The Way of Rebirth

As Sun Wukong's golden cudgel hit the ground that looked like yellow sand but not yellow sand, two puffs of green smoke were heard. After the green smoke dissipated, two figures appeared, one

The man is stout and tall, with his upper body bare, his head staring at the branches as a shade to block the scorching sun, holding a three-pronged butt in his hand, and his face is ferocious green; the other is short in stature, wearing a white sweatshirt, a crescent moon crown on his head, and one hand

Leaning on a dragon-head crutch, holding a dead leaf fan in one hand to fan the wind, he came to Sun Wukong with a smile. These two people were the mountain gods and the land at the Flame Mountain.

"Grandpa Great Sage, why are you calling us two?" Tu Tu saw Sun Wukong riding on the auspicious clouds smiling and supporting the crown and hat on his head, looking quite like a sycophant. However, the mountain god on the side did not despise Tu Tu.

, looking at Sun Wukong in front of him, he was also very attentive, but it was a pity that this burly appearance, coupled with such a wretched smile, could kill many passers-by.

"You two, come here. I, the old Sun, have a few words to ask you." Sun Wukong looked at the somewhat flattering mountain gods and the land below, feeling helpless, and it was difficult to lose his temper. As the saying goes, you can't hit someone with a smile, let alone himself.

Now I have something to ask for, as the saying goes: "A strong dragon will not suppress a local snake." These two wretched guys are the best among local snakes. Although Sun Wukong is extremely powerful, he does not want to hurt his harmony at this juncture.

"I wonder what the Great Sage's instructions are?" The Earth God and the Mountain God looked at each other after hearing the words, and then stepped forward and bowed their hands and asked, "Is the Great Sage looking like this because the sea of ​​​​fire in the Flame Mountain is so distressed that it is difficult to walk on the West Road?

I don't know how to solve it, so you called me and the other two to ask?" The eyes of the two guys are very poisonous, and they have already seen the embarrassment on Sun Wukong at a glance, but these two guys are ghosts after all, no

If you dare to ask, you will only be willing to ask if you find this opportunity.

"Since you are the mountain gods and the land here, I won't hide anything from you." Sun Wukong lowered his head and looked at the land and mountain gods in front of him and said, "I escorted the master to the Flame Mountain, but I didn't want to see the Flame Mountain.

The flames inside are dangerous and unpredictable. Even my grandson would not dare to climb the Flame Mountain easily. However, the flame mountain blocks the only way to the west. I went to Cuiyun Mountain to borrow it.

Princess Iron Fan’s banana fan was deceived by Princess Iron Fan. Not only did it not extinguish the fire in the Flame Mountain, it also stirred up the flames in the mountain.”

"It seems that the Great Sage must have been deceived by Princess Iron Fan. The power of the real banana fan is extraordinary. We have been fortunate enough to see it several times. Princess Iron Fan sealed the flames in the Flame Mountain for three or four months with just three fans.

I think the Great Sage must have offended Princess Iron Fan somehow, so he was deceived by her. Now it seems that the Great Sage still wants to go to Cuiyun Mountain to borrow a banana fan?" Tutu replied after hearing this.

Finally, he looked up at Sun Wukong.

"How did I, the old Sun, not know that I had been deceived by Princess Iron Fan? But now there is really no other way to extinguish the fire in the Flame Mountain, so I have to find another way to find my old sworn brother, the powerful Bull Demon King. Look,

I'll see if I can borrow a banana fan, but I haven't come here to pay homage to the Bull Demon King for more than 500 years since he made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and was pinned down by the Western Sakyamuni Buddha at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, so I didn't know for a while.

Where is Brother Bull Demon King? I have no choice but to call you two out to inquire." Sun Wukong replied with a smile upon hearing this.

"If you want to go to the Flame Mountain, you really have to go find the banana fan that the powerful Bull Demon King just borrowed. Although the powerful Bull Demon King has not returned to Cuiyun Mountain for several years, his whereabouts are under our control. He is directly south of here.

More than three thousand miles away, there is Jilei Mountain. There is Moyun Cave on Jilei Mountain. In the cave, there is a fox king who has been practicing for thousands of years. However, this fox king failed to practice to overcome the tribulation and disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a fox king.

The daughter's name is Princess Jade Face, and she has recruited the powerful Bull Demon King into her husband's house. So if the Great Sage wants to find the powerful Bull Demon King, he needs to go to Ji Lei Mountain to take a look." Tutu replied with a smile after hearing this...

"With your words, is it possible that the fire in the Flame Mountain was set by my brother, the powerful Bull Demon King?" Sun Wukong couldn't help but look at the land and mountain gods in front of him after hearing this, "If it sounds like this, there is only an iron fan.

