第六集 The Dragon KingW hat’s wrong with our swords and spears?” asked the gibbon.“They’re fine for normal monkeys and apes,” said Wukong. “But I am very powerful. I need a much heavier weapon.”The gibbon thought for a minute. “A dragon king lives at the bottom of the Eastern Sea,” he said. “Maybe he has a weapon you can use.”“That’s a good idea,” said Wukong. “I’llbe back soon!”He said a quick spell so he could breathe underwater. Then he dived into the stream. He swam to the ocean and went deeper and deeper. Soon he arrived at a large palace.The Dragon King and the Dragon Queen were sitting at a table, having tea. The Dragon King looked over when Wukong walked in.“Who are you?” asked the Dragon King.“I’m king of the Fruit and Flower Mountain,” said W ukong. “My name is Sun Wukong.”“It’s nice to meet you,” said the queen.“Wouldyou like some tea?”“No, thank you,” said Wukong. “I need a heavy weapon because I’m as strong as a god. I want one of yours.”“Well,” said the Dragon King, “I suppose I could f ind a weapon for you.” The Dragon King looked at a turtle soldier. “Find a heavy weapon for Sun Wukong.”The turtle went out of the room. He soon came back, slowly dragging a huge sword. He dropped the sword and then fell down,out of breath.Wukong picked up the sword with no trouble at all. Swish!Swoosh!He waved the sword through the air, pretending to fight.“This sword is too light,” said Wukong.“Find me a better weapon!”“This monkey is rude,” the Dragon Queen whispered to her husband.“You’re right,dear,” the Dragon King whispered back. “Let’s find him something quickly so he’ll leave.”A few minutes later, several turtles and octopuses dragged an enormous spear into the room.“There,” said the Dragon King. “That looks like a very heavy weapon. Right, Wukong?”Wukong lifted the spear and began stabbing at the air. He shook his head. “This spear is too light.”The Dragon King snorted. “That spear is very heavy! How can you say it’s too light?”“To me, it’s light,” said Wukong. “Find me something else!”“We don’t have anything else,” said the Dragon King. “That’s the heaviest weapon we have.”Wukong stomped his foot. “I’m not leaving until I get what I want!”“This is an outrage!” said the Dragon King.The queen whispered to him again. “What about the m agical iron bar in the treasury? I’m sure that’s heavy enough.”“We can’t give that to him,” said the Dragon King. “It’s a treasure from Heaven.”“Who cares?” said the queen. “I just want this monkey out of my palace!”The Dragon King sighed. “Wukong, we might have something heavy enough for you.”“Bring it here,” said Wukong.“We can’t,” said the Dragon King. “It’stoo heavy for anyone to lift. But if you can lift it, we’ll let you have it.”“Show me where it is,” said Wukong.The group went to the treasury. An enormous iron pillar stood in the center of the room. Beams of golden light shone from it.“That pillar was used to measure all the oceans and rivers,” said the Dragon King.Wukong went closer and looked up at the large piece of iron.The Dragon King folded his arms. “If youcan pick it up, you can have it.”。

Every time they triedto leave, the squire begged them to stay longer.Finally, one morning during breakfast, the Tang Monk insisted on leaving. “We’ll never fetch the True Scriptures if we stay here.”“Please don’t leave,” said Squire Kou. “Y ou are very important monks. Having you as guests is a good deed.”F“I’d like to stay here,” said Bajie. He took a bite of a peach.“No. Master’s right,” said Wukong. “We must continue our journey.”Lady Kou grew angry. “You monks are ungrateful! We have fed you and taken care of you. Yet you can’t wait to leave!”“We are very grateful,” said the Tang Monk. “But we cannot stay any longer.”After breakfast Wujing got the horse from Squire Kou’s stable. Bajie gathered the bags. The Tang Monk thanked Squire and LadyKou, and the travelers headed west.“They are ungrateful,” muttered Lady Kou.The next morning Lady Kou ran into the town’s courthouse. Tears filled her eyes. “I* * *must speak with the judge!” she cried.The judge rushed to her. “Lady Kou! What’s wrong?”“Robbers broke into our house last night,” said Lady Kou breathlessly.“They stole many valuable items and two of our horses. Squire Kou tried to stop them, but the robbers . . . They . . . killed my husband!” Lady Kou burst into tears.The judge gasped. “Oh no! Did you see the robbers?”Lady Kou sniffed. “Yes, and I know whothey are.”