Chaos Spirit Field

Zhao Shanhe and his companions entered the Zhao's Trading Company. While eating, Zhu Bajie devoured the delicious food while sighing, "Master, the Zhao's Trading Company is truly powerful! Haojing is at least 50,000 miles away from here, and yet they know all about us."

Sun Wukong said, "Fool, our master's sworn brother is Zhao Zilong, the deputy leader of the Xianjiao sect. It's not easy to pass on a message. You are really surprised by what you have never seen before."

Zhao Shanhe watched Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie bickering, feeling quite relieved. He said, "Alright, disciples, you've been traveling all this time with me, it's time to relax. If you need anything, you can ask Zhao Youcai for it. Don't be polite to him. Don't forget your status."

At this time, Long Shisi, who was standing by, lowered his head in frustration. He knew his master had seen through his little thoughts. What more could he want from a horse?

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing. Zhao Shanhe was concentrating on reciting scriptures in his room when he heard a gentle knock on the door. He put down his scriptures and opened the door. It was Zhao Youcai standing outside, looking at him respectfully.

Zhao Shanhe asked doubtfully, "Donor Zhao, what can I do for you?"

Zhao Youcai quickly replied, "Second Master, I have a good friend whose daughter has fallen in love with a monster. I would like to ask for your help."

"Is your good friend the King of Baoxiang Kingdom?"

"Second Master has a keen eye! It is the King of Baoxiang Kingdom."

"I want to hold a lecture in Baoxiang Country, so let him make the arrangements."

"Thank you, Second Master. I'll ask him to make the arrangements right away."

Three hundred miles southwest of Baoxiang Kingdom lies Wanzi Mountain. Atop the mountain lies Boyue Cave, where dwells a demon named Yellow Robe Monster. Originally a descendant of Kuimu Wolf, one of the twenty-eight constellations in heaven, Yellow Robe Monster abducted Princess Baihua from Baoxiang Kingdom to be his wife, and it has been some time since then.

One day, a monk came down from Wanzi Mountain. The patrolling demon saw this and hurried back to report it.

"Your Majesty, a monk has come down the mountain, and it looks like he's coming for you."

Upon hearing this, the Yellow Robe Monster flew into a rage and shouted, "Humph! This King of the Precious Elephant Kingdom is truly inexhaustible! He truly takes my tolerance for weakness. My fellow men, follow me to meet this monk!"

The monk was Zhao Shanhe. He watched the Yellow Robe Monster leading a group of monsters approaching in a mighty procession. A smile appeared on his face, and he clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Kuimulang, you brought so many people with you. Are you here to welcome this humble monk?"

When the Yellow-Robed Monster saw that it was Xuanzang, his expression changed slightly, no longer showing his previous arrogance. He quickly and respectfully said, "Master Xuanzang has come to Wanzi Mountain, so naturally I want to welcome you! I just wonder where your disciples are?"

Zhao Shanhe smiled slightly and said teasingly, "I came here alone. Kuimulang, are you familiar with one of my disciples and want to get intimate with him?"

The yellow-robed monster hurriedly said, "Master, you're joking. Please come in." After that, he stepped aside and invited Zhao Shanhe into Boyue Cave.

Zhao Shanhe nodded and walked into Boyue Cave. As he walked, he said, "Kui Mulang, I'm here. What are your plans for the next step?"

Upon hearing this, the Yellow Robe Monster smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "Master Xuanzang, are you also going to separate me and the Jade Girl? We truly love each other!"

Zhao Shanhe sighed and said slowly, "When a demon and a human fall in love, it's bound to have no good results. I didn't want to come here, but some things are unavoidable."

The Yellow Robe Monster said excitedly, "Master Xuanzang, you have also experienced love. Don't you understand how cruel it is for lovers to be unable to be together?"

Zhao Shanhe was silent for a moment, then said in a heavy voice, "Kui Mulang, love is not about possession. Have you ever considered Jade Girl's feelings? How should she cope with this?"

The Yellow Robe Monster retorted, "Master Xuanzang, have you ever considered your lover?"

Zhao Shanhe replied, "Hasn't I become a monk now? There's a kind of love called letting go. If you truly love Jade Girl, why don't you accompany her to reincarnate and start over? Even if you have your own mission, why don't you take her on the path of cultivation and then marry her? Even if it violates the laws of heaven, at least there's room for maneuver. Ask yourself, what have you done for Jade Girl? One-sided possession, calling it love, is nothing but selfishness. You only seek to enjoy the pleasure in it, and then put all the consequences on Jade Girl. Such behavior is simply shameless!"

After hearing what Zhao Shanhe said, the Yellow Robe Monster blushed and angrily retorted, "The Jade Girl and I are truly in love, and our child is the fruit of our love!"

Zhao Shanhe responded coldly, "The Jade Girl may be deeply in love with you, but has Baihuaxiu ever loved you? Do you think the Heavenly Laws will tolerate the existence of those inhuman, nondescript monsters? You're vainly trying to use this humble monk's hand to resolve this karmic dispute. This wishful thinking is truly resounding! However, I'm not Tang Monk. You'll have to clean up this mess yourself!" "Princess Baihuaxiu, I'm taking you away. You can fend for yourself."

When the Yellow Robe Monster heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he shouted at Tang Monk: "Xuanzang, you can't take my wife away!"

Zhao Shanhe looked at Baihuaxiu and asked softly, "Princess Baihuaxiu, would you like to stay here and continue to be the monster's wife, or leave with me? Don't be afraid, this monster can't do anything to me."

Bai Huaxiu glanced hesitantly at the Yellow Robe Monster, then looked at Zhao Shanhe and whispered, "Master, can you get rid of this monster?"

Upon hearing this, the Yellow Robe Monster's face turned pale, and a trace of despair and sadness flashed in his eyes. He muttered to himself in a daze, "Madam, do you hate me so much..."

Bai Huaxiu seemed to have made up her mind. A ferocious expression appeared on her face, and she gnashed her teeth as she shouted at the Yellow Robe Monster, "Yellow Robe Monster, shouldn't I hate you? Back then, when I was only fourteen, you captured me and dragged me into this cave. You ravaged me daily and even forced me to give birth to several monsters. Tell me, should I hate you? Master, I beg you to get rid of this monster!"

Zhao Shanhe frowned, sighed, clasped his hands together, and said, "Amitabha, I do not kill. Donor lady, let's go."

When the Yellow Robe Monster saw Bai Huaxiu's departing figure, his face became increasingly ferocious. He shouted, "Xuanzang, you can go, but Bai Huaxiu must stay."

Zhao Shanhe turned around and said, "Kui Mulang, don't be stubborn and keep making the same mistake over and over again. Think carefully before you act and see if you can handle the consequences."
