Chapter 20: Fate

"Daxian, slow down, slow down...... Daxian, the poor road can't keep up, slow down ......"

In the misty forest, Yin walked in front, and Zhu Gangguan followed behind him with one hand holding the Taoist priest.

It is said to be holding, but in fact it is more like a hard drag.

Zhu Gangguan's cultivation had already turned into a god realm, and the fog around him was nothing to him. However, under his guidance, the Taoist priest was stumbling. Originally, it was just a little skin injury, but he had just been stabbed in the leg, and now he has countless scars on his body.

The blood oozing from the wound on the thigh dripped all the way.

However, these are not what Zhu Gangguan cares about now, from beginning to end, Zhu Gangguan's attention is on Yin Xing in front.

It's probably a relationship that doesn't have a good impression of Zhu Gangguana, although it is to lead the way, but Yin Xing didn't mean to wait for him. Gradually, the two sides have distanced themselves for a long time.

"Daxian, the poor road is really not good. Or...... You're carrying me, aren't you?"

Glancing at the Taoist priest indifferently, Zhu Gang said, "Yes, but I only carry people who can't move." Why don't you get a knife in your other leg?"

"This ......" At this moment, the middle-aged Taoist priest has the heart to die. Crying and mournful, he said, "Daxian, why don't you send the poor Dao back directly?"

"Isn't it your wish to catch the bone spirit, and both of my colleagues died because of it. If you really didn't want to follow, Ben would not object, but instead of sending you back, I would send you to accompany my two colleagues. How?"

When this sentence was put down, the middle-aged Taoist priest immediately swallowed his saliva in fright and didn't dare to speak anymore.

Seeing this, Zhu Gangguan said leisurely: "There is still a place where you can be used next, as long as you listen to me, if you do a good job, it is not impossible to go back and give you some rewards." But if you dare not do your ......"

As he spoke, the corners of Zhu Gangguan's mouth rose slightly, smiled, and snorted.

The implication of this could not be clearer.

The cold sweat on the priest's forehead grew worse and worse. He couldn't be pleased with this promise.

......

Time ticked by.

A group of monsters are still squatting in the grass at the entrance of the three-star cave of the slanting moon, cats, waiting. It's all already sweating.

Since I set off early in the morning, I haven't seen half a figure come out of the view, not even a person who came out to sweep the floor. Monkeys have to wonder if this is really a Taoist temple.

Finally, Xuanye came, knocked on the door and went in, thinking it would cause a little splash, but there was no, and another half an hour passed......

"This, will monks and Taoist priests still visit each other?"

"God knows. We have never been monks and Taoists. ”

"Not only have we never been monks and Taoists, but we are not even human. ”

"Brother Monkey, shall we just knock on the door? Look, the little monk went in as soon as he knocked. It's not the way to wait. ”

The monkey shook his head slowly.

"I knocked it yesterday, and I went in, but what's the use? As long as I can worship the door, let alone squat for a day, even if I squat for a year, I will squat. How long has it been?"

"Yes, if you can learn magic, you can say anything!" the bull head hurriedly responded.

Gritting his teeth, the monkey said with a determined face: "I don't believe it, they don't have to eat, drink, or even go out." ”

Time passed bit by bit.

Suddenly, there was a booming sound, and a crack opened in the door.

Suddenly, all the monsters were refreshed, and they hurriedly looked over with wide eyes one by one.

I saw Xuan Ye step over the threshold and walked out, turned around with his hands folded and saluted Shao Ying who was following him, and walked away with the big bamboo basket on his back.

A group of monsters, Shaoying, just watched Xuanye leave.

Until Xuanye's figure was no longer visible in the distance, Shaoying was about to turn around and close the door, when the monkey suddenly jumped up.

"It's now!"

As he spoke, regardless of whether the other companions reacted or not, he spread his legs and ran towards the gate.

"This senior brother! This senior brother! Hello! Hahahaha, remember me?"

Shaoying slowly turned her head and looked at the monkey that was running wildly.

Running all the way, eating and sleeping in the open, now, the monkey's dress can be said to be worse than when it first encountered hoarfrost.

A coarse cloth garment, with a hole here, a corner there, and in some places even broken into strips of cloth. If you take it off, you may not be able to put it back together. There was an unknown amount of sand, mud, and even blood on it. Countless colors melt into the end, turning into a black lump, gray.

The shoes are long gone, barefoot, monkey hair from the cuffs and trouser legs, plus the movements of the hairy hands and feet......

On the other hand, Shaoying was also wearing a gray dress. The difference is that his gray is translucent, although the color is simple, but it is clean and tidy, plus that straight posture, hooked nose, handsome appearance......

From a distance, these two people are not the same world at all.

Running all the way to a distance of two feet from Shaoying and stopped, the monkey gasped, smirked, and scratched his head.

"Senior brother, do you remember me?"

Shaoying looked at the monkey indifferently.

"Remember, you are the monkey demon who apprenticed yesterday. The master has already said that he will not accept you. ”

"That...... Can I ask the master why he didn't take it?" said the monkey, stretching its neck and grinning.

