West Niu Hezhou, early in the morning.

The mountain breeze slowly blew and lowered the wormwood, and the dew that condensed on the leaves slowly dripped down.

A white figure led the horse and appeared at the end of the road.

The sound of bells echoed slowly through the mountains.

White clothes, delicate faces, high buns, wind and dust. There is a heroic spirit between the eyebrows, but there is also a lingering tiredness and trance.

After a long time, she walked to the top of the hill and saw the bustling market in the distance.

A bird flew over her head and landed on a branch not far away, feeding the nesting young.

She quietly watched the bustling crowd in the bazaar in the distance, facing the wind, staring intently.

Unlike the Southern Zhanbu Continent, there is a large-scale unified human kingdom. A market of this scale, with a radius of a hundred miles, is afraid that there is only such a place.

"Get around, or go in?" she thought.

After a while, she finally took a step.

The crisp sound of the bell rang again.

The weather in early autumn is cold, but there is also a hint of summer, and the mountains are green.

The exhaled breath dissolves into a faint mist and dissipates in the wind.

She walked cautiously until she became a member of the crowd of the bazaar, until she walked through the crowds of people. There was apprehension, unease, vigilance, and all sorts of other emotions in his eyes.

The hands holding the reins were so tight and tight that they were all sweating. It wasn't until he was sure that no one was paying special attention to her that he settled down a little.

"Girl. ”

Suddenly, a voice stopped her.

Her eyes widened suddenly, and her body froze. The step paused in mid-air. Standing still, with her back to the comer, she held her breath and didn't dare to look back.

The crowd of people around them walked by in a steady stream.

"Buy a sugar gourd?"

When she heard the words "sugar gourd", she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around, she saw an old man in his sixties, hunched over and holding a long stick full of sugar gourds in his hand.

"Buy one, right?" a wrinkled hand held a sugar gourd in front of her, and the old man's wrinkled face was full of smiles.

Looking at the sugar gourd, she asked, "Old man, how did you tell that I was a woman?"

"Isn't that obvious? How can a man be dressed as white as you, and besides, your face ...... Hehehehehe. The old man laughed dryly.

She reached out and touched her face with some trepidation, a little embarrassed.

Time passed little by little, and the woman in white stood quietly until the old man's hand holding the sugar gourd was a little confused, and she said, "Old man, I want to buy it, but ...... I didn't bring any money. ”

"You don't have any money, girl, you're not a local, are you? ”

She pursed her lips and smiled, shook her head, and said, "Old man, I am indeed not a local. However, I don't live far away, I live in ......."

Turning, she reached out to point in a certain direction, but suddenly stopped. The original smile seemed to be pulled away in an instant, leaving only a trance on his face, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back.

Taking a deep breath, she turned her head, pursed her lips, and blinked a pair of big eyes, but she never looked directly at the old man.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.

After a brief silence, just as the old man opened her mouth slightly, ready to say something more, she suddenly took a step back, turned and led her horse away, ignoring the old man calling behind her.

White frost, this used to be her name, and as for whether it is now, I'm afraid even she can't tell.

Walking away for a while, until it was far enough away, White Frost quietly turned back and found that the old man had not followed her.

Looking at the old man in the distance who was selling sugar gourds to others, Bai Shuang slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a gong and drum sounded.

White Frost's gaze was immediately attracted.

"Come on, come on, the old folks who have passed by have all come and look!"

A man with monkey face and makeup jumped on the wooden box, danced and beat the gong, and shouted at the top of his voice: "When the troupe first arrived in Guibaodi, they lined up two new plays, and invited the old folks to enjoy the show." If you think it's good, give a few rewards, and if you think it's bad, give some applause, okay?"

After shouting in that loud voice, all of a sudden, the flow of people gathered towards him, forming a large circle.

"What are you doing?" someone asked.

"Do you need to talk about that?" the monkey gestured with his teeth and claws.

"Uh...... Monkey!"

"Tsk, you're half right!"

"Half of the guess is right, so what do you say?"

"Do you see? see no? and this!!" The monkey face grabbed the hair on his hand, stretched his head to expose the hair on his neck, and pointed to the makeup on his face: "And with this fierce monkey face!"

"Isn't that still a monkey?"

"Monkey demon, you understand, monkey demon, you don't know. ”

The crowd of onlookers booed ——!.

Across the crowd, White Frost led the horse, tilted his head, and looked curiously at the monkey's face standing on a high place, and was about to laugh at the funny appearance.

