Chapter 13: Journey to the West 13
"Young people, in this land, whether you speak or do things, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, otherwise the consequences will be terrible."
An old voice came, and at some point the old woman stood behind them, beating her waist, looking a little tired.
Tang Sanqing hurriedly got up and helped the old woman sit down. The old man is old, he should live at home for a long time, and it is not better for his children and grandchildren to be around his knees, so why do they still run a teahouse here?
Zhu Yu made a cup of tea for her mother-in-law, and asked casually: "Mother-in-law, why are you doing things in the teahouse alone, why don't the family come together to help?" ”
"Alas, young man, don't be tempted, I am now left with this teahouse for the rest of my life, and that's all I can say. I beg you, you go, don't come again, let's go......"
The old woman spoke, her expression becoming more and more sad, and let the tears run across her face, wetting her clothes.
Tears are because I think of someone, and only when I try to think about someone will I cry so desperately.
Tang Sanqing had no choice but to hug Sun Shengyin and leave the teahouse with Zhu Yu, and when she stepped out of the threshold, she turned around, the old man was sitting on a wooden bench with a thin back, half of his body was hidden in the darkness, and he didn't know what kind of painful memories he had fallen into.
"Mother-in-law has already given us the biggest hint she can give......" Tsukuyu began.
Tang Sanqing looked at the bustling crowd in the market, although everyone was smiling, but the more he looked at it, the more frightening it became. Under such a peaceful and beautiful picture, how many Bai Sensen's human bones are buried, and the bloody truth.
"Our men have been scattered throughout the city, guarding the children who are still safe, but children are still missing every night. Tonight, I will guard them more carefully and seriously, and when you return to the palace, you must be careful, remember. ”
The worry in Zhu Yu's eyes was obvious, it was clear that none of them had an easy task, and their situation was not safe enough.
"No, I'm going to work with you tonight to protect these children." Tang Sanqing did not agree to return to the palace, the palace was so big and heavily guarded, the probability of encountering Lord Sha Zhan was too small, it was better to stay and protect the weak children.
"No, if you really run into the murderer, it's too dangerous." Zhu Yu refused without thinking about it, and blurted out the words of refusal, which surprised even himself. Looking at Tang Sanqing deeply, he actually put him in the position he wanted to protect in his heart.
"If the comer is a demon, how can you resist it? What's more, Ah Yin and I have subdued demons together, so we must not watch these children get killed and do nothing. Tang Sanqing didn't agree with his words, and as soon as he finished speaking, the monkey in his arms squeaked and glared angrily at Zhu Yu, as if he was angry that he underestimated them.
Zhu Yu couldn't cry or laugh, this master and servant have a lot of temperament, not to mention that Sun Shengyin is now completely an ordinary monkey, Tang Sanqing is probably weaker than half a man's strength.
What can they rely on now to subdue demons and eliminate demons? Do you rely on Tang Sanqing to use his face to win sympathy, and rely on chanting scriptures to influence bad people?
Of course, he couldn't say this in front of them, so he had to respond. With his ability, he should be able to protect them.
"Okay, you're going to Tianzhu Kingdom to learn the scriptures and purify sentient beings, I can't stop you from saving the world."
"I can't even cross myself, how can I cross others?" Tang Sanqing shook her head, her eyes were clear, she could only do what was in front of her, and she would not regret it in the future, "By the way, do you know where the quicksand river is?" ”
"I'll take you there." Zhu Yu knew Tang Sanqing's intentions, and it was not far away, so he took them over.
According to legend, the quicksand river was the place where Tang Sanzang subdued the messenger of the pure altar, Sha Wujing, with 800 quicksand and 3,000 weak water depths. In this quicksand river, the goose feathers can't float up, the bottom of the water is covered with yellow sand, the sand moves with the water, the water flows with the sand, the momentum is treacherous, and the earth is shaken.
But when I arrived at the boundary of the quicksand river, I found that the river water there was extremely clear, and as far as the eye could see, the fish frolicked, sparkling, and beautiful.
"Is this really the quicksand river?"
How is it completely different from the legend, the quicksand river in front of him is no different from the other rivers in the city, Tang Sanqing asked strangely.
Zhu Yu looked at the clear river in front of him, but in fifteen years, the situation has changed so much. If he hadn't seen this river with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that it was the original quicksand river.
"Fifteen years ago, the quicksand river was still full of yellow sand, scoop up a bowl and bring it up, half of it was yellow sand. Nothing could float on it, and anyone who wanted to cross the river couldn't, so they sank to the bottom of the river, and the rotting corpses and bones eventually turned into yellow sand. ”
"Then why is this happening now?"
"All changes are also after Sha Zhan appeared, whether he is right or evil, it is impossible to judge, but there is no doubt that he is a dangerous person."
Zhu Yu looked at the endless river with a complicated expression, and no one wanted to get out of this cage more than him. He has experienced war, famine, natural disasters, life and death...... For more than twenty years, he experienced
Too much. For the rest of his life, he just wanted to live for himself and do what he wanted.
So, he must leave the country.
Tang Sanqing's eyes turned from complicated grief to unwavering when he looked at Zhu Yu, although he seemed to be unrestrained, but these were all appearances.
He must also be burdened with a heaviness that ordinary people can't experience.
That's why his heart is so delicate, because he is always reluctant to hurt anyone.
In the evening, the wind by the river carried the moisture, slightly cool, and she hugged the thin body in her arms, absorbing the warmth of each other. Zhu Yu seemed to notice, standing diagonally in front of her, blocking out most of the cool breeze that was coming.
Sun Shengyin, who stayed in Tang Sanqing's arms, was exceptionally honest, because he saw that Tang Sanqing always rubbed his arms secretly.
Also, how can such a thin and soft arm have strength, the shoulders can't be lifted, the hands can't be held, without his protection, Sun Shengyin can't imagine what kind of things Tang Sanqing would encounter on the way to learn scriptures in the west.
However, these days of becoming a monkey were the most difficult times he had ever lived.
Obviously, he is the reincarnated descendant of the omnipotent fighting and defeating the Buddha, obviously he is the first person to meet Tang Sanqing, and he is the one who can accompany Tang Sanqing to learn scriptures from the West, Mingming......
However, now by Tang Sanqing's side is Sand Oak and Zhuyu, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to block the wind for him.
Extreme frustration welled up in Sun Shengyin's heart, he had never experienced such a powerless moment.
When he set off from Gongzhou City, he swore to his aunt that he would protect Tang Sanqing well and come back in style...... Now it seems particularly ridiculous.
Tang Sanqing could feel Sun Shengyin's depressed mood, perhaps because they were masters and apprentices, or because they had a special connection. However, Sun Shengyin never called her master.
Although I don't understand what he is thinking, I can understand what he is thinking when I hear that the ten fingers are connected to the heart, maybe holding hands.
Tang Sanqing thought like this and held his furry hand, which was much smaller than hers.
Maybe Tang Sanqing didn't realize how his actions made Sun Shengyin feel.
Tang Sanqing just looked down at the two of them with their fingers interlocked, but Sun Shengyin's heart experienced a strong impact that he had never experienced before, which was ten times stronger than the attack of demons and monsters......
The white and delicate fingers, as if the strong wind mixed with the sand, would scratch the skin.
However, at this moment, Bai Shengsheng's fingers passed between him and grabbed his palm like his heart......
