The masters and apprentices left the country of black chickens, it was already early winter, the water was cold and the mountains were thin, and the frost leaves were as red as February flowers. The four Tang monks and apprentices went out of the black chicken country, all the way to the west, walked for more than half a month, and suddenly saw a high mountain in front of them, straight into the sky.

"Goku?"

"What does Master command?"

The golden cicada whip pointed: "Look! There is a big mountain ahead, you must be careful to watch out, I am afraid that there are monsters!"

"Master, just rest assured, there is Lao Sun here!" Sun Wukong smiled and comforted.

This mountain is high and densely forested, and the grass is deep and the stream is deep.

But you can see: high or not, the top is connected to the sky, the depth is not deep, and the stream is like the underworld. The bones in front of the mountain are all white clouds. Soar the black mist.

Red plum and green bamboo, green cypress and green pine. There are tens of thousands of zhang soul spirit platform behind the mountain, there is a strange and strange hidden demon cave behind the stage, there is a ding dripping water spring in the hole, and there are more twists and turns of flowing water stream under the spring.

I also saw the fruit ape jumping to the sky and sacking the ground, and the girl with horned deer, and the idiot looked at the roe deer. In the evening, Bashan looks for the cave tiger, and waits for the dawn to turn over the waves and come out of the water dragon. When the door of the cave was squealing, the birds fluttered and looked at the beasts in the forest.

Seeing this group of birds and beasts frightened people's hearts. The hall is down, the hole is down, and the hole is down. The bluestone is dyed into thousands of pieces of jade, and the blue yarn is shrouded in thousands of piles of smoke.

The golden cicada walked at the bottom of the mountain, and before he entered the mountain, he was already terrified when he looked at the mountain, looking left and right, and feeling that there were tigers and leopards.

Suddenly, a red cloud rose from the mountainside, like a raging fire, as if it had burned the void.

Sun Wukong came over to hold the golden cicada and shouted, "Master, get off the horse!" brothers, don't go, the monster is coming!"

Zhu Bajie was excited, and hurriedly raised the nail palladium, and Monk Sha wheeled the scepter and surrounded the golden cicada in the middle.

Sun Wukong saw that his disciples were protecting his master, and looked up again, but he disappeared again. Sun Wukong was a little surprised, thought about it, and said, "Master, you can get on the horse and go." ”

As soon as Jin Chanzi got off the horse, he heard him and asked him to get on the horse again, and asked puzzledly: "You just said that the monster is coming, why did you tell me to get on the horse and walk?"

"Just now I saw a red cloud rising from the middle of the mountain, turning into a ball of fire in the air, like a raging fire, it must be a goblin. This time, the red cloud dispersed again, presumably a passing goblin, don't dare to hurt people, let's go!"

"Brother Monkey, you speak so lightly! What does the goblin have to pass by?" Zhu Bajie smiled as he took the nail palladium.

"As far as your pig's head is concerned, how can you know? If the demon king of which mountain or cave holds a banquet and invites the goblins from other mountains and caves to the meeting, isn't it just that there are spirits from the south, east, west, and northwest who want to pass by? Those goblins often go to the meeting with all their hearts, and have no intention of hurting people. So Lao Sun said that it was a passing goblin. ”

Jin Chanzi listened to Sun Wukong's words, and some of them were skeptical, climbed on horseback, and walked to the mountain.

Sun Wukong was not mistaken, that red cloud was really a goblin, but it was not a passerby, it was specially to arrest Tang Seng.

When the goblin saw the golden cicada in the clouds, he couldn't help laughing, and said to himself: "This golden cicada is really white and fat, fatter than me, hehe, not as white as me! Not as good-looking as me! Those three apprentices, it looks really fierce and evil, hehe, when it comes to me, I want you to become a sick cat if it's a tiger, and I want you to become a dead snake if it's a raptor!"

He rubbed his hands, and the expression on his face changed from a grin to a sneer: "I'm about to go to you for revenge! I can't imagine that there is a way in heaven for you not to go, and there is no way for hell to come and go for yourself!"

It turned out that this was also a goblin who came to take revenge, he was driving the clouds, and was about to go down to do it, when he suddenly saw the golden cicada get off the horse, and three wicked people danced sticks and nails to nail the golden cicada in the middle, as if they had discovered his whereabouts.

The demon thought carefully: "I heard that the monkey has some ability, and the real hero uses wisdom to control people, and I don't fight with them, but to outwit and surrender without a fight, wouldn't it be even more obvious that I have my means?" Tang Seng is a compassionate person, and he is the leader of this line, so I will come to capture the thief and capture the king first, start with the master first, and then break them individually! Haha, wonderful! They only know how to fight with their hands, but they don't know how to fight with their brains. When I kill a few of you, they will definitely admire me, hum, don't they dare to mess with the stinky shelves of their elders?"

The "they" in the goblin's mouth obviously don't refer to Jin Chanzi and others, I don't know who they are?

The good monster, that is, scattered the red light, fell according to the clouds, went to the hillside, and changed into a seven-year-old naughty boy, naked, without clothes, tied the hemp rope hand and foot, hung high on the top of the pine tree, and kept saying, "Help! Woo... Woo...... Save... Fate!"

The voice sounded a little immature, like a child.

The golden cicada was walking, and when he heard this voice, he was suddenly startled, and he grabbed the horse and said, "Wukong, where is someone calling?"

"Master, let's walk! Don't talk about people's sedan chairs, mule sedan chairs, bright sedan chairs, and sleeping sedan chairs. In this deep mountain, even if there is a sedan chair, no one will carry you. Sun Wukong also heard the shout, but he deliberately didn't understand Tang Seng's words.