“Who are they?” asked the dy Kou gritted her teeth. “The Tang Monk and his companions!”The judge turned to a soldier. “Gather some soldiers and arrest the Tang Monk and hiscompanions!”“I’m glad we’re headed west again,” said the Tang Monk as the travelers walked. “I’m eager to reach the Western Paradise.”Wujing nodded. “We were delayed at Squire Kou’s house for too long.”Bajie snorted. “We should have stayed* * *longer.”Suddenly a group of men stepped onto the road. They carried swords and axes. Theirhorses carried several large bundles.“Give us your money!” shouted one man.Wukong pulled out his iron bar.“Wukong,” said the Tang Monk. “Remember, you must not harm people.”Wukong smiled. “I’m just going to talkto them, Master.” He turned to the man who had shouted. “We have no money.”“No money, huh?” said the man. “Well then, we’re going to beat up all of you.”Wukong laughed. “You don’t realize who I am. I’m Sun Wukong, the Monkey King!”“I don’t care who you are,” said the man. “We’re dangerous robbers! Last night we robbed a very wealthy squire.”The Tang Monk raised his eyebrows. “A squire?”Wukong quickly recited a spell, whichfroze the robbers. Wujing rushed to the horses and opened one of the bundles. Inside were dishes, jewels, and other valuable items.Wujing gasped. “These items belong to Squire Kou! So do the horses!”The Tang Monk bit his lip. “Squire Kou isa good man. We must return his belongings.”Everyone agreed.Wukong recited another spell, and the robbers became unfrozen. The monkey grew large, and fire burned in his eyes. “Get out of here!” he thundered. “And never steal again!”The robbers screamed and ran away.The travelers headed back toward town with the squire’s horses. Soon they saw a groupof soldiers on horseback.“Those soldiers are riding toward us,” said Wujing.“I wonder what they want,” said the Tang Monk.One of the soldiers pointed a sword at the travelers. “Stop, thieves! Y ou’re all under arrest!”。

Wukong is dangerous.”The raptor nodded.“Bah!” The elephant demon waved his hand. “I’m not afraid of that silly monkey. I have a perfect plan to defeat him and capture the Tang Monk.”The lion shook his head. “The last time youT had a plan, I wound up with a broken tooth.”The elephant snorted. “Just leave everythingto me.”Wukong returned to his companions. Heheard Bajie and Wujing arguing.“We can’t go home!” shouted Wujing.“We’re on an important journey.”* * *“But Wukong got eaten by the lion demon,” said Bajie.“Without Wukong, we’ll never get to the Western Paradise.”“Here I am!” said the monkey.Everyone spun around.“You’re alive!” cried the Tang Monk.“Yes, I am,” said Wukong. “I beat up that lion’s insides and broke one of his teeth. Thedemons are scared of me now. They promised to let us cross their mountain safely.”“That’s wonderful,” said the Tang Monk.Wujing helped the monk climb onto the horse. The other travelers started walking.They hadn’t gone far when they saw a large figure ahead, blocking the road.“That’s the elephant demon,” said Wukong with a frown. “What is he doing here?”“We want the Tang Monk!” shouted the elephant.The Tang Monk fainted.Wukong turned to Bajie. “I’ve been dealing with these demons all day. It’s yourturn to fight them.”Bajie sighed. “Okay.” Waving his rake, the pig charged toward the elephant. “You’ll never harm my master!”The elephant blocked the rake, spun around, and struck back.Bajie jumped out of the way.The elephant jerked his head, and his trunk shot out. Before Bajie could duck, the trunk wrapped tightly around his body.Wukong groaned as the elephant ran off with Bajie. The monkey turned to his companions. “You two wait here. I’ll go save the pig.”Wukong returned to the demons’ cave and turned into a fly. He found Bajie deep inside the cave. The pig was tied up, floating in a tub of salt water.Wukong changed back into himself anduntied his companion.“Thank you,” said Bajie. “Those demons were planning to pickle me!”“You’re welcome, Bajie,” said Wukong.“Now let’s—whaa!”The elephant’s trunk wrapped tightly around Wukong’s chest. Then the elephant stepped out of a dark corner.