After half an hour of hurried for the scripture-learning team, Sun Wukong stopped, pointed ahead, and said, "Isn't that a personal home in the bushes? ”

Tang Seng happily urged the horse to dismount outside the village gate. When he saw that the firewood was closed, he knocked on the door and said, "Open the door, open the door." ”

There was an old man in the village, with a cane in his hand, shoes on his feet, a black scarf on his head, and a plain clothes.

Tang Seng clasped his palms together and bowed to salute and said: "Old donor, the poor monk is a person sent from the east to the west to learn scriptures. Suitable for your place, the night of the special Zun Mansion holiday overnight, Wanwang is convenient and convenient. ”

The old man said: "Monk, you want to go west, but you can't go." The road here is difficult to travel, and you can't get to the west at all. ”

Tang Seng asked, "Why can't you reach the West Heaven?"

The old man pointed his finger and said: "More than 30 miles west of my village, there is a persimmon mountain, also known as the Seven Peerless Mountains. ”

Tang Seng asked, "What are the Seven Uniques?"

The old man said: "This mountain trail is 800 miles, and the mountain is full of persimmon fruits. The ancient cloud persimmon tree has seven uniques: one longevity, two more yin, three no bird's nest, four no insects, five frost leaves to play, six Jiashi, seven branches and leaves are hypertrophied, so it is called seven unique mountains.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, and no one has walked to the deep mountains for eternity. Every year, the ripe persimmons fall on the road, filling up a stone alley, and they are covered with rain, dew, snow and frost, and mildew through the summer, making all the way filthy. This side of the family is commonly known as. But the west wind is blowing, and there is a foul smell, even Taodongyuan is not as foul as this. Now it's late spring, and the southeast wind is blowing, so I haven't heard of it yet. ”

Tang Seng looked at Sun Wukong with an inquiring expression. Sun Wukong is the guide, and it is Sun Wukong's responsibility to lead the scripture-learning team here.

How could Sun Wukong not know that there was a difficult road here? However, if he wanted to go to the Xiliang Women's Country, this was the only way, and he could only lead the team here.

"You old man is very incomprehensible! I will wait for the stay from afar, and you will say so many words to bluff people! Your house is so narrow that there is no place to sleep, I will wait for a squat under this tree, and it will be over this night, why are you so deaf?" Sun Wukong shouted.

When the old man saw that he was ugly, he also twisted his mouth, and he was shocked, stiffened, snorted, and said with a quinoa cane: "You bastard, you have a bony face, kowtow to your forehead, a collapsed nose, sunken cheeks, hairy eyes, and a tuberculosis ghost, you don't know how high or low, you have a pointed mouth, and you dare to come and bump into my old man!"

Sun Wukong laughed again: "Old official, you have eyes but no beads, and you don't know me, a tuberculosis ghost! Xiang Fayun describes strangely, and there is a treasure of beautiful jade in the stone." If you judge people by their words and appearances, and you are clean, although I am ugly and ugly, I have some means. ”

The old man said, "What kind of name are you, who is your surname, and what are the means?"

Sun Wukong said with a smile: "My ancestral home is Dongsheng Great Divine Continent, and I have cultivated since I was a child in front of Huaguo Mountain. Worship the ancestor of the Lingtai Fangcun, and learn martial arts for a full week. It can also stir up the sea and descend the dragon mother, and the good will bear the mountain to catch the sun; I am a beautiful stone monkey with infinite changes!"

Sun Wukong boasted to himself, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng both walked away, only Tang Seng pretended to be interested in listening to him brag.

When the old man heard this, he was overjoyed, bowed down and taught: "Please settle in the cold house." ”

The four people led their horses and carried their burdens into the house together, and saw the thorns and thorns laying on both sides, and the second floor door was a wall of brick and stone, and it was covered with thorns, and there were three tiled houses inside. The old man pulled a chair and sat down for tea, and called it a meal. After a while, moving over the table, there were a lot of gluten, tofu, taro seedlings, radish white, spicy mustard, cranberry, fragrant rice and rice, vinegar roasted sunflower soup, and the masters and apprentices had a full meal.

After eating, Zhu Bajie pulled Sun Wukong and asked: "Senior brother, this old man refused to stay overnight at the beginning, and now he is back to set up this fast, why not?"

Sun Wukong said: "If you are courteous to others, you must ask for something, you see, he has something to ask me!"

After a while, it was gradually dusk, and the old man called the palm lamp again. Sun Wukong bowed down and asked, "Father-in-law's surname?"

The old man said, "The surname is Li." ”

Sun Wukong said: "You want to be Lijiazhuang?"

The old man said: "No, this place is called Huoluo Village, and there are more than 500 people living in it. There are many other surnames, but my surname is Li. ”

Sun Wukong said: "Master Li, what kind of kindness does the government have to give me a long fast?"

The old man got up and said, "I just heard that you said that you can take monsters, but I have a monster here. ”

Sun Wukong sang upwards: "Take care of it!" and then wondered: "The terrain here is flat, and many families live, not to mention the remote place, what kind of goblin dares to go to your high-ranking family?"

The old man said: "I won't tell you the truth, I've been here for a long time. In the past month, a sudden gust of wind arose, and the people were very busy at that time, and the wheat threshing was on the field, and the rice planters were in the field, and they were all in a panic, saying that the sky had changed. Who knew that the wind passed by, and a goblin ate the cattle and horses that people graze, and the pigs and sheep ate them. Since that time, these days have often come to hurt. Elder, if you have the means to take him and sweep away this land, we will thank him and dare not be disdainful. ”

Sun Wukong said: "This is difficult to take." ”

When Zhu Bajie heard that a month ago, his expression moved, and he also said helpfully: "It's really hard to take, it's hard to take! We are foot monks, spend the night overnight, walk tomorrow, what kind of goblin to take!"

The old man said: "You turned out to be a monk who cheated on food! When I first saw you, I boasted that I would change the stars and subdue the monsters, and when I talked about it, I pushed it but it was difficult to take it!"

Sun Wukong was squeezed by the old man and said, "Old man, the goblin is easy to take." It's just that we still have to go to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures, and we can't live here permanently. ”

The old man said: "You can rest assured that this goblin will come to the village every evening, or eat cattle and sheep, or make people, and never cut off for a day." ”

Sun Wukong smiled: "That's easy, when he comes tonight, Lao Sun will lower him for you." ”

Although he was seriously injured, he thought that it would be easy for him to subdue a youkai.

Besides, this goblin has been here for more than a month, looking at the village here, neat and tidy, and not decaying, it is not expected to be a powerful monster. If the powerful monsters come here, they will either eat the people and animals here within a month, or scare all the people here away.

Zhu Bajie's eyes rolled, and he said secretly: "The red boy blocked the scripture learning team a month ago, and it was also a month for the goblins to appear here. This goblin haunts every day, and its appearance is suspicious, isn't it afraid of being caught by the mage? It seems to be waiting for people here, could it be that this goblin is the fate that Zhang Tianshi said?"

Tang Seng said to the old man: "Don't worry, my big apprentice is dedicated to subduing demons and eliminating demons, and I will definitely be able to get rid of demons and keep you safe." ”

The old man thanked him again.
