Chapter 4: Farewell

At night, the light shines through the houses scattered all over the mountains and rivers, and it looks like a little star.

A huge bonfire was built in the middle of the village, crackling.

During the day, the Taoist priest was wearing a Taoist robe, jumping up and down on the edge of the bonfire with the broken sword, chanting words in his mouth. It's like juggling, sprinkling glutinous rice and ringing bells for a while, tossing and turning.

From time to time, his Taoist disciples would cooperate, and the villagers around him would be dazzled and bow their heads.

In the grass at the edge of the village, a group of youkai cautiously poked their heads out.

About thirty feet away from them, a hedge, a hut, and a solitary shadow illuminated by an oil lamp were printed on the lattice.

The white frost huddled among the youkai stared at the shadow.

"Is that your house?" asked the monkey.

"Yes. White Frost nodded silently.

"Why is it so small?"

White Frost didn't answer, just watched silently. Looking at the hut, at the slightly flickering shadows on the lattice, there was silence.

The youkai around looked at her one by one.

On an early autumn night, the boundless wet cold of the mountains hit from all directions, and she curled up slightly, rubbing her palms. It's obviously cold, but he still doesn't want to leave. The sight was on the latticework of the hut from beginning to end, and never looked away.

The intermittent breath turned into a white mist in front of his eyes, filling his eyes.

Time passed little by little, and the noise on the other side of the campfire seemed to be louder than before, which made the monsters faintly uneasy.

"Didn't you say that you would just take a look from afar and leave?" Da Hong quietly crawled to the monkey's side and urged eagerly, "I've seen it all, let's go quickly." It's not just her who was discovered, even we all played together!"

The monkey glanced at the motionless White Frost and replied in a low voice, "Wait a little longer, it's okay." ”

"What's okay? You're dragging everyone to death together!"

"Then you go first. ”

The monkey shook off coldly, Da Hong was slightly stunned, and could only swallow his saliva and shut up.

In the distance, a few coughs could be heard faintly from the house.

White Frost was startled, and his body involuntarily leaned forward. However, before she could step forward, the monkey had already grabbed her from behind.

"What are you doing?"

"I ...... I want to see my dad. White Frost said hesitantly: "Just a glance ......"

"Didn't you say that your father told the Taoist priest to arrest you?"

"But...... But ......"

Under the moonlight, the white frost's brow was so frowning that it was almost wringing out the water, and he looked at the monkey with a blank eye. There were tears in those eyes.

"Just at a glance...... Okay?"

"You're going to kill our ......," Da Hong begged in a low voice, "One more look, one less glance, what can you do? Don't you still have to go? Can't you stay with them?"

Before he could finish speaking, the monkey let go of his hand.

"Big Red!"

The big red on the side turned his face sideways.

"Money!" the monkey held out a hand to the big red.

"You...... What do you want to do?" Da Hong hurriedly clutched his pocket, turned his head and was about to run.

"Bring it!" Before he could take two steps away, the monkey had already swept him down. For a moment, the grass in the grass was rustled by the two of them.

"You can't do this, we really don't have any money!

"You're a fucking monster, what can you do with human money?"

"Don't, stop!"

Ignoring Dahong's struggles, the monkey snatched the money bag and threw it directly into Baishuang's arms. In fact, it's just a bit of silver.

"For your parents. Pressing the big red stiffly, the monkey said without looking back.

The big red who was crushed to the ground was still struggling desperately, and he didn't know what to say.

Looking at the money bag in his hand, Bai Shuang said in a slightly trembling voice, "I...... I can't ask for this money. ”

"It's okay, anyway, if it's so much trouble during the day, we'll definitely have to go around the human village around here. You can't use this money, you can take it. "From beginning to end, the monkey struggled to suppress the big red and did not look back.

White Frost's gaze went back and forth between the monkey's back and the money bag in his hand, and for a long time, he bowed deeply.

"Thank you. ”

"Thank you, go and come back quickly!"

Hearing this, Bai Shuang couldn't help but smile, bowed deeply to him again, turned around and took the money bag and carefully touched it towards the small house in the distance.

The night breeze blew slowly, crushing the wormwood.

......

In the small room, the two old men looked at each other silently.

A candle flickered.

After a long time, the old lady whispered, "Frost her...... I don't know what's going on. ”

The old man leaned on the couch and was silent.

"Or, you go and talk to the Taoist chief, just say, Shuang'er hasn't done anything bad, or else, forget it?"

The old man still didn't speak.

......

Outside, White Frost carefully held the money bag and quietly leaned against the rough wall, listening.

......

