0:16 Details are in the descriptions. Thank you. Journey to the West, an audio drama series. Chapter. 21 part. Two, the doors were closed and everyone seemed to be asleep. Sinjar didn't shout for the gate to be opened, not disturbing the monsters just yet. He then made a hand gesture while reciting a spell.

0:45 With a shake of the body, he transformed into a mosquito with striped legs. What a tiny creature he was. The imp guarding the gate was snoring in its sleep when seemed to have stung right on its face. The imp woke up with a start lamenting. Good heavens, there was a huge mosquito. Just one bite and it left a huge lump. Opening its eyes, it said it's morning now. With a creaking sound, the second layer of gates opened up. Buzzing seemed to have flew inside just to see the old monster giving out orders.

1:22 Be very wary, all of you guarding the doors. Gather up your weapons at the same time. I'm afraid the wind from yesterday wasn't enough to kill Cincinjo. He is bound to return to day. When he does, I'll make sure his life is over once and for all. Sing to have listened to him talk before crossing the living room and into the rear. There was a door that was tightly shut, Sinjo crawled through the cracks and saw it was a big empty garden and there tied with ropes on a wind settling pillar was no other than the tongue monk.

1:59 His master was shedding tears non-stop thinking about Wukong and Wu Nang whose whereabouts were unknown. Sinjo stopped his wings and landed on his bald head calling out master. The elder recognized his voice and asked. Oh, Wukong, I'm missing you to death, where are you calling me from? Sindo answered. Master, I'm right on your head, don't you get anxious or worried, we will surely capture the monster spirit and save your life.

2:27 The Tang monk said. Disciple, when can you capture the monster spirit? Sindo said. The tiger monster who brought you here was killed by Bazier. It's just that the old monster has a ferocious wind. I promise we'll get him today. Calm down and don't cry, I'll head out now. He bid farewell before buzzing his way back to the front. The old monster was sitting above, making roll call for the chiefs in charge of different tasks. Then an imp from the front of The Cave rushed into the living room waving a command flag reporting graking. Your little soldier was tasked to patrol the mountain when the moment I left the gate I saw a monk with a long snout and huge ears sitting in the forest.

3:11 Had I not run faster, he would have caught me, but I didn't see that. Harry faced a monk from yesterday. The old monster said if Sun Xingzhou was not around, he was either killed by the wind or going somewhere to find help. The Imps asked Great King if the blow did kill him it would be to our merit, but what if it didn't and he went to find some divine troops to help him?

3:36 What are we to do then? The old monster said. What is there to fear? What is so scary about divine troops to settle my wind? Unless they bring here Lingzi Bodizatwa, no one else is worth fearing. Xingjo was on the roof beam when he caught the words. Overjoyed, he flew out and returned to his original form before coming into the forest calling brother.

4:02 But he asked, Elder brother, where have you been Just now there was a monster spirit carrying a command flag whom I chased away. Xingjo laughed and said I owe you 1, I owe you 1. Elderson transformed into a mosquito and enter his cave to check on Master. Turns out Master was tied up on a wind settling pillar crying.

4:22 I instructed him to stop crying before flying on to the roof beam to listen more. The one with the command flag was panting hard when he ran into report. He said only you had chased him but did not see me. The old monster took a wild guess and said Elderson was either killed by the wind or going to get some divine forces for help, and he gave out a name all on his own.

4:46 Brilliant. This is brilliant. Bazi asked. Whose name was it? Sinto said. He said there was nothing so scary about divine troops to settle his wind. They must bring here Lingzi Bodizatwa, but I have no idea where Lindsay lives. Just as they were discussing, by the road appeared an old man with a white bear and crooked back. Bazir saw him and said in delight, Elder brother, as the saying goes for the way down, as those who came, you should go ask him.

