Winning by Cunning
After thinking for a moment, Sun Wukong continued to ponder:
"If I use these treasures to deal with him, they might still obey those monsters, which would just waste my time."
"Then I might as well use the Golden Rope against him."
Sun Wukong then took out the Golden Rope and bound the Golden Horn. The Golden Horn was also quite capable. When it saw that Sun Wukong had bound it, it quickly used the Rope-Loosening Incantation to free itself and threw itself at Sun Wukong.
However, they managed to entangle Sun Wukong tightly.
Sun Wukong struggled for a long time but could not break free, so Golden Horn used the Seven-Star Sword to slash at Sun Wukong's head.
"Bang!"
After a crisp sound, Sun Wukong's scalp was completely unharmed. Seeing this, Golden Horn gritted his teeth and said to Sun Wukong:
"You're a stubborn monkey. Fine, I won't hit you anymore. Just give me back those two treasures."
Sun Wukong, still grinning, looked at Golden Horn said, "When did I take two of your treasures?"
Seeing that negotiations were failing, Golden Horn used his connections to search Sun Wukong and found a red gourd and a Jade Purity Bottle on his person. He then led the rope back to the cave and happily told Silver Horn:
"Brother, I've captured Sun Wukong."
Seeing this, Silver Horn quickly patted Golden Horn on the shoulder and said:
"Brother, you're the best! Tie him to that Zhuzi and let him swing around."
Upon hearing this, Golden Horn tied Sun Wukong to a Zhuzi, and then Golden Horn and Silver Horn returned to the main hall to drink.
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong's arduous crawling along the Zhuzi startled Zhu Bajie, who was hanging from the Zhu Bajie. Seeing Wukong's state, Zhu Bajie laughed loudly, "Brother Monkey, I never thought you'd have a day like this!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong said to Zhu Bajie in a serious tone:
"You seem to be having a pretty good time here. I could leave right now; I wouldn't need to save you at all."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie quickly lowered his stance and said to Sun Wukong, "Brother Monkey, I misspoke just now, please don't be like that!"
Sun Wukong ignored what Zhu Bajie said, and simply took a monkey hair and turned it into a saw, sawing back and forth on the rope. After a short while, the rope broke, and Sun Wukong jumped down.
Sun Wukong transformed into a little demon, and Zhu Bajie, seeing this, immediately shouted:
"Oh no! The Sun Wukong who's currently tied up is a fake; the real Sun Wukong has already escaped."
Upon hearing this, Golden Horn looked at Silver Horn with a puzzled expression and said, "What's so good about that Zhu Bajie over there? He's already disturbing us."
Upon hearing this, Silver Horn immediately said to Golden Horn:
"That Zhu Bajie such a dullard, who knows what nonsense he's spouting?"
At the same time, upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately ran to Golden Horn Silver Horn and said to them:
"Zhu Bajie is a mischievous and wicked person by nature, so he was just shouting nonsense there."
Upon hearing this, Silver Horn immediately said:
"They said Zhu Bajie was honest, but it turns out he's not honest at all. He should be given a few whacks to teach him a lesson."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong quickly said to Silver Horn, "Your Majesty, how can we trouble you with such a matter? Please stay here and enjoy your drink. I'll go and handle this for you."
Upon hearing this, Golden Horn quickly pulled Silver Horn back to his seat and faced Silver Horn, saying:
"Did you hear me, little brother? You sit here right now, let's continue drinking. You don't need to get involved in this kind of thing. You monster, when you strike later, be ruthless, or you won't learn your lesson."
Golden Horn silently looked at Sun Wukong and then handed Sun Wukong a staff.
After Sun Wukong took the stick, he grinned and went to Zhu Bajie's side. Upon seeing this, Zhu Bajie quickly begged Sun Wukong for mercy:
"You have to hit me gently, or I'll scream again."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately said to Zhu Bajie:
"You stupid pig, I transformed myself like this to save you, and you insist on exposing me."
"Besides, even though I've already changed into this form, none of the monsters in the other caves recognized me. Why is it that only you can recognize me?"
Upon hearing Zhu Bajie immediately burst into laughter:
"You change a lot, but you only changed your head and face. You didn't change. Those two red lumps on your buttocks, I knew it was you the moment I saw them."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong quickly went into the kitchen, wiped his hands on the smoky bottom of the pot, and then wiped his backside.
Upon seeing Zhu Bajie burst into laughter. At the same time, even after Sun Wukong had entered the hall, he still wanted to steal his treasure.
After a short while, Sun Wukong tugged at the leg of one of the demons and said:
"Your Majesty, look, Sun Wukong is already tied to that Zhuzi. Sun Wukong's swinging left and right, which will definitely wear through the rope. You'd better find a sturdier rope."
Upon hearing this, Golden Horn quickly unbuckled his belt and handed it to Sun Wukong. After Sun Wukong took the rope, he...
He quickly replaced the Law Treasure, then plucked a hair from the ground, blew on it with a breath of immortal energy, and it transformed into Golden Rope, which he then handed to the monster.
The golden toe, already quite drunk, didn't examine it closely before accepting the Golden Rope that Sun Wukong had transformed into. It stood outside the door and roared loudly:
"You monster, your Grandpa Sun is here! Release my master at once!"
Golden Horn was enjoying his drink when he suddenly heard Sun Wukong's words and became slightly angry. He immediately donned his golden armor and appeared before Sun Wukong, saying:
"Why are you back again? Didn't I remember binding you and bringing you to my cave abode? How did you escape?"
Sun Wukong sneered upon hearing this and said to the Golden Horn:
"Take a close look at who's holding the handle at the cave entrance."
Just as Golden Horn was about to look towards the cave entrance after hearing this, Silver Horn suddenly ran out and said to Golden Horn:
"Brother, something terrible has happened! Sun Wukong has already untied the rope, and that one has escaped."
Upon hearing this, Golden Horn hurriedly said to Sun Wukong, "I know you can use some tricks, but you still can't cause any big trouble in front of me."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong noticed that Golden Horn was touching the treasure in his pocket, and Sun Wukong immediately became more vigilant.
At the same time, Golden Horn took out a red gourd and said to Sun Wukong:
"Now that I have both of your precious babies in my hands, if I call your name, will you dare to answer?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong disdainfully said to the Golden Horn:
"Your Grandpa Sun is capable of anything, from ascending to heaven to descending to the depths of the earth. What is there to be afraid of? Just call me and I'll answer."
Upon hearing this, Golden Horn raised the red gourd in his hand towards Sun Wukong.
