Practicing Medicine in the Zhu Zi Kingdom (XVIII)

Meanwhile, Sai Taisui had lice on his body and made a fool of himself in front of Consort Jinsheng.

Consort Jinsheng smiled and said, "Your Great King, what are you saying? As husband and wife, what is there to complain about? As the saying goes, 'Even the emperor has three lice.' Quickly take off your clothes, let me pick them off for you."

Upon hearing this, Sai Taisui hurriedly took off his outer fur coat, which was covered with a dense layer of lice.

However, she was still itchy, so she took off a fur shirt and saw fleas jumping around and huddling together.

My body was still itchy, so I took off another layer of fur undershirt and saw bedbugs crawling all over me, in clumps upon clumps.

The Golden Bell, tied to the third layer of inner garment, was also crawling with countless insects, so it was untied.

Taking advantage of the situation, Wukong transformed into a fake one, then put on the real one and left.

Unaware that Wukong had succeeded, the Consort Jinsheng tricked Sai Taisui into keeping the fake one.

Wukong went outside and started yelling and cursing.

The Little Demon hurriedly reported this.

Sai Taisui had fought with Wukong before and knew that he was no match for him, so he went to find Consort Jinsheng to retrieve the bell.

Consort Jinsheng, unaware that it was a hoax, couldn't help but feel worried and shed tears.

Sai Taisui asked, "Why is Your Majesty shedding tears?"

Consort Jinsheng lied and said, "You are going to fight, and you don't know if Life and Death. How can you not be worried?"

Upon hearing this, Sai Taisui was overjoyed and couldn't help but blurt out, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I have powerful backers. Even if that Monkey wins, he can't do anything to me!"

Consort Jinsheng was startled and hurriedly asked who her backer was.

Sai Taisui realized he had misspoke and quickly made a casual remark to cover it up.

He then took the fake bell and went out of the cave to fight.

When Wukong saw Sai Taisui take out a bell, he also took out a bell.

Sai Taisui was startled to see that the two bells were exactly the same and asked, "Bimawen, how come you also have a bell? And it's exactly the same as mine. Where did your bell come from?"

Wukong said, "What? You're allowed to have a bell, but I'm not? Where did you get your bell?"

Sai Taisui Taiqing, "This bell of mine was forged by the Supreme Immortal Lord Taiqing in his Eight Trigrams Furnace, a treasure of unparalleled value. It was left to me by Lord Lao to this day." Wukong, hearing this, felt a surge of resentment; it was that old man again. He then retorted, "My bell was also forged in Taishang Laojun Eight Trigrams Furnace. Two were forged; mine is male, and yours is female!"

Sai Taisui said, "Treasures are divided into male and female? Let's see which one can produce a spark when shaken; that's the real treasure!"

Wukong said, "Go ahead and shake it!"

Sai Taisui raised his hand and shook a bell, but it was made of monkey hair; how could it possibly produce fire?

Wukong picked up the real bell, pulled out the cotton plug, and shook it at Sai Taisui, instantly spewing out flames.

Sai Taisui Sui realized he had been tricked. He knew that the Consort Jinsheng hadn't been watching closely enough and that the Monkey had switched the items. So he quickly fled.

Wukong chased after him on his Somersault Cloud, and pulled out the other two plugs, shaking them to release smoke and Yellow Sand.

Sai Taisui said fearfully, "Sun Wukong, one should be lenient when possible. You stole my treasure, but I won't hold it against you. Please forgive me, and we can discuss everything!"

Wukong laughed, "Demon, you claim my treasure as your own, and you want me to spare you and show you the treasure!"

As he spoke, he struck Sai Taisui.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Sai Taisui quickly took off his shirt.

Wukong laughed, "My grandson, if you can't beat him, even if you take off your clothes, it's useless!"

Sai Taisui ignored him, threw off his clothes, and revealed the Formation Diagram on his back.

Wukong was startled. Although he didn't know what it was, he instinctively dodged, but the pursuer was too close, and he couldn't turn around for a moment. If there were a few helpers in front of him, it would be better, but he was alone, so he was instantly trapped in the formation.

The earth's fierce tempering produces a thick, turbid mixture; the thunder above and the fire below are utterly merciless.

Even those with a strong constitution Five Phases elements of Qian (乾) are prone to bone decay and physical imbalance.

Wukong landed in the formation, only to find that the formation was arranged according to the principles of the Earthly Way, with a solid and dense structure inside and a mysterious and ever-changing appearance on the outside. He could no longer see Sai Taisui's figure.

Wukong, wielding the Purple-Gold Bell, spewed fire, smoke, and sand from both sides, but none of it hit anyone. He then wielded his Golden Cudgel with all his might, striking only a breath of turbid air. This was the mystery of the Earth Blaze Array; unless one possessed great Wisdom to Formation, relying solely on brute force to break through would only shatter the earth and disperse the turbid air. Although Wukong possessed great strength, how could he possibly break through the turbid air of Heaven and Earth and earth?

Sai Taisui; there lies a hidden red banner, its movement accompanied by thunder above and flames below.

Sai Taisui Tai Sui waved his banner, and strange clouds swirled all around. A thunderclap boomed, and a fiery canopy appeared above, attacking from above and below. Thunder and fire erupted simultaneously, all striking Wukong. Wukong took several hits, and although he wasn't immediately killed, he was in great pain, his bones felt weak and his muscles numb. Moreover, the thunder and fire struck from all directions, without any apparent cause or source, making it impossible for him to find the Sai Taisui's whereabouts.

