That night, more than a dozen black shadows sneakily came to the backyard with firewood and quietly piled firewood around the wings.

These guys were determined to kill the people in the house, so they brought a lot of firewood and soaked oil into the firewood.

Once you burn it up, it's out of control.

But these guys never expected that their movements had already been seen clearly, and they thought they were doing something unknown and unaware.

When the firewood was finished, the group scattered around and lit the fire at the same time.

Ignited it and quickly left.

Because they believed that the people in the house had already fallen asleep, and by the time they were awakened, the fire was out of control and could only be burned alive in the house.

The weather was already dry, and the firewood was poured with oil, and the fire ignited at a moment's notice.

At this time, Tang Seng was sleeping soundly.

According to the original plot, it was Sun Wukong who ran away and went to the sky to borrow a fire shelter.

But this time it was not needed, because Gu Ming could control the fire, and the effect was better than that of the fire shelter.

Seeing the flames soaring into the sky, Sun Wukong couldn't help but say indignantly: "It's a shame that this is still Guanyin Temple, I didn't expect these monks to be so ruthless." ”

Gu Ming smiled and said, "In essence, monks are also human beings, and if they are human beings, they have greedy thoughts and evil thoughts. So, it depends on whether a person can control his greed and evil thoughts.

This is precisely the reason why your master is reluctant to take out his robe for public display.

His wish is very good, may the world be beautiful, everyone will have food, everyone will have clothing, and everyone will be kind......

However, good and evil are relative, and if there is no evil, how can there be good?

Everything in the world, heaven and earth, yang and yang, have positive and negative sides, this is the law of heaven and earth, and no one can change it, including the gods.

If it is really forcibly reversed, then ...... Heaven and earth will cease to exist......"

"No, my grandson can't cheapen these guys, and if they want to burn us, then let them eat the consequences."

Sun Wukong is not a good stubble, and he still has a strong sense of revenge.

At the moment, I opened my mouth and blew ......

"Hoo ......"

A strange wind blew in the courtyard.

In an instant, the wind fueled the fire, and the flames began to scurry......

"Oh no, no, the east wing is on fire......"

"The West Wing is also on fire......"

The monks in the temple originally intended to burn only the row of old houses where Gu Ming and his party were staying in the backyard, but they didn't know that the strange wind was together, and they actually led the nearby wings.

Most of the buildings in the courtyard are connected, and now they are all right, one by one, and the monks are so anxious that they quickly fetch water to extinguish the fire.

Unfortunately, the fire was so hard that they couldn't put it out.

The firelight reflected half the sky.

Not far from the temple, there is a mountain called Black Wind Mountain.

There is a monster in the mountains, it is a black bear spirit.

To say that this black bear essence can be regarded as a person who wants to achieve positive results, and often has contacts with the abbot of the temple on weekdays, and talks about Zen with him.

The reason why the abbot was able to live to be more than two hundred years old is not unrelated to the black bear spirit.

Because this black bear essence has two friends, one of them is named Ling Xuozi, who is good at alchemy, and he also sends some pills to the black bear essence on weekdays.

The black bear spirit borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha, and also gave some to the abbot, so the abbot can live a long life.

"The king, the king, there seems to be a fire on the temple side......

A little demon hurried into the cave to report it.

"Oh? I'll take a look. ”

After all, the black bear spirit had a relationship with the abbot, so he walked out of the cave and looked, and the place where the fire caught fire was indeed in the direction of the temple.

"That's it, I always have some friendship with the master of the courtyard, so I'll go and help him."

So, the black bear spirit flew to the temple to help put out the fire.

As a result, when he flew over the temple, he found that there was a faint glow in the abbot's meditation room, and he was curious and went to the window to take a look......

By this time, the abbot had fallen asleep in his robe.

Although the temple was on fire, none of the people dared to report it, for fear of being scolded.

When the black bear spirit looked at the robe, he couldn't help but be taken aback......

This guy is a knowledgeable person, and he can see at a glance that this robe is a good treasure, and he immediately becomes greedy.

So, he immediately used magic to take the robe into his hand, and then quietly returned to the cave.

Early the next morning, Ling Xuzi came to the cave with another goblin, preparing to celebrate the birthday of the black bear spirit.

The black bear was proud, took out his robe and showed off, saying that this birthday was going to be more special, and he invited some friends to hold a Buddha dress party.

