Although Sanzang had never experienced such a battle, he did not panic in the slightest.

However, as soon as the servant was lifted into the air, he shouted in fright, and finally there was a burst of fishy anger on his body.

Soon after, the shadow plunged headlong into the cave in the belly of the mountain, throwing them on the ground and then setting the horses aside.

"It's so good, I went out and caught two Tang people, this is a rare blood food."

Sanzang struggled to raise his head, and looked through the light of the fire in the cave, only to realize that the two were captured by a monster with a tiger head and a human body.

Seeing this, Sanzang did not panic: "This king, I am a monk who went to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures on the order of the king of Tang. If Your Majesty knows that we have been killed by you, you will definitely raise a large army to raze your cave to the ground, so it is better to let us go west. ”

Tang Sanzang originally thought that after moving out of the Tang Dynasty, the monster would let him go.

Who would have thought that the monster would be overjoyed when he heard that he was a Tang monk: "You are Tang Sanzang, a monk Tang Seng who traveled west to learn scriptures?" ”

Sanzang nodded: "Exactly, so please raise your noble hand to the king." ”

The monster laughed when he heard this: "It's really a creation! What a creation! Who would have thought that Tang Sanzang would fall into my hands! ”

After speaking, he circled around Tang Seng twice: "I heard that eating your meat is not only better than a thousand years of cultivation, but also immortal." I have practiced for nearly a thousand years, but I have not completely become a human body, and since you have sent it to the door today, it is the fulfillment of heaven for me! ”

Tang Seng was shocked when he heard this: "King, I am a mortal fetus in the flesh, where do I have that ability?" ”

"Of course you don't have this ability, it's your flesh that does. A few days ago, I heard that you are a good person who cultivates in the tenth life, and you can live forever by eating a piece of your meat, and I don't want to let me encounter this kind of good thing today. ”

Hearing this, Sanzang was even more surprised: "The king Hugh has to listen to rumors, my meat is not eaten." ”

The tiger demon waved his hand a little impatiently: "If you can't eat it, you have to eat it after all." Today, I'll fill my stomach with him first, and then when your body is clean in a few days, then steam it and eat it slowly! ”

After saying that, he grabbed the servant, opened his bloody mouth and bit off his head.

Seeing the tiger demon gnawing on the corpse of the servant, instead of being afraid, Sanzang gritted his teeth and said: "Monster, if you harm people's lives for no reason, aren't you afraid that the heavenly court will condemn you?" ”

The tiger demon looked at Sanzang with some surprise: "How many beasts you kill every year are safe and sound, and if I eat a few people, I will harm people's lives, where does the reason come from?" Without further ado, I'll enjoy it when your belly is clean in a few days! ”

After speaking, he put aside the half-eaten corpse, tied Tang Seng to the stone pillar with a rope, and walked to the deepest stone bed to fall asleep.

As for the two horses, the youkai didn't even care, and let them walk in the cave.

Looking at the corpse of the servant, Sanzang secretly wept, originally wanted to take it to Lingshan to cultivate a positive result, who wanted to lose his life just after leaving the Tang Dynasty.

Just when Sanzang was sad, he suddenly noticed a figure flashing in front of him, and a man in a monk's robe with his hair tied appeared in front of him.

The man stretched out his hand and pointed, and the rope on Sanzang's body broke off.

Then he beckoned into the distance, and the two horses came towards them with a clatter.

I don't know if the man used any tricks, although he tossed in the cave, but the tiger-headed monster still fell asleep and didn't wake up.

The man led Tang Sanzang and the horses out of the monster cave and went down the mountain to a small road, and then stopped: "Tang Sanzang, you can follow this road all the way to the west, and you can reach the main road after dawn." ”

Sanzang Shili said: "Thank you for saving Engong, may I ask Engong's surname?" ”

"I am a Hui'an practitioner under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea, and the Bodhisattva knows that you have this difficulty, so he specially ordered me to come to the rescue."

Sanzang heard the words and saluted again: "Tang Sanzang visited the walker, but I don't know why the walker let go of the tiger demon?" ”

Hui'an walker smiled slightly: "The Buddha said that sweeping the floor does not hurt the lives of ants, and cherishes the moth gauze lamp, not to mention the creatures who have been cultivated." ”

Hui An's words shocked Tang Seng: "Walker, the tiger demon doesn't know how many lives have been harmed here, if you let it go, I don't know how many more killings will be committed." ”

"Sanzang rest assured, if the cause and effect come, he will definitely die. It's not early, hurry up, there are people waiting for you ahead. ”

Sanzang was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to ask who was waiting for him in front, but saw that Hui'an Walker had already driven the clouds into the air.

In desperation, he had to bow three times to the air, then turned on his horse and continued westward.

When the sky was twilight, Tang Sanzang finally saw the big road in the mouth of Hui'an Walker, and there was a small village with dozens of families on the side of the road.

Outside a small courtyard at the east end of the village, Sanzang tied his two horses to graze under a tree, while he fell asleep against the courtyard gate.

When he was sleeping soundly, he felt his body shake suddenly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the courtyard door was half-open, and a white-haired old man was looking at him with a look of surprise.

Seeing this, Sanzang hurriedly got up: "Old man, the poor monk is polite. ”

The old man also saluted: "This elder, why didn't he enter the house, but he slept here?" ”

"It's just dawn, I'm afraid that my uncle won't wake up from a sound sleep, so I don't dare to disturb."

