Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!-Chapter 277 - 177: The Li Family Goes Crazy

Li Jing looked at Tang Sanzang as if he were some sort of monster.

Remembering Sun Wukong’s advice to talk as little as possible, Tang Sanzang didn’t waste words and headed straight for the Rice Mountain and the Flour Mountain.

Li Jing had a bad premonition, "What... what are you going to do?"

Tang Sanzang didn’t waste words either, and took a deep breath!

Hoo!

The fierce wind blew out of Tang Sanzang’s mouth, instantly causing the Rice Mountain and Flour Mountain, which even Sun Wukong couldn’t completely suck away, to disappear with a single breath!

In that moment, not to mention gods like Li Jing and Tai Bai Jin Xing, even the chickens and dogs were dumbfounded, sitting there with their eyes wide open, staring at the empty space before them.

After it was all done, Tang Sanzang tilted his head and looked at everyone, his big mouth cracked into a silly, endearing smile.

It was only then that everyone came back to their senses.

Li Jing exclaimed, "No, the Rice Mountain, the Flour Mountain, just gone? Gone?!!"

Tai Bai Jin Xing stared at Tang Sanzang intently, "How... how did you do that?"

Tang Sanzang didn’t speak, but looked at Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong laughed, "What ’how did I do it?’ Isn’t it just two piles of rice? What’s there to fuss about? Surely you all can do it, right?"

Sun Wukong’s laugh was truly joyful as he looked at the gods one by one.

The gods felt too embarrassed to admit their inability, and one by one they hummed, uncertain if they were nodding or shaking their heads, bobbing like drunkards in a most peculiar fashion.

Only Tang Sanzang was tilting his head with a disapproving look toward Sun Wukong.

Slapping his forehead, Sun Wukong suddenly remembered what he was supposed to do and hurriedly said to the gods of the Thunder Department in the crowd, "My fellows, stop staring, and get ready to bring the rain with me!"

The gods of the Thunder Department looked at each other in dismay...

Sun Wukong said, "You know, this is what the Jade Emperor said, ’Three tasks complete, and then it will rain in Phoenix County.’"

The gods of the Thunder Department replied with a wry smile, "Great Saint, we need to report back to Tian Jun before we can proceed. But don’t worry, we will definitely adhere to the Jade Emperor’s decree."

Sun Wukong waved his hand, "Then stop dawdling and go on."

The gods of the Thunder Department quickly left...

Sun Wukong then turned his gaze back to Tang Sanzang, whose expression had grown even grimmer...

Sun Wukong was momentarily stumped, thinking to himself, what on earth does this guy want? And why is he constantly blinking at me, giving me meaningful looks? Didn’t I just tell the gods of the Thunder Department to get ready for the rain?

Just as Sun Wukong was confused, Tang Sanzang couldn’t hold back any longer and shouted at someone in the crowd, "Hey, big guy holding a lump of golden crap, where are you going?"

Li Jing, who had been planning to sneak away with the gods of the Thunder Department, trembled when he heard this and hurried off even faster.

Sun Wukong then realized, "Lord Li, don’t rush off. When are you sending your daughter over?"

Li Jing stood there awkwardly, clearing his throat, "Great Saint, I was just joking with you."

Tang Sanzang furrowed his brows and Sun Wukong felt a shiver in his heart. He quickly rushed up, grabbed Li Jing by the collar, and glared down at him, "What? The mighty Lord of the Pagoda is going to welch on the deal with me, Old Sun?"

At the same time, Sun Wukong frantically blinked at Li Jing.

If Zhu Ganglie and the others were here, they would definitely understand the meaning: "If you don’t want to die, send your daughter over quickly. Otherwise, you’re on your own; even I, Old Sun, can’t protect you."

Unfortunately, Li Jing didn’t understand at all...

Watching the monkey before him throwing winks, he said pitifully, "Great Saint, how about I go with you?"

"Pah!"

Sun Wukong spat in his face, "What do I need you for? Where’s your daughter?"