"It's not a sedan chair carried by a person, it's a call, I hear someone calling!" corrected the golden cicada.

"I know and I hear you. Don't be nosy, let's go our way!" Sun Wukong smiled, jumped behind the horse, and slapped the horse on the buttocks.

The white horse ran again, and when he had gone a short distance, the cry began again:

"Help! Woo... Woo...... Save... Fate!"

If you don't save yourself from death, you can't do anything. Although the westward journey is just an excuse, human nature is good.

The golden cicada reined in the horse again and shouted, "Wukong, this cry is not a ghost or demon. If it's a ghost, how can it scream and scream again every half an hour? You listen to that voice, it's a child. If it's a goblin, where would there be such a voice? Goblins have been cultivating for hundreds or thousands of years, where are there goblins of a few years old? Are they pedestrians who have been injured by passing goblins? Let's go and see!"

Sun Wukong saw that the golden cicada's compassion rose again, turned around, slapped the white horse's buttocks again, and said in his mouth: "Master, this is a place with many fierce and auspicious people, today I will put away your compassion a little, and wait for this mountain to be merciful!"

Don't you know, there are some spirits like snake pythons, he hides in the grass and mountain recesses, and when he sees someone, he calls someone. It's okay if the person who is called doesn't agree, but if he does, he will take the person's primordial spirit away, and at night, the goblin will come and kill people. Let's go, let's go, ignore him!"

The golden cicada had to go forward again. Sun Wukong stopped, looked at the master passing by, and thought: "This monster doesn't know where to hide, just scream and scream, I have to think of a way, so that the master can't hear his scream." ”

At this time, Monk Sha came over, and Sun Wukong stopped him and said, "Senior Brother Sha, you go and hold the horse rope, walk slowly, and wait for Lao Sun to relieve himself." ”

Monk Sha stepped forward quickly. Sun Wukong recited a spell behind him, made a shrinking method, stretched the golden hoop stick back, and sent the three of them out three or four miles away. He expected to be far away from the monster, so he took a step to catch up with the golden cicada, and walked forward together.

"Help! Woo... Help!"

After walking a few steps, the voice of the cry for help sounded again, this time, from behind.

Jin Chanzi turned around and said, "Apprentice, I haven't met the person who suffered along the way, it turns out that we have gone too far." Listen: He is crying behind the mountain!"

"The call is still in front, but the wind has changed and blown the sound to the back. Zhu Bajie replied.

Sun Wukong glared at Zhu Bajie and said loudly: "It doesn't matter if he turns the wind or not, go your way!"

Zhu Bajie saw that he was angry, and he didn't dare to say any more, Monk Sha led the horse, just walked forward, and the golden cicada was silent

The goblin shouted three or four times, but did not see anyone coming, and thought to himself, "I have seen something less than three or four miles away, why haven't I seen anyone come for so long?"

The goblin rode up the clouds and went into the air to watch.

Sun Wukong was looking back, and saw the red cloud again, jumped forward and hugged Tang Seng off the horse, shouting: "Brothers, be careful! Be careful! The goblin is here again!"

panicked, the eight precepts and the sand monk each held a sword, and surrounded the master in the middle.

When the goblin saw this, he said with envy in mid-air: "That monkey's eyes are so powerful, it seems that the plan has to change, and we have to kill the monkey first." When he had made a plan, he collected the cloud again, ran a mile ahead, and hung himself from a pine tree.

Sun Wukong saw that the red clouds had dispersed again, and came to invite the golden cicada to get on the horse.

"You just said that the goblin is here again, and he just got me down, why did he tell me to get on the horse again?" Jin Chanzi was made to dismount by Sun Wukong, and he stopped and stopped, and he couldn't help if he wanted to save people, he was a little annoyed in his heart, and his tone was also a little unhappy.

"This is still a passing goblin, and he doesn't dare to mess with us. ”

"You monkey, you are bent on playing tricks on me! When there is a demon, you say it's okay. Like this peaceful place, it came to scare me again, one moment saying that there were goblins, another saying that the goblins were gone, and another saying that the goblins were coming again. No matter how big or small, they dragged me off the horse and hurt me, but what should I do?"

"Master, don't blame me, if I hurt you in a fall, I can still heal you, if I am caught by a goblin, I will die!" Sun Wukong was still thinking about what kind of goblin he was, and he didn't pay attention to Tang Seng's face.

Jin Chanzi saw his absent-minded appearance, and said that it didn't matter if he fell and was injured, he was furious in his heart, and as soon as his palms were erected and his lips moved, he was about to recite the "Tight Mantra".

Monk Sha saw it and hurriedly came over to persuade him: "Master, Senior Brother is also worried about your safety, so don't worry about him." Don't chant a mantra, as soon as you chant a mantra, it hurts the senior brother, and a monster is coming, how is it good?"

Jin Chanzi thought about it, endured his anger, put his hand down, and Monk Sha helped him climb onto the horse.

"Help, Master, help me..."

The golden cicada had just walked a few steps, and the cry sounded in front of him, and he looked up to see it:

On a big pine tree on the side of the road, there was a child, six or seven years old, with a pink and tender round face, two delicate eyebrows, big and round eyes, clear and smart, with two small horned pigtails combed on his head, and no clothes on his body, naked, tied with hemp rope and hung on the tree, his face was red from the cold wind of early winter, and he looked cute and pitiful.

The golden cicada looked at the reins of the horse, turned his head and scolded Sun Wukong: "You monkey, as a monk, you don't have any kindness and compassion, and you only think about doing evil deeds all the time! I said that the one who called is a person, and you keep saying that you want to say that it is a demon! Look, isn't the person hanging from the tree?"
