[Journey to the West] Show mercy

"...Then I won't answer." Qi Chen's hands were clenched and then relaxed, but he tried hard to put on a relaxed expression.

"Then what if he insists on forcing you to speak?" Sun Wukong asked relentlessly.

"That depends on what he says." Qi Chen sighed, there was nothing he could do about Sun Wukong, "But I hope he can remember that he promised me before that he would never make a decision that he would regret."

"Suppose," Sun Wukong continued to ask stubbornly, "if he said yes and didn't regret it, what would you say?"

"Then I will say yes, and I don't regret it." Qi Chen pulled out a smile, "But this is just an 'if', isn't it? I think we should pay more attention to practical issues, such as I am a little hungry now ..." She turned her head and shouted at the people behind: "Are you hungry?"

The spell Sun Wukong cast before was just to separate the voices that usually speak loudly. When she shouted like this, everyone could hear her clearly.Zhu Bajie smiled all over his face: "I've been making trouble for a long time, my old pig is already hungry! Master, I see a village in front of me, let's go to alms for alms for the night!"

Tang Seng nodded: "Wukong, what do you think?"

Sun Wukong's expression froze, and then he showed a gritted smile: "Okay, okay."

In this way, more than a month passed without incident, the seasons changed, and autumn gradually entered, Drifting took out clothes from the luggage to keep everyone warm on board.But after walking for a few days, the weather suddenly became hot again.

"This autumn tiger is really fierce!" Zhu Bajie sighed while taking off his clothes, "It's so hot to death!"

They went on again, and the weather got hotter.Both Zhu Bajie and Tang Seng left with thirsty mouths, and when they finally saw a family, they went to ask for water.It was an old man who opened the door, and he was startled when he saw the leader Monkey King: "My God, the monkey has become a spirit!"

"Don't be afraid, old benefactor," Tang Seng stepped forward and said, "We are not monsters. These are my apprentices. We are monks who came from the east to the west to learn scriptures. I am thirsty to ask for water, and by the way, I would like to ask why the weather is so abnormal."

The old man was relieved, went to get water and handed it to Tang Seng, and said: "The elder doesn't know, this place is called Huoyan Mountain, and it is very hot in all seasons."

After hearing this, Monkey King asked suspiciously: "Oh? There are few people around here, and it's very hot, and the grains are not growing. How do you live on?"

The old man replied: "There is an iron fan fairy on Cuiyun Mountain. This fairy has a handle of plantain fans. One fan stops the fire, the second fan generates wind, and the third fan makes rain. You can only harvest the five grains and keep healthy. We people here, Beg her for ten years, and use the best sacrifices to pay tribute."

Monkey King asked about the location of Cuiyun Mountain again, so he flew away to ask for a fan.Qi Chen knew that Princess Iron Fan was on this mountain, and he must avenge Red Boy's revenge with him, but he couldn't reveal it.They waited at the old man's house.Unexpectedly, one night passed, and there was no sign of Monkey King.Tang Seng was in a hurry, and just as he asked Zhu Bajie to look for it, he saw Monkey King coming back with a fan.

The group of people immediately set off on the road without stopping, but Qi Shen always felt a little strange, as if things should not be so simple.After walking west for more than 40 miles, the weather became hotter and hotter, and my hot feet hurt.Sun Wukong stopped in his tracks: "I'll put out the fire fan now, let's wait a little longer before crossing the mountain!" After he finished speaking, he walked forward for another few tens of feet, waved his fan and slapped it vigorously.

Fire suddenly burst out from the bare ground, but Sun Wukong slapped it again, and the fire intensified a hundred times, and the burning people hurried back for more than twenty miles before stopping.Qi Chen turned his head and took a closer look and almost fell to the ground laughing: Sun Wukong's hair has burned and bald in two strands!

Sun Wukong gritted his back molars loudly: "I was tricked by this woman!"

Zhu Bajie couldn't help laughing too: "Brother Hou, didn't you say that you are not afraid of radar, and you are not hurt by fire?"

"I didn't expect this fan to be used by that woman. I was unprepared, and my hair was burned off before I could read the formula to avoid fire."

Qi Chen laughed even harder, comparable to how he laughed at Zhu Bajie and Tang Seng in Xiliang Women's Country.

"Stop laughing!" Sun Wukong tapped her on the head, "Instead of having time to laugh, why not think about how to get a real plantain fan!"

Only then did Qi Chen gradually stop laughing: "Great Sage, aren't you very familiar with the Bull Demon King? Since she is the Bull Demon King's wife, then you can talk to the Bull Demon King for love."

Monkey King called out the land to ask questions.The land said: "The bull demon king lives in the snow-covered mountain, more than three thousand miles away from here. He left the iron fan princess Rakshasa some time ago, and married the jade-faced fox who inherited a million-dollar fortune from his father."

Just as Sun Wukong was about to turn around and go to the snow-covered mountain, the land said again: "In the end, you, the Great Sage, set the fire on the Flame Mountain. Back then, when there was a disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, you were burned in the alchemy furnace. Later, the alchemy furnace was destroyed. Turned over, dropped a few pieces and came here, turned into a flaming mountain. I was originally an alchemy boy, and I was punished to use this place as land."

Zhu Bajie blamed Sun Wukong's actions that made them unable to cross the mountain now, and the angry Monkey King wanted to beat him.He hurriedly hid behind Tang Seng and begged for mercy.