On the other side, the monastery has been blown up......

The abbot woke up and found that the robe was missing...... When I walked out of the meditation room again, the temple was a scorched earth, the residual smoke had not dispersed, most of the buildings in the temple were burned, and I was so angry that I vomited blood on the spot.

Tang Seng was also very angry, and scolded Sun Wukong for not advocating that he take out the robe to show off, now it's okay, the robe is lost, so how can he explain to the Bodhisattva in the future?

Sun Wukong was angry and ran to find the abbot, not saying that the abbot hid the robe and didn't want to return it.

The abbot couldn't speak clearly, and in a hurry, he was hit headlong and died.

Now the temple is even more chaotic......

On the other side, Bai Suzhen asked, "Childe, let's take care of this matter?" ”

Gu Ming thought for a while and said: "We'd better not interfere in this matter, speaking of which, that black bear spirit is not a big evildoer, and has some relationship with the Buddhist family, otherwise he would not often discuss Zen with the abbot, let alone grab a robe as a treasure."

This robe was handed over to Tang Seng by Rulai to Guanyin, how could he swallow it privately? ”

"It's also ......"

At the same time, Sun Wukong was completely furious, and threatened a group of monks: "You hurry up and hand over the robe, if you dare not hand it over, don't blame Lao Sun for being ruthless and send you all to the west sky!" ”

The monks were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Eventually, one of the guys seemed to remember something, and said hurriedly: "Perhaps, the robe was taken away by the king of Black Wind Mountain." ”

"King of Black Wind Mountain?"

"Yes, yes, that king has a lot of dealings with my master......"

As soon as he heard the reason, Sun Wukong didn't care to ask, and immediately took off and took off towards Black Wind Mountain......

After that, Gu Ming and Bai Suzhen didn't pay attention to it, and pretended to stay in the temple to protect Tang Seng and let Sun Wukong toss alone.

As expected, the dignified Monkey King couldn't clean up a single black bear spirit......

It's not that it can't be beaten, it's mainly that the black bear spirit is scheming and doesn't fight Sun Wukong head-on.

In desperation, Sun Wukong had to ask Guanyin for help.

"Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, you don't care about this matter, you don't care about my grandson, you won't go to learn the scriptures......"

As soon as the people arrived, Sun Wukong began to shout loudly.

Guanyin smiled: "You splash monkey, why did you start playing tricks as soon as you came?" ”

"The black bear spirit's lair is near the Bodhisattva's meditation monastery, and he also snatched my master's robe......

Sun Wukong gave a general explanation of the reason, of course, concealed the unfavorable side for him, and put all the fault on the abbot and the black bear spirit.

Guanyin came forward, this thing is much easier......

Eventually, the black bear spirit obediently returned the robe, and was also tamed by Guanyin, becoming a guard on the mountain behind the Guanyin Dojo.

After experiencing this difficulty, the group left the monastery and continued on their way.

Along the way, Gu Ming communicated with Sun Wukong or Tang Seng from time to time......

Unconsciously, Tang Seng's concept is slowly undergoing subtle changes.

Although it cannot be said that he has changed a person, at least he is not as pedantic as before.

Moreover, because of insisting on walking, exercising, and practicing sitting and forgetting scriptures, his physique has also undergone a qualitative transformation, and he is no longer a weak Tang monk who has just left Chang'an.

Even if you can't subdue the demon, you can kill a tiger with your bare hands.

In this way, Tang Seng became even more interested in cultivation, and sometimes a meditation was two or three days......

In this regard, Gu Ming is not in a hurry.

Sun Wukong is not in a hurry, after all, he has been pressed under the Five Elements Mountain for hundreds of years, and he still cares about such a little time?

After almost two months, I finally came to Gao Laozhuang......

"Huh?"

Before arriving at the village, Gu Ming couldn't help frowning, because he felt that there was a demonic aura permeating the village.

Of course, Sun Wukong also sensed it, and immediately stopped, and said to Tang Seng: "Master, there seems to be a monster in front of you......"

In the past, Tang Seng would be startled when he heard that there were monsters.

But now he is much bolder, and he said calmly: "It's okay, aren't you here?" Let's go, let's take a look. ”

"Elder Tang, why don't you wait here...... Wukong, you look at Elder Tang, Brother Bai and I will go to find out the situation. ”

So far, Tang Seng doesn't know that Bai Suzhen is a woman dressed as a man...... It can only be said that his eyesight is too clumsy......

