Chapter 129 Fishing is a Road of No Return
Upon finding Sun Wukong, Jiang Feng was extremely excited and earnestly instructed Ao Ying, "Ao Ying, you stay here at Five Elements Mountain and don't go anywhere. I'll come find you in a few days."
Ao Ying said somewhat unhappily, "This place is deserted and not fun at all. Besides, this monkey can't escape because it's trapped under the mountain."
Jiang Feng said helplessly, "Am I afraid the monkeys will escape? I'm afraid the Five Elements Mountain will run away with the monkeys overnight!"
Anyway, you just stay there and guard it well. I've saved you a few pounds of braised beef, made from the beef of a thousand-year-old bull demon.
.
Ao Ying swallowed hard and said, "Then hurry up and come!"
Jiang Feng pressed the communication stone to end the call. Just as he was about to repair the collapsed house in the temple, he heard the Jade Rabbit let out a scream that shattered the dawn.
"ah-"
Soon, Yu Tu pushed open the door, hands on her hips, and glared angrily at Jiang Feng: "What did you do to me last night? How did I end up sleeping in your bed?"
Jiang Feng said dejectedly, "You should ask yourself that. I was sleeping soundly last night when you suddenly turned into a rabbit and crawled into my bed, saying something like 'Star Lord, don't make trouble.'"
"Huh?" Jade Rabbit was taken aback, then seemed to recall some vague memories, and approached Jiang Feng with a suspicious look on her face.
She poked her head out, sniffed in front of Jiang Feng, and her expression became even more puzzled: "How come you have the aura of the Taiyin True Lord on you? That's really strange—"
Jiang Feng pondered, "Perhaps it's because I absorbed too much moonlight while practicing Moonlit Zen a few days ago?"
The Jade Rabbit, still somewhat skeptical, stared intently at his face for a while before saying, "Never mind, I'll ask my master when I get back. Let's repair the temple first!"
Jiang Feng grunted in agreement, woke up Sha Wujing, and told him to move bricks. Bai Suzhen and the Jade Rabbit were in charge of mixing mud and pounding glutinous rice, while he took on the heavy responsibility of building the house.
In half a day, the collapsed west wing was rebuilt. Jiang Feng wiped the sweat from his brow, looked at the house he had built with satisfaction, and said, "Mission accomplished! Time to eat!"
At this moment, the Jade Rabbit took out a fishing rod and a bamboo basket and said, "You all start a fire to cook, and I'll go catch a couple of fish for you as a treat."
Jiang Feng glanced at the carrot in her hand, his expression strange, and asked, "Are you taking this carrot to eat yourself or as bait?"
The Jade Rabbit looked completely bewildered: "Of course it's used as bait, is that not allowed?"
Jiang Feng took a deep breath: "If I were a fish in the river, I probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night unless I jumped up and slapped you twice with my tail!"
"If you can't even prepare bait, you could at least dig up some earthworms. Do you think the fish in the river are all rabbits turned into human form?"
The Jade Rabbit, refusing to believe it, said, "You just wait, I'll show you today that I'll catch a fish with a carrot!"
Once the Jade Rabbit went out, it didn't return until nightfall.
Jiang Feng and the others had already eaten two meals and were about to go to sleep.
Bai Suzhen glanced at the empty road at the door and said with some surprise, "The Jade Rabbit has quite a temper. If she can't catch any fish, is she not coming back today?"
Jiang Feng, fanning himself on a deck chair, said, "They say fishing is a one-way street, and now it seems there's some truth to that."
O
Sha Wujing hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Do you think she was eaten by a monster in the river? I have a monster friend who specifically targets monks passing by the river to eat."
Jiang Feng rolled his eyes at him, annoyed: "Wujing, you've even learned military strategy now, you've even used the technique of creating friends out of nothing."
However, what you said is not impossible. Let's go look along the river.
Having said that, he jumped off the deck chair and led the two of them to the riverbank.