Sun Wukong ignored him and wanted to ride a cloud to Moyun Cave in the Snow Mountain to find the Bull Demon King.Qi Chen said from behind: "Great Sage, why don't you take me with you, if there is anything I can help you with." Monkey King said yes, so he took her and left together.

Arriving near Moyun Cave, Qi Chen suddenly saw a beautiful woman sitting under a pine tree picking flowers.She guessed in her heart that this might be the jade-faced fox, so she hurried up ahead of Monkey King and asked softly, "My lady, do you know if there is a Moyun Cave near here?"

The woman raised her head and asked curiously, "What are you looking for in that hole?"

"We and the Bull Demon King are in the old days—" Qi Chen said, pulling Monkey King from behind to the front, "This is the brother of the Bull Demon King, the Great Sage Qitian, passing by here and thinking of his old brother, and wants to visit. Excuse me Who is the girl? Do you know the Bull Demon King and Princess Yumian? I heard that the Bull Demon King has great powers, and the princess is extremely beautiful, so she should be very famous here."

The woman beamed with joy when she heard this: "I am Princess Yumian, since you are old acquaintances of my husband, follow me."

Sun Wukong looked at Qi Chen, as if he wanted to ask her how she was willing to lead them into the cave after being submissive to what this woman said.Qi Chen whispered to him: "Women always like to hear something nice."

Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows and said nothing.At this time, they had already stepped into Namoyun Cave, and as soon as they arrived at the entrance, they heard Princess Yumian shouting inside: "Mr. Lang, your sworn brother is here!"

While speaking, a monster with the body of a bull head came out from inside. He was wearing a splendid golden armor, and he wore a pair of suede boots with powder-soled rolls. It looked ugly, but it was majestic.As soon as the guy came out and saw Monkey King, he was shocked: "Are you the Monkey King Monkey King?"

"Exactly! Eldest brother, after all these years, you still know the younger brother!"

The Bull Demon King shouted: "Don't say anything nice! I heard that you protect Monk Tang to learn Buddhist scriptures, how did you harm my baby Niu Shengying?"

Holy baby cow!Qi Chen almost burst out laughing, this is really a good name!

Sun Wukong continued: "Eldest brother, you don't know something. Your son captured my master and wanted to eat him. I pleaded with him thinking of our brotherhood, but he refused to let the master go. Instead, he set fire to the mountain, which alarmed everyone. The Bodhisattva was just taken away. But now he has become a boy of good fortune and has a very high status. Last time I went to the South China Sea to meet the Bodhisattva, he said he was happy!"

The Bull Demon King sighed: "Never mind, whatever, since he is doing well, let him go." He changed his mind and asked again: "Aren't you going to protect Tang Monk to learn scriptures? Why do you suddenly have time to come to me?"

Hearing this, Qi Chen came up with a plan, and hurriedly answered: "It was the land of Huoyan Mountain who asked us to come here."

"The land of Flame Mountain?" The Bull Demon King repeated, full of doubts in his heart.The jade-faced fox beside him heard the word "Flame Mountain", and his expression changed drastically.Qi Chen continued as if nothing had happened: "We passed by the Flame Mountain, but it was too hot there. Hearing what the locals said, we went to find an iron fan fairy to borrow a fan to put out the fire. Wukong went to borrow a fan but was driven back. We had no choice but to Ask the land what to do. Who knows that the land used to be an alchemy disciple in the sky, because he overturned the alchemy furnace, he was sent to the lower realm to hold a grudge, and he refused to tell us how to cross the mountain. In the end, he was forced to say When he came to find the Bull Demon King, he burrowed into the ground and disappeared."

The jade-faced fox's face was already ashen, Qi Chen knew that he had provoked her jealousy, so he stopped talking.Sure enough, the fox said to the Bull Demon King: "This Princess Iron Fan is really deceiving people, won't even let these monks go? Even if they hurt your child before, he is happy now, what is there to worry about?"

Qi Chen made a surprised expression: "What? Your child?"

The jade-faced fox nodded: "My lord and Princess Iron Fan are husband and wife, but since he married me, Princess Iron Fan has made things difficult for me, so we have lived here."

Qi Chen was a little strange at first, this fox is a mistress, so why is he so confident?She also remembered that it was common for ancient people to have three wives and four concubines, and Princess Iron Fan's behavior seemed not generous, so she understood.The iron fan princess is suffering too!

The Bull Demon King was in trouble when he heard what the jade-faced fox said: one side is his wife and the other side is his concubine, what should he do?

Seeing his appearance, Qi Chen quickly apologized: "We really didn't know Princess Iron Fan was your wife, so it's embarrassing you. Then let's take our leave!"

The fox was not happy, and pointed at the Bull Demon King and scolded him for being cowardly and fearful, and he was not even willing to accumulate the virtue of helping the monk to learn scriptures from the west.The Bull Demon King couldn't argue with her, so he rubbed his head and said to Sun Wukong: "My dear brother, I know you have great powers, why don't I lend you this water-avoiding golden crystal beast, and you can take my appearance to get the banana fan!"

As he spoke, he sent Monkey King and Qi Chen out of the cave, and quietly told them not to say that he helped them.He brought his mount again, and told him to return it when the time came, and then went back to appease the jade-faced fox.Qi Chen sighed, thinking how pitiful Princess Iron Fan was.

Sun Wukong drove the somersault cloud and led the water-avoiding golden crystal beast to the Flame Mountain.
