0:16 Details are in the descriptions. Thank you. Journey to the West, an audio drama series. Chapter 35 Part 2 We now look at the monster who arrived at the door only to find bodies lying all over the floor. They were the monster's spirits under his command. Distraught and lost. He let out a long sign towards the skies before bursting into tears, yelling How bitter, how painful. The elder monster, now filled with shame and fear, made his way into The Cave in tears as every step was followed by a cry.

1:05 He found the furniture and all the belongings still present, but the place was quiet, without a single person, and the sorrow only added to his misery. Sitting alone in The Cave, he slumped on to a stone table with the treasure sword laying slanted by his side and the fan tucked behind his shoulder, he drifted into sleep. This truly was happiness.

1:29 Braces the spirit. Sorrow only sends you to sleep. We now go to Great Seizun, who turned his somersault cloud around and stood in front of the mountain. He was still thinking about saving his master, so he tightly tucked the Immaculate vase by his waist and came straight to The Cave entrance to see what was going on.

1:50 What he saw were two door planks opened up quiet without a sound. In soft steps, he discreetly moved inside, only to find that monster leaning on a stone table, fast asleep. The banana leaf fan slid from his shoulder and half covered the back of his head, while the seven star sword still laid slanted by the table. Quietly approaching seemed to pull the fan out before quickly turning around to leave.

2:17 In a whoosh. However, the handle of the fan rubbed against the monster's hair and soon woke him. When he looked up to find that Sun Xingzhou has stolen his fan, he hurriedly picked up his sword to chase. The Gray Sage was already out of the door by then. Putting the fan on his waist, he freed both of his hands to wield the iron rod against the monster.

2:38 What a fine battle it was. Outraged and maddened, the monster King could not let off his anger. He reviled the monkey. You're an adult playing tricks on people. Not only did you harm so many lives, but you are returning to steal my treasures, and I will not let you off this time. There must be a result of life and death. The Grey Sage in turn shouted at the monster. How very senseless.

3:03 You're just an apprentice thinking you can fight Alderson. How can a stack of eggs possibly break a stone? The sword and rot went back and forth, but no mercy was left to win. They showed off their techniques for the monk, seeking scriptures. They gave all they had as they fought on. It was approaching sunset. The Monster King was losing strength, having fought the Grey Sage for about 30 to 40 rounds.

3:27 It was getting late and he could not overpower his opponent. Defeated, he went straight for the southwest direction to seek shelter in the crushed Dragon Cave. We will speak no more on that. Only then could the Great Sage come down from his cloud and burst into the Lotus Flower Cave. Having united the Tongue Monk, Bazi and Sha Monk, the three of them were released from their suffering and thanked Xinjia for it.

3:54 They then asked where are the Monster Spirits? Sindo replied the younger monster is trapped in the gourd, he should have melted by now. The elder monster upon defeat went to the crushed Dragon Mountain on the southwest side. As for the Imps of this cave, half of them were wiped out by Alderson's Body Beyond Body spell.

4:12 Some returned in defeat and Alderson had to kill them off before making it inside to save you. The town monk couldn't thank him enough and said. Oh disciple, thank you for going through all the trouble. Sindo laughed and said, Well, that was indeed some trouble. All you had to deal with was pain from the hang.

4:31 But Elderson hasn't caught a breath yet. I was busier than servicemen delivering the post, running in and out without thinking about myself. It's only because I stole their treasures that the monster spirits were driven away, Drubati said. Elder brother, show us that gourd. I think the young monster has already melted the great sage first took off the Immaculate vase, then pulled out the golden rope and fan, before Lassie holding the gold in hand, saying don't look, don't look. He trapped Elder Son before I did some gargling to fool him in order to have the opening unsealed so that Elder Son could escape.

5:05 Let's not open it. No matter what happens, I fear that he will also play a trick and escape. Master and disciples happily gather some rice noodles and vegetables from The Cave before washing the stoves to prepare a vegetarian meal. After filling their stomachs, they rested soundly in The Cave. Nothing happened during the night and it was soon dawn. We now speak of the elder monster who went straight to the crushed Dragon Mountain and gathered all the female Imps inside.

5:33 He recounted all the matters about how his mother had been beaten to death, his brother trapped, his troops exterminated, and his treasure is stolen. The female Imps went into loud wailing. After mourning for a while, the monster said. Don't you get lost in the sorrow just yet. I still have the Seven Star swar with me to fight alongside you female soldiers. We will head to the back of the Crushed Dragon Mountain where we can borrow some help from the maternal family. We must capture that Sun Singh too for revenge. Before he could finish, a nimp guarding the door reported Grey King Lord Great Uncle from behind the mountain has arrived with some soldiers.

6:11 The elder monster heard that and quickly changed into plain mourning attire before bowing to welcome him inside. This Lord Great Uncle, as it turned out, was his mother's younger brother. His title was Hua Chi Dawang, meaning Great King fox #7. He first heard from IMP soldiers patrolling the mountains that his elder sister had been beaten to death by Sun Xing Zhu, who then transformed into his sister's form to steal. His nephew.

6:39 'S treasures and for days his nephews had been fighting off their enemy in Flat Top Mountain. So he led around 200 Imp soldiers from his own cave to come assist the cause. But first he had to come to his sister's residence to see what was really going on. He had only just entered the door when he saw the elder monster dressed for mourning. The two burst into tears and cried for a long while. The elder monster prostrated and detailed everything that took place as he went into fiery rage. He ordered the elder monster to change out of his morning attire and take his treasure sword.

7:17 They will make a roll call of the female soldiers so all the forces could be joined. In gust and cloud, they headed for the northeast. The Great Sage on the other hand was just telling Shamak to prepare a vegetarian breakfast so they could leave after eating. Suddenly they heard the winds start blowing.

