Chapter 206 Wukong Beats People
Chapter 206 Wukong Beats People
I had just finished dealing with Hu Die when Daiyu came to urge me again.
"What?! Monkey King has come out from under the Five Fingers Mountain!" Lin Liuyi exclaimed in surprise. Has time really passed that fast?
"Host, the Journey to the West world is of course different from your world!" The system stated that the passage of time is different in each world.
If that's the case, wouldn't Monkey King have to wear the golden headband now that he's out here?
Lin Liuyi quickly went to check the plot. After Monkey King left the Five Finger Mountain, he first followed Tang Xuanzang to the house of the boy who brought him peaches. Then, while the two were walking, they encountered six thieves who wanted to steal his things. Monkey King killed them in a fit of anger. Then Tang Xuanzang was dissatisfied and encountered Guanyin disguised as an old woman. She turned the golden headband into a hat and tricked Monkey King into wearing it.
"Look at what Tang Sanzang is saying about Monkey King! He actually said that Monkey King caused trouble. Even though the other party was a bandit who robbed people on the road, he shouldn't be sentenced to death even if he were brought to justice. He even told Monkey King to just fight them off. Why did he kill him? He blamed Monkey King for killing people without cause, and said that he shouldn't be a monk. He even said that he, as a monk, 'sweep the floor for fear of hurting ants, and cherish moths by covering lamps with gauze.' He even complained that Monkey King didn't distinguish right from wrong and had no compassion or kindness! Doesn't he realize that the other party attacked first? If Monkey King hadn't fought back, Tang Sanzang would have been killed!" Daiyu spoke up for Monkey King.
"They even say that Monkey King was unruly, tyrannical, and deceitful of Heaven, which is why he suffered the calamity five hundred years ago. They say he can't go to the Western Paradise and can't be a monk! Humph, who would want to go there!"
Daiyu felt so sorry for the Great Sage. This Tang Sanzang was clearly a hypocrite. Why didn't he rush in when those bandits came to fight?
After Monkey King finished beating up the bandits, she came over and pretended to speak up for them. She said that Monkey King shouldn't have acted so early; he should have let Xuanzang suffer a bit.
Lin Liuyi comforted Daiyu, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. This is how the plot is. But can't we change it now?"
Daiyu's puffed-up face immediately relaxed. "That's right, I'll go teach the Great Sage right now!"
"Hey, wait a minute, we made the golden headband!"
Daiyu is too anxious. Lin Liu should go find the Great Sage too.
The story is currently showing the Great Sage chatting with an old man.
The old man asked, "Where will you meet me?"
Wukong immediately retorted, "When you were little, didn't you ever chop wood in front of me? Didn't you ever pick vegetables off my face?"
The old man shook his head in denial: "This scoundrel is talking nonsense! Where do you live? Where do I live? I'm here to gather firewood and pick vegetables in front of you!"
Wukong shook his head: "I'm not talking nonsense! You don't recognize me. I'm the monkey who was trapped under that rocky mountain. Take another look."
The old man then began to believe him: "You do resemble him somewhat, but how did you come to that conclusion?"
Wukong then recounted to the old man in detail how the Bodhisattva had advised him to do good and to wait for Tang Sanzang to remove the seal and escape.
The old man then invited the two inside, and immediately called his wife and children to come and meet them, chat with them, and had them serve tea.
Monkey King is no longer the mischievous monkey he used to be; he's become a well-mannered monkey now. Daiyu has repeatedly reminded him not to be impolite.
Therefore, after the old man's children met him, Monkey King gave them gifts one by one, which made the whole family so happy that they quickly declined.
After Monkey King persuaded them again, they finally accepted the gift and thanked him profusely.
Tang Sanzang, who was sitting to the side, was secretly thinking: when he rescued this wild monkey, he was only wearing a tiger-skin skirt. Where did he get these gifts from?
Little did they know, this was something Daiyu had specifically instructed the Great Sage to do after she had thoroughly read the plot. Daiyu was also quite grateful to the boy from back then. The Great Sage had been imprisoned under the mountain for so many years, and he was the only one who had ever given him peaches. Being good to the Great Sage was being good to her, Daiyu, and she had to remember this kindness.
The next morning, Wukong got up and asked his master to leave.
The family then warmly brought them water to wash their faces and a vegetarian meal, so the two had no choice but to finish the meal before leaving.
As they were walking, a whistle suddenly sounded from the roadside, and six men rushed out, each wielding a long spear, a short sword, a sharp blade, and a powerful bow. They shouted, "Hey monk! Where are you going! Leave your horse and luggage behind, or we'll spare your life!"
The monk was so frightened that he lost his mind, fell off his horse, and was speechless.
Wukong first helped Tang Sanzang up, then went forward to talk to these people.
Unexpectedly, one of them brandished a spear and sword, rushed forward, and began to hack wildly at Wukong's head, striking him seventy or eighty times.
Remembering Daiyu's instructions, Wukong rushed towards Tang Xuanzang, shouting, "Master, save me!"
Tang Xuanzang was already terrified and his legs went weak. Now that the thief was shouting and yelling, and Wukong was even hiding from him, he was even more frightened and retreated repeatedly.
At the same time, he also resented Wukong. Didn't Guanyin Bodhisattva say that this monkey could protect him?
And this monkey claimed he could defeat 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, so how come he can't even beat six bandits now?
The thief stabbed left and right with his wheel, and Tang Sanzang was forced to dodge in a sorry state.
"Master, what should we do?" Wukong dodged easily while pretending to be hit, making a lot of noise.
"Wukong, Wukong, please save your master!"
"Master, once I unleash my 36,000-jin golden cudgel, these people will be turned into mincemeat! Didn't you say that monks can't kill?" Wukong refused to make a move. He still remembered what Daiyu had told him about what Tang Sanzang had said to him.
"Wukong, monks are not allowed to kill, but these people are bandits who are blocking the road. They are full of sins. Killing them will help them wash away their sins!"
Just as the opponent's spear and sword were about to pierce him several times, Wukong pulled him back.
Faced with life and death, Tang Sanzang couldn't care about anything else and shouted to Wukong to kill them quickly!
When Wukong saw that Tang Sanzang had said so, he reached into his ear and pulled out an embroidery needle. With a flick of his wrist, it turned out to be an iron rod, as thick as a bowl.
He held it in his hand and said, "Don't go! Let Old Sun try his hand at hitting me with this stick too!"
The six thieves were so frightened that they scattered and fled, but he pulled them away, caught up with them, and killed them one by one.
Tang Sanzang finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground in a sorry state. At the same time, he resented Wukong for not taking out his weapon sooner, which had caused him so much anxiety.
"Master, I, Old Sun, have sent these men to their deaths with a single blow!" Wukong reported after defeating the bandits.
Tang Sanzang didn't speak, but silently got up and stood beside the corpses to chant sutras for their salvation.
Even Wukong was amused. Daiyu was absolutely right. Tang Sanzang was a shameless scoundrel. He was the one who made him kill the other party, yet he pretended to chant sutras to help them pass on after they died.
