Putting on an Act

"Oh no, this gust of wind means Zhu Bajie is likely in grave danger."

Upon hearing this, Sha Wujing looked at Sun Wukong with a bewildered expression and said to Sun Wukong:

"What exactly happened to my second senior brother? Could it be that he can't run away?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong quickly said to Sha Wujing, "You sit here for a while, I'll go inside the cave and inquire."

After speaking, Sun Wukong raised his Ruyi Jingu Bang) and went to the entrance of the Fire Cloud Cave, where he shouted.

Just as the little demon was about to open the door, Sun Wukong suddenly transformed into an old package.

The little demon was greatly surprised upon seeing this, and upon returning, he reported to Red Boy:

"The king guessed that Sun Wukong must have been scared, so he left that package here. It seems to be full of Tang Xuanzang's clothes."

Upon hearing this, Red Boy was overjoyed and said with a smile:

"That package doesn't contain nothing of value; it's all Tang Xuanzang's clothes. Why don't we take it in, take it apart, wash it, and then sew it back together?"

The little demon quickly carried the package inside, completely unaware that it was Sun Wukong in disguise.

After Sun Wukong entered the cave, he plucked a hair from his head, blew on it, and it turned into a fly that stuck to the door. Suddenly, he heard Zhu Bajie grunting there.

Sun Wukong quickly flew over and heard Red Boy scolding Zhu Bajie:

"You're such a fool, you actually believe my nonsense? Just wait and see, your Brother Monkey definitely won't come to save you."

Zhu Bajie remained silent upon hearing this. After a short while, Sun Wukong, upon hearing this, thought to himself:

"Instead of sulking here, this fool might as well just submit to that monster. Since he's persisting like this, what reason do I have not to save him?"

After thinking about this, Sun Wukong immediately went out to find the Bull Devil King.

Before Sun Wukong even flew to the Bull Devil King's location, he suddenly saw that the little demon had already passed by Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong, on a sudden inspiration, used one of his hairs to transform into the Bull Devil King. Upon seeing Sun Wukong, the lesser demons rushed over and said:

"Grandpa, the King has captured a Tang Xuanzang and wants to invite you to come and eat his Tang Monk."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong smiled and said to the group of little demons:

"Since things have come to this, I might as well go along and take a look."

After Sun Wukong finished speaking, the group of little demons led Sun Wukong hurriedly to the entrance of Red Boy's cave.

A little while later, Red Boy heard a little demon reporting Red Boy outside, and he was immediately overjoyed. He said to the group of little demons:

"You guys are really useful at this crucial moment, all of you so quick! Quickly set up the ranks, make a grand entrance, and welcome my father Bull Devil King!"

Upon seeing the Bull Devil King Red Boy quickly said to him:

"I previously captured a Tang Xuanzang named Xuanzang who had traveled from the Western Heaven to retrieve Buddhist scriptures, so I'd like to invite you to join me today for a meal of his Tang Monk. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the Bull Devil King quickly said to Red Boy:

"Is it the Tang Great Tang of the Eastern Lands to travel to the Western Heaven to obtain Tang Xuanzang?"

Upon hearing this, Red Boy nodded quickly, and then the Bull Devil King hurriedly said to Red Boy:

"If that's the case, never mess with Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong once Heavenly Palace, and even with 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals setting up an inescapable Heavenly Net and Earthly Web, the Jade Emperor couldn't capture him. How dare you eat his master?"

"Quickly send his master out. Whatever you do, don't provoke that monkey. If he finds out you ate his master, he'll definitely use his Ruyi Jingu Bang to pierce a hole in your cave."

Upon hearing this, Red Boy felt a little angry and said to the Bull Devil King:

"How can Father boost others' morale and diminish his own? Sun Wukong has three men, but Tang Xuanzang is already inside my cave. Just now, when Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie came to demand Tang Xuanzang..."

"I fought him for a while, using my Samadhi True Fire to drive him away. Afterwards, Sun Wukong went to find the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas to come and protect him, but they were still no match for my Samadhi True Fire."

"By then, Sun Wukong was so dazed by the heat of my fire that he was completely disoriented. Zhu Bajie went to ask Bodhisattva Guanyin for help, and then I impersonated Bodhisattva Guanyin and captured Zhu Bajie. Sun Wukong was so scared that he dropped his bundle."

That's why I called you over to eat Tang Monk with me.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong said to Red Boy with deep concern:

"I know you know him, but if he grew bigger, he definitely wouldn't be able to get into your house; but if he shrank, you'd have a hard time spotting him."

Upon hearing this, Red Boy patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder and said to Sun Wukong:

"Even though that's what they say, even if he had a heart of iron, he would never be able to get through my door."

After hearing this, Sun Wukong thought about it seriously for a long time, and then said to Red Boy:

"My son does indeed have a way to defeat him, which is why he's inviting me to eat Tang Monk, but we can't eat it today."

Upon hearing this, Red Boy felt a little puzzled and asked Sun Wukong:

"Father, why did you say that today? You always eat the most meat at mealtimes."

Sun Wukong pondered for a long time before slowly speaking to Red Boy:

"For so long, your mother has often asked me to do good deeds, but I've realized I have nothing to do, so I've decided to become a vegetarian."

Upon hearing this Red Boy was filled with doubt and thought to himself:

"My father used to live by eating people and has lived for thousands of years. Why has he suddenly become a vegetarian? He has committed so many evil deeds. When will he ever be able to pay for this?"

"That statement is definitely false; my father is now highly suspicious."

Then Red Boy went outside and asked the group of little demons, "Where did you find me, this father?"

Upon hearing this, the little demons said to Red Boy:

"We found your father when we were only halfway there, so we brought him home."

Upon hearing this, Red Boy was immediately shocked and quickly said to the group of lesser demons:

"This is not my father at all. You have never found my father. The one in the house now is a fake."

After thinking about this, Red Boy was about to rush into the house to expose Sun Wukong when he suddenly stopped and said to the group of little demons:

"That's just what I observed from his appearance, but his manner of speaking doesn't seem right. I'm just afraid he's faking it. You all need to observe carefully before you suffer a loss."

"If he does anything, don't be afraid of hurting him. Let me ask him again and see what he really said."
