The Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, extrely dangerous, is at the center of the great calamity between heaven and earth. If it weren't for a lack of options, the Sai Golden Fur Roar would never have agreed to co and face this ordeal.
How is the script for this ordeal written? Kidnap Empress of Jinsheng Palace myself, and then wait for Xuanzang and his party to seek the King of Zhuzi Country in exchange for the Travel Permit Plaque. Upon learning about this matter, they would co to the rescue.
I'll pretend to resist a little, then admit defeat, and let Xuanzang and the others take the person away.
Add an ordeal, complete the task, and imdiately return to the Purple Bamboo Forest.
However, what Sai Golden Fur Roar hadn't anticipated was that a Little Demon under his command actually captured Xuanzang, which truly gave him quite the shock.
It's true, if Tang Monk were kept in the cave residence, waiting for Sun Wukong and the others to co and rescue, this might count as another difficulty.
If the task is exceeded, the Bodhisattva will surely have an additional reward for .
But this kind of reward that gambles with one's life, I would rather not have it, so let's quickly send the person away.
Following Sai Golden Fur Roar's words, the cave residence was quickly cleaned up, and at the end, a large chunk of sandalwood was even used to fumigate the cave residence thoroughly. Only then did Sai Golden Fur Roar feel sowhat relieved.
Feeling that he had been drenched in cold sweat, Sai Golden Fur Roar followed up with a bath and a change of clothes.
Xuanzang and his party have already arrived at Zhuzi Country. It seems that their quest to rescue Empress of Jinsheng Palace won't be far off, so I must also prepare early.
...
"Master Xuanzang, have a smooth journey!"
At the foot of Qilin Mountain, following Sai Golden Fur Roar's orders, two Little Demons directly brought Jiang Liu to the foot of the mountain. They also left behind a box filled with gold and jade jewelry before turning away and leaving.
"Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?"
Turning around to look at the receding figures of the two Little Demons, Jiang Liu wore a confused expression, muttering to himself in his heart.
This Sai Golden Fur Roar really is different from the others!
The Great King Gold-Horn and Great King Silver-Horn of the past, although they were also eager to hurry away, couldn't show it and could only desperately plead with to leave.
It was the sa with Ancestor Huangi!
So, taking them as a warning, even though I'd been captured and had even revealed my identity, wouldn't Sai Golden Fur Roar, desperate to have leave, find himself in a difficult position?
However, what Jiang Liu hadn't expected was that Sai Golden Fur Roar would really just stop caring altogether, giving a box of gold and jade jewelry as compensation, then sending on my way?
Throughout the journey, my actions have been unconventional, is Sai Golden Fur Roar also acting out of the ordinary?
"No wonder then, no wonder the system's reward for this task is so generous. It's because this Sai Golden Fur Roar cannot be judged by common sense!"
After pondering for a mont, Jiang Liu couldn't help but sigh helplessly, then imdiately shook his head and left Qilin Mountain.
What can I do? They've already issued the order to expel and sent on my way. Could I still have the shalessness to stay?
...
"Master, how did it go? Have you discovered any information?"
After returning to the King of Zhuzi Country, Sun Wukong and the others gathered around, curiously asking Jiang Liu.
"I haven't discovered any useful information!" Facing the inquisitive looks of Sun Wukong and the others, Jiang Liu shook his head and replied.
"You can't be serious? Even you, Master, haven't discovered any useful information!?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie widened his pig eyes, disbelief in his voice.
"Yes, with Master's wisdom and thods, and still not uncovering any useful information, this Sai Golden Fur Roar is indeed tough to deal with. Master's previous conjecture was not wrong; this task is truly not easy to complete. Master is indeed marvelously prescient!" After Zhu Bajie spoke, Sha Wujing also chid in.
Not saying there was a lack in Master's ability, but instead suggesting that Sai Golden Fur Roar was tougher, and by bringing up Master's previous statent that the task would be difficult to complete, Sha Wujing was flattering Jiang Liu once again.
"Yes, yes, Wujing is right. Even if you usually don't talk much, when you do, your words carry weight!" Hearing Sha Wujing's words, satisfaction appeared on Jiang Liu's face as he nodded in approval.
To say that Sha Wujing is normally reticent, as in the original story—that's true indeed.
But to really say he's honest and simple-hearted? Jiang Liu was now the first to disbelieve that.
Claiming to be Master's top subordinate, ordinarily, wasn't it him who would sing Master's praises? But now, Junior Brother Sha has actually done better?
Zhu Bajie grew anxious, quickly speaking up and nodding to show his presence: "Yes, yes, Master, you certainly are marvelously prescient!"
"Alright, enough of that. The pressing matter at hand is to think of a way to rescue Empress of Jinsheng Palace!" With a wave of his hand, saying the sa thing a second ti wouldn't be very aningful, Jiang Liu cut off Zhu Bajie.
