I am a fairy in Journey to the West

The next day, Sun Wukong opened his eyes, and Xiao Bailong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng walked into the room.

Before Zhu Bajie even entered the house, he asked, "Brother Monkey, does your head still hurt?"

Sun Wukong sat on the couch, holding his forehead and said, "It only hurt for a while last night, and now it's not painful or numb, just a little itchy."

Zhu Bajie laughed and said, "Since it's itchy, how about asking her to prick it again?"

Sun Wukong spat upon hearing this: "Let go, let go, let go."

Zhu Bajie said, "Let it go, let it go. My master has been having a wild night."

Sha Monk said, "Stop arguing and go catch the monster and save Master."

Sun Wukong said to Sha Seng, "Brother, please stay here and watch over the ceremony. My second junior brother and Bajie will come with me."

Sha Seng nodded and said, "Okay, Big Brother, go ahead. I'll take care of everything here."

Little White Dragon said bitterly: "It was the female demon queen of the Western Liang Women's Country who gave us half of our power. Otherwise, how could we allow the demons of the Poisonous Enemy Mountain to run rampant?"

Sun Wukong said: "She also gave me half of the golden hoop. I will settle this account later. Why hasn't the monster made any trouble recently?"

Little White Dragon, Pigsy and Monk Sha looked at each other, and then Pigsy said, "It's really strange. Why hasn't the monster been making trouble these past two days?"

Sha Monk said, "Master has been captured by the monster in Dudi Mountain, why is she still making such a fuss? Maybe she is even jealous of the monster in Pipa Cave."

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "If I wasn't afraid of delaying my journey to obtain the scriptures, I would really like to see Master in all his glory."

Xiao Bailong said, "Big Brother, let's hurry to Pipa Cave to rescue Master. If we go too late, something bad might happen."

When Sun Wukong heard this, he remembered the Scorpion Demon's appearance when he tempted Tang Monk, and he immediately got off the couch and said, "Let's go."

As they were talking, the three brothers opened the door, said goodbye to Sha Seng, took off into the clouds and flew towards the Dudi Mountain, and soon arrived outside the Pipa Cave again.

Standing outside the cave, Sun Wukong said, "Two brothers, please wait here for a while. I am afraid that the monster hurt Master last night. Let me go in and investigate. If it is true that he was fooled by the monster and lost his vitality, it would be a loss of virtue. Then we can all go our separate ways. If you are not upset and your mind is not shaken, then we should work hard to hold on, kill the monster, and rescue Master to the west."

After saying this, Sun Wukong transformed himself into a bee and flew into the cave.

After entering the cave and searching for a while, they saw Tang Seng tied to a pillar under the corridor with a rope. It turned out that the Scorpion Demon saw that Tang Seng was protected by the colorful robe and he could not get him. In a rage, he used his magic power to tie Tang Seng to the pillar with a rope.

Sun Wukong landed lightly on top of Tang Seng's head and called out, "Master, Master."

When Tang Seng heard the voice, he quickly looked up and called out, "Wukong, is that you?"

"It's me." Sun Wukong replied, "Speak softly, Master, or the monster might notice you."

Tang Seng quickly glanced towards the incense house where the Scorpion Demon was sleeping not far away, then nodded and stopped talking.

At this time, Sun Wukong asked: "Master, how was the good thing last night?"

When Tang Seng heard this, he knew that Sun Wukong had doubts in his heart, and he quickly said, "I would rather die than do this."

Sun Wukong said: "Yesterday I saw that she had feelings of sympathy and love for you, but why did she frustrate you like this today?"

Tang Seng sighed and said, "Wukong, you don't know that after you fought her out yesterday, Lingtai Zhenjun appeared in the cave."

"Oh?!" Sun Wukong was startled when he heard this, "Master said that my uncle has been here?"

Tang Seng said: "I have been here before, and she also gave me a colorful robe. As long as I put on this fairy robe, the monster can't touch my body. She pestered me for half the night, and when she saw that I refused to obey, she got angry and tied me up here."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong hurriedly looked under Tang Seng's cassock, and indeed saw a colorful fairy robe underneath.

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "I'm afraid that this will ruin Master's good deeds."

