The Way of Rebirth

It is said that after the master and disciple Sanzang of the Tang Dynasty solved the disaster of the six-eared macaque, they continued westward to Leiyin Temple to obtain the true scriptures. Along the way, they were covered with stars and moons, traveling day and night. On this day, they suddenly came to a place. Look at what this place looked like.

It looks like a desert but is connected by mountains. It looks like green mountains and green waters, but the weather is quite hot. After all, it is already autumn, but it is unexpected that this place is extremely hot. Even Sun Wukong, who is not afraid of water and fire, feels a little anxious.

hot.

"Senior Brother, have we arrived at the legendary Sunset Country - Sihari Country? It looks quite similar. Normal places are not so hot at all, not to mention that it is already autumn.

It's long overdue for a cool breeze, but with such a burning heat, I'm afraid my old pig will be roasted and cooked in a few days." Zhu Bajie swung his big ears as a fan and fanned himself wildly.

He shook the sweat off his head and complained.

"But I don't know what kind of country Bajie mentioned is Sharili. Why haven't you heard of such a country before?" Tang Sanzang had already taken off the Vastu hat he was wearing at this time.

There were some beads of sweat on his shiny bald head, but Tang Sanzang did not lose the cassock he was wearing. Instead, he wore the Jinfu cassock given to him by Master Guanyin, because this Jinfu cassock had one advantage, that is,

It can be warm in winter and cool in summer. Although it is autumn now, the heat here is a bit unbearable. Tang Sanzang, wearing a brocade cassock, only felt a sense of coolness all over his body. Apart from the burning sensation on his head and limbs, he seemed rather uncomfortable.

Somewhat refreshing.

"Master doesn't know something, but Bajie, an idiot, said the wrong place. The Nashali Kingdom is the place where the sun sets, commonly known as the end of the sky. Every day when the Shenyou time comes, the king of the Nashali Kingdom will send a message.

People go to the city to beat drums and blow trumpets, and the sound is like the sound of the sea boiling. Because this sun is the real fire of the sun. It sets between the Western Sea, like fire quenching water, and the sound is boiling. If it were not accompanied by the sound of the trumpets, the sun would not be the same.

The sound of falling into the sea will shock and kill the children in the Sihari Kingdom." Sun Wukong smiled and explained to Tang Sanzang after hearing this, and then said, "It's just that the Sihali Kingdom is not only a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from here.

, Master may not be able to reach it even if he travels his whole life. The weather here is so hot. I’m afraid there are other reasons why we shouldn’t go to find someone’s house and ask.”

"Wukong's words are very good." Tang Sanzang also felt that the hot weather was a bit uncomfortable. Hearing Sun Wukong's words, he immediately nodded in agreement. After saying that, he stepped forward to block the sun with his right hand and looked ahead. To say that this place is very wide, Tang Sanzang

After looking at it for a long time, Sanzang found a conspicuous house. The reason why it was conspicuous was that the manors of that family were all red, with red tile roofs, red brick walls, and red door fans. Tang Sanzang was overjoyed when he saw this.

He quickened his pace and ran towards that house. Seeing this, Sun Wukong followed closely, Zhu Bajie led the white dragon horse, and Monk Sha carried the luggage.

Not long after, Tang Sanzang came to the door of this family's courtyard, knocked a few times, and shouted a few words inside: "Excuse me, is there a benefactor at home? The young monk came from the Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty and wanted to use your village to rest for a while."

Hearing footsteps coming from the manor, and then the red courtyard door opened with a "squeak", Tang Sanzang looked around and saw a man holding a bamboo cane in one hand, wearing bamboo sandals on his feet, and wearing a rough summer coat.

, an old man with a rosy complexion and long eyebrows covering his eyes came.

Seeing Tang Sanzang, the old man saluted hurriedly and said, "I didn't expect it was the elder knocking on the door. The little old man is quite old now and his ears are not very good. It is quite rude to open the door only now. Please don't blame the elder." The old man had a kind face and looked at it.

He seemed to be a Buddhist believer, otherwise he would not have been so polite to Tang Sanzang. After the ceremony, he extended his hand to invite Tang Sanzang to enter the manor. When he saw the three brothers Sun Wukong behind Tang Sanzang, the old man was a little scared at first.

, but after Tang Sanzang explained the identities of the three of them, he seemed calm, which made Sun Wukong look at him differently...

"Elder, please wait." The old man in the living room took a plate with a few pieces of rice cakes in it, and also brought several bowls of tea to enjoy with the four masters and disciples of Tang Sanzang. However, looking at the heat on the surface of the tea, this tea was...

It was quite hot. As for the rice cake in the plate, it seemed to have an attractive aroma. The three brothers, Sun Wukong and Brother Sun Wukong, were already hungry. Seeing how they could hold back the rice cake, Zhu Bajie reached out and grabbed a piece of rice cake. He just didn't want the rice.

