CHAPTER XXXIV
"Don't say any more, you bastard!" Yuqing smashed the steamed bun at Nameless, Nameless dodged it gently, and I watched as the steamed bun fell into the sky with a dashing body in free fall. I immediately put the dry food and fruit into the bag and carried it on my back with a distressed expression.
When we arrived at Wuzhi Mountain, all the dry food on our bodies had been looted, because we were so hungry that Yuqing had eaten almost two-thirds of everything, and it was gratifying that her face had not changed at all, only that her body had been slightly blessed, but it did not affect her ladylike image.
I was hungry, saved the fruit of honoring Grandpa Sun, and with the last bit of hope, we walked towards the foot of Wuzhi Mountain. I found that the environment here is very good, surrounded by colorful flowers, there are artificially repaired rockery streams in the distance, and the sound of crackling firecrackers can be heard in the distance. There are people who sit in sedan chairs, there are carts, and there are groups of people who walk together, there are people who sing operas on the roadside, there are people who sell candy, and there are people who tell stories and read pictures. This unprecedented spectacle seems to be something that can only be seen in the city.
"Could they be youkai?" I asked Nameless in a low voice because of my previous experience.
Nameless frowned and shook his head: "It's really strange that the barren mountains and mountains are so lively, but as far as I can observe, they are all flesh and blood people." ”
Yuqing couldn't walk when she saw the food sold, but we were penniless, so we could only stand in front of the steamed bun stall and smell the fragrance. Nameless looked at Yuqing's satisfied expression when she smelled the smell, and whispered to me: "I see that there must be something greedy in her stomach, we must hurry back to Xianshan to let Shizun exorcise evil spirits for her after we finish our business." ”
"Hmm. ”
I pulled Yuqing to speed up my steps towards the destination, and with the flow of people, we passed by a temple built at the foot of the mountain, and the plaque read, "Respond to requests, the monkey sits on the mountain". A large number of pilgrims burned incense and prayed in front of the stove in the courtyard, each carrying a variety of fruits.
We walked into the yard curiously, and immediately got dirty by the oncoming incense smoke, and watched our white clothes turn into gray clothes, and sighed sincerely: "The incense here is so prosperous." ”
It wasn't until I walked into the temple that I saw a golden monkey sculpture standing in the center, and the ground was full of fresh fruits, some of which looked strange, and Nameless said that those fruits should have been sent from thousands of miles away.
"Is it really that smart?" Yuqing's eyes lit up.
I made a forbidden gesture towards Yuqing, reminding her not to speak above the temple.
I saw an old woman kneeling in the center with a basket of bananas beside her. She said to the statue: "The monkey master said that I have a son in seventy, and I have one in seventy, not only do I have no children in my belly, but even my wife has returned to the West." ”
The statue suddenly said: "The son arrives, the son arrives, you go out." ”
The old woman turned around suspiciously, and saw a matchmaker dressed up at the door, and the matchmaker ran in to invite the old woman out, and said to her: "Great joy, sister-in-law, Wang Yuanwai's wife has returned to the West, I took a few portraits to Wang Yuanwai's house to say matchmaking, Wang Yuanwai actually picked you." ”
"Pick..... Have you picked me as an old woman?" the old woman was shocked.
"Yes, yes, this is also my surprise. The matchmaker took the old woman's hand and said, "I showed the portraits of twenty people outside the king, ranging in age from fifteen to eighty, and he actually picked you at once." His youngest son saw that Wang Yuan's nose was bleeding, and while wiping the nosebleed for his excited father, he said to me, "It's her, it's my mother, hurry up and propose." ”
The matchmaker's eyes widened: "Is that really what Wang Yuanwai's son said?"
The matchmaker said: "Seriously, seriously." You see that you have no children and no daughters in your life, and now the heaven-sent opportunity for you to not only become a noblewoman, but also grow old and have children, which is really gratifying. Let's go back quickly, pack up properly, and wait for the royal family to finish the white affairs and give you a happy event. ”
When the old woman was leaving, she did not forget to run back, kowtow to the monkey statue a few times, and offered a basket of bananas as a tribute to the monkey.
I really met the monkey, and Yuqing and I were very surprised. Nameless was much calmer, and he said to me: "I only heard that there is a monkey trapped at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, but I didn't expect this monkey to run this monkey temple well, but he has some ability." ”
"Forget it, let's not forget it, let's go and meet Grandpa Sun Wukong first. "I was so anxious.
Yuqing glanced at the monkey statue: "Looking at the posture, Sun Wukong has turned into a statue that can only tell fortunes." ”
"Ah, is he Grandpa Monkey King?" I was surprised.
"Yes. Yuqing nodded.
