Xing Xian understood what Tang San meant, the road of cultivation was extremely long, and the heart was extremely important, if he always felt that he was a head taller than others and stronger than others, as he said, if he met a real strong person, he would definitely suffer a lot.

Yang Chan, who had just walked to the front of the room, stopped slightly, and after listening to Tang San's words, she suddenly had a feeling of indescribability in her heart.

Moved, grateful, disgusted? At this time, her heart intersected, and she suddenly felt that this monk was not what she imagined.

In contact with him these days, although Yang Chan is often teased, she clearly knows that her eldest lady's temper has indeed improved a lot before, and her cultivation seems to be slowly thawing from the freezing period.

Out of the storage space, Tang San saw that Bajie and them were holding melons and nibbling on them one by one, eating with relish.

Maybe it's because I haven't eaten watermelon for a long time, and even the skin of the melon is almost gnawed clean.

...

"Disciples, let's get on the road. Tang San slowly got up from the wooden bench he was sitting on, greeted him, and jumped onto the white horse.

"Yes, master. The crowd replied at the same time, and immediately followed.

This time, Bajie can be regarded as full, and he didn't even let go of the seven ripe melons, and his stomach became an oval.

Less than an hour to the west, a small village came into view.

Just as Tang San was about to bypass the village, he suddenly heard the noisy sound of gongs and drums coming from the village.

"Master, someone is beating the gong over there, I think it must be someone's family doing a happy event. Bajie ran to Tang San with a rake on his shoulder, and said with a sneer: "You see that the sky is getting dark, why don't we go to the village tonight and beg for a bowl of wine to eat." ”

As soon as Tang San wanted to speak, he heard Wu Jing say with a smile: "Second Senior Brother, you are talking nonsense, this mortal gets married in the morning, how can there be gongs and drums in the afternoon, I think most of them are dead." ”

Hearing this, Bajie turned his head to look at Wujing, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "What do you know, the customs of this place are different, I heard that people in the west like to have banquets at night when they get married." ”

Wujing is right, most places hold banquets in the morning, because they think the morning is more auspicious, but there are also some places where weddings are held in the afternoon.

"Master, I heard someone chanting, maybe it's a monster, maybe it's a monster, let's go and see, if there is a monster, take the opportunity to surrender. Wukong glanced back at a few people and said, "If people have a happy funeral, let's leave." ”

Tang San thought about it, what Wukong said was also right, if someone else did something, they would leave, if there were really monsters, they could also harvest some experience.

Glancing up at the village in front of him, Tang San nodded, patted the horse's buttocks, and said softly, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

Soon after, the master and apprentice came to the entrance of the village, but before they could enter the village, the sound of gongs and drums and chanting had disappeared.

"What's going on, it was still lively just now, why is it suddenly quiet?" Bajie raised his eyes to look at the village, but he was blocked by the houses and couldn't see anything.

I walked in from a dirt road at the entrance of the village, and when I entered the village, I saw that the doors of every house here were closed, as if I was hiding from someone.

"What's going on?" Tang San said secretly in his heart, "The gong and drum statement just now came from here, why can't you even see a figure for a while." ”

Thinking of this, Tang San jumped up and flew in the direction of more than ten zhang, and saw that there were three Taoist chiefs with bamboo baskets on their backs and weapons in their hands, and they were rushing towards the northwest mountain.

"What are they doing here, are there really monsters?" Looking at the three people in the distance, Tang San couldn't help but wonder.

Originally, he was about to rush up and ask what was going on, but suddenly he heard a shout from the ground, looked down, and saw Bajie staying in front of a house, muttering something in his mouth, so he immediately fell.

"Bajie, what are you doing?" Tang San shouted.

Bajie looked innocent, pouted and pointed to the door in front of him, and said: "Master, we really didn't do anything, just now I was talking to Brother Monkey, and an old woman came out of this house, and just opened the door and called out when she saw me, who knows what's going on." ”

I don't know what's going on, it's not obvious, it's just scared to see you!

"Oh. Tang San nodded, came to Bajie, waved his hand to signal him to step back, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, "Old man, we are monks who went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, passing by here and wanting to set a bowl of water to drink." ”

In the room, an old woman of about sixty years old said: "Youkai, youkai is outside, does he know that we paid the mage to catch him and came to us." ”

When the old man heard this, his legs trembled with fright, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Just as they were about to find a place to hide, they suddenly heard someone shouting outside, and they were even more frightened.

"Old man, we are monks who went to the west to learn scriptures, and we passed by here and wanted to borrow a bowl of water to drink. Seeing that no one was paying attention, Tang San shouted again.

"Old woman, you read it right, how can he say that he is a monk who learns scriptures?" asked the old man.

"It's not dark, and my eyes aren't dazzled, how can I be wrong, maybe the monster is gone!" replied the old woman.

"Bang bang bang..."

Just as they were committed, there was another knock on the door.

"I'll take a look, you find a place to hide first. The old man said this, and walked towards the gate on crutches.

"Crunch..."

"Hey, how can you be so cowardly. "I haven't seen anyone open the door for a long time, and when Tang San was about to leave, he suddenly heard the door creak open.

The door slowly opened a crack, and the old man looked out, and when he found that there were several elders standing outside the door who had bought melons in the afternoon, the old man's hanging heart was put down.

"It's you, Elders. The old man opened the door and saluted Tang San again.

Tang San was also taken aback for a moment, and returned the salute, saying, "Old donor, this is your home." ”

"Yes, yes, Elder please come to the house. ”

Invited a few people to the room, the old man introduced Tang San and a few people to the old woman, and the old woman was relieved after hearing this, even so, when she saw Bajie, she still seemed a little scared.

After a while, he picked up a pot of tea and poured a cup for each of Tang San and the others, "A few elders, please drink tea." ”

Looking at the tea that was still steaming, Tang San slowly took a sip.

"Elder, I just heard you say that you are going to the West Heaven to learn scriptures?" the old man asked.

"yes. ”

"Oops. The old man was suddenly startled, his eyes widened and he said, "Elder, you better spare the road, the front is very dangerous." ”

"Oh?" Tang San smiled with interest and asked, "Why did the old donor say this?"

"Elder, don't you know, this way to the west must pass through the Seven Peerless Mountains, there is a monster on that mountain, very powerful, my son was swept away by it a few days ago. As he spoke, tears slowly slipped down his old eyes.