"It's okay, then please leave it to the immortals."

Along the way, Gu Ming also showed some abilities, so Sun Wukong didn't have to hide it, and directly called Shangxian.

"Let's go!"

Gu Ming waved his hand at Bai Suzhen, and the two walked towards Gao Laozhuang together.

"Strange, isn't Zhu Bajie already obedient? Where does this Gao Laozhuang's demonic aura come from? And it seems that this demonic aura is quite strange......"

On the way, Bai Suzhen couldn't help but say.

"I don't know...... Could it be that because we joined the learning team, the situation has changed? ”

"Who knows...... Let's see ......."

Entering Gao Laozhuang, there seems to be nothing abnormal on the surface, what should the villagers do......

But on closer inspection, these villagers are clearly abnormal. His demeanor was a little stiff, and his eyes were slightly red.

"Childe, these people ...... Looks like a strange curse. ”

Bai Suzhen finally reacted and whispered.

"Cursed?"

If you want to talk about the curse technique, Gu Ming also knows a little, when he first went to the Qin Shi Mingyue World, the Yin and Yang family was good at this technique.

However, this is the Journey to the West world, and the level is much higher than Qin Shi Mingyue, and no matter how strong the spell of the Yin and Yang family is, it is just a mundane art.

And among these villagers, Gu Ming hasn't seen the clue for a while, so it must not be simple.

"What kind of spell is it?"

Gu Ming couldn't help but ask.

"It's not clear yet...... However, when I was practicing with Master, I accidentally turned over an ancient book with a description that was somewhat similar to that of these villagers.

If this is the case, then it is likely that one of these villagers is a spell of the ancient witchcraft.

If you don't break the spell, over time, these villagers will slowly turn into monsters......"

"So powerful?" Gu Ming couldn't help frowning: "But isn't the ancient witchcraft long gone?" Even if they could, they were afraid that there would be a few great gods, but those great gods would not attack ordinary villagers, right? ”

"I can't tell you ...... this."

Gu Ming thought for a while and said, "That's it, why don't you go back and greet Tang Seng and Sun Wukong first, and ask them not to enter the village for the time being, and then we will go to Zhu Bajie to inquire about the situation." ”

"Hmm."

So, the two quickly left the village, first greeted Tang Seng and Sun Wukong, and then went towards the Yunzhan Cave of Fuling Mountain......

"Old pig!"

When he arrived outside the cave, Gu Ming raised his throat and shouted.

"Shangxian, are you here......"

Zhu Bajie came out with a gust of wind.

"Huh? It's ......"

As soon as this guy appeared, his eyes lit up.

He is not as clumsy as Tang Seng, and he can see at a glance that Bai Suzhen is a woman dressed as a man.

"This is the White Girl."

Gu Ming briefly introduced.

"It turned out to be the White Girl......"

Second Sister Mao also walked out, and warmly invited Gu Ming and the others to enter the cave.

After a few words of greeting, Gu Ming got straight to the point and asked, "Old pig, what's going on with Gao Laozhuang?" What happened to those villagers? ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Zhu Bajie immediately poured bitter water: "Don't talk about you, the old pig is also worried about this matter." Those who know are fine, but if they don't know, they think that the old pig is doing the trick......"

"Do you know why?"

"I do know something inside." Second Sister Mao said.

"Oh, please tell me about that."

"After many inquiries, the reason should be that two villagers went to Qingzhuling, south of Zhuangzi, to collect medicine, and normally returned before dark.

But three days passed, and the two villagers did not return to the village.

So, the owner of the village, Gao Taigong, sent more than a dozen villages into the mountains to look for it.

The villagers searched in the mountains all day and finally found the two villagers. It's just that the two villagers were already in a coma at that time......

Later, he was carried back to the village for treatment.

Then the two villagers woke up and said that they had accidentally broken into a cave and encountered something strange, so they did not dare to stay long, so they left the cave.

But when he got out of the cave, he got lost......

Later, the people of the village began to suffer from a strange disease...... It's pretty much the kind of symptom you see.

Now no one dares to go to Gao Laozhuang easily, and they all say that the people of Gao Laozhuang have fallen into evil.

