Journey to the West: The gods and Buddhas panicked when the monkey was trapped inside him.

Seeing his two apprentices attacking together, Tiger Vanguard had no choice but to swing his bronze sword to parry.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie had a perfect understanding.

The two exchanged a glance. Although they wielded their weapons with great force, they actually used less than a tenth of their strength.

A monkey and a pig circled around the tiger vanguard, seemingly ready to kill with every move, but in reality, they showed mercy at every turn.

Tiger Vanguard was initially terrified, but after fighting for dozens of rounds, he realized that these two monks' disciples were nothing special.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he lost his will to fight. He found an opening, suddenly tore off a tiger skin from his body and covered it on the stone, using a magic trick to escape.

Its true form transformed into a whirlwind, sweeping towards Tang Sanzang's direction.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie pretended not to notice and started hitting the tiger skin covering the stone.

Sitting on his horse, Tang Sanzang saw his two disciples running further and further away, and hurriedly shouted.

"Wukong, Bajie! Don't pursue a cornered enemy!"

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie paid no attention to Tang Sanzang's shouts.

Sun Wukong shouted loudly.

"Where do you think you're going, you monster! I, Old Sun, am going to skin you alive today!"

The two chased after the lingering scent left by the fake body without a care, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Tiger Vanguard's true form stirred up a yellow gust of wind from the shadows and pounced directly on the lone Tang Sanzang.

Amidst the sandstorm blinding their eyes, Tiger Vanguard grabbed Tang Sanzang and flew back to Yellow Wind Cave with a whoosh.

Only a bewildered white horse and a load of luggage remained on the spot.

Inside the Yellow Wind Cave, an eerie aura permeated the air.

Tiger Vanguard carried Tang Sanzang and strode into the cave.

The Yellow Wind Monster sat on the high platform, looking at the fair-skinned Tang Sanzang, and was overjoyed.

"Good! Tiger Vanguard, you've done a great job!"

"This must be the monk from the Tang Dynasty in the East."

Tiger Vanguard smugly cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Your Majesty, this is the monk."

"His two apprentices are incredibly stupid; they were easily fooled by my clever escape technique."

Tang Sanzang sat on the ground, straightened his monk's robe, and did not panic.

"Amitabha."

"Your Majesty, this humble monk is a monk who is on his way to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures."

"If Your Majesty desires wealth, you may take this humble monk's belongings and travel expenses, but please do not harm this humble monk's life."

"My two disciples are highly skilled in magic, especially my eldest disciple, who is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace."

"If you don't want to get into trouble, you'd better let this humble monk go west as soon as possible."

Yellow Wind Monster burst into laughter after hearing this.

"The Monkey King?"

"What a prestigious title! I'd like to see what he's really capable of."

"You lot, drag this monk away and tie him up tightly."

"Let's starve him for a few days until he's cleared out all the waste from his stomach and intestines before we start cooking meat."

The Yellow Wind Monster looked down at Tang Sanzang from his high vantage point.

"Monk, then I'll wait here for your two disciples to come and rescue you."

"I'll show you with your own eyes how I, the Great King, will trample your powerful disciple under my feet."

The demons swarmed forward and dragged Tang Sanzang deep into the cave.

......

On the other side, behind Huangfengling Mountain.

Sun Wukong smashed the tiger skin draped over the stone with his staff.

There was only a stubborn rock under the tiger skin.

Sun Wukong slammed his golden cudgel on the ground and shouted.

"oops!"

"not good!"

"Bajie, we've fallen into a trap!"

"This monster is using a trick to escape its shell! Master is in danger! Go back and save Master!"

Pigsy suppressed his laughter and pretended to be panicked.

"Brother Monkey, let's go back quickly."

"We can't let Master get eaten by that monster."

The two slowly walked back to where they had been.

The official road was deserted, with only the white dragon horse grazing in place, its luggage left aside, and Tang Sanzang nowhere to be seen.

Sun Wukong slapped his thighs with both hands, his face full of "heartache and indignation".

"Oh no! Pigsy, Master has really been captured by a monster!"

"What should we do!"

Pigsy sat down on the ground and waved his hand.

"Don't panic, Brother Monkey. Your master is a lucky man, protected by Buddha. Nothing will go wrong."

"Look, the sun is already setting. We've been running around for most of the day, and our stomachs are growling."

"There's no use in rushing now. Let's eat something first, brothers. Only when we're full and have the strength to fight the monster and save our master."

Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing.

"You idiot, you're usually so dull, but what you said today makes sense."

"If your stomach isn't full, how can you wield a weapon?"

