Chaos Spirit Field

Time flies, and after a difficult journey, the westward team finally arrived at another check-in point - Flaming Mountain.

Zhu Bajie couldn't stand the heat the most. He said to Zhao Shanhe with a painful look on his face, "Master, it's so hot here!" As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and gasped for breath.

Zhao Shanhe looked at the scene before him, sighed helplessly, and consoled them, "This is the Flaming Mountain. How can it not be hot? Everyone, just hold on a little longer and we'll be fine once we get out of this area."

After hearing this, Zhu Bajie immediately turned to Sun Wukong and teased him, "Brother Monkey, this disaster is your fault. Why don't you go and borrow Princess Iron Fan's palm-leaf fan to put out the fire and let me cool down."

Sun Wukong glanced at Bajie and said, "Fool, I am not the Monkey King, but I have never kicked the Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace. You can't slander me."

At this time, Long Shisi, who was standing by, suddenly said, "It's just a Flaming Mountain. I can put it out with just a pee."

Zhao Shanhe smiled silently, as if waiting for something. Long Shisi transformed into a gigantic dragon and soared above Flaming Mountain. He opened his mouth and spit out a stream of water, which poured down like a waterfall. However, when the water hit the flames, instead of extinguishing them as expected, it ignited an even more intense blaze. The flames instantly soared, dyeing the entire sky red.

Seeing this, Long Shisi quickly ran back, his face flushed with embarrassment. He scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I was too confident just now. I didn't expect the fire on Flaming Mountain to be so fierce."

Zhao Shanhe smiled playfully and said jokingly, "Long Shisi, if you slow down a bit, tonight's dinner will be in jeopardy. Be more careful and don't be so reckless all the time."

Long Shisi hurried over and said with a flattering smile, "Master, this little difficulty is nothing to you. Look at how miserable Second Brother is. He's been scorched to bits."

Zhao Shanhe frowned slightly, his expression becoming serious. He spoke solemnly, "This Flaming Mountain is no ordinary place. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were ten suns in the sky, and they roasted the great wizard Kuafu to death. Upon learning of this, my father's friend Houyi drew his bow and arrows, shooting down nine of the suns in one go. One of them landed on this Flaming Mountain."

At that moment, a figure slowly emerged from the Flaming Mountain. It was his old acquaintance, Lu Ya Zhenren. Smiling, he said to Zhao Shanhe, "Xuanzang, you have some experience. If you return my Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, I will allow you to pass through this place without any problems."

Zhao Shanhe raised the corner of his mouth, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he sneered in response: "Master Lu Ya, do you think that Goddess Nuwa will always appear in time? Please turn around, baby, and 'slash'."

A flash of white light flew out, and Lu Ya's head was separated from his body. Zhao Shanhe said with regret, "The Immortal Slaying Flying Blade was incubated for too short a time, and its power is limited. He finally escaped."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ya's body turned to ashes, and then a new body appeared. He said, "Xuanzang, if you really want to kill me, aren't you afraid of being blamed by Nuwa?"

Zhao Shanhe replied, "On the journey west, you can only move forward and not retreat. Even if it's a saint, I will kill him without hesitation."

At this moment, a voice came, and Nuwa said with an angry face: "Xuanzang, I am here, kill me and let me see."

Zhao Shanhe clasped his hands together and said respectfully, "Amitabha, Xuanzang has met Nuwa, I'm talking about Tathagata Buddha, please don't get involved. The demon race's luck is running low and they can't stand any more trouble. Take this thing away while you can, or I'm afraid I might kill them."

Lu Ya said angrily, "Xuanzang, who are you calling a toy?"

Zhao Shanhe replied, "You're no good, alright? I've already let you go once, so you should be grateful and have some dignity, okay?"

Lu Ya Zhenren said confidently: "Xuanzang, the Flaming Mountain is a calamity on your journey to obtain the scriptures. It is a test from heaven. I am just following the will of heaven and have done nothing wrong."

Zhao Shanhe said helplessly, "Nuwa, could you please step aside for a moment? I'll kill this disgusting thing."

Nuwa jokingly said, "This place is not your home. I am getting in your way."

Zhao Shanhe said earnestly, "Nuwa, can you promise not to take action?"

Nuwa said jokingly, "That depends on the situation. Before there is a second sun in the sky, I can't guarantee that I won't take action."

Zhao Shanhe was humiliated in front of Nuwa and blamed Long Shisi, sternly reprimanding him, "Long Shisi, if you had fought back a bit, your master wouldn't be trapped in this Flaming Mountain."

Long Shisi asked in confusion: "Master, Xiao Shisi didn't do anything today."

"Can you get through this Flaming Mountain?"

"Master, I am a water creature and cannot withstand high temperatures. If I can't get through, I can take a detour and you can go through on your own."

Zhao Shanhe thought about it and frowned. However, the person from the Great Leiyin Temple in the Western Heaven was not happy about it and did not allow such a joke. Fortunately, he still had some dignity and did not say that Lu Ya must be killed. There is a saying that as long as your mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems.

"Master Lu Ya, I have one more question for you. Are you serious about not letting me go?"

"Xuanzang, if you return my Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, I will let you pass."

"You forced me to do this. Look at my precious gourd, Master Lu Ya. If I call you, will you answer?"

When Master Lu Ya saw Zhao Shanhe holding a bright red gourd, he was so frightened that he dared not say a word. The huge suction force around him made him even more afraid.

Zhao Shanhe slowly walked towards Master Lu Ya, muttering to himself, "Master Lu Ya, if you still don't agree, what are you waiting for? Come into the gourd quickly."

Master Lu Ya was so frightened that he retreated step by step, and Zhao Shanhe pressed forward step by step. The two of them slowly entered the Flaming Mountain.

"Xuanzang, you've been fooled. In this Great Golden Crow Tomb, I am invincible."

Zhao Shanhe said disdainfully, "Nuwa is right outside. How dare you claim to be invincible? Master Lu Ya, if I call you, will you answer?"

"Xuanzang, I am here. Your gourd is just a trick to scare people. It can't hold anyone in."

Zhao Shanhe nodded and said, "Master Lu Ya, you are right. This poor monk's gourd can't absorb people, but it can absorb fire. Don't you feel a little cool?"

Only then did Lu Ya realize that the Flaming Mountain had been extinguished. He looked at Zhao Shanhe, who was so close to him, and anger rose in his heart. He shouted, "Xuanzang, you are courting death by getting so close to me. Take it."

Zhao Shanhe shouted, "Nuwa, I promise not to kill him."
