Chapter 59: Ghost Fire
But it was said that Wukong and his descendants drove the nine-headed dragon leech to the short pine hill, and when they looked at it, they saw a desolation......
Although the harsh winter has passed, there are still trees and dead grass all over the ground, and there is no trace of spring in sight. Above the desolate ruins of Muxian Temple, squeaky wild mice scurried around in groups, as if no one was around......
Despite the two uninvited guests, the little ones don't seem to care. In contrast to the timid and humble manners of the rats, the rats here are so arrogant and swaggering! It is clear that they have made themselves the new masters of Kumatsuoka.
Everything in front of them has silently told Goku and his descendants that since the last battle, it seems that Eighteen Gong and the others have never returned to Sakumatsuoka......
Where did the crooked nose old road go? Is it this group of tree spirits and vine monsters who overturned the lookout platform? Is that magical big footprint really the eighteenth prince playing tricks......
With all kinds of questions, the two brothers returned to Phoenix Mountain with a little loss. I don't know why, after seeing the ruined situation on the short Matsuoka, thinking about the embarrassment of the enemy's eighteen dukes dying in the world, Goku and his descendants, who have always been happy to take revenge, couldn't be happy......
After a few more days, the weather is getting warmer, and the east wind is coming...... In the southeast corner of the courtyard, next to the fence, the branches of the mountain peach trees, which had been silent for a winter, gradually became delicate and new green......
Time flies, time is running out! Wukong and his descendants gathered everyone and began to discuss the matter of building the Moon Observatory again.
In order to prevent the ghosts from secretly doing evil again, Wukong suggested that when rebuilding the Moon Observatory, various materials such as cinnabar and dog blood should be added to ward off evil spirits, and in addition, he also instructed the little mute to carve a peachwood sword in case of emergency......
Due to a thrilling change, everyone was extra cautious in the process of rebuilding.
After more than 40 days of orderly construction, a brand-new moon observatory has finally risen on the original site!
At this time, it is the season of paulownia blossoms, and from a distance, the moon platform in the sea of flowers is even more magnificent. It may be because of the excessive cinnabar and dog blood, but under the sun, the moon platform flashes with a crimson light, which looks very mysterious......
As the guardian of the moon platform, the naughty nine-headed dragon leech sometimes jumps around the platform, sometimes jumps to the platform to look around, sometimes sneaks into the forest to peep, and sometimes lies next to the platform and screams......
Seeing that the end of the month was coming, the last day of mid-spring, when the sun was setting, Wukong, who was lying quietly in bed, suddenly felt that his eyes were hot and his heart was beating, and his whole body was uneasy......
"Remember the last time the moon platform collapsed...... It was late at night on November 30, and the next day coincided with heavy snow on the first day of the lunar month...... Today is February 28th, and tomorrow is the New Moon, tonight will be the moon dark and the wind will be high, and the yin air will be permeated, will the monsters take the opportunity to make a comeback......" Thinking of this, Wukong's heart was even more up. He immediately rolled out of bed and found the equally apprehensive descendant......
After discussing with the two brothers, they decisively decided to go to the moon platform that evening and stay on duty all night......
Hurriedly finished dinner, leaving Wu Gang, Fan Feng and Qiushui to look after the house, and the rest of the people followed Wukong and his descendants, brought the things of application, and arrived in front of the moon platform in the evening.
The descendants nodded and summoned the nine-headed dragon leech, and everyone lurked together on the east side of the moon platform, in a relatively lush tung forest.
The night slowly fell, the stars and moon in the sky were gone, and the surroundings were pitch black! Gradually, no one was seen on the other side, and it was difficult to see the fingers when I stretched out my hand......
A yin wind blew, several wild crows were startled, pieces of paulownia flowers fell, and the floating dark fragrance was wantonly scattered in an instant, refreshing people's hearts......
"Qiushui, is it a monster coming...... Goku asked in a low voice.
"No, Brother Shan. It's just a few crows and magpies fighting for the nest......" Qiushui said in Goku's ear.
"Autumn ...... Sister Water, Your Eyes...... Isn't the eye more ...... It's getting brighter......" the little mute asked.
"Yes, since I got well from my illness last winter, my eyes have gotten better, especially at night, I ...... Brother Shan, there seems to be movement......" Qiushui suddenly whispered.
"Everyone be careful, the monster may be here......" Wukong's heart tightened when he heard this.
"Come on...... Good ......" The little mute's heart was beating even harder, and the palms of his hands holding the peachwood sword were already full of sweat......
"Wow, wow, wow, wow......" accompanied by the screams of the nine-headed dragon leech, a cluster of colorful flames suddenly burst out in the dark night, and it turned around the moon platform three times, reversed three times, and then "poof" turned into blue, white, red, and purple "four ghost fires", and lived in the four directions of the east, west, south, and north of the moon platform!
"Oh, big brother, isn't it early today, the guy with nine heads hasn't slept yet!" a long-lost scream suddenly erupted from a "white ghost fire......