A white-haired old man in a gray robe and a high bun passed by the white frost and walked straight to the teahouse next to him.

The moment he crossed the threshold of the teahouse, the white-haired old man paused, turned his face slightly, and glanced at Baishuang intentionally or unintentionally.

"Sir, please come here. The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile.

"Oh. Nodding silently, under the guidance of the shopkeeper, the white-haired old man went up the stairs to the second floor, but his eyes still glanced towards the direction where the white frost was, intentionally or unintentionally.

The noise in front of the stage continued.

Someone shouted, "If you want me to say, you're not only not a monkey demon, you're not a monkey." You don't have to spend any money on acting? Where is the monkey's hair like this? I think we haven't seen it?"

"That's it! Acting doesn't cost a lot of money, it's not like it at all! Lao Tzu fights more monkeys than you eat!" one of Orion chimed in.

Hearing this, the people nodded in agreement, and suddenly the boos became even louder.

The monkey scratched his head, pretending to be embarrassed, but one hand was swinging desperately behind him: "Hurry up, hurry up!

"Oh oh!" The face with bull head drama makeup stretched out from behind the curtain of the stage nodded hurriedly: "Ready to start!

"Not to mention anything else, Brother Monkey is quite good at soliciting business. ”

"Everyone, be careful! I didn't make any money last time, so I have to make a lot of money this time!"

"Okay!"

With the shouting of the bull's head, the people in the background worked more energetically.

On the edge of the fence on the second floor of the teahouse, the white-haired old man had already found a place to sit down, turned his face slightly sideways, and his gaze slowly fell on the white frost who was leading the horse in the crowd.

In his expression, there seemed to be some doubts.

At this moment, Bai Shuang, who was watching the play, didn't notice that such a pair of eyes were looking at her.

As a ragged bull demon limped onto the stage on crutches, the lyrics rang out.

"There is no place to live, and there is no place to live. He was unclothed and frosty. If you don't have enough to eat, you will starve. He is also the soul-chasing and life-killing heavenly general, who will kill us and others ......"

Wait, something seems wrong......

Those who watched the play on the side of the stage, and those who stuttered melons on the opposite stairs couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The monster came out miserably and complained about the heavenly soldiers chasing and killing, what is going on? Isn't the normal way of acting the monster do evil, and then the heavenly soldiers kill the demon and eliminate the demon?

Fortunately, the audience tolerance in this small town is generally good. As long as you have to watch, it doesn't matter what you play, let's see it first.

Although the play is weird, it still continues, and between the hustle and bustle, it reaches the climax.

With the sound of gongs and drums, on the stage, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, two people who looked very funny were wearing simple wooden armor, one pretending to be a heavenly general, and the other pretending to be a heavenly soldier, had begun to chase the bull's head in circles.

The strange thing is that the two people who play the heavenly soldiers and generals are wearing masks, but the bull head who plays the monster has a bare face and only has a face. This is the opposite of ordinary theater troupes.

After a burst of blowing, playing, and singing, the heavenly soldiers and generals finally "knocked the monster down", and showed off their power for a while.

Just as the heavenly soldiers raised their simple spears to stab the bull demon, the bull demon sang again: "The fate is not good, and I will go to Huangquan." Miserable, knock on the emperor. Who will save the heavens and the earth? Only the ability to reach the heavens, the saint of heaven. ”

"Monkey King...... St.

I only heard a burst of singing in the background, and said: "The great sage in front of me called my name, and the cry was cruel and shocking to my heart, isn't it my clan in danger?

Before the audience could figure it out, and listening to the sound of drums, a rope slowly hung down from the top of the stage.

To be precise...... It was the man himself who hung himself down. There are only five people in the entire troupe, three on the stage, one hanging, and the rest of the people in the backstage dressed as chicken demons have to play gongs and drums, and they are already very busy.

"Yo, isn't this the 'monkey demon' just now? What is this for?" the audience began to discuss.

Probably because of the relationship between pulling the rope by himself, the hanging monkey demon didn't land for a while, and sang directly in mid-air: "It turned out that the soldiers of that day, one by one, were fierce, only killing and abusing my own clan, angry and hating me, and waiting for me to exert my ability, and waiting for me to save the poor, and waiting for me to kill the soldiers who overturned the sky with a stick." The best of the demons, the world's best. Pull out the mountains and rivers, and turn the earth upside down. hoe the strong and help the weak, punish the evil and promote the good, only I am the Monkey King!"

As soon as this scene came out, the people in the audience were stunned one by one, and even the few people eating watermelon on the opposite steps couldn't help but stop talking.

