So in the recent past.

I'm just waiting here, waiting, waiting.

When I saw someone passing by, I opened my mouth and asked, is it a scripture learner?

Same as before.

Say no, just kill and eat.

If yes, take off your hat and look inside.

It's not a bald head, and it's just killed.

These people......

obviously has beautiful black hair, but he insists that he is a learner.

Isn't that?

So just kill and eat.

But......

It's been days.

Hasn't this scripture monk passed by yet?

Or is it that he has accidentally eaten the monk who learned the scriptures again.

...... I thought so in my heart.

Make up your mind.

If you encounter a passerby again, you must inquire clearly whether it is a monk who learns from the scriptures.

You can't make any more mistakes.

At this time.

Suddenly, I saw it.

In front of me, in the dry sand, a group of people walked.

There are five in total.

Wow.

Finally here.

The quicksand river demon got excited.

Not to mention the people who learn from the scriptures.

In the last few days, I haven't eaten many people.

I'm so hungry.

Seeing, these people are getting closer and closer, closer and closer.

After seeing clearly.

Shocked.

This Nima ......

All of these people are bald!

Also, there are moles all over the head!

Could it be ......

Is this the person who learns the scriptures?

The river demon got excited.

Jump out.

came to these five people.

...... Seeing this river demon, it suddenly appeared.

A tall and mighty body, black arms and chest, and a ring of hair on top of his head, except for the empty middle.

Holding a crescent spatula in his hand.

There is a necklace around his neck, but when he looks closely, it is made up of nine skulls.

Subconsciously.

Five passers-by were directly frightened.

The body couldn't help but tremble.

Trembling.

In the face of such a frightened monster, how can you not be afraid.

But.

Remember what the officials said before the city gates.

Mantras taught by mages.

'I am a monk from the east, and I was ordered by the Tang Emperor to go to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures. ’

Immediately read it out.

Soon, all five of them read it out.

The river demon was startled.

This girl, has she indeed met someone who has learned from the scriptures?

It's a bit strange to look at, though.

But it was bareheaded, and there were a few moles.

"Then may I ask, which of you is Xuanzang?"

"I want to worship him as a teacher, and follow him to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures. ”

The river demon said.

At the same time knelt down.

The five were shocked.

You look at me, I look at you.

Apparently they were all in a hurry.

Before, the official didn't explain this at all.

What if the river demon asks?

So.

One by one, they were terrified.

Don't know how to recover.

Even.

Hand in hand with each other.

The body trembled.

The air was quiet for a moment.

This river demon is still kneeling.

Motionless.

Five passers-by saw this.

Suddenly, one of them went to the side.

Other passers-by who followed closely followed also walked out.

The river demon was surprised.

Is this not accepting oneself as a disciple?

How does this work?

Immediately took a few steps forward.

Come to these five people.

Kneeling down again.

"Please take me as an apprentice!"

Five people again, you look at me, I look at you.

Ignore him.

Keep walking.

The river demon saw this.

Continue a few steps ahead.

Stop them.

Get down on your knees again.

"Please take me as an apprentice!"

Five people are really incomprehensible.

Don't know what to do.

One of them.

Suddenly I thought of something!

Could this be the Archmage's trick?

As long as he says this, this river demon can only kneel down and reply to this sentence 'Please accept me as an apprentice'?

In this way, they will not be killed?

Right!

It must be so!

Otherwise!

Why they say this after that.

This river demon only knows how to kneel, but not to move?

Come to think of it.

The five of them, decisively, continued to walk.

Even—

Pose with a look of disrespect to the six relatives.

Swaggering to the front.

And behind this river demon.

Look up every now and then.

Witnessing this scene, I was overwhelmed.

Why didn't Master Xuanzang accept himself?

Did you do something wrong?

It shouldn't be.

Or is it that his appearance is too scary, and he has taken the scriptures away?

One way or another.

You have to apprentice!

Otherwise, the Jade Emperor's task will not be completed.

But......

No matter how you bow down and how you pray.

These five bald monks didn't care about it.

Keep walking ahead.

Finally!

The river demon is furious!

Yas.

After hundreds of years of prestige here, who would dare not obey?

If you don't obey, you eat it directly!

I have bowed down so many times, and I am still indifferent.

And so.

Raise the crescent spatula in your hand.

I was about to swing it over.

Put these monks who anger themselves.

Chop the corpse to pieces.

And then eaten alive.

But......

When about to be chopped.

Just listen to this monk, come to a sentence:

"I am a monk from the east, and I was ordered by the Tang Emperor to go to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures. ”

The air was suddenly quiet.

The quicksand river demon suddenly stopped.

There are many thoughts.

Yes, this is a monk from the East who learned the scriptures.

How can you kill it!

If it is killed, the task ordered by the Jade Emperor will not be a complete failure!

And so.

I could only hurriedly restrain my strength.

Meantime.

These five 'monks', seeing this scene, turned around from their fright

It seems that this 'spell' still works.

Just a few words, this is about to cut his own crescent shovel, and it stops.

The body of the river demon also froze.

See this.

The five of them quickly turned around.

Running into the distance.

The quicksand river demon has been following behind.

Repeatedly begging these five 'monks'.

But the five 'monks' didn't care, they just ran forward.

Until completely leaving the quicksand river.

The river demon stopped.

Originally, I wanted to continue chasing out.

But.

The river demon suddenly realized.

Judging from the current situation, even if you keep chasing it out, it won't work.

These five 'monks' were scared by themselves.

As if he was going to eat them.

That's better than ......

Back into the quicksand river.

Wait quietly.

When the Jade Emperor saw this scene, he specified that he would find a way for himself.

So.

Let's go back first.

Not for a while.

It was back on the edge of the quicksand river.

......

At this time.

Outside the county seat, the people standing on the city tower saw this scene.

"This spell really works!"

"This mage, he didn't lie to us!"

"These five people, let's go!"

"Let's go, let's try too!"

When the people saw it, they were happy.

I really thought that 'I am a monk from the east, and I was ordered by the Tang Emperor to go to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures' is a mantra.

can make this river demon keep kneeling.

Even if you want to swing your weapon to attack.

However, hurriedly reciting the spell can also make the opponent stop attacking.

That's good.

In groups, they continued to walk out of the city.

...... The quicksand river demon at this time.

Back to the quicksand river, I was thinking about how to ask the Jade Emperor.

Suddenly, I saw it.

From the gates of the city in the distance.

Another group of people came.

It's all ......

Bareheaded.

There is also a mole on his head.

This......

Are they all monks?