The two hit it off immediately, and they didn't even bother with the white dragon horse, sitting down on a clean bluestone slab.

With a flick of his wrist, Sun Wukong took out some crystal-clear, spiritually rich immortal fruits, as well as several packets of exquisite immortal snacks, and placed them directly on the stone between the two of them.

"Monkey King, how come you still have magic fruits?"

"Just how much good stuff have you hoarded? Quickly share some with Old Pig so he can have a taste."

Pigsy rubbed his hands together and went over.

Sun Wukong picked up a celestial fruit, took a bite, and said casually.

"I don't have much left."

"These are all stockpiled items from the past."

"Eat less now, so eat sparingly."

Despite saying that, Sun Wukong still took out more than a dozen high-quality fairy fruits from his sleeve and stuffed them into Zhu Bajie's arms.

Pigsy caught the celestial fruit, wiped it on his clothes, and began to devour it.

"Thank you, Brother Monkey."

"It's a blessing to have such good food in this desolate place."

Sun Wukong sighed and gave some instructions.

"Eat sparingly, we can't go to Heaven lately, so we can't restock."

Pigsy gave a vague reply.

"Understood, I know what I'm doing."

The two sat down on the ground right there on the desolate official road, eating, drinking, and chatting happily.

At this very moment, amidst the layers of auspicious clouds high in the sky.

Guanyin Bodhisattva and Pilanpo Bodhisattva stood side by side, concealing their forms, and looked down at the scene below.

Guanyin Bodhisattva's face turned ashen.

"presumptuous!"

"Those two are really going too far!"

"It's one thing for the acting to be so fake, but as long as no one else sees it, I won't say anything."

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked down at Zhu Bajie, who was eating with his mouth full of juice, and was furious.

"Our master has been captured by a monster, and instead of rescuing him, they're here feasting and drinking!"

"They never even considered the slightest urgency of rescuing their master from the pilgrimage!"

The Bodhisattva Vimalamitra also frowned, clearly displeased.

"These two really went too far."

Guanyin Bodhisattva suppressed her anger and immediately transmitted her voice through divine thought, which rang in the ears of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie.

"Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie!"

"You two mustn't go too far!"

"Hurry and subdue the demon and rescue the people! Do not delay the great journey to the west!"

Upon hearing the telepathic message in their minds, the two people on the ground not only failed to get up but also simultaneously curled their lips in disapproval.

Pigsy swallowed the fruit in his mouth and muttered something.

"After spending the last few months traveling with the monks, enduring wind and rain, my taste buds have become so bland."

"Now that I finally get a half-day off, they won't even let me eat and drink in peace."

Sun Wukong sneered inwardly and responded without any politeness.

"Why are you rushing me?"

"I, Old Sun, know how to handle things properly and will absolutely not delay your important business."

"The emperor doesn't need starving soldiers. Once we've eaten our fill, we'll naturally go and rescue our master."

After saying that, the two simply sealed their divine senses, ignoring Guanyin's warning, and continued to munch on the immortal fruit.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was so angry that her chest heaved in the clouds.

"Those two unruly brats!"

Upon seeing this, Bodhisattva Pilanpo quickly offered words of comfort.

"Your Excellency, please calm your anger and allow them this opportunity."

"The pilgrimage is just getting on track, so it's not advisable to have a direct confrontation with them."

"Once the curtain is rolled up and the pilgrimage team is reunited, we can find a suitable opportunity on the journey to the west to give them a good talking-to."

Guanyin Bodhisattva calmed her mind and barely suppressed the anger in her heart.

"You're right, I'll write this down."

"Sooner or later, I will show them what rules are!"

The Bodhisattva Pilanpo looked towards the direction of Huangfeng Cave and asked with a slightly worried expression.

"Venerable One, has Bodhisattva Lingji made adequate preparations for this Yellow Wind Monster?"

"Although this Yellow Wind Monster has some supernatural powers, he is definitely no match for Sun Wukong."

"Don't let the monster get killed by Sun Wukong if we're not careful."

Guanyin Bodhisattva regained her composure and waved her hand.

You can rest assured about this matter.

"Bodhisattva Lingji has already made full preparations."

"The Samadhi Divine Wind in the hands of this Yellow Wind Monster is quite formidable."

"Although he can't defeat Sun Wukong, with this divine wind, he will not be easily killed."

"Delaying for a while is not a problem; at most, we can hold out until Bodhisattva Lingji appears and saves him."

Only then did the Bodhisattva Vimalamitra feel completely relieved.

That's good.

The two fell silent, closing their eyes and meditating on the clouds, too lazy to look at those two troublesome fellows below.

Out of sight out of mind.