“I knew you’d come to save your friend,” said the elephant. “Now you can’t protect the Tang Monk. My trunk is very strong!”Wukong’s arms were still free. He pulled out his iron bar, which instantly grew. Withall his strength, he slammed it down on the elephant’s trunk.“Ow! Ow! Ow!” the elephant cried. He released Wukong and fell backward. His trunk had a horrible purple bruise.Wukong moved toward the elephant, his iron bar raised high.The elephant’s eyes went wide. “Please don’t hurt me anymore! We’ll let the TangMonk cross the mountain!”The monkey glared at the elephant for a moment. Then he put the iron bar away. “You’d better not trick us again.”Wukong and Bajie left the cave and returned to their companions. The group continued over the mountain.As the travelers came around a bend, they saw the lion and the elephant. The twodemons were blocking the road.Wukong stomped toward them. “What are you doing? You promised to—”“Wukong, help us!” cried the Tang Monk.Wukong spun around.

Level 5The Metal RingCopyright © 2016 by Little Fox Co., Ltd.All rights reserved.he demon tied up the Tang Monk in adark room. Then the demon dragged in Bajie and Wujing. They were still trapped in the vests. The demon dumped them in a corner and approached the monk.“I’ve been hoping you would pass my mountain,” the demon said with an evil smile.“Please let us go,” said the Tang Monk.T“We’re trying to reach the Western Paradise.”“I know where you’re going,” said thedemon. “I also know that I’ll live forever if Ieat you.”“Who are you?” demanded Wujing fromthe corner.The demon turned to face him. “I amOne-Horned Buffalo.”“Our friend will find us soon,” said Bajie.“He’s very powerful. And when he learns that you kidnapped us, he’ll destroy your entire mountain.”One-Horned Buffalo smirked. “Who is your friend?”“His name is Sun Wukong,” said Bajie.The demon’s smirk disappeared. “Is he the Sun Wukong who caused trouble in Heaven?” The demon sounded nervous.“Yes, he is,” said Wujing. “Heaven’s entire army couldn’t defeat him.”“Even the Jade Emperor is afraid of him,” Bajie added.One-Horned Buffalo stood taller. “Well, I’m not afraid of him!”The demon walked out of the room. Once he was away from the others though, he grew worried again. “That monkey is powerful,”he said to himself. “I’m going to need my special weapon to defeat him.”He lifted his sleeve, revealing a metal ring around his arm.Carrying food, Wukong returned to where he’d left his friends. When he didn’t seethem, he looked up toward the monastery.* * *The building was gone. In its place was a dark cave.Wukong shook his head. “That monastery was an illusion. A demon must have made it to trick people.” He stamped his foot. “Why don’t my friends believe me when I warn them about demons?”He put down the food and rushed to the cave.“Open up!” shouted the monkey. “If you don’t, I’ll turn this entire mountain into a pile of rubble!”The door flew open, and One-Horned Buffalo stepped out.“Why are you yelling?” demanded the demon. “It’s rude!”“Release my friends!” yelled Wukong.“No.” One-Horned Buffalo folded hisarms. “I’m not going to release your friends. They’re criminals. They stole my valuable silk vests.”“That’s a lie,” said Wukong. “The Tang Monk is a good and honest man. He would never steal. I can’t believe you would even suggest— ”“It was the pig,” said the demon.“Oh.” The monkey scratched his head.“Well, then I believe you. But that doesn’t matter!”Wukong pulled out his iron bar and swung it at the demon.One-Horned Buffalo dodged the bar,which smashed into the mountainside. Rocks exploded and tumbled down the mountain’s slope.The demon glared at Wukong. “Iremember you. The Jade Emperor might fear you, but I don’t!”He rushed at Wukong, and the monkey swung his iron bar again. The demon blocked it with his arm. Bam!“Ow!” cried One-Horned Buffalo, rubbing his arm. He fell to his knees and turned his back to the monkey.“My iron bar is not an ordinary weapon,”said Wukong. “It’s extremely heavy.” He noticed the demon reaching up his sleeve. “What are you doing?”One-Horned Buffalo spun around, holding up the metal ring.Instantly Wukong felt himself being pulled toward the ring. Using all of his strength, the monkey leaped into the air. But the bar was ripped from his hands.It flew into the metal ring and vanished.。
