Chapter 831: , Beautiful Monk, follow me

――――The red apricot whose branches stick out of the wall.

Speaking of the two demon heads crouched on Sun Wukong's back, in order to kill Sun Wukong, he chanted the secret formula and summoned two great mountains, one Mount Tai and one Mount Emei, pressing them respectively on Sun Wukong's left and right shoulders.

Sun Wukong carried Mount Tai on his left shoulder, Mount Emei on his right shoulder, and the two demon heads on his back; as he ran forward he shouted, 'Ha… ha… ha… so fun… ha… so fun, I have the two demon heads on my back and two mountains on my shoulders. Old Sun and I have great abilities. Master, younger brothers, wait for me; come see how carefree and amusing Old Sun is. This is even more carefree and fun than when I led the little monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain to practice their skills and play around.

Seeing the hairy-faced monkey carrying two mountains so lightly, the second demon head was frightened stupid. In colloquial terms, 'scared out of a sweat'; in refined literary language, 'the whole body secretes moisture'.

'No, I still need to think of a way to deal with him. I must subdue this monkey. If I don't subdue Sun Wukong, how can I capture Tang Monk?' The second demon head thought this, then chanted the true words again. In the blink of an eye, a great mountain appeared, covering the sky and pressing down toward Sun Wukong's head.

Immediately Sun Wukong was pressed under that mountain. Reader, what mountain is this? — The Himalayas.

This is also Sun Wukong's fault for being careless. If he had paid a little attention and guarded against this trick of the two demons, he could have dodged and the second demon head would not have overwhelmed him. This is due to Sun Wukong's negligence and carelessness. It is also the calamity destined for Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong was then pressed down by three mountains summoned by the second demon head with the secret formula. The second demon head chanted the true words and used his divine powers, leaving Sun Wukong unable to move at all. Let us set this aside for now.

Meanwhile, the second demon head, having pressed Sun Wukong under the three mountains, employed demonic magic, riding the long wind, and boldly set out to pursue Tang Monk and Sandy.

Not long after, in a mountain hollow, they caught up with Tang Monk and Sandy. The second demon head pressed down a cloud before Tang Monk's horse, extended a hand from the cloud seam, and lunged at Tang Monk. Seeing a hand reaching out from the seam, Tang Monk panicked and fell from his horse. Sandy, seeing his master fall from the horse, hastily dropped his luggage and shouted, 'Master, have no fear, your disciple Sandy is here!' He then drew his demon-subduing staff and blocked the demon that had come down from the cloud seam. The second demon monster, seeing Sandy block him with the demon-subduing staff, hastily drew a seven‑sword from his bosom and stabbed at Sandy. Sandy and the second demon monster, without a word, engaged in battle. My good friend, look at the two of them――――

Seven Star Sword, demon‑subduing staff, you come and I go, flashing golden light; you advance, I retreat, like myriad meteors lighting the sky. One has round eyes like a Black Killer God; the other has an iron face like a Rolling Curtain General. One, displaying great power before the strange mountain, is intent on capturing Tang Sanzang; the other, the monk, exhausts every scheme to protect his master, preferring death to surrender. The two soar on clouds and mist, illuminating the heavenly palace, raising sand and stone as a misty canopy. They fight until the red sun before the mountain is darkened, until the river flows backward and the mountains shake; until the birds flee to high places, until the beasts of the mountain hide in the forests. After dozens of exchanges, it is expected that the monster will overcome Sandy.

Who would have thought the second demon monster was so skilled and ferocious? He wielded that seven‑sword, its changes unfathomable, brandishing it like a meteor shower and sudden rain. He left Sandy only able to parry, with no power to strike back. Just as Sandy tried to leap out of the circle to protect his master, the monster, having anticipated this, raised the seven stars and pinned Sandy down, shouting loudly, 'Sandy, where do you think you're fleeing? Watch this old Taoist seize you!' The monster extended his left hand and seized Sandy; the second demon monster then raised his right hand and caught Tang Monk as well, saying, 'Beautiful Monk, you also come with me!' Having captured Sandy and Tang Sanzang, the monster took a breath, hooked the luggage with his toe, bit the horse's reins with his mouth, performed his demonic magic, and vanished like a gust of wind…………………………
