Beating the Old Dragon to Death
Upon hearing this, the prince consort sneered at Sun Wukong and said, "In that case, let's have a proper fight. But I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you and delay your journey to the Western Heaven to retrieve the scriptures."
The two then began fighting back and forth, while Zhu Bajie stood on the side of the mountain and watched them fight from dusk till dawn, and then from dawn till dusk again.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he raised his Nine-Toothed Rake and struck the monster on the back.
It turned out that the monster had nine heads, all with eyes that could see clearly. When it saw Zhu Bajie coming from behind, it raised its weapon to block the Nine-Toothed Rake.
The monster then flew into the air and revealed its true form: a Nine-Headed Bug with a very ferocious appearance.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Bajie was terrified and immediately panicked, quickly saying to Sun Wukong:
"Brother Monkey, I have never seen such a monster since I embarked on my journey to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures. This monster looks so beastly."
Upon hearing what Zhu Bajie said, Sun Wukong immediately flew up into the sky and continued fighting with the monster.
However, taking advantage of Sun Wukong's inattention, the demon suddenly grabbed Zhu Bajie and brought him to the Water Palace.
Upon seeing the monster's actions, Sun Wukong realized the danger and rushed into the water to rescue Zhu Bajie.
A little while later, Sun Wukong saw Zhu Bajie tied to a Zhuzi. Sun Wukong, looking puzzled, said to Zhu Bajie:
"Zhu Bajie, why are you tied up here? Where did your weapon go?"
After hearing this, Zhu Bajie gave Sun Wukong a wry smile and then slowly said to Sun Wukong:
"Don't mention this matter again. Ever since I was captured by this monster, it took all my weapons and tied me up here."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong looked at Zhu Bajie with a puzzled expression and asked, "So now do you know where your weapon is?"
After hearing what Sun Wukong Zhu Bajie said, Pigsy thought about it seriously for a long time, and then said to Sun Wukong, "It seems that my weapon was taken to the main hall by that monster, and now I don't know where he put it. It's really infuriating."
After hearing what Zhu Bajie said, Sun Wukong thought about it carefully for a while, and then said to Zhu Bajie:
"Wait here for me a little while. I'll go scout around there, then I'll steal the weapon for you, and then we'll go out together."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie nodded to Sun Wukong, and then Zhu Bajie continued speaking to Sun Wukong:
"Brother Monkey, you'd better hurry! I'm afraid that monster will eat me! What should I do then?"
Sun Wukong patted Zhu Bajie the shoulder and mocked him, "Are you still afraid of this? That monster keeps biting, and he'll probably get so greasy his mouth is all messed up that he won't eat you. So don't worry."
After hearing what Sun Wukong Zhu Bajie said, Zhu Bajie looked at him helplessly, but there was nothing he could do. After all, Sun Wukong had come to save him.
After Sun Wukong finished speaking, Zhu Bajie quietly slipped out. Sun Wukong then went to the main hall, used an Invisibility Technique to steal the Nine-Toothed Rake, and handed it to Zhu Bajie.
After getting the weapon, Zhu Bajie was bursting with confidence and said to Sun Wukong, "Brother Monkey, wait for me outside for a little while. I'm going to take my weapon and wreak havoc in that hall. Let's see who can stop me."
No sooner had Sun Wukong finished speaking than Zhu Bajie swam away. Zhu Bajie then raised his Nine-Toothed Rake and attacked the monsters. One of the monsters, seeing this, realized the danger and rushed to the main hall, shouting:
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! That monk has broken free of his restraints, come into the main hall, and collapsed inside!"
Upon hearing the words of the little demon, the Dragon King and his consort were caught off guard and hurriedly jumped out to hide. Zhu Bajie, disregarding life and death, rushed all the way to the main hall and smashed all the rice bowls to pieces.
Upon seeing Zhu Bajie's actions, the prince consort became extremely angry. He quickly led the princess into a room, raised his weapon, and stood before Zhu Bajie, loudly proclaiming:
"How dare you, you stupid pig, bully my family?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie became very angry and quickly said, "This matter has nothing to do with me in the first place, but you insisted on capturing me. Quickly return the treasure to me, and I will return the treasure to the king."
"Impossible, don't even think about it. I got this treasure through my own abilities, so don't even think about taking it back."
After saying this, the monster raised his weapon and struck at Zhu Bajie. However, at that moment, Zhu Bajie leaped out of the river, and the old dragon led his shrimp soldiers and Zhu Bajie generals to chase after him.
At the same time, Sun Wukong, who was on the river, suddenly saw the old dragon, raised his Ruyi Jingu Bang, and smashed the old dragon to pieces, with blood floating everywhere in the water.
Upon seeing this, the demons scattered in terror, but Sun Wukong did not pursue them. After a short while, Zhu Bajie continued:
"Brother Monkey, that demon must be severely injured now, but the old Dragon King suddenly felt himself killed by your staff. Those demons will definitely stay indoors when they get back, but it's already very late. What should we do now?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong said with a disdainful look, "Although it's already late, you can take this opportunity to go down and retrieve the treasure, then we can go back."
Upon hearing Sun Wukong Zhu Bajie's words and recalling the power of that weapon, Sun Wukong Zhu Bajie, seeing the expression on Zhu Bajie's face, understood his thoughts and said Zhu Bajie Sun Wukong:
"You don't need to worry about whether you can beat him. I'll be waiting for you outside the river, just like before. Once we lure him over, we'll take him down together."
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, Zhu Bajie nodded to Sun Wukong. Then, as Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong were discussing something, they suddenly heard a strong wind.
Sun Wukong looked up and saw that it was Lord Erlang Shen leading the Six Brothers of Mount Mei.
After a short while, Sun Wukong suddenly thought of a very good idea. Sun Wukong quickly went to Lord Erlang Shen and said to Lord Erlang Shen:
"Lord Erlang Shen, we have encountered a very difficult problem and would like to seek your help."
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, Erlang Shen asked Sun Wukong in confusion:
