The White Dragon Horse walked steadily on the official road. It was the first time that Tang Seng encountered such a mountain road, and it felt that it was not much different from the roads in Chang'an City.

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise ahead, so the master and his disciples went to see what was going on. They saw a group of demons repairing the road, tamping the ground vigorously. The group was not entirely made up of demons, but also a few human laborers. They ate from the same pot and drank from the same bowl of water, which made the four of them dumbfounded.

"Amitabha, Buddha said that all beings are equal. I just know the truth today." Tang Seng was filled with emotion and admired him even more. Although the lord of Qijue City was a monster, he must be a great sage of the world.

Zhu Bajie shook his head repeatedly: "Great, great! I am a very knowledgeable old pig, but I have never seen such a bustle!"

After watching the excitement, the four masters and apprentices continued to walk along the official road. The road was straight and flat, and they walked very fast. On the way, Tang Seng was hungry, so the monkeys went to beg for alms for him. The innkeeper saw that Tang Seng was handsome and invited him into the inn for a vegetarian meal. The white dragon horse was also brought into the inn and fed. Only the monkeys were unwilling to entertain him.

"No monster in Qi Jue Mountain, big or small, has ever gotten something for nothing. If you three want to have a hot meal at my place, you have to exchange it with money. Otherwise, I won't even give you the swill behind the store."

Sun Wukong was not angry after hearing this. He just felt that the Qijue Mountain was new and tight. He grabbed the sleeve of the shopkeeper and refused to let go: "Your shop is really interesting, but the three of us brothers are all monks. Where did the yellow and white things come from to give you?"

Sun Wukong pinched Zhu Bajie's ear and said, "You idiot, why don't you put a stone under your chest and I'll hit you with my golden cudgel, what do you think?"

Not only Tang Seng, but also his three brothers were amazed by what they saw. There were street vendors selling all kinds of snacks and delicacies, and the aroma was fragrant. Zhu Bajie's stomach was churning, and his saliva was all over the floor. He was dragged away by Sun Wukong holding his ear. As the sky gradually darkened, Tang Seng, with his handsome face, begged for alms in a hotel run by a female demon and got a room on the upper floor. Sun Wukong and his three brothers were not so lucky. There was a woodshed next to the stable, and the three of them made do with it.

The monkey was born to be an unruly creature. He grabbed a strand of monkey hair and turned it into small change. He took his two fellow apprentices to a big restaurant, slapped the silver on the table, and immediately enjoyed the meticulous VIP treatment.

It is forbidden to set up stalls anywhere in Qi Jue City. If you want to set up a stall, you can, but you have to pay for a license! Zhu Bajie: "Bullshit rules, this will not give me a way to survive! Brother Monkey, you have many brothers in the lower world, go and borrow some money, otherwise I will really starve to death."

The white dragon horse was fast, and after another half day, the master and his disciples finally arrived at Qijue City. They saw towering city walls, waving flags, demon soldiers in armor standing guard with spears in their hands, and the words "Qijue" were painted with iron and silver hooks above the city gate. It was a scene of a majestic city, not much worse than Chang'an City.

Zhu Bajie was dissatisfied and asked, "Why does the master have food, but we three brothers don't?"

"Master, don't panic. If you walk for another half a day, you will find plenty of jobs for laborers in the Qi Jue City. The bearded man and the pig-headed man are tall and strong, and can support themselves. It is not a problem for them to earn a meal. But that ugly monkey with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth has not a pound of meat on his body. No one wants him even if he works hard. If he has no other skills, he will probably starve to death." The shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly, questioning the monkey's ability to survive.

Sun Wukong was so angry that he laughed, and was about to show his skills. Tang Seng was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he stopped him hurriedly. After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, he continued to rush towards Qi Jue City.

Sun Wukong was very observant and heard the female demon offering herself to Tang Seng in his room. Tang Seng was so scared that he blocked the door and refused to let her in, saying that the female demon should respect herself and that he was a serious monk. The monkey was secretly happy and did not go to rescue her, pretending that nothing had happened.

The three men walked out of the woodshed and went straight to the street, intending to perform to make some money. However, before Sha Seng could put a stone slab under his chest, a team of patrolling demon soldiers drove them away.

The group passed by several villages on the way, and all of them were willing to entertain Tang Seng and ignored the three brothers. Zhu Bajie was almost starving to death.

The four men walked in the city leading their horses. Everything they saw seemed incredible. There were monsters and humans coming and going, all kinds of bizarre things. Tang Seng saw a woman bargaining with a wolf monster in a butcher's shop, and he felt that there were all kinds of wonders in the world.

"The master has a handsome face and is obviously a virtuous monk. I would like to treat him to a meal. The three of you are ugly, one more than the other. I am not willing to earn money for the meal!" This is a Journey to the West where looks matter. Tang Monk is handsome and can eat without spending money. The three monkeys are so ugly that the shopkeeper thinks they are too ugly.