"Master, if you have any plans, just command us and that will be enough!" Following Jiang Liu's remark, Sun Wukong looked too lazy to put any thought into the matter, gesturing dismissively as he spoke.
As long as Master has made up his mind, whatever task he assigns will do, no need for discussion.
"Exactly, Brother Monkey is right, whatever it is, just order us, and we'll get it done!" Zhu Bajie nodded along, eagerly adding his voice.
"Well, at first, I felt that this task would not be easy to complete, so I didn't want to startle the quarry. I wanted to gather clear information, to know both the enemy and myself, ensuring victory in every battle," Jiang Liu explained.
"But now, there's no use in trying to gather more information. So, let's make a move first and test the waters," he concluded.
"So, does Master an that we should take action right now?"
Those strategies and reasoning were of no interest to Sun Wukong; he only caught one thing – that they were going to take action. That was what Sun Wukong cared about the most.
"Indeed, that's correct," replied Jiang Liu with a nod upon hearing Sun Wukong's words.
"Then that's great, I, Old Sun, will set out at once!" Sun Wukong, unable to wait any longer after getting Jiang Liu's affirmation, quickly got to his feet and said.
"Hmm, let's go!" Seeing Sun Wukong's eagerness, Jiang Liu pondered for a mont before nodding in agreent.
As the saying goes, "think before you act," but once you've thought it through, further deliberation is pointless!
If a careful decision has been made to take action, then speed is of the essence—it's ti to move without further ado.
Without wasting words, Sun Wukong took the lead and flew up first.
Then, Jiang Liu, Zhu Bajie, and the others also started to move, flying again towards the direction of Qilin Mountain.
...
"Great King, Great King, sothing terrible has happened!"
At Qilin Mountain, after cleaning the cave dwelling, lighting the incense, and having taken a bath and changed clothes, Saitaisui was preparing to take a good sleep to calm his recent fright. However, a Little Demon rushed over hastily and began shouting at Saitaisui.
"What's wrong now!?" Alard by his subordinate's cry, Saitaisui's heart skipped a beat as he sat up and asked urgently.
"That, that Tang Monk, he's co back!" blurted the Little Demon in a rush.
"What? The Tang Monk has co back? What does he want this ti?" Saitaisui's face fell upon hearing this.
"It seems, it seems they bear ill will because, aside from him, there's a green-faced, fierce-toothed mber of the Demon Clan, a man-bodied Pig Demon, and oh, there's also an inconspicuous little monkey..." replied the Little Demon swiftly.
Relative to the others, the large forms of Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie attracted the most attention. Since Sun Wukong was short and thin, he was the easiest to overlook.
"It's over..."
Hearing the Little Demon's report, not only had the Tang Monk returned, but he had also brought his three disciples, and they bore malice. Saitaisui's face turned as pale as paper, looking utterly dreadful.
Could it be true?
To deal with him, had the Tang Monk brought all three of his disciples?
Was such ruthlessness necessary?
"Great King, Great King, what do we do now?" Seeing Saitaisui's panic, the underling Little Demon was even more at a loss.
"You, you go and stall them; I, I'm going to escape!" Without the intention to say much, Saitaisui's first instinct was to turn and flee for his life.
However, just as he turned, a thought struck Saitaisui.
No, I can't go!
The mission Bodhisattva Guanyin had given him was still incomplete. If he just ran away, wouldn't his trip have been in vain?
"Don't be scared, don't be afraid. You haven't done anything wrong yet, they won't kill you!"
"Besides, you borrowed many Dharma Treasures from the Bodhisattva when you ca; you should be able to protect yourself!"
"Lastly, and most importantly, if you find you can't win in the end, show them the Bodhisattva's na right away. They should give face to Bodhisattva Guanyin! After all, it's said that Master Xuanzang greatly respects Bodhisattva Guanyin!"
"You've got this, don't be afraid, Golden Hair Roar!"
Murmuring to himself in his heart, he kept bolstering his courage.
Seemingly, real bravery began to bloom within him.
"My minions, do not fear; join your King, and together we shall et the enemy!"
Raising his hand to grab a shield, Golden Hair Roar shouted with gusto.
As his voice fell, the slightly trembling Golden Hair Roar took a step forward and walked out of the cave dwelling.
Outside the cave.
Jiang Liu sat astride the White Dragon Horse, with Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing standing on either side of him.
At the cave dwelling, a series of little demons filed out.
Lastly, Golden Hair Roar holding the shield walked out.
"Master Xuanzang, you have returned. What does this an?" While everyone else's eyes were on Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, Golden Hair Roar looked warily at Sun Wukong and asked Jiang Liu.
"Amitabha, today I have co at the behest of the King of Zhuzi Country, to rescue the Empress of Jinsheng Palace and return her!"
