Practicing Medicine in Zhu Zi Kingdom (Twenty)
Meanwhile, Wukong stormed in again, smashing down the gate that Sai Taisui had recently repaired with his staff.
The Little Demon guarding the gate hurried off to report.
Before long, Sai Taisui tidied himself up and led his followers out.
Upon seeing this, Wukong laughed and said, "My grandson, you didn't come out at all when you were cursing and yelling the other day. How come you've changed your ways now?"
Sai Taisui said, "Sun Wukong, it wasn't that I was afraid of you before, but that you were Morality! If we're going to fight, then let's fight, but why did you send people to destroy my Cave Abode and capture my family?"
Wukong sneered, "What Morality do Old Sun, have with Demon like you who forcibly took another Another Man's Wife? All your Little Demon have already been wiped out by Heavenly King Li! I advise you to kneel down and surrender immediately, and hand over the Consort Jinsheng. At least then you'll have your life. Otherwise, I'll raze your Cave Abode to the ground and turn your entire family into dust!"
Sai Taisui cursed, "Bimawen, you've gone too far! Although I took the Consort Jinsheng, I didn't tarnish her reputation. Now the King has come to demand her back, not saying he won't, but there are some debts that need to be discussed carefully! You stole my treasure and harmed my family without cause. Today I will skin you Monkey, you monkey, to vent my anger!"
Upon hearing this, Wukong said, "Demon, stop your nonsense! You stole someone's wife, and now you dare to talk back? Take this!"
Wukong brandished his staff to strike, Sai Taisui met him with his Axe and Yue.
After the two fought for twenty rounds, Sai Taisui took out the Purple-Gold Bell and set it on fire.
Wukong was on guard and avoided being hit, only dodging.
Seeing this, Nezha rode down on his Wind Fire Wheels to help.
The two attacked from both sides, trying to defeat Sai Taisui.
Seeing that the Demon was entangled, Bingling Gong knew to adapt to the situation. He gave an order and instructed the Mirage Dragon to lead the Strongman to move mountains and unload ridges.
Rumble! The mountain split in two! The twin ridges were cleaved apart!
The birds and beasts in the mountains scattered in fright, Little Demon fled in terror, shouting, "The earth dragon has turned over! The earth dragon has turned over!"
Upon seeing this, Sai Taisui roared, "Who dares to ruin my Cave Heaven? Show yourself!"
Bingling Gong, the True Gods of the Three Mountains, is a famous deity in the Three Realms, in charge of all the mountains and rivers under heaven. He was defeated by Lord Lao's Diamond Bangle before, and now he has descended to the mortal Lower Realm for the second time, naturally wanting to establish his reputation.
Therefore, when Sai Taisui cursed, Bingling Gong revealed his divine form in mid-air. This was partly due to his arrogant nature, and partly because Sai Tai Sai Taisui was being attacked by Wukong Nezha and could not escape, so he had no worries.
A divine being appeared, riding in magnificent attire, dressed as King Chanruofeng, wearing a golden crown, a red brocade robe, and a blue and white jade belt.
Bingling Gong shouted, "I am Bingling Gong, the True Gods of the Three Mountains. I have been ordered by the Jade Emperor to descend to the Lower Realm realm to Subduing Demons demons! Demon, surrender at once!" Sai Taisui cursed, "You wicked villain, how dare you plot against me behind my back and undermine my foundation! Behold the treasure!"
After speaking, Sai Taisui summoned a Golden Lamp, its bright light shining with Buddha-Light, which blocked the attacks of Wukong and Nezha. Then he took out a Demon-Subduing Pestle from his bosom and threw it upwards.
Bingling Gong was shocked. He never expected that the Demon, surrounded by the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and the Third Prince, would still be able to free his hands. He couldn't dodge in time and was struck in the face by the Demon-Subduing Pestle pestle. Blood splattered everywhere, and his golden crown crashed down and fell to the ground.
Sai Taisui saw Bingling Gong fall, he wanted to hit him a few more times to vent his anger, but when he saw that the oil in the Buddhist Lamp in his hand had burned down to almost half, he panicked and hurriedly tore off his clothes, preparing to cast Formation.
When Wukong saw Sai Taisui about to tear off his clothes, he knew something was wrong. As the saying goes, "once bitten, twice shy," Wukong had already suffered a hardship, so how could he suffer another? He turned around Somersault Cloud away.
Nezha was originally a reckless person, but recently he has been frequently called Lower Realm by Wukong to help him. Every time he is captured by Demon, he has become clever. When he saw Wukong turn around and do Somersault Cloud, he also kicked off his Wind Fire Wheels and went along with him.
Poor Bingling Gong, his face was shattered by Sai Taisui's Demon-Subduing Pestle. Dazed, he barely managed to stand up and fell into the Earth Blaze Array. Looking around, he found himself all alone; there was no sign of Wukong Nezha. Even the Little Mirage Dragon had quietly led its group of Strongman away. Bingling Gong was then captured by the Demon and taken into their cave.
Wukong then went to the heavens to ask for help again.
Before long, they arrived at the Lingxiao Hall.
The Celestial Worthy Jade Emperor, leaning to the side with his chin resting on his hand, saw Wukong approaching again and asked with a smile, "Wukong, so fast! Have you returned victorious?" Wukong knew that the Jade Emperor knew everything and was deliberately mocking him, so he simply sat down in the Lingxiao Hall, lowered his head, and sighed, "Don't even mention it! That Demon was originally a pawnshop owner, and he had so many treasures. He had three bells that could release fire, smoke, and sand; he also had some kind of diagram on his back that could conjure fire and thunder; he had a lamp that could emit Golden Light; and he had a demon-subduing pestle. Demon-Subduing Pestle Bingling Gong accompanied Old Sun down to the mortal Lower Realm, and just as we were about to move the mountain, that Demon struck him down with the demon -Demon-Subduing Pestle pestle. Now he's imprisoned in the Demon's Cave Abode, and we don't even know if he's alive or dead! I beg Jade Emperor, Jade Emperor, to send more Divine Weapon to help Old Sun!"