7:35 Looking out from the door, they saw a group of in soldiers approaching from the southwest. Astonished, Sinja quickly returned to call for Bazi. Brother, the monster spirits have brought help here. Sanzan heard that and lost all colour from his face in fear. Asking disciples what are we to do? Sinja smiled and said, Relax, relax, hand me all their treasures.

8:00 And so the Great Sage tied the gold and Immaculate face by his waist, wrapped the golden rope inside his leaf, tucked the banana leaf fan behind his shoulder and held his iron rod with both hands. He ordered Shaman to protect the master and stay firmly inside The Cave and had Bazir Weld his rake and go out to face the enemy with him.

8:21 The monsters display their formations and leading them at the front was Great King Aazi. He had a face of jade and long beard still like brows and sharp ears, wearing a golden helmet and chainmail. He welded a double sided hell bird and shouted in a loud voice. You outrageously insolent monkey, how dare you bully us like this? You stole our treasures, hurt our family, murdered in soldiers and now dare occupy The Cave residence. Quickly present to your necks 1 by 1 so we can kill you to avenge my elder sister.

8:57 Xingjo retorted. You death seeking fireballs have no idea of your grandfather son's tricks. Don't you run, take a stroke from me. The master dodged to the side before returning the attack with his double sided Helbert. The pair fought to and fro on the mountain. Within just three to four rounds the master was losing his strength and ran back in defeat.

9:18 Xingjo went after him but the elder monster intercepted halfway. The 2 exchanged 3 rounds when Huazi made his way back with an attack. Bazia witnessed this from the site and quickly raised his nine prong rake in defence one-on-one. They held each other in place for a long time without anyone going on top. The elder monster then shouted loudly and had all the soldiers swarm forward.

9:42 We now speak of San Zhang who was sitting in the Lotus Flower cave when he heard battle cries that shook the ground. He thereby called Shamonk. Head out and see how your elder brothers are doing. Shamonk indeed came out with his monster crawling staff with a shout. He burst out and beat back all the Imps as he saw the situation was not in his favour, so he turned around to run.

10:04 But he caught up to him and struck him on his back with his rake, instantly resulting in nine red holes as the poor creature's soul left for another life. It too had been a fox spirit, something they realized as they quickly pulled off the monster's clothes. The elder monster saw that his uncle was hurt, so he left Xinjua to strike Bazia with his treasure sword.

10:27 Instead, Bazia held him back with his rake. As the two were fighting, Shamak entered the fight with his staff. The monster could not withstand the attacks, so he released Wind and Cloud in an attempt to escape for the South. Bazia and Shamak closely follow him from behind. The Great Sage saw this and quickly unleashed clouds in order to leap into the air.

10:49 Untying the Immaculate vase, he pointed at the elder monster and called, breaking Golden Horn. The monster thought it was an imp from his losing troops calling out, so he turned around to answer the call. With a whoosh, he was sucked into the vase before Sinjar put the usual seal on top of it. The seven stars swore, then fell onto mortal dust, so Sinjar also took it. Bazzier went up to ask.

11:15 Big Brother, you've got the swore, but where's the monster? Spirit Singh chuckled and said it's done already. Trapped inside his face. Shamanc also heard that and the two were immensely delighted. Once they cleared the place of all monstrosity, they made their way back to The Cave and told San on the good news. The mountain is clear and no monster is left. Master, please mount the horse so we can be on our way. San Zhang was beyond joyful.

11:43 They had their vegetarian breakfast, packed the luggage and picked up the horse before finding their way westward. Just as they were walking, a blind man suddenly appeared by the roadside and seized San Zhang's horse, asking Where are you heading? Monk, give me back my treasures. Shocked, Bazia said. Goodness, this is the old monster coming for the treasures.

12:06 Xing Zha had a closer look and realized he was the Supreme and Venerable elder, so he hurriedly approached to greet him, asking Old fellow, where are you heading? The elder quickly produced his four legged jade throne and stood in the Azure skies saying. Sun Xing Zha, give me back my treasures. The Gray sage rose into the air to ask. What treasures?

12:31 The elder explained. I used the gour to store pellets, the vase to keep water, the treasure swore to refine evil spirits, the fan to tend the fire, and the rope is a cord around my robe. These two monsters, one is the boy tending my golden furnace and the other the boy tending my silver furnace. They stole my treasures and came to the realm below, and I have since been looking for them to no avail. It appears that you have captured them. You deserve merit, the great sage said. You old fellow are truly ill mannered. Allowing your family to do evil like this is enough to charge you for the crime of LAX discipline, the elder explained. This has nothing to do with me.

13:16 Don't blame the wrong person, but is Aptois from the seas Asked me to lend her the boys three times so they could transform into monster spirits. Here to test if you are sincere about heading West. The great sage heard that and began cursing in his mind. This bodies at what is terribly slick. When she saved Alderson and ordered me to escort the Tongue monk to seek scriptures in the West, I told her that the journey would be bitter and difficult. She once promised me to personally come to my aid when there is an emergency, but now she's ordering evil spirits to give us a hard time.

13:52 Her words are not trustworthy. She deserves to live without a husband or her life. If you hadn't come here personally, old fellow, I would not in a million years have given anything back to her. But if you say so, here you are. The elder received the five treasures before opening up the gourd and Immaculate vase. 2 wisps of divine vapor were poured out and with the point of his finger, transformed into the two boys, Gold and Silver, who accompanied the elder by his side. Look at those countless glowing beams. Alas.

14:27 Together they drifted toward the Tishta Palace freely. They went straight up to the highest layer of heaven. We do not know what happens next, how Gray Sage Sun will protect the Tongue monk, or when they will reach W Heaven. Please wait until the next chapter.