The cake seemed a little hot to the touch, so Zhu Bajie awkwardly switched the rice cake from his left hand to his right hand, and then from his right hand to his left hand. After going back and forth for more than ten times, he finally saw that the rice cake had cooled down, and then he opened his mouth to eat the rice cake.

"Old benefactor, I wonder where this place is, why is it so hot in autumn?" Tang Sanzang glared at Zhu Bajie, then turned around and asked the old man with a smile, "Although my three disciples look scary,

But everyone has extraordinary abilities. The weather here is scorching and unbearable. Even the three of them can't bear it. They think that we have to go to the west to get the scriptures, but we don't know what to do. I dare to ask the old benefactor if there is any relief.

What's the solution?"

"Elders, are you going to the West?" The old man was shocked when he heard Tang Sanzang's words, and then shook his head and said, "As far as I know, the elders are better off not going to the West. It's not as simple as the elders think."

"But I don't know what is going on?" Sun Wukong heard the old man's words, looked at the old man's solemn eyes, and asked aloud, "Is it possible that there are monsters entrenched in the mountains and forests in the west, blocking pedestrians?"

The old man shook his head and laughed when he heard this: "Look what the disciple of the elder said, the weather here is hot, and ordinary monsters will not settle here. It's just that this place is called Flame Mountain. There is no spring or autumn, and the four seasons are as scorching as the hot summer."

It's hot. Unless they are monsters who love heat, ordinary monsters have long been dried out by the scorching heat. However, due west, it is blocked by the Flame Mountain. The only way to the west is through the Flame Mountain. There are eight flame mountains.

There is a hundred miles of flames, and there is no grass growing all around. If you want to cross the Flame Mountain, it will be harder than climbing to the sky. You know, even if you have a copper head and iron arms, I am afraid that you will turn into water before you even climb to the top of the mountain."

The old man's words made Tang Sanzang turn pale and he was so frightened that he stopped asking any more questions. However, Sun Wukong looked at the rice cakes on the table and shook his head and asked: "After thinking about it, there is no way for us to get through this."

People from the Flame Mountain, according to what the old donor said, the flames are rolling within 800 miles of the Flame Mountain, and there is no grass growing around it, so I wonder where the rice flour used to make the rice cakes comes from?"

"The monkey head is right on point. In fact, there is no way to cross the Flame Mountain. Although the Flame Mountain is so flaming that no gods dare to pass by it, there is only one great god who can conquer this Flame Mountain.

, We were able to have rice flour to make cakes because we went to ask that expert to take action. However, as the four elders came from the east, I was afraid that it would be difficult to invite that powerful person for a while." Hearing this, the old man nodded first.

He said, then shook his head with some regret.

Tang Sanzang was initially aroused by the old man's words, but the old man's next words sprinkled a spoonful of water on Tang Sanzang's fire of hope and extinguished it. But at least he had a hope, and Tang Sanzang also

He had to hold on tightly and asked the old man: "But I don't know what the name of this master is, and which famous mountain he lives in. The young monk will send his disciples to ask the master for help."

"To be honest with you elders, this master's name is Iron Fan Immortal. He lives in the Banana Cave on Cuiyun Mountain in the southwest. This Immortal has a banana fan in his hand. The fan at the end is so powerful that just one fan can extinguish the flames of the Flame Mountain.

, the second fan will see the sky and the earth surging with wind and clouds, the wind howling, the third fan will see thunder and lightning rolling, and heavy rain pouring down." The old man heard the words and replied loudly, "We are just asking the immortal to put out the fire, and then we can sow the health-preserving grains at the right time.

, we were able to get grains to brew rice cakes and wine, but although this great immortal has a treasure that can extinguish the fire of the Flame Mountain, he is not willing to do it easily. We have to prepare gifts and go to invite him, so that we can invite this great immortal to take action."

….

"But I don't know what gifts are needed?" When Tang Sanzang heard the name of the Iron Fan Immortal and saw that the Immortal could extinguish the flames of the Flame Mountain, he was immediately overjoyed. However, he didn't want to hear the old man saying that he wanted to prepare gifts, so he couldn't help but

He was stunned for a moment, but then he thought that as long as he could go to the Flame Mountain and go to the Great Thunder Sound Temple in the West to obtain the true scripture, he would be willing to give it even thousands of gold and silver.

"We are asking the Immortal to take action. We need four pigs and four goats, red flowers inside and outside, fragrant seasonal fruits, chickens and geese, fine wine, bathe in piety, worship at the Immortal Mountain, and ask the Immortal to come out of the cave. Only then can we do it. See how many elders have come all the way here.