Only the princess's banana fan can subdue the sea of ​​​​fire in the Flame Mountain?" Sun Wukong couldn't help but feel a little angry when he said this, "What this brother is doing is very harmful to people. What kind of fire must be set on a treasure mountain that is so beautiful? Is it because my sister-in-law hates the jade?

There was a fight between the fox and his brother, so the brother was angry and set Cuiyun Mountain on fire, but his sister-in-law used a banana fan to stop him, and it just turned into the Flame Mountain?"

"This..." After hearing Sun Wukong's complaints, the earth and mountain gods couldn't help looking at each other and smiling bitterly. Then they had to raise their hands and said to Sun Wukong, "Great Sage, be angry. Great Sage, be angry. In fact, the fire in the Flame Mountain is not caused by the powerful Bull Demon King."

Yes, it was the trouble caused by the Great Sage in the past." When the two gods saw Sun Wukong staring angrily at his words, and the majestic aura pressing down on him, he could hardly stand, so they hurriedly said, "Don't be impatient, Great Sage.

Let’s look at the original identity of the little god, maybe the great sage can recall it.” After saying that, the land and the mountain god flashed with light, but they appeared in different clothes. At this time, the land was not as old and wretched as before, wearing a Bagua Taoist robe.

Holding a fly whisk, he looked like a little Taoist priest, and the mountain god did not have his arms bare. He was wearing the armor of a heavenly soldier, and he looked majestic with a halberd in his hand.

"You were originally from Heaven, but somehow you were sent down from Heaven to serve as the Mountain God and Land in this remote place?" Sun Wukong looked at the changed Mountain God and Land in front of him and asked with some confusion, "Is it because of this?

Why did I come to this remote corner because of you? But in my impression, I have never seen you two before, or are you two guys trying to trick me?"

"Don't be anxious, great sage, and listen to the details of the little god." Seeing that Sun Wukong was a little angry and wanted to hit himself on the head with his stick, the mountain god and the earth hurriedly waved their hands and explained, "The two of us are not others, but the former Tushita

The alchemy boy and the guardian god who guarded the Bagua furnace in the palace, but at that time, the Great Sage was locked in the Bagua furnace for refining by Taishang Laojun. He escaped from the Bagua furnace and pushed the furnace to the earth, whereupon he transformed into

The Flame Mountain here, the flame in the Flame Mountain is the infinite true fire of Samadhi, so the Great Sage will be afraid, and because of that disaster, the two of us were punished by the Emperor of Heaven to be earth mountain gods here.

Just wait until the calamity is over, and then return to the heaven to answer the decree. So this is the retribution of cause and effect. I also ask the Great Sage to quickly go and ask for the banana fan to extinguish the flames here. Once the flames are extinguished in the Flame Mountain, Bao Zun Master will have no worries in his journey to the west.

Secondly, you can eliminate the fire hazard here forever and keep this place safe; thirdly, you can understand our fate and return our status as gods."

"So it's my old grandson's fault." Sun Wukong was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He immediately put away the Ruyi golden cudgel he waved in the air, smiled and said to the mountain god and the land, "In that case, my old grandson I must go to Ji Lei Mountain to convince my brother, the Bull Demon King, to lend my grandson the banana fan and surrender the Flame Mountain here to atone for my grandson's sins." After saying that, Sun Wukong flew south through the clouds and mist.

The terrain of Jilei Mountain is high and dangerous, and the scenery is beautiful and unique. There are poems to prove it: high or not, the top is covered with green mountains; big or small, the roots are rooted in the yellow spring. The sun is warm in front of the mountain, but the wind is cold behind the mountain. The sun is warm in front of the mountain, and there are three winters where the vegetation is ignorant; The wind behind the ridge is cold, and the ice and frost in the nine summers have not melted. The long pond is connected to the stream, and the tiger's den is on the cliff. The flowers bloom early. The water flow is like flying qiong, and the flowers bloom like brocade. The bay is surrounded by trees on the ridge, and there are forked stones. There are pine trees outside. It’s really high mountains, steep ridges, steep cliffs, deep ravines, fragrant flowers, beautiful fruits, red vines, purple bamboos, green pines, and green willows: Eight Sections The color does not change in four seasons, and looks like a dragon for thousands of years. (Excerpted from Journey to the West)….

Sun Wukong lowered his head and walked towards the Thunder Mountain. The tree-lined paths along the way were quite beautiful. Unfortunately, Sun Wukong was a monkey king with an impatient temper. He could not match the literary style and diction of those literati and poets. He only found a quiet place. The trail then ran to the other end. After walking for about an hour, Ji Lei Mountain was indeed a fox cave. It really had the characteristics of the fox tribe, but the cave was difficult to find.

