Chapter 204: "Cutting the Grass and Eradicating the Roots"
Tang Seng said loudly: "Wukong, is there someone here again? You ask that person again, let him go!"
"Don't bother the two masters, how boring is it to ask others?" Sun Wukong said with a smile.
The young man in blue was also a hard temper, and when he saw that Sun Wukong didn't let go, he said sharply: "You let me go! There are monsters in the village! If you delay me, you can't afford it!"
When Sun Wukong heard that there were monsters, he secretly said: The deal is coming!
When Sun Wukong was at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, the Buddha once said to him that the more demons and demons are eliminated, the greater his merit will be, and the greater the positive fruit. I've been walking so long this way, and I haven't killed a single demon yet. Now that I hear that there are youkai, how can I not be happy?
Sun Wukong loosened the strength of his hand, but his eyebrows straightened: "What monster? Tell Lao Sun about it! My Lao Sun is the best at subduing demons and catching monsters!"
The blue-clothed young man looked surprised, looked down at Sun Wukong, who was short and thin, and didn't have a few taels of meat, squinted his eyes and said, "Will you subdue demons?"
"Don't you believe it? Lao Sun will make a trick for you to see!"
"You look like this, and you know how to demons, isn't it a monster?" The young man in blue was so frightened that his face was colorless and trembling.
Sun Wukong gritted his teeth, Tang Seng couldn't help but laugh, and called Sun Wukong, who seemed to be about to eat people, and said: "Wukong!
He turned his head and said to the blue-clothed young man: "Don't be afraid! He is not a monster, he is the apprentice of a poor monk, we are monks who have been ordered by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the East to go to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures." My apprentice is really supernatural, and he can really catch monsters. ”
Seeing that Tang Seng was a white, pure, upright, and compassionate monk, the young man in blue asked suspiciously: "Is it really a monster?"
Sun Wukong let go of him and said, "Of course it's not a monster! Of course you can catch monsters! Tell me first: What kind of place is this? What kind of monsters are there?"
The young man in blue shook his sore hand and said, "This is the border of the Wusi Tibetan Kingdom, and most of the people in this village are surnamed Gao, so it is called Gao Laozhuang." There is a rich family in the village, the head of the family is called Gao Taigong, and I am Gao Taigong's family, called Gao Cai.
"Taigong has a daughter, twenty years old, whose name is Cuilan. Three years ago, Taigong wanted to recruit a son-in-law, but unexpectedly recruited a monster and occupied Miss Cuilan, and it has been three years now.
"After my father-in-law found out that his son-in-law was a monster, he said that his daughter recruited a monster, which was not a long-term solution. The monster refused, and locked Miss Cuilan in the back house for almost half a year, and never let it out to meet the family.
"The prince gave me a few taels of silver and told me to go and find the mage to catch the monster. I've been running around all this time, and I've hired three or four people. Those people said in front of me that they were strong in mana and could subdue demons and eliminate demons, but after they came, they were all useless monks and pus-filled Taoist priests, all of whom were beaten away by the monster and couldn't descend the demons.
"Just now, the princess scolded me again, saying that I couldn't do things, and gave me five coins of silver to make a coil, and told me to invite a good mage with real skills to subdue demons. No, I bumped into you just out of the bank!"
Sun Wukong laughed and said: "Bumped into me, it was your creation that came! It was also my business that came! I am the best at catching demons, you take us to meet your father-in-law, and take care of his troubles!"
Where would Gao Cai believe: "Don't coax me, if you can't catch the demon, you will cause me to be scolded!"
"Don't worry, just take us!"
Gao Cai came to be controlled by others, and secondly, he came to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so he carried his baggage, took an umbrella, and led Tang Seng and the two to return to Gao Taigong's mansion.
When he arrived at the door, Gao Cai said, "The two elders, please take a break and wait, and I'll go in and report it." ”
Tang Seng and the two put down their luggage, led the horse, and waited for him in front of the door.
Gao Cai entered the gate and walked into the middle hall. There was an old man sitting in the hall, drinking tea there. The old man wore a black silk scarf on his head, a blue and white palace brocade silk robe, a pair of boots embroidered with gold thread from calfskin on his feet, and a black and green jade pendant belt tied around his waist. Looking at the clothes, he is a rich man, but he doesn't have much meat on his face, and he looks mean.
When the old man saw Gao Cai coming in, he put down his teacup with a snap and scolded sharply: "You dead slave! useless brute, why don't you go and look for someone quickly, and what are you doing when you come back?"
