Chapter 56: Crisis

The four masters and apprentices and the white dragon horse were asleep in the desert, and a caravan was slowly advancing on the other side of the desert.

The caravan consisted of 20 men who rode camels, armed with shields and torches, spears on their backs, iron swords on their legs, and well-armed in light armor. They protected a bearded merchant in the middle, an older man with a gold-encrusted sword at his waist and a simple robe of desert embroidery. In the arms of the bearded man there is a delicate box. He pressed the box tightly to himself, looking like it was very important to him.

Caravan Guard: "Head, it looks like we'll be able to get to Tianzhu early tomorrow morning." ”

The leader of the caravan: "Okay, this time the escort is valuable, everyone will work hard, and wait until Tianzhu to rest." ”

Caravan Guard: "Head, why are we so many brothers escorting a broken gourd this time?"

Caravan Leader: "You know what a fart, this is no ordinary gourd. This is an amethyst gourd that has only been dug up recently, and it is rumored that this is something that belongs to the gods, and no one knows what it contains, and no one can open it. ”

The head of the caravan guard was surprised: "Immortal things, that's a terrible thing, head, or we will detain it privately and sell it for a good price." ”

The leader of the caravan was angry: "Devil's mind! We are walking the rivers and lakes to talk about morality, since this time the buyer paid us a lot of money before receiving the goods, how can we do such a treacherous thing." I warn you, if you dare to follow these crooked ways in the future, you will get out of my chamber of commerce. ”

The caravan guard smiled: "Head, don't be angry, I'm going to say that." ”

The leader of the caravan was angry: "Hmph! I have heard that caravans are often missing in this vicinity, and I guess they are robbers, so go and tell the brothers, cheer me up, and when you arrive at Tianzhu tomorrow morning, you will get five times the reward. ”

When the caravan captain heard this, his eyes instantly brightened brighter than torches: "Five times! The caravan guard rode away happily on his camel.

The caravan continued to move slowly, but something moved in the sand dunes not far away, a huge thing, swimming in the sand.

After walking for a while, the night was getting deeper and deeper, and the leader of the caravan signaled to stop and rest.

He fastened the box to himself with strips of cloth, looked at the guards around him, and walked behind the dunes.

The caravan captain asked, "Where did the head go?"

Guard: "He's going to go to the toilet over there." ”

The caravan remained in place for half an hour, but the leader did not come out, and the captain of the guard was surprised and walked over.

Just as the captain of the guard shouted as he walked behind the hill, the guards came running.

Everyone saw that there was a recess behind the dune, and the sand next to it was stained red with blood, and in the middle, the caravan leader was only the bottom half of his body.

The chief of the guard snatched a torch and walked over to check: "Damn, the body wounds under the head and body are irregular, I am afraid that they will be bitten alive." ”

The guards were frightened and looked around. The chief of the guard stood up: "Don't panic, everyone, quickly, quickly search for a delicate wooden box around, and after finding it, we will leave here quickly." ”

The guards looked at each other hesitantly.

The guard shouted, "Look for it! Now that the old guy is dead and no one pays, if we can't find the box, we'll be busy all the way." The guards scattered to look for it.

Bajie walked to Chang'e's bed after singing and touched her head, Chang'e looked at him with open eyes and smiled at him.

Wu Gang sat down sadly: "Sister Chang'e's memory is getting worse and worse, and if she continues like this, she will disappear with her memory." ”

Bajie: "Wu Gang, do you know any way to awaken Chang'e's memory?"

Wu Gang: "I heard the master mention before that if you want to regain your memory, you must have something that belonged to that person in the past. ”

Bajie thought to himself, looking at Chang'e lying on the bed: "What do you mean by this? What belonged to her in the past?"

Bajie: "Chang'e, did you have anything that belonged to you in the past?"

Chang'e pointed to Bajie: "You." ”

Bajie: "Huh?" "Hey, Wu Gang, you see if I can do it, take me to exchange for Chang'e's memory." ”

Wu Gang shook his head: "No, you're not a thing." ”

Bajie: "I..... Hey, that's what counts. ”

Wu Gang: "I don't know about this. ”

Chang'e took Bajie's hand and kept shouting like a child: "Tiancang, Tiancang, Tiancang." ”

Bajie thought to himself: "Could it be that if people lose their memories, their IQ will also decrease?" Bajie sat on the edge of the bed: "I'm here, what's wrong?"

Chang'e: "I'm hungry and want to eat." ”

Bajie: "Hungry, Wu Gang, is there anything to eat here?"

Wu Gang was very helpless: "This is the Moon Palace, how can there be food." ”

Bajie: "Don't you usually eat?"