"Woo, second brother, what's there to be afraid of the nine-headed dragon leech? It's just a small character that only adds to the chaos! Have you forgotten what happened last time? The nine puffs of yellow smoke it spit out not hurt us, but doubled the strength of the brothers, and the prestige was great, and finally forced Bi Ma Wen to vomit blood!" "Cyan Ghost Fire" said staggeringly.
"Oh, the eldest brother is right! Whatever he is a nine-headed dragon leech and eight phoenix tails, he can finish his work early and be down-to-earth! I have heard that starting to meditate and practice before midnight will help to nourish qi and live forever! So, we have to fight quickly!" "Red Ghost Fire" seems to be very anxious, and he speaks quite quickly.
"Oh, don't worry, third brother! Didn't you say it last night? Before today's action, I also learned from my eldest brother to compose a poem to help ...... fun" "Purple Ghost Fire" spoke in a rough voice, and it seemed a little dull.
"Oh, you're doing it quickly!" "Red Ghost Fire" said impatiently.
"Oh, wait until I brew my emotions...... Uh-huh, with ......" "Purple Ghost Fire" still said unhurriedly: "Wangyue Tower, built up, down, down, rebuilt, rebuilt, rebuilt......, rebuilt,
"Okay, good, the fourth brother has grown!" "Miao Miao Miao! Fourth brother is good Sven!" "Big brother and second brother, don't hold it, let's do it quickly!" "Three brothers, listen to my command today, do it......" "Four ghost fires" chattered and laughed, and "whew" and hung on the moon platform at the same time......
"Oh, brothers, I'll shout one, two, three, let's work together......! Two...... Hey, big brother, how did I stick to this table......"
"Oh, big brother, I can't move my hands and feet......"
"Oh, big brother, how do I feel like I'm going to show my original form......"
"Oh, brothers, I've revealed my true form......"
With the panicked screams of the "Four Ghost Fires", several torches suddenly lit in front of the Moon Observatory! Under the blazing firelight, Wukong and his descendants jumped out of the Tong Forest......
At this time, the "four ghost fires" had all turned into human forms, and their hands and feet were firmly glued to the moon platform......
As far as the eye can see, these monsters are almost identical, all of them have sharp-beaked monkey gills, and their bodies are short! If you look closely, your faces are slightly different, and they are divided into four colors: blue, white, red, and purple. Each of the guys wore felt hats and cloth robes, and a pair of shoes under their feet were similar to those of a small boat, three feet long and one foot wide! What was even more strange was that these monsters were rushing in with their heels and outward with their toes! The big-footed girl was hanging in the air and trembling......
"Brother Jin's clever plan, sure enough, he caught the tree spirit vine monster that was pushed to the moon platform......" The descendant laughed as he held up the torch.
"Who are you who dare to spoil the good deeds of our brothers one after another...... Goku shouted.
"Woo, Bi Ma Wen, we are not human ......" "Purple-faced monster" said in a trembling voice.
"And what the hell are you?" the descendant snapped.
"Oh, we're not ghosts either......"
"No...... People don't ...... Hell, you...... What the hell are we...... What is it?" the little mute couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, we're not things......"
After asking for a long time, several monsters either kept silent or spoke smoothly, and it seemed that they were ready to ask three questions......
"Swarm...... Lord, Descendant...... Brother, these demons ...... No wonder it's not old...... Really, you have to give ...... They nodded ...... Look at it!" said the little mute, holding a peachwood sword.
"Okay, Brother Xian, the task of interrogating the captives is up to you!" Wukong smiled slightly.
"Delivery...... Give me no ...... Question, can it ...... We're ...... too much High, I'm ...... No...... the little mute looked at the descendants, at the nine-headed dragon leeches, "the descendants...... Brother, can you ...... Can't let the dragon ...... Brother Leech carried me ...... Go up ......"
"Of course!" the descendant laughed and motioned for the nine-headed leech to lie on the ground. The little mute came to the cut, and with the help of the hanging gall, quickly climbed onto the back of the dragon leech. The dragon leech stood up, carried the little mute around the moon platform, and finally stopped next to the "purple-faced monster......
"Dragon...... Brother Leech, you're too ...... Empathetic ...... Meaning, how do you ...... Just know...... Dao this demon ...... Blame the most ...... What about being dishonest......? That's what it does...... The poem, digging ...... We who are suffering ...... The little mute ...... the peachwood sword shook at the purple-faced monster.
"Oh, I didn't write the poem...... It was my eldest brother who taught me last night......" "Purple-faced Youkai" dealt with it slowly.
"Woo, big brother, why are you partial, didn't you say that you would let the fourth child do it alone?"
"Woo, I'll just say, the fourth child has this ability, and he will compose poetry when he wakes up at night?"
"Oh, the fourth is young, and it should be helped!"
A few monsters, you say a word, gag, and laugh......
"Little mute, don't talk nonsense with them, use a peachwood sword to pierce the ankle bone of the 'purple-faced demon'......" Wukong shouted loudly.
"Compliance...... Life, group ...... Lord!" The little mute gritted his teeth, wrinkled his eyebrows, and grasped the peachwood sword with both hands, and stabbed it at the ankle of the "purple-faced monster......
