In the twenty-fourth chapter, the three of them went to the western paradise. The golden cicada shed its shell, and the tiger spirit caught Tang Sanzang.
It was said that Zhu Tian and Gao Cuilan were extremely affectionate in their boudoir. Meanwhile, the monkey was guarding the door outside. It was not easy to wait until dawn, but Zhu Tian refused to come out no matter what.
After the rooster crowed three times, the monkey had knocked on the door six times. It was so anxious that it scratched its ears and cheeks, jumping up and down, scolding Zhu Tian for not keeping his word! Later on, Gao Cuilan begged him softly and cut her hair to show her ambition, willing to wait for him for the rest of her life. Zhu Tiancai was reluctant to part with her, and he turned his head back with every step he took.
When Monkey saw Zhu Tian come out, he could not care less about scolding him and hurriedly pulled him back to the guest room. As soon as the two of them returned, the sleepyhead lost its effect. Old Grand Duke Gao, Tang Sanzang, and the others all stood up.
After the vegetarian meal, the old man presented two hundred taels of scattered gold and silver and three cotton cloths as a gift of thanks. Tang Sanzang naturally did not want it, so he rambled on and on about how the wandering monk only ate and begged for food, and did not dare to receive gold and clothes.
However, Zhu Tian hated this Old Grand Duke Gao for breaking up his marriage, so he took a step forward and grabbed a bunch of them. Then he shouted indignantly,"It's fine if you don't want it, but I, Old Pig, have been his son-in-law for several years. I've worked hard for him and earned a lot." Now that I'm gone, shouldn't you give me some money for my hard work? Also, I'm already a monk. Old man, give me a green brocade kasaya and a pair of good new shoes to make me look strong!”
Seeing Zhu Tian's hateful expression, Grand Grandfather Gao did not dare to refuse. He could only order a servant to buy a kasaya and shoes for Zhu Tian.
Zhu Tian changed into his kasaya and put on his new shoes. After he put the silver into his pocket, he still felt uneasy. "Lord Taishan, you must take good care of my wife!" Don't let her get sick, and don't let her get married again! Although I'm going to be a monk, I may not be able to get the scriptures. When the time comes, I'll still come back!”
The monkey saw that Zhu Tian was being ridiculous and quickly pulled him back. He whispered,""Don't spout nonsense. Didn't you see Master's face change?”
Zhu Tian came to his senses and quickly pretended to be wronged,"I'm just afraid that something might go wrong! What if the monk made a mistake and the wife married a mistake?”
"Idiot," said Tang Sanzang angrily. How embarrassing! Let's go!"
Zhu Tian stared blankly at Tang Sanzang's back. After a long while, he turned his head and whispered to Monkey,""Senior Brother, why is Master not nagging anymore?”
The monkey winked and smiled." Master is only long-winded when he's in a good mood. Now…Hehe, what do you think it means?"”
Just as Monkey finished speaking, Tang Sanzang shouted,""Bajie, Bajie! Come over and pick up the burden! He left early!"
Zhu Tian was stunned speechless and felt great regret in his heart! The monkey laughed evilly.
The three of them walked day and night, ate wind and water, passed Futu Mountain, met Wuchao Zen Master, and got many heart sutras. After that, he walked through the moon and the stars again and again until he was finally blocked by a tall mountain.
The mountain was extremely steep. Just as the three of them were exclaiming in admiration, a whirlwind suddenly blew. Countless tree leaves fluttered wildly in the air, and birds flew everywhere.
The wind was so strong that Tang Sanzang was shocked and couldn't help shouting,""Wukong, the wind is blowing! It's going to rain! Quickly find a place to hide!"
Zhu Tian knew that a monster would jump out in a while, so he didn't want to be nosy and said,""Master is right! Besides, it's time for dinner. Let's find a place to rest for a while and eat some vegetarian food…"
"Brother, why do you only know how to eat?" The monkey laughed. This wind was very strange. It was not the wind before the rain. There was probably something fishy about it!”
Zhu Tian saw that the monkey was ignorant and said angrily,""What's wrong? It was just an ordinary mountain wind! Brother, haven't you heard that eating is the most important thing in the world? Who cares? Let's eat first! Besides, if something really happens later, we won't be able to eat this meal…"
Before Zhu Tian could finish his sentence, he saw a colorful tiger jump out from the forest at the foot of the hill.
Tang Sanzang was a timid man. He was scared out of his wits and fell off the white horse.
Zhu Tian sighed. He knew that he could not hide anymore. He could only pretend to raise his rake and rush over while cursing,"What vile beast? Are you still going to let your Grandpa Pig eat?”
The tiger flipped over and dodged Zhu Tian's rake before standing up straight. Then, he grabbed the tiger skin and shouted,"Wait a moment. It's not too late to fight after we make things clear! This place was Yellow Wind Ridge, and within a radius of 800 miles, it was the territory of the Yellow Wind King! And my family is the vanguard of the Yellow Wind King's subordinates! Where did you come from, monk? Are you here to seek refuge or to snatch territory?”
Zhu Tian was so angry that he laughed and scolded,""You tiger demon, you really don't know Mount Tai! We are the disciples of the imperial brother of the Tang of the East. How can we seek refuge with a monster like you? Besides, we're going to the Western Paradise to obtain scriptures. What's the use of your territory? Don't say anymore, quickly get out of the way and get lost! If not, I might spare you, but this rake in my hand won't!”
The tiger demon was furious and clawed at him. How could Zhu Tian be afraid of him? He raised his rake and started to attack. The monster saw the ferocity of the rake and did not dare to block it with his body. He hurriedly rolled away and took out two red copper knives from the cracks in the stone. Then, he turned around and started fighting again.
But what kind of person was Zhu Tian? Even though he had suppressed most of his cultivation, he was still not something that this little demon could compare to. After a few rounds, the tiger spirit couldn't hold on any longer and turned to escape.
At this moment, the monkey also rushed over and shouted,"Bajie, hurry up and chase after him. Don't let him escape!”
Zhu Tian wanted to remind Monkey to go back and protect Tang Sanzang, but he thought about it again. Tang Sanzang would not die anyway, and he had nothing to gain. Why would he remind him? What if the plot changed because of this? It was better to let nature take its course.
Zhu Tian did not say anything else. He raised his rake and pretended to chase after the monkey.
After a while, the tiger spirit used a trick to escape. She covered the tiger skin on a stone and turned into the wind to leave.
Only then did the monkey come to his senses. He hurriedly turned around to look for Tang Sanzang, but it was already too late.
Zhu Tian gloated in his heart, but he said with a sad face,"Oh my god! Heavens! Why is Master missing! What should we do?"
The monkey flew into a rage and shouted,""What's the hurry? Master must have been captured by that tiger spirit! Didn't that monster say that this was the territory of the Yellow Wind King? Let's go and look for him!"
Zhu Tian replied listlessly and followed Monkey to search for the Yellow Wind King's cave abode.
Suddenly, the two of them saw a cave dwelling under a cliff.
The monkey had been tricked by a little demon and was extremely furious. When it saw that it had found its place, it was immediately overjoyed. However, he had just fallen into his trap, so he became cautious. He turned to Zhu Tian and said,"Brother, find a place to hide from the wind and watch the luggage. I'll go check out the wind first and see which monster dares to go against us.”
Zhu Tian didn't want to fight to begin with, so he nodded and said,""Alright, please be careful.”
"They're just a few little demons!" The monkey said proudly. Brother, watch my methods!"
