Chapter 39: One pellet of cinnabar elixir found in Heaven; A king, dead three years, lives again on Earth.
In which the King of Black Rooster Kingdom comes back to life after 3 days I MEAN three years.
Welcome to chapter 39, everyone. Let’s finally solve the usurper’s mystery.
“O' Elder Brother! You only know how to pull tricks on me, but you don't realize that I can do the same on you”: Why is he being evil against Wukong, again? Everyone in this group owes him their life! I can’t figure it out. (And why does Tripitaka listen to him anyway?)
“…in the process of making elixir, he and a few divine youths were tending the fires with plantain fans”: Just like these ones below.
“The Great Sage, therefore, went forward and clamped his thundergod beak
to the lips of the king”: Kiss! Kiss!
Peace is restored and our heroes can finally (I hope!) leave Black Rooster Kingdom. Just like in that Mountain with the treasures, it was not monsters acting on their own free will, but a test from Buddha himself. We’re halfway to India, haven’t they been tested enough?
See you in 3 days!
