Wukong laughed when he heard this, pointed his hand, and said, "Idiot Hugh is talking nonsense, you look at the front piece, but what is it?"
Bajie stretched his neck, really looked at it, and was so frightened that his face was like earth, he bit his fingers and stuck out his tongue and said: "Good girl, alas, I can't be wrong, if it's really this aconitum berry, it can hurt my old pig so hard, but this place is really evil, how can there be this whole piece, how many highly poisonous snakes and insects are stationed here, it's scary to think about." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Everyone looked in the direction he was looking at, and couldn't help but gasp in fright, a few meters away was a bunch of low small shrubs, each small shrub was standing alone on the loess, it was highly poisonous, and there were no weeds within a few feet of the surrounding area. The leaves of the small shrub are thin oval-shaped, very similar to the leaves of the mulberry tree, and those near the top of the leaves grow many small purple-pink flowers, exuding a bewitching and charming eerie fragrance.
Some places on the small shrub have already borne fruit, and the fruit is a small black fruit, similar in appearance to a fresh mulberry fruit, but the color is darker, and the whole body is covered with small bumps, smooth and pleasant, crystal clear, full of the allure of attracting people to eat. However, what is unbelievable is that at the end of the fruit, there are two tentacles, extending outward, gently shaking in the air, and the mouth of the snake stretches out, which makes people shudder to look at.
Such small shrubs, although slightly separated from each other, undoubtedly became the climate, and they were all densely dotted, occupying a large area, full of extremely terrifying, strange and compelling momentum.
Sha Wujing scratched his head, and said unknowingly: "Senior brother, you screamed so loudly and asked us to come out, could it be that you let us appreciate this aconitum berry?"
Wukong shook his head when he heard this, and chuckled: "That's not it, Wujing, you look around with your eyes wide and see what's the difference?"
Wujing really looked at the old man with wide eyes for a long time, and said with a blank expression: "It's no different, it's like there is a lot less grass, and the land seems to be dry." β
Sun Wukong patted his thigh, gave a thumbs up and said: "Hey, I really let you kid say, with the decrease of water, the terrain on the grassland is gradually becoming desertified, and the grass not only grows less, even if there is, there is only a small and short cluster, and it no longer grows to more than half a person as tall as before." β
Seeing that the monkey said it mysteriously, Lao Sha was like in the fog, full of ignorance and said: "This is the case, what does it have to do with us?"
Seeing him so sluggish, Ao Bai gritted his teeth, and said with an expression of hatred: "This idiot, since the grass doesn't grow so tall, naturally it can't hinder us from walking, so we can get out of the boat and walk on our own." β
Lao Sha was even more dizzy when he heard this, and said sweatingly: "Ao Bai, you usually say that I am stupid, but today you are alone, we have our own ship to travel, how can we walk against the scorching sun, seeing that the sun is so violent, I am afraid that if you haven't walked for a few miles, people have already been roasted into jerky." β
Bajie shook his head when he heard this, and said very sadly: "Although you are reasonable, Wujing, but at the moment the heat is unbearable, even if we are hiding in this ship, it is also very hot. Besides, this ship is huge after all, and even if we are tired and have a sore back, we can only travel twenty or thirty miles a day, how slow is it? It is better to take advantage of the darkness and the absence of daylight to drive him all night, and to drive him through this treacherous place as soon as possible. β
Sha Wujing nodded frequently, and said very convincingly: "What the second senior brother said is extremely true, but there are only a lot of aconitum berries in this land, and there are not a few highly poisonous snakes and insects, and they are walking at night, if you accidentally step on it and be bitten by it, how can it be good?"
Wukong waved his hand slightly when he heard this, and said with disdain: "Wujing, you are worried about the sky this time, just a few of us, even if the snakes and insects have great courage, they will not dare to find us easily." If you are worried that it will be dark and ignore the place, there is a Xuanguang treasure mirror on the top of your head, and the snake and insect also have its inevitable trajectory, if you are afraid that it will find you, just walk around the area where the aconitum grows. β
"Besides, don't we still have a lot of elixirs specially given by Li Shan's mother, if my grandson remembers correctly, it also includes drugs for the prevention and control of snake and insect infestation, smear it on the body, ordinary snakes and insects smell the smell, it's too late to escape, how dare you come forward to disturb, it can be guaranteed. As soon as the words came out, Wujing was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground, and only one was left to nod his head and say yes, and there was no other objection.