But I guess they may have fallen under some kind of spell...... Unfortunately, I don't know much about spells, and it's just my own guess. ”

Gu Ming nodded: "Well, the white girl also thinks that these villagers have fallen under spells. If this is the case, then they have to find a way to undo the spell for them, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable once they occur. ”

"Yes...... But there are not many people who know spells, where do we find them? ”

Second Sister Mao asked.

"I think it's better to grasp the situation first, start from the source, and find the reason for their curse first."

Zhu Bajie immediately patted his chest and said, "No problem, the old pig will accompany you." ”

At this time, Gu Ming couldn't help but glance at Zhu Bajie and smiled: "It's just right to say it, Tang Seng has already arrived ......"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Bajie said: "I've heard about it a long time ago, and you should almost arrive at the time." During this time, my wife and I have already made a deal, and every once in a while I will sneak back to see her......"

"Shame or not, take this out and say it."

Second Sister Mao blushed and said angrily.

If she hadn't interrupted this guy, maybe he would have said something even more embarrassing.

Gu Ming smiled meaningfully: "It's okay, you can fly anyway, and it won't take too long to come back." Otherwise, now I will take you to Tang Seng and join the scripture learning team first. ”

"Okay, thank you Immortal."

"Remember, don't mention things we knew before in front of Tang Seng."

"Understood!"

Zhu Bajie had an expression that I understood.

So, under the leadership of Gu Ming, Zhu Bajie came to Gao Laozhuang together.

"Okay, you go over and apprentice yourself......"

Gu Ming wanted to avoid suspicion, so they didn't appear together.

Zhu Bajie nodded, and then swaggered towards Tang Seng......

"Bold pig demon, eat my grandson!"

Sun Wukong saw Zhu Bajie appear, and without saying a word, he beat him with a stick.

After all, they are not brothers now, and Zhu Bajie is now a pig demon himself, Sun Wukong shoulders the mission of protecting Tang Seng, so he naturally has to do it.

"Stinky monkey, I'm afraid that you won't be able to do it?"

Not to be outdone, Zhu Bajie greeted him with a nine-tooth nail palladium......

For a while, the sand and rocks were flying, and the roar was endless.

They struck from the earth to the heavens, and the heavens to the earth...... Although Tang Seng was much bolder than before, he was still a little frightened in his heart, and led the white dragon horse to avoid it.

When this Zhu Bajie meets a monster, it seems to be like playing soy sauce, but in fact, his strength is really not bad.

Although he can't beat Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong is not so easy to win him.

After fighting for a long time, Zhu Bajie suffered a little...... So I stopped fighting......

"Don't fight, don't fight......"

"If you don't fight, you won't fight? Pick up! ”

Zhu Bajie took another stick, and then shouted: "Senior brother, don't fight." ”

"Who's your big brother......

"It was Master Guanyin who instructed the old pig to let the old pig apprentice to the master and go to the west to learn scriptures with the senior brother to protect the master."

Saying this, Sun Wukong finally stopped.

In fact, he also knew about this, but Guanyin didn't say who wanted to apprentice, but only said that he had arranged three apprentices for Tang Seng and would meet him on the way.

Dare to love, the second one is this guy.

On the other side, Tang Seng heard that the second apprentice had appeared, and there was a speechless expression on his face.

The big apprentice is a monkey.

The second apprentice is a pig......

Isn't there a normal one?

As soon as the thoughts came together, he quickly closed his eyes and muttered, "Sins and sins......"

The Bodhisattva arranged, and he still dared to dislike it?

"Hahaha, Master, the old pig greets Master!"

Zhu Bajie has to go forward, regardless of whether Tang Seng agrees or not, kowtow three times first.

Of course, he knew it in his heart, and it was impossible for Tang Seng to disagree...... To put it bluntly, the old pig's heart is open, he is a chess piece to learn from the scriptures, why not Tang Seng?

"Get up......"

Tang Seng sighed secretly and stretched out his hand to help him.

"Thank you, Master. By the way, Master, the Bodhisattva gave the old pig a legal name, the senior brother Wukong, and the old pig was called Wuneng. ”

"Amitabha!"

Tang Seng subconsciously bowed in the direction of the South China Sea.

Then he said to Zhu Bajie: "Since you have received the bodhisattva vows and broken the five meat and three hates, then the teacher will also give you a nickname, which is called the eight precepts." ”

"Thank you, Master!"

