Chapter 14 The Vegetarian Nation

Previous Chapter

"Vegetarian country, tsk, it sounds like a clear soup with little water." Sun Wukong glanced at the words on the stone tablet and smacked his mouth.

Tang Seng praised, "The people of this country must be very kind, Wukong, we monks are vegetarians, and don't you only love fruits?" ”

"I'm just used to eating fruit, and besides, you chattered for days last time you caught a fish, how dare I eat it again?" Sun Wukong said dissatisfied.

Tang Seng was so choked by Sun Wukong that he was so angry that he stopped talking.

"Master, there's a Zhuangzi in front of us, let's go and rest." Seeing that the two beautiful men were arguing again, Bai Ma hurriedly came out of the round.

"Okay." Tang Seng sat stiff on his horse, and he knew how uncomfortable the little white dragon was, so he immediately agreed.

A few people entered the border of the vegetarian country and found it very desolate, with no vendors or pedestrians on the streets, and the doors of every house were closed, only the sound of whipping and screaming came from the barren mountains in the distance.

Sun Wukong was about to go over to inquire, but a small door on the side of the road suddenly opened, and an old woman with a wrinkled face couldn't help but drag Tang Seng into the door.

Sun Wukong and Bai Ma hurriedly followed, and saw that there was a very large pigsty inside, and several old people were busy taking care of those pigs, and they looked very strange.

The old woman closed the door and whispered, "You're a foreigner, aren't you?" ”

"Old man, we are monks from the Tang Dynasty in the East who want to go to the West to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures, why are you so barren here?"

"In our vegetarian country, young people have to go to work in the fields, and we old people who can't do it are raising pigs here to be more idle. If I hadn't dragged you in, you would have been arrested by the officers and soldiers to work!" The old woman said.

"Thank you for your kindness." Tang Seng said.

Sun Wukong interjected, "Since it is a vegetarian country, why do you still raise so many pigs?" ”

"Pigs are the most noble animals in our country, and they can't be eaten!" The old woman said nervously.

Old Wu Tou also interjected, "Killing pigs and eating pigs is a capital crime for us!" Last year, Lao Liu slaughtered a pig in a greedy manner, and was beheaded by officers and soldiers on the spot..."

The old woman hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, why do you tell the elders about this, it's weird and scary, in short, you remember that these pigs must not move!" ”

"Amitabha," Tang Seng said compassionately, "I thought that the vegetarian country was full of kind-hearted people, but I didn't expect that this place is lenient with animals, but cruel to people." ”

Sun Wukong couldn't help but say, "You don't want to be nosy, right?" Don't forget that we still have to learn from it! ”

"Learning from the scriptures is important, but the monks are compassionate, so how can we sit idly by? Besides, you have to find the king to seal the customs clearance documents, and interceding with him is also a gesture. ”

"This king is cruel and unkind, can he listen to you? I'm afraid that if you say a few more words, not only will the customs clearance document not be covered, but we will also be arrested! Sun Wukong said unceremoniously.

Tang Seng's face suddenly turned long, "I have made up my mind, you don't have to say it anymore!" ”

Sun Wukong looked unconvinced, and said in his heart, what else can you, a monk, do you have besides nagging? I got into trouble, and in the end, it wasn't my grandson who wiped your ass after he was busy? Without me, a hundred lives would not be enough for you! Who do you want to show your face?

Sun Wukong muttered in his heart, but he didn't say it, in case Tang Seng was in a hurry, a tight spell was not fun.

When it was time to have dinner, the old people prepared a table of rich vegetarian dishes for Tang Seng and his party, although there was no oil and water, it was already very good for Tang Seng and his apprentices who were sleeping in the open air, and the two of them were still satisfied.

In ancient times, there was no way to entertain, and it was dark after dinner, Tang Seng chatted with a few old people for a while, and then washed and lay down, he was very tired all the way, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

Sun Wukong is the opposite, he doesn't need to sleep at all as a fairy stone, don't look at him lying there as if he is asleep, in fact, he is just making a show, he has never fallen asleep at all, as soon as there is any movement outside, he can hear it immediately.

For example, the sound of a few sneaky footsteps outside the door has not escaped his ears now.

"Holy monk? Elder Sun? The old woman whispered outside the door.

"Xiaocui, don't worry, I added ingredients to the porridge, they must be asleep, let's go in quickly, the water will be cold for a while." Old Wu Tou said.

With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and seven or eight old men staggered in against the wall, holding ropes, axes and other things in their hands, which looked a little ridiculous, but what they said made people shudder.

"Which one to eat first?" Old Wu Tou's words were amazing.