Wu Gang: "Have you ever heard that immortals are hungry?"

Bajie looked at Chang'e, and Chang'e kept holding Bajie's hand and shaking: "Hungry, hungry, hungry." ”

Bajie: "Chang'e, you wait for me, I'll go get you something delicious." When Chang'e heard this, she let go of Tiancang's hand, and slowly said coquettishly: "Come back early." ”

If it were before, Bajie or Tianpeng would be happy to hear Chang'e say this, and they would be happy to see her willful coquettishness. But now, all he has left is concern and worry about her. Bajie rushed out of the gate of the Moon Palace and shouted: "Master, let me wake up." ”

There was no response, and Bajie shouted again: "Dead bald head, stinky monkey, ugly beard, fart white dragon, wake me up!"

Ren Ran didn't react, Bajie still stood in place: "It's strange, shouldn't you be awake at this time." ”

Suddenly, Bajie felt a sharp pain all over his body, and slowly opened his eyes.

Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing, and the white dragon horse stepped on him with one foot, Tang Sanzang: "You fat pig, you are scolding us in your dreams, hum!"

Bajie hurriedly got up and happily hugged the master: "Great, I'm back, let's go, go to Tianzhu City, hurry!"

Tang Sanzang: "Are you crazy by us just now, so happy." ”

Bajie hurriedly packed up the luggage for everyone, and said while packing: "Why are you still stunned, let's go to Tianzhu City on the road." ”

Tang Sanzang clasped his hands: "I won't go, what is there to go to that kind of place." ”

Bajie looked at the stubborn and willful Tang Sanzang, so he had to tell Tang Sanzang everything he dreamed about last night.

Tang Sanzang thought for a moment: "Okay, let's go to Tianzhu City to buy food for Chang'e first, after all, we can't let a little girl be so hungry." ”

Sun Wukong: "Master, aren't you afraid that if you go in, you won't be able to get out again?"

Tang Sanzang: "So I only plan to go with Bajie and two people, you still have your things to do, in case I and Bajie are forced to become Buddhas, our wishes will have to be fulfilled by you." ”

Bai Longma hurriedly came to Tang Sanzang's side: "I don't care, I want to go, I will be where you are, and I will follow you when you become a Buddha." ”

Sha Wujing raised his hand: "Me too, I decided to follow the master, and I will go wherever the master goes." Anyway, I can only transcend flowers if I become a Buddha, so I'm not afraid. ”

Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wukong: "What about you?"

Sun Wukong smiled: "I won't go, I still have some things to do." ”

After saying that, Sun Wukong flew away in a somersault cloud, and Bajie pulled Tang Sanzang: "Master, do you have any money?"

Tang Sanzang: "No, what's wrong." ”

Bajie: "Then let's buy something hairy." ”

Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, it seems that this is the only way to go." With that, he lifted his robe, and his leg hair flew in the wind.

The white dragon horse was shy, and turned his back to Tang Sanzang: "What are you doing?"

Tang Sanzang: "I have another dragon ** signed by Tang Taizong here, this has been worn all the way, it's time to take it off and sell it." ”

Bajie, Bailongma, and Sha Wujing shouted at Tang Sanzang in unison: "Get out!" The three of them went back to pack their luggage, leaving Tang Sanzang alone.

Tang Sanzang crossed his hands on his waist, and his leg hair and robe were blown up by the wind together: "Hmph, kindly helped, and scolded me, really." Hmm, what is that?" An object in the sand not far away shimmered, catching his eye.

Tang Sanzang ran over, rolled up his sleeves and dug it, and after a while, he dug out the delicate box, Tang Sanzang: "What is this?" Tang Sanzang listened with his ears, and shook the box, and there was a crisp sound in the box, which made Tang Sanzang even more curious.

Just when Tang Sanzang was about to open the box, he stopped: "No, everyone has to come together to be happy when they open the box." He stood up and ran happily to his apprentices: "Hey, I've found something good." ”

The three of them didn't pay attention to it at all, Bailongma closed his eyes and rested, and Sha Wujing and Bajie packed their things.

Bajie: "What good things can be in this kind of place?"

Sha Wujing smiled: "Hehe, I guess who signed it." Sha Wujing glanced at Tang Sanzang, and immediately his face changed greatly, he patted Bajie and Bailongma, and pointed over there. They looked terrified, and shouted with glaring eyes, "Master, run!"

Tang Sanzang looked at the shadow on the ground in confusion, and behind him, a behemoth gradually crawled out of the sand. Tang Sanzang didn't dare to look back to see what this was, but the huge shadow and wriggling body told him that this guy was definitely not fasting.