"When Shuang'er disappeared, you and I thought that we would have no children and no daughters, and we would live forever. I didn't expect ...... She's back. Not only did he come back, but he was more filial than before. What if it's a demon? It's a demon, that's my daughter! The chief said that Shuang'er did evil, what kind of evil did she do? If she really did something wrong, she shouldn't have come to see you, a ruthless old horseman! If Shuang'er really died, I ...... I'll fight with you!"

At this moment, the old lady was already in tears. Helpless, the old man had to sigh: "Do you think I didn't go to the Taoist to tell you?"

"You, said it?"

The old man nodded: "I said, it's useless." ”

"Then why do you say that you are looking for the Taoist?"

"If she doesn't leave, will it be difficult for you and me to send the white-haired person again......?" At least, alive. ”

Outside the window, the hoarfrost covered his lips, and his eyes were already hazy with tears.

The fire in the room was extinguished.

Bai Shuang gently pushed open the door, looked at the two old men lying on the couch, walked in step by step, put the silver tael given by the monkey on the table, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed.

"Dad, mother...... The daughter is not filial, and she can't stay with her knees in this life. In the next life, he must be a cow and a horse to repay the kindness of the two elders. ”

After that, Bai Shuang kowtowed again, lowered his head and slowly got up and left.

I can't bear to look at it anymore.

At this moment, she didn't know that the old man was holding the old lady's hand tightly.

The two old men on the couch also burst into tears.

......

In the grove, White Frost walked up to the monkey step by step.

"Crying?"

"Yes. White Frost nodded, "I'll go with you." ”

"Aren't you unwilling?"

"I changed my mind. ”

"Oh?" the monkey looked at the hoarfrost in some surprise.

"But I have one condition. ”

"I take you in, do you still have conditions?"

"I have a condition!" Bai Shuang's voice suddenly rose an octave.

The monkey was startled, and hurriedly glanced twice at the place where the Taoist priest was doing, and said in a low voice: "Okay, okay, you are the biggest, you are the biggest, say it." ”

"No...... No killing. White Frost looked back at his home.

"It's good if people don't kill me, I kill people? Is it good to kill people? I'm a vegetarian. ”

"Anyway, you promise me!"

"Okay, okay, promise you, promise you. ”

"Then, I also promised you that I could serve you as a maid and serve you. Anyway...... Neither will I. It's okay to wash and stack quilts. As he spoke, White Frost slowly lowered his head.

The monsters around all looked at her in amazement.

"Alright, alright, I beg you, go quickly. Da Hong pleaded with tears: "If we are discovered, we will be finished!"

In the darkness of the night, a group of little demons cautiously groped towards the pitch-black woods.

......

At this moment, on the other side, the Taoist priest who was still practicing bit his finger and drew a talisman, and shouted: "Taishang Laojun is as anxious as the law!

I heard a bang, and the candles on both sides suddenly burst into a large string of fires. It attracted a lot of villagers to amaze.

Then, there was no ......

The villagers looked at each other one by one, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing for the Taoist priests.

The Taoist disciple standing on the side hurriedly leaned over and asked in a low voice. "Master, isn't it working?"

"Go away!" The angry Taoist priest pushed the Taoist away, gritted his teeth, reached out and felt a gossip, and slapped it heavily on the talisman seal!

Suddenly, an imperceptible silver light broke away from the talisman seal and drifted towards the pitch-black distance.

In the darkness of heaven and earth, this silver light danced gently like a firefly, flying over the mountains, over the rivers, and flying higher and higher, until it was impossible to see the appearance of the earth clearly.

......

After a whole night of tossing and turning, at dawn, the group went all the way north in the dark, and had reached a place thirty miles away from the village, and they were all tired and out of breath.

Looking at the sunlight shining through the clouds in the sky, the monkey grinned and said, "Take a break." ”

Saying this, all the demons immediately collapsed and sat down one by one. As far as the eye could see, only the hoarfrost and the monkey were still standing.

Although it is also uncultivated, the monkey's stamina has always been a little stronger than that of other monsters. But the hoarfrost was very surprising.

I didn't rest for a day and night, I kept hurrying, I couldn't take care of food, and the demon who had just transformed was not much stronger than a person, in this case, even the tall bull's head was a little unbearable, but she still insisted.

The little blushing was as if he had exhausted himself.

The outside world is so strange, full of unknowns and fears. However, the little girl who left home has already tensed her nerves and is determined to live well and live up to her parents' expectations.

Looking at the hoarfrost, the monkey casually said, "Take a break." ”

"Hmm. Nodding heavily, White Frost sat down.

The group of monsters were either lying on their backs with a big grin, or leaning on their legs, but Bai Shuang was the only one who was sitting on his knees.