At this question, Shaoying's brows suddenly frowned slightly, looked at the monkey, and spit out two words: "Can't." ”

"Can't......?" the monkey's expression froze.

As soon as he turned around, Shaoying turned around to close the door. The monkey hurriedly ran over and stretched out a hand stuck in the crack of the door: "Senior brother, senior brother." There's something to say, there's something to say. You say no, I don't ask. Can I ask something else?"

Shaoying looked at the monkey in front of him expressionlessly.

"For example, what do you like or hate about the old man, and what do you do on weekdays...... Look, can you give me a breath of air. In the future, if I am fortunate enough to visit my disciples, I will definitely repay my senior brother heavily!"

As he spoke, there was another round of sneering. It looked so funny.

Shaoying looked at him coldly: "Get out of the way." ”

"Don't let it!" The monkey hurriedly stretched out his other hand together and stuck it in the crack of the door: "Senior brother, don't say it, junior brother, I won't leave today!"

Before the words fell, I saw Shaoying raise his hand, and the monkey immediately fell back, flew out entirely, smashed heavily on the ground, and slipped for a long time. Forced to make a mark on the open ground.

Those hands were wiped with blood on the spot.

With a bang, the door slammed shut. There is also the sound of locking.

When the monkey had recovered and looked up, all that was left was the empty closed gate.

A group of little demons hurriedly surrounded him and helped him up.

Black Tail angrily pointed to the gate and shouted, "You're sick, we haven't done anything, what do you mean by being in such a hurry?"

The monkey was in a hurry, and immediately slapped the back of the head of the black tail. At this shot, all the monsters couldn't help but be stunned.

"Stupid!" the monkey lowered his voice, "what if he hears it?"

After that, the monkey immediately put up that sneering face again and shouted, "Senior brother, I'm fine, it's just a little bruise." Do not worry. That one...... You're busy, I'll come back tomorrow. ”

As he spoke, he laughed twice in a particularly loud voice. After laughing, he exhaled, and his expression was in a trance. The companions around him watched him silently.

"Go back and come back tomorrow. ”

"Oh...... Oh. ”

With the monkey in their arms, the group turned around and went down the mountain.

......

Inside the gate, Shaoying leaned against her back, quietly listening to the movement outside.

......

At dusk, the monkey returned to Xuanyin Temple with the support of a group of friends.

The white frost, who was sprinkling water at the door, saw the monkey from a distance, was startled, and hurriedly ran over.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing. The monkey replied casually.

"Nothing?"

The black tail on the side said aggrievedly: "I was beaten by the guy who turned into an eagle yesterday." ”

"Beaten?"

"Nonsense! Where did he hit me? He just pushed! No, he didn't even push!"

"Then how did you end up like this?"

Without looking at the hoarfrost, the monkey rubbed his eyes and only replied lightly: "Don't ask." ”

With the help of his companions, the monkey sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard.

The palms of those hands were slightly open, and they were bloody. Not only the palms, but also the knees and waists were bruised. Although this injury is not a problem to the monkey at all, it looks strange and scary.

White Frost hurried to the room to find bandages and other items, but could not find them, and finally had to tear a few straps from the clothes and bandage them for the monkey.

Actually, it's a bit of a fuss.

For monkeys, major injuries and minor injuries have long been commonplace. No, I had more serious injuries two days ago, but the internal injuries didn't look as bloody as the massive abrasions like the one now. But the hoarfrost insisted on bandaging, and it was up to her.

After tossing and turning like this for a while, I finally bandaged the places on my body that should be bandaged, and applied the medicine where I should be medicated.

After a while, Xuanye pushed open the door with a bamboo basket on his back. The first time I entered the door, I saw the hands of the monkey wrapped in white bandages. For a moment, they were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

Seeing Xuanye come back, the monkey was stunned for a moment, and then slowly put on a smiling face.

"Master, are you back?"

"Your hand ......"

"It's fine, it's just a little injury. The monkey grinned and said, "I climbed the mountain and accidentally fell." Hey, out of the way. ”

Seeing that the monkey really didn't look like something was wrong, Genye breathed a sigh of relief.

After a little relief, Xuanye suddenly looked at the monkey with a smile and walked in front of him leisurely.

"Guess what, what did the teacher bring you back?"

As he spoke, Xuanye had already removed the bamboo basket from his back.

The yokai craned their necks.

I saw Xuan Ye reach out and take out a few pieces of paper from under the green cloth, hold them high, and shout: "Look! Didn't you say that you want to study the Fa?

Before the words fell, a group of monsters had already hugged and snatched away the paper that Xuanye had raised above his head. Rushed straight into the main hall where the oil lamps were lit.

"Is it a spell?"

"It seems that I can't understand these words. ”

"Hahahaha, it's really a spell! It's good! It's good!"

For a while, the demons in the hall were ecstatic and cheered.

In the courtyard, only Xuan Ye was left standing alone, looking back at the lively main hall, with a look of loss.
