Journey to the West: Black Six Ears

066. Golden-Winged Roc

The three demons met outside the city of Baoxiang Kingdom.

"The place that the two Bodhisattvas finally decided on is right here."

The golden-winged roc spoke to the two demons beside it.

The blue-haired lion monster and the yellow-toothed old elephant stood nearby, staring at the capital of Baoxiang Kingdom not far away.

In this place, one can clearly see the bright lights and revelry of the capital, and the imperial city is filled with joy.

It is said that the princess of Baoxiang Kingdom has returned.

Not only did she return, but the princess also brought back a handsome prince consort.

It is said that this prince consort came from the East.

"From the East?"

The golden-winged roc's ears twitched.

The sound of the wind reaching the ears of the Golden-Winged Roc.

He was different from the other demons; he kept a close eye on news from the heavens.

So when the idea of ​​the Journey to the West Calamity came out, he was already prepared.

Most of the demons in the lower realms were investigated, and the two demons of Lion Camel Ridge were finally chosen.

Actually, his original target should have been the Bull Demon King. That old bull was arrogant and conceited, and a very easy target to exploit.

However, the Bull Demon King had an Iron Fan Fairy by his side.

The Bull Demon King is easy to deal with, but the Iron Fan Fairy is more troublesome. She has some connections with the above and is likely to cause trouble.

So in the end, the decision was made to use these two demons, mainly because they were easier to deal with.

Now, at this critical moment, the Golden-Winged Roc is still pondering.

"Third brother, what are you thinking about?"

The blue-haired lion monster stared at the golden-winged roc, its face full of questions.

The white elephant standing to the side quickly chimed in:

"Third brother, what do we do now? We've gotten ourselves into such big trouble."

The golden-winged roc's gaze swept over the two of them.

I have a feeling that there's something wrong with these two guys today.

But right now, the two demons aren't that indispensable; the most important person is still the pilgrim.

The Golden-Winged Roc stopped thinking about it and simply said to the two demons:

"There is a prince consort from the East in this capital. Even if he is not Xuanzang, he is still related to the pilgrims."

The blue lion and the white elephant looked at each other in bewilderment.

The two spoke at the same time:

"Shall we arrest him?"

The golden-winged roc looked at the two of them, a strange glint in its eyes:

"In that case, eldest and second brothers go and arrest them, I'll stay here and keep watch."

Upon hearing this, the two demons did not refuse.

But looking at the Golden-Winged Roc, his tone was heavy:

"We three brothers are all loyal and righteous. Once we subdue the pilgrims, we will roam freely in the future world."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three demons all laughed.

However, before setting off, the two demons had one more question:

"This time, you won't eat all the people of Baoxiang Kingdom, will you?"

"If you're in a good mood, it's not necessarily a bad thing to take advantage of someone completely."

The Golden-Winged Roc laughed heartily, but then sighed, "It's a pity we can't go to the Eastern Lands. They say the people there have delicate skin and are very delicious."

"But once we've eaten the pilgrims, there won't be any place we can't go."

The Golden-Winged Roc was very confident about this.

For him, consuming the pilgrims was actually not difficult.

The rare thing is if this matter leads to the desired outcome within Buddhism.

He wasn't an old elephant with yellowed teeth, and he had no intention of leaving the Buddhist order to find a place to spend the rest of his life in peace.

The Golden-Winged Roc knew very well that without the protection of Buddhism, he would absolutely not be able to survive the great calamity that occurs once every 125,000 years.

If one wishes to live as long as heaven and earth, then one can only choose Buddhism or Taoism.

He was going to trade the lives of the pilgrims for his own future.

If you, Buddha, don't want the journey to the West to end here, then please arrange a proper place for me.

He wouldn't accept anything like an Arhat, nor would he accept anything like a powerful Bodhisattva; only a golden body of enlightenment was what he desired.

"Let's go."

The green lion called out to the white elephant.

The two of them flew towards Baoxiang Kingdom without prior arrangement.

At this moment, Baoxiang Kingdom was truly bustling with activity.

The princess, whom she hadn't seen for many years, returned home with a prince consort, who turned out to be a capable man.

His magical skills astonished even the well-informed king, who exclaimed that he was an immortal from the East.

However, the expression on the yellow-robed monster's face was not very pleasant.

