Chapter Eighty-Four: The Golden Cicada, Found You
In the early morning of the next day, Tang Sanzang got up early as usual, packed his luggage and set off again.
Outside the village, Lao Wang, who heard the news, hurriedly brought his whole family to see him off.
"Why is the holy monk so anxious to leave, and he doesn't wait for breakfast before leaving?" Lao Wang looked at Tang Sanzang, who was dressed in a plain white monk's robe, and said.
"Amitabha, the benefactor has a good intention, but taking advantage of the cool morning, the poor monk has to hurry up a little more and arrive at the West Heaven Da Lei Yin Temple as soon as possible." After Tang Sanzang returned the salute with his palms together, he immediately stretched out his hand towards the monkey, and the monkey hurriedly handed over the coil that had been prepared in his hand long ago.
"Donor, thank you for your hospitality last night, please accept this kindness."
"This can't work, this can't work......" Lao Wang refused again and again, and said resolutely. Being able to stay with the holy monk is the fate and blessing of old age, how can you ask for the property of the holy monk? ”
"The donor is ......," Tang Sanzang smiled slightly, handed the coil in his hand to Lao Wang's hand indisputably, and said.
"This plate is a gift from several other donors, the poor monk is a monk, these yellow and white things are useless, it is better to give it to the donor, it can be regarded as a little souvenir of you and me, accept it."
"This ...... All right! Being persuaded by Tang Sanzang like this, Lao Wang didn't know how to refute the holy monk in front of him who subconsciously made people admire, so he had to reluctantly accept it.
"However, the holy monk still needs to pay attention to the situation of the Yellow Wind Ridge, if something is wrong, he can return to the old place again, at least he can rest and make plans."
Immediately, Tang Sanzang earnestly bid farewell to the old queen, and then turned over and rode westward.
After a while, Zhu Bajie, who was carrying the burden, opened his mouth and asked Tang Sanzang with a long mouth. "Master, that old man can entertain you, it is really a blessing from the previous life, why did he deliberately give him property?"
"Amitabha Buddha ......" Tang Sanzang pronounced the Buddha's name, looked at the layers of mist in the distance, and said. It is fate to be a teacher, not a beggar, and he should be returned. Besides......"
Tang Sanzang set his eyes on Zhu Bajie's body and asked. "Bajie knows, for such a remote family, how long is such a meal of food stored?"
"I don't know." Zhu Bajie replied disappreciatively.
"I don't know ...... as a teacher" Tang Sanzang, who had never experienced this kind of life, did not speculate wildly, or measured it from his own point of view, and said instead.
"However, the teacher doesn't want them to go hungry because of the reasons I am waiting for, so it is not fate, but life."
"Tsk......" Listening to Tang Sanzang's words, Zhu Bajie pouted, still muttering a little disappreciatively. I just ate two sweet potatoes old pig, what does it matter to me? ”
In the final analysis, Zhu Bajie was a high immortal in his previous life, and he was a demon king who occupied one side in this life, but it was difficult to understand the importance that those villagers attached to food.
For Zhu Bajie, who has already reached the realm of dining style and drinking dew, food is used to satisfy cravings, and he attaches importance to it but does not value it.
It is only now that Tang Sanzang, who is also an ordinary man and has to eat every meal to maintain his daily physiological needs, and Tang Sanzang, who is often hungry and full in the mountains because of his hurry, understands the importance of food.
And Tang Sanzang and his entourage, who were hurrying in the early morning, walked for about 20 miles, and then saw the mountain range in the distance on the westbound road in the distance - "Huangfeng Ridge".
It was only at this moment that Tang Sanzang suddenly understood why the mountain range that stretched for 800 miles was called "Huangfeng Ridge".
Indeed, this mountain range is really steep and deep, steep everywhere, between twists and turns, and everywhere below is a thousand feet of abyss, and from a distance, you can faintly see an unusual yellowing whirlwind winding around the entire mountain range.
If Tang Sanzang rode the white horse given by Tang Taizong at this moment, there was no doubt that the white horse that could crisscross the battlefield was estimated to be difficult to move an inch in this Huangfeng Ridge, and one accidentally took its owner to fall under the bottomless cliff.
"How? Wukong, are there monsters ahead? Tang Sanzang asked in a low voice to the monkey beside him.
And the monkey's fiery eyes also sparkled at the Yellow Wind Ridge at this moment, and then said quite solemnly. "Master, what the old man surnamed Wang said is true, this Huangfeng Ridge is indeed a miasma of black smoke and demonic energy."
"If that's the case, be careful." Tang Sanzang recalled the playful smile of the Wuchao Zen Master again, and did not dare to be careless, and secretly rolled up his sleeves a little.
The distance of ten miles was coming in an instant, and as Tang Sanzang and the others stepped into the Yellow Wind Ridge, before they could walk for a moment, a fierce tiger suddenly jumped out from the front.
"Monk, monkey! Got it! ”
The tiger spat out directly, his eyes showed joy, and before the monkey could deal with it, it jumped straight into the grass on the side, and a tiger roar suddenly sounded.
"Oh~Woo~"
"Chasing ...... Or not chasing? The monkey who was in a dilemma finally glanced at Tang Sanzang, but he still paused, not daring to stay away from Tang Sanzang.
And as the tiger roar sounded, the demon king who was waiting for news in the Yellow Wind Cave soon received a report.
"Very good, very good!" The demon king was overjoyed, and immediately put on his cloak, and while holding three steel forks and turning into a demon wind and rolling out of the Yellow Wind Cave, he ordered.
"Gather together, block that Tang Seng for this king, and don't let him run out of the eight hundred miles of Huangfeng Ridge."
Soon, under the order of the demon king, the demon soldiers and demon generals scattered to all the main roads of Huangfeng Ridge surged towards the place where the tiger roar sounded.
By the time the demon king arrived, there was already a battle below.
Hundreds of demon soldiers and demon generals pounced on Tang Sanzang and the others as if they were crazy under the order of the demon king, all kinds of weapons, all kinds of talents and supernatural powers can be described as varied.
Naturally, in the face of such a situation, the monkey and Zhu Bajie did not dare to be careless.
The majestic monkey brandished the Ruyi golden hoop stick in front to open the way for Tang Sanzang, and Zhu Bajie carried the Shangbaoqin gold palladium to guard the rear, killing those monsters that came up like a tide one by one, and there were a few or two who were able to break through to Tang Sanzang's side from the side, and they were also elegantly kicked by the white dragon horse transformed by Ao Yu, and kicked to pieces.
Fighting!
In less than a moment, a strong smell of blood rose from the Yellow Wind Ridge.
However, for those demon soldiers and demon generals who were harvested by monkeys and Zhu Bajie like mowing grass, the demon king in mid-air did not have the slightest heartache, and just stared at Tang Sanzang, who was sitting on the white dragon horse and continued to walk west without changing his face.
"Kim! Cicada! Child! Finally found you! ”
