In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

Sha Wujing: "Master, you've suffered!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi, who had changed into a tattered set of clothes, nodded listlessly and with a sense of despair.

His once fair face was now covered in dust, making him look rather disheveled.

He twisted his body, trying to find a slightly more comfortable position.

That's right! This clothing is not only tattered and worn, but also of rough texture. Wearing it feels like being pricked by countless needles, making my whole body extremely uncomfortable.

Especially down there, it's empty and I feel completely insecure. It's also chilly, and I'm not used to it at all!

Ugh, I really don't know what those despicable monsters were thinking. They even tried to steal his underwear. They're absolutely insane!

Chen Yi sighed helplessly and continued to endure the discomfort caused by the tattered clothes he was wearing.

When night fell and all was quiet, after the little monsters had all fallen asleep, Pigsy bit through the rope binding Sandy.

"Master! Wake up!"

As Chen Yi opened his eyes, still half asleep, he saw Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing. He quickly whispered, "Go save your senior brother first!"

He remembered that when Sha Wujing saved Tang Sanzang in the story, he was discovered by a little demon under Huangmei Laozu, which eventually alarmed Huangmei Laozu.

Upon hearing this, both apprentices hesitated.

Chen Yi continued to instruct, "Bajie, go and ask Kang Jinlong to come and save your senior brother. When you do, be sure to keep your voice down and don't disturb the monster."

Pigsy and Sandy looked puzzled.

"Master, can Kang Jinlong save Senior Brother?"

Chen Yi: "Have him drill a hole in the gap of the golden bell, and the Great Sage can come out."

Pigsy nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll go right away!"

Sha Wujing: "Master, I'll go check on my eldest brother first."

Chen Yi: "Go ahead, go ahead!"

Pigsy and Sandy split up into two groups: one went to ask for reinforcements, and the other went to the front hall to find Sun Wukong.

……

Imprisoned in the golden bell, Sun Wukong was like an ant being roasted by fire, trying his best but unable to break free from the cage.

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother! Are you still inside?"

Receiving no response, Sha Wujing grew increasingly anxious. Could it be that his senior brother had truly melted away, just as the demon had said?

Sha Wujing pressed himself close to the golden gong, gently patting its surface, and called out in a low voice, "Eldest Brother! Eldest Brother!"

Hearing the sound from inside the golden gong, Sun Wukong quickly called out, "Brother Sha! Is that you?"

Upon hearing the voice, Sha Wujing was overjoyed and hurriedly replied, "Elder Brother, it is indeed me!"

"Senior Brother, are you doing alright inside?"

Sun Wukong: "He's alright, but how is that little monk doing now?"

Sha Wujing sighed and replied, "That demon ordered his men to strip Master naked, and even..." they stole his luggage as well...

Upon hearing the words "stripped naked," Sun Wukong flew into a rage and interrupted him furiously, "What did you say?! The little monk was stripped naked?!"

"Damn monster!"

"Once I get out of here, I will tear him to pieces!"

Sha Wujing: "..."

You weren't this angry when your master was arrested before...

"Senior Brother, please calm down, Master is alright."

"Second Senior Brother has already gone to find Kang Jinlong to rescue you as Master instructed. Eldest Senior Brother, please wait a moment."

Sun Wukong took a deep breath, his face grim: "Alright, I understand."

……

Not long after, Pigsy returned excitedly, leading Kang Jinlong back.

Following Chen Yi's previous instructions, Sun Wukong quickly directed Kang Jinlong to forcefully drill a small hole in the gap of the golden gong.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Wukong skillfully drilled a thin slit in Kang Jinlong's incredibly hard horns.

In this way, Sun Wukong finally managed to escape from the tightly sealed golden bell.

After Sun Wukong successfully reunited with his two junior brothers, they did not delay at all and immediately went to rescue Chen Yi, who was trapped.

Upon seeing Sun Wukong appear before him, Chen Yi's eyes flashed with a light of surprise, and he excitedly shouted, "Great Sage!"

However, Sun Wukong's gaze fell on Chen Yi's tattered clothes. He gritted his teeth, his face terribly gloomy, but he still silently stepped forward and gently and quickly helped Chen Yi untie the ropes binding his body.

Noticing that Sun Wukong seemed a little off, Chen Yi cautiously lowered his voice and asked, "Great Sage, what's wrong?"

Sun Wukong frowned slightly and replied, "It's nothing, don't ask any more questions, let's leave this place first."

Seeing this, Chen Yi obediently nodded and replied, "Okay~ I'll listen to the Great Sage."

Therefore, the four of them walked quietly, trying not to make any noise so as not to alert the enemy.

Perhaps it was truly because of Chen Yi's timely warning that they were so fortunate to escape the cave this time.

After escaping danger, Sun Wukong stopped, turned around to face Kang Jinlong, clasped his hands in a fist and sincerely thanked him, saying, "Kang Jinlong, I am deeply grateful for your righteous help this time!"

Kang Jinlong quickly waved his hand and replied humbly, "Great Sage, you flatter me. It's nothing to mention. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. Farewell, Great Sage, take care!"

Sun Wukong nodded and said, "Until we meet again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Jinlong transformed into a golden light and disappeared into the horizon.

……

After escaping from the territory of the Yellow-Eyebrowed Ancestor, Sun Wukong suddenly said, "Bajie, Sha Wujing, you two take the little monk and leave first. I'm going to meet that monster!"

Before Chen Yi could stop him, Sun Wukong had already returned.

When Sun Wukong returned to the cave, the first thing he did was smash the golden gong, and the second thing was to retrieve his luggage.
