Volume 2 The Human World Chapter 37: Temple Fair
Huaguo Mountain, Water Curtain Cave.
The afternoon sun shines on the earth, the mountain stream is murmuring, the breeze is warm, and the magpies stand on the branches, "chirping" non-stop.
Suddenly, a strong wind struck, and the magpie was frightened and flew away in a panic.
The strong wind stopped, and a man appeared - the Bull Demon King.
"Brother Xian, Brother Xian!" the Bull Demon King shouted Sun Wukong's name, but no one answered him.
"Brother Xian, it's me, something happened! Come out quickly!" the Bull Demon King yelled at the Water Curtain Cave, his voice was so loud that every stone on the Water Curtain Cave was shattered by his roar, and some gravel rolled down from it.
Seeing that no one answered, the Bull Demon King flew directly into the water curtain cave.
The cave was dark, with several fruits scattered on the stone table, two of which had blackened skins, one of which was crumpled and had lost its moisture, and next to it was a rotten peach.
The yellow futon lay quietly on the ground, already covered with dust.
It seems that Sun Wukong is not here, and he has been gone for a while.
The Bull Demon King walked out in a frustration, although he had many friends with the Bull Demon King, but Sun Wukong was the only one who really had the ability, and he could see that the headless man was by no means an idle person, and now only Sun Wukong could help him. It's a pity that Sun Wukong is not here, so who else can he ask for help?
At this moment, a demonic wind struck, and the grass and trees withered and the creek dried up wherever the demonic wind went.
"Hahahaha!! Bull Demon King, don't come to harm!" The voice of the Bull Demon King is somewhat familiar.
When the demon wind dissipated, two people appeared in front of the Bull Demon King.
One of them was dressed in armor and had no head, while the other was a "human" in black armor, wearing an Shura mask, and holding a long knife.
"It's you! you're really ghostly!" said the Bull Demon King, looking at the headless man.
"Bull Demon King, you let you escape last time, but you weren't so lucky this time!" said the headless man.
"My subordinates are defeated, and I dare to speak wildly, I will kill you today and let you know how powerful I am!"
Unexpectedly, the masked man stood in front of the headless man, and the knife in his hand glowed with cold light, which made people fearful.
"Okay, then I'll clean you up first!" As soon as the words fell, the Bull Demon King came to the front of the masked man, and he was facing the masked man's head with a sword.
The masked man took a step back, and the Bull Demon King's sword slashed to the ground.
The masked man rose into the air, only to see him shake his hand, and three flying knives went straight to the Bull Demon King.
The Bull Demon King knocked down the three flying knives with a single sword and headed straight for the masked man.
The masked man threw the knife in his hand, the Bull Demon King dodged sideways, and the masked man came behind the Bull Demon King with a single move, catching the knife.
The two of them fought dozens of times, and the masked man flickered and moved, but he didn't confront the Bull Demon King head-on, and the Bull Demon King was already so tired that he was panting.
"If you have a seed, take me a move! Don't run!" The Bull Demon King was furious, and swept through thousands of troops with one move, and in an instant, a strong wind blew around him, and countless gravel branches flew in the wind.
The Bull Demon King slashed at the masked man with a sword, and this time, the masked man took the call. Suddenly, the masked man's leg sank into the ground, unable to move.
"Die!" the Bull Demon King roared, and the lower half of the masked man's body was completely sunk into the ground.
However, the Bull Demon King didn't see that at this moment, the shadow of the masked man actually moved!
The shadow stood up, walked around the back of the Bull Demon King, and plunged a knife into the Bull Demon King's stomach.
The Bull Demon King looked at the knife that burst out of his chamber, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the sword in his hand slowly fell.
The masked man stabbed directly into the heart of the Bull Demon King, and this time, the Bull Demon King fell.
The masked man put away his knife, and his shadow slowly returned to his feet.
"Good!Shadowbrake!Well done!" The headless man came over and said, "You killed the Bull Demon King and removed a great trouble for the king, and the king must be rewarded!"
"Thank you, Protector!"
The two youkai turned into a demon wind and left.
The Bull Demon King fell to the ground, and the blood flowed into the stream, and the stream was instantly dyed red. The Bull Demon King's eyes widened, as if he was unwilling.
Daileiyin Temple.
Tang Seng died bloodied in front of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng rushed to hear the news, but they watched coldly from the sidelines.
Guanyin Bodhisattva also came, she was sitting on a black lotus, and the jade bottle in her hand turned blood-red, at this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly spoke: "Wukong, Tang Seng is dead, what are you going to do?"
Sun Wukong wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, and he could only make a "woo woo wow wow" sound.
At this time, Zhu Bajie also spoke: "Brother Monkey, the master is dead, aren't you sad?"
After speaking, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng walked over slowly, their faces pale and expressionless............
Sun Wukong sat up suddenly, everything just now was a dream?! However, this dream is so real.
Sun Wukong's heart was "pounding", as the saying goes, dreams are born from the heart, but for some reason, he always felt that something bad was going to happen.
Sun Wukong packed up his things, hurriedly checked out and left.
On the street, it is breakfast time, but the street is densely packed with people, carrying all kinds of food, all walking in one direction.
Sun Wukong was squeezed in the crowd and couldn't move, so he had to retreat to the inn.
"I said shopkeeper, what day is it today, why is there such a scene on the street?" Sun Wukong grabbed the shopkeeper and asked.
"Hey, guest officer, you are a foreigner, so naturally you don't know our customs here. The shopkeeper said.
"Oh, what custom?" asked Sun Wukong with interest.
"Today, it's an annual temple fair, we have a demon king here, that ability is great, say it rains, say sunny days are sunny, our people here worship it every New Year's holiday, but it's spiritual!"
"Since it's a demon king, why do you want to worship a monster?" asked Sun Wukong puzzled.
"Shhh And we had a drought here a year ago, and it didn't rain for a whole month, and as soon as the demon king came, it rained here, and since then, we have a good weather here, and if anyone has any needs, go to the demon king temple and worship it, and the next day it will be realized. The shopkeeper said with a lot of spittle.
"So that's the case, have you seen his true face?" asked Sun Wukong.
"Never. The shopkeeper shook his head, and then said: "People are gods, like us ordinary people, where can we see the true face of others?"
Listening to the words of the shopkeeper, Sun Wukong couldn't help but wonder: What is the origin of this so-called demon king? Why does he have the ability to call the wind and rain?
This reminded Sun Wukong of the time when he learned the scriptures, passing through the country of Chechi, Huli Daxian had the ability to rain, saying that he had the ability, but in fact it was not accurate, just because Huli Daxian had some friendship with the four immortals of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and wanted to rain, just send a signal to the sky.
Is this demon king a god or a demon? There are rules in the heavenly court that immortals are not allowed to reveal their true faces, they are not allowed to cast spells casually, and they are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the world. It seems that this demon king is a demon, but how can a monster have such ability? Listening to the tone of the shopkeeper, this demon king doesn't seem to mean to harm people, is he really a good monster?
Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I just went to find out.
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong turned into a golden light and went to the sky, and he followed the crowded crowd underground in the sky to the Demon King Temple in the mouth of the shopkeeper............