It is quite difficult to live in the Flame Mountain, but how can you have time to prepare gifts to ask the immortal to help you?" The old man shook his head and said, "Even if the young man wants to help the elder, it is difficult to find these gifts in a short time.

Come?"

"Old man, don't worry. Since this great immortal has a way to extinguish the flames of the Flame Mountain, there is no need for gifts. When I go to the Basho Cave to ask the great immortal to come out and extinguish the flames of the Flame Mountain, then I can let you

We got through it with peace of mind." Sun Wukong laughed loudly after listening to the old man's words, "No matter where this great immortal cultivated and became Taoist, as long as he is a person in our Taoism, he should know my old grandson's name, and I must go there.

If we go, the great immortal will naturally happily send out banana fans to help us climb over the Flame Mountain." After saying that, Sun Wukong flew directly to the southwest corner in the clouds and mist.

When the old man heard Sun Wukong's words, he was ready to say something to persuade him. He just thought that the monkey-headed man had an arrogant tone. How could the Iron Fan Immortal be invited out so easily? However, he didn't expect to see the monkey-headed man flying straight through the clouds.

Flying to the southwest, the old man's face changed with fright, and he hurriedly took Tang Sanzang's hand and said, "Why didn't the elder say that this disciple of yours is an expert who can soar into the clouds and ride in the mist?"

Ignoring the surprise of the old man on Tang Sanzang's side, he said that Sun Wukong flew to Cuiyun Mountain on auspicious clouds and let the clouds fall down. However, this Cuiyun Mountain is high in mountains and forested, and it is difficult to find the banana cave. When he was in distress, he suddenly saw a woodcutter.

The husband walked by carrying a load of dry firewood. Seeing this, Sun Wukong turned around and transformed into a small Shani. He came forward and saluted and asked: "May I ask the donor, is this Cuiyun Mountain? Is there an iron man in the Banjiao Cave in Cuiyun Mountain?"

Fan Daxian?"

The woodcutter shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "The young monk must have come from outside. This is Cuiyun Mountain. Go straight east along this path. Within five or six miles, you can see the Bajiao Cave."

, but there is no Iron Fan Immortal in the cave, but there is an Iron Fan Princess, also known as the Rakshasa Girl, who is the wife of the powerful Bull Demon King. She is in charge of the banana fan, which can eliminate the fire of the Flame Mountain." After that, Sun Wukong saw the woodcutter.

His body shape changed, and his true body appeared, which was the Western Golden Head Revealing the Truth.

"So that's it, let's go away after the golden head uncovers the truth. I must go and meet this Rakshasa girl for a while, and at least borrow the banana fan." When Sun Wukong saw the golden head uncovering the truth and revealed his true body, he stopped talking nonsense and showed up.

The Monkey King's true form stretched out his hand in front of the golden head, and then flew straight to the Banana Cave on the clouds. However, although Sun Wukong said it lightly, he was still a little worried in his heart. After all, this Rakshasa girl had never been with him before.

I have seen him before, and in addition to the fact that the Rakshasa girl's son Hong Haier was almost sent to Buddhism by him earlier, if the Rakshasa girl harbors a grudge, I'm afraid I don't know how to deal with it.

Just thinking about it, Sun Wukong had already seen the Bajiao Cave, but he saw the three characters "Bajiao Cave" written on the cave, and the two stone doors were tightly closed. Sun Wukong suddenly remembered the Rakshasa woman's husband, the powerful Bull Demon King, and thought about his former self

I seem to have heard of Cuiyun Mountain when I made sworn vows to my eldest brother, the Bull Demon King. I thought that this Cuiyun Mountain must be the residence of my eldest brother, the Bull Demon King. I thought that if the Bull Demon King was in the cave, I'm afraid this matter would be easy to explain. After all, in the past, I was with the Bull Demon King.

The relationship between the Bull Demon King and the Bull Demon King is very strong.

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong stepped forward and patted the stone door, shouting inside: "Is the eldest brother the Bull Demon King in the cave?

In the cave, people in this cave may not know who is shouting. Princess Iron Fan was accidentally annoyed and needed to do something; you must know that calling the Bull Demon King is in the cave, but there are some

It was meant to be provocative, so Sun Wukong called out like this. On the one hand, he showed his identity with the Bull Demon King, and on the other hand, it also seemed quite cordial. Regardless of whether the Bull Demon King was in the cave or not, Sun Wukong's shout could resolve many conflicts...

.

However, the situation did not seem to be as simple as Sun Wukong thought. He only heard a sound, and saw the stone door in front of him opened, and a woman walked out. He looked and saw that the woman was holding a green sword, wearing a flower and moon wreath on her head, and wearing a

Wearing a brocade robe, a tiger-striped waistband, and phoenix-mouthed boots on her feet, she looked heroic. The woman came out and glared at Sun Wukong and shouted angrily: "You slutty monkey, you were calling me that damn thing just now."

idiot?"

