After happily deciding where the monks would go, the group was ready to continue westward. At this juncture, Guanyin, who had been watching from the side, gritted his teeth, and finally decided not to come out...... It's better if she didn't come.

After leaving the country of Che Chi, Zhu Bajie realized that the old man of the king didn't leave them to eat a single meal, he didn't know etiquette.

Touching his dry and flat belly, Zhu Bajie muttered: "That emperor doesn't know etiquette, doesn't he know that Fairy Ai Yue will be hungry after being busy for so long?" ”

Ai Yue glanced at Zhu Bajie and said, "Originally, I was going to arrange a meal, but I refused." The king was really good to her wife, and she had to accompany her when she ate. I don't know why the king doesn't want us to meet the queen, but if we stay for dinner, the king won't be able to accompany his queen, so we'd better leave with interest......"

Zhu Bajie muttered a few words, and then stopped complaining, looking at the desolate scenery around him, thinking that that small country is actually such a city to see, and the others are not called cities at all, they are deserts, right? It is not uncommon for such places not to rain.

In this way, the few people continued to walk west for several days, hurrying during the day and returning to the cave to rest at night, but they were not so haggard. Although the speed of Tianma was despised by the brave people in the Brave Continent at the beginning, Tang Seng was very satisfied with riding and walking, Tianma was hard-working and walked very steadily, and he could walk about a thousand miles a day, this is a sturdy thousand miles away. As a native of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Seng felt that this speed could not be more satisfactory.

Riding horses during the day, resting in the Zen monastery of the cave at night, eating delicious fruits that can restore energy, and drinking sweet mountain spring water, although Tang Seng has always been a delicate and frail monk when he was in the temple, so he has not changed anything along the way, but he has tanned a little bit, but he is more energetic than before. Where is this asceticism. It's just an outing, right?

This time, Che Chiguo is not a difficult problem at all. When Guanyin was biting a small handkerchief and secretly annoyed, a real catastrophe was waiting for Ai Yue and his party on the road......

In other words, after Ai Yue woke up at breakfast that day, she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She could only follow the team forward in a depressed way. This can make the protector of the heart of Egger too anxious. I can't wait to ask why, and then talk about life with the person who makes my majesty unhappy......

However, Ai Yue, who usually likes to talk very much, was reluctant to speak for a while, and she looked at the clear sky depressedly. I feel my eyelids keep beating, and I really don't know what bad things are going to happen to have such a big reaction?

Not far away, a small village is visible on the horizon. Seeing the different scenery in the distance, Egger thought that maybe a different environment would make his majesty feel better, so he hurriedly beckoned everyone to hurry up, and within half an hour, he arrived at the door of the small village......

On this day, the weather was fine, but since they stepped into a small village not far away, the weather suddenly changed. Everyone's brows furrowed, but Ai Yue suddenly brightened! It turned out that this was the reason, in vain what she thought was going to happen to something big!

This feeling must be - time and space portal! She hadn't seen that time-space passage in the netherworld for a long time, and she had to think that there was no zài. As a result, I saw it again in this distant place, and this feeling was greater than any other time, could it be that this time it was an advanced space-time channel? Ai Yue saw the closed doors and windows of every house, and the detective's psychology attacked again......

"Here, it's unusual." Ai Yue said seriously, "In broad daylight, every house closes its doors and windows, and the weather is good, but as soon as I enter the village, it becomes gloomy. This qiē all indicates...... Egger, what do you think? ”

The corners of the others' mouths twitched, and they said, "Your Majesty, you're right." "It's all because Di Renjie actually played this kind of game, and His Majesty learned badly......

Ai Yue didn't see Egg's entanglement, she frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Since that's the case, then we still have to investigate one or two in order to find conclusive evidence." ”

What do you do when you find evidence?! Don't be kidding, okay, dear, we passed by here to learn from the West, and we didn't want to solve the case at all, okay?

