Chapter 36

Xuanzang saw that the Little White Dragon had not woken up for a long time.

He was worried that it was because of the lack of water, so he wanted to put him in the East Sea to recuperate.

After all, the sea was where he belonged.

There were rugged reefs under his feet.

In front of him was the boundless East Sea.

Under the night sky, the waves surged, suffused with silver light stolen from the bright moon.

The waves quickly wet Xuanzang's shoes and socks.

He simply sat by the reef.

He took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his pants, and completely exposed his calves into the sea.

Then, he took out the Little White Dragon and put it into the sea.

He pinched his tail with one hand to prevent him from being washed down by the waves.

He rubbed the medicinal juice on his body with one hand.

The medicine worked very quickly, and the small injuries were almost healed.

As soon as he came into contact with the clean and clear water, Xuanzang became fascinated. He turned to look at Wukong. "Wukong.

I want to take a bath. "

Wukong raised his chin, indicating that there was water under his feet. "Do you want me to help push you down?"

Xuanzang said, "It's too deep."

"I won't drown."

"But it's too cold."

Their eyes met.

Silence.

Neither of them admitted defeat.

Wukong was furious. "What else do you want?

Boil the East Sea? "

Xuanzang glanced elsewhere. "You can bring the water up and boil it."

Wukong glared at him for a while before turning around and leaving.

Huaguo Mountain was full of monkeys.

The aura of life was not strong.

Wukong knocked on the door of the familiar Bear Demon King's house in the middle of the night.

There were more women in their family.

When the Bear Demon King saw him suddenly visit in the middle of the night, his expression was solemn. "Did something big happen?"

"Yes," Wukong said. "Borrow a wooden barrel."

The Bear Demon King imagined a scene of the Heavenly Court capturing a fugitive and winning with a wooden barrel. "" How big is it?

How many? "

"One. As long as it can hold a person."

It seemed like the Heavenly Court's envoy had been captured. The Great Sage was going to lock him up in a wooden barrel!

Demon King Bear was timid. He was afraid of both the Heavenly Courts and Wukong. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to lend it to him.

Wukong fetched a bucket of water from the Eastern Sea, broke off branches to build a pile of firewood, lit the fire, and let the wooden bucket burn above the fire.

A monster was awakened by his actions and asked in fear, "Great Sage, what are you doing?"

Wukong said grumpily, "Boil water."

The demon turned even more fearful. "Boil water? Why?"

"Boiling Monk."

The monster was shocked and ran away as if it was running for its life. It was bewildered along the way.

Not only did Wukong refuse to learn the scriptures, but he also wanted to cook the Tang Seng and eat it. He was determined to fight against Buddha to the end. What should they, the demons who had attached themselves to him, do?

Should he stop them?

Halfway through the fire, Wukong went to find Xuanzang.

The Little White Dragon's body floated on the surface of the sea and finally opened its eyes slowly.

Xuanzang was talking to him. When he heard Wukong's movement, he turned around and said, "See, I told you he was thirsty. Isn't he awake now?"

Wukong said, "He might have woken up from the cold."

After saying that, the Little White Dragon shivered and moaned, "It's so cold."

Xuanzang, "…" This must be a fake dragon.

The Little White Dragon was completely awakened by the shock of the seawater. When he saw Wukong, he was so excited that tears streamed down his face. "Great Sage, I've finally found you!" He said angrily, "You don't know that when you weren't around, a monster pretended to be you."

Wukong asked, "How do you know that I'm not a fake?"

The Little White Dragon said, "Because Master still has the leisure to wash his feet."

Xuanzang silently retracted his leg and let go of his hand, letting him swim by himself.

The Little White Dragon jumped ashore to shake off the water. After all, he didn't like the East Sea.

Xuanzang didn't expect that Wukong would really boil water for him to bathe. He was very surprised and quickly took off his clothes. He hung his clothes on the tree and reached into the wooden bucket to test the temperature of the water.

