Chapter 222: Innocent Death (Part I)

It turned out that last night, Sha Seng suddenly came to the Jingtan Temple in a hurry, he didn't say a word, picked up Zhu Bajie and walked out.

At that time, Zhu Bajie had just fallen asleep, and he asked Sha Seng where he wanted to take him with hazy sleepy eyes, but Sha Seng didn't say anything, just pulled him to the wilderness.

Although Zhu Bajie was puzzled in his heart, he would not doubt Sha Seng no matter what.

In this way, Sha Seng pulled Zhu Bajie and walked all the way, until the surroundings became more and more desolate, until there was no longer a single figure around, and Zhu Bajie became suspicious.

So, he broke free from Sha Seng and asked where the other party wanted to take him, but Sha Seng kept silent and didn't say a word.

Zhu Bajie felt that Sha Seng was particularly abnormal, he walked to Sha Seng's side and wanted to ask for an understanding. But what he didn't expect was that the crescent shovel in the hand of the sand monk also stabbed at this time.

All this happened too suddenly, and it was too unexpected, Zhu Bajie was seriously injured before he had time to react, he covered the bloody wound, endured the pain, and flew back to the Jingtan Temple.

The sand monk was in hot pursuit.

Zhu Bajie knew that now he was not Sha Seng's opponent at all, and if he was tough, he would definitely die.

At this time, Zhu Bajie suddenly saw the well in the backyard, and he had an idea and jumped into the well.

The sand monk really didn't find him.

But Zhu Bajie underestimated his injuries, and he fainted in pain after jumping into the well.

until Sun Wukong rescued him............

After listening to what happened to Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, he turned around and looked at the burning fire, for a long, long time............

After a long time, he turned around, shook his head, and said, "No! Lao Sun still doesn't believe that Senior Brother Sha would do such a thing. Bajie, can you see clearly, it was really Senior Brother Sha who hurt you?"

"Brother Monkey, I don't want to believe it, but ............ But it is indeed Senior Brother Sha who hurts people. Zhu Bajie said.

"Maybe the monster has taken on the form of Senior Brother Sha, and you don't recognize it. Sun Wukong said.

"Brother Monkey, we have all been senior brothers for a thousand years, how can my old pig not recognize Senior Brother Sha? Besides, my old pig is also a messenger of the Pure Altar now, if Senior Brother Sha is a little demon and a little monster, the old pig will definitely be able to see it." Zhu Bajie said.

Sun Wukong was silent again, the firelight reflected his face in a flickering light, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

"Eight precepts. Sun Wukong said.

"Brother Monkey, what's wrong?" Zhu Bajie asked.

"Your injuries are not healed, you need to rest more. Sun Wukong said.

After saying this, Sun Wukong took the golden hoop stick out of his ear, he picked up the golden hoop stick, and drew a circle for Zhu Bajie.

This is a golden circle, which encloses Zhu Bajie in the middle.

"Brother Monkey, what are you doing here?" Zhu Bajie wondered.

"Bajie, Lao Sun has set up a barrier here, although this barrier is not indestructible, but once someone approaches, Lao Sun will immediately know. You are recuperating in this circle now, don't go out, my grandson will go back when he goes. With that, Sun Wukong turned into a golden light and flew away in an instant.

In fact, needless to say, Zhu Bajie also knew that Sun Wukong was looking for a sand monk.

..........................................................................................

The vast dark night, the sound of the wind.

Cloud.

Sun Wukong covered his hand over his head, and he opened his eyes.

So even though it's night, he can still see everything in the Nether Realm clearly.

He's looking for a sand monk.

Although he didn't know where the sand monk was.

He just looked aimlessly.

In fact, he also knew that this kind of needle-in-a-haystack search was meaningless, and it was impossible for him to find Sha Monk.

It's just his obsession at work.

Sometimes, even if they know that it is wrong to do this, or that it is fruitless, people still want to do it, and this is an obsession.

Although Sun Wukong is not a mortal, he also has obsessions, and even his obsessions are heavier than mortals.

Sure enough, he flew in the air all night and did not find the sand monk.

In the sky, a thin curve stood in the dark blue clouds, and this line was red and shining, like boiling hot water.

Sun Wukong looked at this translucent light, and he knew that this was the moment when the bright day burst out of the night sky.

It's dawn.

Sun Wukong is very tired, to be precise, physically and mentally exhausted.

He dragged his tired body towards the water curtain cave, he should have rested well, and then think about what to do, instead of being presumptuous.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw two dead people!

It is normal for mortals to die of old age, but these two dead people are different. Because............ They are immortals!

A light immediately shot out from Sun Wukong's tired eyes, he stabilized his body, changed direction, and quickly flew towards the nether realm.

..........................................................................................

The world, the south of the island, the land temple.

It's dawn now, and the wind is still very cold in the early morning.

In front of Sun Wukong was a small land temple, a little dilapidated and a little shabby.

A cold wind blew, and on the old locust tree outside the land temple, the last dead leaf finally couldn't support it and fell quietly.

Sun Wukong stepped on the fallen leaves in the courtyard and walked into the land temple.

"Squeak"!

The old wooden door made an irritating sound, and the moment it was pushed open, a musty smell came to my nose.

This land temple is not much bigger than a palm, and the small land temple is already full of dust, and it looks like no one has cleaned it for a long time.

On the cement platform that has been cracked, there is a statue of the smiling Lord of the Earth, and there is an incense burner on the incense table in front of the cement table, and a few dusty incense roots are inserted in the incense burner, and there is a notched porcelain bowl in front of the incense burner, and in the bowl are a few fruits that have rotted and long hairs.