Tang Seng admired Ai Yue's character who was not afraid of things, and when he heard that Ai Yue wanted to investigate one or two, he agreed: "Naturally, Bajie, you go and ask the people here, what happened?" ”

Zhu Bajie secretly rolled his eyes and said, "Master, a place with a local customs, maybe this place just likes to stay at home in broad daylight?" The old pig is not good-looking, this look to call the door, isn't it thought to be a monster, in case of frightening, we have to compensate the other party for the cost of shock, isn't it very cost-effective? ”

"Bajie is indeed ugly...... Tang Seng nodded matter-of-factly, and said truthfully, "It's not good if you scare people, Ai Yue Fairy, or the poor monk go and call the door." ”

"Master, you go and call the door, what if the people here are not human but bad monsters? Wouldn't that be dangerous? Liu'er hurriedly said, "Otherwise, the disciple will go and call the door, the disciple can change into the appearance of an adult, and this will change into the appearance of a little novice, and it will definitely not scare people to call the door." ”

Tang Seng nodded with satisfaction, Bajie on the side was a little embarrassed, he scratched his head and said: "Liu'er, you are so diligent, but it seems that I am not authentic...... I will do the things that change, so I won't bother you. ”

After speaking, Zhu Bajie changed into a fat-headed and big-eared monk in a hurry, and then hurriedly knocked on the nearest household: "Donor, donor, please open the door......"

After a long while, the door was opened a small crack, and an old voice sounded: "Dare to ask, but are you outside?" ”

This question is a good question, Zhu Bajie is used to sharp teeth, and when he suddenly heard such a strange question, he didn't know what to answer for a while, but as soon as he hesitated, the small crack that opened was locked up.

Zhu Bajie felt quite inexplicable, he knocked on the door again, this time the knock was louder, and while knocking on the door, he also shouted 'open the door', 'open the door'......

After a while, the door was opened, and this time, the old man just now directly opened the door wide, and said: "You evil goblin, the old man doesn't want to live anymore when he is old, so you can eat the old man!" ”

The corners of Zhu Bajie's mouth twitched, and when he was about to talk, he was stopped by Tang Seng with a look. Tang Seng hurriedly comforted: "This old benefactor, the poor monk and his party are from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and they are going to the West to learn scriptures. Passing through this place, seeing the strange sky, you will take the liberty to disturb the old man, and please don't blame the old man. ”

Tang Seng's appearance is excellent, and it makes people want to trust it when they look at it. The old man glanced at Tang Seng, his dizzy old eyes lit up, and said, "So that's the case, no wonder you can come here...... The little old man dreamed of the Bodhisattva last night, and the Bodhisattva said that there was a noble person visiting today, otherwise he would give the little old man ten dares, and the little old man would not dare to open the door to strangers. ”

Dreaming of a bodhisattva? Isn't this going to be ...... Several other people exchanged glances, and felt that the Bodhisattva was really omnipresent, and it was simply ...... Hey, I don't know what to complain about. Not only Ai Yue and the others felt helpless, but when they heard the old man say this, even Tang Seng himself paused, and the tension in his heart was gone......

Although the bodhisattva likes to cause them some trouble, he is still measured, and if it can cause casualties, the bodhisattva still does not do it.

The others breathed a sigh of relief, but Ai Yue frowned, and she took the initiative to ask, "This old man, what happened here?" Why do you close the door in broad daylight? ”

The old man sighed and said, "Hey, you don't know anything about this...... ...... at the beginning"

"Old man, what are you doing with the door open? Don't you want to die? A short old lady trembled and said, "Guests, come in quickly, or you will be taken away and eaten by the monster......"

Although the people were puzzled, they obediently followed them into the house.

The old man's house looked very poor, the furniture was dilapidated, the walls were so dusty that the skin was peeling off quickly, and the hot rice soup on the stove looked as clear as white water......

Seeing such a situation, Tang Seng's eyes were red: "Old man, your life is really not easy...... But what about the high taxes in this place? ”

"Don't talk nonsense! The village chief of this village is a good person, Xiao Lao'er, the young and middle-aged people of this village have been conscripted into the army, some time ago, I don't know what's going on, it hasn't rained for a long time in Che Chiguo, so it's going to start a war, and the young and middle-aged people in this village have been taken away, leaving only us old and weak here. The village chief and us can live on weekdays by eating the accumulated grain and sweet potatoes grown in the field...... It's just that the good times didn't last long, and I don't know what happened, and a small dirt hill behind our village suddenly turned into a deep pit, as if it happened overnight......"

"That pit can't see the bottom, it seems to be a bottomless pit, and everyone should look at it as a strange thing, but who knows what the result is...... This is the beginning of the end of our village......" The old lady with the tea on the side put down the tray in her hand, wiped her tears with her cuffs, and told the story...... (To be continued......)