"Save the monster...... Fight the Heavenly Soldiers?"

"Phew!" After a short period of astonishment, the people eating melons on the opposite steps spat out melon seeds and shouted, "What the hell is this?"

"That's it, Monkey King, what the hell, I've never heard of it!" the audience began to heckle.

A piece of melon peel flew onto the stage and hit the monkey's head, and all the makeup was spent.

"What do you know? Monkey King, do you understand? Monkey King!" the monkey face that was still hanging in the air actually choked with the audience in public.

In this situation, the hoarfrost on the periphery couldn't help but widen their eyes, and the old man drinking tea on the second floor of the teahouse also frowned slightly.

Well, after all, it's a twist, and it's better than chasing endlessly.

For a while, the onlookers couldn't help but refresh themselves.

Finally, the monkey face finally struggled to land, and the audience didn't react, but it was a heavenly soldier, and the reaction was great. One by one, they rolled all over the ground, crying and grabbing the ground. It's like you're about to die.

It can be seen that the audience's eyeballs are about to fall off one by one.

chased on the stage again, this time it became a monster chaser. To be precise, it's a monkey-faced chaser.

"Ouch, it looks like the protagonist hasn't appeared yet. There must be a more powerful general to come. ”

"Yes, yes, it must be. That's how every play is played. Maybe it's Erlang God Yang Jian!"

After a brief moment of astonishment, everyone began to speculate.

However, the screenwriter of this play obviously does not play according to the rules.

In front of everyone's eyes, the heavenly soldiers and generals knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, swearing that they would never kill monsters again in the future. Then, the "Monkey King" sang: "Open the world with a stick, create and incarnate supernatural powers, come to my hands, only see the eight directions, only see the blood drunk, do not spare people, against the enemy He Zengci——!?

After singing, "pop", the two sticks "beat the heavenly soldiers and generals to death".

Then, there is no then!

When the curtain fell, the otherwise noisy streets fell silent.

"Yokai...... Beat the Heavenly Soldier to death?"

A piece of melon skin slipped silently from the hands of the melon-eating crowd on the opposite step, and the stuffed mouths had been frozen.

At this moment, everyone's mouth was wide open, their eyes wide, and their faces were stunned. Even hoarfrost is no exception.

Grow so big...... It's the first time she has seen a play dare to act like this.

The originally noisy bazaar was so silent that even the vendors forgot to sell it.

After a long time, the old man on the second floor of the teahouse couldn't help but laugh.

After a while, the curtain opened, and the first to come out was the monkey face: "Come on, come on, fellow fathers and fellow villagers, after the play is over, those who have money have a money field, and those who don't have money ...... You can go home and get the money!"

"Take your mother!" a piece of melon peel slammed into his face in a perfect arc.

"Beat him!"

"What a fucking mess!"

"Fight to the death!"

Countless angry spectators rubbed shoulders with the white frost, waving their fists and pouring onto the stage, and for a while, the scene was uncontrollable. Screams and screams came and went.

The monkey's face dodged left and right on the stage, so he was not embarrassed.

Looking at his appearance, Baishuang also laughed, and after laughing, he suddenly lost it.

"If there really is a Monkey King, it would be great. Bowing her head slightly, she led her horse and staggered past the swarming crowd towards the end of the street.

"Where is the white bone spirit!" At this moment, a shout came from behind him.

White Frost jerked his head back.

I saw a paper talisman float through the crowd and accurately pasted on her forehead.

In an instant, a skeleton phantom exploded from her!

The next moment, in front of everyone, the skeleton phantom suddenly retracted back into the white frost's body!

Silence, silence like dead silence. The chaotic streets suddenly fell silent.

Everyone was staring blankly, and everyone was holding their breath.

Even the monkey face, who had just been beaten all over the ground and looking for teeth, slowly got up with the tilted stage, and opened his eyes wide in astonishment.

After a brief moment of dizziness, Bai Shuang reached out and tore off the talisman attached to his forehead, clutching his chest with a pale face.

Cold sweat slowly slid down her forehead.

She slowly raised her head and stared deadly ahead.

"Youkai——!"

With a scream, the streets suddenly exploded, and countless people rushed to run.

In the midst of the chaos, only two people stood motionless, one with white frost and the other with a monkey face on the edge of the stage.

He tilted his head slightly, staring at the white frost with some curiosity.

In the attic, the white-haired old man's eyes slowly narrowed into a slit.

