Chapter 22: Liberation or Transcendence
"If the master wants to help, then help, hehe." Sun Wukong seems to have never acted rightly in front of Tang Seng.
Well, in front of people with a higher status than him, it seems to be like this.
In the face of Tang Seng is, in the face of Guanyin is, in the face of Rulai is also. If he faced Zhu Bajie, he would not be like this.
Just like now, Zhu Bajie stepped forward to interject, and was pushed away by Sun Wukong, and sent him away.
It is said that Zhu Bajie always speaks ill of Sun Wukong in front of Tang Seng, like an old fritter in the workplace. Sun Wukong looks at people like this, he will say that there is always a reason for thinking about it.
"That princess is so terrible-looking, her face is blue-gray, and her eyes are blood-red." Zhu Bajie advised.
Zhu Bajie is a sleek person and doesn't want to get involved in this matter.
As the princess left, she glanced in their direction. Others didn't notice, but Zhu Bajie did.
It's good that he likes beauties, but the princess doesn't look like a human anymore, and she can't describe it better with her green face and fangs.
"Master, or we won't get involved."
Zhu Bajie felt that their master and apprentice only needed to protect Tang Seng well, and it was best not to mix other things, otherwise when would they be able to reach the West Heaven to learn scriptures.
Sun Wukong was originally interested in this matter, and met Jin Xiongxiong on the street last night, for these two reasons, he said that he would not agree to Zhu Bajie's words, "You are a nerd, the master has said that the monks are compassionate, how can you only care about yourself and others." ”
Sun Wukong pulled Tang Seng out and scolded Zhu Bajie back, "Go, it's not your turn to call the shots." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Tang Seng.
Tang Seng is a son of Buddha, and when he meets a resentful soul, he naturally has a heart to help. It's just that Zhu Bajie also said that the princess described horror, and he was still a little scared.
"Wukong, you can be sure." Tang Seng asked Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong smiled, and waved his hairy hand, "Don't worry, master, you, follow us tonight." Then we will catch her, and you will recite the death spell to the princess. ”
Tang monk Xitian learned the scriptures, and took the true scriptures. Before taking the scriptures, Datang actually already had Buddhist scriptures, and there were mantras for the afterlife, but they didn't have the advanced level of Da Lei Yin Temple. Exceeding a revenant princess, Tang Seng thought about it and felt that it was feasible, so he agreed.
In the corner of the room, Zhu Bajie saw that Tang Seng was led astray by Sun Wukong, sighed, threw off his sleeves, and faced the wall speechlessly.
Sun Wukong has an impatient temperament, which can be seen from the trouble in the sky. Zhu Bajie thought that he could eat him to death, but he didn't expect that he was also a smooth person, and he would please Tang Seng.
He was in a mixed mood for a while.
Zhu Bajie's idea was actually right in the original. Sun Wukong is impatient, he doesn't care about anything, and he is always bored by Tang Seng, the boss.
But that's just before, it's different now.
He figured it out a lot, but he didn't go into much detail about what it was.
Here, Tang Seng and his apprentices are ready to set off again at night, catch the princess's soul, and then be reborn.
Over there, Jin Xiongxiong returned to the inn and was surrounded by the little monsters.
After being booed and asked for warmth, the little brothers quieted down, and she calmed down a bit, "Huh, there are also bad things about taking the little brother out to travel." ”
Jiaolong laughed at her from the side, "I will go back to our respective rooms with them first, so that the humans will not find out about our strangeness." ”
Whether humans know their identities or not, the dragons and little monsters don't really mind. But the Golden Bear said it was best not to disturb the humans, so they did so carefully.
"Okay." Jin Xiongxiong nodded and sent them all out the door.
"Let's go, close the door." Jiaolong said to her before leaving.
Hearing this, Jin Xiongxiong closed the door lightly. When she returned to the house, she was relieved and fell back on the bed.
I'm tired, I'm tired from going out, I've been nervous, and she can't stand it.