The Celestial Worthy Jade Emperor stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Very well, then, which Divine General you accompany you to the Lower Realm this time?"
Wukong said, "It doesn't matter which Divine General, just send as many as possible, lest that Demon has more tricks up its sleeve and comes to bother us again." Upon hearing this, the Celestial Worthy Jade Emperor immediately ordered the Divine General Lower Realm Lower Realm, and even sent several gods of Department of Wealth to accompany Wukong. On the other side, Lower Realm Sai Taisui, after capturing Bingling Gong, had been quiet for quite some time, thinking that the Monkey had retreated and dared not come again. Unexpectedly, on this day, the gods were enraged, the celestial phenomena were unusual, and countless Immortal and immortals descended to the mortal Lower Realm in great numbers.
Upon seeing Sai Taisui Tai Sui was terrified and exclaimed repeatedly, "Disaster! Disaster!"
Just then, the Consort Jinsheng was doing her hair and makeup when she heard Sai Taisui muttering something. So she came out and asked, "What trouble has happened?"
Sai Taisui said, "Your Majesty, we can no longer be husband and wife! The other day I captured a Immortal, a great god from the Heavenly Realm. Now the Jade Emperor must be furious and has sent countless Immortal Lower Realm. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have captured him!"
Upon hearing this, Consort Jinsheng was overjoyed, but her face showed sorrow as she said, "Since I am not destined to be with Your Great King in this life, we can only be husband and wife in the next."
Upon hearing this, Sai Taisui was reluctant to part with the beauty and said, "Your Majesty, do not be anxious. I Youlai Youqu send Youlai Youqu to the Mist-and-Cloud Cave on Qiyun Mountain to fetch someone. I am only acting under orders, so I will not die. If fate allows, I will reincarnate in the Lower Realm, and we can continue our marriage."
Upon hearing this, Consort Jinsheng was startled. How could she possibly want to continue any past relationship with this Demon? So she secretly memorized the words "Qiyun Mountain Mist-and-Cloud Cave".
Sai Taisui summoned Youlai Youqu and told him to go out through the back door to fetch someone.
Youlai Youqu the order, they hurried off immediately.
Sai Taisui then guarded the cave.
Not long after, a loud crash was heard, the door was broken open, Wukong stood outside, brandishing his staff and shouting curses.
Sai Taisui tidied his armor and went out to meet the enemy.
Seeing the heavens filled with deities, their divine might awe-inspiring, Sai Taisui felt his legs weaken. But remembering the beautiful woman and the support of the Bodhisattva and Buddha, he forced himself to maintain his composure and raised his voice:
"Sun Wukong, you have broken into my gate again, what is your punishment?"
Wukong said, "Demon, you're the kind of person who'd rather risk your life than your wealth! Today is your death day, so why are you still worrying about the gate? Come out and face your death!" Sai Taisui knew that he alone could not defeat so many Immortal, so he stalled, saying, "Don't fight yet. If it's a war, it needs to be justified. What's your reason for bringing people to attack me?"
Wukong shouted, "You Demon! You've acted perversely, forcibly taking Another Man's Wife and capturing Bingling Gong, the Heavenly Realm True Gods of the Three Mountains! You've violated the Heavenly Laws, and you still ask what your crime is?"
Even the gods rebuked them.
Seeing this, Sai Taisui was frightened, so he was also flexible and said, "Bingling Gong is a guest in my cave. If you want him, I will release him. Why come here to attack him!"
Wukong chuckled and said, "Demon, now you know how to Old Sun down? I thought you could hold out to the end. What about the Consort Jinsheng?"
Sai Taisui said, "The Consort Jinsheng has no relation to you, so what grounds do you have to ask for her?"
Wukong said, "I have come at the invitation of the King of Zhu Zi Kingdom to demand it!"
Sai Taisui said, "Nonsense! The King of Zhu Zi Kingdom sent an envoy to negotiate a ransom with me. The envoy is in the cave now and can testify for me! It's clear that you saw how valuable my treasures were and came here to steal them without permission, yet you lied about rescuing the Consort Jinsheng. How ridiculous!"
Upon hearing this, Wukong roared, "Demon, where is your sincerity in negotiating? You are clearly trying to swindle the King's money! Old Sun, cannot stand by and watch this happen, that's why I must annihilate you and rescue the Queen!"
Sai Taisui laughed loudly, "Bimawen, I think you're just meddling in other people's business. The King himself isn't even worried, so why are you fabricating a story about a steward becoming someone else's slave and leading people to attack me?"
Upon hearing this, Wukong was struck on a sore spot, and he was so angry that he was practically fuming, his whole body aching, and he couldn't utter a word in rebuttal.
If he hadn't stirred up trouble on his own, taken down the proclamation, and then, out of competitiveness, impersonated the Divine Physician, none of this would have happened. He truly regretted it. Heavenly King Li, standing nearby, said to Wukong, "Great Sage, the gods have descended to the Lower Realm as a righteous army; we cannot act without a just cause. Since this Demon can't escape anyway, go to the Zhu Zi Kingdom and request an imperial edict. That way, we'll have a legitimate reason to spread the word and prevent gossip."
Wukong had no choice but to agree.
