20.Journey to the West——Bottomless Pit

Sunn Wuh-kong immediately told the monks to prepare vegetarian food.The monks became very busy, washing rice, cooking, making flatbread, steaming buns, and preparing soup.In no time, four or five tables of food were set out.Before long, a gust of wind rose.As the wind blew, it carried a wave of fragrance.Sunn Wuh-kong looked up and saw a very beautiful woman walking over.The woman walked up to the little monk, hugged him tightly, and said."Little master, what scripture are you chanting."

After hearing it Ruu-lye Fwo-tzu did not get angry but instead smiled slightly and said.Those three demons have great powers and you truly could not handle them alone.This time I will go myself.Ruu-lye Fwo-tzu took Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and headed toward Lion Camel Kingdom together.Ruu-lye Fwo-tzu said to Sunn Wuh-kong.You go outside the city first and challenge them to draw the demons out.Then pretend you cannot win and turn around and flee.Sunn Wuh-kong agreed.

18.Journey to the West—— Lion Camel Ridge

After escaping danger, the four master and disciples continued westward.Not long after, they encountered another infamous mountain, the Eight Hundred Li Lion Camel Ridge.In the mountain lived three great demon kings, with more than forty seven thousand little demons under them, all living by eating humans.While Sunn Wuh-kong was gathering information, he met a mountain patrol demon.

17.Journey to the West—— The Cave of the Silken Web

Sunn Wuh-kong flew all the way, rushing across the sky, until he finally landed on a tall mountain. He put away his somersault cloud and got ready to search for the demon’s cave.
Just as he was looking around, he saw a little demon coming down the path. This little demon carried a yellow flag, had a scroll of documents on his back, and was walking while knocking a small brass gong, muttering to himself as he went.

16.Journey to the West——Capturing Demons at Bibotan

In the clearing stood an old, broken temple. Sunn Wuh-kong took one look and said, “This place is wrong. Something is off here.”Before he even finished speaking, a gust of gloomy wind blew by. An old man who claimed to be “the Local Land of this place” came out with a ghost servant behind him, a blue-faced, red-bearded fellow with his upper body bare, carrying a plate of steaming hot steamed buns on his head.The moment Juu Baa Jyeh saw food, he wanted to reach out and grab some,

15.Journey to the West—— Tang Sanzang sweeps the pagoda

Tung Sahn-zung said:“I planned to enter the palace to exchange the travel documents. But since we have encountered these monks, I cannot ignore them. Besides, when I departed from the Fa-men Temple in Chang’an, I made a vow: on the road to the Western Heaven, whenever I see a monastery, I must burn incense; and whenever I see a pagoda, I must sweep it. Since we are here, I should take a look.Sunn Wuh-kong, go find a new broom. After I bathe, I will go up the pagoda to sweep it and see what really happened. We will meet the king tomorrow and explain everything.”
 

14.Journey to the West——The Mountain of Flames

Lingji Bodhisattva took out a small silk pouch from his sleeve. He then took out the Wind-Fixing Pill from the pouch and carefully tucked it inside Sunn Wuh-kong’s collar. The Bodhisattva was worried that Sunn Wuh-kong might be careless, or that the pill might fall out. So he took a needle and thread and sewed the collar tightly, stitching the silk pouch firmly inside.

13.Journey to the West——The Two Monkey Kings

Tung Sahn-zung was riding alone on the White Dragon Horse, slowly moving forward along the mountain road.As soon as that gong stopped echoing, more than thirty men suddenly rushed out from the grass on both sides of the road and from behind the dirt slopes.They surrounded Tung Sahn-zung in an instant, blocked his way, and shouted at him in a noisy chorus, “Hand over your money! Hand over your gold and silver! Quickly give us everything valuable you’ve got on you!”

12.Journey to the West——The Kingdom of Women

That river was called the River of Sons and Mothers. If a woman drank the water, she would carry a male fetus. If a man drank the water, he would carry a female fetus.Anyone who drank the river water would show “symptoms of pregnancy.”Tung Sahn-zung was so anxious that sweat poured down his face. “Wuh-kong, Wuh-kong! Save me !”

11.Journey to the West——Tang Sanzang encounters a demon

 The White Dragon Horse didn’t dare take a single step forward.Tung Sahn-zung asked where the river came from. Juu Baa Jyeh took a look and said the river must be at least ten li wide—crossing it wouldn’t be easy. While they were still talking, a small wooden boat drifted down from upstream. A boatman rowed it to shore and warmly shouted that he could ferry them across.
