The Bodhisattva Arrives
In an instant, the mountain was burned to ashes by the flames released by Sun Wukong. After a short while, Sun Wukong shook his head and the flames and sandstorm were completely wiped away.
The Demon King was terrified and had nowhere to run. Surrounded by the raging fire, how could he possibly escape?
There was only a tiny flame left, and just as Sun Wukong was about to expand that flame, he suddenly heard a voice from mid-air.
The voice said, "Sun Wukong, stop right now, I'm here."
Sun Wukong quickly looked up and saw Bodhisattva Guanyin, Bodhisattva Guanyin was holding Jade Purity Bottle in her left hand and a willow branch in her right, sprinkling sweet dew from above to put out the fire.
Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong quickly hid the Law Treasure in his waistband and immediately knelt down before Bodhisattva Guanyin.
Bodhisattva Guanyin used a little nectar, and in an instant, the flames vanished without a trace. Sun Wukong quickly said:
"What is the origin of this monster? How can we trouble you to come down here personally to subdue it?"
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, Bodhisattva Guanyin smiled and said to Sun Wukong:
"This monster is my mount. The reason is that the shepherd boy was dozing off there and didn't take any precautions against this wicked beast, so he descended to the mortal realm without permission."
Upon hearing this Bodhisattva Guanyin, Sun Wukong instantly understood. Then, Sun Wukong asked Bodhisattva Guanyin Sun Wukong a crucial question:
"So what exactly did this monster do after it entered the room? All I know is that it kidnapped the Queen."
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, Bodhisattva Guanyin sighed and slowly said:
"You wouldn't believe it, but back then, this king was still a prince, not yet on the throne. He was young and loved hunting. He led his men to Falling Wind Slope."
"At that time, the Western Bodhisattva Peacock Great Wisdom King gave birth to two children here, a male and a female. The two birds were resting on the hillside when the king saw them and harmed the male Peacock. The female Peacock also perished in the process."
"The Great Wisdom King Bodhisattva was very distressed, so he made the king learn bird calls every year. Later, I heard this monster, but I didn't take it to heart."
"I never imagined that this monster had deceived the Queen and averted disaster for the King. Now, after so much time has passed, his ill-fated relationship has finally come to an end, so I have come to subdue this monster."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong instantly understood and continued:
"Although this story exists, he had already abducted and defiled the Empress, which was somewhat immoral and should have been a capital offense."
"But now that you've come, I can spare his life, but he won't escape punishment. I must give him twenty lashes before you can take him back."
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, Bodhisattva Guanyin frowned and said to Sun Wukong:
"Wukong, let's just leave this matter alone. If you hit him, he'll really die. Just spare his life for my sake, and I'll take credit for your merit in slaying the demon."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong dared not disobey Bodhisattva Guanyin 'Bodhisattva Guanyin words and could only say to her:
"Bodhisattva Guanyin, then I'll take him back for your sake, but please don't let him descend to the mortal realm again, or I'll beat him every time I see him."
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, Bodhisattva Guanyin immediately turned to the demon and said:
"You wicked beast, didn't you hear what the Great Sage Sun said? Why don't you quickly reveal your true form? What are you waiting for?"
As soon as Bodhisattva Guanyin finished speaking, the demon rolled over and revealed its true form, cleaning itself of all the filth.
Seeing this, Bodhisattva Guanyin sat down. Then, she glanced at the demon's neck but didn't see the three golden bells. She then said to Sun Wukong:
"Wukong, stop fooling around there and give me back my bell right now."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong twisted his neck and said defiantly, "I didn't know he had those three golden scales, and I didn't take those three things."
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, Bodhisattva Guanyin pondered for a long time before saying to Sun Wukong:
"Sun Wukong, if you don't return my three Law Treasure, I'm going to start reciting the Tightening Incantation- Tightening Incantation Mantra. You know how painful it is, so I advise you to think it over carefully."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately returned all three bells from his waist. Then, Bodhisattva Guanyin took the bells, tied them to the demon's body, and finally flew away.
At the same time, Sun Wukong straightened his clothes, raised his Ruyi Jingu Bang), and killed all the monsters, then burned them all.
He then went to the palace and met the Empress, inviting her to return to the country together. The Empress was quite surprised and said to Sun Wukong:
"How could you suddenly barge in? Where is that monster now? If he finds you, you'll probably have a hard time escaping."
After hearing what the goddess said, Sun Wukong smiled at her and said:
"You don't need to worry about this anymore. Bodhisattva Guanyin just came here and took your demon away. So now I'm here to take you back to the palace so you can see the king as soon as possible."
As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, he gathered some straw and made a straw dragon. Facing the goddess, he said:
"Ride on this grass dragon, close your eyes, and don't be afraid. I'll take you back to see the king now."
Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, the goddess immediately did as she was told. In less than half an hour, she arrived in the city, as if the wind were rushing past her ears. Sun Wukong roared loudly in the sky:
"Your Majesty, we are now back in the palace. Please open your eyes and don't be afraid anymore."
Upon hearing this, the Queen followed Sun Wukong's instructions and indeed saw a familiar scene before her. Overjoyed, she went with Sun Wukong to the main hall and saw the King.
Upon seeing this, the king hurriedly jumped off his throne, grabbed Yuanfang's hand, and was about to pour out his longing when suddenly a sharp pain shot through him.
The king was immediately gripped by excruciating pain and cried out, "Good heavens, what is this thing? It hurts like hell!"
Upon hearing what the king said, Zhu Bajie burst into loud laughter.
"Look at your king, he's in such a hurry, he doesn't even have the fortune to enjoy it. Even this garment is protecting its master."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately grabbed Zhu Bajie 'Zhu Bajie ear and said to him:
"Since you've put it that way, why don't you go up and give it a try?"
