One More Trip

What do you mean by that?

Upon hearing this, Bodhisattva Lingji smiled and said to Sun Wukong:

"Back then, I received the teachings of the Buddha Tathagata, who bestowed upon me a Wind-Fixing Pill and a Flying Dragon Staff. However, the Flying Dragon Staff had already immobilized the Yellow Wind Demon."

"We haven't used this Wind-Fixing Pill yet. Now I'm giving it to you. Princess Iron Fan will definitely be able to keep you from leaving. You can then use the fan to extinguish the fire. Wouldn't that be doing a great service?"

Sun Wukong nodded upon hearing this. Then the Bodhisattva took a bag from her sleeve, placed the Wind-Fixing Pill and the bag together in Sun Wukong's clothes, and said to Sun Wukong:

"If you fly northwest in this direction, that's where the Rakshasa's house is."

After leaving the Bodhisattva Lingji, Sun Wukong summoned his Somersault Cloud and immediately headed to Emerald Cloud Mountain. A short while later, he used his Ruyi Jingu Bang) to strike the city gate and shouted loudly:

"Open the door quickly, I just came to borrow the fan for a moment, I have no other intentions."

At the same time, Rakshasi was very surprised when she heard Sun Wukong's words. She thought to herself, "This monkey is quite capable. Otherwise, how could he have returned so quickly?"

After thinking this through, Rakshasi raised her weapon and shouted loudly at Sun Wukong:

"Sun Wukong, since you're not afraid of me and have come back seeking death, then I'll grant your wish."

Sun Wukong thought that Princess Rakshasi meant to give Sun Wukong the Plantain Fan, Sun Wukong was overjoyed. He rushed to Rakshasi side, but Rakshasi raised the fan in her hand and swung it at Sun Wukong. Seeing this, Sun Wukong quickly dodged to the side.

After they fought for five or six rounds, Rakshasi was exhausted. However, Sun Wukong fought with increasing vigor. Seeing that there was no way to resolve the situation, Sun Wukong Rakshasi took out her Plantain Fan and fanned Sun Wukong.

However, Rakshasi Fan was very surprised to see that Sun Wukong remained completely still.

After a short while, Rakshasi fanned herself again, and Sun Wukong indeed did not move. Rakshasi finally panicked, quickly put away her Plantain Fan, turned around and went back to her cave abode, closing the door tightly.

Seeing that Princess Rakshasi had the door tightly shut, Sun Wukong used a clever trick. He put the Wind-Fixing Pill in his mouth, transformed himself into a small insect, and quietly slipped through the crack in the Rakshasi.

At the same time, Rakshasi had just returned to her cave abode when she said to her servants, "I'm incredibly thirsty. Quickly, bring me some tea."

Rakshasi's servants quickly poured Rakshasi a cup of tea. Sun Wukong was overjoyed and immediately chimed in. Rakshasi, who was extremely thirsty, didn't even look at the tea and drank it all in one gulp.

However, at this moment, Sun Wukong had already flown into Rakshasi's stomach, revealed his true form, and shouted loudly, "Sister-in-law, quickly lend me your fan!"

Upon hearing this, the Rakshasi was greatly alarmed and immediately told her subordinates, "Quickly check if all the doors and windows are closed tightly!"

"Madam, we have already locked the doors and windows tightly; Sun Wukong certainly can't get in."

After hearing what the Rakshasi said, her subordinates carefully checked the situation before continuing.

Upon hearing this, Rakshasi asked in confusion, "Since the door is already closed, why is Sun Wukong shouting in our house?"

One of the servants, hearing Sun Wukong's voice coming from Rakshasi, exclaimed in surprise, "Madam, that Sun Wukong's voice actually came from you!"

Upon hearing this, Rakshasi Fan shouted in confusion, "Sun Wukong, where are you? Dare to reveal your true form? Why are you hiding there?"

Sun Wukong pondered this carefully, and after a long while, he slowly said to Rakshasi:

"I've never used any tricks in my life; I've always used the real thing. I'm already inside you by my own skill. I know you're thirsty, so I'm bringing you a bowl of water to quench your thirst."

As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, he kicked down, and the Rakshasi felt an unbearable pain in her stomach, sitting on the ground and wailing repeatedly.

Sun Wukong said, "I know you're not thirsty anymore after drinking the water, so I'll give you a snack to fill your stomach."

As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, he leaped upwards. Princess Rakshasi felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if being cut by a knife. Rakshasi rolled on the ground in agony, her face deathly pale, and cried out, "I know I was wrong! Please forgive me, Great Sage Sun!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong stopped what he was doing and said seriously, "You're only trying to get close to me now. I'm only sparing your life because of your husband Bull Devil King. Quickly, bring me your fan so I can use it."

Upon hearing this, Rakshasi quickly said to Sun Wukong, "Alright, I'll lend you this fan right now. Come out and I'll give it to you right away."

Sun Wukong was overjoyed upon hearing this, but a sliver of doubt remained. He didn't quite believe Rakshasi's words. Sun Wukong then said to Rakshasi:

"Now, take out that Plantain Fan and let me take a look."

Upon hearing this, Rakshasi summoned a servant to bring out a Plantain Fan and placed it beside her. By this time, Sun Wukong was already at her throat.

Sun Wukong laughed and said to Rakshasi, "I'll spare your life now, otherwise I would have made a hole in your waist. Now open your mouth, and I'll naturally come out."

Upon hearing this, the Rakshasi opened her mouth wide. After a short while, Sun Wukong slowly flew out, revealing his true form. After obtaining the fan, he loudly proclaimed:

"If only you had known it would turn out this way, why did you have to spend so much time dealing with me just now?"

Then, Sun Wukong carried the Plantain Fan and walked out. When his men saw Sun Wukong's appearance, they quickly released Sun Wukong.

When Sun Wukong saw Zhu Bajie was overjoyed and immediately shouted to Tang Xuanzang, "Master, look! Brother Monkey has returned with the Plantain Fan!"

Tang Xuanzang was chatting with the old man alongside Sha Wujing when they suddenly heard Zhu Bajie's voice. Tang Xuanzang immediately went out to look at Sun Wukong, but Sun Wukong was talking to the old man who had placed the banana leaf beside the door:

"Come quickly and take a look, is this Plantain Fan?"

After hearing Sun Wukong's words, the old man turned his gaze back to the Plantain Fan. After a short while, the old man nodded and said to Sun Wukong:

"That's right, that's right, this is the Plantain Fan."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang was overjoyed and said to Sun Wukong:

"You really are capable; you've gone to great lengths to obtain this treasure."
