did choose a secluded place as its lair, but when Sun Wukong got closer, he realized he had made a huge mistake!
He had initially thought that the monster might still have a conscience, but the scene before Sun Wukong sent a chill down his spine!
All around the cave entrance were countless piles of white bones, layer upon layer, seemingly endless!
These corpses were piled up like mountains; judging from the fragments of clothing, they seemed to belong to passersby.
Or perhaps, the monks or Daoist priests that the Gao family had previously invited to suppress Zhu Bajie) had ultimately perished here, their remains exposed in the wilderness.
At this moment, Sun Wukong truly witnessed what it meant for "piles of bones to form hills and rivers of blood to flow"!
The so-called mist was not the spiritual energy of the mountains, but the putrid fumes rising from the bones after they had been baked by the scorching sun, which could be seen rolling and steaming with the naked eye!
Sun Wukong took a deep breath; at least tens of thousands of corpses were buried here!
This pig demon's methods are so cruel they are horrifying!
He concentrated his energy, channeling his magic power into his entire body, and swung his Ruyi Jingu Bang) fiercely, striking directly at the stone gate of Yun Zhan Cave!
With a deafening roar, the violent force instantly shattered the heavy stone door into pieces!
Deep inside the cave, Zhu Bajie, who was fast asleep on the bed, suddenly awoke with a start, his expression changing drastically as he stared intently at the outside of the cave!
"What a terrifying aura! Could it be a Golden Immortal level expert? When did I ever provoke such a person?"
Zhu Bajie was greatly shocked. He quickly grabbed his Nine-toothed Rake, roared, and rushed out of the cave!
Before the entrance to the Yun Zhan Cave, Sun Wukong stood proudly, holding his Golden Cudgel. The withered bones beneath his feet had been pulverized by the previous attack; after all, how could mortal corpses withstand the aftershocks of divine power?
"Who dares to destroy the gate of my Yun Zhan Cave?!"
