Chapter 54: Stone Forest in Distress
After questioning, Ruan Jiu learned that those black insect swarms did not attack everyone in the end. After confronting each other for a moment, they retreated in all directions.
In order to find Ruan Jiu's whereabouts, everyone has been digging in the sand where she disappeared. However, apart from the yellow sand all over the ground, there are no dark holes in the ground at all.
Later, a Japanese god who passed by this place told everyone that there was a stone forest ten miles ahead of this place, and I heard that there were often monsters there. So, Sun Wukong asked Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng to stay where they were to protect their master. He himself went to the stone forest alone to investigate.
So there was the previous scene.
On the way back, Ruan Jiu briefly told Sun Wukong about her experience this time. In fact, even she herself still hasn't figured it out. As for the white dragon and the boy in black, she didn't know their identities.
After listening to Ruan Jiu's narration, Sun Wukong also felt a little strange.
"Can you tell if they are monsters?" asked Sun Wukong.
Ruan Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Shouldn't it?" But he said he was a practitioner. ”
"Cultivator?"
Sun Wukong frowned, thinking about something secretly in his heart.
"Senior brother, isn't there something wrong?"
Seeing that Sun Wukong had been pondering, Ruan Jiu couldn't help but ask.
Sun Wukong was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's okay, I just asked casually." After speaking, he looked at Ruan Jiu. "By the way, did you see what kind of youkai was holding you?"
"It seems like two ...... Two ......"
Ruan Jiu thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with any words to use to describe those two monsters. After all, they hadn't changed back to their original form at the time, so she couldn't tell.
"It's okay, if you can't think of it, forget it. As long as you're okay. Seeing Ruan Jiu thinking with a tangled face, Sun Wukong said to her with a smile.
Since both of them were traveling against the wind, they soon returned to the place they had agreed with the others.
Tang Seng and the others, who had been anxiously waiting for news in the same place, saw Sun Wukong coming back with Ruan Jiu, and they all greeted him excitedly.
"Xiao Jiu, are you okay?"
Tang Seng asked with a concerned face. Ever since Ruan Jiu sank into the yellow sand, he had always felt very guilty in his heart. I thought that if he had stopped it a little at that time, it wouldn't have turned out like that. So for Ruan Jiu, Tang Seng still felt a little guilty in his heart.
"I'm sorry Master, Xiao Jiu made you worried. ”
Ruan Jiu was like a child who had done something wrong, and lowered his head and whispered.
"Senior sister, you're in a hurry to kill us! Master said that you fell into the sand, and Senior Brother Sha and I almost didn't dig up the entire sandy field!"
Zhu Bajie stepped forward and pulled Ruan Jiu to look up and down. I was relieved when I was sure it was really okay.
"Alas, Second Senior Brother, we didn't turn over the entire sandy area. The further down the sand goes, the harder it is to dig up, and the two of us can't do it at all. Sha Seng said on the side.
Zhu Bajie turned his head and glared at Lao Sha fiercely, secretly saying why he had so many mouths.
Ruan Jiu looked at the two of them and made a mischievous grimace at them: "Thank you, two senior brothers!"
Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng smiled, both of them looked a little embarrassed.
After a few sips of water, Ruan Jiu told everyone about his experience. Although the whole process is not very long, the thrilling level is very dangerous.
"Amitabha! Xiao Jiu is blessed, and I think there are nobles to help me. Tang Seng clasped his hands together and sighed lightly.
After resting for a while, the group decided to continue on their way. Fearing that the black swarm would attack again, everyone sped up and didn't stop for a moment.
When I came to the Stone Forest again, it was already after noon.
Looking at the stone pillars lined with strange rocks around him, Tang Seng couldn't help but exclaim: "These rocks are really magical, and there is nothing more than this wonder between heaven and earth." ”
Sun Wukong smiled: "Master, you have never seen anything more spectacular. Just these broken stones, my grandson can find a piece of it casually. ”
Zhu Bajie said: "Brother Monkey, you're talking about the heavens, right? ”
"With your lazy nature, you won't go to even the most spectacular places. Sun Wukong said.
Zhu Bajie was speechless for a while, he wanted to refute, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with any good lines. In the end, I had no choice but to give up.
The area of the stone forest is large, and the roads are complicated. So they found an open space and prepared to rest for a while.
Sun Wukong saw that everyone was thirsty and hungry, so he said: "You stay here, I will go and make some food for you." ”
As soon as Zhu Bajie heard that there was something to eat, his eyes immediately lit up. The idea of complaining about Sun Wukong in his heart was thrown out of the sky in an instant.
"Brother Monkey, you want more. My old pig's stomach is almost hungry and can't bulge. Zhu Bajie said to Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong smiled and ignored him. Instead, he came directly to Tang Seng.
"Master, this stone forest is different from the outside. In order to prevent a sneak attack by a youkai, you must not run out again. ”
When Tang Seng heard that there were monsters here, his face suddenly turned pale: "Wukong, do you mean that there are monsters here?"
Sun Wukong glanced around and said, "The demonic aura here is not obvious, even if there are monsters who want to come, they are just some little demons who have not been practicing for a long time." Master doesn't have to worry too much. ”
After that, Sun Wukong said to the other three: "You stay here to protect Master." I'll talk about it when I get back. ”
Seeing that everyone nodded, Sun Wukong summoned the golden hoop stick again and drew a golden circle around everyone's rest.
This operation, Ruan Jiu is quite familiar.
When she was on TV, she didn't watch this paragraph less. At that time, she also thought that she could also be protected by Sun Wukong's circle, which would be very interesting. Now that wish has come true. Thinking of this, Ruan Jiu couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
After explaining the safety matters, Sun Wukong picked up the purple gold bowl and flew into the sky on a somersault cloud.
In order to prevent possible dangers, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng carefully checked the movements around them. Ruan Jiu squatted on the ground curiously, looking at the golden circle left by Sun Wukong.
It is said that it is a golden circle, but in fact, it lit up a few times when it was first drawn. After Sun Wukong left, the ground returned to its previous appearance. If you don't look closely at the painting, you can't see that there is a circle of Noda on the ground.
Tang Seng was still sitting on the stone as usual, closing his eyes and reciting the scriptures. Ruan Jiu listened attentively at first. Later, I found that I didn't understand it at all, so I gave up completely.
Just as everyone was waiting for Sun Wukong to come back with the meal, a boulder in front of the stone forest suddenly moved. Then I heard the clatter of the rock breaking, and a black crack opened in the huge rock in an instant.