Level 5Wukong LeavesHis BodyCopyright © 2015 by Little Fox Co., Ltd.All rights reserved.ajie looked out the kitchen window. Wukong and Wujing were outsidetalking.“Wu k o n g , Wu j i ng ,” s a i d t h e p i g quietly. “Come over here. I want to tell you something.”The two companions came over to the window.“What is it?” asked Wujing.B“I heard the two priests talking,” said the pig. “There’s a ginseng tree at this abbey. They said its fruit is delicious and valuable.”Wukong smiled. “The fruit must taste wonderful.”“We should eat some,” said Wujing.Bajie rubbed his belly. “Yes,” he said. “We should.”“You two wait here,” said Wukong. “I’llgo pick some of that fruit.”The monkey went behind the abbey and found the giant ginseng tree. The fruit sparkled in the sunlight. He plucked three pieces from the tree’s branches and wentback to the kitchen.He handed Bajie and Wujing each a ginseng fruit.Wujing took a bite. “This fruit isdelicious!”“Yes,” said Wukong. “It truly is.”Bajie opened his mouth wide and threw his ginseng fruit in. Gulp!“Bajie, you should be ashamed of yourself,” said Wukong. “You didn’t even chew!”“I was too hungry to chew,” said the pig. He groaned. “And now I wish I had another ginseng fruit. I didn’t even taste that one!”At that moment the two priests were walking past the kitchen.“Did you hear what the pig said?” whispered one priest. “I think the Tang Monk’s companions are eating the ginseng fruit!”The two priests ran outside and searched the ginseng tree. Three pieces of fruit were gone.“This is terrible!” said one priest. “TheGreat Immortal will be very upset!”They ran inside and found the Tang Monk.“Your companions are criminals!” shouted one priest.“What are you talking about?” asked the monk.“They stole some of our ginseng fruit!” said the other priest.Just then Wukong, Bajie, and Wujingwalked in.“Thieves!” cried the first priest.“How dare you call us thieves!” shouted Bajie. “What did we steal?”“Don’t pretend you don’t know!” said theother priest. “You ate ginseng fruit from our master’s tree!”Wujing wiped some juice from the side of his mouth. Wukong giggled.“What is so funny?” asked the other priest.Wukong laughed harder and pointed at Bajie. “It was his idea!”“You’re the one who stole the fruit!” cried the pig.“You’re all thieves and liars!” cried one of the priests. “We invited you into our abbey as guests! And you repay us by stealing from us!”The two priests yelled and yelled. Theycalled Wukong and his companions all sorts of terrible names.“I don’t want to listen to this,” thought the monkey. He recited a quick spell and changed into a spirit form. He left his bodystanding in the room and went out behind the abbey.Wukong stood before the ginseng tree. “Those priests are rude!” he said to himself.“So what if we ate some ginseng fruit? They have no right to call us names!”Wukong grew very angry. Finally he took out his iron bar and struck the tree. There was a loud crack, and the entire tree crashed to the ground.Wukong put the iron bar back in his ear and returned to his body. The priests were still yelling.“Stop yelling!” commanded Wukong.The priests stopped yelling and looked at the monkey.“I think you made a mistake,” said the monkey with a big smile. “Why don’t you go outside to your ginseng tree and count the fruit again?”。
英文版动画品牌西游记第2集Monkey splashed through the waterfall and landed in a large cave. His eyes opened wide. The cave was filled with bamboo, trees, and beautiful flowers. Moss covered the walls. A stream flowed through the cave, and glowing light and mist filled the air.Monkey found a long table with bowls,cups, and plates. A fireplace sat against one wall. Deeper in the cave, Monkey found bedrooms with cozy beds.Outside, the other monkeys and apes were looking at the waterfall.“Do you think he made it through?” asked one monkey.“No,” said another monkey. “He probably got washed away down the river.”Suddenly—splash! Monkey shot out of the waterfall and landed in front of the group.“You’re alive!” said a monkey.Monkey laughed. “Yes! And we are very lucky! I found a perfect home for all of us. Follow me!”Monkey jumped back through the water.Some of the monkeys scratched their heads.“It still looks dangerous,” said one monkey.