Chapter 201: An Uproar at Golden Rhino Cave (Part Twelve)
Hong'er wanted to transplant the flowers and plants first, then descend to the mortal realm to help.
Wukong said, "Please make an exception, fairy. My master is imprisoned in the demon's cave. He really cannot wait."
Hong'er said, "Great Sage Equal to Heaven, if your master is in trouble, why not ask the Buddha or a Bodhisattva for help? The Queen Mother ordered these flowers moved long ago. I went to see Perfected Lord Taixi three times, and each time you had called him away to subdue demons. That is why it has been delayed until now. No matter what, it cannot be delayed any longer today."
Wukong said, "Then how about leaving the True Lord here to transplant the flowers and lending the precious vase to Old Sun? I will return it when I am finished."
Hong'er glanced at Wukong, hugged the vase tightly, and ignored him.
Wukong said urgently, "True Lord, please put in a good word for Old Sun!"
At this, Ao Tu smiled and was about to speak.
Hong'er rolled her eyes at Ao Tu. "Hmph! What favor does he have to call in? This vase belongs to the Queen Mother of the West. It must never be lent out lightly, much less to a peach-stealing monkey like you!"
Wukong scratched his ears and cheeks in agitation.
Ao Tu smiled. "Do not fret, Great Sage."
Wukong said, "My master is trapped in a demon's cave, his life hanging by a thread. How could Old Sun not fret?"
Ao Tu smiled. "Great Sage, do you not know that everything has its allotted course? Tathagata Buddha sits high upon Spirit Mountain, his Wisdom Eye seeing through the Three Realms. His boundless Buddhist power delivers all living beings. Why
