Rescuing Someone
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong had no choice but to rescue the child. Afterwards, Tang Xuanzang asked the child:
"Who are you? Why are you here? Tell me in detail, and we'll take you home in a bit."
Upon hearing this, the Yaomo hurriedly said to Tang Xuanzang, "I live in a house in the upper part of the city. My family is extremely wealthy. However, some people coveted my family's wealth and committed murder and arson. They also saw my mother's beauty and abducted her to be their wife."
"My mother couldn't bear to part with me, so she carried me in her arms and brought me here. But those bandits still wanted to kill me. It was thanks to my mother that I escaped death."
"They tied me to a tree with a rope and kept calling for me to starve to death. I've been fishing here for three days and three nights, and no one has come to rescue me until now. It's only because I met you that I've been saved."
After saying this, the monster's eyes turned red, as if it could burst into tears at any moment.
Just as Tang Xuanzang was about to help the child mount the horse, Sun Wukong suddenly reprimanded the demon:
"You monster, stop lying! We know where you live, but please don't lie anymore. Your house has been robbed, and your father has been killed."
"Your mother has also run away. If we rescue you, who will we give you to?"
The demon was greatly surprised upon hearing this, but just then Tang Xuanzang, feeling compassionate, said, "Wukong, why are you asking so many questions? Mount your horse now, and I'll take you there."
Upon hearing this, the monster quickly replied:
"My skin is frostbitten, my hands and feet are numb, and my back and legs are sore. I'm from the countryside, and I'm not used to riding horses at all."
"If that's the case, then Sha Wujing will have to carry you."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang sighed and spoke to the demon.
"When those thieves came to rob my house, they all had their faces painted with graffiti, wore fake beards, and carried knives and sticks. I was so terrified of them that when I saw this master, I was completely scared and dared not let him carry me!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong could only chuckle and say to the monster, "Since that's how it is, then I'll carry you on my back."
After carrying the Yaomo on his back, Sun Wukong couldn't help but complain in his heart:
"I have no idea how hard it is. This road is so difficult to walk on, and I have to carry this monster on my back. This monster said he was a good person, and he really is gone. My parents might as well have killed him sooner or later."
Sun Wukong pondered this, but the demon already knew. He used a Divine Ability, drawing in a breath of air that instantly weighed a thousand pounds on Sun Wukong's back. Sun Wukong, feeling this, smiled and said to the demon:
"Even in your current state, you still want to use your Movement Method to overpower me."
Upon hearing this, the demon was greatly surprised and terrified that Sun Wukong would harm him, so he used a trick to leap into the heavens.
The weight on Sun Wukong's back grew heavier and heavier. Enraged, Sun Wukong grabbed the corpse and slammed it against a nearby rock, shattering it into pieces like chunks of flesh.
The demon, seeing this from the air, was furious. He thought to himself, "This monkey is so lazy! Even if I were a demon, about to harm your master, you've already injured me before I could even make a move."
"Luckily, I had foreseen this and managed to escape, otherwise I would already be dead. I might as well take this opportunity to capture Tang Xuanzang and persuade Sun Wukong to learn his lesson."
After thinking it over, the monster conjured a whirlwind in mid-air, which immediately caused sand and stones to fly, black mist to spread, trees in the middle to fall to the ground, and yellow sand to blind people, and dust to roll around.
Immediately, Tang Xuanzang was unable to walk, Zhu Bajie could not open his eyes to watch, and Sha Wujing lowered his head and covered his face.
Sun Wukong knew that the demon had caused the trouble, and when he rushed back, the demon had already captured Tang Xuanzang.
After a short while, the wind subsided, and the light shone on the earth. When Sun Wukong saw it, the White Dragon Horse neighed in fear.
The luggage had already been left on the roadside. Zhu Bajie lay on the ground, howling in pain, while Sha Wujing squatted in front of the hillside, calling out softly.
Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong immediately asked Sha Wujing, "Where did Master go?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie pondered seriously for a while, and then said to Sun Wukong:
"The wind was very strong, so we all sought shelter from it, and of course, the master also lay prone on his horse."
After Zhu Bajie speaking, he looked in the direction Sun Wukong was pointing and suddenly realized that his master was nowhere to be seen on the White Dragon Horse. Seeing this, Sun Wukong quickly said, "Hurry and go find that monster to rescue Master!"
As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, they all Divine Ability. Sun Wukong was very anxious, so he leaped onto the mountain peak and transformed into a Three Heads and Six Arms figure, wielding three Jingu Bang and striking wildly.
After a short while, Sun Wukong summoned the local earth god and the mountain god, and Sun Wukong was very puzzled when he saw them.
"How can there be so many gods in such a small piece of land?"
Upon hearing this, the local deity quickly explained to Sun Wukong:
"This mountain is called Six Hundred Drill Head Mountain. There's a mountain god and an earth god every eleven li, so there are thirty mountain gods and thirty earth gods. We heard you were coming yesterday, but we weren't fully prepared, so we couldn't receive you."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong's doubts vanished. After a short while, Sun Wukong asked the mountain god:
What kind of monster lives here?
Upon hearing this, the mountain god looked annoyed and said to Sun Wukong:
"There's only one monster here, but that monster has almost plucked all our fur, leaving us without any food or blood. We're barely clothed, have no food, and even have to eat monsters."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong quickly asked, "Where exactly does that demon live?"
Upon hearing this, the mountain god quickly said to Sun Wukong:
"That monster lived in a cave called Fire Cloud Cave. Inside lived a demon king with great Divine Ability. Every day, he would take us mountain gods and local deities to feed him for firewood, and at night we would stand guard for him."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong pondered seriously. After a short while, seeing that Sun Wukong remained silent for some time, the mountain god continued speaking to Sun Wukong:
"That monster was the son of the Bull Devil King. He cultivated in the Flaming Mountain for hundreds of years and finally mastered the Samadhi True Fire. From then on, Divine Ability powerful. So the Bull Devil King sent him to guard this mountain range. That monster's name was Red Boy."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong suddenly understood, and after a short while, he slowly spoke:
"I recognize the Bull Devil King. I'm even related to this monster. Back when I, Sun Wukong, wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago, I traveled to various places and made sworn brothers with all sorts of people."
