Chapter 9: A Strange Town

Sun Wukong carried the Bull Demon King on his back and returned to Tang Sanzang and Sha Wujing, and it didn't take long for Zhu Bajie to come back. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After explaining the matter in detail, Tang Sanzang nodded and said: "Since this is the case, Wukong, you go and send the cow donor home, we have already helped Guanyin to accept other people's children, this is already a cow donor's family, if the cow donor has any mistakes, it will be difficult to escape the blame." ”

Regarding Guanyin's acceptance of the red child, Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang and others are all guilty, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no point in saying more. Sun Wukong nodded, hurriedly picked up the Bull Demon King, and sent it back to the Basho Cave of Cuiyun Mountain, first compensated with the Iron Fan Princess, explained the matter of the Red Child, and explained how to rescue the Bull Demon King, and explained the Iron Fan Princess in detail.

After Sun Wukong finished speaking, Princess Iron Fan was already in tears, for the matter of the red child, Princess Iron Fan did not blame Sun Wukong, first of all, this is the fault of the red child after all, the red child is too conceited and listened to the slander, to be unfavorable to Tang Sanzang, and finally was collected by Guanyin, which is also a helpless thing, because this is simply Guanyin's calculation.

For this matter, Sun Wukong was a little surprised, and asked Princess Iron Fan to talk about it in detail. The princess of the iron fan first placed the Bull Demon King and found someone to take care of it. The Bull Demon King is actually fine, but he has been tormented day and night for so many years, and his soul has been blocked by Rulai, and it will take a period of time to recuperate. After placing the Bull Demon King, Princess Iron Fan said: "Actually, eight years ago, Guanyin Bodhisattva once came to me. ”

"That was when my red boy was only three years old, and although he was still young, he had long understood things, and I had told him about his father. It's just that our mother and son are weak, and there is no way to save my husband, who has suffered in the Flame Mountain for so many years, and I am in this plantain cave, washing my face with tears every day. On that day, Guanyin came to me and said that I had something to talk about with my red boy, and I didn't want to, but Guanyin just waved his hand, and I was imprisoned. ”

"Guanyin found my child, and called to the guest room, I didn't know what they talked about, and soon Guanyin left, and I asked about this many times, and my child told me that Guanshi came to him that day, and he negotiated a condition with him. That is, if the red boy can catch Tang Sanzang on the way to learn the scriptures in the West, then Guanyin can release the Bull Demon King. When my boy heard that there was a way to save his father, he agreed. ”

"But how did he know that the one who locked his father in the Flame Mountain was the evil Buddha of the Western Heavens, I tried to dissuade him many times, but my children just didn't listen, and finally had a big quarrel with me and ran away from home, I have been looking for him for so many years, but there is no news. It wasn't until a while ago that the little demon came to report that my child caught Tang Sanzang in the Huoyun Cave of the dry pine stream of Haoshan Mountain, but in the end he was subdued by Guanyin, and sat on Guanyin's good wealth boy. I know that my child has been fooled. ”

"Although I am a woman, but I am sensible, I know who caused these grudges, and I also know who to report these grudges, uncle, thank you for saving my old cow this time. After speaking, Princess Iron Fan wanted to kowtow to Sun Wukong to thank her, but where did Sun Wukong dare to accept it, he immediately stopped Princess Iron Fan and said: "Sister-in-law doesn't have to be like this, I will avenge the enmity of my eldest brother and nephew sooner or later." I thought that my sister-in-law would take care of my eldest brother in the future, and there was no need for it in the future, so it would be better to go out less, I don't know if the people of Buddhism will find trouble with my eldest brother again. ”

"In addition, if my sister-in-law has something or encounters danger in the future, she only needs to burn my hair, and I will dare to come to the rescue immediately, my master is still waiting, sister-in-law take care. After speaking, Sun Wukong plucked a few hairs and handed them to Princess Iron Fan, and without waiting for Princess Iron Fan to say something, Sun Wukong left with him.