Tang Seng said, "Wukong, what do you think of me? Even if the monster tempted me with his body, I would not be tempted at all. Besides, I have the immortal robe given by Lingtai Zhenjun. Do you still doubt me?"

"No, no." Sun Wukong said quickly, "I was just joking with Master."

Then Sun Wukong asked again: "Master, since my uncle appeared here, why didn't he save you?"

Tang Seng said, "It is the master and disciple's job to obtain the scriptures. It is very kind of Lingtai Zhenjun to help me. How dare you ask for such extravagant things? Wukong, please help me obtain the scriptures."

The questioning and answering between master and disciple had already woken up the Scorpion Spirit over there, but she was still reluctant to leave Tang Monk, so she pretended not to know.

At this moment, she only heard the words "Let's go to get the scriptures", and she immediately became furious. She jumped out of bed and shouted loudly: "Why don't you be a good couple and go to get scriptures!"

Sun Wukong panicked immediately, and quickly left Tang Seng behind, spread his wings and flew out, revealing himself and shouting, "Xiaobai, Bajie."

Xiao Bailong and Zhu Bajie turned around the stone screen, and when they got close, Zhu Bajie asked, "Is the job done?"

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "No, Master was teased for half the night, but he was not tempted. Moreover, when the monster was fighting with us yesterday, Lingtai Zhenjun appeared in the cave and gave Master a colorful cloud robe to protect himself. Therefore, the monster did not succeed and was angry and tied Master under the corridor. I was talking to Master just now and woke up the monster, so I panicked and came out."

When Xiao Bailong heard this, he was relieved and said, "It's good that it didn't work out."

"Since we have the protection of Lingtai Zhenjun's celestial robe, we can fight the monster without worry." As he said that, Zhu Bajie raised his rake, stepped forward and raked hard. There was a loud 'boom' that shook the earth and the sky. The first cave door was immediately smashed to pieces by Zhu Bajie's rake.

The little maid in the cave hurriedly reported to the Scorpion Spirit, saying, "Grandma, those three ugly men from yesterday are here again and have broken down the front door."

Upon hearing this, the Scorpion Demon hurriedly shouted, "Men! Quickly make some soup, wash your face, and put on your makeup!" He then said, "Carry my brother and the rope to the back room, and I will beat them up!"

The Scorpion Demon washed his face and put on his makeup, then came out of the cave holding a three-pronged steel fork. When he saw Sun Wukong and his companions, he cursed, "You naughty monkey, loach, and wild boar, how dare you come here and cause trouble and destroy our gate?"

Zhu Bajie raised his rake and cursed: "You lewd bastard, you have no sense of shame in abducting my master. Send him out quickly and I will spare you. Otherwise, I will beat you with my rake until the whole mountain collapses."

The Scorpion Demon braced himself, raised his fork and rushed forward, puffing out smoke, and brandished the steel fork to hit Zhu Bajie.

Sun Wukong used a stick and Xiao Bailong used a sword, and the two stepped forward to help.

I don't know how many rounds they had fought, but when the Scorpion Demon saw that they were outnumbered, he immediately used his poisonous horse-falling stake and stabbed Zhu Bajie in the mouth.

Zhu Bajie screamed in pain, unable to bear it any more. He immediately held the rake, covered his mouth, and ran away in defeat.

Then the Scorpion Demon changed direction and fought with Sun Wukong and Xiao Bailong for several rounds, covering himself from both sides and taking advantage of Xiao Bailong's unpreparedness to stab him under the horn.

Little White Dragon also screamed in pain, feeling the pain as if a saw had cramped, and retreated with the Fire Sword dragging behind him. Seeing that Zhu Bajie and Little White Dragon were both stabbed, Sun Wukong, who had experienced such pain before, felt weak for a moment, and made a sure-hit move, stabbing the Scorpion Demon in the waist with his stick.

The Scorpion Demon screamed in pain and Sun Wukong took the opportunity to escape. The Scorpion Demon turned around and stabbed but missed. He only felt pain in his waist, as if there was a big swelling. He cursed Sun Wukong a few words and then dragged his body back to the cave.