This is probably the difference between humans and demons.

These three realms are the three realms of immortals and demons.

In the Heavenly Court, the immortals with heavy weapons in their hands have a powerful ability to call the wind and rain. In the demon capital, the power of the peerless demons is not far behind, and even most of the time, the brave and combative monsters actually have the upper hand.

However, indoctrination and civilization are things that only exist in the demon capital.

All human beings have cultivated, and they are all immortals, so the heavenly court is a single race, and human beings enjoy the protection of the heavenly court, but the demons are not.

This is probably the only race in heaven and earth that is defined by exclusivity. All non-human immortal cultivators are collectively referred to as demons. This is a race that has been screwed together, after all, it's hard to tell what is the difference between a sheep demon looking at a bull demon and a human looking at a pig, isn't it?

No matter how low the status of human beings is, they will be somewhat educated, but the little demons who have just transformed are just a group of reckless, and they can't even speak. No one will care if they live or die, let alone educate.

This is a tragedy that a race has been doomed from the day it was born.

In the early morning grove, a group of youkai just stayed quietly.

The monkey closes its eyes and rests its mind.

White Frost sat on her knees, her eyes down, and she did not speak, nor slept.

The black tail curled up in the corner with its tail crossed and squinting, while the cow head and fat intestine lay down and slept with a big grin. As for Da Hong, his face was as if he had died more than a dozen of his own mothers, and he wrote the word despair alive, leaning on the edge of the big tree and throwing stones vigorously.

Soon the snoring of the fat intestine started, followed by the old cow, and the sound was earth-shattering.

I guess I got used to it, and the others didn't say anything.

Time just ticked by.

When the sun was three poles, the monkey suddenly opened its eyes. At this time, the half-asleep white frost suddenly woke up and looked at the monkey nervously.

Seeing that the white frost grinned, the monkey picked up the stone and threw it at the fat intestine, which smashed right on the belly of the hill.

Suddenly, the fat intestine woke up. Don't look at his body swollen like a ball, he stood up after brushing the ground: "What are you doing, what are you doing!"

At this shouting, everyone else woke up one by one.

Glancing at everyone, the monkey laughed and said, "It's nothing, go find something to eat." ”

"Why am I going?"

"Because you eat the most, otherwise I'll go!"

There was no way, the fat intestine had to hang a look of death, and staggered into the distance.

"You go too. The monkey pointed to the black tail and said.

"Oh. In response, the black tail sneakily followed in the direction of the fat intestine.

"Or ...... I'll go too?" asked White Frost in a whisper.

The monkey waved his hand: "You stay here." They are familiar with the wild, just let them go. ”

Dahong, who was on the side, glared at the monkey and began to throw stones again silently. This time it was thrown so hard that it crackled at the trunk of a tree not far away.

Glancing at Da Hong quietly, the monkey whispered, "Hey, are you still angry?"

Da Hong blinked and said, "No." ”

"Really?"

"Not really. ”

He said no, but the hand that threw the stone was harder.

"Okay, I'll owe you that money. ”

"When I owe it. White Frost suddenly interjected.

The monkey silently glanced at the white frost and said, "Anyway, the news of yesterday's market has already spread, and it is impossible for us to go to a place where there are people now.

The bull head, who was already asleep, opened his eyes slightly and said, "I don't have to pay back my share, you can pay them back." ”

After saying that, it closed again.

Saying this, the monkey immediately smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you." ”

"No thanks. The bull head closed his eyes and replied, "Everyone is in the same boat, there is nothing to worry about." ”

Bai Shuang, who was still kneeling, hurriedly bowed and bowed to the bull's head.

Probably a little embarrassed, Da Hong had to whisper: "My share...... I don't need to. ”

"Thanks. The monkey raised an eyebrow.

If you want to pluck the hair from this iron rooster, probably only he, a monkey who doesn't play according to the rules, can do it.

"But what are we going to do next, have you figured it out?"

"Go north, all the way north, go to ...... Where the news doesn't get there, then we get back to our old business. It would be even better if you could learn a teacher and an art by the way. What do you think?"

"Do you still play Monkey King?" asked Bai Shuang.

The monkey grinned and replied, "Yes." ”

After a while, the fat intestines and black tails who went out to look for food came back, and they didn't bring much food with them, just a few dozen sour fruits. But something is better than nothing.

After a little trimming and eating, the group set out on the road again, all the way north.

Unbeknownst to them, half a month after they left, a chariot from the Heavenly Court Patrol Mansion landed in the village where Bai Shuang originally lived and found the middle-aged Taoist priest.