He held the princess tightly, his eyes gloomy.

"I want to go back to the Black Pine Forest."

"What's so great about that place?"

The princess was anxious; she knew very well who the Yellow Robe Monster was.

Given the Yellow Robe Monster's temperament, if he says he wants to return to the Black Pine Forest, he definitely won't be going back alone; he'll be taking the princess and the child with him.

There was nothing there except a cave, with only some small monsters and some furniture that the Yellow-Robed Monster had somehow acquired.

That place was pure torture for the princess, who had been pampered for over a decade.

Now that she has finally returned to Baoxiang Kingdom, how could she possibly want to go back?

Upon hearing the princess's words, the Yellow-Robed Monster, who had no worries about the future, hardened his expression.

Having completed the Dragon Girl's mission, the Yellow Robe Monster had been relieved of some of his worries.

At least officially, there's no need to worry about him going down to the mortal realm without permission.

But this matter is ultimately not respectable, so it's best not to be so open about it. Once it's discovered, it will inevitably cause trouble.

Although the Kingdom of Baoxiang is not large, it is one of the sources of faith and aspiration in heaven.

Staying here means we might get caught by our superiors any day; there's no need to invite trouble.

Seeing the yellow-robed monster's expression change, the princess knew something bad was about to happen and quickly shook her head, saying:

"It's not that I don't want to go back, I just want to stay in the palace for a few days before going back."

The princess tried to explain, but the yellow-robed monster's expression grew increasingly grim, his eyes now bordering on indifference.

Just then, two gusts of wind swept in from outside the window.

The yellow-robed monster immediately turned his head to look out the window, ignoring the princess completely, and jumped straight out.

Soon, a series of crackling sounds of battle erupted within the imperial city of Baoxiang Kingdom.

All these sounds reached the ears of the Golden-Winged Roc.

He nodded in satisfaction.

The two fellows, the Green Lion and the White Elephant, were useless, but at least they were obedient.

However, in the pilgrimage team, there was the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, and also a yellow-haired weasel.

These two oddballs are a bit troublesome.

Before long, the battle in the distance ended.

A moment later, two figures appeared in front of the Golden-Winged Roc.

At this moment, the two figures were covered in wounds and blood.

It seems they went through a very painful battle, and they must have been defeated.

"Third brother, they've made preparations there; we're no match for them."

The blue lion leaned against a tree, its face covered in blood.

The white elephant was in the same boat; he too wore a look of despair.

"Third brother, why don't we leave? The guys around this pilgrim are too powerful."

The golden-winged roc paused, but seeing how miserable they were, it didn't seem to care.

The Green Lion and White Elephant were not strong, so they were helpless against Sun Wukong.

But he is a golden-winged roc, who specializes in catching monkeys.

"I'll do it."

The Golden-Winged Roc shook itself, revealing its true form. It spread its wings and flew towards the Kingdom of Treasure Elephant.

The two demons stared at him, only to see that this demon could travel 90,000 li with a single flap of his wings. Even when Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, 100,000 heavenly soldiers could not capture him because he could ride the somersault cloud and travel 108,000 li in one go, so the gods could not catch up with him.

However, the Roc caught up with it in just two flaps of its wings. If it were chasing someone, even Sun Wukong's somersault cloud wouldn't be able to escape.

"If you want to kill him, you have to seal his wings."

Unlike Sun Wukong and Sun Qiong, who rely on magical powers and treasures to fly, the Golden-Winged Roc flies using its own wings.

Therefore, as long as his wings are removed, his speed can be sealed.

The green lion's appearance gradually changed, slowly transforming into the likeness of Sun Qiong.

The white elephant standing in front of him also changed little by little, and when he looked again, it had become the appearance of the Yellow Wind King.

"Was that red water array you set up in the palace really effective?"

Even the Yellow Wind King had absolutely no confidence in dealing with the Golden-Winged Roc.

As the Buddha's maternal uncle, the Garuda had an extraordinary status and extremely powerful strength.

Even if they cooperated with Sun Qiong, the two of them might not be able to defeat each other.

"I don't know either, it's the first time I've used that thing."

Sun Qiong shook his head; he didn't know if the Red Water Formation would actually be effective against the Golden-Winged Roc.

However, the traps set inside would at least allow that roc to have some fun.