"Idiot?" Sun Wukong was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile, "I think the female benefactor heard it wrong. What I, the old grandson, called was the eldest brother, the Bull Demon King. My old grandson and the eldest brother, the Bull Demon King, have been sworn friends for more than hundreds of years. Today,

But this is the first time I have come to my eldest brother's house. I wonder if the female benefactor has ever known where my eldest brother, the Bull Demon King, is?" At this point, Sun Wukong couldn't help but glance at the woman in front of him. When he saw the woman holding something in her hand,

While holding a banana fan, Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes and realized that the woman in front of him was the target he was looking for - Princess Iron Fan.

"Your eldest brother, the Bull Demon King, is my husband. I just don't expect this idiot to go out to meet friends on clouds every day. Not long ago, he found a despicable vixen somewhere when meeting friends, and he was actually fascinated by that vixen.

I have been so distracted that I have not returned home in the past few years. A few days ago, my poor child was almost taken away by the Western Guanyin, and this cruel guy refused to save him." The woman cursed as soon as she opened her mouth, and then

But she looked at Sun Wukong with a ferocious look, "You slutty monkey, could it be possible that you invited my husband to meet you earlier and gave the vixen to that idiot, causing him to refuse to go home for several years?" As she said this, the woman said

He swung the green sword and struck at Sun Wukong.

"It turns out it's my sister-in-law. I'm sorry for my rudeness and not recognizing my sister-in-law. But I haven't seen my brother for many years. How could I do such a bad thing as a brother-in-law and a sister-in-law?" Seeing this, Sun Wukong hurriedly waved his hands and said, and then said

He smiled and said, "To be honest, my sister-in-law knows that my grandson is the Sun Wukong who caused great trouble in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago. At that time, he was suppressed by Tathagata Buddha under the Five Fingers Mountain for five hundred years, during which he never saw his brother and sister-in-law again, so my sister-in-law did not know that I

Old Sun, it’s just that after Tang Sanzang was released, I escorted Tang Sanzang all the way to the west. When I got here, I was blocked by the Flame Mountain. I had no choice but to ask my brother and sister-in-law for help."

"Are you that Sun Wukong?" Princess Iron Fan's face changed when she heard this, and then she said angrily, "You almost killed my child? Take my sword." After saying that, Princess Iron Fan raised her sword and swung it at Sun Wukong.

When the sword came, Sun Wukong could not dodge when he saw it. He saw Princess Iron Fan's green sword piercing the body, passing through Sun Wukong's invulnerable steel body, leaving half of it inside the body.

"Sister-in-law was originally angry about that matter. She thought that something was wrong with me, so she gave me a blow with my sword as an apology. My sister-in-law is now relieved, so please lend me the banana fan to use until I am done with it.

After you go to the flames of the Flame Mountain, how about you return it to your sister-in-law?" Sun Wukong saw Princess Iron Fan's sword piercing him without being angry, and asked with a smile to apologize.

"Don't you dare tease me, Monkey?" Princess Iron Fan couldn't help but get angry when she saw this, "My child had a hard time cultivating in the dry pine valley, but he was tricked by you, the Monkey, and almost escaped into Buddhism, breaking off the mother-child relationship with me.

This kind of hatred can't be offset with one sword, not to mention that you don't want to be the Monkey King, but you want to escort Tang San to the West to learn scriptures. Aren't you looking for a fight? Even if you don't plot against my child, I will

I won’t lend you a banana fan.”

"What did my sister-in-law say?" Sun Wukong heard this and was a little confused as to why Princess Iron Fan had such a bad temper. However, it seemed that the real reason was not that he almost killed the Holy Infant King Red Boy, but

The fact that he escorted Tang Sanzang to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures touched the eyebrows of Princess Iron Fan, but even after thinking about it, Sun Wukong couldn't figure out why Princess Iron Fan hated Buddhism so much.

"If you don't leave like a monkey, don't blame me for not wanting to give you a ride." Princess Iron Fan saw that Sun Wukong still refused to leave. She was a little annoyed at the moment. She waved her hand and saw that the petite banana fan at first turned into a banana fan.

A huge fan, Princess Iron Fan looked at Sun Wukong, and when she saw that Sun Wukong had no intention of leaving, she was furious. She swung the banana fan violently, and immediately saw a strong wind rising up, blowing directly towards Sun Wukong. She didn't want the strong wind to sweep over Sun Wukong.

When he was on his body, he suddenly saw a ray of light flashing from Sun Wukong's body. Suddenly the wind cleared and the clouds became calm, and Sun Wukong was still standing where he was.
