Chapter 30
Sha Seng and the Yellow Robe Monster fought.
Sha Seng could not defeat the monster, was caught by the monster, and was taken into the cave.
The monster tied Sha Seng up.
The Yellow Robe Monster grew suspicious in his heart.
He thought: Did the princess secretly send a letter to Baoxiang Kingdom, so the king sent troops to capture me?
Thinking of this, he became very angry, grabbed the princess, and asked her loudly.
The princess was very scared and dared not admit it.
At this moment, the tied-up Sha Seng shouted loudly: Monster. Do not trouble the princess. It was I who saw the king's notice looking for the princess in the city, learned her identity, and came to rescue her myself.
This has nothing to do with the princess.
The Yellow Robe Monster listened to Sha Seng's words and believed them.
He thought this was a misunderstanding.
Therefore, the monster set up a banquet and apologized to the princess.
While drinking, the Yellow Robe Monster suddenly wanted to go to the Elephant Kingdom to see the king.
He used magic to transform into a handsome young man.
He came to the royal palace and said to the king: Thirteen years ago, the princess encountered a tiger in the wilderness; I saved her from the tiger's mouth and married her.
Today, I came specially to pay my respects to you.
The king saw that this son-in-law was very good-looking and was very happy in his heart.
The Yellow Robe Monster secretly used demon magic again, making everyone in the great hall see Tang Seng as a big tiger.
The king saw the tiger and was very scared, immediately ordering the guards to lock the tiger spirit into an iron cage.
The king also prepared a sumptuous feast to entertain this son-in-law.
White Dragon Horse stayed at the inn.
He heard people on the street saying that the court had captured a monk transformed from a tiger.
White Dragon Horse understood in his heart that his master must have been harmed by a monster.
Now Sun Wukong has been driven away, and Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng don't know where they are, so only he himself is left to go save his master.
So, White Dragon Horse transformed into a white dragon and flew into the imperial palace.
He saw the Yellow Robe Monster drinking alone in a side hall.
The white dragon then transformed into a beautiful palace maid, walked over, and poured wine for the Yellow Robe Monster.
The Yellow Robe Monster was very happy and asked her to dance with a sword to liven things up.
Little White Dragon pretended to dance with a sword, taking advantage of the monster's inattention, and suddenly stabbed towards the monster with one sword.
The Yellow Robe Monster moved quickly, dodged to the side, and avoided it.
The monster instead struck out, injuring Little White Dragon's hind leg.
Little White Dragon was injured, hurriedly jumped into the Imperial Water River outside the hall, and escaped along the water.
On the other side, Zhu Bajie woke up in the grass.
He felt he couldn't defeat the Yellow Robe Monster, didn't dare to return to the cave to save Sha Seng, so he had to first go back to the inn.
He returned to the stable, saw the White Dragon Horse soaked all over, with injuries on its leg.
Zhu Bajie was feeling strange, when suddenly he heard the White Dragon Horse speak, calling out "senior brother".
Zhu Bajie was startled, and fell sitting on the ground.
The White Dragon Horse told Zhu Bajie about the master encountering danger and its own failed assassination attempt.
The White Dragon Horse urged Zhu Bajie to go to Huaguo Mountain immediately to ask the eldest brother Sun Wukong to come back and save their master.
Zhu Bajie had no choice, so he rode a cloud to Huaguo Mountain.
He saw monkeys all over the mountain playing, so he blended into the monkey crowd and looked around everywhere.
Sun Wukong was sitting high on a stone throne and had already seen him.
Sun Wukong ordered the little monkeys to bring Zhu Bajie over.
Sun Wukong took Zhu Bajie to tour the beautiful scenery of Huaguo Mountain, but did not mention going back to save Tang Seng at all.
Zhu Bajie was very anxious in his heart, but did not dare to force the issue, so he had to bid farewell and go down the mountain.
As he walked, he couldn't help but complain softly: "This damned Bi Mawen, enjoying himself here, has no idea that the master is suffering."
Unexpectedly, this talk was heard by the little monkeys patrolling the mountain.
A group of monkeys rushed up, grabbed Zhu Bajie, and escorted him back to the Water Curtain Cave.