In the crowd, a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing an ill-fitting Taoist robe and holding a dusty sword walked out with his Taoist disciples swaggering, staring at the white frost with round eyes, and shouting in a long voice: "Don't panic——! there is a poor Dao here, and the white bone spirit can't hurt you!"

The old man at the tea house on the second floor frowned slightly.

Seeing the Taoist priest, Bai Shuang slowly swallowed his saliva, and the hand holding the reins trembled slightly, trembling slightly.

The corners of the Taoist priest's mouth raised: "What, I didn't expect the poor Dao to chase here, right?"

Before the words fell, I saw that the white frost had already turned around and turned onto the horse.

"Ride!" shouted, and the horse had raised its hooves and galloped away in the opposite direction to the Taoist priest. Along the way, people fled and retreated.

The actors who had just been beaten down got up one by one, looked at the backs of the white frost and looked at each other. At this moment, they had been forgotten in the corner, along with the monkey face.

The Taoist priest smiled slightly and said, "You, you can't run." ”

The old man at the tea house raised his head slightly, and watched as White Frost rode his horse and quickly rushed from one end of the street to the other.

However, just as the hoarfrost was about to turn, a group of folkmen appeared.

They gathered together with sharpened sticks and formed a horse rejection array!

White Frost was startled, and quickly tightened the reins and turned the horse's head, and with a clamp between his legs, the horse galloped again. Unfortunately, before she had run a few steps, a long rope was already in front of her.

There is no turning back.

The young girl frowned, gritted her teeth, and pulled hard, and the horse jumped to her feet and jumped over the rope.

Before the horse could stand firm, a large number of people had poured out of the surrounding alleys.

Like the people who had preceded them, they formed a horse-repellent formation to enclose the White Frost with sharpened sticks. White Frost had no choice but to drive the horse to the left and right in the middle of the rejecting array.

No matter how she struggled, the encirclement was shrinking smaller and smaller.

At this moment, the little girl's tears were about to flow out.

The Taoist priest stood in the distance and watched quietly, looking at it with a comfortable look.

A man took advantage of the hoarfrost's inattention, took a step forward, and struck the horse in the leg with a sweep.

Suddenly, the horse's body suddenly leaned, and the white frost was thrown aside, and slammed down on the flour stall on the side of the street.

With a heavy fall, the entire stall suddenly collapsed, and the snow-white flour quickly tumbled and spread.

The Taoist priest had already rolled up his sleeves and slowly came to the center with small steps.

The dust cleared, and the petite figure of White Frost appeared in the collapsed stall, and the whole body was covered with a layer of gray-white dust.

She curled up and looked at the Taoist priest in horror.

A wisp of blood slowly dripped from the corner of his mouth, and in this white expanse, it was unusually dazzling.

In the crowd, a toddler old couple was lured out.

The moment he saw the old couple, the white frost froze for a moment, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Dad, mother......" The voice trembled slightly.

The old man closed his eyes and turned his face slightly to look at the hoarfrost. As for the old woman, she had already knelt down for the Taoist priest, reached out and pulled the corner of the Taoist priest's clothes and said: "Dao Chief, Dao Chief, there must be a mistake, you see, she is bleeding, she must be my family Shuang'er......!

Before she could finish speaking, the Taoist priest had already pushed Bai Shuang's mother away and scolded angrily: "Bold White Bone Spirit, even now, you still want to confuse the second elder of the Bai family!

"I didn't, you wronged me!" cried White Frost at the top of her throat.

"Hmph! I don't know how to repent when I die, such a demon, look at the poor way, this will accept you!"

Sipping tea, the white-haired old man sitting on the second floor muttered to himself: "White ossification into a demon, there is no demonic energy, and it retains the memory of his life, which is rare." ”

As he spoke, he slowly stood up with the table and pulled out a few copper plates from his sleeves.

At this moment, the Taoist priest had already taken out the long sword in the hand of the Taoist disciple on the side and walked quickly in front of Bai Shuang, with words in his mouth, he took two steps forward, raised the sword in his hand and aimed it at Bai Shuang's chest and was about to stab it!

"Stop——!" a voice came.

The white-haired old man's figure suddenly froze, and his face looked into the distance.

Looking up, they saw a figure standing on a high place, with his back to the street.

Under the harsh sunlight, only the outline of a suit of armor could be faintly seen.

The white-haired old man in the tea party couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Who is it?" shouted the Taoist priest, holding his long sword.