5:18 How about that? And so the great sage put away his iron rod and tidy his clothes before going up to say. Greetings old fellow. The old man gave somewhat of 1/2 response and returned the gesture, asking. Where are you monks from? What business do you have in this wilderness? Cinto answered. We are divine monks seeking scriptures who lost our master here yesterday. We would like to ask you elderly gentlemen where Lindsay Bolizatua lives.

5:50 The old man answered. Lingji lives straight S from here with 2000 Lee. Between us there is a mountain called Xiao Sumishan or Little Sumilu Mountain. Inside there is a place of rites which serves as the monastery where Bodhisattwa gives lectures on scripture. I assume you're seeking their scriptures?

6:14 Singja answered. Not to seek their scriptures, but to ask them for a favour. We don't know which way to go. The old man pointed southward with his hand and said, Down this narrow path would be it. Having tricked Grey Sage soon to turn around and look at the road, the old man then transformed into a fresh breeze and silently disappeared.

6:37 What was left by the roadside was a note with four lines of chance written on it to inform the heaven equalling Grey Sage. The old man is Lee Chong Gung. Mt Sumilu is where the flying Dragon's staff lies, a Buddhist weapon Lingji received in olden times. Zinta held the note and turn around to go back on the road. Bazzier said, Elder brother, aren't we in terrible luck these days, always bumping into ghosts in broad daylight? Who was that old fellow who vanished into the wind? Zinta handed the strip to Bazzier. He read it once and asked, Who is this Li Chung Gong? Singja answered.

7:19 It's the name of the great white Ghost Star from the West. Panicking, Bazir prostrated to the skies, saying, Saviour, my saviour. If it weren't for the Ghost Star's memorial to the Jade Emperor, there is no knowing how this old boar's life would end. Singja said, Brother, you are one who knows how to show gratitude, but this is not the time to show yourself. Just hide in the depths of the forest and keep an eye on the luggage and horse.

7:47 Wait till Aldersun finds Seth's Suminu Mountain and invites Bodizatwa over. Bazir replied, I know, I know, just hurry up and go. Old boy has mastered the trick of the turtle, I will withdraw my head when he needs to stay in. And so Grace Sage Sun jumped into the air, unleashed his somersault cloud, and headed straight southward. It was indeed a swift trip.

8:13 A knot took him past 3000 Li and A twist of the waste was enough to cover more than 800. Soon a high mountain appeared amidst auspicious clouds and fog. In its concave lied a Chan monastery, where the sound of bells and chimestones echoed in fragrant mist. The Gray sage came all the way to the gate and saw a labourer wearing beads and reciting Buddha scripture.

8:38 Xinja said Please accept my greetings. The laborer bowed to return the greetings, asking where is this respectable gentleman from? Sinter asked is this where Lindsay Bodizatua preaches their scriptures? The laborer answered this is the place, have you a message? Sinter said, If you don't mind elderly gentlemen, please deliver my message as follows. I am the disciple of Elder Son Zhang, the royal younger brother serving the throne of Great Tongue in the Land of Feast. My name is heaven equal in great sage. So Wukong Sinjua, I have a matter and would like to see Bodizatwa.

9:18 The laborer laughed and said. Respectable Lord, that is too many characters and words for me to remember. Sinjar then said. Just say the tongue most disciple so Wukong is here. The laborer did as he was told and brought the message into the lecture hall. Bodizatwa immediately put on a keshaya and lit incense as welcome. Only then did the great sage step through the doors. He looked inside and saw a hall full of brocade and a room filled with majesty.

9:48 Scriptures were chanted and instruments struck. Served before Buddha were divine delicacies, and placed on the tables was a vegetarian feast. Grand candles shut golden flames into rainbows as fragrant smoke mixed with colorful mist. A space of peace and wisdom, and indeed the highest form of ceremony. Bodizatwa tidy their garment and came out to welcome Sinto into the hall.

