Chapter 79: Pigsy and Sha Wujing are Captured

Seeing the reactions of his disciples, Tang Sanzang knew that they all disagreed with the rescue, and immediately became angry: “We are monks, we should take it as our duty to eliminate demons and subdue monsters. Now that the monster has openly captured someone, are we just going to ignore it?

What kind of scriptures are we going to obtain, and what kind of Buddha are we going to cultivate like this?”

“We beg the elders to be merciful and use their supernatural powers to subdue that monster.”

King Baoxiang and all the ministers bowed and pleaded.

Tang Sanzang said, “Wukong… even you are unwilling to take action?”

Sun Wukong suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed, and wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

He, Old Sun, has always been straightforward. If he encountered such injustice in the past, he would have dared to fight and kill. When did he become so hesitant?

Is it because this monster might have a powerful background?

Is it because this monster has a True Buddha Relic in its belly, making it not so easy to defeat?

Sun Wukong looked at his two junior brothers and said, “Master is right. If we hadn’t encountered this, it would be fine. But since we have encountered it, and we ignore it, how will we have any face in the future if this gets out?

Moreover, Bai Hua Xiu just risked her life to save Master.

A weak woman can still risk everything to save others, and we have so much magical power, yet we are now even inferior to a weak woman?”

Upon hearing this, Pigsy, although dissatisfied, didn’t say anything more.

Sha Wujing nodded, “We shouldn’t stand by and watch people die. Big Brother’s lesson is right!”

Bai Ze watched from the side. He had read the brocade pouch brought by Muzha in advance, and knew that this tribulation was about not forgetting kindness and not standing by when seeing death. It seemed that the pilgrimage group was almost through it.

How to fight and kill the monster and how to rescue them was not so important.

If they were to abandon Princess Bai Hua Xiu for their own selfish reasons and their own safety, then this tribulation would be a failure.

If one of the eighty-one tribulations failed, the pilgrimage would be unsuccessful, and the pilgrimage group could be disbanded. The Buddhist and Daoist sects would naturally re-select suitable candidates to complete this task.

Seeing that Tang Elder’s disciples had made up their minds, the old king and all the ministers were delighted. They bowed and said, “Thank you for your mercy, elders!”

At this time, Sun Wukong looked at his two junior brothers. That monster had a True Buddha Relic, so it was not so easy to deal with.

Pigsy and Sha Seng only saw the Buddhist light in the monster’s cave, but they didn’t know that the monster had a relic. Wukong prepared to tease his two junior brothers.

He then said, “My two junior brothers, this is a great achievement. Defeating the monster and saving the weak woman is not only a great merit, but it will also bring glory to your faces if it gets out.

This time, I, your big brother, won’t compete with you. I’ll give all the credit to you.”

Sha Wujing happily said, “Then, thank you so much, Big Brother!”

“Would you be so kind?” Pigsy muttered quietly, but he was also happy in his heart.

After all, he was once Marshal Tianpeng, and with Sha Wujing, who was a former imperial guard, even if the monster had some background, the two of them together could easily take him down.

This could also be considered an achievement.

The old king and all the ministers bowed again, “Then we will trouble the two elders. I have prepared a vegetarian feast in the palace, waiting for the two elders to return triumphantly.”

“Yes, just by looking at the two elders, we know they are brave and powerful, and they will surely be able to defeat that monster.”

“It seems that it won’t be long before the two elders return victorious.”

All the ministers praised them, which made Sha Seng and Pigsy, who were already greedy for merit, even more elated.

“Don’t praise us, I, Old Zhu, will go and defeat that monster and bring back your princess,” said Pigsy.

Sha Wujing was also full of vigor, “Don’t worry, Second Senior Brother and I will be right back. You all just wait here for a moment.”

The two of them flew into the sky and headed straight for the monster’s cave.

Sun Wukong scratched his head and laughed strangely. He knew that these two would definitely not gain any advantage from this trip. He was just waiting for them to return in a sorry state, and then he would go and capture the monster himself, which would greatly enhance his own reputation.

On the other side, Bai Ze jumped off the yellow ox and said to the king, “Old man, our people have gone to help you rescue your daughter. Are you just going to let us starve like this?

Hurry up and bring out all the good food and drinks. My old ox and I are already starving!”

“Okay, okay, I’ll arrange it right away. I’ll have them prepare the meal.”

On the other side, Pigsy and Sha Wujing were calling out in front of the monster’s cave. The wolf monster, carrying the Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Blade, came out with a group of little demons.

The Yellow Robe Monster said, “I have already released your master. Why are you still coming to cause trouble?”

Pigsy said, “You captured the princess of Baoxiang Kingdom and imprisoned her for thirteen years. You monster have committed too much evil. My junior brother and I have come to capture you.”

Sha Wujing shouted, “Monster, quickly release that princess!”

