Chapter 907: , the girl from High Old Village is still waiting for Bajie

Last time, the Classic of Documents said, the two demons of Lianhuadong on Pingdingshan and Sun Wukong of the Water Curtain Cave on Huaguo Shan had a conversation in the clouds.

Didn't take it seriously.

This is called 'great skill makes one bold'.

The demon said, 'Houtou, if you truly are the boss of Sun Wukong from the Water Curtain Cave on Huaguo Shan, when I call you, dare you answer me?'

Sun Wukong laughed and said, 'Demon, this is simply a joke. How do you judge people through a crack in the door? If I didn't even have the courage to answer you with a single word, how could I still be considered a hero on Huaguo Shan? No matter how many times you shout at me, I dare to answer that many times. What do you think, demon?'

The second demon said, 'Houtou, although what you say is reasonable, I will not hide it from you. This Red Gourd in my hand can swallow the Three Mountains and Five Peaks within the four seas. The temperature of the Red Gourd can turn steel into water, water into vapor, vapor into nothing. That is to say, if you are placed into my Red Gourd, even if you have immense abilities, you cannot use them. In an instant, you will be turned to nothing by my Red Gourd. Aren't you afraid of me?'

Sun Wukong laughed and said, 'Afraid of you? I haven't even finished reciting the Classic of Documents! Since the dawn of chaos, when heaven and earth were split, after I was born on Huaguo Shan, I have diligently trained true martial arts, visited famous masters, and gained courage and abilities everywhere. Later I also obtained the secret of longevity and the power of transformation. I can change with the wind, go to heaven and enter earth, subdue dragons and tigers, and cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace. There is nothing in the world I cannot do. Demon, you shout at me—how could there be any reason to fear you?'

The demon said, 'Houtou, you've gone this far with your words. Then I won't be polite either. Let's begin the contest.'

Sun Wukong said, 'It's already late, my master is still hung in the cave suffering. I must hurry to defeat you and rescue my master.'

The demon shouted, 'Sun Wukong, what are you saying? Defeat me? If you want to defeat me, then you must answer my call.'

Sun Wukong said, 'Then go ahead and shout. Stop the nonsense.'

The demon said, 'Then I shall shout?'

Sun Wukong said, 'Go ahead and shout.'

'You don't regret it?'

'No regret.'

'Sun Wukong——'

Sun Wukong was about to reply, but the words rose to his lips and he swallowed them back. Sun Wukong secretly thought: My master and my junior brothers have both been captured by this demon, and they are still hanging in the cave, anxiously awaiting my rescue. If I am captured again by this demon and placed into his Red Gourd, then there would be no one left to report it. Besides, my death is trivial. If I cannot save my master, delaying his journey to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures, that would be a grave mistake! Moreover, my two younger brothers, Bajie and Shaseng, are still unmarried; they have been following my master all this time, constantly running east and west, yet they have gained no wealth, no status, and remain bachelors. Now, with no money and no status, which girl would dare to take them? Especially Bajie—the girl from High Old Village may still be waiting for him to earn money and return to marry. If this Bajie were harmed by that demon, the girl from High Old Village would be waiting in vain.

The demon looked at Sun Wukong standing there dazed, thinking his earlier words had frightened him. The second demon laughed and said, 'How about it, Houtou? Are you scared? You had better hurry back to Huaguo Shan to lead your monkey brothers in their games. Just now you were boasting about your abilities, speaking so toughly, yet I called you for a long time and you didn't answer—were you frightened? Isn't that so, Houtou?'

The dazed Sun Wukong, upon hearing the demon's call, laughed and said, 'Demon, what did you just say? I, old Sun, am advanced in years; I have experienced much wind and rain by the sea, my eyes are a bit dim, my ears a bit poor. Your voice just now was too soft; I still haven't heard clearly what you called. How can I answer you? Please speak louder.'
