Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

Bajie pretended that Xuanzang missed Wukong and tried to trick Wukong into going to Baoxiang Kingdom to save people. But Wukong either took him to travel in the mountains or to play in the water, and even arranged a little monkey somersault competition, and refused to take Bajie's request to go back to see his master.

Bajie was very anxious, but he didn't dare to urge him. After all, the main reason why the Monkey King couldn't become their eldest brother was the White Bone Demon's instigation, but he was also working hard to stir up trouble because he was dissatisfied with Wukong's monopoly on the great achievements. If he continued to talk, he might irritate Wukong and bring up the old grudges. His pig head couldn't withstand the blow of the golden hoop.

Bajie tried to persuade Wukong in every possible way, but seeing that Wukong still refused to accept the challenge, he had no choice but to leave in a dejected mood. On the way back, the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. The more panicked he became, the more aggrieved he felt. He couldn't help but curse, "You monkey head who was struck by five thunders from heaven, you refused to leave even when I tried to persuade you kindly. You insisted on staying on the mountain like a demon!"

After he had cursed for a few words, he heard Wukong shouting angrily from very close behind him: "Stupid! How dare you say bad things about me behind my back!"

Bajie was so frightened that he turned around quickly, shaking his head and waist so that his two big ears were like windmills: "No, no, who dares to say bad things about you?"

Wukong sneered, "Far away in the sky and close at hand, you, the pig, are the ones. I want to ask you, when my master misunderstood me, not only did you not try to resolve the misunderstanding, but you instigated him to expel me from the sect. How dare you curse me and ask for five thunderbolts to strike me from heaven?"

Bajie was afraid that he would bring this up, so he said awkwardly, "I am a chatterbox, so I just grumbled a few words casually, but I never thought that the old monk would take it seriously..."

Wukong grabbed his collar and threw him, causing Bajie to fall to the ground. Wukong stepped on his chest and said, "Let me ask you again. When I went to beg for food, did I starve you on purpose? At Wuzhuang Temple, you and Sha Seng coveted the ginseng fruit that you couldn't even smell when you were gods in heaven. Who helped you steal it? And you offended my sworn brother Zhen Yuanzi for it? Your family and I have always had some conflicts, but as brothers, there are more benefits than disadvantages. How do you repay me like this? Now that the position of the eldest senior brother belongs to you, are you feeling comfortable with it?"

Bajie felt ashamed at this moment, and said stumblingly: "Big Brother, I know I was wrong, didn't I come to invite you?"

"Invite me?" Wukong felt even more angry and sad. "You would be so kind as to invite me? Unless Master is in trouble!"

"It's just a disaster!" Bajie blurted out. He looked at Wukong's face, carefully moved the monkey's foot off his chest, and sighed, "It's a long story."

He omitted the fact that he had deserted the battlefield, and started from the time when Xuanzang mistakenly entered Boyue Cave and was captured by the Yellow Robe Monster and then rescued by Baihuaxiu, and went on to talk about how he was beaten up by a mysterious female nun last night: "That Taoist nun insisted on saying that our master ate his son. Guanyin Bodhisattva, with the old monk's character, it would be better to eat him than to ask him to eat people!"

Bajie said, pretending to wipe his tears: "Master and the White Dragon Horse are in her hands now. Big Brother, if you don't save them, I'm afraid they will be killed by that Taoist nun."

The master is not Yi Ya, how could she cook her own son? Wukong thought to himself, but showed anger on his face: "Although Tang Seng and I have severed our relationship as master and disciple, after all, a master is a father for life. If people know that my former master was cooked like a ball of hair, where will my face be? Well, well, I will go with you on this trip."

Bajie was overjoyed and hurriedly urged Wukong to get on the road. Wukong took a leisurely bath, changed into his old monk's robes, settled his monkeys and grandchildren, and then set off. The two of them flew all the way to the reception pavilion outside the capital of Baoxiang Kingdom. Seeing that there was no one there, Bajie immediately panicked: "It's terrible, I'm still late, I'd better go back to pack the luggage and return to Gao Laozhuang."

Wukong grabbed his collar and pulled the whole pig back: "What are you busy with?" He raised a note in his hand, "This was thrown on the ground. It says that the king of Baoxiang Kingdom asked the Taoist nun to subdue the demon. She should have gone to the Boyue Cave in Wanzi Mountain. Master and Little White Dragon should have been taken there by her. Let's go and take a look."

Outside Boyue Cave, a man and a demon were fighting endlessly.

The yellow-robed monster was extremely powerful and brave, while Wen Jiao's swordsmanship was strict and impeccable. The two of them fought to a draw.

Wen Jiao was weak in comparison. If she just kept fighting like this, she would inevitably lose after a while. The yellow-robed monster saw this and his sword flashed like a whirlwind, not giving Wen Jiao any chance to escape.

The swords collided again, and Wen Jiao was knocked back several feet. She reached into her sleeve, and was about to take out a magic weapon, when she saw the yellow-robed monster slow down, opened his mouth, and yawned loudly.

"Why am I so sleepy?" he wondered.

If you eat roasted meat seasoned with Yaksha tribe's incense as a meal, if you don't feel sleepy, who will?

Wen Jiao was afraid that he would suspect Bai Huaxiu, so she sneered, "I thought you were some kind of witch, but it turns out you are just a weakling who has been drained of your body by alcohol and sex."

The yellow-robed monster angrily said, "I can defeat you even if I am seduced by wine and sex!" Although he shouted fiercely, he muttered in his heart, "I had a royal banquet in the palace in the first half of last night, and after returning, I drank with my wife until the second half of the night. This morning, I went to the welcoming party for the Lion Vanguard, and just now I drank a lot of wine at my wife's place. Am I really weak?"

Once you feel sleepy, no matter what you do, your hands and feet will gradually become weak. Seeing that the situation was not good, the yellow-robed monster attacked fiercely, and when he was about to get close to her, he opened his mouth and spit out a crystal clear and exquisite relic the size of an egg, and was about to smash it towards Wen Jiao's face.

Anyone who has read Journey to the West knows that he has this trick, but he was eaten by Wukong disguised as Baihuaxiu? Wen Jiao had been prepared for this trick. When she saw him open his mouth, she immediately flew backwards and at the same time, with the tip of her sword, she accurately knocked the relic away.

There was a whirring sound in the wind, and a red shadow flew out. Huo Ling'er showed up in the form of a lion and said happily, "Beautiful Pearl, here I come!"

The woman actually had help! The Yellow Robe Monster didn't recognize Huo Ling'er as his newly minted Lion Vanguard, but when he saw the situation was not good, he jumped up from the ground and tried to escape into the air.

Wen Jiao was unable to stop him, so she immediately spread her green sleeves, and a golden light burst out of her sleeves, which turned out to be a golden rope. It swelled with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, the yellow-robed monster was tied up like a zongzi.

The yellow-robed monster fell to the ground involuntarily and rolled several times. He stretched out his arms with all his strength, and the veins on his forehead jumped. He immediately stretched the Ruyi Golden Rope a circle, and was about to escape when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and all the strength in his body disappeared.

He turned his head and saw that Bai Huaxiu had left Boyue Cave at some point and was now being held in Wen Jiao's arms, with one of her hands tightly held. In Bai Huaxiu's hand was a small sword, the light of which flickered like a swimming dragon.

"Wife, you..." The Yellow Robe Monster looked at Baihuaxiu in disbelief.

The latter seemed to be hurt by his gaze and dodged for a moment, but then, with strength coming from nowhere, he broke free from Wen Jiao's control and raised the small sword with his own hands and stabbed it towards his throat.
