The monkey stood up with all his strength and summoned the somersault cloud to his feet.
Then he tried harder to fly.
.....failed.
He panted heavily, feeling that even being pressed by the Five Finger Mountain was not as tiring as this:
"Master, you are so heavy that I, Old Sun, cannot carry you."
Chu Qi came down and said strangely:
"Maybe the teacher has gained weight."
Wukong pinched Tang Seng's soft arm and said, "You've gained weight, you must have gained weight."
He spoke with certainty, but he had other ideas in his mind.
Even the Five Finger Mountain couldn’t crush him, so how could he not be able to carry Tang Seng?
Thinking of all the strange things that happened before, Wukong couldn't help but secretly guess that maybe it was because of Tathagata's manipulation.
The purpose was to allow Tang Seng to complete the journey on foot.
Isn't this just trying to tire Tang Seng to death?
What a vicious heart! Wukong understood.
However, even though he had realized the truth, he was still very harsh in his words and teased Tang Seng:
"Master, please don't eat too much in the future. You're so fat that I can't even carry you."
Chu Qi pretended to be unhappy and said, "Master has eaten very little. The karma you have created is not enough to fill the gaps in my teeth."
Monkey: "Master, you have a big gap between your teeth."
*
The master and disciple were still pondering on their own, and the guardian hiding in the dark couldn't stand it anymore.
"Don't be angry, Sun Dasheng, and don't be sad, Brother Tang Yu. We are immortals sent by Guanyin Bodhisattva to secretly protect those who are seeking scriptures."
After hearing this, Chu Qi immediately pretended to be respectful and bowed.
Wukong said, "Who are you? Tell me your names quickly so I can count them."
The voice in the air replied:
"We are the Six Dings, Six Jias, the Five Jiedis, the Four Valued Officials, and the eighteen guardians of the Dharma. Each of us takes turns to be on duty and await orders."
Hearing this, Chu Qi couldn't help but think to himself, with so many people taking turns to guard, yet in the original novel Tang Seng was still captured repeatedly, your class is really incompetent.
Wukong asked, "Who's on duty today?"
Jieti: "It is Ding, Jia, Gongcao and Jialan. We are the Five Jieti. Only the Golden-headed Jieti never leaves our side."
Wukong: "In that case, those who are not on duty should withdraw. Leave the Six Ding Generals, the Daily Officers and the Jiedis here to protect my master. I will go find the Karma Dragon in the water and ask it to return the horse to us."
The gods obeyed.
Chu Qi found a flat stone nearby and sat down, and warned Wukong: "Wukong, be careful."
Sun Wukong waved his hand, "Master, just rest assured."
After saying this, he tied up his cotton robe, lifted up his tiger-skin skirt, took the golden hoop, and with all his strength, flew straight to the top of the Eagle Sorrow Stream. In the midst of half cloud and half fog, he shouted loudly on the water:
"Stinky loach, give me back my horse."
The dragon ate Sanzang's white horse and was hiding under the water to recuperate.
Not long after, he heard the powerful monkey yelling and calling him the Third Prince of the Dragon a lowly loach. Unable to suppress his anger, he quickly jumped onto the shore and said, "Who are you? How dare you curse me with nonsense here?"
When the monkey saw the evil dragon appear, he shouted, "Don't run away, give me back my horse!" and swung his golden cudgel to hit the dragon on the head.
Bailong had suffered at the hands of a monkey before, and when he saw the monkey coming to attack him, he immediately turned around and dived back into the water.
This time, no matter how the monkey scolded him, he would not come out. He was determined to be a coward.
Sun Wukong had no choice but to go back and tell Tang Seng:
"Master, I scolded the evil dragon and it came out at first, but before I could do anything, it fled back into the water and never came out again. I am stronger on land, but my ability is greatly reduced underwater, so I didn't chase it. I don't think the horse will come back."
Moreover, the cold pond was obviously the lair of the evil dragon. Wukong didn't like to go into the water, and he didn't want to go down to fight even more.
"What should I do? I'm afraid my strength won't allow me to reach the West."
Chu Qi sighed, "It's better not to go."
When the gods who were protecting in secret heard that Tang Seng was about to retreat, they were shocked and immediately sent someone to tell the Bodhisattva about it.
Although the Bodhisattva had retired after giving the hat, there were still many places where he could be used along the way, so returning to the West could only be considered a simple rest and could not be considered a liberation.
One day in heaven is one year on earth.
The Bodhisattva had just returned to his own Mount Putuo and had not yet sat down when he heard the report from the Six Dings.
The Bodhisattva was still sulking. This kind of thing should have been asked by Wukong, but now someone else got there first.
But no matter how angry he was, he had no choice but to go and help.
*
The White Dragon Horse incident was eventually settled by the Bodhisattva himself.
Chu Qi’s mount adds 1 White Dragon Horse.
In the 14th year of Zhenguan, he passed through the Xifanha Kingdom and arrived at the Guanyin Temple. The abbot of the temple coveted Tang Monk's luxurious robes, so he deliberately burned the temple and stole the robes in the chaos. Unexpectedly, the black bear demon in the Black Wind Cave also took a fancy to the golden robes and directly snatched them away by force.
Wukong found the Black Wind Cave and fought the Black Bear Demon to a draw.
Goku hummed back.
Seeing that he had nothing in his hands, Chu Qi took the initiative to speak:
"You didn't bring it back?"
"No. I don't know what tricks that black bear used, but he was so powerful that I, Old Sun, could only fight him to a draw."
"What should I do? I don't even have the golden robes bestowed by the Bodhisattva. Even if I go to the West, I won't be able to face the Buddha. Why don't we just go back home now?"
Chu Qi suggested.
Wukong rolled his eyes and said, "Very good, very good, Master. You go back to the Tang Dynasty and I will go back to Huaguo Mountain!"
The guardian deity in the dark will: "...Go and ask the Bodhisattva for help!"
The Bodhisattva, who had just returned to Putuo Mountain and sat down for a while, was called up again.
