Chapter 850: Doing Some Human Affairs, Speaking Some Human Words
In the previous chapter, the book spoke of the great demon in Lianhuadong; it sent a little demon to the Suppress Dragon Mountain Cave to fetch the mother of the two demon leaders to come to Lotus Flower Mountain to eat Tang Monk's flesh. This is even less surprising in the demon realm. Seeing that, to achieve their own goals and realize their private interests, these two demon leaders dare to deceive even their own venerable mother—what wicked deed could they not do?
Less idle talk, fewer wicked deeds; more blossoms, more good deeds. Continuing from where the previous chapter left off――――
The two little demons of Lianhuadong, having received orders to go to Suppress Dragon Mountain to fetch the mother of the two demon leaders to come eat Tang Monk's flesh, had just ridden their clouds out of the cave and reached Lotus Flower Mountain when Sun Wukong nailed them.
You lot of dog‑things, you're simply not human; all you think about all day is scheming to harm people. My master, a perfectly good benevolent person, you want to eat him—it's not that easy.
Upon thinking this, that Sun Wukong wished he could smash those who want to eat people—demons, monsters, ghosts—into pulp with his Golden Hooped Staff. How easy is that? Demons, monsters, ghosts, since they can become demons, monsters, ghosts, who lacks fundamental Dao cultivation? Not to mention those who sit in the mountains with a couple of makeshift supports, or even the little errand boys who fetch tea and water—you can't afford to provoke them.
I still need to be careful; otherwise, I won't only fail to save my master, I'll also lose my own life.
This is Sun Wukong's inner thought.
Just now, Sun Wukong had thought of killing the two little demons who were going to Suppress Dragon Mountain to fetch the mother of the two demon leaders to come eat Tang Monk's flesh with a single blow, right there on the spot, but this idea was quickly cancelled by Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong turned his thoughts and thought: If I were to strike these two little demons here, it would alarm the trees and grasses on the mountain; perhaps there are demons from Lianhuadong standing guard hidden among them, and if such a demon ran to the cave to report, then not only would I fail to save my master, I would also harm my master.
This is the first point.
Second, if I were to kill these two little demons here, there would be no one to guide Old Sun to Suppress Dragon Mountain. Without reaching Suppress Dragon Mountain, I couldn't obtain the Shimmering Gold Rope held by the mother of the two demon leaders; without the Shimmering Gold Rope, I couldn't rescue my master Tang Boss, nor my two sworn brothers Bajie and Shaheshang.
In this remote wilderness, where could I, Sun Wukong, find someone to ask for directions? I'll keep these two dog‑things to show me the way. Let them live a few more hours—after all, these two little demons are doomed Beauties.
Fate, fate.
That Sun Wukong still transformed into a tiny insect, clinging tightly to the body of the little demon hurrying to Suppress Dragon Mountain.
Sun Wukong was looking for an opportunity to deal with them.
Having traveled less than an hour, ahead they saw a mountain; at its foot lay a black pine forest. The two little demons walking on clouds said to each other: "Brothers, we've walked for an hour and are tired. We've already reached Suppress Dragon Mountain. The summit of that black pine forest is exactly where we should be; let's rest in the black pine forest before going up to invite the old grandmother to come eat Tang Monk's flesh."
The overseer asked: "How can this monster also be tired?"
This monster also has tendons, bones, skin, and flesh—how could it not be tired?
Those two little demons were right at the edge of the black pine forest below Suppress Dragon Mountain; they found a clean spot on a hill and sat down. Sun Wukong said, "You've lived out your lives—let this clean stone be your tombstone. Since you lack benevolence, don't blame me, Old Sun, for being unjust. I will now have you two little demons reforged. Perhaps in five hundred years you'll be able to do more good deeds, cease being lackeys of demons, and do some human affairs, speak some human words…..