“Let’s go,” said the gibbon. He leaped through the waterfall.After that, another monkey jumped through. Then some more jumped.Soon all of the monkeys and apes were in the cave. Everyone ran around to see all the wonderful things.“This cave is beautiful,” said the gibbon.Some of the monkeys and apes began fighting and arguing. They grabbed plates and bowls from one another. Others fought over the bedrooms.“I saw this bed first!” yelled one monkey.“No!” yelled another monkey. “I did!”Monkey watched his friends for a moment and then folded his arms.“Ahem!” he called.All the monkeys and apes stopped what they were doing. They looked at Monkey.“I found this cave for us,” said Monkey.“That means I am now your king. Why aren’t you bowing to me?”“He’s right,” said the gibbon. He bowed to Monkey and said, “All hail the MonkeyKing.”Eve ryone else bowed too. “All hail the Monkey King!” they shouted.Many years went by. During the day the monkeys and apes played in the forest and the stream. And every night they slept safely in their cave.One night the monkeys and apes had a huge feast. Fruits and nuts covered the table.Monkeys and apes danced and sang while music played.Monkey sat on his throne and smiled. But then his smile faded. Soon he was frowning.The gibbon saw Monkey and rushed over.“Your Majesty,” said the gibbon. “You look sad. What’s wrong?”Monkey sighed. “Our life here is perfect.”“Yes, that’s true,” said the gibbon. “So why are you sad?”Monkey was quiet for a moment. Then he said, “Someday our lives will end. I wish this perfect life could last forever.”The gibbon’s eyes lit up. “Oh,” he said.“You want to live forever?”“I do,” said Monkey.The gibbon rubbed his chin. “Then you must study with a sage. Sages are very wise people. They can turn themselves into other animals. They can fly through the sky. And they know how to live forever.”Monkey smiled again. “Where can I find a sage?” he asked.“You must find a land with people,” said the gibbon. “That’s where you’ll find a sage.”The next morning Monkey built a raft and loaded food onto it. He pushed the raft into the stream and jumped on.As the raft began to float away, Monkey waved to his friends.“Don’t worry!” he called. “After I learn how to live forever, I will return!”。

We all want the Tang Monkto reach the Western Paradise.”“But we must obey the Jade Emperor’sorders,” said the woman.“Just wait a moment,” said the monkey.“I’ll go back down to the ground now. When I raise my iron bar, you can make it rain.”The woman and the Dragon King agreed to wait a moment. Wukong returned to his body.The sky cleared, and the Tiger Immortal shook with anger. “Why didn’t my spell work?” he cried.Bajie laughed at him. “Some rain! Youcouldn’t even summon one drop!”“I’ll try again,” said the Tiger Immortal.“No, you won’t,” said Wukong. “You had a chance to summon rain, and you obviously can’t. Now it’s my turn.”The monkey raised his iron bar into the air. Instantly clouds moved back in, and thunder boomed. Rain began to pour down. The crowd cheered.The Tang Monk sighed. “Wonderful! Now all the Buddhist monks will be free. And we can continue our journey.”The Tiger Immortal stomped over to Wukong. “I want another contest!”Wukong laughed. “Why would you want another contest? You’ll only lose again.”The Tiger Immortal ignored the monkey’s question. “I challenge the Tang Monk to aguessing game.”The Tang Monk’s mouth fell open. “But—”“We accept your challenge,” said the monkey with a smile.“Good,” said the Tiger Immortal. “I will be right back.” He walked away“Wukong, why did you agree to this contest?” asked the Tang Monk. “I won’t win.”“Don’t worry, Master,” said the monkey. “I’ll help you.”The Tiger Immortal soon came back with a small box. “If you can guess what’s in this box, I will let you all go free.”As the Tang Monk stared at the box, Wukong plucked a hair. Using his magic, he made the hair look like himself. Then he made himself tiny and squeezed through acrack in the box. Inside the box was a ripe peach. Quickly he ate the peach, leaving only the pit.A moment later he was standing next to the Tang Monk again.Wukong leaned toward the monk and whispered, “It’s a peach pit.”“Are you sure?” whispered the monk. “How do you know?”“Stop talking to each other!” said the Tiger Immortal. “What’s in the box?”“I think it’s a peach pit,” said the monk nervously.“Ha!” said the Tiger Immortal. “You’rewrong, Monk. It’s not just a peach pit. It’s a whole peach. I’ll show you.”The Tiger Immortal opened the box and showed it to everyone. “See?”The Tang Monk smiled. “I was right! It is a peach pit.”“What?” cried the Tiger Immortal. He looked in the box and gasped. “Who ate the peach?”Wukong laughed. “The Tang Monk guessed correctly!”“I guess we can leave now,” said Wujing.“Yes, but we should eat some dinnerfirst,” said Bajie. “All this talk about peaches has made me hungry.”Wukong looked at the Tiger Immortal. “You will set the Buddhist monks free now, right?”The Tiger Immortal glared at the monkey. “I challenge you to another contest!”。
