Chapter 66: Children in a Deserted Village
The white bone spirit raised his eyes to look at this mountain peak, only to see that it was high into the green and majestic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The red plums and green pines are all over the mountain, the flowers are blooming, the breeze is blowing, and the leaves are rustling, quiet and serene.
"You're right, this is not only a famous mountain, but also a very troublesome famous mountain. Relying on his familiarity with the original Journey to the West, thinking of the mysterious king in the mountains, Bai Gujing said solemnly.
Sanzang's expression was slightly surprised: "I just said casually, there is really a strange demon in the world? Could it be that the other party also has some formation magic weapon in his hand, which can make you feel troubled!"
"It is not yet known. The white bone spirit shook his head and said, "Go up the mountain, no matter what demons and monsters he is, he can't stop us from moving forward." ā
Sanzang dismounted, a group of people walked up the winding mountain road, when they reached the halfway up the mountain, they suddenly saw the flying sand and stones above the top of the mountain, and the thunder and fire roared, which was terrifying.
"Is there a youkai coming?" Sanzang said after a pause.
"I didn't feel the slightest demonic aura, if there was really someone coming, the cultivation must be Xuanmen orthodoxy. The White Bone Spirit whispered.
After walking for a while, there were faint shouts in everyone's ears. The sound seemed to come from far away, shattered by the wind.
"Have you ever heard the call?" Sanzang tried to listen for a moment, but found nothing, and then turned his eyes to ask.
"It's like saving people. Tiancang had just said half a sentence, and when he saw the white bone spirit shaking his head at himself, he immediately changed his words: "People are often the way, and when things go abnormal, they are demons." Such a voice came from this demon mountain, it must be unusual, Sanzang, you better put away your kindness. ā
Sanzang looked at him intently, and said calmly: "You still have luck in your heart, when the calamity comes, you can hide from the past?" Everyone, let's go, let's see who is calling." ā
Everyone followed the sound and walked forward, and soon came to a valley, but they saw dozens of thatched houses here, arranged in columns. Inside and outside the hut, corpses were strewn all over the place, and blood was flowing everywhere, staining the rocky ground red.
"This corpse is real...... What happened here to cause such a tragedy?!" Sanzang squatted down and touched the already cold corpse, and an unbearable look flashed on his face.
The white bone spirit looked indifferent, and said in his heart: "Could it be you, Holy Child King?"
"Help, help!" At this moment, the weak call sounded again, Sanzang no longer hesitated, quickly stood up, and ran away with the sound.
Everyone came to the place where the sound came from, and saw three or five corpses stacked together, and a call came from them.
Sanzang took matters into his own hands and moved the body away, and it turned out that there was a naked child hidden inside, covered in blood, and his face was blue.
"Sanzang, he's a goblin!" Seeing that Sanzang was about to bend over and pick up the child, the white bone spirit said lightly.
Sanzang's body stiffened, stopped moving, and asked the others, "Have you ever seen his true body?"
"No, I didn't. "In my eyes, this is an unfortunate child. ā
Sha Wujing followed and said: "Maybe it's because the strength is not enough, and I don't see any clues." ā
"What about you, Wukong?" asked Sanzang.
"I didn't see it, but I trusted the judgment of the bones. The monkey said without thinking.
Sanzang nodded, leaned down, picked up the child, and said seriously to Bai Gu: "It's not that I don't trust you, but I can't ignore any life. Until I can't be sure if he's a goblin or not, at least I'll have to keep him alive. ā
The white bone spirit chuckled lightly and said disappreciatively, "It's okay, you just do what you want to do, I want to see what big drama he can perform." ā
Leaving the bloody valley with the child in his arms, Sanzang placed it beside a stream and asked softly, "Can you speak?" If you can, tell us what is going on here. ā
A flash of horror flashed in the child's eyes, and he explained: "This place is called Guzi Village, and there are more than 200 families in total, and they have been living peacefully. Yesterday evening, a group of robbers came and robbed all the food in the village, trying to kill all the villagers here.
In the midst of the war, my parents and grandparents resisted the blade for me and pressed me to the ground, so that I escaped and survived until now. Mage, what am I going to do in the future, woo-woo-woo-woo......"
Listening to his heartbroken cry, Sanzang couldn't bear it and said, "We are ascetics who went to the West Heaven, and we can't help you much." You can only be sent to the nearest town, and you will be given a sum of gold and silver to earn a living on your own. ā
The child's eyes were red with tears, and he kowtowed and said, "I dare not forget the grace of a meal, let alone the grace of saving lives." The mage saved my life and gave me a future, and I am grateful. ā
Looking at the conversation between the two there, the white bone spirit suddenly laughed and said, "Child, how old are you?"
The child paused slightly, and said softly: "This year is seven years old." ā
"Only seven years old...... Your family's education is really extraordinary, and you can be justified at a young age. ā
Hearing the unkindness in his words, a wave of irritability swelled in the child's heart, but there was a puzzled look on his face: "What do you mean?"
The white bone spirit smiled: "It's not interesting, since you have the trust of Sanzang, then you have the qualifications to stay in the team." Rank, let's continue on the road and settle this little prodigy as soon as possible. ā
"Let's go, kid, let's go. Sanzang said.
The child looked back, tears appeared in his eyes again, and he bowed his head and said, "I beg you to help me and bury these old folks of mine, lest jackals, tigers and leopards come and eat their flesh." ā
"It's simple. Without waiting for Sanzang to speak, the white bone essence unleashed the Five Elements Domain, and the power of the earth surged wildly, and the land in the valley collapsed, and in a moment, the entire mountain village was buried in the ground.
Looking at the empty valley, the child struggled to get up, and just stood up straight, when suddenly he fell to the ground, his face turned a few points whiter, and his mouth gasped.
"Son, get on your horse. Sanzang said, helping him up.
The child said, "I had spasms in my hands and feet, and I had pain in my lower back and hips, and I couldn't sit on horseback. ā
Sanzang glanced at Sha Wujing and said, "Then how about letting him carry you on his back?"
"This master is tall and has a solid back, and I am afraid that it will hurt my flesh. ā
"And what about this one?" Sanzang pointed to the canopy.
The boy shook his head again and again, and said, "This looks like those robbers, and it makes my heart furry. ā
Although Sanzang had a strange feeling in his heart, he did not suspect the other party for these reasons, and raised his eyes to look at the white bones.
"Don't look at me, whoever likes to carry it, anyway, I don't carry it. The White Bone Spirit said unusually firmly.
The monkey grinned, his eyes glinting, "How about letting me carry it?"
