The Great Bandit of Journey to the West

Chapter 140 Encountering Demons at Pingdingshan

Chapter 140 Encountering Demons at Pingdingshan

With Sun Wukong joining the team, Jiang Feng finally felt a little more confident.

It's not that Sun Wukong is invincible and no one can defeat him, but at least we don't have to worry about a repeat of the situation where several people combined couldn't defeat a single monster.

If the current personnel were to pass by Calabash Mountain, and Sun Wukong were to directly deal with the Scorpion Demon, they should be able to easily defeat her without him having to use his transformation magic and risk his life.

After resting for a while, Jiang Feng and his group continued their journey. Ao Ying also went to continue her mission: to spread the rumor along the Journey to the West that eating Sha Wujing's flesh could grant immortality.

Poor Sha Wujing still doesn't understand what Ao Ying meant by the look she gave him when she left; he only feels that this girl is strange.

After traveling for a month without encountering any more monsters, Jiang Feng was still marveling that Guanyin Bodhisattva had finally become human when he was blocked by a towering mountain that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Looking at the towering mountain before him, Jiang Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "This mountain looks like it could yield at least a million catties of meat in two months!"

Sun Wukong joked, "Master, I, Old Sun, can bring you so much meat, but can you finish it all by yourself?"

If the meat goes bad and we can't finish it, you'll end up looking like a stinking monk!

Sha Wujing gave him a complicated look: "Eldest brother, you really know nothing about Master's wealth."

My master has over 300,000 tenant farmers under his jurisdiction. If each household receives a little over three catties of meat, it probably won't even be enough for them to eat for a day.

Sun Wukong's eyes widened immediately: "Wow~ I didn't realize Master was so wealthy!"

Sha Wujing laughed smugly, "No matter how rich Master is, it has nothing to do with you. Master said that he and I are the best of friends in the world, and I will inherit all of his property!"

After saying this, Sha Wujing respectfully addressed Jiang Feng, saying, "Master, who knows what demons and monsters are lurking in this mountain? Please rest here for a moment, while I, Old Sha, go and scout ahead!"

Having said that, he picked up the Thoreau staff and went into the mountains.

Seeing him walk away, Jiang Feng said to Sun Wukong earnestly, "This Sha Wujing is an undercover agent sent by Guanyin Bodhisattva to our side. Whenever he gets the chance, he will put the golden headband on his master and recite that headband-tightening mantra that makes people's heads ache."

"Wukong, you and I are the best of friends in the world. When you have free time, keep an eye on Wujing so that he doesn't find an opportunity to take advantage of you."

Sun Wukong chuckled with amusement, "Our group of master and disciples actually has so many twists and turns; interesting, truly interesting!"

The little white dragon took a deep breath and said with a resentful expression, "Master, didn't you say a few days ago that you and I were the best of friends in the world, and that you told me to be wary of that fierce and unruly monkey, in case he harms you?"

Sun Wukong: "————"

This monk is not acting like a human being!

Jiang Feng, despite being exposed by the White Dragon, showed no embarrassment and said in a serious tone, "That's right, the one I asked you to be wary of is that Six-Eared Macaque!"

That six-eared macaque looks exactly like Wukong. Fourth brother, you must keep a close eye on him and watch his movements closely, lest he harm your master!

Bai Suzhen chuckled twice and said, "I'd rather believe that Wujing wasn't captured by the monster than believe you!"

"Sigh, Wujing has been gone for so long and hasn't returned. He must have been captured by a demon again."

As she spoke, she used magic to summon the local mountain god and asked, "Mountain god, are there any powerful monsters on this mountain?"

The mountain god respectfully bowed to the group and replied, "This mountain is about 600 li away and is called Pingding Mountain. There is a cave in the mountain called Lotus Cave."

There were two demons in the cave, one called the Golden Horn King and the other the Silver Horn King. The two demons drew pictures of passing monks, specifically naming them and demanding to eat the holy monk from the Sui Dynasty.

Jiang Feng gasped, "They've actually reached Pingdingshan! It seems Wujing is in grave danger!"

Meanwhile, while scouting ahead, Sha Wujing encountered a group of monsters patrolling the mountain.

The two leading monsters, one with a golden horn and the other with a silver horn, were none other than the Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King mentioned by the mountain god.

King Golden Horn stared at Sha Wujing before him, his eyes gleaming, and said, "Brother, look at this blue-faced monk before you, isn't he the legendary Sha Wujing who can grant immortality if eaten?"

The Silver Horned King looked bewildered and said, "Brother, wasn't the one who said eating it would grant immortality a holy monk from the Sui Dynasty?"

King Golden Horn hesitated, "There are too many rumors lately. Just a few days ago, someone said that eating a monkey's head could grant immortality. I honestly can't quite remember. So, should we eat this monk or not?"

Silver Horn King said, "Never mind all that, let's arrest them first!"

Hearing their back-and-forth banter, as if they were treating him like a fish on a chopping board, Sha Wujing flew into a rage and shouted, "Where did this monster come from? You dare to eat even your grandpa Sha? You'd better take a beating from your grandpa's staff first!"

Silver Horn King said, "Stop! We don't kill nameless nobodies. Do you dare to give your name?"

Sha Wujing shouted, "I am your grandfather, Sha Wujing!"

Silver Horned King took out a jade bottle and stared at Sha Wujing with a sidelong glance: "Your name is Sha Wujing?"

Sha Wujing said, "It is indeed your grandfather!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful suction force swept over him, instantly pulling Sha Wujing into the jade bottle.

After capping the bottle, King Silver Horn handed it to a little demon beside him and said, "Brother, it seems the pilgrims have indeed arrived."

That monkey is powerful; we're no match for him. I'll transform into an injured Taoist priest and trick Sun Wukong into leaving, while you seize the opportunity to capture that holy monk!

King Golden Horn nodded and said, "My brother is a shrewd strategist; we will proceed according to your plan!"

After saying that, the Silver Horn King stirred up a gust of demonic wind and came near Jiang Feng and the others, transforming into an injured old Taoist priest and beginning to call for help.

"Help! Is there any kind passerby who can help this old Taoist priest who has fallen and injured himself?!"

Hearing someone cry for help, Jiang Feng said, "Someone's calling for help, let's go check it out."

Sun Wukong frowned: "Master, this person is probably a demon in disguise—"

Jiang Feng waved his hand and said, "Whether it is a monster or not, I will be able to tell."

Sun Wukong sighed helplessly and followed Jiang Feng, soon finding the source of the cries for help.

The old Taoist priest, in the form of the Silver Horn King, was bleeding from his leg and looked disheveled. Upon seeing Jiang Feng approach, he hurriedly cried out, "Master, I am a Taoist priest who went into the mountains to gather herbs. I accidentally fell and injured myself, and I am unable to move here. Please, Master, have mercy and save me!"

Jiang Feng stepped forward and asked kindly, "Daoist Master, are you all alone around here? If you don't have any companions nearby, I'll have my disciple take you home."

King Silver Horn chuckled inwardly at how easily Jiang Feng had fallen for his trick, but outwardly he feigned a helpless expression: "Yes, I'm the only one around here. I've been calling for help for ages, and nobody's passed by—"

"Oh, I see—"

Jiang Feng's expression instantly changed, and he said in a sinister tone, "Hehehe, Wukong, take all his valuables and bury him alive on the spot."

Anyway, this place is deserted, so even if we kill him, no one will know!"

Sun Wukong: "??!!"

Master, I think I know how you acquired all that wealth!