The inn wouldn't open so early, so she closed her eyes and planned to rest for a while.
Rested for nearly an hour.
Jin Xiongxiong was woken up by Xiao Er's voice.
The shopkeeper reminded her to have breakfast downstairs.
Jin Xiongxiong tilted his head and answered, "Okay." ”
Hearing the answer from inside the house, the dark shadow outside the door disappeared, and Xiao Er thought that he was going to call the others.
Jin Xiongxiong lay down for a while before he stood up.
After sleeping, her black robe was wrinkled. Jin Xiongxiong frowned and cast a spell, and the black robe on his body was as neat as ever.
When she went out, she met Jiaolong and her younger brothers in the corridor.
Jin Xiong nodded at them and went downstairs together.
The shopkeeper had already gotten up, and was tapping with an abacus behind the cabinet, and saw them come downstairs to say hello, "Ouch, a few guest officers are up." Little two, quick, breakfast. ”
Now there are not many guests in the inn, only a dozen of them, and the shopkeeper has no other guests to entertain, so they are naturally warm, "Did you sleep well yesterday?" ”
"It's good, the shopkeeper got up early." Jin Xiongxiong stepped forward to talk, changing the topic by the way.
"Not early, not early, those people outside get up earlier."
The shopkeeper runs an inn and lives a good life, but the people outside who have no assets are too difficult to sustain, and they are angry earlier than ordinary people.
If you don't do things early and don't have food, it's hard for people who live in the desert.
Jin Xiongxiong followed the shopkeeper's words and looked out the door.
Many stalls outside the door have been erected and can be used to entertain guests. This looks like getting up early in the morning and opening the stall early.
Living in such a rich land as Datang may not be enough for everyone. In a desert country like Loulan, it will only be more difficult for the people to have food and clothing.
In this world, everyone has its own difficulties.
The gods and demons fell, and many rare magic weapons fell with spiritual plants.
Immortal cultivation is far less fast than before. The demon cultivators and ghost cultivators in the earth realm are not as fast as before.
Human beings, it is also difficult to live.
Jin Xiongxiong thought about it, and his mind was a little confused for a while.
She thinks she wants to save the world, but it's so difficult for human monsters to live, so what's the talk of saving.
Can she feed humans?
When humanity is full, will there be no war when it is full?
There will be wars in the demon world, the ghost world, and the fairy world, and there will be a lot of wars in the human world.
Jin Xiongxiong sat down at the table under Xiao Er's guidance, lowering his eyebrows and not knowing what he was thinking.
The shopkeeper saw that she seemed to be thinking about something, so he didn't bother, and after greeting Xiao Er to eat, he went back to work.
Breakfast was quickly served, and a steamed bun was handed over in front of Jin Xiongxiong's eyes, which was a white-flour steamed bun.
She looked up with her hand and saw Jiaolong smiling in this direction, and the smile was very gentle.
"What do you want to do so much? It's the right thing to eat first. "Jiaolong is kind and comforting.
Jin Xiongxiong is not a person who likes to drill the horns, blinked, put aside those troubles, and laughed too.
She took the steamed bun, opened her mouth and took a big bite, chewed it and swallowed it into her stomach.
"You're right, we'll talk about it later, and it's only right to solve the immediate matter first."
Saving the common people or something, the task is too heavy, and she may not be able to complete it.
It's so hard, let's take it one step at a time. As for whether it can be done in the end, it depends on the sky.
"The steamed buns are quite delicious."
Just now, she still looked like she was going to drill the horns, but now she is in the mood to taste whether the steamed buns are delicious or not. Jiaolong Bei shook his head.
"Eat more if it's delicious, and see if it's different from what you make."
Speaking of which, Jin Xiongxiong hasn't made steamed buns for her yet. Jiaolong paused and thought.
After breakfast, Jin Xiongxiong took the initiative to renew the room with the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper thought that they were passing through Loulan, and left soon after breakfast, but they didn't think that they would continue to live.
