Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang slowly looked at Sun Wukong, filled with gratitude, and said to Sun Wukong:
"Thank you so much this time. I really regretted not listening to you back then. If I hadn't left that circle, none of this would have happened."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong waved his hand helplessly and said:
"Master, you're being too polite. I've already rescued you, so please don't say anything more."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang lowered his head and began to eat. After a short while, as if he had thought of something, he said to Sun Wukong Tang Xuanzang:
"Wukong, I promise I will listen to what you say this time."
Sun Wukong upon hearing this, then glared angrily at Zhu Bajie and said to Zhu Bajie:
"You idiot, if you keep spouting nonsense in front of Master, I'll break your legs."
When Zhu Bajie saw Sun Wukong's angry face, he smiled sheepishly. A little while later, Sun Wukong led Tang Xuanzang to a certain place.
Upon seeing Tang Xuanzang, the old man hurriedly came out to greet him and said:
"I knew you'd be coming here, so I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang immediately realized that the old man must be a deity from some realm in disguise.
After a short while, Tang Xuanzang immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the old man, who then reminded Tang Xuanzang:
"Tang Xuanzang, now that you've figured out my identity, let me offer you some friendly advice."
Sun Wukong, being somewhat impatient, immediately said:
"Just tell me, stop being so mysterious. I can't wait any longer. Is there some kind of monster here again?"
Having learned from past mistakes, Sun Wukong immediately became more vigilant when he heard the gods say those words.
Upon hearing this, the old man smiled and said to Sun Wukong:
"Don't overthink it. What I really want to say is, don't drink the water here lightly, or you'll definitely regret it."
The old man said that this place would disappear, and in its place would be a house. Upon seeing the house, Sun Wukong instantly understood, quickly bowed to it, and said to Tang Xuanzang:
"Master, since that deity is associated with this house, let's listen to him. After all, he's been here for a long time. When we get to the other side, let's not drink the water; we can just get some nearby."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang nodded to Sun Wukong, because Tang Xuanzang had never heard Sun Wukong's words before, which led to some things that Tang Xuanzang would later regret.
After spending the night there, Tang Xuanzang continued his journey with Sun Wukong. Before leaving, Sun Wukong took out a gourd, filled it with water, and said to Tang Xuanzang:
"Master, you should drink the water from this gourd from now on. Otherwise, we might not be able to predict what might happen."
Tang Xuanzang nodded upon hearing this, and the group continued their journey. After some time, the bitter cold disappeared, replaced by the blazing sun. Tang Xuanzang wiped the sweat from his brow and said to Sun Wukong:
"Wukong, please hand me that gourd so I can have some water. I've been traveling for so long, and I'm incredibly thirsty."
After listening to this, Sun Wukong thought about it seriously for a long time, then slowly handed the water bottle to Tang Xuanzang. Tang Xuanzang drank a few sips, wiped his mouth, and placed it behind his white horse.
A short while later, sandstorms suddenly began to rage. Upon seeing this, Tang Xuanzang quickly protected his head and eyes.
At the same time, the wind blew so hard that everyone couldn't open their eyes, and the water jug had already been blown to the ground, spilling the water out. Everyone was stunned by what they saw.
"What should we do now? There's no water left. The deity just warned us that the water ahead wasn't drinkable."
When Zhu Bajie saw the water spilled on the ground, he began to complain.
Sun Wukong had not yet thought of a solution, so he continued speaking to Tang Xuanzang:
"Master, how about this? Let's keep going until we reach a house, then we'll ask them for some water."
Tang Xuanzang nodded upon hearing this, and then Sun Wukong continued to lead the way. After a while, Tang Xuanzang finally became unbearably thirsty, so he patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder and said to Sun Wukong:
"Wukong, I'm really thirsty right now. Look, there's a lake right here. Let's have some water before we continue our journey."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong used his Qianliyan and suddenly saw a city in the far distance. Helpless, he could only nod.
The four of them immediately forgot what the immortal had just told them. Tang Xuanzang immediately went to the water's edge, scooped up a mouthful of water, and put it in his mouth.
"That felt so good!"
After wiping the water droplets from his lips, Tang Xuanzang slowly raised his head to look at Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong hadn't drunk a drop, but Zhu Bajie had already jumped into the lake and gulped down several mouthfuls.
When Tang Xuanzang saw that Sun Wukong's lips were chapped, he said to Sun Wukong with concern:
"Wukong, why don't you come down and have a few sips? This water is so sweet and refreshing."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong smiled and said to Tang Xuanzang:
"Master, have you forgotten? I can live for over five hundred years without eating or drinking, let alone now. So I can certainly tolerate this little bit of thirst."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang nodded to Sun Wukong. After a short while, everyone had finished drinking water and continued on their journey.
Just as the four travelers were about to reach the city ahead, Tang Xuanzang suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his abdomen, while Zhu Bajie Tang Xuanzang felt the exact same pain.
Tang Xuanzang felt very distressed and said to Sun Wukong, "Wukong, after I drank the water from that pot, my stomach is in great pain. Is there something wrong with the water?"
At this moment, Zhu Bajie, clutching his stomach, spoke up in agreement with Tang Xuanzang's words, saying slowly, "That's right, Zhu Bajie Brother Monkey, is there something wrong with the water? My stomach also feels very painful."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong looked closely but found nothing wrong with Tang Xuanzang and Zhu Bajie, and the lake was not shrouded in Yao Qi.
This completely bewildered Sun Wukong. Seeing that Tang Xuanzang's belly and Zhu Bajie's belly were getting bigger and bigger, Sun Wukong suddenly became a little panicked.
Sun Wukong, having no other choice, said to Tang Xuanzang, "Master, why don't you endure it a little longer?"