After walking along the riverbank for a while, Jiang Feng found a fishing rod and a tilted flower basket on the ground.
Jiang Feng's eyelids twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "The Jade Rabbit is indeed in trouble! Wujing, go search in the river. Xiaobai and I will search on the shore. We'll meet back here in an hour!"
Sha Wujing nodded and jumped into the river with a splash.
Jiang Feng and Bai Suzhen inquired in the nearby villages. After an hour, only a few people had seen the Jade Rabbit fishing by the river, and no one had seen her go anywhere else.
Back at the agreed-upon place, Sha Wujing was already waiting there, pacing anxiously in circles.
Upon seeing Jiang Feng return, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Master, the Jade Rabbit was indeed captured by the monster in the river."
There was a white dragon in the river; it was he who captured the Jade Rabbit. I fought him for a hundred rounds to a draw, so I came up here to wait for your return.
"White Dragon?"
Jiang Feng was slightly taken aback and asked, "This isn't Eagle's Sorrow Gorge, so how come there's a white dragon here?"
Bai Suzhen summoned the local earth deity to inquire, and learned that this place was less than a hundred miles away from Yingchoujian, and the river flowed from Yingchoujian. Only then did he realize the truth.
It really is the White Dragon!
He hadn't expected that even though he wasn't riding a horse, the little white dragon would still appear and block his way.
This time, the Jade Rabbit did not force him to get married. On the contrary, it was wholeheartedly doing good deeds and helping the people alleviate the drought.
Most importantly, she also provided lodging and meals to a handsome monk who was passing by!
He felt that if he watched her get into trouble and did nothing, both Bai Suzhen and Sha Wujing would feel guilty.
As for him—? What about his conscience?
After thinking for a moment, he told Bai Suzhen about the origins of the White Dragon.
"This white dragon was the third prince of the West Sea Dragon King. He committed the crime of disobedience by setting fire to the luminous pearl bestowed upon him by the Jade Emperor and was to be executed. Later, Guanyin Bodhisattva pleaded for his life and saved him, and he was imprisoned in Eagle Sorrow Stream."
The White Dragon is highly skilled in martial arts; you and Sha Wujing might not be able to defeat him in the water.
I'll transform into Guanyin Bodhisattva, and you, Xiaobai, will become the Old Mother of Lishan. Let's see if we can trick him into coming ashore.
Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen's expression turned somewhat solemn.
Her most powerful magic was the ability to control the waters of the four seas, but against the White Dragon, the third prince of the West Sea Dragon King, this magic was utterly useless.
At the moment, besides outsmarting her, she couldn't think of any other good way to rescue the Jade Rabbit.
So she followed Jiang Feng's advice, transformed herself into the appearance of the Old Mother of Lishan, and went into the water with Jiang Feng, who had transformed into the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Meanwhile, in an underwater cave, the White Dragon was sitting at a stone table drinking with a woman.
If the Jade Rabbit were to see her, she would surely recognize at a glance that this woman is Su'e, whom she has been seeking revenge against!
Su'e poured a cup of wine for the little white dragon and laughed, "This silly rabbit actually used a carrot to fish. I recognized her at a glance."
"Besides her, probably no one else in the world would do such a stupid thing!"
The White Dragon frowned slightly and asked, "What do you plan to do with her? After all, she's one of the Taiyin Star Lord's people. If I go too far, I won't be able to handle the consequences."
Su'e said, "Keep her locked up for now. Once we catch Jiang Feng, the Bodhisattva will help me reincarnate. Then you can release her."
"Then let's do it that way."
The little white dragon nodded slightly, then let out a long, helpless sigh: "Alas, I don't know what the Bodhisattva is thinking. He clearly promised me that I would protect the pilgrim on his journey to the West to obtain the scriptures, but now he insists that I use my true abilities to subdue him before I can go with him."
If he were so capable of subduing me, wouldn't he be protecting me on my journey to the West to retrieve the scriptures?
