Chapter 16: White Shadows Under the Moon

Let's say that after the Zhang couple saw their son wake up, they wanted to kowtow to Tang Seng and his apprentices to thank him. In the end, under Li Zong's persuasion, his mood improved a little.

Looking at the little boy who was alive again, Li Zong couldn't help but sigh lightly: "This time thanks to the holy monk and several of your apprentices, otherwise the old man would have a fresh life on his back." ”

"Amitabha, you can't blame all the adults for this. Monsters are tricky, and they are the most demagogic. It is naturally difficult for ordinary people to discern. Tang Seng comforted.

What the holy monk said was very ...... So what should we do now?" Things have developed to this point, and Li Zong, as the mayor of a town, has no clue.

"What's so difficult about this? As long as you find that fake Taoist priest, won't everything be revealed?" Zhu Bajie said.

"Old man, do you know where the old Taoist priest is?" asked Sun Wukong.

Li Zong's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "That Qingfeng Dao Chang has been living in a Taoist temple seven kilometers west of the town before. But yesterday I sent someone to Guannei and found that he was no longer there. ”

"Oh, so he ran away?"

"This ...... The official doesn't know ...... this time," Li Zong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, then walked up to Li Zong and said with a smile: "Old man, I think you don't care about this matter for now." You go back and tell the people in town what happened, and don't trouble the family again. As for the old Taoist priest...... I'll leave it to my master to deal with. ”

Li Zong hurriedly expressed his gratitude after hearing this. He didn't want to take care of this mess for a long time, and now that these outsiders are going to come out, it's better to leave it to them. Even if something really went wrong in the end, he would have to explain it to the Qingfeng Dao Chief.

So the old lieutenant respectfully saluted everyone and left Zhang's house.

After Li Zong left, Tang Seng asked Sun Wukong: "Wukong, what you said just now, do you have a solution in your heart?"

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, that monster can't make any big waves." After tonight, I will go to the Luoquan River again tomorrow. ”

"Yes, Master, you see what time it has been, my old pig's stomach has been growling with hunger for a long time. Zhu Bajie covered his bulging belly and muttered quietly.

"Eight precepts. Tang Seng frowned slightly. This apprentice of his own is good at everything, but he is too greedy.

Hearing this, the Zhang family on the side hurriedly said, "A few masters, wait a while, and we will prepare a meal." ”

"Then thank you to the benefactor. ”

Tang Seng folded his hands and saluted.

"Master, if it weren't for you, my poor child might have been ......" Zhang gently stroked the forehead of the boy next to him, his eyes full of love.

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but be deeply moved.

This meal, the Zhang family took out almost everything that could be eaten at home. For such a poor family, it is already a great blessing to be able to eat a full meal every day.

Except for Zhu Bajie, the rest of the people only symbolically ate a little bit. It's not that they deliberately save it, but that the white noodles at this table are almost all eaten by Zhu Bajie alone.

Ruan Jiu saw that his second senior brother had an amazing amount of food, so he left half of the steamed bun in his hand and handed it to him.

Zhu Bajie naturally did not refuse to come, and was about to reach out to pick it up, but he didn't want to be snatched away by Sun Wukong halfway.

"Idiot! Xiao Jiu is kind enough to save it for you, are you really embarrassed to reach out and take it?" With that, Sun Wukong handed the half of the steamed bun to the bowl in front of Ruan Jiu.

"You leave him alone, even if you give him a mountain of rice, he can eat it all. ”

Ruan Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that she was sure of this. To say that in the entire Journey to the West world, the most edible Pa is only Zhu Bajie. Otherwise, the Buddha would not have made him a messenger of the altar after the study of the scriptures.

"You damn monkey, Xiao Jiu gave it to me, what are you doing here?" Zhu Bajie hummed at Sun Wukong while stuffing steamed buns into his mouth.

"Oh, if you have the audacity, you say it again?"

Sun Wukong stood up and was about to pinch Zhu Bajie's ears. Frightened, Zhu Bajie hurriedly hid behind Tang Seng.

Tang Seng shook his head helplessly, but there was no displeasure on his face, he just warned everyone not to be too noisy, so as not to affect the rest of others.

After dinner, under the arrangement of the Zhang couple, the five masters and apprentices were arranged in a guest room together. It is said to be a guest room, but it is actually a slightly larger room. There was nothing inside except a few plank beds and stools. This is also what the young couple has been working for a long time to sort out.

Originally, Ruan Jiu was arranged to sleep in the same room with Zhang, but Ruan Jiu felt that this was too troublesome. She would rather live with Master and her brothers. Although everyone felt that it was inappropriate, they couldn't bear Ruan Jiu's soft grinding and hard bubbles.

In the end, everyone pulled a strip of cloth next to the wooden bed where Ruan Jiu slept, which was indirectly separated into a separate room.

I didn't say anything all night, maybe because I was too tired during the day. The master and apprentice soon fell asleep.

Ruan Jiu looked at the night outside the window, and his heart was full of emotion. This is how his journey to the west began...... It's kind of incredible to think about. During the day, she asked Zhu Bajie about some things on the way to learn scriptures, and found that their experience was very different from the Journey to the West world she knew.

But it doesn't matter, it's already here anyway, and there's no point in thinking about anything else.

However, everyone's personality is quite consistent with the impression in her memory. This made Ruan Jiu very surprised, and of course he was very happy.

Thinking about it, sleepiness began to gradually rise. I don't know how long it took, but in a daze, Ruan Jiu felt that there seemed to be something outside the door.

If you look closely, it sounds like an old man whispering.

Ruan Jiu couldn't help but wonder, who was talking outside the door so late? She looked around and found that several senior brothers and masters were sleeping well. So she cautiously got out of bed and walked softly behind the door.

Looking through the crack in the wooden door by the moonlight outside, I saw an old man dressed in white standing motionless under the jujube tree outside the courtyard.

Suddenly seeing this scene, it was in the quiet of the night, and Ruan Jiu couldn't help but be startled no matter how bold he was.

Just then, a furry hand gently patted her on the shoulder.

Ruan Jiu was shocked, and almost instinctively kicked back with his foot.

"Don't kick, it's me!"

Sun Wukong's deep voice came from behind him, and it could be heard from the voice that he deliberately lowered his voice.

Ruan Jiuqiang pressed his pounding heart, and his face turned pale. She never thought that Sun Wukong would suddenly appear behind her. And it's the way this horror comes out.

"Did I scare you just now?"

"No!

Sun Wukong nodded, and then made a silent gesture to her.