The shopkeeper was naturally happy to have more income, and he continued the room for them without asking the reason.
Finished breakfast. Jin Xiongxiong took his younger brothers to visit the ancient city of Loulan.
They were ostensibly shopping, but in fact, after shopping, they asked the vendor and tried to test the aunt, wanting to know more about the princess from their mouths.
Compared to Sun Wukong, who wanted to catch the princess and then overtook her, Jin Xiongxiong wanted to release her from the coffin.
No one knew where the princess's ice coffin was placed, so they could only slowly look for clues and find them one by one at night.
The princess was never at fault, she didn't hurt anyone.
The most out of control time she didn't hurt the child, but left in a panic.
It is not her wish to become a resentful spirit.
Jin Xiongxiong had no way to avenge her, so he could only find a way to let her out.
She believed that even if the princess was released, it would not cause trouble in the world.
What I didn't do before when I endured and endured it, I won't do it when I'm released and free.
Time passed quickly.
Night is coming.
The shopkeeper, like the night before, once again told Jin Xiong Xiong that they should not go out at night, but as for the noodles, there were no more.
The younger brothers thought he was coming back, but they didn't think they would come.
"Do you think the shopkeeper is like you and can't control his desires?" Jin Xiongxiong had long expected that the shopkeeper would not come, so he said casually.
Yokai, like humans, have absolutely strong desires. The difference is that human beings are naturally more patient and restrained.
The shopkeeper has already rubbed noodles once, and he will never come again for the sake of face.
Listening to Jin Xiongxiong's words, the younger brothers scratched their heads a little confusedly. They thought she was scolding them, and they wanted to explain something, but they couldn't say anything when they opened their mouths.
The little monsters are a little sad, and the noodles don't smell like they used to be.
Jin Xiongxiong didn't scold them, but he didn't explain it. Tonight's task is intense and complicated, and it's good that they don't jump out of the way.
After eating the noodles, as they had done yesterday, they gathered again in the golden room.
Tonight, the little monsters don't have to stay in their rooms.
"Let's all work together tonight, and it's best to find the princess's coffin before dawn. Otherwise, it will be troublesome. Jin Xiongxiong made a final admonition.
That princess has been locked up for so long, she must have subconsciously distrusted anyone. Even if they told her to help her, she wouldn't believe it.
Not only will they not believe it, but they may even fight them.
The last time he said he was going to help her, he killed her after gaining her trust. It was clear that the immortal had the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, but she watched her subjects being killed by the rebels. After all those heart-wrenching betrayals, will she ever trust others again?
Obviously, it won't.
She is a resentful spirit, the former patron saint of Loulan, and she will be soft-hearted to the descendants of her former subjects, and she will definitely be willing to kill them as outsiders.
She didn't want the little monsters to lose their lives because of negligence.
The little monsters also knew the seriousness of the matter, and nodded again and again, promising to do their best to find the princess's ice coffin.
"Okay, then, let's go." After speaking, Jin Xiongxiong glanced at them one last time, and jumped from the window first.
The windows of the inn are small, and you can only pass through one yokai at a time.
A dozen youkai came out, and it took about three quarters of an hour.
Maybe it's because there are more people and it's slower to travel. Jin Xiongxiong and they went to the stargazing tower with laughter, and when they arrived, Tang Seng and his apprentices were already there.
Tang Seng is mortal in the flesh, if he is caught by the resentful spirit, it is enough to choke. Jin Xiongxiong didn't understand why Sun Wukong brought him out.
She furrowed her brow.
On the stargazing tower, the princess's ghost was no longer wearing the armor that had been on the city tower last night, but a red wedding dress. A wedding dress with Western Regions characteristics.
She spun around and laughed, her face human-like, "Hee-hee-hee." ”
She has a carefree voice and a lovely figure.
Zhu Bajie was originally very resistant, but now he is indeed the most stunned.
