I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 166: Carrying a horse and galloping to catch Tang Monk

Chapter 166: Carrying a horse and galloping to catch Tang Monk

The mountain path was covered with layers of fallen leaves, which were a little slippery for horse hooves to step on. Xiaobailong and Zhu Bajie stood on each side, carefully leading the purple dragon horse.

Sun Wukong walked in front, looking at the layers of leaves on the ground in front of him. He raised his hand and used his golden cudgel to push away the spider webs and dead branches between the branches.

Sha Seng walked at the end, carrying his load and keeping his head down as he hurried on his way.

Tang Seng looked up at the sky and saw that it was clear and bright, with a crisp autumn air. He said, “Fortunately, it is late autumn, otherwise this road would be so difficult to walk on. If it were the dog days of summer, it would be even more difficult.”

As soon as Tang Seng said this, Zhu Bajie said, “Master, you are riding on a horse, your feet are not moving, your hands are not shaking, and you are just saying some sarcastic words here. If you think it is difficult to walk, then the Purple Dragon Horse has not said anything yet.”

Little White Dragon glanced at Purple Dragon Horse and said with a smile, “Third Junior Brother, Purple Dragon Horse can’t speak.”

Sun Wukong turned around and said with a smile: “Fool, Master is a mortal. The journey to the West to obtain the scriptures is long and difficult. If I don’t ride a horse, am I going to ride a pig like you?”

Zhu Bajie said, “You, the Horse Keeper, should just explore your way ahead. Why are you interrupting me?”

When Sun Wukong heard this, he jumped to Zhu Bajie’s side, stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhu Bajie’s ear and lifted him up. Zhu Bajie immediately screamed in pain.

“Hey, idiot, what did you call me just now?” Sun Wukong exerted force with his hands and pulled one of the pig’s ears until it became long.

Zhu Bajie begged for mercy: “Brother, please forgive me, my ears hurt.”

“You also feel the pain. One day I will cut off your ear and eat it with wine.” Sun Wukong said with a smile.

Zhu Bajie quickly said to Tang Seng: “Master, please save my disciple. I am about to be eaten by someone with wine.”

Seeing his disciples fighting, Tang Seng smiled and said, “Who told you to be so talkative? It’s fine if you talk about the master, but your eldest brother won’t tolerate your temper.”

“Master, I was wrong, wrong.” Zhu Bajie said repeatedly.

When Tang Seng saw that he admitted his mistake, he said to Sun Wukong, “Wukong, just teach him a lesson. I am a little hungry now. Go to the front and see if there is any family there to get some vegetarian food.”

Sun Wukong responded and let go of Zhu Bajie’s ear, then said to Tang Seng: “Master, wait a moment, I will go to the front to take a look.”

After saying that, Sun Wukong leaped up on a cloud and flew over one mountain after another in a moment. Finally, he saw a manor at the foot of Ziluo Mountain.

Sun Wukong looked from afar and saw with his flaming eyes that there were auspicious clouds all over the sky above the manor. He was slightly startled and thought to himself, “Looking at this auspicious aura, it must be a Bodhisattva or a True Lord. I wonder why it has landed here.”

“Never mind him. I’m just here to beg for some vegetarian food. Why should I care so much?” Saying this, Sun Wukong immediately flew down towards the house in the manor.

When he landed in front of the gate of the manor, he knocked on the door and shouted, “Is anyone there? Is anyone there?”

“Yes, yes, here I come.” An old voice came from the courtyard, and soon the gate opened, and an old woman appeared in front of Sun Wukong.

The old woman took one look at it and said with disgust: “Where did this monkey come from? Why is it so ugly?”

Sun Wukong smiled and said, “Granny, I am ugly, but I have a kind heart and I know the way and manners. Now I am protecting my master Tang Sanzang on his way to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. I am passing by here and I am very hungry and thirsty, so I came here to beg for some vegetarian food. I hope you will be generous with your alms.”

“Journey to the West? Who is your master? Does he have the ability to go to the West to obtain the scriptures?” the old woman said disdainfully.

Sun Wukong said: “My master is a great monk from the Tang Dynasty in the East. He was chosen by Guanyin Bodhisattva to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures.”

“Since you are a great monk, it’s good. We sisters have been worshipping Buddha since we were in our mother’s wombs, and we have a basic understanding of Buddhism. You can bring your master here to explain Buddhism to us. If he does a good job, we will provide you with vegetarian meals. If he does not do well, please go beg for alms somewhere else.” said the old woman.

