Chapter 21: Cuilan actually likes Bajie
Not long after walking west with Sun Wukong, I crossed a stone bridge, a path lined with poplar street trees,
And not far from there, a manor looms over there, full of popularity.
Tang Peng suddenly perked up, and finally saw the figure, if he guessed correctly, it was Gao Laozhuang in front.
Tang Peng's first thought was that he didn't know what happened to Zhu Bajie, whether he had arrested Gao Cuilan.
"Wukong, are you going to ask for directions?" Tang Peng said to Sun Wukong, who was humming "Brother Monkey".
During this time, Sun Wukong hummed Tang Peng's monkey brother who taught him to sing "Brother Monkey", which made his ears devastated.
Singing and singing, Sun Wukong is particularly obsessed with those lyrics "I miss you wherever there is trouble, I have a brother wherever there is danger, I have experienced a hundred battles to take the lead, punish evil and promote kindness like a Buddha, your good name is passed on by thousands of people, and your story is told by thousands of families", often singing distractedly.
The more he sings, the more excited Sun Wukong becomes, although he is a demon, he also hopes that heaven and earth will spread his own legends.
"Stop singing, this Gao Laozhuang has a demon for you!" Tang Peng said lightly, Tang Peng really couldn't stand it.
"Eh, master, how do you know?" Sun Wukong also looked at Tang Peng with some doubts.
"Because I'm your master."
Suddenly, a young man walked out from a distance, this young man was sweating profusely, wearing a felt hat on his head, wearing a man's suit, carrying a bag, a rope around his waist, and his pants were tied together, looking ready to travel far away.
"Huh? Master, there's someone up ahead. Wukong said to Tang Peng.
Suddenly, Sun Wukong shrank into inches, became disillusioned one step at a time, and rushed to the young man in a flash.
Tang Peng hurriedly rode the white dragon horse to follow.
"Youkai...... You... Don't come here! The screams of horror came from the front and reached Tang Peng's ears.
Soon, Tang Peng stepped forward and saw that the young man was so frightened by Sun Wukong that he couldn't speak clearly.
"Help......"
"Help......"
The boy trembled his legs and tried to escape, but every time Sun Wukong would suddenly appear in front of him, and he couldn't even climb up, almost scaring him into fainting.
"Hahahaha......"
Sun Wukong laughed, for Mao mortals are afraid of him: "Don't be afraid, we are good people, not harmful monsters." ”
"I'll go ......" and said that it's not a monster, you are obviously a monkey, but you can speak, this is not a monster. The boy said in fear.
"Elder, save ......" The young man saw Tang Peng next to him, only to see Tang Peng's eyebrows and eyes, his eyebrows and kind eyes, and he was dressed as a monk, so he hurriedly called him for help.
Tang Peng and Yan Yue said: "Your name is Gao Cai, right?"
Take me to your village, we will help you get rid of the pig demon. ”
"What kind of talent, my name is Laifu, and I am a member of the Gao family.
"Amitabha." Tang Peng leisurely pronounced a Buddha name, and then said solemnly: "Lao Guan saw that your Yin Hall was black, and the top of your head was black, so you must have met a monster." ”
The young man's face suddenly changed, and he left Sun Wukong in fear and came to Tang Peng's side.
"Is that monster fat, big-eared, and pig-nosed?" Tang Peng asked with a smile.
The young man asked Yan The young man was immediately deflated, thinking that he had met a master, but it turned out to be a charlatan, so he said: "No! ”
"What? No, isn't it true that Zhu Bajie hasn't changed yet. Tang Peng guessed this possibility.
"Lao Ke came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, went to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and learn scriptures, donor, if there is any difficulty, Lao Qu can help you solve it." Tang Peng said.
The young man on the side looked hesitant, but he still said, "I don't know if you can take a demon, mage?" ”
"Take the demon?" Tang Peng looked at Laifu suspiciously, didn't he just say that there were no monsters? Why are there youkai again? Said: "Oh, what monsters do you have in this manor?" Please also tell the donor about the ins and outs of this. ”
The young man recalled: "I was originally the family of Gao Laozhuang Gao Taigong, named Gao Laifu, my lord is a big local family, the family is rich, there is a daughter, 20 years old, never married.
Three years ago, a foreigner came to the manor as a buddy, borrowed to live in the grandfather's house, the young lady fell in love at first sight, he did not marry, so the high lady had no choice, so he wanted to recruit the young man as a son-in-law. Mrs. Gao asked me to look for capable people, but that person refused to live or die, saying that the shemale had a different way, so that my young lady would cry and die."
Tang Peng listened to the words of the young man, and the more he listened, the more mysterious he became, and he stood a little speechless.
"Gao Cuilan fell in love at first sight? …… I'm a pig, I don't read much, you shouldn't be lying to me......"
At this moment, Tang Peng's whole person was depressed, and he scolded in his heart, how many versions of this Journey to the West are?
After being speechless for a long time, Tang Peng decided to go to Gao Laozhuang with this lucky boy to see Mrs. Gao and find out.
Laifu Xun visited all kinds of masters to take the white young man to no avail, so he had to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and while leading the way, he said: "If the master of Dongtu can definitely subdue the demons, my old lady will be grateful!" ”
Sun Wukong was also interested and followed.
Laifu returned along the road, familiar with the road, walked quickly, led Sun Wukong and Tang Peng through the crowd of people on the street, and stopped at the gate of a manor with brilliant decoration, around the steps of the gate, there are two stone lions placed, and there are copper nails all over the Zhu Gate.