Sun Wukong retreated down the mountain and saw Zhu Bajie and Xiao Bailong lying on the ground, one covering his mouth and the other covering the base of his dragon horn, both groaning in pain.

Sun Wukong walked forward, looked at Zhu Bajie and said with a smile: "Just now you asked me to stab you again, and now your mouth is swollen too."

Zhu Bajie groaned, "It's unbearable, it hurts so much, it's so painful!"

As they were talking, Xiao Bailong saw an old lady coming up the mountain road ahead. She was carrying a green bamboo basket in her left hand and was picking vegetables from the Nanshan Road.

Little White Dragon said, "Big Brother, the mother is coming this way. I will go ask her what kind of monster is in this mountain and what weapon it uses so that I can subdue it."

Sun Wukong took a look at what he said and said, "Second Junior Brother, just sit down and have a rest. I will go and ask you."

As he spoke, Sun Wukong walked up to the old lady. He used his flaming eyes to take a look and saw that the old lady had auspicious clouds above her head and her body was covered in golden light.

Sun Wukong recognized her immediately and turned around and shouted, "Brothers, go and kowtow to her. This mother is a Bodhisattva."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bailong and Zhu Bajie stood up and walked forward, enduring the pain. They came to the mother, bowed and kowtowed, saying, "Namo the Greatly Compassionate and Merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva, who saves the suffering and the distressed."

When the Bodhisattva saw that they recognized Yuan Guang, he immediately flew into the air on a cloud and revealed his true form, which turned out to be an image of a fish basket.

Sun Wukong flew forward and bowed, saying, "Bodhisattva, please forgive me for failing to welcome you! We tried so hard to save our master, but we didn't know the Bodhisattva had descended. Now we are in trouble with the devil, so I hope the Bodhisattva can save us!"

The Bodhisattva laughed and said, "This demon is very powerful. Her three-pronged fork is actually two pincers. The thing that hurts is the hook on her tail, which is called horse poison. She is actually a scorpion demon. She had been listening to Buddha's lectures in Leiyin Temple before. When Tathagata saw her, he pushed her with his hand. She turned the hook and stabbed Tathagata's left thumb. Tathagata was in great pain and asked Vajra to catch her. However, she was agile and nimble, and she avoided Vajra's capture and fell to the lower world here. If you want to save Tang Monk, except for a deity in heaven, even I can't get close to her."

Sun Wukong bowed again and said, "Please tell me who that immortal is. I will go and invite him right away."

The Bodhisattva said, “You must go to the Guangming Palace in the East Gate of Heaven and pray to the star official of the Pleiades to subdue it.” After saying this, the Bodhisattva turned into a ray of golden light and disappeared in an instant.

But Sun Wukong went up to heaven to ask for help from the star official Angri, while Guanyin with a fish basket came to a mountain and saw Zhuang Yan who was playing chess with Zi Yang Zhenren.

Fish Basket Guanyin walked forward and stood aside, watching quietly. Zhuang Yan was already at a disadvantage on the chessboard. As the two of them made a few more moves, two hours passed.

When Zi Yang Zhenren made his last move, Zhuang Yan pushed the board and admitted defeat. He sighed and said, "I've lost three games." Then he smiled at the Fish Basket Guanyin beside him and said, "Bodhisattva, how can you comfort me?"

Fish Basket Guanyin smiled and said, "Victory and defeat are common in the military."

Zhuang Yan said: "Then defeat, defeat, defeat is not a common occurrence."

Yulan Guanyin said: "That's a question of chess skills."

Zhuang Yan pointed at the smiling Zi Yang Zhenren across from him and said, "Buddha is so compassionate, is there any way for me to defeat him?"

The Fish Basket Guanyin's eyes turned slightly, and after a moment she stretched out her white finger and pointed at the jade chessboard and said, "Next time, hit him with the chessboard. Although Zhenjun's chess skills are not good enough, his martial arts skills are great."

When Master Zi Yang heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "How could you, Guanyin of the Fish Basket, teach people such a vicious plan? Are you always trying to harm me, an old Taoist?"

Guanyin of the Fish Basket said with a smile: "If I smash an old Taoist to death, I will produce a 'powerful chess master', why not do it?"

