Chapter 221 World of Famous Works 10
Tang Sanzang smiled with relief and said, "With your words, I am relieved. Wukong, you are naturally intelligent and highly skilled. On this journey to the West, we will have to rely on you to subdue demons and protect me."
He felt that the monkey had become much more obedient since it put on the golden headband given to it by Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Sun Wukong chuckled: "No problem, no problem."
Tang Sanzang carefully put away the cassock himself, then said to Sun Wukong, "It's getting late, Wukong, let's hurry on our way."
In the nearby jungle, the Black King hid in the shadows, secretly observing every move, fearing that Tang Sanzang might not be able to find the cassock.
He was relieved when he saw a monk find the cassock and deliver it to Tang Sanzang.
The Black Bear Spirit took one last look at the cassock and was about to return to his cave when he saw Sun Wukong returning. He was both shocked and furious.
It turns out that the pilgrim was actually Tang Sanzang's disciple. Wasn't he the same person who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace back then?
That damned monkey must have tricked him on purpose to get his master's robe back.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and the angrier he became. Just as he was about to jump out and shout, "Damn Bi..."
Suddenly a cold wind swept over him. He couldn't dodge in time, felt a chill on his neck, and lost consciousness.
Tang Sanzang was helped onto the horse by Sun Wukong. Hearing a noise behind him, he turned around to look, but saw nothing.
"Wukong, can you hear anything?"
Sun Wukong looked behind him but saw nothing. He blinked and said, "I didn't hear anything. Master, could you have misheard?"
Tang Sanzang frowned, feeling that this place was too strange. Fear gripped him, and he quickly said, "Let's go quickly."
After the master and apprentice left, Lin Xiaoqian emerged from behind a large tree, holding a tranquilizer gun in his hand.
He said with a smug look on his face, "I told you my marksmanship is pretty good now."
Jiang Shuang praised, "Not bad, Xiao Qian's naked-eye shooting has improved a lot."
Liao Zhuang strolled over to Black King and used a magical artifact to tie him up. He then asked, "Little Qian, you used twice the dosage of anesthesia as you would for a normal large animal. Is he really alright?"
Lin Xiaoqian waved her hand: "Mo Ying has checked it. The dosage is fine. Besides, he's not an ordinary bear, but a bear demon that has cultivated for many years. If the dosage is too low, it won't be of any use to him."
She walked quickly to the Black King's side, squatted down, and stared at him carefully.
He was muscular, but his limbs and head had not yet fully developed into human form.
His entire head was a black mass, and you had to look closely to see what he looked like.
Up close, his face was even darker, quite ugly, but he wore a red, black, soft headscarf, which made him look adorably ugly.
Lin Xiaoqian took many photos of him before looking up at Liao Zhuang and Jiang Shuang and saying, "This anesthetic is enough to keep him asleep for a day and a night. By the time he wakes up, Brother Monkey will be far away."
The three men carried the black bear spirit to the flying vehicle parked to the side, then found a secluded spot on Black Wind Mountain to put it down before leaving.
The Tang Monk and his disciples, along with a white dragon horse, continued their journey. After traveling for another five or six days on a desolate road, they finally came across a village.
Exhausted and hungry, Tang Sanzang urged Sun Wukong to scout ahead and find a place to stay when they saw a village.
After walking a few steps, they met a boy at the intersection. Sun Wukong grabbed the boy and asked, "Brother, may I ask you, what place is this?"
The boy was terrified when he saw his hairy face. He screamed and tried desperately to escape, but he couldn't get away no matter what he did.
However, he was very stubborn and refused to say what place it was no matter what.
Sun Wukong, in a fit of temper, insisted on asking him. With no other choice, the boy reluctantly told them, "This is the border of the Kingdom of Wusizang, and it is called Gao Laozhuang."
Upon hearing that it was Gao Village, Sun Wukong was taken aback. He remembered that Lin Xiaoqian and the others had mentioned that there was a pig demon in Gao Village who was the second disciple that Tang Sanzang would take on his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
Originally Marshal Tianpeng in heaven, he was banished to the mortal world for harassing Chang'e and was mistakenly reincarnated as a pig. Now he is the son-in-law of the Gao family in Gao Village.
Thinking of this, he looked around and asked the boy in a pretentious manner, "I see that there seems to be a demonic aura surrounding this area. Is there a monster in your village?"
The boy immediately widened his eyes and nodded vigorously.
Then he pointed at Sun Wukong, "You."
The Monkey King was so angry that he wanted to hit him, but Tang Sanzang quickly stopped him.
"Wukong, don't scare them. The important thing is to find them a place to stay."
Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, "Master, don't be in a hurry."
He turned to the boy and asked, "What I mean is, is there a pig demon in your village?"
A look of surprise flashed across the boy's eyes. "How did you know?" he asked.
Sun Wukong smiled smugly, "I, Old Sun, am a man chosen by the Buddha, the eldest disciple of the Great Tang Monk. How could I not know this? Let me tell you, no one can help this pig demon. Only my master can subdue him."
Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang's expression changed. He grabbed Sun Wukong's arm and said, "Wukong, don't talk nonsense. Your master is just a mortal. How could I possibly subdue any pig demon?"
Sun Wukong laughed heartily and said, "Master, please don't be modest and refuse."
Seeing Sun Wukong's certainty, the boy said, "There is indeed a monster here, with a human body and a pig's head. It's probably a pig demon. That monster has taken over my great-grandfather's youngest daughter, and my great-grandfather specifically ordered me to come out and find a sorcerer to exorcise it."
Sun Wukong grinned and said to the boy, "Since that's the case, why don't you hurry up and lead the way, treat my master to good food and drink, and beg my master to exorcise the demon for you?"
Tang Sanzang, enraged, flicked his sleeve and turned away, shouting, "Nonsense! Nonsense!"
To everyone's surprise, the boy actually believed it.
Grandpa Gao asked him to find a Taoist priest to exorcise the demon. He searched for three or four monks and Taoist priests, but none of them could subdue the monster. This one in front of him might really be able to do it.
After all, someone who can be a master to a monkey demon must be even more skilled.
Moreover, Tang Sanzang himself had a kind and benevolent appearance, and dressed in a cassock, he looked like a highly enlightened monk.
Why don't we take them back and give it a try?
The young man cupped his hands in greeting, "Then please follow me, you two."
The boy led the way, while Sun Wukong led the horse and Tang Sanzang followed behind.
Along the way, Tang Sanzang kept complaining to Sun Wukong: "Wukong, how can you talk so carelessly? Your master is so weak that he can't even kill a chicken. When will I ever be able to exorcise demons? What should we do?"
Sun Wukong laughed nonchalantly, "Master, I was just thinking of letting you go to the manor to eat and drink well and rest properly. Besides, you haven't even seen this demon yet, how do you know you can't subdue it? Don't worry, I'm here for you."
Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang said no more.
Before long, they arrived at the gate of a grand manor. The young man went in first to announce their arrival, and soon an elderly man, well past sixty and with a worried expression, came out to greet them. It was none other than Grandfather Gao.
