Chapter 29: The Old Moon
Wukong suddenly opened his eyes, his whole body surging with mana, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the Ruyi Golden Hoop Rod buzzed. But then he looked at it, where is this?
It turned out that what caught his eye was the lively street where people came and went, and he was in a trance for a while, and this place was no longer in the underworld.
He only remembered that he didn't check for a while, and was slapped by the Jizo King Bodhisattva, and then he lost consciousness and fainted.
Wukong is bitter in his heart, now Zixia has not found his whereabouts, and he doesn't know where he fell, and the King of Jizo knocked me into reincarnation when I fainted?
It's not, if you enter reincarnation, where is it still the same as it is now, and the Ruyi golden hoop stick is still there, and the mana is still there.
It seems that the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth scared me, knocked me unconscious, and then sent me back to the mortal world.
Wukong was thinking blindly, and suddenly saw the crowd in front of him, he stepped forward and saw a group of people surrounding a dirty girl, the girl had a yellow complexion and was skinny.
She knelt beside the road, beside an old man with a broken leg, and saw that the old man was not breathing, and looked dead for about half a day.
There was a wooden sign next to the dirty girl, which said "Sell yourself to bury your grandfather", the word is written in a decent manner, and at first glance it is not written by the girl, it should be written with the help of a kind scholar passing by.
There are many vicissitudes in the world, this kind of thing is a common thing in the era of war and chaos, so passers-by are not surprised, and no one wants to take care of this idle matter, and no one's money is picked up on the road!
However, a blind rich young master passed by, the young man was handsome and expensively dressed, but he was blind. The blind man was pestered by a strange old man.
How strange is this old man, it turns out that it is because this old man has gray hair and looks like he is in his old age, but he is wearing a red dress, which is embroidered with a strange pattern, and it is actually a groom dress worn by husband and wife when they visit the church and get married.
The old man in the bridegroom's clothes had a brocade bag tied around his waist, and the brocade bag was full of red thread, and he took out a red thread and wrapped it around the rich blind young man, saying that he would tie it to his feet and marry him for the third generation.
The young man's entourage saw that they couldn't get rid of the strange old man in red, and they were about to fight. The blind boy couldn't bear it, so he stopped his followers.
The young man said, "How can you not pester me?"
The old man in red said:
"Simple, you tie this red thread to your own ankle, and I will go away immediately, and I will not stop you. ”
When the attendant heard this, he was furious, but the blind young man said:
"In that case, you give me the red line. ”
After speaking, the young man really took the red thread in the hand of the old man in red and tied it to his feet. Strange to say, the red thread disappeared automatically after being tied to his feet, but the boy was blind and could not see this scene.
The blind boy said, "Now I can go, a little later, the storyteller of the restaurant should finish telling the story of the ladyboy's love." ”
The old man in red said, "You can go, you can go." ”
After the old man in red finished speaking, he muttered meaningfully:
"Alas, poor little girl, the only relative in the family has died, but she can't even afford a coffin for burial, poor thing!"
After speaking, he sighed, and sure enough, he stopped pestering the blind boy and walked away.
When the blind boy heard this, he instructed his attendant to give the dirty girl some broken silver, which was not much, but it was enough for her to bury her grandfather, and she could still have a few full meals left.
This is not to say that the blind boy's entourage is stingy, but the blind boy is afraid that the girl has too much money in his hand, which will lead others to covet it, but there is danger.
The blind boy walked into the restaurant in the distance with his entourage in the kneeling thanks of the girl in dirty clothes, and after the girl saw the boy leave, she picked up her dead grandfather and staggered to the coffin shop nearby, no one saw it, and the red thread at her ankle flashed.
Sun Wukong's eyes narrowed, and he saw an invisible red silk thread connecting the direction of the girl's departure from the distant restaurant.
This old man in red, could it be that he is the old man?
Sun Wukong was shocked in his heart, and immediately chased in the direction where the old man in red left.
He was very fast, but he found that the old man in red was waiting for him in the distance, and he stopped and asked:
"Dare to ask this old man, but the old man under the moon?"
The old man in red turned pale, snorted coldly, and said:
"You are the Monkey King?"
Sun Wukong didn't understand what he meant, how could the old man in red be hostile to himself for no reason? But who is Sun Wukong, omnipotent from heaven to earth, seventy-two magical changes, holding a wishful golden hoop stick, how could he ever need to look at other people's faces.
So he said in a deep voice: "I am Sun Wukong, how are you doing?"
Who knew that as soon as the old man in red spoke, he startled Sun Wukong, only to hear him say:
"Are you looking for Zixia?"
Sun Wukong's face changed, and he asked anxiously:
"Do you know Zixia, where is she, tell me!"
The old man in red snorted coldly:
"You used to be so rude?"
Wukong gritted his teeth and bowed to the old man in red and said:
"Please also ask Shangxian to tell me where Zixia is!"
The old man in red ignored it, walked in the direction he was coming from, and said:
"You come with me!"
Sun Wukong didn't know what medicine was sold in this old man's gourd, and he didn't know if this person was the legendary old man under the moon, but since this person could know that he was looking for Zixia, it was worth taking this trip by himself.
Wukong followed the direction of the old man in red, and suddenly, Wukong stretched out his hand, and a drop of snow fell on his frizzy palm, and when he looked up, there was goose feather snow floating in the sky.
After walking dozens of steps, the whole city turned into a white snow city, and he felt strange in his heart, and he also understood that he must have fallen into an illusion.
It's just that I don't know if this illusion was created by the old man in red in front of me.
He followed the old man in red to a high-walled compound, in which there was a plum tree, and the fragrance of flowers on the tree went over the wall, and under the tree there was a young man, who was dignified in appearance, but his eyes were blind.
There is a girl not far from the plum tree, the girl strokes the long piano, and the sound of the piano is melodious and leisurely.
It was the blind boy and the dirty girl who sold herself to bury her grandfather that Sun Wukong saw before.
The old man in red said on the side: "This girl has been given silver by the young man, has buried her grandfather, and has become a young man's maid with the words of repayment in her mouth." ”
Sun Wukong and the old man in red watched the girl stop playing the piano, she walked towards the young man, and said, "Young master, Xueda, go back to the house." ”
But the girl's hand pulled out a dagger from her arms, and the dagger shone coldly, just like the cold smile on the girl's face.
Sun Wukong and the old man in red watched coldly, watching the girl walk into the boy and insert the dagger into the boy's chest, and the blind boy fell under the plum tree with a stunned face.
Blood stained the snow red.
Sun Wukong sneered: "People in the world are cold-blooded, and they will take revenge, but it is not as important as our monsters." ”
