Chapter 151: Sad Past
Ya Shi didn't feel shocked, and said in horror: "Mom, look at the scale of these cobwebs, they can cover a bighorn deer, how can such a big spider in the world weave cobwebs of this scale, and besides, spider silk is generally colorless, how can there be many colors of red and green, it's too exaggerated, right?"
Bajie was very disdainful when he heard this, rolled his eyes and said: "How old have you lived, how much of the world have you seen, and how dare you be so arbitrary? Judging by my old pig's knowledge, it is not surprising that there are such big spiders, it must have been cultivated into refinement, as for why this spider web is colorful, I think it is some kind of spell cultivated by the monster, or just to achieve a visual effect, deliberately cultivated, the general monster is not easy to practice, are more pragmatic, like this pursuit of flashy colors, it is rare to see. β
Seeing a few people arguing there, Tang Sanzang looked extremely impatient, and waved his hand angrily: "Okay, okay, don't fight, whether it is spider silk or not, burn it a little, smell it, don't you know the clues, why make it so complicated?"
Wukong nodded, opened his mouth and spewed out a raging flame, about to burn the red wire net, but the net was in flames, but it was just sizzling, the flame went out, and it didn't burn, which made the monkey can't help but be surprised.
The monkey did not want to lose face in front of this little broken net, so he took out the Ruyi golden hoop stick from his ear, pulled the plug of the fire stick, and then stretched it out and stabbed it at the top of the net. As soon as it came into contact with the silk net, it immediately erupted a raging samadhi fire, devouring the slimy vermilion wire net, burning until the smoke was billowing and scorching, and they turned into ashes and fell to the ground.
Tang Sanzang carefully sniffed the smell of the red silk net after it burned, couldn't help but sneeze the boss, covered his mouth and nose and said: "Ah, sure enough, it is the smell of spider silk after burning, it is stinky, like the smell of burnt proteins, there are so many spider webs, and there are many colors, I think it must be a spider spirit, according to my guess, we may have arrived in Pansiling this time." β
Seeing the master looking at him, the monkey suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Master, if you ask which ground is here, you can be regarded as finding the right person. β
After saying that, the monkey picked up his stick and struck it vigorously on the ground, but only three or two times he saw a puff of white smoke rising from under the ground, and when the white smoke dissipated, an old man with an unkempt face, ragged clothes, a straw hat on his head, and a bamboo knife in his hand turned out from under the ground, leaned down to the ground, and respectfully clenched his fists to the people.
The monkey put away the stick, pointed his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Well, you are the land or the mountain god of the party, why do you look so shabby, and you are not afraid of falling into the face of your wonderful heavenly court?"
As soon as the words came out, the man couldn't help but feel sad from it, and knelt on the ground with a puff, and said with tears: "Great Sage, you don't know, this is the boundary of the three hundred miles of Pansi Ridge, although the place is a poor mountain and evil ridge, it is also a good place for people to rest, but because there is a silk hole under the ridge, there is a group of seven female spider spirits living in the hole, specializing in taking people with a pocket net between the mountains, killing and killing people, so no one dares to walk in the territory of hundreds of miles. β
"My old man was originally the land of this side, but because of the lack of blood and food offerings, all the mountain gods under his command were entrusted to the relationship and went to other places to make a living. The old man abides by the laws of heaven, and has nothing to do with it, so he does not dare to leave his post without permission, so he works hard to support here, usually takes a bamboo knife to cut down some branches and firewood in the mountains, and carries it far to the ground of the East Zhu Ziguo to ask people to replace some fruits, vegetables, grains, rice, and stomachs. β
Hearing him say that he was sad, Sanzang couldn't help but be full of sympathy, and said with compassion: "From this point of view, your life is really miserable, which is sighing and embarrassing, and it also evokes the sad childhood memories of this master. But we meet each other here, and we are also fated, although we can't change your situation completely, and do a little bit, but we should also do it. β
"That's it, Wukong, you first go to the luggage and find a few suitable clothes for the old man to change, and then give him some of the food we brought from Zhu Ziguo, this poor mountain and bad water, hard situation, look at this old man to be thin, skinny, the front heart is attached to the back, and you have to go to Zhu Ziguo to replace the food by yourself, it is really not easy to live. β
Wukong spread his hands when he heard this, and he was deeply embarrassed: "Master, there is a Tao that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, of course you are so high, The master who gives orders can't fully understand the internal situation of his own house, the clothes are enough, but the elegant and vulgar have to be abused by the thunder and lightning halberd every day, and all the clothes they wear are electrocuted into charcoal, so they can only embezzle a few of our clothes to wear, ten days and half a month, don't say that we ask our daughter to make new clothes cut by the court craftsmen, and even the clothes that are usually eliminated and not worn are all damaged, and now we have no other clothes to change and wash except for the clothes we are wearing, let alone use them to help this old manγ β
"As for food, who doesn't know that Bajie's eating intestines are big, so those melons, fruits, and vegetables that he fished from Zhu Ziguo were sacrificed to his five internal organs temple within a few days, if it weren't for my grandson to travel hundreds of miles a day to save some food, how could there be a bite of food for you?"
