Tang Seng walked into the house and saw a group of men, women and children all holding wooden sticks and brooms, all of them looking frightened.

"Don't panic, that's an elder who went to the West Heaven to get the true scriptures, not a goblin. ”

Seeing the scene in the house, the old man hurriedly explained.

The people who were suspicious in their hearts looked at Zhu Bajie and the others who were quietly following Tang Seng, and they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Although they all laid down their weapons, there was still fear in their eyes.

"A few elders came by chance, and they were preparing a dinner party, so they could catch up. ”

After discovering that Tang Seng and the others were not goblins, the old man was obviously much more enthusiastic.

"Then disturb the old benefactor!"

Hearing this, Tang Seng nodded and replied softly.

After entering the hall, sure enough, there was a lot of food on the table.

In addition to the adults I just saw, there were two children, a man and a woman, who saw Zhu Bajie and a few people at this moment, and jumped behind the adults with a frightened face.

"Haha! My old pig is hungry and panicked, and it is too late to come. ”

Looking at the many foods on the table, Zhu Bajie was already drooling.

"Bajie! Don't scare people. ”

Looking at Zhu Bajie, who was eager to pounce, Tang Seng said solemnly.

"Yes, master!"

Zhu Bajie, who was rubbing his hands, just stood beside Tang Seng stupidly.

"You guys, go and prepare some food for the elders. ”

Seeing this, the old man hurriedly commanded a few people standing on the side.

After a while, many child servants came with fasting meals.

Tang Seng, who sat down, glanced at everyone, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Old donor, since it is a meal, why do you show sadness on your face one by one." ”

The three Monkey Kings, who were eating a lot, also noticed the strangeness of the people around them at this moment.

I saw them frightened in their hearts, but now they were sorrowful.

The old man who sighed lightly did not speak, but asked strangely: "Elder, why didn't you take the right path and come to me instead of taking the right path?"

"I was on the right path, but I saw a stream of water blocking it, and I couldn't cross it, so I heard the sound of drums and cymbals, and I came here on purpose. ”

Sun Wukong, who was sitting next to Tang Seng, responded softly.

"Elders, what did you see when you walked to the water's edge?"

The old man hesitated, but still spoke.

The expression of the old man on the opposite side obviously aroused Sun Wukong's interest, and he waved his hand and said: "I saw a stone tablet, with three characters on it, and there was nothing else." ”

The old man nodded and looked out of the door.

"Go ashore again, there is only Li Xu from the inscription, there is a temple of inspiration, haven't you seen it?"

"Inspiration King, who is this?"

The sand monk, who was eating food, also raised his head.

I have heard a lot of names about the land and river gods, but I have never heard of this inspiration king.

Seeing a few people shaking their heads, the old man was unconsciously in tears.

Many of the rest of the people in the room sighed, and even whispered tears, but the two children, who did not know what was happening, snuggled carefully beside the two women, with big eyes dazed.

"Master, that inspiration king must be a monster. ”

Zhu Bajie, who was eating food, raised his head and said loudly.

He had suspected that there were goblins here, but now looking at the situation of this old man's family, it is already eight or nine.

"What is the suffering of the old benefactor, just say it, since the poor monk eats your fast, he will naturally relieve your worries. ”

Tang Seng, who put down the steamed bun in his hand, said softly.

The sad old man did not speak immediately, but waved his hand at the two women.

After the two of them left with the children, the old man said in a deep voice: "Hey, the king of inspiration, Shi Ganyu, and Luo Qingyun, it is a good thing, but every year they have to eat a pair of boys and girls, if they don't obey, they will inevitably bring disaster." ”

"Old donor, this year it is probably your turn. ”

Sun Wukong's eyes grunted, and his heart was already clear.

"No! In previous years, it was a festival, but this year there is one more. ”

The old man sighed, his expression very depressed.

In the face of the extra meal of the Inspiration King, they simply had no choice.

When the time came, Tang Seng, who clocked out of work, said softly: "The old donor doesn't have to worry, since there is a demon, I will surrender it later." ”

The inspiration king deliberately added food, apparently because they came.

"That inspiration king can rain wind, frost, snow and rain, and it is extremely powerful. ”

The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he was still a little worried in his heart.

After all, if they anger the King of Inspiration, it will be their entire village that will suffer.

The old man's current mood is naturally excited and apprehensive.

The rest of the people in the room, naturally, looked at Tang Seng nervously one by one.

"Don't worry about the donors, the poor monks came to the Tang Dynasty in the eastern land, and there were countless demons and demons along the way, and the king of inspiration was not a problem. ”

Tang Seng smiled slightly, his expression calm.

Sun Wukong, who was next to him, also responded confidently: "The old donor doesn't have to worry, with my master here, there is no demon that can't be defeated." ”

Monk Sha and Zhu Bajie on the side also spoke again and again, but they all looked unimpressed.

Seeing the confident Tang monk and apprentice, coupled with the surprised faces of several people, the old man already had some faith in his heart.

"Elder, I'm going to send my two children later, I wonder what the elder can do?"

The old man, who pondered for a while, asked.

Faintly, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard in the distance, and it was obvious that the person from the village had picked up the two children.

Tang Seng stretched out his hand slightly, stopped Sun Wukong, who was about to speak, and said softly: "Later, I will accompany us to the Great King Temple of Inspiration, and I can easily capture the goblin." ”

Hearing that Tang Seng and the others took the risk in person, the old man was slightly moved in his heart, and then said with a little pleading: "I hope that the elder will take care of my two children when he arrives." ”

"May the elders be merciful and keep my two children safe. ”

The rest of the people in the room also said mournfully, and many knelt down one by one.

Tang Seng hugged the old man in front of him, and said gently: "The old benefactor doesn't have to be like this, saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and the poor monk will not see death and not save him." ”

Everyone in the room was talking, only to hear the noise of gongs and drums outside, the lights were shining, and everyone in Tongzhuang opened the front door and shouted: "Bring out the boys and girls!"

"Elder!"

Seeing the four juniors who walked in carrying the table, the old man looked at Tang Seng with an anxious face.

Although Tang Seng had already agreed to help them, he still couldn't help but panic at the thought of carrying the child to the Inspiration King Temple.

"Don't worry, the old donor, I'll go with you. ”

Tang Seng, who was speaking, had already slowly stood up.

It's just a goldfish essence that runs out of the Guanyin pond, and the sand monks can easily surrender.

The impression of this goldfish essence, in addition to eating boys and girls, is that the snow fell all night and froze the entire Tongtian River.

Although there is a relationship with geographical advantages, a goblin can easily attract wind and snow, and the previous actions of Zhu Bajie in Che Chi Guo made Tang Seng even more puzzled.

In the original book, Sun Wukong is looking for help everywhere, and he may have seen the essence of learning scriptures, but Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk are probably pure laziness.