Hearing the old woman’s words, Sun Wukong looked behind her and saw that there was another old woman standing there with dignity and grace.

Sun Wukong blinked his eyes and concluded that the two old women in front of him were definitely not ordinary mortals, so he smiled and said, “It’s just that there are so many of us, and I’m afraid your family won’t have enough food.”

The old woman at the door heard this and said, “The rice pile in my warehouse is higher than a mountain. How can it not feed you monks?”

“Okay, since that’s the case, I’ll go see my master.” Sun Wukong said.

The old woman said, “Just go ahead.”

Sun Wukong nodded and was about to leave when he heard the old woman say, “By the way, you guys better be careful. There is a monster called Tiger Spirit King in this mountain. He is very powerful. Don’t get captured by him.”

Sun Wukong smiled and said, “Thank you for the reminder, grandma. But I, Sun Wukong, have great abilities and am not afraid of any monster.” After saying that, Sun Wukong stepped on the cloud and flew back to where he came from.

Just when Sun Wukong flew above the mountain where Tang Seng and his party were, he saw a black mist rushing down from the mountain and heading straight towards where Tang Seng was.

Sun Wukong was shocked. He just mentioned the monster and it came unexpectedly.

As a last resort, Sun Wukong immediately flew down, raised his golden cudgel and hit the black fog.

The black fog suddenly stopped, and then turned into a tiger monster with a tiger head and a human body, mighty and majestic, holding a sword in his hand.

As soon as the monster appeared, a burst of tiger power poured out instantly, frightening the horses and people. At the same time, a strong wind blew through the forest. For a while, the wind howled and dark clouds covered the sky. Xiao Bailong immediately summoned the Fire Sword and shouted, “Bajie, Junior Brother Sha, protect Master!”

After saying that, Xiao Bailong rushed towards Tiger Vanguard with sword in hand. Seeing this, Tiger Vanguard took a step forward and chopped him towards him with the Tiannie Sword in his hand.

Xiao Bailong rushed forward with the sword in hand, and with a ‘clang’ sound, he cried out in pain. His palms were broken and blood was splattered. The Shuhuo sword in his hand was directly knocked away by the knife.

Xiao Bailong felt a chill in his heart, and looking at the blade that was already in front of him, he had to close his eyes in despair.

But unexpectedly, the blade suddenly turned in the air, and the back of the blade hit the little white dragon heavily.

With a loud ‘bang’, the little white dragon flew out heavily, broke three trees and fell to the ground. He took several quick breaths but couldn’t catch his breath at all. He finally took a breath through his nose and avoided suffocation.

But just as the little white dragon recovered and propped himself up, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his whole body went limp and he fell to the ground again.

At this time, Sun Wukong’s golden cudgel had already fallen. Tiger Vanguard was not afraid at all and attacked the golden cudgel head-on.

In an instant, there were clanging sounds of metal, winds raging, clouds darkening, the Tiannie Sword and the Golden Cudgel fighting back and forth, violent collisions, sparks splashing, sharp edges colliding, and strong winds blowing.

The fierce battle between Tiger Vanguard and Sun Wukong lasted for more than 300 rounds, but the two did not feel tired at all. Instead, they became more and more courageous as the battle went on.

Especially Sun Wukong, the more than 300 people in front seemed to be warming up. At this moment, the power in his hands was getting stronger and stronger, and he swung the golden cudgel at Tiger Vanguard.

“What a monster! It’s rare to find a monster that can fight with your Grandpa Sun for so many rounds. What’s your name? Tell me your name.” Sun Wukong asked Tiger Vanguard while attacking fiercely.

Although Tiger Vanguard has an indestructible body, it is far inferior to Sun Wukong’s innate indestructible body.

At this moment, under the increasingly fierce attack of Sun Wukong, Tiger Vanguard could only defend himself, and his physical strength was gradually running out. At this moment, when he heard Sun Wukong’s question, Tiger Vanguard sneered: “I will not change my name, your grandfather Tiger.”

Sun Wukong laughed and said, “Monster, why are you following me? You want to be my grandfather? Have you heard of the Monkey King who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago?”

Tiger Vanguard also laughed and said, “What is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven? He is just a minor official who raises horses for the Jade Emperor. What is his official title? Do you have the nerve to say it out loud?”

Sun Wukong immediately got angry and shouted, “Hey! You monster, Grandpa Sun is talking to you nicely but you don’t listen and you insist on asking for a beating!”