Sanzang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said with great indignation: "Damn, you dead-eyed people all know that the thunder and lightning halberd will rain down thunder to baptize elegance and vulgarity, and you won't let him use it naked, and good clothes will be so ruined, wouldn't it be wasted? Okay, okay, I know that I have prepared some steamed buns for supper tonight, so I will take them out to help the old land first, otherwise looking at his weak appearance, I will think of my young days as a teacher, I didn't eat or drink, and I really can't bear it. β
Wujing was obedient, and immediately in Bajie's murderous eyes, he took out more than a dozen cold steamed buns the size of a fist from the bag behind his back, and handed them to Lao Di with his hand. Seeing that there was food, the old land was so excited that his eyes lit up, and his mouth frothed, and he took it at the next time, and he didn't mind the steamed buns being cold and hard, he opened his mouth and hummed and gnawed five in a row, without the slightest panting, and saw the old pig's mouth was full of jin and his abdomen was long, if it weren't for the presence of the master, I really wanted to snatch a few steamed buns from the old land's hands and eat them with him.
Lao Di thought that he hadn't eaten a full meal for a long time, and today he decided to eat it with a vengeance, swallowing seven or eight steamed buns in a row, before he stopped, not that he didn't have the extra stomach to eat the two or three steamed buns in his hand, but the steamed buns were dry and hard, he ate fast, gobbled up, the steamed buns were crowded, and all of a sudden they were all blocked in his throat, so that his eyes rolled and he panted, and the old land leaned up his neck and beat his stomach hard, but he couldn't swallow. Seeing that Lao Di was extremely happy and sad, and the vengeful meal was about to become his last lunch, Tianshu immediately poured out a bowl of cold water from the bowl and handed it to him in time. Lao Di hurriedly took the cold water, drank it into his stomach in three or two sips, washed down the clogged steamed bun lumps, and then ate the last two steamed buns slowly and methodically, before he burped contentedly.
Ten steamed buns under the stomach, the old land suddenly full of energy, his face was red, he straightened up, respectfully bowed to everyone, and said with gratitude: "Your kindness of a meal will be remembered in your heart, and you will never forget, so I will reveal some of the news ahead to you, you must be careful when you go, don't follow the way of those female monsters." β
"The head of the banshee's name is called Chun Thirty Niang, it is rumored that she has a grudge against her sister with the great sage, and I heard that the great sage followed the holy monk all the way west to learn the scriptures, and it was necessary to walk through her three hundred miles of Pansi Ridge, so she gathered six sisters under her and set up a number of organs in this dense forest. β
When the monkey heard this, he scratched his scalp and wondered: "Damn, my grandson has never heard of a person named Chun Thirty Niang, how can he have any relationship with her, what kind of revenge for killing his sister, it is really a disaster without reason, and he is extremely wronged." β
Sanzang secretly complained bitterly when he heard it, and muttered in his heart, Damn, this is really the world of Journey to the West, even the spring thirty Niang came out, and he is also the boss of the seven spider spirits in the Pansi Cave, this plot has been changed, it is really too standard.
Seeing that the monkey still looked aggrieved and depressed, Sanzang shrugged his shoulders and sneered: "Monkey, don't get excited, that Chun Thirty Niang really has some relationship with you, she is Bai Jingjing's fellow senior sister, she must not know the truth, and mistakenly thinks you are the murderer of Bai Jingjing, so she wants to fight to the death with you." β
As soon as he heard Bai Jingjing's three words, the monkey's body shook for no reason, and his eyes immediately widened, and he scolded viciously: "Ahh Anyway, my grandson has been rampant in this life, harming people a lot, and has suffered a lot of stigma, and has suffered from the misunderstanding and slander of others, but it is not bad, if she wants to kill me, she has to see if there is such a means, don't be successful when the time comes, but be captured by me, don't you want to laugh and be generous?"
