Sanzang didn't feel embarrassed and smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Alas, the weather has been relatively cool these days, and this treasure may not be used for a long time, and I forgot about it for a while, which really made you suffer." ”

Hearing what the master said, the old pig was too embarrassed to say anything, but just took the brocade robe and draped it on his body, and conjured into a giant ten feet high, dancing with a nail rake in his hand and continuing to open the way.

It was said that the old pig with his brocade robe to resist the sunlight exerted his might, and in just one afternoon's work, he opened a hundred and eighty miles of thorny land and came to a big rock. The monkey followed the old pig to blow the cool breeze, at a glance at this big stone, couldn't help but take a few steps forward, watched with his feet, couldn't help dancing, stroked his palms and laughed: "Master, there is really you, this stele really has three big characters on the thorn ridge, etc., there are four lines of small characters below, the first two sentences are 'thorns climb eight hundred miles, there are few people on the road in ancient times', the bottom two sentences were added later, the stone marks are too shallow, the words are too sloppy, yes, it is written that 'from now on, the eight precepts can be broken, and the road to the west is flat'. ”

"Damn, Bajie, have you ever been here, how can your name be left on this stone?"

As soon as Bajie heard that he had withdrawn his true appearance, he also came closer to look at it, and couldn't help but be puzzled, and said in disbelief: "This is really strange, my old pig has never been here since it was born, how can someone write my name and surname on it? Could it be that there is an unpredictable prophet here, calculating that my old pig will make great contributions here, so he engraved these two lines of words on the stone tablet in advance, which is really amazing, no, how can this trace be so similar to my old pig?"

Seeing the confusion in everyone's eyes, Sanzang's heart was bright, it seems that two hundred years ago he really experienced a great cause of learning from the scriptures, but somehow suffered a failure, and Wukong was like amnesia, returning to the place where he appeared and waiting for the arrival of the scripture learner, so that we have this westward journey now.

Just when Sanzang was thinking about it, Tianshu suddenly pointed his hand and exclaimed: "Master, there is fog in the forest ahead, strange, how can this fog be pink, it is too terrifying, right?"

As soon as the words came out, all the people were stunned, it was October at the moment, the summer heat had not yet receded, and the weather was not like the autumn scene that night, the temperature difference between morning and evening was too great to allow the fog to fall, and at this moment the sun was close to dusk, and the sun had not yet set, how could there be fog? Besides, even if there was fog, the fog was also colorless water vapor, at most it was a white expanse, how could it be pink, wouldn't it be too fake?

But listening to Tianshu said solemnly, not like a fake, everyone looked at it, one by one stunned, sweating, sure enough, the thorn vines a few miles away in front of them are foggy, but not like the usual water vapor, it is really pink, like the color of peach blossoms, if you smell carefully, it seems to have a faint fragrance of flowers, it is really rare and tight.

Seeing that everyone was intoxicated, he raised his nose and carefully inhaled the fragrance, but Sun Wukong was full of vigilance, and reminded loudly: "This fog is very strange, everyone must be careful and vigilant, don't catch the path of the enemy in the dark." ”

Tang Sanzang nodded, and said with deep sympathy: "Yes, this fog is really weird, I think that there are indeed a few mountain spirits and tree monsters who have cultivated in human form on these eight hundred miles of thorn ridges, and they are good at chanting poems against each other, and they are very elegant, but after two hundred years, I don't know if they have learned to harm people? ”

Bajie was shocked when he heard this, and said in horror: "Master, since the road ahead is dangerous, and it is getting late, and the fog is hazy, we will set up camp to rest, and only wait for the fog to disperse before we can hurry, otherwise we will be so dark and bright, rashly marching, and being ambushed by the monsters in the dark, but we will suffer a big loss." ”

The monkey shook his head and objected: "No, I don't think it's that simple, if it's really the monsters who set up an ambush, then we will only wait for us to fall into the trap before lowering this mist, and take advantage of the fog to launch an attack, you can kill us by surprise, it's not like now, it's really strange that no disaster has happened for so long." I think that the people who descended this red mist are trying to stop us from traveling at night, and find out some of their secrets, and their intentions are very obvious, if according to my old grandson's opinion, if this is the case, just go up and go to the damn thing, and see what these monsters are doing. ”

"After all, this long 800-mile path has only gone less than two percent, if there are really monsters in the forest, where can not be encountered, rather than waiting here for the rabbit, worrying about wasting time, it is better for us to take the initiative to attack, take advantage of the interest to go damn it, as long as we are careful and vigilant, step by step, we may not be able to get those monsters. ”

Sanzang listened to the pondering for a moment, nodded and said: "What Wukong said is not unreasonable, but it is so misty and hazy, and the road ahead is still not clear, but how can he travel?"