However, the hatred in Sun Wukong's heart has added three points.

I didn't expect Rulai Lao'er to be so vicious, although he indirectly released the Bull Demon King, he caught the red child.

Soon Sun Wukong came back, and once again talked about the Iron Fan Princess and the Red Child, and Tang Sanzang, Bajie, and Wujing, and everyone was silent.

"There are some things that we can just keep in our hearts, and since the fire of the Flaming Mountain has been extinguished, then it's time for us to hurry. After Tang Sanzang finished speaking, he got on the horse first. The fire in the Flaming Mountain has been extinguished, and it has rained heavily just now, and the air is no longer hot and dry, and the Flaming Mountain can be passed. This time the Bull Demon King, everyone knew who was behind the scenes, but no one said anything.

The four of them and one horse set foot on the road to the west again, and this walk took another seven whole days. On this day, Tang Sanzang and his party came to a small city. As soon as he entered the city, Sun Wukong's brows furrowed, Tang Sanzang and the others also frowned, looking at this small city that was not too big, and the pedestrians in a hurry inside, Tang Sanzang finally couldn't help but say: "Wukong, what's going on?" It turned out that as soon as he entered the city, Tang Sanzang found that this small city was very strange, not as lively and bustling as other cities, but rather lifeless.

Although there are a lot of people in this small town, everyone looks sluggish, and even the conversation between them is very strange, feeling like a walking corpse, which is creepy. Sun Wukong sneered: "Master, don't worry, wait until the evening, everything will be understood, now, let's find an inn to rest, and there will be a good show to watch at night." Sun Wukong didn't say anything, and Tang Sanzang didn't ask again, but Tang Sanzang knew that there must be a problem here.

The group soon found a post house, the boss here also looked dull, but it was not dementia, Sun Wukong and others found a larger guest room, cleaned up, ate some dry food, and a few people rested. In fact, Zhu Bajie wanted to eat very much, but Sun Wukong said that if you want to be like that, you can eat as you like, Zhu Bajie smiled awkwardly, and then went to eat steamed buns strangely.

Soon, the sun set in the west, the moon rose, and as night fell, Sun Wukong suddenly woke up and woke up the master, Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Let's go, go to the play." After that, he went out first. As soon as he got out of the door of the post station, Zhu Bajie first saw that it was very bright outside, looked up at the moon, and found that the moon was not very big, but the whole small city did have a feeling of being on fire.

didn't wait for Zhu Bajie to say anything, but he saw that in every house, suddenly a lot of people came out, all of them closed their eyes and walked shakingly. Tang Sanzang was full of surprise, and asked Sun Wukong: "Wukong, what's going on, these people?" Sun Wukong sneered again, and said, "Do you see the light here?" Man has three souls and seven spirits, but in addition to this, man also has spirits. The spirit is the source of one's will, and without one's spirit, one becomes like a walking corpse. When a person's spirit is swallowed up, then this person becomes an empty shell, an empty shell with three souls and seven spirits unscathed. ”

When Zhu Bajie heard this, he hurriedly took off his clothes, then raised them to block the heads of several people, and said, "Block it quickly, don't be exposed to the light." Sun Wukong said: "It's okay, this light is already very weak, if it is not illuminated over the years, it doesn't matter, and you and I are both demons, not so easy to be devoured." However, there must be something wrong with this country. Go back to sleep, and tomorrow we'll follow the light and see what is devouring the soul. ”

Zhu Bajie was obviously a little afraid of this light, shrunk his neck and said: "Brother Monkey, this light is so evil, let's take a detour, right?" Sun Wukong looked up at the night sky, sighed and said: "Since the first day we embarked on the road to the west, we have no chance to make a detour or turn back, since this incident has allowed us to meet, it means that this is not an accident or a chance encounter, but a ......"

"But someone did it on purpose, waiting for us, Bajie, Wujing, go back to sleep. Tang Sanzang took the sentence that Sun Wukong didn't finish.
