Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

Let us now restore the truth of that year.

When King Dusyanta of Elephanta was hunting, he passed by a monastery and met a peerless beauty named Shakuntala. He was so lustful that he slept with her by using both soft and hard methods, ignoring her request that he propose to her adoptive father.

Even in his busy schedule, he did not forget to ask about Shakuntala's caste and make sure that she was at least a Kshatriya before he raped her. He was really afraid that if he acted impulsively, he would accidentally pollute his noble caste!

Although Bharata was young, he was still a man after all. He guessed the key points in an instant and clenched his fists like an angry little lion: "Mom, we won't go to Elephant City! A man like this is not worthy of being my father!"

"Bharata, a son cannot speak ill of his father." Shagun emphasized her tone, but she was usually gentle and soft-spoken, so even with her emphasis, she was just like an ordinary person, and there was really no deterrent effect. "Your father is sincere to me. When he left, he promised me that he would personally lead an army of four branches to come to the Taoist temple to marry me."

"But he left without leaving a token." Bharata said unhappily.

"A promise is more important than a token. He is my husband. If I don't trust him, who else can I trust?" Sha Gong smiled sweetly.

Bharata: ...

Unable to persuade his mother, Bharata left with a gloomy face the next morning. The next day, the group arrived at Xiangcheng. Wen Jiao made Huo Ling'er smaller and stuffed her into her sleeve. She made up an excuse and parted with them. Huo Ling'er kept talking in her sleeve: "Wen Jiao, I'm a little worried about Shakuntala. That Dushantuo doesn't sound like a good person. Why don't we go and take a look."

"Sister Huo's words really resonate with me." Wen Jiao said, using an invisibility spell. Just as she was about to follow, she suddenly felt her palms getting hot. It turned out that Bixie and Zhen'e were calling her frantically.

After the Thousand Miles Sound Transmission was connected, the panicked voice of the Exorcist immediately burst out: "Xingjun, Master Xuanzang and his two disciples have been captured by the monster, and the Monkey King has been trapped in a strange-looking golden cymbal by the monster. Help, help!"

The old monster with yellow eyebrows was the servant of Maitreya Buddha. He could capture anyone he saw with the human seed bag in his hand. It would be useless for Wen Jiao to go alone. She held down Huo Ling'er, who was about to jump out when she heard that Xuanzang was in danger, and said to Fu Yin: "As you said, all the lives are still alive, which shows that the monster is not a vicious person. As long as they haven't hurt their lives, everything can be turned around. You are small and weak, and you can't fight. Why don't you ask Sun Wukong through the golden cymbals to see if you should go to the heaven to ask for help?"

The two children were also confused when they saw that even Wukong, who was so powerful, was trapped. But when they heard Wen Jiao's calm voice, they calmed down a lot. Zhen Evil was released, and Pi Xie came to the side of the golden cymbal and whispered, "Sun Dasheng, we are the children sent by Queen Yin to help you. Can you hear me?"

Wukong's voice came immediately: "I can hear you, I can hear you, are you the two kids from Baihuaxiu's family? It's so stuffy in here, and I can't get a rest. Hurry up and find a way to let me out!"

Hearing his loud and powerful voice, Pixie knew that his life was safe, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "This golden cymbal is really strange, and we brothers can't do anything with it. Do you want to go to the Heavenly Palace to ask for help?"

"Go quickly, go quickly!" Wukong urged immediately.

After receiving the confirmation, the two boys felt more confident and flew back to the Heaven Palace with all their strength. Their ranks were too low, and they didn't know when they would be able to report to the Jade Emperor. So they made up their minds and hugged the Heavenly King Zhangzhang, who was guarding the gate, as soon as they arrived at the South Heaven Gate, crying, "Sun Dasheng is in trouble! Send us to call for help!"

The Heavenly King Zhangzhang was startled and quickly reported to the Lingxiao Palace. Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor immediately sent the 28 constellations to rescue. Soon, they had gathered at the South Heaven Gate, each of them looking dignified, brilliant, and impressive. One of the constellations unconsciously glanced at the faces of the two brothers, his eyes suddenly jumped, and he squeezed out of the team, rubbed his hands, gestured, and smiled proudly: "Two good boys, you have grown so tall in the blink of an eye."

When Pixie and Zhen'e saw his appearance, their faces darkened immediately. Pixie opened his hand that was about to pat his shoulder and said coldly, "Isn't this the Great Busy Immortal Kui Wood Wolf? When was he released from Laojun Palace?"

Kuimulang's smile froze. "He hasn't been released yet. This time, thanks to the magnanimity of His Majesty the Jade Emperor, he has granted me a chance to redeem myself and make meritorious contributions."

Zhen'e hid behind his brother and said with a fake smile, "So that's how it is. I told you. The Great Immortal Kuimulang is obsessed with lighting the stove for Laojun all day long and doesn't even have time to meet outsiders. How can he squeeze out time to come down to earth and subdue demons in such a busy schedule?"

Kuimulang was bullied by his two sons and said timidly: "Why wouldn't I want to see you? Isn't this a punishment from Heaven for me to watch the furnace for Laojun? I can't leave my post without permission. I heard that you two followed Wen Jiao Xingjun to practice, and later she helped you ascend to heaven. I'm so happy for you. If I wasn't forbidden to leave my post without permission, I would have come to Dongfang Guangxing Xingjun's mansion to visit you a long time ago."

"Afraid of leaving your post? You?" Bixie looked him up and down, and said in a sarcastic tone. If this biological father really loves his job and is as dedicated as he says, where did the two brothers come from? Did Baihuaxiu dream it up?

After Kuimulang returned to heaven, he was so busy trying to figure out how to get to shore safely that he had completely forgotten about his two sons. Later, when he heard that Wen Jiao had brought them up with her when she ascended to heaven, he was secretly happy that the two boys had a good future, but he never thought of visiting them.

After all, if he wanted to see his son, he had to give a letter to Wen Jiao, the host. How awkward would it be when they met? Everyone in the Heavenly Court knew that when they were fighting, not only was he tricked by Wen Jiao, but she also instigated the always gentle and considerate Princess Baihuaxiu to turn him into a hornet's nest? He had to bow down to this tough woman just to see two brats. Did he think his old face was worthless?

The world is big, and face is the most important. Rather than getting it out and being laughed at, it is better to pretend that you don’t know about your son’s news.

Anyway, even if the bones are broken, the two children still have tendons. How can they not recognize him as their father? Even if they are angry, they can just coax them with patience. Unexpectedly, even though he has been humble for several times, the two sons are still so veiled and unyielding. Kuimulang is a little embarrassed: "You two, don't be shameless! How can you talk to your own father like this?"

"We don't have a biological father! Our biological mother doesn't want us anymore, and our biological father died a long time ago!" Zhen'e roared.

Although Bixie didn't say anything, he stood in front of his brother with his arms outstretched, glaring at Kuimulang.
