After listening to Sun Wukong's words, Ruan Jiu's originally restless heart finally let go. In the past, she liked Sun Wukong's personality, upright, kind and loved to hoe the strong and help the weak. To be able to be his junior sister, Ruan Jiu felt that he was really lucky.

The two then talked about a number of topics. Without the estrangement in his heart, Ruan Jiu became more relaxed when chatting. There is a feeling of self-liberation.

However, what the two didn't know was that at the entrance of the cave at this moment, a figure was secretly watching them......

The next morning, everyone who had rested all night was full of energy.

"Apprentices, let's hurry up. Tang Seng looked at the mountain road in front of him and said to everyone.

"Master, Xiao Jiu and I have already seen it yesterday. There are two roads at the bottom of the mountain, one passing through a small town at the foot of the mountain. The other leads directly to the North Stygian Mountain. It's just that the mountain road is not easy to walk. Sun Wukong walked up to Tang Seng and said.

"Can you get to the North Stygian Mountain so soon?" Tang Seng said in surprise.

Sha Seng also looked puzzled: "Senior brother, I remember that the North Stygian Mountain will take about three days to travel, right?

Sun Wukong smiled, pointed to Ruan Jiu on the side and said, "This is thanks to our little junior sister." ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were all looking at him, Ruan Jiu said with some embarrassment: "When I came back yesterday, I accidentally found a fork in the road. I found that if you follow that road, you can quickly reach the North Styx Mountain, but the mountain road is a little difficult to walk. ”

Zhu Bajie said at this time: "I don't think we can be too anxious about this. Master, with his body, I think it's safer to take the big road. ”

Sun Wukong said: "Master, what the Eight Commandments said about this matter also makes sense. The trail is not easy to walk, and although it will take some time to walk the main road, at least you will be more comfortable. ”

Tang Seng shook his head and said, "As a teacher, my greatest wish is to reach Lingshan as soon as possible. There have been many hardships and hardships along the way, when did you see the retreat for the teacher?"

Zhu Bajie pouted, just about to speak. At this time, Lu Yunyi, who was listening to the side, suddenly said: "I think we can take that path." ”

Everyone looked back at Lu Yunyi, and Zhu Bajie was puzzled: "This mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, why do you like to walk as a girl?"

Lu Yunyi smiled faintly: "I'm not as squeamish as you say. Besides, it's just a mountain road, wouldn't it be nice to save two or three days of time?"

"Amitabha. ”

Tang Seng clasped his hands together and said, "What Lord Lu said is extremely true. Wujing, don't pack your luggage yet. ”

"Yes, Master. ”

Everyone saw that Tang Seng had made up his mind, so they didn't say anything.

Ruan Jiu came to Sun Wukong's side and asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, do we have to go over the North Styx Mountain?"

Sun Wukong glanced at Ruan Jiu and said, "That is the only way to go west, if you bypass it, I'm afraid that the master will not agree." ”

"Is that so......"

"Are you worried?"

Ruan Jiu nodded his forehead and slowly said to Sun Wukong: "When I came back yesterday, I took a look over there and found that there was a faint black gas on the mountainside. I'm worried that youkai will be over there. ”

Sun Wukong said with a smile: "Mountains and forests like this generally have monsters cultivating in them. As long as they don't stop us, they don't have to worry about them. ”

"Oh......"

Ruan Jiu nodded, just about to turn around and leave. Sun Wukong suddenly shouted to her again.

"What's wrong, senior brother?"

Sun Wukong glanced at the people behind him, and whispered to Ruan Jiu: "You have to pay more attention to that Lu Yunyi." ”

Ruan Jiu was slightly stunned: "Senior brother, what do you mean ......?"

"My grandson knows countless people, but I can't see through this woman at all. In short, you need to be more careful. ”

After listening to Sun Wukong's words, Ruan Jiu was silent for a moment.

"I see. Thank you, brother, for the reminder. Ruan Jiu said with a solemn expression.

In fact, even if Sun Wukong didn't say these words to her, Ruan Jiu also had a trace of doubt about Lu Yunyi in his heart. It's just that the identity of the other party is an ordinary human woman after all, which is undoubtedly fundamentally different from the monsters encountered before.

So Ruan Jiu didn't want to believe that Lu Yunyi had a problem from the bottom of his heart. But she's not stupid, and there are some things that don't even look like now. After a long time, the other party will naturally show its feet.

On both sides of Sun Wukong and Lu Yunyi, Ruan Jiu naturally focuses on the former. This is indisputable.

walked to the back of the team again, and happened to see Lu Yunyi chatting with Zhu Bajie. Seeing Ruan Jiu coming, Lu Yunyi said with a smile: "Little Sister Jiu, I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"

"Huh?" Ruan Jiu looked confused, not knowing why she suddenly said this to herself.

Lu Yunyi said with a smile: "Senior Brother Pig said just now that you are very good at fighting monsters, is this true?"

Ruan Jiu hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't listen to him, how can I be so powerful." If it hadn't been for the presence of the senior brother in those previous times, I might have been killed by the monster a long time ago. ”

"Little Sister Jiu, you are too modest. Lu Yunyi didn't seem to believe Ruan Jiu's words.

Ruan Jiu was speechless, so he had to secretly glared at Zhu Bajie on the side. I secretly said in my heart: Okay, you old pig, you don't hesitate to involve yourself in order to chat with girls.

At this time, Sun Wukong, who had been walking in the front, turned back and said to everyone: "The road below is a little difficult, everyone be careful." ”

Everyone looked for prestige, but saw that there was a fork in the road down the mountain in front of them. Further down, some of the steep slopes have reached a gradient of more than 50 degrees. In some places, there are even slight faults.

It does take a lot of courage and perseverance to get down such a mountain trail.

Sun Wukong pulled Tang Seng all the way, so that the other party did not fall because of the rugged mountain road. Ruan Jiu and Lu Yunyi walked in the middle. Lu Yunyi is a mortal woman, and she is a famous lady. This kind of mountain road is really a torment for her.

"No more...... I can't walk anymore. ”

After stepping over a dry old tree root, Lu Yunyi squatted on the ground and began to gasp for air.

Ruan Jiu stepped forward and carefully helped her up.

"Are you tired?" asked Ruan Jiu in a low voice.

"Well, my feet hurt. Lu Yunyi touched the instep of his foot, his eyes slightly filled with tears.

Tang Seng, who was walking in front, stopped, and when he saw this situation, he had to say to everyone: "Let's rest first." ”

Sun Wukong frowned slightly, from the time they started to descend the mountain until now, they only walked half a pillar of incense. During this period, Lu Yunyi almost fell at least three times because he didn't pay attention to his feet. If you go at this rate, it is estimated that it will not be until tomorrow morning to reach the North Styx Mountain.

Sha Seng glanced at the mountain road below, and then looked at Lu Yunyi, who was still rubbing his feet on the side.

"The mountain road down here is basically like this, if you can't walk, you might as well go straight from the main road just now. ”

Zhu Bajie was dissatisfied: "I said Senior Brother Sha, after all, they are still girls. It's not surprising that you're tired from walking this mountain road!"

Sha Seng looked at him and said, "Isn't everyone like this? ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Bajie's eyes immediately lit up. Hehe smiled: "That's a good idea! I don't want to say anything else, it's no problem to carry someone down the mountain." ”