Before the words fell, I heard the man suddenly sing: "Go to sea to seek the way, and die for a lifetime." The great immortal teaches karma, and jumps to death and life. Wander around the world, at ease. Let's see me gather demons, and watch me ask for my life for demons to earn a living. All my people are sheltered, and they swear not to teach their people to live and die in vain——!"

The word "death" at the end of the word "dead" was forcefully pulled out of the trill.

This singing made everyone present even more confused. This...... What's the situation?

After hesitating for a long time, the Taoist priest cautiously asked, "...... are you?"

"West, Qi, heaven, great, saint!"

One word at a time, as soon as these four words came out, all of a sudden, the people on the street were stunned, and they looked at each other one by one.

"Monkey King?" White Frost stared blankly at the figure.

"Is there really a Monkey King?"

The sound of discussion was in the ears, and even the Taoist priest was a little apprehensive when he heard it.

The Taoist disciple on the side asked in a low voice, "Master, what is the Monkey King?"

"That's it, that's it...... I don't know. Glancing at the people who were talking around him, the Taoist priest whispered: "Looking at their appearance, it seems that they all know, so it's better to be careful." ”

The originally chaotic street suddenly quieted down, and the condescending "Monkey King" on the roof did not move, nor did the people and Taoist priests on the street.

The two sides confronted each other, and time passed bit by bit.

The white-haired old man standing on the second floor shook his head slowly and smiled faintly.

A wisp of white clouds drifted by, slowly obscuring the sun, and what appeared in front of everyone was...... A monkey face mask?

"Don't let him fool you! he's the monkey demon just now!" someone shouted.

"Oh, it's exposed! Then goodbye everyone!ahhahahaha!" Before everyone could react, the monkey face standing on the roof had already spread its legs and ran away.

Lowering his head, the Taoist priest suddenly found that the white frost was gone! After looking around, he realized that the white frost had been carried by several other actors to the corner of the street!

"Chase ——! don't let them run!"

With a shout, the people who were besieging the white frost took steps one by one, and chased them in the direction they had left. A lot of people didn't even realize what was happening, and the streets were in shambles.

The second floor of the teahouse was about to leave, and the old man hesitated slightly, then sat back in his seat, watching from afar.

Soon, the troupe carried the hoarfrost and quickly rushed from one end of the town to the other.

"Who are you?"

"We are not human. ”

"It's not a person? that's ...... Youkai?"

"What do you say?" said the running monkey grinned sideways at the white frost who was being carried on the shoulders of the bull.

Yes, it's a real monkey demon. Not only the monkey demon is real, but the cow demon and the chicken demon are all real! The whole troupe is a monster!

A bunch of sub-monsters painted their faces...... Playing a monster?

White Frost's eyes widened and she looked at the monkey's face in disbelief, her brain was a little stuck, and she couldn't turn around.

"This way!" a sudden brake, and the monkey face took advantage of the fact that no one turned around and fled into the alley.

"Oh! good!" the bull's head, which was carrying the hoarfrost, hurriedly followed.

The other youkai also squeezed into the alley, and for a while, the alley was crowded.

Soon, the Taoist priest swarmed past them with the pursuing minfu.

The cockscomb head squeezed to the monkey's side, and said in a low voice, "Are you sick?

"Hey, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, haven't you heard of it? As he spoke, Monkey Face stretched out a finger to pick up the white frost's chin.

This pick, the white frost's face turned white, and he looked at the monkey face in a daze.

"I snatched it to be Mrs. Zhai, do you have any opinions?"

"You!" the cockscomb was momentarily speechless.

Sticking his head out to look out, Monkey Face turned around and crept out.

"Quick, no one, run this way. ”

With the monkey face stretching out his hand, a nest of monsters poured out of the alley again, carrying the hoarfrost and began to run in the opposite direction.

After a while, he had slipped under the nose of the white-haired old man. The passers-by around them stared at them dumbfounded, not even figuring out what was happening.

When passing by the stage, the cockscomb turned out the money bag left behind and carried it in his arms, so he reluctantly followed the team.

And only at this time, the Taoist priest who chased in the wrong direction was out of breath and chased back with the men and horses, and by the time they arrived at the stage, they had been thrown far away.

Looking at the crooked people, and then at the demons who were already far away in the sky, the Taoist priest was also helpless, so he had to shout at the top of his voice: "White bone spirit, the poor Dao will catch you sooner or later——!"

As soon as he finished shouting, he himself sat on the ground, lying speechless for a long time.

......

"Although this monkey demon is a little demon, it is very urgent and talented, which is rare. As he spoke, the white-haired old man nodded silently, put the copper plate in his hand on the table, got up, and left.