Just when Sun Wukong couldn't find Namoyun Cave and was feeling extremely anxious, he suddenly saw a woman carrying a flower basket under a pine tree in front of her. She is very beautiful and petite, but Sun Wukong has cultivated his piercing eyes, and he can see through this woman's true form at a glance. She is actually a fox who has cultivated into a human form.

After thinking about it, Sun Wukong knew that the woman in front of him might be the jade-faced fox in Namoyun Cave or some of the maids. However, Sun Wukong then thought about it, how could any of the maids be so beautiful? The Jade Faced Princess herself, who seduced the eldest brother Bull Demon King and caused discord in the Bull Demon King family, looked at the woman in front of her, Sun Wukong, and smiled sinisterly, but it was Sun Wukong who thought of a way to force out his brother.

"Where does this female donor want to go?" Sun Wukong suddenly appeared in front of the woman and asked with a smile. This move frightened the woman quite a bit. After the woman calmed down, Sun Wukong smiled and asked, " I am the envoy sent by the Iron Fan woman from Bajiao Cave in Cuiyun Mountain. I want to find my king to return to Cuiyun Mountain. I just don’t know where Namoyun Cave is. I wonder if the female benefactor might be able to guide me?”

"How dare you send an envoy to my precious mountain, this wretched maid?" The woman couldn't help but became furious when she heard this, and cursed, "I have been in love with the Dali Niu King here for many years, and this wretched maid still doesn't know how to give in. Today, before sending the envoy I came here to look for you, and I will come in person tomorrow. I, the king, am very busy with affairs. If I am not in the cave one day, and that cheap maid happens to come looking for me, it will not be my fate. You can go alone."

When Sun Wukong heard the woman's words, he immediately knew that the woman in front of him was Princess Jade Face, the sinner who destroyed the harmony of the powerful Bull Demon King's family. He thought that using violence at this time might anger the fox, and his brother might take action in anger. But on the other side, Princess Iron Fan was able to get the kindness of Princess Iron Fan. What’s more, I came here to find my brother, and I was already very angry. This fox is just a wild spirit, but he dared to swear in front of me? Thinking about this Sun Wukong waved his right hand to reveal the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and hit the face of the woman in front of him. He also cursed: "You bitch, don't talk too much. You have ruined the harmony of my old brother's family, and now you are helpless in front of my old grandson." You are extremely polite, please give me a stick from my old grandson." After saying this, he hit him with a stick.

The woman saw the monkey in front of her violently hurting someone, and did not react for a moment. When she woke up, she saw the Ruyi Golden Cudgel coming towards the door. She hurriedly cast a spell and escaped to Moyun Cave, her own cave, but...

Unexpectedly, the monkey behind him was so entangled that the woman turned pale and her hands and feet were cold. Soon she could see the stone door of her cave. The woman shouted loudly: "My lord, please save me. My lord, please save me."

help me"

"This shrew is of some use. She knew that my old grandson was looking for his brother, but she shouted out for me at the door." Sun Wukong smiled slightly, and then the auspicious clouds under his feet suddenly rose and he swung his stick at the woman's back, but it was

Sun Wukong didn't want to leave this banshee here, and wanted to eradicate it, but he didn't want the Ruyi Golden Cudgel to hit the woman's back, but was blocked by a big knife.

Sun Wukong looked intently and saw that the person coming was the powerful Bull Demon King who had not been seen for more than five hundred years. He sighed slightly, took away the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and saluted the Bull Demon King with a smile and said: "Brother is well, do you still recognize my little brother?"

?" As he said this, Sun Wukong raised his head and looked at the Bull Demon King in front of him. He saw that the Bull Demon King had a shiny silver wrought iron helmet on his head, splendid mink velvet gold armor on his body, rhinoceros leather boots with tiger fangs on his feet, and rhinoceros leather boots on his waist.

There is a three-stranded lion belt standing in the middle, and he is holding a long-handled sword in his hand, which looks majestic and imposing...

"Why did you, such a ruthless monkey, come here to provoke my wife and I instead of protecting your master Tang Sanzang on his journey to the west?" The powerful Bull Demon King glanced at the monkey head in front of him and knew that the person coming was his sworn brother from the past, and he made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace.

Sun Wukong, who was later crushed by Sakyamuni Buddha at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, but who recently worshiped the Buddha, said, "I heard that I was in Huoyun Cave before, but thanks to my brother's intervention, my poor child was almost taken away by Guanyin of the South China Sea.

If it weren’t for the brotherhood between you and me, I would have chopped you to death a long time ago, Lao Niu. Now it’s better to leave quickly and don’t force me, Lao Niu, to take action.”

