Seeking Help
"Are there still things you can't handle? Where did your previous morale go?"
After hearing what Lord Erlang Shen said, Sun Wukong smiled sheepishly at Lord Erlang Shen and said:
"I had no choice in this matter. We've arrived in a country, but a Demon Beast there stole the country's treasures, causing the monks to be imprisoned by the king."
Lord Erlang Shen looked at Sun Wukong with a puzzled expression and asked, "What is the connection between these two things?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately understood and said to Lord Erlang Shen, "Because the demon stole the treasures that the king had bestowed upon the monks, the king believed that the monks had stolen the treasures and locked them up together."
Lord Erlang Shen nodded upon hearing this, and then said to one of his brothers:
What kind of monster lives in this place?
The man who looked like a leopard said to Lord Erlang Shen:
"An old dragon lives here now, but he's very honest. Why would he steal this country's treasures? There must be some misunderstanding."
After hearing what that person said to Lord Erlang Shen, Sun Wukong immediately came over and explained:
"Actually, it's not what you think. This old dragon once took in a prince consort, but that prince consort caused a rain of blood and stole the treasures here, so the king was very angry."
Upon hearing this, everyone instantly understood, and then one of the demons said to Sun Wukong:
"Oh, I see. Don't worry, we'll take care of this. Now, you two hurry up and bring that monster out, and then we'll kill it together."
After hearing what the man said, Zhu Bajie nodded, then patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder Sun Wukong said, "In that case, I'd better go down now and lure that monster out."
Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong, upon hearing this, said to Zhu Bajie with grave expressions:
"Then I'll leave this matter to you. The place we're going to is extremely dangerous, so please be careful."
After hearing what Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong were saying, Zhu Bajie jumped into the water and saw that the dragon prince was wearing mourning clothes, while everyone was crying and lamenting.
Zhu Bajie immediately raised his Nine-Toothed Rake and killed the dragon prince instantly, frightening the others into a panic. However, when the prince Zhu Bajie saw Zhu Bajie, he started fighting with him.
After fighting for a long time, Zhu Bajie gradually realized that he could no longer defeat the prince consort, so he took the prince consort to the water. When the crowd saw that the prince consort had arrived on the water, they rushed forward.
Erlang Shen was very puzzled when he saw the Erlang Shen consort's nine heads. After a short while, he slowly said:
"This prince consort must be a descendant of High Antiquity divine beast. We must not kill him, or his lineage will end."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong nodded. Then, the prince consort, severely injured, fled. Sun Wukong swiftly arrived beside the princess, who was immediately terrified upon seeing Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong said to the princess, "Don't be afraid now. Quickly return the treasure that your husband gave you. That thing is extremely important; you can't possibly keep it safe."
Sun Wukong tricked the princess out of the treasure with a combination of coaxing and deception, but the princess had no idea what had happened.
A short while later, just as the old woman was about to leave, Zhu Bajie grabbed her. Just as Zhu Bajie was about to strike her, Sun Wukong suddenly spoke up:
"Fool, stop right now! Don't kill him! Otherwise, we'll have a witness when we bring this old woman before the king."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie immediately let go, and after a short while, they arrived back in the country. The king was extremely grateful to see Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie return together.
Seeing the Dragon Woman's puzzled expression, the king asked Zhu Bajie, "Who exactly is this demon? Can she speak human language?"
After hearing what the king said, Zhu Bajie smiled and said to the king, "Don't worry about this. He's a demon who has cultivated for so long; he can definitely understand human speech."
Upon hearing this, the king immediately spoke sternly to the dragon woman:
"You monster, why don't you just tell the truth now? Why suffer so much more?"
After hearing the king's words, Luang Phor thought carefully for a long time, then pitifully said to the king:
"Then what exactly does Your Majesty wish to know?"
After pondering this for a long time, the king slowly said to the Dragon Woman, "What I want to ask you is, how did you manage to steal this thing?"
After hearing what the king said, Luang Phor smiled and said to him, "I Grand Pure One the specifics of how it was done. All I know is that my son-in-law got that treasure. They took advantage of the blood rain to steal it."
After pondering this for a long time, the king continued, "How exactly was the Ganoderma stolen?"
After hearing the king's words, Luang Phor sneered, looked at the king as if he were an idiot, and said to the king:
"That was my little daughter, Princess Wansheng, who secretly went Hall of Numinous Mist Heaven to steal the Queen Mother Niangniang's Lingzhi herb. This relic needs the nourishment of this immortal herb to remain intact for a thousand years and shine for ten thousand years. When it goes underground or into a rice paddy, it brings auspicious energy."
"Now that you've taken it from me, my family is ruined and I'm dead. Please don't spare my life! I want to go with them."
After thinking seriously for a long time, Zhu Bajie sneered and continued:
"I have no intention of letting you off the hook; what you've done is utterly heinous."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong laughed and said, "I'll spare you now, but you must guard this pagoda for me."
After pondering this for a long time, the old woman slowly said to Sun Wukong:
"It's better to live a wretched life than to die a good death, but since you're carrying my life, what am I supposed to do for you?"
After hearing what the Dragon Woman said, Sun Wukong summoned a servant who used an iron chain to pierce the Dragon Woman's shoulders. He then brought Sha Wujing to the king and said:
"Your Majesty, now please take a look at how we arranged for this Luang Phor to be placed inside this tower."
Upon hearing this, the king immediately followed Tang Xuanzang to the Golden Light Temple.
Sun Wukong then immediately summoned the local Land God and demanded that he deliver only one meal to the dragon woman every three days.
