Time passed swiftly, and before they realized it, more than a month had gone by.
After Sun Wukong and the others subdued the mighty axe-wielding Great Sage and obtained the Yangzhou Cauldron, they rested for quite a while at Zuo Liang’s mansion.
Then they set off to return home, needing to transport the Yangzhou and Jingzhou Cauldrons back to the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave.
These two cauldrons were extremely heavy.
Sun Wukong had the strength to lift one, but there was no way he could carry both at once.
So he took the Jingzhou Cauldron with him, while the Yangzhou Cauldron was entrusted to Zhu Bajie.
When Zhu Bajie learned of this, he was shocked and pale, but fortunately, Sun Wukong explained that Zhenjian and Chenxiang would assist, so he reluctantly accepted the task.
After over half a month’s effort, the group finally delivered the two cauldrons to the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave.
By the time they arrived, they were utterly exhausted.
Zhu Bajie placed the Yangzhou Cauldron before the cave’s gate, panting heavily. “Brother, this old pig truly can’t manage anymore. This cauldron is extremely heavy. With some smart effort and the help of Zhenjian and Chenxiang, I barely managed to carry it here.”
Zhenjian, sweating profusely, sat beside him, unable to speak.