After saying that, Sun Wukong swung his golden cudgel and hit Tiger Pioneer on the head. Seeing this, Tiger Pioneer hurriedly held up his Tian Nie Sword to block it. There was a loud bang, and the Tian Nie Sword just barely caught the golden cudgel. Tiger Pioneer’s body also sank down in the air. He clenched his teeth, his veins exposed, and he used all his strength to barely withstand Sun Wukong’s terrifying strength.

At this time, Sun Wukong suppressed Tiger Vanguard with his golden cudgel while aiming his flaming eyes at Tiger Vanguard. He blinked his eyes slightly, and two golden lights shot out straight out.

The two golden lights hit Tiger Pioneer with a bang, and a puff of fire and white smoke suddenly rose from Tiger Pioneer’s body. Then Tiger Pioneer fell down like a meteor, creating a huge pit on the ground.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng stood in front of Tang Seng with nervous looks on their faces, looking at the dusty pit in front of them. Just as they were about to speak, they saw a figure suddenly fly out of the pit, and then they saw Tiger Vanguard jumped out of the pit with his skin and flesh intact except for his torn clothes.

Then a tiger shadow rose above the Tiger Vanguard’s head, and the tiger shadow opened its mouth and roared, and the “Shocking All Spirits” was activated instantly. Everyone only heard a tiger roar in their ears, and this tiger roar was full of majesty that could shock all spirits.

Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, Tang Seng and Purple Dragon Horse all felt their bodies stiffen, as if their blood had stopped flowing, and their bodies began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

Then the Tiger Vanguard raised his head and roared loudly. The roar shook the earth and invisible waves of sound spread out. It was the magical power “Shocking Roar”.

When this ‘Shocking Roar’ was uttered, even Sun Wukong’s body paused slightly, and his mind became a little dazed.

But it was only for a moment, and after a moment Sun Wukong broke free from the influence of the Shocking Roar and recovered, but Tiger Vanguard had already rushed in front of Tang Seng.

“Oh no, Master, be careful.” Sun Wukong shouted loudly, and then the golden cudgel instantly became longer and stabbed straight towards Tiger Vanguard.

Without saying a word, Tiger Vanguard raised his hands and used his magic power to tie up Tang Seng and the Purple Dragon Horse. Then he put away the Tian Nie Sword and rushed forward, picked up the Purple Dragon Horse with both hands and flew into the mountains.

At this time, the golden hoop came from behind and hit Tiger Vanguard’s lower back with a “dong”. Tiger Vanguard staggered with a “ouch”, but quickly steadied his body, and without looking back, he carried the purple dragon horse and Tang Monk on its back and went up the mountain.

Sun Wukong flew up on his somersault cloud and chased after him, shouting, “Monster, let my master go!” After that he landed in front of Tiger Vanguard and hit him with his golden cudgel.

Tiger Vanguard dodged the blow but was hit by another blow. He was knocked out on the spot, but he never dropped the Purple Dragon Horse and Tang Monk. At this moment, Sun Wukong looked at the flying Tiger Vanguard and shouted, “Stop!”

The immobilization technique was activated, and Tiger Vanguard’s body was immediately fixed in place. Sun Wukong said, “Now you will know the power of Grandpa Sun’s immobilization technique.” After saying that, he stepped forward to save Tang Seng.

But although Tiger Vanguard was immobilized, he silently said “escape” in his heart, and the immobilization spell was broken in an instant. Tiger Vanguard disappeared in front of Sun Wukong carrying the Purple Dragon Horse and Tang Monk.

Sun Wukong was greatly surprised and hurriedly followed the aura. Soon he arrived outside the Tiger Spirit Cave on the top of the mountain. Tiger Vanguard was at the entrance of the cave at this moment. He handed the Purple Dragon Horse and Tang Monk to the little demons to take them in. He stood at the entrance of the cave and smiled at Sun Wukong, “What a great sage! He is nothing more than this.”

After saying that, Tiger Vanguard immediately closed the cave door. Sun Wukong’s face turned red with anger, and he scratched his ears and cheeks. He immediately made his golden cudgel extremely huge, and with a loud shout, he smashed it directly towards the Tiger Spirit Cave.

There was a loud ‘boom’ and the entire Zi Luo Mountain Range was instantly cracked and rocks collapsed, shaking and trembling. Smoke and dust rose into the sky and the birds and beasts fled in panic.

Only the Tiger Spirit Cave remained as solid as a rock, without even a trace of crack.
