The Real and the Fake Bull Devil King
"If he is truly the father, then what difference does it make if he doesn't eat today, or even if he doesn't eat for another two weeks?"
After speaking, Red Boy immediately rushed inside and continued to bow to Sun Wukong:
"I went through so much trouble to capture him, Tang Monk, why do you say you won't eat him? I can let that go, but I also want to ask you, what is my actual birth date?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong asked Red Boy with a puzzled expression:
Why did you suddenly ask me this? I'm not Grand Pure One about it either.
Upon hearing this, Red Boy immediately said to Sun Wukong:
"You always know my birth date and time, how come you suddenly forgot today? You must be faking it! Men, seize him!"
Red Boy and the group of monsters quickly surrounded Sun Wukong. Seeing this, Sun Wukong had no choice but to reveal his true form and use his Jingu Bang to block them.
A short while later, Sun Wukong transformed into a ball of golden light and escaped from Red Boy's cave abode. Upon seeing this, the demons quickly said to Red Boy:
"Your Majesty, it's terrible! Sun Wukong has already escaped!"
Upon hearing this, Red Boy quickly said to the monsters:
"Forget it, since he's already escaped, I can't catch him anyway. Quickly close the door, lest he break in again. Now hurry up and wash Tang Xuanzang and put him in the steamer."
Then, Sun Wukong, holding his Ruyi Jingu Bang), laughed heartily and walked out of Red Boy's cave. Seeing this, Sha Wujing quickly ran over and said to Sun Wukong:
"I didn't see you rescue Master, so why are you laughing?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong recounted Sun Wukong actions to Sha Wujing, who then burst into laughter.
A short while later, Sun Wukong summoned his Somersault Cloud and flew to the South Sea, where he met Bodhisattva Guanyin.
Bodhisattva Guanyin quickly said to Sun Wukong:
"You impudent monkey, what are you doing here instead of protecting Tang Xuanzang? What is it all about today?"
After thinking about it seriously for a long time, Sun Wukong said to Bodhisattva Guanyin:
"Bodhisattva Guanyin said that when I was protecting Tang Xuanzang on his journey, we suddenly encountered Red Boy, who captured my master."
"Then he unleashed the Samadhi True Fire, but I was no match for him. I was anxious to reach the East Sea and called upon the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas to come and help me."
"But that Red Boy used that wisp of dark smoke, which almost blinded me and killed me."
Upon Bodhisattva Guanyin quickly said to Sun Wukong:
"That's the Samadhi True Fire he cultivated through his own skill, why didn't you invite me to join him?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong smiled sheepishly at Bodhisattva Guanyin and said:
"I was already unconscious at that time. It was Zhu Bajie who went looking for you, but the monster transformed into your appearance and tricked Zhu Bajie back into the cave. Now he's tied up in that bag."
Bodhisattva Guanyin was furious upon hearing this and cursed:
"This monster is truly outrageous, daring to transform into my likeness and commit evil deeds."
After Bodhisattva Guanyin finished speaking, she threw the Jade Purity Bottle in her hand into the sea. Sun Wukong was terrified and immediately knelt down below, saying:
"The Bodhisattva's fiery temper might be due to something I said that wasn't quite right; he even lost the Jade Purity Bottle. I should have known better than to tell him about this."
A short while later, the bottle emerged, carried by a monster.
The tortoise, carrying the Jade Purity Bottle, climbed ashore and nodded to Bodhisattva Guanyin. Sun Wukong was very pleased with himself upon seeing this.
"So he was just a bottle watcher. He probably asked this old tortoise for the bottle because he couldn't see it."
Upon hearing this, Bodhisattva Guanyin frowned and said to Sun Wukong:
"What are you whispering about down there, you little monkey? Hurry up and bring me that bottle up."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong hurriedly went to retrieve the Jade Purity Bottle, but after a short while, the bottle remained motionless. Seeing this, Sun Wukong quickly went to Bodhisattva Guanyin's Bodhisattva Guanyin, knelt down, and said to her:
"Bodhisattva, my hands and feet are too weak to lift it right now. Normally, I could lift this bottle with ease."
Bodhisattva Guanyin nodded upon hearing this, and then continued speaking to Sun Wukong:
"Normally it's just an empty bottle, but now that it's been thrown into the sea, it's only filled with a little bit of seawater, which is why you can't lift it."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong quickly put his palms together and quietly returned the greeting to Bodhisattva Guanyin. Bodhisattva Guanyin then stepped forward and gently lifted Jade Purity Bottle with her right hand, placing him flat on her left palm.
The turtle nodded upon seeing this, and then dived back into the sea.
Then, Bodhisattva Guanyin continued to sit on the lotus throne and said:
"Sun Wukong, what I have in this bottle is not the same as the Dragon King's own sweet dew, but the Samadhi True Fire that can extinguish that demon."
"If you can take it, then go and subdue the demon. But if you can't carry it, yet you want the Shancai and Longnü to go with you, then you have ulterior motives and are just trying to deceive people."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong hurriedly tried to explain to Bodhisattva Guanyin, but Bodhisattva Guanyin continued:
"You're only after my Dragon Girl's fair skin and beauty, and the Jade Purity Bottle, which is a treasure. If you trick her into giving you away, how will we have time to look for you?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong quickly explained to Bodhisattva Guanyin:
"I have already converted to Buddhist Order and no longer do such things. If you really don't believe me, then look at what I have that is valuable in my life, and leave it behind."
Upon Bodhisattva Guanyin quickly said to Sun Wukong:
"I don't want anything else, I just want that one hair on the back of your head."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong touched the hair on the back of his neck and quickly said to Bodhisattva Guanyin:
"Bodhisattva, even this single hair of yours was a gift from you. If you pluck it, it will no longer be able to save my life. Please, Bodhisattva, find something else."
Upon Bodhisattva Guanyin scolded Sun Wukong:
"You're now going to pluck even a single hair from my head and expect my Dragon Girl to do it."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong smiled and said to Bodhisattva Guanyin:
"Bodhisattva, even if you don't care about the monk's sake, please care about the Buddha's sake too! You must save my master!"
Upon hearing this Bodhisattva Guanyin immediately descended from her lotus platform and went to the cliff to rescue Tang Xuanzang. Sun Wukong was overjoyed to see this and invited Bodhisattva Guanyin to go outside.
Then, Bodhisattva Guanyin took half a lotus flower and placed it in the water, saying to Sun Wukong, "Just step on this half of the lotus flower, and you will naturally cross the river."
Sun Wukong had no choice but to comply. Then, Bodhisattva Guanyin said to one of the deities:
