Journey to the West: Beginning with the Apprenticeship of Bodhi Patriarch

Chapter 33: The Demon Returns to the Mountain
It was a quiet and cold night in the mountains.

Jiang Yuan ordered his soul to help and follow the evil spirit to find it. However, he jumped very slowly and flew for a long time before he got close to the evil spirit. He landed and looked around but could not see any trace of the monster.

He was on guard, thinking to himself, "The black air is here, that monster is hiding, I'm afraid it will harm me, I should be careful and alert."

He held the Yu Ding, called the Yin and Yang fishes to bring Jin Gong, and moved forward cautiously.

As I walked into the old forest, I suddenly heard a voice beside my ear.

"Brother, brother! Save me!"

This is the voice of Great Wisdom.

When Jiang Yuan heard this, he looked ahead and saw a deep pit in front of him, from which Dahui's voice was coming.

Jiang Tong'er stepped forward and asked, "But Dahui?"

Dahui in the pit replied after a while: "Brother, it's me. I went up the mountain to subdue the demon and stepped on a hunter's trap. I can't get out. Brother, come closer and save me!"

Jiang Yuan was a smart man, so how could he be fooled by this? He heard from the master that Dahui was dead and there was no way he could survive. The presence of Dahui's voice here must be a trick of that evil monster who wanted to harm him.

If what he guessed was correct, the deep pit was a trap, and the monsters were hiding around, waiting for him to come forward to rescue, and then they would pounce on him and kill him.

If he is really clumsy, let's see how he deals with this weirdo.

Jiang Yuan was secretly on guard, but said, "Brother Dahui, if it is really you, I am here to save you. You know that I practice the way of the 'water' sect, so I cannot fly. Wait for me to weave a rope to save you."

The voice in the pit became deep and said, "Brother, don't worry. I'll be waiting for you."

Jiang Yuan felt very calm. He pretended to walk to an old tree, took a red vine, weaved it into a rope, and walked into the deep pit.

When he approached the deep pit and was about to throw down the rope, a cold wind blew from behind, with a faint fishy smell piercing his heart.

Jiang Yuan was neither anxious nor impatient. He calmed his mind and waited for the cold wind to approach. He turned around suddenly, took out the Yu Ding and smashed it.

Boom! ! !
Sure enough, the monster attacked from behind. Yu Ding hit the monster's right arm, causing it unbearable pain. Unexpectedly, Jiang Tong'er saw through his plan and tried to escape.

How could Jiang Yuan let the evil tiger escape? He manifested the Yin and Yang fish, and with the might of Lord Jin, he surrounded the monster and prevented it from escaping.

The black fish was acting ferociously and the white fish assisted him and stopped the monster. No matter how the monster jumped up and down to escape, it could not escape. Its right arm was injured and its power was greatly reduced, so it could not get away.

When the monster saw Jiang Yuan approaching, he became anxious and opened his mouth, spitting out fire.

When the black fish saw the raging fire, it spat out a white bead, but the white bead swirled and exhaled clear air, causing the fire to separate and not get close to it.

Jiang Yuan took the opportunity to walk closer, jumped ten feet up, and threw it down, hitting the monster on the head. The Yu Ding was such a divine object, its power was connected to Yuzhou, and it was the most important of the Nine Dings.

The monster was hit on the head and cried out in pain, falling to the ground and transforming into a tigress with a white forehead, a round head, a spotted body and green eyes, and a body more than two meters long. Even in death, her majesty remained undiminished.

Jiang Yuan killed the tiger and went to the deep pit to take a look. It was indeed a little demon. He killed the little demon, grabbed the tiger's tail, and dragged the tiger's body down the mountain.

When Jiang Yuan went down the mountain, the east was about to dawn. He saw an old man wandering at the foot of the mountain road, unwilling to leave.

When the boy went up the mountain, he asked the old man to wait for him. Overnight, the old man turned out to be a trustworthy man and was waiting for him there.

"Dude, dude!"

Jiang Yuan waved from a distance.

The old man saw Jiang Yuan coming down the mountain and followed him. He was dazzled and looked carefully. He saw the boy dragging a big tiger down the mountain. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground and couldn't get up. He could only shout: "Monster, monster!"

