Chapter 142 Two coins won't hurt you

Just as dawn was breaking, Bai Suzhen was awakened by the sound of chanting.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that Jiang Feng and Sun Wukong were sitting face to face, doing their morning prayers together.

She glanced at Sun Wukong and felt that his demeanor seemed different from yesterday, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was different.

But she could see the weariness on Jiang Feng's face at a glance, and it was clear that he hadn't slept well last night.

She smiled slightly, went to the side to start a fire and cook porridge, and finished cooking the porridge just as they finished their morning prayers.

Jiang Feng washed his face, picked up his bowl and started eating breakfast, saying, "I thought about it for half the night last night, and I feel that what we are most afraid of is the divine fire of the Banana Leaf Fan and the Immortal Binding Rope."

"If Wukong is bound by the Immortal-Binding Rope, we still won't be able to subdue them. We need to find a way to steal those two treasures."

"Wukong, I'm leaving this to you. Fourth brother, you and Xiaobai are responsible for rescuing Wujing."

After hearing this, Sun Wukong's eyes lit up and he immediately had an idea: "This is easy, Master. I will transform into your appearance and deliberately let that monster capture me and take me to the Lotus Cave. Then I can find an opportunity to steal their magic weapon."

Jiang Feng said with mixed feelings, "It's a good idea, but you have to be a little careful."

"I'm a little different from you all. If a demon catches me, it will really kill me. The Six Ding and Six Jia might not even help protect me. You should tell them beforehand, lest they really mistake you for me."

Sun Wukong was taken aback: "Master, are you really that unpopular?"

Bai Suzhen couldn't help but say, "Remove that 'ma' character!"

Jiang Feng gave her a disapproving look: "Even dried field mouse meat can't shut you up."

Bai Suzhen chuckled, sucked on her finger, and then picked up the last piece of dried meat from the plate and ate it.

After finishing his meal, Sun Wukong transformed into Jiang Feng and then went to the Lotus Cave to challenge him.

"Listen up, you monsters inside! Release my disciple right now, or I'll go in and slaughter you all, leaving no one alive, and then burn your caves down!"

Jiang Feng and Bai Suzhen used their invisibility spells to hide far away.

Seeing Sun Wukong's fierce performance, Jiang Feng was shocked and muttered, "Wait, what is this monkey doing? Acting so fiercely, won't the monsters immediately see through my act?"

The White Dragon said in astonishment, "I feel that Senior Brother acted quite well, except he forgot to say one thing about robbing all the treasure in their cave."

"???"

Jiang Feng resisted the urge to hit him on the head with the Vajra Pestle and said to Bai Suzhen, "Little Bai, teach me the spell to seal sound another day. I suddenly realized that this spell is quite useful."

Inside the Lotus Cave, a little demon ran in to report: "Your Majesty, Jiang Feng has come to challenge us, demanding that we release his disciple!"

Upon hearing this, King Golden Horn's eyes lit up: "This monk has actually delivered himself to our doorstep! My good brother, come with me out there, capture him, and eat his flesh, and we'll achieve immortality!"

The Silver Horned King looked worried and said, "This monk from the East is very fierce, and with Sun Wukong's help, we need to be careful. Brother, let's collect all five magic treasures before we go out."

Golden Horn nodded, picked up the magic gourd and the Immortal Binding Rope, while Silver Horn took the banana leaf fan, the Seven Star Sword and the Jade Purification Bottle. Fully equipped, they walked out of the Lotus Cave.

Seeing that Jiang Feng was the only one outside the door, King Golden Horn couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Jiang Feng, you dare to challenge us all by yourself?"

Today, I, the Great King, will ensure you never return!

Sun Wukong sneered, "Your grandfather alone could kill you all. Try me if you don't believe me!"

Enraged that Jiang Feng had taken advantage of him, Golden Horn opened his magic gourd and sneered, "What a foolproof monk! Jiang Feng, if I call your name, will you dare to answer?"

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Why wouldn't I dare? Your grandfather is here!" After saying that, he crawled into the gourd himself.

