Chapter 234 Giving Advice to Eight Precepts

Monkey King dragged Pigsy to Gao Village, but Pigsy immediately bowed down to Tang Sanzang upon seeing him.

"Master, I have failed to greet you properly. If I had known that you were staying at my father-in-law's house, I would have come to pay my respects much earlier, and all these troubles would not have occurred."

Tang Sanzang was dumbfounded: "Wukong, did you damage his brain? How could he possibly become my disciple?"

Wukong released his grip, took the handle of his rake, and shouted at Zhu Bajie, "Fool! Tell me why!"

Pigsy could only recount the Bodhisattva's advice to do good in detail.

Tang Sanzang was both happy and worried. He was happy that Guanyin Bodhisattva had sent him another disciple, who could ensure his safe journey to the West. He was worried because this was yet another demon, and it seemed just as difficult to manage as Wukong.

Grandpa Gao was both happy and worried. He was happy that the demon was finally leaving after accompanying Tang Sanzang and the others on their journey to the West to obtain the scriptures. He was worried about what would happen to his youngest daughter after the demon left.

Before he could even finish worrying, Pigsy started tugging at Old Master Gao: "Father-in-law, how about you ask my wife to come out and pay her respects to your father and uncles?"

Monkey King laughed at him: "Brother, now that you've entered the Buddhist order and become a monk, from now on, don't mention that 'my humble wife' again. There are only Taoist priests living in the world, not monks living in the world. Let's all sit down quickly, have a vegetarian meal, and head to the Western Paradise as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Pigsy became unhappy. His Cuilan! Old Master Gao had no choice but to call out Gao Cuilan.

When Gao Cuilan came out and heard about this, she greeted Tang Sanzang and Wukong, and was both happy and worried.

She was happy that Pigsy was finally leaving, but worried that Pigsy, apart from being a monster and a bit ugly, was really good to her.

Gao Cuilan wasn't heartless; she just didn't know what to do for the time being.

After finishing his meal, Pigsy, quite drunk, still couldn't stop thinking about his wife. He said to Old Master Gao, "Mother-in-law, aunts, uncles, and other relatives, I'm going to become a monk today and don't have time to say goodbye in person. I hope they won't hold it against me. Father-in-law, please take good care of my wife. If we fail to obtain the scriptures, I can return to secular life and live as your son-in-law as before."

Wukong could tell he was drunk: "You idiot! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Brother, I'm not talking nonsense. I'm just afraid that something might go wrong, that we might miss the opportunity to become monks or marry wives, and that everything would be delayed."

Tang Sanzang disliked people saying they couldn't obtain the scriptures. "Stop talking nonsense, let's hurry up and get going."

So the group packed a load of luggage, with Pigsy carrying it, Tripitaka riding a white horse, and Monkey carrying an iron cudgel to lead the way.

"Well, Daiyu, have you taken a good look?" As soon as they left Gao Village, Wukong quickly contacted Daiyu.

Daiyu covered her mouth and chuckled, "Brother Great Sage looks so handsome in Cuilan, but you're really mischievous. I bet Pigsy felt like he was carrying a mountain on his back later!"

"Hehe, there's more than one, I, Old Sun, added three!" Wukong was extremely proud.

"Brother Great Sage, don't you think it's inappropriate for me to laugh at you like this?" Daiyu asked, twisting her handkerchief with some concern.

"Hey, what's the big deal? As long as it makes you happy!" It's just a transformation. Back when he learned the Seventy-Two Transformations, he could even transform into an insect.

"Really?"

"It couldn't be more real!" Wukong nodded repeatedly.

Daiyu was relieved. "But, Great Sage, your junior brother doesn't seem very happy?"

Wukong turned to look at his dejected junior brother, "He's probably reluctant to part with his wife!"

"That's true. I think Gao Cuilan seems a little reluctant to part with him!" Daiyu observed carefully. "Why don't you try to persuade him?"

Daiyu thought of how Pigsy treated Monkey King fairly well in the book; when Monkey King was in trouble, Pigsy would call on others to help him. More importantly, Pigsy would argue with Tang Sanzang!

"Are you in such a hurry to leave? Do you think your father or your mother are up ahead of you?!"

"Look at you, so smug! The moment you hear about catching monsters, you act like you've seen your grandpa!"

Especially when Tang Sanzang recited the Tightening-Headband Mantra, Wukong fainted from the pain, and Tang Sanzang asked what was wrong.

Bajie retorted, "What's wrong? Did you kill him with the pain from your incantation?"

"How could someone with a head of steel die from pain?"

"That mantra of yours was given to you by Guanyin Bodhisattva. You keep chanting it, who can stand it!"

For this reason alone, Daiyu felt that Monkey King should also show some concern for his junior brother.

"But how can I persuade him?" Monkey King scratched his head.

"Let me explain this to you in detail," Daiyu instructed Wukong.

After hearing Daiyu's words, Wukong jumped in front of Bajie.

"Fool, don't be so dejected."

Bajie muttered, "Eldest brother, you don't understand. I can't let go of Cuilan in my heart."

Wukong said, following Daiyu's instructions, "Fool, if you really miss her, then follow your master to obtain the true scriptures. When you have achieved your goal, you might even have other good fortune."

Pigsy's eyes lit up: "Really? Eldest Brother?"

"Of course it's true. When have I, Old Sun, ever lied to you?" Wukong patted his chest and assured him.

At this moment, Tang Sanzang spoke from his horse: "Wukong is right, Bajie. As long as you are devoted to Buddhism, do not let your personal feelings for your children hold you back."

Pigsy scratched his head: "Master, I understand, I will definitely try my best. But eldest brother, when will we be able to obtain the true scriptures? What if Cuilan doesn't recognize me by then?"

Pigsy was discouraged again. At Tang Sanzang's pace, by the time he retrieved the scriptures, Cuilan might already have a house full of children and grandchildren.

Daiyu, of course, knew about this problem. Wukong continued, "Look at you, I said you're silly, but you really are silly. You can fly through the clouds, but can't you go back to see your wife on this journey? Besides, we'll be passing through many cities along the way. When you go back, bring her some new and interesting things to coax her, that'll be enough."

Upon hearing this, Bajie dropped his load and rushed back to Gao Village to tell Cuilan the good news.

Wukong quickly grabbed him, "Eldest Brother?"

"You idiot, can't you change your appearance before going? Weren't you Marshal Tianpeng before?"

"But I... I'm a pig demon now!" Pigsy knew that he was now ugly.

"You're such a fool! Once we get the scriptures, you'll be free from your mortal body and regain your appearance, right? How can you expect Gao Cuilan to wait for you wholeheartedly like this!"

Once Monkey King explained, Pigsy understood, changed his appearance, and flew back to Gao Village.

Just as Gao Cuilan was feeling confused, she saw a handsome man descend from the sky.

"Who...who are you?"

"My wife, I am Zhu Bajie!"

"Didn't you leave?" Gao Cuilan exclaimed in surprise. "And why do you look like this?"

After Gao Cuilan finished speaking, she glanced at Bajie a few more times.

Bajie naturally sensed the extra gazes, and he thought to himself that what Monkey King said made a lot of sense.
