Leaving Chang'an, Zhu Guangxuan and Sha Wujing hurried to Wuzhuang Temple. The two of them couldn't understand how those monsters had the idea of Wuzhuang Guan, so they could only rush over first.

When they were about to arrive at Wuzhuang Temple, the two of them landed on a mountain peak, and they didn't know what the current situation of Wuzhuang Temple was, so they rushed forward, fearing that something would go wrong. The mountain peak was only four or five miles away from Wuzhuang Temple, and the two of them observed in the direction of the Taoist Temple, Zhu Guangxuan suddenly found that something was not quite right in the place below, so he pulled Sha Wujing, pointed to a place and said, "There is a problem in that place." ”

Sha Wujing looked in the direction of Zhu Guangxuan's finger, it was a small mountain village, at the foot of a mountain, about thirty or forty households, faintly, there was indeed a strange atmosphere.

Zhu Guangxuan said: "There is a demonic spirit in that village. Besides, in a normal village, there are chickens and dogs walking around at any time, and children are frolicking, but there is no village at all, and it is almost noon, which should be the time for cooking, but there is not a trace of cooking smoke in the whole village, which is not right. ”

That village is only a few miles away from Wuzhuang Temple, with Zhen Yuanzi's magical powers, there should be no monsters in such a close place, Zhu Guangxuan and Sha Wujing decided to go down to find out.

There is a stone paved path in the middle of the mountain village, probably in an east-west direction, running through the whole village, Zhu Guangxuan and Sha Wujing followed the path into the village, most of the people in the village are open, and many people can be seen in the courtyard, but those people look at them coldly, all without the diligence and enthusiasm of ordinary rural people, and when they see Zhu Guangxuan and Sha Wujing, there are many "people" whose Adam's apple has moved, and they are swallowing saliva.

Walking out of the small village, Zhu Guangxuan and Sha Wujing glanced at each other and nodded, there was no longer a living person in this small village, and the so-called "people" they saw were all changed by monsters. Zhu Guangxuan has always killed demons when he sees them, so he wants to make a move, but Sha Wujing pulls him back: "These monsters must be related to Wuzhuang Guan, and they all seem to be little demons, kill them, I'm afraid those big demons will be alert and regenerate." ”

Zhu Guangxuan thought for a moment: "This is not difficult. ”

Zhu Guangxuan has six kinds of weapons, but there are seven ways to kill the monster, and after he finished speaking, he raised his left palm, and there were words in his mouth. After a big concept of tea time, Zhu Guangxuan stopped and said to Sha Wujing: "Let's go." ”

Sha Wujing asked, "Could it be that what Brother Zhu recited just now is the Tianpeng Divine Mantra?" Zhu Guangxi's Tianpeng Mantra can directly take the life of a little demon, even if it is a profound monster, it will be confused.

Zhu Guangyi replied: "Exactly, now that the monsters in this small village are all dead, it is expected that the other monsters will not be able to see what is going on for a while, and they will definitely think that they have fallen under the spell of the Taoist priest." ”

Got rid of these little demons, and the two walked to Wuzhuang Guan. The Wuzhuang view is built on the mountainside, looking at it from afar, the mountains are steep and steep, the pavilions are stacked, and it is really a good place to cultivate immortals. When I came to the door of the Taoist temple, I happened to meet a Taoist priest carrying a load of firewood and walked inside, and when I saw the Taoist priest, the two of them were relieved, indicating that Wuzhuang Temple was fine for the time being. Sha Wujing stepped forward to say hello and said, "Daoist, we went into the mountain to enjoy the scenery, and we lost time, can we stay in the Taoist temple for a day?"

It is common for pilgrims and passers-by to stay overnight at the Taoist temple, and the Taoist priest glanced at the two of them and said, "Come with me." ”

The two followed the Taoist priest to a room, the door of the room was open, and there were two young Taoist priests of sixteen or seventeen years old, and the Taoist priest who carried firewood shouted inside: "Qingfeng, Mingyue, there are two people who want to spend the night." After shouting, he said to Zhu Guangxuan and Sha Wujing: "You just talk to them." ”

Originally, the five Zhuang view is mainly divided into two courtyards before and after, and there are two small courtyards in the front yard, and there are two small courtyards in the east and west, and the west courtyard mainly lives in some Taoist priests with shallow qualifications and late entry, and the east courtyard is generally used by outsiders to borrow accommodation. Since Zhen Yuanzi's retreat, the affairs of the Taoist temple have been in the hands of his four eldest disciples, and the minds of these four disciples have been all placed in the backyard, concentrating on protecting the master. There are no important things in the front yard, and Qingfeng and Mingyue are usually more clever, so the senior brothers let them temporarily take care of the front yard.

The little Taoist priest asked, "What is the matter with the two of you coming here?"

Sha Wujing replied: "We went into the mountains to enjoy the scenery, but we missed the time, so we came to spend the night."

The two little Taoist priests looked outside and asked, "It's just past noon, so you're coming to spend the night?"

Sha Wujing explained: "We are tired of walking, and besides, the scenery in the mountains is very good, and we want to stay longer. ”

The little Taoist priest had a look of embarrassment on his face: "If it is in normal times, it doesn't hurt to stay for a few days, but there are some things in our Taoist temple recently, you have lived for a long time, I am afraid that the senior brothers will blame." ”

Sha Wujing took out a piece of silver and put it on the table in front of the little Taoist priest, and said: "It's rare for us to come here, and if we miss it, we won't have a chance, this is food money, please be accommodating to the little master." ”

When the two little Taoist priests saw the silver, their faces looked better, and they said: "Okay, seeing that you are quite good at doing things, I will let you stay for a few more days, but if you meet my senior brothers, you must say that you will stay for three or two days and leave." ”

Sha Wujing said: "Don't worry, little master, I won't cause you trouble." ”

"Then come with me. The two little Taoist priests led Zhu Guangxuan and Sha Wujing to a side room in the east courtyard, and then said: "You can live here, I will have someone bring you food in a while, if there is anything else, just find the two of us." ”

Because the monsters in the small mountain village are all small demons, Zhu Guangxuan and Sha Wujing analyzed that there must be other hiding places for the monsters near Wuzhuang Temple, and this place is either a village or a cave. After lunch, I inquired with a few Taoist priests, and the two of them went out of the door of Wuzhuang Temple.

According to the Taoist priests, there were only two villages within a radius of ten miles from the Five Villages, one of which was the small village they had seen in the morning, and the two of them first came to another village in the direction that the Taoist priest said, and everything was normal in this village. Leaving this mountain village, Zhu Guangxuan and Sha Wujing came to a mountain peak northeast of Wuzhuang Temple, which, according to Taoist priests, has several relatively large caves.

The mountain was a hundred feet high, and the steep slopes were densely covered with pine forests, and Zhu Guangxuan and Sha Wujing carefully searched in the forest. Not long after, they found a person, Zhu Guangxuan looked at it and whispered: "This person's expression and movements are not like the nearby mountain people, let's follow him." ”

The two followed the person all the way, and sure enough, they came to a cave, the cave is not small, the entrance of the cave is about two zhang wide, and there are a few people guarding the entrance of the cave, Zhu Guangxuan took a look at it and said: "These are monsters!"

The two of them quietly stared at the cave, and within an hour, several groups of monsters entered and exited, showing that there were still many monsters inside. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhu Guangxuan and Sha Wujing returned to Wuzhuang Temple.