When he flew to the mouth of the gourd, he replaced himself with a monkey hair, and his true form transformed into a flea, which jumped onto the body of the Golden Horn King.

Seeing that Jiang Feng had been captured so easily, Golden Horn smiled smugly and said to Silver Horn, "Brother, this monk isn't as powerful as you say. Let the little demons start a fire and boil water, and we'll just wait to eat the holy monk's flesh!"

Silver Horn breathed a sigh of relief and advised, "Don't be careless. We still need to be wary of Sun Wukong coming to rescue him. That monkey is incredibly powerful; once we've captured his master, he certainly won't let it go!"

Jinjiao said, "We have magic weapons in our hands, what are we afraid of! Besides, we only need to wait a short while, and by the time Sun Wukong comes to rescue us, Jiang Feng will already be cooked in the pot!"

Silver Horn King laughed and said, "Brother is right. I'll take the banana leaf fan to add fuel to the fire in the iron pot, and also keep an eye on Jiang Feng in case he runs away!"

The two chatted and laughed as they entered the Lotus Cave. They put Jiang Feng, who had been transformed from monkey hair, into a large pot. The little demons busily started a fire and added water, creating a lively scene inside the cave.

Sun Wukong hid on the Golden Horn King's body and saw him put down his magic weapon and start drinking wine.

He seized an opportunity to steal the gourd and the Immortal-Binding Rope, and used monkey hair to transform them into the likeness of these two magical treasures.

He then went to see the Silver Horn King and saw him holding a banana leaf fan, adding fuel to the fire in an iron pot. He had no chance to steal the magic weapon, so he slipped away and came outside the cave.

Seeing Sun Wukong return, Jiang Feng asked, "How did it go? Did you steal the magic weapon?"

Sun Wukong laughed and took out two magical treasures: "I only managed to steal two. The remaining three treasures are with King Silver Horn, and I couldn't find an opportunity to steal them."

Jiang Feng put the two magical treasures into his magic pouch and laughed, "Stealing their Immortal-Binding Rope is enough. Come back to Lotus Cave with me, and I'll teach you how to subdue demons!"

Having said that, he led Sun Wukong to the front of the Lotus Cave and began to shout challenges loudly outside the cave.

When the lesser demons saw that Jiang Feng had arrived again to challenge them, they hurriedly ran inside to report to King Golden Horn: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Another Jiang Feng has arrived at the gate, accompanied by a hairy-faced, thunder-mouthed monk!"

King Golden Horn was taken aback: "You're not seeing things, are you? Isn't Jiang Feng cooking in the pot right now?"

The little demon said, "The person who came looks exactly like Jiang Feng in the pot. He even brought two coins and wants to buy your five magic treasures, Your Majesty!"

He added, "Two coins won't hurt you, you won't be cheated. Back then, Lao Tzu spent two coins to buy over twenty furnace-guarding boys; that's more than enough to buy your five magical treasures!"

King Golden Horn: "————"

This monk is going too far!

Enraged, King Golden Horn kicked over the stone table, grabbed two magical artifacts made from monkey hair, and went outside, glaring at Jiang Feng and roaring loudly.

"Monk, whether you're the real Jiang Feng or a fake one, I don't think you want to live anymore!"

Jiang Feng said calmly, "Don't get angry. As the saying goes, even if a deal falls through, goodwill remains. If you think my price is too low, we can discuss it further!"

Golden Horn roared, "Is this about the price? Who told you that Laozi bought twenty boys for two coins? That's all a rumor!!"

Jiang Feng suddenly realized: "Oh, you mean this? I remembered that wrong."

Golden Horn's anger subsided slightly, and he snorted, "Hmph, I told you that's nonsense!"

Jiang Feng nodded: "Yes, I did remember that wrong. Back then, Laozi bought a sesame seed cake for two coins, and the seller gave him twenty boys to watch the oven for free so that he would come back next time."

King Golden Horn: "??!!"

So I was a free gift when Laozi bought a sesame seed cake?