"Haha, now Lao Sun Ke will be relaxed, as soon as I see this guy, he can eat it, and I will give you the matter of fate in the future."

Sun Wukong is very happy, he finally has a junior brother to call.

"Hey......

Zhu Bajie touched his big belly and smiled.

"Nerd ......"

Sun Wukong couldn't help pouting.

"By the way, Bajie, what's going on in the village in front of here?"

Tang Seng asked subconsciously.

"This village? Strange to say, the people in this village seem to have fallen into some kind of witchcraft or something. ”

"Caught in witchcraft? That ......" Tang Seng couldn't help but glance at Sun Wukong: "Wukong, I don't know if you have a way?" ”

Sun Wukong replied: "This has to wait for the immortal to come back and ask about the situation." ”

"Okay, let's wait."

After a while, Gu Ming and Bai Suzhen made it look like they had just returned from the village......

Tang Seng hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Two immortals, I don't know what the situation is in the village?" ”

Gu Ming glanced at Zhu Bajie and said, "Huh? Who is this? ”

"Oh, I forgot to introduce it, this is the second disciple Wu Neng who the poor monk just received, you can also call him Bajie."

"I see...... Congratulations to the elder for receiving another high apprentice! ”

Gu Ming congratulated.

After a while, Gu Ming, Bai Suzhen, and Zhu Bajie entered Gao Laozhuang together.

After walking around, I finally found that a small number of villagers were normal. So, Gu Ming stepped forward to ask, and the result was similar to what Second Sister Mao said, since the villagers were rescued, the villagers of Gao Laozhuang were "sick" one after another.

"If you want to inquire about the more detailed situation, you can go to the owner."

"Mrs. Gao? He's fine? ”

"Well, Gao Taigong is fine for the time being, he should know more details."

So, the three of them immediately came to Mrs. Gao's house.

Gao Taigong was an official in the first place, and it was second to none in the village.

There was no one at the door, and the three of them walked to the yard by themselves, only to find that there was a girl sitting in the yard dumbfounded, and she didn't say hello when she saw the three people entering the yard.

"What a poor girl......"

Zhu Bajie made an old mistake, and when he saw this girl looking beautiful, his sympathy was overflowing for a while, and he couldn't help but walk up......

As for what Tang Seng said, the eight precepts...... I forgot about it for a long time.

"Little sister, is this the home of the owner of the village, Mrs. Gao?"

Zhu Bajie asked knowingly.

Before I came, the villagers had already said that the courtyard of Mrs. Gao's house was the largest in the village, located in the middle of the village, and it was quite easy to find.

This guy can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman, and when he sees a younger person, he calls him a little sister, a little older person calls him a sister, and a little older one calls him aunt......

"Hee-hee-hee......"

The girl didn't speak, just smiled stupidly.

In fact, her symptoms are the mildest, but she looks a little stupid, but her eyes look normal, unlike other villagers whose eyes seem to be congested.

This smile made Zhu Bajie's heart sway, and he asked again: "What is the name of the young lady?" ”

"Cuilan ......"

At this time, an old man walked out and looked at Zhu Bajie with a frightened face.

"Don't be afraid, old man, I'm a monk......"

Zhu Bajie has already worshipped the teacher and said that his family also said the past.

At the same time, Gu Ming couldn't help but glance at the woman.

It turned out that this was Gao Cuilan, the third daughter of Gao Taigong, if it weren't for his arrival, maybe Zhu Bajie's current daughter-in-law would be her.

His arrival has made a subtle change in the whole plot.

But now it seems that this is going around, and there will still be a little story between Zhu Bajie and Gao Cuilan.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been encountered by such a coincidence.

"You ...... Where did it come from? ”

Gao Taigong was still vigilant.

"Uncle, we are from the Tang Dynasty in the East and pass by this village......"

Gu Ming took the initiative to step forward and explain.

"Huh? Dongtu Datang ...... It's far away. ”

"That's right, it's just that we found that the villagers in Zhuangzi don't seem to be quite right......"

At the mention of this, Mrs. Gao couldn't help sighing: "No, even the old and decrepit little daughter also suffered from a strange disease." ”

"Uncle, this is not a strange disease, it should be an ancient curse. We are here to learn more about some situations so that we can find a way to solve them, so we hope that my husband will tell them. ”

Gao Taigong's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you, thank you, the three of you, please, let Lao Yu tell the three of you slowly." ”

……
