Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

What’s amazing is that many readers outside the book directed their accusations at Baihuaxiu.

As a mother, how could you not love your own children? Sun Wukong ordered his fellow disciples to snatch them away, so why didn’t you protect them?

This statement not only ignores the fact that Baihuaxiu released Sha Seng in order to save them, but Wukong refused to admit it and took the two children away anyway, but also acts as if Baihuaxiu can beat Wukong.

There are also further questions asking whether Baihuaxiu missed her child at all or felt sad for her child after returning to Baoxiang Kingdom?

What she said was that the Yellow Robe Monster didn't care at all, so why should she be sad?

In real life, if you chase after a trafficked woman who has started a new life and ask, "Don't you miss your previous child? Why don't you raise him? How can you be so cold-hearted and irresponsible as a mother?" Do you believe that her parents would hit you to death with a mop dipped in toilet water?

Being forced to give birth to a criminal's child, one is then forced to bear the responsibility of raising the child, and for the rest of one's life and nights one is bound to the evil consequences of this forced birth. Even if one is rescued, one cannot cut off the past and start a new life. This is truly the most horrific moral kidnapping in the world.

It is said that children are innocent individuals and the crimes committed by their fathers cannot be attributed to them. But are the victims of coercion not innocent individuals and are they no longer considered human beings?

The criminal enjoys the victim's body and also uses this behavior to tie her up to raise his children. This is even more cost-effective than buying an animal. After all, the animal still needs to be taken care of by him. If he doesn't take good care of it, it will really die for you. The animal is not responsible for meeting his needs, nor will it serve him in life, give birth to and raise children for him, earn money to pay for child support, etc.

A huge profit.

Of course, now that the child is born, arrangements should be made for him/her.

Wukong's plan was to kill them directly. Although the method was violent, it also solved the worries of Baihuaxiu and Huangpaoguai. After all, Baihuaxiu didn't want these two children at all, and Huangpaoguai couldn't go down to the mortal world without permission after returning to heaven. Whether he arranged for his subordinates to take care of them or abandoned them directly, there was no guarantee that two monsters who ate people casually like their father would grow up in a few years. As for Wukong himself, he didn't have time to take care of Kuimulang's children. Rather than leaving hidden dangers, it is better to cut them off in advance. This has always been the style of the Monkey King.

Wen Jiao had a lot of free time. Taoism values ​​life, and she was accumulating merits at this time, so she didn't mind giving the two children a chance to live. The premise was that the two children had not killed anyone.

If you have touched...

Bai Huaxiu understood the implication of her words, shivered, and said anxiously: "Although these two children are the offspring of demons, I have been watching over and raising them since they were young. Huang Pao only holds them and plays with them when he is free, but he doesn't care about them at other times. I have never let them eat human flesh, and I will never touch that thing!"

Wen Jiao nodded: "I know."

She did not ask Bai Huaxiu what she planned to do with the two demons after returning to the palace. This question was like a stab in the back of her mind. She only said, "I will release Sha Seng right now. Huang Pao will be back soon. Princess, please remember..."

After giving her all these instructions, Bai Huaxiu showed a desperate look on her face: "Whether I can go home or not depends on this one move. I'm willing to give it a try. The worst that can happen is death!"

After the discussion was over, Wen Jiao turned into a tiny moth and flew into the dungeon. As expected, she saw a man hung inside. He had a burly figure, red hair and an indigo face, with a string of skulls hanging around his neck. It was none other than Sha Seng.

Wen Jiao flew gently to the rope that bound him, and used the dragon snake sword that had turned into soft tentacles to cut the rope, and the rope was broken immediately. Sha Seng immediately fell from the air. He was agile, and although the incident happened suddenly and his body was tied up like a dumpling, he adjusted his body shape in time in mid-air and still landed steadily on his feet.

Wen Jiao flew a few more times and cut the ropes on him. Sha Seng scraped off the broken ropes on his body and asked in doubt, "Big Brother?"

Using the number of changes to sneak into the monster's lair to save people is a common method used by the eldest brother. But the eldest brother's thirty-six changes are as he wishes. Except for the monkey's butt and tail, which cannot be covered and must be hidden, the rest of the changes can be perfectly integrated into the texture. When this little moth came close, he smelled a faint fragrance. Although it should also be a change, it is obviously just a superficial change technique, which can only roughly take shape, and other details cannot be concealed.

The noise here quickly attracted the attention of the guarding demons, and several demons picked up their weapons and rushed over. Wen Jiao showed her true form, and a cloud of fragrance sprayed out from her sleeves. The demons were sprayed by the fragrant cloud, and their eyes rolled back immediately, and they fainted and fell to the ground.

"The medicine is effective." Wen Jiao looked at her sleeves and said with a smile.

This was the incense she prepared using the ancient Yaksha recipe she got in her dream. It was the first time she used it in reality, and it really worked. This experiment gave her enough confidence in other poison recipes of Ha Xiang.

After the dream ended, Wen Jiao had many exchanges with Yuan Tiangang in her spare time. Yuan Tiangang's knowledge was so extensive that he could read all the books and scriptures. Of course, he was not comparable to Wen Jiao, a Taoist who became a Taoist priest halfway through his career and became a self-taught Taoist priest after being given a few volumes of scriptures by the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Lord.

According to Yuan Tiangang's speculation, since the people of Ling State knew nothing about the existence of Manzagang State, the story in the dream should have happened at least in the last calamity. The so-called heaven and earth are overturned, destroyed and reborn in a calamity, and all people and things will be overturned and reborn, but inevitably some relics will still exist, such as the demon tower left by Ha Xiangna because of his resentment, such as knowledge.

Although that dream did not give Wen Jiao any earth-shattering magic weapon, the only thing left behind was the bone flute, which only had the function of calling the clouds and fog and had no actual killing power. However, it gave Wen Jiao a treasure trove of knowledge from the Infinite Plateau from the previous calamity, which was of great benefit to a person like her who never tires of learning.

Although this transformation technique inherited from the Yaksha clan is far inferior to the thirty-six or seventy-two transformations of Goku and others, it is enough to fool the monsters for a short period of time.

Wen Jiao helped the little demons stand up and put them against the wall to continue guarding. Unless you look closely at their eyes, it is hard to tell that they have lost their minds. She took the key from them, opened the cage, dragged one of the little demons in, tied it up, and asked Sha Seng: "Can you turn it into your appearance?"

Sha Seng shook his head and said with shame: "My eldest brother Sun Wukong has such ability, but I don't have it."

This former general was a lazy person in the pilgrimage team. He always went with the flow and didn't put in much effort. He just watched Wukong working hard to help and thought he was just like him. When Wukong was expelled, he just watched coldly like the white dragon horse. But when it was his turn to work hard, his true ability was immediately revealed, and he realized how difficult it was for Wukong in the past. Now thinking back on the past, he can't help but regret it.

As expected, it couldn't hold up.

Wen Jiao sighed: "Then let me introduce myself. I am your master's biological mother, and I am here to save you."
