Revenge
"Your Majesty, last night a monster delivered a letter to you, and you took pity on him and let him stay here for the night. Now it is dawn, and the king there has invited you to a banquet."
Just then, the fairy suddenly ran over and shouted, "I'm so sorry, I'm terribly sorry, but we can't go now."
As soon as the demon finished speaking, the lion demon emerged from the surrounding cave, his face bruised and swollen. Upon seeing this, the little demon immediately knelt down and said to the lion demon, "Your Majesty, what brings you here? Your Majesty is about to come with me to your banquet."
The lion demon shook his head and didn't say anything. After a short while, the Demon King got up and called the lion demon to his side.
The demon immediately dropped her weapon, knelt down in worship, and tears streamed down her face. Seeing this, the old demon said:
"You sent me a letter yesterday asking me to attend a banquet there today, but why have you come in person, and why are you crying here?"
After speaking, the lion spirit kowtowed again and said, "The night before last, I was wandering in the sky when I suddenly saw colorful energy soaring into the sky from a city. When I rushed over, I found that there were three weapons emitting light there."
"So I brought all three weapons here so you could see them, but yesterday three swindlers stole them from me. When I asked them for them back, they didn't even know what was good for them and just started beating me up."
The lion spirit wiped away his tears and continued:
"I asked him who he was, and he said he was a disciple of Tang Xuanzang, traveling from the Great Tang of the Eastern Lands to the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures. He came here wanting to summon the travel document, but was detained by the prince to learn martial arts."
"So, what exactly happened? Just tell me the important part!"
The Demon King finally couldn't hold back any longer and said to the lion spirit.
"Didn't I already say that? Those three beat me up. I couldn't beat them at all. I don't even know their names."
"That's why I came here, hoping you can help me kill all those monks and avenge me."
Upon hearing this, the Demon King pondered for a long time before laughing and saying, "My child, so it's them. You're unlucky; you've messed with the wrong people."
After hearing what the Demon King said, the lion spirit asked with a puzzled look, "Grandpa, why do you say that? Do you know who it is?"
After speaking, the Demon King slowly and methodically explained to the lion Demon King, saying:
"The one with the long snout and big ears is Zhu Bajie), and the one with very dark skin is Sha Wujing). Both of them are alright, but the one with the hairy face Duke of Thunder's mouth is Sun Wukong."
"That person Divine Ability powerful. Five hundred years ago, he caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and even 100,000 heavenly soldiers couldn't capture him. How could you possibly provoke him? Fine, I'll go with you. I'll even capture that prince to avenge you."
Upon hearing this, the lion demon quickly nodded to the Demon King, who then led a group of Demon King armed with weapons to the Tiger Head Mountain.
The air was thick with the smell of smoke, and faint sounds of weeping could be heard. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the two demons who had been immobilized by Sun Wukong earlier.
The lion spirit, still somewhat puzzled upon seeing the two demons, approached them and asked, "..."
Are you two really monsters under my command?
Upon hearing this, the two demons knelt down, weeping and kowtowing, saying, "How could we be fake? Yesterday, when we received the silver to buy pigs and sheep and came to this main road..."
Suddenly, we saw a monk with a hairy face and Duke of Thunder's mouth. I don't know what kind of Law Technique he used, but he made us stand here speechless and unable to move. We were all knocked to the ground by him.
He wiped away his tears and continued:
"Then they ransacked our bodies and stole all our silver. We were both in a daze until now, but when we got home, we found the house had already burned down, and we didn't see you or the other brothers."
"So I'm here crying my heart out, not knowing how this fire even started."
Upon hearing this, the lion spirit couldn't hold back his tears, knelt on the ground, and cried out to the heavens:
"Those monks are absolutely despicable! How could they do such a thing? They burned down my entire cave abode, burned my beautiful woman to death, and all my brothers and sisters have disappeared! I'm absolutely furious!"
Just as he was feeling sad, the old Demon King gently patted the lion spirit and comforted him, saying:
"Don't be too sad. When the time comes, I'll bring them all here, and you can decide what to do with them."
After saying this, the monster cried uncontrollably and continued:
"Grandpa, all the monsters in my cave were killed by this monk. What's the point of me keeping this life? I might as well just go and join them."
The lion demon then charged towards the cliff, but was quickly stopped by the other demons, nearly losing his life.
Some monsters rushed into the city. Thunder and lightning roared in the sky, and clouds billowed. The people in the city were terrified and rushed into their houses without regard for their own families.
However, the city gates had already been closed, and someone came into the palace and loudly proclaimed:
"Oh no! It sounds like a monster is coming!"
Meanwhile, Tang Xuanzang and his entourage were having breakfast when they suddenly heard someone talking about this matter. They quickly went out and asked:
"What exactly happened? Why do you say a monster came? Didn't we already eliminate the monster?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd said to Sun Wukong, "Many demons are flying sand and stones near our city. What should we do now?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Don't worry, everyone. These are just demons from the Tiger Mouth Cave. They couldn't defeat me yesterday, so they must be seeking help. Let me and my brothers go out. You can close the door first."
As expected, the old prince ordered all four demons to be imprisoned and then sent Sun Wukong and his companions out of the city.
It is said that Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing, and Sha Wujing rode Zhu Bajie clouds and arrived outside the city wall. There they saw that the demons on the other side were lion demons, of all kinds.
However, standing in the middle was the Nine-Headed Lion, with the Nine-Headed Lion demon right next to it. The two monsters who had been immobilized by Sun Wukong earlier were standing on the ground carrying red flags.
Zhu Bajie, being rather reckless, stepped forward and shouted, "What are you treasure-stealing monsters doing here today?"
The Yellow-Haired Lion Spirit gritted his teeth and cursed at Zhu Bajie. The Yellow-Haired Lion Spirit said...
