Chapter 14: Journey to the West 14
In the middle of the night, the stars dimmed and the clouds obscured the moon's brilliance. In the silence of the streets, the doors of every house are closed, and occasionally a few dogs bark.
The Imperial City at night is very different from the Imperial City during the day, and even the air seems to have become cold and mean.
Zhu Yu had been hiding in the corner with Tang Sanqing and Sun Shengyin for a long time, but nothing had happened, as if it was another quiet and ordinary night.
Tang Sanqing squatted behind Zhu Yu, and Sun Shengyin stayed beside her, maintaining this posture for a quarter of an hour. She secretly pinched her ankle, she was so useless, but she didn't want to hold back, so she continued to grit her teeth and insist.
At this time, Sun Shengyin quietly stretched out his hand and grabbed her little thumb to show encouragement. The skin where the fingers of the two touched was warm, all the way to each other's hearts.
Tang Sanqing's eyes lit up, and his clear eyes shone brightly in the dark night, as if they were full of stars and seas. Sun Shengyin only glanced at it, then turned his head.
The longer he got along with Sun Shengyin, the more Tang Sanqing understood him as a person, with a cold face and a hot heart, doing good things in his hands, but saying bad things in his mouth.
Tang Sanqing's heart was sweet, and he didn't feel hard.
Suddenly, Zhuyu's brother ran over, this person is five big and three thick, strong as an ox, with such a nervous and dignified expression, something must have happened.
"Ah Yu, come and help, there's a situation over there!"
Zhu Yu immediately stood up and rushed in the direction that the man was pointing, and in the blink of an eye, he had already run a short distance, but he hurried back and came to Tang Sanqing, who was standing in place rubbing his legs, and said.
"You and Sun Shengyin stay where they are, don't come with you, don't go anywhere, don't go with anyone, you must wait for me to come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed away, and his figure disappeared into the dark night in an instant.
"You have to be careful......"
Tang Sanqing's words finally dissipated in the wind, and I don't know if he could hear it in the end.
She pounded her legs in frustration, because her legs were numb from squancing for too long, and she really couldn't walk, otherwise she would definitely have to follow.
She can understand Zhuyu's worries about her brothers and innocent children, and she just hopes that they will be safe.
After a while, her legs stopped numb, but the wind picked up.
The wind was blowing in the direction of Zhu Yu's departure, Tang Sanqing could vaguely smell the smell of blood in the air, and Sun Shengyin also had a solemn face. His nose is more sensitive, and something bad must be going on ahead.
Tang Sanqing couldn't wait any longer, picked up Sun Shengyin and ran in the direction where Zhu Yu left.
The night was too dark, she had no excellent night vision, and she did not have sufficient physical strength, so she stumbled along the way and fell down several times.
Again, she tripped over a stone and fell to the ground, protecting Sun Shengyin, only to hit the ground with her face first. When she sat up, she found that the mask given to her by Sun Shengyin was broken in half, her eyes hurt slightly, and her hand was bleeding a little when she touched it.
"I'm sorry, Ah Yin, I'm so useless."
Sun Shengyin was squeaking anxiously beside him, and he saw Tang Sanqing take the two halves of the mask into his arms, pick him up, and continue to run forward.
He could hear Tang Sanqing's heartbeat like a drumbeat, his wheezing sound was getting louder and louder, his slender neck was covered with dense fine sweat, and the fragrance on the tip of his nose was getting stronger and stronger.
Raising his head, Sun Shengyin's eyes could only fit into that incomparably beautiful face, which became more and more beautiful in the night, and the traces of scarlet at the end of his eyes were like a proud and independent red plum in the snow, and it was extremely demonic......
It was also at this moment that he discovered that Tang Sanqing, who he had thought was soft and cowardly like a silk flower, was becoming more and more powerful and tenacious.
Tang Sanqing is not a canary raised in a golden wire cage, let alone a flower in a flower garden that can't withstand the wind and rain......
Tang Sanqing walked through the dark alleys, his vision suddenly became broader, and the first thing that caught his eye was the injured pirate brothers all over the ground.
The consequences of running fast are dizziness, constant tinnitus in the ears, and the crying of children.
Tang Sanqing looked at the ghost-like figure in front of him surrounding Zhu Yu, fortunately, Zhu Yu was only slightly injured.
Zhu Yu's punches are fast and powerful, and his martial arts are not at all in line with his elegant and dusty appearance, and his moves are at the fatal point.
However, those dark shadows who don't know whether they are humans or ghosts react quickly, and they are not at all a level that ordinary people can reach, and Zhu Yu is at a disadvantage.
Seeing that he had received several rounds of attacks in a row, Tang Sanqing put down Sun Shengyin, brushed away Sun Shengyin's fingers that were clutching the placket of his clothes, and ran forward.
Another fierce air punch hit Tsukuyu's chest, and he retreated again and again.
Immediately afterwards, another black shadow met him, and the final blow was like a bamboo, and it was a thousand shots.
Attacking back and forth, Zhu Yu could not avoid it, so he had to close his eyes and accept this attack.
At that moment, the brain was running rapidly, and the memories of the past passed in front of him one by one like a marquee, and finally what he stopped was the scene where he said to the masked boy "Wait for me to come back".
"Don't!"
An urgent cry pierced the night.
Zhu Yu opened his eyes, and the weak body in front of him turned out to be Tang Sanqing.
If it was him, there might be a chance to survive next, but if it was Tang Sanqing, he would definitely die!
At that moment, the ghostly black shadow that came and went without a trace suddenly stopped for a moment, and endless power surged from Tsukuyu's chest, and his heart beat violently, emitting a scorching magma-like energy, which was transmitted to the limbs and hundreds of bones in an instant.
The power spontaneously surged into his right hand, and the green tendons glowing with blue light burst out, and suddenly appeared in his mind, forged from divine iron, and polished into a bright and clean light, like a nail rake with the appearance of a nine-foot spiritual weapon.
Zhu Yu didn't know why he blurted out, and shouted as if he was out of control: "Shangbao Qin Jin Rake!" ”
In the next second, the spirit weapon appeared in his hand, and Zhu Yu struck hard with his senses, and a huge light was launched from the golden rake, enveloping him and Tang Sanqing.
The black shadow dissipated into the light, turning into points of light, leaving nothing behind.
Zhu Yu protected Tang Sanqing behind him, and the other black shadows around him were a little overwhelmed, as if they were afraid of his strength. Eventually, they turned into a puff of black smoke that enveloped the trapped children and galloped away like the wind.
Zhu Yu hurriedly chased after him, Tang Sanqing couldn't rest assured, picked up Sun Shengyin, who had been protecting him at his feet, and also followed.
She ran slowly, and the speed of Zhuyu, who had special abilities, was even faster, and she could only rely on the direction Sun Shengyin pointed out to her, and kept running.
It turned out that Zhu Yu was the reincarnation of the Pure Altar Messenger, and he had always been by her side, so it was clear that she also had some special feelings for him.
However, she never thought that she would associate such a handsome and personable Zhuyu with the legendary Zhu Bajie.
Whether as a friend or as a companion to the west, she doesn't want Zhu Yu to be hurt, she just hopes that he and the children must be safe.
When Tang Sanqing finally saw Zhu Yu's figure, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
