Chapter 9 Chapter Six

Robbing concubines and conquering demons are common motifs in oriental epics.Gesar's first battle is to eliminate Luzan, the king of the Demon Kingdom who snatched Mesa from the sky. The aunt of the God of Heaven ordered Gesar to go to retreat, but she had to take Mesa with her.Zhumu insists on going by herself, leaving Mesa to manage the milking and other chores.Lu Zan found out about this situation, took the opportunity of Mesa weaving at the door of the tent, and snatched it away. Gesar did everything possible to get rid of Zhumu's entanglement and pursuit, and galloped northward on a red rabbit horse.A total of three checkpoints have been passed, the first time I defeated the sister of the devil king, and the second time I defeated the three-headed demon.The third level is the most powerful, guarded by a five-headed shepherd named Qin En.At this time, Gesar had accepted Adala Mao, the sister of the Demon King, as his concubine, and made friends with Qin En as her husband-in-law.Qin En inquired about the whereabouts of the Demon King for him every day.

Mesa was forced to become the concubine of the devil, and everything followed the customs of the devil. She wore a yak hat and a yak leather jacket, exactly like a cow.The arrival of Gesar surprised her, and she suspected that the devil might be using illusion to test her.After various cross-examinations, the two hugged and recognized each other.Mesa regained her former beauty. , as long as his lifeline protection exists, no weapon can kill him.He has Minggenzihai, Minggenzibison, etc., all of which are hidden in the most secret places.Mesa pretended to flatter the devil, making him reveal his key point.The devil said to her: "My lifeblood, the sea, can't be dried. Only by pouring the poisonous water in the skull in my warehouse into the sea can it be dried. Even if it is dried, it will not harm me. The tree of my lifeblood can only be cut by three strikes with the golden ax in my warehouse... The bison of my lifeblood can only be shot to death with the precious bow and arrow in my warehouse... There is a small crystal fish shining in front of the forehead, and only when it is shining, shooting an arrow can be fatal." (Quoted from the sub-chapter) Gesar figured out the secret of the devil, and the devil was finally defeated to death, Qin En Appointed as the Minister of the Demon Kingdom.Accompanied by Mesa and Adalamao, Gesar never returned home happily.

This is Gesar's first expedition, and it occupies an important position in the entire epic.