Li Jing pitifully said, "Great Saint, I..."

Sun Wukong laughed heartily and said, "Li Tianwang, I know things are urgent. You should go back and get ready; we also need to prepare. Well, that’s it for now, I’m in a hurry to go back and make it rain, so I won’t talk more with you, goodbye!"

After finishing his piece, Sun Wukong quickly grabbed Tang Sanzang and left, leaving only Li Jing standing there looking disheveled in the wind.

As Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang walked off into the distance, Li Jing suddenly broke out into a strange, sly smile despite his miserable expression: "Hehe, haha... Hahahaha..."

Ne Zha watched from the side, frowning, "Silly old dad, you’ve trapped your own daughter, and you still have the nerve to laugh? True enough, you’re the type to trick your own kids!"

Li Jing gave him a sidelong glance and said, "You dead child, if you don’t have the brains, at least try to think harder."

Ne Zha looked at Li Jing, puzzled.

Li Jing explained, "Do we not know the strength of the Six-Eared Macaque? The Great Saint caused such havoc in the Heavenly Palace; at best he was a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Are you sure that the Six-Eared Macaque could pull off dealing with the iron chains and rice-flour that even Sun Wukong couldn’t handle?"

Ne Zha’s eyes sparkled, "You mean? That wasn’t the Six-Eared Macaque but..."

Li Jing nodded and said, "It’s certainly that Tang Sanzang!"

Ne Zha gasped in shock.

Li Jing chuckled and said, "We were worried about how to marry off our precious daughter, weren’t we? This time, I just went with the flow and pulled a fast one...

Haha...

Now they’re willing to take her, and we’re willing to marry her off; isn’t that perfect for everyone?"

Realization dawned on Ne Zha, and he couldn’t help but raise a thumb and praise, "Old man, you’re awesome!"

Li Jing was extremely pleased with himself and said, "That’s called the craftiness of age! Come on, let’s go back and get the girl ready. When the Li Family marries off a daughter, it has to be done in style!"

Ne Zha nodded, and the father and son laughed together as they headed home.

In the distance, deities who saw the pair behaving this way sighed and said, "It’s over, Li Tianwang has lost his beloved daughter; he’s gone mad!"

"The deity of the Three Altars of the Sea seems to have lost it too."

Before long, people saw the entire Li Family festooned with red decorations, and large red lanterns hanging high. The bridal sedan chair was also ready.

Jin Zha and Mu Zha had also returned, each grinning foolishly at the doorway.

Then...

"It’s over, the whole Li Family has gone mad!"

...

Meanwhile, in Fengxian County.

Sun Wukong brought Tang Sanzang back. Seeing them return, the Duke of Fengxian knelt and said, "Holy monk, you have returned; how did it go?"

Sun Wukong didn’t respond but instead looked coldly at the Duke and said, "You sly fellow, acting innocent. It was clearly you who disrespected Heaven three years ago. To punish you, Heaven decreed to place mountains of rice, flour, and iron chains at the Fragrant Shrine.

Only when chickens eat all the rice, dogs lick up all the flour, and candles burn through the iron chains, will rain be granted to you!

That’s why the people here have been suffering.

Yet you told me you didn’t know why…

Humph!

Tell me, do you recognize your guilt?"

The Duke was startled upon hearing this and then began to cry and knock his head on the ground like a mortar pounding garlic, pleading, "Holy monk, I swear, I did nothing to disrespect Heaven three years ago; please enlighten me!"

Sun Wukong looked up to the heavens, and at that moment, the gods of the Thunder Department also arrived.

Seeing Sun Wukong looking at them, Wind Granny started speaking, "Duke, three years ago the Jade Emperor went out to inspect and happened upon the Duke and Duchess of Fengxian County quarreling. Normally, such matters wouldn’t concern the Jade Emperor, but this man went as far as to overturn the offering table, and let the dog eat the offerings on the ground, offending Heaven. Thus, the Jade Emperor punished Fengxian County."
