Seeking Help
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King of the East Sea wore a somewhat complicated expression and quickly said to Sun Wukong:
"If you simply want to put out the fire, don't come to me for advice."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong looked puzzled and said:
"As the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, your main responsibility is to control rain. If I don't come to you for advice, who else should I turn to?"
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King of the East Sea slowly said to Sun Wukong:
"Although I am in charge of rain, I cannot issue orders without authorization. I dare not go without the Jade Emperor's order."
"The Jade Emperor needs several officials to agree on the amount of rain to befall in a particular place, not to mention that the Duke of Thunder and Mother of Lightning will also be needed at the time."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately said to the Dragon King of the East Sea:
"I don't need wind, rain, thunder, or lightning; I just need a little water to put out the fire. Is it so hard to ask you for that?"
The Dragon King of the East Sea touched his dragon horns and smiled obsequiously at Sun Wukong:
"Even without wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, I can't do this by myself; I need my three younger brothers to help me."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately asked the Dragon King of the East Sea, "Where are your brothers? And who are they?"
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King of the East Sea replied without hesitation:
"Ao Qin, Dragon King of the South Sea; Ao Run, Dragon King of the North Sea; Ao Shun, Dragon King of the West Sea."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately felt hopeful and quickly said to the Dragon King of the East Sea:
"If I visit those three seas again, do I no longer need to go to heaven to pray to the Jade Emperor for rain?"
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King of the East Sea quickly said to Sun Wukong:
"There's no need for the Great Sage. You go, and I just need to stay here and ring the drum and bell, and they will come naturally."
After the Dragon King of the East Sea finished speaking, Sun Wukong impatiently urged him to hurry up. The Dragon King of the East Sea of the Dragon King of the East Sea had no choice but to rush over. A short while later, the Dragon Kings of the three seas arrived one after another.
"Brother, what's the matter that you called us over in such a hurry?"
"Great Sage Sun wants to come here to borrow some help to subdue demons and monsters, and hopes to get your assistance."
The Dragon King of the East Sea spoke earnestly to the three other Dragon Kings.
Upon hearing this, the three Dragon Kings immediately summoned their subordinates, who, along with the Prime Minister Turtle armed with weapons, took the orders in their hands and arrived at the mountainside.
After Sun Wukong arrived with the shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and four old dragons, he said:
"Wait for me up there for a little while. The area ahead is where the Wandering Yaomo lives, so don't show yourselves yet. I'm going to make a bet with him. If I win, I'll capture him. If I lose, you can just keep making it rain."
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King immediately followed Sun Wukong's instructions.
Then Sun Wukong jumped down from the cloud and went into the forest. He saw Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing and said:
"I'm back. I've called them all over. You all need to listen carefully. Just be careful not to get your luggage wet in the rain. I'll handle the fight with him by myself later."
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing nodded upon hearing this and quickly hid the luggage. Seeing this, Sun Wukong jumped to the monster's doorway and shouted:
"Open the door quickly, your Grandpa Sun is here."
Upon hearing this, the monsters outside the door were immediately terrified and rushed back to report to Red Boy:
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Sun Wukong has returned and is shouting and insulting you at the door."
Upon hearing this, Red Boy immediately laughed triumphantly.
"That monkey must have come back because my fire didn't burn him at all. I let him go too easily just now. This time I'll definitely burn him until his skin is charred, his flesh is rotten, and all his fur is burned off."
Then Red Boy called to the little demons to push out the chariot, and walked out of the cave entrance with his Fire-Tipped Spear in a proud and imposing manner.
"So what if you're here Sun Wukong? Do you want to fight me again?"
"You monster, give my master back!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong felt a surge of anger and spoke seriously to Red Boy.
At the same time, Sun Wukong felt more confident because of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas in the sky.
Upon hearing this, Red Boy immediately raised his Fire Arrow Spear and charged at Sun Wukong hurriedly met him.
Sun Wukong was very angry because Red Boy had captured Sun Wukong master. Red Boy also very angry because he had finally captured Tang Xuanzang, but Sun Wukong kept disturbing Red Boy from enjoying Tang Xuanzang.
Sun Wukong and Red Boy fought for hundreds of rounds without Sun Wukong gaining the upper hand. Red Boy quickly put away his Fire-Tipped Spear, clenched his fist, and punched his nose twice.
Flames would burst forth, and the cars at the entrance would set off together with the smoke and fire, instantly creating a scene of billowing smoke and continuous flames.
Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong immediately summoned the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas to spray water into Red Boy's fire.
Just then, the rain began to fall, like shooting stars falling from the sky towards the fire.
The rain drizzled down, but it couldn't extinguish Red Boy's fire at all.
It turned out that the rain that the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas had hidden could only extinguish ordinary fire, while Red Boy's fire was the Samadhi True Fire. When the rain poured on the fire, it was like adding fuel to the fire, making it grow bigger and bigger.
Sun Wukong used the Fire-Avoidance Art and swung his Ruyi Jingu Bang) at Red Boy. When Red Boy saw Sun Wukong coming, he quickly spat out a mouthful of thick smoke. Sun Wukong hurriedly turned around, but it was too late.
Sun Wukong was so dazzled by the smoke that he couldn't help but shed tears. It turned out that Sun Wukong wasn't afraid of fire, but only of the thick smoke.
When he wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he was put into Taishang Laojun's Eight Trigrams Furnace for rigorous training, which is how he developed his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils. That's why Sun Wukong is now only afraid of smoke.
At this moment, Sun Wukong, covered in flames, hurriedly jumped into the water to try to extinguish the fire. However, the cold water touched his body, and Sun Wukong instantly consumed by rage, his soul leaving his body!
Upon seeing this, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were greatly surprised and immediately shouted:
"Marshal Tianpeng and Curtain-Raising General, quickly find your senior brother! Don't let him hide in the forest!"
Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and Wenyan hurriedly picked up their luggage and ran out of the forest, ignoring the muddy ground, and followed the water upstream to search.
After a while, a hairy leg appeared in the rapids. Upon seeing this, Sha Wujing quickly jumped into the water and pulled Sun Wukong ashore.
Sun Wukong's limbs were twitching, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, extremely cold. Sha Wujing's eyes welled up with tears when he saw this.
"Brother Monkey, I'm so sorry this time. Although you have a Changsheng appearance, you're still a short-lived and miserable person."
However, Zhu Bajie casually patted Sha Wujing on the shoulder and said to Sha Wujing:
"Wujing, don't cry now. This monkey is pretending to be dead; he's just trying to scare us."
