Chapter 114: Trouble Again
Tang Seng also felt a little hungry at the moment, so he said to everyone: "Let's go into the city quickly." ”
In order not to cause panic among the residents of the ancient city, except for Ruan Jiu, the other three were forcibly asked by Tang Seng to cover their faces. But then everyone's behavior becomes even stranger.
As soon as they approached the city gate, those who were still chatting with each other all turned their eyes to them. Tang Seng and Ruan Jiu walked in the front, the former was handsome, and the latter also had a charming face. The two walked together, attracting a stunning gaze.
However, the last three are a little strange.
Sun Wukong and Sha Seng each wrapped their faces with a long cloth, leaving only their mouths, noses and eyes. Although it looks a little weird, at least it is still within the range of people's acceptance.
But when it comes to Zhu Bajie, the situation seems to be a little wrong.
is also a long strip of cloth, but Zhu Bajie can only wrap his ears and nose around. Because his head was so big, it was impossible to wrap it in strips of cloth on his forehead and below his nose.
In order not to show his appearance, Zhu Bajie could only block his mouth with his right arm while walking. But then he looks even more funny.
The ancient city of Xihu is said to have existed for thousands of years. Although most of the buildings in the city have been renovated in later generations, many have been preserved intact.
The whole city is not very large, and the number of inhabitants in the city is only a few thousand, including the young people who go out. However, what really makes the city famous is a mysterious legend about her that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Legend has it that in this ancient city, there lived a Destiny Divine Beast from ancient times. It is precisely because of this divine beast that this thousand-year-old city has never suffered a natural disaster since ancient times.
Even in today's chaotic world of gods and demons, it is still peaceful and quiet.
It is said that there was once a powerful youkai who wanted to occupy the city, but before it could get close to the city, a mysterious force shattered the original god on the spot.
Since then, no demon has dared to approach this ancient city.
Although this is a legend, once more people talk about it, the legend gradually puts on a thin veil of realism.
In fact, before entering the ancient city, Ruan Jiu was still a little worried in his heart. After all, Sun Wukong, they are also monsters strictly speaking. If the divine beasts in this ancient city were really so powerful, wouldn't they also be poisoned by it?
She told Sun Wukong about this worry, but Sun Wukong was not worried at all. Not only him, but even Zhu Bajie, who has always been timid and fearful, also seems quite disdainful. The reason is that he doesn't believe in the existence of any Heavenly Destiny Divine Beast at all, thinking that it is just a nonsense legend in the mortal world.
Seeing that everyone didn't care, Ruan Jiu had no choice but to give up.
After successfully entering the ancient city, everyone was immediately amazed by the buildings in the city. The architectural style of the whole city is very different from the outside world. Just the private buildings on both sides of the road, Ruan Jiu didn't know what words to use to describe them.
Because it's not so much a house as a giant stone carving. This is because most of the buildings here are almost entirely carved out of a single giant rock block.
Whether it's the door frames, the windows, or the lobby and bedrooms inside. Almost all of them are made in one piece.
And houses like this one are found almost every few meters on the main street.
I don't know if it's because everyone's costumes are too weird, and the people in the city are curious to look at it from afar. Especially when they saw the three strange-looking guys following behind them, everyone's faces showed curious and surprised looks.
"Master, this ancient city doesn't seem to be the same as the city outside. As Ruan Jiu walked, he whispered to Tang Seng who had already dismounted.
"Xihu was originally a city in ancient times, and the teacher didn't know much about her. However, judging from the architectural styles in the city, these houses should have existed for thousands of years. Tang Seng sighed and said to Ruan Jiu.
"Master, depending on my grandson. Not to mention that this ancient city has existed for thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years is completely possible. Sun Wukong stepped forward and said at this time.
Tang Seng nodded his forehead slightly: "What Wukong said also makes some sense. ”
Everyone was chatting, when they suddenly heard a woman's exclamation behind them.
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly looked back.
"Bajie!"
It turned out that Zhu Bajie, who had been walking behind the line, was attracted by a baked cake shop on the side of the street as he walked. His stomach was growling from hunger. Now when I smell those baked cakes that exude a strong fragrance, my heart suddenly feels like a river and sea surging.
So he didn't care about the master's entrustment, and came directly to the shop alone.
Perhaps he was dazzled by the aroma of the baked cakes, and Zhu Bajie's mind was hot, so he directly picked up a piece of baked cakes on the slate and ate it.
Originally, the people around who watched the excitement didn't feel anything, but Zhu Bajie moved too much because of eating. As a result, he accidentally scraped off the long cloth that wrapped his face.
Now, the whole huge pig's head appeared in front of everyone in an instant. After seeing this scene, everyone was slightly stunned at first, and then someone in the crowd began to shout wildly.
This shout naturally startled Zhu Bajie, and he wanted to turn around and run. As a result, when he turned around, he was careless, and the whole person lay face on the ground directly.
"Oops!"
This is really a hard fall.
"That nerd!"
Sun Wukong frowned when he saw this, and then came to Zhu Bajie with Sha Seng.
"Bajie, does this soil taste okay?" Sun Wukong looked at Zhu Bajie lying on the ground, and couldn't help but teasing.
"Brother Monkey ......"
Seeing Zhu Bajie's depressed face, Sun Wukong stretched out his hand and pulled him up from the ground.
"Look! Is that man a youkai?"
"Definitely, how could a normal person walk on the road with a pig's head on his head?"
"That's right, I'm sure it's a monster, it's a pig demon!"
......
The crowd began to talk about it, and a few of them were more courageous, and even wanted to go up and reach out to touch Zhu Bajie's ears.
"Go away, go away!"
Seeing this, Sun Wukong hurriedly showed a row of fangs to the few onlookers.
At this moment, a white-haired old man on crutches suddenly walked into the crowd. The old man first glanced at Sun Wukong and the others, and then raised his cane slightly to signal everyone not to make noise.
Tang Seng and Ruan Jiu also came to Zhu Bajie's side at this time. Seeing this, Tang Seng folded his hands and bowed slightly to the old man.
"Amitabha Buddha ......"
