Jiang Liu'er nodded: "It's better to ask a household about the situation." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of walking in his ears, and at the end of the street, a young man appeared.

The young man was dressed as a villager, his head was wrapped in cotton cloth, he was dressed in a village uniform, he carried a backpack with an umbrella on his back, and a pair of three-eared straw sandals on his feet.

Jiang Liu'er called him and made a gesture: "Don't go, don't go, the poor monk wants to ask for a letter." ”

The young man stopped and looked at Jiang Liu'er's appearance, but pouted: "It's another pus-filled monk, go and go, I'm very busy, I don't have time to play with you!" ”

"Hey, what's the talk!"

Lingxiu was immediately annoyed, reached over and grabbed the man's arm.

With a gentle force, the man suddenly screamed in pain, as if he had been bitten by a tiger.

"Uncle spare your life, spare your life!" The man snorted in his mouth, but he didn't dare to make it again.

Jiang Liu'er shook her head: "Lingxiu, let him go, don't hurt the lives of innocent people." ”

"Humph! Next time, dare to be rude to Master! ”

Lingxiu glared at the man fiercely, and reluctantly let go of his hand.

After the man let go of his hand and took a breath, Jiang Liu'er asked, "Seeing that you are dressed like this, it doesn't look like you are approaching, and the poor monk asked, what kind of place is this?" Why do the villagers look like they don't leave home? ”

The young man was stared at by several people, and he had no choice but to say: "This is Gao Laozhuang, located on the border of Wusi Tibetan State, because most of the people in a village are surnamed Gao, so it is called Gao Laozhuang, and I am the servant of the owner of the village, Gao Taigong." Mrs. Gao, that is, my lord has a daughter, recruited a son-in-law three years ago, but I didn't expect that the son-in-law was a monster, and he locked my young lady in the backyard. The lord was displeased, so he gave me a few taels of silver, and sent me out to find the master and descend the monster. ”

"I see."

Hearing what the guy said, Jiang Liu'er and the others understood.

No wonder every family here stays at home, it turns out that there are harmful monsters, no wonder there is an inexplicable demonic aura.

"Where is that youkai? I'm going to help you bring him down! ”

Lingxiu patted her chest first and said confidently.

She hates to encounter this kind of injustice the most, if it is a monster that is harmful to people, see one and fight another!

“……”

It's just that the young man glanced at the appearance of a few people, but he hesitated.

Lingxiu's eyes glared: "What, can't you trust us?" Think we can't beat that monster? ”

The man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The masters don't know, my master has invited three or four Taoist monks, all of whom look like masters, but when they meet that monster, they will be beaten down when they look at their faces......"

"You young man has never seen the world, and you compare us to those pus-filled Taoist priests?"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Lingxiu, and the girl roared urgently: "You don't need to say more, you take us to Gao Taigong, we have our own way to help you subdue that monster!" ”

"Hmm...... Well, you guys come with me. ”

Seeing that the girl was so stubborn, the young man thought for a moment and had no choice but to nod.

The three of them followed the man through the village for a while, and came to the door of a mansion.

"Three masters, please wait a moment, I'll go in and tell the master."

The young man put Jiang Liu'er and the others outside the door, and then entered the gate.

While waiting, Lingxiu opened her mouth a little embarrassed: "Master, you don't think I'm nosy, right?" ”

Jiang Liu'er shook her head: "No, helping others is the foundation of happiness, and when you see someone in trouble, you should help, how can I blame you?" ”

"Hee-hee, I guessed Master would say that." The girl blinked, grinning, and looking happy.

“…… This female monkey loves to say good things to the master. ”

Ao Lei on the side pouted and muttered.

After waiting for a moment, the door opened again, and two people hurried out from inside.

One is a young man from before, and the other is a sixty-year-old man.

The old man wore a black silk scarf, a collar of onion and white Shu brocade, a pair of brown rice calf boots on his feet, and a black and green silk tie around his waist.

"The three masters have arrived, and the little old man has never been far away, forgive and forgive sins." As soon as the old man came out, he greeted him with a smile and bowed his hand.

"It's serious, Mrs. Gao doesn't have to be so polite."

Jiang Liu'er returned the salute and followed the old man into the gate with the two apprentices.

After entering the hall, Mrs. Gao asked a few people to sit down, and called the servants to watch the tea, which was thoughtful.

"Master, I don't think something is right here."

Ao Lei sniffed, looked around for a while, and whispered to Jiang Liu'er.

Jiang Liu'er thought for a moment, shook his head, and didn't say anything else.

After sitting down, the old man opened his mouth: "My servant said that the three masters are from the Eastern Tang Dynasty?" ”

Jiang Liu'er nodded and said: "Exactly, the poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the east of the country, and wanted to go to the west to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures, because of the fatigue of the journey, so he wanted to spend a night in Guizhuang and leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Gao Taigong frowned: "Since the three masters are borrowing, how can they say that they are taking monsters?" ”

"Spend the night, take the demon, don't delay the two, why are you old man talking so hard?" Lingxiu pursed her lips, "Don't talk nonsense, tell us the cause and effect of the matter, we are very short on time." ”

The old man's words were stagnant, and he sighed: "It's okay." ”

Then, he told Jiang Liu'er and a few people about the monsters.

After some words, several people also understood.

It turned out that this Gao Taigong had three daughters, divided into pandan, magnolia, and cuilan, and the eldest daughter and the second daughter had already been transferred and assigned to the Zhuang family. There is also a small Cuilan, Gao Taigong wants to find a son-in-law from the outer door, support the door, do errands, and live with his daughter. Just three years ago, a black-faced man came from other places, claiming to be surnamed Zhu, with no parents and no brothers, his appearance was exquisite, and he worked hard and hard, so Mrs. Gao recruited him as the son-in-law.

In the first year, the man worked quite diligently, and although he ate a lot of food, he was able to do it.

It's just that, as time goes by, the man gradually reveals his original form.

It turned out to be a monster with a long mouth and big ears, with a handful of manes on the back of its head, and it looked terrifying like a pig.

The monster will make the wind and clouds, fly sand and rocks, and make the neighbors uneasy, and the people in the village will be panicked, and they will not dare to go out in broad daylight.

That's not all, he also locked Gao Taigong's daughter Cuilan in the backyard, so that the father and daughter couldn't see each other a few times in a year and a half, let alone know how to live or die.

Gao Taigong had no choice, so he paid to invite a lot of Taoist monks outside, wanting to subdue this pig demon.

However, the pig demon was so powerful that the Taoist monks sent out were all cleaned up by him, stripped off their clothes and thrown out of the backyard, and after that, no one in the neighborhood dared to come to this Gaojiazhuang to subdue the demon.

That's probably the story.

――How does this story sound like "Journey to the West"?

Jiang Liu'er frowned, her expression a little surprised.

So far, the people and things he has encountered in this world are quite different from the stories in Journey to the West.

He also thought that the worldview had become different, and the world he was in now only had a shadow of Journey to the West, and its essence had changed drastically - the monsters in the original book simply represented villains and evil forces, and their nature was evil, but the monsters in this world showed characteristics that were completely inconsistent with them.

The most obvious point is-

Youkai are no longer pure.

At least Lingxiu, Xiaobai, and even the black bear, these monsters have their own unknown sides.

I didn't expect it......

Isn't this story a little too "normal"?

……

PS: Uh, ask for a referral vote.

It's so hard to write this kind of story to squeeze inspiration......

Of course, one pays, one gains, and the collection of 11,000 is very happy.

However, there is still a lot to be owed......
