Seeking Rescue
At the same time, Sun Wukong immediately transformed into an incarnation and rushed towards the Southern Heavenly Gate, where he met the Giant Spirit God.
After Sun Wukong told the Giant Spirit God his story, the Giant Spirit God immediately took Sun Wukong to the Jade Emperor.
"This Sun Wukong never knows how to speak properly. Back then, I almost had all the gods here take turns protecting him when I asked him to protect Tang Xuanzang. Now he's telling me to cover up the sky. How am I supposed to cover up that?"
At the same time, Nezha, Sun Wukong's very close brother, suddenly spoke to the Jade Emperor:
"When Pangu separated heaven and earth, it was divided into heaven and earth. If we go by that, it's really a bit difficult to explain, but there's another way."
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor looked puzzled. Seeing this, Nezha continued slowly, saying to the Jade Emperor:
"It would be better to go to the Northern Heavenly Gate now, where we can borrow Zhenwu's flag for a while. At that time, the sun, moon, and stars will be invisible."
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor quickly said to Nezha, "Your method is good; go now."
No sooner had the Jade Emperor finished speaking than the Giant Spirit God rushed to Sun Wukong and said, "Great Sage, the Third Prince Nezha has come to lend his assistance."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong saw a lucky cloud drifting across the sky, and immediately said to the two little demons:
"You two just watch, I'm going to show you how to make the sky appear."
Upon hearing this, the two little demons immediately became a little impatient and quickly said to Sun Wukong:
"If you're going to pretend, then pretend. Why waste so much breath?"
"I was just practicing a bunch of spells; otherwise, without the prior preparation, how could I start the later part of the 'heavenly display'?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately spoke to the two little demons.
After he finished speaking, the two monsters opened their eyes. Sun Wukong pretended to throw the magic gourd up, and then the gourd was blown by the mountain wind and swayed for a long time before finally falling down.
However, the Third Prince Nezha allies, who were watching from the Southern Heavenly Gate, unfurled their flags, instantly obscuring the sun, moon, and stars, plunging everything into complete darkness.
Seeing this, the two demons knew they were in trouble and quickly said to Sun Wukong:
"Since you've already taken in the sky, why don't you take in the earth too?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong thought to himself:
"These two monsters are quite greedy. I need to think of a way to deal with this."
After thinking for a moment, Sun Wukong immediately said to the two little demons:
"If I were to fill the entire area, this place would collapse, and you would all fall into the pit, only to be unable to reach the surface for a very long time."
"Besides, the sea lies beneath this land. If you fall into the sea, your lives will be in your hands."
These two demons were really easy to fool. After hearing Sun Wukong say that they would fall into the sea and lose their lives, they quickly said to Sun Wukong:
"Please don't do that. Forget it, just release the sky now. We already know you can pretend to be the sky. If you fall into the sea, then everything will be over."
Hearing this, Sun Wukong was very pleased and quickly continued chanting the incantation, causing Third Prince Nezha, to retrieve the flag. In an instant, the sunlight shone on the ground again, and the two little creatures greedily enjoyed the sunlight.
Upon seeing this, the two little demons immediately said to Sun Wukong:
"Your treasure is truly amazing. If I don't trade with you, I'll really be missing out."
After the little demon finished speaking, he handed the two Law Treasure treasures to Sun Wukong. After receiving the two Law Treasure, Sun Wukong took out a copper coin and said to the little demon:
"Now take this money and find a piece of paper. We need to write a guarantee together so I can believe you."
The little demon looked puzzled upon hearing this.
"How can we write anything without a pen and ink? I might as well issue you a death order."
Sun Wukong looked completely bewildered, while the little demon continued speaking:
"I'll trade these two treasures for your heaven-defying treasure. If you go back on your word, may I die a horrible death."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong felt relieved and handed the large gourd to the two little demons.
After the two little demons got their hands on the large gourd, they looked at it for a short while, then suddenly looked up and couldn't see Sun Wukong.
One of the monsters said to the other:
"He lied to me! He said that after switching the treasure, we would both become immortals. How could he suddenly disappear?"
Upon hearing this, the other monster patted the first monster's head and said:
"That's what you think, but we've already gained an advantage. Our two gourds can only hold people, but this big gourd can hold the sky. Let me try it out first and see how to put the sky in."
After speaking, the monster threw the gourd into the air, muttering the incantation that Sun Wukong had just recited.
A short while later, the gourd fell to the ground, and the two monsters were immediately astonished when they saw it.
The monster suddenly realized and quickly said, "This gourd must be fake."
However, Sun Wukong was far away, heard everything clearly. Seeing that Sun Wukong had already wasted enough time, he quickly shook himself, and the gourd turned into hairs that floated onto his body. Now, the two demons were empty-handed.
At the same time, the two monsters were terrified and muttered softly:
"What should we do now? When the King entrusted the treasure to us, he gave us a death order: to capture Sun Wukong."
"Now that Sun Wukong hasn't caught it and the treasure is gone, we'll definitely be beaten to death if we go back. What should we do?"
One of the monsters, upon hearing this, quickly said:
"Why don't we go back now? The two kings have treated us fairly well. If we go back and say a few kind words, we might both survive. Otherwise, we'll both die."
After discussing for a short while, the two monsters returned to the mountain.
Meanwhile, after seeing that the two of them had already returned, Sun Wukong transformed into a fly and followed the two little demons.
After the two little monsters returned to the cave, they saw Golden Horn and Silver Horn.
Upon seeing this Golden Horn and Silver Horn asked, "Have you two captured Sun Wukong?"
The two little monsters were immediately terrified and knelt down, begging for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please spare us! We deserve to die! We were carrying treasures when we were halfway there when we suddenly encountered a deity."
"We told them the truth, but he pulled out a gourd and said it could hold the sky, and then he fooled both of our precious treasures."
Upon hearing this, both Golden Horn Silver Horn were immediately shocked and furious. Silver Horn, in a fit of impatience, stood up and said:
"Brother, please wait a moment longer, I'll be right back."