Jiang Yuan released Huwei and stepped forward and said, "Don't be afraid, brother. I am here to subdue the demon!"

The old man stood up after hearing what he said. Seeing that the tiger corpse was fierce, it still looked majestic even after death. He said tremblingly, "Master, you are really capable! This is really an evil monster. Master, you can subdue this monster. You are really powerful." Jiang Yuan said, "Brother, the evil monster in the Evil Wind Mountain has been eliminated. You can live your life in peace. Don't be afraid of monsters. I will leave the body of this monster on the road. Brother, go back and call the villagers to identify whether this tiger is a monster in the mountain, so that the villagers can rest assured."

The old man said in horror: "Yes, yes, yes! Master, you have worked hard to subdue the demon!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "I left this tiger demon body here. I came here on the orders of my master and I must report back to him."

The old man said, "Master, please go, please go!"

Jiang Yuan jumped ten feet up, pulled his body back towards Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

The old man bowed and saw Jiang Yuan off.

……

Jiang Yuan jumped up and before he knew it the morning was over, noon had come and dusk had arrived. He hurried back to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and entered the Sanxing Immortal Cave. Many fellow apprentices talked to him a little, and he exchanged greetings with them for a while. Then he walked to Yaotai, went around the back road and entered two quiet rooms, where he met the master at the door of the quiet room.

The master looked around with a smile and said, "Boy, is it done yet?"

Jiang Yuan stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Master, the evil wind mountain monster has been subdued by my disciple."

The master said, "Tell me, boy."

Jiang Yuan replied, "Master, this monster is the king of mountain beasts. It has some magical powers and is very cunning. It has an evil wind bead. If you blow air into it, it will cause evil wind to blow. Fortunately, my disciple Jin Gong broke the magic and made the evil wind bead ineffective. The monster saw that I, Jin Gong, was powerful and Yu Ding was heavy, so it took advantage of the wind to escape. I didn't have any flying skills, so I just chased slowly. I didn't expect that the monster found a little monster halfway to pretend to be my junior brother Dahui to fool me. I saw through it and turned the tables on it, so Yu Ding killed it."

The master listened, nodded from time to time, and secretly praised the boy for his intelligence.

The ancestor said, "My boy, true demons are very cunning. You should remember this in your heart. When you subdue demons in the future, don't use the tricks."

Jiang Yuan nodded and took note of the master's words. The tiger was cunning and he had never thought about it. If he was careless, he might get hurt by it.

The master said: "Now that the boy has returned, you should practice and seek the horse of intention."

Jiang Yuan said: "Master, this is exactly what I want to say."

The master stroked the boy's forehead with his palm and said, "Now that you have invited two people, the two gods will be anxious, and it is difficult to find the intentional horse, so you will be in trouble this time."

Jiang Yuan said: "Master, I should guard against arrogance and impatience, and teach the two gods without any tricks."

The master nodded and said: "In that case, you go and meditate in silence, so that you can understand the whereabouts of the mind horse as soon as possible."

Jiang Yuan bowed again, and escorted the master back to his room, then returned to his quiet room along the same route as before.

……

Entering the room, the boy sat on a cushion and took out a bead of evil wind from his sleeve. Upon closer inspection, the bead was flat and round, and gray-black in color. He used the bead to spit out evil wind when he saw the monster exhaling inside.

Jiang Yuan tried to breathe into the bead through his mouth and nose, and indeed saw an evil wind coming out of the bead. He thought to himself, "It's a treasure. Although it doesn't have much power, not as powerful as the wind of heaven or the dark wind, it can be useful if used to catch the enemy by surprise."

He said that he had fought with a vicious tiger before, and the tiger unexpectedly took out an evil wind bead, and he was almost killed. Fortunately, Yu Ding protected him, so he was safe.

This pearl may be useful someday.

Jiang Yuan tied the Evil Wind Pearl and Yu Ding together, calmed down, and called the Monkey King. He should go to find the Willing Horse. Hearing the words of the ancestor, the Willing Horse is hard to find. The two gods will definitely bring disaster. He must not be careless...
