Journey to the West 51 Guanyin Becomes Angry
Bajie didn’t know Guanyin was really Red Boy in disguise. “ The Tang Monk is in trouble, ” said the pig to the fake Guanyin. “ A demon named Red Boy is planning to eat him. Can you help us?” “ Of course, ” said the fake Guanyin. “ I know Red Boy. He’s very nice. I doubt he’ll harm the Tang Monk. Let’s go to Red Boy’s cave and talk to him. ”
Bajie and the fake Guanyin flew to Red Boy’s cave. Bajie went in first. Red Boy returned to his normal appearance and then sneaked up behind Bajie. He threw a sack over the pig. “ Hey, what’s going on?” shouted Bajie. “ I’m not Guanyin, you fool! ” The demon laughed. “ I’m Red Boy! And now you’re trapped! ”
The demon locked Bajie in a room. “ Why isn’t Bajie back yet?” asked Wujing. Wukong frowned. “ He probably stopped to take a nap. That pig is so lazy. ” Wujing nodded. “ Yes, he’s very lazy. What should we do now?”
“ I’m going to sneak into Red Boy’s cave, ” said Wukong. “ I want to make sure the Tang Monk is still alive. Then I’ll go to Guanyin myself. ” The monkey turned himself into a bee and flew up the mountain. He slipped through the cave door and flew down a long tunnel. Soon he heard the Tang Monk crying.
“ Master is scared, ” thought Wukong. “ But at least he’s still alive. ” The monkey then heard a shout. It was Bajie. “ You filthy demon! How dare you make yourself look like Guanyin and fool me! ” “ Aha! ” thought Wukong. “ Bajie didn’t take a nap after all. I must go to the real Guanyin right away. ”
