Chapter 166: Sun Wukong: Sister-in-law, open the door, it

On the journey west.

Tang An and her three disciples, plus Xiaotian Quan and Jiuyue, had set foot on the journey west again.

As if the Lingshan calamity hadn't happened, their atmosphere hadn't changed.

Except...

Except for Nezha, who had to take Xiaotian Quan for a walk from time to time.

Tang An looked at Yang Jian, very confused. "Is your Xiaotian Quan too energetic lately? Does he need to be walked to burn off some energy?"

"Could it be that he..."

Could it be that he needs to be neutered?

Yang Jian seemed to understand the implication in Tang An's eyes; he opened his mouth, but couldn't explain.

"Why don't you ask Nezha later?"

"Nezha? Right, why has Nezha been so fond of walking the dog lately?" Tang An was completely baffled.

On the same journey, five kilometers away.

"Achoo! Achoo! A..."

Xiaotian Quan didn't know if he was being talked about or if he was choked by the dust in front of him; he kept sneezing.

"I say, Third Prince, why don't you just let me go? I really don't know how to find any stones!"

"Aren't you a divine dog?" Nezha asked the soul-searching question.

Xiaotian Quan was also stunned by the question. "Is there a possibility that I am a divine dog, but I am also just a dog!"

"I am a dog! Dogs don't find treasures!"

Nezha pondered for a moment. "Aren't dog noses the most sensitive?"

"I... you..."

"Ah!!!!!!!!!"

The miserable Xiaotian Quan, unable to fight back and unable to be stubborn, could only continue to lower his head and look for some broken stones.

Meanwhile, on Tang An's side.

They didn't know about Xiaotian Quan's plight; Tang An was looking at the map to see how far they were from Flame Mountain.

"This difficulty corresponds to Princess Iron Fan."

"Wukong, are you confident you can get the Banana Leaf Fan?"

As soon as Sun Wukong heard the name Princess Iron Fan, he shook his head. "Old Sun inexplicably caused my sister-in-law to suffer a disaster; how could she tolerate Old Sun borrowing the Banana Leaf Fan?"

Tang An stroked her chin. "You say, is it possible that we just go and snatch it?"

Anyway, they had the Wind-Fixing Bead, so they weren't afraid of the Banana Leaf Fan.

It wasn't that Tang An was impatient; it was mainly that the closer they got to Flame Mountain, the hotter it became, which made her irritable, so she was inevitably a bit impatient.

"Why don't you go find some ice dragon to be a mobile air conditioner?"

"Air conditioner?" Yang Jian didn't understand.

"It's something to cool down; it's too hot to bear, and in a while, my skin will be roasted to the point of peeling."

Tang An had applied sunscreen and taken a series of sun protection measures, but she couldn't withstand the fact that Flame Mountain was burning with Samadhi True Fire; the temperature was too high, and she was being roasted until she was oily.

"Hey, right, don't I have it myself."

Tang An immediately went to find the system, exchanged for a magic treasure that could insulate and cool down, and immediately felt much more comfortable.

When you have plenty of Merit, you can be arrogant; you can swap for anything you want without feeling a pinch.

"Alright, now I'm not in a hurry, let's discuss it slowly." Tang An signaled Yang Jian to set up an array to block the possibility of Lingshan's Buddhist energy spying in secret.

A few days later, at the foot of Flame Mountain.

Ordinary mortals still lived here, and it could be said that they were suffering immensely, with no water to use and nothing to eat.

Those who could leave this place were all young people. Those who remained were all old, weak, women, and children.

"Sigh~" Sun Wukong sighed and blamed himself. "The suffering here is all caused by Old Sun; the ordinary people have been implicated by Old Sun after all."

"It's okay, that wasn't something you did on purpose." Tang An got off Jiuyue's back, stepped onto the scorching yellow sand, and observed the terrain here.

She didn't expect that the first time she saw a desert in her life would be at Flame Mountain in Journey to the West.

"Master." Sun Wukong pleaded. "Old Sun knows you have great supernatural powers; can you help them?"