The Yellow Robe Monster yelled ‘ya ya ya’ in a chaotic manner, waving the big blade in his hand: “You are bullying me too much. I was minding my own business and didn’t provoke you, yet you want to take my wife and children. Today, we must have a showdown!”

◈◈◈

Both sides flew into the air, and in a moment, they were fighting together.

Clang clang, bang bang, boom boom.

After only a dozen rounds, Pigsy and Sha Wujing were shocked. They had thought that with the two of them combined, they would take down the Yellow Robe Monster in three or five moves.

However, they could not defeat the Yellow Robe Monster, and were even slightly at a disadvantage.

How could this monster have such magical power?

Pigsy and Sha Wujing were both True Immortals, at the late Yang Spirit Realm, while the Yellow Robe Monster was only at the mid Yang Spirit Realm. There was a big difference in their cultivation levels.

Moreover, Pigsy and Sha Seng were two against one. How could they not defeat the Yellow Robe Monster?

This was naturally due to the effect of the True Buddha Relic inside the Yellow Robe Monster’s body.

Pigsy and Sha Seng suddenly thought of the monkey’s face. Yes, yes, they had been tricked by that monkey. That monkey must have known that the Yellow Robe Monster was not easy to deal with, so he deliberately let them two make a fool of themselves, and even said he would give them the credit?

The Yellow Robe Monster slashed down with his blade, leaving blade marks on the ground.

Pigsy’s rake and Sha Wujing’s monk’s staff also shattered countless rocks.

At this time, the two sides had already fought for dozens of rounds. The Yellow Robe Monster suddenly slashed out a blade wind towards Pigsy with his right hand.

Then he lifted his left hand, and his sleeve suddenly grew larger, knocking Sha Wujing away. Before Sha Wujing could steady himself, he was entangled by the sleeve.

“Not good, let’s run, let’s run.”

Seeing that he could not defeat the Yellow Robe Monster, Pigsy raised his rake and tried to escape on the clouds.

“Hmph!”

The Yellow Robe Monster snorted coldly, and then made a hand seal with one hand: “You want to escape? Not so easy. Watch my yellow robe!”

Pigsy thought he had escaped, but how could he have known that the monster’s yellow robe suddenly covered the sky and directly enveloped Pigsy.

The yellow robe gradually contracted, and finally, it was like a sack, with two wriggling things inside, which were naturally Pigsy and Sha Seng.

“You dead monster, you stinky monster, let us go. My master and big brother are in the capital of Baoxiang Kingdom. If we don’t return soon, they will definitely come to settle the score with you,” said Pigsy.

“That’s right, monster, let us go,” said Sha Wujing.

“You guys should just be quiet!”

The Yellow Robe Monster punched and kicked the two of them, making Pigsy and Sha Seng wail repeatedly.

“Little ones, carry these two into the cave for me.”

A group of little wolf demons used Binding Immortal Ropes to tie up Pigsy and Sha Seng, and with a lot of noise, carried them into the cave.

Over there, Princess Bai Hua Xiu was shocked. Who knew that this monster was so powerful that even the two elders together were no match for him.

The Yellow Robe Monster stepped forward and grabbed Bai Hua Xiu’s arm: “You woman, why are you so ungrateful? I have never treated you badly, and I have always been obedient to you. Yet you actually joined forces with outsiders to deal with your own husband?!”

Bai Hua Xiu’s wrist was hurting from the grip. She said, “Great King, what are you talking about? When did I join forces with outsiders to harm you?”

The Yellow Robe Monster pointed at Pigsy and Sha Seng: “Didn’t you ask them to come and save you?”

Bai Hua Xiu burst into tears: “I have been away from home for thirteen years. I miss my parents. What is wrong with asking Tang Sanzang to take a letter to my father to report my safety?

How can you know that I wanted them to come and save me?”

“Is that so?”

The monster fell into thought, then kicked Sha Wujing and asked, “Did she ask you to come and save her?”

Sha Wujing knew that if he told the truth, Bai Hua Xiu would surely die, so he said, “You monster, how can you not trust your own wife?

Naturally, the old king of Baoxiang Kingdom received the letter and, missing his daughter, asked my senior brother and me to come and rescue her.”

Upon hearing this, the Yellow Robe Monster immediately released Bai Hua Xiu and apologized with a smile: “Wife, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have doubted you.”

“It’s good that Great King knows!” Bai Hua Xiu flicked her sleeves and left.

At this time, the Yellow Robe Monster was worried. In the past, when he was in the Heavenly Realm, he had seen Wukong make a great disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, and he knew that the monkey was capable. If that monkey came looking for him, what would he do?

The Yellow Robe Monster thought for a while and came up with a plan. If the old king recognized him as his son-in-law, could the monkey still interfere in other people’s private matters?

“It seems I need to make a trip to the capital of Baoxiang Kingdom!”

The Yellow Robe Monster rode the black wind and yellow sand, heading straight for the capital of Baoxiang Kingdom.