Wukong watched with trepidation. Fortunately, he chose a remote place and no one else saw him.

His white jade-like body swayed dizzily. He never knew that there was something that could make him so confused.

He didn't dare to look too much. He leaned against the tree and looked down to find a passing centipede. He raised his foot and crushed it.

"It's a little hot." Xuanzang shouted.

Wukong said impatiently, "Wait for it to get cold."

Xuanzang said, "But it's so cold to wait."

"If you know it's cold, then why did you take it off so quickly?"

Xuanzang could only lie beside the wooden bucket and keep stirring the water inside. After stirring twice, he found that the water was just right. "Okay, okay."

He stepped in and happily closed his eyes. He found that there was still a lot of space, so he invited him warmly, "Wukong, let's bathe together."

Wukong's head was about to explode. "No."

Xuanzang sighed. "Why?

You didn't bathe with me before. "

It seemed that there were similar scenes in the past. They broke into pieces and appeared in his mind from time to time.

In the misty hot spring, Xuanzang's back view slowly removed the obstacles and kept talking to him through the stone …

He had a severe headache and couldn't think about it anymore.

So he sealed Xuanzang's mouth.

The next day, Mount Huaguo was much more deserted than before. There weren't even a few banshees. Wukong felt strange, but it was good to have some peace. He had a headache these days.

But he didn't know where the wind came from, but the Bull Demon King was invited.

The Bull Demon King was one of Wukong's few close friends. When he fought with the Heavenly Court, the Bull Demon King fought with all his might. Even if the others were scared, they still stood firmly on his side. But halfway through, he met Rakshasa and had a child. Then he lived a farming life with his wife and children.

This was a true brother. Wukong was only willing to respect him as "Big Brother".

Wukong liked him very much. He hurriedly hosted a private banquet to entertain him and didn't let others come close for the time being.

Seeing that he came alone, he asked, "Where are sister-in-law and nephew?"

He only heard about the Bull Demon King from his subordinates, but he had never seen him.

The Bull Demon King frowned. "Let's not talk about this first. Did you kill and eat that Tang Seng?"

And secretly cooking the corpse in the middle of the night, it didn't seem like a normal method.

It seemed that 500 years of imprisonment had made a hero who fought with the heavens to develop an extreme perverted character …

The Bull Demon King's frown deepened.

Xuanzang, who came to ask Wukong to release Ba Jie and Wujing, was horrified when he heard that he was cooked and eaten. "…"

The Bull Demon King and he looked at each other.

Wukong waved and asked him to come to his side. "Who told you that?"

"It's all over the world in one night."

The Bull Demon King was now middle-aged and his state of mind was no longer the same as when he was young. He sighed. "It's not that I'm not loyal. It's just that I can't fight head-on now."

He lived far away. It was the old subordinate of the two who specially sent the message. He was worried that Wukong would be punished even more severely, so he rushed over overnight to take a look.

"I know." Wukong glanced at Xuanzang. "Don't listen to those rumors." He didn't know why the rumors spread like this when he fetched water for him to take a bath last night.

Xuanzang looked down and ate the grapes without saying anything.

The Bull Demon King said, "That's good."

The two of them talked about the past and both sighed. How could they not have good wine to accompany them? Just as they raised their cups, Xuanzang's resentful gaze drifted over.

Wukong paused and put down the cup. "I'm restricted and can't drink. I won't accompany you, brother."

He didn't feel disgusted at all. In fact, he felt good …

"Since you're seeking scriptures, it's good that you follow the rules of Buddhism." The Bull Demon King put down the cup as well. "I don't let you drink too much at home."

Speaking of seeking scriptures, Wukong told him about his amnesia and being impersonated.

The Bull Demon King's expression was solemn. "You're saying that he looked exactly like you when he was young?"

Wukong nodded. "I can't figure out that there's such a demon in this world."

