“
Ugh , are we there yet ?” Sun Wukong asked grumpily . “ No ,” Xuanzang replied . “ Where is Zhu Bajie ?” “ I haven ’ t seen him .” Sha Seng said calmly . Right on cue , Zhu Bajie jumped out from a bush . “ Where were you ?” Xuanzang asked angrily . “ Well , you know how I had a rake for a weapon ?” “ Where is this going ?” Xuanzang asked , suspicious . “ I got a weapon upgrade . Check it out !” Zhu Bajie held up a leaf blower . “ Cool , right ? I thought it ’ d be cool since my old weapon was also a tool for cleaning out leaves . It ’ s probably as effective .” There was a minute of silence . “ I ’ m so disappointed in you- ” Sha Seng sighed . “ -Says the monster who disintegrates if he touches water ,” the pig retorted . “ Stop this childish talk ! We are journeying to India , you understand ? Not annoying your master to death . Capische ?” “ Yeah , whatever ,” they all murmured .
After a few hours of hiking up mountains , everyone got tired . The sun had begun to set , so they decided to rest on a mountain . “ Master ?” “ Yes ?” “ Could you take off this Ruyi Jingu band ?” Sun Wukong pleaded . “ Why ?” “ Well , ‘ cause I want to look pretty … and this is the opposite of pretty , trust me .” “ Fine . Only until we leave India , okay ?” “ Got it ! I mean , got it , master !” The monkey king had stars in his eyes . While Sha Seng was making a fire , Zhu Bajie was preparing to cook dinner , and Sun Wukong was busy picking flowers for his flower crown . The night was peaceful . They only had a few more miles to get to India . Everyone fell asleep immediately . Well , almost everyone . Zhu Bajie was still finishing his dinner .
The next day , they arrived at the borders of India . A few Indians saw the group while they were on patrol . “ Hey , Xuanzang . Come right in !” a little girl exclaimed . “ I … don ’ t know you . How do you know my name ?” “... Um , lucky guess ? Haha ...” the girl laughed nervously . The man beside her kicked her from behind . “ Well , we will gladly enter ,” Sun Wukong interrupted . The group carefully entered the place , when suddenly , “ Wait ! Those three need to put down their weapons ! Sorry , but we are strict about these things .” A man shouted angrily . Zhu Bajie shouted , “ Never ! We aren ’ t walking into new territory unguarded .” “ Then you can ’ t come in ,” a girl said , crossing her arms .. “ Well , there is an alternative ,” the man shrugged , “ if they are willing to stay in the dungeon while you come in , we will allow them to keep their weapons . “ Fine . but take good care of them . I won ’ t be long !” Xuanzang commanded .
The dungeon smelled horrible . “ Finally . Done !” Sun Wukong said as he braided the last flower in . “ Behold , the flower crown !” He took it and wore it on his head . Suddenly , loud footsteps were heard . “ Hey , it ’ s time for your shower .” An odd girl approached our cage , holding a jug of water . She twisted the cap open , and threw the water at us . The water was aimed at Sha Seng .