The old man laughed: "Where did the elder come from?" Hurry up, please come in, and let the old man entertain one or two. ”

After speaking, he pulled Tang Sanzang to the courtyard, and shouted at the room that the monk was here.

Knowing that Sanzang is not fishy, the old man's wife specially washed and washed the pots and pans, and worked until the three poles of the day to make a table of vegetarian food.

Looking at the sumptuous meal, Sanzang couldn't help but nod: It seems that the people of Xiniu Hezhou are no worse than Datang.

After the meal, Sanzang wanted to set off immediately, but because he hadn't slept all night last night, he felt very sleepy.

Knowing that Sanzang was going to Lingshan to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures, the old man persuaded him to rest for a day before leaving, after all, it was not a day's work to go to the west.

Under the repeated retention of the old man, Sanzang reluctantly agreed.

The old man just wanted to lead Sanzang to rest, but he saw a dark cloud floating in the east, mixed with gusts of wind.

There was still about a mile away from the village, the dark clouds stopped coming, and a monster with a tiger head and a human body showed its shape: "Tang Sanzang, come out quickly and return to the cave with me, otherwise the village will be slaughtered!" ”

Hearing this, Sanzang secretly complained about Hui'an Walker, if he had stabbed this demon last night, where would there be anything now?

Although this village is not large, there are more than 200 people, if the people lose their lives because of themselves, how can they get it?

Thinking of this, Sanzang walked out, but was pulled by the old man: "Where is the elder?" ”

"Old man, this matter started because of me, I can't affect the people of the village."

The old man laughed when he heard this: "Elder, don't worry, this monster is just bluffing, don't dare to approach, just rest in peace." ”

Seeing that Sanzang was puzzled, the old man pointed to the northwest: "Can the elder see that peak?" ”

Following the direction of the old man's finger, Tang Sanzang saw that there was a high mountain in the northwest of the village, but this mountain was so strange, like a human palm.

Thinking of the words of the captain before leaving, Tang Sanzang blurted out: "Five Finger Mountain!" ”

The old man nodded: "Yes, this mountain, also known as the Five Elements Mountain, fell from the sky twenty years ago, pressing a heroic man. Although he was trapped at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, he could still shock the Quartet. Now in this place within a radius of twenty miles of the Five Elements Mountain, no monster dares to enter it, otherwise it will definitely be scattered! ”

Sanzang was a little puzzled: "Since this mountain fell from the sky, it must have been he who caused the heavenly court to shake and suppressed it here." So even if you are not a monster, you are also a villain, how can you be a hero! ”

The old man was originally smiling, but when he heard Sanzang say this, his face immediately sank: "Elder, if you scold the little old man for two sentences, forget it, but if you want to belittle my family's father-in-law, please leave!" ”

Seeing that the old man's face suddenly changed, Sanzang was puzzled: "If this person is not heinous, how can he be pressed here by the Five Elements Mountain descended from the heavens?" ”

The old man snorted: "You monk doesn't understand the reason, and you don't ask the reason for the matter, so you keep saying that he is a sinner, which is simply unreasonable." You are not welcome here, please leave. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he pushed Sanzang out of the courtyard, and then slammed the courtyard door shut: "What is a high-ranking monk, it is simply indistinguishable from right and wrong!" Thanks to my hospitality, the best food is fed to the dogs! ”

Looking at the closed door, Sanzang was confused, why did the old man become like this because of a few words?

At this moment, the youkai standing on the head of the cloud finally saw Sanzang.

He was a little hesitant, but he really couldn't resist the temptation of immortality, and finally gritted his teeth and pounced on the village.

I didn't want to go forward before I entered about ten zhang, and a golden light shot out from the Five Elements Mountain, knocking it down from the cloud in the blink of an eye.

The tiger spirit landed and wanted to escape immediately, but the golden light seemed to have spirituality, and it directly turned into a golden rope and tied it firmly.

The tiger spirit bound by the golden light was extremely painful, not only with a hideous face, but also let out a series of screams: "Grandpa, I don't dare anymore!" ”

Although the tiger spirit repeatedly asked for mercy, there was no response.

After struggling for a while, he lay there motionless and silent.

At this moment, more than a dozen figures flashed in the village, led by several big men: "Engong shows his might, there is tiger meat to eat today." ”

Seeing that everyone rushed up and carried the tiger spirit back to the village in its original form, Sanzang wanted to come forward to talk.

Unexpectedly, the people ignored him and carried the tiger straight into a compound in the middle of the village.

When Sanzang walked into the courtyard, he saw that everyone was setting up a cauldron, peeling the skin and bones of the tiger essence, and preparing to steam.

The tiger's head was cut off entirety and placed on a table full of tributes in the main hall.

Sanzang stubbornly walked up to a woman: "Eldest sister, may I ask who killed the tiger spirit just now?" ”

The woman glanced at Sanzang: "The wicked man in your mouth! And when he had finished speaking, he was silent.

Tang Sanzang didn't expect that he would wear so quickly when he talked to his father-in-law just now, and he could only laugh and laugh in embarrassment: "Eldest sister, it is the fault of the poor monk to draw conclusions." Please also ask the eldest sister to tell me the whole story, so that the poor monk can understand in his heart. ”

The woman looked up at Sanzang: "Want to know?" First go to the ancestral hall to put incense on Engong and ask for his forgiveness! ”

Sanzang was puzzled: "Who are you Engong?" ”

"People? Our Engong is the best immortal in the world! ”
