#1598 - The smell of grass! On the Bull Demon King's head
It is said that Tang Sanzang, leading his horse, walked towards the Flaming Mountains with a desolate figure.
Even the endlessly surging flames could not dispel the chill in Tang Sanzang's heart.
The group stood outside the Flaming Mountains, looking at the flames covering the mountains, and couldn't help but sigh,
"What kind of beast committed this sin, causing such suffering to the living?" Sun Wukong sighed.
He seemed to have forgotten about the time he kicked over the elixir furnace.
Traveling west, they went about forty miles, and it gradually became scorching hot.
Even Sha Wujing muttered to himself, "My feet are burning! Isn't this a bit too hot?"
Zhu Bajie glanced around and saw that the ground was like lava. Even the bodies of immortals would have difficulty walking easily.
It seemed that this flame was not an ordinary flame, otherwise it would not have persisted for so many years, and even rain could not extinguish it.
The White Dragon Horse also walked faster than usual, because the geothermal heat was incessant, making it very difficult to move forward.
The closer they got to the heart of the flames, the more they felt the danger within.
Sun Wukong, holding the banana leaf fan, said, "Brothers, don't move. Wait for me to fan the fire out, and after the wind and rain, when the ground is cooler, we'll cross the mountain."
Sun Wukong raised the fan and went to the edge of the fire, fanning with all his might.
However, the scene that he had imagined, where a single wave could extinguish the endless flames, did not appear.
On the contrary, it could be seen that with this fan, a spiritual energy from the banana leaf fan entered the flames, not only not extinguishing the fire, but making the flames on the mountain rise even higher!
Sun Wukong, unwilling to admit defeat, fanned again, even a hundred times harder, and with another fan, the fire was thousands of feet high, even turning into a fire dragon, rushing towards the group!
This power, even a Da Luo Golden Immortal, would find it difficult to resist!
Chu Hao narrowed his eyes and gently raised his hand, blocking the fire dragon from reaching them, otherwise something might happen to Tang Sanzang if they were hit.
"The fan, it's fake, isn't it?" Chu Hao said.
Sun Wukong's face turned ashen.
"Damn Rakshasi, I, Old Sun, have spared her many times, and she still dares to trick me with a fake fan!"
Sun Wukong was now really angry. He had already been delayed in the Banana Cave for a long time, and originally thought that he could pass this difficulty once he received the fan.
He didn't expect her to be so shameless, giving him a fake fan! This was simply mocking him!
"Boss, what do we do now? Go back and ask that Rakshasi for it?" Zhu Bajie said.
However, Tang Sanzang's eyes lit up, ah? Could he see Princess Iron Fan again?
"This time I'll turn into a bug!" Tang Sanzang said happily.
He exposed himself immediately!
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, "Master, you were almost burned to death just now, how can you still be so optimistic?"
Tang Sanzang smiled gently.
"Wukong, how can you understand human emotions? Even if you fix the Seventh Princess in place, you would only be kneading mud on the side."
Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow. It seemed that his master was criticizing him, but it didn't seem wrong. If it were him, he would indeed be kneading mud on the side.
Chu Hao shook his head, "According to the nature of the Western Heavens, since it is done on purpose, there must be an NPC to explain the reason."
As soon as Chu Hao finished speaking, a voice came from afar,
"Everyone, don't worry, come and have some vegetarian food before discussing it!"
Sun Wukong secretly raised his golden cudgel, preparing to give this NPC from the Western Heavens a good beating, to avenge the Western Heavens' trickery.
However, Chu Hao stopped him, "Don't rush to hit him, wait for him to finish speaking."
Only then did Sun Wukong put away his golden cudgel,
However, the three fellow disciples very tacitly and skillfully surrounded the newcomer.
This formation was the same formation used to trap the Lingji Bodhisattva!
Very clever.
The man came to the group and respectfully bowed, saying:
"I am the local deity of the Flaming Mountains, knowing that the Great Sage is protecting the Holy Monk, unable to move forward, I specially offer a vegetarian meal."
Sun Wukong lazily said, "Eating vegetarian is not urgent, we'll have a feast later. You just say when this fire will be extinguished, so that my master can pass?"
The local deity was stunned for a moment, what feast?
However, he relied on controlling the lifeline of the Journey to the West group, saying:
"To extinguish the fire, you must ask Rakshasi to borrow the banana leaf fan."
Sun Wukong was furious, gritting his teeth and holding the fan he had just used, grabbing the local deity's collar, lifting the local deity three feet off the ground: "Isn't this it? The more I fan, the more the fire burns, why are you telling me this?!"
The local deity was very calm, smiling and saying, "This fan is not real, she tricked you."
Familiar routine, the Western Heavens especially likes to let these strange people act as guides. This is also the way the Western Heavens designates the people of the Journey to the West to quell disasters. Next, this local deity will definitely point out the task.
Sun Wukong frowned, and said gloomily, "How can I get the real one?"
The local deity bowed again and smiled slightly, "If you still want to borrow the real banana leaf fan, you must seek the Bull Demon King."
Then Sun Wukong snorted and sneered.
Even Zhu Bajie coldly scoffed.
Sure enough, the Western Heavens never lets the Journey to the West group have it easy, just playing with them, just watching the fun on the side, calling it a disaster.
Anyway, it's just repeating and repeating and repeating, if it weren't for the fact that everyone's strength is not enough now, they would have already attacked the Western Heavens, snatched the Buddhist scriptures, and become Buddhas, and the Western Heavens would be in charge of themselves in the future.
The local deity didn't care about Tang Sanzang and the others' attitude at all. In his opinion, you can't escape the palm of the Western Heavens anyway, no matter what I say, won't you still have to listen obediently?
The local deity continued:
"I think you all already know, that the Bull Demon King is Rakshasi's husband."
Sun Wukong impatiently said:
"You just say, where is the Bull Demon King now!"
The local deity smiled, "He is not near the Flaming Mountains, he abandoned Rakshasi some time ago, and is now in the Jilei Mountain Moyun Cave.
There is a Fox King of Ten Thousand Years, that Fox King died, leaving behind a daughter, named Jade Face Princess. That princess has millions of fortunes, with no one to manage it.
Two years ago, hearing that the Bull Demon King was powerful, she was willing to pay all the dowry, and recruit him as her husband. That Bull King abandoned Rakshasi, and has not looked back for a long time. If the Great Sage finds the Bull King, and begs him to come here, then you can borrow the real fan. First, to fan out the flames, to protect the master from moving forward; second, to permanently eliminate the fire, to protect the living beings here; third, to pardon me and return to heaven, to return the decree to Lao Jun."
The local deity's undisguised confidence was on his face. That's right, the local deity dared to be so arrogant, for only one reason, he was a person of Taishang Laojun.
It's not been a day or two since Taishang Laojun intervened in the Journey to the West.
It is also normal to occasionally arrange for a subordinate to brush karma in the Journey to the West.
It's just that Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing's eyes gradually sharpened.
Chu Hao had been silent on the side, anyway, he was tired of seeing this kind of routine, he thought it had nothing to do with him, but...
【Ah, I smell it, the smell of green grass! On top of the Bull Demon King's head!】
