It was another spring and summer. Ye Chen and Tang Seng were not afraid of danger. They climbed over one mountain after another, crossed one river after another, and walked across grasslands. They ate and slept in the open, traveling day and night.
Finally, one day before sunset, they arrived at Tuo Luo Manor. They had been traveling for several days and everyone was very tired, so Tang Seng suggested that they find a place to rest, order some vegetarian food, and find a place to stay.
So Tang Seng went to knock on the door of a house and saw an old man open the door. Tang Seng told him the purpose of his visit. When the old man saw that he was a monk, he sighed with an obscure look in his eyes.
Tang Seng did not know why, so he quickly asked the old man why he sighed.
The old man said, "A monk like you can't even pass the Seven Extremes Mountain in front of you, let alone go to the Western Paradise."
Tang Seng was puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that?"
The old man said again, "You don't know about the Seven Extremes Mountain. The mountain stretches for 800 miles, and the persimmons have turned into mud. As long as people go in, they will be swallowed. It's a land of cannibalism. You can't pass it, so you'd better go back early."
Tang Seng was a little worried when he heard this. Monkey King could not help but jump out and question the old man, "It's really impossible for us to believe you based on your one-sided words."
"And we'll know what kind of place the Seven Extremes Mountain is after we go there. There's no need for you to mislead us here."
Only then did the old man realize that there were three big men and a handsome young man behind Tang Seng. When he saw the appearance of Monkey King and the other two, the old man was frightened. He stepped back and hurriedly wanted to close the door.
Tang Seng glared at Monkey King. Monkey King quickly smiled apologetically and blocked the old man's hand from closing the door. He said to the old man, "I was rude just now. Please forgive me."
"We came from the Tang Kingdom of the East to seek scriptures from the West. Although my brothers and I are a little ugly, we have the ability to subdue demons."
When the old man heard that they could subdue the demons, he was very happy. His face was beaming like a flower. He hurriedly let Tang Seng and the others in and then ordered his son and daughter-in-law to prepare a table of delicious dishes to entertain them.
Monkey King wondered how this old man could be so fickle. His attitude towards them was like two different people. He guessed that this old man must have something to ask of them.
Ba Jie was an impatient person, so he didn't beat around the bush and directly asked the old man if he had anything to ask of him.
The old man said, "I do have something I need your help with."
As it turned out, there was a Seven Extremes Mountain to the west of Tuoluo Mountains. Many persimmon trees were planted on this mountain, and every year, a lot of persimmons would be produced.
However, having too many persimmons was also a disadvantage. That was because the people here couldn't eat persimmons every day.
As a result, over the years, no one went to pick the persimmons. The ripe persimmons would fall to the ground and gradually rot. Furthermore, no one went to clean up the rotting persimmons. The rotting persimmons turned Seven Extremes Mountain into a river of mud.
Every time the west wind blew, the strange smell of the rotting persimmons would drift into the farmstead. It was extremely pungent and disgusting.
One summer, the people in the farmstead were harvesting grain in the fields when a strong gust of wind suddenly blew. Yellow sand filled the sky, causing the sky to darken. Everyone's vision was instantly blurred.
Everyone thought that the weather was bad and that it was going to rain. They hurriedly packed up their things and prepared to go home.