Ao Bai didn't think he smiled, and teased: "Master is really old and easy to forget, don't you still have a Xuanguang mirror around your neck, take it out to light the way, it will definitely be able to dispel the fog and block." ”

Sanzang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, it's not that I'm old, but that this mirror has always been used as a fixed light bulb, but I have forgotten its original function, which is really blasphemous. ”

As he spoke, he took the Xuanguang Treasure Mirror from his neck and muttered a mantra, and the mirror rose in the air, emitting a bright and pure light, leading the master and apprentice forward through the heavy pink mist.

Not to mention that although there is a dense fog in this forest, the number of thorn vines has decreased sharply, Sun Wukong stopped and waved his hand to stop everyone: "Master, it seems that you are not bad, but there are indeed people living in the forest, not only the thorn vines have decreased, but the trees beside the road have also been cut down. ”

However, this pink mist is really thick, although the light emitted by the Xuanguang mirror is bright and transparent, it illuminates only a few zhang in front of the range, and then it is a blur, it is difficult to distinguish things, the master and apprentice carefully follow the baby, but see the shadows of the surrounding trees hideous, and there are faint blood stains splashed on many tree roots, this scene is mostly seen in horror and suspense movies, it seems very strange and strange.

Under the deterrence of such a depressing environment, the master and apprentice were very depressed, and they marched forward cautiously and fearfully, and no one could raise the slightest interest in talking, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger, almost to the point of disgusting.

Suddenly, a few screams sounded dozens of meters ahead, although through the thick fog, I vaguely felt that the trees in the forest were shaking violently, as if a few black shadows were rushing towards everyone. Sun Wukong greeted, and the guards behind him quickly plugged in, and surrounded the master and Tianshu in groups, waiting for the battle.

Those black shadows came very fast, getting closer and closer, and it was only a matter of time, two or three figures rushed to the range of the light of the Xuanguang Mirror, and ran in the thick fog for a long time, and suddenly received such a strong light, those people couldn't help but look dark, dizzy, and under the urgency of the situation, they couldn't care much, so they knelt on the ground a few times, and kowtowed loudly and said:" I don't know where the fairy grandfather came, we are the mountain people who are suffering in this thorny ridge, and we have no intention of offending grandpa's treasure, but we are being chased and killed by monsters, panicked, and have no choice but to beg the fairy grandfather to make a big move, and save my life. ”

Sanzang master and apprentice didn't have time to ask carefully, the person chasing behind him had arrived closer, sneered, and said proudly: "The little mountain people are really whimsical, I have been rampant here for hundreds of years, taking people to take blood, and I have never seen anyone dare to come forward to stop it, don't say what kind of fairy grandfather, even if it is the king of heaven Lao Tzu to the lower realm, it is useless, it is to have more people, this boy is worried that there is not enough blood to offer to the master, this time there are enough people to offer, but also less whipped and scolded." But you don't have to run away anymore, and obediently go back with this boy to die. ”

As he spoke, the man burst out of the dense forest, shouted violently, stretched out a few vines and quickly grabbed the back of the hearts of the men, and the coming was fierce and swift as lightning, and it seemed that he was really skillful, and he was accustomed to committing murder.

Not wanting the other party to dare to grab people in front of him, the monkey couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, snorted coldly, and suddenly used the teleportation method, just when the vines were about to catch the hearts of those people, he swung his stick and spun it wantonly, stirring the vines that stretched out quickly into powder. Unexpectedly, the man behind the fog sighed, and the tail of the vine twisted like a poisonous snake with a broken head, and retreated straight.

The man seemed to be very angry, shouted, and roared: "Where did this madman come from, he ate the wolf's heart and leopard's guts, and dared to spoil the good deeds of my second boy Guimei. ”

When the monkey heard this, he sneered, and pointed his stick at him and said: "How dare the clowns of the mountains and forests such as Lianger be so ignorant and run in front of this great sage to shout and provoke, it is really ignorant and fearless." If you want my grandson to be arrested, but I don't know how much means you have, you dare to be so fearless?"

As soon as the words came out, the man behind the fog couldn't help but be furious, and shouted in unison: "Presumptuous, a little monkey, you dare to call yourself a great sage, but what means do you have to resist my blow?"