Level 5The ThunderclapMonasteryCopyright © 2017 by Little Fox Co., Ltd.All rights reserved.he travelers walked up the Spirit Mountain.The mountain’s slopes were covered in pine trees, bamboo, and flowers. Birds sang, and small animals ran by.The Tang Monk stopped walking and turned to his companions.“I want to thank you all,” said the monk. “You have helped me to reach the Western Paradise. Y ou saved me from demons countlessT times. I couldn’t have gotten here without you.”Wukong laughed. “You don’t need tothank us, Master. We all helped each other.You helped me to be good. Now I will earnforgiveness for the evil things I did long ago.”Wujing nodded. “And I will earn forgivenessfor breaking that glass in Heaven.”“I will earn forgiveness for causing troublein Heaven too,” added Bajie. He waved ahand toward the horse. “And remember—that horse is really a dragon. He accidentally set fire to his father’s palace. He too will earn forgiveness.”Wukong smiled. “See, Master? We are allthankful.”They continued up the mountain and were soon surrounded by clouds. Bright light shone from the Thunderclap Monastery above.The travelers arrived at an enormous gate, where two guards stood. Beyond the gate the Thunderclap Monastery’s towers and arches sparkled with bright light.“Greetings,” said the monk to the guards. “I am the Tang Monk, and I’m here to receive the True Scriptures from Buddha.”“You may enter,” said one of the guards.The Tang Monk and his companions reacheda large hall. Buddha sat at the opposite end of the hall. Other buddhas and bodhisattvas stood behind him. Guanyin was standing next to Buddha and smiling.The travelers bowed.“Congratulations,” said Buddha. “Y ou have all traveled far and faced many challenges. Y ou have done well.”Wukong’s heart swelled. He wiped a tearfrom his eye.“Thank you,” said the Tang Monk. “It was an honor to make the journey.”Servants brought a meal to the travelers. When the travelers were done eating, a guard led them to a large room filled with magical light and mist. Wooden chests lined the walls.* * *Inside the chests were countless scrolls.“Marvelous,” the Tang Monk murmured.“The True Scriptures are written on these scrolls,” said the guard. He picked out three scrolls and handed them to the Tang Monk.Speechless, the monk gazed at the scrolls. Then he handed them to Wujing and Bajie. The two spirits carefully wrapped the scrolls and placed them in a bag.Again the travelers bowed before Buddha.“Take the True Scriptures back to the Tang Empire,” said Buddha.“Ugh, another long journey,” Bajie murmured.“Stop complaining, Bajie,” whispered Wukong.Bajie whispered back. “Don’t tell me what to do.”* * *“Both of you, stop arguing!” whispered Wujing.Buddha was still talking. “The scriptures will teach the people there to be good and to treat each other kindly. But take good care ofthe scriptures. They are extremely valuable. Once you have delivered them, you shall come back here to receive your rewards.”“Don’t worry, Buddha,” said Wukong.“We will protect the scriptures with our lives.”A guard offered to carry the travelers to the Tang Empire.“Thank you,” said the Tang Monk.“What a relief!” said Bajie.The guard recited a spell and then flew out of the monastery with the travelers.Buddha turned to Guanyin. “The Tang Monk and his companions have done well.”Guanyin nodded. “Wukong especially has learned a lot during the journey. He isn’t violent anymore. I believe he is now a good Buddhist.”Just then a messenger ran into the hall. “Bodhisattva!” he cried. “We have a problem!”。

hope we reach the Western Paradise soon,”
said the Tang Monk. “This journey has been very dangerous.”
