Chapter 107 Baoxiang Kingdom: Sun Wukong's Clever Trick to Deceive Monsters
Meanwhile, the yellow-robed monster rode a whirlwind and headed straight back to the Wave Moon Cave.
He descended from the clouds and landed in front of the cave. He was also extremely anxious and ignored the situation inside the cave, rushing straight into the inner chamber.
He passed through the front hall and came to the door of the inner chamber. He stopped and listened carefully.
The sound of two children laughing could be heard from inside.
The Yellow-Robed Monster felt relieved and pushed open the door to enter.
The two children were playing by the bed. When they saw him enter, they both looked up and exclaimed, "Father is back!"
The monster was still drunk and had let his guard down when he saw the two children were unharmed, so how could he recognize them?
He agreed, stepped forward, and took one child in each arm, pulling them into his embrace. He asked, "My children, where is your mother?"
The child that the traveler had transformed into said, "Mother said she went to the back mountain to pick fruit for me, and will be back in a little while."
The yellow-robed monster nodded and then asked, "Tell me, has anyone else come here today?"
The pilgrim said, "I inform my father that there are only my brother and I; there are no others."
Upon hearing this, most of the doubts in the Yellow Robe Monster's mind dissipated.
He let out a long sigh, leaned against the headboard, and muttered to himself, "I bet that Pigsy was just bluffing. He threw someone down from mid-air and claimed he was my son."
He thinks he can trick me into leaving? Hmph, how could such a petty trick fool me?
The traveler stepped forward and asked, "Father, what does 'bluffing' mean?"
The man in the yellow robe laughed and said, "It's all a lie."
The pilgrim asked, "Why did Pigsy lie to my father?"
The Yellow-Robed Monster said, "He wanted to save that Tang Monk, but he couldn't beat me, so he resorted to such despicable means."
The pilgrim pretended to tilt his head and think for a moment, then asked, "Father, is that Tang Sanzang very powerful?"
The yellow-robed monster scoffed, "What's so great about him? He's just a mortal monk with mortal eyes. I could blow him to death with a single breath."
The pilgrim clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Father's divine might is unparalleled, and his magical power is incomparable. He must fear no one!"
The Yellow-Robed Monster was greatly pleased by the praise and laughed heartily, "Of course! Even if Sun Wukong, who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, came, I wouldn't be afraid of him!"
Upon hearing this, the pilgrim secretly gave Baili Bo a wink, and Baili Bo stepped forward and asked, "Father, who is this Sun Wukong?"
The Yellow-Robed Monster said, "He's just a monkey. But back then, he made a great disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, calling himself the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Even when the Jade Emperor sent 100,000 heavenly soldiers to capture him, they couldn't subdue him."
Finally, he was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain by the Western Sage Buddha, and it has been more than five hundred years since then.
The pilgrim chuckled inwardly upon hearing this: "This fellow doesn't know that I've already escaped from the Five Elements Mountain, hence his audacity to speak so confidently again!"
But he said, "If what Father says is true, then isn't Sun Wukong also extremely powerful? Could it be that his supernatural powers are even greater than Father's, and his magical abilities are even stronger?"
The Yellow-Robed Monster frowned and said, "My son, why do you always boost the morale of others while diminishing your own? That Sun Wukong is just relying on an iron cudgel to cause trouble. If we're talking about real skill, how could he possibly be my match?"
The pilgrim said, "I don't believe it. How can Father prove that he is more powerful than Sun Wukong?"
The man in the yellow robe laughed, "My son, you may not know this, but your father possesses a treasure, a rare gem, unparalleled in heaven and earth!"
The traveler's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "What treasure? Father, let me see it!"
The man in the yellow robe laughed, "That treasure is inside my belly, how could I possibly see it?"
The traveler asked, "Inside the belly? What kind of treasure is that?"
The yellow-robed monster said smugly, "This is the exquisite inner core of the relic. I refined it by fusing my own inner core with a relic."
With this elixir in hand, Father will possess boundless magical power. Even if Sun Wukong came, I could beat him to a pulp!
The pilgrim stepped forward and said, "Father, having an inner elixir is fine, but why fuse it with a relic?"
The yellow-robed monster said, "My son, you don't know, but I have long intended to turn to the West, so I fused this relic with my own to achieve a golden body, as a token of my loyalty."
Upon hearing this, the pilgrim thought to himself, "If I also send this suicidal demon like you to the West, what's the point of me going to fetch the scriptures?"
Unable to think further, the pilgrim asked, "Father, what does that inner core look like? Show it to us!"
The yellow-robed monster shook his head and said, "How can that be? Once the inner core is released, the magical power will dissipate. What if an enemy takes the opportunity to attack?"
The traveler said, "There are only the three of us here, where would we find enemies? Just let us take a look, just one look!"
Seeing this, Baili Bo also pleaded, "Father, we've never seen this treasure before. Please show it to us!"
The yellow-robed monster, having exhausted all his options and considering that there was indeed no danger in the cave, said, "Alright, alright, I'll just take a look."
Having said that, he sat cross-legged, began to practice his internal energy, and opened his mouth wide.
Sure enough, a bright pearl slowly flew out of his mouth, hovering in mid-air, its brilliance dazzling, illuminating the entire room.
Upon seeing it, the traveler and Baili Bo exclaimed in unison, "What a wonderful treasure! It's truly beautiful!"
The yellow-robed monster said smugly, "How about it? This treasure of mine, let alone the two of you, even the Great Immortals of the Nine Heavens would be envious!"
Upon hearing this, the pilgrim's eyes darted around, and he asked again, "Father, may I touch this treasure?"
The yellow-robed monster said, "Of course, my son will also need to cultivate in the future, so I'll let you touch me first. But you must be careful not to flick me with your thumb. If you do, you'll see my true form."
Upon hearing this, the pilgrim chuckled to himself, "This wicked monster is quite honest; he confessed without any torture. Let's wait until he brings out his treasure, then flick it and see what kind of monster he is."
The monkey took it, deliberately touched it, and then handed it to Baili Bo, saying, "Brother, you should touch it too."
Baili Bo simply reached out and touched it, but then he saw the traveler give him a wink, and he immediately understood and flicked it away with a finger.
The Yellow-Robed Monster panicked and lunged to snatch it, but Baili Bo was also caught off guard and swallowed the treasure whole.
The demon clenched its fist, ready to strike, but the pilgrim blocked it with one hand, wiped its face, and revealed its true form, saying, "Demon! Don't be rude! Take a look and see who I am!"
Upon seeing this, the monster exclaimed in alarm, "Oh! My son, how could you show such a face?"
The traveler cursed, "You wretched monster! Who's your son? I'm your ancestor!"
The Yellow-Robed Monster suddenly realized, "I think I recognize you."
The traveler said, "I won't hit you yet, take another look."
The man in the yellow robe said, "Although you look familiar, I can't recall your name for a moment. Who are you, and where did you come from? Where are my son and wife? Yet you come to my house to swindle my treasure? How utterly rude! How despicable!"
The pilgrim said, "You don't recognize me either. I am Tang Sanzang's eldest disciple, named Sun Wukong. I am your ancestor from five hundred years ago!"
