The Great Bandit of Journey to the West

Chapter 88 The Third Attack on Gao Village

Chapter 88 The Third Attack on Gao Village

Inside the Cloud Stack Cave, Jiang Feng was kneading the Qi-replenishing pills he had just made for Sister Luan.

Tianpeng barged in, accompanied by Sha Wujing whose eyes were bloodshot.

Seeing Jiang Feng's relaxed expression, Sha Wujing gritted his teeth in anger: "My good master, did you send someone to bleed me?"

Jiang Feng smiled: "You haven't eaten for a hundred years. I'm afraid you'll get too much internal heat from eating too much. Letting out some blood will help cool you down."

.

Tianpeng, equally annoyed, twitched his long nose and said, "Then what about the explanation for tricking me into going to fight?"

Jiang Feng laughed heartily: "I was just joking!"

Tianpeng: "

Seeing that the two were speechless, Jiang Feng continued, "You've come at the right time. There's some good news right now, don't say I didn't call you—"

Jiang Feng explained the situation to them and then reiterated his plan. After listening, the two men both wore expressions of utter disbelief.

A moment later, Tianpeng looked at Sha Wujing with pity: "If you can become Jiang Feng's disciple, no one will be able to trick you in the future, because you've already been tricked by him long ago —"

Sha Wujing sighed with deep resentment, "What a tragedy!"

The next morning, Bai Suzhen fiddled with the Immortal Binding Rope, imagining how she would tie Jiang Feng up.

Suddenly someone came in to report: "Young Miss, there is a monk outside who claims to be Jiang Feng, saying that he wants to marry you."

Bai Suzhen's eyes lit up: "I was just wondering where to find him, and he actually came to me himself."

After saying that, Bai Suzhen went to the reception room.

She saw a fat monk with a big head and big ears sitting in the hall. When he saw her come in, his eyes lit up and he grinned.

"This humble monk, Jiang Feng, greets Miss Gao!"

Bai Suzhen's smile froze, her eyes widening as she stared at the fat monk before her: "You're Jiang Feng? How come you've gotten so fat in just one day?"

The fat monk said, "I ate too much last night, I'm so full."

Bai Suzhen looked disgusted and said, "Why have you become even uglier?"

The fat monk chuckled and said, "A coarse willow basket and a fine willow sieve, who in this world dislikes an ugly man? I am Jiang Feng, Miss Gao, let's hurry up and get married!"

"A wedding ceremony? Go to the pigsty and do it with the sows!"

As Bai Suzhen spoke, she raised her eyebrows, and the Immortal Binding Rope flew out from her sleeve, instantly binding the fat monk tightly.

The fat monk immediately reverted to his original form, transforming into a fat, big-eared pig demon, who was none other than Tianpeng, whom Jiang Feng had sent to test him.

"So it's a pig demon! Guards, throw him into the pigsty!"

Soon, several servants surrounded him, trying to carry him away. They all tried their best, but they couldn't move him at all.

Tianpeng chuckled and said, "I'm not going to the pigsty. If you're so capable, then carry me."

"Then you can lie here!" Seeing this, Bai Suzhen knew that this person was a helper invited by Jiang Feng. She glared at him in annoyance and was about to leave.

At this moment, a servant stepped forward and said, "Young Miss, a monk has come to the door, and he says—he says he is Jiang Feng!"

Bai Suzhen paused, frowning. "Bring him in."

Before long, Sha Wujing walked in with a dark face.

Bai Suzhen looked at Sha Wujing, who had a full beard, and almost laughed out of anger: "You say you're Jiang Feng? Your beard has grown this long in just one day?"

Sha Wujing, with his neck stiff, retorted, "My beard grows fast; if I don't shave for a day, it turns into this!"

"Then why is your face also turning blue?"

"He got beaten up for being foul-mouthed!"

Bai Suzhen narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing within them: "You dare to mock me? Today I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Having said that, he tossed the Qiankun Handkerchief with his right hand. The handkerchief swelled in the wind and, in the blink of an eye, became the size of a blanket, wrapping Sha Wujing up tightly.

Looking at the two people on the ground, Bai Suzhen angrily flicked her sleeve: "You two can keep each other company here!"

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the hall.

At this moment, Jiang Feng, in his flea form, jumped out from Tianpeng's head and spoke in human language, "Have you figured out this demon's true nature?"

Tianpeng recalled, "I couldn't tell whose the Immortal Binding Rope was, but the handkerchief wrapped around Sha Wujing seemed to be the Qiankun Handkerchief of the Old Mother of Lishan. It's quite a defensive magic weapon; I've heard people talk about it in Heaven before."

"So it's the Old Mother of Lishan, huh? That's not surprising then. I've heard she's so close to Guanyin Bodhisattva that they're practically inseparable—"

Lishan Old Mother: Tell me who said this, and you'll see if I beat him to death!

Enraged, the Old Mother of Lishan summoned Bai Suzhen and bestowed upon her a Chaos Chessboard, saying, "Disciple, I've discovered you're still lacking an offensive magic weapon. This chessboard is sturdy; it hurts when it hits someone!"

Bai Suzhen was summoned for no apparent reason. She thanked her master and took the chessboard, completely bewildered.

Back in the main hall, Bai Suzhen glanced at the two people tied up on the ground, thinking of using them to lure Jiang Feng over. With a slight smile, she hung them on the attic.

Then I found a deck chair and sat in the yard to sunbathe.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Feng still hadn't come. Bai Suzhen stood up impatiently and said to the two people hanging upstairs, "It seems that you two don't hold much weight in Jiang Feng's heart. It's been so long and he still hasn't come to save you."

Tianpeng chuckled: "Save me? What are you trying to save? I've already told you I am Jiang Feng, why won't you believe me?"

Bai Suzhen rolled her eyes: "I'll hang you up for another day, let's see if you still dare to be stubborn."

Before the words had even finished, Jiang Feng walked in from the doorway, saying, "It really is Jiang Feng. Take a closer look if you don't believe me!"

Bai Suzhen conjured a chessboard that floated above her head, ready to smash it at Jiang Feng at any moment, while saying irritably, "You're spouting nonsense! If he's Jiang Feng, then who are you?"

Jiang Feng laughed and said, "I'm a puppet."

After saying that, he tore off his arm, which turned out to be a piece of wood.

Bai Suzhen was startled. Suddenly, she felt an arm strangle her neck. Then, the sharp tip of the Vajra Pestle pressed against her chest. The icy touch instantly gave her goosebumps.

Bai Suzhen turned her head and saw that the real Jiang Feng was standing right behind her, and she could hear his breathing and heartbeat clearly.

The canopy hanging in the attic had disappeared, leaving only Sha Wujing hanging there with a resentful expression, his body swaying in the wind.

Bai Suzhen's mind raced: "Was that pig demon you transformed into at the beginning? No, how come you can't untie my Immortal Binding Rope?!"

Jiang Feng flicked his right hand, releasing the spell of the Buddha Kingdom in his palm. The bean-sized Tianpeng fell from his hand to the ground and instantly returned to its normal size, while the Immortal Binding Rope remained firmly tied to his body.

"Although I can't untie the Immortal-Binding Rope, I can make the person bound by it shrink along with it!"

"I see."

Bai Suzhen suddenly realized that Jiang Feng had used magic to shrink the pig demon and put it in his palm while she was away, and he himself had transformed into the appearance of the pig demon!

No wonder he insisted that he was Jiang Feng; he was telling the truth!
