Chapter 43: The Smell of Dragon Meat

An hour later, Wukong transformed into a small novice, holding a broken bowl in his hand, and swayed to the city gate.

When I raised my eyes, I saw that the city wall was in tatters, only at the gate of the city, two tall stone lions stood left and right, very mighty.

On the city gate, the three big characters of "Anfeng City" are also vertical and horizontal, and the pen is sharp, but countless years have passed, the font is mottled, and some parts have fallen off, and they don't know where to go.

Goku walked into the city with his feet raised.

In the city, on the only street more than three meters wide, I saw that the doors and windows of every house were closed. On the streets, there was silence.

After walking around, Goku found that his family was like this. He scratched his head, wondering in his heart, what happened to this small city? Could it be related to that thunderbolt on a sunny day?

After carefully looking for half a night, Wukong finally knocked on a small inn.

The name of the inn: "Gedian Inn".

What a strange name.

Wukong paid a small deposit and asked for a few decent snacks before returning to his room.

In the room, Goku reclines on the bed with his hands crossed.

Now, as long as he has free time, he can't help but think about his own path, and after this catastrophe, in addition to meditation and cultivation, thinking has become his only homework.

The wounds on his body had healed, and his mental state was still high, except for the slightest fatigue from the daily rush of his body.

Suddenly, a trace of strange fragrance, if there is nothing, disappears with the wind.

Goku was clever, and one rolled over and sat up.

What scent?

He got up and walked over to the window and gently pushed it open.

Outside, there were no people or animals, and there was silence.

In the sky, there was a faint sound of wind.

The sound of the wind is like the wings of a cicada, inaudible.

Wukong followed the prestige, and saw that at the end of the street, on a snow banyan tree with the thickness of a bowl, the branches and leaves danced lightly, and a leaf fluttered down.

There was no one in the surrounding open space, in the trees, and there was not even a single bird.

But at this time, there was not a hint of breeze outside.

Wukong scratched his bald head, secretly running his fiery eyes, under the gray sky, he saw a crack in the void suddenly tear open, a few seconds later, five strange creatures with shrimp heads or snake heads and fish tails came out of the crack one after another, and the first creature looked at the terrain, waved his hand lightly, and suddenly disappeared, and the other four strange creatures also jumped vertically and horizontally, quickly disappeared around the corner.

Spatial Transport?

These guys, in broad daylight, sneaky, are there any attempts that can't be achieved?

It's just that in this dilapidated town, most of the residents are ordinary people, poor and backward, and their families are surrounded by walls, is there anything worth paying attention to them?

Could it be that the strange smell?

He suddenly remembered the slightest smell just now. The fragrance, although faint, smells, but refreshing the bone marrow, makes people unforgettable.

It's just that the fragrance is gone.

It's almost lunchtime when Goku arrives at the counter, where he decides to talk to the innkeeper about water and dry food. Replenish the dry food first, and leave quickly if there is anything.

While they were discussing, they saw the door being pushed open halfway, and a monk of about twenty years old, dressed in a tattered gray robe, with a shiny head and a black bowl in his hand, walked in.

He looked up and saw Goku, a hint of surprise flashing across his face, but it was fleeting.

The gray-clothed monk walked to the counter, folded his hands and gave a salute, "Shopkeeper, please give the poor monk an upper room", after speaking, he reached out and groped for a copper coin from his pocket and threw it on the counter.

He turned his head, looked at Wukong, and made a compilation with one hand, "This senior brother, look at your face, I don't know where you came from, and where are you going"?

Wukong was just about to answer, when he saw the shopkeeper gently knock on the countertop, "This master, we have a good room in this inn, but", he looked at the gray-clothed monk, his mouth squirmed, and then continued: "It's just that the money for this accommodation is three copper coins a night, and you are still missing two copper coins, I don't know ...... master."

"Oh?", the monk said softly, and hurriedly reached into his arms and groped a few times, and after a while, he said with a little embarrassment: "The poor monk is fasting everywhere, and he is in a hurry today, and there is only this copper coin left in his pocket, the shopkeeper, you see, this"?

The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, "This, the small shop is small, it's really......

"Shopkeeper, I just have two copper coins here, I helped this senior brother pay first", Wukong saw this, and immediately took out two copper coins and threw them on the counter.

The shopkeeper's face turned red, he stopped talking, and hurriedly called Xiao Er to prepare the room.

Only the two Goku were left in the room.

"I don't know what this senior brother is called?" asked Wukong.

"Poor monk Fahai, I don't know what to call my brother"?

"Oh, little monk Kongkong, please call me empty. I don't know where Senior Brother Fahai came to this small city, where did he come from?

"Amitabha Buddha", Fahai single-handedly made a compilation, "It turned out to be the empty senior brother, the poor monk Fahai, three years ago, obeyed the teacher's orders, traveled all over the world, cultivated the way of the world, read the world's history, made good connections, and did his daily homework."

"Oh, good, good", Wukong hurriedly said, "I don't know Senior Brother Fahai", he pointed outside, "This Anfeng small city seems to be very weird, I don't know what Senior Brother thinks"?