"Yes, of course I can." Tang An had considered this problem on the way and had long since exchanged and stored many barrels of water in the system.

Tang An pulled several large water vats out of her Universe Bag and then asked the system to help put water into the large vats.

Then Tang An took out a large megaphone and shouted at the dilapidated small village in front of her: "The gods have come to deliver water to you! Come to the entrance of the village to collect water quickly!"

"For those who don't have the strength to collect water, neighbors on both sides, please help and tell us, and we will deliver it door to door."

Then, Tang An played this message on a loop.

When the villagers heard that the gods had come and were delivering water, they all came out to their doors to see.

When they saw that there were indeed several large vats of water in front of Tang An, they even thought they were hallucinating.

Sun Wukong immediately scooped a ladle of water, protecting it with one hand, and jumped toward the houses in the village.

The villagers were too shocked by the news to be afraid, after all, Sun Wukong was in the form of a monkey.

"Old man, drink quickly, take a sip and taste it."

The old man leaning on a cane took the ladle from Sun Wukong and hesitated for a moment.

But after confirming that there was indeed water on the ladle, he hurriedly held the ladle and brought it to his mouth.

"It's, it's water!"

"Villagers, it's really water!"

The old man wept with joy and immediately wanted to kneel before Sun Wukong to thank him.

The villagers also responded one after another, going to Tang An to collect water.

And before collecting water, they all tacitly knelt first to thank the gods for their grace of salvation.

Tang An couldn't help so many people up, so she had to rely on Yang Jian and Nezha's spells to help them up.

"Everyone, no need for formalities; there is enough water today, and enough food."

"As for after today, don't worry, we came specifically to solve the problem of Flame Mountain."

"Gods! Living gods!" The woman in front of Tang An pulled her child and wanted to kneel to Tang An again.

They were suffering, truly suffering.

Finally, gods had come to save them; they could finally escape the sea of suffering, how could they not be happy, not emotional?

Tang An hurriedly helped the person up. "Everyone, no need for such formalities; eat first, everything can wait until after eating."

She took out basically all the food she had stored in her Universe Bag and shared it with everyone. She only kept a small portion for herself.

The villagers didn't know how many years it had been since they had eaten a decent full meal, let alone such good dishes and pastries; many people cried while eating, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Old man, since people can't live here, why don't you leave? You could live the same way in another place." Sun Wukong asked.

The old man wiped his turbid tears. "Here, this is the root."

"Our ancestors have lived here for generations; even if it is scorching hot here, it is ultimately the place where we grew up, and where we must be buried when we are old."

"Suffering is suffering, but once you get used to it, it's fine."

Tang An didn't understand this kind of thinking, or maybe it was because she was still young and didn't understand how much weight the phrase "falling leaves return to their roots" contained.

However, everyone had things they insisted on in their hearts, and she wouldn't force interference.

Thinking of this, Tang An also took a piece of cake and gnawed on it, continuing to observe the desert here.

But what she was thinking in her head was...

Flame Mountain was a great tool for removing dampness; if placed in the modern era, it would definitely be able to create a good tourist area.

As long as the tourist area was built and there was income and trade, it wouldn't be a big problem for the elderly and children to live here.

Of course, that was just thinking; the fire still had to be extinguished.

"Wukong, come here."

Sun Wukong responded and came over. "What's wrong, Master?"

"Our difficulty at Flame Mountain has already begun. Why don't you go find Princess Iron Fan and see if you can borrow the Banana Leaf Fan?"

Sun Wukong looked at the villagers who didn't have to worry about food and drink, and his smile relaxed a bit.

"Old Sun will go right now, and will be back immediately." Saying this, Sun Wukong stepped on the Somersault Cloud and went to find Princess Iron Fan.

Cuiyun Mountain, Banana Leaf Cave.

Sun Wukong transformed into the appearance of the Bull Demon King and opened his mouth with a sentence.

"Sister-in-law, open the door, it's your eldest brother." ===== CHAPTER 167 =====
