Chapter 101: Fire Cloud Cave
It was still spring at the time of the Lotus Cave, and now it has come to autumn.
The frost withers the red leaves, and the wind shakes the mangosteen.
Tang Xuanzang inevitably saw things and thoughts, but he was never idle, or he didn't mean to stop at all.
What's even more strange is that since I left Chang'an City, I have been cultivating night and night, polishing my dreams, but my cultivation has not increased at all.
But it's also capable.
Thinking about it carefully, after the black chicken country is the red child, this is Sun Wukong's old acquaintance, the child of the Bull Demon King.
He is over 300 years old this year, so Sun Wukong has never seen him.
Tang Xuanzang remembered that in the original book, Sun Wukong still wanted to be able to come to the door to recognize his relatives, and then let him release the master.
But he is entangled in demons, his nature is vicious, Tang Seng meat is in front of him, where would he be willing to recognize Sun Wukong and then let Tang Seng go?
It's just that I don't know how long it will take to get to the Dry Pine Stream Fire Cloud Cave.
"Ding!New check-in tasks have been refreshed, please check them out in time!"
was thinking about it, Tang Xuanzang received the check-in task again.
This mission is the red boy he is about to meet!
After walking for nearly half a month, I suddenly saw a high mountain, which was very steep.
Tang Xuanzang's heart moved: "It can't be that you have already arrived near the Huoyun Cave, right?"
The four masters and apprentices were stopping to watch the scene, and a red cloud rose from the mountain col, rising into the air, gathering a ball of fire.
Tang Xuanzang looked at it from a distance and said with a smile: "Wukong, do you know who this monster is?"
Of course, Sun Wukong didn't know.
"Speaking of which, this monster still has some relationship with you!" Tang Xuanzang was speechless, and looked back at Sun Wukong, "He is the son of the Bull Demon King!"
Sun Wukong was stunned at first, then became happy, and said, "Master, this is really a creation!
"Then I will come to the door to recognize a relative, I dare not say that he will be entertained, at least give us convenience, let us go west!"
Tang Xuanzang stretched out a finger, shook it in front of him, and said, "If you don't come to the door for three years, you won't be a kiss." ”
"You have been separated from the Bull Demon King for five or six hundred years, you have not eaten his banquet, and you have not been invited by a courtesy, where is he willing to confess anything to you. ”
Sun Wukong was just about to refute, but Tang Xuanzang said again: "What's more, your master's reputation now can be regarded as spreading, and they all say that if you eat a bite of my meat, you can live forever!"
"Where will he let us go?"
Hearing Tang Xuanzang say this, the three apprentices suddenly discovered that since the white bone essence, there were more and more people who said that they wanted to eat Tang monk's meat.
But they live with Master every day, and they don't feel that he looks like an immortal fruit!
Tang Xuanzang could only ignore the questions of his apprentices, and in the eyes of his apprentices, he, the master, seemed to have established an all-knowing image.
But about this matter, he has always only had a guess, probably a rumor spread by the West.
Of course, Heavenly Court is not without this possibility, in case Tang Xuanzang really dies on the road because of this rumor, it will be one more respite for Heavenly Court.
Tang Xuanzang shook his head slightly, it was useless to guess here, not the next time he saw Nanhai Guanyin, the two sides discussed and discussed, and exchanged ideas.
The monster in the red light watched in mid-air, and saw three apprentices, surrounding Tang Xuanzang on a horse, all holding weapons in their hands, and they were on guard.
The monster was full of praise and said: "I just watched a white-faced monk riding a horse, it is really a holy monk from the Tang Kingdom, how can he be protected by three ugly monks!"
"One by one, each with his own weapon, as if he was going to fight with someone! I don't know which one has eyesight, thinking that he should recognize me. ”
"If it goes on like this, don't think about eating Tang monk meat!"
After pondering for a long time, the monster asked himself and said, "If you want to capture it directly, it is estimated that it is unlikely." Maybe you can change it, trick him into taking the bait, and take the initiative to send it to me!"
The monster immediately dissipated the red light, pressed the cloud head, went to the hillside, and transformed into a seven-year-old urchin.
The bare-striped, without clothes, tied their hands and feet with hemp ropes, hung high on the top of the pine tree, and shouted: "Help!
When Sun Wukong saw the red clouds disperse, he said happily: "Master, it seems that my good nephew is still sensible and has taken the initiative to retreat!"
Tang Xuanzang smiled and said: "Wukong, his parents may not have mentioned you to him, I see, he has other plans!"
While the two were talking, they heard the shouts of children in the distance.
Tang Xuanzang smiled and said, "Look, what am I talking about?
Sun Wukong's face was stunned, and he was stunned, he has traveled north and south over the years, and has made countless friends, big and small, which one can't let him be thin, but he was lost face by the red boy.
For a while, he also had a little grudge in his heart against his righteous brother, and he didn't even mention their glorious years to the child.
As they walked on, they saw a seven- or eight-year-old boy hanging from a treetop.
The three apprentices glanced at the master and asked if they wanted to save him.