Sun Wukong looked at the closed door of Moyun Cave, smiled and said to the powerful Bull Demon King: "Why is my brother so out of touch? I haven't seen my brother since I escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, but I came here today to ask for something.

As for my brother's child, I'm sorry for my helplessness. Although my brother's child is not strong, he has the ability to cultivate the Samadhi True Fire. He took my grandson's master Tang Sanzang. My grandson first tried to persuade me, but it's a pity that my nephew can't

He was willing to let people go, and even set fire to commit murder. I, the old grandson, had no choice but to ask Master Guanyin to take action. As for the incident, my brother must also be aware of it. I, the old grandson, will not go into details. I came here just to ask for help.

Once a treasure is borrowed, it will be returned to my brother soon."

"What kind of treasure do you want to lend me? Why?" The powerful bull demon frowned when he heard this, and looked at Sun Wukong with a pair of bull eyes and asked, "Don't lie to me, old cow. With the brotherhood between you and me, if it is an ordinary treasure, I will

Lao Niu will not be stingy, he will give it to you, but the ugly words are ahead. I, Lao Niu, only lend you treasures for the sake of brotherhood. The previous enmity between you and my child will be forgotten. After all, my child has worshiped in Penglai.

It is also his fate to be a disciple. Lao Niu’s treasures will not be lent to Buddhist disciples, so if you want to use them to protect your master’s journey to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures, I am sorry that Lao Niu is unable to help.”

"It's unfortunate that my old grandson wanted to borrow my brother's banana fan, but we couldn't because we had to go to the Flame Mountain. We went to Cuiyun Mountain to visit my brother before, but we couldn't. We also offended my sister-in-law and was deceived by her with a fake fan.

After a while, I had no choice but to come here and ask my brother for help." Sun Wukong couldn't help but frowned when he heard the words of the Bull Demon King, but now the Flame Mountain is a big deal, and it can't be delayed like this, so Sun Wukong still has to ask for the treasure.

.

"So do you want to borrow my Lao Niu's treasure or to escort your master to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures?" The Dali Niu Demon King frowned upon hearing this, "Listening to your words, you have been to Cuiyun Mountain before? Did you bully Tie?

Fan?" At this point, the Bull Demon King raised the sword in his hand and started to take action, "I, Old Niu, still care about brotherhood, and don't want to be rough with you here. If you leave by yourself, I, Old Niu, will

I won’t pursue the previous matter of bullying my sister-in-law and killing my concubine.”

"Brother, it seems that today's battle is unavoidable." Sun Wukong was a little helpless after hearing this. The relationship between Sun Wukong and the Bull Demon King in the past can be explained clearly in one word. The relationship between the Bull Demon King and Sun Wukong is also expressed in words.

Yes, in the Water Curtain Cave, the Bull Demon King guided Sun Wukong to enter the Taoist gate, and he learned the ancient secrets and the dangers of practicing Taoism. When Sun Wukong caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the Bull Demon King originally wanted to help Sun Wukong, but was persuaded by Sun Wukong.

In addition, the ones fighting were former Jie Jiao disciples, and the Bull Demon King was not easy to take action, so there was no help. However, the friendship between the Bull Demon King and Sun Wukong cannot be denied.

"I haven't fought with you for more than five hundred years. Today I will abandon all these miscellaneous things. I will have a good fight with you and see if your ability has declined after being held down by the five-finger mountain for five hundred years.

"The Bull Demon King laughed loudly when he heard this. After saying this, he saw black clouds rising under the Bull Demon King's feet. Then the Bull Demon King turned into a black light and flew towards Sun Wukong. He fiercely slashed the big sword at Sun Wukong's head.

With a "clang" sound, Sun Wukong raised the Ruyi Golden Cudgel to block the Bull Demon King's sword. Unexpectedly, the Bull Demon King's sword was so powerful that a circle around Sun Wukong had collapsed, raising dust in bursts.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong also burst out laughing. He shook his body and showed the appearance he had when he was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace. He waved the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and started fighting with the Bull Demon King. A ball of black energy and a ball of golden auspicious light collided violently in the air.

I heard "ping pong ping pong", and from time to time there was energy leaking from the air and hitting the ground, and there was a "boom" sound.

"Hey, your monkey-headed skills haven't deteriorated at all. You can still keep up with my old cow's skills." The Bull Demon King laughed loudly, then recited the formula, transformed into a size of ten thousand feet, and swung the machete to hit Sun Wukong's face.

Not to be outdone, Sun Wukong burst into laughter and waved the Ruyi Golden Cudgel to greet him. The two then started fighting again...