Seeing this, Wukong simply closed his eyes, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Sai Taisui struck him a few more times, but seeing that Wukong did not move, he assumed that Wukong had been defeated. So he tied Wukong up, removed the Formation, and took back the Purple-Gold Bell. Wukong did not dare to move until Sai Taisui returned to his cave to rest. Only then did he break free of the Rope, release his Primordial Spirit, and escape.

He rode the clouds all the way to the South Heaven Gate, where he asked the Heavenly King Guangmu to open it. He then went to the Tushita Palace in the Heavenly Gate of Heaven of Parting Hatred and proclaimed:

"Old sir, old sir, you've neglected to guard your gates, allowing demons to descend to the mortal Lower Realm and harm people. What is your punishment? Come out and face us at once! Come out and face us at once!" Upon hearing this, Taishang Laojun) laughed and came out, saying, "Who is causing trouble outside?"

When Wukong saw Lord Lao come out, he jumped forward and said, "Old sir, are you aware that someone in your palace Lower Realm mortal realm as a demon and has been occupying the Queen of the Kingdom of the Zhu Zi Kingdom for over ten years?"

Lord Lao laughed and said, "You little monkey, how did you know that someone from my palace Lower Realm?"

Wukong said, "That Demon has a treasure—three Golden Bell. He said it himself that you forged them in your furnace. What, are you trying to deny it?" Lord Lao shook his head and smiled, saying, "You've come to the wrong person. No one from my palace has Lower Realm mortal realm. As for the treasure you mentioned, I've forged many, but I've given them all away. I don't know which one it is. You'd better look elsewhere!"

Upon hearing this, Wukong's eyes darted around, and he said, "Old man, is what you say true? If so, then I, your humble servant, will request His Majesty to send troops!"

Lord Lao pointed at Wukong and laughed, "You monkey, go! Go! But I'm afraid you won't be in the right."

Wukong laughed, "What's wrong with going to catch Demon?" After saying this, he bowed, left the Tushita Palace, and went straight to the Lingxiao to report to the Jade Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, there is a Demon named Sai Taisui in the Xiezhi Cave of Qilin Mountain in the Western Ox Continent. He has been holding the King of Zhuzi hostage for more than ten years, causing the King to fall ill with worry. When I was protecting Tang Sanzang, we fought with the Demon, but the Demon's Magic Treasure weapons and supernatural Supernatural Ability were extremely powerful. I hope Your Majesty will send troops to help us!" Upon hearing this, the Celestial Worthy Jade Emperor immediately ordered the dispatch of troops, sending Heavenly King Li and his son, the Four Heavenly Kings, to lead 100,000 troops to the Lower Realm to Subduing Demons.

Before long, they arrived at the Lower Realm.

Heavenly King Li ordered the drums to be beaten and the mountain to be surrounded.

Upon hearing the drumbeats, Sai Taisui ordered his Little Demon to bring out the Ambassador from the Zhu Zi Kingdom, saying, "Sun Wukong, I originally intended to end the war, so why did you disrupt the peace talks, steal my treasures, and raise an army to attack?"

Wukong cursed, "Demon, you steal Another Man's Wife and violate human ethics! How can I forgive you?"

Sai Taisui said, "How could I have tarnished even the slightest bit of the Consort Jinsheng's reputation?"

Wukong said, "That's because you're useless; you're just like a cat biting a pee bubble and getting nowhere!"

Sai Taisui was furious upon hearing this. He ordered his Little Demon to take the messenger back, and then, wielding his Axe and Yue, stepped forward to challenge him.

Nezha, riding on his Wind Fire Wheels and wielding his Demon-Slaying Sword, leaped down.

The two fought for forty or fifty rounds, neither gaining the upper hand.

Nezha transformed into Supernatural Ability with Three Heads and Six Arms, each wielding a treasure.

Seeing that although he was young, Sai Taisui had an astonishing number of treasures, so he dared not fight him head-on and took out the Purple-Gold Bell as well.

Seeing this, Wukong went down to help.

Sai Taisui used the Purple-Gold Bell to breathe fire, smoke, and sand, creating a deafening roar that echoed throughout the mountains.

Wukong Nezha attacked from the left and right, and from both the front and back.

The Four Heavenly Kings led their troops to break down the Cave Gate. Upon hearing the sound of the pipa, the demons either collapsed or became bewildered.

The magic umbrella was seen spinning wildly in the air, sucking many Little Demon into it, unable to escape.

Seeing that the enemy outnumbered them and that Heavenly King Li was a seasoned strategist who remained hidden in the Heaven, Consort Jinsheng Sai Taisui. Four Heavenly Kings Wukong, Nezha Heavenly King Li Cave Abode engage Nezha and Wukong and hurriedly returned to his cave to guard them.

Seeing this, the Four Heavenly Kings had no choice but to retreat.

Wukong shouted and cursed outside several times, but Sai Taisui just kept his head down and didn't come out.

If they were to directly attack the cave, they would likely have nowhere to hide and fall into the Demon's trap, leaving them with no choice but to retreat.

Wukong once again went to heaven to ask for help.

Sai Taisui then sent Youlai Youqu to seek help from Mist-and-Cloud Cave in Qiyun Mountain.
