Alarm

Sun Wukong accidentally bumped into a luminous pearl, which fell to the floor with a loud thud. Just then, the old demon, who was sleeping downstairs, was startled awake by the loud noise and jumped up, shouting:

"Wake up, everyone! Someone's come into our room! Get up and see who it is!"

Upon hearing the king's words, the monsters immediately stood up, grabbed their candles, and shouted as they all looked into the bag.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! That Tang Xuanzang has already escaped."

The demon was immediately astonished upon hearing this. After a short while, another demon reported to the Yellow-Browed Old Yaomo:

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Sun Wukong and his companions have also escaped."

After hearing the two demons' report, the Yellow-Browed Old Yaomo loudly proclaimed:

"Quickly close all the doors tightly, and guard every place strictly. Don't let a single fly escape today."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong was greatly alarmed, thinking to himself, "Oh no, this is bad! The demon has already woken up, and I can't take this bundle anymore."

After thinking this through, Sun Wukong fled in a flash. The demon couldn't find Tang Xuanzang anywhere. Now that it was getting light, he took out his weapon and led a group of demons in pursuit.

After a short while, the demon finally caught up with Tang Xuanzang. However, when the group of immortals saw the demon approaching with his minions, they actively dealt with the lesser demons.

However, the group of immortals who were protecting Tang Xuanzang led Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and Tang Xuanzang to abandon the White Dragon Horse and scatter in all directions.

After a short while, the gods led Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, armed with weapons, to meet them.

The Yellow-Plum Old Yaomo grew increasingly fierce in battle, taking the lead in killing enemies. After a short while, Sun Wukong loudly proclaimed, "Here comes your Old Sun!"

As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, Zhu Bajie rushed to Sun Wukong and said, "Brother Monkey, why are you only arriving now? How's the luggage? Did you get it?"

After hearing what Zhu Bajie said, Sun Wukong smiled at Zhu Bajie and said:

"Don't say any more. I almost couldn't even protect my own life, let alone those luggage."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie was greatly surprised. Just as he was about to continue speaking to Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing approached with his weapon and said to both Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie:

"You two, stop chatting here and quickly pick up your weapons to fight those monsters."

After hearing what Sha Wujing said, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie raised their Ruyi Jingu Bang) and Nine-Toothed Rake, and charged together towards the core of the demons.

After a long time, seeing that it was getting late, the demon blew a whistle to warn the other demons to be careful. However, the demon took out the treasure himself, which Sun Wukong saw very clearly.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong sighed inwardly, and wisely said loudly, "Everyone, get out of here quickly! Run!"

After saying this, Sun Wukong abandoned Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie, and the other immortals and scattered to escape. The others, who were still in a daze, were taken into the monster's pocket.

Then the Yellow-Plum Old Yaomo withdrew his troops and returned to his lair. He took out some ropes and tied up all the immortals, Tang Xuanzang, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing together, locking them in a cellar.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong had already leaped to the highest heavens, saving his life, but seeing that the monsters had already returned to their caves, he felt extremely distressed.

Sun Wukong gritted his teeth, wanting to raise his Ruyi Jingu Bang to seek revenge on the monster, but reason prevailed over Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong thought to himself, "Why are we going to the Western Heaven Paradise to retrieve the scriptures? That's just too miserable."

Upon thinking of this, Sun Wukong burst into tears. After a short while, Sun Wukong loudly proclaimed:

"Master, you've suffered too many hardships in this world. Now, with every step you take, you encounter demons, and there's no escaping them. What should we do?"

However, at this moment, only the wild geese in the sky responded to Sun Wukong.

After a short while, Sun Wukong continued to think:

"I wonder what kind of Law Treasure that Yellow-Plum Old Yaomo has that can hold so much stuff; it's managed to stuff all those gods inside."

"If I plead with the Jade Emperor again, Jade Emperor might blame me. I remember there's a Great Emperor Zhenwu in the North; I could go find him."

After thinking about this, Sun Wukong immediately flew north.

When Sun Wukong ran out of ideas, he rode his Somersault Cloud to Mount Wudang and asked the Great Emperor Zhenwu to rescue Tang Xuanzang and the group of immortals.

After flying for a while, Sun Wukong gently landed on a cloud. Upon closer inspection, he realized that this was indeed a wonderful place.

The area was covered with lush trees and abundant grasses; the mountains, waters, and scenery here were beautiful.

After hesitating for a moment, Sun Wukong approached the five hundred spirit officials. One of the officials quickly stepped forward to greet Sun Wukong, looking puzzled, and said:

"Who are you? Why are you here? What brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately said respectfully, "I am the Sun Wukong, Great Sage Equal to Heaven. I have some matters to discuss with the Great Emperor Zhenwu."

After hearing what Sun Wukong said, the spirit official thought about it carefully for a moment, and then said to Sun Wukong:

"Great Sage Sun, that's really bad luck. The Great Emperor Zhenwu has already gone out and we don't know when he'll be back."

Just then, a phantom image of the Great Emperor Zhenwu suddenly flickered beside Sun Wukong, startling Sun Wukong. The Great Emperor Zhenwu then spoke to Sun Wukong:

"Wukong, what brings you to me? Is there anything in this world that you can't handle?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong smiled awkwardly at the Great Emperor Zhenwu and said, "I had no choice in the matter. When I protected Tang Xuanzang on his journey to the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures, the journey was fraught with peril."

"Now we've arrived at a mountain called Lesser Western Heaven Paradise. There's a Yaomo in Lesser Thunderclap Monastery. When my master entered the mountain gate, he saw that it was full of Buddha statues and mistook them for real Buddhas."

"So we knelt down and worshipped, and as a result, we were bound by that Yaomo. We were caught off guard and he pressed us under that golden bowl."

After speaking for so long, Sun Wukong finally couldn't hold back any longer, so Sun Wukong paused and continued:

Fortunately, a deity went to plead with the Jade Emperor, Jade Emperor immediately dispatched the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions to descend to the mortal realm that very night to rescue me.