Fahai seemed to have something unspeakable, he opened his mouth, and was about to say something, when he heard the door creak, and as soon as the door opened and closed, an old man walked in.

Fahai immediately fell silent.

Looking at the old man carefully, although his hair and beard are snow-white, he is full of energy, and his blue clothes are very elegant, especially a pair of eyes, sharp and sharp, very extraordinary.

The old man glanced at Wukong and Fahai, and between his eyes opening and closing, there was a golden light shining. He froze slightly, walked to a table against the wall, and sat down, moving smoothly without the slightest staggering slowness of an old man.

True Heaven Peak Realm, Wukong muttered in his heart, who is this old man?

The shopkeeper had already walked out of the inner room, and when he saw a guest coming, he hurriedly greeted him.

Goku blinked, didn't linger too long, turned and walked out the door.

The outside world is cold and lonely, and it seems a little dull and depressing.

Stopping and stopping all the way, before you know it, you have almost walked through every household in the small town. It's just that the more I look at this, the more strange Wukong becomes, how this small city looks like an empty city.

Just wondering to himself, he heard a sudden "squeak" sound on the right side behind him, and when he looked back, a courtyard door quietly opened a crack.

A middle-aged man of about forty years old stood inside the door, his bronzed face was full of furrows, and he looked like a little old man in his fifties and sixties.

He stretched out his head to see Wukong, his face was obviously stunned for a moment, and then, he beckoned to Wukong, "Little master, hurry, come in", the words were hurried, and there was panic in his voice.

Wukong was also stunned, then turned around and strode into the door. As soon as he stopped, he heard a "clang" behind him, and the door was closed.

"Big brother, what are you?" Wukong asked calmly.

The middle-aged man didn't say anything, but he saw that his face was full of panic, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Wukong's left hand, trembling, and pulled Wukong into the inner room all the time, and quickly closed the doors and windows before he put down Wukong's hand.

Wukong didn't ask, this was just an ordinary person, and by the faint light, he found that the middle-aged man's face was very pale, and his body seemed to be trembling involuntarily.

What the hell is going on?

In the corner of the house, a little girl of eleven or twelve, with her arms folded over her shoulders, curled up in a dark corner, her head bowed, and she did not say a word.

"Amitabha, what the hell is going on?" Wukong asked.

After waiting for two or three minutes, the middle-aged man said incoherently, "Dragon, dragon meat", and after speaking, he looked at the window with a frightened expression, his legs trembled, and he almost collapsed on the ground.

Wukong hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and helped him to the edge of the bed and sat down.

After patient questioning and spending a long time, Wukong gradually figured out the reason for the middle-aged man's panic.

It turns out that this small city of Anfeng is located in a remote area, the land is barren, and there has been no rain for many years.

The rest of the people in order to survive the remnants, many people have the habit of hiking to Bagong Mountain, twenty miles away, before dawn to dig up some medicinal herbs, and come back to exchange for daily necessities with some ordinary prey. It's just that the big snake looks very strange, its whole body is snow-white, its scales are thick, and there are two small horns on its head that look like deer antlers.

According to a young student, when the snake was found, it was covered in bruises and dying. At first, people thought it was just an ordinary snake, and although it was rare, it didn't take it seriously.

But then, I don't know who said that it could be a dragon.

This statement immediately caused an uproar.

A dragon, not a snake, ordinary people, ancestors, where can I see it.

Later, some people said that after eating dragon meat, you can immediately become an immortal and live forever.

Now, something bad is happening. The streets and alleys of Anfeng City, the whole city was a sensation, regardless of women and children, everyone with knives and baskets, the whole family set out, swarmed, in less than a moment, the poor white dragon was divided and clean, even the blood on the ground, the scales on the dragon's body were scavenged clean, and no armor was left.

Today, every household, the large water tank used to store grain is full of pickled dragon meat.

There are only a middle-aged family of two, and the father and daughter did not participate in the division of dragon meat. He didn't dare, because he believed that there is a debtor and a debtor, a cycle of cause and effect, and there is no white dragon meat in the sky. Besides, when the white dragon was divided, there was a clear storm in the sky, lightning and thunder, and that was by no means a good sign.

Sure enough, before lunch, a strange little old man came to the house, and the old man came to his house and did nothing, but went to the water tank to look at it, and then told him that he was a good man, so that he would remember to go to the city gate early tomorrow morning, and if he found that the stone lion's eyes were bleeding, he would take the child and quickly flee westward, and never look back, no matter what happened behind him. After saying that, the light flashed, and the strange old man was gone.

"The stone lion's eyes are bleeding, and he keeps fleeing westward, don't look back", these words simply frightened the father and daughter. And that weird old man, who is clearly a fairy.

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he was already prostrated and sweaty.

Could it be that the smell of strange fragrance is the fragrance of dragon meat?

After listening to the middle-aged man's intermittent description, Wukong was speechless for a while, "A white dragon was castrated by a group of ignorant villagers, this is really shocking", he scratched his head, it seems that this Anfeng City is about to set off a bloody storm again.