It's just a forgotten land temple, and there's nothing wrong with it at first glance.

But when Sun Wukong opened his eyes, two corpses appeared in the Land Temple.

This is............ The corpse of the land lord and the land milk!

I saw that the eyes of the land lord and the land milk were wide open, and their faces were extremely frightened.

The Earth Lord was wearing a blue gown, and there was a shocking scar on his chest, and red blood seeped out of the wound, staining his clothes red.

Look at the earth milk.

Her wound was exactly the same as that of the Earth Lord, except that the incision was slightly smaller.

Sun Wukong sighed, shook his head, and then closed the eyes of the two of them.

Although the land lord and the land milk are not immortals, they are immortals after all, and now the two immortals have died tragically in the world, although Sun Wukong's heart is not particularly uncomfortable, but it is by no means uncomfortable.

At this time, a string of Buddhist beads in the corner caught Sun Wukong's attention.

This is the Land Temple, how can there be Buddha beads in the Land Temple?

Sun Wukong walked over and picked up the Buddha beads, this Buddha bead he is very familiar with, this is the Buddha bead worn by the sand monk!

As Zhu Bajie said, he and Sha Seng have been brothers for a thousand years, and Sha Seng has been wearing this string of Buddhist beads for a thousand years, so he will never admit his mistake.

Sun Wukong's breathing almost stopped.

He grabbed the Buddha beads in his hand vigorously, smashed the incense case hard, and said hatefully: "Senior Brother Sha, why are you doing this?"

Just yesterday, he didn't believe that Sha Seng would hurt Zhu Bajie. But now, he saw this string of Buddha beads, and saw the corpses of the land lord and the land milk, and he finally believed it!

Sun Wukong took the Buddha bead to his eyes, and he found that the Buddha bead was spotless, as if it had just fallen here.

In fact, the moment he saw the corpses of the two, Sun Wukong had already guessed that the person who killed the land lord and the land milk was the sand monk!

It's just that he doesn't want to believe the result.

"Senior Brother Sha, why are you? Why do you want to do such a hurtful thing?" Sun Wukong raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar.

The dust on the beams of the house was shaken off by him, and the old wooden door was "rattled" by him.

After a long time, Sun Wukong raised his head, and he said to himself: "Maybe all this was not done by Senior Brother Sha, the one who injured Bajie was actually a monster with high mana, but Bajie didn't recognize it." The one who killed the land lord and the land milk may not be Senior Brother Sha, but the monster with high mana, who stole Senior Brother Sha's Buddha beads and threw them here to blame Senior Brother Sha. ”

It's not impossible.

Sun Wukong's heart ignited a glimmer of hope, and he then said to himself: "Yes! It must be so, Senior Brother Sha must be innocent, and when my old grandson finds Senior Brother Sha and solves the misunderstanding, it will be fine." ”

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong dug two pits next to the Land Temple and buried the Land Lord and the Land Milk in them.

Sun Wukong pulled out the incense root in the incense burner, and picked up two stones on the side of the road, he inserted the incense root on the grave bag, put the stone under the grave bag, and said: "Two, this is all my grandson can do, you can rest assured, my grandson will find out the murderer and help you take revenge." Incidentally............ Return Sha's junior brother a clean slate!"

When the last few words were spoken, Sun Wukong's voice gradually became quieter.

He stood in front of the grave for a moment, then turned into a golden light and flew away.

.............................................................................................

Cloud.

Sun Wukong took out the Buddha bead in his arms, he touched it, and secretly thought: "Senior Brother Sha, it must not be you! It must not be you! But don't be you!"

Sun Wukong put the Buddha beads back in his arms, he covered his hands on his head, and flew towards the water curtain hole.

But as he flew, a scream suddenly came from the Nether.

This scream was thousands of miles away, but it went straight to the sky, and it could also shake Sun Wukong's ears to the point of pain.

This is clearly not a human voice.

Sun Wukong paused again and flew towards the Nether.

The world, the north of Luzhou, the city god temple.

Now that the sky is bright, the rising sun is shining through the clouds and into a temple of the City God.

Compared to the Land Temple just now, this City God Temple is much more atmospheric.

The temple is nestled in the middle of a cluster of quaint buildings that look like temples and have different cornices on the pavilions, some pointed, some round, and some square. The layered, staggered up and down cornices, against the backdrop of the sky, have a unique flavor.

Sun Wukong walked through these empty buildings and came to the door of the City God Temple.

There is a lock hanging on the dark temple door.

Sun Wukong blew on the lock, only to hear the sound of "ding", and the lock opened by itself.

Sun Wukong took off the lock, threw it aside, pushed the door and walked in.

This is a very spacious temple of the City God.

I saw that a bronze statue of the city god was enshrined in the temple a few zhang wide, and the expression of the city god was lifelike, like a living person.

On a shelf made of pig iron lay three clean incense burners, which were full of yellow millet.

In front of the incense burner, there is a plate of fruit, a jar of wine, a plate of peanuts, a roast chicken, and two plates of pig hands!

The pig's hand was freshly cut, and the pig's blood on it had not yet coagulated.

The wine is unopened, but even so, Sun Wukong can still smell the aroma of wine in the air.

It seems that this is a very popular temple among the local people. Not only is it cleaned by a special person, but even the food is very particular.

Sun Wukong opened his fiery eyes and looked around the temple, but under the light of fiery eyes, there was no change here.

"Strange, could it be that Lao Sun is in the wrong place?" Sun Wukong scratched the back of his hand, rolled his eyes, and continued: "But that scream obviously came from this City God Temple." ”

Sun Wukong looked around the City God Temple again.

At that moment, his gaze fell on the bronze statue............
