Zhu Ganglie laughed and said, "Fellows, you say that Golden Cicada is a monk without the strength to truss a chicken, yet in the eyes of this old pig, the fellow looks quite robust!"
Hearing this, the protective spirits all gave bitter smiles, while Tang Sanzang felt like crying but had no tears...
Tang Sanzang asked, "Zhu Ganglie, you... since you followed that fake monk, why have you come back to find me?"
Zhu Ganglie stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then suddenly looked up at the sky and exclaimed, "Look, a demon!"
Everyone instinctively looked up, only to experience a whirlwind of flying sand and rocks as a fierce wind picked up!
By the time they realized something was amiss and looked down, Zhu Ganglie had vanished.
The group hastily turned to Tang Sanzang, who was unharmed. They exchanged glances and murmured, "That Zhu Ganglie left and then returned, stirred up a wind, and without doing much else, has left again. What is he actually up to?"
