Chapter Thirty-Nine: Demons Harm People
The weather was cool and the road was good, and the Sanzang army marched all the way, walking through this desolate and silent suburb of the city, only to finally see a house standing. The low thatched house in front of him, although it was simple and vulgar, sparse and ordinary, in Tang Sanzang's eyes, it was tantamount to a reassuring pill, as if he had come all the way from hell, and finally knew that he was in the world, such a warm and safe feeling made people feel extremely comfortable. So even though the night is hazy at this moment, and the doors and windows of every house are closed, under the light of the Xuanguang mirror, the Sanzang army marches quietly and steadily, feeling extremely steady.
At this moment, a terrible scream suddenly sounded under the quiet and peaceful night sky, like thunder on the ground, instantly breaking this warm and peaceful atmosphere, followed by a heart-wrenching cry, so miserable and miserable, painful. At this moment, the Sanzang Army, which was still intoxicated by the warm and sweet atmosphere, was shocked when it heard the sound, and after the initial panic, it began to distribute countermeasures in an orderly manner: Sun Wukong danced the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick in his hand, and hurriedly fell to the cloud with Sha Wujing, and galloped towards the source of the cry, leaving Bajie and Ao Bai with weapons in their hands, guarding both sides of the master and Tianshu with a guarded face, slowly advancing.
A few seconds later, under the calm night sky in front of him, the swords and sticks collided, punches and kicks, and it seemed that the score was extraordinarily fierce, and then a terrible howl like a dragon and a tiger roared suddenly, and a gust of demonic wind blew indiscriminately, gradually leading towards the west. Tang Sanzang's face was pale, and he hurriedly took a group of disciples to reinforcements.
Under the bright starry sky, an oil lamp was lit, Sha Wujing held a chain of tin canes, standing alone outside the low thatched house, the body of a strong iron man, I don't know whether he was excited or afraid, he seemed to be a little trembling. There was a woman squatting in the room, hiding her face with her hands, crying incessantly, and the cry contained infinite sadness and sadness, which made people feel sad. In front of the young woman lay a corpse, which looked like a young man, and at this moment it was like a dead tree and mud, its whole body was wrinkled, its flesh and blood were blurred, and its death was very tragic.
Looking at such a terrifying and bloody scene, Tang Sanzang was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he weakly pointed to the corpse and said, "This, what's going on?"
Seeing that it was the master, Sha Wujing, who was full of vigilance, respectfully gave a salute, endured the grief and indignation in his heart, and said with desolation: "I was sucked away by that monster, and my soul is scattered at this moment, and there is a stinky skin bag left, which is useless." ”
Tang Sanzang was taken aback, only to feel the gust of wind on his back, and couldn't help but shudder, so hated that his face was red, and he roared angrily: "Who is the monster who is so cruel, mad, and angry, if you catch it, you will definitely break him into pieces, to thank the world." ”
Wujing nodded and said respectfully: "Senior brother went to chase him, leave me to protect this lady." ”
At this time, the woman stopped crying faintly, looked up at the people in Sanzang, knelt down and saluted: "Thank you for the elders' rescue, otherwise the little woman is afraid that she will also die with her deceased husband's life, but the deceased husband's death is too miserable, unrecognizable, the little woman implores the holy monk to take pity on the world, eliminate the demons and defend the way, and never indulge the demons to harm the world." ”
"Female donor, please rest assured, it is my Buddhist duty to eliminate demons and defend the way, and the poor monks must do their best to kill demons and demons, and return the world to a clear mind. Hearing such a crying plea, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but burst into tears, his fists clenched at the moment, and his words were sonorous.
"Madame, please, the monks don't speak, since the master said such words, he will definitely do his best to fulfill his promise, and please take care of her health. Pity Qixin for losing her husband and being helpless, Wen Tianshu leaned down with a sad heart and helped the woman up.
"This benefactor, I don't know if you see what kind of monster it is, it is so fierce and cruel, it is outrageous. Bajie took out the white jade glasses from his arms, put them on slowly, pretending to be a censor, and said word by word.
"I was in a dream, the night was hazy, I couldn't see it really, but I saw it like a ghost, like a fox, tall and fierce, but like an ape, I really don't know what kind of monster it was. The woman's face was full of sorrow, and she wiped away her tears, and answered.
"Madam, you are mistaken, that ape is my senior brother, I look at the strange running around, it looks like a dog spirit, but the strange thing is that he is dragging a few snake-like things behind his back, but I don't know what it is?" Sha Wujing shook his head and waved his hand.
"Damn, one of you says it looks like a fox, it looks like a monkey, and you say it looks like a dog, why is there such a big difference? Bajie's head was big when he heard this, and he said helplessly.
"I can see clearly, that sharp mouth is short, isn't it just a dog kiss, can this be wrong?" Sha Wujing glared at a pair of ringed eyes and replied with a big sting.
"Not necessarily, the fox's mouth is also pointy, very similar to a dog, Wujing, the night is hazy, you can't judge just by feeling it for a while. Angry at Wujing's arbitrariness, Ao Bai expressed a different opinion.
"That's right, listening to the whistling sound, it does look like a fox, then a few behind it should be fox tails, well, it turned out to be a nine-tailed fox. Sha Wujing patted his head and suddenly realized.
"Wo, Wujing, can you speak accurately, a dog spirit, a fox, you should be a vegetable market to buy vegetables, but where are so many nine-tailed foxes?" Bajie said a little wildly.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, Sun Wukong fell steadily from the clouds, shook his head and said: "Bajie, don't scold Wujing, that guy is really the head of the nine-tailed fox, my old Sun chased him all the way to the city gate, and he used a smoke method to turn into the city, and lost it." ”
Bajie was shocked when he heard this, and said sweatily: "Damn, it's really the head nine-tailed fox, Brother Monkey, let him run away with your means, that guy is not simple." ”
The monkey scratched his head, waved his hand very shamelessly, and said: "My old grandson injured his arm, and when he was about to arrest him, the rockets on the city fired a salvo and blocked me back, which is really unlucky." ”
Then he asked the woman again: "This benefactor, I have come to ask you, why do you leave the iron gate of the Xiongcheng City not to live, but run away to this wilderness, and in vain to harm the monster?"
The woman swept away her tears and said quietly: "Elder, you don't know, we escaped from that city, at first it was a monster in the city, we waited to avoid disaster here, planting vegetables and picking wood, who would have thought that the happy days would be short after all, in this wilderness, far away from the city, my husband still can't escape the doom, only pity me left alone and lonely, how can I live in the future?"
Bajie heard the sour feeling in his heart, and accompanied her to shake his head and wipe his tears, and wondered: "I don't know what the origin of that monster is, it is so unscrupulous to harm people, is there no way for the gods to come and take him away?"
The woman sighed, and said in a quiet tone: "That monster appeared about two hundred years ago, usually only came out on the night of the full moon to harm people, and then disappeared. Many cultivators tried their best to get rid of him, but they couldn't defeat him, and they were inexplicably harmed by him. ”
"It's two hundred years ago, grandma's, why is everything related to two hundred years ago, it's really evil, it's good now, there are blue-haired lion spirits, broken military stars, and a nine-tailed fox ran out halfway, it's really fatal, now I began to believe in the warning of the god of the sun, everyone is going to the country of black chickens, or be careful. Tang Sanzang's head widened when he heard this, and he groaned helplessly.
