Chapter 54: Willing to follow the journey to the west

 Wukong said, "Are you suffering? How could it be considered suffering?"

"The elixir of Bai De soars up in the day, but the evil and chaos will only be demoted to the mortal world."

"There are so many miserable people, so what does it mean to be like you?"

These sarcastic words made the pig's hair boil with blood.

The monster said, "Don't say any more! Even if you have a copper head and a steel head, I can rake you to the point where you feel relieved!"

When the traveler heard this, he couldn't control his temper. He put away the iron rod and stood there.

He stretched his head forward and said, "Idiots, don't talk nonsense! Old Sun's head is stretched out here. Why don't you rake it and build it to see if you can calm down?"

Zhu Gangwan had never heard such a request before. He really raised the rake, pressed it down with all his strength, and rake it.

"Bang!"

Sparks and flames flew from the rake head in all directions.

He didn't even move his scalp, but his hands were numb due to the shock.

Zhu Gangyan praised him repeatedly, "What a good head! What a good head!"

Wukong said, "I don't know the origin of your rake, and you don't know Lao Sun's experience."

"My old grandson stole the elixir, the peaches, and the royal wine because of the trouble in the Heavenly Palace."

"Erlang Xiaosheng captured me in front of the bullfighting palace."

"The gods chopped Lao Sun's sword into pieces with axes, hammered and struck his sword, burned with fire and thunder, but they never harmed me in the slightest."

"Then Taishang Laojun took me and put me in the Bagua furnace and trained me with the Six Ding Shenhuo."

"I have developed my piercing eyes, my bronze head and my iron arms."

"That rake of yours was also made by that old man."

"You can build it a few more times to see whether it is the rake skill that Lao Jun has practiced or the head that Lao Jun concocted that is stronger."

Zhu Gangyan did not make any move, he asked, "You monkey, I remember that when you were making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, your family lived in the Water Curtain Cave of the Flower and Fruit Mountain in the Aolai Kingdom of Dongsheng Shenzhou."

"I haven't been famous for a long time. Why did you come to Gao Laozhuang to bully me?"

"Could it be that my father-in-law went to Aolai Country, please come with you?"

Wukong replied, "How can your father-in-law send a mortal to travel tens of thousands of miles to find me?"

"Because I, the old grandson, reformed his evil ways and returned to the right path. He abandoned his Taoism and became a monk. He protected a son of the Eastern Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. His name is now Master Li Fu Sanzang."

"Going to the West to obtain the scriptures, I passed by Gao Laozhuang and stayed overnight."

"The old man said that his daughter was imprisoned and begged me to eradicate the root cause and take care of you, the poor guy!"

When Zhu Gangyan heard this, he immediately threw away his rake and sang, "Here!"

He said, "I wonder where the Buddhist scripture seeker is? Could you please recommend me to the great sage?"

Wukong remembered his master's words, and it was just as he expected.

If he hadn't realized that Master was just a mortal, he would not have had the magical power to predict the past and present, nor would he have had the ability to plan a plot thousands of miles away.

He almost thought that the journey to the west was planned by his master.

However, if Master is just a mortal, it would be even more terrifying...

The traveler asked here, "Why do you want to see my master?"

Zhu Gangyan replied, "How can I tell you apart from my master? He is your master and he is also my master!"

"I am the Guanyin Bodhisattva who encourages good deeds. I keep the precepts and practice here, and eat vegetarian food. I am taught to wait here for the pilgrims to come, and we will go to the West together to obtain the true scriptures."

"The Bodhisattva said that only in this way can we eliminate merit and sin and obtain positive results."

"A few years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I haven't heard any news."

"I saw that you became his disciple today, why didn't you tell me earlier about learning from the scriptures?"

"Where are you trying to show off your strength and come to beat me?"

Wukong said, "Don't deceive me and think of this as a way to escape. If Guanyin Bodhisattva really said this to you, you will swear to the sky, and all the gods will know it, and I will take you to see me."

Master!"

Zhu Gang knelt down with a pop on his temples. He looked up at the sky for a long time, kowtowing like a pound of garlic.

"Amitabha! Namo Buddha!"

"If I hadn't been sincere, I would have been broken into pieces if I had violated that rule!"

When Wukong saw him making a vow, he said, "If this happens, you can light a fire and burn down your cave to avoid retreat, and I will introduce you to it."

The monster used a rake to pick up some reeds and thorns, and then burned them with fire. After a short time, the cloud stack cave was burned like a tile kiln.

Zhu Gangyan said, "I have no worries now, just lead me away."

Wukong said, "Not enough! Not enough! Give me your rake!"

Zhu Gangyan handed the rake to Sun Xingzhe.

Wukong plucked three vellus hairs, blew on the immortal energy, and said, "Change!"

The vellus hair turns into a three-strand hemp rope.

He threw it to the monster and said, "Tie yourself up!"

Zhu Gangyan was indeed obedient and tied himself up.

After Wukong finished tying, he tied another knot.

He pulled Zhu Gang's ears and said, "Let's go! Let's go!"

Zhu Gangyan shouted, "Take it easy! Take it easy! Take it easy, take it easy!"

"Your hands are too heavy, my ears hurt!"

Wukong said, "It's impossible to be light! It's impossible to be light!"

"I will only let you go after meeting my master and if you are sincere!"

Wukong rode up on the clouds, filled with mist, and arrived at Gaolaozhuang.

The traveler carried his rake with one hand and held his ear with the other.

He shouted into that ear, "Look who is sitting in that hall?"

"That's my teacher!"

Old Mrs. Gao and his relatives and friends suddenly saw a walker with a hairy face and a thunderous mouth. He tied up a pig monster and pulled his ears. They were all overjoyed and welcomed him into the courtyard.

Old Mrs. Gao said, "Elder! Elder! You really have great supernatural powers! This is the monster who wants to be my son-in-law!"

Zhu Gangwen stepped forward and ignored the mortals of the Gao family.

He knelt down on his knees, kowtowed three times to Li Fu with his hands behind his back.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

He raised his head, and blood seemed to flow out of his forehead. He shouted loudly, "Master! Master! Disciple is not welcome! Disciple is not welcome!"

"If I had known that Master lived in my father-in-law's house, I would have come to pick him up earlier, how could there have been so many twists and turns?"

Li Fu stepped forward and helped up the strange-looking monster with a pig's head and body.

He asked Wukong, "How did you catch him?"

Wukong was not afraid of the mortals in Gao Laozhuang hearing about it. He asked the pig to say, "Idiot! You say it!"

The monster described in detail the Bodhisattva's advice to do good, as well as the causes and consequences, and why he came to marry him.

When Li Fu heard this, he knew that this must be his disciple.

He said to Grandpa Gao, "Mr. Gao, please get an incense table for use."

Old Mrs. Gao quickly ordered Gao Cai and other servants to bring out an incense burner.

Li Fucheng burned incense with his hands, bowed to that place, and said respectfully, "Thank you for your kindness to the Bodhisattva!"

The elders from Gao Laozhuang also added incense to worship.

Bye.

Li Fu personally untied the rope from the pig's temples.

How could he easily solve it with his mortal strength? Wukong secretly helped him.

Zhu Gang’s eyes are filled with tears and he is grateful.