Bajie nodded. “Those three demons tried to pickle me!”
Everybody laughed, even Bajie.
“Wukong, what happened to those demons?” asked Wujing.
“Buddha took them away,” said Wukong.
I“I’m sure they were punished.”
“Thank you again for saving us,” said the
Tang Monk.
Wukong waved his hand. “It was nothing,
Master. Buddha did most of the work.”
The group felt a strong wind blow down
from the mountains up ahead. A dark fog
filled the sky and then disappeared.
The Tang Monk was nervous. “Wh-what
caused that wind and fog?”
“Relax, Master,” said Wukong. “I’m sure it was something harmless—maybe some small demons. I’ll go check.”
The monkey walked up the road and
around a bend. He heard laughter and looked up. High above the road, a fat monster was sitting on the edge of a cliff. Several little demons sat next to the monster. Wukong flew
up to get a closer look.
The fat monster appeared to be concentrating. Suddenly . . . “Braap!” A burp as loud as thunder blew down the mountain.
The demons giggled and laughed.
“That was your best burp yet!” cried one demon.
The monster patted his belly. “Yes, I’m proud of that one.”
“Show us the fog again!” said another demon. “Coming right up!” said the monster. He covered one nostril with a finger, closed his eyes, and blew hard. Dark fog poured out of his other nostril.
The demons clapped and cheered.The monster smiled and then . . . “Braap!” More wind blew down the mountain.There was a roar of laughter. One demon
nearly fell off the cliff.
Wukong shook his head. “I’m not worried about these demons,” he said to himself. “They’re disgusting but not dangerous.” The monkey smiled. “It does give me an idea though . . .”
Wukong returned to his companions, who were waiting alongside the road.
“Did you see any demons?” asked Wujing.
Wukong shook his head. “The road is safe.”Then the monkey pulled Bajie aside. “Bajie,” he whispered. “There’s a village up ahead. The people there are preparing a huge feast. I saw vegetables, noodles, tofu, steamed
buns, and all sorts of delicious food. I thought maybe you’d like to go before us and start eating.”
Bajie licked his lips. “Thank you for thinking
of me, Wukong. I am rather hungry right now.” The pig turned to the Tang Monk. “Master, I think I should go ahead and check the mountain too. I trust Wukong, of course. But we must protect you, and I’d like to be extra safe.”The Tang Monk smiled. “I’m impressed, Bajie. Thank you for doing extra work.”Bajie winked at Wukong and then headed up the road.
“Braap!” The monster burped again, and another wind blew. Then he blew more fog from one nostril.
The demons laughed hysterically. Suddenly there was a loud rumbling sound, and everyone was silent.
The monster patted his big belly. “I’m hungry.”
* * *
The demons looked at one another.“I’m hungry too,” said one.
“It’s probably time for lunch,” said another.The monster stood up. “Let’s go down to the road and find some people to eat!”The demons cheered and followed the monster down the mountain. When they got to the road, they made themselves look like people.
The monster chuckled. “The next time someone comes along this road, it’s lunchtime!”
For a few moments, they waited. Then a large pig came around the bend.
“Hello!” said Bajie, smiling. “I’m here for the feast!”。
