Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

The official's pleading voice was accompanied by the first rays of morning light that dyed the sky red. Something in Wen Jiao's sleeve arched, and then a red light flew out, fell to the ground, and turned into a little red lion. It rolled twice on the spot like a puppy, and said sleepily: "Wen Jiao, what king? What fairy? Has a fairy descended to the earth?"

The official took three steps back tremblingly, but he missed a step and almost fell down the stone steps of the mountain road.

In just one day and one night, the three views of the ruler and his ministers of Baoxiang Kingdom were constantly refreshed.

First, they learned that the missing third princess had married a demon, then they saw a monk turn into a tiger in public, and finally they saw a lion speaking human language.

What kind of chaotic world is this?

Is this still the human world?

My ancestors, my mother, I want to go home!

Seeing that the back of his head was about to kiss the stone edge of the steps firmly, Wen Jiao waved out a shawl, wrapped it around his arms, and gently pulled him back, thus preventing him from facing the tragic fate of a skull bursting.

However, the official was still in shock and forgot to even say thank you. He pointed at Huo Ling'er who was washing her face with her paws and stammered, "Lion...lion spirit!"

As for the servants he brought with him, they had already run down the mountain in fear, carrying the sedan chair that King Baoxiang had sent to pick up Wen Jiao. The group of people had the king's orders, and they didn't dare to hide back in the royal city, so they had to gather at the foot of the mountain and look out to see what they were doing.

The official was trembling with fear, and Huo Ling'er was also startled by his shouting. She immediately looked around with wide eyes: "Lion demon, where is the lion demon? Hey, where am I?"

But it was not until this moment that she realized that she had woken up in a different place.

Wen Jiao waved at her, and Huo Ling'er jumped skillfully and lightly into her arms. Wen Jiao rubbed the crystal lion's ears and said in a deep voice: "Sister Huo, after you fell asleep last night, I talked to Xuanzang and found out that he was in trouble. So I didn't have time to wake you up and rushed here overnight. Now you and I are already in the territory of Baoxiang Kingdom. Mortals don't know the supernatural power and mistakenly think I am a female fairy and you are a demon."

Then he said to the official: "Huo Ling'er is my Taoist friend. Although he has the body of a lion, he is a spirit who has attained the Tao. Don't be afraid."

The official secretly glanced at Huo Linger several times, and saw that she was lying in Wen Jiao's arms like a cat. Not only was she not scary, but she looked a bit adorable. Only then did he slowly calm down.

Wen Jiao added: "I appreciate your king's kindness. But I am impatient with so many people, so I will not attend the banquet. Please let the envoy report on my behalf."

The official looked unhappy and stammered, "But our king has issued a strict order to invite the fairy."

"If your king wants to invite us, we, Wen Jiao, must go. Is this the law or the rules of the gods?" Huo Ling'er said unhappily, "I said I won't go, so I won't go. Go back quickly. I still have to save my nephew Xuanzang."

Little White Dragon listened carefully, and the whole dragon was about to explode with the huge amount of information: Wen Jiao? It seems that the maiden name of our master's biological mother is just these two words? I remember that she was practicing Taoism, and it seems that her Taoism is not low?

The Dragon King's Third Prince was a perceptive person. Seeing that things were not going well, he whispered to Xuanzang, "Master, could this Jurchen be your mother?"

Xuanzang was filled with bitterness and nodded the tiger head three times. Xiaobailong was delighted: "Then we will recognize her right now and solve the current dilemma!"

Xuanzang shook the tiger's head like a spinning top, scratched the ground with his claws, and wrote: "She thought I was a tiger."

The space in the cage was limited, and just scratching these five words had already taken up most of the space. Xuanzang scratched out five more words and wrote another one: "Unless Wukong comes."

Wukong has great magical powers and has the trust of A Niang, so he will be able to convince A Niang to let her go.

This is the only way to prove his innocence at the moment.

After Xuanzang finished writing, he lowered his neck due to the heavy shame.

There was no wind in the reception pavilion, but Wen Jiao's earrings swayed a few times.

I heard Goku sigh.

He hesitated for a while and then said, "Madam, I want to go back to Huaguo Mountain."

"What are you going to do? To receive Zhu Bajie?" Wen Jiao saw through his thoughts.

Wukong said in a complicated tone: "I hate Master for being stupid and unfair. After he was fooled like this, I can't bear to see him suffer. Besides, he has regretted it."

"Is that all that's enough?" Wen Jiao disagreed.

Being able to repent easily also means being able to make the same mistake easily again. In the original novel, the Yellow Robe Monster was because Wukong was soft-hearted and it was too easy for him to return to the team. After only scaring Tang Seng once, he easily exposed all the abominable things he did when he expelled Wukong. Not learning enough lessons, he expelled Wukong again because of the execution of a few villains, which made the loyal Wukong have second thoughts.

No matter whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, for those who practice cultivation, never telling lies is a basic quality.

"If I meet you again, I will fall into the Avici Hell." How can one easily say this?

Now that he has spoken, if I don't ask him to respond, wouldn't that be deceiving my heart and God?

In fact, this life-and-death test was what Wukong had to wait until he was faced with the question of the real and fake Monkey King. He beat Tang Seng almost to death in the name of Er Xin, and then he absolved himself of the oath. It can be seen that the emperor will not not avenge, but only see when he will avenge.

Wen Jiao has never been the kind of person who would take revenge even after ten years. She usually takes revenge on the spot.

Wukong sensed her disapproval and hesitated for a moment, but his tone softened in the end: "After all, I made a bold promise in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva that I would protect Tang Monk on his journey to the West to obtain the Buddhist scriptures. Besides, Master helped me to attain liberation and was very kind to me in the past..."

The Monkey King is so kind and righteous that he cannot be persuaded.

Wen Jiao shook her head slightly, and said with a smile: "You can go. But when we meet again, don't tell anyone about what happened between you and me."

Wukong laughed heartily, his voice full of bright and heroic spirit, "Madam, please feel free to be cautious. I am not stupid. I will put on a good show with that idiot Bajie!"

After he finished speaking, he had already ascended into the sky, and with another somersault, he leaped a distance of 180,000 miles.

After a few breaths, he stood on the clouds above the Flower-Fruit Mountain, used his fiery eyes, and looked as far as he could with his hands on the awning. He saw Bajie, who was busy on his way, on the clouds thousands of miles away. He immediately sank down and landed under the banner of "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven", and shouted: "Children, pick fruits and vegetables quickly, pick flowers and grass, and help me prepare the banquet to welcome the guests!"

In the reception pavilion, Huo Ling'er quickly noticed the presence of Xuanzang and Little White Dragon. She sniffed around the cage suspiciously for several times and said to Xuanzang, "Why does your tiger smell like Xuanzang?"

Xuanzang was delighted and was about to scratch the words with his claws to explain, when he heard Wen Jiao say sadly: "It was this tiger monster that ate Xuanzang."

Huo Linger roared angrily, her body instantly expanded into that of a giant lion, and she slapped the cage with one claw, instantly flashing with lightning: "You damn tiger, I'm going to eat you!"

Xuanzang fell to the ground again in despair.
