Revealing His True Form
After thinking for a moment, Sun Wukong plucked a hair from his body, blew a breath of magic, and the hair instantly transformed into a golden fly, which flew towards the old demon. The old demon panicked and said:
"Brothers, this is bad! Sun Wukong has already come in!"
After he finished speaking, all the monsters, big and small, in the cave raised their weapons, and some even held pots, pans, and brooms, and rushed forward to catch the flies.
However, Sun Wukong couldn't help but suddenly burst into laughter. Sun Wukong laughter, however, revealed his true form, and he was immediately grabbed by the third demon, who said:
"Brother, please don't let Sun Wukong fool you!"
Why would you say that?
The Azure Lion said to the Kunpeng.
"The little demon who came to report just now wasn't Little Wind Scout; he was Sun Wukong. He must have seen Little Wind Scout kill him, so he transformed into this form to deceive us."
Kunpeng grabbed Sun Wukong's clothes and said to the Azure Lion.
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately panicked, thinking to himself, "Oh no, this monster has sharp eyes; he recognized me right away."
After thinking it over, Sun Wukong stroked his fur and said to the Azure Lion, "How could I be Sun Wukong? I'm the Little Wind Scout King! You must have mistaken me for someone else. Please don't misunderstand me!"
After speaking, the Azure Lion said to Kunpeng, "Third brother, you must have mistaken him for someone else. He is Little Wind Scout. I've seen him several times today. I know him."
He then continued to ask Sun Wukong, "Do you have the token I gave you?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately pulled out the token and said to the Azure Lion, "Of course I have it! You can see it's still on me."
At the same time, Sun Wukong took out the token and showed it to the Yaomo. The Azure Lion, even more convinced that Sun Wukong was indeed Little Wind Scout, laughed and said:
"Brother, please don't wrong him. Look, he still has that brand on his hand."
"Brother, you didn't see what he looked like just now. When he was laughing, I saw him reveal his true form, and when I caught him, he transformed into this form again."
After Kunpeng finished speaking, he immediately summoned the lesser demons and said, "Quickly bring the rope over, I'll show you whether it's real or fake right now."
The lesser demons quickly grabbed ropes, and the three demons pinned Sun Wukong to the ground, tying Sun Wukong up with his limbs in the air. When they lifted his clothes to take a look, it was indeed a monkey.
It turns out that Sun Wukong has Seventy-Two Transformations. If he transforms into birds, beasts, flowers, trees, etc., his body will also change. However, if he transforms into a person, he can only change his face, but his body cannot be transformed.
Everyone looked closely and saw that Sun Wukong indeed had yellow fur, two red buttocks, and a tail. The old demon, seeing this, laughed and said:
"It's Sun Wukong's body with Little Wind Scout's face—that's him."
After saying this, the elephant demon felt extremely happy and loudly proclaimed:
"Men, quickly prepare some wine. The three of us will have a celebratory drink. Now that we've captured Sun Wukong, Tang Xuanzang is our meal."
"Don't drink now. Sun Wukong is incredibly versatile; he can use Escape Movement Method and might escape. Let my men bring out my treasure first, put Sun Wukong in this bottle, and then we can drink without worry."
Kunpeng watched as Sun Wukong pondered for a long time before speaking to the demon.
The Azure Lion laughed loudly, "Third brother is right, that's how it should be done."
At the same time, some more medicines arrived, the door to the treasure vault was opened, and bottles were carried out. It took twelve people to lift those bottles.
Because the bottle was a treasure born from the combination of Yin and Yang, it needed to be moved according to a certain position. Soon, the bottle was carried out and placed outside the door.
After the little demons wiped the bottle clean, they opened the lid, threw Sun Wukong inside, put a cork on it, sealed it again, and went to drink.
"Sun Wukong is now inside my bottle. He can forget about going to the Western Heaven Paradise to retrieve the scriptures again, unless he is reincarnated. Otherwise, there's nothing we can do. Don't worry."
After seeing that Sun Wukong had entered the bottle, Kunpeng chuckled and said...
All the monsters, big and small, went off to drink with Kunpeng, laughing and joking, without mentioning a word about Sun Wukong.
Now, Sun Wukong arrived inside the bottle, only to be shrunk by it. He simply squatted inside, and after a short while, he suddenly felt a chill and burst out laughing, saying:
"That monster is all talk and no action. How can it deceive people by saying that this bottle will turn into blood in no time? We can stay in this cool place for a few more years without any problems."
Sun Wukong originally had no idea what the treasure's function was. If a person went inside and didn't speak for a year, the year would be very cool. However, if they heard someone speaking, fire would start burning them.
Just then, before Sun Wukong could finish speaking, flames erupted all around him. Fortunately, Sun Wukong was skilled enough to sit in the middle and chant Fire-Avoidance Instruction, making him completely unafraid of the scorching flames. After enduring for half an hour, some poisonous snakes inexplicably emerged from all around to bite Sun Wukong.
However, Sun Wukong was not afraid of these things at all, because he had a copper head and an iron body. The snakes' teeth were already broken and shattered. In an instant, several more snakes emerged and wrapped themselves around Sun Wukong, making him feel unbearably panicked.
"Everything else is fine, but these fire dragons are really making me uncomfortable. What if I can't break free in a little while and end up getting so angry that I lose my temper?!"
Sun Wukong muttered something under his breath, while Sun Wukong brain raced, trying to come up with a solution.
In an instant, Sun Wukong used his Transformation Technique and grew several hundred meters taller. However, the bottle also grew along with Sun Wukong. Then, Sun Wukong shrunk his body, and the bottle shrank as well.
"This is difficult, what should I do? I'm growing and he's growing, I'm small and he's small, what should I do?"
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong felt some pain all over his body and quickly reached out to touch it, only to find that it had already been softened by the fire. Seeing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"What should I do now? My body has been burned so badly that I'm afraid I'll be disabled forever."
Then she couldn't help but shed tears.
"Master, when I converted to Buddhist Order, I received the teachings of Bodhisattva Guanyin, and devoted myself to doing good. I escaped natural disasters, and now I have traveled with you to various places, subdued many monsters, and even helped you subdue Zhu Bajie and obtain Sha Wujing."