Seeing this, Tang Sanzang snapped his fingers leisurely, and roared hoarsely: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, hurry up and release the Linglong Pavilion, damn, the sun is so vicious, and it is a shame that you can talk so calmly, and you are not too hot to panic, you really have sunburned this mage." β
However, although the idea is good, the reality is extremely skinny, and it is embarrassing to wait until sunset, and when night falls, the master and apprentice reluctantly walk out of the exquisite pavilion, still facing the west and hitting the road. Thinking that they could finally get rid of the cumbersome and cumbersome grass horse, and to be able to speed up the horse and whip up, and travel lightly, everyone felt happy and enthusiastic in their hearts, and ran more than ten miles in a hurry, only to find that although the prairie at night was not as hot as the daytime sun exposure, it was also extremely hot, and there was no trace of wind in the air.
The wide ground is like a huge furnace, but it bakes all the creatures on it, several people are hot and sweaty, stretching out their tongues and panting, the strength of their bodies seems to be left with the flow of sweat in their bodies, the whole body is soft, and it feels like it is going to be roasted by the heat, and it can't raise the slightest interest and passion to hurry.
If it weren't for the fact that this was already the coolest and most suitable time of the day for hurrying, a few people really wanted to open the Linglong Pavilion immediately and hide in it for a good rest. Now they can only endure the heat of their bodies, step by step, reluctantly moving forward.
At this time, Sun Wukong squatted down suddenly, took out the Ruyi golden hoop stick from his ear, shook it casually and held it in his hand, pointed obliquely at the ground and shook it incessantly, and kept muttering to himself in his mouth, that posture was really a little ridiculous.
Seeing the monkey suddenly, Bajie stopped, couldn't help but feel confused, shrugged his shoulders instead, and said with a smile: "This monkey thought it was hot and confused, so he actually took out a stick to dig the ground, thinking that he wanted to dig a hole to rest in the cold." β
Angry at the pig's head's cynicism, Wujing gritted his teeth, and said angrily: "The second senior brother is talking nonsense, the senior brother is a god of heaven, and this behavior must have a deep meaning, I think I suddenly felt it, I felt the underground water, and I wanted to dig a spring for us to cool off." β
Ao Bai sneered when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Wujing, this sycophant, does not forget to advocate for the stinky monkey wherever he goes, although he has some miracles, but he is not like my background in the Four Seas Clan, how can he have the ability to perceive the flow of water out of thin air? β
Having said that, everyone looked at Sun Wukong, who was still reciting words, and couldn't help but look at each other, looking at each other speechlessly, obediently, if the monkey is not to fish for something in the ground, then what is his intention at this moment?
At this moment, Sun Wukong suddenly stopped, and when he got up, his face was puzzled, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he snorted coldly at everyone: "These few things that don't have long eyes, don't be foolish if you don't see it, don't you see that this is the standard posture of detaining the land? β
As soon as the words came out, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Wukong, what you said is extremely true, you should ask the truth, but looking at your expression, it seems that you can't come to that land?"
Wukong's face was slightly red when he heard this, scratched his head, and said very shamelessly: "Good girl, this spell has been tried and tested since I learned it, and it has been unpleasant, how can it be used today, but it is useless, could it be that on this grassland with a radius of 100 miles, there is not even a piece of land?"
As he was talking, he only felt that something seemed to be surging and swaying under the stratum, but it only took a moment to arch upward, and the yellow sand splashed everywhere, rushing up to a person, turning back and forth a few times, as if suddenly losing strength, and kneeling on the ground.
This came down extremely abruptly, everyone was stunned, and they all looked at it, only to see that the person who came looked so strange: the whole body was red and black and shiny, like fried old fritters, he was skinny, his hair was fluffy and gray, the bridge of his nose was firm, and his eyes were red and shiny, as if he was a demon drilled out of hell.
Sun Wukong couldn't help but sneer, holding a stick in his hand, pointing forward, and shouting: "Who dares to offend my Sanzang Army, but don't you know that your great sage grandfather is here?"
Seeing that the monkey stepped forward to fight, the strange man was so frightened that his face was like earth (it was originally quite black), and he was already prostrate on the ground, but now he was even more paralyzed on the ground, and he kowtowed vigorously and said: "The great sage grandpa is angry, I am not a hairy ghost and evil god, I am the land on the original fire for two hundred miles, and I was called by the great sage, and I am still a hundred miles away, so I hurried here, offended the majesty of the great sage, and begged for forgiveness." β