10:16 He was seated as a guest and tea was ordered to be served. Sinto said. Please don't bother with tea, my master is in trouble on Yellow Wind Mountain. I came specifically to ask Bodizatwa to use your immense powers to subdue the master and save my master. Bodizatwa said. I once received a religious edict from Roulai and was tasked to subdue the yellow wind monster Roulai gave to me with one wind settling pellet and the Flying Dragon treasure staff. He was caught by me at the time, but I spared his life. I let him return to a life of obscurity in the mountains and told him to never harm a life again. I never knew that he would attempt to hurt your master. Now this is against the commandments and I hold myself responsible for this.

11:05 Bodizatwa asked Sinjo to stay on and have a chat over vegetarian food, but Sinjo urged against it. And so Bodizatwa took the Flying Dragon staff and travelled on cloud alongside the Great Sage. Soon they arrived above the Yellow Wind Mountain. Bodizatwa said. Great Sage, this monster is rather fearful of me.

11:27 I will stay put in the clouds while you head down there and provoke a battle with him. Trick him to come outside so I can use my powers. Zinta did what he was told and landed his cloud without explanation. He wielded his iron rod and broke The Cave gates shouting Master, give me back my master. Scrambling the Imps guarding the gates hurry to report the situation.

11:51 The master said. This unruly monkey is indeed rude. Not submitting to my goodwill is one thing, breaking my doors is another. I shall head out, summon the Divine Wind and make sure to blast him to death. He put on his armour as before and took the steel Trident in hand before running out the door. When he saw Xinjo, he didn't bother to talk, but instead aimed his Trident right towards the chest. The Great Sage turned to dodge, then raised his rod to return the attacks.

12:25 The two barely fought for a few rounds when the monster turned his head and aimed at the ground in the southeast direction. He was just about to open his mouth and breathe wind when in mid air, Lingzi Bodizagwa tossed the Flying Dragon treasure staff downward. Some unknown spells were recited which turned the staff into a golden dragon with eight claws.

12:47 Reaching out two of them, the dragon caught the monster by the head. Pulling several times and throwing it against the rocky cliffs, The monster. Showed his true. Form a marten with yellow fur, Xinjia cut up and raised his rut. He was about to strike down when Barizatwa stopped him and said Grey sage do not harm his life. I have to take him back to see Roulet adding This thing was an unlightened rodent living at the foot of the Spirit Mountain because he stole some clear oil from a glass cup and dimmed the Lamb Lie.

13:22 He feared that the gods of Vejla would go after him, which is why he ran away and became a monster spirit. Here Roulai found him, but did not think he deserved death as punishment, so he ordered me to tame him. Should he ever kill or sin, I will take him back to Spirit Mountain. Since he has now offended the Great Sage and tried to harm the Tang monk, I will bring him to Roulai only when his guilt is properly declared should this merit be completed. Sinjar heard that and thanked Bodizatwa. Bodizatwa then left for the West. We will speak no more of that.

14:00 We go back to Jubazia in the forest. Who was just thinking about Sinjar when he heard a voice shouting from under the hill. Oh, Nung, my brother, bring the horse and luggage over. The fool recognized it was Sinjoy's voice, so he hurriedly gathered everything and ran out of the forest. Upon seeing Sinjoy, he asked.

14:20 Elder Brother, what have you been up to? Sinjoy answered. I had Lindsay Bodhisattwaard over who used a flying Dragon's staff to capture the monster. It turned out to be a marten with yellow fur that turned into a spirit. But is that what took him away to see Roulai on Spirit Mountain? You and I shall head inside The Cave to save Master.

14:40 Delighted, the fool went along as the pair burst into The Cave, sweeping the place with their rake and rot. The entire nest of rabbits, foxes, and deer were wiped out. They then went to the backyard to rescue their master. Once their master was outside the door, he asked How did you 2 manage to capture the master? How did you manage to save me?

15:03 Xingo recounted the whole matter about asking Lindsay over to subdue the master, and his master was filled with gratitude. The brothers found some vegetarian ingredients in The Cave and arranged a meal. Only after they ate, they head out the gate and go westward on the main road. We do not know what lies ahead of them.