True Man Zi Yang was there puffing his beard and glaring. Zhuang Yan raised his hand and produced a stone bench, and invited Guanyin with a fish basket to sit down.

After the Fish Basket Guanyin sat down, Zhuang Yan asked, "The Bodhisattva must have come from the South China Sea and has already shown Wukong the way out of his confusion, right?"

"I've given you pointers." Guanyin of the Fish Basket nodded.

Zi Yang Zhenren smiled and said, "This Scorpion Demon has a natural nemesis, but I don't know how the King of Xiliang Women's Country, Lingtai Zhenjun, will stop him."

Zhuang Yan smiled slightly and said, "How about a bet between the three of us?"

"Oh?" Zi Yang Zhenren asked with a smile, "What are you betting on?"

Zhuang Yan took out the black gold slingshot and said, "This slingshot is my personal treasure. I'll use it as a bet. I bet that Wukong can figure out a way to crack it without anyone's advice."

"This..." True Man Zi Yang shook his head and said, "The Queen of Xiliang is too powerful. Anyone who goes there will have to share half of her skills. All magical powers, magic weapons and spells will not be spared. I'm afraid even Buddha will suffer if he goes there."

Thinking of this, Zi Yang Zhenren took out a magic sword and said, "This is the 'Nine Yang True Light Sword', a magic treasure. I bet Sun Wukong will need external help to break the situation."

After that, the two looked at the Fish Basket Guanyin again. The Fish Basket Guanyin thought for a moment, put the fish basket in her hand on the table, and said, "I am the same as Master Ziyang. The bet is this fish basket."

On the other side, Sun Wukong had invited the star officer Angri, and they came all the way to the Pipa Cave of Dudi Mountain. Behind the stone screen, Zhu Bajie cursed wildly, and with his hands like a hook, he smashed the stones outside the cave door with a hammer, broke through the first door, and smashed the second door with another hammer. The little demon inside the door was so panicked that he reported: "Grandma! Those three ugly men are here again, and they broke the second door too!"

The Scorpion Demon was just showing his goodness to Tang Monk and giving him vegetarian tea and food when he heard the second door being broken. He jumped out of the flower pavilion and stabbed Zhu Bajie with his fork.

Zhu Bajie used his mace to meet the attack, while Sun Wukong and Xiao Bailong stood beside him, each using their own weapons to help.

The Scorpion Demon rushed over, gathered his strength and leaped forward, and was about to kill him with a needle from his tail, but Sun Wukong and the other two knew how the Scorpion Demon used needles, so they quickly turned around and left.

The Scorpion Demon got up and chased after him. When he turned around the stone screen and came out of the cave, he heard Sun Wukong shouting, "Where is Pleiades?"

Suddenly, the Star Officer was seen standing on the hillside, revealing his true form. It turned out to be a large rooster with double crowns, with its head raised, about six or seven feet tall. It just crowed at the demon, and the Scorpion Demon immediately revealed its true form, which was a scorpion demon as big as a pipa.

When the star officer Ang Ri screamed again, the Scorpion Demon went limp all over and died instantly on the slope.

Zhu Bajie rushed forward, stepped on the scorpion demon's chest and back, and cursed: "Evil beast, can't you use the horse poison now?!"

Sun Wukong flew forward and bowed to the Ang Rixing official, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. I will come to the palace to pay my respects another day."

Ang Ri Star Officer smiled and said, "You are welcome, Great Sage. Go and save your master." After saying that, Ang Ri Star Officer stepped on the clouds and rose up, disappearing into the sky in a moment.

When Sun Wukong saw the star official Angri leave, he went into the cave with Xiaobailong and Zhu Bajie to rescue Tang Monk, then destroyed the Pipa Cave completely before going down the mountain.

The Angri star official did not return to heaven immediately, but came to where Zhuang Yan was, greeted him and said with a smile: "Master Lingtai, I have come to the lower world to subdue the demons at the request of your nephew, and I have come to report now."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Thank you, Star Officer. I know what's going on now. Star Officer, just go back to heaven."

The star official Ang Ri bowed, then greeted Zi Yang Zhenren and Yu Lan Guan Yin, then stepped on a cloud and went straight back to heaven. (End of this chapter)
