Chapter 509: The Promise With the Great Sage!
Sun Wukong immediately stopped Achieving Immortal, who then bowed respectfully, "I have met the Great Sage. I am a wandering cultivator."
"Upon seeing the Black Bear Demon taking your master away, I hid here. My purpose is twofold: to protect your master and to assist the Great Sage once more."
"Your master is safe. Please follow the Great Sage."
The Black Bear Demon’s pupils dilated, desperately reaching out but unable to make any sound as if his throat was being pricked by needles.
"Ah… ugh… Ling… Xu… ugh…"
。。。
Arrived inside the cave.
Monk Tang woke up from his coma.
Seeing Achieving Immortal in an instant, Monk Tang was so scared that he rolled back in fear.
"No, please don’t eat me…"
Monk Tang cried and shouted, but suddenly saw Sun Wukong, "Wukong, Wukong, please save me, he’s a monster!"
Sun Wukong looked at the man beside him, and surprisingly, he wasn’t a monster.
He was purely a very innocent man.
Lingxuzi bowed, "Since the Great Sage has found your master, then I will take my leave."
Sun Wukong didn’t bother with him, and Achieving Immortal left.
After that, Sun Wukong took Monk Tang to Guanyin Buddhist Hall first, while on the other side, Guanyin Bodhisattva subdued the White Dragon and turned it into a white horse, then ran to Guanyin Buddhist Hall by herself.
Later, Monk Tang became more determined.
He started scolding Sun Wukong, venting his grievances indirectly, saying that Sun Wukong only arrived now.
He questioned Sun Wukong’s abilities, asking why it took him so long to defeat a dragon if he has the skills to subdue powerful creatures.
Sun Wukong knew Monk Tang’s personality well, that he was stubborn. Despite being constrained by the tight headband, Sun Wukong could only listen and consider it nonsense.
After Monk Tang finished scolding, he glanced at his luggage and realized that the cassock given to him by Guanyin was missing.
This made Monk Tang start complaining again.
。。。
On the other side, Brother Achieving Immortal waved the shiny golden cassock in front of everyone.
"How about this, found it by chance."
Fang Ze looked at the robe and suddenly smiled, "I guess Monk Tang might be in a hurry, let’s make it harder for him. Here, let’s add another challenge for Monk Tang."
"This challenge is called, ‘wolf demon stealing robes’."
"Black Blade, it’s your turn this time."
Black Blade took the robe and said, "The monkey can’t beat me."
That’s for sure.
Not to mention whether the monkey can beat him, just his ability to disappear into thin air, the monkey is helpless.
Black Blade’s strength can be compared to Erlang Lord.
"If the monkey can’t win, he will naturally call for reinforcements, you don’t have to worry about that."
。。。
On the other hand, Sun Wukong went to Black Wind Mountain again to see if the cassock had been taken by Black Bear Demon.
As a result, Guanyin suddenly appeared and took away Black Bear Demon.
The cassock was not in his hands either, Sun Wukong didn’t know where to find it, so he went to ask the Bodhisattva.
The Bodhisattva said, "I don’t know either," so Sun Wukong became frustrated.
Day by day, he had to do all the dirty and tiring work, the people below ate plain rice, and so did the people above.
In the end, all the blame fell on him.
Just as Sun Wukong was about to act mischievously, Ye Qiu appeared again.
He appeared on a stubborn rock on Black Wind Mountain, and Sun Wukong quickly asked him, "Could you help me take off this golden hoop?"
Ye Qiu shook his head and said, "Great Sage, I can remove this golden hoop, but not right now."
"There are countless pairs of eyes watching us from above. If I take off the golden hoop now, they will find a way to put a second, third one on you."
"I did warn Great Sage beforehand. Since you are still affected, there is nothing I can do at the moment."
"Why not let Great Sage take Monk Tang to the west to cultivate virtue and merit?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong sat down on a rock and exclaimed, "No, no! Monk Tang creates so much mess with his bodily functions and makes me do all the dirty and tiring work every day. In the end, I still have to endure his scolding!"
"All for the sake of cultivating virtue and merit?"
With a faint smile, Ye Qiu said, "Great Sage, listen to me. If you do not take Monk Tang to the west, I cannot remove this golden hoop for you."
"Therefore, if you take Monk Tang to the west, I will remove the golden hoop for you."
Sun Wukong became enraged, "If I truly take him to the west and you do not help, I will seek the Bodhisattva’s assistance in removing this golden hoop myself."
Ye Qiu sighed, "The world changes unpredictably, and people’s hearts are hard to predict. Can the Great Sage guarantee that the Bodhisattva will definitely help you take off this golden hoop?"
"It’s better to say that if you cooperate with me, even if the Bodhisattva doesn’t take off the golden hoop for you, I will provide an extra safeguard."
"On the way, I can also offer guidance to the Great Sage and show him the way forward."
"Is the Great Sage looking for a kasaya?"
"I know where the kasaya is currently located."
When the monkey heard this, his brows furrowed instantly. "Who are you, actions speak louder than words, what is your intention in treating me, Sun Wukong, like this?"
Ye Qiu replied, "I want the scriptures. When the Great Sage takes off the golden hoop, I will make a move to snatch the scriptures."
"At that time, I hope the Great Sage will turn a blind eye. What do you think?"
Sun Wukong thought for a moment, "Then it’s settled. But first, tell me, where is the kasaya now?"
"One day, the person who took away your master was not the Black Bear Demon, but a wolf demon. He kidnapped your master and gave him to the Black Bear Demon. He also took the robe to show to other demons. Great Sage will encounter this on his journey west." Ye Qiu said as his figure turned into white smoke and disappeared.
Why did Ye Qiu remind Sun Wukong several times?
This is their plan B.
From the beginning of sowing discord to eventually allowing the deified Sun Wukong to turn a blind eye and let them steal the scriptures.
Won’t this indirect approach be more convenient than a direct confrontation?
After that, Sun Wukong returned to the Guanyin Buddhist Hall and told Monk Tang to continue westward as he had information about the robe.
Monk Tang grumbled while setting off, complaining about the White Dragon Horse not having a saddle, making the ride uncomfortable.
In this way, after several days traveling westward, they suddenly caught a small demon.
From the mouth of the small demon, they obtained some information.
"Heard that half a month ago, a big monster suddenly appeared here at Shadowless Mountain’s Fallen Moon Cave, calling himself Black Blade Ancestor, with very high level of skills!"
"And just a few days ago, this Black Blade Ancestor summoned monsters from all over the world, saying he wanted to hold some kind of ceremony to appreciate a robe, that’s all I know…"
Ceremony?
Sun Wukong directly killed the little monster with one stick, then transformed into the appearance of the little monster and went to Fallen Moon Cave at Shadowless Mountain.
Shadowless Mountain has steep terrain, with no shadows in the sunlight and no trace of the moonset, making it difficult to find at night.
Taking advantage of dusk, Sun Wukong found the Fallen Moon Cave.
He saw monsters from all over gathering, and Monk Tang’s robe was hanging on the cave’s wall.
Sun Wukong went straight to snatch it.
And just then, a loud voice suddenly resonated in the cave!
"You, seeking death."
。。。