"That Tang Seng is weak and weak, and it is estimated that he will not be able to make any waves, so he will eat his apprentice first, tie Tang Seng to the firewood room, and wait for the next time to eat." The old woman said.

Lao Wu suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, I heard that Tang Seng said that the head of the scriptures is the Tao, maybe he really has some ability, and can help us bring down the pig demon?" Why don't you keep them first? ”

The corners of the old woman's mouth twitched, and she said disdainfully, "You can get it, so you can't resist a little sweat medicine, and you can still subdue demons?" Let them go this time, when will they have to wait until the next time they eat meat? Wait for you to die and eat you? ”

"No, I'm going to live a few more years! You have a point, I overestimated them, and there is a horse in the backyard, which is enough for us to eat for a long time. Old Wu was overjoyed.

Sun Wukong heard it clearly, the hairs on his body stood on end, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really couldn't have imagined that these old people would do cannibalism? It's really hard to draw the skin of a tiger and paint the bones, and you don't know the face but you don't know the heart!

Sun Wukong secretly said in his heart, if he killed a few old people now, Tang Seng would not spare him, nor would he believe his words, he had to let him see it with his own eyes, thinking about this, Sun Wukong simply closed his eyes and was at the mercy of others.

The old people first tied Tang Seng with a strong knot, and then Lao Wu raised the axe and cut it down on Sun Wukong's neck, Sun Wukong used his mana, and his whole head moved, and he fell to the ground with a grunt.

"Why isn't there a drop of blood?" Everyone wondered.

It's too bad, Sun Wukong hurriedly used a trick to conjure up a pool of blood, the old people were relieved, only Lao Wu was a little strange, when did he have such a strong strength to cut off a person's head without any effort?

The old people tossed for a long time before transporting the two to the yard, all tired and sweating profusely.

"Xiaocui, these two people are too heavy, the firewood room is so far away, we really can't move it, or wait until tomorrow." Lao Wu said.

"Okay, let's cook this surnamed Sun first, we have to be busy for a while tonight." The old woman is humane.

There was a stove in the yard, and there was a fire burning in it, and on top of it was a large pot that usually cooked for pigs, and this pot was deep and wide, enough to fit a person into it, and at this time the soup inside was boiling loudly, and the fragrance of side dishes and seasonings wafted out, and the thought of finally being able to eat meat made everyone's greedy saliva flow.

The old people talked about it, "If you don't pull a few mouths first, otherwise it won't taste good." ”

"I have to go to the internal organs or something, the intestines are not clean, and the gallbladder will be bitter."

"Do you think he's Lao Liu? The meat is old and bitter, this thin skin and tender meat must be fragrant no matter how you eat it! ”

"Nonsense, the bitterness of meat is because..."

"Alright, okay, stop arguing!" The old woman said, "If you don't taste it, boil it for two more days, and quickly throw him into the pot for me, if you're not hungry, I'm still hungry, and then I'll stew you all in a rambling way!" ”

The old woman spoke very authoritatively, and when she said this, everyone was so scared that everyone didn't dare to say anything anymore, if it weren't for her sharp eyes to see it clearly, Sun Wukong even suspected that this old lady was a monster.

"What about this?" Lao Wu asked while holding Sun Wukong's head.

"The soy sauce in the brain is also very fragrant, all of it is cooked, and the leftovers are fed to the pigs, so that the pigs can also enjoy the blessings." The old woman is humane.

"That's not possible, if Lao Zhang sees it, he won't be scared to death, he is as bold as a mouse, the last time he saw Lao Liu being beheaded, he was scared of heart disease, let alone cannibalism." Old Wu said with disdain.

The old woman was dissatisfied, "I have long seen that he is not pleasing to the eye, and every time I open a meat dish I have to avoid him, what is he?" If it weren't for the fact that I had watched him work well, I would have kicked him out and scared him to death. ”

"I'm relieved to have you say this, I thought you didn't have an old love for Lao Zhang, and you still wanted him!" Lao Wu said with a smile.

"You old immortal, how many years ago did it happen, and you still mention it now?" The old woman angrily took her arm and slapped Lao Wu.

Lao Wu joked, "It's not me who said, our Xiaocui was also one of the best beauties back then, if it weren't for Lao Zhang, you would have become a princess a long time ago, how could you suffer with us here?" You tell me the truth, don't you regret not marrying the king back then, and following Lao Zhang, a waste? ”

As soon as they heard this, all the old men cheered up, and even Sun Wukong, who was stewed in the iron pot, stunned his ears.

The old woman laughed and said, "How could I have looked down on that dead fat pig back then?" Even death will not marry him! Now I want to regret it, but people don't look down on me! ”

The old men burst out laughing.