"Brother Monkey is a man of justice. From now on, I, Old Pig, will beat anyone you decide to beat, without hesitation!"

Sun Wukong was speechless after hearing this. Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha also looked at each other in silence. Tang Monk called out the Buddha's name, "Excuse me, host. We have come from a far distance and have no money. Are my three disciples going to starve to death?"

Zhu Bajie really couldn't stand it anymore. He would feel uncomfortable all over if he didn't eat a meal. Coincidentally, there was a night market in Qijue City. The aroma of all kinds of food filled his nose. He couldn't bear it any longer and dragged Sun Wukong and Sha Seng out to find food.

Sun Wukong's face turned dark. Where could he find his brothers now? He pinched Zhu Bajie's ears and pulled them hard, causing the latter to scream in pain.

Tang Seng shook his head and said, "You three, don't cause trouble after entering the city. I have seen that although the laws in this city are strict, they are all reasonable and well-founded. The city lord governs the city according to the law, and is impartial to both humans and monsters. He is like Guan Yiwu reincarnated. If you are hungry, then go and work to earn some money, and don't do those despicable things like stealing chickens and dogs."

Zhu Bajie couldn't wait any longer, so he ordered a large table of food and started to eat. Tang Monk was not there, Sun Wukong was full of worries, and Sha Monk couldn't even fart when he was beaten with three sticks. Zhu Bajie ordered beef and roast chicken, but no one cared about him.

Sha Monk: "Second Brother, what you said is absolutely right!"

"Fool, you are the one who eats the most. Now you are telling me all this. I am here to support you. What are you afraid of?"

Zhu Bajie was so hungry that he didn't listen to these words. He pulled the white dragon horse into the city. The four people were outsiders, so they registered at the city gate and were allowed to pass with their ID cards. The white dragon horse also had a stamp on its big white butt.

Zhu Bajie hadn't eaten so well in a long time. He ate from two large tables of food before he was only 80% full. When Sun Wukong said that there was not enough silver, he stopped and ordered a few baskets of steamed buns, which he swallowed with the oil on the plates.

Tang Monk clapped his hands and praised: "What a great city! Since I left the Tang Dynasty and traveled west, this is the most magnificent city I have come across."

Zhu Bajie patted his belly and said, "Brother Monkey, we won't be discovered, will we?"

According to Tang Seng's previous experience, the wolf demon should have captured the woman, chopped her into pieces, taken out her heart, liver and spleen, and then hung them in front of the butcher's shop to sell. But now, the wolf demon had a mercenary face, and the woman bargained with him, but she couldn't win the argument.

"Forget it, Brother Monkey, your mourning stick weighs more than 10,000 pounds. If you really want to knock it down, I'm afraid I'll go straight to see the Buddha."

Sha Monk: "Big Brother, what you said is absolutely right!"

"You idiot, we have no money, where can we get food?" Sun Wukong teased. He knew that there were some small silver coins stuffed in Bajie's ears, which were hidden away when they raided the demon cave earlier.

Zhu Bajie's train of thought was completely different from Tang Seng's. Looking at the majestic Qijue City, he was full of jealousy and pulled Sha Seng to envy, "The demon king of Qijue City is really wealthy and powerful. If I had this kind of family property, Old Master Gao would definitely rush to marry Cuilan to me... No, if I had this kind of family property, why would I need Gao Cuilan? I would have as many Ma Cuilan and Wang Cuilan as I want."

Zhu Bajie snorted twice and said, "If you don't have money, go earn it. Monkey brother, you can play with a stick, and Junior Brother Sha can show how to break a rock with his chest. I'll cheer for you, and the money will come."

Sha Seng didn't say anything. It was Wuneng who wanted to eat, and it was Wukong who paid. It had nothing to do with Wujing!

The shopkeeper couldn't get away and said angrily, "That's your business, what does it have to do with me? What's wrong with monks? Monks have to pay for their meals. We have to follow the rules in Qi Jue Mountain."

Tang Seng didn't hear Zhu Bajie's nonsense, dismounted from his white dragon horse and came to the city gate. On the huge city wall, the laws of Qi Jue City were engraved in black and white. Although the rules were harsh and strict, in Tang Seng's eyes, all beings were equal, because no matter whether they were human or demon, whether they lived here for a long time or were outsiders, they were all managed in a unified way.

After the three of them finished eating and drinking, they still had some extra money when they paid the bill, so the store owner gave them some change, which Zhu Bajie happily accepted.

Woodshed.

Zhu Bajie lay on the firewood and burped with an oily burp: "This meal is worth it. I'll talk to Master tomorrow and we'll stay in the city for two more days!"

Sun Wukong trembled when he heard this. The monkey hair that turned into silver could only last for one day at most. It would be exposed by this time tomorrow. But it didn't matter. It was no big deal. He had eaten the free meal at the Peach Festival. What else could the mortal restaurant do to him?