The Bull Demon King said, "I heard from my wife that there are three other spiritual monkeys in this world that have not entered the cycle of heaven like you. They are the Redbone Horse Monkey, the Long Armed Ape Monkey and the Six-Eared Macaque. I'm afraid only one of the three would look exactly like you."

He explained in detail to Wukong how powerful the three of them were.

"Seems like it. He wanted to replace me to seek scriptures and cultivate the right path." Wukong snatched the grapes that Xuanzang had just peeled and ate them. "He wanted me to stay in Mount Huaguo."

Xuanzang wasn't angry. He took another grape and peeled it. "Then why did you lose your memory?"

He recalled. "That night, you told me that you wanted to go home and take a look. You would be back in the morning. But in the afternoon, the impersonator came. Was there a problem with the timing?

Did you meet him at home? "

No, he didn't come to Mount Huaguo immediately. He went to other places …

"Let me think." Wukong held his head. He had a headache and felt a little dizzy. "I'll go out for a walk."

The Bull Demon King and Xuanzang said at the same time, "I'll go with you …"

The Bull Demon King felt strange and coughed twice. "I'll go by myself. I haven't been to Mount Huaguo for a long time."

The mountain breeze cleared his head. The pain just now wasn't as intense, but there was still a lingering effect. Wukong held his forehead and didn't put his hand down.

Xuanzang asked worriedly, "Do you have a headache?" He touched his forehead as he spoke.

Wukong grabbed his hand. "I'm fine."

Xuanzang bit his lip and seemed to have made up his mind. "Why don't I try chanting the 'Band Tightening Spell'?"

Wukong, "?"

"It's the one on your head."

Xuanzang looked down at his feet. "At that time, the Bodhisattva said that I couldn't control you and wanted to use this to control you. So, I put it on for you … Maybe when you hear it, you'll remember."

The presence of this band was indeed very strong. It also restrained his mana. Wukong didn't think much of it. "Go ahead."

Xuanzang hesitated. "There are some disadvantages."

"What disadvantages?"

"Yes, headache."

He also had a headache now. "Just read it."

"Then you can't hit me or scold me."

"Read it."

Xuanzang took a few steps back and observed him as he read.

Wukong finally knew what a headache was. The band was almost squeezing his brain out. Compared to that, the headache just now was like a massage.

He was in so much pain that he rolled on the ground. He couldn't think of anything. There was only the overwhelming pain.

Xuanzang hurriedly stopped and ran over to hold him down. "Is it too painful?

Then I won't read it. "

Wukong's eyes were red. He turned over and pressed him under his body.

Xuanzang was so scared that he closed his eyes. He regretted provoking the amnesiac monkey.

In the end, he didn't get hit. Wukong buried his head in his shoulder and breathed in his unique clean scent.

The suffocating and unforgettable pain and Xuanzang indeed made him more awake than before.

He seemed to have been drugged for the past two days. He passed his days in a daze and couldn't even think.

Once he was awake, he found many loopholes.

He suddenly heard Xuanzang's suppressed cries. If he wasn't so close to him, he wouldn't have heard it at all.

Wukong laughed and wiped away his tears. He thought he was scared. "Why are you crying? I didn't hit you."

Xuanzang hooked his neck and sobbed. "You haven't hugged me like this for a long time."

Wukong suddenly felt like he was going to die.

Wukong was going into seclusion with Bajie Wujing, so the Bull Demon King wandered around.

On the way, he met the four generals. He wanted to greet them, but they all looked worried and were arguing about something.

The Bull Demon King felt that something was wrong. He turned into a little bug and went over to listen to what they were arguing about.

"The Great Sage hasn't eaten the Heart-Sucking Grass for a few days. Maybe he remembered."

"I told you not to do it back then, but you all blindly listened to her. Look at what happened now. She's gone. Who can we reason with?"

"Isn't it because we want the Great Sage to stay? She won't harm the Great Sage …"

"People are fickle. Now that she's running away, it's not because she's guilty."

"If the Great Sage remembers, it'll be our fault."

The four of them sighed together. They couldn't think of a solution.