Laifu will open the door of the village, turn his head and say, "Master, you two and wait here for a while, let me tell the old lady Gao first." ”
Tang Peng said yes.
I saw that Na Laifu entered the hall immediately, walked into the hall along the flat bluestone paved road, and saw the old lady Gao who was sitting high but with a sad face.
The old lady Gao was kind and kind-eyed, wearing a luxurious silk brocade robe, staring at the carved black boots, wearing a jade belt around her waist, she was over seventy years old, but she didn't see the old man, and it was vaguely obvious how handsome she was when she was young, Tang Peng thought to himself that this product must have been a good thing when he was young!
At this time, he was sitting on the high chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, and realized that Laifu had come back so soon, and slapped his palm on the precious rosewood table next to him, and Fufu scolded a bloody dog: "You guy who knows how to eat dry rice, I didn't ask you to find the archmage before, why did you come back so quickly?" ”
Laifu said stupidly: "Master, not long after the kid went out just now, he met a white monk and a monkey who could speak on the side of the stone bridge......
"Okay, you, this monster hasn't been captured yet, you brought another one." As soon as the old lady Gao heard the monkey who could speak human language, she was immediately angry and screamed.
"The monk said that he was a Buddha seeker from the Tang Dynasty in the East and the West, and after I told him about the monster one by one, he said that he could help us hold the monster." When Laifu heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head and said.
Gao Taigong's face gradually calmed down when he heard this, and said, "A monk from Dongtu? Dongtu is thousands of rivers and mountains away from here, and it is a pure land on earth, maybe he really has some ability, where is he? ”
Laifu said: "The two are waiting outside the door. ”
Old lady Gao quickly ran to the outside of the house, and as soon as Fang pushed open the vermilion lacquer door, he saw the appearance of Sun Wukong's hairy face and Lei Gongzui, and Gao Taigong hurriedly closed the door and did not dare to come out.
Sun Wukong pouted unhappily.
Tang Peng knew that Gao Taigong was afraid, so he stepped forward and shouted through the door: "Master Gao, we are good people, not monsters, although my disciple looks a little unworldly, but he is a good person." ”
When Mrs. Gao heard this, he shuddered, hesitated to crack a crack in the door, and saw Tang Peng's delicate eyebrows and a kind smile, so he opened the door and invited Tang Peng and Sun Wukong to enter the door.
Old lady Gao led the master and apprentice into the hall to sit down, made two pots of good tea, and then looked at the two of them and said, "I was offended by the old man just now, and I hope that the two elders Haihan." ”
Tang Peng didn't care, but directly asked Old Lady Gao to catch demons.
"Our village has been quiet and harmonious since ancient times, and there has never been a supernatural incident of demons and monsters.
It's just that the old man has no children under his knees, and only a little daughter Cuilan is at the age of getting married in the mood for love, and she wants to recruit a son-in-law, inherit the family business, and multiply. ”
"Unexpectedly, three years ago, there was a handsome young man, he said that he was from Fuling Mountain, surnamed Pig, his family was miserable, his relatives had left, and he wanted to work in my house as an errand boy to beg for a living. When I saw that he was pitiful and helpless, I kept him as a companion. ”
"He worked hard and was very diligent, picking up dung and pulling carts, plowing cattle and planting grain, but he ate more and everything else was perfect. And he is very pleasing to the little girl, and often makes her happy, so the old man moved the idea of accepting him as a son-in-law, and Cuilan was also full of spring and agreed...... But he told me that the shemale had a different path, and he just came to report it, and he would forgive him. ”
"He has a scholarly temperament, his appearance is handsome and extraordinary, he is a powder-faced student, but he has the strength of a big man, can lift a thousand catties, and has the courage of ten thousand people, but the little girl Cuilan fell in love with him at first sight, since he was ruthlessly refused, he was depressed all day long, locked himself in the door, and suffered from lovesickness.
"I thought she would be fine for a while, but she is still like this, and since the neighbors and villagers know that he admits that he is a monster, saying that my Gao family harbors monsters, which makes my Gao family's reputation ruined, and when I am helpless, I want to ask a mage to subdue him and return my Gao Lao Zhuang Qingjing."
After listening to Gao Taigong's explanation, Tang Pengsen's face was full of incredulity.
"Won't you...... Zhu Bajie also has a scholarly temperament and a warrior demeanor, you tease me so much, he is obviously a pig and a pig...... So how could Gao Cuilan like a pig? ”
Seeing Tang Peng's frightened expression, Old Lady Gao thought that Tang Peng was afraid, so he said, "This Dongtu Elder, can you really suppress that demon?" ”
"Do you want to prove it?" Tang Peng asked, moving his muscles and bones.
"Can you prove it? If the mage really has supernatural powers, then quickly prove it, as long as the mage can really subdue that monster, the old man will definitely give him a heavy thanks. Old lady Gao said tentatively.
When Tang Peng heard this, the corners of his mouth showed a slight arc, and then he shouted violently, took a few steps, tapped the wall a few times, and slid out of the hall like a light swallow, ran to a clearing in the manor, and slapped the big tree next to him with a blazing palm: "Thunder and lightning technique"
"Snort.
A bolt of lightning shot towards the tree, lingering in an instant.
Suddenly, the tree fell and turned into a cloud of ashes.
"Wow, that's amazing." Old Lady Gao looked at all this dumbfounded, and the eyes that looked at Tang Peng became a little different, with a stronger sense of awe than before.
"Is that okay?" Tang Peng said with a smile.
"Master, please come in, please come in." Old lady Gao smiled from ear to ear, now the Gao family is saved.