Tang Xuanzang shook his head slightly, signaling not to worry.
He asked the monster, "Which child are you, and why are you hanging from a tree?"
The monster had tears in his eyes and shouted, "Elder, there is a dry pine stream in Shanxi, and there is a village on the other side of the stream, and I am from there. ”
"My grandfather's surname is Hong, because of his extensive accumulation of gold and silver, the family wealth is rich, and the mixed name is called Red Million. He died a long time ago, and the family property was left to my father. ”
Sun Wukong listened, and felt a little like beating him up for the Bull Demon King, but he didn't move, wanting to hear what nonsense he could make up.
The monster said: "Recently, the family property has become less and less, and the name has been changed to Red 100,000, and I have specially befriended the heroes of the four roads, borrowed gold and silver, and earned some interest." ”
"Who knew that he was deceived by someone who did not have a household registration! My father made a vow not to borrow a penny. ”
"And those who borrowed money formed a gang of murderers, and slaughtered my house, and robbed it as much as they could. killed my father, and when he saw that my mother was still a little beautiful, he turned around and became a wife of the village. ”
"My mother could not bear me, so she took me in her arms, wept and wept, followed the thief, came to the mountains, and tried to kill me again. ”
"Thanks to my mother's pleas, not a single knife killed me. But they hung me from a tree with a rope, and prepared to starve me to death, and the thieves did not know where my mother had gone. ”
"I've been hanging here for three days and three nights, and no one has passed through here. ”
"Fortunately, I met the old elder, if you are willing to save my life and go home, even if you sell your life, you must thank the elder!"
Tang Xuanzang nodded, I have to say that his story is quite good, with a beginning and an end.
It's just that as his parents, he shouldn't like this story.
His father is the Bull Demon King, and his mother is a Rakshasa Girl, the Iron Fan Princess.
This story is filled with characters, and it becomes the Bull Demon King who lends money, but he is deceived by someone. Of course the Bull Demon King didn't do it, so he swore not to borrow a penny.
Those who borrowed money were in a hurry to use the money, and the Bull Demon King, the unjust boss, refused to borrow money, so what should I do?
So they formed a bandit party, robbed the Bull Demon King's family, killed the Bull Demon King, and occupied the Iron Fan Princess.
Tang Xuanzang touched his chin, thinking about this story with a smile, and found that it was quite interesting!
If some parents hear their children curse themselves like this, they should be angry and beat him.
But the Bull Demon King's family should be more doting on children, and it shouldn't be enough to beat them, so is it possible to cooperate with them?
Tang Xuanzang smiled and nodded, and said, "Your story is good, but why should we save you?"
The monster's breath stagnated, he heard that Tang Sanzang was the reincarnation of the golden cicada, a good person in the tenth life, so he decided on this plan, could it be said that he was wrong?
The rumors are simply false?
Tang Sanzang is not a good person at all?
Can his flesh live forever?
Or is it not Tang Sanzang at all?
Tang Xuanzang didn't know that he had so many thoughts for a while, and said: "Look, these people around me are all monsters. ”
"Let's take this one with a hairy face and Lei Gongzui, he is my eldest apprentice called Sun Wukong, his family lives in Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave, and five hundred years ago he was a brother with the Bull Demon King, the Jiao Demon King, the Peng Demon King, the Lion Camel King, the Macaque King, and the Yu Tamarin King. ”
When Tang Xuanzang mentioned the Bull Demon King, he saw this monster with a flash in his eyes, excitement and doubt, and a trace of inexplicable boredom.
Tang Xuanzang understood that it should be the Bull Demon King who raised a jade-faced fox outside, which made his mother not very happy, so he was a little tired of the Bull Demon King.
He continued: "Five hundred years ago, this Monkey King once made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace and was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years. ”
The monster didn't believe his words very much, but since he wanted to win Tang Sanzang's trust, he had no choice but to listen.
Tang Xuanzang pointed at Zhu Bajie and said, "Do you see that monster with a long mouth and big ears? He is a pig demon, a wild boar demon, and it is also because of his shaving that he has become this white appearance." ”
"That's a water monster, and he doesn't eat less if you want to eat people. ”
In the end, Tang Xuanzang pointed to himself and asked, "Since they are all monsters, I am their master, what do you guess I am?"
The youkai wondered, "Youkai?"
Tang Xuanzang smiled and stretched out a finger, shook it in front of him, and said, "How can I be a monster! Even if I am a demon, I am also a goblin!"
"I am a human being, a human being. ”
Tang Xuanzang saw his eyes brighten, and continued: "Yes, you heard it right, it is the person who is rumored to be able to live forever. ”
He stared at the monster's eyes and said, "I've said everything to this point, and you still don't want to do it?"
The monster saw that the plan had been discovered, so he made a whirlwind, and with a loud roar, he walked the stones and sand, and the yellow sand covered people's eyes.
The monster just wanted to make a move, but saw that Sun Wukong didn't seem to be affected at all, and smashed it towards the monster with the golden hoop stick!
The monster was frightened, why didn't the demon wind have any effect on him?
