Chapter 287 - 252: Slaying Scorpion Spirit, Six Ears Should Appear
It is said that Laojun took away Rhinoceros King and Golden Helmet Mountain naturally became deserted, trees fell and Macacas scattered, and a group of Little Demons were driven away by Wukong.
Along this journey, they should have reached the Women’s Kingdom by now.
The difficulty in the Women’s Kingdom was merely Tang Sanzang’s ordeal of love. Born with a fair complexion and tender skin, Tang Sanzang, despite being bald, could still be considered a handsome man. Moreover, there had never been a man in the Women’s Kingdom before, so the king wanted to keep Tang Sanzang. Wukong simply transformed Tang Sanzang into the appearance of a woman and then changed the Travel Pass, thus naturally passing through the Women’s Kingdom.
Wukong had foreseen how the ordeal would unfold, so naturally, he did not need to drink the river water of the Women’s Kingdom. In doing so, Tang Sanzang would not become pregnant with a ghost child, and he would not need to go up the mountain to fight that Daoist Priest for water.
In the Four Great Continents, there are many hermits. Presumably, that Taoist guarding the mountain spring water was also a secluded high-ranking hermit.
The master and disciples left the Women’s Kingdom just to find themselves at Pipa Cave, where a Scorpion Demon resided with high mana. In a former life, it had beaten Wukong so badly that he cried for his father and called for his mother, until the Orion Star Official was summoned. This Orion Star Official was brimming with yang energy, controlling the power of the sun. When he shone the sun at the Scorpion Demon, it transformed into a rooster crowing twice, self-defeating without a fight. In this world, yin and yang complement each other and also restrict each other. However, the disparity in mana between Orion Star Official and the Scorpion Demon was substantial, suggesting something mysterious.
Along the way, they encountered the Scorpion Demon, who had once stung Tathagata, causing even him to scream in pain, indicating its ferocity.
Wukong knew this was one of the disasters. Suddenly, the Scorpion Demon transformed into a malicious wind and pounced, attempting to capture Tang Sanzang!
Wukong shouted, "How daring, where are you from!"
He pulled out Jingu Bang from his ears, gave it a shake, and it transformed into a bowl-sized stick one Zhang long, striking the malicious wind.
The Scorpion Demon, taken aback, quickly pulled out a steel fork to strike at Wukong!
